Chairman Tagnart says democrats of Indiana are in a fighting mood. Taggart evidently has little faith in the hartnoflv statements. In his latest .speech, Judge Parker pants to Cleveland's administration zb an admirable model. How does that strike Marshall county democrats? Judge Parker is perfectly safe 10 declaring for one term. Experience has taught the American people that one democratic administration is all they can ever afford. Thomas E. Watson, populist candidate for president, in opening the populist campaign In Kentucky .at Paducah, declared Parker was really a republican in a democratic skin. Walter Wellman writes that the democratic leaders coDcede the lead to Roosevelt in the campaign at the present time. An analysis of the doubtful states gives the advantage to the repuolicam. Robert 1 real Paine, Jr., twice democratic candidate for Governor of Massachusetts, announces that he will vote for President Roosevelt. He is dissatisfied with the democratic attitude on the negro question and admires the President. Ilenry G. Davis complains that the expense of maintaining the federal government is constantly increasing. H? fails to understand why it should cost more to keep a family of 80,000,000 than it did the family of 30,000,tbat Uncle Sam had when Mr. Davis was a boy. Acting on the advice of his military advisers, Emperor Nicholas has decided to form a second Manchurian army. It will be formed of the corps which are being sent to the far East and Lieutenant-General L!nevitcb probably will take command of the second army. General Kuropatkin will beome chief of both armies, but probably without the title of commander-in-chief. . National Chairman Taggart brought no money to Indiana. He brought only a conditional promise. In his euphemistic way he broke the news to the democratic - leaders that the only way to get a campaign fund is to hustle and build up a bona fide organization. In his speech to them he said: ."If there are sat'.siactory e idences of a first-clas organization no d jubt Indiana will have all of the funds needed," Parker's letter of acceptance which the Plymouth Democrat and ofjer pipers stated by authority would be published early this week, has not yet been given to the public. It was ready but when Gorman and other old demc cratic politJcions saw it they decided that it would never do. It will take all this week to revise it to suit their notions, not as to what is right, but what will bring the party the most votes. M. E. Ingalls, president of the Big Four, wno left the democratic party in 1896 and 1900 and supported McKinley, will make speeches for Parker and Davis in Indiana during October. The democratic leaders are greatly pleased ovecJhe announcement. Mr. Ingallswlllonly appear "in the larger towns where many railway employes live. His appearance Mn the rural .districts, it is feared, plight affect the farmer vote unfavorably. The Irish Wo;rld calls attention to s. fact which has been almost forgotten, that James G. Bl&ine was really elected president of the United States in 1884, but by the deft manipulation of John Y. McKane, and a few other rascals, was cheated oat of the state of New' York. A few years later John Y. McKane, who stole enough of Blaine votes to give the state to Mr. Cleveland by a narrow majority, was sent to state prison for repeating the tactics that robbed Mr. Blaine of the presidency. James A. Garfield, in an address t: young men in 1879, the year before he became a candidate for the presidency, spoke as follows: "Let me give you this one word of advice, as you are about to pitch your tent in one. of the great political cimps. Your iife is full and buoyant with hope new, and beg you, when you pitch your tent, pitch it among the living and not among the del i." Any young voter who allies hiajelf with ttii democratic party now isVtaking a backward step. He is pitching his t:at amor? Ihz dead, jls it rcere.

RUSSO-JAPANESE VAfc -Attack of the most determined character, which has lasted for two days, is being made on Port 'Arthur

