British statesmen have discovered that Irish complaints about absentee owners of the soil are reasonable. Tbt man who tills the land ought to have a living chance to own a farm some öay Admiral Dewey had fifty-four warships in the Caribbean when the European allies were shooting at Venezuela. Now the world knows what Uncle Sam means by a ''Christmas itinerary" in the navy department. Cuba has acceptod the amended jecinrocity treaty, and now if President Roosevelt calls a special session of congress, and the house of representatives accepts the treaty, we shall have one. The Panama canal will cost $130,000,000, and according to plans will be finished in 1920. It is one of the United States greatest projects, other lirge undertakings hinge oc the success of this project. The work is to begin next year. Locomotives propelled by electricity drawn from the air without cost, and ocean liners racing over the sea by tbe agency of the electric current drawn inexpensively from the same source, are promised for tbe near future by Tesla. It Is to be done on the principle of wireless telegraphy. If reports are true, President Roosevelt's address in Chicago next Thursday night will be one of the chief features of his western tour. It is announced that he will speak on the trust question, and that the address will represent the president's views on the question of regulating corporate combinations. "Every man in the United States navy," ays Admiral Dewey, "is a man of intelligence. He knows just what to do and the right time to do it." It is tbe habit of United .States warships to go straight at an enemy If there is a fighting chance, and it is a policy adding greatly to the strength of American fleets. ' A political machine is always iu a condition of unstable equilibrium, so to sar. - Men combined for action not on the basis of principle, but purely for personal interest, are not likely to haye any very definite sense of loyalty to one another. They are likely at 'any tfme to fall apart ahd to enter into new combinations if they see, or think ihiy see, that they can better their own chances". While diplomats contend about the true relations between' China andRussia one fact just out, settles the question effectually. Chinese government funds are to be kept In a Chinese Russian bank at Pekin and governed by Russian officials. Where the money lies tbe power sleeps. Lord Salisbury has been outplayed where he once was Lord Paramount. Russia has become dictator of the orient. Years ago "Ross" Shepherd was virtually driven from Washington by a storm of defamation and died In Mexico. Now the citizens of Wash ington have raised money by popular subscription to erect a fine monument to his memory and in a few days his remains will be brought back to tbe citv he made beautiful. There has seldom been so remarkable a reversal of public opinion.' Alexander Shepherd is now regarded as Washington's greatest benefactor. ; The Rockville Tribune says "Indiana grew, to greatness as a . democratic state. " Do wn In one of the eastern states where a man has to be able to read and write before he can vote, there was a very "close", county a few years ago. and when the democratic committee canvassed that county they found fifty democrats who could not read. Thev decided to employ a teacher and teach these men to read,before the election. They did so, but when the men Teamed to read they . voted the republican ticket. It is just so with Indiana, as soon as' it became great it became a republican state. Joel P. Heatwcle, who started a paper at MIddlebdry, Elkhart county, and made it a succec3 when t!:ere vras not a railroad station within tea miles of the town, has tsea for eiht years a congressman from Uinnccota and is now spoken of &3 a candidate for vicepresident.

