Commissioner First IMstrict GEORGE STOCK, C mm!ioner Second D.sirlct, Joseph coak. Government deposits with national banks amount to 12S,000,000, business interests getting the benefit of a large sum which otherwise would be tied up in the treasury. The death of General Sigel calls the attention of those who recall the historj of forty years ago to a man who was conspicuous as a patriot and helpful as an officer, even if his command was not alwavs victorious. And no one rises seriously to dispute Mr. Whitney's brief but explicit diagnosis of the democratic party's malady "No issues and no leader." "What has become of the reorganizes? "Where hath Harmony fled? When the late Senator McMillan was re-elected nearly three years ago, he received every vote of the Michigan legislature. There was only one democrat in that body and he did not care to put in nomination a candidate of his own. Editor Watterson, of the Louisville Journal fires another broadside at Grover Cleveland. He characterizes the ex-presideat as an artful, selfish, ignoring vulgar politician. He puts the case a great deal stronger than therepublicans did ten years ago. It is said Attorney General Knox takes a deep personal interest in the suits that have been instituted by his direction ior the enforcement of the Sherman anti-trust law, and that he fully expects to get a favorable judgment in the supreme court. , Major W. J. Richards, who made a fortune out of the Indianapolis News and squandered a part thereof in the effort to build op a rival paper after disposing of bis interest in the former; is about to become president of a new national bank at Indianapolis, to be called The Union National. Associated. with him is to be Robert E. Morrison, of Lapbrte, who is to serve as vice president and cashier. United States Treasurer Roberts reports that the stck of gross gold in the national treasury now is the largest in the country's history, amounting to over 8591,000,000 and it is steadily growing. More than $7,000,000 was pided within the last month. This is 2.11 due to good republican management. Such a condition of things was never heard of under a democratic administration. J. Pierpont Morgan has returned from his extended European trip and has resumed business at the old stand. The coal strike will probably have his attentioa at an early day. It is reasonable to assume that he will find a way out of the difficulty. A .slight concession will probably satisfy the miners. Morgan will impress upon the minds of the operators the necessity of settling-the strike. President Mitchell will probably be called in to talk matters over, with result of some sort of a compromise being patched up to resume business early in September.
It appears that tbe only obstacle now in tbe way of a settlement of the coal strike is the recognition of the miners' union. The operators are said tobe willing to pay higher wages, but as to recognizing the uuivn. that They say they will not do it.
General Chaffee has issued an order that only in the case of a written call from the governor ol a province for assistance will thetioopsin the Philippines interfere with the enforcement of law by- the civil authorities. That removes all possibility of the danger of a clash of authorities. A number of Columbia University men, who must work their way through college, have volunteered to do housework, and in the hours between study will attend to furnances. serve at table, wash dishes, or do odd jobs about the premises. No doubt New York women will welcome their aid. The domestic problem has to be solved somehow, and if its solution shall come through the universities it will be so much to their credit. Thursday's Indianapolis ."News said: The republicans are rapidly maturing their plans for the speaking campaign in Indiana. . A semi-official announcement was made today that it will open September 20, with Senator Fairbanks at Anderson, Senator Beveridge at South Bend and Governor Durbin, Frederick K. Landis, of Loansport, and Congressman Grosvenor of Ohio, at Marion. It is probabie that these will be the principal meetings of the day, although the campaign is to open simultaneously in each district. The New Orleans Times Democrat phvlosophiess in this way about the next congress: Allagree that the dem ocrats will reduce the republican majority in the house, but there seems to be grave doabts whether the democrats will be able to secure an actual majority. But this, after all is a small matter. A democratic majority in the house cannot accomplish anything beyond checking partisan legislation, as the other branch of congress is republican; and a majority in the house will not help democracy." The grapes are very bitter and democrats don't care about them anyway. Associate Justice Horace Gray, who has just retired, is the oldest member of the supreme bench in years of life and the oldest in service except John M. Harlan. He was appointed in 1S81, while Harlan's service dates from 1877. Judge -Gray was one of the most active, until recently, and learned of American Jurists, and his retirement will remove a historic personage. His successor, Justice Holmes, the son of the well known American writer of that name, has had a wide reputation for scholarship and balance for many years. Tbe traditions of the country's most exalted tribunal for ability and sanity will be maintained. More of Prof. Mill's Views. The feature of Dr. G. Stanley Hall's address at the Chicago university which attracted the most attention was his reference to the use of slang. The address was extremely suggestive in other particulars, however, and some of these, not so widely reported, may perhaps seem to the layman more convincing than the discussion of slang. Dr. Hall ridculed the notion of reasoning with a child under ten years of age, and declared himself an advocate of spanking when wayward children were m need of discipline. "We teach the children to wag the tongue, wag the pen, and zig-zag their eyes across a line, while they want training that will bring the larger muscles into play," saiJ Dr. Hall. 