ARMSTRONG 4 CO., -S- URGICAL INSTKU3IENT MAKERS 222 and 22 South Meridian St. have some adventures quite remarkable for such small children. The great attrac- tion of the book Is the colored illustrations, by Miss Alice Wood3, of Indianapolis. They are of unusual merit, not only on account of their originality and fine general effect, but because of the good drawing and care- ful detail work. The children have a very lifelike quality. John and Jane have fared well at the hands of thl3 talented yoüng artist. The book, which is handsomely tound. Is published by H. S. Stone & Co., Chicago. Luther Strong. The scene of this story, by Thomas G. Vhian, Is laid In a little known and out-of-the-w- ay part of New York State, the spur of the Taconlc mountains that runs down Into the meeting angle of Vermont and Massachusetts. Shaker Hollow Is a typical vlllace which, once enlivened by stage-coac- a traffic, was killed by the construction of a railroad that put an end to stage- coach traffic and Shaker Hollow. After that the village and the people drew into their ihells and simply existed. That sort of narrow, still life has some interest. Luther Strong Is an Interesting representa- tive of it, and the other characters in the story are fairly well drawn. The story as such has less interest than the pictures of simple primitive life and odd charac- ters. New York: R. F. Fenno & Co. Mistress Fenwlclc. The phrase "historical novel" seems to be broad enough to embrace all stories that earry even a remote allusion to history or historical characters. "Mistress Fenwlck," by Duttoc Payne, is laid in England In the time of the restoration, when the court of Charles was ! ivolved in Intrigue antt scandal, and when Protestants and Catho- lics were contending for control. It is a story of love and romance, of chivalry and knightly deer's, in which "Mistress Fen-wick- ." the heroine, figures as a pure young girl in a tangle of contending interests and emotions. Among the historical per- sonages Introduced are King Charles. Buckingham and John Bunyan. It Is a spirited story with plenty of action. New York: IL F. Fenno & Co. The Wire of Ills Youth. This is the title given to a volume contain- ing nine short stories by Chas. W. Chesnutt, a negro writer. The title story is founded on the experiences of a colored couple who married when young, and were separated hy the chances of slavery and war. The husband, a bright and honorable man, loses trace of his wife, comes North, pros- pers and makes friends who suppose him to be a single man. Finally, after twenty-liv- e years, his faithful wife finds him, and he. as faithful to her, publicly acknowl- edges her. It is a simple story, but well told. The other stories deal mainly with Southern life and character, and, without being particularly strong, are readable. Boston: Houghton, Mlülln & Co. a InIIa. American readers have become acquaint- ed with Mr. G. W. Steevens, the English newspaper correspondent, through his graphic letters and descriptive books of war and travel, a line of work in which he has no superior. "In India" (Dodd, Mead & Co.) Is a record of his observations and experiences in British India, and it would be difficult to imagine a more delightful mingling of history and description, of facts and anecdote, of serious discussion and vivid narrative than the book affords. From beginning to end it is a series of distinct pictures and ciear statements, the composite result being a very definite Im- pression of British India and its people and places. The Bond of Blacks. This story, William Le Queux, is an un- canny and unwholesome one. It turns on the supposed existence In London of a satanic cult, or society of diabolism, the members of which were in league with Satan, and under a black bond to serve him.. Two beautiful women, the heroines of the story, are drawn into the tolls of the society and only escape after many un- pleasant and tragic experiences to wed the men they love. In spite of the ess of the story it is told in a way that makes it interesting, but it conveys no lesson and leaves no pleasant Impres- sion. New York: G. W. Dillingham. In Old Tiexr York. This story is the Joint work of Wilson Barrett, author of "The Red Cross," and Elwyn Barron, author of "Manders." The period of "In Old New York" is when New York was an English-Dutc- h colony, and. of course, long before the outbreak of the war of the revolution. The story opens with a horse race and closes with a duel, and between these events there is action enough, with beautiful women and typical men of the period as actors, to make a story that is not only Interesting in itself, but also for the atmosphere of colonial life that surrounds it. Boston: L. C. Pago & Co. A Story for tLe Girls. "The Ferry Maid of the Chattaboochle" Is, as the title indicates, a tale of the South. The ferry tnald is a little girl who, through her father's Illness, Is compelled to operate a ferry and become the sup- port of