It may possibly be a dishonor to be true to one's p litical friends. It is certainly so when to be true to political friends makes it necessary to be false to the public. Elkhart Review. Three election judges b'ayö been sent to jail for three months by a Chicago court, which shows that practical politics doesn't always workout according to the plans and specifications. Walter Wellman, the well known newspaper correspondent, says the administration at Washington has taken a firm stand on the proposition tt.at Colombia shall not be allowed to block the world's progress and will make Columbia understand that it is time to stop dawdling over the Panama canal treaty. Formerly a Chiuaman who gazed upon the emperor or empress while they were being carried along the street lost bis head. Since the emperor's return from Singanfu this rule has been revoked, but the populace has not yet mustered its courage, and not long ago, when the imperial party were ic Shanghai, the streets were deserted. One fact which considerably increases King Peter's expectation of life," as the insurance actuaries call ir, is the circumstance that he Is a widower. So long as he maintains that condition he will be moderately safe, since he will have no wife to excite the envy and jealousy of his female subjects and he can always keep up a pretense of looking for a wife, which will keep all the spinsters and widows of Servia on their best behavior. Gen. Joseph Wheeler settles the serious disturbance over his appearing at a confederate army reunion in a federal array uniform by the statement that he wore no uniform of any kind. He is a retired office r of the regular armv and it is not in accordance with m regulations for officers to wear their uniforms ou such occasions. He was in citizen's dress and the snub alleged to have been administered to him by his old confederate comrades did not take place. The three provisional judges chosen at the recent judicial election m Chicago will not take seats on the bench. An adverse opinion was given by the Illinois supreme court, denying the petition of the provisional circuit court candidates for a writ cf.manaa mus to compel the county clerk to canvass the vote. In a verbal opinion the court holds that at the time of the election there was no law authorizing an increase of the Cook county circuit court bench, The populists, of Indiana, while there is not a very large number of them, will be interested in learning that J. A. Edgerton, of Denyer, secretary of the national committee of tha people's party, has written a letter calling for a conference of political reformers to be held in Denver on Monday, July 27. Mr. Edgerton explains that the call is not an official one, but is issued by himself as an individual in the hope that an amalgamation of the country may be found possible. The investigation of the Postoffice Department is being pursued relentlessly and is uncovering different kinds of crookedness. The spirit of the investigation seems to be let no guilty men escape, and that is what the people demand. Whether the official malfeasance involves money transactions, trampling on the civil-service law, or simply a reckless use of official authority the people want the investigation to be thorough, no matter who may be hurt. Indianapolis Journal. s Speaking of commencement exercises, the Kalamazoo Telegraph says "the world looks bright and full of hope" to the graduates. "This is as it should be, for otherwise there would be no heart or courage to meet the hardships and trials that will inevitably come. Courage and confidence wia many a battle. The faint-hearted have no permanent place in the race of life. While sermons may be preached and platitudes spoken, nevertheless every young man and young woman must find out for himself and herself, the real experiences of life. All must fight their own battles and find their own proper levels in life. Theories are often swept to the winds in the practical business and industrial world.