by the Japanese. Dispatches frons Shanghai state that the Japanese have captured two forts and are as sisted by the fleets ' Preparations for the attack on Port Arthnr have been pushed for nine teen days. It is stated that the Jap anese hold four forts near the .main defenses, from which the garrison has been unable to dislodge them. General Stoessel reports to St. Petersburg that be repulsed two attacks on the redoubt protecting the water works of Port Arthur on Sept. 16. Battle is imminent near Mukden. The Japanese are advancing, eight or nine divisions strong, on the Rus sian front on the Hun River. A re port reaches St: Petersburg that Kur oki has crossed the II u a River to the east and is moving on the city with cut opposition. Is there a democrat in all the broad land who down in his honest heart would make a change in the condition of affairs if he could? The Boston Advertiser analyzes Roosevelt's letter of acceptance in this comprehensive way: "The pres ident's whole letter is a challenge to the democratic mismanagement. Will they take up that challenge! They must do so if they are anxious to win the campaign. But if they take it up they are likely to lose the cam paign."" Everybody in the republican party takes it for granted that we will win without an effort. Nothing could be more dangerous to republican pros pects than this feeling. Men who would otherwise take off their coats, refuse to go to work because they be lleve there is no necessity for it. Otb ers will not contribute money because they think it would be squandered and would not be used for legitimate purposes. This feeling of over-confi dence has lost many an election. Coincident with the news of the ad vance of Oyama cones the story of preparation for the abandonment of Port Arthur, with mines prepared to greet the entry of. the Japanese troops into the city. It has been a piece of folly and a useless slaughter of brave men in Russia attempting to hold Port Arthur. . Either by assault or by starvation, its capture by the Japan ese is inevitable, and Russia will win admiration rather than criticism should General Stoessel prtpare to move out of the forts, leaving the Important point to fall into the hands of the Japanese. Evidently great events are shortly to come to pass In Manchuria. The Russian giant- mav as well be ready to meet them as best be mav, for his enemy is unceasingly progressive and untiringly a fighter Fire at Swindell's E& Building. Shortly after the bands went to work in the cold storage egg packing home yesterday morLing some of the rooms were found filling with smoke. No tire could be seen, but a fire alarm was turned in and the fire department responded promptly. It took two houts of hard work to get at the fire and three or four members of the fire department were almost suffocated and rendered unconscious by the smoke. After a great deal of hard work the fire was reached and put out. IIow it originated is not known but the loss is estimated at $15,000, as 100,000 dozen eggs were destroyed or badly damaged. Mr. Swindell was attending a meeting of egg and butter men at South Bend but a telegram brought him home on the 11:30 a. m. train accompanied by his brother, Harry, of Kalamazoo and Tom Rollins of Dowaglac Mich.

SWINDLED OUr OF $5.CC0.

St. Joitph rCounty' Frafr Robbtd, inä Din Vertu Get lOnt cf tru Tluevai Henry Crofoot, residing five miles south of Mlsbawaka, was thertictim Tuesday'of one of the biggest swindles ever worked in this section of Indlana, his loss being $5,000. . The story of the swindle is to the effect that several days ago two men called at the Crofoot residence and claimed an acquaintance, which re suited in their putting in a great deal of time in Mr. Crofoot s company. It a v was suggested that the time be used n playing cards and several games were played In which Mr. Crofoot came out a deal winner. Finally the two men stated that they hadheard of two "rubes" that would bo along that way, and that the fellows had a considerable amount of money, and that the three, includ lng Mr Crofoot. would play them a gams of cards and win It. Tuesday about nimn the two ex pected "rubes" drove up towards the Crofoot home and were stopped by the two men who had been playing cards with Mr. Crofoot. Finally a game of cards was proposed, tu which the strangers readily agreed. To all appearances Mr. Crofoot' won heavily and after the game was finished bis winnings were put in a box that corresponded greatly with a box that the strangers had carried their money in. After a time the men drove away and on their going Mr. Crofoot went to count over bis winnings, when he dis covered that be had been swindled out of all his money, a sum said to be $5,000. Croofoot went at once to South Bend and notified the police and tele grams and telephone messages were sent to neighboring towns and cities. Marshal Kaufman, of Bremen, having seen two strangers going south in a buggy, started after them, accompan led by Lee Ditty, Erank Dimmick and another gentleman. Two or three miles south of Bremen they met Deputy Sheriff Voreis, who had heard nothing of the swindle, but had met the men on his way from Bourbon to Bremen. He wheeled his horse and started back to Bourbon. When he got there be found. one of the men with the horse and arrested him. The two men had separated when they gut to Bourbon, and one of them got away. Mr. Voreis took a fine revolver from the man he arrested and got $2,500 in cash. The man .refused to give bis name, but disclaimed all knowl edge of the swindling transaction. ' He was brought to Plymouth and Sheriff Bond u rant took blm to South Bend on the 6:55 p. ml train. The sheriff had not returned from South Bend when we went to- press and we cannot give further particulars. Up-to-Date-Warfare. . A letter from the Orient declares that whenever the Jap generals hear firing along the front, they run a tele phone wire to the spot, and get prompt reports of everything going on. This Is certainly warfare up to the minute. When Doctors Disagree. At the close of Judge Crumpacker's speech Wednesday evening W. n. Matthew, L. M. Lauer and other democrats came down out of the hall and declared that Judge Crumpacker had made a saint out of Bryan, that he extoled him to the skies and seemed to think he was among the best men in the world, and all day Thursday leading democrats were askiosr whv Crumpacker thought so muc': of Wil liam Jennings Bryan. ButMetsker, who did nut bear the speech, says Crumpacker slandered Bryan and gives a garbled quotation from a newspaper interview with Admiral Dewey as what Crumpacker said. Deweyls a democrat, Matthew and Lauer are democrats and we leave Metsker to settle the matter with them; but it is only just to Mr. Crum packer to say that he abused nobody, and that he eulogized both Parker and Bryan stating that while he disagreed with them politically he believed they were honest.

