What a remarkable party it is to be sure! The report of the Ohio democratic convention says that it was held amid the most pleasant surroundings, "with a great bathing beach on one side of the pavilion.'' Evidently this is to serve notice that the Ohio democrats no longer belong to the great unwashed. The way Senator McComas summarizes the situation is this: You only have a great strike under a republican administration, when two or more jobs are hunting the same man. You never have a strike under a demtcratic administration, where two or mo e men are hunting the same job. lion. James S. Harlan, attorney, general of Porto Rico, who is visiting his former home in Chicago says the island is enjoying a degree of prosperity never known under Spanish Tule, and that the people- are rapidly adopting American methods. As for the judiciary, with which he is in close contact, he says it is in fine condition. It is almost a miracb that President Roosevelt wasn't killed in the electric car., carriage collision at Lenox, Mass. As it is, his injuries are probably more " severe than the dispatches, indicate. To think that another president narrowly escaped being "killed in so short a time after the murder of. President McKinley is enough to make one shudder. , . Prices of farm products may be a little lower this fall and winter because of the great abundance for they will obey the inexorable law ot supply and demand; but the farmers of the United States are in such good condition financially that they can hold their crops for better terms if they like. They are not compelled to sell, as thev were four or five years ago. It has been found that the way to get more money is not to set the printing press going, but to produce great crops and manufactures and keep the people employed so they will have money to buy the pre ducts. Under such conditions money is sure to be on hand to facilitate the exchang es. It just comes out of its hole, and the supply is always equal to the demand. The republican party does not have to hunt around for issues. It has a good stock always on hand, and it has given the people a government that is established upon something better than theory or guesswork. Thefund amental principles of equal rights, of protection to home industry and of sound money that the republican par ty has always adhered to and Id the active practice of which the ' people have seen their greatest prosperity, are still the republicans' battle cry. The people know where to find the re pnblican party. It has always been the party of the people and the peo

ple will always stand by it.

A Oram S. Hewitt is just out in an interview in which he says it Iz a mistake to suppose that the mines are in the hands of seven or eight individuals who alne reap the reward of victory or suffer the disadvantages of defeat in this affair. "The mines," he says, "belong to many thousands of stockholders, who outnumber the men who are employed. It is a vast field, divided among allsizes of investors."

Speaker Henderson declared at the Iowa republican conference Thursday that it was idle to talk about any changes in the tariff during the coming short session of congress. He thought that it might be possible to get a bill through the house, but it was doubtful if anything could be got through the senate. Senator Dolliver, who was present, agreed with him, saying that any measure that did not have unanimous consent could hardly be touched In the senate in less than three months. A new regulation of the Chicago school beard has very properly barred profane and vulgar language from school grounds and buildings. 2so employe "of the board, in whatever capacity, will be retained in service who is addicted to the use of profane language. It's use is so unnecessary in every place and so intolerable in the presence of young children, who are prone to copy the words and actions of older persons, that the wisdom and justice of this rigid new rule will be readily recognized. The outlook for cheap food in the immediate future is very promising. The general aggregate of the cereal crops, if the weather remains favorable for two or three weeks more, will be greater than was ever before known. This will reduce prices, and at the same time give the producers a large income. Cheap and abundant food means prosperity and happiness for the masses of the people. At present food prices are at a higher level, on the general average, than for many years past. A downward turn would be very agreeable to the country. Reports are being circulated again that Germany is on the verge of a meat famine. So far as the poor people are concerned there is always a meat famine in Germany, for meat of all kinds is too high to be within the means of the peasant class. The selfish motives of the, government have resuited in keeping out foreign meats, greatly to the disadvantage of the la boring classes. The middle classes are now feeling the force of the prohibitive tax, for the price of the best cuts of beef have jumped to 44 cents a pound in Berlin. If Germany would remove all tariff restrictions on all fresh and salt meats it would be de cidedly better for everybody except the few who are engaged in stock raising. In his tour through the country President Roosevelt often says some good things of a non-political charac ter. In a speech in Maine he con demned the not unusual practice of parents letting their children, and especially their daughters, grow to maturity with nothing to do and with no responsibility. He said: "Now, those are not good fathers and moth ers. 'Thev are foolish fathers and mothers. They are. not being kind; they are simply being silly. The only way by which in the long run any man can be helped is by teaching him to help himself. The only permanent betterment in the condition of any nation is to raise the standard of individual citizenship throughout that nation." Newton County-Seat Contest. The1 Newton county seat matter took another turn this week and the building of a new courthouse at Goodland will be delayed for many months. The commissioners received bids en Monday for the new courthouse." Elmer Danner, of Kokomo, was the lowest bidder. The commissioners thereupon referred m the matter to the county council, but that body refused to make the appropriation and adjourned. The only course now open to Goodland citizens is to seek a mandate in the courts. Persimmon Brigade Meeting. The 16th annual reunion of the Persimmon Brigade association comprising the 115th, 116th, 117th and 118th Indiana regiments, will be held in the criminal court room of the court house in Indianapolis on Wednesday, Sept. 17. Provisions have been made to utilize the entire day, closing with a grand camp fire in the evening. W. W. Robblns is the president and J.-M. Cassel, the secretary of the association. Northern Indiana Healthful. The report of t the state board of health shows the northern part of the state the lowest as to death rate, also the lowest ' percentage of infantile deaths and the highest in deaths of 65 years and over. It is also lowest In pulmonary tuberculosis, in typhoid fever, diarrhoeal diseases, in cancer and smallpox. LaGrange county has the lowest death rate of any county in the state. In other words, the northern part is "all right," or nearly so.

