WALTER BROWN'S ANNOUNCEMENT.
Walter Brown takes a column in the Elkhart Review to. announce that he
Js fcoing to make a fight for the dis
trict chairmanship. Over one half the
article is devoted to abuse of Attorney
General Miller. Judges John II. Baker
and Francis E. Baker. - He says he is entitled to re-election and intimates
that Ls'wtll rule or ruin. He seems to think that be is the big get man that ever held a position in
northern Indiana. He places himself away above Hon. L. W. Itoyse Aaron
Jones, Jude Wilsjn, W D. "Frazer,
A. L. Brick. George Holman and Rollo
B. Oglesbee. Elmer Crockett is the only man that has hel3 the position
of chairman of the 13th district
tvo terms in the past twenty-four
years and he was re-elected because
nobody else wanted it. The position has always been considered one which required work,
time and money for party success
without remuneration, consequently
prominent republicans made sacrifices
h'T the party when they accepted the position. Mr.' Brown abus.es almost everybody except V. W. Buss, who be almst positively declares is his political partner. The announcement destroys the last vetige of hope in täe minds of Brown's friends and they now wonder -that they were ever induced to support him.
Postmaster-General Payne estimates that the expenses of his department next year will be nearly $110,000,000 aiid the receipts nearly $160,000.000; so it will probably be just as well to defer any further discussion of the pcupused reduction of the rate of postage.
Sew Yo k State gave a majority of nearly 250,000 in favor of the proposition that the state shall spend $K1.000.000 for improving its canals. The plan is to widen and deepen the Erie canal so that it will accommodate barges of 1,000 tons carrying capacity, and to improve the Oswego and Champlain canals. Tammany Lad confidence enough in Ibe resalt in Sew York to arrange before the election for a celebration of McClellan's victory. "Itisapity that the people couldn't feel equal confidence In Tammany, but the organization has wrecked so many of its own promises that they go at a heavy discount nowadays,
When Greater New York with its
big democratic majority read the rest
of the returns it felt a bit' lonesome.
The republican plurality in Ohio Is
about 115,000 for governor, and the legislature on oint ballot for senator
is ninety-three.
Washington officials believe the re volutionists will be successful in Pan
ama add think the supremacy of the
United Staus over the isthmus is
complete.
Chicago banks report an increase of
nearly 23 per cent in savings deposits
during the year ended Oct, 15, to the
total being $104, 600,000, against $85, 275,000 a year ago. . . ,
Many Wall street men are declared
to have supported Tammany In the
election and 'the traction companies are said to have contributed to the
Tammany campaign fund.
The Indianapolis Journal says there
is something pathetic in China's ap
peal to the United States against Russia's encroach ment in Manchuria, but
it is obviously impossible for the
a United States to do a tiling except insist on its treaty rights regarding an open door for trade.
That organization is best which represents the interests of the whole
party, for it is the entire ticket that
must be fought for in the campaign-
and, after all, it is the business of the party machinery to fight the party's
campaigns, not to name its candidates.
Indianapolis Journal.
A meeting is to be held In Chicago
next month to arrange for a joint
agreement between contractors and
laboring unions, and another chill
runs over the people who belong to neither of the organizations. Strikes or no strikes nowadays the outsiders
always have to pay the bill.
The United States Steel Corporation has planned a cut of $4 a ton in steel billets and $2 a ton for finished pro
duct, with the expectation of stimulating consumption and inducing em
ployes to accept lower wages. The
agreement regarding billets includes
the Jones & Laughlins, Lackawanna
and Pennsylvania companies.
The Goshen News-Times the re
publican organ of Elichart county, slvs
the column formal announcement of Walter Brown's candidacy, which ap
peared in Wednesday's Elkhart Review teems with personalities and at
tacks Attorney General Chas. W. Mil
ler. In short it is a most unusual pla
to create prejudice and dissension and to one reading between the lines shows
a determination to "rule or ruin.!1
Walter Brown says if he is not r -
elected district chairman the republi
cans of tne district win drag: them
selves along during the entire cam
paign wearing an iron collar branded
Miller." Brown evidently believes
he can force the republicans of the district to march through the campaign wearing an iron collar branded
'Walter Brown." He will know before the first of February that he is
badly mistaken.
