The Oregon has been through a terrific gale, but is still afloat. She went on the rocks on the other side of the Pacific, but was eventually pulled off. ' In case of need she will turn up again In the nick of time and hold the critical position in the line. "When the special rule of the committee on. rules in the house was offered the democrats to a man voted against it. Without the adoption of that rule the bill to rebate the duties on coal for one year could not have been passed. That was playing politics and playing itvery badly. Carnegie leads the tax pay log in New York on personal property, with 5,000,000 charge against blm, while poor Mr. Mogao lags along far in the rear with a paltry 600,000. He must have overdone the matter a little at Christmas time, and hasn't caught up yet but he wllll. : The statement that the former Boer republic will contribute $150,000,000 as the expenses of the late war and that the British government will loan an additional sum of the same amount to assist in developing the resources of the country, though not officially confirmed, is believed in London to be accurate. Men like Judge Taft, who has twice declined a supreme court justiceship because he thought duty required him to remain longer in the Philippines, are the kind that do honor to a nation. It is to be hoped be may lire to complete his work in the Philippines and round out bis career as a justice of the supreme court. For at least a year coal will be on the free list. In a single day both houses of congress voted to this effect. The senate did even better than the house; it voted unanimously to suspend coal duties for a year and added an amendment that hard' coal shall not again become dutiable after the expiration of the year limit. Senator Ferris has introduced in the Minnesota leg.sUture a bill for the establishment of the state sanitarium for consumptives at or near Walker, Cass county.

The Indianapolis News think Indiana anarchists are not dangerous. It says: "We can see no excuse for raising the question of anarchv in this state, as Senator Parks does with his bill to protect the goyernor and other state officers. No governor, of In: diana has eyer been killed, and as far as we know, no governor has ever been attacked. It is not known that our present executive is in the slight est danger. "We have had here little or nothing of the spirit of anarchy. Our people as a rule are happy, con tended and law abiding. Even during the dreadful days of the civil war we had no assassination. "We can see no reason why the bill of Senator Parks should become a law. Among the matters other than material upon which Americans have cause to congratulate themselves is the decrease in drunkenness. A great deal of liquor is still drunk and will no doubt continue to be drunk, but we have far less inebriety nowadays than twenty-five. or even ten years ago. The railroad companies, tele graph companies and other Wge corporations have had much to do in bringing this state of things about by refusing employment to drunkards, But above all, public opinion has been most potent in the stay of drunken ness. Formerly it was considered rather proper and manly to set drunic; Now it is deemed most disgraceful and unmanly. The result is that men who have self respect or who care for the respect of other people do not get drunk. The Truancy Law, It is stated that Senator Davis, who represents the counties of Brown, Green and Monroe, win introduce a bill to repeal the gtruancy feature of the compulsory education law. The law passed by the last legislature requires every parent or guardian of a child between the ages of seven and fourteen years to send such child to some school each year for a term not less than that of the public school The law provides that the County Board of Education shall appoint one truant officer in each county whose duty it shall be to see that parents and guardians of children obey this provision, and that children of the ages named are not habitually absent from school. Each county must have at 'least one truant officer, and cities may have from one to five, according to population. They are authorized to notify parents of their duty under the law. and there is a penalty7 for neglecting it.' Senator Davis is said to hold that truant officers are petty tyrants," ana tnat tney tire or no use. He says that in the counties he represents there are numerous com plaints against them for Interfering with the liberty and discretion of parents in keeping their children out of school. He proposes to put the duties of the truant officer, back into the hands of township trustees. , Commenting on this bill the India napolis Journal says: The duties of a truant officer are somewhat delicate and should be ex ercised with tact, intelligence and discretion, but the office is an impor tant feature of the compulsory educa tion law. In fact, it is an essential feature, and if it is repealed the law will be emasculated. The average township trustee is not sufficiently in sympathy with compulsory education to see that the law is enforced. It is possible that the truant officers in the counties of Brown, Greene and Mon roe, represented by Senator Davis. mav not have used as much discretion as they might have done in the performance of their duties, but it ' is more likely that the parents who have made complaints were keeping their children out of school or permitting them to absent themselves without reason. That Is .exactly the practice that the law was intended to correct. The law has only been In force two years, and.lt is much too soon to pro nounce It a failure or demand its re peal. v .

