German financial papers, moralizing on the monetary outlook, claim the situation in "Wall street is threat ening. General O. L. Spaulding, first assistant secretary of the treasury is to be retired by Secretary Shaw. His ideas do cot harmonize with those of the new chief of the treasury department. The Cuban flag was jaised over Morro Castle Sunday for the first tsme, the occasion being the arTival at Havana, of President-elect Palma, who will remain there until inauguration, May 20. Yes, we butchered the niggers like sheep to keep them from voting, and we have no apologies to offer. " And when Senator Tillman bad thus spoken the Democratic senators left the chamber. J.J. Hill expects government to win suit against Northern Securities Company, and is preparing to make the Burlington the chief of his three lines, to gather and manage traffic for the others, in a war on the Harriman combine. Bret Harte, who died suddenly in London on May 5, was a most prolific writer, the list of his works compris ing more than fortv-four titles. His latest collection of western tales, 'Openings in the Old Trail," was published only two weeks ago and con tains some of his best stories. Democratic leaders say that tbe state ticket this year will be much the same as it was in the last national campaign, as it has always been the rule to give candidates, defeated in their first race, another chance. It is the understanding now that all the men who were on the ticket two years ago, except Charles Drummond, who was a candidate for attorney general, will ask for renomination Martinique is a little island with an extreme length of forty-five miles and a tutal area of only 381 square miles, but is one of the most densely popu lated regions of the world. In 1894, the time of the last official census, there were 189,599 people upon it,and the number has increased rather than decreased since then. And this great population, averaging 500 people to the square mile, is really even more closely packed than the figures show, for the central parts of the island are mountainous and in many places the virgin forests still stand. The arable lands have to support the entire pop ulation. Martinique lies in the Lesser Antilles, about half way betweenPorto Rico and the South American- coast. It is about 450 miles from San Juan, Porto Rico, and over 2,000 miles from New York. The Chicago Tribune, while it does not approve the Yates regime in Illinois, coidially indorses the nomination of Representative Hopkins for United States senator by the Republican State convention. In the nomination of Mr. Hopkins the Tribune says the shouting and the tumult have ceased and it rejoices that the choice of the party has fallen upon a man so thoroughly deserving of it as the Hon. Al bert J. Hopkins. It declares that Mr Hopkins is a man of absolutely un spotted reputation, public and pri vatea good lawyer and r. goodlegislator, with large experience, with suf fielen t will and character. Illinois could have gone farther' and fared worse; it could not have gone farther and fared much better," says the Tribune. Mr. Hopkins is serving his ninth term in the nouse. At the instance of The Indianapolis News, Senators Fairbanks and Beve ridge and the Indiana congressmen are supporting a bill appropriating $100,000 lor the purchase of supplies for the sufferers on the Island of Martinique. The News wired Friday night, May 9, to the two senators saying: "The Indianapolis News be lieves it expresses the sentiment of the people of Indiana in hoping that congress will take immediate action for the adequate relief of the stricken people of Martinique." A relief bill ttos introduced Saturday morning by Senator Fairbanks, and was promptly passed by the senate. In the house it was held up by a single objection, until . farther definite returns are received from the region of the late disaster in the West Indies. This forethought of the Indianapolis News places America first among the nations affording relief to the people of the Islands who have suffered so terribly during the past week.

