General Kouropatkin is preparing for a stubborn defense of Mukden This is stated ia official circles Id St. Petersburg. The strength of the Kassian army is reported to be7 200,000 men, and of these 50,000 are to be left in Mukden to stop the Japanese advance, while the rest push on to lie Pass as fast as the rains and the mud permit. Since the battle - of Liao-Yang Kouro-patkin has been reenforce 1 by many men and guns. Meanwhile tbe Japanese are pressing their advance on Port Arthur, ' ty.rking in the most cautious way to the point where a grand assault may be risked. 'Democratic leaders in Missouri are Wfexnuocing each other as liars and rascals, and the people are learning the truth. The democratic leaders say that Parker is not a machine but we think they will have bard work to prove tri at both Parker and Davis are anything but old junk. Why does Judge Parker declare that Cleveland's administration was a tinaucial success, when he ran the nation In debt 8272,000 which he borrowed at a high rate of interest durhis last four years as president? When Judge Parker comes to be inaugurated to the presidency he will be fully as old as the venerable octogenarian of West Virginia, while that gentleman, m the language of Mrs. Partington, will be even more than a centurion, Rumors drifting in from the eastward rather give the impression, now that Kuropatkin seems to have a fairly good road for retreating ; purposes, but what is puzzling thö Russians most is how to let go of Poi-fc Arthur so that it won't look too much that way. , . ..." The American farmer will remember on tbe 8th of November that it was the republican party which inaugurated and developed and perfected the present Rural Free Delivery System, after a democratic administration bad turned it down and refus ed even to test it. . Why does Judge Parker Imagine that democrats could handle the. national finances better than do the republicans, when the ledger of the country shows that -their last four years try at that big job resulted In adding S272.000.000 to our bonded debt, simply to pay ordinary running expenses? Russia's auxiliary cruiser Lena, which put Into the port of San Francisco last Sunday, presumablo from Vladivostok, will eitber have to leave tnat port within abrief time prescribed by this government or will have to dismantle That In brief, it can be stated on authority, is the decision of the American government. Charlev Druinmond was nominated by acclamation for state senator by the "democrats of St. Joseph county last Saturday. lie will have a hard row to hoe in making the campaign and at present there seems to be no possibility of his election: but if St. Joseph county bad to have a democratic senator we would prefer Mr. Drummond to any other democrat. All the states that hold elections prior to November Oregon, Vermont, Arkansas and Maine have new handed in their verdict. Oregon, Vermont, and Maine show substantial republican majorities, while Arkansas makes a similar showing for the democratic cause, though the majority for Governor JaEf. Davis in Arkansas is somewhat smaller thaa in former years. In concluding hi3 letter of accep. taue President Roosevelt says the progress made in tie past may be taken as a measure oi the progress we shall continue to make if the people continue to intrust the government to the republicans. He asks the democrats to say what they are going to do different rom what republicans have done if they should get Into power. - President Roose relt's letter of acceptance is made public. He rests bis case with the tuters on the achleyements of his party In the vital affairs of the nation war, finance tariff, Insalar administration, regulation of trusts, foreign relations and the lsthmiau canal holding that progress and eScxency have made for the country's best interests. The democratic party 13 charged with vacillation and laclr of convictions, end itt succeed, it U till, trould ti harnful.

" TheVarsaw Dally Union' made its bow and entered the. newspaper field Tuesday, Sept. 6. It is a neat well edited paper and its advertising columns indicate that, it Is well received by the business men oi Warsaw..

