INDIANA STATISTICS. There are some people in Indiana who do not believe in the office of statistician and think that the money paid in salaries and in other expenses incident to the office work is worse than thrown away. The work of this bureau covers a large field in the domain of agriculture and commerce. It is not confined to these fields,' however, and often crosses their boundaries and enters the church and society and reveals situations that are sometimes alarming. , During the last few months, the Indiana bureau of statistics has given the public some figures on the subject of marriage and divorce that are both surprising and alarming in their extent. During the year 1903 there were 28,005 marriage licenses issued and 3,763 divorces granted. If we interpret these figures, it means that more than 13 out of each hundred marriages are set aside by divorce. ' If we add to this the number who abandon their partners in the marriage contract and do not apply for a divorce, the per cent, of separations will be much larger. So far the statistician has given only some information but this information is like leaven, it begins to work and to take hold of mind and conscience and the result is action. This action belongs to the reformer, but we must not regard the minister the only reformer in matters of this kind. The real reformers and the ones most responsible are the parents. If the home be what it ought to be, the divorce courts would soon have to go out of business. The church, the legislature and public sentiment can do much to crush out this growing evil. There are several causes for this alarming increase in the number of divorces, but there seems to be one that needs regulation moi'e than any other and that is early and hasty marriages. A paragraph from the Indianapolis News is pertinent: "While it is not possible to obtain statistics regarding early and hasty marriages, there is reason to believe they are a prolific cause of divorce. If such marriages are due to the large freedom accorded American girls and to the absence of restraint on the association of the sexes, it may become necessary to revise our social code. The European system of chaperonage and parental regulation of martail engagements may be distasteful to the young, but it tends distinctly to the prevention of hasty marriages."

In one sense the decision as to how a vote should bo e?t should be regarded from a strictly business standpoint. If a stranger were to come to this country without any preconceived polirical prejudices, and take up the history of this country for the last half cpntury, or for any ten years in that half century, and compare the conditions of the country at any one time with the condition at any otier one time; or, if he were to consider the management of affairs in the different States, he must come to but one conclusion, namely, that it is the Republican party that for some reason knows how to conduct tlie affairs of government far better than their opponents. Let any voter rid himself of his partisan proclivitis long enough to take such a survey and there will be. but one answer when he asks himself how he ousrht to vote.

Whatever Indiana does at the St. I,ouis convention, everybody knows that it will not fitly represent the great mass of Democratic voters in the State. When the bosses proclaim that Indiana will be a unit at St. Louis, it simply means that a few men are in the saddle and they propose to override the voters, as if the latter had no, rights that they are bound to respect. The truth is that actual Democracy of the State will not be represented at the so-called Democratic convention at all. For, according to Democratic testimony itself, the party in this State has been sold to Ausrust Belmont & Co.,representinjr not merely one millionaire, but a number of millionaires, and not merely American millionaires, but foreigners. 5

Indiana educators are in evidence at tlie National Educational Association. No less than five of them were on the program yesterday. ( Prof. Fiske of our local high school, is at the head of one of the sections and Prof. Thompson read a paper on chemistry. Supt. Mott is the manager for Indiana. Richmond's educational colors are unfurled to the St. Louis breeze. Old Daniel Decatur Emmett, author of Dixie, died yesterday at Mt. Vernon, 0., in the 89th year of his age. He was a remarkable character and his place in the minstrel world will never have his peer. There are now twelve candidates for Senator to succeed Mr. Fairbanks. Better make it thirteen, then the last fellow will not have a ghost of a chance. ;; , , ; i ,

RICHMOND SPORTS Must Keep Away From Uncle Jimmy Horrigan's Bargain. According to a report in this morning's New Paris Mirror James Horrigan is considerably out of patience with the alleged sports mostly from Richmond, who are making his barn between here and Westville a midnight resort for prize fights and boxing contests. The house on the premises was burned some time ago, and there is no one near at night to interfere with these meetings, thus making it a favoritte place of resort for the purpose. He says that no less than threee of these affairs have occurred there within a month. The trespassers leave the gates open and let the stock out and otherwise mistreat the property and Uncle Jimmy is getting very tired of it and is very indignant Excursion to Dayton Soldiers' Home July 2nd given by the Ladies vf Fifth Street M.