her father and a young sister. She has various adventures and numerous dis- couragements and misfortunes. Including .the earning away of the boat by a freshet while she was on it. She comes into good fertun at last, however. There is a great deal of unnecessary dialect in the book, but It Is a readable little tale. The Pcnn Pub- lishing Company, Philadelphia. Political Economy of Natural Law. This is a fourth edition of a work already well known to students of political science. Several years ago the author, Henry Wood, published a book entitled ."Natural Law in the Busings World." which was widely read. "The Political Economy of Natural Law" utilizes a portion of the matter in the former work in a different form, though the present one is substantially a new work. Its purpose la to outline a political economy that Is natural and practical, rafher than artificial and theoretical. Bos- ton: Lee & Shepard. ' A Handy Volume. "The Twentieth Century Handy Cyclo- pedia Brltannlca" is the title of a little volume of condensed information issued by Laird & Lee, Chicago. It is compiled from the latest statistics and authorities, with a regard for modern requirements, and makes a convenient book of reference on matters relating to natural science, his- tory, law, biography or other subjects aris- ing in study or conversation. It contains a number of maps and other illustrations, end Is handsomely bound. It Is a book to be kept on the desk of the busy worker. Magazine 3Iention. The fatal facility with which a French Ministry can be overthrown, is one of the phaes cf the general subject, "The Paris of To-day- ," which Mr. Whlteing, author of "No. 5 John Street," will treat in his introductory article in the February Cen- tury. The Story-telle- r Is the title of a little one-colu- mn magazine "for children of all ages," published at Terre Haute, Ind. Its purpose is to retell in simple phrase famous legends and myths and incidents in the lives of great and good men and women. Miss Dorothy Cole, of Rushville, will furnish the illustrations. Tho Successful American is the title of a new magazine soon to be issued by the Press Biographical Company, 13 Park Row, New York. It will contain biograph- ical sketches of prominent men now In public life, with comments on current events. Its publishers and writers are newspaper men of experience. The Critic is authority for the announce- ment that, notwithstanding all rumors to the contrary, it may be denied, on tho highest authority, that "Hugh Wynne" has been dramatized or at least that ar.y ex- isting dramatic version of the novel is to appear upon the stage. Dr. Mitchell's sanc- tion ha3 not been given to any play founded upon his story. The five proposed routes for cables across tho Pacific will be described in the Feb- ruary Scribner's by Herbert Laws Webb, an electrical expert, who points out the difficulties which surround such an under- taking, and the conditions of success. The article is of particular importance at this time, when several bills are before Con- gress to lay a Pacific cable. May Irwin, the well-know- n actress, has an article on "Art in Humor," in which she embodies some ideas of amusing the public which are entirely her own, and at the same time tells Interesting experi- ences of her stage career. The illustrations show Miss Irwin in various character pores. "The Real Mr. Dooley" is told about by L. Frank Baum in the same issue. "Housekeepers and Homemakers," "Hints for Home Teachers of the Piano," "The Baby's Outfit," "Expression," "Through Baby's Eyes," "A Homemade Art Scrap-boo- k" and "The Rainy Day" are some of te topics treated in a practical and com- mon sense way in the January number of Trained Motherhood. This Is a most useful little periodical. Published at 13 Park Row, New York. A curious Japanese-lookin- g color plate, by Edward Detmold, representing a mack- erel, forms the frontispiece of the Maga- zine of Art (Cassell's) for January. An interesting feature of the number is an Il- lustrated account of some treasures of art in the way of furniture at Bucking- ham Palace. They are pieces made by Boulle, a Flemish cabinet maker of the seventeenth century. "IA Lettre d'Amour," by Richard Hard- ing Davis, is the leading story in the mid- winter fiction number of the Saturday Evening Post, which will be on sale Jan- uary the 25th. The scene is laid in Lon- don and tho characters are a beautiful American girl, her mother, a wealthy young Harvard man. and a viollnst of the Hungarian orchestra. The Illustra- tions are by Howard Chandler Christy. Cassell's Magazine for January opens with a story by Bret Harte called "A Belle ot Canada City." Robert W. Chambers's serial, "A Gay Conspiracy," moves merrily along after the usual fashion of this, sprightly author's talcs. An Illustrative article descriptive of South Africa, 4The Scene of Action." "Snow Games," "The Life of a Congo Carrier," "Working Dolls" are topics of contributions. There are