Plymouth, Ind., May I. 902. -- A most commendable disposition is manifested throughout the state to conduct the spring campaign on the principle that blackguardism and calumny are not conducive to personal or party advantage. In ether words, decent men propose to keep mudslinging in the background. Cattle dealers in. Kansas say there are cattle enough in the cattle country and that beef will be lower as soon as they can be fattened on grass, but with corn at 70 cents a bushel and scarce at that, no cattle of any consequence will be -prepared for the market. There seems to be sense in such a statement. The state ticket nominated at Indianapolis is composed of men of unquestioned ability. "When the delegates were gathering, an independent paper said that all the men asking ,a nomination were gentlemen and fully qualified to till the positions to which they aspired. This is a record of which any party might be proud. Edward M. Shepard, recently de feated for mayor of New York, says the democratic party will win in 1904 "if true to its principles." When asked to define them, Mr. Shepard said thev will be sriven in the next democratic platform. A party that has no principles between campaigns is in bad shape. Mr. Shepard, by the way, spoke against Bryan in 1S9U and for him in 1900. In passing the bill to pension the widow of President McKinley it was significant that the action in the House was unanimous. Mr. Richardsou, of Tennessee, and several other democratic members spoke in favor of the bill. Mr. Kleberg, of Texas, an ex-confederate soldier, supported it on the ground that the martyred President "had wiped out the last vestige of sectionalism." Metsker the little independent democratic editor now wants laboring men to vote the democratic ticket because farmers are getting too much for their produce under a republican administration. This is an acknowledgment that his solicitude for farmers in 1896 and 1900, because they were not getting increased prices for what they raised was simply hypocritical mich f r rrat vfitöc A conference of republican senators was held this week in Washington. It was attended by. the members of the steering committee and other influential republicans. The object was to talk over the Cuban tariS situation in hope of bringing about harmony of action among the republican senators. No definite agreement was reached, but the senators are all sanguine that it will be impossible to frame and pass, a reciprociay bill with the republican vote alone. The republican convention which completed its work Thursday was one of the largest and 'most enthusiastic ever held by the party in the state. It was, as conventions go, a' most orderly assemblage. One distinguishing feature was the unusually large number of young men who were delegates, indicating that today the control of the party in Indiana is in the hands of men who have the courage and inspiration which is the characteristic of young men. Senator Beveridge was quite as successful as presiding officer as orator. The net profits of the United States Steel -corporation in the last twelve months are statäd to have been about $110,000,000.- That is one-third as much as the gross value of the gold mined in the worli in any year. It doubtless exceeds the profits of gold diggirg, fairly calculated, tor the past on ußirc norhins ffir twpntv. Jill over the world. - Such facts faintly indicate how vastly iron outranks the precious metals as a source of wealth. Gold and silver are of slight importance in human progress, in companson with iron and steel. . Senator Beveridge's treatment of the trust question was sane and sensible. It ought to be widely read. Combinations are not to be destroyed they have come about too naturally. The senator says the republican party this very In ur is providing for the national supervision of , national industries, We . hope it is true. National supervision of trusts would banish much of the fear of them and the prejudice that people hold against large combinations of capital. The republican party will be doing a great work if it adopts the supervision of trusts as one of Its pot cles. Indianapolis News. J '

