The best kind of public ownership is for each elector to own his own vote and use it as if it belonged to him. It was thought at first that Gen. Kitchener was going to hang up the sword, but now it transpires that he is to get married. The development of the Indiana peat beds would be a welcome addition to our enterprises during the present state of the coal market. The word "geld bug" is no longer a term of reproach in the democratic party. The democrats who were called "gold bugs" a few years ago seem to have control of the party now. Cuba is said to be facing bankruptcy because of the total falling off of customs. The failure of reciprocity prevented the marketing of crops and the islanders have no money to buy imports. A political boss or any other kind of a self-constituted boss don't cut the ice that they once did in this country. They disgust people generally and are a positive abomination m the eyes of men of strong common sense. The Plymouth-Independent Democrat edited by lion. Clay W. Metsker, has abandoned the reorganizes and declares in favor of Bryan for a third nomination. But this does not commit Clay to Bryanism for more than a week. The Democrat may be la favor of Mark Ilanna long before 1904. Congressman Babcock is authority for the statement that President Roosevelt will make no political speeches this year. lie may talk to the people occasionally on his trips through the country as every president is expected to, but what he shall say will be good patriotic American sense, and will not have any partisan bias. ' Nebraska is going to have lively contests in the congressional districts where the majorities are slender: The Fusionists carried four districts In 1900. They had 175 plurality In the Third district, 597 in the Fourth, 399 in the Fifth and 209 in the Sixth. All these districts are debatable ground and will be hotly contested during the fall campaign. There is a lull in the talk about the isthmian canal, but the government is doing its part intelligently, and something definite, will doubtless be fixed upon by the time that congress meets next December. Negotiations between the state department and the authorities of Colombia are in progress, and although our side has not gained all it wants, and all it must have if te Panama route is to be accepted, .Vim outlook is that Colombia will yet cone to time. IX she does not, of course, the Nicaragua route will be selected. The canal will be built at one point or the other, and work will probably begin before the end of 1902.

Out in Arizonia and Nevada, the silver issue has been thoroughly disposed of, and those once overwhelmingly Bryan free silver districts are back solidly in the republican sound money column. The monument recently erected over the grave of Nancy ITanks, mother of Abraham Lincoln, at Lincoln, Ind., will be dedicated on Oct. 1. Col. Charles S. Denby, of Evansville, former minister to China, will be invited to deliver the dedicatory address. William II, Smythe, for 23 years secretary of the grand lodge of Masons, died at Indianapolis, Tuesday of congestion of the lungs. Mr. Smythe was mysteriously shot in his office in the Masonic Temple at noon hour in the fall of 1900, and resigned the secretaryship of the Grand lodge in February, 1901, on account of his health. The mystery of the shooting, remains unsolved.

Recent reliable advices from Germany that the consumption of rye as an article of food is steadily diminishing in that country, and that many mills have altogether given up grinding this cereal into flour. For so many years has rye been a leading foodstuff in north Europe, that a positive decline in its use would mean a materially enlarged market for American and Russian wheat. William E. Curtis, the Chicago Record Herald correspondent, says a private letter from an American priest in Rome confirms the newspaper dispatches as to the success of Judge Taft's mission and the perfect understanding between him and the Vatican. The 450 obnoxious friars now In Manila, who dare not return to their former parishes, will be withdrawn from the Philippines as rapidly as circ umstances will permit and places can be found for them. The New York Times, one of the most pronounced free trade papers of the United States says the interest and dividend disbursements for the eight months from January to August, inclusive, are $629,416,214. "These figures," it goes on to say, "show very clearly the wonderful prosperity of the country. There never was a time in the industrial history of the country when labor was so well paid as now or had so few grievances." Bryan has changed his mind again. He recalls the statement made a few days ago that he would not refuse a nomination if it was tendered unanimously. He now says: "I will not be a candidate for president in 1904. While I would not promise never to be a candidate again under any circumstance I have no plans looking to the future nomination for any office. I am perfectly content to do my work as a private citizen and enjoy my editorial work. I shall continue to advocate with tongue and pen reforms which I believe to be necessary." The differences of opinion expressed by those in the Catholic church regarding the retirement of the friars from the Philippines are largely those of men quite prominent In the church, but, so far as expressed, the preponderance of opinion is in favor of withdrawal sooner or later. The Pontiff and the Vatican are in favor of withdrawal as soon as it can be done without embrrrassment. The Pope, who is beyond the partisan Influence which may affect many Catholics in this country, has expressed confidence that the president will treat his church with consideration. Australia is yet affected with a drought which began eight years ago. Ordinary farming succumbed long ago. Next the ranges were parched so that the cattle and sheep died by hundreds of thousands. Last, the great mining interests were smitten, because they cannot be worked without water. The stagnation of the interior has caused cities on the coast to adopt an unprecedented retrenchment, employes being discharged by thousands. Australia for years was the growing source of Great Britain's meat supply, but this unprecedented drought has cut it off, thus compelling a larger demand upon this country with its really decreasing supply. The Brookville American of a recent issue declared that "It is puzzling some of our reorganized democratic editorial brethren to make a satisfactory disposition of their Bryan free silver record. If they put it in the party junk chop it is liable to be hauled out ana exhibited with appropriate trimmings by curio- hunters. The editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel has disposed of his'n by declaring that he has always been a bimetallist but never a two em dash fool. This is not altogether satisfactory for the reason that he does not explain what he is when he is a bimetallist, which seems to convey the imputation that he is what he disclaims. We hope our respected brother will clear this matter up before some unwary satellite stumbles into the same admission. We do not believe any of them are two em dash fool3. They are just sort o' dazed like.

