There are a great many stump speeches being made in congress nowadays and In this sort of work Mr. Landis is one cf the best.
If there are any more efforts on the part of the democratic leaders to promote harrr ony, there will be a fight worth goin miles to see.
Now that 2Ir. Cleveland, Mr. Watterson and Mr. Bryan have spoken their respective minds the average democrat may aslr, what next?
If one were to dwell too long npon the records of official dishonesty he could soon tx; convinced that office holding is sure to devastate the conscience.and public offices are organized schools of instruction in methods of public plunder. But there are honest officials left. Elkhart Review.
The democrats of Pennsylvania have nominated Robert Pattison, of Philadelphia as their candidate for governor. This Is the third time In 25 years that Mr. Pattlcon has headed the democratic ticket and he is the only democrat elected governor of Pennsylvania since the civil war.
The Indiana war claim has passed congress as originally presented, thus assuring the refunding to the state of
about 8635,000 expended in raising and equipping soldiers in the war for the Union. The essential justice of
the elaim has never been questioned,
but its payment was refused on vari
ous technicalities.
The democrats and populist of Nebraska, Kansas, and South Dakota have pooled their interest and have
nominated fusion tickets, lnts is a
continuation of the policy that pre
vailed up to and including 1900.
The civil war claim, amounting to
8636,000, which Indiana will receive in
a short time from the federal treasury
will be used in making a million-dollar
payment on the state debt. It will go
toward making the largest single pay
ment ever made on the state's indebt
edness. When the amount is paid the debt will be cut to 1,312,000, which can be liquidated before 1905. In addition, there Is $1,035,000 which cannot be paid oft before that year.
The Orinoco river, which flows across Venezuela, is uninteruptedly navigable from the Colombian frontier to the Atlantic, a distance of 1,000 or 1,200 miles, Within the last few weeks this highway of commerce has been opened to Colombia, and Venezuela will benefit thereby as well as all of the great eastern district of Colombia. A port on the Orinoco may be a peacemaker between the two republics.
The standard of political morals in the larger sense, like the standards of ethics and religion, must necessarily be based upon inquiry not as to what is "safe, " but as to what is "right. " And when political parties depart from this standard when they fuse confessedly for mere office Instead of consolidating for principle their activities cease to be political and become purely commercial, and their adherents aie no longer citizens contending for their convictions of righteousness, but merely speculators 'getting in on the ground floor."
The Boer war lasted thirty-two months and cost the British 7,792
killed in action and 13,250 victims of
disease, a total of 21,042. If the
Boers lost half as many the conflict
was one of the biggest little wars in
history.
The Hon. Robert E. Pattison, who
once upon a time was governor of Pennsylvania, has been nominated for that office by the democratic party
for the fifth time. As as a perpetual
candidate Mr. Pattison Is believed to
have broken the record.
The United States Geological socie ty has just issued a bulletin announc
irig that Indiana now stands fifth among the states in the production of petroleum. The annual product of
the state Is over 5,000,000 barrels.
Ex-President Cleveland in his
speech in New York last week did not
fail to declare the whole gospel of democracy as he understood it. lie, however made no mention of Imperialism or the Philippine islands. He must have forgotten these important items.
The governor and his committee have no small problem on their hands in seeking to find something for convicts to do and yet not conflict with the anti-prison labor contract law. That question has required the mental effort of the best minds and is not yet settled.
The election of John P. Hopkins as
chairman of the democratic state committee of Illinois, is notice to Carter
narrison and his Chicago henchman
that the state, outside of Chicago, has no use for them. It also signifies that Bryan no longer dominates the party in Illinois.
Congressman Crumpacker of Ind
iana was assigned to a very important
duty when he was made one af the
conferees on the part of the house on
the Philippine civil 'government bill.
He is a stickler for the house provision
giving the Filipinos a lower branch of
the Philippine legislature and a voice
in their own government.
"William Jennings Bryan, after be
ing among the "also rans" for presi
dent of the United States in two great events, evidently felt it would be greatly beneath his dignity to accept
the fusion nomination for governor of Nebraska, and refused the proferred nomination. In this he was wise,
however. lie saved himself another defeat.
There was a warm fight over the
proposal to mention the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence
in the Illinois state platform, and the
friends tof the Constitution and the Declaration got the worst of it. The
argument was that If the Illinois democrats were to forget something as recent as the Kansas City platform,
they ought not to assume to remember anything that was written 125 years ago.
