For the past several months the saloons of Plymouth bave been allowed kept open on Sundays and after tbe regular closing time at nigbt. Election day nearly every saloon bad back way entrances and no . arrests have been made, boss Wolford controlled tbe nomination and eleetion of tbe city mayor, but railed on one important office. It is understood that tbe saloon element is bebind Andy Molter's race for prosecutor in order, to control things in tbe county as tbey J?aye been doing in the city of Plymouth. Will tbe respectable people remain quiet and allow this state of affairs to continue. Perhaps Mr. Bryan's announced determination to tell tbe truth at St. Louis is for the purpose of scattering tbe crowd. The Democratic party refuses to open the free silver coffin at the demand of Mr. Bryan, fearing that be might drop a gold brick into it. The re-election of Edward J. Fogarty. mayor of South Bend, means that be can bave tbe nomination for governor on the democratic ticket if be wants it. . As the gentle spring days go softly, sweetly by, the fact becomes more and more apparent that the unlnstructed delegation to the great democratic poww w is the one that will cut a swath. Russell Sage is rebelling against taxation and says if his assessment is not reduced he1 will quit New York with bis millions and reside fn some other city. The richer a man grows the more he hates to pay taxes. A retailer of liquors who has noted the consumption of whisky from quart bottles, says that sixteen drinks to the quart is a fair average. This explains tbe reason why so many democrats believed in the ratio of sixteen to onel According to the Baltimore American, the whole country is asking Utah what she is going to do about it. May have th?.t appearance in Baltimore, but in this neigboorho id it looks like Utah was asking that very question of the whole country. The most important general conference in the history of the Methodist Episcopal church opened at Los Angeles, California, Wednesday, May 4. and will continue in session four weeks. There are "84 delegates representing three million communicants. Four bishops are to be elected and many Important questions will be considered. The Ladies' Home Journal is au thority for tbe statement that most of the religious and prohibition pa pers; that denounce beer and beer drinking in their editorial columns, fairly reek with advertisements of patent medidines which contain from 20 to 60 per cent, of alcohol, while beer contains from 5 to 9, This is certainly an inconsistency. The battle at tbe crossing of tbe Talu rivgr will go down in history as one of the world's bloodiest fights, Over 2,000 Russians andalmost 4,000 Japanese, were slain. The dead were piled in heaps at tbe river crossing and for miles up and down the stream the banks were thickly strewn with corp ses. Tbe Russians made a desperate light before tbey were driven from their position. Some of the children youDg men we should say who are writing re ports of the Yalu battle for the news papers tell us that there ' were more ? - men killed than in any battle since the civil war in the United Stitcs.

Richard Croker thinks there is no hope for democratic success because of r the Hill in f ront.of Parker.