A USEFUL PUBUC MAN. The resignation of Dr. Andrew D. White as ambassador to Germany ends a public life of great usefulness to his country. He did the practical work in establishing Cornell university, being its first president. In 1871 he was a member of General Grant's San Domingo commission, which .favored the annexation of the island. From 1878 to 1831 he was American minister to Berlin. From 1892 to 1S94 he was American minister to Russia. He has been our ambassdor to Berlin since 1897. In this capacity he has rendered this country excellent service in correcting the misrepresentations which grew out of the Spanish war and the alleged attitude of Germany to the United States. It is remarkable that while he deyoted so much time to public affairs he so wisely directed the building up of Cornell University as to make it the first In broadening its course of study so as to in( lüde technical studies.

Condition of State Banks. The State Auditor's statement on the condition of the state banks shows an increase in business since the last statement, April 30, $1,700,000. New banks have been established at Newburg, Bourbon, Rockville and Woodburn. There are one hundred and eleven banks with a capital of $4,914, -000. ,The total resources are $29,754,851.21. Genera! Shops for Peru. It is stated In Peru that the Cincinnati, Richmond & Muncie railroad will locate its general shops in that city. The commercial club has offered to provide a site of thirty acres and a bonus of $30,000. Marion and Muncie have been very anxious to get the shops and have offered more than has Peru, but Peru it is said to be preferred by the railroad as a better location. Knelt on Floor of Bank. Enos Randall, a highly respected farmer, living in Hamilton county, went to Noblesville and paid off two notes at the First National bank. As soon as the transaction was finished he knelt down on the floor in front of the teller's window and offered up a fervent prayer, thanking the Lord for deliverance from debt for the first time in 24 years. The incident attracted much attention. Prices of Bed and Corn. Corn forms the barometer of the cattle market. If it is scarce and high priced cattle will be scarce and high priced. The stock raiser who pays 60 cents per bushel for corn has to get a big price for his cattle in order to reimburse himself. It does not pay to feed small, undersized stock with high priced corn and a scarcity of medium beef results. That brings "range" cattle into the market at an increased price., and thus we have a high market all around. The same thing is largely true as to hogs. With the coming of the new corn crop prices will begin to fall, and if that crop is as large as some observers believe it will be the price of beef will go lower than it has been for years. Tolton oi Westville. The last chapter has not yet been written in the Tolton case. From appearances the return of the supposed murdered woman and the release of the husband was but the anti-climax, the real and closing climax being destined to come later in the story. Upon his return to Westville Wednesday evening Tolton raised a disturbance at his home as a result of which it was necessary for Marshal Warnke to make a visit to the place and warn him that unless he quieted down he would be arrested. Mrs. Tolton will leave her husband and go to St. Mary's, Ohio, to make her home with her brother, Charles Polsdorfer, should she recover from the nervous attack which has prostrated her. Because of his incarceration on a charge that proved groundless Tolton looks upon himself as a hero and feels that he is privileged to do about as he pleases. Mrs. Tolton says her husband has beat her many times and threatened to kill her. Tracey Commits Suicide. Harry Tracey is dead. The most talked of desperado of recent times has ended one of the most sensational man hunts id the history of the West and the entire country, with a bullet sent into his brain by his own hand. Hen&d boasted that he would never be taken alive, and he kept his word. Discovered in a barn near Fellowes, a station on the Washington Central, fifty miles west of Spokane, last Tuesday night, he made a dash for liberty. A bullet fractured his right leg, but he escaped into a wheat field, where after an unsuccessful attempt to stay the flow of blood from a severed artery he ended the long chase of nearly two months by blowing out his brains. Scores of peace officers have spent weeks and thousands of dollars in chasing the escaped convict over the states of Oregon and Washington si ace his escape from prison, June 9, but none of them was "in at the death," ad the big reward is likely to be dlided between outsiders.