'The cruel law that makes the child bend Its energies to getting Accuracy in its finer muscles when the basal muscles need attention should be taken from the school room. .The larger muscles naturally develop first. The child wants freedom of action, not repression. Cut off a tadpole's tail and it never, has any legs. Repress the instinct of the child to useJts larger muscles first, and you stunt the child.' Do not reason much with a child about matters of moral conduct. It is not worth while. " A child under ten years of age has not learned to reason. Insist on what you want done. It is absurd to make a child sit still In school. It is sometimes thought to be good discipline for little children. It is not. When the child sits still its mind becomes ' stagnant. More movement means more mental action, up to a certain limit. Playing,, power is culture power. The child that has not the vital energy to play lacks the energy to be well educated. New York Evening Post. Signatures of Boer Lexers. The peace agreement between the British 'and Boer leaders is typewritten and is probably the first instrument of the kind. Louis Botha's signature is described as being in a "fine clerkly hand." The others are all somewhat rougher,, and Delarey's is stated to be. the roughest of all. By the way,' he splits his name up in three syllables, thus: de la Ray, while his redoubtable colleague of the late Free State signs himself Christian de Wet also with a small "d. "
DOOLEY DISCUSSES POLITICS
He Tells Mr. Hennessy How Judges, Clerks, Treasurers, Representatives and Commissioners Are Made. I shall lave politicks fornver, " said Mr. Dooley. "Why do ye say that,", asked Mr! Ilenw sy. "Beause," said Mr. Dooley, "the political cipter has passed from the nurveliss hands of such min as Bath House John and Hinky Dink, the ghreat politikal captains of Chicago, to the politikal luminaries who are enthroned . on the banks cf Yellow River in the capital of Marshall Coonty, Indyany." "Make yersilf clear," said Mr. Hennessy. 'Well thin, I will tell ye" said Mr. Dooley. "Hennessy the toime was whin New York and Chicago cud give the woorld pointers in foine politikal woork, but 'tis gone, "said Mr. Dooley. "There was Boss Tweed and August Shnell of the metroopolis of the Impire State that wan day were the pride and gloory of our nashon, there was Bath House John, Hinky Dink and a host of others that spread the fame of New York and Chicago to distant climbs, even to the gates of Belewchistan and Boolgary, but now air the mighty fallen. ! "The divil a man would pay riverince to ather of them, now since John Wolfert, Bill Everly, Bill O'Kafe and the Monte Cristo Jekel and Heyde ex-sheriff of Polk township, Indyany, have rizen, as mo friend the poet says, "like Venus dhripping from the waves." "Put me nixt to it," said Mr. Hennessv. "Well," said Mr. Dooley, they have a way of hipnootizing the people down in Indyany that wud shame a Chicago Alderman out of his job,'' said Mr. Dooley. "Two years ago Novimber comin," said Mr. Dooley," there assimbled on a tumble night, in the classick quarthers of dimocricv over Woolfert's saloon, a number of gintlemin thin unknown to fame. There wor prisint the two Bills Bill Everlv and Bill O'Jvafe. Lige, Ney and the Prince of the Dookdum of Polk Township, Hinery the Fürst surnamed Hinery the Little." "Were a band of patriots," says they, lave us save the guvirmint and Marshall County," says they, from the mackinations of the people," says they. "Lave us make a shlate, wid me on it," said O'Kafe. "I will run for trisurer and havj the jnterest on the people's money in my own hands, as trisurer, until me two terms a.e out, and thin, there being no law that permits me successor to take it from me. I can bring it along wid me whin I go back to work, "said he. "Tis a great idee," says they. "We must have a judge," says Woolfert, lave that to me," says he." "We nade the clerk of the coort two, " says Everly. I have a friend, " says he. who has niver been in the penitenchiry !North," says he, "who wud make a good clerk," says he. "That's the man for ye, "says they, one who is smart enough to kape out." "Who will it be," savs they? I'll tell ye lather, says Everly. We mus'nt forgit the board of county commissioners, says Martindale's parthner. "I'm tired of Cider, says he, "I'll go Anglin," says he, "lave me attend to that laboorinist task," says tie. "Are je all done, says Jekell ana Heyde from Polk Township. "If ye are thin, says he, permit me to mintion the name ofthe greathest and grandest statesman in the Dookdum of .Polk, Mr. Charles Limert, of Taygarden," says he. "We'll put himintrainin now," says he, "and by the time of the. time of the, primary's he'll be down so fine that he'll canther past the little edither of the Indipinde'nt like a Derby winner past a mile post," says he. "Not Interruption' ye, who will we have for commissioners, " says Marshal Ney. "William Troop and Jim Wade in the Fürst; Jake Lee, Cris Fisher, Hinery