Metsker Buys the Plant for $10,000. Consternation Among Old Line Democrat.

The Plymouth Democrat will cease to exist, except in name, after this week. Hon. Clay W. Metsker who voted with the railroad corporations to kill Senator Agnew's Calumet ship canal bill, has purchased the plant for $10,000. No wonder the labor organtions have jt in for the lobbyists who succeeded in convincing legislators that it was their duty to vote in the interest of the railroads. But this is, perhaps, of less importance here than the fact that there will no longer be a democrat paper in Marshall county. Think of it! Old rockribbed democratic Marshall county without a democratic organ! Mr. Metsker has declared time and again that his paper is not a democratic organ, and we understand that he still intends to publish the "Daily Independent." And Daniel McDonald has sold the Plymouth Democrat to Metsker, the man whom the Democrat denounces as unfit to represent the democrats of Marshall county. It would seem that the old presses which have so often been used to denounce Metsker, would refuse to work and the type would blush when Metsker attempts to print the Democrat. But the old line democrats will not stand it. There is already a movement on foot to launch a genuine democratic paper and there will be fun in Marshall county before the snow flies next fall.

The March report of the government agricultural bureau shows the smallest reserve of corn and oats on record.

Hon. John D. Long has resigned as secretary of the navy and Congressman W. H. Moody, of Massachusetts, has been appointed his successor.

The American tour of Prince Henry was closed with a public reception at Philadelphia Monday evening and he has sailed for Germany on the Deutschland.

Congressman "Wheeler is badly cut up by a venerable Kentuckian's gift of peach brandy to Prince Henry. This is the supreme compliment in Kentucky and several notches ahead of the freedom of the state.

Nicaragua and Colombia are trying to strike Uncle Sam for concessions and mark their price for a canal route up or down according to circumstances. Their visions of wealth beyond the dreams of avarice will be curbed in due time.

A dispatch from Shanghai says Russia is preparing to begin war with Japan. The war in South Africa has cost Great Britain nearly a billion dollars, and it may cost her as much more before everything is fixed up. , It will take the gold mines a long time to repay the cost of war.

Oregon, California and "Washington have 317,420 square miles of territory, but. contain only 2,416,692 people, while the little state of Massachusetts coritaininga population of 2,805,246 has only 8,040 square miles.

The Indianapolis labor unions are making a vigorous fight against the candidacy of Charles "W. Miller for attorney-general. They accuse him of lobbying against measures indorsed by the labor organizations in the last legislature.

The rumors of war between Japan and Russia in Manchuria still come to hand, but the chances for any such conflict have been diminished by the alliance between the former country and England. Russia is going to steer clear of a war which would put England and Japan against her.

The New York Chamber of Commerce, by a unanimous vote, has adopted a resolution, indorsing the bill to maintain silver dollars at parity with gold and urging Congress to pass it. The sense of the chamber was expressed by a speaker who declared that the way to maintain a gold standard and gold payments at all times is to declare openly and frankly that every dollar of circulation issued by the government shall at the will of the holder be redeemable at all times with a gold dollar."

The United States supreme court has decided the Illinois anti-trust law unconstitutional, because it creates a favored class by exempting agriculturists from penalty. The decision nullifies anti-trust laws of several other states for the same reason.

In Chicago Republican primaries have nominated all but one of the aldermen approved by the Municipal Voters' League, some very bad men being rejected at the open primary elections. On the other hand, most of the Democratic candidates have been found to be unfit in their records for re-election. It is usually about that way.

The Goshen Democrat, in remarking that Elkhart county democrats had no use for Senator Tillman, says that during the last presidential campaign Tillman was booked for a speech at Goshen, but the county committee unanimously wired the state committee to cancel the assignment.

FUNSTON HITS HARD. "I am one of those men who is for his country, right or wrong; but this time, thank God, my country is in the right. It makes no difference how much it costs, how manv lives it means. - "We must go on till every rod of land in the Philippines acknowledges the sovereignty of the Stars and Stripes. Then and not till then we will fight out among ourselves the proper disposition of the islands. "Gentlemen, some time ago two poor fellows, colored soldiers of the Ninth cavalry, deserted and went over to the enemy. They were caught and hanged. It would be eminently more just take this as you like, for I mean every word I say if some of those alleged Americans who have lately signed a petition to congress asking for a conference with the Filipino leaders still in the field, were hanged and their memory forever execrated by the American people." In these words General Frederick Funston, facing 400 members of the Marquette Club at a banquet in his honor in Chicago Tuesday night, declared his position on the attitude of the government toward the Philippines and denounced the men who have been at the head of the agitation for the abandonment of the islands.

