Duty of Law and Oder League.

The La and Order League, which
SO successfully planned and executed
toe campaign against the saloons Of
Bremen, naturally feels elated over its
victory but we sincerely hope it will
% consider its mission fulfilled and
be onten to rest ON its ~laurels. Its
work has just begun, for it must de-
volve upon that organization to prove
to the people of Bntmen and vicinity
the benefits OF such a movement as
il has made. One of the strongest
arguments brought out in the cam
paign was that no matter if the sa-
looms were put out OF business the
people would get liquor and the town
would be confronted by conditions
vastly more unlawful than could exist
under licensed saloons. This argu-
ment the League combatted. 1t is
now up to them" to make good their
statements. Some OF our business
men advanced the argument that
trade which they now enjoy would
be diverted to towns where the sa-
looms fourishes. This argument was
also fought. We believe it now the
duty Of every member of the Law
and Order League to encourage in
every possible way. patronage of
Bremen markets. both buying and
selling. Another feature of their vic
tory will be the diminishing of the
towns receipts OF 5000 yearly saloon
license. This problem will demand
earnest consideration from the board
Of trustees OF the town and Is one
that cannot be overcome without add
ed taxation or r~etrenchment. The
battle was waged under the banner
and slogan of "A Better Bremen"
The fight has been a bitter one and
the only way TO heal the wounds will
be for the victors to prove their vic
tory.--Bremen Enquirer.

Owing TO the recent aud heavy

AT Wanatah late Friday morning,th

Trains were unable to pass and
were forced to take a circuitous route
to get around the washout.
East bound trains due Friday after
noon were forced to run back from
Wanatah to Valparaiso and come
around by the Nickel Plate and reach
ed this city six hours behind SEIZED

and Chicago were as late, having to
go by the same route.
The wreck train from Fl. Wayne

Democrats and Filipinos.

If the declaration of the Nebraska
Democrats concerning the Philip
pines is to form,a part of the Demo
cratic platform to- be adopted at Den
yer that party will renew ITS attempt
to awaken discomfort among the Phil
ipinos by arousing hopes that will
not be realized. The Nebraska plat
form, which doubtless was dictated
by Mr.. Bryan, says I'VE favor an inn
mediate declaration of the nations
purpose to recognize the independ-
nee OF the Philippine islands as soon
as a stable government can be estab-
lished."
The Americans who are best ac-
quaimed with the Philippines are
unanimous in the opin;on that II
take at least a generation of POI, -
education and training to fit the in
habitants for complete self-govern-
ment-that is, independence. They
are making a little progress in local
self-government, but are still in lead
ing strings. For a nation TO project
itself so far into the future as to- make
a promise that cannot be redeemed in
less than thirty years, and perhaps
not in a hundred, would be supreme
ly absurd
The only effect of making such 4
promise would be to give Filipino
agitators and malcontents a chance
to stir up trouble. The day after the
promise had been made the dema'
goeues would assert that the Filipin'
os already were able TO establish
sable government and call for tho
:. fulhllment of the promise. They
would keep up an incessant din, and
the work of political education now
going on peacefully would be inter
fered with. The promise Mr.. Bryan
asks for would be a most disassrou:

China and Japan Near War?

A special dispatch to the London
Morning Post from Shanghai says
that the relations between China and
Japan are seriously strained owing to
the seizure by China OF the Japanese
steamer Tatsu Maru off Macao. The
dispatch further says that Japan de-
clares that she will regard the refusal
to release the stear1e as ,asus belli.
Officials of the foreign Office at To-
kio Wednesday made the following
statement to the Associated Press:
Japan has issued no ultimatum
and has made no threats to China in
connection with the Tatsu's illegal seiz-
ure.
1--WE are depending upon the good
sense of the Chinese government to
release the vessel. express regrets and
pay damages
The situation is unchanged.

China Plans Big Navy.

Financial representatives OF no less
than ten OF the most important ship
building and armor manufacturing
concerns OF Great Britain, Germany
and France are at present in Pekin
looking for contracts This activity
is induced by the belief that China Is
about to expend $50, 600, 900 in naval
equipment. Whether this is so or not
is not yet definitely known, but in
any event it is probable that rhe War
Department will let contracts for the
building off training ships and river
boats and the construction of various
docks and wharves.
Since the beginning OF the year
China has been successful i'll conclud-
ing several railroad loans. The total
OF the amount thus secured is $32,-
O 10000. OF this sum, ST., 100000 has
been appropriated for the redemption
OF concessions, and the foreign hold
ers of the largest concessions in
China are hoping to sell their privil-
eye back to the government. This
financial activity is a result OF the
inovemen of the last twelve months
for the restitution to China OF the
privileges and concessions held by
foreigners, known otherwise as the

Company. and which the latter part
OF January was attacked b. natives

The Ohio Tariff Idea.