A WONDERFUL TRUE STORY

The First Plate Glass Factory Established in America. Louis Ludlow writing from New Albany to the Indianapolis Sentinel says: New Albany is the cradle of the plate glass industry of the United States. The first polished plate glass manufactured in this country is still in use in the front window of a New Albany clothing store. There are two plates, each about six by fourteen feet. This glass is as nearly perfect as any manufactured today and it has bn in use since 1872. Capt. John B. Ford, who erected heretho first factory in the United States for the manufacture of polished plate glass and whose name is a household word throughout southern Indiana, is still living at ninety-one years of age at Tarentum, Pa. He has not visited the scenes of his early struggles for ten or twelve years. He came originally from Kentucky and located at Greenville, near here. "He was a natural born" inventor and invented and manufactured a machine for chopping straw. He soon moved to New Albany, where he built steamboats. His attention was attracted by a little factory at Lenox,. Mass., which was manufacturing a crude form of rough plate glass for skylights. He set his wits at work and designed the first machinery for the manufacture of polished plate glass. This machinery was made at New Albany foundries. He interested his cousin,' Washington C. DePauw, a man of large means, and they operated the first plate glass manufactory, which was a huge success, but they could not agree as to business policy and Ford sold hi3 Inest to DePauw. Ford then established factories at Louisville and Jeffersonville, which failed. Capt, Ford's history from this time furnishes the most remarkable instance on record of a man building up an immense fortune in his old age. He was seventy-eight years old when he started for New York, . but he was smooth-shaved and looked much younger, ne did not have money enough to buy to buy his railroad ticket. He arrived in New York penniless, but his wonderful genius for organization enabled him to interest big New York capitalists, who furnished the money with which he built and put in operation two immense plate-glass factories one at Tarentum and the other at Creighton, Pa. Later he founded Ford City, sixty miles east of Pittsburg, establishing there a factory employing 3,500 men, erecting an opera house and churches and introducing all modern accessions of a thriving city. About four yeais ago he sold his factories, which were all in his own name, to the plate-glass trust, for $10,000,000, and he has been living In retirement since. He was the first man in the United States to discover that natural gas could be used as a fuel for manufacturing purposes. He built his factory at Tarentum along side a coal bed, expecting to use coal for fuel, nis workmen, in making soundings, discovered gas and he was not long in harnessing the new fuel and making it do his work. In his long career of large manufacturing endeavors he never had a strike, because he always paid the highest wages that could be paid in the business. It is difficult for New Albany people to realize that the old man who left here without a penny, borrowing money to buy his railroad ticket, is now a multi-millionaire. He is afflicted with a cancer, which will soon end his noted career. He has built at Greenville, Ind., his old home, one of the finest Methodist churches in the state and his other bequests within the last two years amount to half a million dollars. Many interesting stories are told here of the late Washington C. DePauw who, as a financial genius was fully the equal of Capt. Ford. Mr. DePauw, who was a product of Washington county, started In life as a driver of an ox team at 15 cents a day and he built up a fortune of about $10,000,000. Deepest Mine in the World. It is claimed, and with reason, that the Red Jacket shaft of the Calumet & Hecla copper mine, In northern Michigan, is the deepest in the world. It has taken nine years of day and night work to sink and has cost $2,500,000. This shaft is vertical, but all the other shafts of the Calumet & Hecla follow the dip of the lode. Work on it was started in 1889, immediately after the last of the three great underground fires in the older workings of the mine, which did damage of more than $1,000,000. Work has been continued upon It since that time and the shaft stands without a parallel in mining. It. contains six compartments, each equal In size to an ordinary mining shaft, four of which are used for hcisting rock and lowering timber. One shaft is utilized for the ladderways, and the sixth and last compartment crrries the wires and pipes for telephones, light, power, water and impressed air,- Industries and Iron. j

