By that time, it is presumed, the bolt will be shot. A little matter of 81,500,000 still stands between the President's service pension order and its execution. Somehow the burden of responsibility alwavs falls on congress in the end. The Chicago beef butcher's strike lasted only ten minutes. Possibly the meat trust has become convinced that H wlli have enough trouble of another eature to occupy its attention this summer. Capt.

Bankbead. winning at the primaries by a few hundred votes. This is Ilobson s first experience in political warfare, and now maybe he wishes he had his old job in the navy. With the blowing up of the battleship Petropavlosk at Port Arthur, the wreck of the English torpedo-boat destroyer Teazer at Portsmouth and te explosion on the United States battleship Missouri, during target practice Jn the Gulf, It is plain that many dangers attend warships other than those incurred in the actual brunt of battle. I connection with the war in then Orient nothing has so impressed people as the secret! veness of the Japs. They give out no information whatever as to victories or defeats. . If ever a nation "jawed wcoi and said nothing," that natioh is Japan. Outside of those directly inserested no living man, especially newspaper men, seems to havfi any idea of the war plans of the shrewd Japs. When something happens we hear about it, but not before. , During a discussion in the Ilouse un Tuesday Representative tiarahold t, of Missouri, quite took the democrats off their feet by showing that Thomas Jeffersoa once entortained a negro at dinner at his family table at Monticello. The negro in this case was born a slave, like Booker Washington, but acquired his freedom and became educated. The incident of his dining with Jefferson is told in his autobiography, which be wrote and published many years afterwards. His name was Julius Melbourne. . lie was born in North Carolina, and in 1815, after having gained his freedom and acquired some education, he started on a trip north, intending to visit Mr. Jefferson. The Philadelphia Ledger thiaks the Northern Securities decision and the anthracite roads decision sh juld convince timid citizens who fear that 'trusts" are beyond the pale of legal restraint or searching legal investigation that their fears are unfounded. It adds: There are trusts" and combinations cf capital good and bad, and the laws of a well-ordered state will" distinguish them. When the Tlcious trusts grow stronger than the the government the days of the republic will be numbered, but that fateful day is infinitely removed from us as long as we possess adequate restraining laws, administered and construed by a clear-eyed and incorruptible judiciary. v S.

The old-time Jeffersonlan Idea is that a government, national or municipal, should do nothing which can In any way be done by private enterprise. Jefferson's hobby was individualism. Hearst has obtained a 'partial victory' tin the Ohio delegation and hopes to swing the whole as a unit at a St. Louis. The bar'l will not be out of the fight until it emits a hollow sound.

