The loss oflife in the Coal Creek mines in British Columbia is greater than was first reported. It is now estimated that 150 to 165 persons were killed. The condition of Mt.-Pelee remains unchanged, other volcanos are also active and a volcanic out-brea is reported in Portugal. There seems to be some sort of connection of volcanic regions in every part of the world. A dispatch from Marti nque says 'utter and unreasoning fear possesses all souls." The word "unreasoning" is not well chosen. Under such circumstances it is the height of logical judgment to get out of the island as quickly as possible. Scientists say tee whole island of Martinique is now in peril, but a few hours before the recent destructive outbreak they repc rted that there was no danger. Perhaps scientists do not know much more abut future volcanic plans than other people do. The democratic convention in Kansas was so anxious to bring about fusion that it adopted the principal populist vtews and otherwise so lost its identity that David Overmyer, who was to have been the democratic candidate for governor, declined the nomination. Lord Paunecefote, British ambassador to the United States, died at Washington last Saturday. He had been suffering all winter from swollen limbs and severe attacks of asthma, He was a man of great ability and was highly esteemed in England and Wash ington. The Spooner proposition for Cul.'an reciprocity is that a reduction of 20 per cent, shall be made on the products of Cuba exported by their original owners to the United States. This plan prevents the sugar trust from sharing any advantage which may come from a reduction of duty on sugar. The national debt of Great Britain was reduced during the reign of Queen Victoria about $750,000,000. The cost of fighting the Boers has so far been about $800,000,000. So that Great Britian has expended in less than 3 years more than was saved during the entire 63 years of the Victorian period. At Pittsburg Pa., the United States Court has awarded an independent oil refining company $12,706, the full amount of losses alleged to be due to the discriminations of the defendant railroad in favor of the Standard Oil Company from September 1888, to June, 1894. This would indicate that the Sherman anti-trust law has some force. A statement of the resources and liabilities of the 4,426 national banks in the United States, compiled from representations to the controller of the currency of condition on April 30 last shows: Capital stock, $671,166,312; individual deposits, $31,111, 690,195; outstanding bank notes, $309, 781, 739; loans and discounts, $3,172, 757. 495; total resources, $5,762,135,451; average ratio reserve held, 27.20 per cent. The London Statist thinks, after a careful review of the business outlook in this country, that unless some great mistakes are made It will probably continue to prosper for an indefinite period. "Never," it "says, "has the country accumulated so much wealth, never have its industries and its railways-been as well administered, and never have its farmers been as free from debt." It seems strange, no doubt, to people of other countries that there should be a party in this country In opposition to the policy which has given us this prosperity.. Justice Barnard, of the District Supreme Court, in a dedsion in the mandamus case of the Chicago Business College against the postmaster general sustained the policy of the' Postoffice Department in its exclusion of certain classes of publications from the second-class mail rates. ,The court refused to issue the writ and 'dismissed the petition of the college, which sought to compel the admission of Its publication, "Business .Education," to the second-class rate. The court suggested in Its decision that it did not think courts should differ in judgment ith officers are charged with exercising, as that would constitute a substitution of the ' judicial" bind for the executive.

T.he price of anthracite coal . has

been, raised. Se far the operators seem to be enjoying the situation. The coal situation would be more hopeful if the operators would show the least disposition to arbitrate. Per haps they will, after they have worked off thier present supplies of coal at higher prices. The scientists who know just how the Mont Pelee eruption occurred,and who have decided that the danger is over, will do well to keep outside of the burnt district for a few weeks, just the same. Negotiations between the British and Boers have not been concluded, but there seems to be no doubt that hostilities are at an end and that the terms agreed on will be acceded to by both British and Boers. When the Ohio republican conven tion met Tuesday twenty of the twen ty-one congressional districts were found to be favorable to Senator ITanna. It is apparent that Hanna will succeed himself if the next legis lature has'a majority of republicans, A sublime truth was stated by President Boosevelt in a recent ad dress when he said: "What we need most in this republic is not special genius, not unusual brilliancy, but the honest and upright adherence on the part of the mass of the citizens and of their representatives to the fundamental laws of private and pub lic morality." The United States senate is sup posed to be the most dignified body on earth and a remark made by Senator Lodge, manager of the Philippine bill and the administration's exponent, the other day sounded quite amusing Senator Beveridge had dosed a speech on the Philippines with one of his us ual flowery perorations. As he went to take his seat Senator Lodge sang out: "Good for you, old man" The festivities in honor of the French visitors who came to New York to take part in the Rochambeau celebration Tuesday atternoon were marred by an accident which cost one life and injured a hundred people. An excavation twenty feet deep had been made finder a sidewalk,the walk being supported by timbers which gave way under the pressure of the immense crowds which thronged the streets. It is the deliberate judgment of the Indiana republicans at Washington that Roscoe O. Ilawkins, of Indianap olis, will be nominated as United States district judge for Indiana to succeed Judge John II. Baker when the latter retires. The date of the nomination is yet a matter of sur mise. but there seems to be a settled impression In Indiana circles that when the choice is made Mr. Ilawkins will be the man. News comes from Washington fhat the ship subsidy bill will not be called up again in this congress. It should be called up and be defeated or passed. The bill could be so amended as to make it acceptable to the mass of voters, but if it is neither defeated nor passed the democratic party will hold it up as a bugaboo which republi cans are afraid of and get more re publicans votes that they could if the bill was passed in its present shape. FeiricK Stubbed His Toe. A man who gets off a train at the wrong place because the conductor tells him that the stop is the place he wants, and who later .injures himself along the company's right-of-way while tiylng to get to his destination, is in a bad wax for financial consolation for his-injury. The, supreme court yesterday neia mat tne com pany would noibe liable. It was the sujfy of , John Fei rick against the Indiana Railway company from the St. Joseph circuit court. Feirick- wanted to get off at the county line crossing,and the conductor told him he was there. When he found he was in s strange place, he started to walk the ties to the next station, and on the way stubbed his toe on a stake. He sued for damages for injuries received from the stake. The supreme court said that he was just like any other man walking on a railway track, and reversed the judgment of the court in his favor. ' Indiana Deaths in 1901. Dr. Hurty, secretary cf the State Board of Health, has prepared for his annual report a table showing the deaths in Indiana in 1901 from pre ventable diseases The total shown on the table is 9,377. Of these 4,662 were from consumption, 1,198 from typhoid fever, 149 from scarlet fever, 554 from diphtheria, 2,501 from diarrheal diseases, 292 from puerpal fever, and 21 from smallpox. Of those dying from pulmonary tu berculosis the greatest number died in April and the least in September. The greatest number of deaths from tubcrculccis, not pulmonary, was in February.