Deaths from the naptha explosion

at Pittsburgh number twenty-five. About 300 are injured, fifty of whom may die. . President Roosevelt has ordered a new trial for Rathbone directing Governor Wood to allow an appeal to the supreme court at Havana. Certain newspapers used old pict ures of the eruption of Vesuvius to illustrate the Martmque disaster. This may be up-to-date journalism, but is going pretty far back. President Roosevelt and Harry New, of Indianapolis, are going to indulge in a hunting trip in Wyoming. That may be the means of landing our Hoosier friend in the cabinet. Young Alphonso is to be crowned king of Spain next Saturday. A great responsibility will be thrust upon his youthful shoulders, and he will be fortunate if he secures advisers who are able to prevent trouble. It is cause ,for sincere congratula tion that President Palma is receiving from the Cubans every indication of their confidence and approbation. All Americans hope that independent Cuba can show itself qualified for self government. One great pity about the Martinque disaster is that Mount Pelee gave timely warning by sending down a stream of lava a day or two before destruction occurred. A committee was appointed to investigate, and it gave assurance that there was no danger. In such cases one had better obey his own sense of danger. Visitors to St. Pierre are unable to endure the horrors of the scene. The air reeks with pestilence and soldiers are burning all the corpses they can find. The volcano still belches streams of fire and lava and the whole island is in constant danger. Tens of thous ands of people are threatened with famine and the situation is terrible. Although the corn crop last year was short, the United States still maintains its place at the head of exporting countries. For the nine months ending March 31, this country led Great Britain, second on the list, by a considerable margin in exports. If the crops are good this year Ameri can exports will reach unprecedented figures. The rescuers fouDd nearly three thousand dead bodies in the ruins of the St. Pierre Cathedral. In the streets and ashes of the houses were thousands of corpses, some half burn ed and others merely charred., Many of these have been piled in heaps, petroleum poured over them and the torch applied. Prompt disposal of the dead was necessary to avert pestil ence. Death has been busy in the ranks of prominent Americans during this month of May. From the hero class Admiral Sampson has been taken; from the field of letters, Bret Harte and Paul Leicester Ford; from the commercial realm, Potter Palmer, and from the ranks of statesmanship, Congressman Amos J. Cummings, of New York. All these were shining marks and their passing away causes widespread sorrow. The men who will reap all the bene fits of the greatest strike of anthracite coal miners will 'be the operators The workmen will lose their wages and their places, the great industries of the country will be crippled, the buying public will have to pay more for coal, and the strike that is called to win the demands of workers will do them no good, while it does despite to thousands of their fellow workers al over the land. Do such things pay? Elkhart Review. Congress can act in ä hurry when I pleases. Monday President Roosevel sent a message to the' senate and house urging an appropriation of $500.000 for relief of the West Indian sufferers. Mr. nemenway, of In diana, at once called a meeting of the house appropriations committee, a bil providing $200,000 was framed, re ported and passed immediately. The senate promptly accepted the meas ure as a substitute for its own $100, 000 appropriationpassed on Saturday and the bill was sent to the president all within an afternoon. Many democratic papers are clam oring for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico as states of the Union but John B. Stoll the veteran demo cratic editor of the South Bend Times says: When these territories are once thoroughly Americanized, instead of being largely dominated by - greasers, it will be time enough to admit them into the Union as states. The reasons that impelled democratic as well as republican congresses to, keep out New Mexico are still potent. In our national compact we doh't want any states the majority of whose inhabitants decline to be considered Americans. So long as the proceedings of the New Mexico legislature are conducted in the language of the Mexicans there need be no undue haste about clothing that territory with the habiliments of statehood.

