Entered at the postofflce at Plymouth, Indian i. as second-class mall matter. Plymouth, Ind., October 15, 1903. The reason for the recent tumble in steel stocks appears in the cutting of the dividend jn the common stock to a 2 per cent basis. It appears that at its present price the stock is not particularly cheap for an industrial. Wall street bears declare that the cut in Steel dividends Indicates the period of prosperity is waning. New York bankers deny the argument, holding that while there is a lull in some Industries conditions do not point to a prolonged depression. Russia has notified China that she will not evacuate Manchuria unless all her demands, presumably the eight points sdbmitted some months ago, are complied with. This may endanger the American commercial treaty and render the much-talked-of-war with Japan measurably nearer. The Ohio bankers have just been through the business of a sharp discussion on the subject of currency reform, in which many very wide differences of opinion were developed. It Is evident that expert opinion on this subject is so much at variance that the country is not ready for anything -of a radical nature. The New York "World refuses to support George B. McC!ellan for mayor and strongly urjes the re-election of Mayor Low. The Staats-Zeitung, which is the leading German paper in the United States, also advocates the re-election of the present mayor. Most of the Near York papers have as sumed a similar attitude. The Boss boom is not quite so prominent as it was a few day sago. His egotistical statement that the district chairmanship was conceded bun and -that everybody should fall down and jvorship him hag opened the eyes and th UilfStahding of his best friends to the fact that he is utterly unfit for such a position. The announcement of Mr. Boss seems to have completely squelched his candidacy. Not a favorable comment has appeared in auy paper in the state. Frank W. Boss evidently believes that-IIon. II. G. Thayer or R. B. Oglesbee, one or the other, is not now and never was a republican. Both these gentleman served as district chairmen, but Mr. Boss says this county has had only one republican district chairman. Mr. Boss should be specific and state which of these gentlemen he proposes to read out of the party along, with more than a thousand other republicans whom he reads out by declaring In his 'paper Wednesday that no man who Is opposed to Boss has any right to be called a republican. When men of wealth generously remember educational and benevolent institutions in their wills, they in a measure return to the general public some of the means' that llowed into their coffers In the days of their business activity and prosperity. There is very much to be said in favor of such disposition of large accumulations. Instead of giving to individuals only, the community at large Is made the beneficiary of the distribution of surplus earnings of men who gained public favor and were rewarded by liberal public patronage. South Bend Times. It required high courage for the most popular statesman in England to tell an English audience that her commercial supremacy was slipping away, that "we are sending less and less of our manufactures abroad whilst the protected countries are sending more and more of their manufactures here.' Again, Mr. Chamberlain said: "If our imperial trade declines or fails to Increase in proportion to our population and to the lcs of our foreign trade, then we sb?U sink into a fifthrate nation." Mr. Chamberlain is vrell fortified with facts to sustain this view, and if he can make the British people see the facts as he does they will accept his' conclusions and try his remedy. " . This view, presented by the Indianapolis Journal, has the merit of terseness and logical force "The open shop recognizes the individual and equal rights of men. It is essentially an American idea in that It accepts and asserts the freedom of labor and the rights of worklngmen, as well as of those of employers. It has bebind it all the forces of democratic institutions and government, and it is bound to win. To say that the open shop Is incompatible with organized labor is equivalent to saying that organized labor is Incompatible with individual li-bts. In tililcj ground palest the open Ehcp the lcadenj have committed ti::ir::lvc3 t a lecicj cauce and r-iil a principe thatü curs to prevail in l2 loz run."