Let the Investigation of the post

office department be thorough. No "pull" or "influence" should be sufficient to protect a rascal. ... . Secretary of the Treasury Shaw In his speech at Peoria Tuesday evening said that combinations of capital are necessary but they should be carefullv controlled. Senator Allison is reported as declaring that all the leaders believe that the president should convene congress in extra session early in November, if not in October. The only way to keep a united and strong republican party in the country, and particularly In cities, is to maintain a primary system safe against fraud and so open that all party men can vote for candidates. Indianapolis Journal. In decidiDg to call a special session of congress to ratify the Cuban treaty within the time limit tbe president has shown that he does not believe In letting Important measures fail through inaction. As the session will ntbe called until next November it will not interfere materially with any congressman's summer vacation. Europe is buying Cuban sugar for the first time in twenty-tive years. This is because of the small crop in the old world. Europe's main reliance is on beet sugar, but the production last year was unequal to the demand. It is an ill wind that blows nobody good, and Cuban cane sugar growers are profiting accordingly. . Reports from Chicago as to who will be elected mayor are somewhat mixed. The republican campaign managers claim Stewart's election by 30,000 plurality, while the friends of Harrison are confident of a majority anywhere from ,000 to 50,000. The Labor party also professes confidence in the election of its candidate, Daniel L. Cruice. According to the new "directory of directors," which gives lists of the boards of all the prominent corporations in the United States, Senator Depew is a director in more companies than any other man in the country. He serves on sixty-seven boards ot directors, including railways, banks, trnst companies, manufactories and other institutions. Wüliam K. Vanderbilt comes second, being a member of fifty-three. ' If Secretary .Wilson, of the, coal miners' association, is correct, the miners will receive 835,000,000 more money this year than last. The bituminous miners will receive $19,437,000 in wages during the year which begins- today over the amount received last year. It is safe to say that such an advance of wages has never been beard of In one industry. It ought to insure peace and even freedom from rumors of .contentions. The opportunities of a successful life of every young man must be made and not waited for. Time idled can never be used again. . The boy, who is idle and careless about his work, will never be a successful man. Our most successful men were boys at one time with only the opportunities cf the average boy. They looked into the future and saw that it required pluck and energy to be successful In life. The opportunities for the success of your life is today and not tomorrow. Improve every moment and do not wait for tbe opportunity. Now comes an 'English historical authority who says that Sir Walter Raleigh never crossed the Atlantic, and, of course, never set foot in North Carolina, though be sent two ships to spy out the land. If he never crossed the - ocean what is to become of the theory that he introduced tobacco into Europe? The next tnmg we know we may be asked to doubt the fine old story that he spread bis costly mantle ;In the mud before Queen Elizabeth for her to step on. Some people have no regard for the truth of history. The Idea that men who . write history when It is 300 or 500 years, old, know , more about it than the living actors, is worse than nonsense. ' Sst Down cn a Caby. A special to the Indianapolis News says Editor Gould, of the Kewanna Herald, boarded a train for Logansport a few days ago and saw what he thought tc be a vacant seat, He sat down in abstraction, but arose la distraction. He bad been sitting on a baby, which began to cry, while the mother with a shries:, broke her umbrella over his head. " ' The editor is married and knows a baby when he sees one, so he soon soothed the infant and calmed the mother. It Is said that Mr. Gould induced the woman to subscribe for his newspaper before he left the train.. . '.

. .'lcr.(from .Naples;.. James Mi Confer, writing from the United States; flag ship, Chicago, at Naples,' March 15, says: I visited tbe museum where all the valuable things taken out of Pompeii are kept. The place is run by the government, but it costs a franc to get in. Still it is worth that and a great deal more to see all the things they have there. There are a great many fine statues, all very well preserved, but on most of them you can see where a limb cr the head has been broken off and stuck on again. I saw a full set of doctor's tools which were used when Pompeii flourished. I tell you they did not look like the bright set you probably own. I guess you would laugh if you could see them. , The armour and weapons were very badly used up. The swords, most of them, were all rusted and almost falling apart. The armour was better preerved, being made of copper, brass or bronze. I guess the jewelry was in a better state of preservation than anything there, but it had probably been polished up. There was some bread and fruit on exhibition, at least, the guide told us it was bread and fruit, it didn't look it. It looked more like the mud pies that you sometimes see little kids make. (Of course we never made mud pies.) It seems strange that the air did not fade the color in the pictures after they had een in an air tight place so long. Of course, some of the pictures were fj.ded and cracked, but many of them looked very well. These pictures were not painted on canvas, but upon the walls of the house In place of wall-paper; There were many fine paintings by the more modern artists, but they did not excite tbe interest like those which were nearly two thousand years old. After I left lhe museum I took a cab and drove to the old city of Pompeii. It takes nearly two hours to get. there by carriage. A train runs out about three times a day, but I missed the first and did not care to wait for the second. There is not much to see in the old city except the houses and temples, or rather what is left of them. The theatre is not very well preserved, but it gives one an idea of what kind of amusement they had in those days. There is one house which they have left just as it was found and fixed it up to look as near like a rich man's house, two thousand years ago, as possible. It looks .very well, but there is very little cemfort in'it, The streets of the city are paved, but are very uneven and none of the paving stones are of tbe same size. You can still see ruts worn by the chariot wheels and marks in the curb stones, where the hubs rubbed when they went around the corners. Most of tbe streets are so narrow that two chariots could not have passed each other. Vesuvius is making quite a row lately. During the day smoke is continually pouring out of the crater and at night great jets of flame shoot up into the air making everything look red for three or four minutes at a time. Sometimes streams of red-hot lava can be seen running down the mountain side.

