The Only Republican Paperjn the County Plymouth, Ind.. March 19, 1903. Friends of Senator FalrbanKsdo not think he will be a candidate for, president in 1904, but believe he is putting his political affairs in shape for later contest. The French board of revenue has completed the census of China, showing it to have a population of 426,447,000. The numbers of inhabitants in Manchuria, Mongolia, Thibet and Turkestan were only estimated. The result of the first elections held under the Beal locil option law in Ohio is the driving out of business of 500 saloons in the state, and the temperance elements are preparing for a more aggressive campaign than they have ever waged. The democratic convention to nominate mayor and city officers in Chicago was held Monday and the republican campaign has just opened. The election will occur April 7. Three or four weeks is long enough for any municipal campaigr. In the veto of the laboratory bill Governor Durbln states astte result of an inquiry that trie officers of Purdue University would make arrangements to do the work required by the provisions of the pure-food and drug law should the state so desire. Tipton has one less paper than it had ten days ago. The Dispatch has been absorbed by The Times. Like a majority of counties in the state, Tipton county has more papers than can be adequately supported. The one thing admittedly needed in the newspaper domain is consolidation, absorption or elimination. South Bend Times. In accordance with the will of Jefferson Kearny Clark, who died in St. Louis four years ago, a handsome monument is to be erected in Bellefontaine cemetery, in that city, to perpetuate the fame of his father, Gen. William Clark, the northwestern pionetr. The monument will overlook theMisslssippi river at the point where Gen. Clark and Meriwether Lewis debarked from their celebrated exploring trip to the mouth of the Columbia river. "Pay roll Primaries" is the caption of the editorial of the Chicago Chronicle (democratic) respecting the primaries held under the auspices of the democratic committee on Saturday. It says the solid body of the democracy remained away from the primaries. There was a contest in one ward over an aidermanic nomination, where, the Chronicle alleges, 135,000 was expended in buying votes, paying 2S high as $15 for some of them. It seems that both parties in Indianapolis have machines that have decided to select candidates for city officers seven months before the election, r.f ter a notice of only a few days which gives the people no chance to have a voice in the nominations. All the newspapers of Indianapolis are protesting in vain against such proceedings, but if the people find- that none of the candidates suit them they will have plenty of time six months from now to place a better ticket in the field and elect them on the day of election. The Danville Republican, discoursing on the changes in the local papers during the years the .present proprietor has been in charge, says, among other things, that the local paper depeüsed largely upon county printing for its support a dozen years ago, That is no more, and those publishers who have succeeded have done so by turning to business and making better papers for their patrons. The change has proved satisfactory. Among other things it has given the paper a freedom to criticise, If necessary. The paper that lives on party patronage is of little use to anybody. Charges have recently been filed against certain employes of the general postoffice department of official crookedness in connection with the operations of get-rich quick concerns. It is alleged that certain employes in the law office of the department have profited by rulings which have been made in favor of the companies. Many republic and some democratic papers arc. declaring before any investigation has been made that these charges ire without any foundation because thvi officials whom they affect bave been in office many years. While we hope the charges are not true the fact that a man has been in office thirty or forty years Is no proof of the contrary, bur civil service la W3 which zxz intended to keep men In ocs for life invito fraud.

Owing to American demand for German money the impression prevails in Beriin that speculation in the United States has been overdone and that credits have been unduly expanded.