also two or three short stories by English writers. Each number of the Patent Record, a monthly publication Issued in Baltimore, contains a great deal of useful and practi- cal information for inventors those who have taken out patents and those who think of doing so. Among the features of the current number are a chapter of "Law Points for Inventors." a list of sales of in- ventions, a column of personal gossip about inventors, "Notes on New Inventions," an account of "Patents in Court," and a list of "Ideas for Inventors." The New Cycle, published by tho Meta- physical Publishing Company, New York, contains in ita January number essays on "Spinoza, Llebnitz and Fichte." "Life vs. Death." "Ezekiel's Vision," "The Double" and "Conditions in Life." None of these, the poems or the "home circle" discus- sions are so deeply metaphysical as might be expected from the announcement that the New Cycle is a magazine "for the thinker, the scholar and the metaphysi- cian." Leander Edmund Whipple is the editor. .. Universal Brotherhood Path is the title of what seems to be the organ of the Theo-sophlc- al Society. Katherlne Tlngley and E. A. Neresheimer are its editors and it is publisned in New York city. It contains a good deal of matter that is quite beyond the comprehension of the uninitiated reader, as, for instance, the remarkable de- sign on the supplement sheet, which seems to be of deep significance. A very long article on "Tho Pith and Marrow of tho Closing and Coming Century and the Be- lated Position of . Freemasonry and Jesu- itry." and another on Egypt and Egyptian dynasties are features of the number, it also "hails" the new century prematurely. LIppIncott's Magazino for January Is a little late in reaching the public, owing to the recent fire In the publishing house, but it shows no sign of hasty preparation. The complete novel, entitled "The Bread Line." by Albert BIgelow Paine Is a clever, well-writt- en tale. In "Art and the Camera" F. Holland Day claims a place for photogra THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, JANUARY 15, 1900. phy among the fine arts. Thomas Whitney Burette writes of "An English Music Festi- val." "The Paris Fair In Outline" is de- scribed by Mrs. Schuyler Crowninshleld. A third paper on English social life relates to "English political house-parties- ." There are several short stories and poems, making in all a veryjreadable number of the magazine. Fnbllshers' Notes. D. C. Heath & Co. have in press, for Immediate .publication, "Publishing of r. Book," a manual of practical directions to would-b- e authors. Intended to smooth the way of their introduction to publishers. It is a comparatively long time since there has been a work of fiction from Max- well Gray, author of "The Silence of Dean Maitland." but she has written a' novel called "The World's Mercy," which is to be published shortly in Appleton's Town and Country Library. Mr. Clyde Fitch's successful Revolution- ary play, "Nathan Hale," which has ere- - ated much enthusiasm wherever presented, has been Issued in book form by R. 11. Russel, New York. Twelve reproductions of photographs of Nat Goodwin and Maxine Elliott in different scenes will illustrate the book. O. P. Putnam's Sons have In press an en- tirely new work on the collection, use and preservation of books, written by the vet- eran librarian. Dr. A. R. Spofford, so long associated with the Library of Congress. It is entitled "A Book for All Readers," and is replete with Information concerning the selection, care and management of libraries, public and private. The New Amsterdam Book Company an- nounce the Immediate publication of a series of reproductions in platinum photo- graphs, of the Masterpieces of Modern Art under the name of "The Thornton Prints." They will start the list with reproductions of the famous modern paintings exhibited at the world's fair, Chicago, and some se- lections from the masterpieces in the Na- tional Gallery, London. Tho Century Company has Just issued a new and revised edition of James Bryce's "Impressions of South Africa," containing a new chapter of sixty pages, bringing the work down to date and lully discussing the reasons for the present state of war in the Transvaal. It contains also ap- pendices of which the conventions of IkSl and 1884 made between the South African Republic and Great Britain are printed in full. . Messrs. D. Appleton and Company have nearly ready for publication a new stand- ard work entitled "The International Geography." Seventy authors have col- laborated In Its production, including the leading geographers and travelers of Eu- rope and America. The book is illustrated by nearly 500 maps and diagrams which have been specially prepared. It is de- signed to present in the compact limits of a single volume an authoritative conspec- tus of the science of geography and the conditions of the countries at the end of the nineteenth century. An intimation comes from LIppIncott's that the