THE CRIME Oh ANARCHY Senator Parks' Introduces a Bill Design "ed. to Protect Officials. Senator Parks has introduced a bill for the punishment of Anarchists who kill or attempt to kill men at the head of the government, ne says the bill has been submitted to the best lawyers in. the state and they are unanimous tbat the bill should passand are equally in agreement concerning its constitutionality. The senator believes that there isstrong need In the state for just such a law, and he will work industriously to secure its passage. Under the bill the penalty for the murder of the governor Is death; for the lieutenant governor, of death; of an attempt on the life of either officer, or upon any officer in'the line of succession, life imprisonment. Aiding or abetting in this particular species of crime is termed as bad as actual participation, and the punishment is fixed as the same, Anarchist must not be harbored or given protection of any kind, and the penalty for a violation of this section is from one to ten years in prison, a fine of not more than $500 and disfranchisement. Anarchistic utterances, advocating the killing of a ruler of any state or country, may be punished by a fine of from $500 to $5,000 and imprisonment in the penitentiary for from one to twenty years, with disfranchisement. Death is the punishment for implication in a successful couspiracy to kill a ruler within or without the state. An attempt upon the life of a ruler as the result of a conspiracy shall be punished by long Imprisonment and a heavy fine. The Reyival Meeting. The best meeting of the' entire series so far was held Thursday evening. The house was crowded to the doors, many strangers and people from other churches being in attendance,and everyone, entered heartily into tne spirit of the service. Rev. A. P. DeLong preached a strong sermon taking as his text. "No man cared for my soul." He showed how mistaken David was and how mistaken every unconverted man and woman is who so think. He declared that the church is Interested in the welfare of men. This is proven by the money that is freely given for the publication of the gospel and the support of charitable institutions. At the conclusion he exhorted men and women to turn to Christ and seyeral responded. There are indications of a great av fkening. Service this evening at 7 :30 o'clock., . Anti-Saloon League Active.

The Anti-Saloon League of Indiana does not intend to see any of the present temperance statutes stricken from the rolls during the present session of the Indiana legislature. At a meeting of representatives of the league it was decided to defend theNicholson liquor law. ; Resolutions were adopted which set forth, "That since the law has withstood the tests of the supreme court, we positively favor that it remain Intact." Also. "That the patriotism of, the legislators .should prompt them to defend the rights of the people against this assault." ' ' 'Feb. 22, was decided upon as antlsaloon Sunday'1 and upon this occasion temperance rallies will be held in nearly ;every church In the state. If there is an attempt made by the saloon forces of Indiana to repeal or to change in any reepect the temperance laws, the church forces throughout the state will Immediately line up in battle. ' ' .

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT ASSISTANT POSTMASTER GENERAL OFFICE OF GENERAL SUPERlNTCfENT ' SALARIES AND. ALLOWANCES