The first week's operation of the new fast mail service started on the 15th Inst, between New York, Chlca go and St. Louis and intermediate cities, according to special reports received at the Postoffice Department, has resulted in a gain of one business day in St. Louis and all points beyond and practically the same gain is represented at Pittsburg and all Pennsylvania points west of Altoona. There are a great many side lines on which the gain will be as great as on the through lines. .
The recent harmony banquet of the
democrats in New York brought out
the rare specimen of a member of that party who had actually declined two
offices. He was a newspaper man by the name of Brooks, whom Cleveland had appointed to two different foreign
consulates, both of which were declined because the salary was not sufficient to meet the expense attach
ed to the positions. Mr. Cleveland
sought out Brooks and shook his hand
twice, regarding him as the only democrat in existence with such a record.
Public scandals seem to be growing In number, if we are to judge by de
velopments at St. Louis, where the
Traction company distributed its
money to corrupt the common council into stealing franchises; in Chicago, where bribery of public officials is
openly charged; in Milwaukee, where
the mayor went wrong; In Cleveland,
where one of the gas companies gave
a councilman $2,000 to oppose an ordinance in favor of a rival company, and
half dozen other cases might be
cited. The regret is that the rascals
In the corporations cannot be reached.
Indiana's War Claim Allowed. Over the protest of a democratic member of congress from Tennessee, Indiana's war claim for $635,859.20 has passed the house. The amount in the not far distance future be transferred to tne Indiana treasury, and
will soon be applied to the further reduction of the state's vanishing debt. The return of this money to the Ind
iana treasury breaks the force or a plank in the democratic state platform of 1864, which declared: "That we
disapprove and condemn the action of
Governor Morton in establishing a 'financial bureau', an institution unknown to the constitution, the laws and the usages of the state of Indiana; in securing, disbursing and squandering the funds of tha state
in borrowing" money on tha faith of
the state and pledging the property and the energies of the people to pay such loans and interest thereon, and in paying out such money In open and flagrant disregard of the constitution and laws of the state, without any appropriation directing the payment thereof, and without any of the checks and safe-guards that the wisdom and experience of the past have demonstrated were necessary for the safety, preservation and economical expenditure of the money of the people of the state." When it is remembered that every dollar allowed under this claim has been appropriated only after careful auditiDg in the treasury department at Washington, it will be seen that the money in question was not squandered, and that despite the absence of "checks and safeguards', every cent was properly accounted for by Indi
ana's great war governor.
A Cannibal Diocese. The Jbisliop of New Guinea, who
has come to England after four years' work among the cannibals in that is
land, has given Reuter's representa
tive an interesting account of his ex
periences, bpeaklng or cannibalism,
the bishop remarked: "So innate is this habit that even the children in
the mission schools during the inter
vals between lessons play at being
participants in a cannibal feast and perform the dances which accompany that awful practice.
"The last year has been a particu
larly sad on: for the white population,
for in February two white diggers
were killed and eaten while on their way to the gold field. Two months
later the heroic missionary, James
Chalmers, a white assistant; and
twelve natives met a similar fate. Last
September I was brought the jaw
bone of a boy, with strips of flesh
still adhering to it the relics of a cannibal feast on the Kumasi river,
on three miles from the coast."
The bishop explained how he had
to act as chief pig-sticker at a great
event. It was the biggest function of the kind held for sixteen years, and
fully 2,000 natives were gathered to
gether from the surrounding hills to
participate in it, One hundred and nine pigs were to be slaughtered. As the great desire of the assembled
crowds was to make the pigs talk as
they express it as much as possible, the manner of their dispatch was purposely lingering.
