Being particularly anxious to get the Chicago paper on account of the death of Senator Hanna we enquired of the clerks for tbe missing paper and were informed that all tbe mail had been distributed and perhaps tbe paper did not reach here. Shortly after we found the missing paper at tbe Democrat office with their . mail. About noon of. the same day we met Postmaster Yockey and called Iiis atten- i tion. He politely (?) informed us that be would see the clerk' who distributed tbe mail and see to it that this should not occur again. If he spoke to tbe clerk at all it looks very much like be approved of bis actions for tbe very next mail from Indianapolis the Star and Journal were both put in the Plymouth Novelty box and carried up to that factory by Hon. II. G. Thayer who did not notice the address. Scarcely a day passes without mail addressed to Geo. n. Krhyer being put inGeorgeThayer's mail and vice versa. About a year ago tbe attention of the postoffice department was called to the irregularities of the Plymouth office; an inspector was sent to this place to investigate and , for a time things were somewhat improved, but at the present time are just as bad as ever. The office is provided with abundant clerk hire and there is but one reason carelessness, and we hope the department will correct this evil in tbe Plymouth office. The question is, will Congressman A. L. Brick who will be nominated for the third time by acclamation at Knox on March 15th and will practically be elected by acclamation next November, re-appoint anjlncompetent official to tbe highest appointive office Jn Marshall county. Six hundred Russian soldiers were frozen to death while marching twenty-two miles across the ice covering Lake Baikal, the temporary railroad not having been completed. Senator Patterson, of Colorado, has clung to hope for a long time, but 'even he has given up now and acknowledged that free silver is dead. Only Bryan continues to administer oxygen and inject salt solution every half hour. Gov. Durbin states that no special session of the Indiana legislature will be calied to enact a new apportionment law. ir the supreme court sustains the opinions of Judge Artman end Judge Downing upon the apportionment of 1903, v?hich they declared to b3 uDcccctltuticcal, ccnatcriil end .legislative nominations will t2 - V V r - 4 i O r 1 W liUMwi t4W AM r 4 V A ii:7.

During the Japanese attack on Port

Arthur on Feb. 9 the officials ot the RussoCbinese bank burned all its paper money In the street .and bad the specie carried away. Troops were sent away, but these are being hurried back. Tbe Ohio legislature being in ses sion, that body will elect a successor to Senator Hanna at an early day , both for the long and short term. Mr. Ilanna had over a year to serve on bis first regular term, and a full six-year term from tbe 4th of March, 1905. In discussing the situation in the countries affected by the war between Japan and Russia, one of tbe most influential republican senators said in speaking of tbe situation, hat with an unsafe man at tbe bead ,of tbe department at this time mistakes of farreaching importance might be made. But. with John Hay at the helm we all feel comfortable," said he. 'We know he will' not lose his bead, and we know furthermore that this government's policy in the far East will be his and not one suggested by some one else." The hope is being very generally expressed that Secretary Hay's health will .enable him to see the' present situation to tbe end. ' In tbe absence of the editor Monday an article under the caption ol Tilden-Llncolh clipped from the South Bend Times, was given in the Tribune without credit. It has always been one of John B. Stoll's hobbies that Til Jen was cheated out of the presidency; but every student of history knows that Hayes was elected on tbe face of tbe returns and that a i electoral commission which was chosen by democrats declared that he was entitled to the place. This commission was opposed by Oliver P. Morton and most of the republican leaders, and it received the support of every democratic senator except Eaton of Condecticut. No man ever had a clearer title to the presidency than Rutherford B. Haves. ' The death of Senator Ilanna removes from earth one of America's greatest men. Mr. nanna was a wonderful character. Ten years ago he was almost unknown outside of northern Ohio; today tbe entire world hears with sadness the news of his death. He was naturally constituted to overcome t obstacles and organize success in what ever he undertook. He was great as a statesman and business man, but be lives in the hearts of tbe thousands of men he employed because his object was not to pile up wealth for himself, but to utilize money for the benefit of man. He never bad a strike among his employes, he was always helpful to tbe mechan ic, tbe artisan and the common laborer and when he died he was one of the most popular and trusted friends of laboring men in the United states, while be retained tbe confidence and esteem of the wealthy and in fact of all other classes of Americans. A DEMOCRATS OPINION. The South Bend Times, always democratic, has an editorial on the death of Marcus A. Hanna, which is a truth ful eulogy on the character of tbe great man who died at Washington Monday evening. The Times devotes over a column to a portrayal of the character and achievements of Senator nanna. Among other things Editor Stoll says: All in all, Marcus A. Hanna was a great man. As a sagacious manager of political forces he had but few equals in all the history of the Republic' As a senator be grew steadily in popular esteem and public confidence. As a man of affairs he stood pre-eminent. As a counsellor his worth and value were beyond com putation. . ... Great as have been his achievements the greatest of all was that of living down prejudice and enmity of re vealing himself in a character entire ly different Jfrom that painted by those who passed judgment upon blm before they had learned to know who and what he really was. This achievement was wrought, not by any special effort on his part, but as a result of simply pursuing the even tenor of his way and permitting time to do its work.

