The Boston Chamber of Commerce has adopted a resolution advocating general tariff revision and approving suggestions of President Roosevelt for establishment of a permanent tariff commission. While there is still a good deal of official hope in Washington that the Cuban reciprocity treaty will be ap proved by the senate, the unofficial opposition to it hasn't flung any white flags to the public breezes. .. Charles Page Bryan of Chicago is to be made minister to Portugal, and to be succeeded as minister to Switzerland by Dr. David Jayne Dill, first as sistant secretary of state; Francis B. Loomis, present minister at Lisbon is slatf d for the State department. One American establishment last "year turned out 1250 locomotives. The best part of it is that Uncle Sam Is getting the, same reputation for locomotives that he has lung had for agricultural machinery, in .which he stands first, with the rest not in sight. . Practically all of tne great railroads in the country arc massing their forces against the Hoar anti-trust bill, which aims a vital blow at preferential rates to tba trusts. Seldom has such activity been noted In the way of opposition to any congressional measure introduced in recent years. With all the war taxes repealed the excess of the receipts of the treasury over the expenditures during the last six months was $24,000,000, in round numbers, and the reduction of the public de!t during December was $10, 932, 602. Six years ago certain newspapers made figures showing that the Dingley law would not afford sufficient revenue to meet tb2 current expenses of the government. Statistics published by the Cremation Society of England show that this methiid of disposing: of bodies of the dead is growing in favor. There are now twenty-six crematories in the United stales and during the 'year 1901 there .were 2,605 Incineration's. The practice, is legalized in nearly eve.y European country, and in Germany there is'-a movement to make it compulsory in all cases where death results from infectious diseases. The arguments , in favor of it, based on sanitary and hygienic grounds, are not easilv answered. - Senator Quay is said to be hopeful of getting New Mexico and Arizona admitted this winter, and of defeating the plan to unite Oklahoma and the Indian Territory. Quay, however, may be bluffing. He knows be will need a good many republican votes to carry his proposition, even if the solid strength of the democracy is cast on his side. There is no good reason to suppose that many republicans will break away from their party on this proposition. The statehood fight threatens to be so fierce that all the territories may have to remain in their present stage for another year. Tnose persons who urge an indiscriminate attack on all trusts and industrial combinations assume that they are all alike public enemies But suppose they are not. Suppose that many of them belong in the 1st of Instrumentalities by which the United States has raised itself to the first rank as a commercial country. Then it would be the height of , folly to destroy them. Those persons who insist that they should all be abolished arrogate too much wisdom to themselves. It would be wiser to go slow and to discriminate between trusts which are public enemies and those which are not. Indianapolis Journal. The prosecuting attorneys are joining with the sheriffs and ether county officers for such amelioration of fee and salary restrictions as will add to their official Income. Under present conditions the prosecutor recsives $500 per annum, which is expected to cover service I a felony cases, while he is. allowed a fee where fines in misdemeanor cases are paid. As an argument for a change, it is alleged that the prosecutor will make a misdemeanor oul of a felony wherever possible, and where offenses are both felonies and misdemeanors he will give the preference to th latter, because his fee is involved.

The friends of ex-Sheriff D udley, o Sullivan county, who are t trying to shield him from the operation ' of Ahe law do not seem to realize that they put themselves In the position of approving and defending the action of the mob that lynched the negro prisoner. - ; '

