It is no wonder that Pension Commissioner Evans wants to relinquish a position that has been such a constant annoyance to him, yet there is no hope for any different experience for the man that is to follow him.

The Rochester Sentinel says Elmer Crockett has been in Washington several days trying to get some more appointments for South Brad and Elkhart people: We do not know where the Sentinel got its information, but Crockett usually succeeds when he starts out to get appointments. It is authoritatively announced that President Roosevelt will not interfere with the sentence imposed by the Cuban ccurt on Seely, Rathbone and Reeves. Senor Palma, when inaugurated presiOent, may exercise the pardoning power, but if he does, it will not be at tho request of this government. The election in Chicago Tuesday, resulted as rsual. The worst ,of the "grey wolves" were elected in the "bum" wards. The republicans have a majority of six aldermen, and a majority of decent men were elected by both parties so that the city ought to have reasonablyCgood government for the next two years. Gen.Fitzhugh Lee has one qualification for the position of United States minister to Cuba that no other person mentioned for the place possesses in that he speaks theSrjanish language fluently. . Should he accept that office, however, he would have to surrender for the time being his salary as brigadier general on the retired list. The "trick ballot" which was put off on the colored men in the black counties in Maryland by the democrats last fall has been defeated by being made a feature of the election bill which was voted down by a combination of republicans and anti-Gorman democrats. Trick ballots like snap conventions do their authors more harm than good. The annual excise report just issusd in New York shows that liquor paid the Empire state for the year ended Sept. 30, rj01fthe magnificent sum of S12,467;674.40 Alter all fees for collection of the tax were deducted, the net revenue from this source exceeded $12,415,000 It would teem from this that there are many oeople in New York state vho have yet to learn that water ranks high as a beverage. Assistant Secretary Spaulding, of the treasury department, has announced that hereafter, in the case of Americans goingabroad and taking sundry articles with them, the rule will be that "personal effects may be examined by accustoms officer before leaving, an itemized . descriptive schedule prepared, and then, on the return of the person, the goods will be exempt from duty, provided they tally with the list." The evangelical churches of the east have combined in a manifesto warning all people against encroachments of the Mormon church upon the religious field of this country. It jdeclares the Mormon faith to be not only opposed to orthodox belief but to be dangerousto the youth of the land, a menace, really, to the nation and something that needs the attention of not only the Christian element but the civil authorities as well. Former United States Attorney General W. II. Miller, of Indianapolis, takes exception to the general outcry that public officials are not paid enough and declares that the trouble is in the attempt of these officials to compete with millionaries in splendor in having balls, dinners and coaches .and flowers. lie declared further that he had accepted a public position at "Washington at much expense to himself and that the salaries were sufficient, but if he had not thought so he could have resigned at any mom-jnent.

Ben T. Cuble, the new manager, of the democratic party, supported Palmer in 1896 and sat quietly on the fence in 1900; therefore the Bryan wing of the party is unhappy.

The retirement of Senator Jones, of Arkansas, by the people of that state is attributed to the fact that, while posing as a public foe of monopolies.he was found to be a large stockholder in the round-bale cotton trust. The peopie will rebuke hypocrisy in politics every chasce they get. Eight times as much sugar is consumed in the wcrld now as was produced in 1840, and the percentage of beet sugar in the world's supply has increased from 5 per cent to 67. The history of beet sugar is a story of wonderful development in agriculture, chemistry and machinery. Cecil Rhodes wanted to be rich, and did make an immense fortune, but even his enemies must admit that iie only wanted money to promote his great schemes of empire. There is reason to believe the world will be astonished by his munificent gifts for the benefit of South Africa. Mr. Bryan announces through his paper that he will resist to the utmost the efforts to reorganize the democratic party. One of his objections is that the attempt would alienate voters. As far as that is concerned, all other proposed democratic policies would have the same result. One of the steamers that sailed from New York on Saturday had as passengers five young negroes educated at Booker T. Washington's Tuskegee school, who were going to the German colony in Western Africa to instruct the natives in cotton growing. This makes eight American negroes who have gone there in the employ of the German government. The new army appropriation bill contains a provision authorizing the secretary of war to order the reexamination of any officer on the retired list of the army who was retired for disability, and who, there is reason to believe, is physically qualified for active service. There are about 450 officers on the retired list, some of whom,- in addition to drawing retired officers' pay, are receiving large salaries for civil work. Under the new provision any retired officer who, upon re-examination by a board, is found physically competent can be ordered to active service. President Roosevelt, in a conference with a number of western congressmen plainly stated his opposition to some of the provisions of the irrigation bill now pending in the house. The president heartily approved ol the general purposes of the bill, but frankly stated that he could not approve the measure as it now stands. He is especially opposed to the section providing for state control of the appropriation, distribution and use of the water from the irrigation canals. The president believes that federal supervision is essential not only to success, but to fair and impartial distribution altogether removed from political or other considerations. Worthless Township Warrants. . Manson U. Johnson, of Anderson, is wanted at several points in Indiana on the charge of negotiating $50,000 in warrants that are being repudiated by banks. A warrant charging forgery has been sworn out at Tipton. The warrants are held by banks at Tipton, Peru, Muncie, Suromitville, Alexandria and Anderson. It is said that Johnson did considerable business in Kosiusko county, but we have not heard of his visiting Marshall county. . ThinX.of .This. Every time you send a dollar away for a. purchase that could have been made at home, you take a dollar from the channel that keeps your own community healthy in a financial 1 way. Every time you spend a dollar with a home merchant you have placed it where it may again reach your own pocket. Even if that dollar never again directly benefits you it will a fellow citixen and better the condition of a neighbor just that much, thus contributing to the good of the whole community. By all means spend the dollars at home: '.'.' Sentenced to Prison For Life. At Knox, Ind., last Saturday, the jury in the case of Henry Clement, who killed his sweetheart, Edith Davis, because she married another man. found him "guilty and fixed his punishment at life imprisonment. The case, was given to the jury Friday evening and they returned their verdict at 8 o'clock Saturday evening.

