The monthly report of the public debt shews that it was decreased almost six millions of dollars during the month of August. This is the republican wav ot doing business. Hon. David Bennett Hill is enlightening the rural population of New York state, with the purpose of correcting the false impression that Mr. Bryan has put him out of politics. John R. McLean, judging from his newspaper, is entirely satisfied to have Mayor Johnson run the democratic machine in an off year, but he and bis friends will see to it that the Johnson ticket is held within reasonable bounds. Mr. McLean does not take a brass band with him wherever he goes. President Roosevelt made another very frank talk Tuesday concerning trusts. He refuses to believe that organized capital or corporations are in themselves an evilbut he admits that some of them may do wrong, or try to, and for this reason they should all be brought under national regulation and control. A ew York dispatch says that -what are known in the markets as industrial stocks are being let alone even by stock speculators. As most of the industrials fall under tne head of trusts, it is evident that they are not earning dividends on the excessive capitalization with which some of Ihvm arc burdened. There were twj republicans and one democrat voted for for governor inYerxnu.t Tuesday. Each of the republicans gut more votes than the one democrat; but the legislature will have to elect one of the candidates governor because the constitution of Vermont requiies a candidate to have a majority of all the votes cast if he is elected by the people. The republican cougiessional committee has received very encouraging reports from the west regarding the political outlook and expects to make republican gains in the house. Conditions are so favorable that the idea of establishing western headquarters in Chicago has been abandoned, and the campaign will be conducted en tirely from New York. Representative Hepburn, of Iowa, says the county in which he lives illustrates the prosperity and contentment of the people generally. On Aug. 1 the banks in the county, which has a population of 24,000, bad individual deposits of 82,725,000, an average of 8110 for every man. woman and child in the county. Against such a condition as that democratic stories are powerless. There was not a shade of politics in the deserved tribute that President Roosevelt pad to the farmers and their sturdy, vigorous contributions to national life and growth. It is no new thing, but a fact that all history has proved that the life on the soil has produced the best specimens of manly citizenship, scholarly development and humane character that the modem world has known. Elkhart Review. , Senator Fairbanks "favors arbitration as the only means whereby satisfactory adjustment of differences between labor and capital may be secured, and he firmly believes that organized labor-will be the medium of bringing about this system of settling disputes without strikes or without the arousing of bitter sentiment He does not believe in compulsory arbitration, but in reasonable, fair outspoken agreement between the two

factions in arriving at a settlement. ; ne thinks the formation oi a civic federat'.on in which capital and labor nave an equal representation will be the instrument of bringing about the I adoption generally of a system of arbicration in all labor troubles. .

Dr. Andrews, of Nebraska State University, thinks the weak point of both of the great political parties in ; this country is failure to recognize the great changes that have taken place in economic, commercial and social conditions, and to adapt themeslves to them. In other words, he thinks the business world moves much faster than the political and that commerce is getting far ahead of statesmanship.7 It 13 certainly true that e:v7 conditions require new methods zld that old-fashioned competition :ZTn nsTer te legislated tack tor econi r-yirt life anv more than stage coaches "--d canal boats can be revived as popzj means of transportation The that does not move with the ;-z3 nill cst 111X1 0Yer