"We held a service before the vast
crowd of savages and urged upon them
the necessity of sparing the poor
beasts -is much pain as possible. They
thought it was impossible to kill them more quickly, whereupon I suggested that we should do the killing while
they carried out the eating. So after the service I set out to and shot fifty of the animals, while the other members of my party disposed of twentytwo" Datrous Raised" Bill." Last week, during the carnival, Kokomo, was flooded with counterfeit money of -a dangerous character. The last issue of the one-dollar silver certificates are the basis of the fraud. These are skillfully "raised" to tens. These did not reach the banks until Thursday, where their spurious character was discovered. The paper is new and easily worked. On the eagle side the figure one is erased and ten substituted, the engraving most perfect. The figure one, engraved in white, is altered to ten. On both sides of the bill patches of perfect paper had been pasted over figures and lettered with such skill that only an expert would detect the alteration. A score or more of the counterfeits have turned up, and it is thought hundreds were put in circulation. Wedded In Delphi. E. LeVergne Brooke, a Warsaw young man who was born inPlymouth, was united in marriage to Miss Pearl Roach, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Roach, at Delphi, Ind., on Wednesday, June 25, at the home of the bride's parents In the presence of the relatives and a number of the friends of the congratulating parties. Mr. Brooke, the groom, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John n. Brooke, of Warsaw. For the past year or more he has been employed in a large clothing establishment in Delphi. Mr. Brooke is an exemplary young man, and has many friends in Warsaw. Mr. and Mrs, Brooke will reside in Delphi and will be at home after July 1. The editor takes occasion to extend the usual congratulations to the happy coupleWarsaw Times.
Edward An Unlucky Name. No great good fortune has crowded itself into the career of any of the seven King Edwards of England. Edward I, the famous 'Longshanks," was an able ruler who made wise laMS, but bis determination to subdue Scotland led him into constant warfare, and he wore out the
last year of his life fighting the sturdy Highlanders. He died in
one of his campaigns against that
country, and his last request was that
his heart be carried in front of his
army into Scotland, nisson, Edward
II, merely ordered his army to retreat
and the war went for naught.
Edward II was a profligant and a
fiasco as a ruler. He was finally de
posed and murdered m prison.
Edward III was an able prince,
whose war against the French all but
made that country a part of England.
but his thirst for conquest was quench
ed and his life saddened by the death
of his son the "Black Prince" in
the French campaign. He realized as an old man that his work would
count for naught because his successor
would be his own weak, vacillating
grandson
Edward IV ascended the throne
only by the murder of nenry VI.
which he insticated, and as a result
gathered about him a court that he could not trust. He died when still a
young man. Saddest of all was the fate of Ed
ward V, who never ruled at all. He
was one of the two princes imprisoned in the tower and whose fate is really
unknown, but who are regarded as
having been murdered by the hired
assassins of their uncle, the Duke of
Gloucester, after Richard III. Their story is one of the saddest in English history.
Edward VI died when he was still a mere boy. Edward VII, the present monarch,
did not ascend the throne until he
was sixty years old. and all England
fears he may not live to be officially crowned. The good luck that is attributed by the superstitious to the number "seven" may be his, however.
As To (he Isthmian Canal. Five months ago the house passed the Hepburn bill by a vote of 309 to 2. Thursday the house receded from the position marked by that decisive vote and accepted, by a vote of 252 to 8, the Spooner substitute for the Nicaragua bill. In this case the surrender of the house is better than stubborn resistance, because a dead-lock between the senate and the house one standing by the Spooner bill and the other by the Hepburn bill would have been embarrassing to the republican party and, in spite of all explanations, would have had the appearance of a painstaking plan to block all canal legislation. There are now three distinct propositions before the President. He is authorized to acquire all the property rights and franchises now held by the new Panama canal if he can secure a satisfactory title from the company, ne Is authorized to acquire from the republic of Colombia perpetual control of the territory for a ship canal, this control to be absolute. If he can secure from the canal
company a clear title, and if he can J
secure jrom Colombia absolute control of the territory for the canal, then he is authorized, through a canal commission, to build the Panama canal. However, if he is not able to obtain a satisfactory title and Is not able to secure from Colombia absolute control of the territory for the canal, then he is authorized to secure by treaty from Nicaragua and Costa Rica the necessary concessions for a canal by the Nicaragua route and proceed to the construction of such a canal.
The Stricken King. For twenty years Edward stood ex
pectant at the foot of England's
throne. When his mother's reign had o
extended over forty years the world
assumed that the probabilities favored the succession of Edward in a few
months or in a few years. But Queen Victoria lived until it seemed that she
would outlive the son and heir to the
throne.
In all these veas Edward waited for the magnificent ceremonials that were this week formally to recognize him as the sovereign of one of the
greatest nations in the world. In these years, too, he saw a nation praying that the life of the Queen might be prolonged, not only in affection for her, but also in distrust of the untried man who waited for the
crown.
