Plymouth, Ind., March 3. 1904The democratic party has begun to find or.t that the cross it has to bear is not a cress of gold, but, a cross of free silver. And, it a very heavy one! Senator Gorman seems to have a remarkable faculty for getting on the wrong side and the losing side of every public question. He is, therefore, the logical democratic candidate for president. Rev. Alfred H. Henry, for some time pastor of a Methodist church In Salt Lake City. "It seems to me as lawless a piece of business to turn a man out of the Senate for believisg in Mormonlsm as for belieying in Meth odism. I am very well acquainted with Reed Smoot. He is a splendid fellow, and in his religious belief as conscientious as any of us. His wife is an accomplished woman and their life together is happy. Three South Bend men are being boomed for the democratic nomination for governor. They are John B. Stoll, Charles P. Drummondand Mayor Fogarty. It is not known that any one these men would tafce the nomination if it is offered, but Fogarty is believed to be a receptive candidate. It is also stated that Hon. B. F. Sbively can have the democratic nomination lor president if he wants It. But "Our Frank" says he has not enough "filthy lucre" to make a race for pres ident on the democratic ticket. The marked difference between the tactics of Senator Gorman and of John SJarp Williams, democratic leader of the nouse, shows how little fitted the former is for the leadership he assumes. He has failed miserably in two efforts to manufacture a campaign issue, and in both he showed an almost incredible lack of judgment. Contrast his bungling with the smooth metnods of Mr. Williams. He is sagacious enough to keep the tariff reform issue to the front, and. according to a Washington correspondent, when his opponents want to talk about free silver or imperialism be slides out of it by telling funny stories. Gt.rman should take a few lessons from the representative. Indianapolis Journal. Every effort will be made by the Republican leaders in Congress to bring about an adjournment by May 1. That is the programme mapped out, and all indications point to its being carried through. The leaders are devoting all time possible to getting through the appropriation bills, but some weeks will -be required to get these measures out of this way. There Is very little of importance pressing for consideration, except the necessary legislation relating to the Panama canal. It will require some days to perfect the measures intended to provide a system of government for the canal zone. . This is a new field for the legislators In Congress. We have all kinds of outlying territory now: Hawaii, with -a practical form of territorial government, a Governor and a delegate wi jh full powers in Congress; Porto Rico, with a territorial form of government of another kind, and instead of a delegate in Congress, a resident commissioner; Alaska, with little in the way of territorial government and no representation at all in Congress. Then there is the question of citizenship of the residents of all these outlying posessi o as. And the Phiillppines, with nothing settled as to citizenship, and a commission form of government, with no territorial organization nor representation in Congress. Truly it is a peculiar mix-up, and one very puzzling to the American legislators, to say nothing of the people generally. 2?bw comes a proposition for a government under American authority In a zone of territory in a sovereign country foreign to the United States. This goyernment will exercise sovereignity over the strip of canal terri tory, but tb.3 kind Of government to fce provided for it will te materially Clearest frcm cay other vrs have known.
Walter Wellman, the well known Washington correspondent, believes that the nomination of Senator Fairbanks for yice president is a certainty and that it will be very satisfactory to the republicans in all sections and also to President Roosevelt.
Practically as a result of the success of the Japanese naval actions in their present war, our new battleships and cruisers are to be fitted with submerged torpedoes. Think of that will you! The teacher taughtl The United States learning from Japan the best methods of naval warfare! The personnel of the isthmian canal commission conveys the gratifying assurance that the President in mak ing the appointments was not actuated by political considerations of any sort. There is no Indication, In fact, that he chose the men for other reason than for recognized professional fitness. The work of the politician in the canal legislation and negotations is ended. It is now a problem for the engineers. A quiet boom for John B. Stoll, of South Bend, for the democraitc guber natorial nomination is well under way and Stoll talk is going the rounds of the state. The first mention that the South Bend editor might be a factor in the democratic gubernatorial race was made in the -Indianapolis Journal some weeks ago, but now the matter is being taken up by the democratic press. The New Albany Ledger is the latest democrstic organ to espouse the Stoll candidacy. In a lenghty editorial urging Mr. Stoll as the ideal candidate the Ledger says he would be especially popular in southern Indiana. Center Township Convention. The republicans of Center township will meet in mass convention in the Plymouth band room, Saturday at 2:30 o'clock, p. m. March 5, 1904, for the purpose of selecting delegates to the Congressional, State and Senator ial Conventions. H. II. Boxiiam, Tp. Chairman. Self-Conceit One of the old philosophers tells us that the first business of one who studies philosophy is "to part with self-conceit." For he says, "It is impossible for anv one to begin to learn what he thinks that he already knows." Surely the advice may be safely and profitably followed even by those who are not students of philosophy. Self-conceit is Indeed a dan gerous quality. Nothing can be so distracting a the constant thought of self. The man thus afflcted can not think simply of his task, for he must give his chief attention to his relation lo it, or to the probable effect of its performance upon him and his own fortunes. The question with such a man is not whether lie shill do a certain tbiogr, but