Ireland continues to lose population by emigration, and four-fifths of those who leave come to the United States. It is no exaggeration to say that this country contains more Irish blood than Ireland itself. Boers and British have been fighting long enough to discover that neither side will get all it expected at the start. Negotiations would be sensible and the world would welcome the end of guerrilla bloodshed. Tha president of the Bank of England says that, owing to the closing of the South African mines during the last two and a half years, the world's supply of gold is forty millions less than if there had been no war. Special dispatches from Havana say the conviction of the postal embezzlers caused no surprise there, and that the evidence was so strong against them that any other verdict than guilty would have caused protest and indignation all over the island. Before President Roosevelt "went for" the railroads about violations of law he was charged with favoritism and cowardice; now that he has insisted upon the railroad companies obeying the laws he is charged with indiscretion and injudiciousness. It seems that under the laws of Tuba 2seely, Bathbone and Beeves will not have the option of bail, but will have to remain in prison until the supreme court decides the case appealed. The laws of Cuba indicate that the men who made them possessed honesty and common sense. It is good news that the President proposes to examine, with closest scrutiny, all bills removing the charge of desertion from men that served in the civil war. If men were wrongfully charged with desertion, it is hardly likely that they would wait nearly forty years before seeking to have the record corrected.

It is reported that the democrats and populists of Nebraska under the leadership and advice of Mj. Bryan are preparing to fuse again. In that event the pops will walk the demies, down the middle of the road in captivity and chains just as they have in past years. While the matter is under consideration it is worth while to note that the increase of the world's sugar crop from 1,150,000 tons in 1840 to 8,800,000 in 1900, by which a luxury has be sn made an article of necessity, is due to the protection of beet sugar cultivation by inhibitory tariffs and bounties in Fiance and Germany. Representative Bellamy, of North Carolina is afraid Congressman Crumpacker's resolution will stir up sectional strife. If the resolution is right, let it stir up sectional strife. Anything is better than deception, lawlessness and dishonor. The people want what is right, cost what it will. Right is always cheapest in the end. It would be a good thing if the word "scoundrel" could by authority of law be indelibly stamped upon the forehead of a public official who solicits and accepts a bribe to control his action. Base and re:reant officials who are guilty of such infamous conduct ought to be branded so as to be known and despised for their perfidy wherever they may go. South Bend Times. The best record for new railroad construction in one vear in this country was made in 1888, when 7,100 miles of track were laid. A compilation of official figures just made by the Railway Age shows that 7,894 miles of new railroad are already under contract or actually under construction, while there are in addition 3,700 miles on which it is probable work will commence this spring. Former Representative Lewis, of Washington, who is now at the national capital, says he is not coming back to congress again because there is no chance for a democrat to be elected in his district.

Gen. Elwell S. Otis, who has been recently placed on the army retired list, is a sensible man. He says he will not lecture, he will not travel, he will not write a book. He has been 40 years in - active service and he wants to enjoy the- leisure that comes to him in his old age. His home will be In Rochester, N. Y.
And now comes Wyoming with a wanton and unjustifiable lynching. The victim was in jail, convicted and sentenced to death. A stay of execution was ordered by the supreme court until an appeal could be considered. This mob Jsaid that justice was "too slow." When considered in the abstract, free from passion, all men admit that appeals are right and proper. It is only when the brute is ascendant that they lecome obstacles to justice. Many persons are expressing sympathy for John D. Rockefeller because he has lost his hair and his bead is as bare as a billiard ball. Nature is no respecter of persons and all his wealth, all bis donations to educational institutions, all his social influence is powerless to restore one hair. When Rockfeller dies he will die just like other people and be will not be regarded in the other life for his wealth in this life, because a bank account cannot be utilized in the spirit realm. Cuba's new President pays a glowing tribute to this country for the part it took in securingCuban freedom and continues: Some countries would have sought some pretext for selfish gain in undertaking a work of this character, and taken advantage of some technicality for their own aggrandizement, but the contrary spirit has been manifested by the United States, and it has given to the world an evidence of good will seldom found. The people of the United States have remembered their own Declaration ot Independence, and have fulfilled a dutv to mankind. The country knows nothing about Walter Christmas, who makes charges of bribery against members of congress and the press in connection with the Danish West Indies to the United States, but the matter calls for prompt and thorough investigation. Although the charges and the alleged secret reported by Christmas to the Danish government have very much the appearance of a sensational scandal, the speaker of the house was right in holding Mr. Richardson's resolution one of high privilege and in appointing a committee to investigate the matter.

Secretary Root has made public his order to General Wood directing him to turn over the control and government of Cuba to its people on May 20 next. The orders requires the Cuban government to assume all treaty obligations aad directs General Wood to continue a small artillery force to avoid leaving the island entirely defenseless, until the Cuban government shall have opportunity to organize its own force. General Wood also is directed to convene the Cuban congress before May 20. He is also directed to consult with President-elect Palma and substitute such persons as he shall desire for those now holding official positions in Cuba.
POLITICAL CRIMINALS. There is a good deal of sarcasm, unconscious perhaps, in the reports that come from various parts of the country of surprise at the sentences that Neely, Rathbone and Reeves received. People are astonished that there were not at least degrees of guilt and that somebody was not entirely let off. Had these men pilfered from the Pennsylvania railroad or the United States Steel Company, as they did from the postal service, there would have been no surprise that they should be fined and imprisoned. We have in our own state a gentleman of previously good character serving a sentence for pilfering from a bank. And similar cases are occurring all the time, But without confessing it, we really seem to have got into an attitude of mind and conscience that when a crime is political and dene by a spoilsman, and is loaded on the public, the end is to be nothing. If the criminal is hald for a long while and much money is spent arguing his case and appealing it and pettifogging back and forth, and the case is ended finally by a nolle prosequi, no one is surprised. We shrug our shoulders in a good-natured wav and have something to say about good fellows, and so forth and so on. And we may not have got to the end of this Neelv-Rathbor e-Reeves business yet. There may be another chapter, showing that there has been thunder in the index, Let us hope that it will not be so. Indianapolis News. Miss Mary Burkhart, of Wolfe county, Kentucky, has announced herself as a candidate tor congress in the Tenth distiict and declares her purpose to make a house-to-house, canvass.

