Bryan denounces Cleveland's idea of harmony as presented in bis speech at the Tilden dinner.

h Every democrat leader professes to want harmony, but he continues to toot his own horn, in utter disregard of the other members of the band. If it was the purpose of Mr. Cleveland in his latest address to bury the hatchet in regard to Bryanism he seems to have left an ax as a headstone to mark the spot. Mr. Cleveland's addresses still deal with what he conceives to be an ideal tariff, but the tariff his party made during his administration was a monstrosity and a calamity. With the democrats using republican speeches and the republicans using democratic speeches, the coming campaign may not be full of sweetness, but it ought to be full of light, thinks the Indianapolis News. The clanger of some peaceful occupations are strikingly illustrated by the fact that more workers are killed and wounded annually In the anthracite mines of Pennsylvania than soldiers were killed and wounded in all the fighting of the campaign of Cuba, The men who are directing the coal strike do not seem to know that they and the operators an? not the only ones injured. If they would sop to inquire they might learn that that a prolonged strike is not tempered with so much justice as they assert. President Roosevelt has sent to the house a veto of the bill removing the charge of desertion from the record of Ephriam II. Gallion, who served in a Tennessee volunteer regiment during the civil war. The president cites the records of the war department to show that the record of desertion should be allowed to stand. An Illinois judge, addressing a class of college graduates, said: 'We do not need laws in the state of Illinois as much as we need the right kind of men. I do not care who writes the law if the people do not live up to it. "We want the public sentiment to embrace the law." It is the same on this side of the state line. Emperor William's speech at Axi-la-Chapelle was a singularly frank expression of his strong religious convictions and of his desire that Protestants and Catholics should dwell together in peace and co-operate for the promotion of Christianity. The emperor has never made a public utterance that did him more honor than this one. Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal says Grover Cleveland has beenan office seeker since the day he was twenty -one years old and has constantly worked for his own success regardless of others. lie says Cleveland betrayed the democratic J arty and left it leaderless and now aspires to be its candidate for president a fourth time. It is pretty definitely settled that a successor to Judge John H. Baker will not be appointed until after election. Judge Baker is not averse to remaining on the bench, but does not wish toremain if the president desires to make a change. As the matter stands it up to the president to decide"jwhetherjthings shall continue as they are or whether one of the several anxious aspirants 'shall be given Judge Baker's job. J , David B. Hill says the American people want tobe relieved of high prices. This is a doubtfu .. statement. The farmers are willing to .take, high prices for hogs, cattle, grain and all other farm products and the laborers are not anxious to be relieved of their wages. The sum total cf the, results of the last democratic administration was to reduce prices and wages, and it has been the result of every democratic administration this country ever ha1. The pension roll at the end of the last fiscal year included more names by 4,206 than at the corresponding date the year before. The list included 607,735" names on July 1 last. There were added" to the rolls during the year the names of 42,225 new pensioners, while those of 3,597 were renewed .and restored. In all, 43,586 names were dropped, of which 38,152 were in consequence of death. As a result of the war with Spain 5,604 were added: The total amount 'disbursed was $131,568,216.

;. Fifteen thousand (or 1, per cent.) of the 15,000,000 families in the United States own more than one-half of the aggregate wealth of the country.