Democratic Confession. The Hon. Samuel Alschuler, a lead

ing Illinois Democrat, and his party's last candidate for rrovemor, in his labor day speech In CI Jcago uaad-3 an interesting confession! "There isa cry," he said, "against great combinations of capital, coming from all parties, and while it is time that something should be done, no party has formulated a remedy." That Mr. Alschuler 's party has formulated no remedy is evident. Democratic leaders, from Mr. Bryan dowu or up are fervent in denunciation of trust evils, but offer no remedy save destruction of all trusts. Continually to shout "Wipe out the trusts!" is very easy. It is also very cheap. It is pleasing to observe that Mr- Alschuler, despite his apparent despair, has brains enough to avoid Mr. Bryan's anti-trust cheapness. To preserve the good and repress the evil of trusts is the problem. Of a problem relating to an industrial mechanism so vast and so complicated there eyidently can be no offhand solution. Only political quacks will pretend to have completely solved the problem. Yet, while the democratic partv, as represented by its acknowledged leaders, confesses inability to find a remedy for trust evils save in destruction of all trusts without dscrimination, the republican party makes no such confession. On the contrary, the republican party declares that the trust problem can and will be solved, and works patiently and with every hope of success to that end. That is the great difference between the two parties. "While the democratic party denounces and despairs, the republican party works ana achieves. Inter Ocean. Chinese Labor Needed at Manila. It is the opinion at the war department that Governor Taft's remarks at the board of trade banquet in Manilla respecting the employment of labor on plantations will form the basis of a suggestion to congress at the next session, that the act extending the Chinese exclusion laws to the Philippines be amended. It is contemplated to remove the ironclad restriction which now exists and clothe the Philippine commission with power to regulate the entrance of Chinese labor. The commission itself alreadv has given some attention to this subject and it is believed Prof. Jenk's investigation into the labor problem in the Straits settlements and elsew here in the orient meet with its approval. Tie proposed regulations it is said will look to a wisely regulated system of admissions of Chinese as plantation laborers under sufficient bonds in each case, under proper systems of identification and a condition that they shall leave the Philippines after certain periods of time. Such regulations as exist in Hawaii for the proper care of the coolies would' be incorporated. Governor Taft's representations on this subject were in answer to pressing demands from the American chambers of commerce and employers of labor in the Philippines for relief from the present conditions, which it is alleged prevent the development of the country. Indians and Filipinos. A United States marshal, with an armed force of deputies is now in possession of the capi tol building at Tishimingo, seat of government of the Chickasaw tribe in the Indian territory. He is there to keep the peace and prevent the rival factions of. the Chickasaw legislature, now assembling, from fighting for control of the tribal government. His presence is necessary because these Indians, after several generations of contact with civilization, are not yet able to govern themselves sufficiently tu refrain from physical violence in their political disputes. "' In the spectacle now presented at Mishimingo there should bean inspiration of patience and charity to those who find fault so freely and so bitterly because we have not yet completely established self-government in the Philippines. In all the external marks of civilization the average Chickasaw is far ahead of the average Filipino, Take education, for example. Not over 10 per cent of . the Filipinos can read. Against this illiteracy of 90 per cent in the Philippines is an illiteracy of less than 16 per cent in the Indian territory. And the Chickasaws, taken alone, have still a lower percentage of illiteracy. Self-government cannot ba taught to people Ignorant of it, in the life of one man or of a dozen men. It mast be learned by accumulating experience through many generations. The American people are able as a whole to govern themselves because they have . inherited the experience , of nearly 100 generations in the art. Races which have no such Inheritance do. not really know .vthate Eelfgovernment means. These Chickasaw Indians, in spite of their formal.ed ucation and their 200 years of contact with the white man, do not yet fully realize It3 meaning.

INSTANTLY KILLED

Little Daughter of Joseph F. Kline Meets Death at Crossing. Wagon Demolished, Team Killed and Small Boy Narrowly Escapes Death Sunday Afternoon. At the crossing of the Pennsylvania railway, four miles west of town, near the farm of Commissioner Fred Seider, at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, the seven-year-old daughter of J. F. Kline, a farmer residing on the Ringle place, was instantly killed by a fast train going east. Mr. Kline, with his son, aged 11 years, and his little daughter, went to a farm near South Bend- Saturday to get a flock of sheep. They were returning with the sheep, the father driving lhem, the boy and girl driving ahead in the wagon. Just as they reached" the crossing the boy saw the fast tram coming at lightning speed. The track at that point has been lowered recently, making a steep incline at the crossing. The boy realized the danger, sprang from the wagon and seized the horses by the bits, but the team was frightened, the wagon was pressing down the hill against them, and they dashed across the track. The train, running at a speed of more than a mile-a-minute struck the front wheels of the wagon, killed both horses, throwing them to the south side of the track and the wagon to the north side. The little girl, sitting on the spring seat was struck on the side of the head and her head was almost severed from her body. In some unaccountable way the seat was lifted from the wagon on to the pilot, the lifeless body ot the child fell back on the seat and child and seat remained on the pilot until the train was stopped forty rods from where the seat was lifted from the wagon. The remains were brought to this city where they were prepared for burial by Undertaker Bunnell, and were taken to the home of the parents Sunday evening. From there they were taken to Bunker Hill for interment Tuesday forenoon. It is reported that the whistle did not sound nor the bell ring when the train approached the crossing. The child was a bright little girl. Her name was Agnes Irene, and sadness and a feeling of horror pervades the neighborhood in which the accident occurred. A National Corporation Law. Those who think that a national law regulating corporations is impracticable may be surprised to learn that such a law exists in Great Britain. It was passed in 1662 and is called the Companies act. Among other things it requires every commercial or mannfacturing corporation to be registered. Any corporation required to be registered and not registered is an illegal association, and its members cannot take advantage of any of the benefits conferred by the act, such as limited liability, etc. The register must contain first the memorandum of association, including the name and objects of the proposed company and the place where its registered office is situate; second, the articles of association; third, a list of members and shareholders, with a statement of the amount held by each shareholder, and other particulars; fourth, any contract by which a share is issued otherwise than for cash. These provisions do not differ materially from those of the coporalion laws in most states, but the point Is the British law is national. Under our constitution a national corporation law would not differ in principle from a national bankruptcy law. A Curious Snake. Eli Rupe, while discussing with a friend the other day the question as to whether a snake laid engs, or not, was enabled to prove that that they did by plowing up quite a number of eggs shortly afterwards, and breaking open one of them found a live snake coiled up inside the shell. Allen Fisher, who had discussed the subject with him, very willingly "owned up" that the proof was clear and was perfectly satisfied that at least some varieties of the serpent species do lay eggs. - "What was especially peculiar in this case was the fact that the little serpent possessed two well-formed heads. It lived about two hears after the egg was broken open ?.hd Mr. Rupe preserved its body int. small bottle of alcohol. Warsaw Times. Reception in Honor of Rev. Htmry. At the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Stout on Friday evening Rev. G. W. Hemry was given a reception, a farewell social gathering, . previous to his departure for Lexington, Ky., this week where he will finish a course in the university. The reception at Mr. and Mrs. Stout's was a very en joyable affair. The guests numbered about twenty-five. Light refreshments were served. Warsaw Times.