WASHINGTON, D. C. AN INQUIRY ANSWERED E. A. Corbaly is Assistant Postmaster at Plymouth, Indiana. The impression prevails throughout this county that Oscar Porter is assistant postmaster at Plymouth. The Culver newspaper correspondents have been congratulating Mr. Porter on his appointment as assistant postmaster, because he had been a resident of Culver since the days of his childhood. But there were some people who did not believe that Mr. Porter was assistant and this office having received a number of inquires, in regard to the matter addressed a letter to the department asking them to inform us who had been appointed assistant postmaster at Plymouth to succeed Clarence M. Slayter. The above reply has been received. This will be sad news to the many friends of Mr. Porter, but Mr. Corbaley is Mr. Yockey's son-in-law, and it was no doubt deemed best to have the important positions all in the family. Waves High Honors. Judge Taft is willing to make a personal sacrifice and remain as governor of the Phillippine Islands, although the president offers him a seat upon the supreme bench, which is, of course, the ambition of every lawyer. He has just now the most important post of responsibility under the entire government, except the presidency, and there is perhaps no man in the country who is better qualified to undertake the duty than he. When he was at home last spring he declared that he was willing to remain in the Philippines as long as his services were needed there, and when some one suggested that his health might be permanently impaired by the climate he answered promptly that it was a secondary consideration. There may be other vacancies upon the supreme bench within the next few years which will afford the president an opportunity to recognize Judge Taft's services and compensate some for the sacrifice he is now making. Chief Justice Fuller will be 70 years old on Feb. 11. Justice Harlan will reach the same age on the 1st of June. They will then be entitled to retirement, although they cannot be compelled to retire, and both of them are in vigorous health. Ex-Secretary Day has not yet been appointed to succeed Justice Shiras, but probably will be as soon as Justice Shiras retires. Russia's Big Expenditures. The estimates of the Russian government for the ensuing year include an ordinary expenditure of $940,202,614 and an extraordinary expenditure of $95,631,121, or a total of $1,035,833,735. This sum is larger than the national debt of the United States and calls for a larger revenue than is raised by any other country of the world. England, under stress of the Boer war, has increased her annual expenditures to about nine hundred millions, but the situation is abnormal, and before the war the amount was considerably under six hundred millions. France requires something like seven hundred millions annually, and including postoffice expenditures and interest payments the United States has approximated that figure. Germany 's account is less than six hundred millions.

J ! A Southerner on Solidity. Emory Speer, jud;e of the district court of the southern district of Georgia, has been talking about the discrimination against negroes in his section, and he does not approve of it, though he is a democrat. What he recommends Is 'the enactment of Impartial laws for black and white alike, which will admit to the franchise the intelligent, the upright and the responsible of both races, and exclude the venal, the ignorant and the worthless." As Judge Speer is a man of observation and high standing in his community, bis views may possibly represent the opinion of a considerable body of the South 's thoughtful people. N His views are the correct views. There should be no discrimination 'at the polls on the color line. An educational qualification or any other restriction which would apply to both races alike, and which would shut out the ignorant, the immoral and the shiftless, would be agreeable to the people of the North. There are educational qualifications in somepf tne Northern states, and they apply to both races Indiscriminately. They were never Intended to operate against the blacks and shield the whites. Both races are hit by them where their members come under the restrictions provided by the statute. Such laws, or laws which would operate again?t all the defectives, regardless of color, are what the South should have. Globe Democrat. Smallpox in West Township. The Tribune stated Thursday, tbat Amzi Heminger of West township probably had smallpox and the health officer, Dr. Martin had gone out to investigate. Dr. Martin informs us tbat it is a case of genuine smallpox, but the patient is quarantined and is being well cared for. Mr. Heminger was married about four weeks ago and be and his bride spent three days in Indianapolis on their wedding tour. It is supposed that he contracted the disease at Indianapolis. Big Beet Sugar Factory. Contracts have been let by the Longmout Beet-sugar company for construction of a beet-sugar factory at Longmont, Col., that will cost $1,000,000. The plant will have a capacity of 1,200- tons daily, and is to be rady to grind beets Oct. 1, 1903. Denver promoters announce that money to build the factory is furnished .by n. O. Ha vemeyer and associates. II; II. Niese; of Jersey City, and J. F. Kliby, of Cleveland, are also interested. - No Women Rural Carriers. An order has f been issued by the postoffice department which prohibits women from becoming rural mail carriers. The order means that a number of ladies in Indiana, who took the recent examination will not be1 considered even though they make, the best grades. Iu all parts of the country where the rural mail service has been started, ladies were after the places and in some instances they were successful. -There are sevaral lady carriers in this state. The Smcetand Roberts Cases. ; The ' election ' of iieed Smoot as United States senator from Utah will present a very different problem from the one involved in the Roberts case. Roberts was a polygamist; and was prevented from taking his seat In the house on the ground that he was a lawbreaker." Smoot, it is said, is not a polygamist. The record will thow merely that he is a Mormon and an aptle of the Mormon church. If this is tte limit of the proof . against him it is clear . that the task of preventing him from taking his seat or of unseating him would encounter obstacles much more serious than any that Roberts could device. For the question raised would be whether a Mormon .'s barred by hl3. reli jica in stead cf; fby eceiel practices that are contrary to tie bs and ctc3 cf