Commenting oh the Sullivan county case the Chicago Tribune thinks that "if there were a law in other states like that of Indiana it would be better for the general administration of law, and sheriffs and jailers would be more alert In the discharge of their duties." Undoubtedly. It is a good law, and should be upheld. ' The crucial test of the profit-shar ing schema evolved by the United States Steel company will come when the inevitable period of depression shall set in. People are always ready and eager to share profits but never losses. That's a horse of a different color. The shoe - then pinches in a tender spot. However, let us all hope for the best. South Bend Times. In Chicago the attorney general of Illinois finds upon investigation that the railroads are not responsible for the 'scarcity of coal, but that their yards are filled with cars loaded with coal because the dealers ' are willing to pay the charges of holding loaded cars, hoping for an opportunity to advance the price when the scarcity Is greater. x The allies have already expended, in theij blockade of Venezuela and in the rest of their demonstration against that country, more money than their claims amount to, and this sum can not be assessed by any tribunal. This will be another argument against the attempt to collect debts by force of arms. Probably this will be the last time that any European nation will ever attempt to collect the bills of any of its subjects due by any nation on the 'American continent. Discussing the practice of governments acting as claim collectors the Review of Reviews thinks there should be limits placed upon the freedom with wbich adventurous travelers or traders may call upon their home governments to relieve their misfortunes or underwrite their bad investments. "It would seem. only reasonable," it says, 'that if an Englishman or a German should deliberately choose to take speculative chances in a South Ameri can republic of notoriously revolutionary proclivities, he ought to carry his own risks provide his own insurance, so to f peak." The worst feature of the practice is that, as a rule, the claimant government., demands a stated sum, , without giving the other party a voice in fixing the amount, and then makes refusal to pay a cause of war. "Why should a nation be plunged in war to enforce payment of the claim of an individual? . No Pardons Until After Legislation. Governor Durbin will consider no more appeals for executive clemency untir thirty days after the adjournment of. the legislature. That announcement was made by the governor Saturday, who realizes that his time will be so completely occupied by affairs of a legislative nature that he will have no time . to hear pardon requests. Teachers Alarmed. Representative Dillinger will introduce a bill in the legislature making it a misdemeanor for any teacher to court one of the opposite sex during the school term. This has caused a storm of protest from many of the teachers of the state, and he is neaTly buried under the atack of letters he has received. It is said the teachers will have lobbyists at the session of the general assembly for the purpose of putting a damper on Dillinger and his bill. Valparaiso Messenger. Not .a Temperance Society. In a. recent interview the present chairman of the prohibition state committee is reported as saying that the organization is misunderstood, many people regarding It as a temperance society like the Good Templars and like associations. It is fair to assume that such a misconception cannot be very general, since the prohibition leaders have taken no part in efforts to extend abstinence by organization, Tbey are not lndentlfied with any moral work to create a temperance sentiment, As an association the prohibition leaders have not given encouragement to such workers as Francis Murphy. They simply look to the efficacy of the law without any effort to build up a sentiment against intemperance which will sustain such laws as they advocate. In recent years the leaders have . resorted to abuse of those who do not agree with them. Their leading organ attempted to turn public eentiment against such men as the late President McKinley by having spies watch him at public banquets and about his rooms in hotels, mckicg cn one occasion a great outcry bcecü:2 a bottle of cham;: jus vraa telica to h:3 rooms In a hotel, vrhleh, itturr-Jcut, fc-d fc::a vrd:rc3 by a c!:;:l23 Iln.

