Plymouth, Ind., July 10, 1902. Senator Ilanna is made responsible for almost everything that Lappens nowadays. Perhaps he has sonething to do with this hot weather. Democrats in congress held a final caucus to rind an issue. They failed, of course, for republicans have the sound and progressive side of every public questiou. The first six months of the present year saw 31C,711 immigrants arrive on these shores. There are eleven states in the Union, each one of which has a smaller population than this. No. battle in any recent war in which the United States has been engaged has shown the number of casualties that is recorded as taking place over the country on the Fourth. In 'the course of time as these deaths and mutilations increase the states will prohibit by law the use of dangerous explosives. The census returns show that during the decade ending with 190) the number of men employed in manufacturing industries in Indiana increased 41 per cent, which is a great result, but that during the same time th2 amount p.iid out in wages in these industries increased 55 per cent which is a greater one. The old animus will crop out. An exchange is angry because a bill has been passed to pension men who, being compelled to serve in the confederate army, deserted and joined the Union army because they were Union men. The exchange calls the bill an act to encourage desertion. There was a time when General Grant offered to pay every confederate who would desert, for hjs musket and find him employment, The Chinese residents of the United States, although not citizens, are enthusiastic celebrators of ihe Fourth of July. This cannot be for any patriotic reason, but is probably because it is a season of fire works, in which they delight. It must not be forgotten that we are indebted to China for the firecracker as well as for the invention of gunpowder, and in the art of making fireworks they are far ahead ot any other country. A bill passed in the closing hours of congress gives a pensionable status to 'ex-Confederate soldiers who enlisted in the Union aamy prior to Jan. 1, 1865. It. was intended to cover the case of Union svmpathizers in North Carolina and Tennessee who were conscripted in the Confederate army against their will, and who afterward enlisted and served in the Union army. Officials of the Pension Bureau estimate that the new law will add about $3,000,000 to the annual pension list. Rev. Dr. Arthur J. Brown, secretary of the Presbyterian board of foreign missions, after a long visit to the Philippines, gives his unqualified approval to the American police there. He thinks "Aguinaldo's government would have been as bloody as that of the sultan of Turkey," and that "if Washington had been president at the end of the nineteenth century he would have done what the equally wise, patriotic and Christian William McKinley did." Anti-expansionists will not get much comfort out of .this. Some time ago the prohibition brethren fixed on $1,200,000,000 as a o-ood round sum to use when mentionc ing the amount of the annual "drink bill" of the United States, and, though they had no basis of such tremendous figures, have made constant reference to them as trustworthy. It may interest them to know that the exact value of the liquors sold in the United State last year, as shown by government statistics, was $425,504,167. This includes all wines, beers, liquors cud beverages of every description, "soft" as well as hard" drinks and mineral waters. Senator Vest, reviewing the political situation, says the republicans have had pretty much their own way in congress and that "it is useless to protest against the Philippine policy now. In other words, the time for making an issue of the Philippine policy is past. As to the future the Missouri senator says: "If the republicans can continue the high pressure of the boom which has given greater prices to our manufacturers aud farmers, and caused an amount of circulation of money in this country hitherto unparalleled, they will carry the next presidential election." From this it appears the senator thinks nothing can save the democratic party, except a financial revulsion.

It appears that we have given Cuba up so thoroughly that we have not even left ourselves a coaling station on the island.