Bristow's report of the postal frauds

will be. submitted to Postmaster Genera) Payne in a few days and later sent to the president. It will recommend dismissals and reforms. The Postoffice Department's deficit for the last fiscal year was $4,560,044. With the help of the grand jury et al., however, it Is hoped that this will be materially reduced during tne present year. ' lie re is a sentiment, expressed by the fearless prosecuting attorney of St. Louis, Mr. Joseph W. Folk, that has he true ring: Partiesare made for the public. The interests of the public must always como before party.' The statements made by Colonel Mills, superintendent of the West Point Military Academy, that the health of the cadets has been very good and that there has been no hazing at the institution, seem to fit into each other very nicely. Mr. Chamberlain is now warning the British worklngman against the 10,000,000 tons of cheap American steel that will be dumped in Great Britain, throwing thousands of steel workers out of employment. Really, Mr. Chamberlain is getting quite into the protection oratorical swing. 'Gen. J. P. Sanger, lately in charge of the census work in the Philippines, says the' government is in possession of seven million names, representing the civilized portion of the native population of the islands, and by carefully compiled figures the uncivilized population is estimated at about 600,000. Some Americans who have long regarded Great Britain as. rich, prosperous and powerful industrially and commercially.must be more or less surprised by the Chamberlaln-Balfour pronunciamentoes of calamity which represent the empire as on the verge of dissolution and its people as in the very shadow of poverty and distress. Postofflce department officials say that if the present rate of increase in the receipts of the department is observed throughout the present fiscal year and the reforms made by Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow and ofcher, officials oi the department have the desired effect the annual statement for 1ÖÖ4, will show a surplus instead of a deficit. Russian and Japanese fleets are maneuvering off Port Arthur in full war paint, and hostilities may break out at any moment. Walter Wellman Indeed summarizes Washington opinion as Inclining to the belief that peace can only be preserved,- if at all, through Russia's fear of Japan's greater sea power. The Chinese commercial treaty with this country was signed at Shangbia, Thursday. The United States geological survey, in a bulletin on the world's production of petroleum In 1902, just issued, declares that the most yaluable grades of crude petroleum In the known world continue to be produced in the Lima-Indiana field. The bulletin shows that the United States passed Russia last year in the production of crude petroleum, and it was the new development in the Lima-Indiana fie'.d that made the new record possible. It is the universal testimony that clergymen reach the highest age, being close run by gardeners and vine dressers. Ordinary agricultural laborers, although their occupation is so largely in the open air, are not con splcuous as long livers, except In France, Sweden and England. People working with wood are longer lived thai those whose occupations are with metals, and both attain a higher age than textile workers in chemical industries. The shortest lived people are miners. With a great- fleet in the Paciffc hanging about the north Asian shore and an army of 250,000 men so stationed a to make an impressive gunpowder argument in favor of the permanent occupation of Manchuria it is no wonder that Russia is in the money market for additional loans. The wonder grows, however, as Russia expands, how so vast an empire can be held together. Doubtless the secret of It lies partly in the fact that while she has morethan double the area of any other country she has an exceedingly pparse population, not greater than 13 persons to the square mile. ' Some of the democratic boodlers in Missouri, whom Joseph W. Folk prosecuted so vigorously and relentlessly during the past six months, have had the audacity of accusing him of disloyalty to the democratic party. This is his answerbreathing the spirit of Samuel J. Tilden: "I am a democrat, but I do not believe a democratic lawbreaker is any better than a republican lawbreaker. Both are criminals. Under no circumstances should our eye3 be closed to corruption for fear that by making a fac3 about it the pdrty night be injured. I have no patience with such talk. If a party cannot get along without rascals the people will get alctvj without that pirty." All honest men can aJTord to cicut a hearty "Ancn!" to these

The Goshen News-Times has in

stalled a linotype la their well equip ped office. Tne Times is a good newspaper and has a prosperous job printing business. The'official compliment paid by the governor to the Indiana troops in Kentucky Is a just recognition of their excellent work. It will be treasured by the troops with other memories of a notable experience. The South Bend Tribune is the only paper in the state except the Plymouth Tribune that publishes the matter which Frank W. Boss says he sent out to all the papers. The other papers no doubt felt too sorry for Boss to let their readers know that be thought he was the biggest man in northern Indiana. There has been a persistent rumor for several days that the Indianapolis Sentinel has either been sold to W. R. Ilearst oj that It will be sold to him within ,a few days. Ilearst is the owner of the New York Journal, the Chicago American and the San Francisco Examiner. The story that has gained circulation is to the effect that Hearst is to take control of the Sentinel November 1. Think of It. Boodllng in Germany. And in the department of justice even. What is of more consequence, It is exposed, which is rarely the case in tuuse press-gagged countries. The secretary of the public .proecutor of Berlin Is discovered so far to have received $25,000 in bribes from large tax payers and others to defeat justice. Doodling, like love seems to be indifferp at to race distinctions, language limitations or political institutions. There has never been a more complete and ridiculous failure of a muchheralded invention than that of Prof. Langley s so-called airship. Scores of uneducated mechanics dependent on their own wits and means have come nearer making a successful flying machine than this professor of the Smithsonian Institution with an appropjiapriation by congress to draw upon. Whoever Is responsible for wasting public money on this visionary scheme deserves a public reprimand. Indianapolis Journal. The English alliance with Japan Is limited by the provision that, in the event of war between Japan and any one power, England will not necessarily come to her aid. If Japan and Russia chose to decide the controversy by war, it is pfslble and perhaps probable that neither England nor France would be drawn into it. Germany would probably hold aloof, in any event, unless it came to a question of the division of China, and she could not get as large a share as the ambitions of the strenuous voungkaiser demanded. However, a war, once begun, would inevitably spread over China and Korea, and it would consequently involve the Chinese possessions of all the European powers besides jeopardizing their commercial interests and would also threaten trouble in Tonking in India, with the result that almost every great power of the world would be vitally interested in the issue. Rev. Philip Kanegar. The Bremen Enquirer in comments the death of Rev. Philip Kanegar, who died in Bremen, Oct. 1, aged 71 years, 5 months and 10 days, says be bad been a resident of Bremen 53 years, was a soldier in the civil war, a preacher of the U. B. church and one of the most useful men in Bremen. In concluding the obituary the Enquirer says: "His was a noble, useful, saintly life; a man of whom a friend has said, He was the best neighbor we ever had, the most useful man in time of sickness.' In disposition he was kind and charitable, always endeavoring to help and encourage those about him For more than two years he bad been confined almost exclusively to the honse. Few realize the intensity of his long and severe suffering. So patient was he that he never murmured nor complained. As a husband and father he was loving and kind, an ideal in precept and example, ne was loyal and true to his church and to his Christian profession, remaining in the active service of his Lord as long as he was physically abje His life and. influence will be held in sacred memory by all who knew him. Third Regiment Victorious. The Third regiment, to which the Plymouth company belongs, is winning fame in Kentucky. A special from Camp Young say Governor Durbin is the happiest man in the camp, the Third infautry, Col. ' George M. Studebaker's "regiment temporarily commanded by Lieut. Col. Stephen A. Bowmau, haying come off victorious in every engagement. The statements of the umpires on Monday were to this effect and were greeted by the men with cheers. Edisca'i Uder Czt.