Reports from Esopus say Parker sat at the head of the taole at the banquet Thursday and gave the editors an outline of his views for the campaign of 1904. We see no mention of our Indiana editors having anything to say The most encouraging feature of the Vermonfelectlon is the apparent apathy of the democrats. They seem to take no stock in Parker or his semirepublican platform. The .returns show that while the republicans held their own many democrats refused to vote. Ia 1896 tue democratic party adopted a populist platform; this year it has adopted a republican platform; and In 1908 it may decide to try the prohibition platform. After trying all It will be In position to. make an intelligent choice of a platform for the remainder of its existence. A change in county affairs would mean a victory for the people regardless of political views. Democrats of honest convictions readily concede that a change would be beneficial. In this and other parts of the county are many taxpayers who object to paying tbe present high rate of taxation. Democratic leaders of the East make little effort to disguise the fact that their campaign for the presidency is in a bad way. Trustworthy information from New York is that the managers of Judge Parker's interests ar ) in a sort of mess. They have neither personal harmony nor agreement as to the lines upon which the campaign should be conducted. A Connecticut democrat who will vote for Tom Watson gives his main reason as follows: 'I agree with a statement made in my bearing a Tew days ago that David B. Hill can dive deeper, stay under longer and come up blacker than any other man Identified with American politics. I am opposed to Mr. Parker on account of the friends he has made." The test s one of the most ancient and best. "The true welfare of the nation Is iadissolubly bound up with the welfare of the farmer and tbe wage-worker of the man who tills tbe soil, and of the mechanic, the handicraftsman, the laborer. If we can insure the prosperity of these two classes we need not trouble ourselves (about tbe prosperity of the rest, forthat will follow as a matter of course." VicePresident Roosevelt at opening of PanAmerican Exposition, May 20, 1901. Judge Parker told tbe democratic editors at Esopus, Thursday in language plain and terse, that they must defend Cleveland's administrations. He eulogized Clevelaad unequivocally and said he would gladly compare his administrations with tbe administrations ,of Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt. When democrats vote for Parker inNoyember he wishes them to understand that they are voting for a second Cleveland so far as he has the ability to follow in Cleveland's footSteps. ' Former Gov. Hogg, of Texas, is openly opposed to Judge Parker. In a Labor Day address to 10,000 listeners he freely criticised the course of tne democratic candidate for president in not making his views known before his nomination took place, and in the next breath he complimented President Roosevelt for the determined stand he has taken against trusts and for bis efficient work in breaking up the Infamous railroad merger in the northwest. Louis Ludlow in - the Indianapolis Star says: MEverj campaign must have an issue, and In the Indiana campaign this year the prime Issue will be the personality of the presidential candidates. The democrats are forcing this issue to the front and the republicans are willing to accept the challenge and fight it out on that line. Of course they are and it is really funny that while democrats are abusing Roosevelt and callingbim a dangerous man the people believe that any man elected as a democrat would be dangerous. Their reasons for this belief are based on experience. The Chicago Tribune utters this timely warning against over-confidence, "But too much reliance must not be placed on what may have been a series of coincidences. The fact that Vermont has gone republican ;by 32,000 does not certainly forecast the result in November, but merely Indicates the present drift of sentiment along the northeastern seaboard and in up state New York. And It were an error to assume that the political Impulses which direct that section of the country will neccscarily have influence in this section of the country, or in states farther west. Indeed, it is vrcll known that the cams issue, or personality, which attract voters in th3 c-t cf t:n rcpsb t:m la t-3 rest, end vice vers."

MAINE GOES REPUBLICAN

Pine Tree Statt Rolls Up 31,000 the Largest Majority ever Uiven Before 1896. There was a vsry large vote cast In Maine Monday, both sides making gains oyer the vote of 1896 and" 1900. The republican majority Is about 3),000, whch is the largest republican majority ever given in a prseidential year previous to 1896. In 1884 Blaine, the favorite son of Maine, had a plurality of only 19,799 The republican plurality was 19,053 in 1888 aod in 1892 it dropped to 11,931. M my Eastern democrats would not vote fur Bryan and they remained at home or voted tbe republican ticket consequently the republican majority in 1900 was 34, 132. V Democrats express satisfaction with the result because tbey increased their vote, which seems to indicate that Parker is stronger in tbe east than Bryan was. Republicans are elated because they did not expect a majority of more than 20,000. County Commissioners'. Work The September meeting of the board of commissioners was called to order Monday, Sept. 5.
