Plymouth, Ind., October 15. 1903.: A CONTEMPTIBLE BULLD02ER - Such statements from a newspaper which pretends tu be republican in its politics and such tactics toward a man who is honorable are contemptible in t he extreme. The editor who uses his paper or permits It to he used for such purposes Is lacking in those courtesies which are supposed to govern good newspapers and displays a quality of smailness so diminutive that nothing sufficiently, insignificant can be discovered with which to compare it. South Btnd Tribune. The above is the comment which the South Bend Tribune makes on an editorial from the Plymouth Tribune in wliich we said that the egotistical statement made by Mr. Boss that the district chairmanship was conceded him seemed to have squelched his candidacy. -The unadulterated gall of the South Bend Tribune surpasses anything we have eyer seen. It seems that any editot with two ideas above an Idiot would have seen that his own language that -'The editor who uses his paper or permits Jt to be used for such purposes," abusing a contemporary for opposing a candidate, "is lacking in those courtesies which are supposed to govern good newspapers." The pigmy, who thinks be edits the South Bend Tribune seems to have lost hi3 head entirely. It is only a few weeks ago that he made a bitter and uncalled for attack on all the supporters of Senator Beve ridge in Indiana because a democratic paper intimated that somebody was trying to Interfere with the Tribune's machine. The Tribune's machine has been sending all sorts of statemente to Indianapolis papers and is terribly, iucensed because the Plymouth Tribune was not deceiyed by the machine's hypocrisy. The Plymouth Tribunejs a republican paper it stands by. republican principles, oppoces snap conventions, demands fair play in politics and be lieves that men who are republicans from principle and for the best wel fare of the country should be placed in command. For more than a year the ring of which the South Bend Tribune s a member, has been trying to crush our paper. During that time we have pursued the even tenor of our way and promulgated more true republican doc trine tbantbe South Bend Tribune would give its readers in a thousand years under its present management, and we shall continue to preach re publican doctrine until all papers, which like the Tribune, oppose gov ernment by the people are converted or brushed out of the way. THE INDIANAPOLIS ELECTION Holtzman, democrat, was elected y - mayor of Indianapolis Tuesday, but it was nut a democratic victory. Mr, Bookwalter refused to let bis, party pass on his candidacy Id a nominating convention. It wanted to do this so much that a petition signed by more than 2,000 of the best republicans of Indianapolis was presented asking that the snap convention called more than six months before the day of election be postponed long enough to give the members of the republican party a chance to bring out some other can v didate if they wished to do so, but these men were. told that tbi3 would notbe permitted, that the "snap" Trould come of on time "arid you will Tote for the candidate too." These machine bull dozers now see the result. The republican party was crganized by the people and for the people and any men or set of men who tet up a machine to deprive the peo ple of any chance to cast their vote3 Z3 they choose are not republicans TboucarTd3 of Indianapolis republicans come ot whoia were republican leaders tcforethe machine men were bora,' re faeed to submit.