THE FARMERS' INSTITUTE

A Urge Attendance and Excellent Discussions of Subierts Pertaining to Successful Farming. . Friday was a bad day for the opening of the Farmers' Institute, but all the speakers were present and the court room was crowded with intelligent farmers. The need of live stock on the farm was ably presented by Prof. J. II. Skinner and the discussion which followed showed the advantages of a yariety of stock, hogs, beef cattle, sheep and cows. The subject of dairying was ably presented by Samuel Schlosser.. 1 i In the afternoon the soil conditions necessary for profitable crop growing were discussed by O. A. Somers. The advantages and disadvantages of different crops were presented by the speaker and ably discussed : by . the farmers present. The subject of manures and com mercial fertilizers elicited much at tentlon. The address of Albert Hume was one of the best ever given the farmers of this county. Commercial fertilizers were, in the language of one leading farmer, given a black eye, because it was demonstrated that they are worse than useless' unless the farmer understands the composition of his soil and knows just what kind of a fertilizer to apply. At the session on Saturday morning, Prof. J. H. Skinner, of Purdue University, gave a lesson In judging live stock. Poland China and Duroe hogs were placed on . the stand and the points which make one hog superior to another were shown. An In teresting and profitable discussion of the subject followed. How to succeed on a small farm, growing hogs for profit and silos and ensilage were other subjects discussed today and much valuable Information was elicited. The farmers' institutes of this coun ty have almost invariable had bad weather to contend with, but they have always been well attended and the Interest seems greater every year. Marshall county has scores of farmers and farmers' wives who are capable or discussing all matters pertaining to profitable farming and not only that; they are demonstrating every year that they practice what they preach and are making their farms and homes better more comfortable and profit able. The. institute closed Saturday after noon, after electing, B. W. Ross, of Polk township, president and David E. Vanvactor, secretary for the en suing year and adopting the usual resolutions. ' Before , adjournment . William O'Keefe made the statement that it was said Indianapolis that the farmers would oppose the taking of the orphan girls out of the Indiana Reform atory, because it would increase taxes. Mr. O'Keefe did not believe this and he offered the follow! hg resolutl n which received the vote of every farm er attending the institute: WriEREAs, There are now in the Indiana Female Reformatory certain girls of tender ages, against whom no charge exists (unless It be a crime to bean orphan and destitute of a home), but who are sentenced to said Reform atory in the third method prescribed in Section 8273 of Burns' Revised Statutes of 1894; and "Whereas, We do believe that such a system is dangerous to the morals of the young girls so placed in said re formatory; Theretobe, Be it Resolved by the Marshall County Farmers' Association, of Marshall county Indiana, that we do hereby express our disapproval of such a law. and call the attention of our members of the state legisla ture to labor for the repeal of that part of said Section No. 8273, Burns' R. S., 1894, which allows .such a dangerous practice. , , The institute also passed the usual resolutions of thanks to the people of Plymouth and all who assisted in making the institute a success, and the following resolutions of a general nat ure. Resolved,' That we believe the expenditure ot a quarter million dollars or any other sum in the building of an additional normal school in In diana, is wholly unwarranted and especially so when so few teachers at tend the state normal we now have, and for further reason the present school is adequate in every respect to meet the -present needs. . Resolved, That we further commend our state senator for his fight against the state school supply bill of the last legislature which if carried would have taken the purchasing power from our school board, trustee and advisory board and placed it in the hands of a committee of three or five, who would have controlled and manipulated the entire purchasing power for the schools of the state; and as the vicious measure will again come before the legislature, vre earnestly ask our representatives to do all in their pov;er to defeat it. rsoLVED, That we fayor the crzcrI cf t-3 law (;ovcrclnj hz election cf read cupcrvioors co this cold cup:rv!:on all ta tl::t:3 by the

votes cf their respective road dis trlct3; ? .