Who Shall Forbid?

The men who went forth to wage the greatest war that was ever fought, who carr.e back bent with suffering or cold in death, who living or dead are the creditors of their country so long as the government shall live, are welcome to Loganspovt. Nothing that the city has is too good for them, nothing should be stiuted. The happiest part of their reunion should be the fact, not that they fought a good fight and won, but that they saved a nation a country that, rent asunder, is now more , firmly bound than it ever was before. And the mingled blood of Confederate and ' Union soldiers on the cruel battle field forms the cementing fluid. Both sides suffered no human pen can ever tell one half the anguish of those awful years! An American ro mance, stranger than fiction because it is fact, is concurrent with the gath ering of the Forty-sixth regiment here. The granddaughter of Gen. Grant is to marry the son of a rebel brigadiergeneral who fought on the battlefield of Shiloh. Rosemary Sartorls, daughter of Nellie Grant Sartoris is engaged to Lieut. John Wright, U. S. A., son of Brigadier-General Marcus J. Wright, C. S. A. Forty-one years ago and more, one Sunday afternoon April 6. 1862, the Confederate lines at Shiloh wavered and fell back in retreat. Observing the desperate resistance of the slowly retreating lines, Gen, Grant asked who was commanding the retreat. Somebody answered: "It's a Tennessee colonel. Wright is bis name." Turning to his staff, Gen. Grant said: "Some of you are likely to meet that fellow Wright in command of a brigade." Some of them did meet Wright at Chickamauga, when he was in command of a brigade of Tennessee troops. And the son ot this gallant Confederate fighter is worthy of his sire. Lieut. Wright has made a brilliant record in Cuba and the Philippines and is to be made a captain. Gen. Grant could not look down the vista of the years and forsee that his granddaughter should marry a son of the Tennessee colonel. Were he living would the ,;silent man" object to the marriage? No! The great commander who was kind to the hosts of rebellion at Appomattox, the man who said, "Let us have peace," would strike glad hands with the son of his ancient foe. Who, then, shall forbid the banns? Logansport Journal. The Trail of the Midway. During the progress of the Illinois State Fair last week the Illinois Farmers Club, which represents the best of the agricultural interests, met to consider the relation of the side show to a state fair, and came to the conclusion that the side shows which are so prominent in recent fairs are wholly out of harmony with the objects of a modern state fair. They might have gone further in condemning the exhibitions which have been organized to raid the fairs of all kinds. These shows bad their origin in the midways of the world's fairs, but have been deteriorating in proportion to their cheapness until thay have reached the extreme of hamfulness or uselessness. Fortunately there is a decided reaction against them, as expressed by the Farmers Club. Five Tons of Alfalfa to the Acre. Christian Geriock of Laketon, has given the raising of alfalfa about as thorough a trial as anyone in this section at least so far as we are Informed. Mr. Geriock last week took off -his fourth crop of hay this season from his field and says if frost holds off long enough he expects to cut another. As near as he can calculate the hay has yielded him about five tons to the acre, that is a ton and a quarter at each cutting. He thinks alfalfa about the best hay crop that can be raised in this country. North Manchester Journal. v Fair Attractions. One of the attractions at the Bremen fair and at bis store is the display of.Thos. Lytle, the druggist. His store is simply beautiful. An arch is improvised in front of the prescription case the columns of which are veneered with split ears of corn representing Chinese architecture and the walls are decorated with full stalks of corn between which is placed an incandescent light and at night the corn exhibit beautified with the electric display is worth one's pains to go to see. The merchants of the town are interesting the visitors as well in town as at the fair ground. The weather has been bad, but it has now cleared up and a very large attendance is looked for tomorrow. - Statt Dairy Convention.

