A report of the secretary of agriculture states that more. than nipeientbspf thebemp produced In the United States is grown in Kentucky. For the outside market, no doubt. Another job let of prehistoric bones has been turned up, this time in California. In time we may discover that America, bad a history .cotemporary with that of Asia. . - The rapid expansion of the coal mining industry during the present year Is second only to tba$ of electric traction., It surely ljoks as if there sboild be coal enongh for all next winter. An eminent statistician says that the British empires produce one-third of the world's coal, one-ninth of its copper, one-eighth of its iron, one-fifth of its lead, one-ninth of its silver and one-half of Its gold. The Elkhart Review is right when it says the only thing the country asks tf the coming congress is to strengthen the finaecial policy, not to endanger it by any experiments, or to weaken confidence by too much . tinkering. Fifty more or less influential papers have declared in favor of Governor Durbm's nomination to the vice-presidency. His prompt action In suppressing the disturbance at Evansville has given considerable impetus to his boom. President liousevelt in a letter to Governor Durbin says lynching, which Is a form of anarch v, is growing at an alarming rate and threatens the very existence of the republic. He suggests speedy trial and punishment of criminals as a remedy for mob violence. The Suez Canal Company's report sh'jws that 3,700 vessels of a tonnage of 11.250,000 tons, passed through the canal during the year of 1902. The tonnage belonged principally to England," Germany and France. . The net profits for the vear from the heavy tonnage amounted to $12,5000,000. It is said the late Mrs. James G. Blaine alwavs felt the slight .that the people of Maine stemed to give the memory of her illustrious husband by not taking any steps to erect a state memorial in his honor as had been proposed immediately after his death. For this reason she declined . to have his remains removed from "Washington and gave direcliens that she should rest beside him there. Rufus Cantrell, the Indianapolis crave robber now In the penitentiary has confessed to six murders which be committed, selling the bodies to medical colleges. Most of the men murdered had considerably money of which they . were robbed. There was one wealthy Indianapolis woman. Miss Carrie Selvage, who disappeared three years ago and of whom nothing was ever heard until this confesison. Lieutenant General Miles, . commanding general of the army, retired from active service Saturday, bis sixtyfourth birthday, and Gen. S. M. B. Young succeeds by promotion to the rank of lieutenant general. He will Dot be known, however, as commanding general of the army, but as chief oi the general staff, tbat being the designation of the highest officer of the army under the new law, . which went into effect Saturday." ' The coronation of Pepe Pius XMn the basilica of St. Peter's church at Rome, Sunday, was attended by .70,000 persons and was associated with all the solemnity and splendor of this 'most magnificent rite of .the Catholic church. The papal throne was a bewildering mixture of gold, red and silver and on the altar, which was dressed in white, stood the famous silver gift candlesticks and a magnificent crucifix. Cardinal Macbhi, the dean of the cardinal deacons, placed . the triple crown oh the head of the venerable pontiff. ' Ex-Supreme Judge James HcCabt of Williamsport, one of the prominent Bryan democrats of the state, thinks the failure by the next national convention to approve of the democratic platforms of 1896 and 1900 will be to acknowledge that they were wrong then but want to have the public think the democrats are right now. "And what would the public say to such a declaration?" he asks the Indianapolis Sentinel. Would it not be justified in taking the position that it would trust its votes to the party tbf-t bad all along been right? It is always comcccdabls la individuals to acknowledge errors, but vacillation by political jirtic:; h net lively to incpire confidence." As to candidates, 12 tlnli: t": CTillat:: cm tir net;

