To vote at the city election this spring you must be a resident of the state of Indiana six months; of the township sixty days, of the precinct thirty days. , The city election- takes place on Tuesday, May 3d. Any voter who moves from one precinct to another after April 3d will not be entitled to vote. Mr. Bryan's speech at Chicago indicates that in spite of reverses he is still hanging on and hoping for the

worst.

Mr Brvan says that Jefferson an! Tilden are dead ones." Well, of course they may be said to be deader than Mr. Bryan, because they are burled.

Judge Parker has filed a caveat for the farmer vote at St. Louis." But when Billy Jennings leads that blue ribbon $500 heifer on the. stage the delegates will flock to their milk.

The democratic'party learns slowly, but it always adopts republican ideas if it is given time enough. The democrats of Pennsylvania last week made a part of McKinley 's last speech at Buffalo the tariff plank of their platform. Congress will adjourn this week. It has not passed many laws although some legislation of great importance bas been accomplished. Thomas Jefferson said tbat country s gjverned best which is governed least," and democrats vho believe in Jefferson cannot find much fault with this congress. - Judge Alexander Dowling of Ifew

Albany, has decided not to stand for

re-election to the supreme bench. lie

does not need the. office and having

served as judge of the circuit court

and supreme court for many years he

thinks that it is now time for him to

give his attention to home life. He

bas been regarded as one of the ablest

judges on the bench and the jurists of

the state regret his retirement, t

During the operation or the WilsonGorman tariff we sent out of the.coun-

try 112,000,000 its gold in excess of that received. During the last' nine

months we have imported 156,000,000

in excess of that exported. Protection gives us a favorable balance of

trade -large enough to pay our im

mense foreign obligations and a good

balance besides. In short, every

thing is on the right side of the led-

The Fort Wayne Journal, a staunch

democratic paper that supported W.

J. Bryan in 1896 and 1900, says Col.

Bryan is assuming too much in consti

tuting himself the censor of demo

cratic state platforms. He has had

bb day bsfore the people and had a

respectful hearing. If he has any

thing more to say be will find abun

dant opportunity before the" national

convention. It is a serious mistake

for men honored as Colonel Bryan has

tec n by the democrats of the nation

to employ hh popularity ia cultivating

C:zzzz'.zz2 in rac'3 cf th3 party

Bryan did not declare for Hearst in

his Chicago speech, but he declared

against every candidate except Ilearst

Iowa democrats are for Ilearst but

there are hardly enough genuine dem

ocrats in Iowa to, stand up and be

counted.

The editor of the Atläncr. Consti

tution has proven that he is a genuine democrat. He says a platform Is

something that is not needed after an

election.

Senator nale and others counsel de lay in building more battle ships un til the Russo-Japanese conflict shal

have demonstrated the comparative utility of the big fighter and the tor-

pedo boats.

Tammany is preparing the sawdust for a stampede , to McClellan or to

Grover. Mr.Bryan is preparing for

a stampede to Hearst, and Mr.Gor

man is preparing for a ditto to him

sell. Utlmately it will be the tallest

of the timber, but funny while it lasts.

The Czar has rejected all attempts

at mediation by Kings Edward and

Christian and decides to prosecute the

conflict to the end, disregarding the other powers. The earlier proposals

to Japan are considered wiped out by

the conflict.

Republican leaders at Washington

are all in favor of Senator .Fairbanks

for" vice-president. The Indiana lepublican state convention will not in

struct for him because Senator Fair

banks is not a candidate for the posi

tion. He will probably accept if the

nomination is tendered him unasked.

Trouble for Judge Alton B. Parker

seems to have begun in earnest. Tam

many is after him now and using its

influence to induce the democrats of

other states to refrain from indorsing hfm, using the argument that with

Hill in the foreground as his next

friend, Parker cannot carry New York and therefore will be a weak

candidate.

Pope Pius has the idea of the race

questioa that every christian, of what

ever station in life, should maintain.

According to a recent letter from the head of the Catholic church to Car

dinal Gibbons the pope is of the opin-

on that the negro in this country is

entitled to all the justice granted to other men by the laws of the land,

and a treatment in keeping with the tenets of Christianity. That is the

right sentiment. South Bend Trib-

HANLY NOMINATED,

Ufayttte Man Chosen On First Ballot to

Lead Indiana Republicans.

