Russia insists that she does not need any outside aid, as she is perfectly able to are for the suffering survivors of the Kishineff massacre But will she? Exports of manufactures in April amounted to $40,000,000, a total never reached before in the same month. Anerlcan sa'es abroad of manufactured products haveJipled since 1893. The poltiical atmosphere of Eng land seems surcharged wltlisurprlses. The move of the ministry in favor of a protective tariff has set all the party leaders wondering what will happen next. ."",.. : , The commisssoners of Marion countyhave ordered yotini machines for the Indianapolis election Jthe second Tuesday of next October. There is a great difference between a voting machine and an election machine. Using the language of a Missouri democrat, we will say that when the leniblieans of this district are choosing a manager for the campaign of 1904, they will make a bad mistake If the harness is thrown .on a spavined horse because he is e isy to catch. It is not easy to imagine how the post office rottenness could have leached its development without the knowledge of leading, congressmen. In fact most of it is due to their demand forbXces for their friend3 and relatives, fur bigger salaries, and for more places. The department officials were largely their tools. Indianapolis Sentinel. . The fellow who has been auested in New York for precipitating strikes and calling them off for a consideration Is said to have ' ordered no less than 500 strikes since he embarked in that reprehensible business. He is a bold, daring, defiant sort of an individual, utterly indifferent as to consequences. From some of these strikes he realizes as high as $2500. Arthur Lyons, the southern Indiana murderer of his step-mother, promptly put himself out of the way, when pursued by a posse of enraged farmers and every avenue of escape for him was cut off. He saved the horrors of a lynching bee, or the tediousness of a ' long and expensive trial in the courts. If every desperado of his class would but adopt Lyons' tactics and take his own life he will be .saving himself much misery and confer a great favor upon the authorities and the public in general. South Bend Tribune. One man of ' more sentiment than judgment in the governor's office, like the late Governor Chase, can do more harm by inculcating the notion among the criminal classes that justice can always be defeated in the end through the pardoring power, than can be repaired by ten successors who. do not let their hearts run. away witii their head?. The constant effort of civilization has been to so educate and elevate humanity that the savage instincts of violence and crime will be repressed, but nobody has yet discovered anything so effective in prevention of crime as its strict punishment. The board of regents of the University ofMinnesota adopted a resolution that "from and after 1904 every person admitted to this university snail oe examined in reading, writing, spelling-and composing the English language; that all who fail to obtain a credit of 75 per cent, shall be required to take instruction as provided, and that no person shall ever receive a diploma or other certificate of merit or proficiency until he shall have passed such an examination and obtained the specified credit." That looks like the beffinniner of a real re form, and may lead to a better recognition of the decadent art of spelling in public schools. Indianapolis Journal. The position of President Roosevelt, announced elsewhere, will meet with a hearty response from all reputable people, If not from the machine leaders of the party. The revelations in the postoffice department are proof of the need of such revolution in political methods The fact is apparent to all observers that in this . department as in others the chief duty of many men is to work politics. They are sought for by congressmen to whom they are indebted for Influence, and they are too often defended by congressmen when they resort to fraud. The present investigation should b3 made complete, and If cccgrcconssa are involved, or if they involve ttcnncclvcaby trying to vrhiteXTZih 0-2C-C5, they should be; held to r:;cu.-t b7 the p:cpb.

Lord Rothschild says there is no feeling of distrust in Europe over financial conditions in America. The entire world seems to have faith in the United States and we should strive to maintain the high position we have reached. The chemists are finding in the atmosphere rarified gases forming not a millionth part of. the common, air which we breathe, but which in their most attenuated state may be the very elixir of vitality, which stimulates, and replenishes the springs of life at their center of action.