Figures show that McClellan's plurality oyer Low for mayor of New York is 63,617. The triumph of Tammany is proof of the fact that the majority of the people want a "wide open" city, instead of the business administration and reform metnods of the Low administration.
Highway Shade Tree Law. We recently published an article by Col. Fox, state superintendent of forestry for New York, regarding the desirability of having shade trees along the highway. We find that the above
state already has a law covering this point. According to this law the state commissioner of highways may,
by an order In writing, authorize the owners of property adjoining the
highways, at their own expense, to
locate and plant trees along the high
ways, which order, with a map or
diagram showing the location of the tree planting, certified by the com
missioner, shall be filed in the office
of the town clerk within ten days after ihe making of the order. Any inhabitant liable to highway tax who shall, pursuant to said order, transplant by the side of the highway adjoining his premises, ai j forest shade trees, shall be allowed by the overseers of the highway, or other officers having charge of tne highway in abatement of his highway tax, $1 for each four trees set out; but all trees must have been set out the previous year asd be living and well protected from animals at the time of the allowance, and not more than eight feet from the outside line of any highway three rods wide, and not more than one additional foot further therefrom, for each additional rod In width of highway, and not less than seventy feet apart, on the same side of the highway, ir elms, or fifty feet if other trees. Sueti abatement of tax to any person shall not exceed one-quarter of his annual highway tax in any one year; but shall be allowed annually until it shall have equaled the whole number of trees set out, at the rate herein
specified.
It Is unlawful for any person to hitch any horse to. or leave same
standing near enough to injure any shade tree on the highway, or to cut or mutilate in any way. any such
shade tree; but the property owner
can cultivate, train and use the trees
on his own land. .Any person or per
sons guilty of violating this section shall be liable to prosecution by any
person, before any justice of the peace in the town where the offense is committed, and punishable by a fine not
exceeding $10, nor less than $1, be
sides the costs of action for each of
fense or for each tree, cut down or mutilated in violation of this act.
The above article Is from the Prairie
Farmer and suggets some things for
the consideration of Indiana legislature in reyard to shade trees.
Hopeful of Prosperity. The bankers and financiers from all parts of the Union who attended the recent national convention of bankers In San Francisco are" generally of the opinion that the season of prosperity which the country has enjoyed for several years will continue for some time louger. While it is admitted that Wall street conditions have caused some misapprehension and timidity, it is contended that the general public has not suffered financially. As the president of the Illinois Bankers' Association puts it, "The losses have fallen on those who have speculated in watered stocks. The disturbed conditions in Wall street do
not Indicate any serious trouble in the
banks throughout the country. The
worst of it being over, the future is ail the more encouraging." Natural
ly, the bankers from all parts of the United States are gratified at the reports of bountiful crops. The foreign
demand for our agricultural products will bring a great deal of. money Into
the country. In the view of many
financiers one, of the strongest ,fea
tures of the situation is "the splendid
condition of the farming community,"
The president of a Chicago bank is
quoted as saying that "the so-called
all street crisis Is largely a matter
of bookkeeping, and no general busi
ness disturbance will follow." It seems to be assumed that the country is abie to'stand the "'squeezing out of
watered slocks" without sustaining
material injury,
Frank Pickerl seems to have lost all confidence in his own paper and his ability as an editor and has hired the Argos Refiector to insinuate that the Argos merchants are to some extent responsible for the work of the Pickerl-Yockey-Boss machine.. He will not deceive anybody! Everybody knows that the Argos merchants are entirely innocent and have nothing to do with the schemes of the ring.
A private letter written by President Roosevelt to a member of congress which has found its way into print shows that the President is determined to push the postofflce investigation to its logical conclusion, regardless of political or personal influence. This is in accordance with the popular opinion of ihe President's absolute honesty and fearlessness. The ktod of honesty which he advocates and practices in public affairs is always the best policy.
