Uncle Sam's stand for the open door appears to be the main reason why Russia and Japan are cooling down. It will soon be necessary to get a new film for the Gorman presidential kinodrome. The one now in service has been worn to a shadow. ' A candidate for the presidency may be too much of a silent man. Judge JParker will have to offer a few remarks if he is to be taken seriously. There is no special reason why Hearst dernonstrati jns should not continue to be pulled off In Indiana so long as Mr. Hearst continues to have the price. We are living In an era of wonders. We have the horseless carriage and the wireless telegraph, and here is the good old democratic party preparing to run a candidate for president on an issueless platform. Among the prominent men men tioned as aspirants for conrgess we find Col. James S. Dodge. Mr. Dodge is an able lawyer, an excellent gentle man and lias hosts pi friends in Mar shall county. Christmas Dav was celebrated in the South by a huudred murders and half a dozen lynchings. It is dangerous to be a private citizen in the South during the holidays as it is to playSanta Claus in other partsof the country. J. G. Johnsun, of Kansas, chairman of the executive committee of the democratic national committee, says that Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois Missouri and tne Pacific slope are on fire for William Randolph Hearst. It Is always easy to start a contigration when one has money to burn. Congressman Watson has endorsed the candidacy of C. L. Henry for republican national committeeman from Indiana, to succeed Capt. Harry New. It is understood that Congressman nemenway and Brick have also aligned themselves with Mr. Henry. Congressman Overstreet has declared for Captain New. Senator Ilanna, who had a severe attack of grip in New York several weeks ago, is sulTenug from a recurrence of that illness, and is confined to his bed. He is under the care of a physician, who ordered that be must have rest and not be disturbed. It is stated his illness is not serious, and that be may be better in a few days. The legislatures of Mississippi and Louisiana have directed their senators to vote for the ratification of the treaty which will make possible ,the construction of the Panama canal. Whatever maybe said of the v politicians of the Solid South, the people of that section are getting tired of antagonizing their own best interests merely that they may Indulge the habit of being "agin the government. A Washington dispatch says: Congressman Crumpacker, who has returned from Indiana, where he has been since before the holidays, is going to seek early opportunity during the treek to tell President Roosevelt that the Republicans of Indiana are overwhelmingly for him; that their feeling Is not half-hearted and indifferent, but that they are rallying to the Roosevelt standard with unbounded enthusiasm. ' This government was in existence about eighty years before its lawmakers succeeded in persuading themeelves that under the constitution there was such a thing as authority to issue paper .money direct, and then only by reason of the emergency of war. Who knows how long this country would have dragged along with wild cat money, state banks of Issue, and that sort of thingif the government hadn't gotten into a pinch for ready cosh to carry on the war for its preservation Queer things are discovered by digging into hietory. L'cuth Band Times.

President Roosevelt signed the joint resolution of Congress, Tuesday, au thorizing the Harrison Monumental Association to erect a monument to Gen. Benjamin Harrison on the federal building grounds at Indianapolis.

