. Plymouth, Ind., April 30, 1903. President Ingalls declares that if five thousand democrats had not sold then votes to the republican managers he would not have heen defeated in Cincinnati. This is a harsh thing '0' a democratic candidate to say of democratic voters.

James N. Tyner, assistant attorney general for the postofflce department, has been summarily dism'ssed because his wife, with his knowledge and consent, removed from bis otiflce all documents and papers and refused to surren ier them to postal officials, i

Twenty British workmen have just finished an inspection of the conditions of labor in this country, aud now Germany has sent forty-six farmers to study American agriculture. If this sort of thing is going on, we should establish technical schools for the rest of the world. "

President Boose vt It, is at last out of the woods pbyslcaiiy. If Mr. Morgan and Mr. Hill can arrange it, however, his excellency will next year find himself in the heart of the political forest, hopelessly lost and mired. The New York Sun supported Cleveland for president when he was a candidate three times. It has since been a red hot republican paper. It is now almost openly for Cleyelands nomination this year, and if he were nominated the Sun would undoubtedly support him.

David B. Henderson, late speaker of the national house of representatives, who is not particularly a . close friend of Roosevelt, predicts the president's nomination by the republicans next year, and his election by the largest majority ever given a presidential candidate. -

Nothing quite so sensational has occured in connection with the affairs of the Post office Department as the visit of Mrs. James N. Tyner to his office and her forcible removal of official papers. Whatever her motive mav have been, the transaction places Mr. Tyner in a bad light.

Democratic papers continue their clamor against trusts, but what has the democratic party ever done to restrain theru? Absolutely nothing. Eveiy law on the subject was enacted by republicans, and "republican administrations alone have shown a determination to enforce them.

Mrs. Helen M. Gougar has sued Austip II. Weir, chairman of the People's Independent party, of Nebraska, and the committee for $450. In her complaint Mrs. Gougar alleges that she was employed by the state committee of the party in Nebraska to make speeches, and that she was to receive $25 and expenses for each speech. She charges that there is due $150 for speeches.

Mr. Wyndham, chief secretary for Ireland estimates that the new Irish land scheme will involve $500,000,000 and possibly $750,000,000. This will not be a gift, the assisted tenants paying a three and one-fourth per cent per annum on the loans from the government, but it will be much the most liberal and stupendous .scheme o the kind ever inaugurated by any government.

Dr. J. L. Wortman claims to have found in a fossil monkey skull the missing link in the chain of evidence going to show that all life in .our planet originated in the north polar region. If terrestrial life really, originated there, does the fact account for this strange longing of modern man to get back to the point? Is It only a real but unrecognized yearning of man ta. revisit the scenes of his infancy and childhood?

A few years ago Senator Hanna was the worst abused man in the United States; now be is one of the most popular. The manner in which he expresses himself on the labor question coupled with his "work for bettering the condition of laboring men, has been a great factor in making him popular. He has also proven himself an able and far seeing statesman in the discussion of all the great questions that have been considered since he entered the senate.

The dream of Cecil Rhodes is realized in America before the funds left by him haye made it possible in Oxford. The manufacturing works at Schenectady, N. Y., has among its students all college graduatesyoung men from England, Scotland, France, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Spain Italy, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, Siam and Japan. Nearly all of the leading engineering schools of the world are represented there.

The manner in which Mrs. Tyner took certain pipers from the postoffice department at "Washington is so appalliDg that what happens hereafter will amount to little so far as Mr. Tyner is concerned, The public will believe that the papers taken from the safe contained something of an incriminating character. Attorney Michener and Attorney Petry, of Washington, are asking a good deal in their pica for "suspension of public opinion" in vi2T7 cf th3 manner in uhich t-2 rn-crs vrcre seized. O

No one will dispute Postmaster General Payne's conclusion respecting the Inadvisabllity of hunting rascals with a brass band. It may be ventured, however, that eyen hunting rascals with a brass band is preferable to not hnnting them at all. Whenever a public officer begins to talk resentfully cf the activity of the newspapers we may feel pretty certain that his own activity is rapidly diminishing. . Examination, of the records shows that President Cleveland appointed four colored men to office, President Harrison eight, President McKinley fifty-two and President Roosevelt,

during two years, fifteen. The figures

show a growing disposition to recognize the claims of colored men who are fit and qualified to hold office, but they do not show that President Roosevelt has made enough such appointments to justify the recent outbreak of abuse in the South.

Mentioning the fact that another 'harmony banquet" is to be held in Brooklyn the latter part of this month, the Chicago Chronicle aptly remaaks: A ''harmony banquet" never yet produced harmony in a party. At least there never was a successful democratic "harmony banquet." Men with strong convictions on great public questions are not converted by influences applied along the alimentary canal. Tickling the palate does hot change settled opinions.

The Washington Star, commenting on the attempt to drag the race question into politics, calls attention to the fact that Mr. McKinley 's negro appointments outnumbered Mr. Roosevelt's nearly Ave to one, yet no clamor was raised against the former. The Star thinss it a premeditated scheme and says: "Surely, a trick so transparent, so vocal with t humbug and smacking so strongly of bankruptcy can have n) influence on a

campaign when so many questions of

vital Importance are pressing for attention. .