There seems TO be a feeling that
the Taft element in the Chicago con-
v~ention, whether 1t obtains his NOM
nation or not, will at least be strong
enough to dictate a tariff plank some
what in the nature OF that adopted
at Columbus, which reads:
"A revision of the tariff by a spec
ial session Of the mex congress in
surfing the maintenance OF the true
principle 70 protection by imposing
such customs duties as will equal the
difference between the cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad, with a
reasonable profit to the end that,
without excessive duties, American
manufacturers farmers, producers,
and wage earners may have adequate
protection"

The Kings State Carriage.

King Edward rode in a carriage
worth $4,000 when he went to .he
opening OF parliament ON the last oc-
casion. The vehicle is one of the
most costly and splendid in me world.
1t was built in 1861, at a cost Of $780,
600, on the occasion of the marriage
OF George III. and has ever since car
ried the English kings and queens on
all high state occasions. Sir William
Chambers designed the vehicle
which weighs four tons.
Despite its IA years service, its
great wheels, gear and body are said
10 be as sound as when built, and il
looks as if it would go on forever.
Steel springs were unknown when
the coach was built, and its ponder
Gus yet daintily luxurious body Is
suspended ON leather braces, moi I'M
like those of the oldtC Concord stage
coaches of America. Its balance :
50 perfect that a toich OF the finger
is enough to set the body swinging
on the big creaking straps which
brace the carved and gilded tritons
supporting the drivers seat and ham
mer cloth. The length of the We
hicle is "a feet and it is ~ feet high
The elaborate carvings cost more
than the carriage proper, the coach
builders bill having been less than
$4,000. while that of the carver was
more than $4,000. Something OF the
character of the ornamentation may
be guessed from the fact that the ar
fist Cipriani received $500 for
painting the panels and that the lace
makers charge was about 81 1000,
the crimson satin interior OF the car
riage being mos deliberately uphol-
stored. The preparation OF the royal
equipage for state occasions Is a real
sight. Six pairs OF milk-white horses
from the royal stud are always used,
and all wear false tails. The coach

seat with the ard Of a ladder, but
does not really drive Positions on
the horses and state grooms who
walk beside them being in command

The Truth is Out.

The truth about the inner workings
OF the Democratic convention which
was held for the purpose of electing
delegates to the state convention,
Thursday, has been revealed.
The name of J. w. Wolford as a
delegate was placed in nomination by
Mayor II. A. Logan. When VOL
ford and Logan talked the matter
over before the convention, and Lo-
gan wished to place the name of
Wolford in nomination, Wolford told
him that If Metsker was nominated,
then he (Wolford) wished 10 be nom
mated, for he knew that the mass of
Democrats would prefer him, but if
Metsker was not nominated. then
Wolford did not desire to be placed
in nomination, in order that party
harmony might prevail.
When the convention assembled
Metsker was nominated. and so ac-
cording to the plan. Mayor Logan
nominated Wolford. Metsker was
easily beaten by Wolford.

Gar Saves Stoessel.

The car has commuted the SEN
tence of death imposed against Gen.
Stoessel for surrendering Port Ar
thur to ten years imprisonment in a
fortress and 1T is expected a full
pardon will dortl. follow.
The impression is that Nicholas
would have set the Port Arthur de-
fender free at once but for the oppo-
sition of his war office, which hated
Stoessel for his structures concerning
the unpreparedness of the fortress at
the outbreak of the war with Japan.
The mil tary court which tried the
general decided that he yielded 20

been completely exhausted. The Ja :
anese themselves expressed much

AGAINST o o N
Delegates Instructed Not to Vote for

The candidacy of Col. c. G. Conn
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor received a setback in the
selection OF delegates in Marshall
county. The Delegates from Bour-
bon township were instructed TO vote
against Conn and 1t is probable the
soEd vote OF the county will be given
to Marshall. The delegates are hos
tile to Metsker, who has been BOOM
ing Conn in the Democrat. They say:
Conn was a gold Democrat IN 500
and 1900. He was elected TO Con-
gress in 1892, but refused a nomin-
.ation in 1894, and thus started the
boom that gave the Thirteenth dis
trict TO the Republicans and has kept
it in the Republican column since
that me."-Indianapolis News.
In 1894 Nh. Conn was allowed to
dictate his platform in the con
g~ressional convention, was nominated
by reclamation then afterwards re-
fused to make the race and compelled
the Democrats of this district TO call
another convention which nominated
Lew Wanner, of Elklart county. As
Mr.. Conn had abandoned the party
there was no possible show for Wan
ner's election. AS Metsker is favor
ing Mr.. Com's nomination it goes
without saying that defeat is inevi-

Words of Abraham Lincoln.

These words of Abraham Lincoln
are worthy of all acceptation: Let
reverence for the laws be breathed
by every American mother 10 the
lisping babe that prattles on her lap;
let it be taught in schools, i'll sem
i~naries, and in colleges; let it be writ
ten in primers, in spelling books and
in %almanacs; let it be preached from
the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative
halls. an denforced in courts of JUS
tice." To the end that this reverence
be maintained the law should be
made TO apply equally to the poor
and the rich, the strong and the weak.
