We wonder If the state fish warden has ever tumbled to the fact that Dr. Knott is operating a sucker trap? Postmaster General Payne should not confine that investigation to the postoffices at Washington, New York, and Boston. There are other offices full of rottenness, but we will not mention any names. The reports of extortion at the St. Louis Fair dedication are probably exaggerated. ' As the weather was extremely cool it is probable the hotel people were compelled to have tires in the rooms of their g'uests. Senator Lodge, or Massachusetts, has said to Postmaster General Payne that there must be no attempt at whitewashing any of the rascals who are mixed up in the irregularities of the postoffice department. Q It Is stated upon authority that the recent double-leaded editorial in the Cincinnati Enquirer, laudatory of Grover Cleveland, was printed by direction of John R. McLean, just before his departure for Europe. All doubt as to whether President Diaz of Mexico would stand again for re-election is removed by the proclamation of candidacy. He will be reelected without opposition, and this will be his sixth term of four years. Tne death of Judge A. E. Maxwell, of Florida, leaves Senator Vest, of M'siiri, the sole survivor of the Confederate States Senate. In that body Senator Vest had the unique experience of representing, a state which did not get out of the union. Some remarkable changes have recently taken place in the United States. The South is fast acquiring the cotton-spinning industry, while the abandoned farms of New England again selling at good prices and are being renovated, refertilized and brought under scientific cultivation. An eastern paper. declares editorially that "labor is ground down upder the heel of capital," but in its news columns it remarks that electrical workers, s.onecutters, housesmiths, machinists, lathers, plumbers and roofers receive from $4 to $4.50 a day of eight hours the highest wages ever paid in New York city. The only defense made by ex-Mayor Ames, of Minneapolis, charged with boodling. is that he was mentally irresponsible during the several years that the corruption was in progress. 1 1 cannot be deemed singular that Jn this, as in similar cases, the mental aberration did not effect the ability of the accused to get every dollar In sight and salt it carefully away. The insanity, in other words, merely obscured moral perception, but left the mind perfectly clear as to financial results. The Prussian minister of commerce, addressing a board of trade on Tuesday, declared that greater concentration was Germany's only efficient weapon with which to meet American competition. The nation," he said, "that does not follow the tendencies of the times toward concentration of industries will be lert behind. We cannot hold our own in the world's rnarrtets without specialization and concentration." This shows that the tendency to industrial combinaalon is cot confined to the United States. The friends of Cleveland are convinced that he does not want to be president again, but admit that his nomination is impossible evea if he desired to be a candidate for the fourth time. The two-thirds rule in the democratic national convention would prevent it. While Colonel Bryan and the remnant of the sixteen-to-one organization cannot control the national convention or dictate the platform or select the nominee, they will have at least one-third the delegates, and Cleveland would be the last man they will allow to be nominoted. , The North Pole will be approached, during the coming open season, by the scientific adventurers of five nations. Baron Tolls' expedition is refitting at the mouth of the Lena river, in Siberia. The Norwegian party, under Captain Ajnundson, which will also attempt to locate the magnetic pole, will sail from Christiania. A Danish expedition now studying Greenland will attempt to reach the pole in May. The American venture, financed by Ziegler, under Fala Instead of Baldwin, Is the best equipped both In outfit and experience. The French party cent for scientific retzzTch by Dr. Chariot will aks make itrccuoua effort to indicate the "farthest north by the tricolor." .

According to a health report received by the State Department from Havana, that city is now healthier than Washington, showing a lower death rate. This is due to the enforcement of strict bygenic methods during the American occupation of Cuba.

