One week ago the democrats of Missouri nominated the prosecuting attorney of St. Louis for governor of the state. We suppose we ought to apclgize for making this statement, as the Independent-Democrat of this city will no doubt declare that such a statement is abusejmd . vilification of all the candidates on the democratic ticket of Marshall county. The very mention of the nomination of an honest, competent democrat for office affects Metsker like flaunting a rea sbawl in front of a bull, and be threatens to attack the private character or all republican candidates'. . Still the fact remains that the democrats of Missouri have nominated a prosecuting attorney for governor, and by everybody, except such men as the editor of the Independent-Democrat X)f this city, it is considered the best nomination the democrats of Missouri ever made. We make this statement to emphasize the fact that all over the United States the very best lawyers are being selected lor prosecuting attorneys. This is as it ought to be and no sensible democrat will accuse us of villifying democrats when we say so. The Independent-Democrat or this city virtually declared last week that there were no honest competent candidates on the democratic ticket in this county. We do not believe a word of such stuff, wbile we do cot think that the democratic ticket will 'quite measure up to the republican ticket there are good men on that ticket, and because we advocate the nomination of one of the best lawyers in the district for Domination on the republican ticket we do not believe those men will think we are abusing them. From republicans and democrats alike come words of commendation in favor of having a good lawyer for prosecuting attorney and it Is evident that if such a lawyer will take the place, he can be elected by an overwhelming majority, for democrats ana republicans of Marshall countyare just as sensible as the voters of Missouri or the voters of scores of counties in Indiana who choose their best lawyers to do the business of the state. Of course the Rockefellers and James J. Hill will support Judge Parker. Wby shouldn't tbey? If it were to be done over again, could Parker secure a delegation from Indiana? Kot by a good deal. Mr. Bryan says he is a true democrat. He will vote for Parked bit will oppose the nomination of gold bug and the way it was brought about. The democrats demand a prosecutlon of the nnlawful trusts, and show tow to do it by pointing to the trail already blazed by a republican attorney general, under a republican administration. In addition to making,7 him chairman of the national committee, the ardent and enthusiastic friends of Tom Taggart propose to nominate him for governor next week. Tom is surely '-In it" this year. , Down with the trusts is the democrats' war cry. Then tbey choos; for commanders of the anti-trust hosts men who are the head and front of the monopoly interests of the country. More consistency, and more deception. Roosevelt and Fairbanks together constitute what agricultural journals term a well balanced ration or ticket. Unlike in many ways, the two men are in perfect accord on all the great political questions which are likely to come up for solution during ehe next presidential term. The mayor of Memphis, Tenn., is carrying his reform tactics under the epur of a citizens movement to, the extreme limit. He propcdes to stop z tnndscf gambling from the public trd prlTite pc-cf room3 to the procrzzzlvz pc-ro end euchre; parties in

''It looks cow" as if the Chicago strike would be long and productive of much trouble, workmen of the allied trades having joined the movement and all negotiations looking to a settlement - . - having apparently been brotcen off. Harry S. New, of Indianapolis, has been chosen one of three gentleman to conduct the national republican campaign. His associates are ex-Governor Crane, of Massachusetts, and Governor Franklin Murphy, of New Jersey. Bryan predicted that a campaign with Parker as the candidate would begin with a foot race and end with a rout." The country feels the same way and refuses to be alarmed over prospects of a change of administrations.

