1t is more than probable that the
ship subsidy bill which passed the SEN
ate will be slightly amended and will
pass the house. Stripped of its
features it is in accord
with the republican platform, and it
has always been a republican habit to
fulfill the pledges made in the plat
forms of ,natlonal conventions.

The President and Secretary Root de-

A democratic club in Chattan
district.

A democratic club in Chattanooga,
Tenn, dined in honor of w. j. Bry-
ans birthday, passed resolutions en-
dorsing the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms and favOring the nomina-
tion Of Bryan in 1904. This leads a
democratic paper to say that there are
many democrats that do not at all APP
preciate the seriousness Of their
party's situation. They must know
that no political party can survive
constant defeat. During the last few
years the drift has been to the repub-
lican party, not only because it has
been right on the paramount question.
but also because the ordinary man
gets tired of being on the losing side

Daniel McDonald's History of Mar

the author thought he was forever rid

lie, says that the paper was founded

and III. B. Dickson: Dan had nothing
to do with it until 1857, and in that
time it had experienced several
changes of management. Dan then
became s'local editor" as he terms it,
or in other words, ''devil." In No

Mcdonald, having again acquired the
ownership and seeing no chance to
make the thing pay, gave the paper
TO his three sons as free gift and
they struggled with it until August,
1859, when they failed and VIM. J.
Burns took charge: but during this
time Dan was never the editor, NJ. A.

pacity except when relieved by Platt.
Dan never had any further connection
with the paper until he bought half

OF COMMERCIAL IMPORTANCE.


agricultural states, Indiana possesses
an abundance of natural resources the
extent and value of which have come
to be realized in a commercial way
only within few years. A workable
coal area of 1000 square miles, an oil
field yielding nearly 5000. 900 barrels
of crude petroleum annually. vast
qusrrles of the finest building stone
on the continent, shale and clay in un-
limited quantities and mari and lime
stone sufficient TO supply Portland
cement for the entire country, and
mineral waters destined to become
more valuable than the noted waters
of Europe are among the matchless
resources of the state that will bring
and are now bringing, capital and
population from other states and ma
tions. The admirable series of official
reports issued by State Geoiogist
Blatchley, covering these mines of
material wealth and treating exhaust
lively of the birds, fishes, fossils and
flora of the state, have contributed
directly and largely to attract invest
ments within our borders and they are
not excelled in character and import
ance by any similar reports of other
states.
Newspaper reports from the capital
state that the current report of this
department is held up by the state
printing board and will not be pub
lished until next year. The reason
given is that there is not money
enough to print it, and this in the
face of the fact that the appropria-
ton is larger by &c. 900 than before.
1t is safe to say that, the statues
excepted, there is no publication
issued by the state that is of as great
importance to the people at large as
these reports of the department of
natural resources and there is no state
publication that is more eagerly await
ed by the business interests. Prompt
ness of distribution is of the utmost
importance and instead Of postponing
these reports they should be issued in
balletin form as rapidly as the parts
are completed and the legislature
should make provision for that plan of
publication.
The volume now held up has to do
with the mineral waters, petroleum
products, coal statistics and other
wealth-produeing assets in the state
and it contains information of much
value. A great part of that value de-
ponds upon the immediate accessible
ity of the information and will be lost
by delay. 1t is far more urgent that
men having capital to invest should be
put in the possession of exact and
complete information concerning the
opportunities afforded by this state
than that large quantities of worth
less lists of notarles, annual catalogues
of back number state officials from the
first incumbents down, out-of-date
messages of governors, and such trash,
should be supplied with compli-
ments" to persons who do not need or
want them. If the printing board
has prodigally exhausted its increased
appropriation for the present year it
should now anticipate the action of
the nsxt general assembly enough to
get Prof. Blatchley's report into the
hands of the people, for it will beyond
question. produce very material bene-
fits.

Burlington Express at ST. Joseph.
st. Joseph, May 27.-An attempt
was made to hold UP Burlington ex-
press train No. 26 last night at Roy's
Branch, about one mile north of the
city limits. The train left Omaha at
5 o'clock and is due to arrive at the
Union passenger station here at 9:15.
Engineer Fred Mudgett was startled
by the explosion of two torpedoes,
but looking ahead saw nothing to in
dicate danger. He ran 200 yards past
the point where the torpedoes eX-
ploded and looking back saw red
light swinging near the track. Con.
ductor Samuel 7. Tatum at once di-
yined the presence Of train robbers
and signaled the engineer to proceed
which he did cautiously in order to
avoid consequences Of possible error
in judgment. The train arrived at
the Union station ten minutes late
The police department wss notified
and a switch engine was at once
pressed into service by Superintend
ent G.. M. Hohl, who took strong
posse of policemen to the scene. The
robbers had disappeared, taking with
them the red lantern. Roy's Branch
has been the scene of many successful
hold-ups. Pat Grove and his gang
are believed to have stopped the two
trains here seven years ago and looted
the express cars.

(Colo.), one Of the minority members

the Filipinos since December, 1898.
He said the editorials quoted by For.
yaker some days ago had been written
prior to that time. He discussed the
whole Philippine question and several
lively colloquies occurred during the
