Prohibition leaders fayor the nom ination of General Nelson A. Miles for president at the Indianapolis conven tion this week without waiting for a definite announcement from him, be lieving there is no doubt of his accept ance. It is asserted that the Indianapolis Journal, old and established as it was, lost to its late owners 1300 per day. Newspaper publishing is a great money burning process in a vast num ber of cases, but there are generally others always ready to take up the ex periment. South Bend Times. Political interest is now transferred to tbe democratic national conven tion which meets at St. Louis July 6 There are indications of a stormy time that may result m disrupting tbe democratic party and tbe forma tion of a new party. Both wings of the party seem to be going In for a fight to a finish and tbe resu t is hard to predict. WEALTH AND POVERTY. Wealth and poverty are terms that iDdicate only comparative conditions. The Millionaire's club recently organ ized in Chicago, admits no member worth less than a mfllion dollars, and those members who are worth less than two millions feel their poverty keenly in comparison with the riches of many other members of that club. When Magellan visited tbe coasts of South America on his celebrated voy age in search of a passage to the Pa cific the gift of a calico shirt to an ad Tenturous savage who boarded his ship, made that fortunate Individual the envy of all his tribe. The posses sion of what in civilized communities, Is deemed a simple, necessary gar ment, was, among those artless dwel lers on the pampas, equal to a patent of nobility. Though it does not al ways manifest itself in such ridiculous fashion, tbe principle is the same in all communities. What is poverty in one place would be wealth in another, and the wealth of one generation would be esteemed distressful poverty by the generation following. It is evident that, after tbe actual necessities of life are met, the ques tion of wealth and poverty is simply one of comparison between individual possessions and the ability to supply artificial o? imaginary wants. He is rich whose wants are satisfied, no matter whether these are many or few. Real wealth does not consist In the abundance of the things one pos sesses, but in the relation of nis possessions to his wants. When the wants are met all suoerfluity increases the burdens but adds nothing to the real wealth of the possessor. Some ; of the poorest men of the present time are millionaires, because they want more and more every day of their lives. It is natural to regard as fortunata those who are possessed of materia wealth, but a "sound mind in a sound body," the Wenings cf home and true friendships and a conscience void of cCzz:z towird God and man"ar3 in Czllzlj fcttter.tbza silver and gold.
Tbere bad been a . grand total of 2,958, 593 admissions to tbe World's fair up to Saturday night.
John W. Kern, of Indianapolis, will be a candidate for vice president in the democratic convention at St. Louis. The Japanese must be good farmers as well as good fighters. The 42,000000 inhabitants live almost entirely on the productions of a cultivated area about, one third the size of Illi nois. Tammany is. after Judge Parker's scalp and with the aid of Bryan, Hearst and the entire free silver wing of the democratic party they will probably be able to prevent his nom ination. The Huntington Morning Journal has suspended publication because the receipts did not meet the expen ses, and Mr. Cbas. E. Lovelace, who published a bright, enterprising news paper, will go west Louisiana is so deficient in Prohi bition sentiment that It can not mus ter even a delegation to the Indian apolis convention. But then it is thought that the party will be just as successful at the November election without Louisiana as with it. Says a telegram: The pension bu reau at Washington estimates that the "unkown army" of veterans made eligible for pensions under the new order of President Roosevelt will not exceed 25,000 men, and of these less tl an 3,000 have applied for pensions. The democrats are pluming themselves because they think the republican convention lacked enrbusiasm. They Should nit forget that there is far less noise in peace than in war. Wait till Bryan gets to St. Louis, there will be noise enough for all parties. Marshall county republicans have placed an excellent ticket in tbe field and republicans should see that their neighbors all know it and vote for it. The men nominated are men who are honest and capable of properly discharging tbe duties that will come to them following their election. Being such they deserve the support of their party and should also have the yotes of other parties members who desire capable men in public places. The Elkhart Review says those critics who are declaring that much of the appirent unanimity of the republican leaders is forced, pay a higher tribute to the leaders than they think. The voters of the United States nominated Theodore Roosevelt. They did it because they trust him and believe in him. If tbe leaders were opposed they had the wisdom of patriotism when they were forced to abandon their own preferences and to execute the will of the people. Vincent n. Perkins, a former Bryan leader of Chicago made a speech Sunday in which be declared that Bryan wasi false prophet, the John Alexander Dowie of the democratic party, a man actuated entirely by selfish motives and after self aggrandizement every minute he is not asleep. He declared Bryan's conduct contemptible beyond measure. Such speeches as these Indicate the harmony that may be expected when the convention at St. Louis shall have completed its work. . The democratic New Yorlr Times says that In selecting the new members of his cabinet President Roosevelt displays characteristic originality and capacity for bringing into political life as his assistants mea who have demonstrated their ability in other activities. As goyernor of New York his success in committing important work to new men particularly well fitted to perform it rather than to the conventional officeholder was noteworthy. In Washington be has retained that excellent habit. How Mr. Cortelyou will acquit himself as chairman of tbe republican national committee, remains to be seen, but he has already shown one qualification in the promptness with which he resumed the whole responsibility and indicated his purpose to be chairman in fact as well 2? in name. He has been anything but a figurehead in the positions he has filled heretofore and tbe readiness with which he assumes the entire responsibility of tbe chairmanship shows that he feels himself equal to it. That in Itself is a rjocd sijn.
