Hill is not running for office, but it would be wrong to suspect thaa his present activity in politics is for the mere benefit of his native land. Ex Governor Boies has given up the fight for congress in the third Iowa district. He says he will be badly beaten, and complains that the peo jle seem to like the Iowa republican platform better than his views of the tariff. In forty-five congressional districts in the South there is no candidate but the democratic, and it may be predicted with safety that the entire forty-five men who will be elected will not receive as many votes as will be polled in two Indiana districts. The British commander in Soaliland regrets to announce that he has met the enemy and feels obliged to ask for immediate re-enforcements. British tax payers may find some consolation in the fact that Africa is a large piece of real estate. Timely is this note of warning sounded by the Columbia City Post: "It is scarcely necessary to warn voters against the 11th hour circular or campaign lie. If these things are not encountered this year it will simply be because somebody has grown tired of that kind of political warfare." Senato; Hanna's meetings through the ga. h..t, and at South Bend, were immerse outpourings of the people. The enthusiasm was in keeping with the size of the crowds, which left employments in a busy season to greet the man in public life who has done more than any other man to bring the Industrial forces of thss country into harmonious relations. The rumors tha" je British and German govern men1 have arranged for the purchase of Portuguese East Africa have been strengthened by the refusal of the British government to discuss the question in the house of commons. This is taken to mean that the necessary diplomatic negotiations are under way, but not ready for presentation to the public. It will not do to say that the widespread desire to see and hear Senator Hanna Is inspired by curio Ity or to express personal regard for .he man. It is because he is a republic in leader who is the exponent of tbe opinion that labor and capital should be brought into friendly , relations, and because he is a man In earnest to promote the welfare of the industrial people of the country. In four southern states there are no republican candidates for congress this year. Georgia, with eleven members, Florida with three, Mississippi with eight and South Carolina with seven will have one-sided elections. The republicans have made no nominations, in four of the ten districts in Tennessee and none In six of the sixteen districts in Texas. All of the states named would be the gainers if they would tolerate freedom of upinion, fair elections and honest coun ä
Some of the independent steel companies are gettiug ready to fight the big trust. Or it may be that they desire to be absorbed at profitable
figures. Report of Register of Treasury Lyons shows that of $782,924,330 bonds of the United States outstanding only $16,022,850 are held by for eigners. Judged by the old standards of stump speaking Senator Ilanna may not be an eloquent orator, but he speaks with attractive power and convincing force, Colonel Mosby, special agent of the Interior Department, reports that cattle raisers are Illegally occupying millions of acres of public lands in the "West which ought to be open to homestead settlers. It is given out that Attorney General Knox will prepare an anti-trust bill to be presented to congress when it shall meet in December. That is, the republicans propose to legislate, leaving others to howl. The anthacitc coal strike committee which met and organized Friday afternoon, received Instructions from President Roosevelt asking a thorough investigation and for some plan that will prevent future ruinous disputes. The latest republican estimate of the political complexion of the next house is 214 republicans and 172 democrats a republican majority of 42. This is better than was expected a few weeks ago, but the republican outlook has greatly improved. Great Britain is hardly done with the Boer war before she is threatened with another, which, If not so serious, may prove embarrassing. Military operations in Somaliland. which is in an inaccessible part of Eastern Africa, will be carried on with difficulty, and the natives are led by able chiefs inspired by religious fanaticism. Pertinently the New York "World says: "Eighty millions of people, most of them optimists bound to see the lightest and brightest side of whatever happens, are entirely happy because the great coal strike of 1902 the greatest strike that ever happened is over. And yet and yet . The fundamental conditions that made this strike possible and brought the country so perilously near to a disaster are not changed in the least. At the annual meeting of the Illinois Conference of Charities the secretary of the