At a meeting of the democratic state central committee last we2k.it was agreed to begin the state 3 ampalgn about the middle of Sept :nber. From California Qthis year 26,000 carloads of oranges and lemD-is, "00 cars of English walnuts, 400 cars of almonds and 1,200 of dried apricots have been shipped. Washington correspondents report that Indiana's representatives in congress are a unit for the canal bill as it passed the senate. That is the way they should be. Herr Most shed tears when taken to prison for one year. It is strange how tender-hearted those apostles of murder can be when an inconvenience comes to themselves and how gleeful when they plunge a whole nation in mourning. - Mr. Bryan in accordance with his threat has begun active preparations to prevent the Clevelandizing of the democratic party and Mr. Cleveland feels impelled to use his utmost efforts to prevent the further Bryanizing of the democratic party. The democratic state organization gives it out that while there are still a few Bryan commandos at large in the hills most of the free silver burghers have surrendered their arms and taken the oath of allegiance to King Mammon and the powers of Wall street. An American missionary named Canright has telegraphed to Pekin from Chengtu Fu in the province of Suchwan, saying, saying that the Methodist chapel there has been destroyed aud ten Chinese converts have been killed by boxers. Mr. Canright also says that the boxer movement is spreading in that region. W. J. Bryan says; 'The fight is on between a democracy that means democracy and a Clevelandism which means plutocracy. Every speech made by Mr. Cleveland shows more clearly the odiousncss of the policies for which he stands. We have more to fear from those who, like Mr. Hill, indorse Mr. Cleveland's views, but conceal their real purpose in ambiguous language." A caucus of democratic members of the house will be held at Washington Friday night to consider the tariff and trusts, with a view to making these subjects foremost in the coming campaign for congress. The first move in this direction was made by the democratic congressional committee, and the petition for the caucus was circulaeed Tuesday by Chairman Griggs of that committee. Governor Durbin believes that the convict labor system should be reformed by the next legislature. That is why several labor leaders were called to Michigan City this week to inyestigate the convict labor svstera. All the contracts for convict labor expire in 1904 and it will be the business of the next legislature to ratify or change the convict employment system. This is certainly an age of great things for the United States. No sooner has anew republic been launched into history and a group of promising islands been put in a fair way for development than our national legislators begin to bind the commerce of two oceans bv an interoceanic canal. The best thing of it all is that in the meantime the internal conditions of national activity are most prosperous. It is said thaf the king of England up to the last moment tried to avoid an operation and was willing to be carried to the abbey for the coronation ceremony. But the kings doctor's believe that he would have been dead before this morning if the operation had not been performed. Intense swelling of the extremities accompanied by alarming symptoms of mortifications were the reasons for an immediate operation:. The worst punishment that Estes G. Rathbone can receive is the public sentiment he meets that condemns his crime. But Neely does not seem to suffer from it. He is of the tough hide that has been .tanned to endure the condemnation by years of rascality. We have far more sympathy for Rathbone for his sensitiveness, and because of his evident desire that he be given a chance to prove his innocence. Elkhart Review I The South Bend Times has almost i lost hope of democratic harmony. It says, "We have heard from Cleveland, Watterson, and Bryan. The bugle blasts that emanated from the two latter partake more of the character of an explosion than the gentle cooing of the turtle dove. It begins to look as if the only chance for peace lay in the direction of enforced silence. And that won't do. Politics can't be carried on in silence." I

.v Ninety American soldiers have died of cholera in the Philippines and over 6,000 natives have perished since the .epidemic began.' ' v f ii ii . The celebrated reform administration of Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland seems even-more fruitful in ! scandals than an ordinary political administration so despised of reformers. The latest is the production at a council meeting by a reform alderr man of $2.000 with which he asserted a corporation had tried to buy hi? i vote.' Yet if the alderman was a real reformer how was it that anybody should have even dared to try to bribe him? The populists and democrats of Kansas nominated a fusion ticket Tuesday, and endorsed William Jennings Bryan and his platform. Senator Harris brought forth cheers from the democrats when in his address before the convention he announced that the aational policy of the demo cratic party would continue as at present. He scored those who proposed to return to the democracy of the past and said that the democrats had come to the place occupied by the populists' and that they should ''get together."

The Cuban Tariff Question. Walter Well man, the Washington correspondent writes as follows: In the western horizon the republican leaders here see a cloud a good deal larger than a man's hand. It is the cloud of unrest on the tariff question. From President down, the big men of the party are watching that cloud and wondering what it is to bring forth. Ex-President Cleveland's advice to his party to drop minor and doubtful issues and concentrate upon the excessive tariff and the tariff-bred trusts has added something to the size of the cloud. DefeaV of the administration on Cuban reciprocity has put a darker tinge upon the western horizon. Those who wish' to really understand the remarkable situation now existing here in Washington should bear In mind that the impending division of the republican party into high tariff and low tariff wirgs is the fundamental difficulty. Western men have talked general tariff revision, have favored concessions to the growing sentiment in the West, at least to the extent of remodeling some of the worst of the schedules. Eastern men have replied; "Oh, no; we must not torch the tariff. Let well enough aloLe. We will not revise the schedules. But this much we are willing to do-rWe are willing" to "reduce "the tariff .on sugar coming in from Cuba." "What!" has been the retort of the western republicans; Syou will not have an Vi revision on iron and steel and such things that the East is interested in, but vou will make a cut on sugar, about the only article that gives the West any benefit out of the protective system? You will not interfere with the protection of eastern manufactures, but you will pay our debt to' Cuba by taking it out of the western farmers? Never!" This is the "inside" of the Cuban row. This is the human nature,' the sectionalism, the essence of it. A remarkable feature of the case is that in the West public opinion does not appear to uphold the contention of western senators und representatives. The Wes't is willing to grant justice to Cuba, even at a little cost to icself. Anyone who oceks to explain this seeming anomaly must do it upon the following basis: The broadest, most generous, most patriotic people of the United States now live In the Mississippi Valley. In the East there is apathy as to government politics. In the West there is the keenest sort of interest. The East does not care if a promise which McKinley made to Cuba is broken by the congress. The West does, care, and the West is willing to pay the price of keeping that promise. Sam Bryant Ready to Die. "I have seen the.erby. and now I am ready to die, " were the parting words of SamBryant, the venerable Kentucky horseman, as he boarded a train for his home in Louuisville Saturday night. The old gentleman, a familiar figure on every race course in America for the last fifty years, had himself taken to the course at Washington Park Saturday morning so that he might be rested for the great eventIn the afternoon. He lay most of the day on a couch at the stables of Press West, and when the bugle call' came for the Derby he was carried out to the track, where he was held up to view his last race. When the last horse had crossed the line he was carried back again to the couch, where he rested until it was time to leave for the train. A Wonderful Change. The district south and east of Nappanee, which a few years ago was a tamarack marsh, the land not valued at over $2 to $5 per acre, is now a most productive expanse of prairie on which over 450 acres of onions are being raised, bounteous crops of potatoes, corn, etc., and the land is held at from 150 to $100 per acre.

