ADVEKTISING KATkS made known on application. Entered at the posteffice at Plymouth, Indiana, as second-class mail matter. Plymouth, Ind., June 4. 1903. The surprising turn of events during the last few days has given, the posroffice scandal an Importance which it never before possessed. It, of course ic a measure justifies those who have all along claimed the department was honey-combed with corruption. The history of this epistde, when the time comes to write it in full, will form one of the most interesting stories in American politics. The Pittsfleld, Mass., Sua thus gives advice to Groyer Cleveland in relation to the tempting proposition to be a candidate for president again: "Don't do it neighbor. You've borne jour part in the rough and tumble and are retired with a record. We like to hear from you as a guida and philosopher, but we don't want to see you in the ring. Here's to your health, and vour family's health; may you live as long as brooks run and bass bite, but don't let the politicians conjure you." The prognostications regarding the change in the newspaper situational Indianapolis are not particularly hopeful. It is feared that factional interests in the party will be created and fostered by the multiplicity of interest, and conflicts of political desire in the party will be accentuated by the support given or refused by the different papers. Such is always a darger when rival interests get organs, but in the Indianapolis case all declare there is no organ" for any person or factions. Elkhart Review! The Lafayette Courier, in discussing the relations of the newspaper to the public, well says: -"As a matter of fact, the public has about lost all patience with the performance of mere organs that grind for the pleasure and profit of would-be party bosses, to tjhe uttf neglect of more important duties. The "sphere of fiD organ,' in the sense it is popularly, known, is necessarily more or less circumscribed. If it does not offer protection to rascals in its own party it is charged with disloyalty, and to criticize offenses against the peop'e by derelict officials professing the same code of political principles as those of the critic, is looked upon as high treason. The personal organ is a thing of the past, relegated to obsurity because popular intelligence has developed to a point where resentment quickly and effectually asserts itself against, the shrewd impositions promoted by professional politicians who have an abundance of capital, but precious little conscience Our Silent Army. Dr. Lee, of New York, says there is somewhere the story of a . crystal stream whose waters forever flow over rocks made red with human blood, and although this stream has flowea on and on for ages it cannot wash away the crimson stain, for a martyr here gave up his life and his blood remains as an eternal witness to the truth. And nun approach this stream, it is said, and clasp each others hands above the blood-stained rocks and renew their vows to heaven. This strange story has its fullflllment row in our Memorial day, when religion and patriotism clasp hands above the graves of the departed he roes, north and south, and renew their vows to God and man. Today we place the garlands on the graves of the soliers- who gave their lives for our country, and it is well we do, for there are throngs of people coming daily to our shores from over the seas who do not know the matchless price paid for our liberty and who do not know the rule of this land to be The Lord will go before you.' We bow reverently at the graves of this silent army, whose lives still speak to us of sacrifice and triumph. We come not tö Icok for scars and wounds. As nature in this springtime chastens to heal the blemishes of winter, so gentle time has covered the sorrows and sins of forty years ago, and there rises over all the glory of divine leadership, for "the Lord will go before you and the God of Israel will be your rear guard." New Reason for Pension. A new reason for a pension has been discovered. William Spielman or Hagerstown, Md., represents that he was born in 1862, and in 1863; while . an infant, was left alone In a farm house between the lines of the Union and Confederate armies during a skirmish, ne was so frightened by the musketry and cannonading that his nervous system was shattered and he his been an invalid all his life. He therefore asks the government of the United States to put him on tjbe pencJSü rolls at the rate of 530 a month.

Newspapers and Politicians. When the historian of 500 years hence shall write of the United States in the last part of the twentieth century he will be astonished that popular government survived, not the newspapers, but the politicians. He will find that grafting" was common in the city halls, and "Doodling" not infrequent in state capitals. He will find that many writers of the period, men of wide information and philosophic thought, expressed great doubt whether American institutions could long endure on account of po litical rings, bosses and the low character of many men who devoted themselves to politics because they could get more money out of that pursuit than out of any other. He will find that the survival of popular government was due mainly to the lgor with which the newspapers exposed and denounced political chicanery and jobbery, and their success in arousing the people. to emanoipate themselves from professional politicians. Philadelphia Record. Will Decrease Postoftice Expenses. Assistent Postmaster eneral Wynne is how at work trying to undo a large part of Beavers' work for the last few years. Under pressure from senators and representatives in congress he had gradually increased , the salaries of assistant postmasters and clerks in a large number of presidential postoffices throughout the country. As there are nearly 5,000 presideQtials offices and the annual pay roll for clerk hire amounts to 114,000,000 and salaries of assistant postmasters to $1,450,000, a systematic advance all along the line in response to the wishes of members of congress has amounted in a few years to a large sum. By direction of the postmaster general the first assistant has begun to send out a circular letter to presidential postmasters in the country ordering them at once to report in regard to this matter and tobring the,pay of of assistant postmasters within the law and the postal regulations, An assistant postmaster may not have salary in excess of one-half ol that of the postmaster, and it has been found that in a large percentage of cases the process of increasing salaries has gone on to such an extent that many . million dollars haye been expended in violation of law and the postmaster general's orders. The same is trne of clerk hire. Remedy for the Drir.X titbit A novel remedy for the "drink habit" or, rather, for enabling those who have "sworn off " to remain Mon the water cart" consists of ice water drunk through a raw potato. Take a bowl of ice water and a potato. Peel the potato and cut down one end cf it until it can be easily inserted in the mouth. Dip the potato in the ice water and suck it every time a craving for strong drink comes on. It is "claimed that this treatment will effect an absolute cure. The why and the wherefore are not stated, but the process is such a simple one that there can be no harm in trying it if anyone is afSlicted with a" thirst which they really and truly desire to lece.