MOUNT PELEE AGAIN.

Over Two Hundred Lives Lost by Another Eruption and a Mighty Tidal Wave. Mount Telee is dealing death and destruction again. It has been in a constant state of eruption since Aug. 15. Last Saturday night there were three eruptions. At 8 o'clock in the evening of that day the sky was cloudless. Suddenly and without warning one-half of the horizon was obscured by a Ditch-black cloud of dust. This cloud was the center of most magnificent electric effects, the flashes of light surpassing the most elaborate fireworks. Flames and flashes continued to burst from the cloud until nearly midnight. Columns of flame shot out of the craterof Mount Pelee to explode about the cloud in showers of balls of golden fire, which fell through the darkness in myriads of sparks. Three large aureoles were seen in the sky over the opening of the crater. The village of Morne Rouge, near the ruins of St. Pierre, was entirely destroyed and over two hundred lives were lost. A tidal wave rushed upon Fort de France and the terrified inhabitants fled in large numbers to the interior. The wave was not severe and did but little damage. At midnight Mt. Pelee was quiet; shortly after this hour there came another shower of ashes, accompanied by vivid sheet lightning. It is impossible to approach the ruined town of St. Pierre from the sea. The few survivors in the village of Le Carbet, on the coast, are'terror stricken and flying to the interior. Hot water is pouring down on Lorraine and Basse Pointe, villages east of the crater. Horrible detonations were heard, the ground rocked and quaked and articles on tables were thrown to the floor. From the mouth of the Mouillage northward there is scarcely any sign that that the city of St. Pierre once extended a mile in that direction; and over all the country up to Morne Rouge is a thin coat of mud, like light colored cement, looking as if it had been plastered on by a human hand. The floor of the whole great amphitheater seems to be covered with, this mud, in two great fan-shaped formations. The rivers flowing through this look like inky streams of lava, and along their course and on the borders of the sea hundreds of small jets of white steam rise into the air like clouds. Old Settlers' Meeting. The old settlers' picnic at Lapaz on Saturday was very largely attended and was one of the most enjoyable meetings yet held. The program was fully carried out and the music and and addresses were excellent. The principal addresses in the afternoon were by Prof. Hering and H. G. Thayer, Both aderesses were carefully prepared and were well received. Hon. C. H. Reeve was present and gave one of his inimitable talks. Normans. Woodward and other old settlers gave interesting reminiscences. Below is the program, which will give a good idea of the meeting. Forenoon 10:45 Music Bv the Band Invocation. .Rev. G. A.

S. Woodward, and other old settlers. Music . ...... By the Band Song. . . "Home, Sweet Home" No Belief in the Age Limit A great many 'things are said on this subject today and, as a man approaches the two-score line he dreads the possibility of being forced into the background. A writer in the Cosmopolitan says: "Middle-aged me nwho feel despondently that the dead line is drawn at forty ought to be encouraged by the opinions of Charles T. Yerkes, who is undertaking to conquer London at 65. 'Young men are in their apprenticesnip,' he says, 'till the age of 40. At that age they begin to see the steps they have made, and the next ten years form the crucial period of a man's career.- Successes that come when a young man is still in his twenties and thirties is due more to to good luck tban to good management. The fact that I lost a million myself entitles me to speak with authority.' Mr. Yerkes considers a business man-ripe at fifty, not before. The head of the Postal Department assumes that if a postmaster attends to his duties he will have no time to vet as the head of a campaign committee. The assumption is a proper one.

