Stephenson, of Rochester, will be a candidate for district chairman, and intimates that he will hare the solid support of Pulaski and Starke counties, as well as his own county. If Mr. Stephenson enters the race he will be a strong candidate and would , make a good chairman. He is a man of ability and would bring harmony instead of discord to the party in this district. Some such Republican should be chosen district chairman. There are scores of such men in the district and no man who has enemies tu punish or friends to reward should be chosen. The district chairman should be a Republican from principle, and should be a man of honor and integrity. The meat trust hogs are workiug profits both ways. They have reduced the price they are willing to pay for live stuck and at the same time have advanced prices upon the dressed and cjred meats. Japan officially denies that war with Russia is imminent. Russia advertises her strength in the far.. East by elaborate maneuvers, to which foreigners are invited, declaring that thus can peace be best preserved. The republicans elected their judge and a majority of councilmen In Indianapolis. The democratic candidate for city clerk has 86 majority. Holtzman. democrat, was elected major, beatiog Book waiter 826 votes. A boom has been started at Indianapolis for Judge Timothy E, Howard, of South Bend, as a candidate for rice president cn the democratic tick cu iuc juugc 1$ a mce man ana tne l'uspolls democrats might just oi well name him tor president while they are making candidates. The inclusion of the name or Democratic Congressman Driggs in the list of postal fraud indictments will probably have an effect to take the wind out of the democratic stump speeches on the subject. Graft is strictly nunpartisan. It looks out for its own pocket all the time, to borrow the famous phrase of Dick Crocker. The superintendent of the Illinois Reformatory says, iu a public address, that "lack of home life Is responsible for most juvenile criminals and that education is the keynote of reformatory training." The statement regarding the lack of home life is undoubtedly true, but that relative to education needs qualifying. There is nothing particularly reformatory in mere scholastic education. There must be education of the hands, the heart and the conscience as well. If a clash should come between the naval forces of Russia and Japan, a matter of interest to Americans will be the showing made by the several great ships which Russia has had built in the United States. Within the last five years three of these big fighting machines have been completed for the czar's government In the Cramps' yard at Philadelphia. The latest of these, the Retzyisan, was finished about a year ago, and sailed from Philadelphia manned by 1,800 Russians. The Retzvisan was the largest and most powerful war vessel ever buiit by the Cramps company. F. W. Boss says that he meant the preseat Thirteenth district when he said this county has had only one republican district chairman and consequently that leaves Hon. H. G. Thayer out. This statement puts Mr. Boss in worse plight than ever. The only counties in the present Thirteenth district that have had a republican chairman are Elkhart, St. Joseph and Fulton. Mr. Boss says all the large counties In the district have had . the chairmanship more than once. The political knowledge of Mr. Boss is very limited and every time he rises to mae an explanation he makes a new exhibition of bis political ignorance. The ' Indianapolis Journal which made a great fight for the re-election of Mayor Book waiter sajs:, "It ctmnos be denied that some things had been done which handicapped the party. The early primaries and the so-called 'snap .convention" of last spring caused a degree of dissatisfaction among republicans that made it difficult to -explain or defend other mistale3. The Journal endeavored to break the force of thecs mistakes, but

The decline in prices for hogs Is estimated to make a loss of nearly $4,000,000 to the farmers of Nebraska alone, and they blame the big pork packers.

