The vote of the miners demonstrates that the people can still be trusted. The democratic state committee of Nebraska has sustained Mr. Bryan by a Tote of sixteen to fourteen. About as close to sixteen to one as he will get. - Congress will probably adjourn within a month. This will be much earlier than usual, but there is no business that calls for a prolonged session. In yiew of the Supreme Courts decision in the merger case, and the manner in which the court divided, it is hardly probable that the democratic platform of 1904 will have much to say on the trust question. By the time the House has finished the postofflce appropriation bill this year it will probably know more about postoffices and the mail service generally than it ever did before, which Is another good thing that has come out of the trouble Disappointed in making the canal question an issue and having discarded free silver, the decision of the merger case was a crushing blow to the democrats as it removed another question from which they expected to make capital. They now have only one issue left: Should Booker T. Washington be allowed to eat in a house where a white man eats? Elihu Boot has spoken, and he bas slid it well. He says. "The real question is whether this country shall go forward on the national and useful lines laid down by William McKinley and Theodore Boosevelt or back up under the lead of the democrats, who have never suggested anything better than to sidetrack in one way or another our normal and peaceful national capacities. Judge Crumpatker, of Valparaiso, delivered a speech sometime ago in which he urged fair play for the negro. Hobson of Merrimack fame was one of the speakers who spoke from the same platform tbat day and now that Hobson is a candidate for congress in the sixth Alabama district he will probably be beaten because he appeared on the same platform with the "bad man from Indiana." The comforting assurance is given oat that while the Hearst barrel is cow on tap for Indiana and may be expected to cut an Important figure in the fight for control of the delegation to the' national convention, the Taggart forces are not without their sinews of war. Little difficulty is being experienced, it is said, in raising a campaign fund with which to meet on hl own grounds the cheek and checkbook candidate. The failure of Sully, the "cotton king," which occurred last Friday, will not cause any gnef in cotton manufacturing circles. A few months ago Sully was almost unheard of in speculating circles. With unusual daring and skill he organized and engineered a cotton speculation which enabled him to control the market and dictate prices to the distress and loss of manufacturers everywhere, and throwing many persons out of employment. Now that he has come to grief fcs will have few mourners. Nine members of the St. Louis police department have been indicted for intimidating and assisting in Intimidating voters at the democratic primaries in tbat city on the 12th Inst. These miss-named peace officers were members of the St. Loul3 democratic machine and acted under the direction of that organization. Political machines care nothing for the rights of the .people and they generally rind come vray to prevent the people from cxprecsinj their will. Ths fault, after til, Uc3 with the people, who can cznzh Lay political michics it thsy C zizTztLzi 'est to r-ü:! to C: C;t ecu claret tzzzzz.
Sully wants to settle with bis creditors at 40 cents on the dollar. But that wasn't the way people bad to settle with him when beheld the long end of the cotton market.
President Roosevelt, in a letter of general Instruction to the canal ommissioners, directs that the work be pushed forward as rapidly as possible and with all the economy consistent with thoroughness. The Japanese squadron, of about twenty ships, made a double attack on Port Arthur Monday night, finally retiring without any material damage being done on either side. The Japanese army is reported to be strongly intrenched at Anju and across the entire Korean peninsula. Six weeks after the declaration of war between France and Germany, in 870, Sedan had been won by Germany and the emperor Napoleon was a prisoner. Six weeks after the beginning of the Russo-Japanese war events are as far from a climax as at first. This war is evidently going to be a long one. W. n. Blodgett, in the Indianapolis News, says: "They are trying to get Mayor Fogarty, of South Bend, to be a candidate for Congress in the Thirteenth district . against Congressman Brick,- Mr. Fogarty wants none of that. He is a receptive' candidate for the democratic nomination for governor, and a real candidate for reelection as mavor of South Bend."' Hun. William Dudley Foulke stated In plain language and in sensible form the criticism which is best adapted to those congressman who took exceptions to Mr. Bristow's report. He says plainly and truthfully that while these men may be innocent of any wrong-doing or wrong motive, the fact still sticks out beyond any question that congressmen are not elected to ask such favors of the various departments. , The city of Cleveland is about to establish in connection with the municipal infirmary, a public sanitarium, for the cure of the liquor and drug habits. Most of the men and women sent to the infirmary trace their downfall to liquor or drugs, and so, besides being a philanthropical measure, the "jag-cure" has its economical side, as it is Intended to save the city the expense of keeping the inebriates a goodly portion of the year. . An organization of employers with headquarters at New York and offices in Chicago and other western cities is planning to shut out union laborers from employment at tbe St. Louis exposition. ' The employers' union is now almost as gigantic as that of tbe laboring men and they should compromise their differences if possible. An equal chance to work should be given union and non-union laborers. The labor question