PRESIDENT ESCAPES DEATH

Carriage Demolished, Secret Service Man Killed, President Roosevelt Badly ' Bruised and Others Seriously Injured. Pittsfield, Mass.. Sept. 3. The life of the president of the United States was put in imminent danger while he was being driven in a car-, riage between Pittsfjeld and Lenox this morning. One of his companions, William Craig, a secret service agent, was killed outright, and the driver of the carriage was badly hurt. Several others, including W. Murray Crane, the governor of Massachusetts, and the secretary to the president, George B. Cortelyou, were bruised and cut. So far tonight the evidence that has been gathered points to the conclusion that the accident which brought these casualties was due to the desire of a Pittsfield electric railroad motorman to get his passengers to the Country club before the president's cavalcade should pass the house. The motorman, Luke Madden, was arrested; so was the conductor, James Kelly. The president's Injuries, bad they been sustained by a man of less sturdy make-up, would have been called very severe. It .as apparent that they caused him paui, but in n way interfered With his activity and ability to get around. He received a blow on the right side of the face which caused it to swell out considerably, and which blackened his eye, and, indeed, all the right side of his face. Blood was drawn from a slight scratch on his cheek. The accident occurred about three miles out of Pittsfield, about 200 yards from the Country club, toward which the president and some of his party were being taken. The president was in a large open barouche drawn by four magnificent bay horses. Beside him sat Governor Crane. On the front seat was Secretary Cortelyou. On the right and left of the carriage rode mounted men of the Second Massachusetts infantry. There were five carriages behind. These six carriages were traveling at a high rate of speed along the East road, which is a broad macadam turnpike. There is a trolley lina on it. About 200 yards from the Country club, on the Pittsfield side, the trolley track shifts from the middle of the road to the left. The cavalcade was on the left side of the trolley track as it started down the incline approaching tb rise on which the Country club stands. The president and his friends were interested In the rush of women in light frocks from the verandas of the club to the stone wall near the road as the clatter of hoofs announced the approach of the party. The carriage was struck as it was crossing the road diagonally. Craig, who was looking around, and half standing, trying to warn the trolley car back, Was knocked from the box to the track and the car passed over him, killing him instantly. Tho carriage was knocked to one side and wrecked. The president was thrown out and the wreck of the carriage was thrown against him. He was picked up, bleeding from a cut on the right cheek, but he was able to get on his feet at once. , Secretary Cortelyou was unconscious when picked up. He was badly hurt on the back of the head, and cut on on the face,, but soon recovered and asked for the president. Gov. Crane was badly bruised and Representative Lawrence was the least hurt of any of the whole party in the president's carriage. The driver of the carriage, D J. Pratt, was very badly hurt. He fell with Craig, but the reins swung him out of the path of the car. The physicians at the Pi ttsfield hos-. pita! say that driver Pratt! injuries include a dislocated left shoulder, his ankle is sprained, his face badly scratched and his body bruised. After an examination the physicians decided that he would recover. William Craig, who was killed was the President's body guard. He stood six feet two and weighed over two hundred pounds. He carried no surplus flesh, aad so his weight was largely due to his muscular development. He was the most familiar figure about the White House, for he was always oh duty there during business hours and frequently after business hours. His responsibility was great. He was charged with seeing that no bodily harm came to the President. His faithfulness to his chief was often spoken of by public men in Washington. As soon as it became evident that the President was not seriously hurt, and after he had given directions as to the disposition of the body of the faithful Craig the President 'resumed his journey. Lenox was reached about 11:15 o'clock, ' and his passage through the t town, which had made elaborate preparations for his entertainment, was in silence. He tarried but. a moment, the swelling on his right cheek causing him considerable discomfiture; but, not to disappoint the people, he spoke.a few wotus to

