Iowa democrats have decided to cast out Byranisrr, but a strong minority is making a vigorous kick. Several of Mr. Bryan's close persona) and political frienes have of late declared themselves quite fayorable to the nomination of Judge' Alton B. Parker for the presidency. How Mr. Bryan himself feels about the matter ift not known. Porto Rico is shipping to the United States nearly $1,000,000 worth of products monthly and buying about the same amount in this country. A commerce of $24, 000,0C0 a year with the island is a fine exhibit, and it is only a tenoning. It is proposed to pay off $300,000 worth of outstanding bonds of the state debt in a short time, maybe this Wiek, the state finance board reaching this conclusion before the govenor went away. The bended debt Is 92,887,615,12 and it will be cut to $2,587,615,12. Dun's index figure of prices, propor-' tioned to consumption, was on May 1 93.561 lower than for 17 months with ose exception. And yet wages are constantly advancing, much to the net advantage of the income earner who gains both ways under the splendid operation of the Dingley law An interview Is printed with Mayor Sullivan, of Derby, Conn., inr which he denounces the walking delegate and advises labor unions to have nothing to do with him. Mr. Sullivan was elcted as a labor leader. Ills denunciation of the walking delegate represents a growing sentiment in labor union circles. No matter what the final outcome of the postofficainvestigatlon in fixing criminality, the developments have brought to light a multitude of consciences that bad an unusual and dangerous decree of elasticity. Me? with such rubber consciences are not fit for public office, even if they do not steal. Elkhart Review. It is now stated and with some authority that President Roosevelt will call congress to meet in extre session Nov. 9, to dispose of the Cuban reciprocity treaty, the financial bill and other pending measures of Importance. The extra session is a mocth In advance .of the regnlar session of congress, which begins Dec. 7. Since the appointment of Mr. A. W. Cooley, of New York, to succeed Mr. Foulke on the civil-service commission it consists of two democrats and one republican, Mr. Cooley being the only republican. Both of the democrats are strong civil service men and there is no chance on the commission for the exercise of partisanship. At the beginning of its next term in the fall the Armour institute, Chicago, will institute a course of study In fire protection, becoming the first educational institution in the' world to undertake instruction in this protective branch of science. Of course the idea is not to educate fire fighters for the city fire departments, but to increase the general knowledge ac to the extinguishment of fires. The Fourth of July advertising committee got posters printed at South Bend, notwithstanding the fact that as fine poster printing can le done in Plymouth as in any city in Indiana or anywhere else. The committee is trying to emulate the people who send to Chicago for groceries, dry goods, hardware and other goods sold by Plymouth merchants. This however should not keep people away from Plymouth on the great national holiday. The Tribune and the Democrat will see that the celebration has the necessary advertising. Everybody is invited to celebrate the glorious Fourth In Plymouth. The subiect of William J. Br van's lecture at Greenfield, Ind., this evening will be "Democratic Ideals" and he will probably deliver the same lecture -at Plymouth tomorrow. The Indianapolis Journal thinks that without specifications as to what kind of democrats are meant, or. ideals . on what subjects this' is a vague topic. There have been democrats of the Thomas Jefferson school, of the Andrew Jackson school, of the Samuel J. Tilden school, of the Grover Cleveland school and of the William J. Bryan school. There have .been democrats who hated populism and others who loved It. Some think free silver the paramount issue and others free beer. Democratic ideals are as incongruous 3 the elements that go to make np the party, and as the political heresies end whims it calls principles.

Five more indictments are returned in connection with postal funds, Postmaster Lorenz and wife of Toledo being charged with conspiracy. The worst of it is that some of our own state people and trusted public servants in the past are mixed up in the post-office scandal. The old