. Loans apd cash holdings of the New York associated banks have reached the highest totals in their history. There is an unmistakeable lull in general business, and everybody is watching the crop reports. Everything depends on tbe abundance cf the things needful to keep the wheels o commerce going.
The prohibitionist who are holding a national convention at Indianapolis say they will not fuse with the democrats on a presidential tickets. They have a vivid recollection of what happened to the populists. The venerable John H. Regan, of Texas, who was a member of the Davis Cabidet more than forty years ago, and a member of congress twenty years before that, is a delegate at large from Texas to the St. Louis Conyeation. where Mr. Bryan will explain to him that things have changed since Betsy died. The United States wheat growing section will have to look to its laurels. Tbe area in the Canadian territories suitable for wheat culture is not only much larger than that in the states, but the yield is greater per acre. In the states the average is only fourteen and a half bushels, while the best lands In tbe Canadian Northwest readily turn out twenty-five, bushels. Owing to the length of tbe summer day in Athabaska and- Mackenzie, which is two hours longer than in our Western states, spring wheat matures in 101 to 108 days. THE TRIBUNE WINS. Appellate Court Affirms Decision of . Marshall Circuit Court Most readers of this paper are aware that an attempt was made al most three years ago to prevent the publication of the Plymouth Tribune by foreclosing mortgages on the tangible property and good will of tbe Plymouth Republican. Mr. Hendricks turned over tbe mortgaged property of the Republican but Attorney Martindale made his clients believe that they could prevent the publication of a new paper, and tbe publication of the Tribune was enjoined in the Circuit Court which decided that the proprietors of tbe Tribune had a right to publish such paper. - Martindale and his clients appealed to tbe appellate court and on Tuesday that court affirmed the decision of the lower court, holding that: "Where a mortgage on such proper ty and good will was given by a pur chaser thereof to secure purchase money, and be afterward discontinued publishing tbe newspaper and abanponed the tangible property to the mortgagees, his wife and brother could not be enjoined from starting a new paper under another name, with new furniture and machinery and soliciting the old subscribers, nor could said mortgagor be enjoined from acting aS their business manager la the new enterprise.' The case for the proprietors of the Tribune was managed by L. M. Lauer of this city, who made all tbe briefs for tbe higher court and won the case over Martindale and Stevens on every point contested. , Tbe decision emphasizes the fact that honesty, common sense and law are tbe same thing, and where a sensible lawyer has right on his side tbe courts will decide in his ravor. Mr. Lauer has shown his good sense and judgment as well as a thorough knowledge of law in this case and the Tribune is as much pleased to say so as it is at tbe decision in its favor; and it will continue to be the leading paper of Marshall county and will work for the best interests of Plymouth and tbe entire county, always standing for what it believes to be right. Cleveland Stock Rjsinj. Cleveland stock has advanced rapidly among Virginia politicians since the republicans have named their candidate and promulgated ther platform. The plank In the latter which undertakes to deal with the negrow suffrage problem has hushed tbe voices of those who a week ago were proclaiming that Cleveland could not carry the solid South. These same people are now declaring be is the most available man. It is the opinion of skilled politicians in Virginia that if the admirers of Cleveland shall conduct the negotiations ;. at St. Louis with their wonted foresight and dexterity, and the name of their favorite shall be up at tbe voting, it would be hard to keep the vast army of cninstructed delegates from the South in line for Parker. - EsXimcs' Appetites. The Eskimos have enormous appetites. An artic explorer relates.that he saw a boy eat ten pounds of solid food and drink a gallon and a half of liquid with much gusto. This ' same explorer observed an adult eat ten pounds of meat and two candles at a meal. Sir P. Phillips tells how a lid of 17 ate twenty-four, pounds of beef ia tcnty-fcur hours.