Pathetic Can ef Tyner A Epecial from Washington says it is pretty well understood by the government officials that James N. Tyner never will be tried on the Indictment returned against him Monday afternoon. An announcement of his death at any time would not surprise his friends. He is In his eighty-fourth year and helpless from paralysis. He has not left his bed since last April. With the members ot his family standing about his bed last evening, all weeping bitterly, he signed a bond for 85.000 for his appearance in court. No one here can recall a more pathetic ending of a public career. Tyner enteied the service öf the service of the government from Indiana fortytwo years ago and since that time he has been postmaster general, first assistant post masted general and attorney general for the postofflce department. The Inspectors who gathered the evidence on which the indictments were returned are inclined to put the most of the odium on Harrison J. Barrett, nephew of Mrs. Tyner, who was

indicted jointly with Tyner, but to hold Barrett it was necessary to indict Tyner. Barrett, it Is averred." took advantage of the infirmities of his uncle. Will Not Marry on Friday Senator Piatt, of New York, has changed the date of his wedding from Oct. 16 to Oct. 15 because Oct. -16 falls on Friday. Senator Piatt had the annoucement made Monday that he would be married to Mrs. Lillian T, Jane way in New York en Oct. 16, but when the senator scanned the calendar he saw his wedding fell on Friday. Why, I wouldn't be married on a Friday," said the senator. You see there was a mistake. We will be married in the Collegiate Reformed church, at Fifth ave, and Twentyninth St.." said Piatt. "Dr. Burrell will officiate, although, by the way, I haven't asked him yet. The wedding will be very plain. Only the immediate relatives of both families will attend." Kentucky Blood Cools in Jail. Fred Feerer had just jammed his wife's head through a large window of a second story apartment at Elkhart, Thursday morning and begun burling the breakfast dishes at her when the police arrived on the scene. The infuriated man-said: "I am a Kentuckian and know how to do things up right when started and I will finish the job when the police leave." ne was taken to jail and arraigned. In reply to the judge's question as to what he meant oy "fixing" his wife, he said: "I meant to throw her out of the second story window." He added: "I am from Kentucky and Kentucky's blood's in my veins. That is the way we do." The judge gave him 100 days to cool his Kentucky blood. Indiana's Winning Militia. The excellent work done by Indiana militia 'in the maneuvers at West Point, Ky., reflects credit upon the state's soldiers and makes the state proud of its national guard. The men have won high praise from the government umpires, showing that the money spent on the militia and the time devoted to drilling and general instruction are good investments. The results prove that this state has the best drilled and most efficient soldiery of any state in the union which ex pesdsa moderate amount of money while it compares most favorably with some which spend much more. South Bend Tribune. Bodies Sent as Mail, Third Assistant Postmaster-General Madden has made a ruling to the effect that cremated bodies can be sent through the . mails and are to be classed as merchandise.. The rate of postage on this class of mail is one cent for each four ounces. As a result of this ruling- four airtight tin cannisters, containing the cremated remains of a family shipped from New York to San Francisco, were forwarded from Washington postofflce, where they had been held up pending a determination of the postage rates for the funeral journey. The Allentown Fair. Allentown, Pa., must know how to get up a fair that proves a success. On the "big day" this year 40,000 people attended the fair. It might be a good scheme for some of the managers of Indiana fairs to make a journey to Allentown and find out how the things can be learned in the way of running a fair to make it a success. A Dreadful Trio. There are three common diseases, scrofula, catarrh and consumption. The first and second commonly go band in hand, and sometimes the third joins them, a dreadful trio! Why call attention to them. Simply to tell what will cure scrofula and catarrh and prevent consumption, according to incontrovertible evideuce. It is Hood's Sarsaparilla.
