The management of the Panama canal is now in the hands of the war department If Hearst is accomplishing nothing else, be is surely waking the demo cratic party up. A guard of police seems to be an essential concomitant of a democratic convention this year. The Parker men got thirteen of the nineteen delegates chosen in Elkhart county.. This assures the Thirteenth district to Parker by a large majority and makes Metsker the biggest democrat in Marshall county. Now there is a tale to the effect that 10 per cent, of the Japanese soldiers are women. Great Scot!

He might have gone further and stated that Morgan was also proud of the achievement. Indianapolis Independent. W. L. Hettinger, one pf the wellknown farmers of Pulaski county, who has been a democrat all his lite, declares that hereafter he will vote the republican ticket. He says so in an interview with the Winamac Republican and bis picture embellishes the ßtorv. A recent publication by the Bureau of Statistics shows that government expenditures in the United States amount to less per capita than in anv other civilized country except Russia. That makes a pretty fair answer to the silly talk about a billion-dollar congresse. This is a big country and there are lots'of people in it. Mr. Fairbanks is not a candidate in the sense of seeking the nomination or in allowing his party in this state ;ormahy to declare In his behalf. But if the nomination seeks him and insists on finding him why, he has not said that he will turn a cold shoulder to its importuninity. That seems to be the situation as it appears to-day. Mr. Cleveland has written a magazine article telling the country how the gold bond issue was made when he was president. He might have gone & bit further in his history and stated that, as soon as a republican president bad been elected, popular confidence was restored and there was no farther need of makeshifts to meet raids on the treasury gold reserve. The national political eye will be fixed on Indiana and Indianapolis this week, because on Thursdy delegates tothp democratic national convention from this state will be elected, and it will be determined whether the Indiana delegation shall go Instructed lor Parker, and whether the unit rule shall be adopted to goyern the vote of the Indiana delegation at St. Louis.

The Milwaukee Sentinel is protest

Ing because the Wisconsin insurance commissioner collected a fee of 21, 000 alleged to be unlawful. The Sen tinel 13 surley very old-fashioned. It is something to be able to draw a warrant for t40,000,000, even as an official, but that is what Secretary Shdwdid the other day inpayment for the Panama Canal property. The Hearst men are largely In evi dence at Indianapolis this week but Thomas Taggart stll stands pat and says the unit rule will be adopted and Indiana's thirty delegates will be in structed for Parker. President Roosevelt is credited with the remark that the republican plat form should be short, incisive, dec! sive, precise and concise. These are good planks to place in position for the support of any political platform. Battle of the Yalu at Wiju on May 1, was won by the Japanese after a bold, swift fight lasting only two hours, in which the Russians were driven from their forts by the remark ably skillful work of the Japanese artillery. The last formality In the Panama transaction has been completed and work will now proceed on the great canal without interruption. At the present between 600 and 8oo men are at work, and when construction Is In full swing several thousand men will be employed. The army and navy of the Czar are said to be honeycombed with corruption, while the Japanese are noted for their patriotism and for their honesty where their country is concerned. Is this the explanation of Japanese triumph and Russian defeat? The grafter is always a traitor. Charles A. Towne would make an ideal candidate for the democrats. He voted for free silver when the enact ment of such a policy could not injure t him in the slightest degree. Having amassed a comfortable fortune within the past few years, be frankly admits that the silver issue may safely be re' legated to the rear, to keep company with a lot of other democratic falla cies. Former Congressman Joseph B. Cber.dle, of Frankfort, is one of the mo5.t enthusiastic supporters of Hearst of the leaders about the headquarters in the Clay pool at Indianapolis this week. Mr. Cheadle was formerly a republican, and as such received bis con gressional honors. Then he became a silver republican, then a Bryan demo crat, and is now a Hearst democrat. In his opinioQ Hearst is by several sizes the biggest man in the countrv. Russia and Japan are both borrowing money. The former country, it will be remembered, does most its busi ness of that character in Parisand the latter in London, Russia estimates the - cost of the war for the first five months, at $125,000,000, and Japan ese expenses will no doubt be as much. But a big stake is being fought for. Manchuria will be nailed down tight and fast by the winning party and domination in the far East will be secured. The Indianapolis Star is deserving of praise for a series of articles intended to arouse public sentiment in favor of a proper observance of Memorial day. The Star does not believe that this day set apart as a memorial for the fallen heroes of this country and the decoration of their graves should be made a sporting holiday. We are glad to note that almost every exchange that comes to our table coincides with the Star and we hope that in the future this day will be appropriately observed as a memorial of the men who willingly risked their lives: for the salvation of the nation. 'I believe there should be an emphatic, a most emphatic, expression Iii this convention against Hearst, and the only way to do that is for the convention to adopt iron clad instructions for Parker." This statement from Major G. V. Menzies, of Mount Vernon, is strongly indicative of the trend of sentiment among the more conservative democrats who are at Indianspoils for the state convention. It shows that the large element in the party that has heretofore questioned the advisability of instructions has turned squarely to Parker, rather than continue to oppecs instructions and thus contribute to what would be ceized upon f-3 a victory for Hcarct in Icdlma.