them, telling them of the accident, and saying that he would make no address. - He then passed on to Stockbridge, where, too, the people were ready to make his entry into the city a notable occasion. Speaking from his carriage his right eye almost closed and getting very black, he said that for the same reasons given at Lenox he would be unable to deliver an addrecs. Ihe President said that when he saw the car coming at such terrific speed he felt that all in the carriage would surely be killed. The departure of the President from Stockbridge was pathetic. There were no cheers, no waving of flags or handherchiefs, only a word here and there to break the death-like silence. Brief stops were made at Great Barrington. Mass., and New Milford. Conn. On the way here Dr. Long applied hot cloths to the, President's face, which reduced the swelling considerably. The President, though badly shaken up. kept his nerve, and was in good spirits, although he repeatedly referred to the loss of Craig, and said that but for that deplored fact he would regard the accident to himself as simply one of the incidents of the trip. A Lesson in Figures. The complete returns of the Vermont election have a lesson for bolting as well as for regular republicans. The total vote last Tuesday was 69,750, against a total of 54,337 for governor in 189S, of 56,216 for president in 1900, and of 63,828 for president in 1896. In other "rds, the vote in Vermont last Tuesday was the largest ever cast in the state. McCullough, the regular republican candidate for governor, received 31,788 votes; Clement, the bolting republican republican candidate, 28,177: the democratic candidate, "260; and the prohibition candidate, 2,525. The vote for the two republican candidates is 59,965, larger by 17,000 than McKinley 's vote in 1900, and larger by 8,000 than his vote in 1896, while the democratic vote is smaller by 5,000 than Bryan's vote in 1900. The figures show that people will vote when there is a real contest, and that in order to have good government by the. people, parties should be almost equally divided.

Coal Strike Nearing End. The present active demand for the shares of the raliways which form the coal trust indicates that the purchasers have information that convinces them that a settlement of the anthrrcite miners' strike is near at hand. For many weeks, because of the strike, these railways have had little traffic. Their earnings have been so reduced that so long as the strike continued their shares could not be a profitable investment. But with a settlement of the strike these securities would again become desirable. The present demand for them, and the sources of that demand indicate clearly that men who make a business of speculative investment are convinced that the strike will speedily end. Breeding New Kinds of Corn. Feople who are laboring under the impression that corn is corn and cannot be improved by scientific methods will have such impressions shattered if they read an article in the September issue of the World's Work entitled. "Breeding New Kinds of Corn." In recent years the agricultural chemist has done much for the farmer, but the work'that has been begun in the development ot new breeds of corn is referred to as recreating. Two professors in Urbana Agricultural Col-, lege are giving their attention exclusively to corn breeding, with the following results: "They have compelled corn to grow for man or beast or manufacture. They have told the kernel to produce more protein, the great tissue builder of the race, or they have told it to produce less. They have told it to increase its quantity of starch, and to decrease It. They have told it to produce a large and still larger supply of oil, making it commercially far more valuable; and they have told it to cnrtail its supply of oil and give some other element more room. They have told the ear to change its form, so that it should be longer or shorter or leaner or plumper. They have told the corn plant to Increase in height and to decrease in height, and they have even told it that it must weave its leaves on a w ider and larger pattern. All these things and more have they commanded of corn and in all of them it it has obeyed." Doubtless many who have cultivated corn all their lives will Regard the foregoing declarations of what the agricultural chemists bave'accomplished as the rant of a visionary, but the details of what they' have done fully justify not only the statement but the peculiar manner in which it is put. Corn is the biggest thing in the agriculture or several states, including Indiana. . The uses of no one product of the farm have been so increased daring the past twenty-five years. Immense quantities of corn are now manufactured Into syrups and starches. There are five grades of syrups made