A report from Mexico says that it is the purpose of the government permanently to establish the value of the silver dollar at 50 cents gold. If Mexico can permanently establish the value of her silver dollar at any price, she will be better than most people think she Is. Richard O. Jchnson has been re elected for a period of four years superintendent of the Indiana Institution for the education of the deaf. He has been connected with the Institu tion for twenty years, and has served three terms as superintendent. He is still a young man and ought to have many years of his best service ahead of him. We have the promise this year of the greatest crop of wheat on record. A new record was made last year in winter wheat, the aggregate reaching 411,000,000 bushels. But the present prospect is wholly unprecedented. There are 2.000,000 more acres in wheat this year than there we-e last, and the condition of the crop is remarkably high. The Culver Citizen, the new paper of J. II. Koontz & Son, which takes the place of the Culver Herald is on our table. It is a six column quarto, bright and newsy, is printed from new type on a power press and looks neat and clean. It is non-partisan in politics and will be devoted to the Interests of Culver and vicinity. It deserves support. The investigation into the rottenness in the postoffice department produced another sensation Friday afternoon when Postmaster General Payne announced that August W. Machen, general superintendent of the free delivery system and who has been the central figure in the charges of fraud, bad been relieved from bis duties and his office placed in charge of Postoffice Inspector M. C. Fosnes. European rulers seem to be following the example of American presidents iu making extended tours. Siuce President Roosevelt's trip was planned and his itinerary published the President of France, King Edward, and Emperor William have all made trips, and tbeCzar is getting ready to do so. There are some material points of differerce, however. Our president confines his travels to American soil, while the others go abroad. One visits his own constituents while the others visit foreigners, and especially foreign rulers. Since the postoffice scandal has become a matter of so much public interest Postmaster-General Payne has been obliged to bold two receptions dally for the newspaper correspondents one at noon and the other at 4 o'clock In the afternoon. On these occasions about thirty newspaper men are received by the head of the department with all the dignity and grace of an embassy function. These dally receptions, however, are often ordeals to try the patience of a diplomat. For half an hour there is a heavy fire cf trying cross-questions, but the postmaster-general is veyy skillful in such matters and at all times polite. After nearly twenty years of hostility, John It. McLean has cast his Influence in favor of the fourth nomination, of Grover Cleveland at the hands of the democratic party. In a long double leaded editorial, inspired by Mr. McLean upon the eve of his departure for Europe, the Cincinnati Enquirer seriously discusses the availability of Mr. Cleveland as a candidate, and cheerfully concludes that it would be better to win with Cleveland as the candidate than lose with some "figure-head whom Colonel Bryan may tet up, Tyncr Incident u Closed. The abstraction of papers from the safe of the office of the. assistant attorney-general of the postoffice department by Mrs. James N. Tyner, wife of the then assistant attorneygeneral, is now regarded as practically a closed incident. The papers were taken on April 21 and the case was referred to the United States attorney for the District of Columbia a- week later. The matter has not been presented to the grand jury and it is generally believed that the grand Jury would not be likely to take action be cause of lack of proof that the papers taken were government property. ' Australian Rzbbiii. A few years ago the" rabbit was the plague and dread of the whole pastoral class in Australia. Australians are learning now to turn the rabbit itself Into a commercial asset. Twenty mil Hons of Australian rabbit skins were sold in London last year, while nearly 3,000,000 rabits frozen in their furs were sent to the London market from Victoria alone. Th3 Australian rabbit Is thus eupplyicj the tablc3 of the United Kingdom with food and the vrardrcbc3 of the civilized vrcrld with orcasisata,

Training of the Hand. In his excellent address at Indianapolis Booker T. Washington presented some facts worthy of consideration In educating white people as well as persons of color. He said in part: 'For a number of years I have advocated the industrial development of

