Bryan was Right, For Once.

After all. Bryan hasn't turned out
SO bad as Daniel. In one OF his mete-
ORIG flights OF e.oquence four yeays ago
he declared, i'll his characteristic style,
that the American people intended to
put stop to the habit of borrowing
money from England. This innova-
ton was promptly inaugurated, begin
nlng with the date of his defeat, and
such progress has been made since
that memorable epoch that johnny
Bull has, under the painful pinch ol
necessity, tapped at the door of Uncle
Samuel and gone away with a glad
dened heart.
1t appears that Bryan can see a
thing or two in advance, even though
he docs find it necessary to disfigure
his nose on a brick wall like unto that

The Real Significance Of the Dutch
and German Prcfixcs Explained.
1t is common mistake of those who
speak only English to suppose that the
prefix ivan" before a Dutch name
signifies nobility. In the s'low coun-
tries''-that is, in the kingdoms of the
Netherlands and of Belgium wan
has no particular meaning. Names
with wan are to be read on shops
as well as on the doors of the most aris-
tocratic mansions. The humblest per-
sons have them as well as the most ex-
allied, and a great number of the very
Oldest families are without it.
But in Germany "vonv implies no.
bility, and all persons who belong to
the nobility Prefiex won" to their fam
lily names without any exception. Per-
sons who do not belong to the nobility
cannot have the right to put .von" be-
fore their names. A man who is
knighted for some reason, however, has
the same right to put svon'' before his
family name as a person of ancient no.
bility. For instance, when Alexander
Humboldt was knighted he became
Alexander Won Humboldt All his de-
scendants, male and female, take the

One of the ablest and most brilliant
lawyers at the York county ,(Me.) bar

During the past year much has been
said regarding the large amount of
Eastern capital that is being invested
in Washington timber lands. A con-
servative estimate places the amount
at between $4,000, 900 and SIC, 900 900.
The Tlmberman in commenting on
this great development of Washington
forests, says, the timber purchases in
Washington and Oregon seem to indi-
cate two distinct ideas on the part of
those who make them. There are first
the heavy buyers, usually syndicate or
combinations OF capitalists, who pur-
chase tracts of from $4,000 to 100000
acres, or even more. Considering the
density of growth ON timber lands in
that section such tracts mean very
large quantities of stumpage. A well
selected tract of $4,000 acres should
carry at least 600, 900, 900 feet of tim
Der and may bear much more.
These tracts seem largely to be
bought as investments, though in
some cases they may be operated on a
conservative plan to pay carrying
charges. The other class Of buyers is
of those who purchase smaller amounts
ranging from current purchases en-
ough to keep moderate-sized mill in
operation up to few hundred million
feet. These smaller tracts are usually
bought for immediate development,
and from them promises to come the
bulk Of the timber product for the
next decade. Some OF the heaviest
producers and most successful concer-
ms on the Coast today own but little
timber in their own right, buying as
they need it or patronizing the loggers
others which are timber owners prefer
to buy logs and preserve their own.
holdings for the future.
There are a few heavy concerns
which are cutting their own timber,
but the prospect seems to be that in
main the lumber product will be by
the smaller timber owners rather than
the large ones who are looking to q
somewhat distant rather than to the
immediate present for returns of their
investments.-P. /.

stewards Significant Bolt.


Senator Stewards arraignment of
Bryan and his snti-expansion policy is
one of the important episodes of the
campaign. Stewards devotion to Bry-
an in the last campaign was almost
remarkable in its consistency. OF
course, Uncle Billy had an Ak to grind,
but scores of others whose interests in
the result of the campaign were as
great did not 60 to the ends that Stew
art did to support the cheap money
candidate.
In subordinating private interest to
sound public policy, in which honor
and patriotism rather than personal
gain are involved, Senator Stewart has
regained the position in public esti-
nation he once held as a leading
champion of protective tariff at a
time when Organism had not yet
darkened the political sky of the coun-
try.
In defining his position Mr.. Stewart
returns from mining matters. The
sacrifice of hundreds Of lives and mill
lions in treasure, he correctly contends
would never been necessary had it not
been for the aid and comfort extended
to Aguinaldo and his band of cut
throats by the organs aDd the Hoars.
He upraids them in the severest terms
for claiming that in putting down the
rebellion and maintaining law and
order in the territories we have ac-
quired, we launched into imperialism
that using the army in pursuit of this
purpose "militarism," and that the
basic principles of the American Dec
laration of Independence we're main
tanned in encouraging the rebels to
slaughter our soldiers in defense of a
position which never involved the
question of laudable principle.
Mr.. Stewart declares that in addition
to the reckless absurdity of his present
position Bryan has proved himself a
traitor to his followers and friends in
subordinating issues which four years
ago constituted the backbone of the
fusion campaign.-Ledger. :.

