Boss announced himself as a candidate for district chaiftnan, tbe Tribune has 'josbed'V him considerably because, while it does not credit him with a great deal of knowledge, it does believe, that be knows be has not eTen tbe ghost of a chance to obtain tbe position. The reD iblicans of tbe seven connties of this district are not going to place at tbe bead of tbeir organization a man who would bring discord instead of harmony into almost every county In the district, and a man utterly inexperienced as an organizer. It would be preposterous to entertain such a thought for a moment when there are hundreds of good men who are capable and would harmonize instead of dividing the party. But there will be a reorganization of the party next January and republicans of other counties are wondering what Marshall county will do. It is generally known that while Mr. Boss has been tbe nominal chairman of the party la this county, Postmaster Yockey has. been tbe real chairman and Postmaster Pickerl has been his assistant, while Mr. Boss is only tbeir amanuensis; be simply does what they tell him to do. They have used the organization for their exclusive benefit regardless of injury to others. The party at present is powerless in tbe bands of these two men and rural routes and everything else that can bring them most money, arranged for their benefit. Marshall county ought to be a republican county. Two or three times it has been partially thrown into the the republican column only to be thrown out by men who cared only for themselves and were not willing to make any sacri5ces for the success of republican principles. If the county is ever redeemed or, if gains are ever made by republicans, men must be placed in control who will place principle above tbeir own solfisn interests. If a majority of republicans in Marshall county want the party in this county used for the advancement of these men only, the? will give them a new lease of power next January; but if they believe in equal rights and fair play they will place tbe organization in tbe bands of men who hare no friends to reward or enemies to punish except as is demanded by the best interests of the country and the party. We are always willing to submit to the will cf the majority fairly expressed, and if a majority of republicans in Marshall county wish to assist in piling up big democratic majorities, we shall have to wait until they have got enough of it. But if republicans will consider this matter we believe they will decide to take tbe management ! of the party out of the hands of men xtho boldly and unblushlngly proclaim that they can and will select whom they please for positions because they have the organization." A fool in public p -si tion is bad enough, bat fool and knave combined in one becomes an insufferable abomination. South Bend Times.

The ElKbart Review favors "Walter Brown for district chairman and says Brown's election is assured because there will be no combination of the friends of Stephenson and Boss. The Review understands that Boss Is a candidate in order to turn his delefjitcs in Marshall -county over to Brown; but the people of the district nay no permit the bccc3 t0 zss everything tbeir own way -next V . -i J

Tbe Macedonian war has gone Into cold storage and the sultan is enjoying bis after-dinner pipe as of yore.

Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia is to ba made a cardinal in a few weeks. The news was brought to this country by Cardinal Gibbons. The committee investigating, the "grafts" in Chicago find that the sum of 91,300,000 is due the water department and some of tbe bills against customers are outlawed. Irrigation conventions in North Dakota proTide barbecued oxen and cider for guests. It makes folkes feel liberal to think that their crops are to bare a supply of water when needed. Tbe new battle ship Missouri on ber trial trip made over 18 knots an hour, which is equivalent to 21 land miles. She is fit to try conclusions with anything afloat, and that Is tbe standard Undo Sam proposes to maintain. Mr. Bryan denies that he has aban doned free silver as an essential part of a democratic platform, and also repeats that Mr. Cleveland is no demo crat. The task of defining a democrat next year will be something tremend ous. The straw votes taken In New York city indicate that the candidates of I both parties will be elected by over whelming majorities, at least this is the wsy the party leaders figure, but they really indicate that there is very much uncertainty and neither party has a cinch until tbe yotes are counted next Tuesday night. According to statistics recently gathered about 30,000,000 people are living in prohibition territory In this country. This is more than one-third of the entire population. In Maine. Kansas and North Dakota they have prohioition by state law, and in thirty-eight other states they have It by local option. G rover Cleveland says that he would rather have his son a bridge builder than president. No doubt be feels that it is safer to build a bridge than to stand on the democratic platform. He did not say, however, that he would rather see his son a bridge builder than the boy's father a third time president of the United States. Louis Dudlow, the well known Washington correspondent, will here after write exclusively for the Indi anapolis Star and the other papers of the Star league. Mr. Ludlow is well known as the late correspondent of the Indianapolis Sentinel and is one of tbe brighest and most industrious news gatherers in the national capital. "Waiving all questions as to whether England was more indebted to her inventors and manufacturers than to her "past supremacy," there will be general agreement with Dr. Gunsaulus on the proposition that the invasion which is causing the greatest apprehension in England and Germany today is the invasion of Europe by American manufacturers and engineers. The cold wave, so much dreaded by most people, is really a blessing in dis guise. It charges the atmosphere with fresh oxygen and a surplns of free electricity, which produces a most exbllarting and beneficial effect upon mankind. Torpid energies are arous ed, physical vigor and resistance in creased, by the advent of a cold waye to such an extent that any incidental damage is more than made up for. There promises to be a bitter con test at tbe coming extraordinary ses sion of congress over the isthmian canal question. It will come up in the senate, and will be pushed to the front bv Mr. Morgan, of Alabama, who has waged a campaign for tbe Nicaraguan route since congress ad journed last spring. The Alabama senator is on the warpath", and be has already notified tbe administration of the course he Intends to follow. D. F. Kennedy, a local labor leader, with fairly keen powers of observa tion, Jn a forecast of the coming convention of the federation of labor, de clares that the Miller case will come up for discussion, but noyate of cen sure of President .Roosevelt will pass. One would think not. Whenever it becomes a question whether a labor union can force a man out of the gov ernment service by expelling him from tbe union, the American people will have some views and will not hesitate to express them. Indianapolis Journal. English merchants and manufac turers are taking tbe Chamberlain tariff campaign very seriously and the belief among these people is apparently very general that England will very soon depart from her free-trade policy. This is not merelya matter of opinion, for the English importers have al ready begun to increase their stocks and lay in large supplies of goods on which Mr. Chamberlain proposes there shall be shall be a 10 per cent, import duty, in the future. This interesting news Is hot contained in anjrof the reports from the American representatives abroad, but Is the burden of much private correspondence between England and tbe United States Just tt th!3t!I3.

English merchants and manufacturers are scared enough over the Chamberlain tariff proposition to begin to lay in large stocks In order to dodge tbe possible duties.

The opposition of tbe Roman Catholic church to tbe remarriage of tbe di vorced is shown by the recommenda tion of Cardinal Gibbons to Catholic women ''neither to invite married divorced people to their social func tions nor to accept any invitation from them to attend theirs." Sttphtnscn for District Chairman. The Indianapolis Journal in commenting on the candidacy of Home Stephenson says:. A dispatch from Rochester, states that Rome C, Stephenson, of that place has formally announced his can didacv for tbe chairmanship of the republican organization in tbe Thir teenth district, or that he has decided to permit his friends to use his name as & candidate. This amounts sub stantially to tbe same thing. Mr. Stephenson was a candidate for the chairmanship two years ago, but with drew before the convention was called that elected Walter Brown, of Elkhart, and was made chairman of the convention. He is regarded as one of the shrewd politicians of the Thir teenth. . Mr. Stephenson's friends, among whom are Attorney General Charles W. Miller, of Goshen, and other strong Beverldge men, propose him as a com promise candidate, Mr. Brown, the present chairman, is a candidate for re-election, and Frank W. Boss, of Plymouth, present chairman of the Marshall county organization, has an nounced bis candidacy. The South Ii AH Right If any of the Constitution's readers are still tangled up with tbe notion that tbe South is '-the poor relation" of the remainder of the Union they simply need the physic of a few large and luminous facts. Our cotton crop once was looked upon as the absolutely indispensable means of our bread and meat, our boots and breeches indeed, all the necessaries of our daily life. Some people are still toting that notion along in their rummage sacks. But the fact is that If our entire cotton crop were to fall, we have any year other resources and industries to be exploited, that we did not have a generation ago, and that would employ, feed, house, clothe and enrich our people. In the individual account the farmer may make bis cotton mean everything; but in the general business account it could be lost, but that loss, while heavily felt, would not put the South to tramping and begging on the big roads. Last year the exports from our Sjutbarn ports increased 7.4 over tbe year before. For the same period the exports for Northern seaboard cities increased only .30 which is threetentbb of 1 per centum! Nearly 40 per cent of the export trade of the country goes now through Southern ports the other 60 per cent, going through north Atlantic and Pacific ports. But give us the isthmian canal and our southern ports will drain tbe exports from Ohio to the Rocky Mountains. It has not been so many years ago since a man asked to invest in a south ern railway would sby around the proposition like Mark Twain's cat, once blown up in ablast, forever after wards avoided even a common post hole. But tbe earnings of the Southern Railway, for instance, have in creased 155 per cent, per annum in the past nine years. Last year the southern cotton mills. for the first time in American history, consumed more of our home crop than the northern mills. And it is officially reported that: . "Since Jan. 1, along the lines of the Southern Railway, twenty-seven new manufacturing plants have been established, including nineteen cotton mills and eight knitting mills, which have added to the total equipment 20,134 looms and 727,358 spindles. while there are now under construction twenty-three, other mills which will baye-an ""equipment --'of 14,025 looms and 500,312 sblndles making a grand total, existing and in sight, of 642 mills, 85,738 looms and 6,976.800 spindles." These are but a few of the items in the account. They omit the vast oil interests of Texas, the rapid and enor mous rice production of Louisiana, the iron and steel interests of Bir mingham and the phenomenal indus trial growths of Atlanta, Nashville, Memphis, Richmond and Newport. Atlanta Constitution. Does Not Fxpect to Be Elected. The South Bend Times, a demo