Two rural routes from Tippecanoe

have been changed to. Argos for the purpose of increasing the salary of the Argos postmaster. Uncle Sam's open ports in ' China, safe guarded by treaty with that country, will be kept open, no matter what diplomatic juggliDg may be atempted. The columns of the newspapers fur nish evidence that the president's coming message to congress is all in be hands of the Washington corre spondents. 4 Colombia is getting in line to ne gotiate another treaty. Well, its representatives ought to have a pretty good understanding of our terms by his time. Representative Grosvenor of Ohio says the republican majojities in bis state depend upon the number of mis takes Tom L. Johnson will make before the election. Last year the republicans carried 123 towns in Connecticut. Tnelr score this year is 124. The gain is not sensational, but 'twill serve. A large gain would make it nearly unanimous. Steady improvement of the navy is one of the necessities of the United States as a result of its Important po sition on the Pacific ocean and its acquirement of open ports in China by treaty. Now that the right Hon. Joe Cham berlain, has reached the conclusion that Cobden is a dead one, how long will it be until he gives up the singlebarreled eyeglass habit in deference to the American Invasion? Logansport Journal. The Wabash River Improvement as sociation is issuing in pamphlet form a report of the proceedings of the recent convention in Terre Haute. The book will be valuable for reference and contains information that is likely to aid .the association in securing recogni tion in congress. The general council of the Evangel ical Lutheran church in session at Morristown took- strong ground against divorces, declaring that di vorce is "a crime against God that cannot be mitigated or apologized for by auy defects uf the civil laws or any lowering of the standard prescribed in God 's word." - Great men will differ: Here's Gov-f ernor Durbin saying tnat it was a favoring Providence that flung an ocean between tne continent we occupy and the source of American civilization just after Andrew Cam igie wished It was a prairie. The Govern-1 or's view, perhaps, based on the theory that whatever it is best, is supported by the physical facts, however. A voice from the tombs comes in the form of an interview with Hon. John H. Reagan, ex-member of the United States Congress, ex-member of the Confederate Congress, ex-postmaster general of the Confederate States, and "ex'several officers. Mr. Reagan, who has just entered on bis eighty-sixth year, sees nothing ahead of the United States but the black ness of darkness. He predicts the fall of the Republic, followed by a monarchy, and thinks that when the final break-up comes Texas will be the hope of the world. A meeting of the representatives of the Blackfeet tribe of Indians and of the Sioux tribe was held a few days ago at the Blackfeet's reservation -; in Montana. This gathering was the result of the accidental meeting of the representatives of these twu tribes in Washington about a year ago. The Siouxs visited the -Blackfeet tribe for a peace conference. They talked over the wars between the two tribes and displayed the scars which each had received in conflict with ' the other. .After some days they resolved to "bury the hatchet" and henceforth for all time to live in peace. These tribes are acquiring civilized habits and are manifesting a spirit which shows the offect of Christian civilization upon them. As an .expression of their brotherly feeling, the Blackfeet presented the Sioux tribe with two carloads of - horses, numbering fortyfive, and a large quantity of blankets and clothing. . Prof, C. G. Hopklnson, .who has been experimenting with wheat growing in Illinois, shows that the soil can be strengthened and it fertility greatly increased by growing crops instead of decreasing its fertility. The experiments were cooducted at Cutler, Odin, Vienna and Mascoutah, in Illinois,, and the methods employed are simple ones, lying within easy reach of farmers everywhere. In general, they consist of a crop rotation, which includes a liberal use of the legumes clover, cow peas, soy beans, yetch, etc. which supply nitgen to the soil, and generous applications of phosphorus and potccium, and, where the soil 13 acid, the employment cf lime la quantities varying with the decree cf acidity in- the soil treated.

Former President Cleveland, who is getting too old to enjoy long trips," has paid the Commercial Club of Chicago the compliment of going to that city to speak at its banquet tonight.

Washington authoritie fear -.war may bieak out at any moment in the Tar East, but du not believe either France or England would -be drawn into it, while America would certainly hold aloof. One of the most regrettable things about the strained relations of Russia and Japan in the East is the opportunity given to the "fake" news bureau at Shanghala to begin to grind out woolly stories. It is able to give the press agency of the Macedonian committee a close race. The latest election returns from Indianapolis show that Bookwalter was beaten about 850 votes. His heaviest losses were in the staunchest republican precincts. It Is believed that the remainder of the republican ticket is elected but it will require the otffcial count to determine the result. George Graham Vest, for 36 years United States senator from Missouri, Is dying at the home of his daughter in St. Louis. He is making the same gallant fight for life that always marked his battles in public life. But the fight is a losing one, and the brilliant mind that swayed the senate is slowly but surely fading away. A few years ago there was considerable comment on the fact that the Russian government, had "salted down" an emergency fund of $400,000,000 to be used in ''case of war. Now it is discovered to have dwindled to considerably less than half the amount named, and the Czar has appointed a commission to investigate the matter. The lack of an ample war fund may tend to bring about a peaceable solution of the Manchurian question. According to the latest census, in the spring of 1903, the population of London within the bounds of the metropolitan police district was 6,580,616, an increase of 307,746 over April, 1901. The population has doubled within the last fifty years, being 2.363,274 by the census of 1851. The city is now fourteen miles in length eight miles in breadth and covers 122 square miles of ground. There are 8,000 streets, which, if continuous, would furrn a line 7,000 miles long; 571,768 registered buildings,, 1,019,546 resi dences and tenements, 1,500 churches and 14,353 saloons, or one saloon to every 460 Inhabitants. "The statement of the government postofflce department giving the re celpts at fifty of the largest postofflces in the country for the month of September shows the total to be $5,509,492, a gain of nearly 9 per cent, over the receipts for the same month last year. New York's receipts were $1,'153,161, a gain of 7 percent.; Chicago, $938,875, a gain of 10 percent,? Phila delphia, $416,182, a gain of 12 per cent., and Boston, $330,003, a gain of 2 per cent. The largest gain wa3 made at Omaha, Neb., where the receipts were $44,057, which is 21 percent. more than the receipts for September 1902. This is a wholesome sign. Hon. C. H. Dietrich, United States senator from Nebraska, and member of the senate committee on public lands, has iust concluded a four months' visit to Alaska. His object in visiting the territory was to familiar ize himself with the conditions there. He does not attach much importance to the glowing reports of Alaska !s great agricultural possibilities that have been heralded for years past Senator Dietrich says that the" many thousands of dollars expeuded at the government agricultural experiment station at Sitka have not established any facts sbout.the agricultral possibilities of the the territory that have not been known for fifty years. Uncle Joe Cannon has been telling some of the Wall street speculators that the quotations or the New York stock exchange are not a trustworthy barometer of the financial condition of the country. This is correct. While most of the country's speculative properties have 'oeen falling, as. meas ured by the prices on that bourse, the West 13 highly prosperous, and is be coming more so. Most of the coun try's great industries are thriving. The railroads have more business than they can bandle readily. There are not cars or locomotives enough on he big trsnk lines to enable them to do all the work that 13 offered to them, and the shops are not able to turn out rolling stock quick enough to meet the demands. Wall street may be shaky, but the country's great indus tries are all right. A Ycna:n to Gtr.tral Ccr.errr.es.