recent fire in their establishment affords a notable opportunity for the con- sideration of new literary material, both for book and magazine publication. Their important books will be republished at once, all plates having been saved, but evi- dently they are ready to make a fresh start in certain directions. This hint will bring a flood of manuscripts, no doubt, but In connection with the suggestion comes this chilling remark: "Notwithstanding the mass of manuscript with which the lead- ing publishing houses are deluged, the com- plaint, both in England and America, is that the quality is bad. The cry is for fresh, individual work, - and, considering the universality of education and culture, the dearth of this is amazing." CONGRESS THIS WEEK. The Philippine Question and the Financial Bill to Be DUcnssed. WASHINGTON, Jan. It The Senate will probably resume consideration of the Pettl-gre- w resolution, making request for certain information concerning the beginning of the war in the Philippines, on Monday morning. Tht3 will be succeeded at 2 o'clock by a speech on the financial bill by Senator Rawlins, of Utah, if the present programme 13 followed. Senator Pettlgrew will continue his speech on the Philippine resolution, and after he concludes Senator Berry, of Arkansas, will take the floor for a general speech on the Philippine problem if sufficient time remains of the morning hour. When the Pettlgrew resolution is disposed of the Hoar resolutions will sup- ply food for talk each day in the morning hour, and after that the Hale resolution concerning the seizure of American goods by Great Britain will be taken up. It is Senator Aldrlch's announced purpose to press consideration of 'the financial bill each day after the conclusion of the morn- ing hour, but It is not probable he will suc- ceed in securing a dally speech on that sub- ject. Senator Teller probably will speak some time during this week, after Senator Rawlins concludes. It is also understood that Senator Daniel will be heard soon on the question of the finances. Other ad- dresses on this subject will come later. Consideration of the Samoan treaty in ex- ecutive session will be resumed if the legislative work permits, and Senators Ba- con and Money will make speeches in op- position to it. It is also possible that the report in the ijuay case may be presented late in the week. The House will plunge into the routine work of the session this week. Most ol the time, excepting Friday, which has been set apart for paying tribute to the memory of the late Vice President Ilobart, will be devoted to consideration of appropriation bills. It Is expected that both the urgent deficiency and the pension appropriation bill will be passed this week, the former containing as it does many millions for th army and navy, may raise the whole ques- tion as to the Insurrection in the Philip- pines with its allied issues and lead to a very protracted debate. How far the Re- publican leaders will allow the debate to run has not yet been determined, but If the Democrats are Insistent and persistent they can hardly refuse them several days in view of the large amount of the appropria- tions Involved. The pension appropriation bill is also likely to cause some spirited de- bate, owing to the disposition In certair quarters to criticise the conduct of the Pension Office. Attempts doubtless win be made to . legislate on the bills reversing some of the pension commissioners' rulings, but as all such legislation is subject to a point of order it will fall. There is no present prospect that the Roberts case will get into the House before next week. WORK OF A I0NE ROBBER. Ttvo Restaurants In Kansas City Gleaned Out in Five 3Unutes. KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Jan. 14.- -In true Western fashion, a lone robber, masked and armed, cleaned out two restaurants in the center of tho city at 6 o'clock this morning, under the glare of the electric light. In the Lewis restaurant at No. 1210 Walnut street, he pointed a pistol at Stan- ley Brushwood, the cashier, and tapped the register whilo he kept his revolver in plain view of two customers eating nearby. Tho contents of the register had been trans- ferred to the safe but a few minutes pre- vious and the robber secured only a hand- ful of change. He then gave the waiter and the two customers a parting word of warning and ran across the street to tho restaurant of Robert McClintock. Here the robber covered Cashier Joseph Drysdale, and commanded two waiters and three customers to hold up their hands. They complied promptly and the robber emp- tied the register in a twinkling, lie pock- eted the entire contents, $H6, and, backing oui ui me uoor. encountered a grocery so- - licitor. Ho iMjked his revol the solicitor's face with tho command not to make an alarm and forced him int the restaurant, where all the others still stood wun arms upsiretched. At this instant the robber darted down a nearby alley and