Its population is about 285,000. The Bourbon News-Mirror is tbrityi J 1 a 1 Ä ,.1 iwo years oia ana iegms a new uiume looking brighter and Better than ever. It is an excellent local paper and we are glad that it is prospering. The United Stales supreme court has affirmed tbe constitutionality of tbe Indiana mortgage exemption act. Our own supreme court bad previously passed upon this law, pronouncing tbe same constitutional. This ends tbe controversy. Tbe official returns of the Pennsylvania election give the republicans a plurality of 280,471, equal to tbe McKinley majority iu 1896. And yet, iu days gone by, Pennsylvania was considered a democratic state. The Nappanee News, an independent democratic paper, enthusiastically supports Walter Brown's candidacy for the republican district chairmanship. The Advance, tbe republican paper at Nappanee, is opposed to Mr. Brown's candidacy. Correspondence between the Department af Justice and District Attorney Summers of Omaha shows that Attorney General Knox ordered tbe investigation of Senator Dietrich's alleged misdeeds to continue after Summers had held it up. There Is a rlug of old times in the debate on the Cuban bill In the bouse of representatives. "Differentials" and '"revenue" only pop up like old friends, in gatlin gun fashion, and the firing bas been of thespiteful kind which makes things interesting for hearers and readers. Mr. Bryan tills the Liverpool reporters that be thinks be will not again be a candidate for presiden, but that nothing has as yet been decided. In this, however, Mr. Bryan disagrees with a large majority of the people of this country who are convinced that at least one thing has been decided. On Monday the Standard Oil Com pany declared a dividend of 12 per -cent., or $12,000,000, on its capitalization af $100,000,000. Of this amount, John D. Rockefeller will receive $4,800,000 and his brother William $2.400,000. Tbis dividend, which is pa;. able Dec. 15, makes a total of 44 per cen. for tbe year. South Bend has been honored again this city, as master of the National grange. This Is Mr. Jones' fourth term as bead of the great organization of farmers and speaks well-for not only bis ability as an executive officer, hut also for bis popularity among tbe agriculturists of tbe nation. The fair co-eds of Northwestern university are again threatening to go on strike because they are subjected Vi Irksome regulations. They want perfect freedom to receive young men Cillers when and where they please, and go to theatres when and with whom they please. . If the privileges are not - granted the street railway t rike will be eclipsed. ' James Stutesman of Peru, says he expects to be a candidate lor lieutenant governor, subject to. the decision of tbe republican, state convention, Tbe only otber avowed candidate is "L. P. Newby, of Knigbstown, who came within a few votes of getting the nomination in 1900, but it Is believed" that Stutesman 's announcement will bring out other candidates, The decision of the" Supreme Court of Ohio, banded down on Tuesday, floes' not legalize Christian Science in the treatment of disease, because that question was not before tbe court. It simply decides that in tbe "absence of any law requiring persons to call In a physician in case of illness they are not obliged to. The legislature might enact such a law, but until It does people are. at liberty to use any form of faith cure. We do not understand why the United States should charge duty on anything important from the Philippines. They are a part and parcel of the United States. The only tbicz now on tbe free list is Manila hemp, of which 58,954,059 were brought to our ports, so far this year. Sujar and tobacco pay a duty of about 75 per. cent of the Dingley bill.'

The Indiana democratic congressmen voted for the Cuban reciprocity bill. They claim that It means tariff reduction. , . . .