cratic paper that is always well posted, says Tom Johnson has exhausted himself in making his automobile campaign for he governorship ofOhio. Having maie no effort to conciliate tho3e who opposed his nomination, it is generally believed that he will be pretty badly cut in some parts of the state. Inasmuch as he doesn't hope to be elected, it will probably make but little difference to him whether he get3 a few thousand more or a few thousand lees votc3. - . Try The Ttjetjits.

Council Meeting. At the regular session of the council Monday evening, tbe question of placing a light at the corner of Adams

and Water streets near the Lumis property was referred to the com mlttee on lights. . William Holland the nurseryman was before tbe council with a proposi tion for tbe purchase of the fair grounds very cheap, beautifying it and making one of the finest public parks in northern Indiana for the city of Plymouth. The matter was referred. to tbe proper committee. E. S. Blssell entered a complaint that the Edgerton manufacturing company was encroaching on bis prop erty. Tbe committee on streets and alleys will look after this matter and report. More time was granted for tbe con sideration of placing a watchman at the -Jefferson street crossing of the Lake Erie and V&ndalia railways. The electric light committee was ordered to examine and report as to the necessity of placing a public light at the corner of Earl and Sophia streets almost In the extreme eastern part of tbe city. Citizens residing near tbe Yandalia House reported that notwithstanding tbe quarantine, visitors came and went at night as usual, thus endan gering the health and safety of the city. The council ordered the board of health to confer with tbe mayor and see that steps were taken to secure an effective quarantine. The bond of C. G. Gordon for tbe Webster sewer was approved. The city engineer was ordered to encase tbe Center street sewer with cement grouting and have cement put back of tbe curbing ou Center street to strengthen it. The usual allowances were made and other routine business was transacted. Where Prosperity Hasn't Struck In. Ever since 1897 this nation, on tbe surface, has prospered as never before. Farmers have found eager markets at profitable prices. Capitalists have add ed to tbeir wealth. Labor nas been able to use, äs never before, the power of organization to laise wages. Yet it may be doubted if one-half the beads of American families are In as favorable a position as they were In 1897. The third party tbe majority who are neither capitalists nor able to fortify themselves behind labor union walls Is today giving more propor tionately than in 187, while getting only tbe same. When capitalists combine to raise prices, reduce expenses, or anticipate profits, it is this third party that pays the higher prices, stands the reduc tKia of expenses and converts the an ticipated profits Into actual ones. Every flotation of corporation secur ities depends for its ultimate success upon the ability of men of moderate incomes to buy and hold the securi ties. The burden of every advance In wages secured by organized labor is ultimately shifted upon the unorganiz ed third party. The plain truth is that fully onehalf the workers of the United States the men whose incomes 'are from 600 to 3,000 a year, tbe men who are neither in trusts nor labor unions, have not been getting tbeir share of the national prosperity. They are working for the prosperity of capital and organized labor, but no one is working for them. And under this burden they are becoming exhausted. The steadily declining prices of practically all securities are primarily due to the fact that this third party, or middle class, is unable to save as it was a few years ago. What the American people need to learn is that prosperity cannot be made permanent by artificial organi zations of any kind by neither trusts nor labor unions which leave out of consideration the majority of the peoAnd if capital and organized labor will not consider tbe interests of tbe third party, then it Is high tlse for the average men to faroc Voeir inter ests upon 'the, notice of the public For, after ail, they are the majority. They can, if they will, make the laws upon which both capital and organized labor depend for safety. Inter Ocean. People Sighing for Relief. There is an impression in some quarters that a red hot campaign is on" in Ohio. This appears to be an error. Politicians are trying hard to work up the voters to a pitch of ex citement, bub they, are making very little progress in that direction, Spec tacular features are no longer a novelty,' barbecues seem to have lost favor, whirlwind campaigning has lost force, and common sense ideas appear to be asserting themselves more and more. Ohio has too much politics to the square foot. The people are sighing :or relief. A campaign eyery year is too much 'for them. South Bend Times. - - ' . Crd cf Tter.XJ.

