Tbj Alaskan boundary question is to occupy the attention of the commissioners for a month to come. Evi dently there is much to be said on both sides. It costs each citizen $1.75 per year to maintain the pension lists. But it cost the pensioners a good deal more than this to. maintain the country when It was In danger. Anderson Bulletin. This has been a remarkable season with a crisis In Wall street, which did cot hurt anybody, and a killing frost In the West that left the crops standing. It is impossible to ruffle cur prosperity with calamities this year. Democratic senators are said to be framing a resolution asking light on the statement that President Roosevelt has accepted free special trains, cars, wines and food from railroads on his long western and other journeys. The South Bend National has been Designated by Secretary Shaw of the United States treasury as one cf the 1'1 n tC tVlAt nill VA m .AAlnlAnf r$ n i'uuiij luaii mil uc Ok iCViiCllb ui tt part of the government's surplus, $40,000,000. which is to be distributed to TPÜPtP a tfrrVit mnnor rmH f t Inn A St. Louis newspaper refers to 'the wild stampede toward reform that has seized some Missourlans" but omits to mention that the nineteen cvnjjcted boodlers have cot yet stampeded Into tea penitentiary and from present appearances are not likely to äo so. ' The total loss to the goverment by reason of the frauds recently uncovered in the postofilce department will not exceed $275,000, it is reported on good authority. This will not interfere with the running of the department within the appropriation made for this purpose by congress. An electric current of 20,000 volts passed through a Glens Falls man without killing him, although 2,000 volts will electrocute a man. An electrical expert suggests that it was an overdose and was thrown off like poison. Yet we can not believe that & trip hammer will hurt less than a tack hammer. By tte sale of arid lands about one million dollars per month will "be added to the irrigation fund already created under the operation of the law enacted during the late session of congress. This is more than was expected, consequently it is not probable that a further direct appropriation will be granted. The agricultural wealth of the western country under Irrigation makes a deep impression upon everybody who sees it fur the first time, but it is no deeper than the impression made by the bewildering variety, of the crops. Under the influence of the predominating character in each community, variety of production is the order of the day. The South Bend Times says editorially: It was the late lion. Clem Studebaker who was wont to say that it required greater care to keep an estate intact than to create it. The truth of this has, in a sense been strinkicgly brought to public view in Northeastern Indiana by the collapse of the backing institutions created , by Andrew Ellison and Charles A. O. McClellan, both dead. These two men were successful lawyers and financiers. They accumulated fine estates. Each established two banks, which passed into the hands of their sons. Perhaps if these sons had been obliged to earn dollars, as their fathers were, they would have managed- the estates that came to them in the form of legacies with greater care than can justly be credited to them. The protective tariff agitation in England promises to overturn some of the established 'theories of govenment in that country. Chamberlain advocated a protective.-policy, and a reciprocity with dependencei3, Balfour goes him one better and advocates a retaliation toward those who erect a tariff against English goods. The discussion has brought but some Important admissions. It 13 declared that "the average level of wages in the United States 13 one and cne-balf times greater than in the United Kingdom, while In Germany ws.jc3 ere only two-thirds and in Francs Li?ree-fourths of the average prevclllcj la the United KiEdon."

It is reported tmt Alaska will make a bit at the world's fair by a füll exhibit of what its soil produces during its summer which though brief is continuous sunshine, " :-