Rathbone case seems to have been but one of a series. Elkhart Review. The Phoenixville (Pa.) Republican asks to be informed how it is that no body can be found willing to admit that he makes anything oh a load oil anthracite costing the consumer $6.80 a ten, though its price at the mine's mouth is only $1.80 a ton. Senanor Bate, of Tennessee, advises the democrats not to worry about a presidentiil candidate, but "to wait until they see what the situation and the issues arc to be." This Is equiv alent to an admission that with the present situation and . issues they could not expect to win. A young man just graduated at Columbia and worth $25,000,000, has an nounced that his business in life will be to Improve the condition of the poor. The name of this original young citizen is Marcellus Hartley Dodge. and the result of his labors will be noted with interest. - Colonel Bryan overlooks the fact that what the country sat down upon by a' million majority was not the Declaration of Independence, but his own assumption that be had just dis covered the document, which, in fact, existed a long time before the Chicago platform was ever thought of and will be doing business long after the Kan sas City platform has been embalmed in history as one of the genuine curi osities of American politics. There may not be any truth In all the reports which come to the United States about the efforts of the transcontinental railroads of this country against the Panama canal treaty in Colombia. Probably there is a basis of truth in some of them however. It is pretty well known that the railroad interests were hostile to the canal project when the bill was before congress. There is good reason to believe that they used considerable influence In the endeavor to delay or .defeat the measure. , , The merchants of Plymouth donat ed liberally for a Fourth of July cele oration in order that the people of Marshall county might stay at home ind spend their money at home. A part of the advertising committee certainly set a good example by having posters printed at South Bend Instead of leaving the money at home. It is be hoped that the people of tbis county will not follow the example of this committee but will come to Plymouth and leave their money where it will eventually get back to them. The Elkhart Review does not believe that prominent republicans are trying to stop the postoffice investigations. It savs the. republican leaders and the prominent men of that party are fully aware of the fact that the scandal must be probed to the yery bottom, and after the levelations already made t he-only hope of party success will lie in the full expesure, and the adequate punishment so far as possible, of all offenders.. Therefore it Is to the interest of the republican party to get at the bottom facts no matter who is hurt thereby. It is announced that the new king of Servia has promoted three men who are said' to have been implicated in the assassinations. This action will doubtless be resented by the powers. Even Russia has demanded that the assassins be punished. While Great Britain last week instructed her minister at Belgrade to leave the city on the occasion of the coronation. If the report of the action of King Peter is true, it is not likely that the British minister will return while he occupies the throne. The supposition is that France and Italy will take the same attitude. So the new government seems likely to find itself In serious difficulties at the very beginning. The Fourth of July Parade. Every merchant, factory and business of every kind is wanted in the parade. We want to show the visiting public the number of business interests-in the city. Every merchant, business man and contractor should have enough city pride to be represented In some way in the parade. The celebration is given for the benefit of the city and its business interests. Let us have a parade that we will not be ashamed of. Big Barn Raising. The biggest barn raising seen in this county for many years was on the farm, of Willis A. Roose, In German township, last Thursday. ' There were ninety-two men besides boys and women present and J55 persons sat down to the longdinnervtabc37 which were set under a large canvass, affording a good shade for everybody. It was an old-fashioned, merry gather ing, enjoyed by everybody and seemed like a reunion of one-half of German township.

" Bryan's Opera House Speech. The subject' of William Jennings Bryan's lecture at the fair grounds was "The Value of an Ideal. " In that lecture he discussed ideas in general and made only casual references to politics. But Mr. Bryants paid lectures are evidently for the purpose of paying him for his time which he uses in

