William E. Curtis says: S ew York democrats are united on Alton B. Parker as presidential candidate and are actively booming him. Secretary Hay has negotiated and signed more importanttreaties than any one of his predecessors, and they axe all favorable to the United States. The tenacity with which' the Venezuelans defend their forts proves that an attempt to subjugate them on land would be a big and difficult undertaking. China finds the United States standing alone when it come to friendly offices. Uncle Sam , is not among those who are willing to push the old empire to the wall in a financial settlement. Matt. Quay is not so certain of securing success for his omnibus bill as he appeared to be last week. Iiis fon.es are dwindling away. The opposition to the admission of, Arizona and 'ew Mexico is very pronounced. A payment of $40,000,000 to Frenchmen and of $10,000,000 to Colombia for Panama canal rights will . just about absorb this year's treasury surplus. Lvcky is the country that can finance such a big enterprise without going into debt.. Judge William K. Day, of Canton, Ohio, .has accepted the position of the supreme court of the United States tendered him by President Roosevelt. His appointment is of course subject to ratification by the United States senate, but of, that there is no doubt. ' ' The postoffice appropriation bill, as reported, carries $12,519.300 Jor rural free delivery next year, an increase of $5,080,900 over this year. This in crease will enable the department to carry out its plan practically to cover Indiana by August 1, 1Ö04, the end of the next fiscal year. Some of the greatest men in the American world of finance never became members of a stock exchange. J. Pierpont Morgan, John I). Rockefeller, James R, Keene, John W. Gates ana others are concerned in vast Wall ctreet operations but not one of those mentioned is a member of the stock exchange there. . When the Indiana legislature met republican leaders said very few new laws should be passed.. But all the members want to show their constituents that they are big men ahdiboth houses are flooded witn. bills'. Many of these will be killed in committee, but several useless -Jblils will , get through. Democrats. and republicans are however working together more harmoniously than , in any previous legislature. Prof. Albert P. Matthews,, who, some time ago, stirred up a good deal of comment by saying that under certain conditions, and in limited quantities alcohol was valuable as a food, has sow started more trouble by the assertion that the body of everyone, whether he drinks liquor or not, contains alcohol. If this is true it is probable that most men should be satisfied with the alcohol which nature furnishes without pouring much more into the system. Announcements in various parts of the country Indicate that there isa general moyemeht among farmers to form a general union, which, like other unions, is designed to look after the special interests of those who till, the soil. Organizations of farmers, except the Patrons of Husbandry, have been short lived because they were captured by a class of men who gave them a political bias, making them the champions of . impossible schemes. They rose rapidly, , controlling many rotes la. the tgrete, bat yanlshed as quickly an they grew. Indianapolis Journii; : t ' The appointment of Judge William B. Day, of Ohio, as asociate justice of the fclpreme court, to kcjkjs Justice Sbiras, retired, will, be approved by the leal, profession and the people geuerally. Judge. Day entered national politics under the patrone of President McKinley. In 1839 he was offered the position of JudS cf the United States district court for ths northern district of Ohio, bat declined it on account cf poor health. In 1837 he was appointed assistant cccrctary of state under Jehu Sherman, and in April, 1888, he became secretary. lib cervices in that oce and latir chairman of the "peace ccmmiccicn ct Foris vrerc universally rcccjnizcd, lie Lj in hb Cfty-fifth jzu cz3 vrill cd crcclleztju-c.