The Hearst men are entirely right in denouncing u if air primaries, snap methods and all that. In that particular they are in harmony with decent citizens of everv party. The democrats have practically settled upon tbe tariff as their dominant Issue for this year. They prabably consider it the best topic lor Judge Parker to keep silent about. Korea derives very little consolation from tbe declarations that the war will never be allowed to proceed to an absolute finish. Whatever happens, the Hermit Kingdom is pretty likely to see its finish." Eugene Debs announces that be will decline to accept a nomination for tbe presidency. In this proceeding Mr. Debs does not line up with Mr. Cleveland, the latter gentleman never having said that be would decline the tonor. Tbe fact- that Iowa has chosen Hearst delegates will not affect the situation in New York or in a single Southern State. The candidate that tbe party wants is one that will be strong in the states that the party has a chance of carrying. The Japs are reported to have a new and mysterious gun which is far more deadly than anything that has ever before been used in war, If the Japs really possess all the terrible weapons of war that bave been credited to them since tbe opening of hostilities they ought to bave swept the entire Russian army out of existence by this time. The South Bend Times and most of the democratic papers of Indiana seem at a loss to understand why Hearst is constantly getting delegates fn democratic conventions. These papers ought to know that the democratic party is built that way and tbe build ing has been largely done by demo cratic editors during the past twenty years. The South Bend Times, one of the ablest democratic papers of Indiana says: Tbe republicans of Lafayette nominated- an eminently respectable business man named Henry Rosenthal for mayor, and then allowed him to be defeated by a majority of 717.' Religious prejudice evidently has a strong foothold at Lafayette. Intol erance of that sort is anything but creditable to a community. A detailed report of the battle on the Yalu river shows that the Japanese force numbered 30,000 and the Russian force 8,000 at the point where the fight took place. Tbe conflict was stubborn and the bank of the river lined with the slain. As this was only than a preliminary engagement, we can readily imagine the terrible results when the two great armies shall come togeather for a decisive battle. The issue in the campaign of 1904, whatever anybody may say about it, is between republican management on the one band and democratic mismanagement .on the other. However beautiful and plausible democratic theories may be, the party leadership has demonstrated beyond question that it is absolutely incapable of ap plying these theories to the well-being of the people. What everybody wants In the management of national affairs is results, and the only way to obtain these results is to keep in power the only party that is capable of bringing about these results. This the republican party does and this the democratic party has demonstrated that it is pDwerless to do. At a meeting of capitalists in Cincinnatti a few days ago plans were discussed for harnessing the Ohio river for power and commercial purposes from Pittsburgh to Cairo. The pro ject calls for an expenditure of ' $50, 000,000. The idea is to elaborate on the work now being done by tbe United States government, and also to building reservoirs at the headwaters of tbe tributaries of tbe Ohio. It i3 stated that the plan can be car risd out for $50,000,000, that it will do array entirely with flood3 and low vrater, and also that it will provide electric current to ail the cities alcn tt3 river at a ersall fraction of the prc-t ccct.

The Hearsh forces were beaten three

to one in Connecticut Friday and the delegates to St. Louis were instructed to vote for Parker. It is charged against Judge Parker that he s red-headed. This seems to shut off whatever chance "there may have been for a dark horse. On tbe last day of April the U. S. trnsport, Thomas, sailed for Manila with $17.000,000 in silver for the Philippines, This is a partial new solution of the silver question. The Japanese have now about 150,000 men In the field. The -standing army in time of peace amounts 132,000. The government has three classes of reserves which bring the army up to about 340,000. It is evident therefore that tbe armies now in the field comprise almost half of Japan's fighting force. Senator Qoay, of Pennsylvania, is at bis bis home In Washington, and at present has no intention of leaving there. His physical condition is such as to cause bis friends some anxiety. He is very weak, and while he occasionally drives about the city, be is accompanied invariably by his daughter or an attendant. Tbe Japanese soldiers seem to be no more afraid of tbe Russians than tbey were of tbe helpless Chinese, whom they drove and slaughtered like sheep. They can march with the best, live on next to nothing, do things with precision and accuracy, endure any amount of hardship uncomplalngiy and fight like demons. Certainly the Russian authorities know how to 'edit war news. Their version of the Yalu battle Is that, though tbe Russians forces were defeated, the defeat was really a great triumph for them, because they fought a superior force a id showed great bravery. There is something in this point of yiew. The doom of Port Arthur seems as sured by the landing of the Japanese army and the severing of railroad and telegraph communications between Russian strongholds. If, as reported, General Okn has landed 75,000 Japanese troops on the Yalu riyer for an advance against the Russian base, some desperate fighting will be done in a tew days. The platform adopted by a new political party styling itself the United Christian party contains a plank anvocatlDg the application of the golden rule in politics. The Globe-Democrat considers this is a covert attack upon Col, Bryan, who, instead of doing unto others as he would thit tbey should do unto him, is trying to get an eye for an eye, a tooth for tooth, and a slit in Athe ribs for a jolt in the neck. While democratic leaders are making a plaiiit about what they call extravagance in a country of eighty millions of people, let them stop for a moment to think of the incalculable loss to tbe country the last time the democratic party attempted to manage affairs. Consider only the loss in idleness that was forced upon the workingmen of the country. Here the figures run to such a point that no human mind can grasp them. And this is but one of the numerous items of loss. Warsaw Times. Leading democratic papers declare that William J. Bryan is endeavoring to secure delegations to the St. Louis convention from Nebraska and other states that will follow him in a bolt if he cannot control the a;tioa of the convention. They say bis plans are being gradually unfolded and that as a matter of fact he makes no attempt to conceal his ultimate purpose, That he is in collusion with W. R. Hearst, tbey say, is as clear as daylight and they point to the Iowa convention as proof of their assertions. No man knows better than William J. Bryan that a re-organized democratic party cannot succeed. Tbe only hope of beating the republican party is the organization of a new party, and a formidable new party cannot succeed while tbe democratic party is in existence. Bryan believes that he 13 young enough to have a future. He knows that a successful new party cannot be formed this year, but be believes the democratic party can be E-acbcd and a new party formed ttt will have a choaco of Euccee3 in 1303; ccz::qu:ntly tz b dclrj all fcscn to Civ cad dire.a.pweiaccrat vrlth

