If Mr. Carnegie is still disposed to relieve a suffering people he might buy out Ireland from the English landlords and give it over from the present tenants. Justice has been done Capt. Charles E. Clark, the heroic commander of the battleship Oregon during the Spanish war, by promoting him to the grade of rear admiral. lie has certainly earned the honor. King Leopo.'d, of Belgium, is threatened with total blindness. He doesn't want to admit that this awful affliction is upon him, but those close to his highness say there is no escape. The Belgian ruler has led a fast life, and now pays the penalty. It is remarkable that 250,000 men in Indiana who declared they would never cease to shout 16 to 1 until the free coinage of silver was an accomplished fact suddenly and simultaneously discovered that there is enough primary money without the use of silver, Since the declaration of peace In South Africa It comes out that there were about 50,000 Boers in the field at the beginning of the war. This is several times as many as it was supposed they could muster, but there were three generations of them, bearing arms. "Wabash College sent 310 men to the Union armv during the civil war. A tablet dedicated to their memory was unveiled Tuesday May 17. It was erected by subsequent graduates to most of whom the war is only a memory. Wabash college is justly proud of her sons in the army. The present secretary of war is not only one of the ablest the country has ever had, fertile in suggestions for the betterment of the army and for its efficient use as an arm of the government, but he knows what r e is doing all the time and assumes responsibility for all of his acts. The people like that kind of man. The full proceedings of the democratic convention in Illinois seem to indicate that it was a meeting to determine which was the best man, ex-Mayor John P. Hopkins, of Chicago, who voted against Mr. Bryan in 1896, or the present Mayor Harrison. On tbe vote Hopkins was declared the state leader. The language used by the two men when they met, particularly by Hopkins, was animated. The American Medical Association, at its recent meeting, broke down old harriers, and voted to permit its members to be called in consultation with with physicians of the homoepathic and other schools. It is an unexpected departure, and puts a new aspect on the practice of mediane. As explained in the dispatches, the "old school" physician, under this new dispensation, is permitted, without injury to his standing, or that of his colleagues, to consult with any legally qualified practioner ofmedicine, without reference to school or pathy,

To invite Mr. Bryan to the New York club meeting without inviting him to speak was about like inviting a man to a banquet with a proviso that he was not to eat anything. The Nebraska statesman would rather speak than eat. Indianapolis Journal.

It is said that William J. Bryan was invited to be present at the Tilden Club opening in New York Thursday night, but not to speak, particular pains being taken in the invitation to assure him that his presence only was desired. The "peerless leader" has fallen upon evil times. Tom Johnson says the democratic party would be better off in Ohio if it could eliminate John R. McLean and the Cincinnati Enquirer. The Enquirer says Johnson is a sensational performer in politics with a prolific mouth. This is a sample of democratic harmony in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. The action of the senate in voting to leave the selection of an isthmian canal route to the president may be dissappointing to ardent advocates of either of the rival routes, but it Is probably a wise conclusion of the matter. The president will approach the subject without bias, or if he has any he will divest himself of it, and with a mass of information on the subject he should be able to reach a right conclusion. The non. Grover Cleveland Is not asking anybody's pardon for his past political action, and" says he does not seek absolution. He intimates pretty strongly, however, that the democratic party is in a position where a confession of error would do it no harm. Mr. Cleveland is correct, but it is not likely the party will make the admission that ;for eight years it has done nothing but blunder. Indianapolis Journal. About the time President McKinley was shot at buffalo, Johann Most, ananarchist, printed in his newspaper an incendiary article encouraging assassination. He was arrested, tried, and sentenced to a year's imprisonment in the New York penitentiary. The case was carried to the Court of Appeals, which yesterday confirmed the judgment of the lower court, and Most will serve his time in the penitentiary. The democracy is traveling right along endorsing republican statesman after they are dead and republican platforms after their principles have been shaped into laws. It is fulsome in its praise of Abraham Lincoln, Presidents Grant, Hayes, Harrison and McKinley, and a quarter of a century from now, if not sooner, the eulogies it will be paying to Roosevelt will be extravagant indeed. Great is democracy to follow when others lead. Dispatches from Rome indicate that the American plan of settling the friar lands question in the Philippines has been accepted by the Catholic Church authorities with scarcely an alteration. The transaction is one of great political importance, as well as as of financial magnitude, and its' successful completion will reflect great credit on the parties to it. It will probabiy prove the crowning act of the American policy in securing the confidence and friendship of tbe Filipinos. The American army on the 1st of June was 77,287 strong. Under the order of that date, it is being cut down to 66,497 men. The main reduction is in cavalry and infantry, the coast artillery being maintained at its old strength. The fifteen cavalry regiments after this will have 14,000 men and the thirty regiments of infantry 29,880. In cavalry, infantry, and artillery, however, the old