It is reported that the steel trust is

buying steel in Europe to fill orders in America, because the steel mills of this country cannot begin to supply the demand. It is said that many railroads are short of rails and cannot get them Professor Ilorswell of the chair of Old Testament literature and Hebrew at Garrett Biblical ' Institute has resigned because he feared Methodists held his views too liberal. He agrees with John Weslev. he savs, but rot with modern Methodism. The bill agreed upon in congress for appropriations for public buildings in elude seven Indiana cities: Elkhart, $75,000; Lugansport, $75,000; Muncic, $75,000; Richmond, $75,000; Vin cennes, $75,000; Crawfordsville, $50, 000; Hammond, $125,000. A large proportion of the candidates on the republican ticket were born and brought up on farms and served time at teachinr school. The farm is a good place for public men to be born, and teaching is one of the assured stepping stones to statesman ship. "We hold to the doctrine that American sovereignty must be respect ed within the United btates and all territory under its jurisdiction." So says the republican platform, andit is a verv condensed statement of a doctrine which should command the assent of everv American citizen. Eph Marsh, of Greenfield, who was secretary of the democratic state committee in 188S, was an enthusiastic delegate to the republican state convention Wednesday and Thursday. Like Charles Jewett, who was chairman of the democratic state committee in 1S8S, Mr. Marsh abandoned the democratic party in 1S90. The announcement that Attorney General Knox has sutlicient evidence of the existence of a beef combination in restraint of the freedom of trade to authorize the bringing of suits against the packing companies which constitute it win give great satisfaction to the people generally and will be regretted by the demagogues who are attempting to make it appear that the republican administration and congress are responsible for such unlawful combinations. The promptness of the administration in this matter is another piece of evidence showing that President Roosevelt is not only in earnest to enforce the laws, but that he goes at the enforcement with the energy which has characterized him in everything he undertakes. Post Check Bills. The post check bills, now pending in both houses of congress, are receiving favorable endorsement of the people and press of the country. The plan has apparently solved one of the most puzzling problems in modern business life, how to safely transmit nail sums through the mails when the sender has no bank account upon which to draw checks. The proposed post check L; nothing more than an ordinary go vernment note so printed as to permit its transformation quickly 'into a veritable check. By affixing a stamp and writ ing upon provided spaces the name and address of the payee this note becomes a money order, payable only to the ' payee. Thus the substitution of the post check for the present form obviates the necessity of a special journey to the post office on the part of the sender. He merely takes a bill from his pocket book, properly inscribes it, stamps it, cancels the stamp with his initials, and the transaction is complete at the end of his line. The requirement that a signature be given by the payee is a protection against fraud and theft. Until so used the note circulates as at present as money. When used and crashed as a post check it ceases to exist for circulating purposes and is replaced immediately by a new note. One result . of this system, incidentally, will be to keep the circulating notes in a fresher, cleaner condition. The plan is effectively supplemented by a . proposed series of fractional post checks, which will remedy one of . the petty nuisances now afflicting the business world, namely, the payment of small bills in postage stamps. Star Washington, D. C. ' - ' : ' The Evils of Contract Labor. The evils of the contract, system in prisons are well known and deplorable. At the same time it must be recognized that the problem of prison is not an easy one. If prisoners are to be deprived of labor they are bound- to become unhappy, if not insane. Anyone who has seen prisoners at Sing Sing moving piles of cannon balls from one side of the yard to the other and back again, in order to keep the prisoners busy, will not soon forget how futile is labor that is without purpose. Several states had commissions endeavoring to solve the question of prison labor. Indiana wants whatever is best for the people and the prisoners. It would be well to observe what other states are doing and get on the right track in the solution of the problem. Indianapolis News.

HON. CHARLES W. MILLER Republican Nominee for Attorney General

Mr. Miller was born in, Floyd county, Indiana, on the 4th day of February, 1863, and removed to Goshen In 1SS5. He has never been an officeseeker, although he was elected mayor of Goshen by a large majority when but 23 years of age, and was tha secA' CHARLES W. MILLER, ond F.epublican mayor of said city. He is a brilliant orator, a natural organizer, and as such his ability has always been in demand in local, and. state campaigns. He Is a,IoyaI and true friend, and has for year3 been associated in business with some of the ablest lawyers of the state. In 1900 he was unanimously select ed as presidential elector at large for Indiana, his county responding by giv ing the largest Republican majority in its history. His great ability as an attorney is recognized throughout the state. Prosperity and Beef Steak. "These are beautiful times for the beef trutst. But how does the day laborer, who voted for prosperity (?) like it: The fellow who is paving 18 cents a pound for beef steak evidently realizes what the republican party means bv the word "Prosperity." Plymouth Independent. Thanks Brothor Metsker. I like it. hav? work every day, and get my $0.00 cash everv Saturday night. I can earn money to buy beef steak even at present prices. During the good old Democratic times under Cleveland I could not buy beef steak, not if it had been three cents a pound. I tramped the country over in search of work and begged most of what I jrot to eat at the back doors. The soup at the public soup houses was as thin as the promises democrats made us before the election. No, thanks Brother Metsker, my $9.00 a week out weighs all your slurs on "Prosperity." Ta, Ta, I must go to work, A Day Laborer. Dr. Home Leaves Indiana. Dr. Brose S. Home, late physician of the Northern Prison, who created quite a sensation some weeks ago by preferring a series of charges that he failed utterly to sustain, and who himself was shown up to be anything but a faithful or conscientious public servant, has deemed it advisable to seek a habitation far beyond the borders of the state of Indiana. The last heard of him was that he had gone to some point in Texas. Dr. Home be longs to that class of individuals whose hindsight is a good deal better than their foresight. He will have reason to thank his stars if lie can manage to keep at a safe distance from Michigan-. City. South Bend Times. :. Brown County White Ops. Brown county has a number of citizens who are as barbarous as untamed Indians. These "White Cappers" almost mnrdered William Caldwell Monday night and on Tuesday' night twenty masked men went to the home of Finley Stretchberry, aged 40, six miles west of Nashville, and only a few miles from the home of William Caldwell, and broke their way Into Stretchbury's house. Stretchberry met them with a double-barreled gun and emptied one charge into the shoulder of one of the gang. The whitecappers then seized Stretchberjy's wife and forced her into the kitchen. Stretchberry 's hands were then tied and he was dragged to a woods near by and whipped until blood flowed down Iris back and limbs to the ground. The cappers then untied their victim, took him down tbe road and tied him to a fence post and beat him until he was almost dead, -nis wife, who was recently discharged from the insane hospital,' ran to the road, then into a farmer's house. She was unable to make herself understood, . but the farmer rose and followed her to the place where Stretchberry lay. He was taken to his homo and doctors were sgnt for. Both Stretchberry and Caldwell are at the point of death, and Mrs. Stretchberry 's condition is pitiable. 'Experience convinces.