making speeches against the reorganization of the democratic party. After his lecture Tuesday afternoon, it was announced that he would make a speech -in the opera bouse In the evening, and the house was packed with people of all parties. His speech was a powerful argu ment against the reorganization of the democratic party. - He declared that the men who now expect to control the democratic party are no better than republicans. He said: 'Take any question before the coun try and the republican .party, stands powerless to relieve the country. And if the redrganlzers control In the democratic party It will be a toss-up to see which will be the most afraid of the trusts, the democratic party or the republican party." You ask . me how I know. I will tell you. We had an administration down there that called itself democratic and the trusts were not afraid of it. For four years our president, our attorney general and our cabinet every man a sound money man and a reorganizing democrat for four years they stood and the trusts were not molested. Why? Because in 1892 the democratic arty won its victory by funds that were subscribed by the trusts. Our party spent $900,000 in the state of New York in 1892 and four years after we had $9,000 in the treasury to spend in the state of New York. Why? Because in 1896 we neither asked nor received aid from the trusts we promised to fight. .Under Mr. Cleveland's second ad ministration there was a betrayal of the interests of the people Into the hands of the syndicates and corporations of the country. If you will read the record of that administration you will find that millions and millions of the people's money were turned over to the great financiers who were robbing the govenment at that time. 'You ask me why I do not want reorganization? Because, my friends, whenever a wrong is done, I want a republican administration to' do it, not a democratic administration. After four years of that kind of democracy, the democratic party was weaker than it had been before for a generation. "Wherever there is a so-called reorganization it is promoted by the men who are seeking as they have been seeking ever since 1896, to commtt the party to a purpose It does not want to be committed to It behooves those who believe In the prin ciples of the party as last enunciated, to be vigilant that the men who are seeking to accomplish that new purpose are not vested with power. There is no more reason for a party to change its principles than for an individual; and vigilance Is necessary to secure a party against putting into its mouth that which it does not believe." , He arraigned the administration of President Roosevelt and condemned the republican party for its attitude on the trust question, condemned what he termed the inconsistencies of the party on the money question and devoted much time to a discussion of the foreign relations of the United States. Imperialism, he declared. was un-American and to it the country has been gradually drifting since the estabishment of the American army in the Philippines. In closing his speech he said !democracy was never more needed in this country than it is today. And what is democracy? Jefferson said that there were only two great parties in any country. The democrat is the man whereever you find him, who has faith in the people, who wants nothing for the people that they do not want for themselves, and who is always willing to trust them with the making of their laws and the direction of their government. Now this is the funda mental distinction between the aristo crat and the democrat, and the great purpose of campaigns is to git the people into the parties where they belong. "Democrycy means the rule of the people. I believe in democracy. And, my friends, I am glad that the nom inations that I have had for the presidency have come from the people and not from the bosses of the party." , He made some very bitter remarks about gold democrats who now want to be leaders, but we have not space enough to specify them. It is. evident, however, that he feels that the reorganizers are now in tie saddle and he is making the fight of his life to unhorse them. If he has any in fluence he will " help the republican yarty by dividing the democratic tarty. Energy all gone! Headache? Stomach out of order? Simply a case of torpid liver.

IN MEMORIAM,

WILLIAM

In the death of Sir Knight William Scofield, Plymouth Commandery has lost a valiant, courteous and maganimous frater whose presence was a warm and genial personality, and whose memory we will ever cherish. His residence being on his farm seven miles from Plymouth prevented his frequent attendance at the conclaves of the commandery, yet on all important occasions he was at his post ready for duty. At all times he took a personal interest in the welfare of the order, and firmly believed in the teachings set forth in its lessons. He took great pleasure in attending the trl-ennial pilgrimages of the knights with their ladies, to the Grand Encampment of the United States, and was present at Cleveland, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington, St. Louis and Pittsburg. Being the tallest member of our Commandery he was always .on the righto the line and his knightly bearing was frequently commented upon. His brother knights will greatly "miss him on these occoslons. , . Sir Knight Scofield was the soul of honor, and his promise when given was held sacred.. He was ever ready to relieve toe poor, the sick and afflicted, and poor and weary pilgrims travelling from afar found In him a true friend. His ceaseless activity Identified him with eyery commendable project for advancing the welfare of his community. Now. that he is gone we see how generous, how unselfish and how considerate he was. Recognized as a leader in his community, his presence was an Inspiration, and the peculiar charm of his genial manner lay in that fund of wit and humor, which enlivened his conversation and served to illustrate the keen insight, with which he viewed the raovem nts of men and affairs about him. Sir Knight William Scoüeld was born in Hamilton county, Ohio, neux Cincinnatti, December 4, 1833. In 1857 he came with his wife and child to Marshall county, and located in North township, where he resided until his death June 1st, 1903. - His Illness was of long duration, but had not kept him continuously in the house; and during the entire time except a short period before his death he managed his extensive farm and other interests vdth the acumen seldom equaled by persons in good health." During all this time he seldom referred to the constant pain he endured, but received all who called upon him with an agreeableness of manner that was pleasant to remember. He was one of the best known farmers In Northern Indiana, and from a small beginning in the woods, he became one of the largest land owners in the county, and bis residence overlookirg the surrounding country was an ideal home. It can be said of William Scofield that he was a good citizen; one who achieved success by active industry and well executed plans. He leaves 10 mourn his loss, his wife, Mrs. Adelia Miller Scofield, two sons. Floyd and Independence Scofield, and one daughter, Mrs. Mary Heiser, all of whom reside in Marshall county. lie also leaves one sister, Mrs. B. F. McManaman, ofSwayzee, Indiana. Brother Schotield was made Master Mason in Plymouth Lodge No. 149. He received the degrees of Royal Arch Masonry in Plymouth Chapter No 49, December 13, 1875. He received the Christian Orders of Knighthood In Plymouth Commandery No. 26, Plymouth, Indiana, February 24, 1876. The funeral of Sir Knight Scofield was one of the largest ever held .in the county. The long procession moved from his late residence, led by Plymouth Commandery Knights Templar, in charge of Sir Knight James W. Thayer, Captain General to the United Brethren Church, near the cemetery on the Michigan Road, where a funeral sermon of more than ordinary interost was delivered by the Rev. A. P. DeLong, of the M. F. church, Plymouth. Following the sermon, by the request of Mrs. Scofield, and the Commandery, Past Grand Commander of Knights Templar, of Indiana, Henry G. Thayer, delivered an eulogy on the life and character of Sir Knight Scofield, as a citizen, a Mason and a Knight Templar The large assemblage then proceeded to the cemetery where the impressive Templar burial ceremony was rendered by Past Eminent Commander Roscoe A. Chase, acting commander, assisted by Sir Knight John N. Wilson, acting Prelate. No one who witnessed this beautiful Christian ceremonial and noted the grief plainly visible upon every countenance, could doubt that he was held by all bis neighbors, acquaintances and brethren in the highest estimation; and that his decease was felt by all to be a personal lofs. "" As we bid our Frater a last and long farewell, let the memory of his life linger in our remembrance and reflect its shining lustre beyond the portals of the tomb. Henby G.