the colored people, but not with a view of in any way cramping them or hindering their developmeut in other directions. On the other hand, I believe in the most thorough education of our people. At the same time I be lieve that while the head Is being educated the band and heart should be trained also, and especially do I be lieve In the training of the hand to do well the things that are right about us. In proportion as the negro learns to do a common thing In an uncommon manner; in proportion as he learns to do a thing better than somebody else, will he find an opening for his talents, and I believe that in proportion as we get upon our feet In a material direction that other opportunities will be afforded us. All races that haye made progress have done so largely by laving an economic foundation, and the negro can be no exception to the rule. ; "At the Tuskegee institute in Alabama from the first we have laid especial emphasis upon agricultural training. We have done this in the first place because 85 percent, of our people In the gulf states live by some form of agriculture, and I believe that in the education of any people especial stress ought to belaid upon the main industry out of which they get their living We began teaching agriculture in 1881, with one hoe and a blind mule. That Industry has gradually grown until our students now cultivate quite 1,800 acres of land. We not only emphasize agriculture for the reason that it teaches the people how to get their living, but iu proportion as they learn to love agricultural life In the same proportion will they be kept out of the large cities. "I believe that with their present state ,of development our people are at their best wbed owning and culti vating the soil in the country districts, and in too many cases they are at their worst when in contact with the severe competition and temptations of city life. If our people can be taught to remain upon the soil until they get strength, experience and intelligence, in this way they will lay a foundation for their growth which will result iu their get ting permanently and safely upon their feet. It has got to be through the slow, safe evolution along these lines that we must look for permanent success. No race can begin at the top and succeed. ' Our progress must be up through the soil, up th i ough commerce and education to the highest and best things in life. Editors and Politicians. The purchase of the Indianapolis Journal by Hon. Charles L. Henry, of Anderson, ex-congressman and lead ing reprbliean politician, has started j considerable political gossip as to the reason and intentions of this new move upon the political chess board. Some say that nenry wants to succeed Beveridge and that the paper was bought to strengthen him. We believe that Henry Is too good a politi cian to figure it out that way. Few men ever strengthen themselves politically, by owning a newspaper, espe cially a newspaper such as we believe that Henry will conduct. A newspaper says many things in the course of events, that do not meet the approval of its party. Its course Is often at angles with its party managers and it many times plays at cross purposes with even personal friends. The successful politician now a days seems to be the fellow who never expresses an opinion, nor takes any part In politics unless he is'a candidate and then he puts in his time trying to avoid responsibilities by shaking hands, kissing babies, making society speeches and being a good fellow. Ligonier Banner. Too Many Lawyers Elected. We have been working fifty years under the present constitution, and it would seem that Its provisions ought to be well understood by this time. especially those concerning the enacting or laws; yet the amount of ignorance on that subject that Is displayed at every recurring session of the general assembly is remarkable. In some of the bills presented, and In some that passed both houses, the titles are as long as the text of the bills, and so complicated and prolix that no one can understand them. Such titles are always prolific of litigation and trouble. Indianapolis Sentinel, Even Acre rtrnirUbls. The discovery made Thursday in the removal of the right eye of Philander Loomis of Westville, that the yltrcous humor had turned to limestone, has attracted much attention from physicians. It now appears that the case is even more remarkable than at first thought, for in f Edition to the vitreous humor becomih j stone the crystalline lens have also turned into stone and are even harder than the other. Mr. Loomis is getting along very well. The limestone will be sent to a medical museum, 03 the Cw to exceedingly rare.

Grand Army of the Republic. In commenting on the approaching G. A. R. encampment it Anderson, the Indianapolis Sentinel says: It is now forty-two vear since the first volunteers shouldered their muskets, bade good-by to home and loved ones and went forth at the call of patriotism, and nearly forty years since the last battle was fought, the last charge sounded, and the very youngest of those who took part In that great struggle must be nearing the

three-score mark. When they offered themselves as a willing sacrifice for liberty and union the United States had already become a wonder among the nations of the earth. But what has taken place since that struggle ended? Had these men failed in their duty, had their courage faltered, had they succumbed under defeat and discouragement, the United States would have ceased to be a power among the nations. It would have been torn and divided, with factions warring against factions, instead of being the proud exponent of liberty and self-government it is today. Since nations were first organized none has grown as our own since Lee surrendered grown in strength, in material wealth, in broad and enlightened statesmanship, in diplomacy in power. Napoleon built up a personal power in a few years that for awhile dominated all Europe, ut France, as a nation, did not grjw. It was Napoleon alone. The growth of America has not been that of one man, but of a nation. Much of this great growth since 1865 was made possible bv the work done on the battlefields of the civil war by the citizen soldlefy, not alone of the North, bufalso of the South. When the veterans of the South laid down their arms they had a broader conception of the nation and its possibilities than they bad ever had before. They laid down their muskets and their swords to e.: ter upon the work of making a new South, and gloriously have they fulfilled their trust, for the South has grown rich and powerful beyond all conception within the four decades since the war for separation. An Interesting Entertainment. The class for confirmation in the German Evangelical church here in April 1904, met at the home of Pastor Weiss Wednesday evening and had music, old fashioned games, puzzles and a general good time. They now comprise Miss Mamie Hoham's Sun day school class and she accompanied them. Rev. C. E. Weiss and wife never fail to make any company feel at home and they know just how to entertain boys and girls. The class is composed of Melita Shoemaker, Irene Kuhn, Flora Foltz, Katherine Foltz, Mary Scott, Marie Seger, Caroline Mast, Mattie Pfender, Gussie Kuhn. Earl Ulrich, George Hamme), and Charles Hammel. Miss Georgia Marble, who is visiting at Dr. Kaszer's, waspresentby invitation. A pleasing feature of the entertain ment was what seemed to be a verylarge pie In a large pan with strings hanging out all around It. Eyery member of the class who could repeat a verse of scripture was allowed to pull one of the strings. When a string was pulled a hole was broken in the top of the tissue paper pie and a souvenir came out. It was an evening that will be pleasantly remembered by those present when they have grown to manhood and womanhood and Old Father Time has twined threads of silver in their hair. Nejro's Advantages in South. In his address at Indianapolis Wednesday night, Brooker T. Washington said: While there are many difficulties to be overcome in the south, and while there is much that would seem from some aspects discouraging, at the Same time the negro has advantages in the south in certain d i recti jns that be does not secure in as large a decree. In any other part of the country. I refer especially to the business openings as well as the opportunities to work at practically all the trades that require a high degree of skill. In most every town and city of any size we have gotten to the point where a number of colored men will be found cs grocers or traders in dry goods, and in four cities colored people own and operate banks. One ot the largest of there banks is in the city of Birmingham, Ala., and has been in successful operation for fourteen years; It Is not only patronized by the colored people, but by the white people and has the confidence of the business element of that city. While race prejudice shows Itself in certain directions, I repeat that when one comes to business pure and simple, stripped of all ideas of sentiment, the negro is given almost as good an opportunity to rise as is given to the white man."

