It looks as if a couple of Danish sharpers had sold to Mr. Richards< n of Tennessee a large brick labeled, “Democratic Campaign Material.” President Roosevelt’s veto of the frills to remove charges of desertion •bow that to abandon the flag of one’s country is “the Unpardonable Sin’' in his eyes. The Chinese government has issued decrees giving mining concessions to foreigners but the tax burdens are so great that they practically amount to prohibitions The steel trust earned last year fill ,667,195, a sum larger than the capital of of any other industrial concern. The corporation makes its books public and does not seem to lose anything by it. Cecil Rhodes’ will was first made in 1877, when he was a young man of twenty four and had scarcely begun to amass the immense fortune he possessed when he died. The last will was dated 1899, yet the two are essentially alike General Guevarra. Luk ban’s successor as leader of the Filipino forces, has s ed for peace and says he will surrender with all the men patriotic Filipinos that the American army has had to deal with and our .officers respect him greatly. Russia, Germany and some of the other powers are issuing bonds to an amount equal to their share in the Chinese indemnity, thus converting it into ready cash The payments from China will be in installments lasting over a number of years. A Russian paper has had to suspend publication because it said that the freeing ot the serfs, accomplished forty-one years ago, had done less for the peasants than was hoped for. The government will not tolerate even such mild criticism. The government lias put a higher valuation on gold in the Philippines than ever before by lowering the exchange rate of silver. This was necessary because Chinese money changers bought up gold coins and turned them into bullion at a large profit. The man that is forced through fear of fine or imprisonment to be kind to his horse and to retrain from cruelty to all animals, will, from enforced habit, be kinder and more humane to his kind. The societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals that are spreading ail over the world are therefore having a reflex influence as important, perhaps, as the •melioration of the condi ion of the lower animal world.

SOME OF THE ISSUES

Various Phases of the Political Conflict Upon Which the State Is Now Entering. AN INDIANA EDITOR’S VIEWS Text of a Paper Read Before a Recent Editorial Association Meeting at Indianapolis Concerning Present Day Politics. At the recent meeting of the Indiana Republican Editorial Association held at Indianapolis, Mr. Ed. T. Staley of the Tipton Advocate discussed “Political Issues That Now Confront Us.” “The question of territorial expansion has been settled; we have expanded, and no power under the cycle of the sun can contract us. The Philippines are ours, ours by every right* recognized by the civilized nations of the world, and wherever our flag floats, whether on land or sea, under the midnight sun of the northland or far down under the Southern cross, it is there to stay and no man or set of men dare haul it down. What may be the position of the Democratic party relative to our newly-acquired territory is difficult to forecast. It may, for policy sake, declare in favor of abandonment, but it is the history of that party that it never relinquishes anything of value on which it lays its hand. As to how these new possessions are to be governed or the positions they are to occupy temporarily or permanently is a matter for the American congress and the executive to determine. I, for one, am perfectly willing to trust the present law-mak-ing and law-enforcing bodies to deal honestly, fearlessly and intelligently with all the great and Important questions as they may be presented. “ ‘The tariff is a tax and the consumer has to pay it,’ was the old Democratic war cry, which was forced to give way to the slogan of the boy orator of the Platte, namely ‘The free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, with or without the consent of any other nation on earth,’ but unless the signs of the times are greatly at fault, the country has heard the last of that; free silver is dead and lays side by side with the

remains of the rag baby once so dear to the Democratic heart. But Bryan and Bryanism is still a factor to be reckoned with, for try as they may, the better element of the Democratic party cannot shake him off or eliminate his policies, and in my Judgment he is destined to play another engagement in the leading role. Anti-expan-sion, opposition to colonial government, down with the robber tariff,

smash the trusts, together with other wild and fantastic notions, constitute basic principles on which the Democratic party will epter the coming campaign. As for the tariff, we have nothing to fear, for the reason that it took the country too long to recover from that alopathic dose of free trade administered by the last and only Democratic administration during the past 40 years. The memory of that widespread disaster and ruin wrought by that one Democratic prescription still abides with the people, and they want no more of it. The fact is the people as a whole are satisfied with ■ the present tariff law and they will not approve of any revision of schedules or tinkering of any kind. Possibly there may be some inequalities, some duties may be too high and some too low, but whatever defects may exist, they are of minor importance, not of sufficient magnitude to warrant an effort to correct them at the risk of disturbing the business of the country. Business, like capital, is extremely sensitive and easily alarmed. Therefore it is to be hoped that the Republican congress will not at this time attempt any revision of the tariff, and I am reasonably certain that the Democratic party will not be given an opportunity to do so. “The trusts, or ‘unholy combinations,' of which we hear so much about, but whose baneful influence we feel so little, will no doubt cut quite a figureour friends, the common enemy, will endeavor to prejudice the minds of the people, as they always do, by the portrayal of imaginary conditions. No doubt .‘there are good trusts and there are bad trusts. Just