The president is going to Chicago and he's going to talk about the trusts. This would seem to indicate that there are some trusts left in spite of the bills that were drafted last fall.The Panama Canal treaty was ratified by the senate with only five negative votes, and the senators can now take a vacation until December if the president does not call an extra session of congress. Congressman De Armond believes that time and events will point out a man to lead the democrats In 1904. Still, the national committee will keep a keen eye open for available timber while wandering around political forests. Chicago politics are supposed to be about as bad as can be found anywhere, but the politicians there do not dare to defy the' will of the people by nominating candidates seven months before an election, and without giving the people notice of their intentions. The struggle in Chicago from now until the election in April will be watched with more than ordinary interest by people in other cities. It may show them that a unanimous nomination obtained by seizing local committees and using city employes as workers is the most certain method of insuring defeat on election day. New York is considering an increase its liquor license fee from $800 to $1,200, and it is to be hoped that the proposed change will be made. Indiana might well turn her thoughts in the same direction, as this is practical temperance legislation. The higher the license the fewer saloons there will be and the more easily will they come within the limit of thorough police supervision. Levees are breaking and the deluge Is now on in the south. Surely the engineers in their wisdom should be able to deyise a means that will prevent ihis recurring destruction of property, loss of life and general wreck of aflaiisin the afflicted districts. The great rivers are good servants but had masters. They must be controlled, - and the people of all parts of the country turn their eyes toward the Mississippi river commission and congress with the expectatation that effective steps will be taken to better existing conditions before the next season of flood. Senator Depew recently read a caiefully prepared speech in favor of ratification of the Panama treaty. He took part in the debate, it appears, as a railroad man rather than as a senator to assure the country that the railroad interests are not opposed to a transistbmian canal, as has been so often alleged, but are in favor of it as calculated to stimulate all kinds of business, the railroads- sharing, of course, in the great-increase of traffic No doubt the roads will be more benefited than injured by the canal, but whether their managers generally agree with Mr. Depew in this respect is not so certain. Was St. Patrick i Baptist? A Jersey City clergyman stated a few days ago that in bis next Sunday 's sermon latt Sunday he would prove that St. Patrick was a Baptist. As the report of bis sermon is not received, his line of argument cannot be stated. But if he has proved that St. Partick was a Baptist there would still be doubt as to what kind of a Baptist he was Regular, Six Principle, Free Will, Seventh Iay, General, Separate, Primitive or Old Two-Seed-in-the-Spirit Predestlnarian. Andrew Johnson His Tailor. John Harvey Wilson, a pioneer, has celebrated his 9 2d birthday at Sullivan, Ind. He has resided in that region over 70 years. He assisted in laying out the present city of Sullivan and taught school in the first schoolhouse erected in the county. He cast his first yote for Jackson in 1832 and has voted for every democratic candidate since that time. He served as sheriff and was a member of the legislature in the forties. Mr. Wilson has been a Mason and member of the Presbyterian church for 50 years. . He is a native of Greenville, Tenn. ' Andrew Johnson, who later was president, was a poor tailor at that place. He made for Mr. Wilson his first suit of clothes which was presented to Mr. Wilson by his t father on his reaching his majority. New York Times. Fee Bills Aust Issue for Costs. The provision of a new law passed by the Indiana legislature and which is in force makes its obligatory on he part of the county clerk and sheriff to collect all costs from litigants. In case the costs in suits are not paid the provision referred to make it obligatory on the part of the clerk and sheriff to fccue fee bills which involve adt

The Problem of the Mississippi. The Mississippi River is one of America's great problems. Upon levtes and bank protection alone the go eminent and the states have spent over $50,000,000, and the terror of the Hoods is as great as ever. From Missouri to Louisiana men are now on guard day and night to protect their homes, and in one at least of the states it has been necessary to release the convicts and put them at. work on the leyees. It is the great drainage area of the Mississippi combined with the character of the soil through which it flows that makes it so troublesome. There are four large and well-defined drainage systems, stretching from the Rockies to the Alleghanies, that find their outlet through it. Any one of them can flood the lower river at freshet time. Two or three combined bring ruin. The silt forever drifting down from the mountains tills the bed of the stream, and as the bed rises the levees must rise with it. New high water marks are made, and the pressure of the floods becomes great and greater. What shall be done for the river to replace the hopeless levee system? Forestry reserves in the mountains, impounding dams at the headwaters, great reservoirs in the St. Francis basin in Missouri and Arkansas to hold the overflow, ail have been suggested. Efforts to develop a complete system of control are, however, yet to come. It has been truly said that the man who masters the Mississippi will be one of the great benefactors of his country. Times nerald. This is all Right. William Jennings Bryan delivered his lecture on "A Conquering Nation" to a large, appreciative and delighted audience in the College Auditorium at Valparaiso on Thursday evening. He was introduced by H. B. Brown, president of the Valparaiso Normal school a democrat, by the way, who refused to support Mr. Bryan for the presidency in 1896 and 1900. The distinguished orator started out by showing the value of an ideal and its power to alter for better the course of a human life. He said that a nation, like an individual, should have high and ennobling ideals and that a nation which aimed at the highest good need not ever pass away. He thought that honor and integrity anrl love of one's neighbor constituted the measure of greatness in an Individual. The same rule, be said, should hold good in regard to a nation. These views are eminently sound and merit general approval. South Bend Times. Vetoed Thirty-Eight Bills.' Governor Durbin has finished bis part of the work of the legislature and has gone to Anderson for a short rest. He signed 248 bills and vetoed thirty-eight. The copy for the acts of 1903 is now being rnshed to the state printer by Frank I. Grubbs, Deputy Secretary of State, and will probablv be ready for publication about the last of May or the first of June. The acts of 1901 contained 266 bills, but the acts this time will be almost as voluminous. The governor signed Senator Parks 's bill, providing that county commissioners shall make an allowance of 30 cents a day for care of dependent children who are sent to orphans' homes. Representative Branch's bill, authorizing the school board of Martinsville to issue bonds not to exceed $20,000, was vetoed, but afterward it was recalled and signed. , New Kiflr for the Militia, Under the law recently passed by congress the militia of the state of Indiana will soon be carrying the famous Krag-Jorensen rifles of the regular army, says the Logansport Journal. They were the "implements which Old so humanely effective killing during the recent unpleasantness with Spain. Besides the regular load used by the regulars there will be added to the militia equipment a novel load, in the riot bullet, designed for purpose of suppressing riots only. The regular charge kills at three miles, but this special one one will kill at no more than two hundred yards. -The object of this is'to render fighting mobs less dangerous to innocent onlookers from spent balls. The cartridge also has two buckshot in it instead of the single bullet.