disappeared. Hardly more man nve minutes were consumed at both jobs and the robber had plenty of time to get away before the scared victims had recovered composure. UNDER REPUBLICAN RULE HENRY COXTSTY JL'S OBJECT LESSON FOR TAX-RIDDE- N COMMUNITIES. Text of Chairman Hercly'a Speech at Saturday's Convention Work of Two Parties Reviewed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. , NEW CASTLE. Ind., Jan. 14. Henry county Republicans, who are proverbially harmonious, held a characteristic county convention Saturday. All the party lead- ers were here, Including State Chairman llernly and Senator L. P. Newby. During the convention it was said that Mr. Hemly never felt the need of a telegraphic serv- ice to tell him the result of the elections throughout the State, as it was his claim he could tell the way the State was going by the vote In his own precinct. During the speeches which followed the selection of delegates the statement was made that Henry county furnished the best possible argument in favor of continuous Repub- lican rule in local affairs, in that for forty years not a Democrat had been elected to office in Henry county, and that dur- ing that time, dating back to the presi- dential campaign of John C. Fremont, there had never been a defalcation by an officeholder in the county. Good roads had been built and public buildings erected and kept In good condition and at the pres- ent time, Henry county is free from debts of all description and has a cash balance of $55,000 in bank, with the lowest rate of taxation in the State. For the first time in the history of any county, Henry county has a delinquent tax list too small to pay' the expense of publishing it and as a re- sult there will be no sheriff's sales in that county. Aside from the smoothness of the pro- ceedings, which made the convention re- semble a lovef east rather than a political meeting, the most noticable thing was the speech of Chairman Hemly prepared, as he said, during the noon recess. It follows: "My Fellow-citize- ns I feel under more obligation than it is possible for me to express to my friends and neighbors in my home county. Whatever of success I have attained, either in politics or busi- nesses due first to my friends and neigh- bors in Henry county; and I thank you most cordially for your friendship and con- fidence. To preside at a Republican mas3 convention in this grand old county of Henry, where Republicans have met to make arrangements for the battle of 1000, is a great honor, and I re- turn to you my most cordial thanks for this recognition of your confidence. There have been great political contests in the past between the two dominant parties for supremacy, and each campaign has been one of great importance to the peo- ple, as well as to the welfare of our Re- public. And it is customary to say, as we approach each presidential election, that this is the most important one that we have ever confronted. But I think the same Is truer of the coming campaign than any we have entered upon since 1S64. There are many new questions before us, and a new era of things has dawTned upon us. We shall end this old century and becrin a new one with the greatest and most serious questions confronting us that have ever been presented to the people. Hence, the Importance of this campaign cannot be overestimated, and our party should pot be overconfident of success. It is a great undertaking to elect a President, and wo can only be successful by the active, harmonious and enthusiastic sup- port of every Republican. CAUSE FOR CONGRATULATION. "The Republican party has cause to con- gratulate ' herself upon her achievement, both in the State and in the Nation. Sho can be proud of ner record of redeemed promises which has been given through her state and national platforms, and be- fore I go farther I want to call attention to some of the conditions of our state government. The passage by the lat Legislature of the county and township reform laws, at once places the great State of Indiana in the front rank of her sister States on the question of local gov- ernment, and notwithstanding the opposi- tion to these laws at the time they were enacted, they have come to stay and the principles of government contained in these laws will forever be a part of our local government and they will bo fully appreciated when once in full operation, in a wholesome reduction of taxation which they will bring to the people, and other States In the Union will follow In- diana in her lead in the management of local government. Too much praise can- not be given to the wise, prudent and eco- nomical management of all our State in stitutions under the Republican control cf our state affairs. The State debt is being paid off under this administration tnd soon she will be free from debt; the bur- den of taxes to pay interest and principal will be taken oft the shoulders of the people and Indiana will be one of the States of the Union that can be