Commissioner First District GEORGE STOCK, Commissioner Second District, JOSEPH CO AIL It was a democratic tariff in 1894 that converted a democratic majority of 100 in congress into a republican maioritv of 140. The tariff Is not a lucky democratic issue. In spite of the repeal of all the war taxes at the close of the fiscal year, which ended in June, the receipts of the treasury for July this year will be larger than thote of July, 1901. General Bradley T. Johnson, of Maryland, ex-confederate and long un reconciled, is credited with the pre diction that the South will go repub lican. Unfortunately, he does not give the date. 'Here in New England," says Mr. Bryan, "a man may be a democrat with credit," which prompts the In dianapolis News to suggest that New England must be very charitable, for since Mr. Bryan got hold of the party democrats have mighty little credit anywhere. The attention of the democratic re organizers is called to the fact that two other state conventions of their party have indorsed the Kansas City platform. The Texas and the North Carolina democrats have just done this, following th example of the democrats of Missouri and other states. Bryanism is not so near bein dead as many democratic politicians would like. Today August 1 the santa Fe rail road company increased the pay of 7,000 of its trainmen in amounts averaging 10 to 12 per cent. The agreement also provides for ten hours a day and one hour off Saturday. The adjustment was effected amicably, without strike or threat to strike. It Is satisfactory all around, and insures friendly relations between employers and employes. In the opinion of the Brooklyn Eagle, a democratic paper of the Cleveland group, Mr. Bryan is "a good man to ignore." The Eagle's proposed plan is to adopt a gold standard platform and take any candidate the democratic national convention sees fit to name. Mr. Bryan, however, Is a hard man to ignore in democratic affairs. He is the most popular democrat and the party managers may make the most of It. The outbreak at Shenandoah among the striking miners will be a shock both because of its fierceness and fatal consequence and because there was general hope that there would be no serious outbreak at all. It came on the attempt to introduce two nonunion miners through the strikers' pickets. Thus the assault was wholly unjustifiable. The right of a man to go ' to work cannot be opposed with violence. If moral suasion will not deter him the whole power of the law Is on his side in his exercising his right. Now troops will be ordered out, and thus the second phase of the stiuggle begins, and the one that has generali presaged the -victory of the operators; for the presence of troops opens the way for more workers, and this is generally followed by more violence and then the end. Let us hope that restraint may still help the miners to win Indianapolis News.

According to the London Daily Mail the greatest combine the world has ever seen has been effected by the merging of the Rockefeller, Rothschilds and Noble oil interests, which practically control the oil supply of

the The republicans announce that they will open the campaign in this state with a meeting at Indianapolis Oct. 10, in which Senator Hanna, o Ohio, and Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge, of Indiana, are to be the speakers. The report of a world wide petrole um trust which it has been announced that the Rockefellers and the Roths Childs are to establish to control the oil of the universe, is denied, but c"ur ing the few days the story did duty i was the subject of many severe edit orials in which the baneful effect o the tariff in encouraging trusts was not mentioned. For once in their lives tlrj demo cratic journals are right. There w be no stampede to either party in this campaign. But, looking the situation carefully over," we fail to discov where the cause for any democratic jubilation comes in. In ordinary years this state is republican by majorities to satisfy every republioan With no stampede it will remain the same. Tha record of locomotive orders placed last week was phenomenal exceeding 200, enough to keep the eight locomotive shops of the Ameri can Locomotive company with the 12,000 employes busy for two months. Among the orders were engines for the Kansas City, Mexico & Onent road, 45 for the New York Central, 48 for the Lackawanna, and 25 for the Lake Shore for service on the Lake Erie & Western. The democrats of Michigan have placed in nomination Judge George H. Durand, of Flint, for governor, a go'dite of good repute, but who is very distasteful to the strong silver ele ment in the state. The silverites were wholly ignored in the making up of the ticket and in building the platform. They are not at all pleased with the manner in which they were treated and there does not seem to bj very much harmony on tap. One-third of the entire acreage of the United states is used for farming purposes. If all the farms of the United States were bunched together, the entire countries of England, Scot land, Ireland. Wales and the adjacent islands, France, Germany, Austria Hungary, Spain, Japan and the transyaal could be set inside of them, and enough margin would be left to drive the cereals of the world to mar ket in wagons eight abreast. The long-ago cry, "the harvest is great and the laborers few," comes from the wheatfields of Minnesota and the Dakotas, but it Is never heard in any other country than the United States. At the same time the story comes. from Southern Indiana that the farmers of Pike and Warrick counties haye declared their intentions to put their farrasin grass and engage solely in stockraising because labor unions among farmworkers have so raised wages as to make the growing of other crops unprofitable. There was a time, not so many years ago, when frame buildings were the rule in San Francisco and other California towns, they being considered safer in case of earthquakes. In recent years earthquake shocks have been so frequent and so slight that security has been established and brick structures are common. The experience Thursday at Los Alamos, when only frame buildings were left standing after the earth's upheaval, shows that the early settlers were wise in their action, and will re-estab lish a preference for wood as building material. "No one need be without labor in this part of the country" are the words of a report from New York; Cincinnati has no labor to spare to go south" is the statement of a news paper in that city. The same condition appears to exist In other cities. Labor is scarce, in spite of the unprecedented immigration. And it has bcn so for four years. Six years ago the question was anxiously asked. "How are 3,000,000 idle men to be employed?" There is cause for men saying "let well enough alone," even if prices of meat and a few other articles of food are higher than a few years ago. Shot By a Coy. As a result of a family feud of long standing Albert Saunders, aged fifteen shot Nolike Suter, aged forty. through the need. Suter Is in the hospital and may die. Suter 's wife had assaulted Saunder's mother, and when they went to to the latter s assistance Suter inter fered, and after striking the boy with a hatchet was shot Young Saunders used a toy pistol, hut it held a 22-cali-ber cartridge. He Is under arrest. The families live ia Dunkirk, Logansport's western suburb.