Grossman and Joe Anglin iu the Second, " says Everly. ' "But there's but wan commissioner to be nominated In eachflisthrick," sajVNey, "which ones will we pull for, " says he.'"Natber of thim and all of thim, "says Everly. "We're for ivery man of thim that getselekted" says he, "and to the divil with those that are bate," says he. "Whin the votin' is over tbe suckcessfull wans will think we did the worrk, and there we are," says he. "How will we manage to desave the people, " says wan of thim. "By pretindlng in publick to be inlmies of wan another, "says Everly. "Ye 're a wise head, "says Ney. "If ye had spint as many hours in turnin' the pasteboards as myself and . in mastering the intricaslas of Blacks tone's Commlntaries on the Law of Poker as Ibave," says he, "ye wuJ make an ixcellent candidate for - judge yourself , "says he. ' 1 :
A judge, " says Everly, ' 'has no bus-
iness meddling with the law, or with anything else," says Everly. "He should attind to his business, if he has any business to attind to," says he, and lave the Grand Jooery and the administration of the law to the United Orther of Pathriots to w hitch we belong, " says he. "If ye kape grow in' in w isdom" says Woolfert, "ye will be fit to sit wid mesilf, Lige and Ney in thefoor by siven front parlor of me Lapoort Street saloon, "says he. "T would be a great honor," says Everlv. I may reach it yet," says he, "but me legs are too long to stretch undher the mehogany of yer diminutive parlor," says he. "The worrld is my countbry and to do the innocents my religion," says Everlv. "Twas a great conciption," said Mr. Hennessy, "Langtry, or Singry, for auditor, Jones for clerk. O'Kafe for trisurer, Troop and Anglin, for commissioners, Martindale and Stavens for judge, and Iverly for ringmaster. "Did they all win out,'" asked Mr. Hennessy? "All but two of thim," sais Mr. Dooley. "In the second round Martindale struck his foot on a banana peel as he was looping the loop and was dashed against the procenium post of the Academy of Music at Rochester, Indiany, and his partner has antikamlna of the jaw and has not spoken above a whisper since the accident'" "What will become of the hoky poky, county and 'oodishul ticket? will they be elected? "asked Mr. Hennessy. 'Well," said Mr. Dooley, "if they are, they ought to pull down the school houses in Indiana, and turn the giound oyer to the beet trust, for edication is a failure, "says lie. The Congressional Apportionment. We do not see that the congressional reapportionment greatly favors the democratic party. There will be twenty-nine new members. The New York Sun says that by far the. larger number of these will come from democratic states. On the basis of the vote of 1900, eighteen of these new representatives will come from republican states, and eleven from democratic states. California gains one. Connecticut one, Illinois three, Massachusetts one, Minnesota two, New Jersey two, New York, three. North Dakota one, Pennsylvania two, West Virginia one, and Wisconsin one. Here is a total of eighteen, all from states that voted for McKinley in 1900. The democrats gain one each in Arkansas, Colorado, Florida. Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina and Washington, and three in Texas, or a total of eleven. There will doubtless be some shifting in these states, but it does not seem probable that the democrats wi'l do more than "split even" on the new representatives. The reaction, it is true, may enable them to do better than that. But on its face the new apportionment certainly does not favor the democrats unduly. Indianapolis News. Wedded Ina Lions' Den. Surrounded bv fortv fierce lions, tigers, bears, panthers, and other wild beasts, Miss Martha Calvin and Nels Swam were united in marriage at Janesville, Wis., at 9 o'clock Wednesday evening in the caged enclosure of the animal show connected with the Elks' street carnival. Justice Earle performed the ceremony, and was so nervous that he never took his eyes off the beasts. The happy but frightened couple entered the cage and stood in position before the animals were allowed into the ring. Ten animal attendants stood guard, but, in spite of this the bride nearly fainted when the first lion entered and stood facing her for fully a minute. Five thousand people witnessed .the ceremony, and a deathlike silence was maintained throughout the whole till the frightened couple were safely outside the 1 barred arena. Then' . congratulations were sliowered thick, the crowd nearly . mobbing the couple so eager was everyone to shakev their hands. The couple was presented with $200 in cash and $200 worth of furniture. - In the Same Situation. A funny story is told about a physician at Monroe City. A resident of the town set out shade trees for the doctor. A short time later the physician was called to attend the mother-in-law of the man who had set out the trees. The old lady died, and the physician presented his bill- After paying it, the citizen thought of the trees and made out and presented a bill for them "But the trees died," protested the doctor;" "So did my mother-in-law," retorted the other man. The doctor paid the bill. Kansas City Journal. ' . Michigan City's Claim. .- - Michigan City wants the United States Naval Training School, which thegoverhment will establish at somepoint on the great lakes. The ' iast congress authorized the navy department tq establish such a school.' The ' business men . of Michigan City have asked Indiana senators and congressmen to do all ' they can to secure the school.
