Plynoath, lad., February 27, 902. President Roosevelt's action in setting on foot a prosecution of the railroad mergers is causing a commotion amonjr the trusts. There is but one party in Mississippi, so the congressional districts have been gerrymandered in favor of a particular set of democrats. The force of habit is powerful. Census report on domestic animals shows total value of $3,200,000,000 for the country. Iowa leads the states iii value of holdings and Texas is lirst in point of numbers. The war taxes passed in 19 to meet the cot of a foreign conflict will be wholly wiped out in ll02. It takes good management to accomplish such financial feats. Friends of Admiral Schley are passing the world along the line that the case must be dropped. They realize that an appeal to congress would only make it worse for Schley. . The government at "Washington believes a warning note to Russia regarding Chinese concessions will protect American interests in all treaties negotiated in the Orient. Confidence in Russia's friendliness is expressed. The difference between government salaries and those paid by private corporations is shown by the fact that, as secretary of the trersury, Lyman J. Gage received S,000 a year, while as presicentof a trust company in New York he will receive $50,000 a year. This paper believes in a government of tr.e people not a government of bosses! Every man in this' congressional district knovs that the convention was called on less than two weeks notice to prevent any opposition to the candidate of the bosses. The fact that there would have been no ether candidates does not lesson the heinousness of the crime. The Chicago Chronicle is another Democratic paper that disagrees with the great Clay W. Metsker. It says that in every way possible the nation should let it be known that Wheeler of Kentucky and his manner of expressing his sentiments are an accident and by no means a result of our democracy and our republican institutions. There is every reason to believe if the ways and means committee does not agree on a bill for the relief of Cuba within a reasonable time the President will send a special message to congress setting out once more the .necessity for immediate action and snggesting how relief may be brought about. The committee evidently does not want to be put in the attituteof having to be)guided by the President and may not dally long with the subject. It is now known that the president requested Attorney General Knox to consider the merger of the Northern raeiöc, the Burlington and Great Northern railways, because he believed that the merger is a violation of the Sherman anti-trust laws. This is bad for the democrats and the antitrust lobby at "Washington who have been constantly harping about the president and the trusts. It looks like these fellows are almost out of a job. The Indiana representatives in congress are naturally taking a great deal of interest in the congressional congressional conventions in their various districts. Every Indiana congressman is a candidate for re-election. Con gressman Cromer was the first to be renominated, and it was generally con ceded that he would have the hardest struggle of all of the Indiana con gressmen at the nominating, conven tion; but his ingenuity and shrewd ness finally pulled him through. Cromer is not looked upon at a states man, but he is regarded as an adroit and diplomatic politician. Cne of the men at whom the Kentucky "Wheeler flings his abuse is Captain Clark, of the Oregon, the prudent,' intelligent and watchful officer who brought thafi ship 12,000 " miles and added her to the fleet about Cuba in a condition to take a prominent part in the victory at Santiago. The Oregon always. had fires under her boilers, and, though not regarded as a speedy ship, the speed she developed at . Santiago enabled her to take a prominent part in the fight because she had a commander who always kept her in trim for action. The distinguished Clay W. Metsker, of this city, applauds Jintucky Wceler for abusing Captain Clark

A resolution has been introduced in the house proposing an amendment to the constitution so as to permit the President to the veto objectionable features of appropriation bill without making veto the applicable to the entire measure. As the constitution now stands, an appropriation bill must be aoproved or disapproved as an entirety, thus often compelling the President to approve some items which he would like to disapprove, but cannot without vetoing the whole bill. It is probable that almost every President has experienced embarrassment from this cause. There have been several instances in which the President has vetoed appropriation bills with "riders" attached that is, with provisions which would probably be vetoed if passed as separate bills, but which are made part of important bills in order to insure executive sanction. In 1854. in vetoing on general grounds a bill for public improvements, President Pierce advised congress "to make appropriation for every work in a separate bill, so that each one shall stand on its own independent merits.