The Indianapolis Journal says Post

master General Payne is going to the bottom of the postofflce scandal and he seems also to be getting pretty close to the top. Dispatches from Jackson, Ky., show that a regular reign of terror exists there. It is surprising that the state cannot protect its citizens and enforce the laws against a few desperadoes? Censure from an unprincipled, characterless and universally despised sheet, if it has any effect at all, serves as a badge of honor. Extravagant laudation from the same source is sometimes the equivalent of damnation. Cleveland will not be the democratic candidate for president in 1904 unless the leaders decide that there is no hope of electing any democrat, and that they can" afford to be defeated with Cleveland as their leader better than with some man who has a future. A white southerner advances the theory that the negro Is too lazy to ever amount to anything. If such be the case honors are quite easy, as the negro and the native white man of the south are evenly balanced in the scale of Indolence. South Bend Tribune. The immense republican majority in the special election In one of the Kansas congressional districts recently, does not indicate that state will be carried by any such proportionate maria in the election of 1904. The democrats made no contest of consequence in the recent voting. It Is a fact, however, that Kansas will cast a tremendous majority for the Roosevelt ticket next year. Don't ask the editor to write up every work and rebuke a very evil in town and community, says an exchange, but when convinced that such duties need attending to write an article for the paper yourself and sign your name to it for publication. The man who is too big a coward to thus express an opinion is the very one who will stand on the corner and talk loudly about the cowardice of the editor. Of course, the Jews, as well as all other persons in the United States, know tl at President Roosevelt will do all he can to avert the renewal of any such atrocities as those which were perpetrated recently in Kishlneff. The president, like all othtr good Americans, was horrified at those crimes. It should be borne in mind, however, that our government can do much less in this direction than manv of our people won Id like. Russia is an independent nation. either the United States nor any other country has any right to interfere in Russia's hörne politics. It should not be forgotten what a rocky road Mr. Tulloca had to travel. He was scorned and abused and everything done to make him hide his diminished bead. One might be jus tified in saying that it was meant to make an awful example of present re lief, much thanks! The people will feel that President Roosevelt means to do his full duty In this business, and that if there has been wrong-doing it shall see the light. In this he is not only right, but wise. No administra tion that uncovers wrong-doing and pnnJshes the wrong-doer ever suffers for it. It is when those in authority try to shield men guilty of abuses that the people become angry and insist on change. Indianapolis News. Whatever the politicians may think of the postOffice department Investigation and its disclosures, the public is ready to support President Roosevelt in his demand that the probe shall be driven to. the bottom. Information already obtained makes it certain that certain interests have been fattening atrthe public expense. In some Instances they have kept within the bounds of the law, in other cases the law has been transgressed as freely as the proprieties. The President is right to insist that the entire department shall be cleaned up, general bureaus, postoffices and postroads When that is done it will be f und that deficiences will not need to be covered by appropriations from other than postal revenues under existing conditions of service and rates, and the weeding out of the rascals wil be an immense benefit. Preachers Ride in Engine. Valparaiso Yidette: Rev. A. H. De Long, formerly pas to of the Pleasant View church, just east of town, has sprung into notoriety at Thornton, lnd. The town is made up largely of temperance people and these led by Dr. DeLong and another minister not only filed a remonstrance but to the number of 500 boarded a Big Four train and went to Lebanon to plead their cause with the county commissioners. The train was so crowded that Rev. DeLong and the other minister had to ride in the engine." The victory over the saloon element is said to be largely due to the revival meeting held in Tborntenrn izzl winter by the DeLcsj Bro-

Grovcr Get Emphatic The New York World In an interview as reported quotes Grover Cleveland as saying; "It is perfectly absurd to suppose that I have any desire to re-enter the public eye.

