Plymouth, Ind., July 31. 1902. The man who finds comfort in belonging to the so-called democratic party could dine on a basket of dry thistles and swear they tasted good. One difference between Bryanism and Cleveland ism is that the people dropped one before they tried it and tried the other before they dropped it. It is reported in Washington that Congressmen Watson and Landis aie in more demand as stump speakers outside of Indiana than any other men in congress. Tbe socialists of the Thirteenth district held a convention at Elkhart Monday ami nominated Elliott T. Anderson as their candidate for congress in this district. The wisdom and statesmanship of the republican party keep knocking democratic "paramount" issues to the rear faster than a Billy Goat Bryan can butt them to the front. The democrats, of North Carolina, in state convention, bid Billy Bryan and his Chicago and Kansas City platforms good by. Bryanism seems to be growing like a cow's tail. The democratic remedy for monopolies would be to make tbe country so poor that there would be nothing to monopolize. Mr. Voter do you xiul to try that experiment again? - In his latest speech, Mr. Bryan said l'ie people will not trust a party that wabbles in its platforms. That fact was illustrated in 1896 and 1900, when the democratic party flopped into populism. Montana's fame is chiefly identified with mining, but its wool clip this season will sell for 15,000,000. There is no telling how much the west will produce when irrigation is added to its resources. William R. Merriam, director of the census, estimates that the next census will show the population of the United States to be 100,000,000. This estimate will include the Philippines and other outlying possessions. The democratic candidate for governor of Maine met Mr. Bryan in Boston and escorted him throughout his trip. No democratic candidate for a state office in Indiana, would do anything so reckless as that this year. The mayor of San Francisco announces officially that if the fact should oe established that the JeffriesFitzsimmons right was a put-up Job, no more prize fighting will be tolerated in that city while he is In authority. The San Francisco chief magistrate wants the bruisers to fight In dead earnest or not at all. . Senator Platt, lna recent interview, revealed the secret of his political success. Speaking for the . benefit of young politicians, he said: "Never give anyone the right to say that you have broken your word to him. Be careful about making a promise, but when you have once passed "your word stick to it though it may be to your own detriment.' The present state administration goes on bettering Its record in the efficient and economical management of state institutions. The recently issued quarterly bulletin of the state board of charities and corrections show that during the six months period ending with April 30, 1902, $42,124.38 less was expended for the maintenance of the correctional and chantable institutions than during the corresponding period of 1901. At the state soldiers1 home, girls' industrial school and the reformatory notable decreases In the per capita cost of maintenance are shown. A vote for republican legislative candidate Is a vote against the state debt. A London dispatch says that food is dearer in England than It has been at any time for a quarter of a century. Bacon, the poor man's luxury, has risen in price between one-third and one-half. This Is due to the fact that the farmers of the corn belt in ths United States are getting the highest prices for many years for hogs, , while tbe number of hogs has fallen off rather than increased. The bountiful corn crop which Is now promised will affect prices to some extent If there is a large number of pigs to feed. The increase is the remit of natural causes: If farmers turn to hog raising again so as tö largely Increase the number, there will be lower prices,

Democracy will always find It an up-hill business trying to capture a live country with dead issues. The people are not buzzards, yet.

