Plymouth, Ind., February 27, 1902. Oh for a Judge Capron, exclaims the Laporte Herald, to bring the bunglers of this citv to their senses! It is now high time for the senator from South Carolina to hand in their resignations again real ones this time. Bryan hates to part with his old friend. In a recent address in Michi pan he said: "If the silver question is dead, why be afraid of a corpse? If there is enough life lett in it to scare a gold bug, there is enough life in it to be. saved. '? This would infer that the great apostle of free silver is going to try and revive the sleeping thing, and that he still clings to tha loug ago exploded idea that gold is afraid of silver. He might as well ac cept the plain fact that there is no breath whatever, no pulse, no heart beat in the old silver corpse and the lest thing he can do is to burv it out of his sight. South Bend Tribune. t4If we can export tin plates to Wales, cottons to England, silks to France and coals to Newcastle, why need we a protective tariff?" is a question which is asked in free-trade papers with the air that it is a poser. We are not doing the exporting alluded to to any marked extern, and if we were it would not change the conditions. We arc after trade, and want more than we have. Such being the case, it would be unwise to leave the hest trad, in he world to be raided by competitors simply because we are able to break into other countries and get a little of their trade. The more valuable the soil and its products the sakr the fences should be made. The leading editorial in theMartinsvil'e Democrat of last week is devoted ta dispassionate discussion of the ill-advised and fool i si- tech of Congressman Wheeler i denunciation and ridicule of I'rince Ilenrv. The editor of The Iem(crat, Major Go rge K. Finney, is one of tht.se wellbalanced men who never go off halfcocked and wh always thinks twice before talking. He deprecates the b-jorishnos of "Wheeler's speech and proceeds to state in his apt way what j

is due to a distinguished personage . For the dignity of the body itself and from a foreign land visiting this great of each member thereof, for the dh'country. Maj.r Finney s article on nity of the country before the world,

t':is subject rairly biistles with true- j blue American ideas and reflects great credit upon its author. It will not be c.pied in the Plymouth Independent. Speaking of the unanimous renominationof Judge Crumpacker, in the tenth district, that veteran journalist, Ci.as. G. Powell, "says in the Laporte j republican: The continuing of Schuyler Colfax in congress for fourteen years gave him a national fame. He served six years of that time as speaker and at the close was chosen vice president and filled the office with distinguished ability for one term and no doubt would have been re-elected to that office the second time had he not de clined to run again. To this John P.. S roll replied that thelenomination of Mr. Colftrx "was prevented by a combination of circumstances created by politicians who were envious-of his prominence and apprehensive that he might reach the highest position in the gift of tbe nation.'. The older republicans in this ctunty recall their disappointment wnen Colfax withdrewor the, reason given by Mr. Stoll. THE AWFUL TILLMAN. In tbe United States senate a few months ago "Pitchfork" Tillman dra matically charged that his colleague, Senator McLaurin, had been induced to vote for the, confirmation of the treaty of Paris by the promise of con trolofthe federal patronage in his state, a charge so . absurd and un reasonable on its face that little attention was paid to it. .senator McLaurin, however, at a proper time and in a dignified manner, refuted the assertion. Saturday, in the course of a rambling farrago of nonsensical in vective against the Philippine bill, the South Carolina swashbuckle r turned loose again and in a most c'vTensive manner repeated the accusation his colleague had denied. McLaurin, thus goaded beyond endurance, took his place on the Moor of the senate and branded the statement as a willful, deliberate and n ahcious lie. Tillman flew at his opponent like an angry brute and struck him in the face, snarling like a cur and threshing the air with his blows aimed ?.t the other senator. McLaurin struck back and landed one on Tillman's nose, drawing blood, anJ then grappled with the madman until the segeant-at-arms could reich the spot and perform his duty, one that that official had been

called upon to perform but twice before in more than a century. Tillman refused to recognize authority and struck the officer before he was subdued. This occurrence on the floor of the