looked to with pride by all of her sister States. "The magnificent victory for our party in 1898, amid so much apathy, shows what can be done by a thorough organization of the precincts, and I cannot let this oppor- tunity go by without expressing my sin- cere and cordial thanks for the faithful and honest work done by the precinct com- mitteemen throughout Indiana In that cam- paign, and ' want to testify now that on the integrity and activity of these men depends the success of the struggle we are now entering upon, and I bespeak for them the assistance and co-operat-ion an! loyal support of all their fellow-Republican- s. I want to Insist on the point of the im- portance of this campaign, made so by the many new questions .1 have before sug gested, which call for the careful and thorough consideration of every voter. Among the many new questions which confront us in this campaign none is more important than that of expansion. Since the last presidential campaign we hav-- j acquired a vast area of new territory and the flag of our country has been plained on the large expanse of rich and produc- tive islands of both hemispheres. Thee islands are now a part of the United States as much as this State of Indiana is part of our own great country. In part of this new territory there is now going on a rebellion against the United States to govern her own territory. The inhabitants of these islands who are hi rebellion are traitors to the flag and the residents of this county who are in sympathy with them and who are aiding and abetting them in this rebellion are conspirators in this rebellion and are guilty of treason and when apprehended should be dealt with by the strong arm of our government as such. v INSULAR PROBLEMS. "Another of the great questions will be the formulating of a stable and free gov- ernment for the islands of Porto Rico and the Philippines and the settlement of the Cuban question. The Republican party is best fitted by her experience to carry to those poor benighted people a government which will guarantee to them absolute free- dom and liberty and protect them from the greed of other nations of the world. "Another question is tho construction of the NIcaraguan canal so that the two oceans may be joined together and the dis- tance in passing from one part of our Re- public to another be so shortened that time will scarcely be estimated in the pas- sage, and it seems as if nature narrowed down that strip of land between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific ocean on purpose that a brave and mighty people might per- form one of the grandest achievements In the history of the world by the construction of a great water-wa- y across the same. The task is not too great. Our people will as- sume that responsibility and the Repub- lican party will go forward with that Im- provement and It will be another laurel to the glorious things achieved by our party. "The business and commercial Interests of the Nation have grown to such unprece- dented proportions that financial legislation has become necessary and the American Congress, which is Republican in both branches, is at work in earnest on .the question of sound financial legislation and will, by law, establish the gold standard so that the measure of the value of a dollar may not rest with the mind of the secre tary of the treasury and not be changed at the will of every administration. Therefore, the financial question is still one of the burning problems before us and we shall have to contend with the old heresy of free dollars and cheaper money and the free coinage of silver at the dishonest ratio of IG to 1. But the American people rendered a verdict on that question in 1836 and I firmly believe they will in 1D0O render a Judgment on that verdict and again renew their loyalty and faithfulness. to an honest dollar, thereby closing the issue against the seductive cry of populism which has been widespread over our land. "Another of the vital new questions now before us is that of trusts. This question will furnish the enemy a great opportunity to howl themselves hoarse. While It Is not a question of party politics, it affords a field for the Democrats to seek to array class against class throughout the country in that peculiar Democratic way of which that party has a monopoly. Already tho paid agents and hired walking delegates and agitators of the Democratic party are going throughout the country pouring into the ears of the laboring people the tale of discord and discontent. They are seeking to dissatisfy the workingmen with present conditions and are trying to bring about strikes and lockouts in order to array the employe against the employer. In this they will certainly fail and go bankrupt. We have not got far enough past the Democratic souphouse period of 1S33 to 1895 to enable the enemy to be successful with that cry of demagogy. The laboring jnen and their wives and children remember this one green spot in the