from corn. While glucose is not a high-class sweet, it contributes much more to the sweet tooth of the country than does the native beet sugar. Five grades of dextrin and as many kinds of breakfast foods have been developed. Oil cake is another product which possesses rare qualities for fattening cattle. Corn pith is used in the construction of warships and also for the manufacture of explosives of high potentiality.. Just now experiments are being made to divert the stalks to paper manufacture and to the production of rubber. To perfect the production of this so useful plant is a matter of first Importance. It would be well for farmers' organizations to investigate the doctrines of the scientists at the Urbana Agricultural college.

"Can't be Did? Editor Stoll of the South Bend Times, democratic, wants to paramount with the trust issue. The democrats have tried about everything else on earth except trusts for an issue, but they can't parry repuvlican thrusts. Laporte Herald. What Goshen Says of Elkhart. A gray horse was found on the streets of Elkhart. The animal was peacefully grazing on the grass that grows in the streets, when the curiosity of a native was attracted and the equine was locktd up. For a time It was thought the horse might be a stolen one, but later it developed that it belonged to a farmer residing in the Sixth ward. A good deal of excitement was manifested for a time, but matters quieted down when it was learned that the animal was the property of a native. Few strange horses are seen in Elkhart. Goshen Democrat. Johnson Tapped His Barrel. The South Bend Times, the leading democratic paper of Indiana, has no hope for democratic success in Ohio. It says. "By keeping his satellites constantly and persistently at work, Tom L. Johnson has gained complete control of the Ohio democratic state convention. This was easily accomplished by the indifference of John R. McLean and his following. Johnson has a barrel and he tapped it liberally. McLean, too, has a barrel, but didn't tap it this year. The consequence is, Johnson has everything his own way. It is easy to calculate what the outcome of this sort of business will be." Death of Edward Eggleston. Edward Eggleston, the "Hoosier Schoalmaster,, died at Lake George, N. Y Sept. 3. His death was due to paralysis.. He was 65 years old. was born at Vevay. Ind., and his education was mainly self acquired his father having died when he was nine years old. He became a Methoeist preacher, but ill health compelled him to abandon the ministry, and he tried many ways of making a living. In 1866 he became associate editor of the "Little Corporal." a children's paper published at Chicago. He afterwards edited a Sunday school paper and in 1870 was the editor of the Independent at New York, but in 1871 ill health compelled him to return tD literature. His publications in permanent form embrace "Mr. Blake's Walking Stick" 1SG9: "The Hoosier Schoolmaster," 1871; The End of the World," 1872: "The Circuit Rider,.' 1874; "Roxy," 1878; "The Hoosier Schoolboy' 1883; "The Graysons," 1888. and other stories of less pretension, as well as a number of school histories and works of kindred nature. A Gallant Fellow-Soldier. Joseph Coar. of Bourbon, was in town today and, of course, gave the colonel of bis old regiment the 12th Indiana Infantry a pleasant call. Mr. Coar was as gallant and as brave a soldier as aided the union cause in its effort to save the government from destruction, and at the fierce struggle of Missionary Ridge he was seriously wounded in the left leg below the knee, the bullet splitting the main bone. He was laid up for a time, but, despite bis severe wound, he returned to his regiment just at the beginning of the Atlanta campaign aud went through the remainder of the war, including the "March to the Sea."- At the late republican conven-tion-in Marshall county he was nominated for commissioner for the middle district, and knowing him as well as we do, we can truthfully say to the people of Marshall county that a more reliable gentleman, upright, honest and faithful, cannot readily be found anywhere. Besides he is well qualified for the position and will serve the people of the county to the best ot his ability should he be elected. The old veterans of Marshall county should give him their hearty and earnest suppert. Warsaw Times. Reunion ot the Old Twelfth. The Twelfth regiment Indiana cavalry will hoid their fourth annual reunion at Goshen on September 24th and 25th.' - ; C. L. Andrews, V. P. W. P. Harmar, Sec'y.