A VISION OF WAR,

Ingersoli's Eloquent Tribute to the Memory of the Soldiers. The speech of Col. Ingersol,. delivered at a soldiers' reunion at Indianapolis iu 1876, has. been printed oftener perhaps than any other of his utteranoes. It is as follows: The past, as it were, rises before me like a dream. Again we are in the struggle for national life. We hear the sound of preparation the music of the boisterous drums, the silver voices of heroic bugles. We see thousands of assemblages, and bear the appeal of orators; we see the pale cheeks of women and the flushed faces of men; and in those assemblages we see all the dead whose dust we have covered with flowers. We are with them when they enlist in the great army of freedom. We see them part from those they love. Some are walking for the last time in quiet woody places with the meidens they adore. Others are bending over cradles, kissing babes that are asleep. Some are receiving the blessings of old men. Some are parting from mothers, who hold them and press them to their hearts again and again and say nothing, and some are talking with wives and endeavoring with brave words spoken In the old tones to drive away the awful fear. We see them part, see the wife standing in the door with the babe in her arms standing in the sunlight sobbing at the turn of the road a hand waves she answers by holding high in her arms the child. He is gone, and forever. We see them as they march proudly away under the flaunting flags, keeping time to the wild, grand music of war down to the field of glory, to do and die for the eternal right. We go with them one and all. We are by their side on the glory fields, in the hospitals of pain, on the weary, marches. We stand guard with them in ravines running with blood in the furrows of old fields. We sne them pierced by ball and torn by shells in the trenches of forts, and in the whirlwind of the charge, where, men become iron with nerves of stael. We are with them in the prisons of hatred and famine, but human speech can never tell what they endured. We are at home when the news comes that they are dead. We see the maiden in the shadow of sorrow. We see the silvered head of the old man, bowed with the last grief. The past rises before us and ws see four million of human beings governed by the lash we see them bound hand and foot we hear the strokes of cruel wnips we see the hounds tracking women through tangled swamps, we see babes sold from the breast of mothers." Cruelty unspeakable. Outrage infinite. Four million bodies in chains four millioL souls in fetters. All the sacred relations of wife, mother, father and children trampled beneath the brutal feet of might. And all this was done under our own beautiful banner of the free. The past rises before us. We hear the roar and shriek of the bursting shell. The broken fetters fall. These heroes died. We look. Instead of slaves we see men, and women, and children. The wand of progress touches the auction block, the slave pen, and the whipping post, and we see homes and firesides and school houses and books, and where all was want and crime and cruelty and fear ' we see the faces of the free. These heroes are dead. They died for llbejty they died for us. They are at rest. They sleep in the land they made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or storm, each in the wlndowless palace of rest. Earth may run red with other wars they are at peace. In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict. they found the serenity of death. I have one sentiment for the soldiers, living and ffeAd cheers for the living, and tears for the dead. Room tor Every Honest Man, In his speech at Ashland, Oregon, President Roosevelt said: T pity no man because he has to work. If he is worth his salt he will work. I envy the man who has a work worth doing and does it well. and surely no men alive are more worthy of admiration than these men to whom it is given to build up giant commonwealths like this. . It is the fact of doing the work well that counts, not the kind of work as Ion? as the work Is honorable. To the trua American nothing can be more alien than the iplrit either of envy or contempt for another who is leading a life as a decent citizen should lead it. "In this country we have room for every honest man who spencü his life in honest efforts. We have no room either for the man of means wncn a spirit of arrogant baseness looks down upon the man lesss well off, for the man who envies his neighbor because that neighbor happens to be better off. Either feeling is a base feeling, unworthy of a self-re'fpecting man. " The Tribune gives all thsceVs all the time.