It is easy for the democrats to talk of anti-trust laws now that they are out of office but the public will not forget their failure to pass such legislation when they were in power. The Indianapolis News says that it is a little hard on Indiana taxpayers that our insane hospitals are so good that people from other states ship their insane friends here to be treated. That the price for July oats was j.bove the quotation for corn In the Chicago grain pit was not due to a natural demand, but to the effort of a clique. And yet there are those who personally affirm that the pit is useful in regulating prices. King Edward has decided to make one more effort ta be crowned and has fixe3 Aug. 9 as the date of the ceremony. It will be as near as possible on the scale of magnificence first proposed, and the rehearsals in the streets of London haye been resumed. While m New York W. J. Bryan told a. reporter that "our present prosperity is not universal." The Indianapolis Journal suggests that he has got his share, anyhow. Six years ago he was not worth a cent, and now he is said to be worth $300,000. One of the results of the coal strike is manifesting Itself in the banking of blast furnaces. The supply of coal has given out, and now the industries must cease, compelling hundreds of men to be idle. The operators say that when men are tired of striking the mines will be opened. Meanwhile between the upper and nether grind-stones the public is being ground. No matter what tbe politicians do, the people will nominate Theodore Roosevelt for the presidency in 1904, as they did for the vice-presidency in 1900. If ever providence took a hand In political nominations it was in the choice of a vice president in the last campaign. Suppose well suppose any of the other prominent candidates bad been selected. Elkhart Review. Representative Hepburn, in an interview, expressed the opinion that the greatest trouble In combinations known as trusts is tbe large amount of stock issued which represents no value. To eliminate tbe evil he suggests federal taxation of such stocks to get rid of them the same as the federal tax on the notes issued by state banks drove them out of circulation. The war which is on between the Pennsylvania railroad managers and the Wabash, led by George Gould, is not in line with the prediction of a general combination of which so mnch has been said. The Pennsylvania is trying to keep the Wabash from the Atlantic ports, and Gould is said to be behind the movement to prevent the Pennsylvania from expending 140,000,000 to tunnel into New York City. It is a good sized fight. The Minneapolis Tribune suggests that the duty on wheat might be abolished. As the surplus wheat crop Is always exported, and Canada exports its Increasing crop, it really can make no difference to us whether it passes free by way of Quebec or as flour by way of Boston and other ports to Europe. We would sell little wheat to Canada, but as Canada's crop would not affect the price there could be no objection to the abolition of the duty on wheat, particularly If it should be asked by a leading wheat-growing state. West Point has furnished but a small part of the officers commissioned in the army during the past four years. Since April, 1898, 1,811 lieutenants have been commissioned in the regular army, only 276 of whom came from West Point. . The men commissioned during that period are as follows: Six hundred and sixteen were volunteer officers in the Spanish and Philippine war, 414 were enlisted men in tbe regular service and volunteers promoted from'the ranks and 512 were from civil life.' The war department proposes to give scientific instruction to the 1,542 officers who did not graduate from West Point. State Auditor Hart says the recent payment of $1,000,000 on the state debt will not so deplete the . state treasury that money will be lacking should additions or new .institutions for the insane and epileptics.. It should be remembered, he says, that over $600,000 of the $1,000,000 has just been paid to Indiana . by the gDv eminent. It should be remembered, too, be says, that the payment on the debt will save the state $30,000 a year interest, which would go far toward furnishing additional rooms for dependents. It is his opinion that with the present state levy there will be plenty of money in the state treasury available to pay any appropriations Idesired by the next legislature.

Col. J. B. Maynard, who for 30

years has been a resident of Indiana polis and connected with the Sentinel of that city, chiefly as political writer. died Monday at the age of 83. He was at one time associated with Henry Watterson in the publication of the Louisville Courier-Journal. Perhaps the one thing that made his name most widely known throughout the country was his startling editorial one day in the Sentinel on thesupreme court of this state, beginning: "Damn their cowardly souls." The Sentinel did not regain the prestige thus lost for many years. HAVE SHELVED BRYAN: The democrats of this congressional district adopted, no resolutions. The convention of the 41st judicial district adopted no resolutions. The democratic convention in this county and in all the other counties of the Thirteenth district did like wise. This is in accordance with the plan of the gold democrats to shelve Bryan by silent consent and tacitly indorse the policy Hill and Grover Cleveland, Protecting the Consumer. Governor Cummins' idea, in his Minneapolis address, that "the con sumer is better entitled to competi tion than the producer to protection," is a catchy phrase, alluring to those who do not look deep enough to dis cover that its essence is free-trade. Perhaps the governor did not mean it that way, but that is its last analy sis. It is the point the free-traders have always given emphasis. The republicans while not controverting it diametrically, have always insisted that the way to really and substantially protect the consumer is to create a condition that will give employment to both labor and capital, and thus conduce to the greatest development of our national resources and the highest prosperity of our people. The protective policy conserves this purpose, and under It tbe nation has at tained a progress and thrift unequaled in any other country. As a tree must be judged by its fruits, the con clusion is reasonable that free tenets, however seductive in appearance, can not supplant hard facts One phase of the delusion is ground ed in the confusion of ideas about "the consumer." Who is he? Under the protective tariff all citizens, no matter their employment, directly or indirectly are beneficiaries. It is imimposslble for a community to attain general prospirity without each in dividual sharing in it. A poor man would rather be a poor man in a community where there is thrift and opportunity than tobe poor in a community itself poor and barren of opportunity. In tbe United States, under our economic system we are all consumers, and a large proportion are producers. The producers comprise the most diverse vocations from field, forest, mine, fishery, factory, commerce and every modern indurtry to the various professions and the retired business man the capitalist, all interrelated and contributing to tbe general result. Any measure that destroys or cripples these producers inevitably harms the consumer. They are all "members of one body" as truly as the logician Paul defined the spiritual body. It Is fallacious to classify theAmerican people as "producers," as a dis tinct class from 4 'consumers. " The vast majority of the adult male population belong? to both classes. What producer Is there who is not a con sumer? How can a blow be struck at the producer without hurting the consumer? The fallacy of free trade has always been that we can neglect home interests to "buy In the cheap est market." Whenever that has been tried In the "United States the consumers have paid dearly for the experiment. From this costly experience arose the tariff proverb, "You can't eat your cake and still have it." When England and the continent of Europe dominated our markets our people paid more for their merchandise than when the tariff, had built up home industries. And thus it; came to pass that while theoretically a tax of ' five cents upon a spool of thread increased the cost to the consumer by that amount, the unassailable ' fact remains that the spool of thread sells for less than the tariff taxi Who was benefited in this case? Clearly the "consumer." Before we start in to knock out the tariff on thread and go back to democratic "tariff for reve nue" conditions, let us pause and do some sober thinking. Burlington "Hawkeye." Democratic Harmony. "Virgin! us 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 invited 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 and the works of Jackson cease to expire. From William J. Bryan's Lincoln Interview of June 22. Surety on Condi.