MARRIED

Ryder---Carder. Married at Plymouth, Indiana, on Saturday evening, October 24, 1903. at 7:30, by the Rev. Geo. A. Pflug, of the Presbyterian church, Mr. Bernard E. Ryder, of Plymouth, and Mrs. Susan Carder, of Bourbon. This is a union of "two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one, " and is the culmination of a long acquaintance, resulting in that love which passeth all understanding. "Barney," as he is famlliarly called by his many friends, has been a resident of Plymouth nearly forty years, coming here from New Jersey, and is one of our most industrious and valued citizens. Mr. Ryder is the special agent for the American Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Elkhart, Ind., and has held that position for the last five years which he fills with entire satisfaction to the company. The bride is a sister of Mrs. J. V. Astley, and is known and respected in the community where she has resided for many years, for her many excellent qualities of head and heart. The many friends of the newly married couple wish them long life, peace, plenty health and prosperity. Big Increase' in Gold. Ellis H. Roberts director of the United States mint in a statement made to the California bankers' convention at San Francisco Friday said: In the United States en Oct. 1. 1903, the value of the goM money was 1,277,362,651. The amount held In tbe national treasury was $653,811,716. Our stock of gold is double that of Great Britain. The increase of flye years hear has been 376,021,387. In that period Great Britain has added 90,000,000; France, 127,700,000; Germany, 95,000.000; Austria-Hun-garo, 55,300,000, while Russia lost 10,400,000, and in several other countries there has been a reduction. In all of Europe, the total gain in the same interval has been 449.600,000. At tbe present rate our gain before this calendar year ends, in stock of the yellow metal, will exceed that of all European countries. "This, too, when our population is one-fifth of that of the European countries. Our stock of gold is 15.80 per capita; that of France Is stated at 424.36; of Germany, $13.54; of AustriaHungary, 6.01; of Russia, 5,70; of Switzerland. $9.06; of Sweden, 3.42; of Norway, 3.73." Mr. Roberts produced a long array of statistics to prove the contention that gold is -the foundation of our national prosperity, He said. "This golden flood is without peer in its magnitude. It has brought to our people and our government, treasures richer than any before re corded in human annals. It has covered tbe continent and blessed all the inhabitants. Its sources and its current are not exhausted. It con tinues to spread itself over every valley and plain, fructifying.as tbe waters of tbe Nile. Bankers may do much to direct it into right and beneficent channels. They . can prevent its di version for sinister and harmful pur poses. The Big Meat Trust Live stock is as cheap as it has been at any time during the past three years, yet meat Is selling at the highest figure it has commanded since the high-price period of the civil war. As a bracer. to present high prices for all graces of meats the Armours and Swifts have cornered the poultry and produce supply, so thathouseholders are completely at rhe' mercy of these big pirates.' The . meat trust has demonstrated pretty clearly that It is a bigger man than tbe United States government with all its courts and anti-trust laws. And the peoplewell, the people just pay the freight and say nothing, but they are getting n tbe humor to do a whole lot of votng some of these days. Indianapolis Independent. Bad For the Reorganizes. It is freely predicted that if the retrganizers get control of the next national democratic convention and com mate the candidate for president on the democratic ticket, that not a single democratic nominee on the ocal county ticket will Deselected. And it will not only be that way in Floyd county,; but throughout the country. It Is argued that the true and faithful democrats of former years will be so completely disgusted that hey will remafn away from the polls altogether. TUo Public Press has no doubt that if tne reorganize rs get conrol it will man the disorganization of the democratic party. New Albany Public Press. To li Slot Machines.
