A New Line Of Travel.

The coming of Prince Henry, the
New York Commercial Advertiser
thinks, may be indicative of the
change with reference to royalty and
national representatives toward this
country Already there is strong
likelihood that the King of the
Belgians, who has large investments
here, may visit US The dowager
Queen Margherita, of Italy, will also
come soon, while there have been in
timatiOns that even Emperor William
may visit US. Up TO the present time
only two reigning sOvereigns have ever
come TO this country. and one might
say that they were not the real thing.
One was Dom Pedro, Of Brazil, who.
the astute William Of Germany said.
made the mistake of trying TO be
democrat on throne. He was here
during our centennial exhibition. But
he went about in a manner SO entirely
democratic as To be little or on ac-
count as a royal attraction. The 9TH
er was liking Calico as Kalikaua.
King of Hawaii. was called. The New
York paper thinks that royal person
ages have avoided this country mainly
from the belief than their rank would
not be respected here and that they
would be subjected to various discom-
forts and annoyances by well meant
yet diSagreeable acts of obtrusiveness.
If further thinks that if Prince
Henry's itinerary is managed with
consideration and good judgement
there is no reason why the American
tour should not become popular one
with mOnarchies.
We agree with that, but we do not
agree with the first suggestion. While
in a democratic government there is
likely to be more or less of uninten-
Ill
is at the same time an inherent pride
simply because of the sense of demo-
oratic equality. But We do not be-
lleye that Europe's royalty has any
such belief. Crowned heads have
never come this way because there has
been little in this country to attract
them. Natural scenery is nothing.
1t is the work Of men and their insti-
buttons that are attractive, and thus
far We have not counted for enough in
the world to be taken into considera-
ton. We are counting in that way
now and it is not improbable that as
a result royal visitors may be not rare
in future. Indianapolis News.

GREAT MEN DIFFER.

Hon. Clay w. Metsker, of Plym-
outh, Marshall county's most dis
tinguished democrat, thinks Congress-
man Wheeler's speech abusing Prince
Henry is one of the greatest speeches
ever delivered and should be the bat
tie cry of the democratic party.
Hon. John b. Stoll of South Bend.
has different opinion. He says:
The democratic press and democrats
generally will put themselves squarely
on record as disapprovlng and repudia-
ting his uncalled-for, ill-mannered,
boorish reference to Prince Henry and
incidentally to the German people in
general. Halfway apologies will not
answer the purpose. There is simply
no sort Of excuse for the coarse and
brutal explosives of the Kentucky con-
gresham. His diatribe was a dis
graceful exhibition of narrowess that
should be beneath the dignity of any
individual occupying seat in the
American congress. -

Reciprocity Has Slim Chance.

A subcommittee of the foreign re-
latiOns committee OF the senate has
finally decided that the reciprocity
treaties with various foreign countries
may be acted upon, and as the full
committee approves of the finding the
treaties will now be brOugh before
the senate for ratification, though
they may not be ratified.
The problem of construction was not
an easy one because of the wording of
the Dingley Jaw. In the reciprocity
section of that law occurs the qualify
ing expression, "within the period of
two years from and after the passage
OF this act, which seems TO set a
limit TO the time within which treaties
may be negotiated. There is also
another sentence which refers to the
approval of congress as condition
precedent TO the establishment of the
treaties, and which has been the sub
ject OF dispute between those who be-
lieved that the senate had the sole
right TO pass upon treaties and those
who held that the condition was abSo-
Lutte.
The committee pronounces against
the time limit, but for the condition.
50 that a double ratification will be
necessary. Hence the prospect has
gloom in the foreground and the
gloom beyond, for the senate contains
a large fighting contingent whose first
thought is TO kill reciprocity.-Times

WI viii Come to Indiana.

Congressman Lands has extended
TO Minister WI pressing invitation
to come to Indiana to spend several
days or weeks, according to his con-
venience. In delivering this invita-
tion Lands made a little speech in
which he said to WI, in substance,
that he has seen the great cities and
distinguished people of the United
States, he has rubbed against pomp
and wealth and now he should come to
the Ninth congressional district of
Indiana and mingle with ''the real
people-the bone and sinew of the ma
tion-the people of the farms and
small towns. WI was pleased with
the invitation and Lands thinks he
will accept.

A Just Observation.

Elkhart Truth: Street SITUATIONS
are among the most pleasant of polite
amenities. While it is not necessary
to start down the street with head
inged and constantly bowling, even
that is preferable TO the frigid, far
away look adopted by the gilded aristo-
crat. A friendly nod, and genial
face are indications of a kindly, SYM
pathetic nature. Icebergs do not
reflect sunshine, although they glitter,
nor will a cold, hard-hearted persons
attract friends or supporters. 1t is
always well TO remember that pleas
ant smile is the most winning Of nat
ure's attributes, and he who wears it
will never want for prosperity.

Island is Sinking.

Prof. William E. Ritter, of the
university of California, has made the
discovery that Santa Catalina island,
the famous pleasure resort, is slowly
sinking into the Pacific ocean. While
dreCgin for marine animals on the
coast of the island he found positive
evidence in rocks and shell fish that
the islands beach had once extended
three-quarters of a mile from the
present low tide limit, He estimates
that the island is now 270 feet lower
than it was formerly. This movement
is apparently going on now, while the
main land coast opposite Catalina is
slowly rising.