Thirty Days More of Lent, Newspaper dispatches from Bloomington, 111., say that 2,000 men employed in the shops of the Chicago and Alton railway have resolved to eat no meat during the next thirty days. This oath of abstinence is the result not of any sentimental or hygienic aversion to animal food but of a rooted antipathy to high prices, especially when believed to be enforced by a trust. It is hoped that other workingmen in other towns and, cities will

follow the example set them by the workingmen of Bloomington and that when the trust finds that it cannot get rid of its meat at the present prices it will see its way more clearly to a reduction. In other words, the principle involved is precisely that which made so much stir in Boston number of years ago when the East India company was trying topeisuade the Americans to drink tea. It wil be remembered that at that time in Boston and also in other colonial towns men resolved that they would leave alone forever rather than sub mit to the tax which the tea implied. The people of Bloomington seem to be animated by a similar spirit, and the "beef trust" will understand just how the East India company felt In 1773. Meanwhile, at Bridgeport, Conn., the working people are proceeding in the same direction with the Chicago and Alton employes at Bloomiugton, but by a different route. At Bloom ington the basis of action is a mutual agreement. At Bridgeport it is to be a general order. The labor unions, it is said, are about to pass a note forbidding their members to consume any of the "beef trust" products. It will be interesting to watch the progress of the unseasonable Lent which Bloomington and Bridgeport are contemplating. It is to be hoped. however, that the next few davs will bring forth reasons why tint Lent may be brought to a quick end. Argument on Both Sides. Ex-Senator Gorman of Maryland, in a recent speech in Baltimore, said: "I remember, during my service in the United States senate, when we naa quite a sharp envision in our ranks. One very great man introduced a resolution which some of us thought was unwise. He made a half hour speech, full of eloquence and force, in favor of this resolution. Just before he sat down I caught his eve and shook my head. The great man turned at once to the president. 'Mr. President,' he said, 'that was one side of the question. There is another side.' He then spoke with equal eloquence and force against the resolution for half an hour. He said it was too serious a matter to take snap judgment on, and ended by moving to adjourn. Afterward he came over to me and asked: 'What the devil is it all about, anyway?" Subsisted Chiefly on Prunes. The biographer of Will L. Taylor, attorney-general of Indiana, says he started out in life as a section hand on a railroad, after taking a preliminary course of training at wrestling the soil on his father's farm in Noble county to harden his muscles. Wolcottville was the town where the family went for the molasses and mail. The future attornev-general labored faithfully as a section hand, and it vas not long before he was a fireman, ne saved his money until he had enough to start to school, and then he , took the trail for an education. He worked his way through school and through th s state university, teaching school, off and on to recruit tis finances. He and Nat. Hill, now a candidate for state treasurer roomed together at the university. They boarded themselves and Hill says, the menu consisted chiefly of prunes. VfiRY MUCH WANTED.