Within a month more than twenty large commercial trusts have ceased to pay dividends and gone into bankruptcy. This would seem to indicate that the trust problem is solving Itself. The state republican convention will meet at Indianapolis Tuesday April 27. Undoubtedly, it will be one of the largest gatherings of the kind that has ever assembled at the state capital. News from the seat of war in the far East indicates that the Japanese have gained another important victory. The dispatches are somewhat vague, but they are conclusive on the point that a Russian warship has been sunk with nearly all on board. Parker boomers propose to nominate their favorite on faith and take all chances on bis opinions. They think they are acquainted with democratic voters and believe that they will follow their leaders into a blind pool; but many democrats nave got their eyes open. Gov. William II. Hunt, who has made a good record in Porto Rico, has resigned the place' to accept the position of United States judge for the district of Montana, which will be much more to his liking. His successor has not yet been named by the president. Xot a band clap beard, not a cheer arose as the name of W. J. Bryan was sprung upon the Iroquis club banqueters in Chicago. Tiiat is not a very kind way to treat a man who has borne the heat and burden of two presidential campaigns for the party's sake. ' ' Two million immigrants have arrived in this country within ten years. Yet seven great steamship companies are now cutting steerage rates and passengers can come from Europe to New York for $12. What will the harvest be? The Supreme Court of Montana, which upheld the allowance of a fee of $200,000 to Thomas R. ninds as receiver of the Boston and Montana properties for five days, has now affirmed the allowance of $50,000 for attorneys' fees in the case. Litigation in Montana is evidently expensive. While many of the states of both parties are expressing their preferences for president, only one has gone on (record as yet as instructing for a vice-presidential candidate. This one is West Virginia where the republican convention formally named the ticket as Roosevelt and Elkins, Indorsing the latter, a United States senator, for the second place. - Senator Smith says that New Jersey will send an uninstructed delegation to St. Louis, (whlch will favor Judge Parker's nomination unless conditions now unforeseen develop. New Jersey, having a somewhat prom inent favorite son of its own, evident ly does not propose to tie itself up to any hard and fast pro gram as long as there is the ghost of a chance to have things the way it wants them. Nothing has yet happened which shows that the Russians have any skill in the handling of warships. They are brave, even to the point of recklessness, but something more than bravery is needed to handle' a modern battle fleet. Even those that do not sympathize with Russia in this war will sympathize with Russia in her great loss. Admiral Makaroff, from all accounts, was a brave officer and a gallant gantleman. Progress so remarkable as that which Japan is displaying must chal lenge the admiration of the world, just as the bravery of Admiral Maka roff and his gallant sailors and the ability of the Japanese to keep their counsel and hit hard have extorted praise from all quarters. The lesson of it all i3 that without a navy the work of Russia has been more than doubled and her preepcet of sucee ta vrell tz ca zzz.

Indiana was doing business at both ends of the capital Wednesday, whea Congressman A. L. Brick presided over the house and Senator Fairbanks over the senate simultaneously. Elkhart's "Buster" Brown appears to have met his Waterloo as a Napoleon of finance." There is such a thing as overdoing thissort'of financial jug gling. Mishawaka Enterprise. The Confederate veterans have set the stamp of their disapproval on Julia Ward Howe's "Battle Hymn of the Republic." nowever, the hymn is expected to survive for a few years yet. For a man who Is "out of politics" ex-President Cleveland gets an amazing amount of "roasting" from members of his own party. Mr. Cochran, of Missouri, lambasted him as if he were a live issue.

A wind storm destroyed a statute of Jefferson at St. Louis a few days ago and superstitious democrats fear that it is an omen of the destruction of JefTersonian democracy in the national convention to be held in that city. That Russia already is hopelessly beaten and soon must swallow her pride and sue for peace is the opinion of some of the diplomats of the highest rank at Washington: Such views were expressed by members of the diplomatic corps who met socially on Thursday and talked informally of the outlook In the far East. A well-known actor, who has mas tered German, French and Italian in bis odd moments, and is now studying Spanish, remarked, as he explained his system: "They say charity be gins at home. I think the same is true of education." He learns a lan guage by employing a valet who speaks it. and allows the servant to talk nothing but his native tongue. Those farmers who employ German or Ital ian valets for their cattle might well fjllow this man's example. The Japanese are following up the destruction of the Russian battleship Petropavbvsk and the death of Admiral Makaroff with a desperate attempt to reduce Port Arthur. From 9:15 until noon Thursday two divisions of the Mikado's fleet, including fourteen fighting vessels, bombarded the town furiously. The Japanese make no se cret of the fact that the bombardment was the first of a series of attacks to be conducted by land and sea, with the object of annihilating the Russian garrison and fleet, or forcing them to surrender. The selection of the democratic vice-presidential candidate from In diana seems to have reached the point of probability since - it Las beccme manifest that the Iloosier State is certain to send a Parker delegation to the national conventionr Parker's managers are anxious that the battle shall be waged after the manner in vogue in the old days, when it was believed that the party that could carry New York and Indiana would win in the national election' For this reason the selection of an Indiana man for second place on the ticket is being seriously considered. DINNER WITti A NEGRO. The democrats In discussing Booker T. Washington's dinner with President Roosevelt got more than they bad bargained for. It was shown by documents taken from the congressional library that Thomas Jefferson had a colored man dine with him along with Chief Justice Marshall, William Wirt, Samuel Dexter and Dr. Samuel L. Mitchell, who were at that time among the most distinguished men of the nation. Mr. Bartholdt, of Missouri, who brought the facts to the attention of the House for the first time, bad obtained Melbourne's autobiography from the Congressional Library and verified his statements by reading from it. It almost took the democrats' breath away to learn that the founder of the democratic party had entertained a negro at a formal dinner party. The democrats had never heard of the incident before, The only reason it was not generally known, said Mr. Barthold t, was because nobody thought anything of it and no one saw fit to criticise Mr. Jefferson for it. If Mr. Roosevelt's in viting Bocker T. Washington to an formal luncheon had any significance, what thall bo cold cf the father ,? t:zz:zzj estertaictaj a ccjro ix a fcmol dinner party?