Gucww From the Outside. Here is an Incomplete list of the people - who make guesses from the outside. The minister who overhears a policeman talking about some levee resort and who then tells his congregation that women's clubs are addicted to cocktails and cigarettes. The reformer who frequents radical meetings and who comes to the conclusion that the capitalists of the United States are sitting about a green baize table conspiring against the education and elevation of the working class. The business man who reads a chance editorial in an anarchistic paper andwho becomes convinced that trade union and socialist agitators are organizing a subterranean conspiracy for the purpose of despoiling and perhaps, guillotining all persons who now ow property. : The socialist who reads the newspaper accounts of a few sermons against socialism and who announces to the world that ministers are Jtjfpocrites and grafters" and that they be entered into a conscious conspiracy with capitalism to maintain the present roclal system and to share the profits.

The temperance lecturer who folows the cartoons in the Ram's Horn and who seems when he is on the platorm to believe that the chief feature of e.verv saloon is a little razored rhilri oo begging father to put down his glass of distilled damnation and come home o his starving family. The college boy who knows that the members of his own fraternity are as helplessly innocent as lambs but who can't believe that the members of other fraternities are in the same predicament and who, therefore, hates to go to bed becanse he can just see those other fellows gathering around the oaks on the campus and laying horrid plots. The man who has never been inside i newspaper office, but who never beieves anything he sees in the newspa pers because, as he says with a knowng look, "You can't fool me." Chi cago Tribune. Russia, China and Japan. Russia has carried out in good faith her assurance that Manchurfa should be open to American t rade. ' Any other course on the part of the government of the czar would be preposterous. Russia needs American manufactures n the Russianization of the vast ter ritory which, but for her enterprise, would remain barbarous and sterile. In the construction of the railways which are converting deserts into gar dens, making mines accessible to the miner, tunneling mountains and bridging rivers, American material and skill are being freely applied. It is not our affair to sit in judg ment upon the intrigues by which China and Russia are endeavoring to outwit each other in a struggle from which civilization Is destined to de rive vast benefit. Russia is ding everything which we have a right to ask, and is showing a sagacity and breadth . never evinced by China, a spirit of civilization alien to her tra ditions. No pretext remains for American interference In the contentions of the orient. All we" have to do is to mind our own business and make the most of the expanding advantages which progress in every part of the world Is bringing to our industry. Chicago Chronicle. Our State Militia. The Indianapolis Journal, referring to the splendid record made by In diana's militia In the Kentucky army maneuvers, which reflect great credil on the state, sicmifirantip a-c "How much docs the state of Indiana do for the organization that protects i so efficiently at home and wins for it such gratifying fame abroad? Mighty little! Appropriations for mainten ance that look utterly insignifican when compared with those of some of the other states, permission to hustle for their own funds for armories, and an outburst of newspaper intolerance such as the paragraph on militiamen that smoke cigarettes, first printed by an obscure Indianapolis publication and reprinted in nearly half the news papers of the state these are about all this splendid militia organization gets. The state owes a big debt of gratitude to the officers and men whose enthusiasm, patriotism and patient work, very largely unappreciat ed by the public, have given it, at al most no expense of money, a citizen soldiery that measures up most favor ably with those of other states, and has nothing whatever to be ashamed of when thrown In contact' with the regular nrmy. . : Whut. 'Locks Well. " Wheat never looked better at this time of year than it does now. Most all the cropwas in the ground prior to the late rains, and the moist ground and warm weather have caused It to spring up quickly and already the fields are green ' with a luxuriant growth of the young plant. A large acreage of wheat has been planted and with a few more vreeks of season able weather It will present a fine prospect aud enter the winter in goo condition.

