The first election tnis year of any political significance will be held In Oregon the first Monday in June. The question as to tbe constitution ality of the Indiana law extending the terms of county treasurers and others will be argued before the supreme court May 24, the case having been advanced by mutual agreement. Congressman Brazele, of Louisiana, expresses the belief that Mr. Cleve land doesn't expect to be President again. Thus is an anxious peopfe re minded of the wisdom of the Book of Mormon, which saith that blessed is he that expecteth nothing, for he won't get it or words to that effect. The Russians have repaired the railway to Port Arthur and have succeeded m getting a train load of ammunition to the besieged garrison. The Japanese advance seems to be concentrating on IIa! Cheng which if captured would give the Islanders complete control of the peninsula. The-Jlussians are believed to be blowing up their ships at Port Arthur. No state in the Union has lost moral and political prestige quite so badlv as Illinois. There was a time when that state was regarded among the bast in the entire confederation. This prestige has departed. A state that once bad a right to boast of its superb statesmeu is now practically controlled by the smallest sort of peanut politicians. This applies to both of the leading parties in that commonwealth. South Bend Times, Evidently the Cincinnati Enquirer Is not overly pleased with the enactment of an inheritance tax by the Ohio legislature. The Enquirer Is owned by a man who has piled up a good many millions and who seems to think that the state has no claim- on any part of his accumulations. That's just where he is 'very much in error. To whom much is given, of him much is rightfully expected. He can't take his wealth him. Why shouldn't the state, that afforded him protection to life and property for many years, lay claim to a certain percent thereof ? The Indiana supreme court has declared the legislative apportionment act passed by the last legislature to be unconstitutional as already decided by the lower courts. This will throw the apportionment back to that of 1897, the one also mads by the republicans, but considered much fairer in its proYisions. The decision is given by an unanimous republican court and has been eagerly awaited previous to nominations for the legislature. It will not affect Marshall county as no change was made in either the senatorial or legislative districts of this county 6y the last legislature. The New Orleans Picayune says little men cannot lead great parties successfully. It says the democratic party in its palmiest days was lead by its greatest men, whereas now these great men and wise statesmen have been repudiated and set aside and the little men now in control are bringing defeat and failure to the past everywhere.. The Picayune says no political party can be carried to power and victory or be kept in power by demagogues and small politicians. Great generals are required to wiD jreat battles and little commanders, who are t!j only in vanity and self -conceit will jj the best soldiers In the v?orld to rnt:r tsd defeat. 1

Official Inquiry shows that Viceroy Alexieff's report that railroad communication with Port Arthur had