organization will be maintained and the companies and regiments can be increased to the maximum on short notice. Grover Cleveland made a great speech in New York Thursday night. He told democrats to quit strange alliances and unite in support of old democratic doctrines. He said he was out of politics and there were those who defined his position as one of banishment instead of retirement. The speech was not heavy and labored like the usual utterances of the ex-president. It was clean cut, incisive, facetious, and from the stand point of the re-organizers one of the best that has been made. Queen Alexandra is responsible for a more novel feature of the coronation festivities than the king's dinner to 500,000 poor persons. She has decided to entertain 10,000 London servant girls at tea and to give each of them a brooch bearing a representation of her own a .d the king's head. The queen thought that, while everybody else would be in the street, the housemaids probably would be detained inside by their duties, and she determined that they should not be forgotten. Such thoughtful consideration for a class of workers who receive little sympathy explains in part the personal popularity of the queen with the common people of England.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson stated in a recent speech that the market of the Mississippi Valley is the best market in the world fcr American manufacturers, and he added that the markets which irrigation would create in the West would be of the some class. In using his influence for the acceptance of Governor Taft 's plan for the settlement of the friar lands question the Pope is said to haye expressed approval of American honesty and the moderation shown throughout the entire negotiations. It is a new victory for frank and straightforward American diplomacy. The gifts made for public purposes, in the United States, the British Isles and Canada, by Andrew Carnegie, amount in the aggregate to $67,000,000. Of this sum about $52,000.000 was assigned to the United States. Scotland received $13,000.000. Canada got about $900,000 and England over $400,000. About a quarter of a million went to Cuba, and Ireland received $65,000. Dr. Albert Shaw, editor cf the Re view of Reviews, in a late address to graduates and students of the University of Chicago said: "Not only is it not In the least true that money, capital, mere dead material possessions, are getting the better of human flesh and blood, and that mankind is coming under a new form of slavery, but exactly the" opposite is true. Capital and labor, of course, mustcontinne to associate with one another, but of the two it is labor that constantly grows stronger." A Very Weak Party. We have no idea that there is anything In the much-talked-of Cleveland boom for presidency. David Gilbert, secretary of the Manhattan Club, New York, is jquotad as saying that the whole thing rests with Mr. Cleveland, and also that his "present mental and bodily vigor" are unimpaired. If his mental vigor is as great as Mr. Gilbert thinks it tobe, Mr. Cleveland will make short work of the third term "movement" in his behalf. There Is no man in the country who stands higher today than Mr. Cleveland. He Is, indeed, our first citizen. In his dignified retirement he exerts an influence on the political thought of the country that is by no means slight. People know that he is absolutely honest and disinterested, and that he has no selfish aims or purposes to serve. When he speaks, therefore we all know that he speaks the .truth exactly as he sees it. He has served his country and his"party faithfully and well. And both owe much to him. Those who are really jealous for Mr. Cleveland's fame will be the last to urge him to do anything to weaken his influence or to stain the luster of his record. If there is only one man in the country whom the democratic party thinks that it might be able to elect, it is weaker even than its bitterest enemies have thought. Indianapolis News. A Good Canal Bill. It must appear to fair minded people that the bill which the senate has passed to secure an isthmian canal is a much better measure than one binding the country to a single route, and that a route much the longest and difficult to utilize. If the two routes had equal merits the senate bill puts the country in a position to get that which is offered upon the more favorable terms. It has been said the pend'hg bill will not pass the house. That may be true, but for the prohosition to substitute the Panama for the Nicaragua route the house gave nearly two-fifths of its votes at a time when the offer of the French company to sell its property had not been made. So far as the senate bill is concerned, it was passed because, in a full debate, the Panama route appeared the better by all odds, and more the more It was discussed the greater the advantage of that route appeared; Indianapolis Journal. Tobacco Habit Is Bad. Bishop Nicholson, of the Milwaukee Episcopal diocese, has created a mild sensation among the priests and laity of the diocese by issuing a sort of pronunciamento against the use of tobacco. The ' bishop maintains that there is not one trace of spiritual help or physical gain from the use of tobacco, but untold evils have resulted from its use. The extent to which the bishop's abhorrence toward tobacco goes is evidence by the statement that if it is true tnat Sir Walter Raleigh introduced tobacco into England, "'tis a pity that the ship that carried him did not sink in the ocean. " Will Favor Educated Men. The Lake Shore and Michigan Central propose to give high school and college graduates the preference in appointments as firemen for next winter. It is officially announced that after the applicants have passed a physical examination and satisfied the officials as to their moral and mental excellence, the indispensable qualification will be a common school education. All other things being equal, the applicant having the highest education will get the preference.