When at last the way opened, and
he had dispelled to a great extent the
distrust of the people, it is easy to
believe that he looked forward with
more than a usual eagerness to his
coronation.
He was stricken down at the very
hour marked for his triumph. The
titled delegates from all parts of the
British empires, the ambassadors from republics, emoires, and king-
doms, the officials and nobles of Eng
land waiting to take their places in
the coronation pageant, were called upon to play the part of mourners.
Not in all history is there a parallel
to this poignant disappointment of a
nation's ruler and a nation's people.
Realizing this, understanding the the gravity of the situation, recognizing the distress of Great Britain's loyal people, appreciating all that the
King's sudden and serious illness
means to the British empire, the American people will extend their
sympathy to the stricken sovereign and to the troubled nation. Inter Ocean.
Senator Fairbanlis Owns a Farm. People are not accustomed to look
upon Senator Fairbanks as a farmer
and yet he is one of the most extensive land-owners in the United States senate, lie owns one tract of land in
Illinois consisting of 5,500 acres. It
is said that he bought it for about $25
an acre and it now varies in value
from $75 to $100 an acre and the entire tract is worth easily $400,000.
Senator Fairbanks probably has made
more money jut of the practice of law than any other Indianian. It is
said on the most reliable authority
that his practice the year he was twenty-five netted him $25.000, and it did not decrease during all the years he was in the practice. Unlike most
senators, when he accepted a place in the upper branch of congress he ceased
entirely to practice law. His fortune
is variously estimated, but he probably
is worth easily a million dollars.
Unhealthy For Tramps. By some oversight the Tramps' Gazette failed to notify its subscribers in the last number that Kansas was getting to be an unhealthful place for the humble members of their class. Consequently a number of Weary Willies wandered across the Missouri river into the land of sockless statesmen the other day. That was where they made a fatal error. Instead of finding the hospitable back door from which pie rolled out like lava from Mont Pelee they were met by women with shotguns, who ordered them to toil in the wheat field before they could sit at the feast. While the tramps knew that their constitutional rights were being trampled on they had no time to ask for an injunction, but were obliged to tumble over the fence and go to work. No doubt the exercise would have made the meal taste sweeter had tit not been for the frame of mind the incident put them in. now much more noble the women of Kansas appear in the heroic role of rescuers of the wheat crop than they do when they leave their hearthstones to go forth to Carrienationize the world 1
Story of Gypsy Told Again. The story of the king and the Ep
som gypsy is being told; According
to this a gypsy who was supposed not to have known his majesty's identity
told him he would -rise high, to the throne itself, but would just fall short
of his ambition at the last moment and would not be crowned king."
The same seer told King Edward that
he would be so unlucky on the turf
that even if one of his horses were go
ing to win a race it would fall dead at the winning post. This prediction was fulfilled in the case of Counterpane in 1886. Later at Hamburg a palmist is said to have foretold that the king would become ill as he started for the coronation. Whether the stories are true or otherwise, the coincidence of their being current this year and the event of Tuesday are regarded as remarkable.
Formation In Gravel Pit Workmen have found a peculiar formation in the gravel pit of the Cincinnati, Richmond & Muncic rail road, two miles west of Peru, Ind. The formation is seventy feet long, and seven feet deep, and six feet beow the surface. It Is as dry as powder and so hard that it had to be blasted to break it. It Is composed of stones of many colors, cemented together until it is as solid as concrete. In some places in the formation there are bushels of small stones, shaped like peanuts, bound together by what resembles cement.
Big Pack of Peas. The Wabash Canning Company has Just closed its season for packing green peas. The crop was fine. The packing was done at the rate of six thousand cans an hour. The total pack was 500,000 cans.
Great Loss in Supplies, Tons of food and flowers brought Into London for the coronation crowds had to be destroyed. The markets are in a chaotic state. Supplies are still coming in, while the wholesale dealers are receiving telegrams from retailers In all quarters not to fill orders previously placed with them.
The result Is that orchids are given
away for nothing, and great quantities of meat are being sold at a tenth
of the previous prices.
Law on Canada Thistles. There are a good many prosecutions
just now under the Canada thistle law. The provisions of the act are not generally understood. The statute provides that the owner, or any lessee of ground, or any supervisor of roads, or any roadmaster of a railroad who shall allow Canadian thistles to grow on land within his control shall be fined not more than $25.