The Russian commander on the Yalu confesses that he was forced to fight whether he liked to or not. The Japanese bad got on his fiank before he discovered them, and he was cornpelled to fight in order to extricate himself. The Japanese army was three times as large as the Russian army, and the Russians made a valiant fight.

The city marshal of Laporte was reelected by a plurality reduced from something over 600 two years ago to 69. He was the regularly chosen democratic nominee both times, but bis administration bad not been satisfactory to his own party. Now, chagrined because of his small vote, he is making Laporte a "dry" town. Saloon keepers are being prosecuted for selling intoxicants on election day; gamblinghouses and ill resorts are being instructed to close their doors; and a 'blind pig' has been made to see the error of its ways, and word has gone out that hereafter Laporte will not be an "open town." The Fourth oi July. The approach of the Fourth of July is stirring up municipalities large and small, to the consideration of present methods of celebrating tbe day by Young America and by America not quite so young and to ways and means of diminishing the noise and the explosions, tbe fires and tbe Inevitable accidents. The Inquirer, published In the sleepy old town of Philadelphia, rises to remark that the really big town no longer considers noise as a necessary exhibit to demonstrate progress and prosperity. But on the subject of noise Philadelphia can not be taken as an expert, very little of the article being known thereabouts. Nevertheless there is very much to commend itself In tbe projected effort to suppress the intolerable nuisances of the Fourth in tbe '..nape of detonating Implements and fulminates, and the movement Is not so much in the way of decline of patriotism as it is in the line of necessity for measures of safety. The number of deaths di rectly resulting from the method in which the Fourth was celebrated last year exceeded 2,000, while there were maimingsand blindingsand burns and seal clings innumerable, tbe deadly toy pistol, forbidden in the abstract, but used in the concrete, furnishing the largest percentage of tbe casualties. Pagan Appeal For Humanity. Late copies of the Hochi Shimbun, one of tbe leading morning papers of Tokio, Japan, has arrived In the United States, and a translation of the contents develops some interest ing things. Naturally the war news and comment, with proper illustrations, make up the major part of the paper's con tents. Tne leading editorial is a humane and entirely fair discussion of the war. Readers are urged not to cherish un civilized feeling of revenge. "When the struggle is over,,' says the Hochi Shimbun, "Russia will be our good neighbor and friend. " Only Russians with deadly arms are to be fought, it continues, and the Japanese are' re quested to deal with Russian prisoners in a kindly and humane manner. A section of the editorial reads: 'There are not many of theenemey's captives with us at present. The four sailors from the Russian torpedo-destroyers are in our hospitaj, and are well cared for. They were among the crew of sixty who fought a valiant fight and bravely died at their posts. They are heroes though they be of the enemy. They are true sailors who have done their duty faithfully. ' Then why should we not honor them and treat them kindly? It is a fact to be regretted that our people, who ' were coming away from Manchuria, Vladi vostok and vicinity were subject to many indignities. Our helpless women were shamlessly misused. Rut this is not an excuse for us to treat the Russian captives unkindly. Reyenge is sin; it is a barbarous act. "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth," belongs to an old law that is obsolete. We are living under a new law of universal brotherhood and love." And tjis is from the pen of a pagan editor, printed in a pagan paper of great prominence in a pagan country! There is no unchristian-like note, no appeal to barbaric methods in any of tbe utterances of tbe Japanese press or in any of the official 'orders so far issued by the government.