President Roosevelt, members of bis
cabinet, republican congressmen and
politicians express general satisfaction
with the results of Tuesday 'selections. Where party !!oes were drawn the republican candidates were successful,
polliug larger votes than 1 1 the list elections. While regretting - the
Tammany victory In New York, the republican leaders are a unit in declaring that it will have no effect Whatever upon Mr. Roosevelt's prospects of election.
Postmaster General Payne Is greatly interested In the suggestion that coiigress should Increase the pay of rural free delivery carriers. If a bill is referred to him he indicates that it will be approved and some interesting changes recommended In the administration of the service of the carriers. The postmaster general will begin work on his annual report next week, but not having carefully examined the representations of the carriers be has not yet reached a conclusion zSto what recommendation, If any, he will make v?ill make la this connection.
During the pas?: two or three years every democratic paper and speaker has praised Senator H jar. In a speech in Massachusetts last week Senator Hoar said: "I have no doubt of the patriotic purposes of many of our dem
ocratic brethren. 1 dare say that some time they may be trusted with
power in this republic without repeating the mischief which they did when tbey last enjoyed It. But the . time has not yet come." The senator does not expect to see another democratic
administration until the party is born againan event not In sight or Ir dicat-
ed at the present tlmet , 4
John B. Stoll one of the oldest and ablest democratic editors of northern Ioaiana says: "Tom Johnson, the unique, is not and never was a democrat. He is a disciple of Henry George, a believer in the siogle tax idea, in theory a free trader and in practice a monopolist. By conviction he holds to the gold 'standard, but wnen he plays politics he usually, wants free silver men for candidates. Tom's chief aim in life appears to be to do something that -nobody else would think of doing to create a commotion raise a hubbub, and above everything else to attract attention to Tom L. Johnson."
With the democratic organization of the five boroughs of New York City under bis control and backed by the democratic machines in Erie, Rensselaer, Clinton, Albany, and probably several other counties In the interior, Charles F. Murphy stands ready to grasp the domination of the democratic party in New York State. His victory has been bailed, with delight by the enemies of David B. Hill outside the city, who are eager -to rally to his support. Ht. Murphy . has already expressed himself as favorable to the nomination of former President Grover Cleveland by the next democratic national convention. If he can
swing the democratic state convention
to Mr. Cleveland be will cruja the presidential aspirations of Mr. Hill
and eliminate Mr. Hill's friend, Judje
Alton B. Parker 03 a presidential
possibility.
The American Language. English newspapers are devoting
more or less space to invectives against the American language," which, it
seems, is getting popular in London.
It is not so much our slang which
they object to, but their souls are stirred to wrath by the 'barbarous American accent." Some time ago the newspapers of this country pro tested against the English accent. Now, it Englishmen speak with an English accent and Americans with an American accent, who speaks pure English with a correct accent? It appears from the London critics that we talk through our noses and pronounce many words incorrectly. ; And,' on this side of the water, we know that-the average Englishman talks as If he had no nose at all, and pronounces many of his words ludicrously. Which is more nearly correct? We give the full value to syllables which the Britisher slurs. We say "Saint John," but the Englishman calls it "Sinjun," with the accent on the first syllable. .We say "Dook," while the English say "Juke," Which is the worse? We confess to. giving an unpleasantly flat sound to the letter "a;" what the Englishman will not confess is his worse offense in pronouncing the same letter as if it were i." "I sy, this is a nahsty dy, daon'ty knaow!" says the Londoner, commenting on the state of the weather. But his vowels are in a much "nahstler" state. Of course, we are prejudiced judges, but on the whole we seem to have a trifle the better of the controvrsy. Indianapolis Star.
- Durncridj in Induna. State Geologist Blatshley says that a number of small diamonds have been found by gold seekers in Brown county. The stones were found while panning gold from the small streams. "I have seen eight of these," says the geologist, "and have -creditable infor: mation concerning several others." Prof. Blatchley says the diamonds, like the gold found in Brown county, are not natives of Indiana, but came in a glacial drift from some point m British America, Constipation causc3 two-thirds of all sickness in the world.

What Is It.