A New Republic May 20, 1902, by the flat of the United States government, a new name will be added to the list of the world's nations. When the United States, at the beginning of the war against Spain in 1898. promised to give Cuba to the Cubans as soon as Spain was driven out and the work of pacification and rehabilitation was completed, the rest of the nations were incredulous. Such' an instancee of national generosity was never recorded anywhere in the world's history, and therefore nobody outside of the United States supposed thkt this promise would be made good. There would be so many incentives for the United States to hold on to its charge after it freed that locality from oppression that the world supposed the temptation in our case could not be resisted. Moreover, the fact that the interests of civilization and progress would coincide with theUnited States' immediate material interests in this affair strengthened tLe world's belief that we would not attempt to resist the temptation. The proclamation which has just been issued by the secretary of war shows that the world was mistaken in its judgment. Seven weeks from next Tuesday United States authority ceases in Cuba and the republican government which that country recently framed will go into operation. The permission for the construction of that government was given by the United States, the day for the beginning of the work of construction was named by the authorities in Washington, but the actual work of the building of the government was done by by the Cuban people. Though the United States named the day for the work and outlined the machinery by which it was to be accomplished the citizens of the island itself performed it. The regime which goes into operation on May 20 is a government of the Cubans, by the Cubans and for the Cubans. Not the slightest particle of pressure was brought to bear on the islanders in forming their new political system, except that it should be republican, and the desires ..of the United States and the wishes of the Cubans, of course, coincided in this particular. As, too, was to be expected, the polity which has been constructed follows the American model as closely as the difference in conditions permits. The same Is true, indeed, of every republic which has been founded in the Western hemisphere. The United States freed Cuba at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars and of thousands of lives, gave the Cubans schools where schools had never existed before, stamped out the yellow fever plague, flashed the light of civilization across their centuries of darkness, stands sponsor for the independent government which it permitted them to. set up, and shows an example of national generosity and enlightenment unequaled in the world's annals. St Louis Globe Democrat.

Value of Intelligent Voting. There is nothing inherently sacred about dropping a slip of paper into a wooden box. Voting itself is valueless unless there is a definite, intelligent principle behind it all. When the citizen fails, though ignorance or stupidity or indifference, to preceivea real issue in the contest It can make no difference in the ultimate results whether he goes to the polls or remains at home. He will have contributed nothing but a meaningless bit of paper to the cause of popular sovereignty, and a meaningless slip of paper stuffed into a ballot box is no more potent for progress than a meaningless slip of paper stuffed into a garbage box.