F. M. McCkort. The whole world is awed by the tremendous disaster in the West "Indies. Not since the earthquake that destroyed Lisbon has the Western world known anything comparable to the Martinique horror. The suddenness and completeness of the havoc mafte it additionally impressive. In the presence of the forces of nature, how futile are all men's efforts and how weak and puny are all their works. But the heart of the world is touched and aid to the survivors will be instant and generous. Death of Walter Guyer. Walter Guyer, well known in this city and county, died at the home ot his mother (five miles north-east of this city, Tuesday evening, May 13, aged 27 years. Deceased was an industrious, Intelligent affable young man who had the respect and esteem of all who knew him. His death was caused by consumption from which he had suffered several years. He spent several months in South America In search of health and returned home seeming much benefited, but a few montbs ago he began to fail rapidly and in March he gave up his position in the Forbes seed store and he and his mother moved to their farm in the country. The change did not benefit him and he . grew weaker day by day until death relieved his suffering. One brother, Marion Guyer, of Chicago, and one sister, Mrs. Edward Schroeder, and his mother are left to mourn his death. The remains will leave the home at 10 o'clock Thursday morning and will be taken to the Walnut Grove church where funeral services will be held about 11 o'clock. Hospital Sued For $10,000. . , Arthur Johnson of South Bend, through his attorney, Perry L. .Turner has brought suit in the St. Joseph circuit court, for $10,000 damages against theEpworth hospital of South Hend and Miss Maggie Brenan, the matron alleging carelessness in not watching his wife, who' was a patient there and had been operated upon and during the mental derangement that followed escaped from the hospital last January, jumping from a window and wandered about on the frozen ground until found by outside parties. It is alleged that Mrs. Johnson came to her death from the Injuries received and exposure to the cold while supposed to be a patient of the defendant, the Epworth hospital. Carl Schurz Gets Set Back. President Schurman of Cornell uuiversity, has written Carl Schurz, declining membership on the committee appointed to investigate the alleged Philippine atrocitits. President Schurman says he feels that the conduct of the investigation and the vindication of the honor of the army may safely be left in the hands of President Roosevelt, who, in his order on this subject, has nobly voiced the sentiments and determination of the American people.

JUDGE OF CIRCUIT COURT

Something for the People Democrats and Republicans To Think About On Saturday, May 24, the democrats of this county will select delegates to a convention to nominate a candidate for circuit judge of the 41st judicial district. This district is composed of the counties of Marshall and Fulton. Both counties gave democratic majorities at the last presidential election and democrats expect to elect their nominee. They should, for this reason, select the best man that they can find for that position. The convention will be a delegate convention and the delegates, can nominate a candidate from the list of men asking for the office, or they can choose some one who is not an applicant. They have all the democratic lawyers in the district to select from. Among the list of applicants we find the name of Elijah C. Martindale. Now we do not say that Mr. Martindale Is not as good as any of the other candidates, but we think if he is, the delegates will go outside the list to find a candidate if they have their own interests and the interests of the people at heart. A judge should be a man who is willing to deal justly with rich and poor, a man who is willing to allow a fair equivalent for a day's work cr anything else. He should be a man who will protect the interests of the widow and fatherless children. A man who in settling estates will see that the money due heirs is not divided among lawyers instead of among those to whom it belongs. The writer of this article is not a lawyer, but he finds irr the office of the Marshall circuit clerk, in order book 19, page 296, case 11,532, Chas. Gans and Amelia Gans vs Joseph E. Talbott, executor of estate of John C. Dille deceased, claim 81,819.50 judgment rendered. He finds that this case was brought to this countv from South Bend, that George Bradshaw was plaintiff's attorney, that he employed Martindale & Stevens to assist him, that on October 15, 1900, they did one day's work by filing an amended complaint, that on the second day judgment was rendered for $1,819.50. He then finds the following entry: Jan. 21, 1901. Notice is hereby given that we hold and intend to hold a lien on the opposite judgment for attorney fees in said cause, for the sura of $908, 608 of which belongs to George Bradshaw, of South Bend, Ind., aLd $300 to Martindale & Stevens, all being plaintiff's attorneys in said cause. Signed, George Bradshaw. Martindale & Stevens. Think of it 908 for collecting 81,-. 819.50 and $300 of that claimed by Martindale & Stevens for less than two day's work. Mr. Stevens says that the above was Bradshaw and Martindale 's case not his. Again we find: Indianapolis Varnish Co., takes judgment on note before Justice H. C. Corbin. Transcript Aug. 31, 1895, Indianapolis Varnish Co., (a corporation) vs the Plymouth Wagon Co., defenants. Note, 51.22, interest $1.46, attorney's fees $2.63, costs $4.65, making a total of $59.96, for which judgment was rendered. This was filed Oct. 17, 1895. A receiver was appointed for the Plymouth Wagon Co., and from his report we take the following: "Said receiver hereby turns over to the court vouchers showing payments made to the Union National Savings and Loan association and to judgment creditors, their pro rata shares jn their claims, for which their said claim shall be credited, Viz.: Voucher No. 52, Indianapolis Varnish company, cash proportionate by decree of purchase, $299.00. The word pre portionate was written with pen' and ink, apparently recently. ... : The voucher Is as follows: Iteceived of D. L. Dickinson $25.43 being the proportionate share of the $299.00 to be credited on judgments due to Indianapolis Varnish company paid to receiver in cash by H. A. Logan, trustee, being a payment on our judgment vs Plymouth Wagon Company and releasing our lien on the lots (signed) 4 . 1 Indianapolis Varnish Co. ; by Martindale & Stevens, Attorneys. ! It does not appear from the records that one cent of the above amount was turned over to the Varnish company. It was all retained to pay attorney's fees. These are samples of .what allowances may be expected if such a lawyer is elected, and we hope the honest democrats of Marshall county will see to it that the name of such a lawyer is not placed on their ticket, whether that name be E. C. Martindale or the name of someone else. No man who is not interested in the welfare of the people should receive the votes of the people. It is hoped and believed that the war in South Africa is virtually ended. English and Boers' think that peace is in sight. . '