The New Albany Press say twenty thousand gold bugs will be in line for Parker and Davis in Indiana in November. That may be so. but the Press forgets to mention the number of silver democrats that will not be in line with the gold bugs. . Democratic leaders announce that they Intend to discard political sentiment and raise all the money posible for the.campaign. Instead of wire-pulling it is said to be a case of leg-pulling. Major Carter Harrison of Chicago, tells them in alvance, however, that be will not allow his leg pulled. The Indiana silver republicans who acted with the democratic party in the last two presidential campaigns will not support the ticket nominated at St. Louis. Dr. F. J. Van Vorhis says what action tbey will take has not been outlined any further than to declare that they will not vote for Parker and Davis. According to reports Mrs. Florence May brick, recently released from a British prison, is living in seclusion with her mother in the historic old town of Rouen, France. She absolutely refuses to be Interviewed, does not go out in public, not even in a closed carriage and will not be seen by callers. This is the proper way for her to conduct herself and hoped she will not depart from It. The Elkhart Review says the ladies who had charge of "Tag Day" Inttnat city for the benefit of Clark hospital, have learned how exacting the public is and have had new evidences of the ingratitude of many people who are recipients of favors, Persons in public life, whether political or social, soon learn this and must steel their hearts against it if they ..would find any joy in their work. v Some time ago there were intimations that a shortage existed in the funds of the Russian Red Cross Society, but the matter was evidently hushed up. Now, it seems, the loss amounts to millions of roubles. As this society is a branch of the govern ment, the defalcation goes to confirm the statement made every now and then by critics of Russia, that the corruption is appalling and affects every department. A Chicago dispatch of the 19th states: "Weary of turmoil and hard ship encountered while struggling for a living in the face pf strikes and lockouts, 42 '(families of the strikers left Chicago Friday to return to Aus-tlra-Hungary. There they will receive less pay, they say, but their employment will be more steady and ' bereft of peril." The strike bosses of Chicago have made life a burden for wageworkers who aim to make an honest living by doing an honest day's work. Under the tyrannical system now in vogue no wage-worker , is enabled to make any sort of calculation as to his future and tbe support o! his family. No matter how well satisfied he may oe with bis position, he Is liable to be The idea tnat democratic success in Indiana is wholly or even largely dependent on the choice of Thomas Taggart to be chairman of che national committee is not a little amusing. The success of a great party in a great state Is iarely, if ever, dependent on the fortunes of any one man. And Mr. Taggart is not so supreme in democratic councils as to mike his elevation to tbe head of tbe national committee a guaranty of victory, or his defeat a sure forerunner of disaster. If democrats carry Indiana it will be cause . the people have lost confidence In President Roosevelt and the evidence now Is all In the opposite direction, consequently Indiana may ts counted cn for a large republican majority.

A ENSDLE VIEW. -' I .v V. Strauss, through 'the RockTllle',' Indiana ' Tribune, comments very sensibly oh the subject of newspapers, and surely she Is coirect in her view of the fact that country people and. those resident of 'the smaller towns and villages very fully appreciate the old family county newspaper, and on this point she expresses herself In this wise: "Surely our farmers and their families the better class of people in country towns still appreciate a family newspaper of stable qualities a paper with something worth reading in it. The lamentable phase of journalism today is the fact that no one can go through a long exchange list in a newspaper o31ce and find In a dead waste of type scarcely a single thing worth reading The war cry of the modern paper Is, We give you the news! But pause a moment and see if it is merely the news that one wants when be picks up a daily or weekly paper. "Is it not rather tne comment upon the news that he cares for and Is this not exactly the thing that the crude, new "hustling" newspaper man cannot give? A good editorial page in which events and afialrs are commented upon with rea -on and intelligence, a fair digest of the news, a complement of good contributions and a fair selection of general reading, isth1s not what we should demand of a paper which comes daily or weekly Into our housebold? Think of this, good people, in subscribing for a paper, and choose one that in addition to the news, gives you a thought occasionally an example of careful- and correct expression, of judicious and conscientious presentation of what is worth knowing." 1 V. J. Bryan announces that he will not speak at tbe democratic demonstration Aug. 20 at Riverview Park, near Chicago, and tbat the only political speeches which he has planned thus far to deliver will heard In Missouri. The South Bend Times having failed to make William J. Bryan have tbe country is now urging him to take the stump for Roosevelt. The Parker men who are now belittling Bryan will be begging for his assistance before the campaign closes. Tbe democratic candidate for president seems to be meeting with bad luck on every band. Carl Schurz has now declared for Parker and democrats are very unhappy for Schurz Is regardeel as a political "hoo doo." He is as gabby as Bryan and when be gets agoing he can't be choked off. Eastern democrats could not prevail on Gorman to take the chairmanship of the democratic party 'and Thomas Taggart bein the only man that wanted it, he was chosen to direct a campaign which all tbe democratic leaders believe will result in tbe most overwhelming defeat the democrats have ever experienced. Mayor Harrison says the old days of levies on gambling houses, pool rooms and disorderly houses In Chicago are gone and be can raise no money for the democratic national committee; and so far as tbe city hall is concerned there is a very strong clause against assessments for campaign purposes and tbe law will be enforced. The coroner 's jury that investigated the Glenwood railway disaster returned a verdict holding the dispatcher and the entire crew of the freight train responsible and censuring tbe Chicago and Eastern Illinois for using old coaches and overworking its men. The accused men were tal'.en to jail, except Engineer Hoxey, who is missing. The announcement that W. tF. Armstrong, of Kokomo, who has been one of tbe democratic leaders of Howard county for a quarter of a century, will support the republican ticket this fall, has occasioned much comment. Mr. Armstrong has been exceedingly well treated by tbe democratic party, and if he has decided to leave it his conviction must be strong that it is tbe only course he can consistently and honestly pursue.

