Fergus county, Montano, in attract ing attention ou account of its sapphire mines where gems occur in veins instead of small pockets as is usually the case. Abous 18,000 carats of these stones were taken out during the last month. Reports from every branch of industry show that there is no sign of abatement in any of the lines of industrial prosperity. The Drices of all manufactured products are on the rise and take all natural products with them sympathetically. Senator Depew's argument that senators elected by popular vote should logically be apportioned according to the voting population is a warning to those stktes which have disfranchised some of their voters that they must be careful how they tinker with the constitution. The selection of the Duchess of Marlborough, nee Vanderbilt, by the Queen of England, to be one of her attendants at the coronation ceremony has angered many of the Eng lish peeresses but it is intended, it is stated, as a delicate compliment to American womanhood.

Trade between the United States and Porto Rico is growing remark ably. We now take over half the exports of the island and supply four fifths of all the imports. This year Porto Ricans will buy $10,000,000 worth of goods from us, or five times as much as when they were under Spanish rule. Apropos of the conventions for ihe nomination of Congressman, which will be held soon, it is worth remarking that the states which send the same men to congress for many successive terms are the slates which not only secure the best representation but which frequently contribute the most to national legislation. The agricuil oral department recommends that tlie first fiies which appear during the summer be summarily dealt with, as fly generations follow «ach other at ten day intervals, with 120-fold increase. Therefore one original progenitor killed at ihe be ginning of fly time is equal te several million Liter on. The ocean steamship trust is announced as set' led, though ihe new plan does not destroy the 1 entity of the existing lines, each being controlled by a blanket corpoiation oiling a majority of the shares in eaoh ccmpany. The world’s shipping will be reduced to a system and the object will be to priviJe a daily service between New York and England whereas now the sailings of the different lines are at cross purposes The whole plan is stupendous in its scope and possibilities.

RUN DOWN. When a phrase is coined out of world "wide human experience it is apt to be brief and expressive. We are "rundown” we say in the endeavor to describe a relaxed ___ physical condi- mfM CTt tion, and all the terminology of not more ex- J|| pressively de - jj/i] U condition than FM /1 m that» every day phrase.

Providence and Prosperity.

The Kansas City Star says: “Senator Beveridge makes the common mistake of many Republican politicians, of attributing the great prosperity of the country wholly to his own party. It would seem that the plenitude and wise arrangement of resources in the United States, superiority of the soil, the excellence of the climate, the early and the later rains, the advantageous juxtaposition of fuel and ore, the location of the republic and many other natural conditions which were established when the morning stars sang together and all of the sons of God shouted for joy, ought to reflect some little credit on Providence, whom the Republican party insists on trying to eclipse.” One is of course impressed by this explanation of prosperity. Providence gives us the prosperity, but who Is cast for the job of giving us the other 'thing? Were the resources of this country any less in 1896 than they are now? Was not he soil just as good? Were there not rains, both of the early and the late variety? Were not the fuel and ore in just as advantageous juxtaposition? Was not the republic about as well located then as now? Were not the morning stars doing business even before that time? If so, what was the matter? We hai had “good times” in 1892, we have them in 1902. The resources, the soil, the iron ore, the mel, the sunshine, the spring and fall rains were with us not only at each end of the decade, but in the middle. What difference existed —a difference which created prosperity in 1892 and 1902, and prostration in .1894, 1895 and 1896? Any man with a memory ten years long will not find it necessary to call in a mathematical expert in order to figure out the factor not common to both equations.

Equal to the Occasion.

The facts, declarations and acts, of the party in Indiana, of the department of justice, and of the president, "11 indicate sincerity of purpose, and it the Sherman law is adequate to the necessities of the hour, conviction and punishment will follow the judicial investigations now under way, and if it is not the Republican party will enact a law that will mee„ the requirements of the people. The task is a delicate one and a mighty one. It means a contest with aggregation of money and brains, such as the commercial world has not hitherto seen or known and such as the courts of this or any other country has never dealt with. There may be delay, for wealth and brains can make delay, but the end will come, soon or late. The people can afford to trust Theodore Roosevelt and the Republican party, they solve this great question, for both, wo repeat are profoundly in earnest. —Lafayette Call.

On the Trail of the Trusts.