Travelers, It is cheerful news that comes from Chicago concerning certain railways. It is that these roads have issued orders that hereafter the rough bundling of baggage will not be tolerated. Trunks that are to be conveyed a considerable distance must be placed on a truck and the truck must have a pad of felt to prevent damage. There is to be no throwing of trunks on end from a car, no bumping them along a platform from corner to corner. In short, trunks are to be handled in a decent, common sense manner. Thus passes another pioneer phase, and at

IN DEADLY PERIL. rhe Narrow Path of Safety. The Alpine tourist who finds himself suddenly clinging with feet and fingers to a shelf of slippery rock overhanging a äizzy precipice, understands in a very iteral sense the full meaning of tlie words, "There is but a step between me and death." His peril is so tragic in all its circumstances, so wild in its mountain setting, that the heart almost stands still it the thought of it. But as a matter of fact every man walks the world with his life in his hands, and the path of safety is narrow for his feet. An example of the constant peril in which we live is found in the alarming tramber of deaths from consumption. Hie country is thoroughly aroused to the aeed of doine something to stop the ravages of the deadly germ of this disease. Several states have made liberal appropriations for sanitariums in favorAble climates. The medical skill of the world is enlisted to fight consumption. Yet in spite of all that is done, the dis;ase seems to gain grouna insieau. oi losing it. THE FORCE OF HABIT is-trong with us. We are so accustomed to the world wide prevalence of consumption that we accept it practically as a necessary evil. If some strange dis ease were to break out, and destroy hnman life to the same extent as does consumption, such a disease would be looked, upon as an appalling plague. Quarantine would be established against it, and days of fasting and prayer appointed by the churches for the mitigation of the disease. But we accept consumption as inevitable because of its familiarity. How true this is may be judged trom a recent report of Sanitary Officer Gorgas, of Havana. Cuba. It has been cabled to the United States that yellow fever was epidemic in Havana. Dr. Gorgas answered that there is no epidemic. He says: nIn the past month there were J2 deaths from consumption and 52 from yellow fever. Yellow fever therefore should not be considered epidemic more than consumption." What light that throws on our accept ance of consumption! A scare cry is raised that yellow fever is epidemic be cause of 52 deaths in one month. Not a word was said as to consumption which m the same month claimed 72 victims, or Over 35 fo more than died of yellow fever. The great question is: Why is con-

Hall's Family Pills are the best. sumption so widespread ? The answer is found in the general neglect of diseases which if neglected or unskilfully treated find a fatal termination in consumption THE GERM OF CONSUMPTION IS ENTIRELY HARMLESS when the lungs are healthy. In a condition of health these germs are received with impunity. It is only when the lungs are w weak " that the germ is dangerous. For this reason the real danger to be guarded against is the incipient weakness of the lungs, the severe cold, the deep cough, and other affections of the organs of respiration. These diseases can be cured perfectly and permanently by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. w I was troubled with a bad cold, which settled on my lungs and left me with a miserable cough," writes Mr. Joseph D. Burns, of 31S Huestis St, Ithaca, X. Y. w I used two bottles of your Golden Med ical Disco very, alter which my cough disappeared entirely. I cannot recommend your medicine too highly." But Golden Medical Discovery" is not a mere cough medicine. The cures of deep-seated coughs, bronchitis, etc., are but slight tests of the merit of this medicine. In many cases where there were hemorrhages, night-sweats, emaciation, and every symptom of disease which usually terminates fatallv in consumption, w Golden Medical Discovery " has effected a lasting cure. " I take great pleasure in sending you this .testimonial," writes Mr. Will H. Whitmire, of Arkton, Rockingham Co., Va., "and to tender you my hearti'elt thanks lor the restoration to health of my son, A. P.

He told me that if we could keep the bronchial tubes open, he might cure him; but after treating him several weeks and my son growing worse all the time, I concluded to try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets. I had seen several miraculous cures brought about by the se of these medicines, and, of course, I had wonderful faith in them. 1 am so happy to tell you that I have not been disappointed, and that my boy is well.

I am just in receipt of a letter from him from which I quote: 'I am well and hardy and getting very fleshy. n The neighbors all knew the condition of my boy and they all said he had consumption and would not live a month, and the doctor told some persons after I commenced the use of your medicine that my boy had quick consumption m& would have to die.'
