The resignation of DR.. Andrew ID.
White as ambassador to Germany ends
a public life of great usefulness to his
country. He did the practical work
in establishing Cornell university, be-
ing its first president. In 1871 he
was a member of General Grants San
Domingo commission, which favored
the annexation Of the island. From
1878 to 1881 he was American minis
ter to Berlin. From 1892 to 1894 he
was American minister to Russia. He
has been our ambassador to Berlin
since 1897. In this capacity he has
rendered this country excellent SER
vice in correcting the miSrepreSenta-
tions which grew out of the Spanish
war and the alleged attitude of Ger
many to the United States. 1t is re-
markable that while he DEVOTED so
much time to public affairs he so
wisely directed the building up of
Cornell University as to make it the
first in broadening its course of study
so as to inc lude technical studies.

Deepest Nine IN the World.

1t is claimed, and with reason, that
the Red Jacket shaft of the Calumet &
Hecla copper mine, In northern Mich
igan, is the deepest in the world. 1t
has taken nine years of day and night
work to sink and has cost 90, SOC, 900.
This shaft is vertical, but all the 9TH
er shafts Of the Calumet & Hecla fol-
low the dip of the lode. Work on it
was started in 1889, Immediately after
the last of the three great under
ground fires in the older workings of
the mine, which did damage of more
than 81 900, 900. Work has been con-
tinued upon it since that time and
the shaft stands without parallel In
mining. 1t. contains six compart-
ments, each equal In size to an ordi-
nary mining shaft, four OF which are
used for hoisting rock and lowering
timber. One shaft is utilized for the
ladderways, and the sixth and last
compartment crrries the wires and
pipes for telephones, light, power,
water aud compressed air. Industries
and Iron.

Prices OF Beef and Corn.

Corn forms the barometer of the
cattle market. If it is scarce and
high priced cattle will be scarce and
high priced. The stock raiser who
pays 60 cents per buShel for corn has
to get big price for his cattle in
order to reimburse himself. 1t does
not pay to feed small, understood stock
with high priced corn and scarcity
of medium beef results. That brings
Grange" cattle into the market at an
increased price, and thus we have a
high market all around. The same
thing is largely true as to hogs.
With the coming of the new corn
crop prices will begin to fall, and if
that crop is as large as some observers
believe it will be the price of beef
will 60 lower than it has been for
wears.

A Farmers knowledge of Law.

Farmer Shaw of Orange county
owned sheep-killing dog, but was ig-
norant Of the nature of the brute.
The other morning his household pet
was caught in the act of killing sheep,
while seven carcasseS were scattered
around, and he shot the dog, and then
presented bill to the county commits
sioners for the eight sheep killed. The
commissioners heard his story and
laughed long and loud over the propo-
sition to pay a man for sheep owned
by himself and killed by his own dog.
Then the farmer began exploiting his
knowledge of the law and the COM
missioners concluded to call in the
county attorney. The attorney adj
vise6 the commissioners to settle, and
the farmer thereupon drew pay for
his sheep killed by bis own dog. 1t is
an application of the law to which the
commissioners were not accustomed
and the board is still unreconciled. -

The Brookville American of re-
cent issue declared that sit is puz-
fling some Of our reorganized demo-
cratic editorial brethren to make a
satisfactory disposition of their Bryan
free silver record. II they put it in
the party junk shop it is liable to be
hauled out ana exhibited with APP
propriate trimmings by curio- hunters.
The editor of the Indianapolis Senti-
mel has disposed of his'n by declaring
that he has always been bimetallist
but never a two EN- dash fool. This is
not altogether satisfactory for the rea-
son that he does not explain what he
is when he is a bimetallist, which
seems to convey the imputation that
he is what he disclaims. We hope our
respected brother will clear this mat
ter up before some unwary satellite
stumbles into the same admission. We
do not believe any Of them are two
EN- dash fools. They are just sort o.
dazed like.

