he went out West on ranch and
made quite a record as a cowboy.
Having grown strong he returned to
New York. He was elected to the
general assembly when quite young
and distinguished himself by taking
an active part in important legislative
work. In recognition of his legislative
activity and usefulness he was
nominated for mayor of New York
and defeated by one of the best men
in America, Abram S. Hewitt. Soon
after he was appointed police COM
missioner, in which position he dis
PLAYED marked ability and refreshing
courage. The next position to which
he was assigned was that of United
States civil service commissioner.
Under McKinley's first administration
he served as assistant secretary of the
navy until the breaking out of the
Spanish war, when he resigned and
organized his famous Rough Rider
regiment, with Col. Wood as its COM
mander. In 1900 he was nominated
for vice president against his will and
elected. He has led what he calls a
strenuous life," by which is meant
that he believes in hard work and lots
of it.-SOuth Bend Times.

A POPULAR UPRISING.

The house committee of the New
York Athletic club, non-political or
ganization and the leaning social club
of the city, has by unanimous vote
barred Hearst's New York Journal
from the files of the club. The rea-
son given is the recent anarchistic
utterances of the paper and its insults
to President Mckinley. The order
met with the full approval of the club
members.
At Mattewan, Fishkill Landing
and other Hudson river points dealers
handling Hearst's New York Journal
have been influenced by public opinion,
regardless of politics, to exclude that
paper from their stores and have
posted notices and published cards to
that effect.
Upon being asked by Hearst's New
York Journal for an expression upon
President Mckinley, James R. Day,
chancellor of Syracuse university, sent
the following note to that paper
Samuel Hicks, General Manager,
New York Journal-Dear Sir:-Will
you please never send to this Office any
matter bearing the imprint of the
New York Journal? / loath the

speakable wretch who shot our great

The death of Amasa Johnson re-
moves from Plymouth and Marshall
county man of strong character
whose influence for good has been felt
for more than third of century.
By his strict integrity and his steady
application to business be long ago
won and has always held the confid-
ence of the people to marked degree.
In his practice as lawyer he has con-
trolled the interests of his clients and
directed the affairs of estates in his
charge with never a suspicion of dis
honor upon him and as he grew old in
the community in which he establish
ed himself in his early manhood, SO
did respect for him increase.
His influence was felt in the church
and in his political party no less than
in business circles and it was never
said of him that he misused or abused
the confidence r9posed in him by his
fellows. He led moral and upright
life, his habits were notably regular
and industry, thrift and economy were
among his virtuOus traits. Amasa
Johnson will be missed but he has
left behind him a good name forever

A Case Of Feeding.

A Porter county farmer bought l6
head of cattle the first of May, weigh
ing 1882 pounds. In las days he
fed them $50 bushels of corn, two tons
of timothy and clover hay and 200
pounds of Acme food. They then
weighed "a, 1854 pounds, gain of 6, 434
pounds, and he sold them at So per
hundred. What he paid for the cat
tie is not stated, but it is evident that
the gain in weight alone hardly paid
for the corn. The $50 bushels of corn
at 40 cents would be 1884, and the
6, 432 pounds gained amounted to 1886
at Sc per hundred. 1t is probable
that the net profit on the deal was be-
tween $3.50 and $500.

HARMFUL YELLOW JOURNALS.

A careful inspection of the situation
seems to reveal the fact that sO-called
yellow journalism must answer for
porUion of the blame for the death of
our president. Anarchy is not a native
growth of a government SO free and
liberal as ours. It's hideous principles
have been imported from the slums of
Europe, and it finds poor soil for its
growth and encouragement in this
country. Nevertheless, the dangerous
doctrine hangs with rare tenacity and
persistency and defies all attempts to
effectively suppress it. And no other
reason seems so apparent for this
annoying and alarming condition of
affairs as the natural effect of extreme
yellow journalism, which fosters dis
cord and discomfort by its vicious and
uncalled for attacks upon the rich and
constant endeavors to engender and
increase the discontentment of the
common people. This and the suggest
iveness of hideous and exaggerated
cartoons which portray political lead
ers as abnormal monsters give tc
anarchy the encouragement which
keeps the spirit of resentment alive
with the result of just such affairs az
the one which now so deeply trouble:
this nation. Michigan City News.

A MIsAppREnENsION CORRECTED.

