The supreme court of the United
States will have to pass upon the con-
stitutionalitv of the laws disfranchis-
ing colored men in the South.
or the right of the states to exclude
~illIterates from the franchise there can
be M doubt. Suffrage is not a nat
ural right, but created by law. 1t
is possible that the Southern states
have the right to diSfranchiSe because
of race or color, but when they did
this, ny the constitution their repre-
sentation in congress should be re-
duced in proportion to the number Of
voters diSfranchiSed. The question
which will come to the supreme court
is whether or not a state which has
denied suffrage TO citizens because OF
race shall retain its present represen-
tation in congress and i'm the electoral
college. Or course, there will be the
usual talk about sectional differences
and the bitterness growing out of the
waf for the Union. but it cannot have
weight. now that diSfranchiSement
has become a matter of Interpretation
of the constitution bv the supreme
court Of the United States.

Killed in Guatemala.

Specials to the state department. at
Washington announce the killing of
William Fitzgerald, Of Grand Rapids,
Mich, by Godfrey Hunter, son of the
retiring United States minister.
Details Of che affair are lacking but
will no doubt be given in full in q few
days.
Young Fitzgerald was the son of
William Fitzgerald formerly of Plym-
outh. He is a nephew Of Mrs. John
G. Cummings of this city and has 9TH
er relatives here.
DR.. Hunter has been having much
trouble recently, and it is thought
that the shooting affray may have
been the result OF the recent relief of
DR.. Hunter from his post as minister.
DR.. Hunter has been steadily embroil-
ed with members OF the American
colony almost since the time he as
sunIed office in 1891. Lately. owing
to his connection with a government
railroad and other matters not sup
posed to be proper for a minister to
NEEDLE with, the pressure became SO
acute that the department was obliged
TO relieve him from Office. 1t may be
that Fitzgerald was connected in some
way with the charge against the min
lister.
Edward and William Fitzgerald,
uncle and father Of the young mar
killed, were born and grew to man
hood i'm Plymouth and both have been
prominent railroad men in Michigan,

What we neeH in this country are
laws against general hoggishness. To
speak plainly, there is a disposition on
the part of too large a number of in
habitantS of the United States to
corral the whole thing, which is hot
right. People should be satisfied with
a reasonable, or at least fair, share.
Otherwise the matter ought to be reg
ulated for them. There should be no
limit to individual or public enter
prise-no limit to human sagacity-
no limit to invention or discovery in
short to anything which can benefit
mankind and render the world better.
happier and more comfortable, but the
strongest kind Of clamps ought to be
put upon the fellows who, as we init
mated, want the earth, and especially
when they do not hesitate to secure
it by the foulest kind of means, re-
gardless of the comfort, convenience
or happiness of their fellow men.

The Illinois experiment station has
issued a pamphlet showing the results
of feeding shock corn and shredded
corn to cattle as compared with feeding
ensilage, and the report is in almost
every respect favorable to the silo.
There are only three points of twelve in
which the superiority of the silo TO the
old methods is not shown, and these
objections do not apply to Indiana.
A reporter of this paper visited the
farm of c. T. Mattingly, south of
Plymouth, a few days ago and found
Mr.. Mattingly well pleased with the
results of his two large silos.
The cattle eat every particle of the
feed from the silo. nothing is wasted
and this feed seems TO give the cattle
an appetite for clover hay and other
rough feed that causes them to eat
up clean everything that is fed them
and their food is SO assimilated
that a greater amount of fat is put on
at less cost than by the old methods
and the cattle are in finer condition
in every respect.
Taking the corn off the ground in
the early fall and putting in silo
leaves the ground perfectly clean for
a crop Of wheat or rye, and it a be
put in condition for sowing clover or
timothy with the wheat, which can
not be done when the shocks and corn
stubble are left on tie ground.
While on this farm we looked at the
growing wheat. rye and other crops
and were impressed with the fact that
the fly have done very little harm to
wheat that IA sown late.
Mr.. Mattingly keeps a variety of
stock and grows a variety of crops. He
is just now experimenting with alfalfa
and has one acre that looks well at
present, but it will take another year
TO determine whether it will pay. If
it. does and it can be grown success
fully on other farms in this vicinity, it
will add much to the value Gf lands.
MI. Mattingly keeps the best stock
of all kinds. He has no scrub stock.
His hogs are as good as can be found
in the county and he has kept them
free from cholera by his methods of
feeding them a variety Of food, chang
ing his pens often and furnishing pure
water. He raises large fiocks of
sheep and believes that they pay him
as well as anything else he laises
on the farm. We came away convinc-
ed that farming pays in Marshall

Since last Saturday fifteen railroads,
including the Lake Shore and New
York Central, have announced gen.
eral increases of wages TO employees Of
about 10 per cent and a number of 9TH
er roads have announced increases i'm
certain departments. The total in
crease of wages embodied in these
orders aggregates over s., SOC. 900, and
effect only men getting less than 5000
per month. This increase means the
distribution of these millions Of dol
laas in wages for the greater comfort
of mankind. This happens after
Nov. 4th, and capnOt be charged as a
campaign dodge, but is a glowing ex-
ample to the prosperity which is being
fosUered under republican policies.
This act clearly sets forth, also, that
corporations are not wholly soulless,
as some people profess to believe.