MISTER ON

Democratic Judicial Convention

"It bates the divil," said Mr. Dcoley." "What does," asked Mr. Hennessy. 'The joodishal nomination in the 41st districk of Indyany," said Mr. Doolev. Tell me all about it," said Mr. Hennessy. "Well, it was this way," said Mr. Dooley. "The loyal and enlightened Bryan-Cleveland-Hill-Tom Johnson democrocy of Marshall and Fulton counties resolved, by the shade of Jifferson and Bob Toombs that, come weal, come woe, they would have, if not a judge or joorist, a man on the binch to continue to draw the salary of twinty-five hundred dollars per annum. Says they, "there's Killison; he's a gran' lawyer and a great joorist, but he'll not do, says they. He's too honest. He's done too much work for the dimikrat party. He might decide a case right on the law and the ividence, says they, aLd that will niver do, says they. Killison has no pets among the lawyers says they, an' Wolfred'sno frind to him, and if he wor judge ye could stan him on his head in the middle of the shtreet and no railroad passes, poker chips or whiskey bothels would be dhroppin out of his pockets on the pavemint," they say. Lave Killison out," says ihey. Wt i nixt," says they. "Will I do?" says Ney Stevens. "Naw!" says Wolferd, "Git the swellin'out o' your cranium," says Wolferd. "Ye may do later," says he. "There's Martlndale, " says Martin dale's partner. "Thru for you," says Wolferd, the boss. "Martlndale is the boy for ye." 'Let's have him," says the ring. I nade a judge In my bizness," says Wolferd, "whin the lake season is over." "What will ye take, boys" says Wolferd, and ivery wan of thim went out sucking a bit of llmmln peel. At the conviction there wor the ushul amount of wet goods with the one faction, and Killison sitting under a fig tree in front of the Jifferson hotel, drinkin' a glass o' buttermilk every few minutes to kape him cool. In the avenin' a frind of Killison came tearing down the shtreet. "Look out!" said he, "or the convintion will nominate Andy Mohlter," says he. 'Kape cool," says Killison, Unsolved Problems. If there are those who imagine that there is not an abundance of unsolved problems to engage the time and attention of those who give concern to sociological conditions, they simply fail to take cognizance of existing con ditions. Indiana supports four large hospi tals for the insane. All of them are filled to their capacity. A large number of incurably insane are confined m poor houses throughout the state and In the Northern Prison at Mich igan City. Twenty years ago the state supported but one lunatic asylum, now called the Central, at Indianapolis. The institution for feeble-minded children, located at Fort Wayne, has incharge about 800"pupils, " the great majority of whom must, in the very nature of things, remain a charge up on society as long as they shall live. This state institution is filled to its utmost capacity. It Is under the man agement of one of the most capable superintendents to be found in the United States Alexander Johnson. It is no exaggeration to say that If all the feeble-minded children in the state were under the care of Mr. John son and they could j not possibly be placed In. better, hands the number would exceed 8,000. We have a number of orphans' homes in Indiana. All of them are taxed to their utmost. The Children's Aid Society of Indiana, wheih is lo cated at Mishawaka, now has applications for the admission of over 30 orphans from the city of Kokomo alone. There is no room for these waifs. What is to become of them he good Lord only knows. The reformatory at Jeffersonville is filling up rapidly with young culprits. The police forces of the larger towns and cities are kept busy "gobbling up" the vicious and lawless elements that infest these localities. If it were not for the unselfish de votion to the cause of humanity by organizations of kind hearted women and generous men, the state would have much more to provide for than it has under existing circumstances. But the point in view Is this: What, if anything, is being done to check the growth of this army of dependents, feeble-minded, homeless? How, maay of our public men give these deplorable sociological conditions