Proceedings of the City Council. The council met in regular session Monday evening with all members and Mayor Jones present. After the usual routine of business the new council was installed. Councilmen Kuhn and Shearer stepping down and out, and Councilmen Kyle and Logan taking their places. Mayor Jones re-appomted Joseph Glass night-watch. A custodian of Oak Hill cemetery was elected by ballot and Frank Petcher was chosen. A resolution was adopted declaring that Michigan street commencing at the river bridge should be paved 68 feet wide south to the railroad viaduct. A petition was presented asking for the paving of Sophia street from Michigan street to the Novelty factory. Petition was referred to committee on streets and alleys. Mayor Jones appointed the following standing committee: Committee on finance Astley, Gibson, Reynolds. Accounts and stationery Reynolds, Parker. Astlev. Ordinances and police Parker, Gibson, Logan.

Dickinson. ' B. C; South worth. Wild-cat Financiering. "If the financiers of the country do not form a combine to stop the reck less speculation in all sorts of worthless 'securities'. It will not be long be fore a panic will overtake Wall street, and then the country will be the great sufferer, observes the Elkhart Review. Wildcat schemes of all sorts are becoming so numerous, and are so quickly launched by the reckless bro kers with nothing to lose and every thing to gain, that the business world is honey-combed with rotren 'bonds', stocks aud mortgages with no basis behind them. The result will be that when liquidation begins the slump will come unless the solid men of 'finance take steps to stop the craze. Electric railroads, water works plants,' power companies are as thick as bees at a swarming, and the great bulk of them are at the best very questionable while many are simply plans to rob the unwary. The world of legitimate finance ought to take, some steps to counteract the rapid pace toward financial disaster that schemes - are causing." Abraham Lincoln's Hat Box. Sam Hinkle, of Springfield, , 111.; who was a member of Company. Thirty-third Indiana regiment, is in Indianapolis attending the state encampment of the G. A. R. He has taken with him a relic that is greatly prized by him a leather hat box that was used by President Lincoln when he became the occupant of the White house in 1861. After the death of President Lincoln Mrs. Lincoln,, upon her return to Springfield, with - her famous forty trunks, of which this was one, presented the hat box to Hugh Gallagher, who was then the principal transfer man in the Illinois capital. It remained in the possession of Mr. Gallagher's family until 1900, when it was purchased by H. E. Barker, of Springfield, and from Mr. Barker it was subsequently purchased by Mr. Hinkle.