Former United States Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, made an argument before the Senate committee on immigration against the proposed Chinese exclusion bill. He said that tho regulation of Chinese immigration should be left to diplomatic negotiation in order to prevent irritation, which already was such as to affect the Chinese legation in the United States and possibly the Chinese court itself. He contended that the Chinese government would be willing to co-operate with us in meeting our desires, and said that it is far preferable to approach the solution of the problem in that way in view of the fact that we are asking of China more than ever before, while we are in a position to give less. He also said that, while he did not favor coolie labor, he was sure the Chinese had been a most valuable factor in the development of the "West, id that they had not interfered in anv way with the labor operations cf the American people. Some of the Republican papers seem to think that opposition to a snap convention is treason to the republican party. The editors of these papers all know that their methods to thwart the will of the people is treason to the party and to government by the people. It is not Congressman Brick, as a man that we are righting, but the plans adopted by him and his advisers to prevent competition and crush other candidates. Mergers and trusts are as nothing to such methods. Nobody expects any oppositisn to Mr. Brick in the convention therefore every newspaper and every lover of political .liberty in the Thirteenth district should makehimselfieard now, and if possible prevent a repetition of methods intended to prevent a fair expression of the voters in selecting candidates A half dozen bosses should not be allowed to con trol nominations. If the Republicans of the district believe in such control conventions are useless. GREAT MEN DIFFER. Hon. Clay W. Metsker, of Plymouth, Marshall county's most distinguished democrat, thinks Congressman "Wheeler's speech abusing Prince Henrv is one of the greatest speeches ever delivered and should be the battle cry of the democratic party. Hon. John B. Stoll of South Bend, has a different opinion. He says: The democratic press and democrats generally will put themselves squarely on record as disapproving and repudiating - his uncalled-for, ill-mannered, boorish reference to Prince Henrv and incidentally to the German people in general. Half-way apologies will not answer the purpose. There is simply no sort of excuse for the coarse and brutal expletives of the Kentucky congressman. His diatribe was a disgraceful exhibition of narrowess that should be beneath the dignity of any individual occupying a seat in the American congress. Governor Cummins, of Iowa, thinks that there will have to be federal regulation of trusts, that trusts should be national drawing their powers from the general government and responsible to it, and that they should never be capitalized beyond the amount of the money actually invested in the enterprise. Further than this and here he agrees with Mr. Babcock and many other republicans he would withdraw all tariff protection from monopolistic trusts. American history moves fast. Since the republicans resumed control of the government in 1897, the territory of the United States has been enlarged by the acquisition of Hawaii, the Philippines, Guam, part of Samoa, Porto Rico, and the Danish "West Indies. The isthmian canal will be practically added before long. The congressional committee had just as much right to nominate a candidate for congress without calling a convention as they had to fix the time of the convention to prevent any op position to their wishes. "We hope this district nor any other district will ever again be disgraced by such a committee.

The republican party oannot be injured by doing right and the newspaper that demands fair play for all candidates will not injure the party or its candidates.

Ambassador White at a Washington celebration in Berlin declared Germany a friend of the United States and säid that all stories of enmity between the two countries are groundless. Now that the smoke of the SchleySampson controversy is clearing away people begin to realize that the men behind the guns are entitled to a large share of credit for the victory at Santiago. Almost everybody is glad that the Schley Sampson controversy is at an end, and the people believe with the president that while both Sampson and Schley were good commanders and entitled to credit, the victory was won by the united efforts of all the officers and the men behind the guns. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says so long as Cuba has an opportunity to become a territory of the United States it enjoys the greatest of all concessions we can extend. If the island prefers a separate nationality it can not reasonably expect to be coddled at the expense of other foreigncountries. The house made a quick and clean job with the bill to repeal the war revenue act of 189$. It passed the bill by a unanimous vote. Seldom is there so much harmony on any important measure as there has been or this bill. According to the estimates, the bill will cut down the revenues alout $76,000,000 a year. Germany is going to be more careful than ever abour the importation of meats. A new '.aw on the subject goes into effect October 1 next. It will absolutely forbid the importation of ceats in the preparation of which chemicals injurious to health have been used. Oleomargarine, however, may be colored, and sausage skins may be "tinted, " in so far as this is possible without violating the law. Among the chemicals the use of which is forbidden are boracic acid, formaldehyde and salicvlic and chloric acid. A New Line of Travel. The coming of Prince Henry, the New York Commercial Advertiser thinks, may be indicative of the change with reference to royalty and national representatives toward this country Already there is strong likelihood that the King of the Belgians, who has large investments here, may visit us. The dowager Queen Margherita, of Italyf will also come soon, while there have been intimations that even Emperor William may visit us. Up to the present time only two reigning sovereigns have ever come to this country, and one might say that they were not the real thing. One was Dom Pedro, of Brazil, who, the astute William of Germany said, made the mistake of trying to be a democrat on a throne. He was here during our centennial exhibition. But he went about in a manner so entirely democratic as to be" little or on account as a royal attraction. The other was "King Caliq ." as Kalikaua, King of Hawaii, was called. The NewYork paper thinks that royal personages have avoided this country mainly from the belief than their rank would not be respected here and that they would be subjected to various discomforts and annoyances by well meant yet disagreeable acts of obtrusiveness. If further thinks that if Prince Henry's itinerary is managed with consideration and good judgement there is no reason why the American tour should not become a pcpular one with monarchies. We agree with that, but we do riot agree with ths first suggestion. While in a democratic government there is likely to be more or les of unintentional, but well meant intrusion, there is at the same time an inherent pride simply because of the sense of demovttt'o equality. But we do not be lieve that Europe's royalty has any such belief. Crowned heads have never come this way because there has been little in this country to attract them. Natural scenery is nothing. It is the work of men and their insti tutions that are attractive, and thus far we have not counted for enough in the world to lie taken into considera tion. We are counting in that way now and it is not improbable that as a result royal visitors, mav be not rare in future. Indianapolis News. Indiana Farm Yields Gold. "Colonel Calvert, of Cleveland, Ohio, who went to Brown County last summer and purciiased land for gold mining purposes, looking for a site for his. machinery, and at the head of a small stream, where the water had formed a small pool by falling over a rock he found black sand which has proved to contain gold. He has now built a dam below the pool in order to catch the gold washed down, and he intends to start to mining on a much larger scale than originally contemplated. Mr. Calvert unearthed $200 worth on his farm last fall.

