made some startling disclosures as to
the manner i'm which Commander
Todd, the photographer ofthenavy, had
waged his campaign against the stand
taken by the house in favor OF the
coast and geodetic survey doing ocean
survey work, the house rejected the
conference report by an overwhelming
majority, and the speaker took the al-
most unprecedented course OF appoint
ing new conferres on the part Of the
house who are not members of the
naval committee.
The debate was one of the most
heated Of the session. Mr.. Cannon In
the excitement OF the moment took off
his collar and necktie and with sleeves
rolled up aroused the house to a tre-
mendous pitch of enthusiasm as he
dealt the conferrees sledge hammer
blows. The galleries, crowded to the
doors, oheered the picturesque fight OF
the grizzled old veteran until the fret
ted ceiling rang. The conferrees de-
Tended their course as best they could
and Mr.. Foss, acting chairman of the
committee, resented with bitter lam
guage the charge that he had betrayed
the house. Hot words were banded
back and forth, but the house was in
an ugly mood and was resolved to
fight the senate TO a finish. The APP
pointment as conferrees of Mr.. Can
non. Mr. Moody and Mr.. Shafroth, all
of whom are in sympathy with the
houses position, assures no surrender
on their part until the house itsel
shall direct them to yield.

OFFICERS AFTER AEELY'S
MYSTERIOUS PACKAGE

indianapolis, June There Is a
mysterious package in the postonice at
Muncie that the government officers
here are trying to get possession Of.
It is addressed to Charles +. w. Nicely,
care OF Union National bank, Muncie,
and bears the postmark Of San Jose'
Costa Rica. The parcel reached Nun
Gle several days ago. The government
officers think the parcel may contain
Cuban postage stamps, or it may have
some of Neely's money in 1t. Maybe
both of these guesses are wrong, and
the package may have nothing in 1t
of value to the government.

resolution for final adjournment yes
terday The armor plate question,
which for five years has been a thorn
in the side Of congress, upset the cali

It was a day of strife and turmoil
in the senate. Early the conferres on

and the senate was told plainly that
the house would not consent to the
amendment providing for an armor
plate factory to be operated by the
government. A compromise PROPOSE

How many of you have paused to
think of 1.-THE quiet dignity of that
figure in the white house? The rattle
and clash of conflict so completely
claim the minds of the people that
attention is quite distracted from
Washington, where all eyes will just
as certainly be turned next March.
1t is not the fault of those two
strenuous rivals, Col. Roosevelt and
COL Bryan, who carry the same title,
though differently won, that they
should have succeeded in making
themselves centers of interest. Where
they have moved and are now NOV
ing, the battle roars, and smokes, and
the witnesses watch it, fascinated. 1t
seems, sometimes, as if there were
nothing else TO think of; because, by
the very fury of the controversy, other
figures are temporarily OFF the stage.
The calcium flares redly on the active
actors and on the shouting hosts that
follow. The one majestic figure of all,
that is to command the universal eye
at the climax of the drama, is for
the present cloaked behind the screen
of duty, temporarily forgotten by
reason of the prodigious clatter and
hurly-burly elsewhere.
To the thoughtful of his country
men, whether opposed or pledged to
him in political faith, the attitude of
the president must appear as ire
sistibly as his record. He has gone
on no journeys and made no speeches.
because it has not been necessary, and
because to have done either would
have lessened the dignity of the high
Office to which he was chosen, and for
performing the duties of which the
people pay him as their honored and
trusted servant. Instead, he occupies
himself from day to day with the af-
fairs Of state, administering them as
conscientiously in peace as in war,
and giving no thought so far as may
be discovered. TO the grievous turmoil
that RACES about him, and on the
issue of which his destiny as a states
man is hinged. He utters no mani
festo, and his only arguments are his
acts. He proceeds on his daily way
in the consciousness of duty square
ly performed, and his path is lighted
by the halo of a record full of hon
ors. He clamors for no notice, de-
mands no praise. His works do both
for him. In his very silence there is
stronger appeal than could spring
from a thousand speeches. 1t is a
course both rare and eloquent. Oh,
the beauty of it!
So there you may perceive this fig
ure, if you look; that of a patient,
earnest, Christian gentleman; wise in
council, just in judgment, conserva-
tive in thought, and statesman TO
his fnger-tips. A man that towers
above his fellows in qualities of heart
and brain; tried in the stern crucible
of war, beloved of his followers, re-
spected by his advisers, and spotless
in his personal life. VIII you exchange
such a president for a mere monte
bank and visionary-an expounder OF
political nightmares? Oh, no, you will
not.-Chicago Journal.

o0O lots. Instead of charging S4.75 for
them, as could have been done under the
bid, The True Northerner charged the
fair price of ~ for 800 The printing
committee could have readily seen this
from our bills that we're before the board.
The Courier's bid will cause the county
to pay $3.50 for each 500 lot OF reward
cards, or nearly one-half more than last
years price. AS to the old bids to which
Mr.. Wildey refers, we do not care at this
time to discuss them in detail, but mere
Iy to refer to a few items, and to say
that The True Northerner never charged
the county more than fair price for
work performed and no more than would
have been charged private customer.
Mr. Wildey says we charged $3.50 per
term for court calendars. The contract
was originally made with the Van Buren,
County Republican for so per term and
was transferred to The True Northerner
when the two offices were consolidated.
After making the contract, on order of
Judge Buck, some special calendars of
different form and size were made for
the court officers and $3.50 was charged
for them, which little il any more than
paid the actual extra expense. These are
not now required.
As to printing of proceedings of the
board, the last year the Northerner did
the work there were three sessions of the
board instead of two, and the June
session occupied nearly one
fifth of the book. The style of printing
was different entirely. Instead of loaded
BREWER, the book then was set in solid
nonpareil and contained 1912 ems to the
page; the Courier's last years book con
tanned but ,22S ems-31s times as much
ON page in the Northerners as in the
Courier's book. No wonderitcost p times
as much per page. IL Mr.. Wildey had
looked it up, he would have seen that
the work was let to The True Northern
er then on a competitive bid, the Courier
being a bidder. Mr.. Wildey says the
printing by The True Northerner cost
S67.62. There were three sessions of the
board that year Last year the county
paid $500 to the Courier for printing
the proceedings of tt0O regular sessions.
If the democratic board had openly or
dered the work done by the Courier
because of its politics, everyone would
have respected their candor and courage.
The weak subterfuge they have used to
accomplish the same result makes the
board ridiculous.