Eighty-four bodies have been recovered and the death list will probably exceed 100 as the result of a railway disaster in Paris, France, Monday night. ' " If the half be true that Is told In the letter of the prosecuting attorney of St. Joseph county to the mayor of South Bend there should be a moral cleaning up there. It will require $97,000,000 to meet the current expenses of the city of New York this year. The tax rate is only $1.41 on the dollar. This is a better showing than many other cities can offer. The'colored brother will note that the president has no sympathy with the brute who is lynched, but deprecates the effect of lynching on public morals. It Is important to bear this distinction in miud. William J. Bryan is about the only person in the country who is making political speeches this summer, and be is devoting himself entirely to trying to prevent the reorganization of ther democratic party on old democratic lines. The democratic party has a past that is not particularly pleasant to recall. Therefore the advice of Mr. Bryan that it should "face the future" is timely and very much along the line of political wisdom; South Bend Tribune. It is positively stated that Secretary Root will place bis resignation in the bands of the president in a few days. Mr. Root has made an excellent secretary of war and President Roosevelt will be fortunate if he finds as good a man for tbat position to succeed him. There Is some talk in Russia now of expelling the Jews from that country altogether If they don't quit complaining about being oppressed. "What the Russians like is a man who will patiently let himself be flayed ai d pretend he likes it while the operation is In progress. The Irish land bill, which was thought to be in some danger in the House of Lords, passed to a third reading in that house Tuesday and is now past all danger. Leaders of the Irish party admit tbat if it works as they expect it will effect a revolution in the condition of Ireland. Walter Wellman sajs Wall street now places John D. Rockefeller ahead of J. Plerpont Morgan as the world's greatest financier. The latter still ranks as the greatest speculator and promoter, but has been eclipsed by bis more conservative rival, who has bought up stocks at low prices during the recent flurry. It is a mighty good sign when men like James Hill begin to talk of the Independence of the west from eastern financial influences. The west is developing in natural resources. The east must depend largely' upon speculation.. The west has untold natural wealth to draw upon. The east is developed not' possibly, to the limit, but nearly so. Cardinal Martinelli has been appointed papal secretary of state. The cardinal was formerly apostolic delegate to the United States and his selection as the pope's closest adviser is considered quite favorable to the interests of the church in this country, as the new secretary is thoroughly acquainted with the demands of the church here. " An act of the last legislature prohibits the placing of youthful criminals in county jails with adult criminals. It is said that little heed is paid to the Jaw. however, by county sheriffs and Secretary Butler, of the state board of charities at Indianapolis, has instituted an investigation to see how far the law is yiolated by the sheriffs over the state. rPresident Roosevelt, being a little bit" particular, asserts that b'edoes not think it nice to tie a man to a tree, soak him with kerosene and burn him. Many Americans are not as squA'.mlsh as the president about such things. It is time, however, for them to stop engaging in such pastimes, which are well calculated to create the impression that Satan has. had a jail delivery and that a lot of bis most accomplished fiends are at large.

' New York democrats take -it - for granted that David B. Hill will be a candidata'for the democratic presidential nomination next year. , ' ;A democratic paper which always dfscusses political matters with in telligent discrimination, after dis cussing Clevelanaism and Bryanism, says 'tbe most probable result is the Domination of some candidate who in the various party vicissitudes has been comparatively, obscure, but always a democrat; And the platform will In all probability be chiefly devoted to tariff and trusts, and will contribute what it can to a general forgetfulness that there has ever been a silver issue. In its final analysis this conclusion will be a Cleveland triumph on the candi date," '- Senator Knute Nelson, of Minnesota,' is one of the most accomplished linguists of the senate. A Norwegian by birth, he speaks that language perfectly. lie-' also speaks Swedish, Danish, German and, of course, English. He has a very 'good understanding of French. Senator Nelson, from the age of twelve years, was brought up In Minnesota,' where a mixed population of Norwegians, Swedish, Danish and Germans gave him a splendid opportunity to acquire their1 languages, and being at all times studious, he lost no chance to and to his knowledge. There Is a good deal said about the decay of editorial influence, but it is a noticeable fact that where groups of men gather the first thing they look for in the metropolitan papers, is the editorial page, and the opinions of the papers as expressed In the editorials is the most frequent subject of discus sion. The editorial' page, properly conducted by thoughtful men, is the source of the best stimulating influence of the press. It is the symposium of the acts and the thoughts of men. the philosophy of passing events, the condensation of the Impress made by current history. Elkhart Review. Retirement of General Miles. There was a certain distinction In the retirement of Lieutenant General Miles. He is the last of the lieutenant generals. . The office ends as he leaves it. He is the last of the distinguished officers of the Civil war left in active service. With his groins: out The old order changeth, jlcldltg place to new. and whether for better or worse only time can develop. . General Miles was a born fighter. Against great odds he fought his way to the top, both In volunteer and regular service. He retires, full of fight, at the age of 64, ready and willing and capable of further soldiering should his country call upon him. There is no man in the army who has carried his sword with greater distinction and courage from beginning to end of an active career. There is no stain on his military record and nobody ever questioned the vaiue of his military services. His fatal fault has been meddling-with things that did not pertain to his of fice, exploiting his personality thus making himself obnoxious to his superiors. Iiis best service to the nation was before be discovered that he was a national character, and if he bad adhered to his military duties alone he would probably not be on the retired list now. . Iowa's Corn Crop. Iowa is 'the great corn state, and corn is its geatest sou ice of wealth. Last year 9,250,000 acres, or onefourth of its entire area, was planted to corn, and at present, by present methods, the average crop is worth about $250.000,000. By mixing brains with the seed this value can be increas ed another hundred millions that is, if every farmer will ascertain the character of the soil in his , corn field and use the particular kind of seed which will produce the best results in that particular kind of soil. One kind of corn wants the dry, sandy soil of the uplands, ; while anjther will grow more abundantly upon the bottom lands. By planting fcthe wrong kind of seed the farmer not only loses much of his time and labor, but fails to gain what Intelligence and education should bring: him. . His Vacation Ended. .

