Dubois of Idaho nobly bolted in silver's cause from the republican Convention at St. Louis. Four years ago he helped manage the silver republican convention at KaDsas Citv just as eagerly as though he were running the threering circus instead of tbe little side show. Sow he is a delegate to the democratic convention at St. Louis. But his heart is heavy as be looks around him and re Heels upon tee kind of a democratic platform be will be called upon tosupport. 'Back among tbe guld-bugs," he murmurs. "I might as well have remained are publican as to land like this in a gold demo crat convention, wnat's tne use?" Mr. Dubois should not te so downhearted. Let him reflect on all the things democracy has done for him. If he had remained a republican be would have been a supporter of the awful Qime against Columbia, but as it is be was able to vote against tbe Panama Canal. His whole stock of conTictions. first principles and "foundations of our libert'ei" would have been different from what they are to day. Moreover, he Is safely fixed in his chair in the United States Senate, where he forms one-ninetieth of the 'greatest deliberative assembly on earth." Outrageous fortune has no slings that can harm the Hon. Frederick T. Dubois. Senator Piatt, of New York, says the democratic party is asin becoming saae and dangerous. Judge Parker's campaign managers are bending all their efforts to bring about tbe jurist's nomination on tbe second ballot, David B. Hill going so far as to declare that only the first Tdte will be necessary to land him. All indications polnl to the successful culmination of the Hill Belmont organization to make Judge Parker the democratic nominee at St. Louis. The Parker managers are working with untiring industry and delegates are corraled and branded as fast as they arrive. 'Tie opposition is divided and has no recognized leader or definite plan of work. Anything to beat Parker," is the watchword of William Jennings Bryan at St. Louis. William R. Hearst is Mr, Bryan's personal preference, . but be is politician enough to realize that the rnlllljDa'.re editor is out of tbe question and so he is willing -to use bis influence to bring about a combination on any mau except Grover Cleveland, Judge George Gray or Richard Olney. It Is how ciear that the Parker managers have the skill, the energy, the organization and the money. And most potent of all, they stand for a E2T7 dzi, tbe thing the democratic party 13 Insisting on bavinj at this c 3 v wticn.

Indiana will second tbe nomination of Parker for president and Hon. John W. Kern of Indianapolis will, make the speech. 1 . 1

If tbe Parker band wagon s'uould prove to be the necessary vehicle, some of the occupants will have a hard time making themselves like the music. Judge Parker says he is a farmer and has been a school teacher. When Bryan aud Hearst run up against such a combination as that they ought to know they will get left. The opening of 9,000,000 more acres of land to homestead settlement is an event that seems to please everybody, History was writ large by the republican party when It passed the homestead law. Its irrigation act also will be of vast importance to tbe country. Tammany openly declares what everybody has known all alongthat it does not care who is the nominee if. it can have control of New York; and plainly Intimates that as soon as this question is settled to its liking it will step from the fence into the band wagon Reciprocity with Cuba during the last fiscal year cut down the revenue of the United States from $6,000,000 to $8,000,000, according to tbe figures of the secretary of the treasury. Iu our sentimental dealings with Cuba tbe island gets the money and we gel tbe experience. Our Frank Shively is Indiana's member of the committee on resolutions at the democratic national convention and can hive the Domination for vice president if he wants it. Frank says he will not be a candidate . this year. He thinks he has been a candidate often enough when there was no chance of an election. ' Death list in tne Norge disaster off the coast of Scotland is approximately 700. English and German steamers pick up 101 more survivors and land them in Scotland, having found them m a pitiable condition afloat in boats from the wrecked vessel. Survivors of the disaster tell harrowing tales of death. Pitchfork Tillman, of South Carolina, announces that he is for Judge Gray for president because he is a man who stands for tbe democracy which has come down to us from the fathers. This is a surprising statement considering Senator Tillman's political work and speeches during the past ten years. Nobody ever accused Tillman of being that kind of a democrat. The silent Parker is in a position to indorse tbe democratic platform as precisely what he wanted, no matter what goes into it. A candidate who hides his views can play the "me too" role to perfection. The only remark credited to Parker Is "I trust the democratic party." nis confiding disposition to go it blind is a very big trust and it is not strange that be is known as the "trust candidate." It is reported from St. Louis that the Parker men have a majority of the delegates to the democratic national convention now in session there and will demand a platform pledge of the maintenance of the gold standard, objecting to a plank prepared by Congressman Williams expressing acquiescence in tbe present money system, but containing an apologetic explanation attributing the change in condition to natural causes. A terrific fight, the greatest of the convention, is expected over the financial declaration to be made by the party. Serious Accident in Plymouth. Clay Beattie, twin brother of C. R. Beattie of the racket store,, was badly hurt just before noon July 4. He was assisting a boy in getting bis cane to shoot, when the cane which it seems contained two or three cartridges, exploded and a splinter and a piece of the casting struck Mr. Beattie in the face badly lacerating his nose and right, eye. He was taken to the Epworth hospital at South Bend on the noon train and it is hoped the sight of the eve can be saved. Mr. Beattie came here from California two weeks ago and had formed a partnership with his brother. Drowned it UXe cf the Vccdi. Charles Kyser aged 17 years, was drowned at Lake of the Woods just arter noon Monday. It is reported that he and two other young men got to scuffling in a boat when Kyser fell out, went to the bottom and did not come up. Young1 Kyser 's father is d:id; he is a step-son of Noch Bargt t end a cepb3w of Dr. Kysr, of InTTCCd.

