Plymouth, Ind., August 4. 1904la spite of tbe gerrymander a republican gain of four or five ongressional seats is indicated In Missouri. Even wltn this addition, the republicans will get less than their rightful ratio. The oal production of 1903 was the largest ever known in the United States and was 19 per cent, greater than that of 1902, yet the price of coal was 38 per cent, higher. It does not require a great mathematician to see that the price of coal is too high. This is the first time since the civil war that tbe name of a veteran of that war fails to appear on either presidential ticket. Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Fairbanks and Judcje Parker are too young to have been soldiers then. Mr. Dayis was 33 when the conflict began, but he took no part in it. The democracy of 1896 aud 1900 was at least sincere in its badness. Tbe democratic party of 1604 Is not honest in anything and seeks to cover its frailly under the cloak of a dead-bead telegram from its presidential candi date, sent at the dictation of a New York financial syndicate. Goshen News-Times. Robert E. Pattison, ex-governor of Pennsylvania, died of pneumonia at his home In Philadelphia Monday morning. It Is said that overwork at the St. Louis democratic convention, where he was very active in securing the nomination of Parker, caused his death- He was 54 years old and had been prominently mentioned as a presidential candidate but declined the nomination. For the past three years the calamity cry of the democratic press has been "the trusts, the trusts." Now that the party has nominated the bead of the coal trust, with his forty millions of dollars for campaign funds, all that the same writers have to say of their candidate for the vice presidency is that with him and John D. Rockefeller, bead of the Standard Oil trust, and Wall Street to the back of their piesidential candidate, there will be no lack of democratic campaign boodle. Republicans have as good a prospect of carrying Missouri, Kentucky and North Carolina as democrats have to carry New York, New Jersey and "West Virginia. Many prominent politicians believe that the electoral vote or North Carolina will be cast for Roosevelt and if Missouri is saved for Parker it will be because of the popularity of Folk, the democratic candidates for governor, in the rural districts. On a square Issue between Roosevelt and Parker in Missouri Roosevelt would carry the state by a large majority. Many democratic papers cf the state, and notably ' the Indianapolis Sentinel, are gloating over the recent defeat of Captain Will E. English In the republican legislative convention. The least durturbed person in Marion county over the outcome of that convention is Captain -English himself, and while the democrats are extracta good deal of pleasure out of it now. they will find ere the campaign is over that the incident has only served to strengthen t je captain's mettle. With bis health restored and old-time love of a political mixup renewed, , Will English will cut a larger figure , than ever In Indiana politics. Indianapolis Independent.

Soünds of cooperage in West Vir

ginia come from the tightening of the bung by Unk Hank Gassa way Davis. Judge Parker Is a powerful and ex pert swimmer, but he is diving from the wrong platform. A considerable portion of the po litical brains of both parties is gathered at Indianapolis this week, but it will not equal tbe brains left at home. Tom Taggart 's early life was spent in a restaurant; therefore it is be lieved by democrats that be will be a very good hand at the political pie counter. A writer in Leslie's Weekly pro duces figures showing that only China and Russia excead the United States In population. But when it comes to wealth this . country occupies first place. The New York Evening I'ost, which thinks Judge Parker is only less than an angel of light, regards Mr. Tag gart as a man wholly without convic tions and thoroughly unscrupulous in his political methods. How It expects the candidate to submit to the politi cal schemes of bis wicked manager and accept their results is not explained. The gold democrats were in control of tbe democratic state convention at Indianapolis, but they told their free silver brethren that they would not ask for a gold plank in the platform nor say anything about the telegram, but would simply call Judge Parker the platform, and not request any places on the state ticket. These fel lows know how to use "soft soap." For the year ending with June the immigration reports show that a total of 815,361 came to this country from abroad for residence. This is 42,000 less than in the same period in the previous year. And this not with standing the cut rate war waged by the trans-Atlantic steamship companies, when the price for steerage pas sage was reduced to about eight flol lars. An unmistakable drift in favor of the nomination of John W. Kern for governor on the democratic ticket set in last Friday and It soon became ev Ident that he could have the nomination if he wanted it, but he bad said all-a-long that he did not want it. Democratic leaders, however, said that .Kern bad assured Parker and Hill that Indiana could be carried for the democratic ticket and he ought to be willing to prove his faith by accept ing tbe nomination. It looks very much as if the packers were getting the best of the big strike in Chicago. They aver that they are rapidly filling places of Strikers with non-union men and union men who are willing to go to work without union sanction. jThere are' many features of the strike which union men generally do not approve, hence the lack of usual excitement in such cases aud the lack of strength in the stride. It appears that the strikers were deceived and ill-advised on tbe start, and that is che reason of tbe practical failure of the effort. The Sou'.h Bend Times wants Keilison to run for congress on the demo cratic ticket. The . Times says Charley has recently been at , Mt. Clemens, Mich., where he underwent a thorough physical renovation. He is in first-class condition mentally and physically, and if he could be persuaded to make the race, a lively campaign would be assured in this district. He is .a good speaker, an indefatigable worker, and an experienced campaign er." We think we can assure the Times that Mr. Kelllson will not be a candidate. He has won all . the fame that he wishes at the expense of running for congress when there is no hope of his election. '