me. The Zechiel Ditch Established. The William Zechiel Dredge Ditch case commenced In the circuit court several months ago, running from 'Lost Lakc'Union Township,through North Bend, Township, Starke county to tne Tippecanoe river in Pulaski county, was on Friday established by the court. This ditch will be an outlet for a large bcxly of water end drain several thousand acres of land. The estimated benefits are more than fourteen thousand dollars. John W. Parks is attorney for the ditch, Samuel Parker, appeared for the remonstrators. Leg Chopped Into Bit Philip Roper, a trained athelete, temporarily employed In the terra cotta works, at Hobart, Ind., slipped and fell into the hopper of the crusher, the rollers of which seized his left foot. Roper is possessed of great strength, and he seized the sides of or the machine with his hands, and pulled back with all his strength, shouting for assistance. Jacob Beamer seized hold of him, and he was rescued, but not until his left leg had been chopped Into bits midway to the knee. Roper had taken service in the yards for the summer, intending to return to college in the autumn. Wet Down Your Coal. An accident has revealed to officials of the British navy kthat coal which has been immersed in water has higher evaporative qualities and longer endurance than coal fresh from the pit's mouth. Experts believe that experiments now going on will produce a complete revolution in coaling stations. If the coal can be kept under water it will last longer and be cheaper to guard and store. As the coal burned by British warships alone costs S 10,000.000 a year, the item of economy in all the navi s and merchant marines of the world, if wet coal really does burn better, will be considerable. Let the People Rule. The late Judge Horace P. Biddle, of Logansport, was a man of much learning and a close observer of men. A leaf from his scrap book contains the following concerning the wrongs of government: "The big brains, broad breasts, warm hearts and strong hands of the people, are the only safe reliance .in government. Though they often commit errors unknowingly, they very soon knowingly correct them. In all governments by one, or a lew, some will knowingly commit errors whenever profitable to their classes, and will not knowingly correct them, except by some compulsion generally revolution. Universal history during four thousand years proves these facts to be true, by experience." The Postoffice Scandal. The reports of the .past investigations of the postofflce have at last been made public. They should have been made public property long ago. They show the situation In the postoffice department to have been in deplorable condition. They seem to demand explanation of Perry Heath, one-time Indianlan. Why should there be persons on the salary list of the Postofflce Department who do no work? Why should a person draw two salaries? Why should persons be carried on the salary roll when they are not known In the department? Then there were scrub women who did not scrub, wash stands that would not wash, car fare expenses with no cars, and jobs secured by pull without number. The situation is serious and it is well that the president has said that there thre must be a complete investigation. Indianapolis Star. Bad Horse Sense. A Whitley county farmer and a man of small means awoke one morning recently, to find that he had a well developed smallpox case in his home. At the time, besides his' own family, he had several boarders, men engaged In baling straw in the neighborhood. The .whole family, .-including the boarders, were quarrantined and closely watched. The man could not earn a living and he had limited resources. He managed to get along, howeyer,. but now the county commissioners refuse to make him any allowance for his enforced expense and loss. This may be In accordance with the strict letter of the law and in line with pinch gilt policy, but it is not even good horse sense. It Is one cf those outrages that are often perpetrated by men In authority who want to make a record as economists at the expense of some poor devil so unfortunate 3 not to haye the law all cn hh Eide. -We do not believe that any man should make such a Eicrifice for the b:eüt cf ths public L! jocicr Conner.

The President and the Jews. In his address to the delegation of Jews that called on him to discuss the recent Russian atrocities, the president remarked that the Russian government "takes the same view of those our own government takes of the riots and Ivnchings which sometimes occur in this country, but do not characterize either our, government or our people." It Is clear from the reports of the yisit of the American Jews to the president that while we may. as a people, sympathize with the unfortunates who are at the mercy of Russian bigotry and ferocity, there Is really little that we can do to ameliorate their conditsons. Our government is anxious to give the czar the benefit of every doubt. From the diplomatic point of view this Is the only thing to do. And in referring to our national disgrace in the lynchings and riotingsthat are reported daily in the press, the presi