City Republican Convention. One of the largest and most enthusiastic republican conventions ever held in Plymouth, convened at Burket's hall Thursday evening and nominated the following strong ticket: For Mayor, Lewis J. Hess; City treasurer, William H. Conger; City Clerk, Frank A. Hendricks; Marshal, L. D. Espich. All these, candidates except the marshal were nominated by acclamation. There were three candidates for marshal; John F. Kinch, George W. Bowell and L. D. Espich. Mr. Espich received a majority of the votes on the first ballot and was declared the unamimous choice of the convention. The convention then divided into wards and nominated councilmen as follows. First ward, Dr. F. M. Burket and A. Rr Clizbe, Second ward, Mede Logan and F. A; Forbes. Third ward, Fred A, Appleman and F. W. Bosworth. Mr. Appleman declined and Dr. C, A. Brown was chosf n in his place. This completed one of the best tickets ever nominated in this city. The hall was packed and there was scarcely standing room in the ante-rooms. The utmost harmony and good feeling prevailed. If every republican in the citv goes to the polls and votes, this ticket will be elected from top to bottom, because its excellence will give it the support of the best democrats ia the city.

Democratic Primary Election. The large number of candidates ror nomination on the democratic city ticket brought out a larger vote Thursday than democrats will poll on election day. Harley A. Legan was nominated for mayor. The vote was 252 for Logan, 154 for Dr. Reynolds and 18 for Solomon Zehner. Otto Webber was nominated for city clerk. He received 174 votes to 168 for A. E. Rhodes and 16 for J. A. Gilmore. Levi Vangilder is the candidate for city treasurer. He received 200 votes to 162 for B. M. Seybold and 59 for J. W. Maxey. Joseph Glass was nominated for marshal, receiving 160 votes to 130 for William Shearer, 76 forL. R. Curtis and 62 for Peter Ulrich. Rooeevelt and Washington. When the theatrical censor of Berlin prohibited a play in which the President and his daughter, Miss Alice, were portrayed in ridiculous and grotesque caricature, ho did precisely that which was right. The play presented the President in rough rider costume, doing a number of things more or less ridiculous, while to Miss Alice was assigned the part of a typical Yankee girl, caricatured, of course, with a twang that appears to have delighted the lierlinese, probably because it was a twang that exists only in the imagination of the German comic papers. But having done a good thing, the censor allowed the continuance' of the play on the promise that another name should -be substituted for that of Roosevelt, and the house is nightly crowded to applaud the same antics and the same twang under the names of Mr. and Miss Washington. Of course, George Washington was a typical American. He did a little rough riding himself on occasion, and notably so when the German auxiliaries surrendered to him at T:enton. But if the theatrical censor of Berlin productions fails to see that he has not bettered his first action, the American Ambassador might prod him. Tne name of Washington is yet held in reverence in the United States. Cincinnati Times Star. Hurty's Disease Theory, The mortality statistics for March, now being compiled by. the State Eoard of Health, bear out the theory expounded by Dr. J. N. Hurty, secre tary of the board. A few weeks ago the doctor gave out that it was his opinion that the cause of so many deaths from pneumonia during the winter was due to the prevalence of measles and "grip." The statistics for the month of March shows 758 deaths from pneumonia, an Increase of 351 over the number In March, 1903. Of this number 159 were Infants less than one year old and 230 were over sixty years of age. Certificates accompanying the records of the deaths show in nearly every instance the fatal disease was preceded by measles among the infants and grip among the aged ones. Volcanic' Freak in Washington. Another lake has been strangely formed in the Olympic Mountains by the dropping of part of Queen's Valley from sight. This happened three weeks ago, at the time of the severe earthquake. Hunters who have returned from Queen's Valley say that a big section of ground dropped.