A Ticket and a Platform. The Ipdianapolis Sentinel suggests as a national democratic ticket in 1904: For President Grover Cleveland of New Jersey. For Vice President William J. Bryan of Nebraska, The suggestion is a good one. A little trouble might arise in patching up a platform on which such a combination wonld stand at one and the same time, but democratic leadership being in a compromising mood, what is the matter with adopting the following recent expression of both peerless leaders as the party shibboleth? 4 'No one here should be offended by the suggestion that the democratic party's capital and prospects have been seriously impaired since Mr. Tilden was elected president. Then and afterward northern democratic states were not curiosities, northern democratic senators, now practically extinct, now almost never seen, were frequently encountered. Another party may thrive on the ever shifting treatment of the ever-shifting methods of popular restlessness, or by an insincere play upon nothing but popular prejudice and selfish anticipation,but the democratic party never. I want to see before I die the restoration to perfect health and supremacy a democracy true to itself, untempted by clamor, unmoved by the gusts of popular passion, and uncorrupted by offers of strange alliance. Grover Cleveland. Are you opposed to giving the control of the party organization into the hands of the skulkers and shirkers who sold out the democracy in le'96 and 1900, and who seek now to secure the leadership of tha party they betrayed?" William J. Bryan. McCrory's Mail Route. Having been asked a few times who on my mail route had the best farm and crops I will make this statement. The best farm is hard to designate correttly as there are many fine ones as you mry know when I tell you there are over fifty good frame barns and 103 mail kboxes. Mr. Jacob Lee has an eighty acre tract that would suit me as well as any of like size. The best building house barns and out buildings, are those of Ely B. Milner. The best barn alone is that jof Nicholas Dietl, though there are a number of other tine ones. The best house alone, is doubtless that of Welcome Miller. The best kept farm all around is that of Nicholas Dietl. These honors would be easily won by Robert Brundige but for the lack of paint on buildings all else being in : his favor. The best field of wheat is on II. Ilumrichouser's farm, put on by Messrs. Jacob and Nathan Lee. The best patch of corn is that of Jacob Keyser and the best field of corn that of Schuyler Keyser: of oats Mark Jacoby, rye Nathan Lee, potatoes Adam Hensel, clover E. A. Zimmer, timothy Peter Strowderman. On clover and .timothy mixed honors are divided between Robert Brundige and B. J. Cramer; and Elias Sherer has the best field of barley. The best general purpose team of horses are owned by Solomon Stockman, best herd of cattle by J. A. Myers, Hogs Berkshire Nathan Lee, Jersey Reds Fralich Brothers. The best herd of high bred grade cattle is that of iTalich Brothers, sheep Travis Brothers, turkeys Mrs. Emma E, Kizer, geese Mrs. Ida B. Shell, chickens Mrs. S. Casper. The largest Apiary that of Wm. Zimmer, the best kept that of James Berkey. There are many well kept full gardens but that, of Mrs. II. Fogel is surely the equal of any other. The largest and best, most productive general fruits are those oi Fralick Brothers, the best strawberries knowledge gained by actual trial are in Mrs. Samuel Casper's garden, and Miss Louise Cox bakes most excellent doughnuts as I know by .experience. The best piece of .timber is on the Conrad Zimmerman's farm. As the town is becoming full of distemper in horses it might be well for horsemen to know that an almost sure preventive is to feed a little pine tar three times a week. The above items are'gleaned simply from observation and may not be absolutely correct, even as I would see things on closer inspection. - Killed Thirty-one Persons. Jane Toppan a nurse, who was sent to Taunton ' Insane asylum by a jury at Barnstable, Mass., where she was tried for the murder of Mrs. Mary D. Gibbs, has made a confession to her senior counsel, Judge - Frederick M. Bixby, that she killed thirty-one persons. They were patients whom she nursed. Miss Toppan was suspected of causing the death of eleven ' persons and was indicted for murdering three. She was Monday declared insane. Judge Bixby also said Miss Toppan had admitted she bad set fires and committed other serious acts. She said she could not help committing the crimes. She said she was not insane. Morphine , was Miss Toppan 's agency, for producing death. Many of her victims were unsuspecting and her most intimate friends; others were the patients of reputable physicians who employed here on account of her ability as a nurse.