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. The democratic voters of Marshall county have named the . ticket which that party is expected to vote in November. . This ticket was nominated, not because it was believed by a majority of democrats that these men were the best men for the places that ' could be found in the party, but because the party wished to emphatically Inform

the leaders that no democrat will be allowed to remain in office more, than four years. If Miller and Brooke had refused to be candidates and had declared themselves in favor of one term only, there would have been a half dozen candidates for auditor and clerk and several candidates for each of the other offices. Neither Singery nor Jones would have been nominated and the ticket would have been very different from that which democrats will now be asked to vote. This paper will not abuse any candidates. While we think ' that the democrats ought to have nominated a better ticket, we are willing to acknowledge that it might htve been worse and we give the voters credit for trying to do the best they could with the material they had to select from. This paper expects to advocate the success of republican principles rather than the advancement of individuals. We believe it is a good time for hundreds of democrats to join the republican party, the party to which they have naturally belonged for many years, Lut they have not had the courage to leave old associations and vote for the principles which are best for all of us. Principles, not men, should be the battle cry this year. There are hundreds of young men who should this year align themselves with the party of progress, the party that does some thing in opposition to the party that does nothing. Anybody can find fault, and the democratic party has done nothing else for more than forty years. When the people placed the government in its hands in 1892, it was as incapable in managing the affairs of government as a baby would have been In manag ing a farm or a business, and it was glad to let go of the reins and go back to fault finding again. All democrats know that this is true and most democrats know that the present policy of abusing Ameri can soldiers and the president and his advisers and lauding the enemies of the government is wrong, therefore we invite all good democrats to join the republican party and vote the republican ticket. A Prominent Democrat's View. Judge Lambert Tree of Chicago, a democratic war horse of that city, while In Washington last week, talk ed very plainly to Walter Wellman, the noted correspondent, concerning the mistake be thinks the democrats in congress are making, in attacking the American army in thePhilippines. "Democratic senators think they are not attacking the army. But they are. At least that is what the peo ple believe. The people resent it. Attacks upon an army in the field have not helped a political party in this country and never will. The people believe they have the best, the most humane and trustworthy army in the world, and they will stand by it. Our army comes from among the people, and carries the popular con fidence and affection wherever it goes Our soldiers In the Philippines labor amidst great difficulties. They wade the mud, force the jungles, face treacherv and savagery, endure the tropic sun. A great majority of the Arierican people believe they are doin the best they can and tha'j they should not be assailed at home, I never knew anything more foolish than the attempt to make a political issue out of the wrong doing of a few of our soldiers in the Philippines. Every man of sense knows the United States could not In honor scuttle out of the Philippines if we wanted to, because the people there are mere children and incapable of self government. Every man who is honest with him self knows that we have not the slightest intention of doing so. The Anglo-Saxon has: always been a land getier, and when he acquires real estate, with possession and a good title, he keeps it to the end of time, and lor the good people who dwell upon it. In trying to go against this racial instinct the democratic party, is whistling down the wind." 4 Teaching Dop Politeness. A school for dogs has been establish ed in Paris with the object of teach ing not letters but ' politeness. The schoolroom is furnished with chairs, tables and rugs to give the necessary local color" to the surroundings. The dog pupils are trained to welcome visitors by jumping up, wagging the tail and giving a low bark. When the visitor leaved the dog accompanies him to the door and bows his farewell by bending his Lead to the floor. He trained likewise to pick up a hand kerchief, glove or fan that has drop ped and to return it to the owner. He is taught, further, to walk with "Iyjd and proncinj tep3n when cut

THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES

Four Year Men Beaten for Kenomina tion AH Two Year Men Renominated Except Metsker. The democratic primaries to nom inate a county ticket last Sarurday brought out a light vote especially when the rain of Friday night made it so wet that farmers could not work and wanted a holiday. Over a thousand democrats remain ed at home or refused to vote, which may indicate that the democrats of Marshall county are satisfied with na tional affairs and are willing to give republicans the management of Mar shall county for "one term" at least. The ticket nominated is as follows: Representative, Charles Lemert; Clerk, John R. Jones; Auditor, Hoy L. Singerey; Sheriff, Clinton C. Bon durant; Treasurer, William O'Keefe; Surveyer,-Harry Grube; Coroner, Dr. J. H. Kizer; Commissioner 1st district William Troup; Second district, Joel Anglm. The vote on representative was Lemert 1271, Metsker 889. Lemert 's majority 382. Mr. Metsker carried only one town ship; that township is North and his majority there was six votes. According to Mr. Metsker 's circular. which was scattered broadcast over the county, his opponent. Mr. Lemert was never heard of in politics but once before he announced himself as a candidate for representative, and that was when his name appeared in the Republican in 1894 as an alternate del egate to a republican convention. If anv prominent democrat had ask ed for the nomination, Metsker could not have polled 300 votes in this coun For clerk, Jones had a walk-away. He received 1042 votes against 446 for Corbin and 611 for Brooke. For auditor the vote stood Singrey, 1464, Miller 787.. For sheriff Bonduranthad 1663 to 550 for Poulson. O'Keefe, Grube and Kizer had no opposition for renomination. They were two year men and for some rea son seem more popular than Metsker who stood on the same footing. It is possible, however, that they would have been beaten if there had been op posing candidates. The closest contest was for commis sioner of the first district whereTroup beats 'Wade only 95 votes. It was conceded that Wade was the best man forth 'j place, but Troup was nominated to pU.cate German township. In the second district there were four candidates for commissioner and Anglin was nominated because he lived further from Plymouth. He received 784 votes against 467 for Lee, 363 for Grossman and 401 for Fisher Walnut township is strictly "in it," That township has the county assessor one commissioner and has the candi dates for the two best offices In the county, clerk and auditor, and Elijah Martindale hails from the same place. notes. Who Is Metsker? How about the duck? Did you watch his smoke? If he only could see himself as others see him.' There are no sore spots on Metsker. He is sore all over. Only 889 of the 3,400 democrats of the county voted for his renomination. Metsy didn't care very much for the nomination anyway, but he had promised a number of his legislative friends that he would return and. he did not like to dissappolnt them. Metsker carried but one township, and that by only six votes, while Bondurant lost but one township. Both men were entitled to a renomination on account of their offices being but two year terms. "I am always willing to submit my acts to the sober reflection of the voters and am willing to take the consequences whatever they may be." Me tsker's circular dated May 19 1902. Guess the voters reflected. Metsker now believes he will be a candidate for governor in 1904. He thinks Marshall county democrats are too ignorant to appreciate great ability, but all the great men of the party know that he is the brightest and most prominent democrat in Northern Indiana. Jones publishes an independent paper, and Metsker was beaten by a man who, he says, is a republican. Metsker now realizes that while he was a big man when he pretended to be as much a republican as a democrat, he is very "small potatoes" as the editor of the Plymouth Democrat. Metsker the prominent young poli tician frequently mentioned (by him self) as the democratic candidate for congress from th3 13th district; who has been prominently mentioned (by himself) as a leader of the minority in the house, and if the democrats elect the legislature to be speaker goes down with a sickening thud.

There he was taken suddenly ill with what proved to be apoplexy. He wasjtaken to the res idenceof Adam Zumbaugh, where he remained in a stupor most of the time until his death. Deceased was In his 65th year; he was born in Sandusky county, Ohio, was the son of Abram Garn and came with his father's family to Burr Oak Flats more than forty years ago and remained a resident of the county un til his death. In his early manhood, he returned to Ohio, brought a bride back with him to this county and settled on a farm near Burr Oak. He resided there until twenty-one years ago when he removed to his fine farm west of Ply mouth, where the wife of his vouth died five years ago.

Growers are urgently advised by the trade to spray and otherwise protect and care for their trees, as it will undoubtedly be labor well repaid; for the fruit will surely all be needed this year. The crop of apples in the east will not be near so large as was expect ed, as advices from there say that much damage was done by frost and ice about the 8th to 10th of this month, something very unusual for so late in the year, which will curtail the output largely; besides the amount of apples, both green and cured, carried over from the preceding season was the smallest for years. Our western growers are altogether too neglectful and careless about this allimportant dnty of the care cf fruit trees, which is carried on with such good results in the eastern and north ern orchards.

It is merely the old story which it would seem intelligent men would learn sooner or later, namely, that an advance of prices on the assumption of a monopoly is certain to Incite disastrous competition. The only policy by which large combinations called trusts can hope to succeed is by proving an ability to' produce more cheaply than the small individual concerns and sharing with the pnblic the benefit of this ability.
