Alfonso XIII is the new king of Spain. He was sixteen years old ,last Saturday and was crowned king on that day.
Four thousand employes of the St. Louis branches of the International Tobacco company will soon receive a ten percent increase in wages, that amount having been authorized by the company. 1
When seeking the real cause of the anthracite strike it will be found in the combination owning' the mines, and that its members have encouraged rather than made an attempt to prevent it. If half the complaints made of the mine owners have any basis in fact they constitute a monopoly which the law should reach,
The realistic descriptions of the
destruction of St. Pierre by survivors
and eye witnesses far surpass in vivid
ness and impressiveness the fancy sketch in Bulwer's "Last Days of
Pompeii," audit maybe added destruction of life in the recent erup
tion was many times as great as in the ancient one.
Two men have testified in a St. Louis court that they raised the money neccessary to bribe the city
council to sell a street railway fran
chise. Before they made the admis
sion of their guilt, which is as great
as that of the members of the council wrho sold their votes, they were given assurance that they would not be prosecuted. This should not be, since the man who approaches the councilmen with a bribe is as great an offender, and sometimes greater, than the man who sells his vote."
OUR CIRCUIT JUDGE.
The judge of the Marshall and Ful
ton circuit courts should be the equal
of the best judges in Indiana. Both parties have men that will make such a judge and if we do not have a good judge it will be the fault of the peo
ple.
The democratic primaries to select
delegates will be held next Saturday.
If good men are selected as delegates
to the judicial convention they will
nominate a good lawyer and an honest
man for judge a man who will pro
tect widows and wards in their rights, will punish criminals and render righteous decisions, so far as he can, in all cases tried in his court. We are not advocating the nomination of any particular individual, but we want to emphasize the fact that the nominating conventions are just as important as the election. If no party nominated bad men, no bad men would be elected. Let both parties see to it that good men are nominated and we will have good officials
regardless of which party wins. If we do not have a good judge during the next six years the people will
have themselves to blame. No man
should be elected judge as a reward for party work.
One thing is Sure, and that is that
the country's wheels can not move without motive power. The coal operators and employes have yet to learn that they are not the only people concerned in the strike.
Indiana Congressmen are eagerly watching returns from Representative Steele's district, and waiting for the convention at Wabash Wednesday. Steele's renomination is confidently predicted at Washington.
In all the annals of history no
grander act of a nation will be found than that of tb . United States in rescuing Cuba from oppression and giving to her people the independence
for which they had sacrificed so much.
The storm which swept over Texas
Sunday did Its worst work at Goliad,
where ninety-eight persons are dead
and 103 are injured. The town is
now under military rule. The court house and residences are being used to
shelter dead and care for the wound
ed.
One of the causes of the success of the republican party is that it is a
party of do something. The voters of this country are favorably impressed
with a party of progress and hence a
vast majority of the young men who are just entering political life attach
themselves to the only live political
organization of the country, the re
publican party.
One of the professors thinks the isthmus joining North and South America may sink into the sea as a result of the volcanic disturbances. If it does a lot of canal contractors whose mouths are watering at present will be sadly disappointed.
Last year's drought cut down the
exports of corn 152,000,000 bushels,
the reduction in value amounting to
$77,000,000, This item alone covers
more than the decrease in American exports for the fiscal year.
Thus far the miners in the anthra
cite district are conducting themselves
with the utmost propriety, and the pledge which many of them have
given to their priests to abstain from intoxicants is a hopeful sign.
A returned army officer says the
Filipinos are deluded into continuing the struggle by the Hong-Kong junta, which represents President Koosevelt
as a prisoner in the white house, menaced by Americans, whodemand inde
pendence for the archipelago.
Reports of trouble with Apaches
come from Arizona. It would be well
to send a delegation of democrats to try moral suasion on the band of In
dians that has just killed a soldier.
Personal contact with savages is more
enlightening than a tract from Ed
ward Atkinson.
It appears that Tammany raised $900,000 for the last municipal campaign, of which $400,000 was expended for campaign uses and $200,000 for other purposes. No one has yet been able to find what became of the remaining$300,000 which was collected and not accounted for. The failure to find the missing $300,000 was one of the causes of Mr. Nixon's resignation as leader
Since the meeting of the state committee, it is probable that the republicans of Indiana will have a short speaking campaign. The situation was discussed at length by Chairman Gojdrich and the district chairmen. There was a division of opinion, A majority seemed to favor a short, brisk campaign, but it was decided to postpone definite action until the members of the Indiana delegation at Washington and other J party leaders can be consulted.