THE EASTERN WAR. What the outcome of the war between Russia and' Japan will be do one can tell--- The great nations of the world are interested in the struggle because the war has in it the possibilities of involving all other nations including tbe United States. Rcssia, no doubt, desires t3 secure control of Asia and her recent movements in Manchuria are but tbe beginning of her efforts in that direction. If Russia should succeed there would be little consideration shown tbe people of other lands who have business enterprises in China and other Asiatic countries. Once in possession of China with Japan conquered Russia would aim to dispossess England of her vast posessions in India. It is to the interst of the world that the advance of Russia should be

checked, and for that reason there seems to be a general wish for the sue cess of Japan. But an easy victory for Japan might have almost as serious an effect as yic tory for Russia. China has not yet been molded by tbe spirit of western civilization, and there is a racial affin tv between tbe Chinese and Japanese that would naturally induce the weak er;: though larger nation, to place it self under the training of its able and aggressive neighbor and thus create an.emplro that might be as exclusive n its attitude toward western nations as Russia would be: It will be a, .difficult problem for the great nations of tbe world to pro tect their interests in China unless Russia and Japan are so weakened by the war that the victor will be willing to concede rights and priveleges de manded by European nations and the United States in the interest of com merce, business and religious toler ance. It is a cause for satisfaction that at this time we have at the head of the department of . our government wbice deals with foreign nations a statesman and diplomat of tbe ability which John Hay has shown that he possesses. Senator Henna's successor will be oaraed by the Ohio legislature, and eleven men are mentioned already as possible candidates. It Is believed that there will be a bard fight for the place. Mr. Bryan offers $100 for a demo cratic platform, a.id the following is accordingly submitted: we were wrong in 1892, 1896 and 1900, but Know we are rtgnt now, because we know we were wrong before. We therefore ask the American people for a vote of confidence and control of the government. N. B: We point with pride to our future." Globe Demo erat. Japan has still to win against a ter rible and determined foe. These first advantages are great, but Russia has scarcely begun to fight. Ker grim determination will keep her striking blow on blow as long as a single chance remains. As for Japan, she is fight ing for her national life and will sacrl fice her last drop of blood before she gives up the struggle. These facts may be counted on to produce one of tbe bitterest conflicts of history. A dispatch from Hays City, Kas., says that hundredsof Russians in that district are apylying for naturalization papers in order that they may not be compelled to go back to Russia . and fight for their native land. At the same time we are bearing from various parts of tbe country that Japanese are hurrying homeward without beingsen for in order to join tbe forces that are fighting the Russians. "Although they may not forecast the . result , of vthe storm, straws show which way the wind blows, and tbe spirit that anl mates the per.ple ot the two nations was probably never better illustrated. Sayre Begins His Canvass Warren G. Sayre, of Wabash began j his canyass for the nomination of gov ernor last Thursday. Mr. Sayre will visit Indianapolis to meet a number of bis old political friends and thence will journey to Evansville to put in a day at the Lincoln League convention. Later he will make a tour of northern Indiana, putting his fences in shape, and the latter days of his canvass will be spent in central and souther.i Indiana. He is hopeful of winning the nomination. . Ccrrc:::cr.il Ccr.vcr.ticn.