A Boom for Canada.

There is a rush of people from many
parts of the United States for Canada.
Enterprising Canadian land owners
and business men of this extensive
colony of Great Britain are responsible
for enticing United States farmers
and working men over there to help
develop the country and better their
own condition. Canada contains
thousands upon thousands of acres Of
land. of the richest kind, yet still in
its primitive shape, needing only YAM
kee push and persistence to bring it
up to a state of fruitfulnesss to be
made useful.
The Canadian boom is not in one
locality, but extends from Ontario in
the east to Manitoba in the far north
west. Fully 25, ZOO, 600 acres of land
are open for settlement, and much of
this land a be procured for so cents
an acre.

The certainty of Mr.. Cannon'S cleo
tion as speaker is assuring, because it
reduces the possibility of serious error
in policy on the part of the majority
in the next house to a minimum. 1t

able to HOLSTERS, not only becauseMr.
Cannon grew up on Indiana soil and
does not live SO far beyond the west

a claim TO him. but because it means

The editor Of a newspaper who is
afraid to speak out on a public ques-
ton, lest some subscriber will stop
his paper, will never secure a very
large circulation or an extensive influ-
ence for his journal. The editor who
expects TO please everybody will wind
up his career by pleasing nobody. The
first lesson Of independence for the
newspaper man is to keep his paper as
nearly right as is possible without fear
OF the Subscrl Der who stops his paper.

The Hand of God.

The hand Of God is upon the affairs
of men. When one considers the sell
fishneSS of the world and the inclina-
tion of mankind to follow the dictates
of greed and avarice, it is very appar-
emit that there is a restraining infiu-
ence at work. II it were not SO. the
race would have been eXtermlnated
long ago. Men would have made val
upon each other until the last man
was slain. 1t is not becoming to at
tempt TO point out specifically when
and where the divine agency has been
in~terposed. The book is as open to
one man as another. He may read
who will. Human agencies are not
ignored. Problems are worked out by
mankind. To maintain the right re-
quires a struggle. The right must be
battled for. Nothing wins that is not
pushed. But over and above all human
factor is the Divine Hand. Man plans
and works, but the hand Of God shapes
things finally. The mighty stream OF
human lite is flowing on through the
centuries and in spite Of human weak
ness and perversity the great plans OF
the Omnipotent are being carried out
and a fabric woven according to the
design of the Infinite One.-Lafay.

John S. Wise, ex-confederate SOL
der and son of the governor who
hanged John Brown, has asked the
federal court at Norfolk for a judicial
order restraining the c~anvassing board
from issuing a certificate TO the ten
citizens who claim to have been elect
ed to the next congress in that state.
His prayer is based upon the claim
that no valid election was held in Vir-
ginia on Nov. 4, his negro clients
having been unconstitutionaIly dis
franchiseo by the instrument purport-
ing to be the constitution of Virginia.
This action is brought with a view of
testing the legality Of the constitu-
ton of Virginia in the supreme court
Of the United States.

Narrow Escape From Death.

John Mather. aged 80 years, and
John Manchester, aged 80, while
walking across the Hatch farm,
south Of Elkhart. stepped into a bed
Of quick sand. Mather went in to the
chin. Manchester sunk to his waist,
but he struggled desperately and by
the aid of tibrouS grass succeeded in
reaching firm ground. With great
difficulty he succeeded in assisting his
aged comrade out OF the quick sand.
Owing TO Mr.. Mather'S extreme age
his condition is regarded as serious.

Our Fabulous Growth.

The Treasury Department has just
issued a monograph giving the statis-
tics of the growth OF this nation dur
ing the century from 1900 To 1900,
and the figures are of a nature to daz-
zle the imagination. The total wealth
of the country has grown from 81. 000,-
600, 600 i'm 1850 to an estimated sea-
900, 600. 900 in 1900, or nearly l,4OO
per cent. Our wealth per capita in
1850 was but 1907, while In 1890 it
was 1926. AT the beginning OF the
century the public debt was SIS per
capita; in 1910 it had fallen to 81
cents. Before the beginning Of the
civil war, in 1861, it was S2.74 but in
1865 it had risen to s76. 90. Since then
it has been steadily decreasing, until
this year 1t is but s12.97, not at all a
Troublesome burden tOa nation with
the vast wealth possessed by our own.
The amount vf money in circulOtion
is now S2S-4O per capita, the highest
point 1t has ever attained. The de-
positS in the savings banks OF the
land amount to 81, 59s. 094, $50, which
is a fair index of the prosperity enjoy
ed by the poorer classes, and the de-
pOSits in the national banks, which
are p~atrnnized by the wealthier classes,
have grown from $500, go, S73 in 1865
to SO, Ill, $40. 1876 this year.
