Harper cannot account for the growth 6f : infidelity among college students. Possibly what is known as the higher criticism of the bible by the heads of great universities may have something to do with the condition of things which Dr. Harper deplores. It is said that New, York bankers have been plainly informed by Secretary Shaw that they cannot, look to the United States treasury for relief when they permit speculative customers to produce a stringency. Those banks have it in their power to takeuut more circulation. If they do not they must take the consequences. The South Bend papers are unanimous m supporting Mayor Fogarty in I his veto of the franchise granted the Chicago & Air Line railway. No compensation, the use of too many streets for electric lines and failure to guard the city's interests, because of the loosely drawn ordinance were the principal reasons given by the mayor for his veto. The national capital is known as "a city of night universities." It is estimated that 2,000 young men and women are in Washington working for the government from 9 to 4 o'clock every day and going to universities or colleges after the close of the government offices. Om of the largest educational institutions in the city is Jargely dependent upon students of this class. As a result of the recent riots in Joplin, Mo., nore than Ave hundred colored people have left . the city, many of them abandoning little properties. One old woman who had built a two-story residence out of her savings fled with the rest, the windows of her home having been smashed and the doors wrenched from their hinges by the mob. A Colorado court has decided that when an employer hires a man to take the place of a striker he must take the responsibility of any damage for Injury which may be received at the hands of violent strikers, unless at the time of his employment the employer notifies him of his peril. Thus does the court seem to recognize the propriety of the violence to which the employe subjects himself by taking the place of a striker. A local court in Boston, strikes another note of liberty. A citizen was accused of hissing at a play. His disapproval was so vigorous that it greatly disturbed the actors and the audience. The accused offered to introduce testimony to prove his innocence. But the judge decided that this was unnecessary. A free born citizen of the commonwealth of Massachusetts, he said, had a perfect right to "hiss, coo, groan or say sarcastic things" at a play if he so desired. Cool-headed members of the cabinet declare there is no more danger of trouble with Germany than of trouble with England or France or Russia. The fiction or theory of an impending conflict has been nurtured in the imagination . They say the German emperor has given this country ample and sincere proof of his pacific and friendly intentions and that as to the warmth of feeling existing between the German and American people, of course, there can be no question. -tr Legislature3 of western states have been generally active the past winter in passing laws to drive out of existence the "bomb co-operative," "diamond tontine" and installment bond" companies and others of their class. The essential characteristic of all of these companies is that they attract investors on the weekly or monthly payment plan by promising profits at a rate that can be mathematically shown to be impossible. "Where they are not deliberate swindles their only hope of success lies in the forfeiture of the contributions of many of the subscribers for the benefit of a few. The lawyers in the Moses Fowler Chase case may know what they are fighting for and how a court can help either of the contending parties to get possessipn of the young man's property, but the public does not. The fact that a min is insane, as young Chase undoubtedly is, does. not divest him of he property to which h3 vei legally entitled before be became inane. No court can divest him cf his property, nor can hs convey or t2qucath it.

A SMOOTH SCHEME.

Men Who Dropped Money in the Chronicle Fishing for Suckers. On Saturday, March 18. 1903, articles of incorporation of the Plymouth Chronicle were filed, capitalizing the plant at $4,000. The number of shares- are 400 and the price per share is placed at $10. The incorporators and directors are W. M. Cochran, F. M. Pickerl, Frank W. Boss, David C. Knott, John J. Staley, Stephen S. Staley and Joseph T. Wood. It will be readily een that object of incorporation is to reimburse these men for the money they have lost in trying to establish the Chronicle. The plant is worth about $700 and if these men can sell 400 shares at $10 per share they will get out even and peihaps make a little money, while the men who purchase the stock will get about fifteen cents on the dollar. Since the Chronicle was started we have refrained from mentioning it, and shall continue to do so, but we felt it was our duty to put this matter In the proper light, and now. if there are any suckers who want to take the bait these expert anglers have thrown out we shall have nothing more to say. Mr. Bryan Is convincing the country that he is opposed to Mr. Cleveland. His last attack, at the democractic banquet in Kansas City, was the most venomous he has yet made. He seems to think Mr. Cleveland is a candidate for the democratic nomination. The error of those who said thirty years, ago that the negro could be given the ballot before he was prepared for it was no greater than that of those who today think those rights can be withheld from him after be h- enveloped and is ready for them. Why does Lieutenant-Governor Lee object to appearing before the St. Louis grand jury? Surely an innocent man has no cause to fear grand juries, and ' surely a state official and good citizen Is eager to aid in the enforcement of the law in his state! Tis passing strange, but meantime Mr. Lee stays out of the court's jurisdiction. The Hon. Charles A. Towne, who may be remembered "in connection with a bifurcated nomination for the vice-presidency of the United States, bobs his head out of the sea of oblivion long enough to' remark that he is still a democrat. And he has been about as still a democrat since the unpleasant occurrences of the fall of 1900 as was the non. David B. Hill during the summerof '96. The Governor of Missouri has proclaimed the'30th of April, the day selected fcr tbe1 dedication' of the grounds and buildings of the world's fair at St. Louis, a state holiday. The date selected is appropriate, it being the centennial anniversary of the signing of the treaty by which the United States acquired Louisiana Territory. Indications point to a very large attendance at this preliminary exercise. I W. E. Curtis, of the Chicago Record-Herald, has discovered that the democrats of the South are weary of Bryanism and desire the old brand of democracy. He makes the surprising statement that "the proportion of professional politicians is greater in the South than in the North," and that "the business element, generally speaking, believe in the doctrines taught by the republicans and vote the democratic ticket because it is a white man's ticket. "Ballot-box Butchery" is the caption the St. Louis Pot-Dispatcb giyes to the returns of the voting in the Fourth ward of that city at the late municipal election. In November, 1900, the democratic candidate for governor received 1,640 votes in the ward and the republican candidate 1383 a total of 3,023. In the municipal election the democratic candidate, received 3,125, or 99 votes more than were polled in a presidential election, while the republican candi: date raceived 164 votes. The PostDispatch is not a republican paper, but, even with its democratic bearings, it cannot shujits eyes to such a glaring outrage upon popular elections. Now with the keenest appreciation of the Southern white man's feeling at having the ignorant black man once his slave, "setting himself up," so to say, can not our Southern friends bring themselves to feel that the little annoyances of life do not deserve "shooting on the spot," and that a black man's rights .under the law, can be granted without danger of a servile insurrection or social equality? Our brethren of the South, we veritably believe, are hysterical on, this point. As the younger acaocg them corns up to ttz ordering cf tffiars, vro trust thy will not hayc thi3 mania eo keenly developed. For it mu:t cubside and cool conduct and rational vievrs prevail before thi3 eterr.il question ever ceases from troutlirj. Inr diiczpoll3 NeT73.