Senator John B. Gorman was in his

youth a great base ball player and

when he played as a member of the Baltimore nine 35 years ago, the fielders always went "away back" but rUd not sit down when Gorman was at the bat. David Bennett Hill was a connrmed base ball "rooter', when he was in the United States senate, and Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, is similiarly afflicted or gifted. He and Mrs. Spooner attended a game in Washington recently, and when the home nine won in the tenth inning the Wisconsin statesmen discarded all senatorial dignity and yelled with the best of them.

The unearthing of a ' vast amount

of crookedness in the postofflce department is proof that of times the most trusted public officials go wrong. Another fact connected with the matter is, also, that seldom is there any deception of this kind carried on by individuals in the public service for the! f own benefit, but it is sooner or later brought to light and they are made to face the disgrace. Frequent changes in office are good for the country, and good for those who fill public positions. We would have fewer government, paupers if men. were made to understand that once in office does not mean always in office.

The Cleveland Ne jro Speech, Those who have read ex-President Cleveland's speech on the negro question will no longer doubt his candidacy for the democratic presidential nomination. There never was a more adroit bid for the southern vote and his assertion that the settle ment of the racial question ought to be left to the section in which tne negro lives, will meet universal southern approval. As a matter of fact there are few southerners who are really friendly to the colored race. They may like negroes for the work they may do, but their friendship is altogether a question of expediency. A residence for a few months in the south would convince northern sympathizers that the southern people would prefer to settle the negro problem by relegating the colored race to - slavery. Elkhart Truth.

Hanna Still at the front. Those persons who were saying that

nanna's standing in the party was

damaged by the recent democratic victory in his home town were, of course, widely astray. The scepter of supremacy In Ohio politics, it was said, had passed from the Cleveland section, of the state to the Cincinnati end. But the Cincinnati boss, George B. Cox, shows that this was a delusion. Says Cox, speaking for the republicans of

Hamilton county: "We are for Hanna

for senator and Roosevelt for President." Hanna's present term will end in 1905, but there will be no opposition in his party to his re-election, and as his party is overwhelmingly in the predominance in b's state, he is sure of another six years in the senate. - Change in Road Laws. Important changes in road laws were made by the last legislature. There will be no more disputes about wages for teams and men. Supervisors will get $2 a day for time actually worked, men will be paid $1.50 a day and teams $3 a day. The law provides for the election of a supervisor of each road district on the second .Saturday after the first Monday in January, 3905, and every two years thereafter. It d fines road districts as not including a.iy part of Incorporated cities or towns in a township Upon taking effect of the act each township trustee will divide bis township into not less than two or more than four road divisions and appoint supervisors therefor. Any further change in boundaries of the districts must be made only on petition of six freeholders.

Indiana to the Front Again. George Barr McCutcheon, the Indiana auther of "Graustark,"" has written a new novel under the title, "The Sherrods," for which he was paid $15.000 for advanced copyright, an amount only exceeded by Rudyard Kipling, who got $17,000 in one case. The author lays the scenes of his novel In Clay county, Indiana. It Is the story of a youDg farmer artist

.who marries a teacher, but keeps his

marriage a secret, ne goes to Chicago, but bis mistake leads him into a terrible entanglement, aDd the villian, who was the rejected lover, turns into a hero.

Hornet, Peacock, and Boxer. The chief constructor of the navy department has suggested to the secretary that the two new sailing training ships authorized by the last congress be named the Hornet and the Peacock, and that the training brig be named the Boxer. The idea is to commemorate in the navy names connected with gallant exploits In the past. The Peacock was a British

warship which was captured and sunk;

by the American sloop-of-war Hornet after a hard fight in 1813. After this fight a Halifax newspaper said: "It will no" do for our vessels to fight these of the Americans singlehanded; they are a dead nip.!' In this battle the ships were evenly matched, each carrying eighteen guns. Congress voted Commander Lawrence, o the Hornet, thanks and a gold medal, and New York gave the officers and crew a public banquet and the freedom of the city. The" Hornet did other gallant things, and the name Peacock was adopted and continued in the American navy for quite awhile. On Sept. 5, 1814, the British brig Boxer, fourteen guns, surrendered to the American brig Enterprise, fourteen guns, after an engagement of forty minutes off the cost of Maine. The captains -of both vesseh were killed and rrcre buried side by side in a cemetery at Portland.

