Plymouth, IrkL, Septerr.bcr 18, 1902. 12ie republicans of Texas have buried tteir differences under a desire to bury the democrats. The democrats of Colorado show .sone zigus of reformation. ' They refute to fuse with the populists. Senator Morgan thinks the trusts might be controlled by taxation. It may be; there are few things that taxation can not do. Think ot that combination of St. Louis boodlers taking a solemn oath in which they c d to appeal to Almighty God. hat became of ihe oath they VjoL when assuming the duties of the offices to which they were elected? The . Louisville Courier-Journal makes a good point in saying: Xo sensible person, in opposing the denomination of the business of this country by trusts, is opposed to incorporated capital operating legally, but limits his opposition to those bodies which transcend law. and, in order that a cood corporation may not become a bad one, demands the enactment of such laws as will punish the bad ones and prevent their increase." The conversion several months ago of the Lafayette Jonrnal into a republican organ left the democracy of Tippecanoe county without a mouthpiece until Leroy Armstrong and J. Kirbv lirsk threw themselves Into the breach. The result of their combined effort is the Lafayette Democrat, as its name implies, a thoroughly partisan publication, willing to embrace all the isms of the party. Harper's Weekly comes mighty close to a great and important fact in saying that the settlement of the coal strike is purely a business proposition, haidly rising to an economic question, and that it probably would not have occurred if the politicians had not interfered with a strike by the same class in 1900. There is altogether too much of foolish policy In the politician, both of unwise interference and of criminal fear to deal with questions properly. The republicans of Sörth Carolina are making a vigorous effort to secure tha three western congress districts of the state, which are in the mountains aud traditionally inclined to the republican party. Under the lormer apportionment of the state North Carolina had nine representatives in con gress and of these seven are democrats and two republicans. Under the new apportionment North Carolina gets an additional member and the republicans expect to increase their representation from two to three. Experiments made by the city gov ernment at Washington D. C, have demonstrated that equal quantities of soft coal and coke can be combined for heating purposes v.ith very satisfact ory results and at cheaper rates than anthracite coal was sold before the strike. The method of burning is to put a layer of s ft coal between thin ner layers of coke. It is quite prot able that in time the anthracite strike may be advantageous by inciting ex periments which will lead to the dls covery of many cheaper and verv'sat isfactory substitutes. The published reports of the state geologist, W. S. Blatchley, have been of much commercial value to Indiana. They have helped to direct the atten tion of the investors to the state's natural resources, and have resulted in the building of large enterprises. If the material submitted by the state geologist this year to the state printing board is of the same quality as tthat hitherto published, it is to be regretted that no report will be published this year. So far as Incorporati ig the results of original research is concerned, the reports of the state geologist surpass most of those issued from the state house, and the state can well afford to publish them. Boies, as an opponent to Speaker Henderson, gives that canvass considerable interest. In days not so very long ago Boies' name had a good deal of mgic for the voters of Iowa. The chancts, however, are that he will be badly beaten in his present contest. This is a republican year, and Henderson's district is strongly republican normally. But the fact that Henderson has a powerful competitor will enlist for that district a good deal of the country's attention. Boies is old, and he probably never looks for any prize in a national convention, but if he should cut Henderson's majority to a low figure in the election in November he would loom up once more as a man of destiny, as he did a dozen years ago, when he carried his state for governor.,!