Kouropatkin's main army, according to a high authority in St. Petersburg, is in flight to Mukden from Liao-Yang and Hai-Cheng. All eastbound troops are said to have been stopped in Harbin and the . trains rushed to the south to rescua the'imperiled Russian forces. The Japanese advanced from three sides and battles at five difierent points, some of them lasting three days, are reported, with no indieitiea as to the final results. It is believed in St. Petersburg that Kouropitkin'to leaving encjh men to guard the cutxlrt3 cf his petitions, so that th3 Japmeco, when tey break tiircua the line, vrill find it an empty Cizil.

Thousands of west ern democrats feel that "soft soap us" Is nearer tbe truth if not the pronounelation. Indianapolis Independent. " The negro evangelist who assured her Indianapolis hearers on Sunday that blacks were as good as whites in :he eyes of God was undoubtedly right, but some members of her race do not haye to wait to go to heaven before enjoying equality. The color line, for example, was not drawn at the recent woman's congress in Tier lin. A Mrs. Terrell, formerly presi dent of the National Association of of Colored Women, spoke twice before the congress and delivered one ad dress In French, the other in German, which was more than most Of the American delegates could do. She was Included in all the social features of tbr; gathering and received much attention from the foreign delegates and ladies of Berlin. Taggart and Ben Hadad. Fresh from his victory Thomas Tag gart tells the New York World of all the great things he is going to do. He has studied the situation and is sure Parker can be elected. It is going to be 'no child's play to defeat President Roosevelt," but It can be done, and be Is going to do It. He says if the Eastern men will do what they promise he "will get the West." All of which has tbe old familiar Taggart ring of claiming everything, But perhaps this boastful proclamation Is designed to be an appeal rather than a pledge or promise. What the new chairman aims at is to inspire confidence in the rank and file of the party, to make them realize as they have not done for eight years that there really Is something worth fighting for. So regarded there maybe some merit in this tall talk." It may serve to put ginger" Into the democratic host, and that is something which it very greatly needs. But all the same, it seems to us that the only thing Mr. Taggart can guarantee is an honest and earnest endeavor to "get the West." There was a man who lived a long time ago who showed something of the spirit of the new democratic leader. His name was Benba-dad, and he made war on Israel. He sent word to Israel's king, saying: Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also, and thy children, even the goodliest are mine. ' ' When the king refused to comply wholly with, the demands Ben-hadad said: - "The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me." .Then the king answered with a wisdom that ought to commend his words to every man going into a light: Tell him, Let not him that glrdeth on his harness boast himself a he that putteth It off. Ben-badad's hosts suffered a crushing defeat, and bis servants said when they next spoke. Behold, now, we have heard that the kings of the House of Israel are merciful kings; let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the King,of Israel; and peradventure he wiilsave thy life." And bis life was spared. Decidedly it Is too early for boasting. It will be time enough when Mr,, Taggart puts off h& harness." Indianapolis News. ii .

1 ' Notification of PairbanXs, On Wednesday, Aug. 3, there will

be a large and Important gathering at Indianapolis for the notification of Senator Fairbanks at bis home of his nomination for the vice-presidency on the republican ticket. The notifica tion ceremony will be at the Fairbanks residence, in North Meridian street. The lawns will be decorated and a tent erected for the speakers. Members of the state republican committee, Indiana republiaan congressmen and candidates on the republican state ticket will be guests of honor. Elihu Root, of New York,-temporary chairman of the recent republican convention at Chicago, will head the delegation of distinguished men who will compose the committee for the notification, and will make the notification speech. It is expected that at least twenty-five republicans of national prominence will come to Indianapolis for the notification. As Senator Fairbanks' speech of accep tance will be one of the keynotes for the republican party for the coming campaign, it will be of the greatest intereit. The speech has been pre pared since the conference the senator bad wlih President Roosevelt at Oy ster Bay, wnen both speeches of ac ceptance were gone over carefully. On tbe same day will take place tbe democratic state convention and tbe meetings of the republican and democratic state committees. " Ungoverned Boyhood. Four boys, tbe oldest 19 and the youngest 16 have been arrested in Chicago, charged with burglary as a profession and confessing to the charge and turning up goods of the value of thousands of dollars. In addition to burglaries innumerable, the boys have confessed to tbe commission of two murders, he police are inclined to believe the confession. Goods have been identified as belonging to a particular store whose proprietor a small shopkeeper was found murdered behind his counter where his cot was located. The bovs are something on the order of tbe four car barn murderers, and frankly state that the career of tbe famous four was the main incentive to their own careers. Chicago will deal with them promptly. Tbe boys jn this instance are native born and children of American parents In comparatively comfortable circumstances, able to give their children the comforts of home, but who preferred, it seems, to allow their children the fascinating discomforts of the streets and the education so easily acquired on the nignt side of a big city. Therein is tbe solution of the Chicago car barn murders and of the burglaries and the murders committed by the latest juvenile quartet. H, 0. Thayer Convalescent Right Eminent Henry G. Thayer, Past Grand Commander of Knights Templar in Indiana, has been quite seriously ill for several weeks past, dating back to the last annual - Conclave of the Grand Comcnandery, which he attended, although greatly overtasking his strength at that time. He wrote and presented tbe memorial, as chairman of the Committee on Distinguished Dead in other Jurisdictions," one of the best necroiogical papers ever read in the Grand, Commander. On returning home he soon became confined to his room and under the doctor's care, but with his native strength and strong will powerhe has remained much the same, and our latest information is that be appears somewhat better. This will be good news to his host of friends throughout the state, who will join with the writer, his intimate friend for nearly half a century, in a message of love and sympathy, coupled with the hope that he may soon regain his wonted good health, and be once more among them tbe earnest worker in all their efforts to promote tbe best interests of Masonry and the good of mankind.