Surrender of Filipinos.

What is believed to have been the
largest existing band Of insurgents in
Batangas pr vince has surrendered to
Lieut.. Charles ID. Rhodes. of the Sixth
Cavalry, at Banah. Major Amoranto,
two captains, six lieutenants and
ninety-eight Filipino soldiers gave
themselves up and also five revolvers,
sixty-six rifles and two thousand
rounds of ammunition. Rhodes had
been hunting the insurgents from
place to place for weeks and continu-
ally destroying their supplies. They
were virtually starved into surrender.
The skeletons of five soldiers ri the
Thirty-ninth infantry, killed in Nov
ember, 1900, have been recovered.
They will be shipped to the United
States.

The action of the republican house
caucus providing for a special COM
mittee to investigate and inquire into
the election laws in the different states
with a view of ascertaining if in any
the right to vote is denied to any male
citizen except for crime, is triumph
for Representative Crumpacker. The
method of procedure, it is true, is diff
ferent from that provided for in bis
bill, but the principle is the same.
When Mr.. Crumpacker announced his
purpose he had so little encourage
ment TO proceed that many men would
have abandoned the case, but with
him it was matter involving the in
tegrity of the. constitution and the
fair representation of the states in the
house and in the Electoral College,
and therefore could not be abandoned.
From the first the proposition to in
quire into existing conditions has
gained ground steadily. Those who
feared that such action might be re-
sented by the South, where states
have deliberately disfranchiSed the
negro, came to see that the rights Of
the negro in the South are not in
volved SO much as that violation of
the constitution which gives states
representation in the house for hun
dreds of thousands of people who have
been disfranchised on account of race.
The right of states to thus disfranchiSe
is not raised by the proposed inyestiga-
ton, but it is designed to ascertain if
there has been such disfranchise-
ment on account of race that the
representation i'm the house should in
justice and in accordance with the pro-
visions of the constitution be reduced.
1t is not question of voting as some
would have it that determine repre-
sentation, but of population. If a
portion of the population is disfran-
chised because of the diSfranchiSement
of the males of the voting age because
the race, that portion should be de-
Quoted from the entire population be-
cause it is not represented. Such be-
ing the case there can be no ground
for sectional or other bitterness. In

Indiana Farm Yields Gold.

Colonel Calvert, OF Cleveland, Ohio.
who went to Brown County last sum-
mer and purchased land for gold min
ing purposes, looking for a site for
his. machinery, and at the head of a
small stream, where the water had
formed small pool by falling over
rock he found black sand which has
proved to contain gold. He has now
built dam below the pool in order to
catch the gold washed down, and he
intends to start to mining on a much
larger scale than originally contempla-
ted. Mr.. Calvert unearthed $500
worth on bis farm last fall.

The Indiana representatives in con-
gress are naturally taking great deal
of interest in the congressional con-
gressional conventions in their various
districts. Every Indiana congressman
is a candidate for reelection. Con-
gresham Cromer was the first TO be
renominated, and it was generally con-
coded that he would have the hardest
struggle OF all of the Indiana con-
gressmen at the nominating conven-
ton; but his ingenuity and shrewd-
ness finally pulled him through.
Cromer is not looked upon at states
man, but he is regarded as an adroit
and diplomatic politician.

converted in childhood to the Chris
tian belief she came to America after
having refused to marry the man Of
her parents choosing. DIR. Dwight

welfare. found place for her in his
noted school. Having finished her

came a trained nurse. While en-
gagged in her professional duties in
the Adirondacks, she became acquaint-
ed with Mr.. Tsilka, Macedonian,

tion of their training the couple were
married and went to Bulgaria. where
they at once entered on missionary
work.

Former United States Senator
Thurston, of Nebraska, made an argu-
ment before the Senate committee on
immigration against the proposed
Chinese exclusion bill. He said that
the regulation of Chinese immigration
should be left TO diplomatic negotia-
ton in order to prevent irritation,
which already was such as TO affect
the Chinese legation in the United
States and possibly the Chinese court
itself. He conuended that the Chi
nese government would be willing to
cooperate with US in meeting our de-
sires, and said that it is far preferable
TO approach the solution of the prob
lem in that way in view of the fact
that we are asking of China more
than ever before, while we are in
position to give less. He also said
that, while he did not favor coolie
labor, he was sure the Chinese had
been most valuable factor in the
development Of the West, aid that
they had not interfered i'm anv way
with the labor operations CT the
American people.

Captain Clark, of the Oregon, the pru-
dent, intelligent and watchful officer
who brought that ship $4,000 miles
and added her to the feet about Cuba
in condition to take prominent
part in the victory at Santiago. The
Oregon always had fires under her
boilers, and, though not regarded as a
speedy ship, the speed she developed
at Santiago enabled her to take a
prominent part in the fight because
she had a commander who always
kept her in trim for action. The dis

abusing Captain Clark

not agree on a bill for the relief of
Cuba within reasonable time the
President will send special message
to congress setting out once more the

about. The committee evidently

Governor Cummins, of Iowa, thinks
that there will have to be federal re-
gulation of trusts, that trusts should
be national drawing their powers from
the general government and respon-
slble to it, and that they should never
be capitalized beyond the amount of
the money actually invested in the
enterprise. Further than this-and
here he agrees with Mr.. BabcOck and
many other republicans-he would
withdraw all tariff protection from
monopolistic trusts.