To MaXe Better . Farmers. - ' ', . Dves' the boy who goes from city ife to live in the country have more

to learn than the boy from the coun try has, to learn upon entering city Ife? ; Professor Willet M. nays; of the University of Minnesota, in an article on 4,Our Farmer Youth and the Public Schools," in the Review of Reviews for October, answers this question anirmativel'. ne contends that our schools as now organized have been a potent In fluence In leading the American peo pie from' the farm to the city; that because our scheme of education has taught of city things rather than of country things it has discredited farmng and the farm home. The government has made liberal homestead and land laws to encourage our present system of medium farms, each managed by its owner. Pro fessor Hays insists that to maintain his system at its best, and to prevent its becoming "a system of very small farms inhabited by mere peasants, or a system of very large farms owned by the wealthy and worked by hired ser vants," our government must spend more money for the special education of the farmer. It must be admitted that our farm system is changing in some regions toward smaller holdings and in other arid remoter localities toward larger farms. It must be admitted also that the superior educational facilities in towns aud cities induce many farm ers, ambitious for an education for their children, to go from the farm to the town or city. The tendency has been in that direction for thirty years, and many farming communities have lost that quality of sturdiness and probity that gave them character a generation ago. Professor Hays would correct tnis tendency by making the country schools as good in every particular as those of the city. He would do this by consolidating rural schools of a township into one graded school at a central point, providing for the trans portation of pupils at public expense. While the combined cost of vans, teachers and schoolhouse is a little above that under the old plan, the cost is less per day of attendance. The advantage Is in the better school and n retaining farmers in their country homes. Mrs. Cleveland Not Strong. Former President and Mrs. Cleve land have taken a cottaee at Lakewood, N. J., where, it is expected, they will spend much of the winter season, it is for the benefit of Mrs. Cleveland 's health that the temporary change has been made. - She hasnot regained her strength since the birth of the baby, Francis Grover, and the family physician decided that a stay'! at the Pines, Lake wood, would be beneficial. Mrs. Cleveland has left Princeton with the children, includ ing the baby. The cottage Is the one they occupied in the winter of 1892-93, prior to the second inauguration, and has since been known as the "little white house." Religion As a Business. No other religious leader than Dow ie in this country could charter eight or nine special trains, load on them 3,000 followers aud trundle them to New York in blind and fanatical submission to his every order, unless it might be a successor of bis prototype. Brigham Young. Dowle may be a re ligious impostor, but be is a financial reality who has coined the devotion of his deluded followers into millions of of money, as he is said to be worth over 820,000,000 The man must be a genius, since not many years ago he went to Chicago, fresh from an Aus tralian prison, with less than $100 to build up a great and complicated bus! ness, schools, institutions and a $50, 000 house for himself, besides the large organization of infatuated ad herents. Tbe closest parallel to him was Brigham Young. " Drinkers Went to Laporte. Sunday was tbe dryest Sabbath known In the history of Mich igan City. ; Every saloon front and rear entrance, with one or two exceptions, was closed and no appeal, no matter how persuasive, served to se cure a drink. This city has been "wide open" and the action of the police commissioners is tbe most radical act taken. Those who failed to observe the edict were arrested. The closed doors drove hundreds of persons to Laporte, wtre the back doors were open and as a result, the interurban line did the largest Sab bath business of Its history. Lht cf Undiintd Letters.

Council Proceedings. The city council bad a lengthy ses sion Monday evening. After the read ing of the minutes and transaction of routine business, a petition numerous ly signed by persons residing in the west part of town, was presented re questing council to require the Vandalia and L. E. & W. Railways to p ace flagmen at the Jefferson street crossing. The petition was referred to the committee on ordinance and police, but it seemed to be the opinion of the council that the - request should be concurred in. The construction of the Webster avenue sewer extending from the second street east of the Webster school building to Michigan street, was let to Ü. Gordon for 8662.82, being about "5 cts per foot. The construction of the following walks was ordered: E. II. Dunham, Ellen B. Simons, Susan Johnson, and the stretch of walk on the south side of Sophia street between Grove Love's and the Pennsylvania railroad. It was reported that the foundation of the pavement being put down on Sophia street was not thick enough and the council ordered that about 200 feet just put down be taken up by the contractors, Hatch & Son, and the thickness increased. The tax levy for the year was then made as follows: General Turpose Fund $1.00 School House Bonds S .02 Water Works Bonds $ .30 - v 81-32 The poll tax was fixed at $1.00 and and a tax .'of $2.50 was ordered assessed against each male dog and $5.00 for each female dog. ' An ordinance was passed declaring that the council will pay only 65 cents per square for first Insertion and 45 cts per square for each subsequent ininsertlon of legal advertisements. Spot On the Sun. One of the largest spots that has appeared on the sun in recent years has just been discovered by Joha A. Brashear, chancellor of the Western university of Pennsylvania. Its area is so great that it can be seen by the naked eye if a smoked glass is used. We call the comparatively dark areas spots," said Prof. Brashear, "but some of them have many times the area of the earth. This one has an average width of 25,000 miles. In square miles its area is twelve times that of the earth. The spots on the sun indicate great solar storms. The present spot is probably the -largest that has been seen for many years."