A paragraph in all the papers states that Senator Beyeridge will go to New York this week to attend the Presbyterian General Assembly, of which he is a lay delegate. This statement is true, and at the same time somewhat misleading. It conveys the impression that Mr. Beveridge is a Presbyterian, which is not the case. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and goes to the assembly as a fraternal delegate from the .General Conference of that church.
Representative Crumpacker is very
much pleased over the action of - the
senate committee on the Hammond
public appropriation. He has been
informed that the amount will be Increased from $125,000 to $140,000. This increase is made on account of Hammond having a federal court, which requires more room than Is necessary' for buildings in other Indiana cities which are to be favored. The appropriation for the Elkhart building has been increased to $100,000,' and Muncie and Richmond will be allowed $80,000 instead of $75,000. Logansport and Crawfordsville will remain the same, , and Anderson . will share honors with Muncie.
The democrats are to have a new or
gan to take the place of the Morning
Journal at Lafayette. The Lafayette
Democrat will be issued Friday under
the editorship of Leroy Armstrong.
Offices have been rented on Main St.,
opposite the Hotel Lahr. The new paper will be issued weekly, but it
is the intention to make it a daily as
soon as a plant can be secured.
In democratic circles at and near
the state capital there is still going
on a quiet little contest over the ques
tion who shall sound the keynote at the coming democratic state convention. The friends of John W. Kern insist that this distinction shall be
conferred upon him, while others contend that a man of stronger and sounder convictions shall be intrusted with that important task.
Judge Grosscup in the United States circuit court at Chicago issued a temporary injunction yesterday, prohibiting the packing companies constituting what Is known as the "Big Six" from combining in restraint of trade. The packers are enjoined from uniting to manipulate the prices of cattle and dressed beef under penalty of prosecution for contempt of court for any violation of the injunction.
The first official estimate of the re
sults of the explosion of Mount Pelee has been announced. This gives 28,000 as the number of people buried in the ruins of St. Pierre; Six thousand persons were rescued by steamships or
fled to places of safety. Three thousand probably were drowned. This re
port shows that at least 31,000 people perished when the top was blown off
Mount Pelee and all the surrounding
country deluged with fire and sul
phurous ashes. Senator Gorman is shrewd enough to see that the democrats can never w in on the Philippine issue. If they persist in trying to work up sympathy for the savage Filipinos against the United States soldier they will fail, is Gorman's prediction. He knows the American people will not stand these persistent attacks upon the army and the laudation of the enemy. If it is kept up he predicts that the republican majority in the next congress wlil be much larger than that of the present one. '
The committee on invalid pensions of the house has reported favorably the senate bill to increase the pensions of those who have lost limbs in the military or naval service of the United States or were totally disabled in the same. It is estimated by the committee that nearly 7,000 persons are affected in the bill; although the number is rapidly increasing. The lowest rate of increase recommended hy the bill is $10 per month. The committee also decided to reportthe senate bill increasing the pensions of maimed soldiers, with an amendment for the benefit of pensioners under the act of 1890 who require the periodical or frequent assistance of another person.
The . Christain Convention. The Missionary Convention of the Christian church held at Terre naute last week was well attended and interesting throughout. The reports from all over the state showed a remarkable increase in all lines of church work. During the year ending April 30th there were over .9000 conversions in this state and 35 new congregations organized. The largest revival held during the year in Indiana was at Anderson m April, when 465 were added to that congregation. Many other revivals were held with the number of conversions over one hundred at each meeting. The Christian church at this place will continue to have the financial support of the State missionary ociety until the work is well established.'
Death of Bishop Taylor. Bishop William Taylor, perhaps one of the greatest missionary bishops of of the Methodist church, is dead at Palo Alto, after a long illness, at he age of eighty-one. Fifty years '' ago he began the carter of evangelist, which carried him to all quarters of tha globe He served as bishop of Africa until 1898 when he was retired forage. '
The Unspoken Speeches of Congress.