Fourteen national banks of Chicago show a loss In deposits, between Sept. 9 and Nov. 17, of more than $11,000.000. due to the demand for money to move crops. Speaking of beet sugar, it is important to remember that from a com paratively recent small beginning bas sprung the Immense sugar production of Germany and France. Dun's review of Chicago trade says seasonable weather has brought a re vlval in activity. For the country gen erally manfactu ring concerns are ic ducing forces and labor is accepting lower wages withoutcontroversy, thus removing one threatening industrial factor. Three hundred men employed In making steel tank cars at the Stand ard Oil Company, at Whiting, have been discharged for thj purpose of curtailing expenses. Let's see, it was just announced a day or two ago that the Standard had paid 44 per cent, in dividends on Its stock so far this year. Economy is the rjad to wealth. Persons who imagine that Panama will be territorially th3 smallest re public In the world are mistakeu South American states are large and distances great. Colombia, consisting of nine states, bad an area of 513,938 square miles, nearly 15 times the area of Indiana. Panama contains 32,380 square miles and is more than twice as 'arge as Switzerland. The South Bend Times criticises the Elkhart Review for declaring that the senatorsbip of Elkhart county belongs to Elkhart." It adds: "It is a position that 'belongs' to any man who has the requisite qualifications and Is by general fitness properly equipped for tbe place. Tbe particular locality of his residence ought too be f secondary consideration." Park' j CaUIpa Trees, W. II. Freeman, secretary of the State Board of Forestry, has returned from a visit to the farm of State Senitor Parks, near Plymouth, on which Mr. Parks has within the last two years panted 17,000 catalpa trees, a tree which the arboricultural societies )f Indiana are advising where tbe soil ss in any way sandy, The trees are ill in good condition. The catalpa tree wood is used in the making of railroad ties and fence posts, being less susceptible to decay than all other woods. Each tree will net one railroad tie and two fence posts, which can be sold for $1. On a try sandy soil, the farmers realize nore by raising the catalpa? trees than thev do in growing crops. Senator Parks was tbe leader in tbe egislature In the advancement of forestry and the growing of trees. He believes that trees should be grown in Indiana and tbe number of catalpa trees that he has plauted shows that be practices what he preaches. Indianapolis News. Mouse Built of Bones. A house built entirely of fish bones will be one of tbe oddities encountered at tbe World's fair. A St. Augustine, Florida, negro, is the architect of tne unique structure. It will be 15x 18 feet and the gable ends will be an exact reproduction of the old city gates of St. Augustine. The scales of the drum are exclusively used for the work as they are susceptible to chemical treatment which renders them peculiarly adapted for building purposes. The bones used are those of the shark and an occasional, saw fish. The furniture is also a novel addition. Tbe matresses and pillows for the bed are made of bass scales which by a certain process are rendered as soft as feathers. Nine barrels of dram fish scales were required to complete the house and these have to be carefully assorted as to size to Insure uniformity. ; . Brick Ahead on Bills. The Indianapolis Independent says: "Congressman Brick, of the Thirteenth district, distinguished himself by unloading 53 bills on congress tbe first day ef the special session. It wasn't a very good day for the introduction of bills and the South Bend man was not feeling any tbe best, but when he gets to feeling chipper again no man, woman or child in the Thirteenth district will be neglected. Every one win be remembered by their faithful representative with a special act calling for one thing or another. If beats tbe distribution of seeds all boiler" South Bend Tribune. " Gtn.

America's Big Stock of Cash, If a great hoard of money is a good thing for a country, the United States mustbeina peculiarly happy condltion. According to the treasury statement, the general stock of money in the United States at the beginning of the present month was $2,724,579,721, which was an increase of about 4,000,000 In the month Of this sum $2,427,394,868 -was In circulation, an lncreaejutbat Vt of about $23,000,000 since the opening Vf "the 'preceding month, and a gain of something like $90,000,000 in the twelve