national conference delivered an address in which he characterized the introduction or recognition of politics in the management of public institutions as fatal to good management of the accomplishment of good results. "This thing alone," said the speaker, "is responsible for more than half of the scandals that effect the administration of our institutions and public funds, and to its credit can be placed more than half of the troubles that harass and annov institution officials. " Hanna Did Not Stop Here. On Thursday, County Chairman Boss announced that Senator Hanna's train would stop in Plymouth ten minutes and requested us to say so in the Tribune. On Friday forenoon he told us that we might say that It was doubtful whether the train would have time to stop here and we wrote a local saying that the train would not stop. Mr. Boss left town at noon and in the afternoon a membej; of the executive committee came in and said that it was probable that the train would stop, consequently we left it doubtful in Friday evening's Tribune. But everybody wanted to see Mark Ilanna and over 500 people went to the Vandalia station, scores of teams coming in frorn the country. . The train was over an hour late, Senator Hanna was not well when he came to Indiana. He left Logansport almost completely exhausted after haying made over a dozen speeches in two days, and having to make a speech in South Bend at 8 o'clock, consequently the train whirled through here at 20 minutes before 8 o'olock In tbe evening without stopping. Curious Southern Precedent The judgment of Mr. Buchanan, of Texas, displayed in waiving his thirty days of preparation and having his hanging on the spot was perhaps good. There were so many people around who were bent on executing that colored brother in an informal and improper manner, that he didn't care to take the chances. So, at his request, the sheriff ma'.ched him from the court room straight to the gallows and suspended him as the lawyers say nunc pro- tunc." It might have been a little irregular to accept a waiver of the sort but it was so undeniably convenient for all concerned that probably the sheriff will be sustained by the courts as well as by the people. But the incident will xgo down In history as one of the curiosities of southern jurisprudence. Nebraska State Journal. Sale Bills printed at the Tribune.

The Indianapolis Sews, an indedendent paper always more democratic than republican has changed its opinion of Senator Hanna within the past five years. The News says: 4iThere can be no denying the reality of the enthusiasm that Senator Hanna's visit aroused, now much of it is on his own account Is difficult to say. A great man always focuses the the loyalty that is given to a cause and then goes beyond this In adding that only a great personality can create. Senator Hanna's greatness is fully felt; an enthusiastic admirer expressed the general feeling when he called out; "You are the real thing, M ark. " There is as little noubt that that is tbe concensus of opinion as that it is true. As we have taken occasion to say before this. Senator Ilanna entered public life unknown and was quickly misunderstood. His party position drew on him a storm of derision that would have buried a smaller man. But he could say with Diogenes, Nevertheless I am not derided, "and he has survived to bury his deriders. He has prevailed in the general esteem, more largely be it said by his non-political than his political work, but even so, his day and generation have come to know him as he is one of the greatest men of the day in American affairs "the real thing." Why Votes Are Thrown Out Over 200 Votes are thrown out not counted t every general election In Marshall iounty. An intelligent citizen said tbt other day if I wished ot vote all the republican ticket except one name I should put the X in the circle with the!eagle and then place the X against the name on the democratic ticket." And he looked wondrously conceitecL But your ballot would be throwri out," replied a listener, "because you would have voted for two men Tor one office the republin by putting the X In the circle with the eaglfc and the democratic candidate byiputting the X in the square to the left of his name. Voting a mixed ticket or a straight ticket is the simplest thing in . the world. No one need, make a mistake. Read the little article headed "How to Vote as You Wish' in this paper. A Wonderful I Balance. The . rand balance, or scale, used in the Bai k of England is probably the most wonderful piece of mechanism to be seen any wherej It stands about seven feet high and weighs probably two tons. Tiiis scale Is so perfectly adjusted that it can weigh a grain of dust or 400 pounds W gold. A postage stamp placed op one of the two weighing portions wp move the Index six inches. If the weight placed upon the scale is beyond its capacity, an electric bell is set ringing, the ma. chine declining to execute a task of which it is incapable;
