A state hxed like that can afford to spend $101,000.000 in canal Improvement. Congress has dis.:overel that the government Is paying for a mile of Carriages iised by cl .rks in making social calls and a till has been introduced to correct the abuse. St. Joseph county with nearly onetbird of a convention's delegates bound by the unit r tie is a pretty difficult proposition in a political convention. An apheval will come sooner or iater. Belief is widespread in Panama that the Colombian armv has started to march on the isthmus.. The Panama armv has 12,000 men readv for the field Preparations are being made to arm the friendly Indians in the interior. The government employes at Washington who are si wrought up over the ruling that adds half an hour's R-o;tlied work to their day's worlc, fchoird n .l forget that it is the inallen aMe right of every free-born American to quit his job whenever" he Chores. Mr. Brian's main contention in his sp'?och at Indianapolis was that money has gradually come to have too great a place in deciding political contests In c!os stites. There was much truth in hs statements. There is nothing nn re despicable than the purchase of votes, and nobody lower than the mm who sells Iiis vote. But when the people are thoroughly aroused on anv great question, all the money in the world ctn not win them to the support of men or measures that they disapprove. The Bourbon Advance is booming William O'Keefe for the nomination of state treasurer on the democratic ticket. Mr O'Keefe would, no doubt, be the strongest caodiJate that the democrats could name and can, we believe, get the nomination if he wants It. The fact that Mr. O'Keefe has turned into the countv treasury $2370 of interest received on county fuods during the past two years, is a strong card in his favor. But no democrat can be elected to a state office in Indiana thisyear. and Mr. O'Keefe being well aware of this fact, will probably defer his candidacy until there is some hope of suceess at the polls. Governor Cummins, of Iowa, in his inaugural address, declared that be was in favwro a readjustment of tariff schedules in such a way as to compel competition. He advocated reciprocity with Canaia. "We have reached a point where a billion dollars substantially measures the value of our annual exports of agricultural prod ucts," said Governor Cummins, with1 reference to reciprocity, "andabalfbillion the value of our exports in manufactures. So far as our own capacity goes, we can Increase both indefinitely, but if we do so it must be through the medium of. international trade arrangements trade bargains that in the language of diplomacy and politics are known as reciprocity." "There is a great deal more need of aj bill limiting the time that clerks may, serve when appointed io positions at Washington than there is for a civil' pension bill. No body of 'employes' have a better chance to save; money, than government employes and If they are not able te take care of themselves when they get too old to work It is their own fault. Our supposed civil service reform begins at the wrong end. It proposes to keep men in office for life. . Such a system is not good for the govern nent or its em ployes. . Clerks should never be retain ed in office longer than eight years and most' of them should goat the end of four years. No young man of ability can afford to be tied op zs a Covernii ent cleric for a life time and ttz government cennot tCTcrd to 'enploy clerks that have no ability.

Representative Douglas, of Hew York, has Introduced a bill In Congress providing tor an ocean mail subsidy, the ships so aided to be available in time of war.

Japan has returned another diplomatic answer to Russia and it now seems probable that the affairs of the nations involved will be straightened out without war. . Forty-six- years ago a democratic cabinet officer said that no Central or South American country would hi permitted "to close the gates of - intercourse on the great highways of the world, and justify the act on the pretension that these avenues of trade and travel belong to them." There is a long interval between Secretary Lewis Cass and some of the democrats of today. Indications now are that severa prominent republicans will contest for the congressional nomination in this district at the next convention. Among those already put forward by their friends are Hon. George E. Clark and Hon. A. L. Brick, of South Bend, Hon. L. W. Royse. of Warsaw, Hon. George W. Holman. of Rochester and Senator Parks, of Plymouth. Pulaski, Starke and Elkhart counties are yet to hear from and each of these counties has good congressional timber. The democrats of Marshall county will elect precinct committees January 30, but will not elect their county chairman until February 13. Democrats of Marshall county always give their men time to canvass the situation and thus make the best selection possible in choosing a county chair man. This plan is far superior to choosing officers the nest day after precinct committees are chosen. It gives committeemen time to select the bestmen to manage their campaigns. It is a good thing to haye a "coal palace" at the St. Louis fair, representing Indiana. Displays of this kind have an effect not to be otherwise obtained. It would le equally wise to have a "stone palace," though Indiana stone is incomparably better known than Indiana coal. It would also be wise to have a typical oil der rick and machinery to advertise that Indiana is agreat oil state. All these things would fix on the minds of millions in an unforgettable way the fact that Indiana is a State where coal and stone and oil are found. The Elkhart Review thinks state and congressional conventions should not be called before July. A few years ago no party tho ;ght of renominating a congressman during the first session of his term in congress, before the people knew whether he would favor good legislation . or bad legislation. Now a man is elected to congress, the first session to which he is elected does not meet for more than a year, and before that time he has a machine completed tc secure a renominatlon. A man who attempted to do anything of that kind twenty years ago was sat down upon so hard that be never got up again. Speaking of the recommendation of Secretary Shaw to convert some of the silver now stored away in government vaults into subsidiary coin, the Chicago Chronicle says: "Anything which will make it less difficult to maintain the parity of this enormous quantity of credit currency is to be welcomed. The conversion of any portion of it into subsidiary. coin needed : for actual circulation would obviously contribute tp this end. . Coins actually needed for current use would not be presented for redemption to ' any ' inconvenient extent. , The suggestion ought to be. adopted.' v " " "r "' ; All of the best informed newspaper correspondents say that Senator Hanna is not a candidate for president, and .that the ,Ohjp statesman, has declared emphatically that the only hope of republican success lies in renominating . President Roosevelt. No true friend of Senator Hannaor the republican party thinks . for a. moment of nominating anybody but Roosevelt. He is the logical candidate. The rominatlon of anybody els would be an admission of republican failure and would be declared a Victory! foi Wall street gnd the enemies of the policy of the party. The woodsywquld be full of democrats cocking presidential nomination If hiding democrats believed Vizi Rcccevelt would not be