About a month ago Wm. Overman
and Ray Stevens while out hunting,
shot a bird, the like of which has
never been seen before in this neck of the woods. The bird is about the size of a goose, of a dark slate color
and has webbed feet The eyes aie at the base of the bill, which Is long
and hooked as that of an eagle. Al
though It has webbed feet, which would indicate th-t it Is a genuine water fowl, it was shot while roosting
In a tree on Long Point. The "bird
has been stuffed and mounted and can
be seen at Overmans. A number of
people have made guesses as to what
it is but no one seems to "know for
sure. vc have seen it and from our limited knowledge would pronounce it
a cross between an eagle and a mud hen. Culver Herald.
Mrs. Thomas A. Hendricks. Mrs. Hendricks, whose life, in the fulness cf years, came slowly to a close, was in many respects an unusual woman. Left childless early in their lives, she and her illustrious husband became all in all to each other and throughout the long .years that were given tbera together she was a helpmeet in the fullest sense of the terra. Mr. Hendricks depended greatly on her judgement, while his interests were her one thought. She survived him many years, but dwelt with him in memory apart, while she tilled in the hours of an active life with good works which had always occupied her. She was respected wherever known, loved and cherished by those who knew her best".
Corn Shredder Accident. . Amos York residing on the Mattlngly farm, just south of this city got his right hand caught in a corn shredder about 10 o'clock this morning and three. fingers were so hadlj crushed that they had to be taken off up into the hand, leaving him only the thumb and little finger on his right hand Dr. Preston amputated the fingers and thinks the mangled had can be saved, but It will be many weeks before be is able to work again. M. .York Is .a steady, industrious farmer and the shredder was his own.
Republican Love Feast - A state republican love feast will be held in Indianapolis some time Christmas week. On January 1 a call for Vie reorganization of the state committee will be issued. The district conventions will probably be held the second week In January and reorganization the following week. The subcommittee will meet within the next two weeks to formulate rules for the election of delegates to all Conventions.
Only Pumps Were Wanted. The following is related In the British Army and Navy Gazette: 'General Egertcn. commander of the British forces In Somaliland, was surprised recently by the arrival of three army chaplains who had y-me from England by way of Aden, the base for the expedition to Somaliland. The had documents to prove that they had been ordered by the British war de partment to report to General Eger ton. As most of the forces under hh command consisted of native troops, the general was at a loss to understand why an Episcopalian, a Presbyterian and a Catholic chaplain, the d'. nominations represented by the clergymi n, had been sent him. He made some Inquiries, and found that the quartermaster's department had among other things ordered three "parsons." The clerk In the British war office in London, to whom was given the order, had probably never heard of "parson," a celebrated English pumpmaker, after whom the pumps take their name and are generally called "parsons. " The clerk thought it meant parsous" in a reverend sense, and hence the order for the three parsons to proceed to the front. -General Egerton's comment on the iutelligeuce of the British war department is not tit for publication.
Several Kinds of Graft err. . Only those grafters who are caught are the ones who come in for public execration. The others IrTevery walk
of life are often the pillars of society
and looked upon as shrewd and sue cessful citizens. In Washington, i
city of mfderate size. It Is estimated
by business men that the merchauts
of the city lose annually in the neigh
borhood of $8,000,000 through bad
debts bills incurred in the majority
of cases with the distinct intention
of dead beating. And this applies t a greater or less extent to every com
munity throughout . the country.
These people are grafters. They are
not only grafters upon the merchants
with whom they deal but likewise
upon the general public. Their prac
tices make it necessary for merchants
to charge honest people from ten to
twenty per cent additional to cover
their respective losses. Only a decided
change in public sentiment will kill
grafting. Hammond Tribune.
Canning Factory Seems a Failure. A meeting was called by the mayoi
for last Friday evening in which a representative of the Industrial Con
struction Company of Chicago pre
sented a proposition for a canning
factory,, to the effect that a factor)
be fully equipped by them for the
canning of corn, beans, peas, toma
toes, etc., after which stock can be bought If desired, and upon the pay
ment of 19,600 the plant to be turned
over to the citizens or stockholders.
The proposition was deferred until
Wednesday evening for further con
sideration. A few dodgers were scat
tered over the city, but very little interest was manifested and there was a very small attendance at the city hall.