whether, if he does it, the world shall see him do it, and praise him or pay him for doing it. Such a person really seems to have a double personality made up of- the worshiping subject and the worshiped object. And the worshiped object makes up practically the whole of the external world of the worshiper of tat object. Knew the Way Home. Clarence Reed of Argos, was in this city with his father's horse and buggy Tuesday and as he was getting cut of the buggy the horse became frightened and started at a breakneck speed south on Michigan street, evidently with the intentions of returning home. He succeeded in getting as far a3 the Kuhn slaughter house where he was brought to a stop and returned to this city by Solomon Lechlightncr. Justice Mclttr'i Court The following cases were tried In Justice Wolter 's court Tuesday. Henry Mattern vs Chester R. Dunnick. change of venue from Justice Piake's court of Lapaz. John F. Caldwell was awarded judgement against Jeff Samuels, Albert Samuels and Ed. Parish having brought suit against them on account. Celebrates 13th Birthday. J ohu O. Strombeck the popular clerk of Kloepfer's N. Y. Store, celebrated his 13th birthday" Monday. A genuine dutch lunch was served, after tne store closed, of which all the clerks partook. This is the first birthday Mr. Strombeck has had 'for eight years. Although he Is 56 years of age, this was only his 13th birthday being born on the 29th day of February. A Question cf Pood, The most nutricious yet cheapest food on the market i3 Pillsbury's Vitos. A two pound package costing 15 cents will make twelve pounds of cooked food and is delicious, served with sugar and cream. It is made from the germ of the wheat and is pure and wholesome, entirely free from adulteration. Grocers handle it. 18t8
Are You an Anthropologist? Are you an anthropologist? If not, why not? If you are, you know why the Japs are likely to put Russia's shoulders on the mat. . They are going to do this because they have in their veins the mixed bloods of all the primitive races. Did you ever study a mongrel dog? Men who train dogs for tricks on th3 stage do not select dogs with royal ancestry when they want a general performer. They may train a greyhound to leap because the instinct of this strain of dogs for generations has been along leaping lines. They do not attempt to overcome heredity. When they want a dog with allaround intelligence and capable of grasping anything that may be con veyed to him, they take a common lice. A fice is the counterpart of the Japanere. He is the best there Is in all the strains mingled in bis blood . The complexity of his origin is his strength. The man who talks learnedly about this subject of Japanese supremacy in the East is Prof. W. J. McGee. W. J. has charge of the anthropological exhibit at the world's fair. "TPhA mnw ctrnln rf hinnri a natinn
has," he says, "the greater and more powerful It becomes. Anthropologists measure the relative prominence and relatlye positions to the other peoples of the earth by the comingling of blood in their veins, and in the In stance of the Japanese we find that they are the most complex nation of the Orient, just as the Anglo-Saxons, through the moyes of successive pop ulations that swept over the continents, were made the most complex nation of the Occident." Indianap olis Star. Let No Guilty Man Escape. The conviction of August W. Ma Chen, who was former chief of the rural free delivery division of the postoffice department; George E. ' Lorenz, once postmaster of Toledo. O., Dille r B. Groff jand Samuel A. Groff, who were manufacturers of a patent letter box fastener, in a trial before the United States court, shows that the administration is surely tightening and fastening the toils about govern ment grafters. These men were members of a gang of conspirators using official positions as a cloak to rob the postofflce department. They had been engaged in the criminal work through several admin istrations and it remained for Roose velt upon hearing of suspicious actions to probe the matter to the bottom and bring the conspirators to justice. It certainly is a great victory for the present administration, and as others are implicated, they will be forced to face the courts and stand trial. Cannon and the Senator. Speaker Cannon never fails to show a good-natured contempt for the Sen ate, though he confines his flippant al lusions to informal conversation, and does not, as Mr. Reed was wont to do, carry ridicule of the "the highest leg islative body on earth" into his formal utterances. The other day he met Mr. Frye on Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, and rallied the acting presideut of the "upper house", upon the decision of that body to put in another clock. "Hello, Frye. Hear you're going to have two clocks in your chamber. What's In the wind?" . "Why, you see, our present clock is at the rear of the chamber, facing me, and senators are tired of turning around to consult it. Besides, Can non, we don't want you to be able to say that the Senate is always looking backward." "Thank God for that! I was afraid that if you got in two clocks you'd have too much time on your hands, and God knows what that means to the country." 7ew York Mail. Compromise Efforts Fail. In noting the transfer of the Beiger will case to Laporte, the Mishawaka correspondent of the South Bend Tribunesays: "It has been learned from a number of the beneficiaries named in the will that Mrs. Belger offered $200.000 to be divided according to the per cent plan named In the will. The offer was rejected by the heirs which includes the Chautauqua and De Pan w university. It is understood from tne heirs that a compromise was offered but the widow and her attor neys thought the terms too exorbit ant and would not consider the mat ter. Consequently from the present outlook the case will go through the courts Mrs. Beiger believing that she has a good case, " France Has a Good Reason. "Why is It," asks a contemporary, "that France bis such a deep sympa thy for Russia, when Germany also is lined up on that side?" Because France holds Russian paper for $1,750,000,000, and this is distributed among all classes of the country. She would like to be against Germany, but cannot afford it.