There has been much pulling and
hauling by various interests to have the
war tax reduction made in accordance
with their respective desires, and a sub
committee of three is now at work put
ing in shape the plans that the majority
have decided upon i'm a general way.
The indications thus far point to a
maintenance of the taxation that falls
upon the poor people, while the rich
who deal extensively with checks
drafts and commercial paper, are to be
relieved of the "annoyances" that the
revenue tax supplies. The poor man
who may be lucky enough to have a
bank account, but who is forced to
make payments on mortgages and be a
party to the signing of various forms
of documents will find most of the old
taxes left. There was a difference Of
opinion among the Republicans of the
Ways and Means Committee regarding
the removal of the stamp tax on checks
drafts, etc. Some of those from the in
terror of the country wanted this stamp
retained. arguing that it was one of the
easiest of all the war taxes to collect.
but the opposition was led by Chairman
Payne and Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
the ranking member Of the committee,
and they won their point.
While it is not absolutely positive that
there Will be a 30 per cent reduction of
the beer tax, the impression prevails
that the brewers are to be given con-
sideratiOn as their campaign cOntribu-
tons We're generous and their influence
is powerful

VEVAY. Ind, June 1S.-Mrs. Banta, wife
of James d. Banta, residing near Craig,
six miles from Vevay, was shot this morn
ing at o'clock, sixty-seven shot striking
her about the head, face and neck. Doctors
Culbertson and Hayden say she is danger
ously wounded, but she may recover
Fred Gilbert, aged about twenty is
charged with the crime. Gilbert had been
paying attention TO Pearl, the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Banta, to which they OBJ
jected. Sunday afternoon he met her in a
buggy In company with young gentleman
and another young lady and said he desired
to talk to her. She declined to talk to him
or have anything to do with him. Monday
morning, Gilbert was seen with a shot gun
looking about the home Of Banta. Later
on Mr.. Banta took steps TO have Gilbert
arrested. Shortly before he arrived home,
Mrs. Banta was going from the smoke
house to the residence. As she entered the
kitchen door she was shot.
Gilbert fled, but was afterwards arrested
and placed in Jail at Madison, and probably
will be taken TO Vevay tomorrow. 1t is
believed Gilbert mistook Mrs. Banta for
her daughter.

No announcement that could come from
Philadelphia or Washington will give
greater satisfaction to so many citizens OF
Indianapolis, regardless of party, as that
indicating that Gen. George F. McGinnis
has been agreed upon to be recommended
as the successor of the late Postmaster
Hess. General McGinnis came to Indian
apolis young man, and has lived here
ever since. His name stands for all the
positive virtues which constitute good cit
izenship. He is respected and esteemed by
all those who admire manliness, integrity
and valor. 1t is the rare fortune of Gen
eral McGinnis that years hare not brought
TO him feebleness of body or nind. His
intellectual powers are as alert as they
were the day his valor was so conspicuous
at Champions Hill.

MADISON, Ind, June 1S.-Frederick Gill
bert, who shot Mrs. James Banta this
morning, has been arrested and placed in
jail here and has confessed his crime. Mrs.
Gilbert was arrested on the public high
way, between here and vevay. When taken
into custody he denied his identity TO the
officer, but later, to the Journal represent
alive, admitted both his identity and his
crime He said he had worked for James
Banta, and was in love with his daughter,
each being twenty years of age. Her par
ents had not seriously objected to his
suit until after he went to work for Mr..
Heady, on a neighboring farm, and lately
they had met less frequently.
Last Thursday he drove by to take her
to prayer meeting, and learning she was at
neighbours went there and was talking
with Miss Banta when her father drove up
the family carriage. Gilbert next visited
her yesterday. about five in the afternoon,
and wanted to talk with her, but she ex-
cused herself in a way that satisfied him
her parents were determined to break UP
the cOurtship.
He brooded over 1t all night and this
morning got his shotgun and appeared
early on the Banta premises. Seeing two
of the smaller children, he fired to brighten
them, the shot taking effect in the face
of the mother. whom he declares he did
not see. He says he doesn't care II he Is
hanged, as nobody seems TO care much for
him. He is a son of Samuel Gilbert, was
born in Switzerland county, is rosy checked
and black haired, and is not vicious look

Mrs Banta's husband is a brother of
Sheriff Ira Banta, of Switzerland county.
At latest reports she was slowly sinking.

The Journal has frequently quoted from
banking house of Hambleton & Co., be-
cause it's members are Democrats of the
old brand. In the issue of Saturday the
prediction is made that the canvass
proceeds conservative people will realize
that Bryan is the same old Bryan" and
will concentrate in support of Mckinley.
1t then goes on as follows:
Our readers will observe that we are
confident of the reelection of President
Mckinley. We cannot help being Any
one, not blinded by prejudice, must adj
NIT that If the election of Mr.. Mckinley
did not produce the years of great pros
perity which we have enjoyed since 1896,
the defeat of Mr.. Bryan is what did pro-
duce 1t. You can take IL either way you
like. And further, we all know that the
election of Bryan this year could not fail
depression. For this reason we are fully
convinced that the business interests and
laboring classes will not support man
who they believe. If elected. would pro
preston. and would close factories and
workshops generally.
AS the foregoing are the views OF con-
than passing notice. The country Is pros
porous and the utmost confidence pervades
business circles, but that confidence Is not
so stable that it cannot be shaken by the
success of party pledged to do all it can
to reverse the conditions which brought
the confidence that was the forerunner of
general prosperity