Mr. Bryan's neutrality in the cam

paign is very much like that of China in the far East neutral, but just waiting an opportunity. The Indianapolis Journal says Indiana republicans are convinced that Senator Fairbanks will be the vice presidential nominee, not because be wants the nomination, but because the party wants bim. The anti Hearst men are making a howl abottthe way Hearst Is buving delegates, but these men know mighty well that neasst is not the only dem ocrat that ever bought what he got in the way of party honors. Senator Gorman slipped over to New York last week to have a little talk with the Democratic managers in re gard to the presidential nomination There are those who think that the Maryland senator may yet submit his name to the St. Louis convention. Parker will defeat Hearst, and Hearst will defeat Parker." sajs President Ingalls, of the Big Four Railroad, "and then we will nominate the right man." And he will be badly defeated at the polls, is what he might have added and told the whole truth. Thomas Taggart has declared him self firmly in favor of the unit rule instructing and delegates to St. Louis. He says if Indiana should go to the St. Louis convention without instructions, Indiana would be classed as a State that bad no preference, or, if it bad, was afraid to make it known. He is satisfied that the delegates that will go to St Louis are not afraid to say where they stand and whom they are for for President. It is reported that many delegates to the state convention, who were chosen as Parker men have given their prexies to adherents of Hearst and a lively time is expected in the convention. The "barrel" is a factor with Indiana democrats and may yet control the delegates from this state to the St. Louis convention. If instruc tions for Parker can be prevented and the unit rule adopted Hearst believes he can very easily buy sixteen Indiana delegates, after which the others will hasten to get into the band wagon at almost any "old price." There is a big fight on at Indianap olis to overthrow Thomas Taggart as 1 a political leader in Indiana. City Chairman James L. Keacb, Sterling R. Holt and other prominent demo crats are engineering the movement to give Thomas Taggart a back seat fu the rear ranks. They desire to show to the state and the country that Mr. Taggart does not carry the Ith district, including the city of Indian apolis and Marion county, around in his vest pocket. They wish especially to deal a blow to his boom for national chairman and they believe that they can do this most effectually by lick ing" him in the Marion county cau cus, by breaking bis slate lor dele-gates-at-large and by preventing the state convention from Instructing for Judge Parker. But disinterested ob servers see the hand of Hearst in this movement. If unlnstructed delegates be sent to St. Louis, Hearst believes that he can control most of them. Democratic Harmony. Some idea of the harmony that ex ists among Indiana democrats may be obtained by a perusal of the following short article written by John B. Stoll the veteran editor of the South Bend Times and whose name was at the head of the Bryan electoral ticket in this state in 1896. Mr. Stoll says Hearst's nasty Chicago sheet Is just now devoting considerable space to South Bend. Attacks are freely made upon individuals who have the cour age to express their detestation of the brazen attempt to buy a -presidential nomination for the heir of a Califor nia bonanza, king. These attacks are Written by professional blackmailers who are by nature and training adap ted to doing all manner of dirty work, either for direct pay or to serve a brace of scoundrels who are feeding them at public expense.

He Mailed His Letter. They are telling a good story on Dr. B. W. " S. Wiseman, the 1 genial postmaster at Culver, that will stand repeating. On one of tbc coldest nights during the past winter, when the thermometer had dropped to a point about 12 below zero, and an icy wind was whirling the "beautiful" into every crack and crevice, along about the midnight hour, while the doctor was In the midst of a wellearned and restful sleep, there came a loud summons at the front door of bis residence. Hastily making a small toilet the doctor hurried to the doorv and through the darkness he descried a man holding a fractious team and dividing his time between "cussing" the horses and stamping his feet to keep them warm. "Hello!" hollowed