will never be settled until this is done. Sully has gone the way of tbe average speculator. It is an easy matter to buy and sell on margin, but when you have to buy and hold the real goods and then dispose of that part at the inflated prices it is an altogether different affair. In old -times Fisk and Gould ran up the , price of gold, but when the Treasury of the United States commenced to give them real, yellow metal, in the shape of eagles and double eagles, they couldn't stand the pressure, and, more than tbat, the Gould fortune almost went glim mering at that time. KinXaXeei Raging River. The sluggish Kankakee, as If to show its contempt for the puny efforts f man to keep it within due bounds and deprive It of its annual excursion over the lowlands along its course, has transformed itself Into a raging tor rent and, bursting Its banks every where, is running now over thousands of acres of valuable corn ground sup posed, to be amply protected from such an aqueous inqasion by the numerons reclamation ditches that have been constructed during recent years. Not in decades has such a flood been seen in tula region. Roads and fences are submerged, newly built houses and barns stand surrounded by a waste of rising water, traction engines and agricultural machinery maybe seen at every farmstead three or four feet deep ;in the flood. Railroad passengers traveling through Laporte county in the past three weeks have witnessed scenes of desolation. and, In some places, destruction that raise some' speculation 3 to whether the ground can be dried and the dame repaired in time to put out crop fcr thi3 caa-

Work is Cut Out For Jipan. - If the report be true that Russia
has 230,000 soldiers between Harbin and Port Arthur, then Japan has a hard task ahead. . It is certain that Russia Is pushing troops over its sin gle track railway just as fast as the facilities of that road will permit. It is also certair that the czar will strain the resources of his empire to put up a hard fight against the Japanese. nis prestige not only in Europe, but In Asia, depends on the front which he makes to the Japanese advance into Manchuria, The land fighting will be done in Manchuria, and tbe caution- of the Japanese in making movements in that territory shows that they are clearly impressed with the difficulties of the situation. These are not likely to diminish In the lapse of time. More Russian troops will be on the firing line next June than are there now, while Japan's chances for making gains in its fighting strength at the front will probably be at their highest point before that time. This is the reason why Japan has not pushed into the enemy's country as rapidly on land as it did on the water. The task of transporting 200,000 troops by water Is a gigantic job, and if Japan has this many troops in tbe northerly half of Korea now, as rumor says, she has matie progress beyond that ever attained by any other power in any war in tbe same length of time. This task would put the shipping facilities of even England to their utmost limit. Some of tbe German military authorities who pretended to be conversant with the Russian situation from observation on the ground, estimated that tbe czar bad 200,000 troops in Manchuria at the beginning of 1904. Thus Japan was confronted with a large task on the start. It is probably true that, man for man, the Japanese are superior to the Russians as campaigners and fighters. But they are confronted with superior numbers. They have the advantage of having their choice of several points of attack, while Russia is compelled to guard all those points and others, After a Pension. Representative Cowherd, of Missouri, bas a constituent, an aged woman, who has been trying tü get a pension because her father had been a soldier, she was not sure in just what war. At first she was inclined to believe he had fought in the Mexican war; then she dropped nack to the Seminole war, and finally decided it was in the war of 1812 he had served. On a muster roll of the latter war she found a name that corresponded with that of her father, but did not furnish Mr. Cowherd any positive means of identification. Mr. Cowherd notified his constituent that it would be necessary to identify her father before a pension could be granted, and in response the, soldier's daughter wrote: 'My father was of medium height, had black hair and eyes. He could not close one eye without closing the otber, and didn't know anything about music I think tbat ought to be sufficient Identification for a pension." Washington Post. A Strange Suicide. With a smile on his lips and the re mark to his mother tba he would hurry up and do tbe chores before his father came home from town, Andrew Anderson, 15-year-old son" of Charles Anderson, residing on the Closser farm, four miles north of LaPorte, skipped out of the house Saturday evening, picked up a rope at the barn and then hurrying to the woods, half a mile away climbed a tree and after tying one end to a limb and adjusting tbe other about bis neck jumped off into eternity. His body, swinging from the limb 25 feet above the ground, was found by the agonized father Sunday morning. Utterly impenetrable Is the mystery which surrounds the cause for the act, the only theory advanced being that the lad became temporarily insane and while laboring under some hallucination took bis own life. Walter Brown' Trial. The trial of J. L. Brodrick, president of tbe defunct Indiana National Bank, who is charged with wrecking the batik by embezzlement, abstractions and misapplication of the bank's funds, and by false entries In the bank's books and false returns to the Comptroller of the Currency, will continue through practically all of this week. The trial of Walter Brown, also indicted on sixty-seven counts In connection with wrecking tbe bank was set on the court docket for Monday, March 21, but was postponed one week on account of the length of Broderick's trial.

