The first conviction under the Sher man law has taken place, the first trust that proved too fresh being the salt trust. The one thing most apparent In the list of democrats suggested as possible candidates for the presidency is the impossibility of any one of them being elected. The Russian Jews who come to this country seem to be quiet, industrious men. Wholesale murders of this race in Russia are a blot on the czar's gov ernment that needs his prompt atten tention. "With assurances from Russia that our commerce shall not suffer, even if Manchuria does pass under Russian control, it would seem that it is a pretty good row for us to stay out of for some time yet. Canada's population east of Lake Superior is 4,000,000 and west of it 1,000,000. Our Lady of the Snows occupies a large slice of North America, but several states in this country are more populous. Senator Tillman, or South Carolina, takes a turn at the silent man in Sandusky Bar and declares that Mr. Cleveland's nomination would be an iasult to the 6.500,000 democrats who voted the ticket at the last elections. Pension office figures show that veterans of the Union army are dying at the rate of nearly 40,000 a year, and the mortalitv among font er confederates is not much less, More than half the men who took part in the civil war have answered the last muster. Heretofore Iuca traditions led scientists to believe that Peruvian civilization existed only a few centuries before the coming of the Spaniards. The work of Dr. Uhle is said to have established the fact that a great civilization flourished in Peru 2,000 years earlier. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, thinks the organization of employers will tend to prevent troubles. 'Organized employers,' he says, "will be better able to understand the demands of organized labor and to meet these de"mands without friction." Grand Master F. T. Hawley, in his annual address to nhe switchmen's nnion of 'North America, told the representatives of 15,700 workers that nothing could be gained by the precipitate ordering of strikes and advised falrmindedness and deliberation in opening and settling disputes. Charles M. Pepper, one of the most Intelligent and reliable of newspaper correspondents, writes from Panama that, In his opinion, the canal treaty will be ratified by the Colombian congress after the opposition has exhausted itself. The limit for ratification Will not expire until September. The utmost that government can do for an individual or for a people is to famish opportunity, and the young man that sets out with the idea that this government does not do this will find after a little intelligent self-examination that bis grievance, after all, is not against the government but against nature. The members of the Virginia legislature, all of whom are democrats, were polled the other day on their choice for presidential candidates for 1904. Every member of both houses, with the exception of three, expressed himself In favor of Senator Gorman of Maryland and these three announced themselves for Judge Parker, of New York. Several southern and western democrats, some of whom were Cleveland men through Bryan's days, are saying that Cleveland could not be elected for a third term. There is no need of getting excited about this. None of the Cleveland boomers are saying be could be elected. All they say is that he would reduce the republican majority in the electoral college to a lower figure than would any other democrat who could be thought of. There is not much satisfaction in this lor Cleveland himself, however.

A Chicago paper says that Joseph Leiter has offered to settle with his .remaining creditors for 20 cents on " the dollar. Mr. Leiter is the young Napoleon , of finance who engineered - the great wheat corner of 1897-98, in

The fact that a subordinate in the post-office depart ment, a mere head of division, could order these promotions without the knowledge or authority of the post master general shows defective organ izetioa or loose business methods Indianapolis Journal. Present indications are that foreign immigration to the. UniUd States during the current fiscal year will ex. ceed all previous records. The fiscal year will end next June 30, and dur Ing the ten months up to April 30 the number of immigrants was 620. 710, against 788,992 in any previous w r year. An unpleasant feature of the present immigration is that the coun tries whose people we least desire are furnishing the most immigrants. Leading women of "Wisconsin are organizing a new woman's suffrage movement. It is proposed to get all WW. 0 the women in the state who pay taxes to unite In a protest to the legislature against taxation without repre sentation, and then to refuse to pay taxes, thus bringing the question .be fore the courts. If they succeed in getting the question before the courts they will probably be told that tax ation without representation exists in the case of others besides women, as of minor heirs, the property of non residents, etc., and, in a few states, of persons unable to read and write. The court will probably tell them that the enjoyment of political suffrage is not a rigbt by natural law, but is a question of expediency, ana that un til the legislature enacts a law providing for womau suffrage it cannot be adjudged by the courts as a natural right. - Discipline in the School and Home. The report of the principals of the New York schools which recommends a return to the discipline of corporal punishment is based upon the plea that other methods of discipline that have been tried as a substitute have proved inadequate In certain cases. This plea and the conclusion that has been drawn from 'it are not peculiar to New York. There is a very common complaint throughout the country that "the unruly children of a class, taking advantage of the limitations of ithe teachers' powers, waste the time of the other pupils, make class management a difficult task, and in many cases conduct themselves toward teachers In a mannej which would not be toleraaed outside of a public school building." And the harassed and badgered men and women who are compelled to endure every species of impertinence and Indignity from itching imps of Satan are very apt to feel that the sparing of the rod is a capital mistake. But the intensity of the feeling will of itself arouse some doubts. Punishment is too often a matter of mood and temper, and it was because corporal punishment was frequently applied in fits of passion and with undue severity that it fell Into popular disfavor. It was thus condemned not only in the schools but in the family as well, so that In two generations time there has been a marked change to milder forms of parental discipline. Naturally, too, as parents have banished ths rod from the home they have more and more resedted the Idea of its use by teachers, and its restoration in the schools would certainly provoke a storm of protests in this altered condition of public sentiment. Nevertheless the need of a greater discipline is obvious, and there are those who believe that it could begin very advantageously in the home. If the truth must be confessed the American child has not an enviable reputation. He is thought by foreigners to be lamentably lacking in respect for his elders and to fully justify the wisdom of the proverb. ".pe that spareth his rod hateth his son; but he that loveth him cbasteneth him betimes." Certainly the effects of overindulgence and toleration are quite bad enough within the circle of family and friends and they become a public nuisance when they spread to the schools. It is a duty, therefore, for the parents to assist the discipline of the latter. They may do so by the administration of corporal Opunlshment themselves, which would undoubtedly prove beneficial in some instances. Record-Herald. How Filzt Prcphtü Do Gcsd.