THE OLD SETTLERS
Will Hold Fourth Annual Meeting Near Lapaz, August 30. The fourth annual meeting of the old settlers will take place Saturday, August 30, in Wilson's grove, on the Michigan road, near Lapaz. The several committee, are busy, preparations being made to entertain 5,000 people. Brass bands, graphophones, etc., will add to the day's pleasures. A grand chorus ol 300, including some of the oldest people of Indiana, will sing: "Auld Lang Syne," "Home, Sweet Home," and "The Old Oaken Bucket." The merry-go-round will afford lots of fun for young and old. The men of 70 and older will meet in front of the postoffice and march to the grounds. August 30 will be a da of mirth and festivity. Prominent speakers will address the people and pioneers will relate reminiscences of the early history of Northern Indiana. South Bend, Plymouth and other towns are contributing their share in making the fourth annual meetfng a grand success. All persons having relics are requested to bring them. Booths will be arranged for relics and will be in charge of a special committee. The accommodations will be first class in every particular. The refreshment stauds on the grounds will be in charge of the Old Setters' committee. All are Invited to come with well filled baskets and spend the day in the beautiful wood. Baskets,bicycles,etc, checked free of charge. Don't forget the Old Settlers. "The cause in which they shone is immortal. The country is their monument. Its independence is their epitaph." A New Tulip Bed. Mr. Charles M. Schw ab has "made" $18,500,000. He bought the Bethlehem steel works for $7,500 000, so it is reported. He has "sold" it to the shipbuilding trust for $26,000,000 in its securities, or, as the report runs, for $10,000;000 of trust deed certificates, $8,000,000 of preferred and $8,000.000 of common. This is che way people once "made" money in the tulip mania in Holland. Everyone concerned "made" a lot of monev until some foolish man tried to realize. Even Mr. Schwab cannot eat the shares and bonds of the shipbuilding trust. They will not do for wall paper. The trust can make no more money than the business of its separate plants can make united, and there is not one of tnem but, to the knowledge of all men, has had and not long ago the driest of dry years. This money can be made" only by selling these securities to the public. Will the public buy? It has seen asphalt smash, it has watched rubber go down and it sees even the great steel trust hanging at prices which are ridiculous if people really believed that full years in iron and steel can last. If the public does not buy this, money will not be "made." It will go where the money went "mads" in tulips, in South Sea securities, in mines and the New York realty craze and the western realty booms about Indianapolis and other western cities in 1873, In California lands m 1883 and in a great array of southern land sites and mines in 1893. Philadelphia Press. How to Stop the Deficit. An officer of the treasuiy department thinks one practical, way to stop the deficit in the postal department is to stop the free distribution of congressional documents and department reports, wfcich the auditor says costs as much as $12,000,000 a year, and the other is to reduce the amounts paid to. railroads for carrying the mails.. Both might. be adopted without injury to the public. The distribution cu public documents might be greatly curtailed without loss In educational effect. The fact is that the newspapers give these reports, or at least the popular' and salient points of them, before they are issued, and when they reach the reader by reason of the courtesy of the congressman or senator have become aged and really ancient history. Of course there are exceptions, but a discerning law would take account of these. But the general reader who takes the paper is Informed before the documents can arrive, and they are then of value chiefly as books of reference for libraries," schools, editorial rooms, and kindred places. Elkhart Review. Capital and Labor. On the subject of labor and capital the new justice of the supreme court, Oliver Wendell Holmes has some positive and quite sensible views, ne believes in exact, equality between the two interests and nothing more. "Capital should not oppress labor" he says, "nor labor attempt to cripple capital. Labor has the same rights of organization as capital and to accomplish its purpose of organization in any manner not disturbing to the public peace or disrupting the equilibrium of the government. There should be no force exerted to give either labor or capital an advantage over the other, legal or otherwise, or any unjust discjlmlnaj tion againts the rights of either!