BERNETHA THE MAN

Democratic Judicial Convention Norni nates Fulton County Man. Fifty-seven prominent democrats ir.cluding the delegates from this township, North and Bourbon left Plymouth Tuesday forenoon for Rochester. The delegates and workers from other townships swelled the number in attendance from this county to about eighty, yet with 34 delegates and all this assistance, Fulton county's 23 delegates out-gen-eraled them and won a glorious victory, nominating Harry Bernetha for judge on the 43d ballot. This final ballot was as follows: Bernetha 30, Martindale 22, Kellison 2. Myers 2, Montgomery 1. Democrats of this county naturally feel humiliated. All of them knew before the balloting commenced that neither Martindale nor Kellison could be nominated, and all of them knew that either Judge Capron or Adam E. Wise could be nominated; but it was argued that Judge Capron had held the office long enough and was too old any how, and that Wise was not lawyer enough to make a judge. Still the convention nominated a man no better qualified for the position than Adam E. Wise a man who can never learn as much as Judge Ca pron knows. Mr. Kellison positively refused to allow his name to be presented before the convention, yet his friends per sisted In casting their votes for him, and his chances for receiving the nom ination were as good If not better at any time than Mr. Martindale 's. Mr. Kellison 's name was not pre sented, but he got votes on every bal lot and got 12 votes on one ballot. Judge Capron got 14 votes on two ballots. Tbe friends of Martindale attribute the result to the friends of Kellison, yet they knew before the ballotting began that Mr. Martindale could not be nominated, but that they had it in their power to name the nominee if they chose to do so. On the final ballot Bernetha receiv ed 10 votes from Marshall county 5 from German township, 3 from Bour bon and 2 from Green. The final ballot was taken at 9:30 p. m. This district should have a good judge, a man who is honest, conscien tious and has a thorough knowledge of law. Partisan politics should never enter into the selection of a judge, and the republicans should now nom inate a man in every way qualified for the position and the people should elect him. Bij Family Reunion. There will be a reunion of theJacoby and Ray families in the Jacoby woods east of Plymouth, Tuesday, Aug 5, at which all old settlers will be welcome. The occasion is the 80th anniver sary of the birth of John Jacoby, who was born in Schulykill county, Penn sylvania, August 5, 1822. Mr. Jacoby is one of the survivors of tbe pioneer community, who settled in the forests of Marshall county, and for a long series of years identified themselves with its growth and improvement. John Jacoby came to this county fiftyfive years ago, and has resided on his fine farm east of this city more than fifty years. Mrs. Jacoby, whose maiden name was Serena Ray, is descended from revolutionary ances tors and was oorn in Union county, Ind., over 72 years ago. Next Tuesday will be a meeting of old settlers that will be long remembered. A Remarkable Family. Mr; and Mrs. I. Stone residing three miles north of Inwood and six miles east of Plymouth, have been having a kind of family reunion this summer. George Webb and wife, of South Africa, are here for a vacation. Mr. Webb is a native of that far away land, and he and his wife who was Miss Stone before she went to Africa, have a saritarium at Cape town and cared for soldiers of both armies during the recent Boer war. Mrs. Anna Reprogle another daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stone.is also here. She hasspent five years in Africa and three years in England. Her husband, George Reprogle, was here for two months, "but is now in Ireland establishing a sanitarium where his wife will join him when her yacation is ended. Charles L. Stone and wife who have charge of a school at Hazel, Kentucky, have been spending their vacation here and left for Kentucky today via Chicago. .They are a building up an important school at Hazel. Mr. and Mrs. Stone certainly have reasons to be proud of their children and the children are justly proud of their parents, who are among the oldest settlers and best people of the neighborhood In which they reside. The family are members of the Seventh Day Adventist church and were educated at Battle Creek, Michigan. ' For Sale.