FOURTH OF JULY.

Plymouth Celebrated Nation's Anniversary With an old Fashioned Barbecue, Oration, Races, Games, FireworXs and Noises. "The "Glorious Fourth" was ap propriately celebrated In this city. The crowd was not quite so large as that of last year, but it was large enough. The day was partly cloudy, not extremely hot, but just warm euough for an ideal Fourth of July. All tbe business bouses and most of the residences on the principal streets were splendidly decorated and all the towns in the county were well represented as well a) many of tbe towns and townships of adjoining counties. Judze Beeman of Knox, delivered a fine oration at the court bouse at 1:30 p. m., but owing to other attractions and some misunderstanding as to tbe time bis audience was not so large as it should have been. The ball game in the mornlDg was one of the best ever ' played in this city resulted in a victory for tbe Kewanna tiam by a score of three to one, The score shows that Plymouth did excellent playing as well as Ke wanna. The game Id the afternoon was between Rochester and Plymouth. The Rochester team was not fully represented and tbe game was very onesided, being 17 to 0 In favor of Plymouth. The greatest attraction Aas ne barbecue. It was the first ox ever roasted in Plymouth, and everybody thought that an ox weighing 2040 pounds could not be successfully roasted, but Mr. O. n. Miller demonstrated that be was onto his job and when the ox was taken out of his bed of clay after roasting seventeen hours, almost ail the meat was perfectly cooked and was very sweet and tender. The automobile race did not fully materialize at 11:30 a. m. owing to tbe machinery of one of the machines getting out of order; but as there was a string of automobiles on tbe street all day everybody got to see all they wished of their movements. There was a thrilling dash by the Plymouth fire companies at 4:30 p. m. wnich attracted tbe attention and admiration of over 3,000 people. The rapidity with which the ladder was placed in position and the walls of one of the highest buildings in town were scaled while rvater was thrown over the top of it, demonstrated to people of other places the effectiveness of the Plymouth fire department. During tbe day tbe noise made by tbe canes, firecrackers and pistols was equal to that of a continuous battle for about sixteen hours. . The ballon ascension just before 6 o'clock, was made by William Rish and was one of the finest ever seen in this city. The balloon rose majestically to tbe height of a thousand feet and sailed off south. ' Mr. Rish made the parachute drop when the balloon was at its greatest height and landed safely near Oak Hill cemetery. The display of . fireworks in the evening was grandly magnificent and was witnessed by an immense crowd from the city and surrounding country. The Plymouth, Kewanna and Maxinkuckee bands furnished excellent music and plenty of it daring the entire day and everybody went home pleased declaring that no other city could beat Plymouth in getting up a good celebration of the nation's anniversary. First Blood at St. Louis. A special from St. Louis says there was a great outburst of applause when John Sharp Williams mentioned the name of Grover Cleveland. Calls for Grover, Grover, drowned the voice of Williams and he was unable to proceed. 'Tim Sullivan, secretary of Tammany, tried to urge along tbe demonstration and got into a fight with the sergeantat arms. There was great tumult and disorder for several minutes but Sullivan .was finally ejected from the ball, and bis badge was stripped from his coat. Williams then proceeded with his speech and got the attention of the convention. At the close of Williams' speech the band played "Dixie" and the convention adjourned until 10 a. m. Thursday. Serious Accident Near Culver. During a charivari at the residence of J. D. Heiser, three miles, northwest or Culver Friday evening a gun in the hands of Roscoe Vorels exploded, blowing off Mr. Voreis' right thumb! Tbe butt of the gun struck Wm. Craig in the abdomen, penetrating the fiesh and causing a wound, which it is feared will be fatal. Fragments of the barrel struck tbe side of the neiser house, ripping off a screen door and damaging the siding. , ' Miniate Licenses. IrviDBixler Kose E. Deisch William D. Jordan Stella M.

