AN AMAZING SITUATION.
The unenviable i oitiou of the democratic House, -just adjonrned, is forcibly stated in this recent editorial from the Indianapolis Star. It is known that the President will Teto the tariff dickers of the present session. It is known that even if he
should permit thein to become law, they would be short-lived, for newbills will be brought forward and enacted this winter. In view of the ausolute needlessness and futility of these tariff proceedings, the dickering and bargaining between Underwood and LaFollette becomes so foolish and mischievous as to approach a national scandal. Probably not a single one of these rat?s that these tricksters are jockeying over will stand, probably there is not one of them that de
serves on its meiits to stand. They' represent no conclusions of study
and conviction. They are not the rates that Mr. La Follette's investigations dictated, they are not the rates produced with ostentatious labors try Mr. Underwood V committee. They are mere resultants of political haggling for confessedly discreditable "ends of personal and factional ambitions. They ure no more fitted to become the law of the land than if the figures had been drawn by a blindfolded man out of a hat. Such reckless playing with great issues is a thing almost unbeliaveable. It makes a joke out of tariff reform, and repudiates every avowed principle of protection or revenue as expressed by either Republican
vr Democratic authoritv. More
. than this, it basely betrays the de
sires of the American people toward
our manufacturing industries; for
while nobody wants the wool -grow
er or the woolen manufacturer to enjoy inordinate or unnecessary pro
tection, neither does any honest or
ibmio-htful man want to see these
important industries made the foot
ball of wanton, haphazard and chang
ing tariff legislation. This tempor
ary guesswork and thimble-rigging type of tariff is as indefensible as
the Payne-Aldrieh wool schedule it
self. In preventing this travesty on
tariff reform and this wanton har-
xassing of the great industries of
4hA pnnntrv. President lau neea
T W W have no fear but that the people
trill sustain him with enthusiasm
and loyalty.-
with the aimaxiship. "First of all, as I hear the talk among the workers in the party, everywhere I have been, there is a sincere desire to avoid selecting for committee leadership men who "are controlled or dominated by ambitious individuals. The call is for a chairman, who, in himself, embodies qualities of leadership that will induce the party to unite and follow him. I do not know who the mans is. If I did know his name I would not mention it. But there is positive demand for a positive organization that will work for the party and that will refuse to permit any man or set of
men within the party to issue orders on behalf of personal interests. ' 1 Republicans are tired of handing over congressional seats to democrats. They have become convinced that they have been making gifts to the opposition all along the line. They see no good reason why they should continue to do so.They are alive to tthe mistakes made in the past and they are alive to political errors as they are made from time to time by overanxious individuals who may aspire to leadership. Republicans are talking good politics, and locally, in tthe counties, they arc playing the game sensibly, and with an eye to victory in 1912. If they are encouraged properly they will go ahead and win. The democrats have paved the way."

The session of tlie city council Monday night was an unusual one in many ways. Besides the surprise of the resignation of the mayor and councilman, the tax rate for the coming year was fixed. The rate made was rl.OS on the $100 of taxable propertv as against l.öO1 ' last vear. This is a cut in the rate of 42ioe. which will not only make a big difference in the city taxes but will h much appreciated by all the tax payers. The different items of the appropriations are as follows: Salaries of -officers and employees $4,000 Streets. Alleys and Bridges. . ..$2.000 Sewers and Walks 500 Electric Lights 4,500 Miscellaneous Items 1,600 School Bond Interest 724 Funding Bonds Interest 4.350 Water-works Extensions 4,500 Fire Department 4.SS6

This week a representative of Ft
Wavne clove manufacturing concern
was" in Plymouth to sell of his wares
He usually had received some good
orders from Plymouth merchants
but this time he got not a bite. Why? There 's a reason." Plymouth has a glove factory of its own. The manager, Mr. Donoghne, had so well satisfied the merchants with both good goods and right prices, that they told the Ft. Wayne man they were tot going to buy a single glove this v;ar from anybody else. . This was the story of the Ft. Wayne man himself, and it sounds rood to the ear. Such conduct all the way round is! what will bring a town orrt of ths ruts and up on the macadamized road quicker than anything else. Everybody in Plymonth for Plymouth.

Members of the Jacoby and Kay families held their tenth annual reunion at the fair grounds Tuesday. Nearly 100 people sat down under the great trees to a most sumptuous dinner served on one long table where there was a place for everybody present. Rev. J. C. Smith made a short address after dinner, and several others gave short talks. Those attending from a distance were: Mrs.
Wm- Sanders of Marion. O., Mr.
and Mrs. Fabian Matottee of West

exhibited two .Mexican silver dollars which he said had been stolen by two lads who camo through the counfrr in an earlv dav. and that he
with some others had captured and sent them to the penitentiary for the housebreaking and theft. A ball game was played by the married men against the unmarried men, and this resulted in a victory for the former by a score of 16 to 13. Officers for next year were chosen as follows:

Grand Total ,$27,0ß0 This h?vy is made up if 2Seforthe general fund, 4c for the school bond interest, 24c for the funding bond interest, 27c for the Fire Department and 25c for extensions of the Water
works. Tn addition to this there will be the Library tax of Iflc on the $100. Faid Fire Department. - It is the purpose of the c tineil to put in a new, paid, and up-to-date fire department. It will have a paid service, thoroughly elficient and
equipped for every duty. The water
works system is also to be extended and perfected by a complete system of mains surrounding the city on all sides as has already been stated in the Republican. All the old wooden mains will be taken up and replaced with iron pipes. Many of tlie four inch mains will be taken up and replaced with six inch pipe,,' the
smaller ones being used for farther
out toward the edges of the city.
In reporting their estimates the
committee said: "We estimate we will have, enough money from the fall installment of taxes, and that
will be coming in Jroin various
sources, and on hand, to pav the
running expenses of the city for the
vear 1912. We have moncv enough on hand to take up a water-works
certificate Sept. 1. The 28c for general purposes, together with the
25c for extension of water mains
will go a great ways towards com
nletinsr the exteusion of water
mains. The Fire Department, the extensions of water mains ' are the two greatest items of expense and
most essential for the coming 1 year, We are, I think, able to make a fine
showing for our labors for the past
vear and halt. When we took our
offices there was a floating indebt
edness of at least $35,000 (includ
ing $5000 school bon-ls) and numer

debt at a low rate of interest. We wijl.by Jan. 1, 1912. have psid jjG.OOO with interest on the 0,000 funding bonds, and have taken up $2,000 with interest of the school bonds,
leaving our total. bonded Indebted
ness Jan. 1, 19!2, at $30.000. We
will after this meeting have redeem
ed two certificates tor the improve
ment of. the water-works and can
take up the third and last one by Jan. 1, 1912. To place Vur waterworks plant on a solid and profitable basis we had to necessarily be a heavy expense. We doubtless have

Shoulder Blade Broken Head and Body Badly Cut and Bruised Lies in Unconscious Condition
There is more Catarrh in this section of the country, than all other diseases put together, and until the last few .years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefo'-e requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo. Ohio, is the only Constitutional cure on the market. It Is taken Internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces ofthe system.