Mr. Crumpacker's Victory. The action of the republican house caucus provivding for a special committee to investigate and inquire into the election laws in the different states with a view of ascertaining if in any the right to vote is denied to any male citizen except for crime, is a triumph for Representative Crumpacker. The method of procedure, it is true, is different from that provided for in his bill,' but the principle is the same. When Mr. Crumpacker announced his purpose he had so little encouragement to proceed that many men would have abandoned the case, but with him it was a matter involving the integrity of the. constitution and the fair representation of the states in the house and in the Electoral College, and therefore could not be abandoned. From the first the proposition to inquire into existing conditions has gained ground steadily. Those who feared that such action might be resented by the South, where states have deliberately disfranchised the negro, came to see that the rights of the negro in the South are not involved so much as that violation of the constitution which gives states representation In the house for hundreds of thousands of people who have been disfranchised on account of race. The right of states to thus disfranchise is not raised by the proposed investigation, but it is designed to ascertain if there has been such a disfranchisement on account of race that the representation in the house should in justice and in accordance with the provisions of the constitution be reduced. It is not a question of voting as some would have it that determine representation, but of population. If a portion of the population is disfranchised because of the disfranchisement of the males of the voting age because the race, that portion should be deducted from the entire population because it is not represented. Such being the case there can be no ground for sectionai or other bitterness. Indianapolis Journal.

Reciprocity Has a SSim Chance. A subcommittee of the foreign relations committee of the senate has finally decided that the reciprocity treaties with various foreign countries may be acted upon, and as the full committee approves of the finding the treaties will now be brough t before the senate for ratification, though they may not be ratified. The problem of construction was not an easy one because of the wording of the Dingley iaw. In the reciprocity section of that law occurs the qualifying expression, "within the period of two years from and after the passage of this act," which seems to set a limit to the time within which treaties mav be negotiated. There is also another sentence which refers to the approval of congress as a condition precedent to the establishment of the treaties, and which has been the subject of dispute between those who believed that the senate had the sole right to pass upon treaties and those who held that the condition was absolute. The committee pronounces against the time limit, but for the condition, si that a double ratification will be necessary. Hence the prospect has gloom in the foreground and the gloom beyond, for the senate contains a large righting contingent whose first thought is to kill reciprocity. Times Herald. Chairman O'Brien's Plans. At the meeting of the democrat c state committee in Indianajolis Saturday Chairman O'Brien will spring a new plan of organization. He will suggest, it is said, the appointment in every county of an executive committee that will work in connection with the direct committeemen. The kta is that a compact organization wi'l thus be formed that will keep in touch with the state headquarters at all times. Surrender of Filipinos. What is believed to have been the largest existing band of insurgents in Batangas pr jvince has surrendered to Lieut. Charles D. Rhodes, of the Sixth Cavalry, at Banah. Major Amoranto, two captains, six lieutenants and ninety-eight Filipino soldiers gave themselves up and also five revolvers, sixty-six rifles and two thousand rounds of ammunition Rhodes had been hunting the -insurgents from place to piace for weeks and continu ally destroying their supplies. They were virtually starved into surrender. . The skeletons of five soldiers of the Thirty-ninth infantry, killed in Nov ember, 1900, have been recovered. They will be shipped to the United States. Major McFaddin and the Lawyer. The late Major McFaddin, so. long a prominent citizen of Logansport and the hero of two wars, was a probate judge back in the 50 's. He had some trouble with a lawyer, who nagged him bevond endurance He finally adourned court 'for two minutes and a half until I lick Chamberlain'. He did the job up artistically and then quietly resumed the session of the court with a largely Increased" reputa tion for dispensing justice.