been restored is untrue. Our friends the enemy had a lovely time with their state convention at Indianapolis. Both factions made A very serious charges of the corruption of delegates and it is probable that both came pretty close to telling the trath. The pork in the pot made the convention very exciting. The assertion by Ruian author! ties that Port Arthur would, not be abandoned and that it bad provisions for a year beems to have been made hastily, since It is reported that the evacuation is to take place at once Evidently the bottling process Is not agreeable, when considered closely. Metsker with the Plymouth Democrat and the Independent was not aWe to control a vote from Marshall county at the state convention, but the convention went Metsker's way and controlled the entire seventeen votes Just the same. Marshall county was blotted out, wiped entirely off the political map by St. Joseph. Elkhart, Starke and Kosciusko counties. While the delegates from Indiana to the St. Louis convention are Instruct ed for Parker there was no enthusiasm tor him in the convention. It was evident that Indiana democrats-prefer McClellan to Parker and the delegates will vote for him if they get a chance. The unit rule and instructions were adopted by the convention to prevent Hearst from getting any votes from the Indiana delegation. The Connecticut democratic convention instructed for Parker, but, as a paper of that state succinctly remarks, "No one cared a continental for him. " The same condition obtained in the Indiana convention. There was a great hulJa-balloo over the candidate favored by Taggart and delegates were instructed for him him, but for the nun himself nobody cared. How could they? They never heard of him until a few weeks ago. The Goshen Democat reads a lesson to the Fort Wayne newspapers, It says: "Had the two democratic newspapers in Fort Wayne, the Sentinel and the Journal-Gazette, taken a firm stand against Hearstism at the very beginning instead of the mild disapproval registered in the editorial columns', Allen county and the Twelfth congressional district would not have been in such a humiliating position in the Indianppolis conven tion. . When the Hearst men under the leadership of Charles Kellison bolted the caucus of the Thirteenth district at Indianapolis Wednesday night, II. A. Barnhart of the Rochester Sentinel, succeeded in getting the Hearst men of Fulton county to remain with the Parker crowd. A few Elkhart Hearst men were also induced to join the Parker forces, this gave them a quorum and two Parker men, F. E, Hering, of South Bend and Omer Neff of Milford. were elected delegates to St. Louis. McClure's magazine for May con tains an extract from a letter written by President Roosevelt to Ray Standard Baker, in which the president says: "1 believe in corporations; I believe in trade unions. Both have come to stay, and are necessities under our present industrial system. But where, in either one or the other, there develops corruption, or mere brutal indifference to the rights of others, or a short-sighted refusal to look beyond Lthe moment's gain, then the offender, whether union or corporation, must be fought, and if the public sentiment is calloused to the iniquity of either, by Just so much the whole public is damaged." In the news columns of our paper today will be found the result of the democratic convention at Indianapolis. The Hearst men were bound hand and foot. All of the districts except the 12th, the Fort Wayne district, elected anti-Hearst delegates. It Is reported that the Hearst men of the Thirteenth district will contest. They selected R. D. Peters of Starke and H. E. Corbett of Elkhart as their delegates. The "big four" delegates from the state at large are W. H. O'Brien, John W, Kern, B. F. Shively and Major G. V. Menzies. They are all for Parker, and the thirty delegates from Indiana are instructed to vot3 ts a unit for Parker.

Mayor Fogartyof South Bend, ' fias verified the prediction of the Plymouth Tribune made the evening after the city election, and has announced himself as a candidate for the democratic nomination for governor. The Parker men vsay that Indiana delegates to the national convention from Indiana or the past 52 years have been Instructed to vote as a unit and that a majority has always bad the right to determine how the vote of the state should be cast on all questions decided by the national convention.

Judge Parker now has instructed delegates from New York, Connecticut and Indiana and a delegation favorable to him from New Jersey. These are the old pivotal states. Without them no democrat can be elected president. The fight between the Hearst and Parker forces In these states makes it certain that neither Hearst nor Parker can carry any of them. The sudden change in the tone of Hearst's Chicago paper, following immediately upon the action of Indiana democrats in repudiating Hearst, leads many politicians to believe that Hears is now practically out of the race, that he has seen that be has been victimized and bled by men who wanted nothing but bis money, and that he has decided to call the fight off. The Chicago American's account of the convention was decidedly tame. As stated in the Plymouth Tribune of Thursday the state convention by a vote of 1,074 to 468 adopted the unit rule and instructed Indiana's thirty delegates to vote as a unit for Judge Parker fjr president. Thomas Taggart was endorsed for chairman of the national democratic committee. W. H. O'Brien, B. F. Shively, John W. Kern and G. V. Menzies are the four delegates fiom the state at large. Frank E. Hering of South Bend and Omer Ncff of Milford are the delegates from this congressional district. The supreme court of Indiana is wholly republican in politics but we are glad that it is not partisan when it decides party questions. In deciding the legislative apportionment law unconstitutional the court says. "An apportionment which gives and is In tended to give to one political party or another a decided or unfair politi cal advantage in the election of mem bers of the General Assembly, where such disparity can be avoided, must for. that reason be condemned. In the consideration of such statutes the law can regard with no favor a law which designedly disfranchises any portion of the male inhabitants of the state over the age of twenty-one or deprives them of that fair proportion of r pre sentation which the constitution de clares they shall have." It is announced that Judge George Gray, of Delaware, has been chosen by the nominating committee of the National Civic Federation to succeed the latf Senator Marcus A. Ilanna as president of the federation. At the recent meeting of the federation the matter of filling the vacancy caused by Senator Hanna's death was delegated to a nominating committee composed of Bishop Potter and President John Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers: They hava agreed upon Judge Gray as the best man for the place and will recommend his selection at the next meeting of the federation. The election of Judge Gray is deferred, they say, until after the nailonal democratic convention in St Louis for fear It might seem that the fed eration is aiding in-making him con spicuous as a presidential candidate. Pair Apportionments. The decision of the Supreme Court in the legislative apportionment case, upholding the decision of the Ripley County Court that the act of 1903 was unconstitutional and void, was not a surprise, but was fully expected by all who have been informed as to the facts and the law. The ruling might have been foretold by those who were responsible for the enactment re-districting the State for the election of state senators and representatives, since the unfairness ui certain parts of the new apportionment was too plain for dispute, and Indiana courts have iL-variably refused to sus tain such proceedings. Precedents to prove this are numerous, and the last legislature had no reason to assume that these precedents would be disregarded when the test of the new law was made. In time, perhaps, Indiana legislative majorities, of whateyer party, will learn that it is not worth their while to secure undue political advantage in this way, and that the tetter policy u falrccc3 sd justiC3 to til concerned.