'5 ' - fcxoct status of the Venezuelan controversy better than anybody else, and bis statement that he has good reason to believe a satisfactory settlement will soon be reached is doubtless well founded. The Michigan legislature has passed a bill against anarchism and tbe spread of its doctrines. It proposes a fiue of $5,000 and imprisonment for teaching by word or printed line the doctrines of anarchism, and imposes a fine of $2 000 upon any janitor or tenant who allows the use of a room or the promulgation of those doc trines. V . As compajed with the ocean route around Cape Horn the Panama canal will reduce the distance from New York to San Francisco 7,800 miles, to Valparaiso 4,900 milesrto Honolulu 6,500 miles and to Melbourne, Australia 2,800 miles". Ths will give the United States an immense advantage over foreign competitors for the trade of the west coast of South America and the Pacific islands. Indiana has long occupied a pre-eminent position in the senate. It has been the state's good fortune to be represented uninterruptedly by men of capacity. One of her democratic senators was vice president, and a republican senator was elected president of the United States. All of them have been factors in the Nation's affairs. Indiana's prestige is now being creditably majntained. The Germans made a big mistake when they fired on the Venezuelan fort, no matter ' whether they" did, right or wrong according to the laws of nations. Tne fact that they bombarded an Insignificant fort for several hours and did not knock it to pieces is very humiliating to a government that aspires to be a great power. It was a display of imperfect gunnery which Germany could not well afford. . The customs congress of American republics is right in urging a series of reciprocity arrangements between the various countries of the continent. This was an idea .which received a great deal of attention from Henry Clay. It was one of James G. Blaine's projects. , Neither statesman accomplished much in a practicalQway, although each made a beginning in his work. There is a chance here for some wise statesmanship on the part of congress in Washington. Manifestly howtvr, this is altogether too vast a question to be dealt with in the short time remaining of the life of the present congress. - Circuit Court Items. Nancy A. Thomas vs Wesley Thomas.

William O'Keefe gives the folly reason why this bill should pass. 1st. The Interest does not belong to the treasurer. 2nd. The statute is plain and states just what the treasurer shall receive. , . -. , '. , 3rd. The salary given the treasurer is Unstipulated sum he Is to receive to perform the duties and assume the responsibilities of the office. s V 4th. . If the treasurer was.to have the interest on the public funds there would be an incentive to encourage heavy levies, so as to have" large, balances on hand upon which to receive interest. - 5th, Money belonging to the county should be deposited in the name of the county, as it belongs to the county, and also because it would prevent banks from loaning back to the county their own money, as is sometimes done at the present time; and in such cases the county receives no interest on the money which was deposited. 6th. It will reduce the liability, both to the county and to the treas urer. 7th, It will lower the cost of bond to the treasurer. 8th. It will make it easier for a treasurer to give a bond, while at the present time security companies will not bond a man for county treasurer who is not worth $10,000. 9th. It will preveut defalcation by the treasurers. 10th. Part of the public money in the county treasurer's hands is unloaned school fund money, upon which the county must pay the state interest at the rate of six per cent, while the treasurer, draws interest on the samel St. Joseph county has about $50,000 of unloaned school fund money on hand. ; 11th. It is not safe for the county treasurer tq have public money mixed up with bis private account. 12th. If the treasurer is to have the interest then his salary . is , not governed by the work he has on hand.' The greater the fund on hand the higher his salary will be. " ' Hon. Judge Howard a former judge of the supreme court indorses senate bills Nc. 47. Speaking of the bill the following is in part what he says: South Bend, Ind. Jan. 4, 1903. Mr. William O'Keefe, Co. Treas., Plymouth, Ind. . Dear Sir: I have read the bill introduced into the legislature to require state and county treasurers to deposit public funds in their bands in banks and collect Interest on dally balances of the same. , : ' It strikes me that as the money belongs to the public, the public ought to have any interest paid on the funds. But it is not only the right of the people to have this interest that makes it - desirable that such a bill should become a law. The safety of the principal would thereby be better secured; 'as the deposits would have the double security of treasurer's bond and bank bond. : i ; '." -' : Then it Is to the advantage of the treasurer himself. He should not. be subjected, as now, to (he. temptations of risking the public" money in unsafe investments and, so very often, rulniDg himself at the. same timehat be causes loss to the public The bill should, of course, be carefully Scrutinized to see that it is id all respects legal in form and drawn so as to secure the utmost safety of the pub. lie fund. But the principle of the bill is evidently most sound and the movement is in one of the best interests of good, honest govern ment. -. , Very Truly Yours, f T. E. Howard. HelookiLiXe Roosevelt. For several days a gentleman has been seeh on the streets of Washington who resembles President Roosevelt very closely. He Is not quite so tall and not quite so broad, but has the same impetuous stride, holds bis bead in a similar position; has hair of the same color, a similar mustache, prominent upper teeth, and a pair of glasses are perched on the bridge of bis nose. Äs he passes down the street people . nudge each other and say: "There goes the President. " Over in the War Department the other morning the doorkeepers and messengers arose and stood respectfully at "attention" when he walked along the corridor, but when he was pointed out to a southern member of congress, the latter looked at him curiously , for a moment and remarked: - "If that's Teddy, he'sshrinkin'." The stranger proved to be Colonel Webb Hayes of Cleveland,' the eldest son of the late President Hayes, who, like the president j was a volunteer in' the Span ish war, and not only did gallant service In-Cuba, . but teepmpsnied General Chaffee to China and participated in the raids talnsli the Boxers. , ; Fc--J Dtid. ; r Joseph Bussift," one of the old residents of Kixlnkuckee," was found dead In' a lot at his heme in Culver about 4 o'clock "Monday "afternoon. He had been away from the house only a short time and seemed to naye dropped dead of heart disesse. He vrss about 65 years old and leaves a widow, four son3 and three daughters..