Mr. Carnegie's Hard Talk. The good nature of the "mother country" has seldom been put to a more severe test than that applied by Andrew Carnegie in his oration at St. Andrew's university, Scotland, on Wednesday. It cannot be said that Mr. Carnegie made any attempt to soften the blows which he deemed it his duty to inflict on British pride. He was not even mindful of the tender chords he was striking when he passed completely over the national prejudices of the British people, and in considering the outlook, saw hope only in Germany for the promotion of an understanding which would save Europe from commercial demination by the United States. It appeared to him and he said as much that Great Britain had ceased to be a primary factor in world politics. Only one so great as the German Emperor, he told his audience, "could influence the men who today control Europe, to take the first step, not to federate, but by an alliance to insure internal peace." Without this peace, and an alliance of tbe powers for mutual protection, Mr. Carnegie said, the European nations would be condemned soon "to revolve like so many Lilliputians around the giant Gulliver, the American Union, soon to embrace 100,000,000 of the English-speaking race, and capable of supplying most of the world's wants." As far as England was concerned, power to stem the tide of American aggression had passed out of her hands, Mr. Carnegie thought. It was a pbysicial impossibility for Great Britain, he said, to produce material things rivaling -In amount those of countries of the size of America, Russia, and Germany. Nor would a union of the British empire change the situation, for neither Canada nor Australia gave promise of much increase in population or industrialism All thought of material ascendency, even with the British empire united, must therefore be abandoned. Mr. Carnegie presented figures to show that the United States was the greatest nation in tbe world today, with Great Britain holding a questionable secondary position. Germany was even now threatening to push Great Britain into third place. The End of the Strike. The decision of the United Mine Workers to return to work and submit their cause to the arbitration commission was so confidently expected that it has been taken for granted and approved by anticipation. That it was a wise decision everyone will agree. The convention conducted itself with prudence and moderation, responding to a public need in a manner which showed its appreciation of the tremendous debt which it owed to the public. The fact is that the power of public sentiment has never been more strikingly illustrated than in this long and costly strike. While credit has been given to this or that individual for his efforts to bring about a settlement it was the pressure of public sentiment that forced the operator- to modify their uncompromising tone and attitude. But meanwhile the public suffered by its loyalty to the miners, and its conscience was satisfied when the essential concessisn was won. If after that the strike had continued into the winter and a much greater suffering had resulted because the miners themselves had proved obstinate their convention would have been recalled with reproaches Instead of with applause. They may now rest assured that they have acted for their own best interests and established a new claim upon public sympathy. Record Herald,
Deep Snow 62 Years Ago. Daniel Green, coming down Lafayette street at noon, incidentally remarked that 62 years ago today there was snow 38 inches deep on the ground. He was out in a cornfield, on horseback, to gather as ack of c rn, when the snow began to fall. The snow-fall was quite protracted and at the close recorded a depth of 38 inches. . There were a great many more leaves on the trees than they are today, and in some cases the limbs were borne down upon the surface of the accumulated snow. It was a remarkably abruptjtranslation from autumn to extreme winter. The contrast between October 22, 1840, and October 22, 1902, as noted by Mr. Green is quite pronounced. South Bend Times. Industrial Conditions. Reports to the Indiana Bankers' association in session at Indianapolis were made by congressional districts, the report for the Thirteenth district, by W; A. Banta of Rochester, being as follows. "Industrial conditions are better than last year. Trade is optimistic. Hardly a cloud Is perceptible on the financial horizon. Three new banks have been organized during the year: The Merchants' National bank, South Bend; Kosciusko National Bank, Warsiw, and, the First National Bank, Bourbon. The wheat crop is 30 per cent, larger than last year, corn 20 per cent. larger, and oats 5 per cent, larger."