After the whole country has been
impressed with the idea that the low
er house of congress has ceased to be a
deliberative body the announcement
comes from Washington that 300,000,
000 speeches of congressmen have been turned out by the government printing office and sent broadcast over the
land. When and where were all these speeches delivered? The people have been given to understand that the flow of talk had been effectually dammed by the gentleman in the speaker's chair. The feelings of their constituents have been harrowed up by the plaintive protests of the congressmen against the despotism of the speaker who refused to recognize all the statesmen who desired to be heard at home on measures before the house. Under "leave to print" congressmen are doing a lot of talking for home consumption at government ex
pense, congressman bo-ana-bo, who has been in the house two terms but was never recognized by the speaker, is dumping 50,000 copies of his "fam
ous speech on the Philippine bill" upon the defenseless voters in his district. The wild and vociferous "applause" with which his remarks are parenthetically interspersed shows that the
the speech "carried the house off its
feet," even if it was not heard bv the
speaker.
Three hundred million copies of un
spoken speeches four apiece for every man, woman and child In the land! And yet we are told that speech-making is a "lost art" in the house of
representatives.
County Democratic Candidates. The candidates for nomination on
the democratic ticket met in Plym
outh Saturday afternoon and drew
for position on the ticket which is to
decide their fate at the primary elec
tion Saturday.
The result of the drawing was as
follows:
For Representative Chas. Lemert
and Clay W. Metsker.
For Clerk John R. Jones, Ed Cor-
bin and Frank Brooke.
For Auditor Hoy L. Singrey and
Henry Miller.
For Treasurer William O'Keefe. For Sheriff James Poulson and
Clinton Bondurant.
For Commissioner 1st District Wm. II. Troup and Jas. Wade. For Commissioners 2nd District Chris Fisher, Nathan Lee, Joel Anglin and Henry Grossman. Most of the work for the nominations is now done, but there will be a good deal of hustling and quiet work to change votes before the ballot is taken Saturday. The indications now are that Lemert will be nominated for representative, Brooke for clerk, Bondurant for sheriff, and O'Keefe for treasurer. The vote on auditor will be close, but the chances seem to favor Singrey. For commissioner of the first district Troup will be nominated. In the second district all the candidates are in doubt and our readers can guess as well as we can.
He Knows How to Farm. J. G. Strean, who lives on the Willoughby farm southeast of Kewanna, is no doubt one of the most extensive farmers in this country. He is a worker and he has three sons, a son-in-law and a hired hand who are workers. They are successfully handling the 420 acres of the Willoughby farm, and Walter has 190 acres rented of Jim and Geo. Costello, making a total of 610 acres under one management. Tney work 18 nead of horses and last year produced 9000 bushels of corn which brought about $5,400. They are breaking this season 85 acres of the reclaimed Mill Creek lands which never before saw a plow, the work on the first mentioned piace being done with one 4-horse gang plow and two 3 horse Oliver plows, and that on the latter, farm with , two 3-horse wheel plows. 1 AH but a very few acres of the entlrd tract Is given over to corn and oats. Kewanna Herald. j Germany's Frederick the Great . Emperor William returns to the subject with great grace and appositeness. He begs to present to the citizens of this country a statue of Frederick the Great, to be placed Ja Washington as a lasting sign of the intimate relations that have been successfully fostered and developed between the great nations of Germany and America. Frederick the Great, the Emperor recalls, maintained a friendly attitude toward the American republic, and the example set by the great King, the Emperor means to follow. Frederick the Great was really one of the few men that deserve the title. He was great. It is said that President Roosevelt has determined on a place near the new war college, as the location of that statue. A fitter place could not be chosen. Frederick the Great was pre-eminently a great warrior, though ' he was great in other phases of bis character. The value of the gift, however, is a recognition of Prince Henry's visit and the consequences of it. It sets a good example for general imitation. Natioas might turn aside at times thus to mark a recognition of one another. Indianapolis News.

Petition for Large Ditch. A petition filed in court Thursday for a ditch proposes to dig a new ditch along the line of the old Austin neston ditch, and drain the same land as the old' was proposed to drain, with an extra arm on the west side. It is designed to start in the northwest corner of Union township and run south to Pleasant and Riddle's Lake thence south into Marshall county, to empty into the Yellow river. In its course the new ditch will run into the Vinnedge and the Bunch ditches, enlarging their old channels. At its mouth it would assume almost the proportions of a- river. South Bend Times.