Miss Stone's Companion. Madame Tsilka. Miss Stone's companion in captivity was educated at the Northfield Seminary. At the time of receiving her American training and education she was Miss Stephanora, a Bulgarian. Having been converted in childhood to the Christian belief she came to America after having refused to marry the man of her parents' choosing. Dr. Dwight L. Moody, becomirg interestel in her welfare, fouud a place for her In his noted school. Having finished her training at that institution she became a trained nurse. While engaged in her professional duties in the Adirondacks, she became acquainted with Mr. Tsilka, a Macedonian, who had also been educated in the United States. At that period he was preparing for work as a medical missionary. Soon after the completion of their training the couple were married and went to Bulgaria, where they at once entered on missionary work. Miss Stone is one of the missionaries of the American Board of Foreign Missions. She has been attached to the Salonica mission since 1878. She was born at Roxbury, Mass.. where her mother resides. Four of Miss Stone's brothers are in business in Boston.

KWu Will Come to Indiana. Congressman Landis has extended to Minister Wu a pressing invitation to come to Indiana to spend several days or weeks, according to his convenience. In delivering this invitation Landis made a little speech in whic'i he said .to Wu, in substance, that he has seen the great cities and distinguished people of the United States, he has rubbed against pomp and wealth and now he should come to the Ninth congressional district of Indiana and mingle with "the real people the bone and sinew of the nation the people of the farms and small towns." Wu was pleased with the invitation and Landis thinks he will accept. Spanked Woman Wants $2.000. Mrs. Josephine Whetsel, who rents a farm of Chauney Waterhouse of Dekalo county, has sued her landlord for $2,000 damages, the specific charge being that lie spanked her with a piece of board The trouble occurred .last summer when Waterhouse and his son went to the farm to gather some potatoes. There was a dispute with the woman, who carried a piece of board, and w hen the elder Waterhouse stooped over to pull some vines he applied the board. She charges that the son held her, while his father spanked her vigorously with her own weapon, injuring her and causing her great humiliation. A Just Observation. Elkhart Truth: Street salutations are among the most pleasant of polite amenities. While it is not necessary to start down the street with head inged and constantly bowing," even that is preferable to the frigid, faraway look adopted by the gilded aristocrat. A friendly nod, and a genial face are indications of a kindly, sympathetic nature. Icebergs do not reflect sunhin$, although they glitter, nor will a cold, hard-hearted persons attract friends or supporters. It is always well to remember that a pleasant smile is the most winning of nature's attributes, and he who wears it will never want for prosperity. island is Sinking. Prof. William E. Ritter, of the university of California, his made the discovery that Santa Catalina island, the famous pleasure resort, is slowly sinking into the Pacific ocean. While drecging for marine animals on the coast of the island he found positive evidence in rocks and shell fish that the islands beach had once extended three-quarters of a mile from the present low tide limit, He estimates that the island is now 270 feet lower than it was formerly. This movement is apparently going on now, while the main land coast opposite Catalina is slowly vising. Heinz Vinegar Factory. A special from Laporte says: The Heinz Pickle company, of Pittsburg, has determined upon the establishment of a monster vinegar factory at Holland, Mich., or An this citv. Laporte is viewed with special favor on account of-the location here of a large pickle plant. If the in dustry comes to this city large bi ild ings will be erected near the eoirpany's present plant and employment will be given to a number of men.