AUYILLE. LOUISIANA

A Progressive Town With Many Advantages and a Bright Future. We are In possession of a copy of the New Orleans Picayune, of Monday, April 13, giving a description of the growing town of Marksville, La., where Leroy Staley is located. The town has 1,000 inhabitants, a large number of business houses, good schools and churches, lodjes of Masons, Odd Fellows and other benevolent societies, a good bank, good newspapers, a cotton gin that handled 1,200 bales of cotton last season, and another that handled almost 900 bales, a large brickyard, prominent physicians, lawyers and other professional men and intelligent, progressive and courteously disposed people in the city and surrounding country. The Picayune says: ' Marksville is ranked among the most progres'Jve towns in the state, its advantages are inferior to none, and its future possibilities are most flattering. To cite a complete list of the many attractive features of the town would Involve many hours of hard labor. Marksyille is the county seat of the Parish of Avoyelles, and is situated on the Marksville branch of the Texas and Pacific Railroad. The town is In the midst of one of the finest cotton-producing sections of Louisiana, and thousands of bales are handled annually by her merchants and cotton factors. The parish has some of the finest timber lands in the country. 'Marksville has made rapid strides In progress dujlng the past few years. They have erected a handsome, new. two-storv brick courthouse, also a new jail with all modern, up-to-date appliances. Two large cotton gins, a brickyard, also an electric light plant, are among the many advantages to be found here. The Marksville Flectnc Light and Power Company, Limited, have erected an up-to-date plant here at a cost of $7,000. The equipment consists of two Bullock direct current generators, one Skinner engine, and onelOO-horse power bohtr. This plant furnishes light anii power for the town. nere Is located the main office of the Avoyelles Telephone Company, Limited. This company -operates long-distance metallic circuit lines in Avoyelles Parish, connecting with the Cumberland Telegraph and Telephone Company to New Orleans, and all cities in the north and east. The Avoyelles Land Company have magnificently appointed offices here. This company has purchased 109,000 acres of land in this Section, which they propose dividing into sections and selling to farmers at a small figure. The land Is adapted to the cultivation of cotton, cane, corn and every variety of vegetabbs. Mr. Leroy Staley, the reeident manager, Is from Plymouth, Ind., änd a practical agriculturist of the hustling kind. The company is to be congratulated upon Its engagement of a man so thoroughly competent and active. Those Who Drank Are Dead. Senator Chauncy M. Depew said In a talk to railroad men: "Twenty-five years ago I knew every man, woman and child in Peekskill, and it has been a study with me to mark uoys who started in every grade of life with myself to see what had become of them. I was up last fall and began to count them over, and it was an instructive exhibit. "Some of them became clerks, merchants, manufacturers, lawyers and doctors. It is remarkable that every one living of my age. Barring a few who were taken off by sickness, every one that proved a wreck and wrecked his family did it from rum and no other cause. "Of those who are church going people, who are steady, industrious, and are hard-working men, who were frugal and thrifty, every single one of them, without exception, owns the house in which he lives' and has something laid by, the interest on which, with his house, would carry him through many a Tainy day. When a man becomes debased with gambling or drink he doesn't care all his Inner feelings are crowded out." " The Country's Cash. The per capita circulation of the United States at' the beginning of the present month, according to the treasury figures f was $29,34. There was a slight decline in March, but in the twelve months ended with March there was a large gain. At the beginning of April, 1903, the total amount of money in circulation in this country was $2,351,757,943. This showed a gain of $99,700,000 in. the twelve months. , Less gold coin is in circulation tjow. to the extent of $13,000,000, - than a year ago, but more gold circulates in the form of certificates, to tha extent of $64,000,000, than then. Other forms of currency show Jccncldsrable changes down 0? up. - - It fill be noticed that the-jh the country's population is growlcj pretty rapidly, it3 ceeh is expanding still tdlzr.