BIG CREDIT COMPANY

COMMERCIAL CREDIT EXCHANGEINCORPORATED COMPANY. To Begin Business in Plymouth Local Firms Become Stockholders in the New Concern With Offices in the Kendall Block. System aids to bring delinquent debtors to justice. To aid and protect tbe debtor who is willing, but cannot pay his Indebtedness. To centralize and curtail and protect credits. To obtain and compile credit ratings on all persons, fircrs and corporations within its district. To protect the business public from being worked by schemers, grafters and local people in divers ways. The Commercial Credit exchange, having as Its object the establishment of a credit business by itself, is now in operation. Tbe company is incorporated for $200,000. A meeting of tne stockholders in this city was held Tuesday evening and tbe several boards selected embrace tbe representative business and professionel people who represent nearly every line of business in the city. The merits of the corporation were discussed in detail and all were highly pleased with the general objects of the corporation. The institutiOH begins business with the hearty support of most of the leading people of the city. PLACES BUSINESS ON CASH BASIS It is expected the exchange will revolutionize the credit business and at the same time cause credit to be a business by itself. It is tbe purpose of the system to effectually stop the professional deadbeats from living on the business of the community. The exchange will be a central office for all who are honest to obtain credit. Consequently no one will be compelled to ask each Individual, business and professional man for credit and tbe business community will be saved the embarrassment of refusing patrons credit. The business people will also gradually cease extending credit. The exchange will be the sole owner of all its stockholders' delinquent accounts thereby eliminating the necissity for delinquent debtors to shun or stay away from tne business or professional people they owe. Business houses doing a strictly cash business have invested in and become stockholders in tbe exchange. This investment was prompted through a generous feeling they have for a class of tlieir patrons who at times are compelled to ask credit, thereby providing for such patrons a place where they may be aided In cases of necessity. The capital stock of tbe exchange is divided into two classes preferred stock and common stock. Preferred stock Is paid up in cash. Common stocK is paid for in delinquent debt due to stockholders. The claims accepted in payments for common stock are received at their appraised value, which is fixed by a finance committee. BAD DEBTS AND COLLECTIONS. The exchange make it a rule not to demand of a debtor a justly disputed claim, thereby permitting no malice as all debtors and creditors may appear before the board of equity and make known all facts pertaining to a disputed claim, after which the board will decide upon its equity. The territory covered by the excharge will be divided into districts. An adjuster will be placed in charge of each of the various districts whose duty it will be to call on each debtor in his district, to collect money, adjust" claims pro vide for future payments and, wben desired by a debtor, make provisions so that all his debts may be consolidated into one debt and arrange so be can make small weekly or monthly payments until tbe whole amount is paid. Claims against the stubborn debtor and professional dead beat will be transferred to the bad debt department, where all available means will be used to compel the debtor to pay and if occasion demands tbe'debt will be advertised for sale. The exchange will compile and keep a credit record on everybody and inform the business and professional people in regard to everybody 'sei edit standing. It will also compile and deliver to the business community a delinquent debtor's list showing names, vocations and addresses of stubborn debtors who will not accept the good offers of the exchange. Additions and changes will be made In the list from time to time as occasion requires. Any debtor whose name appears on the list may redeem his credit and have his name canceled therefrom by making satisfactory settlement with the exchange. All debtors will be visited and offered easy settlement prior to placing their names on the list. The stockholders of the exchange will not extend credit to any party whose name appears on the delinquent list. Such parties will be compelled to make arrangements with the exchange for all accommodations , FRIEND OF OVERBURDENED DEBTORS. The exchange will show no favoritism. The honest in the most humble rates of life will receive the came fa