MORTUARY

Mrs. William Frisinger. Narcissus (Wiley) Frisinger was born in Fayette County, Ohio, April 2, 1831, and died at her late home in Rutland, Ind., March 28, 1902. In 1850 she was united in marriage to William Frisinger in Mercer County, Ohio. To this union were born eleven children nine of whom, Mary J., Martha E., Robert W., Lewis B., Belle, William H., Della F., Emma F., and John H., with the aged husband, thirty-five grand children, five great-grand-children, two brothers and two sisters still survive. She was a kind consistent affectionate wife and mother always abundant in labor and sympathy for the poor, sick and distressed. She bore her long illness with fortitude and prayer fully awaited the end, and sealed her faith by baptism March 23, 1902. J. L. McCoy. James L. McCoy, the well known station agent and grain buyer at Walnut died suddenly Tuesday night of heart failure, he was 54 years old and leaves a wife and two little daughters. He was an honest man who enjoyed the confidence of the community in which he lived. Mrs. E. C. Martindale, of this city, is his half sister. The remains will be interred at Richland Center, but we have not learned the time of the funeral. Defeat of James K. Jones. There is a good deal of quiet rejoicing at Washington among the new crop of young democrats over the news from Arkansas that James K. Jones, chairman of the democratic national committee, has been defeated at the primaries for re-election to the United States Senate. He has not figured conspicuously in the senate this session. The progressive members of the party feared his re-election might lead him and his followers to believe that the Bryan wing of the party was still in good standing. Jones was regarded as the greatest exponent of Bryanism at the capital. Death of Nettie Seiler. This paper last Saturday briefly noted the death of Miss Nettie Seiler, daughter of Chris Seiler, of Bremen, who died Friday afternoon from the effects of a burn received Tuesday, March 26. She was engaged in cleaning house, and had carried a pile of straw and litter into the yard and set fire to it, when the wind carried some of the burning straw toward the barn. Fearing it might set the barn on fire, she attempted to stamp out the blaze, and in so doing her dress caught fire, and she was instantly enveloped in flames. Her clothing was all burned off, and her body, face and arms were terribly burned. The young lady was to have been married within a few weeks to Walter Neufer, a young man of Bremen, and a cousin of Mr. Neufer at whose home she died, she having run to the Neufer residence for assistance. She was 22 years of age and is survived by her father and four sisters. In No Sense Competition. The most remarkable statement in the testimony of Mr. Morgan, the financial magnate, and his associates in the suit against the Northern Securities Company popularly known as the "merger" case, is that to the effect that it is not the purpose of those securing control of the competing roads to prevent competition. Owning both roads, which will be independently operated, these magnates declare that the spirit of competition will not be checked. The public is very slow to believe such a statement. The Morgan syndicates are composed of very wise men. Those of them who are in the million-dollar steel trust have created very general surprise by using their authority to prevent an adrance in the price of steel goods when it could be done, and when their competitors are anxious to do it. The steel, magnates are wise enough to resist the temptation of larger profits at once in the certainty that fair prices and fairly large profits for years are more desirable than exorbitant prices and enormous profits for a short time. It is probable that Mr. Morgan's railroad magnates believe that it is wiser to do the transportation of several large states at moderate rates than to check transportation by imposing rates that will make it unprofitable to produce certain classes of merchandise. But moderate rates maintained over all the roads of a section is in no sense competition.---Indianapolis Journal. Fulton County Democrats. Fulton county democrats have nominated James Hines for clerk, Fred Cornelius for auditor, Stella Bailey for sheriff, George Dubois for treasurer, Andrew Carr for recorder, and Aaron Kline for surveyor. The delegate conventions named delegates friendly to Enoch Myers for judge. Notice to Stockholders.

Tuskegeeans In Africa. In 1900 one of the teachers of agriculture at the Alabama Tuskegee institute and three of his graduating class went to Togo, West Africa. They were hired by the German Colonial Econmic society to teach cotton culture to the natives of Togo. A few weeks ago Mr. J. N. Calloway, the teacher, came to this country, and, after a month's stay, returned to Togo, taking with him several more young men from Tuskegee skilled m cotton culture. These are to be located among the natives as model farmers. Togo is a German colony about 50,000 square miles in extent, on the north coast of the gulf of Guina, 1,500 miles east of Liberia. It is not a white man's country, although the natives under Germany's supervision are orderly and industrious, and disposed to adopt modern methods in farming. Looking for teachers and trainers, the German Colonial society came to Booker T. Washington for colored men trained at Tuskegee. The result is that American negroes trained in one of the best of our practical schools have gone to the country of their ancestors to modernize the agriculture of the old slave coast. It appears, from a letter written by Mr.. Calloway to the Outlook, that two of his Tuskegee graduates could trace their lineage back to slaves brought in a Portuguese sla'. jr from this very coast, and they landed in Togo with a sense of triumph. The colored men from Tuskegee established their cotton plantation sixty miles inland, found many laborers eager to work and to learn, and the result was so satisfactory to the German authorities that another call was made on Tuskegee for teachers and managers. There is fine poetic justice in this going of the educated sons of slaves,

from an institution founded by a former slave, to the land harried bv the old slave-traders, to become teachers, supervisors, everseers, proprietors. There is significance in the fact, that the Tuskegeeans go to Togo not as a matter of sentiment, but in answer to definite business propositions based on their exceptional fitness for the work in hand. It is significant also that the nations engaged in colon izing Africa are turning to the color ed men of the United States for help in forwarding their educational projects. The Tuskegeeans in Africa are not colonists or adventurers. They went to the countries of the eld slave coast, just as our engineers have gone to Burmah and our railway builders to Egypt, China, and South America, because they were paid well to go. They are in Africa because thsy have in talent and training what the colon izing nations of Europe wish to buy. Inter Ocean. The Woolen Wedding. King Edward and Queen Alexandra have just entered upon the fortieth year of their married life. The question Is being agitated whether some means may not be taken to specially celebrate these four decades of union, following the coronation ceremonies. The fortieth wedding anniversary is called the woolen wedding and will come for their majesties in 1903, and this should be considered especially appropriate in their case, seeing that from old time the trade in wool was regarded as the staple of the kingdom, which is typified for use even to this day by the fact that it is the woolsack upon which the lord chancellor sits in the house of lords. Dixon Lake Ripples. Miss Mable Logan's school closed last Friday. Mr. Semler was buried at the Stringer cemetery Tuesday. A band of gypsies camped in Mr. Freese's grove last Wednesday.