Going to Denver, Colorado. Mr. John W. Parks has been appointed as a state delegate from Indiana to the international Sunday school convention, to be held at Denver. The convention meets on Thursday and will continue over till next Monday. Mr. Parks left Tuesday evening for Chicago, where all delegates east of Chicago were to center, and after a reception held in the Y. M. C. A., hall, the delegates departed on Tuesday night on special trains. At Lincoln, Neb., all trains met and went from there in sections, arriving at Denver Wednesdav night. The international organization includes the United States, Alaska, Canada, Porto Rico and Mexico and each country will be represented by delegates. The basis of representation in the state is four delegates for each 150,000 people. Indiana sends four delegates. This is the second national body of this kind to which Mr. Parks has gone as a delegate, he having represented his state at the World's Sunday school convention held in London four vears ago. St. Michael's Academy, The academy closed a very successful year, Monday and the closing exercises Monday evening were very largely attended and everybody was interested and pleased. The music, marches, recitations, dialogues and plays by the junior girls and boys elicited merited applause. The play presented by the seniors was one of the best entertainments ever given by the schools in this city. At its conclusion the medals were distributed, the closing advice was given, the farewell chorus was sung, and the pupils began their vacation. Debauched His Party. William Jennings Bryan, in his paper, "The Commoner," this week reviews ths speech of Grover Cleveland at the Tilden banquet, from which we take the following extracts: Having debauched his party he was offended by its effort to reform and gave comfort to the enemy. Virginius killed his daughter to save her chastity: Cleveland stabbed his party to prevent its return to the paths of virtue. And now, still gloating over his 'political crimes, he invites the party to return to him and apologize for the contempt which it has expressed for him- Will it? Not until the principles of Jefferson are forgotten and the words of Jackson cease to inspire. He continues: 'IIe, Cleveland, secured his nomination in 1892 by a secret bargain with the financiers: his committee collected from the corporations and spent the largest campaign fund the party ever had; he filled his cabinet with corporation agents' and placed railroad "attorneys on the United States bench to look after the interests of their former clients. He turned the treasury over to a Wall street syndicate, and the financial member of his official family went from Washington to become the private attorney of the man who forced (?) the Treasury Department to sell him government bonds at 105 and then resold them at 117, .He tried to prevent the adoption of the income tax proviison, refused to sign the only tariff reform measure passed since the war and while thundering against the trusts in his message did even les than Knox has done to interfere with their high handed methods. His administration instead of being a fountain of democracy sending forth pure and refreshing streams became a stagnant pool from whose waters foul vapors arose, poisonous to those who lingered near. MORTUARY

David Fertig. David Fertig, one of the old sutlers of Marshall county, died at his home in West township,-. Saturday evening aged 89 years. Deceased was an honest industrious citizen, who had experienced in a great measure all the hardships incident to pioneer life. He had many 'ups and downs" but was always comparatively cheerful. About three years ago he and his wife were thrown from their buggy at the railway crossing west of this city and both were badly hurt, but Mr. Fertig's injuries were such that it seemed that be could survive but a few days at most. While he never recovered, he lived longer than many younger persons would with so many broken bones. He leaves three daughters living and one son, Mr. Frank Fertig, of this city. Funeral services were held at Trinity church in West township at 1 o'clock Monday afternoon. His Final Instructions. An old darky who was fearful of being buried alive left these final instructiOLs: "Atter my time come lemme stay ezlong ez possible, Don't make de funeral sermont to long, kaze. dat'll make me sleep only de sounder; bnt blow de dinner ho'n over me. Ef dat don't wake me, I is sho' gone."

Labor Men at Michigan City. The official representatives of labor organizations are investigating, at the suggestion of Governor Durbm, the conditions existing under the contracts for prison labor. These contracts cannot be extended beyond 1904. Under these agreements a considerable part of the convicts are employed on contracts. The amount received by the state for eonvict labor for the six months ending with April was $26,922.28. The question is how this labor can be disposed of when it cannot be sold to contractors. Governor Durbin has Invitdd the representatives of labor to look the matter over with a view of making sugges

tions. It is a wise move on the part of the governor to consult the labor leaders on a subject in which they have always taken a deep interest.