field of Demo- cratic achievement that era based on Democratic promises, full of despair, want, woe and misery; that era of Democratic control, the first in thirty-fiv- e years, and I hope the last for a hundred more; the era of black despair and hungry slumbering of all labor and commercial interests of our country; that era which yet hangs like a pall over the people, so fresh In the minds of all that new stories are yet being told of those dark days. . DEMOCRATS DID NOTHING. "The partyv which had complete control of every branch of our national govern- ment during that era wras powerless and lelpless to do anything to bring relief, and the people suffered through it all. The Democratic party, during that period, passed no law against trusts. With their desire now to charge this condition against the Republican account, they passed no law against the trusts, which they claim have been formulating for years. Why did not this party, with the control of Con- gress in both branches and a President, pass a law against trusts? The only law which has ever been passed seeking to reg- ulate trusts and combinations or looking to their control in any way was passed by a Republican Congress and signed by .a Re- publican President, and the grand old party of the people must and will continue to legislate on this question in the interests of all the people, and will relieve every evil resulting from these combinations as they arise, for the good of all the people, with- out regard to classes. And, without now stopping to discuss or to enter into the de- tails of the many ways that have been proposed and suggested for controlling these gigantic corporations and combina- tions, there is no doubt in my mind but that the Republican party feels the neces- sity and will enter on Its duty and dis- charge the same without fear, and control the trusts and combinations so that the prosperity of the country may not be broken up and demoralized by such legisla- tion. I am heartily in favor, and shall insist, that these corporations be dealt with, and that they be made to pay their just share and expenses in the way of taxes to the government, and that they be made to bear their Just proportions of the burden. And, under the era of good times which has come to us by the match- less administration of President McKinley, the Republican party will not only solve, but will solve honestly and rightfully, all of these great questions. "I said matchless administration of Pres- ident McKinley one that stands out like those of Lincoln and Grant. What a con- trast between the two eras Democratic 1S93 to 1897, Republican 1S97 to 1900. I can only enumerate In part and contrast one with the other: Democratic era, things de- stroyed;. Republican era, things done. Dem- ocratic era, black and wasteful; Republican era, happiness and prosperity. Democratic era, pledges broken; Republican era, of promises redeemed. Democratic era, empty granaries and storehouses, low prices; Re- publican era, high prices, all storehouses full to overflowing. Democratic era, no wages, no work; Republican era, plenty of work at increased wages. Democratic era, debt-creatin- g; Republican era, debt-payin- g. Democratic era, no confidence, business paralyzed; Republican era, brotherhood of man restored, business unequaled. Demo- cratic era, empty treasury, bonds sold to pay expenses; Republican era, treasury full, interest paid in advance, bonds re- deemed before maturity. Democratic era, old glory hauled down in Hawaii; Repub- lican era, the old flag hoisted over new possessions, to remain forever. Democratic era, sacrifice of national honor and dignity, and cowardly backout from responsibility; Republican era, splendid achievement on land and sea and millions of slaves set free, splendid administration of McKinley, vic- torious on every hand, great things done wonderful achievements in passing from one era to another. It is like passing from the burning sands of the desert to refresh- ing green glades, with cool breezes and sparkling water. We can continue the pres- ent conditions by the election of McKinley and thereby have a hope for the future." IN OTHER COUNTIES. Hogate Indorsed for Governor by Re-- v. publicans of nendrlcks. Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. DANVILLE, Ind., Jan. 14. The Repub- licans of Hendricks county had an enthusi- astic mass meeting in Danville yesterday. It was decided to hold the county primary for the nomination of a county ticket Feb. 16. Resolutions were adopted indorsing President McKinley's ( administration.- - in- dorsing the single gold standard, pledging support to the administration in putting down the Insurrection in the Philippines, condemning the treasonable utterances of those who give aid and comfort to the enemy. Senator Beveridge's speech was commended to the voters as a manly presentation and solution of the Philippine problem, patriotic in the highest degree and free from political rancor. Senator Enoch G. Hogate was unanimously indorsed for governor on the ground "that in him we recognize that ability and integrity which qualify him for the exalted position to which he aspires." He was commended to the Republicans of the State "as a leader In whom they may well place their confi- dence and in whose nomination all might have a just and honorable pride." The reso- lution concludes: "We pledge to him our constant and unfaltering support and we will use all honorable means to secure his nomination as our standard bearer in the coming campaign." The condition of the party in Hendricks county is most excellent and the figures are set for 1,400 majority in November. PORTLAND. Ind., Jan. 14.