Does tlie State Board Or County Board Fix Valuation of Banks? INTERESTING PKOBLEM At Indianapolis Certain Banks Maintain That State Board Is tb , . Only Authorized Body. County Attorney Holds DiCerent t Views and Understanding of the Matter Is Sought. Indianapolis, June 30. Question has arisen in the county board of review as to the right ox that body to fix the valuation of banks. Officers of some of the banks say that they regard the state board of tax commissioners the only proper body to pass on the valuations of banks, for the reason that the assessments are made on the stockholders individually, and not on the banks as corporations. Some of the members of the board of review also take this position. County Attorney Martin Husg has given an opinion that the county board of review can properly fix the valuations of banks. Bank officers were summoned to appear and it is protabla that an understanding will be reached without contest. OQcers of the various trust companies of tne city were before the board supplying information in making up the valuations. ALL EUROPE Modern Methods of the Barnum & Bailey Show. It is a certain hing that no other American enterprise ever attracted the attention of foreign countries that has been earned during the past five years by the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on earh in Europe. Notwihstanding the fact that this was its fifth visit to foreign lands, never be fore had it been presented upon so stupendous a scale. In those coun- j tries the people were accustomed to , seeing their largest circus exhibitions ! in a small tent, where the performan-! ces were given in only one ring. If : they wanted to see a collection of beasts they didn not see it at the' show, but had to j?o to their zoological j gardens. Naturally, zoological gar- i dens are to be found in only the larg- ! est cities. That which amazed them i quite as much as the show itself was the manner in which it was handled, j Seeing this vast amount of material j handled so rapidly and expeditiously it caused them to study the perfection of organization which made this rapidity and certainty of movement possible. Even the militay authoritiesand these included some of the crowned heads personalh were greatly interested and paid contin-! uous . personal visits to the show in! order to learn its methods of move- j ment, so that they might be applied to the transportation of their armies and munitions of war. The triumph of the show in Europe j was simply overwhelming. No such record had ever been made before by any sort of exhibition. The same superb establishment has been brought back to this country entire, but the illimitable enterprise and still unsat isfied pride of Mr. Bailey did not regard it is sufficient for the American people. As a result, he has had constructed and has addeed to the show for its homecoming, after its last visit and longest stay abroad of the several that the show has made, enough new material to equip a half dozen ordinary shows and to actually double his own greatest show on earth in size. It is difficult to give the simple facts and figures concerning the show without being suspected of extravagance, and for that reason and the further reason that there is not space at command no attempt to enumerate the enormous list of features entirely new to this country will be made at this time, t is enough to know that this community will be ; given an opportunity of seeing not only the same stupendous aggregation which fairly staggered Europe, but added to it new and elaborate equipments in both material and of star champion performers, sufficient to exactly double it in size. This superlatively great exhibition will be here on next Tuesday, July 8 and the new parade be given in the morning. . ,

