Miller, candidate for attorney general, will address the public on the issues of the day at the Centennial Opera House, Plymouth, Saturday Sept. 26, 1902. Everyone invited to hear the Issues ably discussed by one of Indiana's best orators. You must jude a political party by what it does, and" not merely by what it says or by what pirt of its members wai t dene without being able to secure it. There seerts to be no cms? for apprehension b?caise of the condition of the money market in Xew York. If the stringency should become, so great as t-j force a decline in the prices of some stocks only those would suffer who have failed to get the dollars in the other man's pocket, the banks presumably, being able to take cafe of themselves. In 1890 the numbei of negroes in the United States over ten years of age was 5,328,000 of whom 57.1 per cent, could neither read nor write. In 1900 the number of such negroes w is 6,415,000, anl the per cent, of illiterates 41.5. That is, in ten years the illiterate negrces over ten years of age have been reduced 12.6 per cent. This shows that In spite of all obstacles the colored childici are going toschooi. Some of the pipers published in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania declare that the coal strike there would have teen adjusted weeks ago but for the mischievous publications in the matropoiitan papers that circulate extensively in that part of the Keystone state. It is alleged that a very large major it of thj miners are eager to go to work and that thev would do so at once if thev were not deterred bv the threats of the lawless elements. It is hoped that the newly discovered gold fields in Alaska are so far in the interior that Canada came t persuade Great Britain to claim that they are on Biitish territory. 2s ow that the Canadian gold commissioner has discoveied that tfce Klondike mine: will soon cease to be of much value, Great Britain will not insist on sustaining its present claims to territory it did not claim before the Klondike region reached fame as a goldproducing country. The Vermont legislature will meet in October, when General McCullough the republican candidate who received the highest yote at the election Sept. 1, will be elected governor by th it body. Speaking of the substantially unanimous repudiation of iron cl id prohibition by all parties, the Bostoi Pot says. "One point which mav be regarded as settled bv this contest for governor is that prohibition is practical y repudiated in Yerjicnt and that this winter there will be a Kcal option law passed and submitted to the people for acceptance. Senator Beveridge, in closing his address at the Utah reputlJCan state conventi n at Ojden last week, paid this tribute to President Roosevelt. He said: ""Do you name courage? The"dorj Roosevelt represents it. Do you name honesty? Theodore Roosevelt is its personification. Do you name patriotism? Theodore Roosevelt named his own the field of battle. Do you name consideration for. every interest, in its relation, to every other? So section own him; he belongs to the nation. Sq influence controls him, so he listens to the voice of the whole people. The humblest citizen may meet him face to face and fcave as full hearing as the richest man in the land, and he will give wealth and prosperity their just and legal rights in spite of demagague or mob. Simple justice to allthat is the spirit that rules the mind and heaitof the chief magistrate of the Ameiiin people. How may that which is best for all practically accomplished? that is the question he puts to everybody, the problem that C nfronts him." Speaker Henderson, has refused to accept the nomination for congress tendered him unanimously a few weeks ago for the eleventh time by the republicans of his district in Iowa. He He says the republicans of his district and of the state of Iowa have adopted resolutions which are riot in accordance with his views on the tariff question and he will not stand for a re-election, He has been elected , ten times in succession and has always been nominated by acclamation. Speaker Henderson is opposed to a general revision of the tariff.

It is too soon to conclude that the recent decision of a Chicago court puts an end to all corners. The speculators will turn a new one.