ST. MICHAELS ACADEMY.

Closing Exercises Monday Evening A Large Attendance and Good Program. St. Michael's academy has closed another very successful year and the exercises Monday evening, Juue 22, were well attended and were of a very high order, showing excellent training in elocution and music as well as in the ordinary branches. The graduates were Misses Theresa Kruyer and Alice Stack. Both had fine essays. The medals were awarded by Rev. Father Moench, Father Yenn being sick and unable to attend. Father Moencb's remarks were very appropriate and were appreciated by the class, the school and the audience. The recitations by the minims, the drill by the junior boys, the operatta and the vocal and Instrumental music were of a very high order, when the uges of most of the participants are taken Into consideration. . .

Jeflirs, L. Kruyer No International Conference. At the recent conference between prominent Jews and President Roosevelt the suggestion was made that an international conference be called to discuss the question of race persecution. Such a conference could not do any good, and wouN probably result in a sort of "you're another" controversy. There is scarcely a nation that rfts a clean record in that regard, and even Americans would-be reminded of their treatment of the Indians and of negro lynchings. Every government knows its duty in the matter, and an international conference could not make it any plainer. Indianapolis Journal. What the Colored Race Is Doing. The Washington Post of the 17th Inst, stated that "last night, in the presence of a distinguished gathering of district officials, prominent citizens of Washington and an audience which taxed the capacity of the hall, more than a hundred young colored men and women at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church received their diplomas as graduates of the M-street High School.' At the beginning of the civil war there was a slave market in Washington and slavery was not abolished there until April, 1862. Forty years later we find a Washington high school graduating a class of more than a hundred young colored persons. Yet there are those who say the race is making no progress. After these graduates had received their diplomas an address was delivered by Roscoe Conkling Bruce. He is a graduate of the Washington High School and of Harvard University, where he took the class honors for oratory. He is now head of the academic department in Booker T. Washington's industrial school at Tuskegee. Mr. Bruce is a son of the late Hon. Blanche K. Bruce, who, born a slave, became United States senator and subsequently register of the United States treasury. The elder Bruce married a Miss Wil son, of Cleveland. Subsequently the Wilson family1 removed to the city. and two of the sisters are now teachers In the public schools. In his address to the graduating class at Wash-1 ington the younger Bruce said: "Nobody wishes you to make a profession of uplifting your race. First, that is a big task, and, in the second place, your race is uplifted whenever one of you manage well a truck farm, a grocery store, a schoolroom or a bank. Charity begins, at home. " As long as so many individuals of the colored race are uplifting themselves by acquiring education and getting on and up In the world it can hardly be said that the race is retrograding. John Brown is Dead. News that a sheriff and a pack of blood hounds are merrily chasing two colored citizens over hill and dale in the vicinity of Lawrence, Kan., recalls the circumstance that one John Brown was somewhat - well known around that locality quite a spell ago.