The business interests of the coun

try do not want a change in the ad ministration of national affairs, and a vote for the republican ticket means a continuance of policies favoring pros perity. Official statistics show that the vot ing force in this state has been increased 40,000 since the presidential election in 1900. The bulk of this is to be credited to accessions to Indi ana's population from other states. Oregon, Vermont and Maine have elected solid republican delegations to the next house, and, in some cases, by increased majorities over the presidential heavy vote. There are no signs that this is to be an off year with the party of prosperity. The reason assigned for the remov al of United States District At torney Vaughan, of Alabama, is neglect of duty. He has been taking a verv active pari in the proposed reorganization of the republican party in that state, and his neglect ot duty was probably due to his too great activity in politics. If President Roosevelt had been killed, John nay wonld now be president of the United States. Following the secretary of state, the presidential succession is in this order: Secretary of the treasury, secretary of war, attorney general, postmaster general, secretary of the navy, and secretary of the interior. Able democratic editois who are making fun of publicity as a cure for the trust evil forget that the Kansas City platform said; "Existing laws against trusts must be enforced, and more astringent ones must be enacted providing for publicity of the affairs of corporations engaged in interstate commerce." With one possible exception, the sum of gold now in the United States treasury exceeds that of any previous time in the history of any countjy in the world. On Saturday the vaults of the treasury held $573,936,193, an increase since July 1 last year of over $79,000.000. This stock of gold is being added to at the rate of $200,000 to $300,000 a day. People who are striving to give a political turn to the anthracite coal strike seem to ignore the fact that all the men who have been making efforts tobring it to a satisfactory adjustment are republicans, while the spokesman of the mine operators. President Baer, is an out-and-out democrat of the Jerry Black type of Pennsylvania democrats, to use his own phrase. Sir ce Secretary Shaw suggested his plan of increasing the currency circulation the treasury department has received 4,017,000 in bonds from national banks for ttat purpose. It is expected that this amount will be increase 1 to an extent that will furnish all the additional circulation needed for moving the crops. It Is a better way than distributing government deposits in the bank. Voters Want Short Campaign. Campaign managers through the west complain that the people manifest the utmost indifference with regard to political meetings and other campaigning. The uniform reply to appeals for doing active work is, "We are too busy." Ibis is natural and easily accounted for. People are busy, and they need all the time they have to attend to their affairs. Besides, there is a very pronounced sentiment that politicians exact too much of the people. One month of campaigning in an "off year" is all that should be expected of them. Most people nowadays do their own thinking, consequently they don't care to listen to commonplace speeches that contain nothing new or particularly instructive, and a vast majority of speeches partake of that character. In the east, as a rule, from two to three weeks is all the campaigning that receives any sort of encouragement. South Bend Times. Need of Prosperity. President Roosevelt in his address at Greensboro, N. C. said: "It always happens that a good year for crops is a good year for weeds. When we have prosperity some people for whom we do not care prosper more than others, but it is a great deal better that some people should prosper too much than that none of us should prosDer at all. The gospel of intelligent hard work is the gospel that pays, and of all the gospels, the one that pays the least is that of envy and rancor, whether it is a gospel preached to inflame class against class or section against section. And so, my felloweitizens, I hail your Industrial growth." Steel Came Through Lip. Fifteen years ago as I. S. Platz, of Elkhart, stood watching a gang ot section men at work at LaGrange, he was hit in the right eye by a bit of steel. The foreign substance did not interfere with the sight, and he refused to follow an oculist's advice ta have it removed by a s h-gical operation. About three weeks ago a pimple appeared on his upper lip, and Monday the steel came out.

The Referendum. The sentiment In favor of what is known as the referendum makes a brief statement of what that policy of government involves. The referendum allows the people to originate and to veto laws, and to call for their alteration. In short, the purpose of It is to bring the operation of inaugurating laws back to the people. Its purpose is on the line of a true democratic form of government. This principle has been applied locally in some directions. In cities the petition of a certain proportion of property owners or a stated proportion of the full appraisement for taxation, represented by the owners, can put in motion the action of the legislative body. This principle extended is the principle of the referendum. The referendum idea first took form in the republic of Switzerland, its earliest champions urging the people to claim the right to sweep away a law as well as to pass one. In all Switzerland now legislative acts of the federal or cantonal assemblies must be referred to the people en masse, when demanded by a certain number of voters, or, in some cases, by a compulsory rule. The initiative or power to introduce empowers the people to propose new laws or call for the alteration or abolition of existing laws. The referendum operates locally as well as nationally. Fifty thousand signatures are requisite to obtain the initiative in federal legislation and 5,000 in cantonal affairs. When the referendum is in motion the people discuss the particular subject involved and divide upon that one question, not on former party lines. It is a power by which the people can, by their own action, abolish a law or compel their representatives to act upon the popular initiative. Elkhart Truth.

