they must move their plants somewhere

great deal Of property that escapes tax

who has been in active sympathy with

given the following statement TO the

"The Democrat party and the federal

pies, partskes in no way of any ism un
der the sun We might as well relter-
ate the democratic platform of 1864 and
declare that the war was failure as to
continue to insist on Is to L. There is
lust as much sense liz one as the other.
am of the opinion that a working ma
jority of the democrats are now against
free silver.
"Meny over-zealous leaders have
gained the view that free silver is
popular thing among the masses and
that their political hope will be de-
IL tDty lRuO IL
and in favor of sound money. They
have been willing to sacrifice too much
for votegetting and departure from
the primary principles of the party are
resulting now to an approach toward
socialism. An arbitrary ratio between
the two metals is inconsistent with the
teachings of the Democratic party
from it's foundations. If we can build
a great wall around the country, com
mercIslly speaking, and live within our
selves, free silver would serve our pur-
pose, With man like Richard Olney,
or a man like Horace Boies for presi-
dent, with platform denouncing
socialism, miitarism, imperialism and
expansion, and on the other hand de-
handing that TO which the people are
entitled, we can regain the confidence
of the people throughout the East and
West, the North and the South and
elect president in 1904"

Bill TIC End Terms of All County Au-
ditors At the Same Time.
An effort probably will be made In
the next Legislature to have the terms
of county auditors all close at the same
time. December 81 or January |. A law
was enacted to end the terms of county
treasurers at the same time. Ii is
pointed out that the two offices are
closely allied and that the terms should
end at the same time. Most of the
terms of county officers end some time
in November, which is the beginning of
the busiest season OF the year when the
December settlement is begun, tax du-
plIcates are prepared and the fiscal
year settlement for the county commits
eiOners is made.
a new county auditor, who enters in
November, strikes the busiest part of
the year. IL Is pointed out that if the
terms ended at the close of the year the
new auditor would have clean sci of
books and new appropriation to work
under.
The terms of sixty two county audi
tors end in November, three in Decem-
Der, four in October, two in September,
two IN August, two in April and sew
enteen in March.

Chicago seems to be having a
hard time with its schools. Some
time ago 1t will be remembered that
some patriotic Irishman would not
allow history to be taught which
credited England with certain his
torical facts and there had to be an
omission of several things. Then
for a long time the bible has been
banished, and recently an attempt to
introduce a book of readings from
the bible was defeated. Still more
recently there was an excited meet
ing of representatives of German
societies to take action on the con-
duct of a school mistress who had
delivered lecture to her pupils in
which she dwelt on the evils of
stimulants and narcotics. The spe-
cific charge was that the school
teacher had declared that beer drink
ing and tobacco smoking were evils.

The Legislature.

The complete returns from the var
ious legislative districts show that the
republican majority on joint ballot
in the next Indiana Legislature will be
80. The democrats have elected 80
members and the republicans 81 mem
memb ers of the house, which gives the
republicans a majority of % in the
lower house. In the senate there are 10
democratic, one fusion and II repubi-
can holdover mem bers. In the recent
election the democrats elected & and
the republicans 10 new members, which
gives the republicans majority of 10

DR.. ParkhurSt, the sensational
New York preacher, is going into
the newspaper business and will
publish model newspaper. He is
going to publish all the news, and
neither God, man nor the devil will
swerve him from his purpose to
publish the absolute truth, regard
less of friends or foes. A model
newspaper is something like per-
feet government. 1t does not exist
and never will exist. Perfection is
not attainable in the newspaper field
for the reason that men differ in
their opinions ard what would be
regarded as model paper by one
man would come far short of it in
the estimation of another. Dr.
Parkhurst's paper may be consid-
cred model by DR.. Parkhurst, but
there will be millions who will dis
agree with him. Columbia City

takes an item from the Independent

"big ado" about mistake. BY mis-
take on the part of cOmpOsitor, the
state of Delaware was omitted from

state Auditor Hart VIII Recommend Some
New Measures.
The reelection OF State Auditor Hart
makes certain the recommendation of
several reform measures to the legisls-
turG, having an important bearing on
the insurance interests of the state. In
addition to recommending the repeal
of the statute requiring semiannnal
statements and the modification of the
law relating to the kind of investments
and securities which debsrs some com
panies from the state which are sound
and possess equally good securities,
Auditor Hart will prepare two bills,
one providing for fire marshall law
patterned after the Massachusetts law,
and the other to prevent Relating
among life insurance companies and
their agents. Mr.. Hart says that he is
preparing bill TO deal severely and
effectually with the life insurance com
psnies and their agents that grant re-
bates to men on whose lives they write
policies. The remedy his bill will pro-
vide is that of revocation of licenses.
MIR. Hart says surprisingly large num-
Der of policies are related, and the prsc-
tice Is trenchlng on the reserves of prev
ious policy holders. 1.-THE policy that
is related is not paying expenses" said
he.
If it is not the business of the au-
ditor of state OF an insurance commits
sioner to stop it, 1t is certainly within
the legislative power to enact law Civ
lug such officer the executive power to
shut the offending company out of the
state.
Assessment companies, too, that re-
NIT the membership fee and other orig
inal cost fees, in order to swell their
mem bership-a thing quite impossible
by any other means-sre just as guilty
of rebsting and loading down with
business that has not paid expenses, as
are old line companies that practice re-
batting"

made by the democrats in Northern
Indiana counties. Almost every county
reports large gains even where things
are otherwise strongly republican.

democrats Even in Lsporte county,
which Mckinley carried by 26. the

has ever been able to defeat an adj
which was carrying on
a foreign war. Thousands of pat
riotic citizens who were really op-
posed to the foreign policy of Mr..

his state until they pass an examin-
alton before the Michigan board of
law examiners. Heretofore the SUI

from judges in Indiana courts as
sufficient evidence of competency

Persons Residing Outside the State VIII

Indiana spoTtsmen who are accus
toned TO seek the haunts of geese and
ducks in the region of the ksDkakee
river are much interested in some pro-
posed legislation that will preserve the
game from outside hunters. This leg
islation, if adopted, will protect game
all over the state. 1t Will be in the
form of a new game lsw, and will
make 1t necessary for all persons living
outside the state to procure license to
hunt in Indiana The bill will pToba-
bly, be introduced by Representative
WhitcOmb, although 1t is not under
stood that he will prepare the measure.
Ii is pointed out that many other
states have such law, and it is oper-
sted successfully. These who are agi
tsting the adoption of such a law In
Indiana are especially concerned about
the game in the kankakee district.
Such law in Indiana would be psrtic-
ulsrly inconvenient to Chicago people
who hunt in Indiana. Every spring

men visit the kankakee river and shoot
ducks and geese.