Misled by the statement of gen.
tlemen whose information we suppos-
ed to be correct but who was himself
misinformed we said the other day
that the Pennsylvania railway is Oc-
cupying city streets at several cross
ings without right and probably
through the negligence of early town
officials, from which, if true, it would
follow that the city could open such
crossings at any time. That state
ment being questioned we find the
fact to be that at the time the right
of way was acquired and the railway
constructed the property through
which it passes had not been plated.
The road was opened in 1856 and the
additions adjoining it in this were not
laid out until in 1868 and 1864.
While this is true the right of the
people to have all reasonable and nee
essary crossings along the line of the
road remains unaltered and the power
of the city to open such crossings is
ample anb complete. The difference
lies in the method OF procedure alone.
If the people deem it necessary, as it
undoubtedly is, to open Miner and
| Third streets across the railroad there
is way provided by law for the ac-
complishment of the purpose and that
law does not make the company SUI
perior to the city SO as, to require
the city to treat and negotiate with il
as though favor were being begged
and not right demanded.
The railroad company is for such
purpose merely a citizen of Plymouth,
no greater and no less, and its right
of-way is no better or more sacred
than any citizens lot. There is nc
good reason for the council to put
itself i'm the attitude of an humble
and obsequions suppliant, nor is there
any reason why the people should b.
afraid to demand any crossing they
may need.
The company'S representative ha'
lightly blown aside the Miner street
crossing and has beneficently con.
Sented to permit one to be put in a
Third street, provided the city viii
pay one-third the cost of that and ont
other and will close Fifth street

THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW.

The quiet and orderly trial of the
assassin Czolgosz in the same month
his atrOcious crime was committed
and in the city where it occurred is
one of the most impressive events in
history. An avowed anarchist, loath-
ed and despised by all good people,
he shot down the President of the
United States in manner almost in
conceivably heinous and without the
shadow of excuse, without one single
mitigating circumstance. And yet
he was arrested, indicted and tried,
every regular form of law was observed,
every opportunity for defense was
given. the trial court was a regularly
constituted court of the state and the
regular servants Of the law officiated,

tributed to no cause whatever that
makes it comparable with that of Nc
Kinley. Where does Metsker get his
inspiration for such an infamous no.
ton? Perhaps from the Southeast
Missourian, democratic paper pub
lished at New Madrid, Missouri,
which, after Mckinley was shot,
said:
Goebel, the martyred governor of
Kentucky, was a greater man in every
sense than Mckinley. Mckinley is
weak and vacillating, easily persuad-
ed, allows himself to be used as tool
of the moneyed powers, the conspira-
tors, the trusts. And why this great
amount of gushing over him as being
the greatest man in the nation, a
statesman of ability, and such rot?
That kind Of talk is familiar to
readers of the Metsker sheet, and be-
cause of the merited condemnation
that has come upon it for its filthy
and indecent treatment of President
it now admits was great and good it
begs for silence upon the subject and
whines that rebuke should cease and
it's political infamy should be forgot
ten. If it wished that politics
should be forgotten at this time OF
grief and mourning why did it repeat
the degrading comparison ofMcKinley
with Goebcl?

GOODNESS AN ELE-
MENT OF GREATNESS
(Chicago Evening News


In his discourse at the memorial
services in Washington last weekBish-
op Andrews touched upon one phase
of President McKinley's character
which it would De well for all to re-
member. Speaking of that element
of goodness which marked the late
president in all his personal as we'll as
his public undertakings, the speaker
said:
'sTo whatever we may attribute all
the illuStriouSneSS of this man, all the
greatness of his achievements-wh what
ever of that we may attribute to his
intellectual character and quality,
whatever of it we may attribute to
the patient and thorough study which
he gave to the various questions thrust
upon him for attention, for all his
successes as a politician, as states
man, as man of this great country
those successes were largely due to
the moral qualities of which l have
spoken. They drew to him the hearts
of men everywhere, and particularly
of those who best knew him."
In true republic it is the homely
virtues which endure. Brilliant in
tellectual qualities, shrewd judg-
ment, personal force, the imagination
which conceives and the ability which
executes great projects-all these are
helpful in guiding a man to high sue.

upon uprightneSs and integrity nc

or later every man must be tried by

they may be, they are unable to wiz
support because they are unable t.
hold confidence; they cannot inspire
trust because the qualities which truS
rests upon are wanting.

would have been unayailing, so far a!
winning high honor is concerned
without his qualities of goodness

In the last issue of The Commoner,
VIM. ]. Bryan makes an estimate of
President Roosevelt and speaks in
fiattering terms of his record as civic
reformer. Mr.. Bryan says: 'Theo-
dOre Roosevelt assumes the duties of
the Presidency under conditions cal
culated to call out the best that is in
him-conditions which will made
more ardent his natural desire to full
fill the expectations of his country
men. He enters Office more free from
political obligations than he could
have done had he received a party
nomination after a long contest. Mr..
Roosevelt has high conception of
civic virtue, and his opponents will
probably find more to criticize in his
doctrine than i'm his methods. There
will be no disposition to PREJUDICE
him, but an earnest wish that the
governmental policies for which he
and his party stand may be tested
upon their merits"