Cty Governments Corrupt. '.ccording to press reports a vast anount of official rottenness is being uncovered in the city of St. Louis, Mo. Already 18 aldermen have been indicted for boodleism and more are undersuspiclon In connection with the grantlrg of franchises within the power of municipality. The worst feature of the transaction is the confession of one alderman of the existence of a combine where the members are bound by a death penalty oath with outsiders, politicians and contractors to work together in a secret manner to swindle the city and benefit their individual interests. The revelations made by this "squealing" alderman of a bribery plot are indeed astounding and show a state of official corruption of the blackest kind. There has been a great upheaval of municipal affairs in Minneapoll?, Minn, this year resulting in the indictment of the mayor, the chief of police and other officials. Nearly all of them are now fugitives from justice and their guilt of boodling in conducting the city's business Is pretty clearly estab lished. These things have created a decided sensation, but have aroused people to the necessity of attending more strictly to the matter of choos ing men above reproach as candidates for important positions, it is not al ways the best orator or the best hand shaker or the jmost popular citizen that makes the best man in an official capacity. Often the distant, the dignified, the unpopular man personally makes the most reliable public servant. These men do not seek office and seldom get it, as the schemer, the smooth individual who wants office for what there is in it for him financially, secures the favors of the people. South Bend Tribune. Mortgage Deduction Law. The mortgage reduction law passed by the republican legislature of 1899 allows a deduction of $700 from the assessed value of property on account of mortgage., or mortgages thereon. Nearly 100,000 taxpayers of Indiana have asked and obtained thc benefits of a deduction under this law. The supreme court has sustained the constitutionality of the act and an appeal has been taken to the supreme court of the United States, but the act will be defended there, as It has been in the supreme court of Indiana and all the way through by the state through Attorney General William L. Taylor. The republican party believes that if the man who holds a note secured by a mortgage can have a deduction from such note on account of his debts then th5 man who owes such a debt certainly ought to , have a deduction on account of such mortgage. . - Invitation On a Scalp. Chas Meadows, of Los Angeles, Cal., better known as i 'Arizona Charley," has forwarded to President Roosevelt a unique invitation to join his expedtion to Tiburon island, a mysterious land off the coast of Mexico, in the gulf of Lower California, into the Interor of which, it is said, no white man has ever penetrated. The Invitation was inscribed on a small metal shield riveted to a scalp. The scalp is that of an Apache chieftain named Juan Dazen, who with 60 of his raiders, was killed at Canon creek, Crescent valley, In 1884, by a party of 30 men, composed of theTewksbury brothers, the Meadows bjothers and other cow .punchers.

An Honest Energetic Attorney. Tba prosecuting attorney at St.

Louis Joseph W. Folk Is his name deserves credit for the persistence with which he has followed up the municipal bribery cases and the en ergy "with which he is now prosecu-. ting the boodlers. As usuai in such cases, the gang counted on escaping justice by tiring her out. When the first exposures came they urged the member who knew all the secrets to go to Mexico until the storm should blow over. Since his return and confession he says: When I left here, of course, I had an idea that this scandal would blow over and I could return when the prosecutions had been dropped ;or Mr. Folk had grown weary of his work or perhaps had quit the office. I never really intended to remain in Mexico for the rest of my days, I made a mistake, however, in supposing that this thing would be dropped, and when I realized it, I was glad enough to come back and confess ail." Some prosecutors would have dropped the matter, but Mr. Folk followed It up relentlessly. The result has been a victory for good government and public morals. Since the recent arrest of several of the boodler's the prosecutor's life has oten threatened, and, against his wishes, a detective has been detailed to guard him against attack. Mr. Folk says: "All the blackguarding or threats or the gang have no terrors for me. I think they have found out by this time that attempted intimidation is without avail. One who violates the law is a criminal and will be treated as. such during my term of office." Such a prosecutor deserves credit for the public service he renders and for the good example he sets of a fearless performance of duty. His Riches Had Wings. Samuel Hawkins Napier, who found what is said to have been the largest nugget of gold ever mined, is dead, says a Provincetown, Mass.. dispatch. He died alone, except for the companionship of a faithful dog, 200 miles from any habitation, in the wilds of the Gatineau river, Canada. Napier's rich strike occurred in Australia in 1852. He was a purser on a Melbourne-Liverpool ship when the mad race for the Australian mines resulted from the finding of rich fortunes. He joined fortunes with his brother-in-law, and the two went out to the gold fields One day Napier's pick struck on a metallic mass of large proportions. The nugget was taken to London, where it was exhibited and fiually sold for $50,000. Napier settled at Bathurst, N. B.. and became a member of the provincial parliament, but his share of the wealth amassed at the diggings was lost in speculation. Nipping Frosts Kill Crops. In many places in the north and northwest Friday the late corn was damaged and tender vegetables were nipped. Killing frosts were reported from Valentine, North Platte, Omaha, Lincoln, Neb.; Huron and Pierre, S. D.; Denver, Cheyenne, Plainfield, Wis.; Williston, N. D., and Dodge City, Kan. Heavy frosts prevailed at Moorehead, Minn.; Des Moines and Marquette, Mich. At St. Paul, Marquette, Dubuque, Davenport, Omaha and Concordia, the frost was not so heavy, but was damaging. The temperature was as low as 22 degrees in some places. This was the mark recorded at Cheyenne, and at Valentine, Neb. In parts of Colorado the thermometer registered 24 degrees; at Huron, S. D., 26; and at Denver and North Platte 30 degrees. A Strange Request A request to compel a preacher to move out of a town because he is too popular was presented at the session of the Presbytery at Laporte last Wednesday by the reading of a petition from the Presbyterian church at Union Mills requesting the removal of Rev. E. S. Smith from that town. Mr. Smith is one of the patriarchs in the Presbyterian ministry in Indiana, and the petitioners set forth that as long as he remains it will be impossible to retain the services of a pastor, as Mr. Smith, notwithstanding his retirement from the Lctive work of the ministry, officiates at marriages and funerals within, a radius of many miles, thus depriving the pastor of the church of the fees from the performance of, these offices. A Colored Marf s Platform. The negroes of the Sixth Maryland district have nominated one of their own race for congress, the Rev. nenry Newman. He is making an energetic canvass. His platform is: "A pension for every ex-slave; proper treatment of the colored voter; division of state and federal offices with colored men and women; repeal of civil service; reform of tariff; abolition of trusts; suppression of lynching, and thft upholding of tha manhood and womanhood of the colored race." No Peace Proposals. President JMltchell stated Wednesday that he had received nc peace proposals from the operators, and had had no engagement to meet Governor Stone or anybody else with' a view of settling the strike. He says he is not aw&re of any negotiations being' on foot to bnng about a conference.