Cost of the Legislature, The legislature of 1903 was less expensive than that of two years ago. Two years ago there was a total appropriation of $115,000, and that amount fell about $2,500 short. Again this session the appropriation , was $115,000, to which $6,000 was added, a few days ago. The speaker announced, however, that only $3,406.40 of the extra $6,000 was used and that about $2,500 of this will be for the deficit of the last session, leaving a real deficit over the $115,000 appropriation of this year for this session of only , about $900. Expense of 1901 session $117,500. Expense of 1903 session, $115,006.40. Is your tongue coated? Are you nervous and weak? Have you a sick headache? Do you bloat after eating?

MARRIED

Unger-Rhoads. At the home of the bride's parents in "West township, Tuesday, March 17, 1903, at high noon, Mr. Sylvester Unger and Miss Katurah S. Rhoads wereunited in marriage by Rev. A. P. DeLong pastor of the First M. E. church of Plymouth. It was a very pretty wedding. The march was played upon the violin by Miss Edna Wellman, of Pentwater, Mich., a niece of the bride, accompanied on the organ by Miss Madge Rhoads. Under a canopy of lace and smilax the impressive words were spoken while the beautiful song, Oh! Promise Me!" was rendered by Miss Wellman. In honor of St. Patrick's day the decorations were in green and white, the table favors being shamrocks. About thirty relatives and friends sat down to a splendid dinner after congratulations and good wishes. The bride Is one of Marshall county's best teachers and is known throughout the county as a lady in the truest sense of that word. Mr. Unger is one of Polk township's intelligent young farmers, and is worthy of the bride he has won. The happy couple will go to housekeeping on a farm near Walkerton. An Ominous Name. Gov. Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, is in trouble, or he is in making trouble for the state.' A committee from the legislature has been appointed to investigate his conduct. The specific charges against the governor have been made public. Somehow the name of Jeff Davis Is the synonym of disorder and disaster by whomsoever it has been borne. It has made trouble for the country, for communities and for individuals. The chief disunionist bore it, a brave union general blotted nis reputation by killing a commander, and now the governor of Arkansas is in a condition of decided unrest. What's in a name? South Bend Tribune. Calls Shively a Demagogue, Editor J. B. Stoll of the South Bend Times and his fellow townsman and brother democrat, B. F. Shively, must have had a serious falling out, Mr. Stoll in writing to the Indianapolis News on Tom Taggart's recent interview says: Mr. Taggart's reference to two arrant demagogues, one from Indiana and the other from Wisconsin, In connection with the vice presidential nomination, attests anew that Franke B. . Burke knew what he was talking about when he said that as a "jollier" the ex-mayor of Indianapolis bad attained perfection. Nappanee Advance. Needs a Course in Spelling. A Texas lady who aspires to the position of Instructor in penmanship and drawing in the South Bend schools says in her formal application. "Can teach any style of penmanship you desire. And will refur you to Prof. L. M. Kelchner and Pres J. B. Dillie who will give you account of my ability. Shall be pleased to hear from you at Your earliest convienance." The lady says she is a college graduate, but she evidently needs a course in spelling, punctuation and composition. Gas Plant Sold. The Porland Me., syndicate which has for years owned the Michigan City gas plant, has sold the same to the Dawes syndicate of Chicago, which owns the Hammond gas plant.
