He is fully able to consolidate anything that may pre sent itself. President Palma signed the amnesty bill promptly. Perhaps he wants to get Neely off the island with all possible dispatch. Perhaps if the Boers will send for Pierpont Morgan he will organize their 815,000,000 of hard cash into something listed at 8198,000,000. Mr. Morgan has a great gift for developing occult figures. Signs oi unusual Volcanic disturbance have appeared in places as widely separated as France, Alaska and Mexico. The eruption in the West Indies is evicently due to something more than local conditions. Oregon elected two congressmen last Monday.and both are republicans, one by 6031 plurality and the other by 8172 plurality, a large gain over two rears ago. The legislature,which will elect a United States senator, is republican by 7 to 1. The Cuban congress made a great mistake in granting amnesty to Neely. That man should have been made to feel the full effects of his crime against the people whom he robbed, and it is a pity this government cannot bring him to full penalty for his treacherous betrayal. President Palma has signed the hill passed by the Cuban congress granting amnesty to all Americans under sentence or awaiting trial in Cuba. This will liberate N , andRathbone and it does not give joericans a very high opinion of Cuban honest or statesmanship. Neely and Rathbcne should be punished. The recent order of the President directing that officers under the rules of the civil service "may be removed for the benefit of the service without trial," is designed to secure efficiency, since it is often necessary to remove offenders in order to enforce discipline. Heretofore it has been necessary to file and prove charges. The New York Tribune and several other leading papers in large cities are declaring that the police force is no place for drunkards. The fact is that no place where good service is needed should be filled by a drunkard. All of the great industries refuse places to drunkards, and the country has plenty of sober men of ability to fill all responsible positions. A bit of gossip in circulation at Washington is that Judge John H. Baker is refraining from sending in his formal resignation from the federal bench until congress acts on the bill of Senator Hoar which adds a large increase to the salary " federal judges. If this bill should become a law Judge Baker would be able to retire on ths increased salary. There is not the slightest prospect, however, A. 1 4UA V!!! nrtll lAWmA , tin. T LUaL tliC Uli Villi LTOJLUG 1 14 TT. AM passed the senate over the protest of the most able senators and is being smothered slowly in the house. Congressmen do not like the idea that a federal judge should be paid more than they themselves are paid and they will not vote for it.