Light and Fuel (or Plymouth. Dr. Reynolds and Joseph Anderson visited Geneseo, 111., to inspect a plant which manufactures gas for fuel and light on a new principle. This firm is located in Chicago and attention has been called to it several times during tbe winter. Dr. Reynolds and Mr. Anderson were very favorably impressed with tbe plant at Geneseo, and it is probable that the manufactures will present a proposition to the Plymouth city council to install a plant in this city. If the company is willing to take chances it will no doubt receive favorable consideration. . A plant that will furnish light ana heat for this city will probably cost from $30,000 to $50,000. When the company presents its proposition we shall have more to say about It. Cleveland and Roosevelt in Same Home. During their visit In St. Louis to attend the dedication of the world's fair President Roosevelt and ex-Presi-dent Cleveland will sleep' and eat at the same house. President D. R. Francis of the World's Fair company has made arrangements to entertain both the president and the ex-presl-dent at his handsome home at Newstead and Maryland avenues. Members of the cabinent will be entertained at the homes of William H. Thompson, treasurer of the fair, and ex-Governor E. O. Stanard, one of the directors. Senator Depew will be the guest of Corwin H. Spencer, vice-president of the exposition. C f.er.ry ter Viter.

Raiting the Bubonic Plague. The most welcome news that has come in connection with the bubonic plague is tbe announcement that the jovernment of tne Punjab province of India proposes to accomplish within the next six months the inoculation of 7,000,000 persons for protection against the plague, the only method yet discovered of insuring immunity from this disease. The superintendent of the laboratory at Bombay is to supply plague serum at the rate of 50,000 doses a day. The sorum is being supplied from England in 14,000 flasks, and will entail the manufacture of four huge sterilizers, costing $1,500 each, tbe planning of a new system of pipes and sinks for extra gas and water and churns. A very good idea of the prevalence of the disease in India, and the high mortality that accompanies it, may be formed from the fact in the third week of August there were 3,547 fatal

cases. England has now been com bating this disease for nearly six years, and no remedy attempted has proved successful except inoculation. By inoculating the whole- population the disease may be exterminated entirely, and one of the worst sources of its spread be removed. This is by odds the largest scientific health enterprise ever undertaken. Indianapolis Sentinel. Status of the Country Publisher. Here is a little old straight-from-the-shoulder talk about matters lying near to our heart. There seems to be a feeling among business men that a newspaper has no business to make money. Why not? It is the most exacting business in the world, the must trying in every way. It means long hours and the greatest care in its conduct. The newspaper has the entire publ c to deal with. It is criticised on all occasions. It has to deal "with all the cranks in the community, and to do this successfully requires judgment and patience. It has power, and that power, to the credit of journalism, is nearly always wielded for the public good. No question of vital concern to the home people fails to rind a strong support from the home newspiper aud this, too, without remunerati n. Tbe pub isher spends his mon ey to further these projects, and the community never gives a thought to the matter of cost to him. Newspa perdom. We're in Sugar rket Belt Prof. W iley, chief of the bureau of chemistry of the Department of Agri culture, insists that tbe double tier of iO-inties alonsrthe northern part of Indiana is in the beet susrar belt and that no better soil for sugar beets can be found anywhere than In that pait of the Hoosir State. In commentingr on Prof. Wiley's assertions the Colum bia City Post says that it may be that Prof. Wiley is right, but under present conditions Indiana farmers have not been able to prove that sugar beet growing is a profitable thing to follow! If there were factories within easy reach of Indiana farmers, it might be that the beets could., be produced with profit. They will grow here and the saccharine quality 1 good, but tbe great drawback has been to get them to market without too much expense. More Sense Needed. Not to be outdone by their brethren in politics the democrats of Iowa have an "idea. "and Itschtef apostle, Judge Van Wagenen, of Sioux City, prospec tive nominee for governor, will pro pose "government ownership of rail roads" as the slogan ot the next na tional campaign on the occasion ef tbe Jefferson day banquet at Des Moines. The recent experience of the New York democrats with its plank of government ownership and control of coal mines should be remembered by the Iowans. Less "Ideas" and more strong, resolute, sensible purposes would put the democratic party on a more solid basis for the next cam paign. South Bend Times. Ottered to Colonel Carlisle. Col. C. A. Carlisle, of South Bend, was offered the position of assistant secretary of the new cabinet department of commerce and labor, but he i refused it, because he could not afford to take it, in view of his business connections. Colonel Carlisle Is a member of Governor Durbin's staff. He is a ' big stock holder In the Studebaker wagon works and he married into the Studebaker family. He is vice-president for Indiana of the National, manufacturer's association. He Is now on bis way to New York city with . his wife. The place offered Col.