Reports from various city councils and legislatures throughout the country indicate the advisability of the boodlers organizing for mutual protection and to protect their business from being ruined by prying people whose sole desire seems to be to increase the population of the penitentiaries. Judge Henry C. Caldwell, the oniy surviving judicial appointee of President Lincoln, who Is judge of the United States cirpuit court of the Eighth circuit at Little Rock, Ark., has retired from the bench. lie was appointed in 1864 and has served continuously ever since? - During the next few years $6,500,will be spent in new buildings at the Military Academy at West ' Point,, which will make that institution equal in its architectural features, dormitory conveniences, lecture rooms, laboratories and other buildings to any of the great universities of the world. European powers hold conflicting views as to the result of the assassination of the king and queen of Servia. Austria will not interfere save in the event of civil war, Germany is not friendly to the new dynasty, Britain does not fear civil war, France is awaiting developments and Italy has a strong friend in the new king. The professional labor agitator is a logical product of the times; employers should make him unnecessary, and we shall hear no more of-.him," said President Walker at the' American Fouodrymen's convention at Milwaukee. . And it surely does look as if something of this kind would go a long way toward solving the labor problem. Marshall county republicans will have a chance to win next year if they stand together and do not sacrifice their county ticket for the benefit of men In other counties. No partv can win if it permits a leadership of reactionists, or allows tne party dominated in the interest of any man or set of men unless it . has a very large majority to start with. In East St. Louis a few days ago. when every able-bo'Ied laboring man that could be hired was paid thirty cents to keep the levee In condition to save the town from inundation, "walking delegates" appeared and tried to get the men who were working bard and willingly, to strike for higher wages. The Tribune is opposed to mob violence at any and all times, but if there was ever a time when a hemp matinee would have been appropriate it was then and there. - " - The arrast of James Parks, walking delegate of a labor union in New York city, for exerting money for calling off a strike which he had ordered, has been followed by interesting disclosures. The evidence shows not only that Parks received considerable sums of money in several cases, but that four or five other labor leaders have done the same thing. This should not bring all labor leaders under suspicion, but it showj that some dishonest men have succeeded in getting into positions where they can do much harm. Careful investigation might have been ordered with a view to a prospective fee for calling them off. Sir Richard Sänke y, writing in the nineteenth century on the "The Future of Irish Boggs" prophesies as to the way in which the Irish bog is goIngto prove to be the regenerator of Irish industries. He says that ten tons of bog pea t are worth a ton of ordinary coal. If It could be treated and turned Into fuel, on the spot, it could be used for the generation of electricity. Any part of Ireland can be reached from the bogs of Mayo by an electric main 150 miles long. In America it is quite a common thing to transmit electricity two hundred miles, and only to lose 20 per cent, of the current by the way. All Jrish bogs, therefore, aje within the range of any part of Ireland. ' Hingt d cn the Same Scaffold.

DEATHS FOR YEAR 1902.
Nearly Four Thousans Persons Died of Consumption Ql the Lungs. The state board of health has just completed the death tables and analysis of the 34,069 deaths which occurred in Indiana In 1902. The following interesting facts appear:Consumption of the lungs caused 3,900 deaths. Of this number 999, or 25 per cent, were young people between the ages of 15 and 25, 2,466 were females and 840 were mothers between the ages of 18 and 40, and they left 1,677 orphans of 12 years and under. The fathers who died of the same disease in the same age period numbered 708, and they left 1,412 orphans under 12 years old. Typhoid fever, another preventable disease, caused 1,217 deaths. The mothers and fathers it killed who were between the ages of 20 and 40 numbered 717. .The number of. orphans were 1,398 and the homes made fatherless and motherless numbered 717. Typhoid fever is caused by eating or drinking human excreta. The way to prevent typhoid fever is to dispose of all human excreta in a sanitary way and to drinkf nothing but pure water, Cancer is almost as destructive aS typhoid, as it caused 1,209 deaths. Whooping cough killed more than scarletfßver, the figures being 164 deaths by whooping cough and 150 by scarlet fever. The,-diabetes deaths numbered 197; cerebral congestion, 1,272; meningitis. 133; paralysis, 762; epilep-y 118: 'lock jaw, 78; organic heart disease,. 1,860; acute bronchitis, 190: pneumonia, 2,766; diseases of the stomach, 41, diarrhoea (all Children under five years), 1,119; peritonitis, 366; appendicitis, 145; Bright 's disease, 1,133; child bed fever, 136; accidents, 2,131; homicide, 36; suicide, 278; mob violence, 1. Rural Postal Routes. Not the personal requests of members of congress, hut the public need will hereafter control in the extension of the rural delivery system. It is well that the president and his advisers should make this point as strong as possible. For the performances of Tyaer,; Machen, Miller, Beavers and the rest are the natural result of the system under which they held office. Political favoritism necessarilv breeds corruption. And the postoffice department has been long controlled by favoritism.