His picture appeared in the papers of tener than that of a man cured of some prominent disease by a popular patent medicine. Then came the lawyers. Clarence .S. Darrow. chief counsel, was a conspicuous figure before the coal commission. Free advertising he received as a lawyer, would, it space rates in the papers, have cost him many thousands of dollars.

Lyeball Turned to Stone. An operation for the removal of an eye Thursday morning at the Holy Family hospital brought to light a most unusual circumstance, one which in medical annals is considered a rar ity. After removing the right eye of j Philander Loomis of Westville, which i for 11 years has been totally blind, it. was found ihat it had turned to stone. Eleven years ago while playing with his brothtr Young Loomis, then 9 years old, had accidentally been struck in the eye with the knife blade, rendering him totally blind in that optic. As no difficulty was experienced the ball was not removed, but recently the sight of the left eye became affected and it was decided that in older to save the sight it would be necessary to remove the right eyeball. The operation was performed Thursday morning by Dr. M. S. Smith at the hospital and the surprise of the operating physician and the attendants was great when it was found that the eye had turned to limestone, the stone being as large as an ordinary marble. The formation of the limestone ss accounted for by the fact that' the blood in passing through the viterous humor had deposited lime salts which in time had made the stone as large as it now is. Laporte Herald. Bad Fire at Anderson. Anderson, Ind., May v. rire profce out on the fourth floor of the Hotel f)oxey, and in half an hour a loss of $25.000 was fustalned. Tinners were at work at an early hour yesterday morning on the mansard roof of the hotel, and It Is thought that they dropped live coals on the woodwork. The flames originated in the northeast corner of the hotel and worked Cown to the fourth floor. The fire, spread rapidly and went from the east to the west end of the building under the roof. It was a fierce and difficult flame for the firemen. One Woman Took a. lUak. Before the fire was extinguished the entire hotel was flooded with water, adding to the damage, which is estimated to be at least $20,000, on the hotel furnishings and at least 15,000 on the building. There were about thirtyfive g-uests in the hotel, and some were still at breakfast, but all escaped, together with the employes, without Injury, but some of their etTects are badly water soaked. Miss Minnie Meyers rushed to her room on the fourth floor to get her clothing and fell unconscious from suffocation. The firemen rescued her, but she is still in a serious condition. Mrs. John Freeman also had to be carried out of the hotel. Spoils Soma G A. B. ArranganaaU. The hotel was badly damaged, especially by water.

The Indians of northwestern Kansas own many miles of tine cattle range in that section, and for years they summered cattle on their reservations for $1 a ljead. Then the cattle owners began bidding against each other for the choicest corners of the range, and the aborigine calmly lit a fresh pipe and said that he thought that he must really charge $3 for each steer. This was willingly paid, and red man opened his eyes and began to give the matter a little serious thought, which resulted in the quiet announcement a few days ago that the range interested bad been pooled and that the price would hereafter be $5 a steer for pasturage. The cattle raisers were fairly caught, and many will pay the advanced price, as they have no time to make other grazingarrangements. Thus does Lo's untutored mind absorb the ideas of modern financial civilization. He can scarcely be blamed for following the example of his white brothers in adopting the "community of interest" plan now so widel? prevalent. Mospita! Head Asked to Resign. Indianapolis, May 7.