MARSHALL COUNTY DEMOCRATS
Have Candidates for Congress and State Offices, Wise and O'Keefe the Men. A staff correspondent of the Indian apolis News visited the Thirteenth Congressional district last veek clos ing his work at Plymouth last Friday and he tells his paper that 'Eddie" Fogarty will not be a candidate for governor on the democratic ticket nor will he allow his name to be used as a candidate for congress from the Thirteenth district. '"Eddie's" official title is mayor of South Bend, and because of his running ability and his personal popularity the democratic leaders have been trying to force him into all sorts of races. Mayor Fogarty will not give out a personal interview denying that he will be a candidate for governor, but those who are close to him and know his mind are well aware that all the talk of his candidacy is without his consent. It is understood that Frank Ilering, who made such a disastrous race for congress against Abraham Lincoln Brick, is willing to be forced into tbe contest again, but tbere does not seem to be an extraordinary amount of pressure being brought to bear upon bim in that line. In fact, there is a feeling among the democrats of the Thirteenth district that the congressional nominee ought to come from somewhere else than St. Joseph county. When that county has a democratic nominee, tbe republicans put up a much harder fight than when tbe nominee is from somewhere else. They are on their mettle to give tbe republican candidate as big a plurality as possible through local pride, and though tbe democrats work as bard as they can, it is well understood that when the re publicans make a real out-and-out fight in St. Joseph county, the demo crats are sure to suffer by it. So all over the district there is a sentiment that the democratic nominee be taken from some of the other counties. But tbe trouble is to get some one to ac cept the nomination. Here in this county Marshall there is a young lawyer who would make a good candidate if he would consent. His name is Adam Wise and in politics his name has a good deal of significance. He showed what he could do in the .late free-for-all fight for delegates to the democratic oa tional convention. A Hearst club was organized, but It was not doing much good until Adam .Wise was elected chairman. Then the club went out and beat them all a city block, cap turing almost tbe entire county dele gation for Hearst. Of course he lost out at Indianapolis, but Mr. Wise de livered the goods so far as Marshall county is concerned.- Mr. Wise is un decided wnat be will do until after the St. Louis convention. He is strong in the belief that ITearst will be nom inated for the presidency end if so Mr. Wise may decide to give Congressman Brick a chance on the political track. And if be does the republicans will find they are not running against Frank nerlng or Dr. Bowers. Marshall county may have a democratic candidate for a state office. William O'Keefe, present county treasurer, is contemplating asking for the nomination for state treasurer, and his platform is such an. unusual one that he will get a good, strong support. Four years ago, when Mr. O'Keefe announced himself for the county treasureshlp, he declared that if elected be would turn back into,the treasury all interest on the county funds in his charge. He said that as the law contemplated that the county treasurer shall receive a straight salary, It would be a vloaltion of the law to take the interest and he stood for the law. He was neminattd and elected, and when he leaves the office' he will have turned back to the county about $4,000 in interest that generally goes into the pockets of the treasurer. Now Mr. O'Keefe declares that If he should be elected state" treasurer be will observe the law governing that office. The state funds will remain in state vaults, and any extra money that is not specially stated shall go to the treasurer shall go to the state. All he will ask will be the salary päid bylaw to the Treasurer of State. Aowever, he has not decided to be a candidate. He is one of the leaders of the Bryan-Hearst meu in this county and the result of the national convention at St. Louis may cause bim to withdraw from the race for state treasurer.. - Plymouth Base Ball Team Defeated. The South Bend Vernons beat the Plymouth team here Sunday. The score was 6 to 4 in favor of South Bend and the game was one of the best ever played in this city. The Plymouth team have every reason to feel proud of their work. There was a large crowd in attendance.