J. Pierpont IMorga- is looking over German palaces and museums, but has not intimated that he expects to bring about any sort of a combination. Cholera in the Philippines seems to seems to be much more fatal than war. In the province of Manila, Monday, 335 deaths and 4G0 new cases were reported. It is jrood news that the King of England has so far recovered as to fix anew the date of his coronation. It is safe to say that the preparations will not be so elaborate this time. The treasury Department has begun active preparations for carrying out the law of congress providing for the erection of public buildings through out the United States. Approximately loO of these structures are authorized. Senator Carmack, of Tennessee, who now realizes that he and his friends Patterson and Rawlins made a dread ful blunder in assailing the army in the Philippines, loses his temper when allusion is made to it and flies to abusive epithets. A. Washington dispatch says the re publican managers have decided, upon a speaking campaign. Good speaking can assist the republican newspapers during the last weeks of a campaign, but the regular reader of a republican newspaper is always posted and ready to vote. A national defense fund, to which all organized labor and the public in general will be asked to contribute, is the latest proposition placed on foot to help the striking anthracite coal miners if they need assistance in their strusrirle for higher wages and a short er work dav. Mr. Burton Smith is of the opinion that lawyers as a class are losing their grip and playing second fiddle to the captains of industry. What of it? So arj the preachers aud doctors and editors. Kings have been in that state fur some time. The truth is that the awyers should be haDny to be allowed to play any kind of fiddle, and . most of them are if there is a fee attached Indianapolis Sentinel. The postotlice department has just footed up its receipts and expenditures for the first quarter of the year 1902, which ended with March. The receipts for the quarter were $32,400,000 and the expenditures 831,500,000. A surplus of $800,000 in any quarter of the postal service is a thing unheard of. Moreover, the expenditure was larger than usual because of the establishing of so many free delivery routes. The state department has decided to press forward toward completion the Columbian treaty looking to the acquisiton of right of way of the isthmian canal. This is a slight change in the original programme, which contemplated the complete adjustment of the question of title before concluding the treaty. So Secretary Hay, who already has accomplished the best portion of the work to be done in treaty making, and has it before him in the shape of a protocol submitted to the last session of congress, has taken steps to give this the form a treaty and to have it signed formally by accredited representatives ot the government of Columbia and of the United States, that it may be laid before the senate as soon as it convenes in December. Value of Political Talk. Shakespeare said, "Good words are better than bad strokes," and even that strenuous counselor of welldoing, The Interior, of this city, admits there is virtue in mere talk of higher ideals. The Interior contends there has been in late years an astonishing gain in the politics! ideals of the average American; that he has higher ideas of the duty of citizenship, and holds himself to stricter account in the matter of voting. This change, The Interior, believes, has been brought about by editorials in the newspapers criticising and satirizing the citizen who will not come out to vote, by the Christian Endeavor societies following the lead of the newspapers, and through the efforts of ministers in the pulpit and zealous churchmen in the prayer meeting, urging interest in politics. "Most tremendous influence of all, "says The Interior, "the President of the United States continually preaches the doctrine of the individual responsioility of every citizen for the good conduct of the government. " Inter Ocean, Indiana's Prosperous Farmers. The Noblesville Ledger estimates that the wealth of farmers in Indiana has increased $92,000,000 in the past year. It asserts that, taking all the products of the farm into consideration, it is safe to say that the farmers are receiving annually for such products 8125,000,000 more than they did in 1896. As there are 221,897 farms in this state this is an average of $563 to each farm.