The Immigration Army: It is not the large number of Immigrants coming to this country that is cause of anxiety so much as the quality.' The number of immigrants during the fiscal year which ended with June was 648,743. When the population of the United States is spoken of in tens of millions, immigration figures of 1902 appear insignificant, but they are larger than the population of thirteen states. Last year's Immigration was more than one-fourth of the population of Indiana in 1900. It is a sixth more than the population of Colorado, four times the population of Idaho and 100,000 more than double the population of Utah. If the number of the immigrants of 1902 should be taken from the population of Maine the state would have less than 50,000 and would lose three members in the house of representatives. Every one of the male immigrants who came during the fiscal year 1902 could vote in Indiana in November, 1903, should he reside in the state six months. Fortunately, the states to which most of these immigrants go require full naturalization before voting. If one-fourth of 648,743 immigrants should go to any other country in the world in a single year they would sö overtax the labor market as to force thousands to pauperism, yet during the past two years the United States received 1,136,661 immigrants, 60 per cent of whom are common laborers or servants. For the present, in these prosperous times, which have continued since the first of 1898, this country has employment for all those people, but what will be the condition when these vast armies of common laborers shall be no longer needed? The darkest feature of this influx of foreigners from many countries and with alien tongues is that 28.7 per cent, of those who have been coming to us the past two years over fourteen years of age are illiterate. These ignorant people, so long the victims of misrule, are .always against lawful authority. Of the 638,843 immigrants, 67.8 per cent, are destined for the states of Illinois, Masrachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania, the states of the large cities. They come to us, 84 per cent of them, more than four-fifths, either without occupation or able to do only the roughest labor, without any adequate means to care for themselves, the average amount of money per capita being $16. They must accept the first labor offered at the lowest figure. They have been used to take the places of the lower grades of labor In mines in Pensylvania when there have been strikes. The turbulent element at the preseut time in the anthracite region are foreigners who have been taken there from time to time to take the places of strikers. The wonder is that congress cannot be made to see the peril which this enormous influx of ignorant foreigners involves in the event of Industrial stagnation. -Indianapolis Journal. Appointed Irrcmovabla Rector. Very Rev. John II. Guendling, formerly pastor at the cathedral in Fort Wayne, and for a time administrator of the Fort Wayne Roman Catholic diocese, has been appointed to the irremovable rectorship of the St. Charles' church at Peru, Ind., to succeed the late Father Meissner, Sold for Thirty Cents. Harvey Tallerday, of Elkhart, begins to think that his wife and Morgan Gordon were in earnest when they "called his bluff" five weeks ago. He went home unexpectedly and found Mrs. Tallerday entertaining Gordon, but he didn't grow hysterical and, after a few flippant remarks, declared he would sell "the woman" for thirty cents. Gordon asked the woman if she was willing to be sold, and when she gave the affirmative reply he handed over to the spouse the sum of thirty cents. Gordon and Mrs. Tallerday then departed, and Tallerday hasn't heard from them since. Mrs. Tolton Returns to Westville. While an excited mob was watch ing the Michigan City life saving crew drag Clear lake in a search for the body of Mrs. William Tolton, who it was believed had been slain by her husband, the determination of the angry citizens to hold a lynching bee was cooled by the information from Chicago that the missing woman was on a Wabash train en route to the village. The solution of the mystery proves that but fcr the bravery of Marshal Warncke of Westville an innocent man would have been dragged from the jail that fateful Monday night in his career and hanged by the neck until dead. The story told by Mrs. Tolton tallies in every particular With the statements made by Tolton before and after his Incarceration in jail. She said she was furnished a ticket by Tolton to go to Chicago, with the understanding that she was to enter a hospital for an operation. She visited a hospital, but was told by the physician in charge that her case did not warrant the use of the knife, and medicine was prescribed for tho ail

3C A Farmer's Knowledge of Law. Farmer Shaw of Orange county owned a sheep-killing dog, but was ignorant of the nature of the brute. The other morning his household pet was caught in the act of killing sheep, while seven carcasses were scattered around,- and he shot the dog, and then presented a bill to the county commissioners for the eight sheep killed. The commissioners heard his story and laughed long and loud over the proposition to pay a man for sheep owned by himself and killed by his own dog. Then the farmer began exploiting his knowledge of the law and the commissioners concluded to call in the county attorney. The attorney advised the commissioners to settle, and the farmer thereupon drew pay for his sheep killed by his own dog. It is an application of the law to which the commissioners were not accustomed and the board is still unreconciled. Washington Democrat. Surety cn Bends.