Unearthed a Skeleton. - In Mishawaka, while excayatlng for M. V. Beiger's new $100,000 residence, the workmen unearthed the

skeleton of a man, presumably a ne

gro. The bones no longer retain their natural hardness, but haye become almost like wood. The body may have been buried oyer half a century, but the bones were found not more than three feet beneath the surface. No explanation has been offered on the presence of a skeleton In that locality. Fisherman Fined. William Andersand William Zimmer, residing near Lake of the Woods were brought before Justice Molter on the charge of having fish traps in tieir possession, and it cost them $34.95 each. The fish commissioner gets $20 for every man convicted of violating the fish law, and he is looking after violators around all the lakes in this vicinity. It will not be strange if some parties near- Plymouth, or within a few miles of here are brought in before many days. Negro Treated Cleverly. Addison Greene, janitor of the court of appeals of Missouri, was married the other day at Jefferson City. Perhaps no negro ever had a list of more distinguished guests at his wedding than did this faithful janitor. The. entire bench of the court of appeals, the clerk, deputies, marshals, other judges, county officers and lawyers by the score were in attendance, and yet we are told by Senator Tillmau and nenry Watterson that the negrü h.;s no social standing in the South k ' - - ..

MORTUARY

Dr. Isaiah Bower. Dr. Isaiah Bower, one of the oldest and best known physicians of Marshall county, died at his home in this city at 8:15 Thürs evening, April 23, 1903. Dr. Bower wa; u April 26, 1833, and would have c: 70 years old had he lived until Sunday. He came to this county in 1806 from Tuscarawas county, Ohio, and settled at Linkville, where he remained almost twelve years. He came to Plymouth twentyfive years ago and has ever since been, a resident of this city. He had a large and lucrative practice and was esteemed as an honest man by all who knew him. He was a man of sterling integrity, a friend of the poor, a kind husband, father and a true friend, who will be sadly missed by a large circle of acquaintances as well as by his family and relatives. He leaves a widow, one son, B. N. Bower, of North township, and two daughters, Mrs. George Vinall and Mrs. Schuyler Keiser. . Funeral services was held at the residence on Michigan street Sunday at 2:30 p. m., conducted by Rev. W. S. Howard Senator Hubbell Wealthy. O. Z. Hubbell, formerly of Elkhart, represented Elkhart and Kosciusko counties in the state senate a few years ago, then .went to California and was elected a member of the senate of that state, and died suddenly a few days ago. The South Bend Times says he left an estate of several hundred thousand dollars, ne began his professional career under adverse circumstances, and was made to feel keenly, for years, the Inconvenience bet not unmixed evil of being poor. In his first effort to enter public life he was rebuffed by defeat. That, however, did not discourage him to the extent of causing him to be unnerved. He again buckled on his armor, and succeeded. After having gotten a pretty fair start financially he moved to California. There wealth literally rolled into his coffars. seemingly without effort on his part. Had he lived a few years longer, with a continuation of the good luck that came to him, he would doubtless have become a millionaire.

He Knows It. An exchange says, Editors are the first to hear gossip or scandal, indiscretion of men and of women, things unfit for publication, intrigues, clandestine meetings, flirtations of married women, night rides, young gone astray, rumors of married men, and in fact all neighborhood scandals. Editors generally know all the naughty doings in a community, no matter how secret, If one-hall they they knew was published there would he divorce, social ostracism and other woes,-there Would be shotguns and gore, Imprisonment, lynching, desolate homes, shame, humiliation and misery. The editor also learns much of the hypocrisy ol life and it is a wonder he believes anything on earth or in the hereafter. People who abuse him often owe their standing in society to his forbearance. Servant Girl Famine. A dispatch from South Bend to the Indianapolis News says a servant girl famine isonintbat place and that big pay is offered domestics. Not less than 2,000 young women aud girls from Mishawaka and South Bend are employed in local factories and several hundred more can get employment. The efforts to get girls for housework leads to all sorts of rules. Servant girls are watched as tbey leave the house where they are employed and every inducement .is-offered to coax thöm to other places. Will Take Up Masonry. Congressman James D. Richardson, who was the democratic laader of the

house, spoke at the reunion of Scot

tish Rite Masonry of Alabama Wednesday night. He announced that he had decided to quit politics and devote himself to the work of Scottish Rite Masonry. He said that he had been he nored by re-election to congress nine times, and also had been elected grand commander of the Southern Supreme Council, thirty-third degree, Scottish Rite Free Masonry, and that the duties of the two offices conflicted S3 that it was necessary for him to give up politics entirely and to devote all his time in the future to the f utherance of Scottish Rite Masony. Card of Thanks. We desire to express our sincere thanks to the friends aud neighbors who so kindly assisted us in the sickness, death and burial of our deceased wife and mother. P.

MARRIED Smith-Bates. Miss Nellie Grace Smith, of Plymouth, Ind., and Mr. Will Gridley Bates, of Van Wert, Ohio, were quietly married at five o'clock, p. m. Thursday, April 23, 1903, at the home of the bride's aunt, Mrs. C. E. Slayter, 35 South Hoyne Ave., Chicago, the Rev. Mr. Phillips of the Park Avenue Methodist Church, performed the cereuony.

THE TRIUMPH enters the ground point down with heel up, and in raising from the furrow the point raises first, with heel down. These movements are produced by simply operating one lever. Other sulky'piows use two and somtimes three levers and cranks in their effort to produce the same results. It is equipped with an adjustable lifting spring, which aids in making it easy to handle and largely overcomes the weight of bottom and beam. The children and old folks can operate the Triumph.