the doctor from the porch, "What's wanted?" "Are you Doc Wiseman?" asked the man in the road. Yes. sir," said the doctor; "What can I do for you?" "Can you come up to your office?" came back through the snow and darkness; "It's very urgent, or I wouldn't ask it of you." "All right," said the doctor; "I'll be there in a few minutes, "and thinking that he recognized In the stranger s voice a neighbor of one of his critical patients, he hurriedly dressed and trudged through the snow and the darkness and cold to his office. Arriving there be saw no one, but across the street, In front of the postofflce, was his visitor's team, still prancing In the cold. Mentally commenting on the stupidity of the man in going even that far out of the way. and wondering why he didn't drive over to the Palmer House to bitch, he crossed over and approached the buggy. Is that you, Doc?" said a voice somewhere in its interior: "Gosh! I'm glad vou come. You see, my best girl's a-visitin' at Liogan, an' I've writ her this letter an' didn't have ho stamp to mail it with and wanted it ter git down thar on that early train in the morning, nere it is, and here's a nickel. Just mail it for me, and you kin keep what change is left fer yer trouble," and leaning out of the buggy he thrust letter and nickel into the hand of the astonished P. M. M. D., and drove awav. A few of the words the doctor said have been due up there since the last- thaw, and ascientic inquiry has been started to determine how cold, bo matter howintense, could have had a freezing ef-1 feet on them. But now-a-davs, any one wishing the doctor's services at those hours of the night must be identified or otherwise "show him." Big Kankakee Ranch Sale. The largest Und deal ever made in this part of the state, both in acreage and value, and probibly the largest ever made in,. Indiana, was closed Thursday when the big Nelson Morris ranch changed hands. Nelson Morris, whose big ranch on the Kankakee river, and nearly all in Jasper county, was next to B. J. Gifford's, the largest owned by any one man in the state, has just sold it in a bodv, to the Northern Indiana Land Company, of Ligonier, Ind., and of which company the Strauss Brothers are understood to be the princibal members. The amount of land conveyed i s 52,408 acres. The consideration is not yet known here, but the mortgages for deferred payments alone foot up to $224, 924. If Morris got the price be has been asking, $17 per acre, the entire cost of the ranch was $382,936. The land is practically all pasture and hay lsnd now, and considerable portion wet and swampy.-Valparaiso Vidette. Worked' ' the Ligonier Elks. Ligojler Elks were taken in by a swindler who registered as T. Curran. Chicago, at the Hotel Goldsmith. He wore an elk emblem and operated in connection with a confederate in Chicago, who wired him that he had sent 00 a draft for 8200. On the strength of this the swindler secured about $50 from the Ligonier Elks and a like amount in Kendallville. He also beat his hotel bill, but tailed to work Landlord Benham for $25. Curran has now dissappeared from Ligonier and the Elks there are wiser. Thoughts On Memorial Day. Ths Rev. Dr. Lucas of Indianapolis who rarely speaks without saying something worth while pleaded in his Sunday sermon for a more reverent observance of Decoration day. He well said that persons who were not in the army can not appreciate the feelings of old soldiers at seeing people on this day bent on all sorts of amusement He said further: It Is a day set apart for a funeral service, not a time for pleasure, If the rising generation forgets Its sacred character, it will be guilty of tbl sin of ingratitude and that is one of the greatest sins. The Three Symbols of Japan. The three symbols of the imperial house of Japan are the mirror, the c-ystal and the sword, and they are carried in front of the emperor on all state occasions. Each has ltssignificance "Look at the mirror and reflect thyseir," or, in other words, wKrow thyself," is the message of the mirror. "Be pure and shine" is the crystal's injunction, ;hile the sword is a reminder to "be sharp." Impossible to foresee an accident. Wot imporslble to be prepared for it.

Considerable interest attached to the meeting of the city council Monday evening as six new men who had never held positions as councllmen were to enter upon their duties and take charge of the business of the city. The old council met and transacted the unfinished business and then gave place to the new men who had been sworn into office last Friday. After the new council was called to order Mavor Knott appointed the following "committees: Finance Hahn, Baker, Cole Accts. and Stationery Baker, Hahn, Lacher. Ordinance and Police Ulrich, Cole Ness. Streets Alleys and Telephones Ness, Baker. Cole. Fire Department Ulrich, Hahn, Lacher. Water Works Cole, Ulrich, Ness. Cemetery Lacher, Hahn, Ulrich. Electric Lights Cole, Ulrich, Lacher. Sewers and Drains Lacher, Baker, Ness. Auditing Committee Hahn, Baker Ness. In the above commitees the councilman first named Is chairman of that committee. After the committes had been an nounced. Councilman Ulrich, chairman of the committee on ordinances, presented an ordinance fixing the salaries of all the new officers the same as had been allowed during the past two years except that the pay of the street commissioner was increased to $2.25 per day. After the ordinance was read by the clerk. Mr. Ulrich moved that the rules be suspended and the ordinance passed on Its first reading. The motion prevailed and the ordinance was passed by a unanimous vote. The Mayor appointed Jesse McNeely night watch lor one year. The council took the appointmeut under consideration until the next meeting. No other business of importance was transacted. The new council started off without any friction whatever and there are indications that members are going to take things coolly and try to do the best they can for the city. Sentiment for McCIellan. There is already a considerable sentimate for McCIellan in Indiana. It is flourishing among the anti-Hearst men, who believe it would be good policy to select a third man rather than ram Parker down the throats of the Hearstites aad Bryanites. Promoters of the McCIellan sentiment are generally for the unit rule, but against instructions. They wish Indiana to be in a position to play good politics at St. Louis. V. M. Backus, who has been , traveling over Indiana and other States muse this spring, says he finds many of the coolheaded democrats opposed to instructions. He says he finds a general sentiment that neither Hearst nor Parker should be nominate'd for President. List of Unclaimed Letters.

Daniel K. Harris. Daniel K. Harris, one of the best known citizens of Marshall county, died at his home on North Center street, Monday afternoon, May 9, 1904, aged 70 years, 5 months and 12 days.