Eruption Foretold in 1892. While the biggest catastrophes that make history, apparently come without warning, after they are over it is often easy to see that they have been foretold. Forty thousand persons were wiped out by the eruption of Mont Pelee. But even this disaster, the saddest since Pompeii, was predicted. In 1892, almost exactly ten years before Pelee sent forth death, M. Maturin Ballon, one of France's best known geographical explorers, made a remarkable prediction. In his "Equatorial America, " after referring to the former eruption of the mountain, be said: "Once or twice since then ominous mutterings have been heard from Mont Pelee, which, it is confidently expected will one day deluge St. Pierre with ashes and lava, repeating the story of Pompeii." With what terrible accuracy this prediction was carried out the long death roll at Martinique shows. Similar callousness under such conditions is not unusual and has not been since the days of Noah, when "they ate, drank and were given in marriage until the flood came and carried them away." Each town, every community, like each individual man or woman, feels that whoever meets fate, it will not be I, And but for this optimism life would not be worth the living. New York Press. Notre Dame and St. Mary's. Thursday closed the annual commencement events at Notre Dame university and St. Mary's academy, the two famous educational institutions of which South Bend is justly proud. They were never in more prosperous condition than now, never looked more charming with the wealth of green foliage and of flowers in their spacious grounds, and no commencement season was ever attended by fairer weather or a larger number of visitors. Friends and patrons of college and academy were here from all over the United States and not only enjoyed the beauties of nature with which the massive buildings of both institutions are surrounded but were most hospitably entertained. The graduating classes are larger than ever before in" the history of these great places of learning, and the exercises of an unusually interesting nature. South Bend Tribune. One-Sided Harmony. Mr. Cleveland's speech before the Tilden Club will be widely read, but the reading will not add to the cheerfulness of those who are seeking some kind of a compromise by which all the elements that have ever called themselves democrats can get together. If there are democrats whom it will please they are those who did not vote for Mr. Bryan in 1896 and 1900. The tens of thousands who voted for Mr. Bryan and the Bryan platforms, even if they did not oelieve in them, are rebuked by Mr. Cleveland, and all are told that "there Is no hope in new and gaudy issues and in the interpretation of strange visions." In nearly every paragraph there is an attack upon the democratic policies of the past eight years and a declaration that he will not act with any organization of the party which does not mean the utter repudiation of Bryanism. In the words of Mr. Bryan, Mr. Cleveland will be a democrat if the democratic party shalL be "Clevelandized, "Indianapolis Journal. A Beef Steak Story. Seven years ago a newly married man started from his home in an eastern city for the butcher shop to buy a beef steak, ne forgot his errand and did not return. Searching parties failed to find him. After waiting three years his wife gave him up for dead, and remarried. The second husband died and the other day the "widow" was shocked when her first husband walked into the house and handed her a beef steak. He could not remember a thing of his past life. He came to himself in Fort Wayne. The present price of meat probably "brought him to." Rochester Sentinel. Try. Try, Try A gain. John D. Whitton and Augusta Scott wera married on Sunday at the Christian Church parsonage at Rushville Ind., the Rev. W. W. Sniff officiating. On Oct. 12, 1882, Mrs. Whitton married John B. Scott. Her name at that time wis given as Fannie A. McKee. She was afterward divorced from Scott and on Sept. 6, 1890, married John D. Whitton. Some time after this she was divorced from Whitton and again married John B. Scott. She was again divorced from Scott and last Sunday married Whitton. Both men live In the same neighborhood. Burden of Proof on State. The supreme court announced Wednesday morning that the ruling law in Indiana is that when two men have a fight, ana one of them is afterward prosecuted for assault and battery, if ha claims that he did it in self defense, he does not have to prove that it was in self-defense, but the" state has to prove the assault was unprovoked .