Congressman Brick's friends are threatening that in case t-ome one jther than Brick receives the nomination he cannot be elected. In other words they intend bolting the ticket. Of course it's all right for Brick and bis friends to do this; but how they squeal if some poor mortal whom the Congressman grossly Ignored even remains neutral during a campaign. With the Hon. William Katzenjammer Hearst smearing the red ink 'jxi extra editions of a penny dreadful and the non. William Jennings Bryan issuing a daily edition of The Common er, visitors to this year's democratic national convention at St. Louis will not be compelled to go out to the World's Fair grounds in order to pet their fill of innocent amusement. No more touching evidence of the prevalence of prosperity has been ad duced than is contained in the deci sion of our democratic friends to go up against St. Louis hotel rates during their national convention. The party's Wall street expectations may, however, be offered as a reason why the Democracy feels flush enough to crucify itself upon a cross of gold for a whole week. It is announced that the Coliseum, one of the Chicrgo buildings ordered closed after the Iroqucis theater fire, will be reopened for the national Re publican convention. There may he people who think any sort of building good enough for a Republican conven tion, but it is a narrow view to take. No doubt the convention that meets in Chicago next summer will contain some good men who ought not to be burned, eith r in this world or the next. Louisville Couner-Journai: Frank M. Pickerl who was the boss of the Marshall county delegation at the South Bend district convention has been re-appointed postmaster at Argos. This is a fair sample of what Congressman Brick intends doing in case he is renominated and elected this year. The' Plymouth postofflce has more clerks under Yockey than at any time since Plvmouth had an office and yet the service is much worse than at any time during its history. The patrons or this office should awaken and see to it that the candidate for congress whoever he may be will pledge himself to better the service at this office. WALTER BROWN INDICTED, The Federal Grand Jury at Indianapolis Returns True Bills. The expected happened . when Justus L. Brodrick and Wilson L. Collins, president and cashier, respectively, of the defunct Indiana National Bank, were re-arrested Friday by United States Marshall Petit, of Indianapolis, as the action of the federal grand jury, which suddenly closed its work this forenoon, bad been auticipated. The men were arrested on warrants some weeks ago issued on affidavits filed by a bank examiner, and were under $5,000 bond each. Marshal Petitt will take them to Indianapolis tomorrow unless they are able to furnish new bonds under tne indictment. Marshal Petitt was accompanied by Deputv Rankin, who went to the home of Walter Brown, and then, having been informed that Brown was at Lima, Ind., where his young son is sick at a military school, left for that place at 7 o'clock, though his destination and errand were not admitted. Brodrick and Collins bad not prepared for the crisis, not expecting arrest before Saturday at the earliest, but they secured bond in thn sum of $10,000 after several hours V1 efforts, and were released. ' ' Brown returned later to Elkhart, and hearing he was wanted, notified Marshal Petti t, and late tonight was at his lawyer's office arranging for bond. , . At 11 o4clock effort to get bond for Brown was abandoned till morning, Marshal Pettit allowing Brown to go to his home on his own recognizance, with a promise to be at the train tomorrow, if bond is not furnished. All tnree must appear at Indianapolis next Wednesday. Indianapolis Journal.

the other room and fish and cut bait. " This was the remark made by Pres ident Roosevelt to Senator Hanna at the dinner given to the president and members of the cabinet by Postmaster General Payne at the Arlington hotel. It was just at the close of the dinner. It had been suggested that the men withdraw for coffee and cigars to an adjoining room. The president stood in the door talking to one of the guests and Senator Hanna came up and quietly waited for Mr. Roosevelt to make way. Turning and seeing the Ohioan, the president threw his arm around Senator Hanna's shoulder and made the remark quoted, laughing as he did so. "All right, " replied Senator Hanna, 'I'll fish and cut bait with .i you." And the two passed through the doorway and joined the rest of the smokers.' The manner In which the president and Senator Hanna treated each other was good-natured, and suggested the terms on whlck they were wont to meet just after the death of President McKinley, before there were any 'reports of differences between them. Burlington Road Completes Place (or . Weary Engineers and Firemen. II. D. Fletzler superintendent of terminals for the Burlington, yesterday announced the opening of a new resthouse for engineers and firemen at Western avenue and Nineteenth street. The company owns the ground and building .and will maintain them solely for the benefit of the men who do not live in the city, and who are waiting for their return trips. The resthouse was provided at an ex pense of about $10,000, and is one of several which the company has estab lished at Savanna, Creston and other division headquarters. It is under stood that .it is the purpose of the management to extend the system to include all division headquarters. The new bouse is of brick, 120 by 40 feet, and is fitted in modern style. There is a large reading-room, with many oak tables and chairs, and in which are kept all the leading magazines and dally papers. Off the reading-room is another room containing seventy ventilated lockers, which are placed at the disposal of the men. The feature which the engine crews appreciate most of all is a large modem bathroom fitted with two sh i.ver baths. Off the bathroom is the large dormitory, which Is equipped with thirty-six beds on wnich are box springs and hair mattresses. The latest ventilating device is used, all the foul air being drawn through openings in the roof. The building is heated by hot water and Is light throughout. The company pays all expenses of maintenance, and the men are permitted to make the resthouse their home while in Chicago. Many advantages of providing such a place are recognized by the management, are too obvious to detail. To the engineers and firemen it means comfort which they would not otherwise enjoy and a great saving in the expeuse of living. Confederate Coinage, It is a matter of history, I believe, that the entire coinage of the Confederate States consisted of four half-dollar pieces. Where are they? What are they worth numismatically ? The obverse side had a Goddess of Liberty(same as United States coins) in an arc of thirteen stars, in herright hand a shield oa cenvential design, with "Liberty" thereon, and below the date 1861. On the reverse side was an American shield beneath a Liberty cap, the union containing seven stars representing the seven seceding States the whole surrounded by a wreath; at the left cotton in bloom, at the right sugarcane. The legend' was "Confederate States of America " In the ex ergue, "Half Dol." The borders were milled and the edge was serrated. New York Press. Pedro Party. The members of the Plymouth Bowling Club gave a party to a num ber of their friends in Alberts' hall last evening.