Secretary Shaw's position is that, while there is no immediate danger of a financial crisis, he intends to be prepared if it comes, That is wise. It is a hard dilemma in which the democratic partv finds itself. Without hard times the party can not win, and there can be no such calamitv until it does win. Alabama republicans are talking of nominating General Joe Wheeler for governor. If he would accept the nomination there would be a lively campaign in Alabama during the next six weeks. The total stock of money of all kinds in the United States on Sept. 1. as reported by the treasury department, was $2,579,300,217, being an increase of $66,446,684 over that cn the same date last year. The amount in circulation was $2,197,187,824, which, based on an estimated population of 9,344,000. is a per capita of $2.55. The per capita on Sept. 1. 1901, was $28.10, and on the same date in 1900 was $27.85. It is reported that Mr. Cable, of the democratic congressional committee, succeeded In getting a lot of money in Wall street for campaign purposes from magnates who are not pleased with President Roosevelt's addresses affecting trusts. If a democratic house could be elected those magnates believe it would so Injure him that his party would not give him solid support. Fortunately for Mr. Caole, he got his money before the Maine election. St Joseph U. B. Conference. The fifty-eighth annual session of the St. Joseph Conference of the United Brethren in Christ is now in session at Peru. One of the most important matters which will be considered at the conference is the union or consolidation of several denominations the United Brethren, the Cumberland Presbyterian, the Congregationalist, the Methodist Protestant, the Evangelical churches whose creeds and church polity are similar. The leader of these churches have been considering this move for some time. the project originating, however, with the U. B. denomination. Each church has a membership averaging 200,000. The uniting of these bodies would form a church of over one million members w hich is half as many as belong to the M. E. church. If all the denominations mentioned look with favor on the project of uniting it will take at least two years to make the change as the whole matter would have to be arranged in general conference. - No Pensions for Teachers. The South Bend Times takes this sensible position on a movement to secure the passage of a law by the next legislature to pension school teachers. "Before any considerable number of people commit themselves in favor of the proposition it would be well to take several importants points into consideration. In the first place, teachers are paid about what their services are considered worth. IT not, their salaries ought to be raised. Certain it is that when a person accepts contract price, that should finish the deal. There should be no after-deals or after demands. The pension idea can be carried too far. If a teacher can't earn enough to get along in the world, he or she ought to choose some other vocation. The Anderson scheme ought to be squelched. " Meat Will be Cheaper. Secretary Wilson, of the agricultural department, is of the opinion that beef and pork ought to be cheaper this fall. The corn crop is immense all over the west and there is also an abundance of hay and other ingredients that enter into the fattening of cattle. If the scarcity of food has been the excuse for raising the price of meat, it cannot much longer be held up on that account. If it does not drop now the blame must rest upon the packers' trust, and Secretary Wilson is of the opinion that such being the case it would amount to little less than a crime. There is no doubt the government will break the power of the meat combination and give the people cheaper prices. Reminiscences of the Mexican War. A recent reunion of the Mexican war veterans of Missouri has recalled the fact that a regiment of Missouri volunteers in that war made one of the longest marches on record. The regiment was commanded by Col. A. W. Doniphan, and it marched across the plains into the heart of Mexico, a distance of almost 600 miles, depending for subsistence largely upon the meat of the buffalo killed on the way. The Mexican . war has bean overshadowed by later events, but it brought out some great American qualities. : lovely breakfast is quickly prepared from Mrs. Austin's famous Pancake Flour. 1

CONFERENCE CLOSES

Plymouth's New Methodist Preacher, and Assignments of South Bend District. The Methodist- conference closed at Rensselaer Monday afternoon. It was one of the largest and best conferences ever held in Indiana, as the brief reports published in this paper daily have already shown.