MORTUARY.

Mrs. Samuel Wener. Mrs. Anna Wener. wife of Samuel Wener, residing west of Lapaz. died Sunday, August 31st, 1902, aged 72 years. 4 months and 13 days. Mrs. Wener was an excellent ladv, and was one of the oldest residents of the vicinity in which she lived. She was born in Ohio, her maiden name was Thomas and she was a sister of Joseph F. Thomas, for many years a resident of this city. She had been almost a life-long member of the German Baptist church and led a consistent christian life. She leaves a husband but no living children. She was alwavs a mother to the fatherless and several adopted children mourn the death of a mother. Her last illness was of about seven months' duration and was borne patiently. Funeral services were held on Tuesday at 11 o'clock a. m., at the German Baptist church, northwest of Lapaz. Death of Mrs. Carey. Mrs. George W Carey, of Tippecanoe, this county, arrived at Marion Friday night for a visit with her daughter, Mrs. Herbon Strahn, who lives in a second story flat on South Washington street. When Mrs. Carey reached the top of the stairway she sank to the floor and then rolled down the stairway. She was picked up dead. It is believed that heart trouble was the cause of her death. She was fifty-five years oid. George W. Carey is well known here in Plymouth by many of our people and all of them will deeply sympathize with him in his great loss. . Mrs. Sarah Turner. Mrs. Sarah Turner, widow of the late Levi Turner, of Argos, died at Rockfield, Ind., Tuesday morning, after a long illness, aged 70 years and 25 days. Deceased was the mother of J. E. and Charles Turner, of this city, and made her home here several months after the death ot her husband. Besides the sons above mentioned she has two sons in Argos and a daughter, Mrs. W. J. Rankin, of Los Angeles, Cal., who had been at the bedside of her mother for several months before her death. Mrs. Tnrner was-married July 17, 1S53, and came with her husband to . Argos, from Carroll county, in 188S, and Argos was her home at the time of her death. She wer-t to Rockfield last winter to visit her mother, was taken sick there and was not able to return home. Her mother, who is 93 years old, is still Hying. The remains were brought to Argos for interment and funeral " services will be held there Thursday at 2.30 p. m. Labor Day in Chicago. Labor day orators spoke to vacant seats and wasted their eloquence in vacant parks. Turning from the traditional picnic, with Its old time spreadeagleism, its laudatory rhetoric and glowing promises, Chicago's army of workmen marched together in the mightiest organized demonstration in the history of trades unionism and let pass almost unnoticed the display of verbal pyrotechnics. Not to listen, but to act, was the motto of every unionist. Eager for a chance to show what a mighty force they are, the workmen indicated that they wished to do their duty by tramping in the line. Of all the speakers at the meetings Samuel Alschuler alone fathomed the minds of the laborers. "All over the land today," he said, "we shall hear sounds of popular accord from the platform, but let me say that the labor speech is only 'hot air.' " From the 150 auditors at Sharpshooters' park that heard this characterization came a burst of applause. "You're right,1' yelled one and "It's so," shouted another.' As Mr. Alschliiler continued to speak in this strain it was plain to be seen that he was giving voice to what the unionists believed. "The speeches are sweet music to the ear to-day," he continued,. "but tomorrow you will proceed to toil in the same old way. The 4hot air' you are getting today will not help mat ters. This vast gathering of corporate interests will continue despite the oratory. You may be called upon to pay $10 a ton for coal just the same." Won $500.000 on Futurity. John W. Gates in discussing the victory of Savable in the futurity race on Saturday, made the statement that Chicago was richer by $500,000 than before the race. Mr. Gates would give no names but declared that he knew of one man who won $10,000 and another who won $70,000. "The $50,000" said Mr. Gates, "does not include whatever may have been won by Chicago men who were at the race track. It covers simply what was won by men who were in this city Saturday." . ;s.: Opening of Schools. ' The city schools will open on Monday, Sept. 8. Pupils coming from other schools will please be in attendance on Saturday, Sept. 6,' at 8 a. m. at the Washington Building. Ri A Chass, Supt.

Owing to domestic trouble In his family Jacob Jones, a prosperous farmer residing near Michigan City, killed himself Saturday. His daughter, Mrs. A. Morris, was deserted by her husband at Michigan City and she returned home. A quarrel followed and the old man attempted to kill his daughter with an ax, but was prevented by the arrival of his son, who knocked down his father and took the ax from him, while the daughter fled to a neighbor's. An hour later the elder Jones went to the orchard with a shot gun. He cocked both barrels, placed the ramrod across the triggers and with his foot exploded the gun. Both charges passed through the throat, causing instant death.
