Aggressive Democratic Fiaht.

In the first district the democrats are
making one of the most aggressive fights in
the history of Indiana politics. Represen-
tative Hemenway, the republican candidate
for reelection Is alive to the situation, and
Is bringing every argument to bear to hold
his supporters in line. Opposed to Hemen-
way is John Spencer of Evansville Spen-
Ger is a product of the gold wing of the
party, and is not altogether pleasing to the
silver element. Not only has he this handi-
cap with which to contend but to secure
election he must also raise sufficient votes
scented by a district that is normally repub
lican. Hemenway Is relying largely upon
his former record in Congress, which had
not little to do with the return of S700,00
to the state treasury, and with the estab-
lishment of numerous rural routes. While
Spencer is making a vigorous campaign
Hemenway's reelection appears at this
time to be practically assured.
In the second district. however, Con-
gresham Miers will be elected by the DEM
ocrats by an increased majority oJer John
Cheney, his republican opponent. At the
republican state headquarters this district
is conceded to Miers, and, while Cheney Is
doing all in his power to cut down the ma
jority of his democratic opponent, the lat
ters record in behalf of union labor and
the pensioners Of his district has given him
strong and substantial support
The third district Is also numbered among
the democratic securities. There is but lit
tie question of the return of Congressman
Zenor.
In the fourth, Congressman Griffith, while
he may not add materially to his demo-
cratic majority, undoubtedly will secure his
election.

JAPANESE ARE sUpERsT1rIous.
Quaint Beliefs Still Prevalent in Land
of the Mikado.

In old Japan people were sometimes
buried alive-or, cftener, allowed them
selves to be buried alive-at the begin
ming Of very difficult piece of engi-
neering work. in order to impart
strength ard life to the undertaking.
The victims of this horrible supersti-
tion were known under the title of ''hU-
man pillars and many quaint and
weird stories have been woven around
this custom, and are recounted to this
day by japanese grandmothers to their
grandchildren. But no one would i'm
agine that any grown up Japanese of
the present day would seriously believe
In these tales, much less offer to be the
subject of one of them; yet this is ex-
actly what TWO persons have just done.
The Buddhists of Osaka have recently
been collecting subscriptions for the
erection of a big belfry with monster
bell at Tenncji Temple. in the suburbs
of that city. An old lady fervent
Buddhist. living in the south island OF
Japan, happening to hear of the project,
had letter written to the temple In
timating that she was willing to offer
herself as sacrifice of the human
pillar" variety IL the temple authori
ties did not object. OF course they did
not object, says the London Leader.
The second enthusiast was an ex-
priest of Osaka, forty-nine years OF age.
On the evening of the 18th instant
policeman attached to the Tennoji police
station noticed the figure OF an elderly
person proceeding toward the temple.
The figure was clad in white, and was
carrying on its back q coffin. The latter
fact aroused the suspicious OF the po-
liceman, on whose approach the figure
attempted to run. but was overtaken and
led to the station. An examination OF
the coffin revealed Il singuarly beautiful
old sword aud a mortuary tablet. A let
ter addressed to the head priest OF the |
temple. which was discovered on the |
person OF the prisoner, explained ex- |
actly what the latter was about to DO
The man. on being interrogated, calmly |
confessed that he had resolved to COM
nit suicide in the temple premises in
order, as he said. ITO vitaliZe the collec
lion OF the bell funds, and TO give |
strength to the belfry on its compile
-ion." He was perfectly sane and not IL |
iterate, and the warm remons'rances |
,f the police and the temple priests sue
,eeded In making him promise to aban
Ion his rash project. He was conse-
luently released, but he insisted on
eaving behind him his beautiful sword.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Conditions Bearish With Liver
pool Easier.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-Wheat conditions
were apparently as bearish today as
they were bullish yesterday. Liverpool
was easier on reported rains in Ar
gentina and on heavy Russian offerings
Broomhall estimated the worlds ship
ments for the week at over 10000. 600
bushels, of which 6,276. 600 bushels were
American. All other leading wheat CEN
ters winter and spring, were relatively
weaker than this.
Estimated receipts for Monday, 240
cars. There was not a car of contract
wheat in today's receipts of 1872 cars,
although there were fifty cars contract
inspected out of private elevators. Cash
and September wheat were relatively
the weakest items of the list in all mar
kets.
Corn was lower, although September
held relatively firm, and was in steady
demand all day from small and seat
tered shorts. Fine weather is predicted
for Sunday and Monday, and the an
ticipated frost last night failed to ar
rive. There was a little too much rain
in Iowa overnight, but otherwise the
weather was much better everywhere.
Local receipts were larger than expect
ed, at 1875 cars, of which thirty-five were
contract. Estimates for Monday were
lis cars. Local receipts for the week
exceed the shipments, and there will be
a small accumulation in local stocks.
Oats-There was further selling by
the people who have been prominent on
the bull side for many months. 1t
rather looked as though they had re-
versed their position permanently. Cash
oats were lower, and buying slow. Local
receipts were $50 cars, of which nine
we're contract. Estimates for Monday,
$40 cars.
Provisions started out strong. because
of very light receipts of hogs every
where. There were only $500 at the
yards, with prices there showing a fur
ther advance of to 10 cents. Aggre-
gate arrivals at Western points were
only $4,000, against $4,000 year ago.
There was fairly good commission house
buying early. and foreign markets were
slightly firmer on cash stuff. Never
theless the weeks shipments were
lighter from fere and the cash trade
only fair. The sale of line of 5000
pork by a commission firm dis
number of bulls, and caused
some reaction from top prices. 1t was
presumed that one of the local pack
rs was selling.

