Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1897-1902, 1900-08-17

On special invitation issued by
County Chairman Skunk, of the repub-
licsn committee, couple dozen repub-
licsns of Plymouth assembled at Kuhn's
hall Tuesday, while Col. Durbin
sndSA brshsm Brick sawed the air, tell
ing of the wonderful things that Nc
Kinley and Hanna have done. Col
Durbin, among other things, said that
the democrats cry of Imperialism and
militarlsm were hobgoblins of diseased
Imagination and like ghosts would flee
at the sound OF argument and an ex-
position of the position of the demo
cratic party. This ls the classical way
that Col. Durbin has of telling the dem
Gratis that they are crazy. They may be
crazy enough to vote for man, who
abuses them thusly but it is not likely.
Mr. Brick made a talk also, eulo-
gizing the prosperous conditions under
Mckinley, but he failed to illustrate
his prosperity tslk with any reference
Ia the melodious stiffness over at the
Novelty works. He didn't say a word
about the hundred families who have
left Plymouth during the past few
months because of the wonderful pros
perity-OF THE TRUSTS.
Perhaps Brick was thinking of him
self, when he got enthusiastic about the
present prosperity. Yes, Mr.. Brick,
these are mighty good times--to be
congressman. These are just the kind
of times when fellow can push his
feet under a mahogany table ut Wash
ington at salary of $1,000 per year and
feel good. But, Mr.. Brick. how do you
think our laboring men feel who have
been thrown out of employment on &C.
count of your republican trusts-who
have in numerous instances lost their
homes on account of Mark Hannas
new plan of business evolution ."
How do our friends feel who were
squeezed out of their investments in
what was heretofore payfog business
enterprise. How do our business men
feel who have lost the patronage of
more than hundred families because
of this business evolution" that has
sent them to the larger cities and, in
some instances, TO the poor farms :?
How do they feel about your bossted
prosperity?
Col. Durbin and Congressman Brick
won't be able to deceive even the re-
publican politicians of Plymouth. 1t
will take more than ordinary Brick to
do that Even gold Bricks" won't
work this year.

Its Sessions at Laporte Closed Meets in
Cleveland, o.. Next Year.
The Ohio and indiana synod closed
its sessions at Lsporte Monday and
adjourned to meet In 1901 at Cleveland,

press labor. The conference also voted

Durbin aud Brick Here,

Col. Durbin and COngressma an Brick
were in Plymouth Tuesday trying to get
the former wheelhOrses of the republi-
can party lined up. They are very
much concerned about their party g
welfare here, ss the apathy among quite
number of those who have taken off
their coats in the past, is very marked
this year.
The trusts have stunned the party
workers as well as the rank and file of
republican voters.
Mark Hanns's trusts have closed
down the best factory Plymouth has
ever had, thus turning out of employ.
ment over $50 laboring men as well as
contiscsting the equity of the former
proprietors.
Our business men have felt the effects
of Hannsism in this instance with tell
ing emphasis and there is little wonder
that there is great apathy among the
republican workers in consequence.
Perhaps Col. Durbin and Congress
man Brick may think that the boys
will swell up with pride because of a
handshske with them, but it is more
likely that they Will administer the
"gush" to these distinguished candi-
dates instead of being recipients of the
aforesaid article. Our republican
friends here will not support a party
that has done so much IN the way of
crippling our locality, Col. Durbin and
Congressman Brick to the contrary not
withstsnding.

BEER ATMA

A Disposition to stop the Sale on Sunday.
1t is rumOrsd that pleasure-seekers at
Lake Maxinkuckee may be deprived of
their Sunday beer, as a result of cru
sade insuguarsted by the Christian
church assembly at that resort. The
demand for the beverage is so great
that it requires many white-sprOned
walters to supply the customers. 1t
was given out last Sunday that the
sheriff would appear to close the ss-
looms and beer gardens, but he did not
do so. 1t is understood, however, that
the law will be enforced next Sunday.

Can Newspapers Afford to Lie?
The following appeared in the Even
ing News Wednesday evening:

The following appeared in the Even
ing News Wednesday evening:
"The Independent says if you want
man and you can't cOerce or scare
him, buy him. The people Will think
twice before they send man TO the
legislature who Is ready to sell TO the
highest bidder"
The Independent did not make the
above statement at all and it's readers
know in what connection it was used
in Hon. G. L. Drummond's speech,
which was published in the Independ-
ent. Mr.. Drummond stated in his srti-
Gle that "Mark Hanna's idea is that if
you want man and you can't coerce
or scare him, buy him"
The above clipping from the News is
simply sample of the lies which the
republican paper is grinding out under
the present management. The Inde-
pendent prides itself upon the fact that
it is truthful. 1t would rather have a
reputation for truthfulness, than 10
score any kind of political advantage at
the sacrifice of truth. The politics of
the publisher of this paper is we'll
known and he is firm in his belief, but
our republican friends will find him
truthful in every statement relative TO
the opposing candidates as well as in its
accounts of the political meetings OF
the opposition.
Such statements as the one clipped
from the Evening News can harm no
one, but the republican editor who has
sought to deceive his readers. 1t also
is convincing proof that his publication
is unreliable. The Independent refers
to this matter because the proof is con-
elusive that the republican paper has
sought in this instance, ss in hundreds
of others, to deceive its readers by mali
cious misrepresentation The lines
quoted are taken from Mr.. Drummond's 8
Bethany Park speech, which appeared
in Tuesdays Daily Independent and in
this weeks issue of the Marshall
County Independent. The publisher of
the Independent believes that honesty
is the best policy in conducting a news
paper, as we'll as in business trsnssc-
tiODs.