Senator Ilanna sa?s there Is no truth in the report that fie Intends to resign the chairmanship of the.repubilctn national committee on account of ill health. - The British Blue Book shows that American wages are the highest in the world. It would be fair to add that American wages have been kept where they are by the republican pro tective policy. " You men of the Grand Army by your victory," said President Roosevelt . in his Antietam speech, not only rendered . all Americans " your d3btors forevermore, but you render ed all humanity your debtors." That truth is one of the largest facts in hu man history. President Roosevelt, It Is said, will not recede from the stand be has taken in regard to labor conditions in the government printing office. If the unions make an issue the cost of hand labor in the office may be puolished and a public demand for the install a tlon of machines result. John Mitchell, the official head of the coal miners, is very much opposed to raising an issue over the proposi tion to permit members of the union only to work in the government print Ing office at Washington. He has doubts about the American people ap; proving any such doctrine. The three speakers at the republican campaign opening in Ohio, Senators Hanba nnd Foraker and Mr. Herrick, candidate for governor, treated current Issues from different points of view, but all united in heartily indorsing President Roosevelt's administration and predicting his re-election. Chas. M, Schwab has announced his intention of lollowlng the example set by Andrew Carnegie by giving away his fortune for eductional purposes. The statement that he has a fortune left is a surprise to many people who, judging from the newspaper accounts at the time, thought he had lost all his money plunging at Monte Carlo. - What this country needs is conservatism in politics, conservatism in legislation, conservatism in business, conservatism in financial operations, conservatism In expenditures, moderation in new enterprises, tboughtfulness and thoroughness in education, respect for and observance of law, truthfulness and fairness in the management of the public press, toleration in religion, uprightness in business, intensity in the spirit of patriotism, vim and vigor in combating shams and frauds, abatement in the pursuit of riches, moderation in dress, reason In. eating and drinking, and a constant care for the proper rearing of children. South Bend Tribune.' The grain crop of 1903 has an estimated value of $1.879,400,975; hay, $560,800,000; potatoes, $132,500,00); honey, $14,700,000; orchard fruits and berries, t200,000,000; dairy products, $450,000,000. Salei of live stock wool and cotton would increase the value of farm products of the season to $5,000.000,000. The annual output of our 521,734 manufacturing establishments has a value of $13,000,000,000. The products of Our 5,739,657 farms for one year have a value of $5,000,000,000. The 10.200,000 persons employed last year on our farms received in wages $380,400,000; the 5,400,000 workmen employed the same year in manufactures earned $2,339,923,615. The manufacturer has fires and strikes to contend with; the farmer pest, floods and droughts, but this year will be a profitable one to both. The South Bend Tribune seems to becoming to Its senses again. For the past three years that paper has been in favor of a machine built up in South Bend and Elkhart to run the politics of Marshall county and all the other counties of the district. Now thät paper thinks somebody from In dianapolis is attempting to interfere. with the South Bend machine and it says: 'It is exceedingly presumptuous for a would be political factor to come into St. Joseph county and attempt to organize a machine, the object of which Is to break the backs of the old and honored workers In the republican party, who have stood by it conscientiously and honestly year after year, in victory and defeat, and attempt to tecs into oblivion the men who hate devoted their best efforts to building up and preserving intact the republican party cf St.Jccepa county." The South Bend Tribune will have to learn that "what la sauce for the gocce i3 tzTzzz for the gander. V The clccing remarks cf that paper eound3 like a pircjrapa from the Plymouth Trituce. .-.

