In the appointment of Lower for

sight policeman the mayor ignored all the prominent republicans of the city and was governed almost absolutely by one individual. Between April and November a corn crop was raised in the united States valued at $952,000,000. Digging gold is a slow business compared with plowing corn. The republican love feast at Indian apolis Wednesday January 30. 1903 was the' largest and most enthusiastic meeting of tbe kind ever held in this state or any other state. Anent the request of Secretary Wil son for $500,000 to fight the cotton boll weevil, tbe Washington Post sug gests that an appropriation of $500, 000,000 Is needed for tbe extermina tion of the political boodle bug. Mr. Bryan sajr. be returns from Europe with his views as to silver unchanged. This is not surprising. WThen the elections of 1896 and 1900 failed to shake him there was no longer hope that anything would change his views. The Western packers indignantly deny any knowledge of a combine to boost the price of meat. Some audacious miscreant must have started this vile rumor with the malicious intent of casting odium upon our most benevolent trust. The business men of Chicago found anew proposition confronting them Saturday night, when after a large trade they found quantities of money on band and no banks open in which to deposit it. Many of them sat up all night guarding tbe cash lest it get away from them by tbe bands of the thugs and thieyes of that great city. In anticipation of the Panama canal, New Orleans is already organ izing a steamship company with a capital of $5,000,000 to operate be tween this country and China by way of the canal. The ew South" realizes that it will receive the greatest benefit from this important engineering work, hence Southern senators are not inclined to oppose the treaty. Great catastrophes bring out strong contrasts of character. . The recent Chicago disaster was attended by some remarkable exhibitions of hero ism, but it also developed disgraceful barbarism. The throng of ghouls and thieves whom the police had to fighM while they were removing the dead and rescuing the injured presented a loathsome phase of human nature. A bill has been introduced into congress that will, if it becomes a law, make a radical and wholesome change in the liquor question. The Uli proposes that before the internal revenue collector delivers a liquor license to a person under tbeinternal revenue law the applicant must show a license from the local authorities. If this bill should become a law it would do away with the quart shop and its attendant evils. The dispatch of American marines for Korea shows that our government is taking a close interest in affairs in that quarter of the world. The Un.ted States will be neutral, no matter how many nations may become involved in the war, if war should come. But we have interests ia Korea which must be looked after. We have a legation which will be; protected. The administration has all these things in mind and may be relied on to look after tbe concerns of its citizens in the Orient as in all the rest of the world. In foreign as in domestic questions the . republican party is the party of sanity, intellegence and courage. There is a dispcsitlon to go at the bottom of things In Chicago. Investigations already instituted reveal a condition of affairs that points to rottenness ic every department of govarnment. This, as a matter of course, has had its effect upon social conditions. When rottenness reigns supreme above, rottenness is pretty certain to reign supreme below. The spirit of lawlessness has been unbridled in Chicago for some yeat . Things have been growing worse from year to year. As a matter of frxt, anarchy has prevailed there the greater part of the year just ended. There is security for neither life nor property. A popular upheaval is necessary to avert even greater dUtsters than thcc3 that have clrsr-dy befallen the TTis-sisst city Iii th3 civilized vrcrld. Couth Esnd Times.

Total Abstinence and Long. Life. Once apon a time to be exact, in 1840 an Englishman, who was known as a crank because he was a teetotaler, applied for a life insurance policy from a London company. He thought that because of his abstinence from liquor he oukiht to be given a reduced premium rute.t Instead, tin; Company attempted to charge him an txtra premium. It regarded him as a po-r risk because he did not take a little wine for his stomach's sake. The outcome was that the Englishman in his wrath founded a new life Insurance company the United Kingdom Temperance and General Provident Institution. This company offered special advantages to teetotalers, and while it also Insured moderate drinkers it kept the two classes of policy holders sharply separate from one another, The officials of the company have steadily Insisted that their experience justified the statement that the teetotalers had better chances for long