Marshall, ex-sheriff, back pay, prin 1610 00 Same, back pay, int 400 00 Cows in the Winter. A writer in the Tribune Farmer on winter dairying methods says: "I have not the vanity to suppose that my methods of winter dairying are better than the practice of others. 1 give ray experience for what it is worth. In order to make dairying profitable the cows must have comfortable winter quarters. I know from personal experience that cows kept in a cold stable. in cold weather will eat nearly twice as much fodder and grain as the same cows would if kepü in warm stables, and will not give so much milk. When a cow Is suffering with the cold, her back humped up like a camel's, she is not in proper condition of body or frame of mind to secrete much milk, and so she doesn't do it. "Our stables are in the basement of the barn and ' are so warm that the cows are more comfortable In them during cold weather than in the field In summer when tormented by flies. It is not only a pleasure and duty to keep the dependent creatures cheerful and happy, but the kindness pays in shekels of gold. Cows well cared for are profitable boarders, and never jump their board bills. Cows can not make milk without an ample supply of the proper food to make it from. "When corn Is cut and shocked at the right time, and the stalks are well preserved, they make the fodder most in iavor with our cows, and clover hay is their second cuoice. Our corn is cut and shocked as soon as the kernels are glazed aDd while the stalks and leaves are stili green and full of sweetness. The shocks are so well bound that nothing but a hurricane will blow them down. 'The corn is husked as soon as it will do to crib', and the stalks are drawn to the barn as soon as dry enough to keep from moulding. Such stalks run through a cutter make fodder good enough for a king's cows, and the cheapest fodder in the world ensilage not excepted. The only possible advantage ensilage can have over it is the succulence, or moisture, of the ensilage, and this advantage can be parailed by feeding pumpkins, small apples, potatoes and rutabagas once a week. The corn is husked and ground, and the meal mixed with wheat bran or buckwheat bran for the grain feed. "The next best fodder for cows is clover hay, but the clover must be cut when the blossoms are red, and before it falls down and begins to rot, and great pains should be taken to have the hay well made by being dried mostly in the cock, and not burned by the sun until the stems are stiff as pokers. and all the leaves fall off In handling. In winter bur cows are fed on a ration composed of one-half wheat or buckwheat bran and the other half (by weight) of meal made by grinding corn, rye and oats together in equal quantities each cow receiving four quarts of the mixtures twice a day. They are let out once a day and watered." Honest Lad's Liberal Reward. A Laporte school teacher lost her pct.ket book containing $125 in money which was returned to the thoroughly agitated loser by a 12 year old boy. So greatly was she overjoyed over the return of her property that f rom the sum she took 25 cents and tried to get the lad to take it, but he wouldn't, lie probably'. couldn't find the heart to' be as sms.ll aa she.

The second successful attempt to rob the postofflce at Tippecanoe was made Monday night. Haying previously obtained a set of tools at Swihart & Tucker's blacksmith shop, to help in their infamous business, the