vors and courtesies as those in the most prominent, and tbe dishonest of all classes of society will be placed on the same level. All debtors should look upon tbe exchange as their friend and benefactor as its aim k not to oppress tbe unfortunate, but to help them and througn its adjusters it comes to all overburdened and discouraged debtors for a heart to heart talk and offers its friendly hand to help debtors out of debt and place them in the community with an honest reputation and further to provide for debtors a credit standing and provide a place where credit can b obtained incases of adversity. One of the by-laws of tbe exchange compels ail stockholders to delay action relative to scheme enterprises, scheme donations, scheme subscriptions, specialty and scheme ad.ertising, scheme trade discounts, trade gifts, subscribing for collecting systems and credit rating and reporting systems, until they are passed upon and favorably reported by the sanction board and a permit issued and signed by the local manager. The Editor ind the Courts. The freedom of the press to comment on and criticise the official conduct of judges' on the bench Is always involved in more or less doubt. Some editors are at times guilty of discussing pending cases, in a manner that clearly tends to prejudice the issues involved. Some judges are so greatly concerned with their personal dignity as to regard any discussion from a point of view that differs with their own as improper and deserving of punment for contempt, Nevertheless a satisfactory mean between the two extremes should not be difficult to establish, and the decision just handed down by United States Circuit Judge Pritchard in North Carolina will be helpful toward that end. Tne case before him was that of Editor Daniels of the Raleigh News and Observer, who had been fined $2,000 for contempt by District Judge Purnell, because the editor had ciiticised the court's action in regard to a railroad receivership. Judge Pritchard released tbe editor, and remarked in the course of his opinion: "If judges charged with the administration of the law are not to be criticised on account of their official conduct the liberty of the press is abridged and the rights of individuals imperiled." It will freely be admitted by the vast majority of editors that the fair administration of justice through the established mechanism of the courts is the great desideratum. Any comment that will tend to prejudice a pending cause is greatly to be avoided. However, after tbe decision is rendered the court and its acts become fair subjects for comment.

Judge Parker's Opinions. Tns Hearst people have flooded St. Louis with big cards reiding as follows: : JUDGE PARKER'S OPINIONS. : : The tariff. : : The trusts. : ; : imperialism. : : The currency. : : (See other slae.) : When the recipient of the cird had read these words in flaring black typ e he turn2d It over, in axordance wi h the injunction to "see other side," only to find oa the "other side" a blank. DECIDE YOURSELF The Opportunity Is Here. Backed by t Plymouth Icitimony, Don't take our word for it. Don't depend on a stranger's statement. Read Plymouth endorsement. Read the statements. of Plymouth citizens. And decide for yourself. Here is one case of it: F. W. Hill, of the firm of W. W. Hill & Son, groceries and bakery, residence, Michigan St., says: "Some time ago I arose one morning with pain In my back just across my loins. I bad been engaged at some hard work tbe day before and I attributed tbe aching to that. I thought It would go away of its own accord but it did not. ' As time pa&ed itx increased in place of lessened until it actually be came a positive annoyance. Reading. an advertisement one evening about Doan's Kidney Pills Induced me to go to J. W. Rinard's drug store for a box. A few doses relieved and before I had finished the treatment tbe aching had disappeared Up to da'.e there has not been a sign of a recurrence." For sale by all dealers.