any thought? How many newspaper

DOOILEY

THE "Andy is in no more danger of it than Marti ndale or Stevens." says he. By and by there was a great shou frim the convintion hall. Men came rushin' up the shtreet and surgin' in to the nearest saloons. "Hoorah! says they, "we've done it." "Done what?" says a man who was being rushed in the muddy guther. "Nom inated a man to draw the salary of the judge," says they. "Who is he?' savs the man. "His name's Bernetha' says they. "Is he a good lawyer and sound joorist ? " says the man . newillbeina quarther of a ein tury," says they, "if he lives long enough." "How do you like it?" says the man to Ney Stevens and John Wolferd. "We lost the jack pot," says thjy. "Huw do you like it Lige?" says the man to Martindale. "He's the sun of a sea-cook," says Martindale, "but I shall write a leth er In the Indepindint telling the peo ple that I always was for him, and maybe Bernetha and some of the fools will belaveit." "And how do you like it," was ask ed Killison under the fig tree. "Well, said Killison, "I couldn't get Andy nominated, and I suppose I'll have to becontinted. I'll write no lethers, says he. "Have a butter milk on me," says Killison. "Well, well, well," says Mr. Hen nessy. "What will be the outcome.' "I think," sai(3 Mr. Dooley, sucking slowly and deliberately thru the straw, "that it mean' a judge in the 41st districk in Novimber." "Will it be Bernetha," asked Mr nennessy?" "I don't know," said Mr. Dooley. "They moit find a younger man in the cirkit, and there's time yet for one to be born before the Novimber election. "Is it easier for a lawyer to practice befoor a judge who knows the law or one who does not?" asked Mr. Hen nessy. "That depinds on the lawyer and the judge, " says Mr. Dooley. Whin nather wan o' thim knows the law, there'll be no trouble bet wane thim." "But will the good lawyers be plazed wid the kindergarden coort," asked Mr. Hennessy. "They will have to be plazed, on less the people do differ! nt, " said Mr. Dooley solemnly, "for in the race of politiks today the cradle seems to be in the lead." writers feel tempted to touch upon these subjects? Of professional politicians and office seekers nothing need be expected along these lines. They prefer to talk about Cuban and Philippine affairs, the tariff com mercialism, etc. It is so much easier to expatiate on these topics than to wrestle with problems that deeply concern nearly every locality and that appeal to the best judgment of the state's brightest minds for at least an attempt at solution. South Bend Tribune. That Coal Advance. It Is evident from the comment of some Indiana bituminous coal operators that they did not intend that the proposed advance In the price of coal at the mines on August 1 should be made public. The Indiana operators do not want the impression to get abroad that the increased demand is due to the Pennsylvania striko, and that they are supplying coal to the anthracite market. The Terre Haute retail coal dealers, who are In close touch with the Indiana field, knew what was coming, and at a meeting decided to advance the retail price August 1 or soon thereafter. The operators say that, while steam making bituminous coal has been higher during May, June and July than it was in the same months last year, last season's price was exceptionally low, and the operators made no money at the summer prices. The increased demand for the coal for tne far northwest market caused the adyance August 1, Instead of September 1, as usual. In the block coal field of Clay county there is prosperity, for the reason that many persons that ordinarly depend on anthracite coal are going to use block this winter. Last winter block coal at the mines went to t2. In all probability It will goto $2.25 this winter. Hontst Administration Demanded. The day of the corrupt, dishonest and Incompetent public official has passed in the administration of public affairs. That political party that is entrusted with the management of political affairs, municipal, county or state, must manage said affairs in an economical and business-like way or they will hear trom the people. The people's interest can only be protected by a just and impartial enforcement of the statutes, by a clean and able enforcement of the laws. -