- "We are all of u i shocked at the revelations that have been made, but we do not always stop to reflect that the people themselves are to blame in so far as they have tolerated the debasing system.The cure must be radical; Corruption must be punished, of course, and the unworthy must be driven from office. But more than that, members of congress, statesmen and politicians must be made to understand that they, too. are to blame for their selfish meddling with the conduct of the great departments, and that their meddling must cease. Indianapolis News. A Warning from Russia. The czar of Russia has seen fit to Issue a note of warning to other nations not to meddle with bis affairs, as be Is fully able to take care of himself and all of hls beople. The cause of this pointed notification from the ruler of Russia to his neighbors to refrain from interfering with bis imperial business, is the protest coming from other countries against the massacre of Jews at Kishineff and the efforts made no relieve thlr acknowledged distress. The Russian government politely, but firmly declines to receive ad y representatives of foreign powers sent there to discuss this particular incident, and also, desires it to be known that no contributions from America or elsewhere will be permitted to reach Kishineff sufferers, the explanation being that Russia is abundantly able to provide for her own indigent and suffering subjects without outside assistance. . In taking this step the czar affirms that he gets his Inspiration from America where no Interference by foreigners is allowed with internal affairs. , ' Rccstvelt Refuses Passes. In reply to the question, . "Who pays the expense of the president's junketing trip ?" William Allen White says: 4It is a stocky-built man with a bristling .mustache, a font of double pica teeth and a jaw set with a Yale timelock; a man rather below the medium height, inclined to pussy, with a voice that needs a machinist and a vocabularly that needs a compositor, a man named Roosevelt T. Roosevelt, to be accurate. He is the first president of the United States in recent years who has refused . all courtesies from ths railroads and pays his way, and by the same token he is the first ''president in recent years whom the railroads are going to fight."

The Last of (he Populists. Ex-Senator Manon Butler," who was r at the head of the Populist national committee atone time, says that that party will nominate a presidential ticket in 1904. He is not saying that it will be elected, but he merely remarks that it will be in the race, and that many persons who otherwise would be found in the democratic ranks will be a sect by themselves. Butler for a time was a man of some consequence in politics, but he is not quoted to any great extent now. His present prediction will serve to call to mind the fact that there was a time when.the Populists were an element of some importance in public affairs. In 1904 the third party which will attract most attention will be the Socialist. In the elections of 1902 the Socialists of the country at large cast something like 400,000 votes. There are, of course, two or three divisions of the Socialist party. . The larger branch, the Social democrats; polled nearly 90,000 votes for" Deb's in 1900. Judging by the strength which they displayed in the congressional and . in some . state canvasses since then, the Social democrats ought to be able to cast 200,000 or "300,000 votes next year. Fora man like Debs that party would be able to make a canvass that the country would be compelled to notice. But the Populist party is as dead as the anti-Masonic party or as John Randolph's Quids. St Louis Globe Democrat. .
Died by His Own Hand. Arthur Lyons, the murderer of his step-mother, sent a bullet through his heart and cheated his pursuers of their prey after eluding and fighting them off for five days. Driven to desperation when he saw his last opportunity for escape was lost, and fearing he would fall a victim of mob violence should he surrender, the fugitive determined to elude tue relentless pursuers who had hunted him uight and day in seeking death by his own hand. The murderer ended his life with the same weapon that dealt death to Mrs. Joel Lyons and the people of Martin county, in which, the crime was committed, are thus saved the expense of a long and tedious trial. It may surprise our readers that any part of Indiana should be wild enough to afford shelter to a criminal fugitive, but in some parts of the "knob" and cave region of southern Indiana there are opportunities for concealment that can hardly be surpassed anywhere. And in a search in such a region a pursued man who is an expert marksman has an enormous advantage over his pursuers. Personal inspection of the region, which is a part of nature's wonderland, soon explains to anybody how the Archer gang could have existed and pursued its career of crime, or how a nervy desperado like Lyons could successfully elude the search of hundreds of men. Newest Styles in Hair. Newport has just set a new fashion, and the women of the land who have hair enough to make a fair showing when it is permitted to hang down their backs are no doubt thanking heaven for the manner in which they have been blessed. A society belle happened to appear on Bellevue avenue in the famous social center a few days ago with her golden hair carelessly dangling down over her shoulders. Some of her friends thought her hair was especially becoming to her that way, and they tried it them seises. The result is that, according to recent dispatches from the East, the new fashion has been fairly started, and all the women who profess to be in good form will have to adopt it before the summer is over. A RemarKsble Performance. - While Melvin Yarian and two gfrls were driving near Ayilla, their horse collided with a slowly moving 60-car gravel train, the night being dark. The horse in its fright jumped directly on a flat car, drawing the buggy and occupants along. The girls fell out and were not hurt. The rig and Yarian, after riding a couple -of blocks, slipped off." There was scarcely any damage, and ' the accident stands as one of the most remarkable on record. Bremen Enquirer. Florence Nightingale Still Lives. Florence Nightingale, whose eightythird birthday occurred last month, is spending her old age in Hampshire, England. She received her education in Germany and the Empress Friedrich subsequently became one of the most ardent supporters of her ideas regarding woman's work in war time. Not a Small Mission. ..' You will agree with us that to change existence into life, or to make life more abounding, is s not a small mission. It is accomplished by the bestowal of the greatest of blessings health and .strength. It is the mission of Hood's Sarsaparilla and is so well fulfilled by this great medicine that in thousands and thousands of homes the namei Hood's Sarsaparilla is always spoken with gratitude. We are gl:d to cay so much tbat is so fully deccrved.