J. Frank flanley was nominated for

govtrnor on the first ballot by the. re publican convention at Indianapolis Hugh Miller of Columbus, was nomin

ated for Lieutenant Governor on the

third ballot.

The convention was the largest and

most enthusiastic ever held in Indiana

and the ticket is one of the best and

strongest ever presented for the sup port of Indiana voters. rJeuFjcanStTle Convention. Indianapolis April 26, 1904.

The republican state convention

was called to order in Tomlinson Hall

at 2 o'clock this afternoon by State

Chairman Goodrich.

The doors of the hall were opened

at 1 o'clock and within an hour was

crowded to its utmost capacity, the

attendance being the largest of any

convention In the history of the state.

There was no temporary organization. Chairman Goodrich asked at

once for the report of the committee

on rules and permanent organization, by which the Hon. James E. Watson,

of Rush7ille, member of Congress

from the Sixth district, was named as

permanent chairman, with Harry A.

Strohm, of Kentland, as permanent

secretary. rSTT CZZL CTH

The feature of the afternoon session

was the address ot Mr. Watson, in

which the eloquent congressman from the Sixth district sounded the key

note of the campaign. The address is given in full in our paper today.

Short speeches were made by Sen

ators Beveridge and Fairbanks and other prominent republicans.

The committee on permanent or

ganization decided to dispose of all

the nominations to be made by acclamation at the openiog session leaving

une.

Hishop Galloway declared before

the national educational conference at

Birmingham, Ala., that lynching

can never be justified, and that

the South 's first duty is to protect the

negro. The first duty to the colored race, Bishop Galloway said, was to guarantee the negro equal pruteceien

under the law. -'There should be no

aristocracy in crime. We have reoson

for alarm at the phenomenal growth

of the spirit of lawlessness. And it is

not confined to any one section." The

second duty was to insure the right of

the negro to education

The report that Russia is expend

ing $750,000 a day on its army and

naval movements may or may not be

above the mark, but it probably is not far from the truth. The other

report that she is trying to float a loan

of $150,000,000 iu Paris is an indica

tion that the struggle is beginning to

make a drain on her resources. In

the latter part of the civil war the

cost of the conflict to the United

States government was at the rate of

83,000,000 a day, but, of course, .the

expense was inflated largely by the

fact that it was measured in green

backs, which for a long time were

worth less than 50c on the dollar.

Settled In the Right Way.

The yielding of the senate members

of the conference committee on the

postofflce bill in regard to the restric

tions on rural free delivery carriers

end that controversy in a way

that should meet general approval.

Under the provisions of the bill thus

agreed upon carriers are paid a salary

sufficient to compensate them for

their work and are forbidden to carry merchandise for hire during the hours

of their employment and shall not so

licit business or receive orders of any

kind from any person, firm or corpora

tion. The exception to this rule is that they may carry merchandise for hire on request of patrons residing

alon their respective routes, this

stipulation enabling them to accom-

c-ts such patrons in various ways without Using thsnicalvca heavily or

The Good Politicians. The republican state convention

has brought together some of the

cleverest men in Indiana- A few of

them may object to the appelation of politician, but no higher compliment

could be paid any man.

The man is extremely fortunate who

can and does live up to toe full mean

ing of the word. The politician is a

man who keeps in close touch with

local, state and national affairs. He

must be on the right side of public

questions, else, he will fail of standing

with any and all parties. The right

side does not mean that he necessarily

must be a democrat or republican, but that in the advocacy of platforms for either party he must staud for the

good of the community and state,

though small differences may exist on

9trict party lines.

The politician is a power in the

community in which he lives for the

reason that he is ready to advocate in district and state conventions, the honest views of his constituents. The man who stands for self alone can not carry great weight in a convention. The people must be behind him. Politicians have existed since the world begank and they have succeeded through the centuries in building up

governments whfch today are nearer

perfection thaoever before. " ' Takeoff your hat to the politician. Indianapolis Star. The Progress of Congress.