LIVELY IN THIRTEENTH DISTRICT.

Hearst Men Bolt and Hold a Separat Convention. The caucus of the Thirteetth dis trict at Indianapolis wat one of tee livelist ol the night. It opened with caucuses or the several counties and in all the larger ones where the Par ker men were in majority tney pro ceeded to endorse tne unit rule and thus make their counties practica v solid. This step created much dls sension and it was 9 o'clock before the convention was ready to be organized oy the election of a chairman. Benjamin F. Shively of South Bend was put forward by the Parker men and E. C. Martlndale of Plymouth was nominated as the Hearst represents tive. Under the call of counties pro tests were made by tbe Hearst follow ers wherever attempt were made to vote as a unit and this further delayed the proceedings. When the vote had finally been recorded bhlveiy was found to have received 82 and Martin dale 40. Twenty-one of these votes badbeen protested which, taken from Shively and added to Martlndale would have given each a total of 61 making the contest a tie. The chairman, however, ruled in favor of Shively and thirty or forty delegates immediately adjourned to another part of the room, led by Charles Kellison, and proceeded to or ganlze a separate convention. ' While tbe Parker slate was being chosen in the middle of the room the Hearst slate was being voted for in a corner and many of the delegates were so confused in their bearings that they voted for both without apparently distinguishing between them. The meeting was characterized by a great deal of confusion, and no little bitterness was manifested by tbe del egates in personal altercations, and at times fistic encounters were pre vented only by the interference of the more conservative iu tbe meeting. 1 he Indiana Democratic Machine. Tbe democratic machine was in ex cellent working orderat thestatecon vention and Thomas Taggart remains the thrice crowned king of the party in this state. It was very evident that there is much Hearst sentiment in Indiana and numbered among tbe men who fought for Hearst were many demo crats who have held positions of prominence and have been for years the best workers the party had. Their treatment was unjust and inexcusable They were entitled to a hearing. As democrats, they had a right to fair treatment in a democratic state con vention. Their rears of party service and their unquestioned party strength should have given them a voice in the party councils. But they were de nied common parliamentary courtesy. They were hooted and jeered and jos tied and throttled. They were locked out of tbe caucuses ana bulldozed out of their rights on the floor of the con vention. Their defeat was made cer tain by the application of every gag rule and machine method known to the political under world. And as a result Indiana will cast a solid vote for D. B. Hill's candidate at the St. Louis convention, against the wishes and convictions of a large portion of the democratic party in the State. "By Any Other Name." . It is understood that the committee of fifteen appointed by the General Convention of the Episcopal chnrch three years ago to consider a change in the church's official title has deci aed to report adversely to the next convention in Boston this autumn. The committee consists of both clerlcal and lay delegates, and while these are of opinion that a change might be desirable, they have been unable to decide on a new name. It is strange that more attention has not been given to tbe one name which is historically logical. That is "The Anglican Church in America." The church is merely an offshoot of the Church of England; its doctrines. ritual and government are exactly the same. This name tells the story of its origin; it is one that cannot possibly offend the sensibilities of either high or low churchmen, and it is not cumbersome. Popularly it would be called the Anglican Church. That Is what it really is, and such a name would be far better than the present contradictory title. But, if the report is correct, the committee will recommend no change at the present time. Indianapolis Journal. What War Means. - ' The destruction of the docks and piers at Dalny by the Russians previous to evacuation of the town is one of the lamentable results of the war. The town itself, which it does not appear is yet destroyed, was built to orderly Russia, and the harbor improvements were constructed at an enormous cost to serve the needs of growing traffic. To prevent the enemy from gaining any benefit from these docks was, of course, the purpose in blowing them up. This ruin of valuable and important property that will take years to replace is one of the things that war means, but It is nose the lees & matter of rtjret.