Russia bids China to choose between accepting her demands or seeing the czar's troops permanently occupy Manchuria. The prospects of peace in the far east are considered more hopeful. - Marshall Field says Chamberlain's tariff policy will be adopted by England, thereby inflicting a serious blow on America. He describes Germany as taking full advantage of the-delay occasioned by the political situation in the United Kingdom." The equestrian statue of General Sherman which was unveiled at Washington Thursday Is probably the finest statue In the national capital, and will preserve for future generations a life-like picture of the great captain as he appeared during the civil war. Lord Lansdowne, speaking at a banquet to the Alaskan boundary commission in London, said Britain and the United Ctptes must work in peace and harmony, settling differences on a common sense basis. Secretary Root paid a fine tribute to the armies of both countries. Mexican cattle breeders are in Chicago inspecting cattle that come to the market from the west, and expect to contract for a million dollars' worth of the best breeding cattle for beef purposes. They propose to have their beef cattle compete In the world's markets with our western cattle. The restoration of New York according to the declaration of Dowie, began with the arrival of the Dowie host, 6000 strong In that city Friday. Judging from the forces the host has to contend against and the material they have to work with the job will last a lung time before it is thoroughly completed". Europe knows better than to fight. It is easy to begin .war, but difficult to stop It. Then it costs so much nowadays, eyea for one battle, saying nothing about the loss of life. An avoidable war Is positively criminal. When the people are as intelligent as they ought to be there will be no more wars. Laporte Herald. In their reports on the postofflce scandals, Atttorneys Bonaparte and Conrad call attention to the fact that Thomas W. Gillmure, a treasury employe who unearthed the frauds has been reduced from an eighteen hundred dollar position to one paying cily sixteen hundred dollars. They claim this proceeding Is an outrage. The patience of the editor of the Plymoutn Tribune has been severely taxed by the dictatorial and arrogant course of its South Bend namesake. Forbearance having ceased tobe a virtue, the Plymouth paper lets loose in m inner that admits of no misunderstanding as to the writer's feelings. His observations may be pronounced rich, rare and racy. South Bend Times. Unless politics and political parties, both and all of them, take a turn for the better the alignment in municipalities will be along the line of reform of corruption. Conditions are getting to be such in cities that the issues on which national political parties are divided that administrative reform will become a national issue in order to purify local politics. Indeed it is as much a need of the country generally as was the tariff issue In the decade just passed. That was as dis-J tinctlvely local as is municipal reform in the present development in nearly all cities of any size. Elkhart Review. In the Indianapolis city election on Tuesday voting machines were used in ten precincts, and so satisfactory were their use that the county com-1 missioners favor equipping the entire county with them for next year's elections. Old timers on the election boards found that by the use of machines, instead of being required to remain up most of the night tabulating returns, they were done with their duties soon after the polls were closed. In. twenty minutes after the closing time the vote of the ten precincts had been obtained and tabulated. The results were obtained in voting machine precincts hours ahead of those where the old system prevailed. The loss from strikes in the building trades for the year are estimated at $14,000,000 In Chicago, $10,000,000 in New York, $6,000,000 in Philadelphia, $4,000,000 icnPittsburg and similar sums in other cities. The main part of these losses is in the wages of laborlog men. Property owneTs and builders lose nothing" except their time and the prospective rents on the buildings which they had projected. But the strikers incurred an actual loss of all the wages wh'ch they might have secured during the time of the strikes and of all the forced and voluntary contributions which they paid as stride expenses.

Statistics show that during nine months of the present year. building operations In ei?ht large cities" have fallen otT $42,000,000 as compared with the same period last year. The decrease is attributed chiefly 4 to labor troubles. . ' '

Rumor says Senator Piatt has com promised the breach of promise suit threatened against him by Miss Wood for 415,000. Miss Wood is also asserted on the authority of a friend to have admitted she was never regularly engaged. A third claimant is said to be threatening trouble. ' - Former State Senator L. P. Newby, of Knightstown, Ind has announced that he is a candidate for the republican nomitatlon for lieutenant governor. In 1900 Mr, Newby was a candidate and next to the successful candidate. Newton W. GJiber:, received the highest vote. Shares in the United States Steel corporation have shrunk $51,875,000 since the revelations of last week concerning J. Plerpont Morgan's connection with the shipbuilding scandal. That shrinkage represents a loss of public confidence in the great promo ter that can never be regained. Consumption occurred rarely if at all among tin negroes in slavery, but now, after a little more than a quarter of a century of freedom, causes more deaths among them than all the other contagious diseases combined. The negro death rate from consumption is more than three times that of the whites. The railway mileage figures show that the United States has within 2,269 as much as has all Europe, with the rest of North America thrown in, and 19,501 miles more than twice as much as the British Empire. We have more than than six times as much as either the German or Russian Empire. The Bourbon Advance tells its readers that the fight between the