too Much Prower in. One Man. - r - t:y. iv " t ,;v ' '' - The action of the; secretary of the treasury In tailing upon the banks to replace their deposits of State and municipal bonds with government bonds may be, and probably is, a wise and conservative move, but it is proof positive that our financial system gives too much power to one man. ' Last autumn in the stress of "cropmoving,", and when money became very scarce, Secretary Shaw did all in his power to relieve the situation, and to induce the banks to take out more circulation on government bonds, permitting them to substitute state or municipal bonds as security for the govern men t ' deposits, This policy occasioned much discussion and some criticism of the secretary, but the country settled down to the opinion that it was all right, particularly as it was actuated by the best of motives that of relieving a very great money stringency. The plan was successful and the danger of a money panic was averted, but there were those who foresaw that a secretary .who could step in and control the money circulation of the coun

try, and keep bis hand on the throttle that let on or cut off the supply of money at his own sweet will, possessed entirely too much power. And yet that is the pow er the secretary holds, and while Mr. Shaw has exercised it most beneficially for the interests of the country, it requires no vigorous imagination to understand that another secretary could exercise it solely for the aggrandisement of himr self and ftiends. Chicago Journal. The Panama Route is Settled. The signing of the treaty with Colombia'io respect to the Panama canal gives assurance that the great enterprise is now a fixed fact. It was but natural that the poorer republic should do some bargaining and endeavor to make as much out of the transaction as possible, and it is proper that the United States should deal liberally with it, but there was probably never a moment when the Colombian government did not Intend that the, ne gotiations should end favorably to the canal. It could not afford to let the oppor tunity go by, for unless the United States built it the canal at Panama would be impossible. With the canal there, and the enormous sums of money that will be expended in its construction, and' afterward in its maintenance and administration, an impetus will be given to Colombian prosperity such as that country has never known. It will offer, fields ot enterprise of which the world will not be slow in taking advantage. ..t . The details of the treaty are not yet made known, but their geneaal scope is well understood. " Whether tbft senate will ratify it at this session or not is of no great moment. Perhaps it might be better to awaitk the action of the Colombian congress. -- President Roosevelt can convene the senate at any time, and it might not be a bad idea to wait until after the 4th of 31 arch and then call the senate for the express purpose of disposing of this and ot the reciprocity treaties. ' '. ' - V Old Soldiers Still i Power ' , That the "veterans of the war for the; Union are yet a power ' In the land the membershlp of the legislature attests. The following named senators were. Union soldiers: Benjamin Starri J. M. Barlow,' A. M. Burns, S. D. Coats, Daniel L. Crumpacker, Oliver P. Gard," Joseph S. Conlogue, Joseph C. Gocbenhour, John C. Lawler, James T. Layman, Thomas J.