MARRIED

Schell Klingerman At the United Brethren parsonage in Bremen, Ind., Sunday, July 20, 1902, the Rev. Mr. Oyler united in the bonds of holy matrimony, Mr. Bert Schell, of Plymouth, and Miss Jennie Klingerman, of German township. After the nuptial knot was tied the happy couple drove to the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Klingerman, four miles south-east of Bremen, where a nice wedding dinner had been prepared. They came to Plymouth Sunday evening and will make their home in this cky. Both are excellent iyoung people and have the congratulations and good wishes of many friends. General Lee at Winona. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee delivered a lecture at Winona Thursday afternoon on peace and war in the United States and Cuba to a crowd of 2,000.. In his narrative of events leading up to the war with Spain Gen. Lee reiterated his belief that Gen. Blanco and the Spanish authorities at ITavana had nothing to do with the blowing up of the Maine, and that all the information of the project was purposely kept from them. He asserted that it was still his belief that the scheme was carried out by three or four young Spanish officers skilled In the preparation of explosives who were sent out for that purpose, and whe even succeeded in keeping all knowledge of their identity from the Spanish authorities in Havana. Gen. Lee referred to the repeated efforts on the part of Spanish officers to frighten him from bis post as consul . general, and bow he bluffed them until he was ready to depart for the United States. He also told of the underground method of assisting ; Lieut, (now Gen.) Funston, then in a wounded condition, to get to the United States after serving with the Cubans under Gen. Gomez, Fuustou having met him among his enemies In Havana. Astonishing Insurance Figures. Few people have any idea of the enormity of the insurance business of the United States. It not only exceeds that of any other country, but is twice as great as that of all the rest of the world combined. At the present time there is In the United States about $12,000,000,000 of life Insurance in force, including assessment business. This means over $160 for every man, woman and child in the country, or $8C0 for every family. The annual risks written by the fire insurance companies are estimated at $20,000,000, which Is $250 per canita or $1,250 per family. Thus It will be seen that every family in the country, on an average, has insurance assets of over $2,000. Should Be Looked Into. The summer junketing of customs officials at the expense of the government ought to be stopped. From the United States District Attorney's office to the Board of United States General Appraisers, carefully laid plans are made every spring to convince the Secretary of the Treasury of the importance of this officer going to Europe to make investigations, another officer going to California, another officer going to the great lakes, etc. It is so manipulated, as a rule, that the officer has a private secretary accompany him. The results of the junkets now in progress and contemplated should have the careful consideration of Mr. Secretary Shaw as to the results attained by these officers who have asked for this extraordinary assignment during this year and previous years. Every official who seeks an assignment of this kind should be carefully questioned as to the necessity of it, and investigation should be made as to whether the the summer trip of these officers should be paid for by the government. American Economist. Where Democracy is Dominant, Gunton's Magazine estimates that 7,600 children under fourteen years of age are working in the mills of North Carolina, more than one-third of all the hands employed. In the states of South Carolina. Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi there are 22,00 children under fourteen yeaas of age, working ten, twelve and fourteen hours a day. Children are at work as young as six years, and their physcial and mental condition Is described as pitiable by all who have investigated Lawrenceburg Press. The Carnival Craze. Valparaiso Messenger: "The carnival craze continues to sweep over the state. The smaller cities and towns are now being afflicted. There are mighty few merchants In any of the places where carnivals have been held who would welcome another. And even the people can not look back with any degree of pleasure to the entertainment and feel that they got full value for the money expended. The carnival is a fad that is likely to be shortlived, just as the street fair had its short day. By and by the old fashioned fair will bold the boards."

Trustees of District Meet. The township trustees from the counties comprising the Thirteenth district of Indiana held their annual meeting at Kochester last week and it was a very interesting session. Charles Jackson, trustee of Rochester township, was elected permanent chairman, and President W. II. Banta of the Rochester Normal University welcomed the visitors to the city. The trustees were almost unanimously in favor of free text books, as were also the superintendents. In a paper on needed legislation, John H. Pufling, of South Bend, advocated that the law should be so changed as to make the trustee the truant officer as well; that the trustee should succeed himself; that he should be compelled to furnish all his schools with libraries, and that the poor fund should be handled by this officer. He opposed the election of county superintendent by popular vote, and favored school consolidation, A Good Story. Representative Beidler, of Ohio, recently told a good story. He said: "These purists in language who shout so much about grammar always make me think of the fellow out in my district who was fishing off a dock and fell Into the water. Some people nearby helped him out and one of the rescuers asked, 'How did you come to fall Into the water?1 " 'I didn't come to fall into the water,' replied the man. I came to fish.' " .