months. The difference between the amount of money In tbe country in the aggregate and the amount In cir culation represents the amount held in the treasury. At tbe begianing of tbis month the per c&pita circulation of tbe country was $29.99, a figure never closely ap proached before. There has been, with some Interruptions, a rapid increase in tbe circulation for several years, tbe gain, on the whole, being greater than that in population. In the middle of 1896, for example, at tbe time that Bryan was starting bis starting his financial reign of terror, the per capita circulation was $21.10. Bryan's defeat in that .year, and the consequent overthrow of the menace of silverism to tbe country's financial stability, sent the circulation up with considerable speed, and, save for occasional temporary declines, the tendency has been upward ever since. The New Panama Canal Treaty. .The signing of the new Panama Canal treaty, negotiated by tbis government with the representative of the Republic of Panama, brings the great project for an alh American interoceanic water way nearer a realization than it bas ever been before. 'The document which was signed on Wednesday by Secretary Hay and M. Buciau-Varill, gives this nation a a free band in the construction of tbe canal and in protecting it against any contingency that may menace its usefulness. Tbe trety gives the United States exclusive control of of a tenmile strip for the canal, instead of a six-mile strip as provided in the treaty with Colombia, in return for whicb this government is to pay a bonus of $10,000,000 down and $2:0,000 a year after nine years. The United States will maintain the neutralitv of tbe canal zone, and in case the local administration of police and judicial affairs at Panama and Colon are unsatisfactory will assume the discharge of governmental functions Id these towns. As tbis means full American control and operation of the canal upon much better terms than were offered by Colombia, and as the Internationa linterests of commerce, which have practically united in assigning to tbe United States this project of linking the oceans, are now greater and more desirous of a settlement than ever, there is little probability that any further obstructions will be placed in the way. God's School. God keeps a school for his children here on earth and one of the best teachers is disappointment. My friend, when you and 1 reach our Father's house, we shall look back and see that tbe sharp-voiced, roughvisaged teacher, disappointment, was one of the best guides to train us for It. He gave us hard lessons; be often used the rod; he often led us Into thorny paths: he sometimes stripped off a load of luxuries; but that only made v.s travel the freer and laster our heavenward way. He sometimes led us down the valley' of - the death shadow, but never did tbe promises read so sweetly as when spelled out by the eye of faith In that.very valley. Nowhere did he lead us so often, or teach us such sacred lessons, as at tbe cross o'f- Christ. Dear, old, toughhanded teacher! We will 'build a monument to thee yet, and crown it with garlands, and inscribe on it: "Blessed be the memory of disap: polntment!" Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, D, D. . . . To Increase Mexican Pensions. Wednesday's session of the senate began with tbe presentation by Dr.. Gallinger of a petition for an increase to $30 per month of all pensions granted on account of the Mexican war He said the pension committee wQuld give due consideration to the petition, but called attention to the fact that allCurvivors of the Mexican war now receive pensions of $12. " Snow Kills the Sheep. As a result of deep snow and extremely cold weather In Montana heavy sheep losses vUl resuiu. Reports from Sweet Graes county say the blinding snow has scatv-ered sheep over mountains and lowlauos Into sections where not a vestige oi food can be found.

America's Quick Action. Speaking of "quick action," there is certainly nothing 6iow about the President and Secretary Hay, when it comes to taking advantage of any situation that may arise, and getting out of it all there is in it for tbe American people. The world, has scarcely realized that there has b;en a revolution m Panamabut within two weeks tbe

new republic bas been recognized,, its minister has been recognized, its minister "Bas been 'received in Washington and a new canal treaty has been threshed out, licked into shape and signed. When anythiug is to be done it .may as well be done at once, and, so long as good judgment is exercised, tbe quicker tbe better. Now, if tbe senate will only become Imbued with the same spirit of energy and realize a good thing when it sees it and rea lize it qulcklv tberu is no good reason why work on this long-defei: 4d and much needed canal should not begin speedily. Indianapolis Journal. A Flood of Immigrants. There are sixteen states in the union no one of which contains as many people as migrated to this country last year. Tue population of Montana is only a little larger than the total increase in Italian population; that of Arizona is less than the Russian immigration. If all the Austro-Htingar-ian immigrants had settled in Idaho they would have more than doubled the population of the state. Nevada would be more than twice as thicklv inhabited as at present if it had received all the Germans.

Owen Ungeris now sympathizing with the poor down trodden married man. The adjustment of home affairs, nd especially the putting up of stoves and tacking down carpets is somewhat of a burden in fine fall weather, but with the sudden change that came Monday night, to the uninitiated it is appalling. We cannot verify tbe report but it is w hispered that Owen was out before daylight Wednesday morning after a bucket of water. This was not much of a job, but tbe pump failed to respond, which necessitated priming. ,It takes no very large stretch of the Imagination to understand tbe plight of aneophite in the pump priming business with tbe thermometer plunging along near ezro. Bourbon Advance. School Supply Steal. Charges of irregularities and reckless expenditnres of $10,000, for nearly $6,0.00 of .which there is said to have been no adequate return, are features of the report of the committee of business and profes iooal men appointed by Mayor Knotts some time ago to investigate expenditures by the Hammond board of education. . The report covers the time from December, 1901, to last spring! It alleges collusion between members of ttw board, showing the differences between the market prices and the price paid for maps, charts and school furniture. It Is charged that contracts for supplies were let without bids and cost the taxpayers from 60 to 80 per cent more taan their market value at the time they were bought. Durbin lor Vice President: The logical candidate for the vicepresidency, as things now stand, is Governor Winfield S, Durbin of Indiana. Te state has two senators whose names have been mentioned, but they are such strong men in their present official positions that it would be unwise to disturb either.