Council Proceedings. Tbere was a lengthy session of the
city council Mondav evening. The councilmen were all present and tbe mayor was In bis chair. A letter was read from John P. Fitzgerald stating that the railroad crossing atGarro street would be put In proper condition in the very near future. The water works superintendent was ordered to repair the leak in the water main on Garro street near O'Keefe's office. The time being about up for the liability of Hatch & Son for the defective material and construction of the North Michigan Street pavement under their maintenance and material bonds the committee on streets and alleys and the city civil engineer were ordered to make a close inspection of ihut pavement and to require Hatch & Son to make such necessary repairs as they deem right and proper. A new brush for tbe street sweeper was ordered to be purchased. The defective Condition of the abutments of the Blain bridge on East Garro street was referred to the committee on sewers and drains with instructions to report what was needed. The finance committee reported as follows: Amount on hand $11339.81 Bills Allowed 1185.62 Balance on band 10154.19 Committee on sewers and drains re ported an examination of tbe sewer petitioned for extending from near tbe basket factory south and across the Pennsylvania right of way. The matter was continued in their hands for further investigation. JVM. Cook. Emanuel Shi rar, Vincent West, Frank Petcher and Perry Smith having made application for appointment as sexton of Oak Hill Cemetery a ballot was taken and Emanuel Shirar having received five votes and Frank Petcher one vote. Shirar was declared elected. The election of a water works super intendent was deferred until some fu ture meeting. It being deemed advisable by tbe council to provide some protection for tbe safety of tbe public during tbe automobile races on July 4tb, tbe com mittee on streets and allejs was in structed to take proper steps to piovide for such safety and to secure suitable indemnity to tbe city against any accidents. Council adjourned at 30:20 p. m. Knox the Greatest Attorney General. Philander C. Knox, who has lain aside the toga of attorney general in President Roosevelt's cabinet to ac cept tbe Unite:! States senatorship made vacant by tbe death of Matthew S. Quay, was the greatest - attorney general tbe country ever had, according to the president's farewell to Mr. Knox. Two paragraphs in this let ter, which is of great length, are as follows: I accept your resignation not only with keen personal regret, but with a very real feeling of the loss the country thereby sustains. Permit me to add that I do not think I could have made up my mind to acquiesce, bowever reluctantly, in your leaving your present position had I not also realized the services you could render in the senate. Many great and able men have preceeded you in the office you hold; but there is none among them whose administration has left so deep a mark for good upon the country's development. Under you it has been literally true that the mightiest and the humblest in tbe land have alike had it brought home to them that each was sure of the law's protection while be .did right and that neither could hope to defy the law if he did wrong, " Killed By a Buzz Saw. David Miller, while assisting to saw wood with-a buzz saw at the home of Emanuel Fisher in Whitley county, last week was killed by tbe tbirty-two-inch saw being torn from the shaft by a stick of wood falling into tbe frame between tbe feed and the frame. The heart of the steel disc was torn out and It jumped off the end of the shaft, over the burr and tore like lightning over the ground. .' In Jts course it struck two other workmen, cutting them badly about the limbs. - Other workmen jumped for their lives and and were thus saved from injury. Tbe saw traveled thirty feet from where it started, and striking a stick of wood bounded up to the roof of the barn where it stuck. Saint Joseph Republicans. The republican county convention held at South Uend Saturday nomin ated the following ticket. Thad M. Talcott, former Representative, for Senator, Dudley M. Shlvely and Gilbert A. Elliott, both former Democrats, for Representatives; George A, Kurtz, Prosecutor; Adam Hucsberger, Treasurer; ex-maycr D. B. J. Schäfer, Sheriff; Titus E. Kinzie, Surveyor; Dr. Hi C. Holtzendorff, Coroner; Barnev C. Smith and M. B. Russ, Commissioners. There were several big surprises in tbe convention for refusing some candidates 'renominations and some who were honored; Energy all gone? Headache? Stomach out of order? Simply'a case of torpid liver. BurdocS Blood Bittere will make a newsman or woman of you.