robbers broke in the front door of Nolan Bros' store, wherein the niristoffice is located,. aDd proceeded to koock on the knob of the safe, then, putting a charge of powder In the hole thus made, blew the safe open. The stamps contained therein, nor any of toe mercnandise or the store was molested, but $3.70 was taken from the safe. The stolen tools were left in the store when the raid was ended. As far as can be learned, no clew of the thieves has been obtained. Argos Reflector. The Reflector states above that this was the second time the Tippecanoe postofflce was robbed. The first time it was robbed by the YockeyPickerl combination of its rural routes which was several times larger than the $3.70 secured by the cracksmen. President Hadley's MistaXe. President Hadley, of Yale, did not do a good thing by hs country when he said in a speech the other day that a man should not enter the political held unless he is rich, tor "if he doe3 he will have to yield sooner or later to the wrong influence or else get out." A man in his position, with immense influence over young men, might better have dwelt upon the fact that a man may be honest if be will in any position in life, that poverty is honorable and that it may be a man's duty to serve his country even at a financial sacrifice. If President Hadley had urged upon young men the importance of taking part in politics in ward politics, even, at all times and before all elections in order that they might Insure cleaner politics, he would have done a wiser and more righteous thing. It is such utterances as his that encourage the withdrawal of a class of citizens Improperly called the better class from active participation in public affairs, making of them faultfinders and obstructionists, when they might be an element for political betterment. The president of Yale should think again on this subject and to better purpose. Indianapolis Journal. Foreign Decorations. John Hay, secretary of state, is m possession of a miscellaneous assortment of medals, swords, badges and other decorations which the various governments ot Europe desire to present to federal officers of the United States. Under the constitution no federal officeholder is permitted to accept a decoration or present from a foreign government save by the passage of a special act of congress granting such authority. Whenever a foreign potentate desires to honor an American official by bestowing upon him a decoration of some kind, he tenders the same to the secretary of state with a request that it be delivered to the favored person. The secretary keeps charge of the sword, snuff box. ribbon or other trinket until congress passes an act authorizing the official to receive the token. There are at present about forty applicants for permission to accept presents from foreign rulers. Some of these officials have bad their appeals refused by congress, and are now up for the second time. Drunken English Women. To an American it seems almost incredible that in England the proportion of female to male drunkards is as three to one. A London policeman recently counted 118 men, 25 boys and 719 women going into a saloon or "public house," in nine hours. An Englishman visiting in this country always comments with surprise on the faeü that be sees no women in saloons. The sight of a drunken woman is rare In America, while in England three women are arrested for drunkenness for every man. This one thing more than any other shows the superiority of America's working class over that of any other country, and the superiority of American women over any other women in the world. Different Construction. Barend Vet of The Hague had re cently the misfortune to call a constable a monkey, an accusation which a local paper pointed out as being, of course, untrue, "and which, moreover, is a form of untruth not permitted in Holland. Vet was arrested and brought before the Judge on a charge of "insulting the police" being sen tenced to forty-five days' imprisons menu, Berore oeing removed ne turned to address the court. "Then I musn't call a constable a monkey?" he said. "Certainly not; you must not Insult the police." The culprit reflected. "May I call a monkey a constable?" he asked with a flash of genius. The judge shrugged his shoulders and, holding no brief for the animal, replied. "If it gives you any satisfaction." With a smile of grati fication Vet turned on his heel in the dock and bowed to his prosecutor, 'Good day, constable," he said. Pretty Miss Nellie.

Baby Killed in It's Mother's Arms. A very peculiar and distressing accident happened near North Manchester one night last week resulting in the death of the two months old baby of John Buckingham and wife. The Journal says: Mr. Buckingham, with bis wife and baby bad taken a sleigh ride and drove to the home of Esli Frantz where tbey spent the evening. On their way home between 10 and 11 o'clock tlieir horse became unruly and tried to run away. Mr. Buckingham in getting the animal under control jerked the lines quite severely. -When the couple reached home they found the baby, which had been laying on its mother's arm between the parents, was unconscious and bleeding at the nose. Investigation proved that it was dead. Physicians were summoned with all haste but nothing could be done, life having been extinct for some time. It is supposed that in his violent jerking of the reins to subdue the horse Mr. Buckingham's elbow struck the child in the face, the blow having been sufficient to cause its death. The child made no out cry and the parents were not aware of the tragedy until the wrappings were taken from the baby on their arrival home. An Artist's Mistake. Two years ago there was exhibited in London a beautiful picture of an eighteenth century ißterior, perfect in every detail but one, for on a wall of the interiovwas a small picture of a very up-to-date locomotive, and in tbc same year the writer saw amonj the academy pictures apresentiment of a cavilier.'eviden'tly waiting Impatiently for his lady to keep the tryst, consulting a watch which would have done credit to a twentieth century watchmaker; while on another canvas a Peninsular veteran, who was fighting his battle over again for the benefit of admiring rustics at the village inn, was fearing an unmistakable" Victoria cross about forty years before this badge of valor came into existence. Even Turner made some ludicrous mistakes; as when he made a rainbow rub shoulders with the sun. In his magnificent picture In the Royal exchange of sacred Londoners escaping in boats from the horrors of the great fire of Stanhope Forbes has introduced vessels of a type which, it is said, the Thames has never known; and another artist of repute armed the children of Israel with guns presumably for selfprotection, while they are engaged in gathering manna. In a recent salon picture Louis XVI is equipped with a revolver modern enough to have served in the Boer war.