The beef trust men are profuse in their protestations of innocence, but the case, which the government 13 working up against them will show whether or not they are telling the truth. It is known that the administration is pushing this matter with courage and ardor. If there is a be of trust-r-and an overwhelming majority of the people believe there Is one—it will be assailed by all the resources which the law puts in the government’s hands. There is a chance, of course, that the law njay be found ineffective in this case, but if this be so a new act will bo passed which will do the work which is required. The Republicans are in the trust-killing business, and the country will soon see that they are in to win.—ShelbyVille Republican.

The Government and the Trusts.

Senator Beveridge struck a popular sentiment when in his keynote speech at Indianapolis he advocated the government control of trusts. Combinations of similar Industries can be made a blessing, as has been demonstrated In numerous cases, and they can also he made a curse, as has also been frequently shown. Legislation should bo enacted which will prevent abuses while admitting of such combinations as are for the public good.—Terre Haute Tribune.

FROM THE CAPITAL

Democratic State Convention the Next Political Event of Importance at Indianapolis. NO PRESS FOR PLACE ON TICKET Republican State Convention Struck a Keynote for the Country—Busy Days for the Labor Commission— Dedication of the Soldiers’ Monu ment. Indianapolis, May 6. —The Democratic state convention will be held in Tomlinson Hall on June 4 and 5. If the party leadership is hopeful as to the outcome of the campaign of 1902 in Indiana, their optimism is not reflected in the push tor place on the state ticket. A few men are avowed candidates, a few others are “prominently mentioned,” but there is no such systematic and strenuous campaigning as went on within the Republican ranks for several months prior to the recent convention. With that great gathering, by the way, the Republicans of the state, judging from the comments of the state press and local party leadership, are better satisfied than with any off year state convention of recent years. It would have been impossible to select a poor ticket from a field of candidates so uniformly excellent. The platfonn pronouncements of the convention have attracted favorable comment all over the country, as did the speech of Senator Beveridge. It was the first Republican state convention of the Twentieth century, as Senator Beveridge said in his address, and Sounded the keynote for its first general campaign. The comment of the independent Washington Post Is indicative of the spirit in which the work of the convention has been received throughout the country. The Post says of Senator Beveridge’s speech: “It was on a high plane, broadly patriotic. His vindication of the policy of protection was superb. Object lessons in the shape of great manufacturing industries were at hand —and he had but to name them in order to justify his party.* * * All the surface indications point to a Republican victory in Indiana, and that means the re turn of Mr. Fairbanks without opposition to the position which he fills with exceptional ability, usefulness and honor to the state and country.” Information For Politicians. Three publications of special value to Indianiaus Who take an interest in politics, and this includes about all of them, have recently been issued—one is an abstract of the vote of the state at the November election, 1900, by precincts, compiled by Upion B. Hunt, secretary oi state; another is a political .feand-book of Indiana for the campaign of 1902, prepared under the direction of the Republican State committe by Archibald C. Millikan. Both these books are marked impiovements on former volumes of similar character, Mr. Hunt’s book because of its handy form, and Mr. Millikan’s on account of its completeness. .The hand-book includes a directory of the Republican state committee and the Lincoln League, a digest about the election laws of the state, maps of the congressional, senatorial and representative districts, a roster of state officials and members of the general assembly, an abstract of the vote of Indiana, and a great deal of other information of value. These hand-books are not distributed gratuitously by the committee, fiut are placed on sale at a nominal price intended to meet the cost of publication. The third is a complete and satisfactory compilation of the platforms of political parties in Indiana throughout the history of the state. The author of this book is State Librarian W. E. Henry. This book contains a very satisfactory index.

The Labor Commission at Work. These are busy days for the state labor commission, and Mr. McCormack, who represents the interests of labor on the board, has on several occasions tried to solve the problem of how to he at three or four points at once. On the whole there are fewer labor troubles in the state now than is ordinary at this time of the year, but the practice of calling upon the state commission is growing, so effective have been its efforts in bringing about, the peaceful settlement of strikes. One encouraging fact is that Buch lftbor difficulties as do occur at present are not on account of threatened reductions of wages, but because of the desire of wage-earners for better compensation or conditions of labor. There are more than 3,000 centers of industry in the state, employing nearly 225,000 workmen. As the commercial interests of the state expand the vital concern of the public in industrial peace is increased, and, happily, the spirit of voluntary conciliation and arbitration grows, largely through the agency of the labor commission. Dedicating the Monument. Senator Tillman said in a speech in the senate some months ago that haying some time in Indianapolis between trains early one morning in the fall of 1900, he walked up town until he came within sight ,of the. Circle. There he saw the most beautiful soldiers’ monument he had ever looked upon. Most of all, he said, he was impressed with the figures showing the gr«at part which Indiana played in