United States senate, the most pow erful and dignified legislative body on earth, while in full session, in the presence of crowded and amazed gal leries, was the subject of our Sunday reading in this year of grace, the sec ond of the twentieth century. There was once a personal encounter in the senate between Senators Benton and Foote and at a later period Preston S. Brook, a memter of the house from South Carolina, sneaked up to Sena tor Sumner at his seat in the senate and dealt him a murderous blow with a club. On both occasions the country was shocked at so gross a vioiation of every sense of decorum and common decency, but they occurred at times of special heat, when passion ran high and men-were, less restrained than now and when duels, Mreet fights and disgraceful brawls were more common At this time and in this affair there is no shadow of excuse for the noisy braggart from South Carolina, no shred of palliation for his outrage upon the whole country in breaking the peace of our national legislature. Tillman, "Pitchfork" Tillman, who is he that he should be longer tolerated in any civilized community? Ever a low brawler in politics, totally lack ing, apparently, in personal dignity and respect for law, a professional fire-eater and boasting busybody, his best known title was conferred upon him as a brand of contempt and he wears it like a ragged swashbuckler unconscious of his ignominy. Always the aggressor, as in this final out burst, he has but transferred to the floor of the senate the methods that he used to bring disgrace upon his own state. If McLaurin is blamable, as he surely is for dignifying with his notice anything his colleague might say, it is to be remembered that h? has been tantalized and annoyed be yond limit by the unprecedented an tics of the Tillman fellow, and that this latest aggravation is but one of a great many he has beer, compelled to suffer at the hands of his enemv. He was seemingly as dignified as human nature and the circumstances would permit. The offense is far more serious than Tillman is capable of conceiving and he senate has before it the single duty of thrusting him out as one who bv his presence contaminates riVrent men. Dem xrratic members cannot afford for mere political reasons to condone a crime so great and to have the record show that a list tight in the J senate is a perfectly safe proceeding for one who may be in the majority punishment swift and complete should be measuied out to the infamous Tillman. THE POINT OF COMPLAINT. Wherein is the point of complaint that the thirteenth district is to hoid an early republican convention? Already several districts have held their conventions for nomination of conigressmen. ana no one found any fault ' 1 l-v i , 11 'uu 11. ui inn ere ueiu sev eral weeks ago, and some last week and others this. The thirteenth district convention comes next week. There is nothing unusual or irregular, and only captious fault-finders find anything out of the way in it. Elkhart Review, There is no complaint that the con vention is too early, but that insuf ficient notice was given. The dis tinction is well understood bv most republicans. ' Short Temperance Sermon. "W . .every ume mere is a row over whisky, whisky prospers. That is the great objection to prohibition it ad vertises whisky and causes thousands of people to drink it who would otherwise leave the stuff alone. Give every man who drinks whisky to understand that he is regarded as a weak fool. Don't baby him. When he gets drunk slap him in jail and disgrace him. There is no excuse for intoxication. It is an artificial habit. It is related to the idiotic habit of sowing wild oats, and there is a species of - silly charity for it that encourages fools. Withdraw the charity. Hold every drunkard responsible. Arrest the drunkard instead of the whisky seller. There is some excuse for the man who sells whisky; he at least, has the excuse of receiving a big profit, but there is no excuse for the fool who pays a high price for that which does him harm. Atchison Globe. Words to the Wise. Ye of little faith in advertising should read the following and think a little: A Chicago department store has just closed a contract for a page advertisement a day for an entire year. The amount of money involved is about $120,000. The contract is one of the largest ever placed in this country. John Wanamaker, of New York and Philadelphia, was the first merchant to take a page of space for a year. At tne present time he has half a dozen such pages running in different New York and Philadelphia papers.

SPOKEN BY ONE OF US

Editor DavidionV Tribute to the (luence of Journalism. In "Influecce of Journalism on Char acter Building" was tbe topic of an address delivered by William David son, editor of the Burlingtonllawkeye, at the recent Iowa conference on Religious Education held in Iowa City. In the course of his remarks, he said : "It is the country press that has ruined the 'gold brick trade and the fake lightning rod industry, and that has kept Tammany methods out of rural politics. Journalism is con stantly setting before its generation the examples of great men. It spread? among mar kind the seeds of the rip est minds, and the fruition of the nob lest characters. "No epic that has ever been written can equal in sublime and uplifting beauty the story which the American press gave to the world of the tragedy of President .McKinley. The finest writers in the land lingered at the threshold of that gloom-enshrouded home and sent hurrving out into everv corner of the globe eloquent and thrilling stories of the ebbing of that beautiful life. Men in distant states. in far off climes,, read the sweet, sad messages while tears crept down their cheeks. "Tell me not that a power which can so graphically transmit the sorrow of a nation to the hearts of every individual within its sway is not a force for good! It is an inspiration for Christ-like ideals; it is an influence for high and noble inspirations. "It is the crowning light of modern intelligence, virtue and statesmanship. I unfurl its banner from the outer wall, and in the name of liberty, truth and justice, I bid you look upon the champion of human progress journalism." Linkvillc Items. Mr. John Wivelv left for the Bend ast week. There has been quite a change in the weather to what it was two weeks ago. The A. O. O., had a large attend ance at their meeting lastFridav even ing. Johnny Arnold has another new horse: it seems John can't find anv. thing to suit him. Wm. Bidinger, who has lived in this neighborhood for some time, has moved to Plymouth. Some .parties arc opening their camp, and getting prepared for a 3arg2 run of maple sap. Oda Bight went to South Bend last weeK to find w ork but came hi ck, say ing 1.0 work to be found. Albert Masenn, of thi: place, has been on the sick list for the last fewday, he says it being, an old trouble, rheumatism. William ScofieM lost a fine shepherd dog lastSundav night. He valued the dog at .:). it b-inga large sum for a dog but lie was a splendid one. -Mr. Iiert and Melvin Ilidgeway who are cutting wood for Mr. Heck have a new rfg-for driving back and forth to their work, but as the snow is going off they now have to walk. A certain paity only paid fifty cents a bushel for corn here and it was worth sixty in Plymouth. Some pec pie want thinzs for half what you can get any place else and then not satisfied. While a crowd of merry makers were out sleighing Friday r evening the horses became frightened and upset the load, and ran about a mile when a man happened along and stopped them. No one was hurt, but one of the lad'es was so badly frightened that she did not want to ride back for fear she would get killed, ' but finally consented to ride. So boys, it is best always to hire a driver. Demand for Laboring Men. There never was a timo within the memory of the oldest inhabitant, at least, that there was such a demand for laboring men as now. . The farmers, manufacturers, the railroads, and indeed all other industrial affairs are calling loud and long for additional help. These things ar reminders of the fact that the republican party is now at the- helm and has charge of all departments of the government. This same old party that has practically been in power for over forty years has made this country the richest, grandest and best country in the world. Laporte Republican. An Indiana Woman. The Washington correspondents all agree that Mrs. Fairbanks has demonstrated during the sessions of the congress of the D. A; R. that she possesses remarkable ability as a presiding oftlcer. She has a thorough knowledge of parliamentary law and she knows how to exercise it effectively and with justice to all. She never loses her self-possession and while a smile is' noticed almost continuously about her lips and she is always court eous, nevertheless she rules with a firm hand.