. Extinct Animals and Bird.

. The ornithologist of the department of agriculture discusses the dlsappearance of numerous animals and birds that were once common-in this country and presents some facts which are worthy the attention of breeders or stock ana chicken fanciers. He says: t "The fate of the wild pigeon was much like that of the buffalo. About 1884 there were 75.000 buffaloes killed in one year. This practically exterminated the herds. A year or so later 100,000 more were killed, and since that tsme the animals were a j ....... luunu so b'jarce tnat tnev are now counted by the dozens. Mr. Hornaji ....... . - ..I aay oi tni3 department went out in IBs? or lass ana kiuea nrteen or twentv for the national museum. "Most of the wild pigeons seen these days are in Wisconsin and Michigan, While we are looking there for the restoration or the bird, we are not n- . . k couraged to expect to again see them 1 .1 -1 - m . inaounaance. me trouoie is caused by a law of nature. If a breed of animals is reduced below a given number interbreeding: will result in "extinc tion. The buffalo of Europe were killed off until about the beginning of the last centurv. Then 500 or 600 were placed in large parks and protected, and they increased to about 1,400. Then interbreeding prevented the raising of offspring, and from that i time to the present they have been eraduailv decreasing The cows are barren, and it is onlv a nuestion of a ' oew years before the European bison will pass from the earth. The herds have been reduced so low there is no chance of saving the species. Here is ! grave danger. The extermination of came animals and birds is often carried so far before a halt is called that not enough remain to prevent complete extinction when interbreedng commences. "The Labrador duck is now extinct. lwenty-nve years ago It was a com mon bird, in the '30s and '40s they sold for 50 cents a pair; now the skin of that bird is worth thousands of dollars. There are not more than forty or fifty in the museums of the Concentrate Your Energies. The unfortunate fact that there are so many unsuccessful and disappointed persons in the world should make young men heed the voice of experience. Nothing they will hear Is of more importance than the admonition o concentrate their energies upon one thinsr. . 'Concentration." said Emerson, "is the secret of strength, in politics, in war, in trade; in short n all management of human affairs." The present Is an era of specializaHon rh all vocation, a man ran tab a broad view of education and of life In general, but be cannot afford to try to do too many things. Boston Globe. Prof. Brown (or Governor. The South Bend Times says: Former Lieutenant Governor Haggard, now editor of the Lafayette Journal, is of the opinion that Congressmen Hemenway, of Evansvllle, and Cr urn packer, of Valparaiso, would like to be nominated for governor next year. J. .Frank Hanley is also suspected of cherishing gubernatorial aspi rations. On the democratic side there is a good deal of talk about uaniei a. öimms, or Larayette, rror. H.

The following from the Drover's journal win interest farmers: "There has been no end of howling during the past year by feeders who h 1.1 k a feed. Not a few stockmen have come to the Drovers Journal office and stated emphatically that the soft corn had poor feeding qualities and uauvuu u4twnLcu.

Beveridje Favors Full Discussion.

Senator Beveridge, at a banquet given by the bar association at Fort Wa?ne, spoke briefly on the subject of cloture in the senate, saying that the rule would be adopted at the appreaching session, but It would apply only to appropriation bills. To permit the majority to force through legislation under the cloture rule would, he said, subvert the purpose of the senate, .which was to provide a check against action which does not represent the sober second thought of the people. He said no measure that the oeoole ever reallv wanted to ' - " v I . . ...... .. nass naa ever ianea ov reason or lacic of cloture in the senate.