Speaker Henderson was a long time coming around to the support of the administration on the Cuban relief question, but when he did come he came in his usual emphatic way.

The defeat and capture of Lord Methuen, lieutenant general of the British army, in a pitched battle by the Boers, will have a tendency to prolong the war in South Afri, if England does not offer better teams for peace. . General Zano, a Filipino millionaire, is reported to have offered $500,000 each to the Americaa army officers who will marry his daughters. Why does the general limit the offer to Americans. Let him open it to titled Europeans and his daughters will go like hot cakes.

Rural free delivery has almcst as much of a hold on the senate as on the house. The overwhelming vote by which Representative Loud's proposal

to put the service under contract system was defeated, indicates that the present method of employing carriers is here to stay. The contract provision did not get a vote from Indiana.

Cornelius Van Ness, a New York millionaire, 80 years old, was baptized in the river of Jordan last week, by Rev. "William K. Hall of Newburgh, N. Y. Mr. and Mrs. Van Ness made the trip to theOrient to gratify the old man's desire for years to be baptized in the Jordan.

The third caucus of the house of representatives on Cuban, reciprocity was held Tuesday night and adjourned until next Tuesday without action. The beet sugar men and the other opponents of Cuban reciprocity forced a vote and were defeated. This seems to mean a victory for the administration. There is much bitterness between the contending forces, but concessions will probably be made and an agreement reached next week.

Washington specials says the name of Senator Clark, of Montana, is being pushed in "Washington for chairman of the democratic national committee, not because he has any aptness for such a task, but because he is many times a millionaire and is willing to pay liberally for any honors. He is the richest man in the senate, and he is valued for nothing else in "Washington than his millions, yet demagogues and democrats who have been denouncing plutocracy and the use of money in campaigns are eager to put him at the head of the committee to manage the next campaign for the obvious reason that he will furnish the funds.

Governor Taft does not profess to be a prophet,but his deliberately expressed opinion that in eighteen months or two years at the most a permanent civil government can be established in all the Philippine islands is entitled to great weight, A special from London says the growing menace of Ireland and Irish sympathy and influence throughout the world is now causing greater disquiet at headquarters ot the British government than any other aspect of the South African war situation.

The Indianapolis Sentinel says that the declination of Harry New has not been accepted by President Rooseelt, and Mr. New will be given more time to consider the matter with the understanding that the the acceptance of the position of first assistant may lead

up to a seat in the cabinet as post-1

master general.

The United States supreme court decision on the Illinois anti trust law, in effect declares unconstitutional the anti-trust laws of Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan. Mississippi, Montana,1; Nebraska, North Carolina. South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and "Wisconsin. In each of these states there is an exemption in favor of live stock and agricultural products in the hands of the raiser or producer, or' of labor organizations. Under the rulings of the court an anti-trust law, to be constitutional, must apply indiscriminately to all

combinations, with no exemptions or exceptions whatever.

Senator A. J. Beveridge of Indiana, in the debate on the Philippine tariff bill with Senators Carmack of Tennessee, Culberson of Texas, Tillman of South Carolina and Teller of Colorado, all democrats, gave them some convincing reasons,for their party defeats and good adyice as to future policies before they can hope to win. In the course of the debate he said: "Since the senator from Tennessee has gone into the question as to why his party was defeated, as to why the people have given verdict after verdict against his party, let me suggest that he abandon the war cry of American retreat. Let me suggest a plank for his platform: Quit assailing the courts. Quit assailing American troops. Quit sympathizing with those who are firing upon the American flag. Stand by the courts. Stand by the boys on the nation's firing line. Rally around the flag of your country, and sec what will be the effect of that policy of patriotism."

Mica Axle Grease has become known on account of its good qualities. We handle Mica because our customers want the best made grease they can obtain for their money. Mica is the best because it is made especially to reduce friction, and frictica is the greatest destroyer of axles and axle boxes. It is becoming a common saying that "only one-half as much Mica is required for satisfactory lubrication as of any other axle grease," so that Mica is not only the best axie grease on the market but the most economical as well.