life thau the moderate drinkers, but many life insurance' experts have doubted the truth of the assertion. Now, however, the actuary of the company has maae an exhaustive study of the facts, with results so con vincing that even unfriendly experts cannot gainsay them The cases he examined were those of whole-life" assurers, the number being 29,00o abstainers and 32,000 nonabstainers. For nonabstainers the "expectation of life" is shown to be practically identical with that, at corresponding ages, as snown by the latest mortality tables based on the combined experience of the Britssh life companies. For the abstainers, however, there is shown an expectation that is substantially 10 per cent better throughout the working years of life. Amtrica's Greatest Disaster. The burning of the Iroqauis theater in Chicago Wednesday during a matinee performance of a popular spectacular play was accompanied by an appalling loss of life. In the extent of its fatalities and the horror of its deaths the disaster has never been equaled in this country. On December 26, 1811, a theater at Richmond, Va., was burned, and seventy-five lives were lost. In December, 187G, the Brooklyn theater burned during a nisjht performance and over a hundred persons were burned to death. Since then many theaters have been burned in different cities, sometimes with loss of life, but nothing at all approaching tbe proportions of this disaster. Tbe loss of life in the great Chicago fire of 1871 was estimated at 250. Some coal mine or flood disasters may have exceeded this one in actual fatalities, but none has equaled it in dreadful details. Coming Iii the midst of holjday week, it has plunged a great city into mourning, and will send a thrill of horror throughout the country. Speed Causes Railroad Wrecks. Several years ago Mr. Westinghouse, bead of the great air brake firm, warned the railroad managements of the country that the speed of passenger trains was fast exceeding the power of air brakes to control. This warning has been utterly disregarded despits the fact that every railroad manager recognizes that the railroads, urged by public demand, have gone speed mad. This fact has been emphasizes by the railroad wrecks which have occurred duriDg the past three months. The wrecks on the Baltimore and Ohio and on the Pere Marquette railroads, if not contributed to by high speed, were examples of the terrible results which happen when disaster overtakes a train running at a high rate of speed. In one case more tnan 60 people were killed and more than 70 injured, and in the other more than a score met death and a many more severe Injury. In each case tbe trains were running at least 60 miles an hour. Cares For Her Defenders. The United States cares for her defenders. The expenditures of this country for tbe fiscal year ending June 30, were $640,323,450.28. The biggest item in the budget was for pensions. $138,425,646.07. The sum spent on pensions was nearly 22 per cent of the total expenditures of the country, and.wasthe largest single item. For the care of soldiers, their widows and families, the government spent, lb round numbers, $4,000,000 more than for the postal service, $14,000,000 more than lor civil and miscellaneous affairs, $20,000,000 more than for the War Department, and $56,000.000 more than on the navy department. -Rural ' Route Ughliiicn. . Senator I'airbanks has introduced a bill for the regulation of salaries for rural mail carriers. Tto bill provides tbaWor first year, S600'; for the second year; $700; and for the third and each subsequent year, $850. The salary is to rbe j-Jd monthly and should the bill l, :ca a iavi the postmaster-general nc Z consider the services formerly rendered. Old carriers would get the benefit of the maximum salary.

IS CAUGHT

IN THE ACT Night Policeman Lower Apprehended While Looting a Store. BALL & CO. ROBBED Stolen Overcoat Found in His Possession and Suit Case Filled With Miscellaneous Articles Recovered. Pleads Guilty and is Sent to Prison for Two to Fourteen Years. Ira Lower, the night watch was arrested in Ball & Co's. store at 2:30 New Years morning by officers Glass and deputy Sheriff Voreis. For several weeks Ball & Co. had been missing goods from their store and they found that the thief had been entering the store by unlocking the front door and locking it again when he went out. There were reasons for suspicioning Kight Watch Lower, and Deputy Sheriff Vories and Joseph Glass secreted themselves in the store Thursday night. Everything was quiet until about 2:30 in the morning when the front door was unlocked and officer Lower entered. He went to where the overcoats were kept tried on several, selected a twenty dollar coat, put on his old coat and started to leave the store with the new coat on his arm. Just before he reached the door he was arrested and taken to jail. Friday John Klapp with whom he had been rooming in the Kendall block, reported that there was a new suit case under Lower's bunk. This was found to have been stolen from the store and in it were silk handkerchiefs, rings, hose, silk garters, a lady's hand bag and various other articles all having on them the cost mark of Ball & Co. and later in the day a pair of rubber boots that he had stolen were found. Where he got the key to unlock the door is a mystery. Lower has always been a bad character, but seemed to have some good qualities. He is and has been for years one of the most profane and vulgar men in the city, He associated with the worst class of women and was appointed night watch by Mayor Knott over the protest of the best republicans of the city. Lower entered a plea of guilty in circuit court Saturday afternoon and Judge Bernetha gave him an indeterminate sentence from two to fourteen years. He was taken to the Michigan City prison Monday. But Me Didn't Care. "There was a drummer took sick and died here three weeks ago," said the laudiord of the tavern at Polkville, Ark. "He was a thick-set, guitar-play in' sort of feljow, and the girl he was engaged to marry came over from Torpidvllle to attend the funeral; also frjm .Waupsey; also from Peapack: also from Tonganoxie; alsoJ from som'ers in Kansas and some up in Missouri. Seein how many there was of 'em, they put away their engagement rings, and, riggeratively speakin', organized a new society and invented a yell. And it was a pretty durned expressive one, too, lemme tell you!" Early Closing of Grocery Stores.

Something in a Name. Is there anything in a name? That of Iroquois belongs to one of the savagest and most warlike of tbe early Indian tribes of the country and that of Bluebeard is synonymous of all that is cruel, ferocious and barbarous in the history of individuals, mythical or real. May not ihis combination of fateful names have had something to do with the holocaust at Chicago. Bluebeard presided over a veritable charnel house such as followed the production of- tbe play at the Iroquois theater when the greatest fire tragedy of modern times happened. The superstitious will believe that the names bad something to do with the fearful catastrophe. South Bend Tribune. A Pretty Wedding.