AMAZED

IT 13 TO LAUGH

Indiana Democrats-' Peaking a Mad Scramble for a "Co Jntar Irritant." " Indianapolis, Jrae" 30.VRepublican leaders are deriving no little amusement from tile eagsrness manifested by their friends, the enemy, In this state In the effort to bolster up a boom for an Indiana man for. the Democratic vice presidential nomination. During the Republican national convention and for a few days immediately following .Indiana. Derace;at3 pooh-poohed the suggestion that the placing of Senator Fairbanks on the Republican national ticket would' have any appreciable effect in the campaign here this fall, but they, have had time fcr a little sober reflection, and the more they think of the matter the mors alarmed they become, realizing that with Senator Fairbanks as the Republican candidate for vica president their fight is a hopeless one in Indiana unless they can turn a trick that will act as what the medical men term a counter-irritant. Consequently they are now fairly falling over themselves to start a boom for me of their number to be placed on the tail of the ticket that will be nominated next week at St. Louis. They are not openly declaring that an Indiana Democrat should be on the national ticket because Senator Fairbanks Is on the Republican ticket, but that is the real reason so much is being heard of the Kern and Shively vice presidential booms. Up to date John W. Kern of this city appears to lead as the candidate of Indiana Democrats for snrti honors at St. Louis. At least he is given more newspaper publicity and the Democratic state organ has its editors and reporters working overtime in the production of matter laudator' of him. Mr. Kern and Mr. Shively are both good Democrats and estimable men, but their admirers who are now urging that the placing of one of them on the Democratic national ticket this year would add great strength to the ticket and assure the landing of Indiana in the Democratic column seem to forget that both Mr. Kern and Mr. Shively have headed the Democratic state ticket and that neither was able to put up a fight that gave Indiana Republicans concern. Judge Cassius C. Shirley of Kokomo is another prominent Republican who Is being groomed by his friends for the senatorial handicap. The judge has a wide circle of triends who have been anxious for some time to be given an opportunity to support him for one of the highest offices in the state, and he is recognized as a man of the highest qualifications lor any official preferment. Last winter he was talked of as a prospective candidate for governor, but he himself punctured that boom, stating flatly and unequivocally that he had not the slightest intention of becoming an aspirant for any office. It is altogether probable that he will dispose of his senatorial boom in equally summary fashion, but that does not interfere with his friends' seizins the opportunity to compliment him by pointing out his strength. Tlie list of men who are being mentioned in connection with the senatorship includes the following at present: Governor Durbin, Congressmen Hemenway, Landis and Crumpacker, State Senator Hendee, Warren G. Sayre, Judge Shirley, George A. Cunningham, J. Frank Hanly, John L. Griffith, Addison C. Harris and Harry S. New. Candidates, or prospective candidates, lor Senator Fairbanks' seat in the senate are appearing almost hourly now, and it is a poor day that does not bring forth a boom for one or two men whose friends are "urging" them to get into the race. If this thing keeps up, and if all the men who are "boomed" actually become candidates, by the time the Republican members of the next legislature are ready to go Into caucus on the question there will be almost as many men in the race as there are members of the caucus. Battleships Collide. Cronstadt, June 30. The Russian battleship Navarin, while returning to her anchorage, was rammed by the Russian ironclad Netron Menia, which struck her amidships. The damage to the Navarin is not serious, though it may be necessary to drydock the vessel. It is believed that the period required for repairing the battleship Will not be a long one. Deal Now Closed. New York, June 30. The final detail in the payment of the $40,000,000 to the Panama Canal company by the government has been completed. J. P. Morgan & Co. received from the subtreasury the $25,000,000 of bonds, which they deposited with the treasury officials while payment for the canal properties was pending. Hinshaw Case Drcpped. Indianapolis, June 30. No recommendation will be made by the state board of pardons at this session for the pardon of William E. Hinshaw, convicted in the Hendricks county courts for the murder of his wife and now serving a life sentence in the Michigan City prison. Japs Reported Retiring. Liao Yang, June 30. The Japanese are reported to have retired ten to twenty miles from the positions which they recently held. Owing to local rains it is thought that the operations north of Pot ""ihur have bco'ir.-Icf.-nitely postponed. Victor, Colo.. June 30. Thirty-nine union men affiliated with the Western Federation oi Miners who have been arrested at various times since the Cth Inst, have beea deported. ; t

Conditions were such that the Republican platform could not contain any innovations or set forth any bold proposals looking toward changes of policy or important new legislation. So far as the partj in power is concerned, it can do little else but present the McKinley-Roosevelt administrations to the country and ask for a vote of confidence and a renewed lease of power. No political strategy or finesse, such as the old fashioned campaign managers delighted in, can be of much use for the Republicans this year. All they can do is to present the Roosevelt administration on its merits, believing in it themselves and asking the country to exercise the same faith. It is for this reason that Mr. Cortelyou has almost ideal qualifications for the management of this year's campaign. He is a firm believer in the administration and its methods, he is widely acquainted with public men, he is a good organizer as has been shown in his long official experience he has a cool head and great eexecutive talent, he is not wedded to obsolete tradition, and he will make no campaign pledges or promises that it would afterward humiliate the President to be obliged to redeem.