FROM THE FAR WEST

Letter FromJiimej E. Houghton, Now Visiting in the State of Washington. Arlington, Washington. July 1, 1002. Editor Tribune We left Plym outh on June 4, at 2:55 p. ra. arrived at St. Paul, Minn., at 6:30 a. m. where we jhad until 8:20 to glance at the wonderful falls on the Mississippi river which furnish power to turn the machinery of the greatest flouring mills in the world. On through the state that is famous for its numerous, as well as beautiful lakes I was not favorably impressed with the country, as it seemed to be poor soil, poor dwelling houses and poor out buildings, When we were fairly in North Dakota, a flat level country, noticeable for the absence of timber, except here and there a small grove that had bsen planted on a timber claim, and those few and far between, we noticed some fine lakes at times so near the track that one could have thrown a stone into the water. By the way, I saw a mirage. It was a beautiful lake, up-side down, waves rolling, seemingly you could hear the waves splash against the im aginary beach. Soon afeer leaving that scene we ran into tue raar end of a storm, and it was a storm. The water came down in sheets, I tell you they were wet sheets. The heayy down pour faded off into a heavy mist, no trees, no bushes in sight. A ball of lightning struck the ground some distance from the train, seemingly about 18 inches wide, with a vivid dazzling light in the center, fading to a peculiar greenish tinge as it approached the outer edge of the ball. The farmers were busy drilling wheat, having been delayed by heavy rains. A little further on we struck the stock ranges. It was quite a sight. Into Montana, still in company with the Missouri river, we sped on our way. The east part of Montana is very sp -.rcely settled, in fact the most of the stations are nothing more than a water tank, a "shack" for the section hands, a mountain cow boy, and a few Indians. As soon as the train pulls out all of the station or town moves put, not to be seen again until another train is due. We ran along the banks of the Co- j lumbia river a great distance and J finally came in view of the Sweet Grass. mountains, some 1G0 miles distant. The snow caps are a reminder of cool weather; we wind around through the canyons, at times, the snow above and below us, when we strike a bench and stop at a station called Summit, where we pass through a tunnel 2 miles and then come in sight of Columbia Falls, a wonderful sight. Now out into Washington, first stop at Spokane, a beautiful city through which the Spokane River passed. It is about as wide as the St. Joe River, beautiful clean cold water with a very rapid current: We leave the Columbia River at Trinadad and come in sight of the head waters of the river of all rivers that we have yet seen, the Wenatchee. Looking up the side of the mountains some 4,000 or 5,000 feet, can be seen a small riverlet not more than one foot wide. As the eye follows down the streamlet it widens out and becomes a roaring, dancing torrent passing down over rough rocks, dashed into foam and mist falling at times 100 feet before touching bed rocks then widening out into quite a good sized river, flowing over a bed of level (?) land becoming quite smooth on the. surface then again dashed to smitherins on the ragged: jagged rock, lost in foam and mist. Well, we arrived Saturday at Everett and on Sunday reached our destination. Arlington has about 500 population,- one good school, nine shingle mills, some with two machines. Each machine can turn out 126,000 shingles per day. Some good stores and when the men come out from the timber they make "Rome howll" There are base ball games every, Sunday, and then indeed it is the "Wild and Woolly West." ' VisitingMrs. Grant's ranch,some six miles up the river from this village, we find one of the most picturesque places yet seen. A two story top literally covered with the most beautiful flowers that bloom. Some fifty feet in front of the house runs a mountain brook full of delicious trout, the best pan fish that swim. About 300 feet further there is the river, clear and the deep channel is literally filled with both. The water in the creek and river is .used by all that are in reach. At this time of the year salmon and red huckleberries are in season. The salmon berries are in shape like our raspberries, only a much larger berry, and are of various colors. The other kind is a dark purple fading into an orange as you look down in the tines that divide the seed pods, the growth on the first and second bench. It is necessary to take a sharp hatchet to cut the way through the undergrowth. The bear come down from their

mountain pastures to feed on the

berrries, they tear down the bushes which are from six to ten feet high. They are so torn and tampled that it looks as though a cyclone had passed through. When weary of gathering berries, they lie down for a rest. We came across several places where the black, as well as the grizzlies, had stopped for a feast and a rest. On the second bench we blazed our wav to a most fascinating spot, made so by the falling, of a very loose tree. Father Time had lopped off the smaller branches, leaving the large one extended in various directions. The trunk was covered with a deep cover of moss. G real festoons of moss hung from the limbs. Here and there are ounches of shrubs, interspersed with beautiful flowers and ferns, a fit place for a home of the Fairies. The fruit ranches are simply immense in size and color, they would have to be seen to be appreciated. The White Horse Mountains the lower range of the cascades is beyond my discrlption. We are enjoying ourselves viewing this beautiful wild scenry to our ut most ability. The weather here is about like our October weather in tempe.ature. Last but not least in interest is the Weekly Tribune which brings news from home in the town we love the best. With best wishes and kindly greeting to the pood people. I reman yours Truly, Jas. E. Houghton. Trusts Will Assist Democrats, Kansas dispatches state that the democratic organization has suddenly plucked up courage, and will make a strong fight in at least three congressional districts, and has great hopes of electing three or more congressmen. The Hon. James M. Griggs of Georgressional campaign committee, wlu has recently visited Kansas, has in spired the democratic leaders there with this new hope and courage. When Mr. Griggs first asked the Kansas leaders to try to do something to elect democratic congressmen they answered that effort was useless, as they had no money to carry on a campaign, and could raise no funds. Then Mr. Griggs smiled benignly and said that need be no obstacle, as ample funds would be forthcoming for every district where there was the slightest hjpe of democratic success. When asked where these funds would come from Mr. Griggs is said to have dropped a hint which made the Kansas democratic leaders sit up. The hint was to the effect that the trusts, which were dissatisfied with the Roosevelt administration, would provide the sinews of war for the democracy of bleeding Kansas. Those who remember how tender Mr. Bryan was with the Tammany ice trust, and with Chairman Jones' cotton-bale trust, and with various other trusts whose political principles are those of the late Jay Gould, will understand why the Kansas democrats are now hopeful and courageous. And yet there are those thousands of pages of anti-trust speeches in the record of the fifty-seventh congress up to date! A Few Useful Hints. . If any fat has spattered the stove while frying or broiling wipe it off immediately with a newspaper. It is said that freckles can be removed by washing the skin In water in which is dissolved a small quantity of borax. , A mote may be removed from the eye, or the pain at least alleviated, by putting a grain of flax seed under the lid. Never add wine or flavoring extracts to a dish till it is cold. It put in while hot much of the flavor passes off in the steam. A little linseed oil brushed over faded green blinds will, if they are not too far gone, make them look almost as good as new. A little saltpeter or baking soda mixed with water in which cut flowers are placed will keep them fresh for a long time. The Carnival and Races. The merchant's carnival, balloon ascension and bicycle races next Saturday, July 12. promise to be a big thing for Plymouth. There will be a fast bicycle race and a slow one; Prizes will be given in both races. Harry Buck will give the winner of the fast race a fine bicycle pump, and Frank Jacox will give the winner of the slow race a splendid smoking set. Entries for both races can be made at Lamson's restaurant and it costs nothing to enter. ... . The contestants in the fast race will start at the north end of the Michigan street pavement and will stop opposite Buck's store. The contestants in the slow race will start at the corner of Michigan and Laporte streets nefcr Ball & Co's and Kloepfer's stores. If any rider stops his wheel in the race he is not in it. This will be a very amusing race and will require more time than the fast race.