MARRIED

Conant Vinali. In this city at the home of the bride's parents, at 8 o'clock Friday evening. Sept. 12. Mr. Ed Conant and Miss Marjory Vlnall were united in marriage by Rev. O. S. Thornberry. The bilde is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Julius Vinali and was one of Plymouth's popular and excellent young ladies. Mr. Conant is a South Bend printer, industrious and steady, and the young couple start out with bright prospects and best wishes of many friends for a happy future. They left for South Bend on the 10 o'clock train and will make their home in that city. Billy Mason's Show. A curious show is new appearing to small houses on the Illinois circuit. It is preceded by this advertisement: "Senator William E. Mason. Uli noi's favorite son, will visit your town. Kindly invite all your neighbors for miles around and give him a grand welcome, as he is one of the nation's best men. Be sure and bring the big and little folks, mothers, sisters, wives, sweethearts and brothers, and we will have a hot 'time' when Billy Mason comes to town." Unfortunately the people are much less cordial than the advertisements. The "hot time" turns out to be decidedly cool, and the welcome to one of the nation's rest men is far from grand. Woman Accused of Cremating Babies Cremation of living babies in her kitchen range is a charge made by Charles Early against Mrs. Paulina Taeschler, who conducts a private hospital for women in South May street, Chicago. Early made this and other serious charges before the State Board of Health. As a result, officials of the board secured a warrant against Mrs. Taeschler, on a charge of practicing medicine without a license, and the woman has been arrested . Mrs. Taeschler attributes the charges to motives of revenge, inspired by her refusal to allow Early to visit a woman patient in her hospital. Suffers With Twin Sister. From the moment the surgeon's knife at the Ensworth hospital at St. Joseph, Mo., entered the Mesh of Mrs. Emma Smith in an operation, her twin sister, Mrs. Bertha Foreman, underwent all the sufferings of the patient. Mrs. Smith died as the result of a long-deferred operation for a tumor. The women were the daughters of the late Louis II ax, a millionaire manufacturer and wholesale merchant. Three days ago Mrs. Smith underwent an operation and her sufferings were duplicated with jher sister, although the pair were miles apart. Loses Perpetual Franchise. By a unanimous vote the South Bend council has taken from the Indiana Railway company, which operates lines there, and also mterurban lines to Goshen, its perpetual and unlimited franchise to the city's streets and allevs, this being in conjunction with Judge Beeker's decision against perpetual franchises made in the Logansport case. This step was taken to enable competing lines to build, the old franchise haying given the Indiana company complete control of the city's streets Died From a Flybite, Bitten by a fly two weeks ago, Geo. Lindhurst, of Brooklyn, N. Y., aged 56, is dead. The physicians pronounce it an extraordinary case. Lindhurst was bitten on the thumb of his right hand. Three days later swelling began and spread rapidly. The -doctors say the flybite caused blood poisoning, which they could not check, and the victim died in great agony. Lindhurst was in fairly good health before he was bitten. Birthday Surprise. A surprise was given Miss Theresa Hendricks Thursdav evening in honor of her seventeenth birthday. The surprisers were the Misses Elmer, of Chicago; McNiff, Schooner, Curtis, Kruyer and Welch; Messrs. Ed Wade, J. Emenaker, Rudolph Welch, J. Carabin, L. WTicke, George and P. Hendricks. They enjoyed themselves and it was a pleasant evening for Miss Hendricks, who received many beautiful and useful presents.