Hocsierdom at its Best The commissioners appointed from this state for the World's fair, to be held iu St. Louis, make this stirring appeal to the people of our grand commonwealth: 'Indiana is the gateway between the east and the west. All roads to St. Louis from the east touch Indiana at some point. The next two years should give the peopie of this state the greatest possible opportunity for advertising its various resources and munufactures. 'Within the borders of the Hoosier state we have the greatest oil fields, the most extensive bituminous coal mines, clay banks and cement works, the largest and finest quarries, the best hard woods, unsurpassed farms, leading in quality of corn, wheat, oats, etc. Our stock farms produce the finest horses, cattle and hogs. . In horticulture we are without a peer, and we can also boast, the largest greenhouses, or botanical gardens, in this country. "In manufactures, we lead In many lines, especially ir quality if not in quantity. 'In view of these facts, 'we may well be proud "of the sobriquet of Hoosier,' and it, therefore, behooves us, as citizens of such a state, individually vto do all we can to advertise ourselves before the world. The forthcoming St. Louis exposition is a great opportunity, and one that we can not afford to miss. , "It is the desire of this commission that every industry in the state be properly represented, and to this end we respectfully invite and urge that there be a slroug and unite! movement upon the part of everyone, Irom the husbandman to the manufacturer, to aid in this noble work." There should be a hearty co-operation of the people with the commisr sioners, in order to promote the worthy object sought to be attained by the gentlemen who have been entrusted with the honorable and responsible position ol fair commissioners.
The Miraculous New Metals. .Unless the accounts of a few newly discovered metals are like Telka's descriptions of his electrical discoveries, which have not yet 'been discovered, some scientists are getting very ciose to the origin of light and heat, which are the same in their elements and the same as power. As yet only infinitesimal atoms of these metals have been produced, but the properties, of the minute objects arj little less than miraculous. Radium is extracted from pitchblende, or uraninite, a rare and little known metal, a ton of the metal being required to furnish less than a grain of radium. ' So much of the raw material is used in preparing radium and the process is so expensive that the new extracted product would be worth $20,000,000 a pound if it were possible to collect a pound. The single atom of radium which has been prod need has the power ot giving off light perpetually without any renewal of its energy and spontaneously as if it embodied the creative power from which light emanates; The emanation of light and heat continues without any sign ot chemical change, without alteration of molecular structure and of course without waste. This is the result of experiments lasting over several months Will Repent Her Folly. One of the most surprising developments in the isthmiam canal matter was the sudden change of preference from the Nicaraguan in the Panama route, and now it looks as if there may be a change back again. The Spooner amendment to the canal bill, under which the president is now acting, gave him authority, in case the Panama negotiation should fail, to open negotiations for the Nicaraguan route. The Columbian government Is pursuing such a vacillating and tricky course that i. would not be surprising any day to hear that President Roosevelt has dropped the negotiation and gone back to the Nicaraguan route. Then Columbia will have a long time in which to repent her folly. Indianapolis Journal. Lawsuits are Expensive. A case just taken to the appellate court from Ft. Wayne shows that the hardships of the poor may be very great even under our institutions. A poor woman brought suit against a pawnbroker to recover her household furniture, which had been pawned by her drunken husband to get money for liquor. She had notified the pawnbroker of the facts and warned him not to take the goods. The litigation has now been carried on for five years and, after successive decisions in her favor, the pawnbroker appeals to the higher court. Presumably philanthropic people of Ft. Wayne must have come to her aid to enable her to continue the contest thus far, and it is to be hoped that they will see her through. Law is often a very expensive luxury, although we have adopted as one of our cardinal principles the declaration that justice shall be free.