WALTER BROWN CONVICTED.

Found Guilty of Complicity in Wrecking ElKhart Bank. Walter Brown, who has been prominent in business and politics in this congressional district, and who as district chairman proposed tocrush every republican who did not agree with him, has been found guilty of complicity in wrecking the Indiana National Bank at Elkhart. President Brodrick and Cashier Collins of the trnk have pleaded guiltv, but Brown will fight for a new trial. The verdict finds Brown guilty of sixty-six or the sixtyseven ' coants in the indictment. Brown received the verdict without a sign of emotion, but his wife collap-" sed. After he returned to his room at the English Hotel the terrific strain to which Brown has been subjected became too great, and he collapsed shortly before 10 o'clock. For a while his life was despaired of, and it required the efforts of two physicians to bring him out of danger. The strongest witness against Brown was his brother-in-law, W. L. Collins, cashier of the bank, who testified that Brown had been active in the management of the bank and had secured large loans on manufacturing plauts which were notoriously insolvent. The jury was instructed that the case against Brown must stand or fall on the proof of President Brod rick's guilt, as Brown could not be guilty of complicity unless the bank's assets had been depleted. . The jury was instructed at 1 o'clock Wednesday afrernoon, and at eight o'clock returned the verdict, which finds Brown guilty of every count ex cepting that charging making false entries in the bank's buoks. It finds bim guilty of abstracting ;he funds of the bak, of depleting its assets through the paper of insolvent manufacturers, of conspiracy with Brodrick to deceive the national backing authorities and of taking out good notes and substituting worthless paper. 9 The publishers cf the Tribune did not think Brown was a saint two years ago, and the Tribune dared to say so. For that reason Brown instigated the establishment of a third paper in Ply mouth, which like his work in the Elkhart bank has proved very unprofit able to his friends in this countv. C. E. Rally. The Christian Endeavor societies of this county held a rally in the Reformed Church Thursday afternoon and evening. Societies from different parts of the countv were present and there was a large attendance from Plymouth. The speakers from a disdistance were Miss Anna Minich, state organizer, from Indianapolis, and Rev. N. B. Mathes, district secretary, from Goshen. Mr. Mathes spoke at night on "The 20th Century Buy," and made a tine address. He is well qualified te speak to' the youth, in whom he is particularly interested. Miss Minich is making a circuit of the state in the interest of Endeavor societies. She exhibited two silk banners, presented to Indiana by Chinese Endeavorers. Both speakers hold a a rally In South Bend today. Marshall county belongs to the South Bend district. Business Usages in Manchuria. A Russian traveler, who recently made a tour through Manchuria in the interest of a scientific association, gives a very interesting accountf the business usages in that province. He says there are in a Chinese busiuess house neither proprietors nor employes; All persons employed share in the profits of the undertaking. During the year each member receives, at certain Intervals, a kind of salary, which, however, Is meted out so sparingly as to be hardly sufficient to supply the necessities of life. At the close of the year the accumulated profitsare divided. Very noteworthy, according to the statements of this traveler, is the exceptional honesty of Chinese merchants, who always and most promptly fulfill the engagements they may have entered into. Thus, for instance, the ten branch offices of the Russo-Chinese Bank, located in China, have since their establishment no record of a single protested note. Sorrow in ElKhart, No incident or tragedy that ever occurred in Elkhart bas entailed such a strain upon people as has the bank failure and its attendant calamities together with the trials of the men connected with it. The former standing of the men, the long association oflhe same with the older citizens, made a feeling of sorrow and disappointment that has strained many a nature during it all. Elkhart Review. The State Convention. Four delegates-at-large, four alter-nates-at-large, governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, auditor of statp, treasurer of state, attorney general, reporter of supreme court, superintendent of public instruction, chief of the bureau of statistics, judge of the supreme court for the second district, and judge of the supreme court for the third district are the rp!r.-f.!e-3 to be mid 3 at the ReI publican state Convention, April 27.