SEVERAL IN INTERESTS OF LABOR Among the laws passed by the last legislature was the act increasing the efficiency of the safety appliance law of 1899. This act Increased the assistants in the office of the Department of Inspection. This department was created by the Republican legislature of 1899, and the act of 1901 afforded the chief of the department greater facilities for examining the safety appliances in factories, and providing fire escapes from factories and large buildings, and thus increasing the comfort, safety and convenience of workmen and employes in factories, mills and mines, and also at the same time protecting the lives of occupants of tall buildings throughout the state. The organization of the department of inspection was a Republican measure, and has resulted in great saving of life and limb of employes in the mines, factories and mills of Indiana. Among other popular laws enacted by the last legislature were: The Minimum Wage Law. This act fixes the price of unskilled labor upon all public work of the state, counties, cities and towns, at not less than 20 cents an hour. The Act for the Protection of Laborers and Material Men in Doing Work on Public Improvements. This muchneeded law requires that all contractors for street, alley, sewer and other public improvements shall give bond payable to the state of Indiana, with two sureties, guaranteeing not only the performance of the work, but that the contractor shall pay for all labor done and material furnished on such contract, and that any laborer or material man having a claim against a contractor can have thirty days after the completion of the work to collect the money due him, with attorney's fees. This law will prevent contractors getting the money on their contracts, leaving the workmen without remedy. The Anti-PIuck-Me Store Bill. This bill was passed at the special request of the miners of Indiana. It provides that whenever any merchant or other person shall take from any employe in a coal mine an assignment of his wages, earned or unearned, and shall Issue any check or order, other than a check on a solvent bank, or shall give him any token or ticket of any kind, payable in goods, such check shall be at once due and payable in lawful money of the United States, for the full amount of the wages assigned, and the holder of the check shall have the right to collect tue samet'ith attorney's fees at once, in any court. The Mine Comnrwion Act. At the request of the miners of Indiana the legislature created a commission to codify the mining laws, consisting of four persons, two of whom shall be practical, active mine operators, and two shall be practical miners, working at the business. They are authorized to employ a secretary to prepare and codify the mining laws for presentation to the coming legislature. This is now being done in an Intelligent manner. Governor Durbln appointed the members of the commission according to the terms of the law, and has assisted in every way to carry out the law. -Convict-Made Goods Act This stat ute makes it a misdemeanor to expose ! for sale any convict-made goods without first obtaining a license from the

This act requires every foreign Investment company to file a statement with the auditor of state and submit to examination. Several hundred fraudulent and fake so-called Investment companies, home building leagues of various kinds, etc.. have been driven out of Indiana by the state officers by virtue of the provisions of this and the foreign building association act. These so-called Investment companies can by this act be kept out of Indiana, and thus 6ave to the people of the state hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. It in no way will Interfere with any reliable and legitimate companies who comply with the law. Flag Desecration Act. This taw makes it a misdemeanor for anyone to use the American flag for advertising purposes, by placing any design, ensign, mark, symbol or color upon the flag for advertising purposes. This law is intended to keep sacred the emblem of our national life. Shlloh Battleground Monuments. The legislature appropriated $25.005 for the erection of monuments to commemorate -the glorious deeds and heroic valor of the men living and dead who fought on the bloody field of Shlloh. The monuments are erected and during this month of September will be dedicated. A Mutual Arrangement. An Indianapolis Sentinel writer charges C. C. Gilhams with having said in a speech at Wolcottville two years ago that the laborer ought to take off his hat to the rich man for the opportunity he gave for labor. We do not know whether he said anything of the kind or not, but we have no doubt if he did, he expressed in the same speech the other side of the thought that the rich man should take off his hat to the laborer for the opportunity he gave him to employ his capital to profit The facts are each ought to take off their hats to one another every day of their lives. Neither can live happily without the other's kindly recognition. LaGrange Standard. Forward. Not Backward. The Democrats of tils state are banking largely on Republican disaffection, due to disappointments growing out of postoffice and other appointments, which has always given more or less trouble to the party In power. That there are at this time a few Republicans who are disposed to complain of the treatment accorded them by officials from whom they expected better things, it is folly to deny, but these men are not going to give much aid to the common enemy, but will when the time comes be found with their shoulder to the wheel of the Republican wagon, pushing it forward, not backward. Tipton Advocate. An Example of Inconsistency. During the last presidential campaign the Democratic papers of the' country proclaimed loud and long that if McKinley was elected there would be "no more presidential elections," and yet they are keeping up a continual wrangle over Democratic presidential possibilities for 1904. North Vernon Republican. A Democratic Trouble. One of the Democratic troubles Is that though Mr. Bryan can not get enough rotes to elect him, he can poll mora than any other man in tht party.