Secretary Root's Secrecy. Secretary Root "has assumed full responsibility for the " payment of money to General Gomez by General Wood during the American occupancy of Cuba, and if congress asks for an explanation, he stands prepared to give the most convincing proof that the payments were dictated by the wisest statesmanship." We have not a particle of doubt of it. A man of unquestioned ability and of the loftiest aim. Secretary Root has from the beginning of his official term, been ready to assume responsibility. It may not be forgotten, perhaps, that during the Spanish war more than once when congress called on the executive for information, the secretary of war bluntly refused to give it on the plea that it was against public policy, and so act after act has finally come to the surface accredited to Mr. Root. We have a great admiration far the secretary's ability. Above all, he is one of those few men in the world that gets things done. The world is full in every office and avenue of men that are great on dress parade, but the world is ever poor for the services of men that can iot merely take orders, but that can see that the orders are executed. Secretary Root belongs to this rare class of men, and well has he served his country in a critical time. But it begins to look by this last revelation as a deduction from previous acts of the same kind as if he had a love for autocracy and secrecy. It is not a question as to whether General Gomez should have been paid money. It is a question of doing things in a high handed manner. This country is not used to it, and we hope that it never will be used to it. Of all people in the world, we most demand publicity. We are almost barbarian in our publicity, and the tendency of our life is to increase, rather than diminish this publicity. As a people we do not relax grasp of public affairs when we elect an administration. The people believe that they are always to be consulted. Because of this characteristic the people find out with regret that such things have been done as the secret pensioning of Gomez on authority of the secretary of War. Indianapolis News. Picture Will Become Classic. "People who travel over the Monon j between Indianapolis and Chicago," said a man yesterday, "are attracted by a picture in a window of a house in the town jf Oakley, Carroll county. The house stands near the railroad, and the picture can be plainly seen from the car windows. It is a picture of William Jennings Bryan. It was put In that window in 1896 when Bryan first became a candidate, it is said, so far as I can learn, it has never been removed. Rain or shine, night and day,the face of the great silverite is always looking from that window. I have not been able to learn who lives in the house, but I have my opinion of why the picture is kept there. You have heard of a man allowing his hair or his whiskers to grow out long and declaring he would never cut them until so and so was elected to some particular office. Now, that's the way I have this case figured out. I imagine that man put that picture in the window when Bryan was nominated and declared he would never remove it until Bryan was elected president." Wants a Democratic Party. The Richmond Sun, one of the oldest democratic papers in the state, is afraid the party is going to be republicanized. It says: The democrats who hope to carry elections by adopting republican platforms will be wofully mistaken, when the votes are counted. The Sun-Telegram believes in "getting together", but if "getting together" means committing the party to republican policies then we must say in t he language of a prominent politician now dead and gone. "There is no necessity for two republican parties. The one we have is bad enough; two would make neither of them better. Let us have a democratic party or abandon It entirely. Let it be the genuine article and not a bastard. Mrs. Maybrick May Be Pardoned. It is said that King Edward may include Mrs. Florence Maybrick in the list of prisoners to be pardoned in commemoration of his coronation. She has now been in prison thirteen years, having been arrested, tried and condemned to death in August. 1889, for the ,alleged murder of her husband Her sentence was commuted to imprisonment for life on the ground that there was a reasonable doubt whether the death of her husband was caused by poison. A great number of -prominent Americans have endeavored to secure her pardon, but thus far without success. Indiana Dairy Products. The census bulletin on cream, butter cheese and condensed milk products, issued Tuesday, shows that Indiana has 75 butter factories 26 cheese factories and 11 factories where two or more milk products are produced. The number of milk product factories more than doubled in Indiana between 1890 and 1900.

Five Boys Steal a Yacht. Five Chicago boys are held in custody at Michigan City for stealing the yacht, Fox. from its wharf in Chicago, the youths having made their way across the lake. The boys told the police of Michigan City that they had spent a night and a day battling with the waves. They had not gone far when a squall arose which nearly capsized the yacht. They said they were familiar with the workings of a yacht and it was only this that saved them from drowning. Tell your neighoors about the good qualities of The Tribune.