A RENOUNCED TITLE.
King of England Was Once King Of
France.

The predecessors OF Edward VII up
till the time OF George III bore the title
of King of France. 1t was on November
), 1900, that a change in the title OF the
reigning monarch of England was pro-
posed to take effect upon January fol-
lowing. 1t was settled by prvy coun-
Gil that In consequence of the Irish
Union. the royal style and title should
be changed from George III. by the
grace OF God. of Great Britain, France.

years, since the forty-third year of the

Elizabeth 15S3-l603) always bore the
title king of France asserting that
II by the action of the Salic law she
could not be queen she would be king.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The statemen

showed a decrease in the loan account Of
$5,665,2o0, as compared with minimum
estimate this morning of $4.O000OO.
The decrease in. deposits-S12. .60o, BOO

In that item a week ago, and an in
crease in circulation of S629, 900 was
shown
The discrepancy in the loss in the

however, and the total reduction in that
item-ss, ,795, ,S00-proved too large to be
more than partly offset in the surplus
reserve. which showed decrease o.
$5.645,725.
This brings the total down to s4.-

year, and surplus reserve two years
ago of s2s.O56,25O.
Coincidently, the market for sterling
exchange, which rarely shows much
change on Saturday, reacted sharply
below yesterdays level, which was ap-
proximately the lowest of this season.
Continental exchange also weakened.
Weakness in Exchange.
The expectation of firmer money rates
next week partly occasioned the de-
cided weakness in exchange, but the con-
siderable increase in tie exports of
wheat this week. as compared with
the previous week. and heavy offerings
of grain and cotton bills were also i'm
portant factors.
The conditions described caused the
reiteration of theories of probable i'm
ports of gold from Europe in the near
future. The apprehension of a decided
ly unfayorable bank statement held the
railroad list considerably in check in
the first hour. and prices showed some
irregalarity de to selling for both ac-
counts.

GERMAN COMMERCE
LARGELY INCREASED
Report of Ambassador White
on Subject.
Improvement in Industrial Conditions
During the Past Six
Months.

Ambassador White has sent to the
loficial commercial statistics of Ger
many. He reports an Improvement in
the industrial situation during the past
six months.
The total exports of the empire dur
ing the six months ended June 80 last
amounted to l5.7s9. .131 tons. against 15.-
Ols. 200 tons in 1901 and Il, ,S67 ,O60 tons in
1900. These were valued at $544 ,240 $50,
against s5OS,372 ,76O for 1901 and $685.,
6g9, JIG for 1900.
Diminution in Imports.
The imports during the same period
show a diminution amounting to 1861,
4S6 tons, against 20.76S,497 tons for 1901
and 20, $50 1896 tons for 1900. These were
valued at s675, ,95S.OsO. against $554.965,
IG6 fer 1901 and $7l1, ,917 1896 for 1900. II
Is said that the exports were to a large
extent disposed of for prices less than
obtained in the home markets.
The Germany railways show increased
earnings from freight during the last
six months, but diminished earnings
from passenger traffic as compared with
the corresponding period of last year.
Their total earnings were $4,000 below
the estimated earnings as given in this
years budget.
The import and excise duties show de-
creases during the quarter April to June.
Usually, however, this is the smallest
quarter of the financial year.
The Sugar Tax.
The chief diminutions were in the i'm
port duties and the sugar tax. AS to
the revenues from other taxes. the tax
upon the transfer of securities produced
sa,047. as against s2.023 in the estimates.
The lottery-ticket tax produced 81 1852,
as against S2.61S in the estimates. The
stamp tax on bills of lading produced
$23S more than the estimates. The posts
and telegraphs department shows 1888
more than for the corresponding quarter
of last year. but $1.l90 less than the esti
mates. This is also usually the smallest
quarter for this department..

A Plea for Harmony.
iaI to the New Dominion.

Special to the New Dominion
mo matter how much we want to
fight the opposition, as long as we
have scrapping going on among our
selves, we are not going to figure
very much in the returns.
The above paragraph appeared in
the editorial column of the New Do
MINIoS last Thursday, and ought to
be kept at the head of its column
during the entire campaign-for we
must not fight each other. The en-
envy is enough for us. United we
stand, divided we fall" We want
no Cleveland, no Bryan, but United
Democracy, and no relief from Re
publican Trusts, which tax the poor
for the benefit of the monied class.
We had been thinking of writing
at some length on this subject but
the above item is brief, and can well
be remembered. Let the enemy have
their Hannas and Quays, but we
want no bosses in ours. Let ours
be '1of the people, by the people and
for the people"
One issue is beng raised, viz,
election of Senators by the people.
The election of the u. S. Senators
by legislatures is about the last fea-
ture of the old form of government
that remaius and even If Republi
can would like to see it maintained,
provided the office could seek the
man as it used to be, and not the
man seek the office as now. We old
fogies think the old way the best.
We used to vote our sentiments; now
we must vote party, and we can't
always feel that we are doing what
is for our best interests.
We must be conservative and take
in the best interests of all the peo-
pie, if we would have the indepen-
dent element of the people on our
side.
Just now we may have much to
gain by a careful consideration of
the situation.
We want our best, most conserva-
tive and reliable men on our tickets
this Fall, men that have the conf
dence of the tax paying, rather than
the tax using element of our people.