’ , } » t \ the war for the preservation of the Union, when Senator Tillman was a soldier on the other side. On that simple entablature lingers a story of patriotic sacrifice unsurpassed in all the history of the states. Senator Tillman is not the only vis itor who has been, surprised by the beauty of the splendid monument which is the central and commanding feature of the Indiana capital. There is no more beautiful or more significant memorial structure in the country. The cornerstone was laid on Aug. 22, 1889, by President Harrison, and while in Indianapolis to attend the funeral of that great Indianian, President McKinley promised that he would attend the dedication, now set for May 15th. The exercises will include addresses by General Lew Wallace, Governor Durbin, Major G. V. Menzies, General John W. Foster and General Ell Torrance, commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., who will be here to attend the state encampment of the G. A. R. the same week. James Whitcomb Riley will read a poem. Governor Durbin has proclaimed May 15th a holiday throughout the state, and it is expected that the occasion will be observed throughout Indiana in a manner befitting the realization of a patriotic project which represents agitation and effort extending over a period of 27 years.

THE PLATFORM

Principles Upon Which the Republican Party in Indiana Stands. The Republicans of Indiana, In convention assembled, hereby make declaration of the following party principles: We cordially afHrm the platform adopted by the Republican national convention at Philadelphia in 1900, and pledge anew our adherence to the principles therein enunciated. The party Is to be congratulated that It enters the campaign united and harmonious. We view with pleasure the unprecedented measure of prosperity which prevails throughout. Indiana and the entire country, the rich fruit of Republican policies and Republican administration; and we deprecate every effort to overthrow the laws and the administration under which such results are accomplished. We mourn the death of Our great leader and president, Wllliain McKinley. He was an Ideal citizen, a statesman of profound wisdom, a patriot of the most exalted purpose. He was beloved beyond all others by all the people. The country under his administration attained a degree of unparalleled prosperity and won the highest prestige among the nations of the earth. The civilized world shares in our sorrow. His nnroe and services are a part of the splendid and endnring history of the republic. In the death of General Benjamin Harrison the nation has lost a brave soldier and one of Its purest, wisest and most trusted statesmen, and Indiana her most Illustrious citizen. General Harrison left to his country a rich legacy of good deeds done. We revere his memory and mourn his loss. The Republicans of Indiana express their profound sorrow upon the death of Governor James A. Mount. His personal life and character, his patriotic services as a soldier in the war for the Union and his unselfish loyalty to his commonwealth make his name one of reverent and grateful memory. We cordially endorse the able and patriotic administration of President Roosevelt. Succeeding to the presidency under tragic circumstances and pursuing the policy of his Illustrious predecessor, he at once won the confidence and approval of the American people. We are proud of his courage, his purity and his devotion to the Interests of the entire country, and pledge him the earnest support of the Republicans of Indiana in all his efforts to continue and advance the prosperity of the people at home and the glory of the republic abroad. We are gratified that Cuba will soon pass to the control of her own people and that a new republic has arisen upon the ruins of monnrchy. We favor just and liberal reciprocal relations between the United States and the republic of Cuba,, which by tne valor of American arms and the wisdom of American statesmanship is added to th« family of nations.

We approve the course of the admins trntion in establishing peace and civil gov ernment in the Philippines. We oppose .those who continue to resist the authority of the United States, whether openly in arms in the or secretly or openly in the United States, in sympathy with the insurgents. We hold to the doctrine that American sovereignty must be respect, ed withln«the United States and all territory under its Jurisdiction. We favor the establishment of absolute peace in the Philppines and the erection oi civil government therein. We Insist that the people of the islands shall be glveD Increased participation In the administration of their domestic affairs as they shall demonstrate intelligence and capacity so» •elf-government. We are opposed to all trusts or combinations of capltnl whose purpose or effect Is to restrict business or control prices.. And we especially denounce those whose tendency is to increase the cost of living and the necessaries of life. We favor legislation to prevent such abuses. We approve the sincere and determined effort of President Roosevelt to enforce the laws against illegal combinations in restraint of trade, and demand that administrative state and national, shall enforce all laws In the most vigorous manner, so that legitimate competition shall not be embarrassed or destroyed. We adhere to the policy -nf protection. Under it our Industries have developed and the opportunities of labor have been increased and wages maintained at a higher rate than would have been otherwise possible. We favor the extension of our markets through carefully guarded reciprocity arrangements with other countries wherever It can be done without "Interrupting our home production.” While we favor such modifications of tariff schedules from time to time are required by changing conaltlons, we insist that such changes shall be made in line with the fundamental principle of protection. Our faith in the gold standard has been amply Justified by the wonderful strides of American industry and commerce since its adoption. We are gratified that Republican diploml acy has secured the abrogation of the Clay-ton-Bulwer treaty, enabling the-government to proceed with the construction of a ship danai between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans under the authority of the United States and the protection of our flag. We favor the most stringent national and state legislation to suppress anarchy. W e approve the enactment by congress of legislation which will debar Chinese from gaining admission to the United States to the injury of American labor, and we demand the enforcement of Immigration laws which shall exclude all, unworthy and immigrants whose presence menace our citizenship or injure our wage workers. We recognize as a continuing obligation the debt of gratitude due from the republic to the soldiers and sailors whose valor saved the life of the nation, and those who