MORTUARY I. N. Sherwood. Isaac Newton Sherwood died rt his home south of Plymouth, Friday evening. June 11, 1903, aged 67 years, 7 months, 23 days. Mr. Sherwood was born in Laporte county and had been a resident of Northern Indiana all his life. He came to Marshall county 50 years ago and for thirty-five years had resided on the farm where he died. He was a soldier of the civil war and for three years did valiant service for the preservation of the union and received special mention for his gallantry on two occasions. He was an honest, industrious citizen, an excellent farmer, a man weir informed on subjects undergoing discussion, and had more tnan a passing knowledge of the history of his country. His death cance after a severe Illness of less than a week, but he had been in declining health for several months. . He left a widowand one daughter, Mrs. Millie White, wife of Henry White, of Union township, also four sisters, other relatives and many friends to mourn his death. Funeral services were held at the Twin Lake church Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev J. E. Hartman of the Reformed cnurch and the remains were interred at Oak Hill. Newspaper Responsibility. Of the forces that make for disorder there are many with which the people are familiar. Most of themare open and defiaut. There is an important one, however, which is negative wholly and that is the newspaper which encourages lawlesness by silence or by extenuation and apology. If there is any public duty more than another devolving upon a newspaper it is the consistent support without fear or favor of law and order. As to most other things there may be room for differences of opinion. As to that there should be but one mind, whatever the consequences. In a government like ours public opinion is sovereign. If public opinion, which in this country is naturally favorable to the enforcement of law, be aebauched to such au extent that it comes to look with complacency upon violence involving a denial of fundamental rights a first and a most important step has been taken toward anarchy and terror. Chicago Chronicle. Climbing Mountains Is a fascinating and invigorating pasttime. It developes not the body onh but the mind. The Alpine Peaks of Switzerland have their counterpart in our own country, in the Sierras, the Cascades and parts of the Rockies. The greatest glacial peak of the United States is Mt. Rainier in Washington, more than 15,500 feet high. This magnificent mountain has fifteen or moae giant glaciers creeping down i s sides and discharging their glacier detritus into the Columbia river or Puget Sound. A climb to the summit of this peak Is a mountaineeiing feat worthy of any mountaineer. For 25 cents Chas. S. FeegetJ'l passenger agent of the Northern Pacific railway, St. Paul, Minn. will send to any address an illustrated booklet called "Climbing Mt. Rainier" describing a climb over the glaciers to the top of the mountain. The Force of Habit A young lady of this city who lives at home and who, In order to provide herself with pin money, answered an advertisement in one of the dally papers which called for young men and women to write circulars at home. She found on Investigation that the work was that of preparing circular letters for a large department store. The company, wishing to dispose of a special line of goods had written at the bottom of each letter, "Cjme early to avoid the rush." Now about this time the young lady bad occasion to write and send an in vitation to a young man of whom she wai especially fond to call. lie never responded, and the young lady does not know to Ibis day that she wrote at the end of her note, "Come early to avoid the rush." Philadelphia Ledger. The Postoffice Investigator. . Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, who is conducting the present investigation of postal affairs, is a Kentuckian by birth, but was appointed from Kansas. He is a lifelong republican, but knows no politics in the" charge of official duty. When he was asked if there was any concern in administration cijcles as to the eventual possibility of an investigation by congress he said: "Not the least Congress will not want to investigate. If there is any-dynamite to be let loose after we get through with the investigation it will be as likely to hurt democrats as republicans." When Bristow gets through there will not be any thing to investigate.