A LETTER FROM ALASKA.
Frank l.. Thomas Sends 81 800 From Gold
Fields.

j. w. Thomas has received the fol-
lowing letter from his son now pros
pectlng In klondike:
CIRCLE CITY, Ala, July 10, 1900.
J. w. Thomas, Plymouth, Ind, L. :. a
Dear father and mother wrote you
before leaving Dawson and sent you a
draft for 81, 800. | meant to write you
under separate cover while there and
tell you of the draft, so that if you did
not get it you could write me at once
and l would send you q duplicate as
soon as got back.
Well, l am at what is called the
twelve mile Rhode house, which is fif-
teen miles from Circle by the present
summer trail My partner is Mr.. Davis
an Australian. We had to stop off at
Eagle City so that he could get out his
intention papers to stake ground in
Alaska. We are bound for the new
strike on the Tsnans. 1t is about I25
miles from Circle City across country
to where the strike was first made, but
| suppose We will have to go about
twenty-five miles farther back to un-
stsked ground. If reports are true this
promises to be the coming camp of the
Yukon but then | can tell you more
about that when | come out than | can
now. There are lots of prospectors and
stampeders in there now and lots more
going in. Excitement is pretty high at
Circle.
We got one horse at Circle, but had to
pay $3.50 for him and were lucky to get
one at all. He is a good, big. strong
horse and | think will stand the trip
line. We made the fifteen miles from
Circle heIe last night at one stage. We
have about 225 pounds on him, enough
grub to last us month or more when
we get over there. We Will be there in
about five days more if nothing goes
wrong.
The trail is fine so far and they say it
is fairly good all the way. But the
mosquitoes are the worst | ever saw.
You cannot imagine how bad they are.
We have nets over our faces and gloves
on. but still they get on and bite one
more or less and they just set the
horses wild.
expect to 60 back to Dawson when
| come out from this trip, which will
be about month or six weeks, so write
me there.
Well, will close, hoping this will
find you all well.

WRECK OF THE TEMPLAR.
The Explosion Declared to BE Due to
Excessive Steam Pressure.


The explosion that caused the wreck of
the tug Templar. in Baltimore harbor July
20. it has beer learned, was the result of
excessive steam pressure, higher than that
for which the craft was certifieated The
accident cost the lives of Charles E. Wood.

4 number Of others were s'ounded. The
tug had left Alexandria with the schooner
Nellie T. Moore in tow and the explosion
occurred Immediately after arrival in Bal
timore. An investigation was commenced
at once BY j. W. CAST, supervising inspec-
tor Of the Third district, and Edwin F.
White and Charles W. Wright, local in
spectors. Their report has been received
by James A. Dumont. Supervising Inspec-
tor General. and the causes of the accident
are set forth in the following manner:
THE deteFiorated part was beyond the
turn OF the fiange. and would be hard to
detect, excepting under hydrostatie test.
Mr. Stanton reports that he made an inter
nal and external examination of the boiler
at the time of the inspection. and no weak
ness developed under hydrOstatic test after
an internal examination was made. After
the boiler was raised Mr. CAST ordered the
spring safety valve to be taken OFF the drum
and prepared for test. On August 81 We
made a careful examination OF the valve to
see If it had been tempered with. We found
everything intact, the valve was tested. and
found to raise from the seat at just Ice
pounds
The pressure the boiler was certified to
carry was seventy pounds steam pressure
to the square inch and no more. There
were two safety valves, one a spring and
the other lever valve; the lever valve
was in such a wrecked condition that moth
ing in the way Of a test could be made
We find that the certificate called for
two engineers. and that there was only one
on board the steamer. We ara of the opin-
ion that the fracture started at the !ongi.
tudinal seam. and that the steam pressure
at the time of the explosion was far In ex-
cess of that allowed by the certificate

The long desired, long deferred drop in
temperature that marks the end Of hot
weather and heralds the relief from the
oppression attendant thereupon material
ized yesterday shortly after notice of its
expected advent had been given by the
Weather Bureau. The stih western
breezes that prevailed during the day had
depressing effect on ambitious tenden-
cies of the mercury, and cool wave from
tia northwest that swept over the city
during the evening helped to bring about
a delightful change.
The cool weather is directly traceable
to the West India hurricane that has
border of the United States. and it is
about the only beneficial result that can
be laid to the credit of that storm which
wrought such incalculable havoc at Gal
weston The rains that followed in the
path of the gale as it passed over the
caused considerable drop in the temper
allure of those regions, and the cooling
winds that have caused the change in
Washington climatic conditions originated
in that part of the country.
Yesterday morning Willis L. Moore,
chief of the Weather Bureau. issued
special bulletin announcing that a consid-
cradle drop in temperature within twenty
four hours would m ks permanent break
in the heated period that had oppressed
Washington almost continually since the
early part of July. The welcome news
caused the tagging hopes of the opti-
mistic to revive. but others shook their
heads and remarked that the Bureau had
issued similar predictions before and the
promised relief did not materlalize. They
could hardly be persuaded to believe in
the prediction.
But whatever may have been the bygone
shortcomings of the Weather Bureau this
time there was no mistake, for within
twelve hours after the bulletin had been
issued the predicted change came about.
In the late afternoon while the sun still
beat down fiercely its intensity was tenn
pered by the cooling breezes that blew
over the city. The relief of the longed for
change is apparent on every hand Last
night 1t was cooler than 1t has been any
evening since June. People donned cloth
ing that had been laid away because OF its
weight since that time There seems TO be
little room for doubt that the change will
prove permanent and that from this time
on the weather will partake OF the nature
popularity supposed to be typical of au-
tumn.
Showers, accoIding to the forecast sheet |
issued last night. may prevail in the Dis |
trict tomorrow, while northerIy winds will |
prevail.