GEORGE'S BIRTHDAY

How it Was Observed by the Ladies of the Satudary Club. The Saturday Club celebrated Washington's birthday with their annual "tea." At early candle-light might have been seen several colonial dames wending their way toward the home of Mistress Underwood, there to reveal powdered hair and patches, caps and neckerchieves two clever ladies even adopting the ancient polonaise. IVas rumored that George himself had been expected but owing to his increase in weight, the good man had not been able to find a walstct of sufficient size but no! spare his feel ings. Our hostess w ith kindly forethought had placed his portrait in an honored position where he might gaze placidly down upon us and be the inspiration of our meeting. The patriotic decor ations were most artistically arranged and everything done according to the appropriateness of the occasion. Each lady was adorned with a tiny flag, to which was tied the proverbial hatchet, in miniature, (of course we believe that hatchet story!) As we gathered about the tables many pleasant surprises were in store for us. Blue revolutionary hats with the monogram "S. C." in the center, were the dainty menu cards painted by Mrs. Oglesbee and her son ITaioid. The repast needs no comment. It speaks for itself as follows: Oyster cock-tail Olives Celery Waters - " Chicken pie Deviled Eggs Potato Sdiad Hot Bolls White Bread Brown Bread Tutti Frutti Devils Food White Cake Coffee Xuts While progressing through this deectable list of eatables, a game called "A Carnival of Authors'' was intro duced and kept us busy guessing such questions as "If you had burned vour finger what trio of authors wculd ex press your exclamation? Answer "Dickens, Howett, Burns." The menu concluded we listened to a paper on George Washington. This I might well feem a thread-bare sub ject, but it was handled by Mrs. Ida Smith with such ease and grace as to he of great pleasure and interest to her hearers. The souvenirs were presented by our president. Mrs. P:va Underwood, and will.be something carefully treasured by all members of the Saturday Club. They were booklets, tied with red. whit-j and blue riblons, containing five excellent pictures, in order: teorge Washington, Martha Washington. Washington's Home,' Mt. Vernon, Washington Crossing the Dela ware. Washington ' Elm at bridge. Tiiis formed the order of w hich were cleverly responded 'Cämtoasts to ly the following ladies: Mrs. Julia Dlain. Mrs. Can ie Tanner, Mrs. Mary L Thayer. Mis Alice Kllnger, Mrs. Eva Main. Mrs. Jilson read a very appropriate poem lv Augusta Prescott. two verses of w hich conclude this article. The different committees who had worked so faithfully to make this "tea" the great success it was, were also voted unanimous thanks arid w ith that the jormal program closed. Mrs. Drummond favored us with a tine instrumental selection. The rest of the evening was spent In cha'rades. Our heads were white, "but not with years," and we had a royal good time. Gathered around the piano, at the last we sang with loyal hearts, "My Country 'tis of Thee." The name of-Washington will long be loved and honored and when women do homage to his worth will ever be associated the name of his noble wife. "Martha Custis Washington. Back from the shadows come And tell us the ways of those glad old days. The songs we have left unsung. Show us your home the tender side A guest to your fireside take, And tell us about that happiest hour Over the birthday cake." Repokter The Newspapers. It is a fault, if any can be found, that business men seldom read a newspaper all the way through. And yet it is true that the newspaper carries with it a weight that Is undeniable, and appreciable on all occasions. The newspaper is a moulder of public thought and opinion oh ad occasions. It is for this reason that It is read and considered by every man whose consideration is worth anything. Press and Printer. Cheap Rates on U Vandalia Line.