MORTUARY

Mrs. Benjamin Switzer. Mrs. Lydia Switzer, wife of Benjamin Switzer, died at her home two miles northwest of Plymouth, at four o'clock Tuesday morning, aged 77 years, 3 months, and 1 4 days. Deceased was born, in Columbiana county; Ohio, where she married Benjamin Switzer in 1851, and for 52 years they had traveled life's journey together. They came to Indiana In 1854 and settled in Kosciusko county, came to Marshall county In 1862, resided in Bourbon township and purchased their farm northwest of Plymouth 19 years years ago where they have since resid ed. . ' Death came after an illness of six months caused by old age and a complication of diseases; Mrs. Switzer was an excellent woman and during a residence of almost fifty years in this and Kosciusko county had made many friends who will be sad when the news of her death reaches them. She leaves an aged husband, three sons, two daughters; several grand children and other relatives. Funeral services will be held at the residence at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, conducted by Be v. A. P. DeLong. The remains will be interred at Oak Hill cemetery. Health of Indiana in March. The state boaad of health says: Influeuza was the most previlmt disease in March. Smallpox was second most prevalent. These two diseases have changed position as compared with the preceding month. Bronchitis, pneumonia and tonsilitis, all diseases of the air passages, follow next in the order named. There seems to haye been considerable scarlet fever because it stands seventh in the order of prevalence. Typhoid fever was unusally prevalent for this month and diphtheria was not so prevalent as usual. There were 873 cases of smallpox reported with 28 deaths. Nineteen of these deaths occurred in Marion county. There were 889 cases of smallpox reported for February, with fifty deaths. There is therefore an Improvement to be recorded. There were fifty-nine counties invaded in February and tiftyfour in March. A still further reduction is expected in April. Deaths: The total number of deaths reported was 2,958, which is a rate of 13.8, This Is an improvement over the corresponding month last year, which showed a rate of 14.2. The deaths under one year of age uumbered 438.or 15.8 per cent of the total. The deaths of 65 and over numbered 797, or 28.8 per cent of the total. The sudden death from black smallpox of Senator Gibson on Sunday, March 8, seems to bo a matter for special record. He died on the 6th day of the attack and the death was reported to have oeen caused by hemorrhage (thoracic). The undertaker suspected smallpox .on account of eruption on the body. The remains were immediately embalmed by arterial and cavity embalming. They were also thoroughly bathed with a powejful antiseptic and were shipped at 3 o'clock Monday morning to the senator's home in Perry ceunty. Two members of the senator's family and his brother hae since died of smallpox. Senator Newhouse, who was a warm friend of Senator Gibson, together witt Oscar and Stella Gibson, visited the undertaker's establishment and viewed the remains. These three promptly came down with smallpox. Senator ; Newhouse had it mildly, but the two children; named had it severely and the son,Oscar,died. Mrs. Gibson had been well vaccinated and was the only one of the whole family who was not attacked. The description of the dead body of Senator Gibson which was given by the undertaker and the prompt outbreak of smallpox In the family and in Senator Newhouse, first pointed to the conclusion that the death was caused by black smallpox. Disinterment and autopsy oj the body has since confirmed the conclusion. Matches Were Not Mentioned. " Among the clubs of New York is one called the Minerva Club." As Minerva was a woman, the club bearing her name is a woman's club, and, as she was the goddess of wisdom, the Minerva Club discusses serious questions. At the last meeting of the cluh a debate was held as to what was the greatest of' human inventions. One woman thought wheels were entitled to the honor not wheels In the head, but the kind by . which steam and elecericity are utilized, by which all the factories, in the world are moved and all machinery, from a vr&tch to a grist mill i3operated. The Lammer, tb.3 gis stove' the printing jiress, wireless telegraphy, the rubber bcLl need by dentists to keep the patient's, mouth open and prevent conversation, electrical appliances and other Inventions had some supporters. Singularly enough, In a woman's club matches were not mentioned, and it did net occur to anybody that tb.3 greatest invention cf all i3 the wo-man'5Club.

. - . For Greater Bntish Navy. The British admiralty's proposition to. spend 8174,000,000 for naval construction must be somewhat staggering to the British taxpayers. Hitherto it has been Great Britain's policy to maintain a navy equal to the combined strength of France and Russia. This has been done without raising much protest in or out of parlalment, but the proposed new departure means that Great Britain feels her safety. to lie In a navy equal to the three largest In Europe. Neither France nor Russia has on hand any very ambitious naval programme, but Germany is fast increasing her already strong force of modern ships. The inevitalbe conclusion is that Great Britian means to be prepared to fight all three if the necessity arises. For Sile zi a Cirrn.