Importing Disease, The commissioner general of immigration reports that although the increase of immigration has been not quite one-third over that of. 1901 the comparative increase of diseased aliens for the same period has been more than two to one. The only penalty now provided for bringing diseased aliens into the country is a return of the sufferer at the expense of the offending ship line. As the commissioner says, this is virtually "no penalty," and his assertion is proved by the fact of the .increase in the number of diseased emigrants whom the government is compelled to send back to the ports of debarkation. The classes of emigrants who have become notably more numerous of late years than formerly represent sociological conditions of the lowest type in their native countries. Filth diseases are most numerous in citips of insufficient or impure water supply. The habit of personal cleanliness is difficult or impossible in large oriental areas. In portions of southern Europe it is looked upon as vain luxury by morbid asceticism. Propagation of filth diseases even where there is an abundant water supply is still rife i'i densely settled parts of Europe where the modern science of sanitary plumbing and hygenic drainage is still practically unknown. That cleanliness is the foundation of the health of coir munities has been completely demonstrated by the comparative ease by which hygenic precautions have stopped the advance of epidemics on frontiers. Importation of disease by shipping ines is not to be corrected by trivial ones. The evil can be reached effectively at only ports of embarkation. There is an American consul at every large shipping port abroad. It ougnt to be a part of his duty to see thatdiseased emigrants are not allowed to procure passage for this country. A system of medical inspecticn to this end can be enforced with the cooperation of local authority. Vigorous and concerted action on the part of the United States government through its representatives at ports of debarkation will correct an evil which has attained menacing proportions. Chicago Chronicle. Foeign Comment The London Standard, commenting on the settlement of the coal miners' strike in the United States, says that the questions at issue are such that a settlement is scarcely possible unless one side or the other is prepared to make a substantial abatement of its demands. But it is a great thing to have arranged a truce. President Roosevelt must be congratulated on the jesult. The Telegraph says that nothing but Mr. Roosevelt's able and earnest intervention and his unrivalled confidence in his fellow-citizens could have succeeded in restoring industrial peace. The Times says it would be interesting to know what considerations were pressed upon Mitchell in his final interview with President Roosevelt. They must have been weighty ones to compel what is really an unconditionsurrender. Mr. Roosevelt has taken the whole thing into his own hands and is keeping it there. The commission is not an ordinary arbitration court, but a board to make a government inquiry. In a most quiet and unobtrusive manner Mr. Rcosevelt has done a very big thing. It is an entirely new thing that we are witnessing. It is not merely the ending of a coal strike, but the entry of a powerful government upon a novel sphere of operations. Mr. Roosevelt has not taken up this task as an amateur mediator. He has not entered upon it without counting the cost or without the support of convictions and ideas far, outrunning the ostensible subject mbster of his action.
Reclaiming Ireland. To make Ireland a desirable country to inhabit and thereby not only check the outflow of her people but also encourage those already abroad to actum is the object of tbe art Industrial settlement, opened in Dublin. The heads of the settlement will be Miss Evelyn Gleeson of the Irish literary society of London, Miss Lily .Yeäts and Elizabeth C. Yeats, daughters of the Irish portrait painter, J. B. Yeats. These young women are ardent Irish patriots, and personally talented. Miss Gleeson is a powerful writer on pro-Irish themes. Lily Yeats has made( a reputation in London as a teacher of art needlework. Elizabeth Yeats is a gifted art critic. They have taken a large and beautiful house in Dublin and intend to convert it Into a center both of propagandist and practical work for the industrial rebuilding of Ireland, particularly as regards art industries. In their schemes for rebuilding Irish industries, the Misses Gleeson and Yates have the hearty sympathy of Irish patriots everywhere. They will add one more active force to the large number that are now striving to bring Ireland back to the path of national greatness. Tell your neigh oors about the good qualities of The Tribune.