Resolved, That we, in institute assembled, ask pur state senator and representative in all ways, to guard the interests of the taxpayers to prevent extravagance in state administration and as far as possible decrease taxation. TI1E WOMANS' SESSION. The ladies met in the M. E. church at 9:30 a. m. Saturday. The atten dance was large and the church was crowded during the entire day. The music, recitations and discus slonsof ail mattejs pertaining to the home;, the schools, society and every thing that can make the lives of farm ers' wives better were participated in bv more than the usual number of ladies, and the meeting was very in teresting and profitable. The officers for the ensuing year are: , Chairman Mrs. Lerov Evans. Secretary Grace Erwin. Members of the Ad visorv ' Board Mrs. Leroy Staley. Center; Mrs. Mina Miller, North; Mrs.. Lewis Zechiel, Union; Mrs. A. W. Dolpn, Polk; 'Mrs. Calvin Shakes, Bourbon; Mrs, Maud Laird, Tippecanoe; Mrs. Ferdinand Cox, Walnut; Mrs. Hattie Voreis, Green; Mrs. Adam Berg, German; Mrs. Ira Gam, West. Revival Meetings at M, Church. The first meeting of the series was held Monday evening and was well attended and full of interest. Rev. A. H.DeLong preached a very earnest and practical sermon, taking as bis subject, "Revivals, what they mean, and how to secure them." He showed that IM? was God's method in nature, in history and in grace. Nature holds Its resting time, the seasons of comparative death only to be revived by the coming of the spring. That the history of civilization was a history of leaps and hounds rather than slow development. The Christian church was born of a revival. The Methodist church which stands today as one of the greatest evangelistic factors in the world had its begining In a revival. Its growth is the re sult of its aggressiveness In revival effort. Two thirds of all converted people were brought Into the church during the revival. He ridiculed the idea of any Methodist saying,' 4,I do not believe in revivals." Revivals come of prayer, holy living, and hard work. We do not countenance spurious, emotional and. spasmodic revivals but the genuine thing bv which men and women are born into the Kingdom of God. The meetings open with great promlle. Services this eve ning at 7:30. Representative Mummert's Plans. Representative E. Mummert, ot Goshen, will introduce three or four bills this session that will come in for no small .hare of attention. In the first place ae will seek to amend the law regulating the terms of municipal officers so that members of city councils will be elected for terms of four years, instead of two. Mr. Mummert will also offer a bill providing that all corporate franchises shall be taxed, one amending the law fixing the maximum daily wage of school teacher at two and one-half times the average they make in their examinations, so that the minimum wage may be from one and a half to two and a half times the average; one providing for a revision of the Indiana statutes by a commission to be named by the governor, and a resolution for an amendment to the constitution by which the qualifications of practicing attorney may be made more rigid. Lafayette's Lucky . Politicians. Lord, but those Lafayette politi: cians are lucky chaps. There was Dan Storms for instance. He had no op position for the nomination for secre tary of state, and his opposition at the polls didn't amount to much. Then there was Senator Will Wood, who openly, and defiantly snapped his. fingers in the face of organized labor two years ago, and was marked for a political keel-hauling by the union men of Tippecanoe county. Well, . he walked right away with both the nomination and election and will do business at the old stand this winter. Next came Henry W. Marshall, speaker that is to be. Three other gentlemen) the aged and experienced War-. ren. Sayre being one, started in to block Mr. Marshall's speakership game. Like the bear, the Lafayette man concluded to do some hunting Instead of being hunted, and now the honor is all his own. He scared his competitors so badly they took to the timber and gave him a clear pathway. Indianapolis Independent. A Sensible Conclusion. Two hundred prominent merchants of Reading, Pa., have declared that advertising in the newspapers is good enough for them and that henceforth they will use only the newspapers for such advertisements as they may publish. They will have nothing to do hereafter with schemes for ads. in hotel registers, desks, billboards, clocks, keyboards, charts, programmes, tickets, cookboc!, moving pictures, enunciators, curtain advertisements, oil painting and pamphlets.

Crura, elocutionist, of the South Bend schools, favored the crowd with an interesting declamation, entitled "Van Biber's Rock." Miss Esther A. Peterson presided at the piano. The later part of the evening was spent in games. Refreshments were served, and at a late hour the happy young people returned to their homes each feeling that they spent a pleasant evening, Donaldson Times. Substitute fot Quinine. ' You think you are bilious. Well, I should think you would be! What did you expect your stomach and liver could stand? You ought to be thankful that you got off with simply being bilious. The wonder is that vou have any stomach or liver left at all, says Medical Talk. What would I advise? Well, in order to stir up your liver a little and give you a slight gymnastic exercise I woud advise you to go and find the doctor who gave you 100 grains of quinine and give him a good licking. Hit him with your hands. Don't hit with a club or shoot him. Just use your open hand After you have4done this right I would quit using tobacco, if not entirely at least nearly so, say a little after supper each day, Use no alcoholic stimulants of any soit. Let your diet be simple and plain. Avoid excesses, Avoid everything fried during the hot season. Eat much fruit; drink much water. Take long nights' sleep. Behave yourself . Keep away from the doctors. ' , Will Outgrow Drawback. When it became kDown that Presldeot Roosevelt would appoint RoDert B. Armstrong, Secretary Sbaw's private secretary, to the post of assistant secretary ot tbe treasury, to succeed Gen. Spauldlng, there was an epidemic of heart failure among the supporters of older candidates for this Important position. Armstrong was Inexperienced in the character ot tbe duties which would devolve upon him, they declared. One of these men went to Secretary Shaw, whose observances of Mr. Armstrong's work as private secretary had thoroughly convinced him that there was material for a competent assistant secretary of the treasury. "Armstrong Is all right, Mr. Secretary." said be, "but Is he not jnst a little young?" "Why, I dont know perhaps he is," replied Secretary Shaw, looking quizzically at hl3 .vlcltor. "But juss give him ä littls time. Hell get oyer thatdlrl-ht."