The Panama Canal treaty is dead. The time limit for ratification expired at midnight Tuesday night. A new proposal is awaited at Washington and the construction of the canal wil be delaved a year. t .Autaonues id .Bulgaria neueve tue a a. a t a. a "T" . t a . question of peace or war in the Bal kans will be settled withm forty-eight hours. The feeling is more bopefu in Sofia and the Turkish ministers are said to be near an agreement on disputed points. The. report that the damage to corn is smaller than was fee red is some thing that will give pleasure to the country. Corn is America's imperial crop. It counts for more than cot ton, wheat, hay or any of the coun try 's other big products. The . Indianapolis Journal says Evangelist Dowie's proposed invasion of New York - with a large band of followers is an utterly idiotic proceed ing. It will end in all kinds of fail ure, and if he attempts to carry out his programme in New York he and his followers will get into trouble. . Senator Obaldia, the new governor of Panama, has put the canal question with very great brevity and force. "I consider that the Interests of the world," said he, "urgently demand the construction of a canal, and they have a right to ask our co-operation. The concessions, the object of which is to, serve, these interests, though tbjy niy imply a sacrifice of sov ereignty, are not against the national dignity. We cannot deny civilization what it requires from us to continue its victorious march." Nothing better than this has been said in the way of argument for the ratification of the canal treaty. It would have been a surprise and a disappointment to the country if President Roosevelt had been influenced in any wav by the protests of the labor unions. He is president of the whole country, not of a class or party. The works of the government are for the people and by the people, not for or by any class. If be bad acceded to the demand that government work be done only by union labor or only by non-union labor he would have for feited the respect of the nation. No such division is possible in public works of large or small dimensions. and for officials to recognize it as possible will be . l evolutionary. Elkhart Review. . A Pet Squirrel Murdered. Some of the dwellers on the South Side are in a condition of mind bordering on riot over the ruthless mur der of a pet squirrel. A family of these harmless little an imals have lived for years among the trees in the little grove surrounding A. C. Hume's residence and the ad jacent neighborhood. These have been the especial care and admiration of the people liviog of er there until the squirrels have hrgely lost the wild, shy instinct and play about without fear of harm. - Monday afternoon a particular fav orite, a-fine, sleek, bushy tall was busy gathering his winter store. - I Sitting high in a tree saucily chat tering, he was a fine target for a marksman and Mr. Jonas Miller walked across the street aid shot blm dead. Such indignation prevailed that were it not for the peace loving in stincts, of , the community and dis taste for court proceedings it would prove the costliest morsel of meat Miller has had in a long time. Student of Nature. focsevelt Must Stand Firmln the dispute now in progress rela tive to unionism in the government printing office the issue is one over which conservative men, whether union or nonunion, can hardly disagree. ' The unions hold that American citizens who do not belong to labor societies must not be employed in that establishment. The laws of the United States make no discrimination whatever between members, and nonmembers. If the principle that only members of trades unions are eligible to employment in the government printing office be established, it will not be long before citizens not thus organized will be excluded from other public employments. A preferred" and privileged.claca cannot exist in a true republic. . In the case of many trades unions recruits are gained by intimidation qid violence. If government itself 13 to tzzlzl in this terrorism there will be a condition of affairs in many departments of the public service which it will not be pleasant to conThe president of the Federation of Labor is an important personale in the estimation and in the affairs of a lara number of our fellow citizens, but he will cot add to his renown as ar:i:ozat!24tnd patriotic n:a by un-derte-ir to set himself above the prc:!d:nt cf te United Ctatsa.Ci-

.:Jht Doctrine pi Big Fett A church paper published at Pittsburg thinks that men with big feet are the best, it says: There are a good many arguments in favor of big feet in a clergyman, no matter what bis sectarian predictions may be. It will be observed that a Wg foot belongs to a kind, sympathetic heart, a

broad, comprehensive mind and gen erally a healthy body. The man with a big foot can most always be trusted. as he is true and reliable in every thing that he professes and pretends to practice. The greater majority of sue cessf ul ministers have big feet, and so do all men who make a success of their lives in any particular calling. The big footed man is generous and open-hearted, never penurious or mean. He makes a devoted husband, a loving father, a good citizen, a faithful christian and a true friend. Therefore if you want to judge a man's charac ter don't always look to the size of his head, his girth or his height, but look well to his feet. . Official About Pensions. Oyer three billion dollars, accord ing to the official reports, have . been paid out by the goverment for pen sions since the close of the ciyil war. Pensions now cost the people of the United States $1.75 per capita annual ly for every manfJwoman and child. There are now 999,545 names on the Tolls, of which 729,356 are" soldiers, and 267,189 widows. Five are on the pension roll on account of the Revolu tion war; 1116 on account of the war of 1812; 4734 on account of the In dian war, and 13,874 on account of the war with Mexico. , The total pen sions paid since the civil war in exact figures aggregate the sum of $3,038,624,590. This is a large sum, but every man entitled to a pension should receive it. Union of Employers and Employes. John Mitchell has pronounced very flatly agaiust the proposition of a com bination of miners and operators at the expense of the consuming public, and thereby shows a very level hea.d. Yet that is the' almost inevitable tendency of organizations of workmen and empoyers. When a few men controlling such organizations get to gether to bargain on the subject cf wages, it is the most natural thing in the world for them to forego expen sive fighting and fix the matter up to their own profit at the expense of the third party not represented in the conference the consumer. Indianapolis Journal. Why John Bull Can Buy. The American statistician points with pride to the excess of our exports over imports as a sign that we sell more than we buy; but the Briton re gards with equanimity an enormous excess of imports over exports, which averages $800,000,000 a year. He Is able, however, to point to an annual income from foreign invest ments of over $300,000,000 and to the earnings of $450,000,000 of the British merchant fleet engaged In the foreign trade, which last is a very significant item. With this handsome income from abroad Great Britain can afford to be the best customer of the rest of the world Will Sink Oil Wells. Peter Hack, a well known farmer residing in Springfield township, north of LaPorte, has decided to bore for oil on bis farm, and last week be was in Chicago, where he ordered the necessary outfit to begin the work.