dent admitted our moral weakness as a protesting power. In this concrete instance of the slaughter of the Russian Jews, we are brought face to face with the horror of such forms of violence wherever found. The spectacle of the people of one race destroying their brother man in this wholesale way is not edifying. But it is not pleasanter to contemplate in Indiana or Kentucky than it is in Russia or Turkey. The only difference is that we give a peculiar guaranty to the people within our borders, insuring them against just uch outrages. We are sorry for Russia, but we must at the same time be sorry for ourselves, so long as we tolerate mobs and lynchings. Indianapolis Star. The Egg and Its Possibilities. That always veracious and invariably interesting periodical, the London Lancet, gives us some interesting facts concerning eggs. The Lancet says: "We have more than once directed the attention of our readers to the remarkable preserving properties of soluble glass or silicate of soda, and it is surprising that this solution is not used more generally for the preservation of egge. It is confidently stated that a newly laid egg will keep for many months when completely immersed in a 10 per cent solution of the silicate, and will then be indistinguishable as regards appearances and taste from an absolutely fresh egg. We have ventured to give an explanation of this remarkable preserving effect by assuming that the soluble silicate forms a hard, glassy, impermeable mass with the lime salts in the substance of the shell,. a real insoluble glass, so that the contents are literally"' hermetically sealed against all external influences! This is a remarkable enough fact, but it is now reported that chickens have been hatched from eggs preserved for twelve months In this war. The recently reported success of tnls method, by which life would appear to be suspended, so to speak, would seem to open up many possibilities in regard to the transportation and supply of food." Beer and Water United. There Is a very interesting and anomalous situation in this city, where the editor of the organ of the state liquor dealers, Dr. J. Frank CalIen, and the chairman of the prohibition central committee, Charles E. Newlin, are working hand in glove. The organ of the saloon men is the Knights of Fidelity News. Editor Callen has created somewhat of a sensation by printing the following editorial: "Mr. Newlin strikes the keynote when he says that there are other things than the legitimate liquor traffic involved in the city campaign this year, and thousands of good voters will help him to secure the needed reforms along those lines. He can count on the Knights of Fidelity News 'every time when he picks up the cudgel for a fiht like that. We, too, are after the illegitimate trade." This is perhaps the only instance on record where beer and cold water have joined forces in a grand movement. Editor Callen has long been engaged in making a fight against whisky groceries, " and drug stores that sell liquor without paying the retail tax. He holds that, the legitimate saloonkeepers, who pay the government large sums for the privilege of carrying on their business, are entitled to the protection of law and the cold water advocates agree with this idea perfectly. Editor Callen and Chairman Neatlin are great friends. Although he talks about liquor and writes about it add doubtless beholds visions of good old Kentucky bourbon in his dreaäis, Dr. Callen is never known to touch a drop of anything intoxicating.

MORTUARY

Henry Bottorff. At 9:30 o'clock Tuesday evening, Henry Bottorff died at his home, 401 North Hill street, South Bend. Deceased was born Sept. 10, 1828, and was therefore aged 74 years, 9 months and 6 days. He had resided in South Bend about fifteen years, and leaves besides his wife, Margaret, three children to mourn his death, as follows: Mrs. Byron Moore, Plymouth: Mrs. William Monroe, South Bend, and Frank Bottorff, Beldlng, Mich. The remains were brought to Plymouth today and taken to the Dunkard church, five miles west of Plymouth, whe.re funeral services were held Thursday afternoon. Senator Quarles Defies Trusts. United States Senator Joseph V! Quarles, of Wisconsin, discussed the trust question in his oration at the commencement of the University of Michigan. Among other things he said: "There are manv who woulf be surprised to know that the trust question is not of modern origin. In one form or another it has vexed society since trade and commerce began. Throug.1 the centuries there has been an eternal antagonism between two economic forces competition and combination. The struggle suggests the irrepressible conflict, yet strangely enough these forces are so related that each stimulates the other. "Whenever competition forces prices down so as to destroy profit combination comes to the rescue by cheapening production. When under the stimulus of combination profits become excessive keen-eyed competition is ready with fresh capital and new men to duplicate facilities to increase and improve production. "Thus in the natural order each should be the effective antidote of the other. Frequently, however, it has happened that the state has been obliged to re-enforce competition." Senator Quarles then gave a sketch cf the world's fight against trusts, concluded civilization was progressing in the right direction, with America a great factor in effecting just rule throughout the world, and then said: "The twentieth century will be instinct with energy, but intellect, not muscle, will be the dominating force. Wealth has become too common to hold its place as a distinction. Its favors have been often lavished uppn cheap men and sometimes there has seemed to be a strange affinity between the fat purse and the lean soul. Coarse, vulgar men haebeen thrust into public notice by some lucky stroke of fortune. Money will retain its legimate influence, but the primacy of the golden calf is over. "Already the scholar has established himself in politics, where he is struggling for higher ideals and cleaner methods. His is the arduous task and his will be the lasting glory to hasten the day when men will be rated not for what they have, but for what they are. A German's Lost Horse. A German citizen lost his horse, and went to a newspaper to have it advertised there. The editor asked him what be wished to say about it. "Yust put it in vat I told you," replied the man. The editor was all attention. "Dis vas vat you die say, ain't it? Veil yet! so!