' Jersey! Sell Well. Farmers' Guide, Mar. 19, 1904.Mr. Henry Vanblaricom, a neighbor of mine, sold his small herd of Jersey cattle at public auction a few days ago: There were twenty-five cows, heifers and calves in the sale and one seldom sees such spirited bidding. The crowd was truly Jersey hungry, and would have taken four times as many animals as were offered. The cows made an average of $73. All but three had been bred and raised by Mr. Vanblaricom, or purchased by hi 03 when calves. He Is a good judge of milk cows, gave them good care and they paid him well. One cow that brought $77 was purchased at the last October sale held at Indianapolis, She came fresh in Noyember and on day of sale bad paid her cost price in profit and had a surplus to her credit. Another cow that cost him $20 when a calf, and that he refused $75 for before she had her first calf, was brought into the ring with her four daughters. This cow Is only five years old and was bid off at $78. Her three-year-old daughter sold for $84, the two-year-old one for $65, the yearling for $56 and her sucking calf for $25. At this sale these twenty-five animals were taken by the neighbors, who were well acquainted with them. This shows how popular the Jersey is in Fulton county. They were all making their owner a fine profit, but failing health made it necessary for him to change his occupation, and gave others an opportunity to get some good foundation stock. During the past year our county bas experienced a wonderful awakening along dairy lines. The location of a creamery plant at tbe county seat is giving the farmers an object lesson tbat bulges their pocket-books. The persons who sell cream are getting an average of ten cents more a pound for the butter in it than their neighbors who churn and sell tbe butter at the stores. It was freely stated at this sale tbat the establishment of this creamery had added ten dollars to the value of every good cow in the county.' But the most surprising thing connected with this new business is the large number of cream separators that are being sold. These new dairymen are taking hold of the work in the right manner, and a few years will witness a great change in both farm fertility and farm bank accounts. , t Fulton Co., Ind. J. N. Orr. Foiled BanX Robbers. T. M. Warne who built and operated the mill at Inwood two years ago, resides at Amboy, Ind. He had been to Marion on business Friday and did not get home until after midnight. When he was passing the Miami County Bank at Ambov, he heard a noise inside and at once hurried tr. the residence of Ora Atchinson, the bank's cashier. Armed with a shot gun and a revolver both hurried to the bank. Just before they reached the building the safe was blown. One of tbe robbers stationed on tbe outside saw Warne and Atchinson approaching and opened fire on them, wounding Atchinson in the hip. Warne and Atchinson (returned tbe fire and tbe robbers ran out at the front door. A running battle ensued and many citizens of the.tow.1 were aroused by the explosion and tbe shots joined in the pursuit but tne robbers escaped, though it is believed both of them were wounded. The safe door was torn off and the front of the building blown out. About $20, which was in a small box among tbe bank's books, is missing, but tbe bulk of the money was undistujbed. The door leading to it, however, was cracked by the explosion, and had not tne two men arrived and opened fire, tbe robbers would have been successful in obtaining several thousand dollars. Fire Test ot Steel Buildings.' The discoveries that have been made In connection with tbe value of so-called fireproof buildings in the Baltimore and Rochester fires continue to furnish an unlimited supply of material for comment In fire Insurance circles all over tbe country, as tbe Baltimore fire was the first thorough test to which the modern fire-proof skyscraper had been submitted in a conflagration, and the ' Granite building, in Rochester, was the first of its kind to be submitted to a similar test. ' The net result of expert surveys Is that the steel frame buildings ,tbat were subjected to intense heat from without and within maybe restored to their condition before the fire for about 40 per cent, of their origional value. When it is remembered what these buildings were subjected to, and that the heat within them was sufficient to fuse the globes on the chandeliers and to melt the cast iron frames on the typewriters; that-every combustible thing within them was annihilated, even its ashes being swept away by the blast, it may safely be assumed that the condition in which these buildings was found when the work of repairing them was begun answers for the first time authoritivcly the many questions that have triacn u to the firercsistmg qualities cf the Etetl-frame system in architecture.