" Dies tö Save Her Mother. : Mrs. Felix A. Norden lost her life In Chicago Saturday while trying to save the life of her mother, Mrs. Leopold Becker. The tragedy occurred in the morning. It was 10 o'clock when the two women were taken to the Lakeside hospital. Mrs. Becker's recovery the doctors declared doubtful, but possible. The cause of the fire at Mrs. Norden 's home, where Mr. and Mrs. Becker also lived, is not known definitely, but It is believed it was started by Mrs. Becker stepping on a match. Before help reached them the mother and daughter had rushed from . a front r xm on the second floor to the

rear of the house, their flaming gar ments setting fire to the furniture and . wood work. . . Mrs. Norden was 25 years old. Her husband is the manager of a mercan tile business with offices in the Monad nock building. Mrs. Becker is 64 years old. Her husband is a traveling salesman for a clothing firm at 161 Market street, It is believed Mrs. Becker was making her bed in the front bedroom at the time of the accident. A match which had been dropped on the floor Is supposed to have started the flames. She wore a silk wrapper, which furnished ready fuel for the flames. The carpet in this room is scorched aod burned where she is supposed to have rolled in a vain attempt to smother the flames. -Her daughter hearing her screams rushed up stairs and attempted to to smother the flames, but her own clothing caught fire and she died as above stated. Leopold Becker is a brother of A. Becker of this city and his wife and Mrs Norden were both well known here. Threatened Lynching at Valparaiso. The streets of Valparaiso were crowded Saturday night with angry farmers of Washington towrisbfb, who threatened to lynch John Wilson colored, who attempted to assault Mrs. Hugh Ff Bitts. The crime occurred about 4 o'clock on the Bitts farm, in Washington township, Porter county, five miles west of Valparaiso. Mrs. Bitts, with her two little children, was in the house at work, when the negro, a powerfully built man, appeared iu the door and asked for matcLes. He said he wished to roast some corn in a field nearby. After a few minutes be appeared in the door again and, when Mrs. Bitts opened it, asked for some salt and pepper. The woman went to get them, and the negro grasped ber by the throat and attempted to choke her. The woman's struggles to be free were fruitless against the powerful strength of the colored man. The iittle children, who were in the house, cried out in fear and frightened the negro away. The latter was being hotly pursued when he caught the Pennsylvania freight train, half a mile south of the Bitts homestead, and went to Warsaw. The officials there had been warned, and Deputy Sheriff Mathews and "Bill" Wilson, a well-known athlete, met the negro at the train at 7 o'clock. The colored man drew a knife and rushed upon Mathews, when Wilson felled him with a heavy stone. He was Immediately bound and gagged taken to Valparaiso and lodged In jail at 7:30 Saturday evening. Inside of an hour the streets were crowded with the angry farmers of Washington township bent upon dealing summary punishment to the colored mans but better counsel prevailed and the law will be allowed to take its course. - ' , Bryan Booms Kern. - - W. J. Bryan was entc rtaioed for an 'jour by the Elks of Kokomo, last Friday. - In a lengthy interview with a reporter Mr. Bryan paid his respects to Messrs. Cleveland, Hill, Olney, Gorman and Parker, in vigorous English. He declared: "There is no fear of Cleveland's nomination, but there is a fear that a cold-blooded, fishy, creature standing for . nothing but Wall street will be forced upon us. Gorman and certain other eminent reorganizers "seem to concede that the republicans can settle the currency problem.. That is conceding too much for a real democrat. Judge Parker has expressed no opinion on any of the questions now foremost in the p iblic mind. We went a man who has opinions and who dares to express them. We must know the man and he must not be one to betray the people, as was the 'bunko-steering nomination of Grover Cleveland. "Indiana has a true blue democrat in John W. Kern, of Indianapolis, and it Is such men as Kern we need for standard bearers; The rank and file will not stand for Cleveland, Gor man, Hill or Olney. Kern is a democrat through and through. He knows the people and the people know him. to be a true democrat. . The integrity of the' democratic party must be precerved. This should be the. keynote in 1S04. The Chicago and Kaucas City platforms were right in 1823 and 1CC0 and they uro rljht 110:7."