CAREER OF CECIL RHODES
Not 50 Years Old at Death, But Rated at $75,000.000 in Wealth. Cecil Rhodes was born in Hertfordshire, England, July 7, 1853, and never married, nis father was Rev. Francis William Rhodes, an English church clergyman. He was educated at Oxford University for the church, was graduated in 1873, and received the degree of doctor of civil law in 1899. He went to South Africa on account of ill health in 1874; worked on a cotton plantation; became a miner at the Kimberly diamond' fields; got control of the De Beers diamond mines; formed the British South Africa company in 1899 and obtained a royal charter under which the company governea 251,000 square miles of territory, subsequently known as Rhodesia. He planned the railway from the Cape of Good Hope to Cairo. His wealth is estimated at $75,000,000, acquired in twenty-nine years. He was owner of diamond mines, vast tracts of land, ranches, cattle, and corporate enterprises. He was the ruling spirit in the extension of British influence in South Africa, and leader of the party aiming at a federation of the South African states. Cecil Rhodes was perhaps the one man of his time whose enormous energy, invincible will, magnificent schemes and splendid achievements justified the appellation "Colossus." He was a oreat reasoner, a great constructor. He was a dreamer of great dreams and a doer of great deeds to make his dreams realities. The Man Behind The Machine. One does not have to be an engineer to see that the phenomenal record of the Oregon, from beginning to end, was due to the skill and unremitting care of the chief engineer; and yet it is highly probable that very few Americans know his name. It is but simple justice to this officer Chief Engineer Robert W. Milligan that his name should stand high on the roll of the men who rendered distinguished service to their country during the Spanish war. For the Oregon 's performance her builders deserve great praise. No amount of skill would have enabled such a record to be made unless the machinery had been well constructed. But those who know the facts of Milligan 's remarkable zeal, skill and far sighted intelligence understand that the results are due to him in an unusual degree.

Postage and Freight Rates. "I believe, " said Judge Grosscup, in issuing the temporary order forbidding six leading Western railways to cut rates or grant rebates, "that railway rates ought to be as stable as postage rates, so that every shipper would know, as certainly as the sender of a letter, how much the shipment will cost, and the fact that no one could send it for less." Judge Grosscup here expressed an ideal which every intelligent man of experience must approve unless his judgment is warped by hope of personal gain. From failure to realize this ideal of equality and stability there have arisen probably nine-tenths of the public agitation and harassing legislation against railways. Transportation, while not a personal necessity in the development of civilization has become an industrial and commercial necessity. Those who need it and they are practically the whole manufacturing and agricultural population have no option to take or leave it. Directly or indirectly they must have it. Aud since their necessity is equal in nature they properly and instinctively demand that this equality be recognized by those whom they have chartered to perform for them this seryice. Failing to obtain this justice from the railways, they have gone about to compel it. That their methods have often been mistaken does not alter the justice of their demand. Inter Ocean. The Wheat Crop. The past week has been very favorable to the growing wjioat crop in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. In Indiana the wheat is coming out as well as was expected but the prospects are not so good as last year. In Missouri. Nebraska and Iowa the condition of the wheat is good; in Kansas and the Southwest the weather conditions have been more favorable, but considerable damage has alreadv been done by the drought. Over a wide area of the wheat region there is continued reference to the fact that while recent rains have afforded moistnre to the surface soil, the subsoil is still unusually dry, suggesting that the plant will be to that extent especially susceptible to damage by future dry weather should it prevail. Plymouth Interestrd. Elkhart capitalists are preparing to build an electric line from Elkhart to Nappanee this summer. This line will be extended south west and Plymouth may be its western terminus if our citizens are as enterprising as they ought to be.

Our Work For Cuba. i In 1854 it was proposed at the Ostend conference that the United States pay Spain $120,000,000 for Cuba. Forty-four years later we entered upon a war to free Cuba which cost us $400,000,000. We compelled Spain to relinquish the sovereignty of the island. We took possession of forts, harbors and all public property We sent the gpanish soldiers home at our own expense. We paid the Cuban troops out of our own treasury. We rebuilt and extended railroads, constructed hundreds of miles of wagon roads, brought order out of revolutionary chaos, reorganized the government, protected the Cubans in all their rights, maintained an army in Cuba to preserve peace, and expended some millions of dollars in building up what Spaniards and Cubans had destroyed. After all this expenditure of money, after three and a half years of reconstruction work, the United States, on May 20, is to turn the island over, without money and without price, to the Cubans themselyes for local selfgovernment. No other nation ever did so much, spent so much, for a struggling, aspiring people, but if Cuba, under the protection of the United States, go forward with her people attached to free institutions and with her trade fostered by beneficent laws, then the money will have been well used.