A Just Decision. The decision of the Supreme Court holding that novels and stories published at regular intervals are not entitled to be circulated in the mails at second-class matter rates settles a long controversy and will cause a large increase In the postal revenues. The law fixing rates of postage defines four classes of matter with different rates of postage. Second-class matter includes newspapers and periodicals. A newspaper is defined as "a publication issued at stated intervals of not longer than oue week for the dissemination of current news, whether it be of general or special character," and with other characteristics prescribed by law. A periodical sa publication issu ed at&Uicd intervals as frequently as four times a year, and possessing certain other requisites required by law. Third-class matter includes books, circulars, pamphlets and other printed matter not included in second class. The postage on second-class matter is 1 cent a pound or fraction thereof, and that on thirdclass matter is 1 cent for each two ounces or fractional part thereof. In order to get the benefit of 1 cnt a pound rates publishers of paper-covered novels and stories adopted the ruse of issuing them in monthly numbers and entering them as periodicals. Saving the difference between the third-elass rate of a cent for every two ounces and the. second-class rate of a cent a pound was a big thing for the publishers, and yery costly to the government. In spite of the efforts of the Postoffice Department to stop it the practice has been going on for more than twenty years. Under It the malls have been weighted down year after year with trashy novels and blood-and-thnnder stories published monthly and circulated at "periodical ' rates. This has cost the government millions and millions of dollars and has been the means of circulating a vast amount of worthless, even vicious, literature at newspaper rates. As Congress, Influenced by the publishers' lobby, refused to stop the abuse, the postmaster general issued an order construing the law against the so-called "periodicals," and now the Supreme Court has sustained his construction. The argument of the court Is unanswerable and conclusive. It shows clearly what every person of common sense must see, that novels and stories published at stated intervals are not periodicals within the meauing ot the postal laws and not entitled to the same rates as newspapers,' magazines and other class and trade publications recognized by everybody as periodicals. The decision will break up a long-standing abuse, and by compelling the publishers of these miscalled "periodicals" to pay third-class rates will add largely to the postal revenues. The Battleship Accident The shocking accident on board the battleship Missouri is the most destructive one of the kind that has ever occurred in the American navy. A Washington dispatch characterizes it as the most serious since the blowing up of the Maine in Havanna harbor in 1898. The cases are hardly to be compared, as it bas never been determined whether the destruction of the Maine was due to accident or to an outside attack by enemies. The most serious accident in the navy prior to this one was due to the explosion cf a gun on board the ship-of-war Princeton, In 1845. The vessel, which was built at the navy yard at Washington, was making a trial tr'.p down the Potomac. 'President Tflerandall his cabinet and many other distinguished persons were on board. While firing a salute in passing Mount Vernon one of the guns burst, killing Secretary of State Upsher, Secretary of the Navy Gilmer and one or two private citizens. That, however, was before the days of smokeless powder, twelve-Inch gucs and 500-pound charges. The accident on Wednesday killed thirty-three persons, officers and men. This is nearly twice as many men as were killed in the navy during the war with Spain. Death of "Tom mink. Milwaukee, April 15. Thomas F.