i 11 ! U L -----,- a mm a: The Historic Old Liberty Bell. The historic old Liberty Bell, the permanent "home" of which is in Independence hall, Philadelphia, is once more ou its travels. It has been sent to Boston in honor of the one hundred and twenty-eighth anniversary of the battle of Bunker Hill, which was celebrated June 17. The itinerary included stops at Princeton, N. J., Jersey City, New Haven, Providerce, Concord, Boston and several historic Connecticut points. The Liberty Bell has made several trips before the present one to New Orleans, Atlanta, Chicago and Charleston1 to say nothing of its journey to Bethlehem, Pa, during the Revolutionary war to prevent its falling into the hands of the British. Disorganized Labor. The disorganization of what Is called organized labor is well illustrated by the strike which was callled the other day on the new postofflce and the First National bank building. Two of the in-numerable unions engaged on these structures could not agree concerning some feature of the work and strikes were ordered involving all tba unions except the one as to which complaint was made. In these cases, therefore, the interests of the public, ot private investors and of hundreds of workingmen are lightly sacrificed because there Is no authority in so-called organized labor which is competent to. settle a beggarly quarrel between two unions employed upon the same job. It Is surprising that these and many other manifestations' of the chaos prevailing in organized labor do not dispel to some extent the terrorism which the unions exert over industry and politics As a matter of fact, organized labor cannot agree on anything. When employers give it its own way in everything it qifaarels and strikes and fights just the same as it does when it is resisted injsome respects. Organ! zed 'labor is a bluff which carries the day, as a rule, only when it comes in contact with weak knees and flighty heads. It is the biggest bluff of all in politics, where It never yet was able to unite for a common purpose and where its influence is no more to be considered than would be the Influence of organizations of blueeyed men, tall men or short men. . As compared With the great hosts of men aud women who work for a living and who are in every way as respectable as the members of any organization, the forces of union labor are Insignificant. Even if they could agree on anything they would not be particularly formidable, but they cannot agree. They divide into parties and factions the same as other people do. Chice o Chronicle.

But politics has come to be a sort of misunderstood term, limited to the struggle for office-holding. If - the orator had advised taking part in the active duties of citizenship voting, shaping principles, selecting good men for office, etc., he would have found full endorsement. But politics as now practiced is not a high calling. ' Citizenship is of the most exalted, and its duties most exacting of good men. Besides that citizenship offers a splendid field for the exercise of all qualities that make the man. Elkhart Review. New Rural Routes. The Postoffice Department has resumed the establishment of the rural free delivery routes, which were held up on account of the deficit in the appropriation for that service, and alarge number of routes will be put into operation on July 1, the beginning of the new fiscal year. The policy of the department hereafter will be to establish routes as rapidly as possible, consistent with the best interests of the service and economic administration. The rules as to the number of families required to be on the route in order to secure the service probably will be more strictly adhered to and few exceptions made. The rule required that no service shall be established on a route where there are less than one hundred families. Unless exceptions are made for some special reasons, routes are to be investigated iu the order in which the petitions for them are filed. 'Tcnnesec's Pardner." J. A. Chaffee, famous as the orignal of Bret Ilarte's pathetic story, Tennesse's Fardner," has been placed in a sanitarium at Oakland, Cal. Chaffee has lived since 1849 in a small Tuolumme county mining camp with his partner, Chamberlain. In the early days he saved Chamberlain from the vigilance committee by a plea to Judge Lynch when the vigilantes had a rope around the victim's throat. It was tho only case on record in the county where the vigilantes gave way la such a case. Chamberlain was accused of stealing the miners gold, but Chaffee cleared him, as everyone believed Chaffee. The two men then settled down to live where they have remained ever since, washing enough placer gold to maintain them. Both are over 80.