MORTUARY

G. E. McBroom. G. Elmer McBroom died at his home in Linkville, Friday, March 27, aged 34 years, 1 month and 29 days. During the last year he was unable to work. Last winter he prepared to meet his God. Rev. Linville baptized him. During the last weeks and days of his life Mr. McBroom found comfort in the word of God "To live is Christ, to die is gain." The funeral services took place Sunday afternoon from the Fairmount church, on the Michigan road, Rev. Martin L. Peter officiating. Many relatives and friends were present. The church was too small to accommodate the large crowd. The deceased leaves a wife, a little child, a mother and numerous relatives and friends to mourn his departure. P. R. Y. Shirk. Rudolph Y. Shirk was born near Reading, Pa., March 2, 1835. He came to Lapaz twenty-five years ago. In 1879 he married Miss Emily Ruppert. Last February he was obliged to quit work in the grocery on account of ill health, and died at his brother's home in Lapaz, last Friday. Wednesday evening Mr. Shirk was baptized by Rev. Martin Luther Peter who conducted the funeral services from the Wesleyan Methodist church, Sunday morning. Three children, Agnes, Edna and Anna of South Bend; three brothers, Levi, of Lancaster county, Pa., Daniel of North Manchester, Ind., Henry, of Lapaz; two sisters, Mrs. Eliza Leed, of Teegarden, Mrs. Catharine Anne Hower, of New Berlin, Ohio, and a half-sister, Mrs. Mary Sweley, of Norton Co., Kan., to mourn his departure. The great-great-grandfather of the deceased came from the Republic of Switzerland and settled near Lancaster, Pa., when George Washington was a boy three years old. The Shirk farm was purchased from the sons of William Penn. Since 1735 the Shirks have made Lancaster their home, many however, have moved away and are scattered in the states of the central west. The remains were placed in the Fair cemetery, three miles south-west of Lapaz. P. Reformed Church. The pastor is conducting services at Twin Lake during the evenings of this week, prepartory to the communion on Palm Sunday. Next week, beginning with Sunday services will be held each night in St. Paul's church, and the Lord's supper will be celebrated on Easter Sunday morning. St. Joseph classes meet this year on the first Thursday of May at Fulton, Michigan. Our Navy Now Third. Tbe naval authorities at Washington have just awakened to the surprising realization that the United States has risen from the position of a second class naval nation to that of a great naval power. A few years ago the American navy stood sixth on the list in relative naval strength, being superior only to Japan among those nations which have made pretensions to a big fleet. Now, however, according to an official memorandum handed to Charles H. Darling, the acting secretary of the navy, by Captain Charles D. Sigsby, chief of the office of naval intelligence, this government is the third naval power, basing the calculation on the number of battle-line ships built, building and authorized, while on the basis of a comparison of vessels under construction or authorized only, the United States stands second in naval strength. Good Roads Cost Money. Massachusetts, having completed its tenth year of highway building, has 415 miles of first-class roads, which have cost the state $5,000,000, the state expenditure being $500,000 a year. With this amount about fifty miles of good road is built in a year, and that which had been built kept in repair. It was found that even good roads wear out, and it is necessary to expend a considerable amount in repairs. Good roads at $10,000 a mile are expensive and slow. They may connect the larger towns, but they do nothing for the sparsely settled portions, where good roads are most needed. To the end that the rural towns may assist in the work, the plan of improving country roads with gravel and like material has been tried. This probably gives a road a very little better than our gravel roads in Indiana. The lamentable truth is that a first-class, durable roadway at a moderate cost has not been discovered. Surprise Party. Mesdames Charles Schearer and Louis Haag had a complete surprise on Mrs. Harry Vangilder at her home on North Walnut street last evening. About twenty of her neighbor friends were present. Music and singing were among the leading features of the evening. Dainty refreshments were served at a late hour and all left expressing the opinion of having spent an enjoyable evening.

Girl Knocks Out Saloons. Miss Carrie Styer, who was discharged from her position in a store because she beaded a baud of slummers among the saloons, is likely to put the whole liquor fraternity of Kokomo out of business. After her dismissal she canvassed the town with remonstrances and in court last week put thirteen saloons out of commission for two years. She has remonstrances almost ready for use against all other applicants for licenses and will likely knock out every drinking place in town. Miss Styer, who is a sister of ex-County Treasurer Charles and Styer, has the backing of the churches and civic federation. Indiana et Shiloh. . .

The Chicago Chronicle is a democratic paper but it has presented some very sensible ideas recently in discussing the race question. Commenting on the recent discussion In Chicago it says: Of the speakers on the race question at the Physicians' club on Monday night the majority regarded It as a problem" to be solved .by doing something for or against the African race. Only one seems to have perceived that the only thing needed J to do justice rafford the African the protection of the laws, opportunity and recognition according to his merit. We treat the immigrant from Europe not as a 'problem" as a creature to be either boosted up or trampled down but as a man to rise or fall by his own merit or demerit. There Is no reason why we should treat the African as a "problem" to be solved by some system of special treatment. List cf Unclaimed Letters.