PLEASED WITH VERDICT

Bank Busters Brown and BrodricX Have No ElKhart Sympathy, A gentleman Irom Elkhart states that the finding of the jury against Walter Brown for the looting of the Elkhart bank, at Indianapolis Wednesday, gives the greatest satisfaction, aDd it is thought the people will now settle down to business and endeavor to recoup their, loss. There is much sympathy for Cashier Collins, who is pronounced the victim of Brodrick and Brown, and an effort will likely be made to lighten his senteuce, if not secure a pardon. So strong is the sentiment against the two principals that expressions are made that Brown should receive a sentence of at least one year for each count. By the time the 66 years would expire they miht be sare to let loose. The general opinion is that both will oe given about ten years for their peculations. South Bend Times. Hero Saves 500 Lives. Complete destruction of the battle ship Missouri and the loss of 600 lives as the result of the turret explosion in which thirty-three men were killed, was averted only by the herossm of Chief Gunoer,s Mate Mungon, whojumped into the open powder magazine when the flames threatened every instant to ignite the contents and pulled the heavy door shut behind him. When the officers heard the explosion in the turret and saw the fire lapping through the top they supposed the hot magazine would explode next, and headed the ship for the shore, Intending to beach her if possible, before the explosion. Captain Cowles stopped this plan and put back to sea. At the first explosion the men in the handling-room knew in an instant what had happened. The big magazine door was open, and standing against it were four charges of powoer. Without. a moment's hesitation Gunner's Mate Monson shoved these aside, and, jumping into the magizine, pulled the door closed after him. The magazine was totally flooded with water, and when the men opened the door they found Monson barely alive, the water having reached to his neck. Picks Roosevelt to Win. Mayor Jones, of Toledo, was in Cleveland attending the convention. "What do you thick of the presidential outlook?" was asked. "I 'man awful poor man to ask such a question as that," was Mr. Jones' reply. "You know I'm a man without a party. I don't really see, however, why lot? democrats should be making such a fuss about nominating somebody. Roosevelt is just as sure to be elected as the sun is to rise tomorrow. "I admire his handling of the coal strike. He acted, and he did not wait for law. Action was what he wanted, and Roosevelt was a man of action. Everything considered, Roosevelt is a, democratic American, and a good president. Postmaster Anderson Loses. The house committee on postoffices Tuesday refused to act favorably on the bill introduced by Representative A. L. Brick for the relief of Postmaster W. II. Anderson, of Elkhart. By a vote of 9 to 3 the measure, which proposed to reimburse the postmaster in the amount of $11,000 representing the sum of government money lost in the Indiana National bank, was laid on the table. The failure of the cmmlttee to report the bill was due to the belief of the members that Mr Anderson, as a stockholder in the bank must have known of its condition, and was therefore negligent. Representative Brick made every effort to secure a favorable report, but the committee was opposed to the bill from the beginning. Reopening of Powers Theatre. Powers' New Theatre will open. Monday, April 18th, complying in every particular with the new city ordinence. The house has been practically rebuilt completely so as to stage portionincluding walls, roof, gridiron and fly gallery, all of which are absolutely non-combustible. New opera chairs have been placed In the orchestra, balcony and gallery. The opening attraction of the newt theatre will be MISS MARIE TEMPEST In the brilliant comedy THE MARRIAGE OF KITTY. Miss Tempest will be remembered? as a great favorite in Chicago In the days when she shone as a prima donna in comic opera. During the last four years she has devoted herself entirely to comedy, and has been hailed as the first of English comediennes. Her greatest success was made in "The Marriage of Kitty,' which ran for some 350 performances in London last season, and recently for 70 nights at the Hudson Theatre, New York, where it received more unanimous and enthusiastic praise than any comedy produced in New York this season. Miss Tempest brings her own London company, which includes such international favorites as Leonard Boyce and Ada Ferrer. The czjc;;ecent is for tvo reeks, with reatineea oa aturi2y3 csly.