MORTUARY
Ceptain J. E. Houghton. Captain James E. Houghton died at his home in this city, Friday evening, June 12, 1903, aged 3 years, 6 months. Deceased was one of the best men ever born on Marshall county soil. He was the youngest son of John Houghton, one of the first settlers of Marshall county, and was bom on his father's farm south of Plymouth, December 12, 1839, and was a resident of this county until his death nis father was a native of England and belonged to one of England's most distinguished families. He was the second, treasurer of Marshall county, also served as school commissioner, and was one of Indiana's commissioners to the world's fair in London in 1851. nis. mother's maiden name was Rachel Logan and she was a native of Ohio. James E. grew to manhood among the early pioneers, obtained a good common school education, learned the printer's trade and". when his country called for men to save the union he was among the first to respond. He enlisted in the 29th, Ind., Infantry, and throughout the war was one of Indiana's most valiant soldiers. He never tired of telling of the battles, marches, dangers and hardships, and the ludicrous incidents of his campaigns, but no word in praise of himself nor any mention of wnat did" ever escaped his lips. He was the soul of honor. No truer friend ever lived, but he scorned deceit, dishonesty and all forms of vice, and would never uiter a word in defense of a mean action to shield any relative or friend. He lived for his country and was always a true friend of everything that would elevate society and make people better. For more than four years he hal known that he had in his system the seeds of a disease from which he could not recover, but he faced the mevita-j ble with the same courage that he always displayed on the held of battle, and lived much longer than any ordinary man could have lived under the? circumstances. At the last his life ebbed slowljr away and he died without a struggle. He leaves a wife and one daughter, two sisters. Mrs. Emma Dickson, the oldest member of the family, now residing with her daughter, at Dayton, Ohio; Mrs. Russel of Chicago, and Thomas K. Houghton, now residingat Laporte. Funeral services were held at tbe home at 2:30 p. m. Monday, under the auspices of the G. A. R. and the remains will be interred at Oak Hill. Rev. J. A. Maxwell, who was the Methodist pastor here thirteen years ago, was a prominent G. A. R. man and a ciose friend of Captain Houghton is now at Mulberry, Indiana, and conducted the funeral services. Mrs. John J. Smith. Mrs. John J. Smith, wife of the L, E. & W. agent at Tyner, died Fridayforenoon. She, with her five children, had all been down with measles and one of the children, a little girl 4 years old, died a few days ago. Mrs, Smith was apparently well, but this is often the most dangerous time after an attack of measles. Tne death of her little daughter and the change of the weather caused her to take coldr her lungs at once became congested and death was the result. She leaves a husband and four children, the oldest only about thirteen years old. Mrs. Edward Gangloff. Myrtle, wife of Edward Gangloff, died at her home on the John II. Dill farm, five miles west of Plymouth,. Thursday afternoon, June 11, 1903r aged 21 years, 2 months and 15 days Deceased was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Messner, residing north of Bourbon, and her untimely death has saddened . the hearts of many friends. Her death was caused by consumption. Her little babe died few weeks ago. The remains were taken to the home of her parents Saturday at 10.0$ a. m. and the funeral was held atStony Point Sunday. Sunday School and Church. Dr. Hillis speaking of children going to church, and the present idea that people seem to have, that the Sunday schsol is the child's church, has thito say: "The Sunday school is a splendid supplement to church attendance, but a poor substitute for it. In this age of specialization, many look upon the Sunday school as the children's church. This Is a grave mistake. The Sunday school has Information for its keynote, not worship. Its stirring activity, its friendly bustle, its conversational and familiar atmosphere lack the quality i of reverence which is the very first essential of public worship. The best Sunday school for a child, if there be but one, is a seat in the family pew beside its parents, at ths ordinary cervices of the church.