A VERY NARROW PARTISAN. The Independent abuses the city

council for electing a republican mem ber of the school board. When an independent editor becomes a democrat he thinks that he has to be extremely partisan to prove that he is a democrat. Daniel McDonald served for several years as a member of the school board, and always voted for a republican for treasurer of the board. The Independent man is a very narrow partisan, and is despised by all old line democrats, as was shown by the vote he received as a candidate for renomination for the legislature. The coal operators are reported to have said that they could hold out indefinitely. Undoubtedly their profits have been such m the past that they will not suffer for things to eat and clothes to wear. It may, indeed, be a long time before they can be driven to relinquish their contentions through personal necessities. In their state platforms this year the democrats are trying to give special prominence to the trusts and the tariff. They can make no votes on either issue. The tariff of the present time is acceptable to the country. On the trust question the republicans are far in advance of the democrats, for it was the republicans that passed the anti-trust act and it is the republicans who are enforcing it. The law of Pennsylvania provides that a man to become a miner must first have served two years as a laborer in the mines under the direction of a qualified miner and shall have passed an examination. This statute makes it very difficult for the anthracite operators to get a force of experienced miners at the present time. Another law which is equally binding requires the qualified miners to remain in the mines as long as any work is being done in them and forbids them to leave laborers alone in charge of them. Thus the law seems to impose obligations on both sides. The new condition in South Africa seems to be beginning well. The Boers as they lay down theirarmsgive three cheers for the King, and good feeling exists between them and the British. This is as it should be. When you have got to live with a man, enlightened selfishness says make friends with him. There will be a freedom in the Transvaal such as never existed herstofore. There will be an equality and a man's chance in the world for everyone greater than eyer before, and the most hopeful augury of the future is the heartiness with which brave men like the Boers accept the situation. Men like that will prove as sturdy in peace as in war. Richard Corbaley and Antioch. At the annual meetingof theChurch of God held at Antioch five miles south of here Saturday and Sunday last, a letter was read that came from Mr. Richard Corbaley who lives at Waterville, Wash,, and who 39 years ago donated the ground on which to build the Antioch meeting house, where each year since these gatherings have been held. Besides those from this county who were at the meeting were; J. F. Wagoner, of Rochester, D. T. Ilalstead of Rensselaer, J. S; Hatch and his daughter, Mrs. Azorah Scroggs, of Scirclevllle, Ind., G. W. Bennett and his wife, Mrs. CriCKmore of Noblesville, Ind., J. E. natch, eaitor of the Chronicle. Kempton, Ind,, Calvin Beagles of Oswego. Ind., who is over ninety years of age, and has not been able to attend for many years, T. O. Taber and wife of Marion, Ind., and J. L, Wince of Pierceton, Ind,, .besides numbers of others, Rough On Mark Twain. Once upon a time Senator Depew and Mark Twain were fellow passengers on a trip across the ocean. One night a dinner was given and Twain was called upon for a speech . He made a number of,cbacteristically humorous remarks, and then sat down amid applause. Mr. Depew was next called upon. "Mr. Clemens and I exchanged speeches before dinner," he said, "and he has delivered mine. His is so bad that I won't disgrace him by repeating It." Then Mr. Depew sat down while everybody laughed. The next morning, while Mr. Clemens was pacing the deck, an Englishman came up to him. "Mr. Clemens," he said," "1 always thought that Mr. DePew was a smart man, but that speech of bis which you delivered was certainly the worst drivel I ever heard." Washington Post. Trip of Culver Cadets. Fifteen cadets of the Culver Military Academy' under command of Maj. L. R. Gignilliat, left Chicago Tuesday for a two weeks' trip through the Yellowstone National Park. The party left over the Burlington route in a special sleeper. Capt. H. Noble, cavalry instructor in the academy, accompanied the party. The trip through the park will be made on horseback, and the regular routes will be avoided.

Durbin Declines to Be Duped. Governor Durbin should be upheld by the people of Indiana, irrespective of party, for refusing to allow the boards of health of Kentucky and Indiana to loot the state treasury. The governor does not deem that the emergenco is such as to warrant the distribution of the $50,000 emergency fund, and say: "I do not consider that there is an epidemic in southern Indiana, and I will refuse to allow the emergency fund to be used," he said. "I learn there is no smallpox in either New Albany or Jeffersonville. I also learn that in the Jeffersonville reformatory the disease prevalent is only vaccinia, a disease resulting from vaccination. I know nothing that will warrant use of the emergency fund." The people of Louisville and New Albany and Jeffersonville would have been the chief losers by the quarantine and no one would have been benefited. The idea of quarantining against New Albany when there is not a single case of smallpox in the county is preposterous. Thrre are more deaths from vaccination than from smallpox. Kentucky can bulldoze its own people to its heart's content, but Indianans should give it to understand that its bulldozing don't go north of the Ohio. New Albany PubliaPress.