The word tt kicker" is no more slang, but an honorable term admitted by the lexicographer to the round table of English speech. This acceptance of the word proves that there was a real need for it ; that a certain class of people had no word in the English language to fitly designate them. As a class these kickers must be as modern as the word which describes them. They are in effect a new product of our latest civilization. The word which describes the kicker is picturesque. It suggests the mule whose kicking is usually done out of pure wantonness ; which kicks in season and out of season, at everything or at nothing as the case may be. The term kicker scarcely needs definition. We know exactly what it means, as well as we know the chronic fault-finder it designates. T2B RISS OF THE KICKER. Any one who cares to trace tbe rise of the kicker will find that he keeps pace with the prevalent American disease, dyspepsia. All kickers may not be dyspeptics, but all dyspeptics are surely kickers. They are everlasting faultfinders. Nothing goes right for them in the family or in business. There is always a dead fly in their ointment. It is a miserable condition for the dyspeptic and his friends. He really can't help himself. His nerves are strained to the limit of endurance. His ears are like megaphones magnifying every little sound to the shock of thunder. His eyes lose sense of perspective and he sees mole-hills as mountains. He is suspicious, jealous, unreasonable and obstinate ; and all these things are only symptoms of the disease which is starving and weakening the entire nervous system and reaching out toward heart, liver, lungs, kidneys and other organs. WHAT CAN BB DOKS FOR HIMf What can be done for the victim of dyspepsia? He can be cured. He can be given a new start in life. He can be made the amiable, companTotjable man he was of old. He can once more eat with appetite and enjoyment, work with energy, and sleep the night through in sound, dreamless slumber. This is not a mere empty claim unsupported by facts. The statement that the dyspeptic can be cured is made on the authority of thousands of men and women, wha have been entirely cured Boys Pnks. Postoffice Inspector Fletcher says that if tbe country youths persist in destroying and maliciously- tearing down the rural mail delivery boxes some of them will find themselves in prison for three years and suffer a fine of $1,000, the maximum penalty fixed by tbe last congress for the offense. Inspector Fletcher, says the pranks of some of" the farm boys in tearing down the boxes will get them in trouble, and they should be warned of the consequences of this play before the celebration of Hollowe 'en on October 31. 1

Residence Walnut & Washington Sts. of dyspepsia and other diseases of tk stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition by the use of Dr. Pierce Golden Medical Discovery. It always helps. It almost always cures. O. S. Copenhaver, Esq., of Mount Union, Huntingdon Co., Pa. (Box 222), writes: About twelve years ago I was suddenly taken with a pain in the pit of the stomach which was so violent I could not walk straight. It would grow more severe until it caused waterbrasb and vomiting of a slimy, yellow water. I consulted a physician and he told rae I had a form of dyspepsia and treated me for about six months with but little benefit. I still kept getting so weak I could scarcely walk. I then tried another physician and he told me my liver was out of order and that I had indigestion. He gave me a treatment and I got some better, but only for a short time. I thta tried another erne who said I had chronic indigestion, ulceration of the lining of the stomach, torpid 1 1--liver and kidney affection. He treated me for more than a year and I felt much better but it did'not last. I then took to using several widely advertised patent medicines, but received no more than temporary relief while using. I then tried Dr. Pierce's medicines, using his Golden Medical Discovery,' ' Favorite Prescription' and the 'Pleasant Pellets ' and in two months time I was feeling better than I had for years before. I can truthfully say Dr. Pierce's medicines did me more good than any Z had ever taken." Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It restores bodily strength by enabling the assimilation of food which is the source of ail physical strength. It acts directly on the blot d-making glands, increasing their acti7ity and so increasing the supply of blood which is enriched and purified by the " Discovery." " Golden Medical Discovery " contains so alcohol and is entirely free from opium, cocaine and all other narcotics and injurious drugs. Do not accept any substitute for the "Discovery " though claimed to be "just as good.'' Golden Medical Discovery has cured when all other medicines have failed. There is nothing else "just as good." $25,000.00 GIVEN AWAY The cost of the copies of Dr. Common Sense Medical Adviser (exclusive of expense of mailing), given away last year was over $25,000.00.