The People Will AwaKen. Treasurer O'Keefe has just paid into the county treasurer $495.81 this sum being the interest on the daily balances on the public money, in his hands for the past six months. The amount turned in forthe year of 1902 is $1196.07. Mr. O'Keefe is the only treasurer in the state, so we are Informed, that turns this to the people where it belongs. Someday, perhaps the people will become awakened to their interests in matters so important as this when each and every treasurer In the state will be iequested to follow Mr. O'Keefe 's example. Argos Reflector. General Osterhaus. General Osterhaus, who was a Major General of Volunteers during the rebellion, now lives in Bonu, Germany, where he is reported to be well and happy in his eighty-first year." He was very popular with a large number of Indiana soldiers who served under him. A dispatch dated Bonn, Jan. 10, says: "The Commander of the garrison has issued orders that soldiers and minor offices must make front and stand at attention when the American general passes them on the street." Indianapolis Journal. Reasons For a Change. . It is said that one of the reasons for the change, in the rules of the state senate whereby passes for admission to

the floor are hard to get and good only for one day was the indiscriminate manner in which passes were given out by doorkeepers and other em ploy es two years ago. During the session of 1901 the senate frequently had an audience some of the members of which were not the most desirable that could be imagined. Such characters will have to take to the gallery this winter. No More Cheap Coal. The Indianapolis Journal puts a very plain fact in very plain" language when it says: "The days of very cheap coal, even when the supply is equal to demand, will not return so long as the miners are paid the present high wages. The coal in the bowels of the earth has little value until the miner gives it value by digging it. With the eight-hour day and an advance in wages of at least 50 per cent, the cost of getting coal to the surface is said by those who know to be -75 per cent more than it was in 1896. Many of us have been demand ing better wages for coal miners for years, and a large number of people are advocating the eight-hour dav - without seeming to realize that both these demands must mean a higher price to the consumer. Bills Killed Friday. In the state senate Friday the kil ling of the following bills' was recom mended: Providing life imprisonment for criminal assault, with the option of castration at the end of two years of the sentence (Lindley); giving trustees holding seminary property the right to relinquish it to public school corporations (Gibson); authorizing school trustees to borrow money beyond the constitutional debt limit (Powell); providing for taxation when mortgagee is a non-resident (Gochenour); for the appointment of county councilmen by the circuit judges (Parks.) . Had to Have His Cabbage. A.' E. Claudv, seventy-two years old, is dying of hiccoughs at his home in Frankfort, Ind.. He hiccoughed for a week before the .physicians were able to give him relief. Then he persisted in eating boiled cabbage, against the orders of the doctor, and the hiccoughing began again, and it is now thought that nothing can save his life. Opposed to Gambling, in Any Form. There are three things to which I object," says Governor Durbin. "One is a prize fight in any disguise. Another is slot machine gambling for money, and the other is any form of gambling into which boys may be inveigled.". The governor's idea on this' subject meets with general approval, judging from public . expression in all parts of the commonwealth, A Letter From Mrs. Gallagher. '". Plymomth, Ind. ; W. E. Bailey, , Gen. Agt.-Union Central Life Ins. Co. Dear Sir: We little realize how frail and uncertain Is life while we are in the enjoyment of good health. I feel the force of this important truth now as I am called upon to acknowledge receipt in full for $3000.00, the face of a Life Insurance Policy taken by my son John Gallagher in your company," August 1901. My boy was then in good health and had a brilliant future before him. but, "the summons came" and his cherished anticipations for a successful business life had to be abandoned. He left, however, an evidence of his business judgment, the policy of Life Insurance which your company so promptly settled. I want to thank you and the company for the uniform courtesy and the kindness shown my con and myself since our connection with it. It certainly merits the continued suc cess so pronounced In each year's a nual reports. Very truly,