A few years ago the Democrats In Congress were attacking President McKinley because be was too slow In recognizing the independence of Cuba. Now they are abusing President Roosevelt because he was too fast in recognizing Panama.

Prince Louis Napoleon says that his Russian regiment will be the first to start for the seat of war in case of hostilities. Even this, however, does not seem to scare Japan, as it is generally conceded that Napoleons are not what they used to be. The record of Gen. Chaii'ee, the new head of the army, is without an equal in the annals of American military history. He entered ths volunteer army as a private at the age of 17, and after 43 years of continuous service has attained the rank of lieutenant-general. "The new state committee is a unit fur Senator Beveridge's re-election to the senate," a well-known state official is quoted as having said Wednesday. "Every man on the committee is pledged to his re-election: Then, besides, seven of the thirteen are stauQCh Beveridge supporters and can be banked upon to be for anything the senator wants. Two years ago Beveridge had but four members of the state committee. Then the secret plan was to defeat him for re-election. Beveridge's friends became active and the handwriting on the wall was never plainer. It was 'either oe for Beveridge or lose out entirely.' Ti:ere will be no more fight." Was It Wise or Prudent? In discussidg the outcome of therepublican district convention at South Bend, the Times of that city says: M xji man is a clever gentleman. He is likely to make an excelleut chairman certaiuly a better one than some of his predecessors were. . Rutthat will not atone for an indignity deliberately offered Rome C. Stephenson and his followers. It is quite likely that Congressman Brick may have reasons, satisfactory to himself, for inviting such a contest as that of last Tuesday. To unbiased observers such jeasons area profound enigma absolutely Incomprehensible. Rome C. Stephenson Is a man of hi'jh character and excellent reputation. He was a candidate for the chairmanship two years ago, and was tun ed down. Having, notwithstanding this, loyally supported Mr. Brick, it may naturally be assumed that the congressman would have been glad that matters so shaped themselves as to render Mr. Stephenson's election possible this year, without friction and without embarrassment to anybody. Walter Brown disposed of himself. Frank W. Boss was an impossibility fr&ü: the beginning of his candidacy. rinc stung, reliable republican counties of the di.strict were practically a unit fur Mr. Stephenson.. His defeat by a scratch, is a humiliatrn and a sting to them. The affront offered them is pretty certain to be resented Would a really sagacious politician invite euch a condition of affairs? Mr. Brick can answer for himself. It's up to him. He may have gained a "great victory. "And again he may have kindled a fire that will not be easily ettinguished. just Every Day Hcroe. Some people say that the papers contain nothing but tales of the baseness of human nature. Such should read of the terrible wreck of the steamer Walkerman off Cape Hatte ras Christmas night. Storm-tossea In icy seas the Walkerman began to go down. The boats were lowered, the women going first. The terrific waves proved too much for one boat; It bad to be lightened. There was nothing to throw overboard, so the mate in command said somebody would have to get out. Three sailors volunteered to jump into the biting sea. Three saildrs volunteered to jump into the biting sea. They ' strapped on life preservers and plunged in. ... Cakes of Ice were floating everywhere. One of them struck a swimmer in the chest and broke three ribs. The hands and feet of the same man were frozen. In this condition the three men kept afloat until morning, when they were picked up. These "simple sailors did not appear to know they were heroes. They just did their duty. Indianapolis Star. A Prisoner in Her Own House, Mrs. W. H. Layba, of 100 Agnes Ave., Kansas City, Mo., has for several years been troubled with severs hoarse nees and at times a hard cough, which ebe says, Would keep me in doors for days, I was prescribed for by physicians with no noticeable results. A friend gave me part of a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy with instructions to closely follow the directions and I wish to State hat after the first day I could notice a decided change for the tctt3r, and at this time after using' it fcr two wess, have no hesitation in savin"" thxt 1 realize that I era entirely Cured. Thi3 remedy is for eila by all druista:

Brit Fried Defeit Few appreciate the strain that Co gressman Brick underwent from the time the vote of St. Joseph county was called for until it was finally announced by Chairman Wurzer. During the few minutes delay the fortunes of the congressman were tottering. Marshall county did not present the expected solid front, as four delegates were for Stephenson and in this contest every vote counted. This delection from Marshall county made it absolutely necessary for Mr. Brick to have his own county as a unit. But four delegates broke loose. One was satisfied when matters were fully explained to bira, and then the second came Into line, but the other two, and they came from the Fifth ward, were obdurate. They wanted to take a smash at the machine. At once they were the center of an argumentative crowd. It was finally" demonstrated to them that defection from Brick meant political isolation and contempt, The persuasive methods of the Brick leaders prevailed in the end; the four Stephenson ballots were torn up and the day saved for the congressman, who was keeping in the rear part of the hall, not caring to get into too great promiuence. South Bend Times.

Russia's Weak Points. A nation that engages in war should be strong it every point. A chain .is no stronger than its weakest link, and a nation whose war equipment has one weak or vulnerable point is tatallv weak. It is believed Russia has two weak points. These are not her naval or land forces, for In both of these she is strong enough to cope with almost any power. Her army and navy have not been tested In recent years, but there is reason :o believe they are equal to any demands that may be made on them. Her weak points are her finances and her facilities for armv m transportation. War is au enormously costly business, and iu modern times even a short war is very costly to those engaged in it. The Crimean war of 1854-oti cost $1,525,000,000, the Franco German war or 1870-71 cost U, 580,000,000, aud the Russo-Turkish war of 1876-77 cost $u5o,000,000. The Boer . war in South Africa, though not alon one, cost Great Britian $1,000, Ouo.ooo. Such figures as these might well appall almost any government contemplating war, and Russia above almost any other. Her people are, for the must part, poor, her sources of revenue are few, her chief source of wealth is exports wrung from the toil of a slovenly and half-nomadic population, and she has a national debt that compels her to pay in interest charges to foreign bondholders $140,000,000 a year. Her public debt is, in round figures, $3,333,000,000, or nearly four times that of the United States, which is forty times as able to carry a debt. Russia borrows money every year to pay the interest on her national debt. True, she has a gold reserve behind her paper currency, but she would hardly dare to draw on that lor war purposes could not, in fact, without causing a suspension .of specie payments and a financial crash throughout the empire. Russia's other weak point is her lack of transportation facilities for a large army and supplies. In the event cf war with Japan these would have to be sent to the seat of war bv the branch of the Transsiberian Railway which crosses Manchuria to Dalney, at the southern extremity of Manchuria, on the Korean bay side. The Transsiberian Railway is a great engineering work and well equipped for ordinary travel and traffic, but foreign experts say it would be utterly inadequate as a line of military communication. Indianapolis Journal. Christian Church Gets Preacher. Elder Nathan Hoyt Sheppard. of South Bend, who held a meeting for the Church of Chris: at Kuhn 's hall in December, has been engaged by the state officers of the Christian Church to take up the work at Plymouth for 1904. Mr. Sbeppard.s last charge was the 7th Christian church at Indianapolis, where in three and one half years tbemembership was increased 250 and $3500 paid on a church debt. He will move to Plymouth in a few days. The church will reorganize their Sunday School at 10:30 next Sunday and will have preaching at 7 o'clock In the evening. The church membership will build a church' building nest spring or early summer. The church people are anticipating a great outlook for the future. The Voice of Humanity. Japan will not purchase any American-canned meats in case she goes to war with Russia, the announcement being made that the Japenese army will subsist on ricj and dried fish. This being the case, we cry out on behalf of progress, and humanity to have the war stopped. Chicago Recordnerald.