A proper recognition of this sacred obligation demands that liberal provision be made by pensions for the disabled survivors of these veterans, and the widows and helpless orphans of those who are dead. We are gratified that through a Republican congress and a Republican administration Indiana will soon be repaid by the United States more than *600,000, balance due the state for money advanced in her patriotic efforts to preserve the intevrltv of the republic. * r The Republican party of Indiana Indorses the conduct of Its senators and representatives In the congress of the nation, and is proud of the ability shown, and the conspicuous and controlling part taken by each In shaping legislation and bringing added glory and honor to the state they so ably represent. The administration of the state’s affairs by Governor Winfield T. Durbin has been one of marked success. Devoted to the best Interests of all the people of the commonwealth, he has the hearty Indorsement of the Republicans of Indiana. Bringing to the discharge of the duties of chief executive the experience of a successful business life, he has diligently and steadily labored to place the financial management of all the departments along the lines of most careful accountings and competent, conservative control. The supervision of state institutions has been exceedingly faithful. His appointments on boards of control have been of a superior and representative character, and his efforts have been earnest and careful toward the very highest efficiency both as to management and the letter and spirit of the laws. In the management of the state’s financial affairs the Republican party believes that the state government is like any great business Institution, considered from the standpoint of accountability and responslDiiity to the people of the commonwealth. It believes the humblest taxpayer Is an Interested stockholder In the financial affairs of the state’s business, and that Inefficiency, indifference or waste In public administration, expenditures or accountings Is a crime; and It believes that the present system of state government is the most economical and efficient that has ever been established. The party takes especial pride In the financial record made by Its efficient officers since taking control of the executive department. Since that time the party has established just fee and salary laws* the tax levy has been reduced; the state debt has been decreased over one-half, and th present administration will furthr reduce the debt more than *2,000,000, leaving the state free from any debt maturing prior to 1915.

During this time the state has established a soldiers’ home, where the soldier veteran and jits wife may find comfort and care; and the orphans of the soldiers and sailors are likewise cared for, educated and fitted for the duties of life at their home at Knlghtstown. In addition, during this time, the reformatory and benevolent Institutions have been enlarged and extended the management is humanitarian and nonpartlsan, until Indiana leads the advance in the progressive movement for the alleviation of the unfortunate classes committed to her care. The legislative policies and measures of the party In enacting laws for the protection and benefit of labor, ana laws regulating county and township business, have proven successful and are an earnest of other advances and reforms which the party will give to the commonwealth from time to time when needed. We pledge the people that the Republican party will not confer special privileges on railway or cither combinations, but will maintain and preserve the right of lawful competition and the supremacy of the laws over all corporations and monopolies. The iaws touching the garnishment of wages should be revised. And the laws for the protection of miners must be observed and enforced. The Republican party demands the adoption and enforcement of proper laws regulating nominations, securing to cverr man the right to express his choice for the candidate of the party to which he belongs, whether the nominations are made by a direct primary or a delegate or mass convention. The state central committee Is Instructed to prepare and adopt suitable and proper rules and regulations which shall In the future govern, the mode and manner of the selection of delegates to state, congressional and legislative conventions. The completion of the monument, raised and dedicated to the soldiers and sailors of Indiana, is a tribute to the heroism nnd valor of the brave men of this state whose services and sacrifices preserved the republic and rendered possible the present happiness and glory of the nation. It will stand ns a witness to the appreciation of a grateful people.