East Side A. H. Lawrence. St. Paul W. F. Hovis. Circuit F. L. Hovis. Union Mills Homer Ivey, Walkerton Dr. R. D. Utter. Yeoman W. A. Smith. Plymouth's new pastor is Rev. A. P. DeLong. He is in the prime of life, is a good preacher and a good pastor. He comes here from Goodland, where he has been pastor for seven years, the longest pastorate of any Methodist preacher in Indiana and equal to any in the United States. He will preach here next Sunday morning and evening. While Plvmouth is sorrv to lose Rev. W. E. McKenzie everybody is glad that he has received a deserved a promotion. He is one of the best preachers in the conference and deserves one of the best places. ' St. Paul's church at Lafavette m could not have chosen abetter preacher or a better man and they will find his wife an excellent lady. Rey. D. M. Wood, a former Plymouth pastor, was made presiding elder c. the Valparaiso district. Rev. J. A. Maxwell goes to Mulberry, Rev. J. A. Clearwaters has one of the Terre Haute churches and Rev. F. W. Gee is a conference evangelist. Rev. L. S. Smith goes back to Delphi for the fourth year. The next annual conference will be held at South Bend in September no3. Dr. Cuyler and the Novel. The Rev. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler, LL. D., the sjle survivor of the great Brooklyn pastors who were famous throughout the world in the last half of the nineteenth century, has written his autobiography. The volume is called 4,Recollectionsof a Long Life." As preacher, pastor and author his active life has brought him in contact with the most famous personages at home and abroad. The book would not be characteristic of the author if it did not attack what he considers the evil tendencies and influences of the day. Dr. Cuyler is neither a bigot nor a pessimist, and it is with surprise that one finds him attacking the novel. Of the novel, he says, in part: "Exclusive reading of fiction is to any one's mind what highly spiced food and alcoholic stimulants ' are to the body. The increasing rage for novel reading betokens both a famine in the intellect and a serious peril to the mental and spirituallife. " He sums up the evils to be found in these novels and adds: "When interesting and profitable books are so abundant and so cheap this increasing rage for novels Is to me one of the sinister signs of the times." No Tariff on Coal. As some democrats will not believe what a republican editor says, we publish the following from the South Bend Times, the leading democratic paper of northern Indiana. "In answer to numerous inquiries it may be stated that there is no tariff drty on hard coal, commonly called anthracite. Many years ago there was a duty on such coal, but it was taken off by reason of the fact that the supply in the world at large is limited and competition, therefore, unimportant. On bituminons (soft) coal there Is a duty of 67 cents per ton. Some years ago there was a movement in favor of also abolishing this duty, but inasmuch as only the cities along the Atlantic coast . would be benefited thereby, that proposition did not meet with general favor. Transportation is the main factor in determing the price of soft coal. '

Harry Force, who has been traveling through Europe with Barnum & Bailey 's shows, writes a letter to his mother from Switzerland and sends her some very rare Mowers one of which was sent to the Tribune office. Harry says these flowers grow in the Alps among the cliffs and are almost inaccessible. They are very rare and many persons have lost their lives trving to reach them. Thev are called "eidelweiss," are white and velvety and are evidently suited only to the kind of soil in which they grow. He savs we are seeing" some wonderful scenery now, wonderful indeed to one born and raised on the level lands of Indiana. Switzerland is the most mountainous country in Europe, and its peaks valleys and lake;; are among the most grand and picturesque in the world. The finest city I have seen is Geneva. It is on a beautiful lake in the mountains and you can see the famous Mount Blane with its top covered with snow. There are many other fine cities and towns here, and they are tb nicest, cleanest towns in Europe. The buildings and improvements generally are up to date, perhaps, because tourists from all parts of the world visit Switerland. The people treat us well. They seem more like Americans than anywhere else in Europe. I am not coming home this winter. My engagement with Barnum & Bailey terminates Oct. 26 and they sail for America Oct. 29. I have' engaged with Buffalo Bill's show and will leave Switzerland for England Nov. 5. Be sure and send me some copies of the Plymouth Tribune. Papers from Americi always go the rounds of all the boys here. Give my regards and best wishes to all inquiring friends. North Township Sunday Schools. The Sunday schools of Noith tow nship and their invited guests met Sunday in the beautiful grove of Charles F. Sparr, one mile south of Linkville, under the auspices of Linkville Sunday school. The early part of the day was cool, out in the afternooon about 500 people were present. The followi nj; schools were represented, and mostly in large numbers: Linkville, Lapaz, Shiloh, Walnut Grove Mount Olive and Jacoby. Excellent music and singing was rendered bv each of the schools, also by a sextette from Lapaz consisting of G. W. Hutchings, D. L. Reynolds, the Misses, Mary Shafer, Flora Nye, Ethel Sharol and Jennie Bechtol. The Iprogram in the forenoon, was an address of welcome by Rev. A. P. Love, and an address by Mr. Charles Heim. A bountiful dinner followed, and at 1 o'clock the exercises were resumed. After singing an address was given by Mr. II. G. Thayer, of Plymouth, on "The Sunday school as a factor in upbuilding of the church and the betterment of society. During his remark Mr. Thayer paid a glowing tribute to the memory of Wm. McKiney. Excellent remarks were made by Benjamin Cramer, Robert Shroeder, WTilliam M. Nicho!s, Rev. J. A. Rhoades and James Keiser. A special feature was a hymn, sung by little Miss Tina Gill, who is endeavoring to obtain a musical education and paying her own way. As an evidence of good will and help a collection was taken up and presented to her. It was a large assemblage and the general expression was that it had been a pleasant and profitable day for the Sunday school cause. It stands alone, it towers above. There's no other, its nature's wonder, a warming poultice to, the' heart of mankind; Such is-Rocky Mountain Tea. 35c. J. W. Hess. '