Need of a Larger Merchant Marine. What Secretary of the Treasury Shaw said in bis speech at the aunual dinner of the New York Chamber of commerce concerning the necessity for restoring the American merchant marine to its old-time place, when it carried tbi bulk of our foreign commerce, will meet with hearty approval n the. West. Tbe 'secretary called ; attention to the fad that Our merchant marine i 'our only unprotected industry.1' Äü act of Congress, approved by . George Washington, frequently assailed but never repealed, gives the American ship builder and American ship owner a monopoly of our coastwise trade. This policy has given, us the most efficient service and tbecheapest coastwise rates In the world. He further called attention to the fact that our vast railway systems, the best In the world, have been built up largely through government encouragement. Our factories turn out more manufactured product than any two countries in the world, our agn cultural produc. is far greater than that of any country on the globe and

our mineral output has passed the billion-dollar line. And yet we are carrying in Ameri can bottoms today only one-third as much f-jretgn comjnerce as we carried furty years ago when our total foreign trade was only one-fourth of what it Is now. ' If there were no other consideration involved than mere carrying of I freight across the water perhaps ou apparent indifference to tbe building up of a merchant marine might be excused. Unfortunately, however, the weighty consideration of military and naval protection for our commerce in the event of war between two or more European powers is Involved. The sentiment of the West is beyond all doubt favorable to a scheme of government aid that will actually build up our merchant marine. It is not in favor of a subsidy plan that will merely redound to the benefit of existing transportation companies without opening up a single new trade route across tbe ocean or encouraging the buildin? of a single new ship. -As the measures that have been offered fail to come up to these requirements they are not acceptable to the people. Record Herald. Would Trobably, Be Better. Dispatches indicate that the Chinese government is all at sea concerning Russia's policy in Manchuria, and does not know which way to turn for nelp. In its Impotence and fear it is ikely as not to turn to Japan, and it would not be surprising if the two powers should come together on a basis of opposition to Russia. A curious feature of the Imbecility that prevails in the Chinese government is the fear of the Manchus that the loss of Manchuria may mean the ending of their prestige and the inauguration of a new dynasty in China Probably it would, but it would seem hardly possible that any new dynasty could be worse than the present one.

Some of these are important, and will cause much discussion when taken up. Mr. Jones demands that free, rural mail delivery be placed on the same footing as city delivery, . that postal savings banks be established, that the construction of a ship cat al connecting the Mississippi rriver with the great lakes and the Atlantic ocean be promptly undertaken, and also a few other minor things of less cost and importance.

' An editor of a publication at Delphi, in an effort to make a coarse jest on tbe subject of a local wedding, ran afoul of the United States postal laws, and as a result thereof pleaded guilty to a federal indictment. The incident calls attention to the fact that a very large class of people throughout this country carry tbe time-honored weeding jocularity altogether too far, and while they seldom go to indecent lengths in their efforts to be funny, as In tbe present Instance their "humorous" attempts usually smack . of a coarseness that Is entirely out of harmony with the civilization of the day.