Cold Summer of 1816. This kind of weather has sharpened up the appetites of the weather students, and they are comparing this summer with another phenomenal summer, that of 1816, best known as the "cold summer." There seemed to be no summer at all that vear. The m sun gave little heat to the inhabitants of the earth, and the people fell easy prey to superstition, fearing lest the world was to come to a speedy end. April began warm and pleasant, but ended in ice and snow. May sav the budding trees blackened with frost and ice on the ground half an inch thick. In June, ice and desolation ruled the land, and all planting was abandoned even in the South. The Fourth of July was celebrated with snow fights, and even as far south as Virginia, the streams were frozen. In August, ice formed thicker than

in July, corn was frozen so that it was cut for fodder, and few green things survived. October saw a continuation of the freezing temperature, with scarcely a day m which the thermometer rose above 30. November was extremely cold. Through the summer, winter clothing had been worn, overcoats and heavy wnps were fashionable, and green vegetables and fruits could not be purchased for home consumption. It was a summer of awful suffering, but in December the season changed and the weather became mild. That month was the most enjoyable of the year. Peoria Heads the List Illinois continues to hold its place as the greatest internal1 revenue producing state of the nation. Out of $271,867,990 of receipts for the last fiscal year, from all sources, $54,029,115, or about one-fifth of the total amount, was contributed by this commonwealth. New York comes second with $38,694,831; Indiana third, with $25,178,552; Pennsylvania fourth with $22,841,669, and Ohio fifth, with $21,969,559. The single district of Peoria contributed within about $5,000,000 of New York's total, its collections being $31,267.650. Chicago comes next with $11,181,671, Springfield next rith $10,691,650, and East St. Louis with $888,686. Peoria, of course, will be as proud as ever of the eminence it has attained in this respect, and it is utterly fruitless to argue with that community on any high moral grounds. All it seems to care for is that it shall lead the rest of the state and overshadow all the other districts of the country as a producer of whisky. A Great Sheet of flame. The most remarkable display of lightning ever seen in the Rocky mountain country prevailed oyer Butte, Mont., for an hour Thursday morning, between 4 and 5 o'clock. The heavens were a great sheet of flame, without a moment of intermis sion, ana thousands oi people were aroused from their slumbers by its brilliance. Nearly everything be came more or less charged with electricity and many persons were Injured by coming in contact with ar ticles connected with electric light and telephone wires, even several hours after the electric display had ceased. Alfred E. Rhodes of Aurora, an employe of a packing company, was killed at 8 o'clock Thursday morning by an electric shock that came from a stack of meat in a refrigerator car. When he first entered the car he re ceived a violent schock by touching a piece of tin. He was dragged out by fellow employe, and after great difficulty his life was saved. A short time later he went back into the car to resume bis work and touched a pile of meat and was instantly killed. Coroner Johnson, while investigating the accident, touched another pile of meat and was nearlly killed. He re mained unconscious for an hour. A dozen or more people in different parts of the city received severe shocks. Northern Prison News. "Crops on the prison farm are a flat failure this year, "writes Louis Ludlow to the Indianapolis Sentinel. 'The rains have drowned out the corn and it looks as if there will be no roasting ears. About 70 acres are under cultivation and of an ordinary season a great deal of the produce needed at the prison is raised there. There has not been a case of typhoid fever at the prison during the past year. The water suppry Is brought through pipes from Lake Michigan a distance of 2,800 feet. It is clear 'and palatable and chemical analysis show it to be free of impurities." A Good Society. The Chicago Excelsior says that some societies are better than others One of the good ones was organized n New York about two years ago to instruct the children in the tenement districts In the care of domestic ani mals. Already it has twenty-five chapters In that city, the members of which attend meetings where they talk about animals, and tell how they have helped those in distress. If there were more such societies, the work of the organizations of adults for the prevention of cruelty would be considerably decreased.