" An Admiral at Culver." Rear Admiral George Brown, of Indianapolis, is now the guest of honor at Culver Summer Naval. School. For the first time in the history of Maxinkuckee the blue admiral's flag, with Its two white stars, has proudly

fluttered from the bow of launch or cutter. They are few small lakes that have had such distinction. As the admiral stepped ashore t.t the school pier Friday, cadet battery thundered out 1st salute of thirteen guns. Ad miral Brown, after inspecting the cadet quarters aud-school buildings, reviewed the battalion of cadets, who swung by him with the faultless lines and snappy manual which obtain at Culver even during the short and rather informal summer session. - Sev eral hundred visitors, mostly cottagers from arounthe lake, were present during these exercises and later accom panted the admiral to the broad veranda of the Lake View Hotel, from which point of vantage he reviewed the cadets at boat drill. He expressed himself as pleased and astonished at the proficiency acquired by the naval cadets in the short summej session. The cadet band was stationed on the veranda and rendered a concert programme during the drill. Old Church Becomes a Barn. The old Presbyterian church at Greeneville. Ill, where Rev. John Ingersoll, father of Col. Robert G.' In gersoll preached quite sixty years ago has been carted to the farm of Horace Meniel to be used as a barn. When the building was being erected it be came necessary to use a few expert builders who were not members of the church, and before the building was fairly completed the good brothers found themselves unable to pay the bills. The church was then sold at sheriff's sale to satisfy the claimants. The members appointed Captain Asa L. Saunders financial agent, and be set about to liquidate the Indebted ness. He made a trip to New York and Boston on foot, canvassing the in tervening states. At Boston he raised the last dollar to clear the indebtedness. It was in 1851-52 that Robert Ingersoll's father was pastor of the church. Ingersoll attended school in the basement, and his old schoolmates, several of Bwhom still live in Greenville, say that he was au exceptionally bright pupil, a fine grammarian and.inguist. E. S. C. - Alexander of that city was for six months his seatmate in the basement of the old church. Foolish Labor Unions. The latest remarkable strike in New York city is among the jewelry vorkers and was called because one employer refused to heed the demand of the walking delegate tbat a certain workman, a member of the union, be discharged for nonpayment of his union dues. When the employer explained that he considered this delinquency none of his business the men were ordered out. The firm at once appealed to the Manufacturing Jewelers' Association and it was decided to order a general leckout until the strike in the one shop had been declared off. The men, about 1,400 of whom are affected, receive high wages. The matter Is now "up to" them as to whether their wages shall be resumed. - The President and the Governor. The President's letter to Governor Durbin praising the good example he gave to the country in upholding the laws, was a word fitly spoken. The Governor's comments on it are equally so. He emphasizes two things that thoughtful consideration will agree are of importance. One is that the conditions to which the president refers (mob murders) is not so much for the executive, to meet as the people themselves. - Governor Durbin did all that an executive could do; so did the sheriff at Danville, 111. "Legislatures make laws," says the Governor, "but their enforcement after all lies with the people." Any one that has thought of the grave situation in this country today must feel the truth of this. While weak and cowardly executives have played their part in fostering crime by falling to enforce the law, yet. after all, the people are responsible. IndianapolisNews.

Expansion of the Currency. . The extent to which the circulating medium of the United States has been expanded in recent years is one of the marvels of the time.