Bryan has changed his mind again.
He recalls the statement made a few
days ago that he would not refuse a

never to be candidate again under
any circumstance 1 have no plans
looking to the future nomination for
any office. 1 am perfectly content to

Australia is yet affected with a
drought which began eight years ago.
Ordinary farming succumbed long ago.
Next the ranges were parched SO that
the cattle and sheep died by hundreds
Of thousands. Last, the great mining
interests were smitten, because they
cannot be worked without water.
The stagnatiOn of the interior has
caused cities on the coast to adopt an
unprecedented retrenchment, en-
ployes being discharged by thousands.
Australia for years was the growing
source of Great Britain meat supply,
but this unprecedented drought has
cut it off. thus compelling larger de-
mand upon this country with its really
decreasing supply.

Sold for Thirty Cents.

Harvey Tallerday, of Elkhart, be-
gins to think that his wife and Nor
gan Gordon were in earnest when
they "called his bluff" five weeks ago.
He went home Unexpectedly and
found Mrs. Tallerday entertaining
Gordon, but he didn't grow hysterical
and, after few flippant remarks, de-
clared he would sell "the woman" for
thirty cents. Gordon asked the wo-
man if she was willing to be sold,
and when she gave the affirmative
reply he handed over to the spouse
the sum of thirty cents Gordon and
Mrs. Tallerday then departed, and
Tallerday hasn't heard from them
since.

The immigration Army:

1t is not the large number of i'm
migrants coming to this country that
is cause of anxiety so much as the
quality. The number Of immigrants
during the fiscal year which ended
with June was 64S,74 When the
population of the United States is
spoken OF in tens of millions, i'm
migration figures of 1902 appear in
significant, but they are larger than
the population of thirteen states.
Last years immigration was more
than one-fourth of the population of
Indiana in 1900. 1t iSa sixth more
than the population of Colorado, four
times the population of Idaho and
100, 900 more than double the popula-
tion of Utah. If the number of the
immigrants of 1902 should be taken
from the population Of Name the
state would have less than so, 900 and
would lose three members in the house
of representatives. Every one of the
male immigrants who came during
the fiscal year 1902 could vote in In
diana in November, 1908, should he
reside in the state six months. Fort
unately, the states to which most of
these immigrants 60 require full nat
uralizatiOn before voting.
If One-fourth of 64S, TAB immigrants
should 60 to any other country in the
world in a single year they would so
overtax the labor market as to force
thousands to pauperism, yet during
the past two years the United States
received 1,136, 661 immigrants, 60 per
cent of whom are common labOrerS or
servants. For the present, in these
prosperous times, which have con-
tinued since the first of 1898, this
country has employment for all those
people, but what will be the condition
when these vast armies Of common
laborers shall be no longer needed?
The darkest feature of this influx of
foreigners from many countries and
with alien tongues is that 1871 per
cent. OF those who have been coming
to US the past two years over fourteen
years Of age are illiterate. These ig-
norant people, so long the victims of
misrule, are always against lawful
authority. OF the 63s,s43 immi-
grants, 67.S per ceLt are destined for
the states of Illinois, Massachusetts,,
New York and Pennsylvania, the
states of the large cities. They
come to US, "a per cent of them. more
than four-fifthS, either without &C.
cupation or able to do only the rough
est labor, without any adequate
means to care for themselves, the av-
erage amount of money per capita
being SIG. They must accept the first
labor offered at the lowest figure.
They have been used to take the
places of the lower grades of labor in
mines in Pennsylvania when there have
been strikes. The turbulent element
at the present. time in the anthracite
region are foreigners who have been
taken there from time to time to take
the places of strikers.
The wonder is that congress cannot
be made to see the peril which this
enormous influx of ignorant foreign
ers involves in the event of Industrial

DESCRIPTIONS OF GUAM EARTH
QUAKE

A graphic description of the earth
quake which occurred on the island of
Guam on September % has been re-
ceived by Mr. Atilla Cox from his son,
Leonard M. Cox, civil engineer in the
United States navy, Mr.. Cox has been
stationed at Agana in the island Of
Guam, where the force of the earth
quake was felt most severely. Neither
Mr.. Cox nor his wife was injured Mr..
Cox was at work with a surveying
party at the time. All the members of
it were thrown to the ground by the
shock.
Mr. Coxs letter is as follows:
