The party of constitutional lib
erty still is triumphing in tile
Russian elections. In the Baltic
provinces the Slavs, Let's and
Hebrews were united and have
completely defeated the German
barons, who are the principal
landowners.
The Chicago Chronicle is con-
coded to be one of the best news
papers in the United States. 1t
gives all the news, not simply a
few startling head lines, and its
discussion of all public questions
is able and impartial. Its account
of the earthquake and fire in San
Francisco was the fullest and best
given by any paper in the United
States. The Chronicle is always
reliable.
1t was only a proper precaution
taken by the President when he
asked that an auditor be appoint
ed at once to keep record of all
Red Cross receipts and disburse-
ments. This should be done by
every organization which has any
funds to disburse. Vast sums OF
money are to be disbursed in San
Francisco and care should be tax
en- that no scandal arise from care
less handling or unbusinesslike
methods. Confusion can only be
prevented by the most accurate
bookkeeping.
Somebody sent a special to the
South Bend Tribune Monday
stating that William O'Keefe
was turned down emphatically ir
the Democratic convention al
Plymouth Saturday, and that del
egates were selected to the state
convention who are avowedly op-
posed to him. This we suppose
is intended 70 mean that The
Democratic leaders of Plymouth
are IN favor Of giving interest or
public funds to county and state
officials instead OF turning the in
terest into the county and state
treasury.

Hon. c. G. Conn of Elkhart
who served a term in congress
from this district and has beer
prominently mentioned as TIL
coming candidate for governor o
Indiana on the Democratic tick
ct, has written a very long articl
or the tariff question for his pap
er, The E1khart Truth. He repu
dates the free trade idea, declar
es himself in favor of a protectiv'
tariff, but thinks the inequalitie
of the Dingley tariff should b.
corrected and that we should no
have a tariff that would Civ
monopolists an advantage. III
says the tariff question should b
taken out of politics and place.

commission, because congress

parties, because people of all par

as the tariff is good or bad.