Reunion of the Fourth Army Corps. One of the most famous organizations which will meet in Washington on the occasion of the Grand Army reunion is the Fourth Army Corps. Local members are bestirring them-r selves enthusiastically with a view to getting as large an attendance of their comrades as possible, and to make their stay in Washington as pleasant and profitable as can be. ' The Fourth Army Corps was distinctly a grand tightnc machine. It was born of a great battle. It obtained its name and birthright from the consolidation of the Twentieth and Twentieth-first Army Corps, which had been reduced in numbers on account of disease and battle losses, after Chickamauga. No body of defenders of the union saw and bore more of the brunt of the great struggle than this organization, It consisted of seventy-six regiments of infantry, and nine batteries of artillery. They carried their colors to the front on many a hotly-contested field. When the command was entrusted to Major General Gordon Granger, it was the opinion of General George II: Thomas, commander of the army of the Cumberland, that as a lighting corps it had no superior in the service.

The states represented in the corps were as follows: Indiana Nineteen regiments: consisting of the sixth, ninth, twentysecond, twenty-ninth, thirtieth, thirty-first, thirty-second, thirty-fifth, thirty-sixth, fortieth, fifty-first, fiftyseventh, fifty-eighth, sixty-eighth, seventy-ninth, eighty-first," eightyfourth and eighty-sixth, and the fifth and tenth batteries of light artillery. Illinois, twenty-one regiments; Kentucky, ten regiments: Ohio, twentyone regiments; Pennsylvania, one regiment; Missouri, the second and fifteenth infantry. Kansas, eighth infantry: Wistxnsin. the fifteenth and twenty-fourth artillery. After the evacuation of Atlanta, the enemy, who were supposed to be nursing their wounds in the country south of the city, suddenly appeared between Sherman's army and his base of supplies at Chattanooga. The entire array moved northward, causing the hasty evacuation of Middle Tennessee by the confederate troops under General Hood. General Sherman soon marched back to Atlanta, and thence direct to the sea, leaving the fourth and twenty-third army corps to fight the same force that had obstructed his advance upon Atlrnta all summer. The Fourth and Twenty-thirdCorps were sent to resist the invasion, which they did by a stand at Franklin, where occurred one of the fiercest and bloodiest struggles of any war. The veterans are old enough now for many of them to be passing away; but in many a bosom thrilling memories of the tragical and exciting days of 1861-65 will cause the heart to throb again as when in the ardor of the fight and the joy of the last triumph which reunited the country. Then they were young men, youths, averaging scarcely twenty-three years of age. From the ranks of the old corps have come some of the foremost men in civil life men prominent as statesmen, scho'ars, scientists and great merchants; men who bore the musket have become railway magnates, millionaires, and captains of industry, wieldidg incalculable influence upon the fortunes of the great republic they risked their lives four years to save. The earnest desire of the members of the Fourth Army Corps who live in Washington is to bring together at the coming encampment the best and largest reunion ever had. "There will be no rank there, "said One of the veterans; "title and riches will be leveled to a common bond ot cordial comradesuip, such as only those know who have continuously faced death together." James E. Houghton, of this city, commanded a company of the 29th and Amasa Johnson commanded a company of the 9th regiment in this corps, and there are hundreds of veterans in this and adjoining counties who are proud of the record of the gallant Fourth Army Corps. Many of them will attend the reunion at Washington. Plate Glass by Machinery. The Kokomo plant of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company has added a new feature in American plate glass making by installing machinery for the manufacture of plate glass mirrors. The blocking and beveling departments began operations this week and the silvering process will begin next Monday. All sizes will be made up to 160 by 254 inches. The company is also making bent glass for oval business fronts. One hundred additional workmen are required. . Plymouth Girls in South Bend. It is said that Chief of Police ' McWeeny found two girls from Plymouth "and one girl from Mishawaka conducting a house of ill-repute on Colfax avenue, near Main streit , yesterday. The girls It is said, ran away from home and bad been in the city two weeks. They were sent home. South Bend Tribune.' t -