A Law of Lift. And now tin marshal investigating the horrible murder of the Kaiser girl near Lawrenceburg declares that it was impossible for the unknown negro that was suspected of the crime to commit It; the alibi is complete in his case. What becomes now of the negro lynching bee and race war, discharge of all negroes at work in the vicinity, the driving out of all negroes from Dearborn county, and sv forth and so on? Moreover, the theory is now entertained that revenge by some enemy of the Kaisers was the motive of the crime, and that the criminal was a white man. The episode should be emphasized in the hope that it may leave its lesson, which is the old one of insistence oj law and not passion to deal with crime," and above all, of refusing to act as though people of a certain col or of skin were predisposed t crime. The spirit of revenge manifest here, the spirit that tolerates whitecappism and makes it possible, the spirit that makes lynching possible which is the same that tolerated the talk in this case Is the spirit of of barbarism. It may never be indulged in lightly. There is no royal road to progress. The price of advancement, of civilzation as well of liberty, of eternal vigilance. Nat' s as well as men are liable to fall y from grace. Why did Rome, a. It had civilized the ancient world and introduced law and ordar there, in the day of its prosperity fall itself a victim to disorder and lawlessness, which paved the way to a degeneracy that led to decay and death? No occasion is too small to impress the lesson that every departure from law and order leaves the community that makes it weaker than it was before, and that the only safety is to abide by law.

A War Ship on Wheels. A rebellion was suppressed in Nicaragua the other day in a neat and ingenious fashion. The insurrectionists had a little war ship, the Victoria, on Lake Michigan, with which they were causing havoc, and the government seemed heipless until somebody proposed that the war ship Ponce de Julia, which was at anctor in the Pacific ocean, should be loaded on a flat car and moved across to Lake Managua for the purpose of engaging the rebel craft. This was done and In a little while the Victoria was put out of business. Perhaps Nicaragua has given the world a new lesson in nival warfare. If a war ship on wheels is a good thing down there it ought to be useful everywhere. The experience of a good many Untied States war ships have of late shown that wheels would come in handv. Some inventive gen ius might solve the great problem by devising a set of adjustable rollers to be usedupoa special occasions, such, for instance, as the dedication of world's fair grounds. This would re duce expenses and obviate annoying delays. Missouri is ready at all times to furnish the mules that would be necessary to do the pulling. Record Herald. Bound Over to Circuit Court. Mrs. Mary Overmyer and Charles Overmyer, widow and son of the late Lucas. Oyermyer, of Union township were arrested and tried Wednesday before Justice Molter on the charge, of assault and battery and for resisting a legal process. They were found not guilty of assault and battery but the charge of resisting a legal process was sustained and both were bound over to answer In the circuit court. On April 30th a warrant to search Mrs. Overmyer's premises was obtained bv the fish commissioner and May 14 Wallace B. Smlth.deputy fish commissioner, attempted to search the premises. Charles Oyermyer loaded a shot gun and threatened to shoot Smith if he entered the house and it is said that Mrs. Overmyer struck him over the baad with a garden rake. The officer decided that discretion was the better part of valor and withdrew from the premises. Prosecuting Attorney WTise represents the state and Judge Hess Is attorney for the defendants.

BEVER1 DOE'S TRIBUTE TO WESLEY. Indiana's Junior Senator Delivers a Notable Address at Centennial Celebration. One of the greatest events In the history of Indiana Methodism was the celebration of the Wesley Bl-Centen-nial. at the Denlson hotel. In Indianapolis. Saturday night. Besides the Methodists of Indianapolis, who alone numbered into the hundreds, there were present prominent Methodists SENATOR BEVERIDGE. from "different parts T The stale! "A program of addresses ot unusual excel lence had been arranged. Particularly notable was the address of Senator Albert J. Beveridge. who Is a member of 'the Meridian Street Methodist church of Indianapolis. The senator'! subject was. "The World's Debt to Methodism. He said: "Among the Items of ths world's debt to Methodism Is that charity which "vaunteth not Rself.

"This tolerance of others, this grace and poetry r our faith is a part of the world's Indebtedness to Methodism. For Methodism came In ths hour of mingled religious bigotry and spiritual stupificatlon.

I "Equilibrium of enthusiasm and form is the condition of conservative progress. And progress that Is not I conservative Is merely Impulse. Enthusiasm creates: form preserves. (Methodism was the realization of this necessary balanco .Their order line Was the origin of their name; their fervor quickened a failing faith. Zeal for human rescue, systematized for practical ends, is a debt the world owes to Methodism though the debt Is forgotten in the universal adoption long ago of the spirit of Wesley's method by every Protestant creed. Let no nan undervalue authority, order and form. Without It liberty Is mere caprice, religion spasmodic and fruitless emotion. Even ocean waves are rythmic. Diffused electricity lights no lamp, drives no wheels, cures no ills. Early Methodism Inilsted that it was of the Church of England, only vitalized and made potential by the Spirit's visitation 6o great was Methodism's appreciation of custom. law and form.

God bless the Methodist Church!