War in the not far distant future will lose a lare share of its horrors bv the universal adoption of an antisepcording to Dr. Nicholas Senn, one of the five American delegates to the in ternational medical congress at Ma drid, Spain. Dr. Senn says that the new method of treating wounds by immediately preventing infection is a boon to humanity. It should, he says, be adopted bvthe police and fire departments in cities and by the armies of the world. Since its use in the Spanish-American war and in the Philippines this device has been greatly simplified wonderful results in preventing mortality are obtained. The servIce ?r tbe Physician are not needed and it is good for knife wounds and all manner of injuries. Every soldier can be equipped with the dressing and can use it himself. Strike Conditions Deplorable. It should be no cause, for surprise that the school board has discovered that it cannot afford to expend its money in school buildings this year. partly because of the high price of materials, but chiefly because of the advance in the uncertainty caused Dy the ease which strikes are organized. In most of the large cities the epidemic of strikes has made the conditions deplorable. Just now the strikes caused by contending unions are the greatest injury. In a slnsrle buildlnsr in New York, are! tnree distinct strikes, all between contending unions. Indianapolis Journil. Cahlornia s Dewey Monament I .

American Money Mission. What is known as tbe international exchange commission sailed for Europe Thursday. It consists of H. H. nanna. of ' Indianapolis: Charles A.

Creel of tbe Eanko Central Mexicana of Mexico, who will meet in London the other members of the Mexican commission Eduardo Meade, president of the bank, of San Luis Potosi, and Luis Camacho, of the City of Mexico. These gentlemen will visit the sev eral capitals of Europe during the next three or four months for the pur pose of conferring with tbe finance ministers of the great powers concerning a plan of co-eperatlon to prevent further fluctuation in the rates of ex change between silver and gold. It is not a mission in favor of bimetallism. On the contrary, the influence of the commissioners will be exerted toward the adoption of a single gold standard by all countries now using silver, with the understanding that its monetary value shall be permanently fixed in relation to crold ana that con tracts made in other money shall have equal value and stability. The silver I , m U 1 '.. tion of -about -800,000,000 and their foreign commerce is worth about 600,000,000 in gold per annum, Nearly all their imports come from BrauieirWlwrKwg.uiuuui, so that the trade is greatly embarr rassed by variations in the price of silver. During the year 1902 these Tariatlons amounted to nearly 20 per cent, China stands first among silver usIng conntries in the Importance of its commerce. Its. imports last year reached $196,934.342.'

. Hanna's Hopehit Opinion. Senator Hanna gives it as his opinion that the flurry in labor circles will scon be over. He says the civic federation has adjusted many differences during tbe past few weeks, without making any ado over its achievements. The labor leaders In high positions, such as John Mitchell, Samuel Gompers and others, Senator nanna says, are alive to the situation, recognizing the mischief done by unscrupulous grafters identified with labor organ Irations and fully determined to put a quietus on these disturbers. Considerate employers of their own accord are advancing wages where this has not already been done, and no efforts shall be wanting to establish harmonious relations between wage workers and employers. The Debt the World Owes. .The world owes to every man a living, says Chauncy M. Depew, proyldded that he has the Industry and determination to collect it. The world owes to every man more pleasure than pain: more good than bad; more gain than loss; more happiness , than sorrow; more suceess than failure; more love than bate; more friends than enemies, but whether he collects that debt, for tbe world holds fast to tbe good things which it possesses and lets the bad; and it is only by labor and energy, only by determination and character that the debt which the world owes to everyone is collected. No Rice Suicide in Uporte The state superintendent of public instruction is said to be mystified over Laporte county's big gain. That county's school enumeration, and parr ticularly in Laporte .always was "mystifying" if that 4s the proper term. It used to have about as many children of school age as there were inhabitants. The recent law has put a wholesome check upon the old time robbery thus practicedbut there are those who wink the other eye whenever a Laporte school census is broached. It 13 cafe to say that inventilation is cot courted, but probably needed. South Bend Tlmta.

Governor Durbin Thursday Issued the annual Memorial day proclamation, designating Saturday, May 30r for the decoration of soldiers' graves, Th) proclamation is as follows: 'To the People of Indiana: Custom has established and the law has sanctioned an annual holiday given over to the commemoration of the heroic sacrifices, the unselfish devotion, the unfailing fortitude of the American soldier, who on our country's battlefields has bravely risked all that invasion might be repelled or re belllon overthrown, and the republic preserved for the fulfillment of its beneficent mission among men. "It is well that a day be set apart to such a purpose not merely that the graves of soldiers may be made beautiful with flags and flowers, that public recognition may be given of the incalculable contribution the Amerl can volunteer has made toward the Nation's upbuilding and that the hearts of our people may be filled with the heroic memories of a militant past but tliat a new generation may take closer to heart the duty laid npon it of preserving an inheritance transmit-, ted by an ancestry which in a great crisis vindicated for all time the ri;ht of popular government to endure. uTo such purposes as d sacred bollday let us observe Saturday, May 30, 1903. "I would suggest that on this day flags be placed at half mast and that all business be suspended throughout the state, that the day may be observed In appropriate manner by the people of Indiana."