as the Interest of the individual or of a given community may be affected, but for the life of me I cannot see how the good is to be maintained and the bad eliminated. In fact, I can see no legal remedy. Democratic platforms bristle with ‘whereases and resolves’ against the iniquitous trusts, but these so-called declarations of principles present no well-defined plan whereby the evils complained of may be abolished or eyen regulated. Of course, they tell us that our protective tariff laws breed trusts and that a blow at one is a blow at the other, which is doubtless true, but they failed to tell us that a uiow at the tariff is a blow at all manner of business, which is a fact that experience has amply demonstrated. The question is one that will have to be met, and let us meet it boldly and fearlessly. ' The advantage is with us. Let the Republican press everywhere appeal to the reason and not to the passions of the people. Prosperity unequaled in the history of the has come to bless us and the people know the source from which it came. Never since governments were known among men was such a marvelous transformation scene witnessed as that which followed the election of William McKinley in 1896. Glorious McKinley, may the memory of his splendid Christian character, his heroic and selfsacrificing devotion to the cause of the plain people abide with us through the coming years. Let us not only cherish his memory, but let us emulate his noble example. His faith assassin, his work was not done, but in the people and the ultimate triumph of right principles was sublime. Cut down by the hand of a cowardly so clearly were his policies defined that it only remains for us to follow the pathway which he so plainly marked out. Let us stand by our guns, answer shot for shot and under the leadership of our magnificent president, Theodore Roosevelt, and our gallant senators and representatives in congress, we shall achieve another splendid victory when the fall election comes.”

DUE TO THE SYSTEM

The Nation’s Present Commanding Position Not Without Reason. Brookville American: The present commanding position of the United States as a nation, the wonderful achievements of the American people in naval architecture, their skill in war, the high record they have made in diplomacy, in literature, in art, and all the things that mark the advance of the nation to the first place in the world, are the fruits of the grand system of education, from the primary department to the higher institutions of learning, which it has been our policy to foster in the most liberal manner for a century or more. That “Knowledge is power” was never more strikingly illustrated than in the American people. This fact—all these facts—ought to be an inspiration, if inspiration were lacking, to our educators and to the youth of the land to make the highest and best use of the opportunities which the liberality of the people affords to all. And a noble characteristic of the American people, woven into their fiber through the Influence of our institutions, is that with the advance of knowledge comes moderation and a spirit of justice that render them conspicuous among the nations of the earth.

GENERAL PROSPERITY

A Banker’s Views on Present Condition of Things. Indianapolis Sentinel, Mar. 1, 1902: R. Neptune, a prominent banker of Thorntown, was at the Grand last night. “This has proved a very prosperous year with us,” said Mr. Neptune. “The farmers of our county have enjoyed unusual prosperity. I know from my connection with the bank that this is so, since we now have more depositors among them that ever before in the history of the county. When the farmers are prosperous and are enjoying good times it is safe to sdy other people are doing the same. An example of the difference is shown by the fact that the price of farm land has advanced in the last six months anywhere from sls to $25 an acre. Land that a year ago would only have brought S6O an acre is now worth $75 to SBS an acre. “I believe the proposed electric railroad from Lafayette to Indianapolis will be built during the coming year, and this will prove a great boon to Thorntown, since the line will pass directly through the town. As yet it is only a paper rpad, but on account of the prosperity of the farmers I believe inducements will be offered the promoters of the road that will insure its construction.”

Arrow Shots.

I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to the earth; I know not where. —Longfellow. Every time we get up early we conclude to do so right along, and we stick to it till the next morning. Everybody thinks more responsibility itests on him than-anybody else. Just as well for you to keep out of other people’s business or you’ll get more than you want of it. When we see h college glee club we always wonder who is putting up for their good time. Considering how hard it is to make a living, we wonder that we all hate so to die. Very few people make anything. How women enjoy seeing a henpecked man! If wo wanted everybody to follow us, we would start some new kind of religion. If you have anything that is out of style just hold on to it. The fashion will come around to you again. - An old man feels just as proud with his shoes “shined” as a boy with his first boots. - Folks will remember a good old horse as long as a member of the family. The Creator must be fond of a joke, considering the great number of funny people there are. A lot of college students seem to be afraid when they are traveling that everybody won’t know where they are going. We can excuse an old man for moving his lips when he reads, but we draw the line on a young man. Whichever side of the car you ride on the other side seems better. A man with a heavy voice would better not learn to sing. He can make more calling trains. If an old widower knew bow old it makes him look, he would not be so anxious to marry a young girl. Everybody kicks on yellow journalism, and yet everybody buys the loudest colored picture papers. Considering how many statues there are erected annually, there are a great many men who will have to be satisfied with a plain slab. , Natural as it is, it always detracts from a man’s greatness to see him real hungry. If you lose your hat at the hotel, do you not feel kind of sheepish about it? No man who amounts to anything fails to be attracted by a child. A mean man may be detected by' the way he treats his children. Men waste just as much time talk-' ing as women. The merchant who pays three dollars and eighty-five cents a year for advertising will oft and frequently raise his hand toward high heaven and swear that it doesn’t pay. P. T. Barnum was wont to say that “the road to fortune is through printer’s ink.” “My success,” said Robert Bonner, “is owing to liberality in advertising.” “Success depends upon a liberal patronage of printing offices,” so said J. J. Astor. Old Stephen Girard declared that “frequent and constant advertising is a sure prelude to success.” Ana then, listen to John Wanamaker: “I would as soon think of doing business without clerks as without advertising.” And, strange to say, John is backed up by A. T. Stewart, who said on divers and sundry occasidns. “He who invests one dollar in some business should invest one dollar in advertising that business.” Whom will you believe? the man who has made a fortune by advertising, or the other fellow?