At the morning service Sunday the pastor made acknowledgment of the neat and thorough surprise which the members extended to himself and wife last Thursday night, when they assembled in the parsonigeand so substantially expressed their appreciation. The two purses contained about twenty-five dollars.. In one respect it was easy to accept such a gift, because it was given with such generous and genuine sincerity. In another respect it was hard to accept, because it was so little deserved. It was received with deep gratitude and the promise, at least to try to deserve the affection of such a people by proving more efficient in the future than in the past. This is only a 'single instance of numerous expressions of regard which are being constantly manifested. The W. M. S. meets at th3 parsonage Wednesday at 2:30 p. m. All are welcome. The pastor erred in an annorancement Sunday. There will be no service of preaching next Sunday morning. Preaching in the evening as usual. The pastor's "assistant suggested these resolutions for 1903: 1. I will pray for every service. . 2. I will attend every service. 3. I will be a soul-seeker. 4. I will give God one-tenth of my income. Seeking and Saving." Was the subject at the M. E. church Tuesday evening. The large congregation showed much Interest in Eev. DeLong's frank and earnest presentation of the subject. Mr. DeLong says he has no sympathy with the man who falls to preach the whole gospel, men who talk of God's mercy and love and fail to remember that God is just. He urged his hearers to make earnest and persistent effort for the Recovery of men from theirsins. This was Christ's work aud it should be the work of the followers of Christ. The meetings are opening up nicely and with great promise of success. The pastor will preach this evening. Subject, uThe Divided Pile." Service will commence at 7:30. Tcn-Vear-Old Boy Preaches. .

The Starvation Fad. The process of starving one's system abstaining from the usual amount of food in order to reduce flesh, has been shown to be most injurious to health whenever it has been carried to the extreme. Naturally the person of large avordupois needs more food than one of smaller frame, ane the demand must be supplied or physical weakness will necessarily follow. This state of things was clearly exemplified in the latter days of axSpeaker Thomas B. Reed. Mr. Reed was a man of massive size and had a voracious appetite. With his increasing years he increased in bodily weight until be tipped the beam at 275 pounds. He enjoyed compartlvdy good health, but like many another fat person, became alarmed over his increasing flesh and sought to reduce it by the dieting plan. Mr. Reed told a friend a few days before his death that by going hungry for many days, by eating only half a meal at breakfast, dinner and supper, he had reduced his weight about 40 pounds, yet he experienced the pangs of hunger all the time. He got up from every meal with his appetite only half satisfied, went to bed hungry and got up hungry in the morning. Now all this starving process only tended to weaken the vital organs of an unusuallv strong and sound man and it was the statement of Mr. Reed's physicians that his sudden collapse and death was due mainly to his rigid dieting which affected the heart circulation and tbe action of other important organs of the body. South Bend Tribune. - Janus. The poet makes January say; 'Janus am I, oldest of potentates" Why not make this month say; Patron am I ot Rheumatism, which I make more painful; of Catarrh, which I make more annoying; of Scrofula, which I develop with all Its sores, inflamations and eruptions? Hood's Sarsaparrilla can be relied upon to cure these .diseases, radically and permanently, and so there is no good excuse for suffering from them. Letter to Ar. S. Parker. Plymouth, Ind.