The Russian army has retreated to

Hal-Cheng, . following tbe defeat at Tatchekiao. -where tbe fighting is re ported to have been very fierce. Kouropatkin reports a move by the Japa nese to cut off his connection to the north, and tbe opinion is gaining ground in St. Petersburg that he will fall back to Mukden. A report says General Samsonoff was severely wounded at Tatchekiao. The Japanese advance is reported from several quarters. The. Plymouth Democrat last week said that the proprietor of the Tribune had been a resident of this city only a few years and should not say anything about old citizens. Metsker was evidently thinking of himself The proprietor of the Tribune was bom in Plymouth and has lived here more years than Metsker would have to live to be as old as the democratic candidate for vice-president. Biggest Oil Well in State. Delaware county now boasts the largest oil well in tbe state the figures of the gaugers beiDg the authority for tbe statement. The well is the property of the Commonwealth Jewel company, and Is on tbe Bond farm, northeast of Selma The well mt$ been pumping six days, and is produe log 38 barrels an hour. More of the product could be. pumped from the well if the tankage would permit, Congressman Fights Snake. Although Congressman Frederick Land is 's ability as a political fighter is undisputed, he was forced to admit defeat in a fight with a snake at Maxinkuckee Friday. Landis stepped out of the door of the cottage where be is spending the summer, and his gaze was frozen by the sight of a large rattlesnake. After securing a cudgel be fought for almost five minutes and finally retired, allowing the snake to escape. A large number of people were drawn to the scene seeing the lanky congressman engaged in a duel with tbe deadly rattlesnake. Bryan's Real Position. Bryan is now before tbe public In his real position. His Commoner has announced hfs program for reorganizing the democratic party. It is so out of harmony with the present purposes and its principles that he cannot be a very able advocate of the candidate or platform this year. He pronounces in favor of state ownership of railroads. He also declares in favor cf an income tax. But the silliest thin be says is that "economic reform must come through the democratic party.'? When any reform that is not revolution comes through that party Mr. Bryan will have been so long dead that he will be forgotten. Elkhart Review.A Candidate's Scheme. Women run for office occasionally in Australia, and one who was a candidate for the senate in one oi the states recently had to travel a good deal In order to reach the electors. As she bad no money she charged a small fee for admission to her meetings, and it speaks well for tbe quality of her oratory and for her general attractiveness that she bad croweded houses. She told her audience plainly that she was obliged to make a charge in order to pay her way. and if there was any balance she would hand it to the charities. She was not elected to tbe office she sought, but she set an example that even men, not only in Australia, bat in other countries, who are ambitious for office and are impecunious may think It wise to folkw. Here in America W. J. Bryan has made a fortune while running for office. Asa candidate for president be has made five times as much money as men made who were elected. Mr. Goodwin On Prohibition. No man in Indiana is a more consistent advocate of temperance than the Rev. Thomas A: Goodwin of Indianapolis. Mr. Goodwin is a believer In the legal prohibition of the liquor traffic; but holds that such laws should be brought about as a result of a prevailing public sentiment and not as a party movement to be overthrown by the opposition party whecever it comes Into power. He is not a member of the prohibition party, and objects to Its theory. This veteran temperance worker holds that It is the part of wisdom to use every possible ' means to create a popular sentiment in favor of individual abstinence and against the existence of saloons, and as such sentiment strengthens and crystalizes, to accept such restrictive laws In accordance with it as can be obtained, working always for something still better until prohibition comes as an inevitable result. 'In a tiny pamphlet ,'ust issued, Mr. Goodwin reviews the Indiana prohibition law of 1855, and shows why it failed He sounds a note of warning to the people of the state to stand guard i against the enemies of the Nicholses law. Acc2j thecs enemies hecounU the prohibition par-