Quay Once Outwitted. Senator Quay seldom admits that he has been outwitted, buf he was in such high good humor after the recent Pennsylvania convention that he told a story on himself. "When Pattison walloped us." he said, "there were five :ren contesting for a rharshalship one of the few plums I had to dispose of. I had really picked the man and was trying to get the others off the field when the five came at me. Gentlemen, the returns speak for themselves,' said I. 'Losses everywhere! None of you deserve office.' 'But I increased the vote in my district 50 per cent., said a Berks county Dutchman. 'If that's so you can have th office, ' said I, remembering that the few Berks county republicans had nearlv disappeared under the

Pattison landslide. We looked at the returns and found his district had cast nine republican votes. 'Isn't that 50 per cent better than six votes?' he asked, pointing to the figures for the previous election, and I had to confess that it was and gave him the office. The man had married into a democratic family and had brought his relatives into the fold." New York Times. Unwarranted Foreign Interference. Pennsylvania is duly agitated by the discovery of her geologists that the Pelee eruption a few days ago made an effort to raise her off the earth. She proved too much of a lift at such a long distance, but she finds herself from one to forty feet higher in the air than before. At Harrisburg there was an elevation of about one foot, while near Honey-brook, in Chester county, the hoist was forty feet, six inches. The scientists of Virginia were stirred up by these revelations, and they are horrified to find the Old Dominion several feet higher than she deemed herself. It is suspected at Washington that something has been monkeying with the foundations of the earth under the national capital and they have hired an engineer to tak2 measurements. This sort of interference with the stability of this republic by a little foreign island like Martinique naturally excites indignation and possibly a movement will be made soon to buy Martinique from the French and plant the flag and the constitution on her battlements to hold her down. Nebraska State Journal. Tax Fraternal Insurance. The Montgomery county board of review lias decided to test the much disputed question as to the taxable liability of fraternal insurance orders, and to that end has listed the total resources of the Tribe of Ben-Hur, amounting to nearly $350,000. Heretofore their reserve funds have been exempted arid the order has paid taxes on less than $40,000. The supreme officers claim that it is a benevolent institution and that the funds are, therefore, non-taxable. They will appeal to the State Board of Equalization. Good Homes Wanted for Orphans. Department Commander Benjamin Starr, of the G. A. R. of Indiana, has issued a circular letter to the different pests throughout the state calling attention to the Soldiers' and Sailors' Orphans' Home at Knightstown, Indiana. There are at the present time in the home 600 chilcren, divided about equally between the sexes. Every comrade is requested to be on the lookout for good homes for inmates of the asylum. For the present the room at the asylum is crowded to its capacity. Dixon Lake Ripples. Farmers are rejoicing over the change in the weather. Mr. W. A.