Boss and Brown factions is on for a finish. The Advance does not; eera to know tnat the Boss and Brown faction is one and that they are only trying to deceive the voters and help each other. If Boss is elected Brown will be district chairman just the same. The Fort Wayne Journal the morning democratic organ of Allen county says the acquittal of Tillman in South Carolina Is an outrage, lamentable from whatever point it is viewed. That Tillman was guilty of cruel and unprovoked murder was clearly proven, and it would have been moie to the credit of the state to have liberated him . without trial. The president of the Chicago Federation of Labor declares that if the capitalists do not stop their attacks on labor, the uuion men will -withdraw $300,000,000 from the banks the and create a financial panic. But the banks say that not one-tenth of this amount is on deposit and that the less than one-tenth has bee a deposited mostly by women; Chairman O'Brien, of the Democratic state central committee, has announced that attorneys have been employed to bring suit to test the constitutionality of the last legislative apportionment, and that the suit will be filed In a few days. The law will be attacked on the grounds tbät it does not give equal representation to all sections of the state and that the constitutional basis has been violated In the formation of many districts. Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock says of the workings of the new irrigation law: "The plan is for the government to develop the water supply, which will be rented to landowners. When the system of watering is completed the Improvements will be sold to the landholders and the money appropriated for the work will thu3 be turned over and over, "As soon as one district Is provided with irrigation the money realized from the sale of water rights will be used in lmproving another district." Of all economic conceptions this Is one of the most important and promising. Fast Run for Passenger Agents. Nearly 100 general passenger agents from alfparts of the country arrived at New Orleans Monday night on a special Illinois Central train to attend the forty-eighth annual convention Of the American Association of General Passenger and Ticket Agents, which began on Tuesday. -They were treated to a record-breaking ride. "One hundred and eighty-nine miles were made in 187 minutes, 105 miles in ninety mlnutesj including stops, and 396 mlies in 420 minutes, exclusive of stops. At times and for short distances of one mile and under the speed indlcater in the observation car registered 94.4 miles per hour . - According to recent speed test made by the .Pennsylvania Railroad this is within six-tenths of a nils of being as fast as it is possible to run a modern passenger train. The train was composed of etiglne, buffet, library car, diner, fiv3 standard Pullmans and cn observation car. TL 2 total eiht cf the train vra3 about 51 tens, or 1,1C2,-

. Cleveland's Chicago Speech. Grover Cleveland addressed the Chicago Commercial Club Wednesday evening, and made ;i strong speech in favor of good government.-which he declared could be maintained only by rescuing politics from corrupt methods. Taking "American Good Citizenship" as his subject the "ex-President warned his hearers that the prevailing sense of the security of the republic and the permanency of its institutions was the present greatest danger of the nation. It was to arouse the citizens to a realizntlon of this condition that he directed attention to. what he termed the 4eanker" which was eating its way Into the body politic. Under bond, as he said, to "keep the peace and not talk, politics." Mr. Cleveland evaded partisanship, but with keen sarcasm for the argument of those who were "too busy" to take part in politics and with a calm eloquence in presenting the duty of every citizen he brought frequent approbation in the form of hearty applause. "It is time that there should be an end to self-satisfied gratification or pretense of virtue in the phrase 4 1 am not a politician,'" said said the exPresident, "and it is time to forbid the prostitution of the word to a sinister use. Every citizen should be politician enough to bring himself within the true meaning of the term, as one who concerns himself with 'the regulation or government of a nation or state, for the preservation of its safety, peace and prosperity.' " Mr. Cleveland spoke plainly of the weaknesses of the American people today, as he sees them. While giving a warning that pitfalls are on every hand, he spoke cheerfully of the future. But he asserted that if "good men are to interfere" with the machinations of the cold-blooded politician they need not look for an open field or an easy victory. Among the immediate ills which he believed assailed the government body, he said that "corruption of our suffrage, open and notorious," was one. In close relation to it be placed "the purchase of political favors and priviliges and the traffic in official duty for personal gain." Mr. Cleveland also lamented that tti indifference of many citizens allowed these lines to increase and spread. Game Law Interpreted. A correspondent of the Rochester Republican who says he wants to present real facts in regard to the last game law, asks and answers questions as follows: 1st. Does the law require a farmer to have a license with his portrait on i it to hunt upon bis own farm? Answer." Section 4 of the amended game law, approved March 9, 1903, in part is as" follows: "Any person desiring to do so shall first secure a permit," etc. We would suppose the word "any" includes the farmer with all other persons, and further says. "Slid license shall have attached thereto a photograph of the applicant and shall contain a description of the age, height, weight, complexion, color of hair, color of eyes, with any distinctive mark of the holder thereof." 