May Meehng of Commissioners. Tbe county commissioners met in regular session, Monday, May 2, all members being present. Very little business of importance outside of regular routine work was considered by tbe board. The John Sheaks ditch In Polk township cannot be located yet on account of the condition of the grounds. .The viewers will meet June 6. A headstone was ordered for the grave of Calvin Pearson, a deceased soldier of Union township. Ezra Hawkins and others filed a petition for the vacation of a road in Union township and asked for the location of a new road. An unfavorable report by the viewers of the Greer road caused the rejection of the proposed road by the commissioners. Erroneous taxes to the amount of $2.20 was refunded to Adam Ruff, and $1.59 to Jefferson Huntar. Certain records in the county clerk's office were ordered rebound. The incorporation of the village of Lapaz was ordered. Liquor licenses were granted to S. C. Parks of Bourbon, John Thayer, Lapaz and George Zeiters of Argos. The Rochester bridge company were the lowest bidders on bridges and tbe contract for the live new bridges in the vicinity of Bourbon was awarded to them. The contract for abutments was awarded to Frank Shively and Elba Cochran. The abutmtnts cost as much as the bridges, and the tiye bridges and abutments when completed will cost about $1800. Jacob Richard, trustee of Green township,1 asked for a new bridge over Yellow river in his township, The bridge was granted and an appropriation of $2,000 was voed to cover expense of building it. Three thirty-foot bridges for the Zechiel ditch in Union township were ordered ana an appropriation of $180 was made. The Liggett bridge and tbe Shaffer bridge in Center township were ordered repaired, and a stone arch was ordered for the Weedling ditch. Democratic State Convention. The democratic state convention at Indianapolis Thursday for the purpose of selecting delegates to the national convention promises to be one of the liveliest conventions held by Indiana democrats since 1892. The Parker and Hearst forces will have their headquarters during the convention at tbe Grand and Claypool hotels, respectively. Hearst's managers are making special preparations to entertain their people on a lavish scale, such as Indiana Democrats bave never known before, and will show that the bottom of tbe Hearst barrel has by no means been reached. J. Oscar Henderson, who is at tbe head of the bureau, has engaged the large assembly room on the eighth floor of the Claypool as a general rendezvous for the Hearst delegates and rooters, and in addition a room will be furnished for each district, or at least for districts that come up with a sufficient number of Hearst delegates to justify the opening of a district headquarters. Several men from Hearst's Chicago headquarters will be there for tbe convention to assist in entertaining tbe delegates and doing tbe wirepulling behind the scenes, while in the open Henderson, Neal, Isherwood, Caldwell, Senator Lew V. Ulrey of Fort Wayne, Edgar L. Mains and three or four other Indiana men will marshal tbe forces. The Hearst leaders are not altogether pleased with the suggestion that the Parker people have slated Alonzo Greene Smith for permanent chairman of the state convention. They are familiar with his record as a presiding officer, made in the state senate m 1887, when he took possession of the chair, had himself declared acting Lieutenant Governor, or president, and ruled the upper branch of

the legislature with an iron hand duridg the memorable senatorial figbt and thev know that with him in the chair in the state convention the Hearst delegates will be as helpless as the republican state senators were-in 1887. However, they realize that the Parker people will be able to organize the convention and make Mr. Smith chairman if they wish. If the Hearst! tes should be able to organize the convention it is understood that they would name Senator Ulrey of Fort Wayne or James McCabe, of Wllliamsport forchairman. luesday's Elections. We do not think that the mimicipal elections held Tuesday throughout Indiana have great political significance, In almost every case there were special reasons why the people voted as they did. Wein Indianapolis, after our experience of last October, can understand this for we know that a democratic mayor was elected here by the help of hundreds of republicans who did nöt cease to be republicans. More and more people are Ehowlng an unwillingness to allow their action in local elections to be controlled by partisan considerations. And thi3 is one of the best signs of Viz Vzzzz.