We Want the Best Canal. Senator Mitchell's speech on the isthmian canal is chiefly devoted to portraying the awfulness of succeeding such "a gigantic swindle" as the Panama Canal company. Yet if we can get the work that company did at a reasonable rate, and the route is better than an other in view, would it not be better to risk this awful odium than to start a swindle of our own, especially as its results would be to swindle ourselves? What the people may reasonably be supposed to want is the cheapest and best canal possible, and they will not w rry about any crimes or follies passing with the land. The people are not to be humbugged by flamboyant talk about former swindles. Indianapolis Sentinel. Rockefeller on Friendship. In a few words John D. Rockefeller preached an eloquent sermon at the Sunday school of the Euclid avenue Baptist church. His text was' 'Friendship." Among other things, he said: 'Friendship is the one thing to be desired above all else iu this world. Wealth and great riches are not worth having if one has not friendship with them. The greatest blessing of my life, my young friends, has beento be acquainted with so many of you and fo many members of this church. Mrs. Rockefeller asked me on the way down to church what I would say to you. 1 said I did not know. She said: "Tell them to stay in the church," and I don't know anything better to tell you. I will add to this, that there is nothing in this world worth having compared with friendship. Spoiled a Chicken Stew. The "chicken oath," about which so much has been said during the past week or two, was employed in police court Wednesday, when Chin nee, charged with beheading Doc Lung with a meat cleaver, had his preliminary examination It was said that no Chinaman would tell a lie after taking the chicken oath. A Ply mouth rock hen was killed, its blood was sprinkled freely, joss sticks and incense were burned, but some of the chinks balked and refused to .take the oath. As they could not be compelled to take it they were sworn after the ordinary way and the court was left to guess how much truth or how many lies they told. A mighty good chicken stew was spoiled, however, in the effort- to make them tell the truth. Indianapolis Independent. MORTUARY John Lbtenberger. John Listenberger, of Hibbard, one of the oldest settlers and best known citizens in the southwest part of the county, died suddenly last Sun day, at the residence of Frank Triplett near Burr Oak. Mr. Lisenberger and his wife were spending the day at Mr. Trlplett's and he seemed In good health: He told bis wife that he would sit on the porch and smoke, then hitch up the team and they would start home. While smoking his head sud denly dropped, he fell from the chair and expired in a few moments. His death was probably caused by apoplexy. He was 77 years, two months and six days old, was the father of twelve children, nine of whom are living and married. He also , leaves 28 grandchildren and his wife with whom he had lived almost fifty years. He was a good citizen and many friends will be pained to hear of his demise.

Of this number 158 were in houses, 57 under trees, 291 without shelter and the remainder under unknown circumstances. This gos to show that lightning fatalities are not numerous in a population of 80,000,000 people.

Saloon Men Alarmco. Predictions of a fight in the next General Assembly to modify the liquor laws are heard since the Supreme Court decided a few days ago In favor of the power of attorney against "any and all" applicants for saloon license. The decision amounts to local option, in the opinion of leaders, in the AntiSaloon League and many saloon men. Some of the aloon keepers are advocating an organization to control the next legislature in order to enact laws that will nullify the decision of the supreme court. They are saying that the supreme and appellate courts are both republican; and they seem inclined to hold the republican party responsiole for the recent decision. The Knights of Fidelity News, a saloon keepers' paper, is advocating organization to obtain relief from the next legislature. Its editor, J . B. Wilson, says; "I predict that the decision will have the effect of wiping out 25 per cent of the saloons in Indiana It will drive them out of residence districts eventually in most cities and confine them to business districts."

Indiana a Great State. Indiana has been known throughout her history as an agricultural state, and the census bulletin shows that she is an agricultural state still, and a great one. Notwithstanding her vast advance in recent years, and particularly in the last decade, in manufactures, more than 94 percent of her acreage is included in farms. In forty years the number of farms has more than doubled, and in the last decade has increased by 12 per cent. With this increase in the number of farms has come a gradual decrease in the size of the farms. One thing that stands out amid the varyiog figures is a general advance in prosperity over the whole field of agriculture. Another thing is the variety of the crops. There are great numbers of orchards and vast varieties of vegetables grown. Floriculture flourishes, nurseries are numerous and the cultivation of tobacco has increased. Indianapolis News. A Pull Back Platform. The late democratic state convention platform is a stunner of the old fashioned kind. Three paragraphs begin with "we denounce," two with "we condemn," two "we oppose," one "we deplore, "and onewe point with pride." While the last national election 'busted" the belly-band beyond redemption, it is evident the party has repaired the breeching In order to keep their record a pull back to keep their record as a pull back organization. The democratic party never has and never will do anything but hold back while the G. O. P. elephant has simply pushed band wagon, team and all to the front in spite of all opposition. Rochester Republican. New Prison Physician. The board of control of the state prison at its recent session confirmed Warden Reid's appointment of Dr. H. L. Streaker as prison physician, succeeding Dr. B. S. Home. Dr. Streaker has been at the prison since the latter part of April, ne is a young man and comes from Logansport where he has been connected with the medical corps of Longcliff insane asylum for two years past.