2d. Can a man be arrested for hunting on his own farm without a license? Answer. Yes, or if he has a license and does not happen to have it with him when he goes gunning he raav be arrested. . - ' 3. Can a man hunt on another man's faira without a license, if be gets a permit of said farmer? Answer. No. - 4th. Is it unlawful to own a gun and dog without a license? Answer. No, not it you have paid your taxes on them. Many Acres ct f aint. It is said that when Plerpont Morgan went through the accounts of the International Mercantile Marine company, recently, with his auditors, he was astonkhed at the amount of paint used upon uhe vessels in the great shipping combination, which controls 140 steamers. Assuming that the average area of each ship is two and a quarter acres, and that each vessel is painted, say ten times in one season, and that 120 ships are continually in commission, we have an area to be covered with paint of 2,250 acres every year. Such a. job, requiring the services of nearly a hundred men, working steadily, would "cost about $260,000. Although this seems an immense sum to spend upon paint alone, it is essential to keep the vessels, in spickt and-span condition. Limiting Spread of Consumption. Increase" in the unfortunate category of consumptives Increases universal sympathy for the victims and requires greater precaution in limiting the spread of the disease. ' The state board of health of Indiana is justified In discontinuing in the schools of the state the services of persons who iiave become afflicted with any disease communicable bj proximity. Humane provision should be made for otherwise catisf octory, teachers, who ought not to be permit ted to endanger the health cf pupils. Physical examina

Parks--Reed. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Reed, five miles south and west of Bourbon, on Saturday evening, Oct. 10th, their daughter Ethland to Mr. Charles Parks, of South Bend, Ind. This being the 28th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Reed, they had invited a number of their friends in order to celebrate both events. About forty guests were present to enjoy the occasion. The beautiful country home of Mr. Reed was thrown open to their guests, and all who were there will certainly remember it as an oasis in life. The happy couple will make their home in South Bend. Money in Fact and Fiction. In 1844 Alexander Dumas published a book called "The Count of Monte Cristo, " the basis of which (as most of our readers well know) is the fabulous wealth of an Individual. The count finds a cave full of almost priceless jewels. He buys men's lives; he spends money everywhere: he comes to Paris with a notice from his Italian bankers giving him unlimited credit on a Paris bank. There is no limit on what he can draw from M. Danglers. It is entirely unprecedented. Nothing like it was ever known before. He draws 5,000,000 francs and ruins the banker, and still no complaint from his Roman house. He rights wrongs: he saves more lives; he punishes the guilty by the use of unlimited wealth; and then, by and by, he leaves Maximilian on the Island of Monte Cristo with his bride and sails away. As Maximilian sees bis ship disappear on the horizon he finds Monte Cristo's will leaving him his whole fortune. This fortune, Dumas suggests in two or three places, was 100,000,000 francs $20,000.000. It is the greatest private fortune the Frenchman could conceive of in 1844 it is considerably less than the in come of John D. Rockefeller in 1903. Respect for the Law. The subject chosen by Rev. Dr. Foster, president of the Rust Univer sity in Mississippi, for his Initial ser mon of a series in a Boston pulpit Tuesday shows the question that is uppermost in the minds of thoughful men in the section which he repre sents. "Respect for the Law Decreasing?" is the topic which he discussed, and his own view was that there is a growing defiance of law and order, which means a general spread of anarchy unless something is done to check it. The churches can do much, but we believe the schools can do more, because they perform a service of 'more universal contact. Respect for the fundamental principles A law as a fundamental condition of good citizenship should be taught and impressed upon the rising generation in every institution of learning, great or small This ethical lack must be a et, if at all, by those charged with the responsibility of forming the youthful minr. Boston Transcript. Seriously Wounded. Last Tuesday, Fred Hissong got In a rage by being crossed in an argument with his brother, drew a knife and seriously cut his father, Hamilton Hlssong, and brother. Lawrence. The father had a gash about 6 inches long cut in his thigh and Lawrence sustained several bad cuts on the hands. Doctor Parker, of Culver, and Dr. Stevens, of Maxinkuckee, dressed the wounds. Fred is subject to epileptic fits and an effort will be made to hae him sent to Long Cliff asylum. Culver Citizen. Ml i Big Returns From, Onions. The returns from the onion crop in this county are about all in, and It is safe to say that that the crop will come near 450.000 bushels, nearly all of which has been marketed. The acreage has been put at 485 and it is predicted thatlt will be more than doubled in 1904. . Scott Galloway, the well known Noble township farmer, predicts that onion raising will occupy the time of many of the farmers in his locality next year. He says that the only successful way to raise onions is to keep everlastingly at It from the time the seed is planted until the crop is sold. Ligonier Banner. Will Live In Chicago. George F. McCulloch, president of the.Indiana Union Traction company, will live in Chicago this winter so that Mrs. McCulloch may he near specialists that are treating her. He is now working on his traction Interests in northern Indiana, and for entrance to Chicago for his Indianapolis-Chicago line, ne will devote much time to the routine affairs of the lines now in operation during the winter. s Crsnbrrry Crcp Ihrvcird. The cranberry crop of the BlJf.ir farm, near Chesterton, has been harvestid for the year and is being packed for shipment. The yield was about 1,200 bushels, which Is considered a very fair crop, anä the berrie3 are of an especially fine quality. It i3 said that c.cnbcrric3 are going to be ccircs this fcil.