Young women who haye theatrical aspirations little dream of the viciesltudes they1 rsay' haye to encouhter in stage life. There is the case of Julia Martin, for instance, the New York chom3glrl who 13 now suffering from blood poisoning as a result of being bitten by the stage pig, whcee tail it was her part to tweak at a certain crlticial point in the play so that be might squeal at the right time. He did squeal, but he also turned and attached his tormentor; thu3 exceeding hi3 role. The modern drama at times becomes truly dramatic.

4 : Revision bl Corporation Law. The " present 'legislature ought to

provide "for the codification and revision of the laws of the state relating to corporations. By this is meant the laws relating to county and township business, highways gravel roads, street improvements, insurance in short, those relating to all municipal, public and prlyate corporations. There has been no (general revision of the laws of the state since 1881,' and that was incomplete.. A commission appointed under an act of the legislature of 1879. consisting of James S. Fräser, John A. Stotsenberg and David Turpie, reported tö the General Assembly of 1881 sixty-seven bills, of which thirty-two passed, two were defeated and thirty-three failed in the senate for want of time to act upon them.'vThe failure of these bills to pass necessitated a new compilation, and the board was continued for that purpose; Its final report was not satisfactory to the board Itself. Tbere has been no authorized revision of the laws since that time, and in toe interval many new ones have been enacted. A general revision of all the laws is desirable, but at present it is proposed to revise and codify only those relatlug to corporations. According to the testimony of lawyers these are inharmonious and quite unsuited to present conditions. This is so far true that some Important corporations doing business in Indiana have, found it advisable to organize under the laws of other states, and this state is constantly a large loser in fees on this account. Indianapolis Journal. ' How Cecil Rhodes furnished a Home. On the occasion of his last Tisit to England he purchased an estate at Newmarket, which he declared was the one spot in all the world that suited his health best. Finding himself in possession of an immense unf urnishec mansion, he telephoned, at 9 o'clock one morning to the largest furniture establishment in London, asking that a representative be sent to his hotel to see him at once. The request was " immediately complied with, and on the arrival of the mana ger he said: "Mr. Williams' I have a house at Newmarket containing twentv-seven bed rooms, drawing rooms, dining room, study, .library, etc. Have it furnished forme in three deys with everything complete. Good day." That night twenty-four vans left London fall of furniture, followed in due course by others, and in three days there was not a necessary article missing from the establishment. New York Mall and Express. Climb Ladders for a Salary. . , The decision-of the immigration commissioner to appoint four ; women inspectors whose duty it shall be to board incoming steamships before their arrival in port in order to inspect the passengers, has .caused considerable comment in New York. . Even Commissioner Sargent was in doubt as to whether women could be found to accept the positions, .inasmuch as the duties would involve climbing a long ladder from a cutter to a steamship with both vessels in motion. 'His doubts, have been removed, however, by a host of applicants, women of ail kinds expressing their willingness to undertake the work, ladder climbing and all. Men are slow to learn that women are not more - reluctant than themselves to do service for their country when there is' a salary ati . tached. . - Sherlock Hoimej. William Gillette, the celebrated American actor-author, . is playing a farewell engagement, in "Sherlock Holmes" at Powers' Theatre, Chicago. The engagement, which includes a Saturday matinee only, to terminate on Feb. 7tb, and Mr. . Gillette will not play another city within a radius of five hundred miles of Chicago, nor will he ever again Jbe seen in this remarkable drama. No play written in the last decade has created such a; ' tremendous, sensation in theatrical circles as Mr. Gillette's dramatization of the series of ."Sherlock Holmes" stories written by Conan Doyle. It was produced four years ago at the Garrlck Theatre, New York, and ran for the entire year. The following year was "spent in,., playing the larger cities in this country, and'läst year Charles t ;Frbh-: man; sent Mr. 'Gillette to Sir Henry Irving s Lyceum Theat re, ' ftö&n,' for an engagement whrch was ibriginallf Intended to last: twelve Weeks.'