TOO AWFUL TO PIT

Was the Matter with the Report of an Investigating Commission in (862. STARTLING EXPOSE IN THE HOUSE What the Probe Found in Retard to Contracts in General Fre- " raont'8 Department. J, .Washington, Jan. 17. An interesting controversy arose In the session of the house 5-esterday in connection with a bill to appropriate ?8,44G to pay the claim of B. F. Moody & Co., of Keokuk,' la., for balance due under a contract for the equipment of the Third Iowa cavalry during the civil war, and in the course of it some sensational chapters in the history of the alleged army contract frauds In StLouis were exploited. -Smith of Iowa was In charge of the bill. The original amount o the claim exceeded ?."0,000, but it was scaled down by the committee to ?S,44G. Smith contended that the cla?ai was Just, the contract having been executed undtr the authority of General John C. Fremont through his agent, General Cyrus F.ussey. Opposed hj an low Man. Hedge of Iowa, Smith's colleague, denounced the claim with a vigor which attracted the attention of theentire house. He impeached it first on the ground that it had been allowed to slumber for thirty years without being presented to congress, and then proceeded to point out that it had Its origin in the action of the famous commission consisting of David Davis, Hugh Campbell and Joseph Holt which unearthed the alleged frauds la General Fremont's department of St. Louis in 1SG2. Report That TTaa Too Bad to Print. He declared that the commission had scaled millions upon millions off army, contracts, one of which was that of Moody & Co., and that General Fremont had been superseded because of the intolerable conditions that were found to exist "The report of that committee." said he, "was never printed bticaM'i Lincoln believed that its revelations would make the peopledespair. "I have that record here," said Smith, raising a'oft a package of papers musty and yellow with age. "But it was never printed," Insisted Hedge. "It would not have beenadvisable to print it" niTT CORROBORATES HEDGE Wa the Stenographer Tho Took Down That Ancient Testimony. x Then he called on Hitt, chairman of the committee on foreign affairs, whohad been an interested listener to the debate, to bear out his testimony, explaining that lütt had been the stenographer of the St Louis commission. The latter corroborated Hedge, saying that the report which Smith had displayed had been written by bis own hand. He told of the gigantic frauds unearthed in that investigation, and of the unwillingness of the authorities to permit the complete story to become public, owing to the disheartening effect It might produce on the people. Personally, he said, he did not remember the details of the particular claim of Moody & Co. Smith, in reply, while admitting that f the contract might have been technically without authority. Insisted that the claim was not fraudulent in law or In fact The house, however, voted the bill down GO to 70. . Among the bill passed was one to pay $5,6S3 to Mrs. Flora A. Darling for damages growing out of her arrest by the military authorities of New Orleans in 1864r while she was on a flag of truce boat under safe conduct Payne, the floor leader of the majority, led a strong fight against on omnibus resolution to refer to the court of claims ninety separate claims aggregating $400,000 for finding of fact under the provisions of the Lucker act. He contended that the resolution would remove the statute of limitation, which already barred many of these old claims. The claims were all for stores and supplies taken by the federal forces during the civil war. Payne conducted a filibuster, but he was overriden by friends of the measure, who comprised all the Democrats and half the Republicans. On a roll call on the adoption of the resolutions, however, a quorum failed, the vote standing 07 to 51, and the house at 4:43 p. m. adjourned without action on the bill. , Geu. Booth at Cleveland.
