Too Much Politics and Personal Interest
Displayed in Congress.

Tho Congress that adjourned four
weeks ago and the special Senate
session that adjourned two weeks
ago, have receded far enough from
mediate view to permit prospective
study. There is not much to be said
in praise or envy. This Congress
was not much more IDLE or less re-
sponsive to urgent duty, than other
Congresses since the Civil War per-
iOd. The President, had marked out
Il splendid program of work to be
done, but Congress was remarkably
dilatory aud nonchalant. He urged
chat the Interstate commerce Com
mission he empowered with the reg
ulatiOn Of railroad freight rates; that
he great corporations engaged in in
tcrState commerce be placed under
National control; that new Canal
Commission be appointed; that the
naturalization laws be revised: that
the tariff duties Of the Philippine Is
lands be reduced, and that Arbi-
tration Treaties be approved. Each
of these measures Mr. Roosevelt
urged were of the greatest 1port-
ance. Not one of them became a
IaW. DOes any one doubt that the
ieopio Of this country are with the
President? Are we to assume that
there was no meaning IN that re-
uarkable majority, three times
greater than that given for Grant,
Mckinley, Lincoln or anyother pres
ident? Nobody who knows Pres
ident Roosevelt will doubt that hav-
ing put his hands to the plow he will
not turn back. The country has
waited with more or less patience
forty years for man with head,
heart and hands to do some inn
periously needed things that Theo-
dOre Roosevelt is striving to do, and
there are those who believe the
Country will keep him in the White
House whether he will or not, until
his task il done, and will also in due
course. by election, give him u sen
ate less obdurate to the voice of the
people.

ldge Charles +. Terry, in an OPP
ini filed last week upon the appeal
of ten taxpayers Of Wyoming coun-
ty, from the report of the county au-
tors, holds that auditors in Wyo-
ming county are entitled to 81. 80
per day only. While the general
law of the state provides that county
auditors shall receive $3.50 per day
and mileage, there is an old special
act applying to Wyoming county
alone which fixes the pay Of auditors
at 81 80 per day The decision OF
the judge was based upon this act
The board of auditors were uncertain
as TO their rights under the two laws,
and split the difference, allowing
themselves pay at the rate Of 50 90
per day, and for this reason 1be ap-
peal was made hy the aforesaid tax

that individuals in the non-laboring
class. between thirteen and sixteen,
exceed those OF the artisan class in
height by from 2.SG ~ 3.47 inches. in
weight, from 1888 to 1854 pounds. and
in chest girth, from 3.17 to ali

Dr.. Roberts comments upon this. as
follows, The contrast presented by
the columns OF figures representing
the non-laboring and the artisan class.
from the age of twelve TO seventeen,
shows the marked effect of social sur
roundings on the development of the
body; the one class being retarded and
depressed by laborious occupations
and unsanitary influences, the other
expanded and probably exaggerated
by the prevalence of circumstances
favorable to growth.

Outlaw Prosperous.

Relatives at Albion Ind, of
Marvin Kuhns, the most ceIe-
brated outlaw that Northern In
diana has contributed to history,
are deeply concerned over the
reports that come from Colum-
bus, Ohio, penitentiary. that there
has been counterfeiting going on
within the prison walls, bad coins
being circulated freely. For sew
eral months Kuhns has been in
charge of the curio stand, and
has been making more money
than almost any merchant in No.
bic county. When Kuhns es-
capped few years ago and was at
home he dropped vague hints
that counterfeiting within the
prison walls was not altogether
impossible. The prisoner is bet
ter satisfied now than he has ever
been in prison before. His pros
perity gives another color to the
prison idea and his thrift may
make him hesitate to apply for
a pardon soon again.

slick old fellow with a round gray
head on him as was ever owned
Are yu a mail or femail? If so,
state how long yu have been so.
Had you a father or mother? If
so, which? Are you subject to
fits and if so, do you have more
than one at a time? What is
your precise fitting wate' Did
yu ever have any ancestors? and
if so how much? Du yu have any
nightmares? Are yu married or
single, or are yu bachelor? Have
yu ever committed suicile? If so
how did it affect yu?" After an
swering the above questions like
a man, in the affirmative, the
slick, little, fat, old feller, with
gold spectacles on, said was in
sured for life, and probably would
remain so for years. 1 thanked

Industrial Census Has Been

The Census Bureau has just

nial census of manufacturers OF
the State of Indiana. Between
ninety and one hundred agents
of the bureau were engaged in

ures have been sent to the Cen
sus Bureau and the tabulation
has begun. Various tables,
throwing light on the develop
ment of manufacturers in Indi-
ana will be given to the public
In 1890 Indiana was the elev-
enth State in the Union from the
standpoint of the value of its
manufactures. In 1900 it had ad-
vanced to the eighth place.
While the figures of this years
census are being carefully guard

has taken a place nearer the head
of the column. 1t is certain that
there is quite an advance in the
number of people employed. The
census will be of great value.

Rain Discourages Onions.

Goshen, Ind, July 2.-The on
ion crop will be greatly damaged
by the wet weather which has
been experienced this spring.
This is the first heavy loss suff-
cred by the onion growers in Elk
hart, Lagrange, Noble, Koscius-
ko and Marshall counties, where
the cultivation is a comparative
ly new industry. So successful,
however, have the farmers been
that every year the acreage has
been nearly doubled. Land good
for nothing else has ben found
to be favorable to onion-raising,
producing thousands of bushels.
1t is believed that only cne-
third crop and not more than one
half a crop will be gathered this
year. The onion farmers, how
ever, will reap a big profit even
under these reverses and unfavor-
able circumstances. The usual
price is so cents a bushe1, but the
shortage this year, it is believed.
will send the price to $3.50.
Reports from the Sciota marsh
near Algiers, o. credited with
being the greatest onion section
in the world, are to the effect
that the onion crop there is a
failure.

Animals Rights.

Truth forces the observer of
nature to admit that birds and
other creatures apportion the
earth among themselves just as
man does. A bear has his boun-
daries, beyond which his fellow
bear does not trespass with i'm
punity; the wild rabbit YOU see
on your lawn in the moonlight
is the same innocent little Great
ure you have been seeing every
night all the summer time, and
even the robin that gashers the
early worm for his breakfast from
your garden will show fight when
another comes marauding on his
preserve. Nor does this last a
year only, for there is good evil
dence that the same bird will
come back to the claim it staked
off the year previous.