Increase in Number of Divorces.

The discussion of possible remedies for the divorce evil by speakers before the National congress of Mothers in this city on Thursday calls public attention to the increase in number of divorces granted in many states during the last two or three decades. Tbe statistics tell a story of marital disruption that seems almost incredIble. As an instance of the growth of divorces one of the speakers cited he example of Ohio, where one divorce in every twenty-five marriages was the ratio in 1870 and one divorce in eight marriages the ratio in 1902. Other states might have been cited, however, as illuetrative of the tendeacy to seek relief from marital responsibillties and Incompatibilities In the courts. In 1867 Indiana had 1,096 divorces, the largest number for that year In any state. In 1900 tbe number had Increased to 4,699, or one to everv o. i mamaLraoi tue vear. wiuu ' o igan divorces increased from 449 in 1867 to 1,339 m 1886 and .2,418 in 1900. The ratio in that state Is now one divorce to eleven marriages. IIlinois granted 1,071 divorces in 1867 and 2,606 in 1886. Connecticut and Vermont appearto be the only states In which the divorce ertl has been checked.' The former state had fewer divorces in 1900 than in 1867. Changes in the statutes and in the administra tion of the various county courts largely account for improved condi tions in these states. In the United States during the twenty years from 1867 to 1886 there were 328,716 divorces granted, repre senting an increase of 157 per .cent, while the population increased little more than 60 per cent. In contrast to this picture it is interesting to con tAmnlatAthftdivnrcftKtatistirsofCan. ada. In the latter country sixty-nme divnrces were granted in tne thirtvfour years between 1867 and 1901.Cbicago Record Herald. Slurring a Whole Profession.

Coming from the dean of a law school to law students It is startling. Let ns snrvpv thp. situation calm v for a moment. Here are 1.100 students preparing themselves for the legal " profession more properly speaking, "the practice of the law." In a fath erly, confidential talk to them tbe dean admonishes them to keep out of the law, that they are "too honest to make good lawyers," that only the direst necessity should induce them to consider it. ' Imagine the dean of a medical college admonishing its graduates, after four years of study and hospital practice, to keep out of medicine, that tbescierce was only an experimental one, any way, and tnat ir doctors were jailed for homicide the jails wouldn't hold them. .

Although Mr. Beveridge came to the senate a young man, compared : with tbe average age of members of that body, and without experience in legislation, he has, by close application and diligent attention" to duty, developed into a ' very useful senator n tbe best sense of the term. He is not so much of a politician as to inthe statesman, but presents that fe-..-..-MLnfLi.. uuuuuauicuuiusvi wo which is essential to national usefulness. lie is, in a IT is in a word, a working senator, and his career has been dis-1 inctively creditable to him and to his jftatp.