. The Prohibitory. Uw of 1855 , . The Rev. T. A. Goodwin, of Indianapolis, who, in spite of bis age, still belongs to the church militant, has just published a small pamphlet, giving an account of tbe agitation which resulted in the passage of the prohibitory liquor law of 1855. As one of the last that survive of those who took part in tbe -campaign of fifty years ago Dr., Goodwin has in his possession some historic facts relating to that law, how it worked, and what came of the law, all which are of interest to all who are taking part in observing the struggle to maintain or repeal the present liquor law. Dr. Goodwin will be pleased to give any one that asks a copy of the pamphlet: or he will mail it free to any one in Indiana writing for it that inclines postage (1 cent).

In Marshall County 65 Years. Sixtv-elght years ago, July 26. 1836, W. D. Thompson of this city, known throughout the county as Dickson Thompson, arrived in this county with his parents and settled near Maxinkuckee lake. . He has been a resident of the county ever since and every year he spends the 26th of July on tbe ground where be first settled in MarShall county. Ot those who came to the county In 1836 with the McDonalds. Thompsons, Dicksons, Hultz and Vöries, from Favette county, Indiana, only a few now survive. These old settlers were among the best the county ever had and :many of them and their descendants have been prominent in county affairs. Saved By Her White Hair... Mrs. Mary Lang Johnson was formerly a teacher in the schools of Elkhart, but she has been in Korea for several years with her brothers, who are engaged in mining near Gensan. With the beginning of hostilities Mrs. Johnson and friends of her sex were ordered to Chemulpo, there to take the cruiser Cincinnati for another port. The trip to a friendly port was beset with many difficulties. Mrs. Johnson, enroute, attempted to take a picture of the f ortified terrace at Modji, a beautiful city, and she was arrested by the Japanese as a spy. She has a crown of snowy white hair, out of keeping with her years, and the Danish captain of tbe little vessel which was to take the refugees away, knowing the reverence which the Koreans and Japanese entertain for age, talked long and exaggeratedly of her years, extending them to a hundred, and finally secured her release. Where Two Men Sat Down. It is reported on. the authority of a correspondent of The New Xork Times that when Henry Gassaway Davis departed from hospitable Rosemont and toe up. his itinerary, with the West Virginia mountains as tbe objective point, he was accompanied totbeEsopus Station by Alton Brooks Parker, only to find tbe train was late and that hour of sweet converse remained to them. Of course it was utilized, and up and down the platform strode the two distinguished gentlemen, discoursing, the one to the other, of the crops, the honey bees, white clover and the delights of farm life, the troubles incident to the raising of turnips and to the ownership of vast coal mines. But Mr. Davis is no longer young, and Mere came a time in the striding w,ben keg of nails caught his eye, and his manly form, while Judge Parker sat down beside him on a box of bolts and the sweet converse continued until the cars came tooting 'round the bend, and good-bys were spoken until the wind-up and the election of Roosevelt. If it had been a keg of tacks on which Judge Parker planted himself there might have been suspicion that tbe hand of an enemy had placed it there, and delayed the train in the knowledge that the Judge would sit down, but whether on a keg of nails or a box of bolts, the significance is tbe same. The incident is not without its useful lesson. Comipg events cast their shadows before, and a whole box full of bolts from the blue are undoubtedly being made ready to be launched at the head ot the distinguished gentlemen selected at St. Louis for the purpose of leading a forlorn hope, and going through the motions of reaching for the electoral vote, and falling In the reach. What hand of destiny there was in leading the two gentlemen to the keg of nails and the box of bolts, when the fence was handy and more appropriate for democratic nominees only the future can tell. But it may be said to be In the nature of the first straw vote. The first symptom, so to speak, of the coming of the bolt of the Bryanltes of the West because of the nail in the coffin of democracy and Its candidates, driven In deep by the hand of Grover Cleveland a gentleman far more enraging to a Bryanite than the reddest of red rags waved in ttie face of an angry bull In the sweet feeding pastures of Judge Parker.