THANKING VOU I AM. ß. Gets It at Last in This Conntry Through the Opposition to Wood's Confirmation. SENATE COKinTTEE HEARS HIII fierious Charges Made Against tho O.Hcer Advance tl So Ilapidly in the Army. Washington, Nov. 21. Major Eftes G. ltathlione, formerly director of posts In Cuba, was given a hearing by the senate committee on mil'tary affairs, which is Investigating the charges against General Leonard Wood, in opposition to his confirmation as major general. Some time ago, after Rathbone's trial and -convict Ion In Cula on the charge of niisaprjroprlation Cf funds, he appealed to congress to In some manner give him a hearing in this country, alleging that the trial at Havana was a travesty of justice. He did not get a hearing, hut the opposition tu Wood's confirmation has given him his chance. There axe other motives behind the opposition, however, than anything Wood did in Cuba. Old army officers were not at all pleased when a. civilian was promoted over their heads- to militarj- positions, and there are senators hi sympathy with these oficers. Charged with Accepting Money. Iiefore the committee Major Kathbonp, reiterated the charges made several times before to the secretary of war, the senate committee on relations with Cuba and in public statements following his trial in connection with Cuban postal frauds. lie filed specific written charges with the committee. He alleged that General Wood while military governor of Cuba had accepted money from the Jai Alal, which was, he raid, a gambling concern, and asserted that he had made a personal friend and boon companion of an exconvict. He also charged him with giving instructions of an entirely unconstitutional and un-United Statesan character to the courts. Other Serious Accnuatlons. Other charges were made 'against General Wood as follows: With i-om-plicity.wlth another army officer in the preparation and publication of an article reflecting discreditably upon an officer who ranked both of them, in violation of an accepted cancn of military senrice, and constituting an offense known as "conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman;" with directing and causing the auditor of Cuba, by a military order, to violate the law In the treatment of ae-counts; with utilizipg the services of an ex-convict, with whom he was In intimate personal association, in an effort to displace his superior officer, and by such means to secure to himself the vacancy thus created. Rathbone says he can prove all this and hns submitted much documentary evidence. A to Instructions to Courts, With reference to the charge that Governor General Wood had exceeded his authority in giving Instructions to the courts Major Rathbone -said that the general had pursued this course in the Cuban postal case when he (Rathbone) was under prosecution. This was. he said, in violation of article 3S7 of the penal code of Cuba and in a manner prejudicial to the rights and Interests of .those under trial. He also charged General Wood with authorizing the use of ex-parte depositions in the postal cases, a proceeding which he asserted is contrary to law and the principles of law, and in this case contrary to Instructions given by the secretary of war. . OTHER WITNESSES TO BE HEARD Prominent One Is Attorney Conant, Who - Was Close to Wood In " ' Cuba. A summons issued by the senate military affairs committee has been served on Ernst Lee Conant,. of the Xevr York law firm of Page & Conant, citing him to appear before the committee today in connection with the Investigation. Conant has been In Washington several days prosecuting Cuban cases before the Spanish claims committee. It ls understood' that the subpoena was issued at the request of Major ttathbonv. Conant will be expected to give testimony as to the character of the Jal Alal, the alleged gambling establishment which General .Wood la charged with having given a ten-year concession to operate In Havana. . . Conant went to Cuba a an attache of the evacuation commission, and while there he acted as the legal advisor, Of General Ludlow, In command of the department of Havana. Later he served General Wood in the same capacity, and iz is declared he is competent to give some inside facts relating to the manner In which the concession to the Jai Alal was obtained. Another witness summoned by the military affilrs ccmnittcs is Herbert J. Erown, a newepaper nrxji who .was

There is considerable discussion in official circles here over Semitor Lodge's declaration that the United States should secure St. Pierre and Miquelon, thereby making herself completely independti.t of Newfoundland regarding fishery contest ioi s. instead of allowing Eng' land l6 sfcure them. It is pointed out her? that Newfoundland could just as completely cripple t. Pierre if it came Into United States possession as she is now doing, in spite of France, through the? operation of her bait act. Furthermore. It Is urgni that Great Rritain and Canada would never allow the United States lo secure such an outpost dominating tLo Gulf of St I-awrence. Newspaper comments Indicate tbe existence of a fear that Sinator Lodge's utterances iiM-.au troultle along the line of the recent Alaskan boundary award. Destroying Respect for Law. The Columbia City Post, savs: President RKsevelt is rijrlit in asserting that in the punishment of scoundrels, public sentiment mustback up tbe pnsecutor, thejudg-e and the jury. Sickly sentiment and sympathy fr eiffenders must not Interrupt the enforcement of such punisnment as the law prescribes. The law,, like death, is supposed to be no respecter f persons, but when it comesto enforcing- the law, men are swayed from their pliin duty by many outside influences. And that very thingIs doing: rae.re to destroy tlie respect of people for the law and the men. who are expected to enforce it than any either one agency. No wonder crime flourishes under such conditions. No wonder It is found amony all classes of men and in all grades of society. " PUNY CHILDREN. It Is a fact that quite a large percentage of children born into this world are so unfortunate &3 to come of parents whose physical condition is such that the child gets but a poor start in life, and the result is that as the days and weeks pass by the poor little one doesnot seem to grow in weight or strength, but remains through no fault of its own ...... weak, debilitated ana peensn, ana cries the greater part of the time, thereby giving misery and anxiety to its parents and comfort to no one.