, Declaration of War. r Declarations of war are excep;ional

m modern times, says the. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. - The war between France and Engand in 1778 was opened by tbe recall of the English minister from Paris, which was taken to signify a breach of the peace between the two nations, and the French King acted accord ingy. This is an exact parallel to what has occurred between Russia and Japan. War between France and Eagland broku out in 1793 and in 1803 both without declarations. In June, 1756. England declared war against France, but they had been fighting for a year. There was no declaration of war in 1859 when Austria and Sardinia came to blows, nor In 1864 when Prussia and Austria struck Denmark. It will be observed that custom does not make a declaaation obligatory, and Japan acted with scrupulous pro priety. But though a declaration is not re quired, it is essential that some for mal public notice should announce to the people at home that their govern merit is at war, and a similar notice must be sent to neutral nations, so that all may be informed of the new legal relations created by the war. This done, there is no further duty In the way of former announcement. The Leap-Year Dance. The leap-year dance given by the ladies of our city in the opera house Tuesday evening was a grand success. About seventy couples enjoyed the oc cäsion and all report a very pleasant time. Tbe grand march was led by James Thayer and Maude Houghton. Tbe music fnrnished by the Fisher's orchestra of South Bend was excellent About midnight the dancers par took of a delicious repast served by W. W. Hill & Son in Hillscafe. After supper tbe merry throng returned to tbe opera house and the dance contin ued for several hours. Among the guests from out of the city were Messrs. Tebay of Bourbon, Daniels of Columbia City, Parish for merly of this city, Dillon of Annap olis, McFarlin of Camden, Ind., and Mr. and Mrs. Sacob Speyer of Lexing ton Kentucky. An Unjust Requirement. A few days ago a fifteen-year-old girl was compelled in a Marion county court to repeat conversations she had unfortunately overheard, so vulgar and nauseating as to make many an older person blush for.shame. The court room was crowded with men, as is usual in such cases, and they brutally laughed at the girl's dis com ß tu re. : Perhaps this may be satisfying the demands of tbe exacting law, but it is certainly not elevating true and pure womanhood. Indianapolis Star. Surprise Party. Tuesday being the 67ih anniver sary of the birth of Mrs. Anna Has langer of South Plymouth a number of her lady friends of the German church called on her to help her ecle brate the occasion. The afternoon was passed in sociable conversation about evening t-upper was seryed. The guests presented Mrs. naslanger with many beautiful and useful articles, and her many friends unite in extending congratulations to one of the oldesü residents of this city; Box Social. The members of the Clover Leaf club and their friends enjoyed Tuesday evening at a box social given for tbe benefit of tbe club in their rooms over the Tribune office. Lunch boxes were above par some sold as high as $1.25 When all were sold and the contents disposed of a large, delicious cake was was raffled off. Elmer Chaney held the lucky number that drew the cake Tbe remainder of tbe evening was spent in dancing and the guests de parted at a late hour. ' x DECIDE YOURSELF The Opportunity Is Here.

Hill, of the tirra of W. W. Hill & Son, groceries and bakery, residence Michigan street says: '-Some time ago I arose one morning with a pain in my back just across my loins. I bad been engaged at some hard work the day before and I attributed tbe aching to that. I thought it would go away of its own accord but it did not. As time passed it 0' .creased- in place of lessened until it a iually became a positive annoyanceVl Reading an advertisement one evening about Doan's Kidney Fills induced me to go to J. W.

r Great Freighters for the Orient. ". The launching of the steamship

Dakota, the second steel monster for James J. Hill's Great Northern Line from Seattle, Wash., to the Orient, which took place at New London, Conn., tbe other day, is an Incident hat reflects the great expectations of Americans regarding the development of our trade with the oriental coun tries. Public interest in the possibilities of this development is intensified by the hostilities that have now begun and. that may involve China and other powers. The building of the Dakota and her sistersbip Minnesota has been referred to as "Hill's folly" and "Hill's orien tal dream." The possibility of find ing profitable cargoes for these mon ster freighters has been ridiculed, and many have marveled at tbe reckless daring of Mr. Hill in entering upon a sea-carrying enterprise of such mag nitude in the Pacihc without the aid of a government subsidy or bounty. But Mr. Hill has been a good proph W rrr fv

In the light ot Mr. Hill's great venture it is interesting to note the fact that, notwithstanding the remarkable growth of our exports to China and Japan, the balance of trade with those countries is heavily against us. Our exports to Japan during the year ending June 30, 1903, were valued at $20,924,852, while our imports from the island kingdom for the same period amounted to $44,142,562. Our exports to the Chinese Empire during the same period were $18,603,369 and imports $26.769,612. With Turkey in Asia. Persia, India, Egypt and other oriental countries the balance ot trade is even more heavily against us. m xi rm tttt tt