MORTUARY

Lot Dickson. Lot Dickson, second son of the late Hugh B. Dickson, died of typhoid fever in Providence hospital at Sandusky, Ohio, on Friday, July 30, 1904, after a short illness. The deceased was born on the old Dickson homestead in Marshall county near Rutland, June 18, 1849. He came with his parents, Hugh B. and Lettitia Dickson, to Plymouth about 1852, where he grew to manhood, receiving his education here and starting in business as a helper in his father's hardware store. Later he was employed in various capacities as trainman on the Fort Wayne & Chicago railroad, reaching by regular promotion the position of passenger conductor which he held for many years with entire satisfaction to the company. For some time he was assistant station master at Chicago, and the past two or three years had been employed in other business. He was in Plymouth early this spring introducing a fire extinguisher of which he disposed of a large number. He was a man of excellent habits of life, a most congenial gentleman, industrious, honest, upright in all his business relations, and a man whose presence was a benediction to all those with whom he associated. He was married to Miss Annetta E. Coffy in September 1869, who he leaves surviving him, and one daughter, Ethel, who resides with her husband Joseph Sainter, in Philadelphia, also his mother, Mrs. Lettitia Dickson, a sister, Mrs. Lulu Goode, and a brother, Nathan Dickson, all of Indianapolis. His funeral was held at the residence of Mr. Lorie Capron Monday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Howard of the Episcopal church officiating, the remains being interred in Oak Hill cemetery. There were present at the funeral from out of town, Mrs. Dickson, Mrs. Goode and A. B. Coffy of Indianapolis; Mr. and Mrs. Irvin and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Walton, of Chicago, Dr. and Mrs. Eggleston of Warsaw, and Jeff Hamlet of Fort Wayne. Jesse Martindale. Jesse Martindale, who resided for many years near Richland Center a few miles west of Tiosa, died at Rochester Sunday morning aged 70 years. His death was caused by heart disease from which he had suffered for several years. He was well known throughout the southwestern part of Marshall county as an up-right conscientious citizen. He was, we believe, the eldest brother of E. C. Martindale of this city. He leaves a widow and three children. The funeral was held at Richland Center at 11:00 a. m. Tuesday.

'J.:: A Mississippi Ship Canal. ' It is interesting to hear that the engineers working under the direction

of the Mississippi river commission are now engaged on the stretch between the mouth of tbe Illinois river and St. Louis , Their plans look to a permanent depth of 14 feet between St. Louis and Alton, to be secured by building a large dam at Alton and a canal twenty miles long and 160 feet wide across the American bottoms, A lock 600 feet long, with a lift of 27 feet, is projected near St. .Louis. This Improvement would admit large lake vessels. It seems quite propable that a ship channel between St. Louis and Lake Michigan, by way of the Illinois river, will be one of the earliest of the large achievements In improving tbe Mississippi. The development of the great river on this scale is entirely feasible. No grave difficulties have been found by the engineers, and those who have investigated the matter are. equal to any in their profession, The only problem is that of providing the money, and that will solve itself in this country of growing wealth and vast commerce. Converting tbe Illinois river into a link of the great waterway could be accomplished in a comparatively few years. Improvement of the Mississippi is beginning to appear as a plank in political platforms, and the idea will be supported by ail parties. It is continental in importance and touches the large utilities of the isthmian canal. The issue of a deep channel in the Mississippi will go on looming up. St. .Louis Globe Democrat.