BOWELL ACQUITTED
No Evidence to Convict Him, and No Clue to the Murderer. The trial tf William Bowell of this city before Judge Feldman at South Bend on Monday resulted in his ac quittal. It had been eyldtnt for a week that the police had no case against him, and there seems to be no clue to the murderer. The police department and the de tectives seem to be eutirely at sea and it looks now like the murderer may never be known. But as the darkest hour is just before day evidence o crime sometimes develops as suddenly as the rays of the rising sun. Independent Telephones United. Independent teljphone men in nor them Indiana and southern Michigan met at South Bend Saturday, and or ganized the Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan Toll Line Associa tion.

The Path To Peace. It is said Great Britain, France, Austria and other powers ot the old world have entered into a coalition to try and settle the differences between Japan and Russia and put an end to further bloodshed in the struggle for the possession of the small strip of territory in which these nations are now engaged. While negotiations for peace are thus going on the countries engaged therein continue active preparations to defend their rights by force of arms in case their pacifying efforts should not succeed and they should be drawn into the real conflict. This only goes to prove that the path of peace invar iably is full of war horrors. The old adage, "In time of peace prepare for war," holds good in all parts of the world and in all ages. South Bend Tribune. Petit and Grand Juries Drawn. The grand jury of the March term of the Marshall Co. circuit court is composed of Chas. C. Vink of liour bon towns'tip, William Ranck and Benjamin Harmon of Tippecanoe township, Asher Kanaar of North township, John C. Richardson of Polk township and Wijliam Wilburn of West township.

"As to the current talk of the liry-an-IIearst combine,'' says the Mil waukee Sentinel, "Mr. Bryan will be pleased to note that his name is at the front end of the hyphen." That is not much consolation; it may be noticed that in the Russo-Japanese war the name of Russia Is at the front end of the hyphen, too. The front end is a ticklish place when the collision comes. Indianapolis Journal. ARE YOU SATISFIED? If Not, What Better Proof Can Plymouth Residents Ask For? This is the statement of a Plymouth citizen. The testimony of a neighbor. You can readily investigate it. The proof should convince you. James E. Cox, painter of Center St. says: "For over five years too frequent action of the kidney secretions gave me no end of annoyance. This was particularly observable at night and resisted the effeefs of all medicines r used. One day while feeliDg dull and miserable and hardly able to get around I happened to read an advertisement about 'Doan's Kidney Pills and 1 reasoned that if this remedy performs fcalf what' it promised it may at least help and I went to J. W. Rinard's drugstore for a box. It relieved, I bought a second and if the results obtained from the use of the two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills bad not been positively beneficial I would be the last resident of Plymouth to publicly endorse the preparation."

Interment at Fair cemetery. Rev. Martin Luther officiated. Struck By Lightning. Frank Berst, while sitting near the stove at his home In Monoquet, Kosciusko county, was struck by lightning during the storm early Monday mor ning. The bolt struck the house and ran down the chimnev. Mr. Berst was thrown from his chair and was in a dazed and helpless condition when Ed. Kimes, who was in the room at the time, went to his assistance. The lightning stroke affected the lower portion of his limbs and an examination by Dr. L. A. Hines the same day revealed a burn half an inch in width running from both feet almost to the hips. It is probable that Mr. Berst escaped instant death only from the fact that he was wearing a pair of felt hoc ts with rubber overshoes. Warsaw Times. Relations Will be Closer. At the meeting of the Independent telephone managers and owners at South Bend routes were mapped out over which toll messages should be sent to connect with certain points, uniform rates were determined and slight difference between exchanges was satisfactorily adjusted.