, . Congressman Crumpacker made a great speech iastr,Wednesday night at the armory to an audience that filled. the hall and listened attentively for au uuui auu a.uau. Judge' Crumpacker 5 rutiewed the work of the two great parties and presented facts and figures that could not be controverted. . He showed conclusively that if Theodore Roosevelt is defeated his defeat will be brought about by the great trusts that are angered 4 because he enforces tbe laws against rich and poor alike, and because "Judge Par ker's speech of acceptance declared against federal control of trusts and in fayor of the common law which cap r only be enforced in the several states and would, not affect tbe great combinations of capital incorporated in New Jersey and extending throughout the United States. . The position taken by Parker is the position taken by Grover Cleveland. Richard Olnejy J. Pierpont Morgan and all the great trust magnates. The speech' was oueof the best ever deliyered in this city. Judge Crumpacker is a great reasoner and presents his thoughts so cleariy and logically that everybody can understand. He abuses no one, has only good words for his political opponents, but he believes that the common people shjuld stand by Theodore Roosevelt in his efforts to enforce the law, and give the country good government, Capt, Barney Pays Expenses. t There is a peculiar situation about the reunion of the 100th Indiana regiment which took place at Elkhart Wednesday. It Is almost distinctively an Elkhart t cjunty regiment and was commanded by the late Col. Ruel M, Johnson, who, when sulkers refused to assist in conveying the loyal soldiers to Warsaw, where they could take the train, went about tbe hitch rack of the public square of Goshen and captured enough teams to transport bis men to the best adapted railroad point. . Two years ago Col. 'Johnson passed away. Every captafn in the regiment has passed into another world excep. Captaio- Win; Barney, of Elkhart. Tbe old . veteran had his heart set upon this year's reunion being held at Elkhart. There was something pa-tbetic-'in his . pleading. with the old boys to come now to Elkhart and make the attendance large. The committee in charge consented, and now Captain Barney comes out with the voluntary announcement that he intends to pay the expense of every survivor of the 100th Indiana who comes to the reunion. There are1 enough survivors to make the expense a big item, but Capt. Barney faces the situation with a courage that would have brought approval from tbe brave commander of the 100th when he made his splendid record as a soldier. Goshen Times. Good Words For the Negro. In his speech at Indianapolis Book er T. Washington saId:-"No black band ever raised Itself to strike down the chief executive of the nation; no black band ever raised tbe red flag of anarchy let patriotism of the past augur well for the patriotism of the future." Commenting on this statement, the South Bend TlmeSj a leading demo cratic paper says: "Mr Washington is warranted In pointing with pride to these two important facts. Let us hope the time may never come when Mr. Washington may notbe able to repeat what he said at Indianapolis. Birthday Anniversary, Thursday, Sept, 15, was the seven teenth anniversary of the birth of Burreil Hartman, son of Mr. and Mrs. D. O. Hartman residing three miles north of Plymouth, and his parents gave him a birthday party Thursday evening that will be long remembered by him and all present. There were about sixty persons present, the Plymouth orchestra fur nished music, the refreshments were excellent, and everybody had a jolly good time. v. Col. Dode Warmly Greeted. Col. James S.