Center Township Commencement. The annual commencement exercises of the Center township schools were held at the opera house in Plymouth, Friday evening, May 6. The graduates were narley Shearer Albert Furry, Fred N Liun, Chauncey Strawderman, Grace M. Roberts, Emmet Warnacut, Minnie Gerard, Flo Bogus, Bennie Force, Nellie Switzer, Arthur Peterson. Bessie A. Ritchey, Harry II. Deacon, Herschel Spitler, Guy Hire, John A. Eckert, Edith Stevick, Howard E. Staley, Harold Stephenson, nineteen in all. The class motto was: "He lives most who thinks most." The invocation was hy Rev. R. G. Upson; the Plymouth orchestra furnished excellent music, and tbe address hy Prof. Bogarte, of Valparaiso on the '-Evolution of man" was excellent and secured the attention and approbation of tbe entire audience. The township schools have never been better than during the past year. Teachers and pupils deserve and have received commendation generally. The opera house was crowded to its utmost capacity at tbe graduating exercises and many went away because they could not get in.

Buddhism Breaking Down. W. E. Curtis, the well-known trav eler and correspondent, is now in Bur ma, and in one of his letters to the Chicago Record-Herald he says: Slowly but surely the great fabric of Buddhism, which has stood in Burma for 2000 years, is breaking down and crumbling away. It cannjt stand the test of education. It cannot endure the light of modern inquiry; it does not conform to the demands of civilization: it does not apply to tbe wants and needs of progressive minds, and as the common people are educated and extend their knowledge and experience its influence must disappear. Whether its believers will adopt Christianity when they abandon the faith of their ancestors is doubtful. Tbe failure of tbe foreign population to exemplify the ideals taught by Christianity, and to observe its principles, always puzzles tbe heathen mind, and our theological differences are an obstacle to bis understanding, although he is accustomed to similar controversies in his own religion. No one is so keen as a pagan to realize the difference between preaching and practice, and be usually comments upon it with cynical amusement, which impairs, if it does not destroy, his faith in uur pretensions and sincerity. It is comparatively easy to teach him that his gods are impotent and that tbe evil spirits which inhabit tbe atmosphere cannot affect his affairs or change his destiny, but the differences in the interpretation of tbe Bible are tod complicated for him to grasp, and he finds it easier to drift into indifference and materialism. A Police Board That Is in Earnest. The Boston police board recently adopted a rule intended to .prohibit women .from drinking in saloons. After the" order had gone into effect some of the saloon-keepers discover a technicality upon which they thought they could evade the mandate. Ac cordingly they began to sell to the women "samples" of liquor in bottles, which was not specifically prohibited under the general order. Chairman Emmons of the police board at once notified .the offenders that such attempts at violation of tbe spirit of tbe board's mandate would in every case be followed by a revocation of tbe liqucrseller's license, and the practice came to a sudden stop. The Boston police board has evidently started out with the serious Intention of keeping women from the saloons. Its order is not a mere subterfuge calculated to appease the public and to be winked at by tbe authorities. A Lesson In Success. Joseph Jefferson, the veteran actor, In a little speech the other night, stated that his first appearance on the stage was in his youth as a vocalist and in attempting to sing the "Star Spangled Banner, " he failed completely, broke down and left the stage amid a shower ofxhisses. His first thought was that he never more would appear in public, then the thought came to him that he was a coward to give up so easily, so he determined to show the people that he could sing that song and he went out and he went out and sailed through it in such fine shape as to win an encore. From that time on his success was assured and In all his half century's experience on the stage that was the only time he ever was greeted wita a hiss. . RittltsnaXe Bites. In western Kansas it is an accepted fact that the oite of the rattlesnake is always fatal to the horse and never fatal to tbe dog.. No matter how soon remedies are administered after a horse is bitten, it is lmposible to rave him, and he invarably dies in a few hours in apparently tbe t greatest agony. Horses are almost always bitten on the ncee, as the snake springs on them while they are grazicj.

Besides the pupils weru given the benefit of graded work in place of country schools, better teach ers, etc. 85 per cent of the patrons have become favorable to the centralization plan. Intervention in the East. Suppose Great Britian, the United States. Germany, France and Italy should ultimately regard it as necessary to put an end to the Oriental struggle. Would Russia still declare that she could not tolerate outside interference? If these nations should force a settlement upon her, it would be the same medicine that she and her fnepds administered to Japan in 1895. Providence Journal. Modern Casibt&ua.