Though, the present congress is more distinguished by the important

measures it has ignored than by those

it has acted upon, there is nevcrtbe

less one thing to which it can point

with pride. That is the huge num

ber of bills that its members have in

troduced In the two houses.

The Fifty-seventh congress made

the record In this respect, with 7,445

senate bills and 17,650 house bills.

The present congress, only half way through Its history, has already piled up 15,398 house bills and 5,G45 senate

bills, to say nothing of its resolutions

of various kinds, which are numbered

by the hundreds.

Thus does congress progress. Its

guiding principle appears to be that the less legislation it intend to enact the more strenuous it ought to be in dsvisin bills which it doesn't mean

to con id er. Chicago Record-Herald.

The Mormon Churrch a Trust.

That the Mormon church is a trust

was the declaration made Saturday by Judge W. O. Powers ia testifying in

the investigation of the Smoot case.

I do not know of any other church that conducts bathing beaches, electric railways, electric light and power plants, banks, mines and mills,'-' he

said, "and that attempts to control

the local politics for the purpose of

obtaining concessions and franchises.

"The Mormon church is a trust and

owns and controls great commercial in stitutions.

"it controls ousiness in utan to a

large degree and it is protected by a secrecy that is difficult to overcome." Judge Powers declared that the

Mormon church used Its influence in

elections, and cited instances.

"Women are elected to office in

Utah," he said. "Tcey are friendly

to the Mormon church. "A woman was elected to the chair

manship of the judiciary committee

of the House of the Utah Legisla

ture. Many women are members of

that body. .

"That particular house elected

Smoot to the senate of the United

Statesand that woman voted for him

"Polygamy is not the worst feature

of Mormonism. . What I most object

to is the domination of the people by

an un-American hierarchy. The be

lief that the head of the church is in

spired is wrong.

"Polygamy can not endure any

more than could slavery. The young

people of the church look upon It with

disfavor, and there would be trouble

should tbe church attempt to re-es-

tablisbit."

t He said he believed the Mormon

church would eventually assume a po

sition similar to that of other church

es. With honest, upright and lawabiding leaders, he thought the peopie would be honest and law-abiding. He deplored, however, that the people were disposed to obey the leaders

of the church, whether such leaders

were good or bad.

Brown's Opinion of America. Mr. Walter Brown, convicted for mproperly and illegally using the unds of the Indiana National Bank

atElkbart, is very angry because of

his convictlou. Mr. Brown and bis

ellow conspirators are now in the

Leavenworth prison.

As the latter institution was ap

proached Mr. Brown'sbitterness found

oice. He is quoted as saying:

"We talk of Russia as a cruel and liberty-robbing cation. Well, I don't think America is much better. I want my boy to grow up and lose his American citizenship as soon as be can." A careful consideration of the evidence against Brown fails to discover a proper cause for his impeachment of

this liberty loving country, whatever

Brown may think of it.

Mr. Brown proceeded to loot a bank,

with the aid of his relatives. He did not go to the institution in the dark

of the moon with a jimmy and a stick

of dynamite, but be did not go in and

take the money, giving in return paper that was worthless he clearly

established the fine social and business

difference between the jimmy gentle

man and Brown, tbe tiuancier.

Financier Brown's criticisms of the

country are prejudiced. Men that

"feel the halter draw" are not likely

to have a good opinion of the law. Nor will his wish that his son shall re

ject us deter the law courts from going about the stern but not unpleas

ant duty of putting wreckers of banks

where they properly belong. Indian

Wheat a Total Failure. Perhaps never before bas Kosciur.ko county experienced a non-wheat-producing year until the present. Within the last few weeks County Assessor Klntzei has driven through and visited nearly every one of the seven teen townships and his observations have been such as to convince him that the wheat this year will be a total failure, and that the farmers of Kosciusko county will not harvest wheat equal' to the amount of seed sown last fall. It is true, Mr Kintzel says there is a field here and there in a township that looks fairly well, al

though behind in growth. Farmers have already begun plowing up their wheat fields preparatory to setting

them cut in corn, oats or clover. Reports from counties all over Indi

ana are practically the same, and all the wheat that Is raised In the state perhaps will not fill one good-sized