The editor of the Saturday Evening Post being in an extremely caustic mood when writing his editorials for the issue of Aug. 29, gave the follow ing which is' too good to be allowed to go down without reproduction that all may read it. 'It is most gratifying to hear the voices of lawyers, both those still In the ranks and those who have been elevated to the bench, loud in denunciation of lynching and in urging that the public conscience be quickened." It would be still more gratifying if these gentlemen learned, in the taw went on from castigations of the peo ple to self-examination and self-casti-gation. Justice is the dreaxi of humanity through all the ages. And to the lawyers as to no other class, and in fact to all other classes combined, nas humanity looked with hope and trust for the realization of that dream. Yet what do we find? These same lawyers, instead of plan ning to make broad and -level, plain and toll-less the road between the wronged man and his rights, between the wronger and his dues, have plan ned and still plan that road on lines that a landscape gardener might envy. And at every turning, In every dense thicket through which it lends, or rather wanders vaguely, they have set up a toll gate. Courts thronged with lawyers; legislatures and congresses swarming with lawyers; statute books never out of the custody of law yers; the entire machinery of justice in the poseesslon of lawyers and lawyers have the face to standi Jn bland self-righteousness, waxing wroth over sins which are in -large measure the result of their own passions for hairsplittings, and for fe." .'. To this let me add that In our own state during the legislature of 1897 was to be seen the spectacle of a chief justice of the supreme court urging the passage of reform laws to curb minor officers, as a blind to his urging of a law to increase the pay of supreme court justices from five thousand dolbrs per year to ten thousand dollars, and while he failed in the main object he succeeded in increasing the salary to six thousand, five hundred dollars per year and that too in the face of the fact that the best jurists of the state were falling over each other to get the place at the lowest named salary..: And this is only one of a hundred parallel to it I might mention. , Citizen.

UNCLE SAM A NABOB As a Money-MiKer He Beats All the Napoleons of Finance, and Clears $2.21 Every Second. That the cost of the government is eaily increasing, and that, in spite of this increasing cost, the United States Is able, after paying every bill, to put aside more cash each night at the close of business than it did on the corresponding day, last year orthe pear before that, are easily demonstrated by an analysts of the daily balance sheet issued by the secretary of the treasury. One of the clever statisticians of Washington took the statement of of September 16 last, which was typical of the whole series of the fall seacon, and made some Interesting deductions. The statement, which sets forth the transactions of an ordinary day, shows that the total receipts of the government from all sources for that day were 12,050,836.55, and that the total expenses of that day were $1,830,000, thus leaving a balance of receipts over expenditures In the treasury of $190,836.55. In other words, the government collected nearly $200,000 more than it had any immediate need for. The oollectlons for the day were at the rate of $84,201. 52 an hour for the twenty-four hours, which means that every minute there poured into its strong boxes from the pockets of the people $1403.36, or $23.39 a second. On the same, day the United States paid out on an average every hour $76,250 in order to keep the wheels of gevernment going.