EXPORTS OF CEREALS ENOMOI S QUANTITIES OF CORN SENT TO OTHER COUNTRIES. Statement That Shows New York la Loalnsr Prestige as a Shipping Port Our Beat Customer. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. The rivalry be- tween the great Atlantic and gulf ports of the United States regarding their rela-tiv- o share In the exportation of the prod- ucts of the country lends Interest to a series of statements just completed by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, showing the exports of corn, wheat and flour from the United States during the calendar year 1893 compared with preceding years. The fig- ures, it should be premised, chow a fall- ing off in exportation of wheat in 1899, as compared with 1898 which was an abnorm- ally heavy year; the corn exports of 1S99 are about the same as those of 1SDS, but greatly In excess of any preceding years, while the flour exports of 1S99 are slight- ly larger than those of any preceding year, being 18,900,000 barrels, against 16,-569,- in 189S and 17,403,713 barrels In 1S92. Exportatlons of corn have grown stead- ily during the decade, starting with S6,-000,- 000 bushels in 1S90 and ending with 207,-00,0- 00 bushels in IK), the growth having been steadily upward and no preceding year equaling the figures of 1S9S and 1S93. In wheat there has been a much great- er fluctuation, the years 1S91 and 1S92 show- ing an exportation of nearly 130,000,000 bushels each, 1894 and 1893 dropping to about one-ha- lf that quantity, while 1593 made the highest record of our exportatlons. with 149.245.6S5 bushels, 1S99 again dropping to about the normal or average amount with 111,000,000 bushels. Flour has steadily increased, the exports of 1S90 being 11,319,456 barrels, and those of 1S99, IS.900,000, an increase of over ZO per cent. The following table chows the exporta- tion from the United States of corn, wheat and flour in each calendar year from 1S90 to and Including 1S99. the figures of 1S99 being subject to slight revisions: Corn. bu.

The exports of corn, for instance, from the port of New -- York incrtased from thirteen and a half rnllllon to forty mil- lion bushels between 1893 and 1S99, an In- crease of 200 per cent., while those from Boston Increased from five and a half mil-Io- ns to seventeen and a naif millions; those from Philadelphia, - llll . from four millions tol xweniy-nin- e millions;, itauimore, irom seven and a haif millions to forty-si- x mil- lions; New Orleans, from six and a haft millions to twenty-tw- o millions, while Newport News and Galveston, for which the record begins with 1S95. show for New- port News an increase from four and a half millions in 1S95 to fourteen millions in 1S33, and Galveston from one and one-four- th dUloiu la 15 to seven million la "Little Strokes Fell Great Oafis" The gUrds cf the forest most yield zt Ust to the continual blxrws of the axxds man. When the human blood his become clogged and impure the Utile drops of Hood's Sirsa.pzrZU, properly taken, a7 fell the oak of bad blood. Thus Philadelphia, Baltimore, Newport News, New Orleans and Galveston show a much larger percentage of growth in their exports of corn than does New Ycrk or Boston. In wheat exportation Boston has made greater gains than any other Atlantic port, the total having grown from 2.9C4.125 bushels in 1S93 to 11.5C7.847 In 1S99. while at New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and New Orleans the figures for 1899 are In each case actually less than in 1S33. the figures for New York being 36,437.4i3 bushels in 1S93 and 26,8C0.3S6 in 1S99; Phila- delphia, 5.C57.39S bushels in 1893. 4.012.927 in 1S99; Baltimore, 13,048.702 bushels in 1893 and 9,549.270 in 1899, and New Orleans. 12,-806.- 734 bushels In 1893 and 11.5C2.S12 in 1899; Galveston, however, shows a marked gain, the figures for 1S96 being 5,428.369 bushels, and those of 1833, 15,713,400. lrior to 1S36 wheat exportatlons from Galveston were small, seldom reaching one million bushels, but in 1S36 .they amounted to 3,423,303 bushels and nave steadily grown until, as already indicated, they were in 1S9S 15,-713,- 400 bushels, In spite of the fact that the total exports of wieat from the United States in 1839 were materially below those of the preceding year. In flour also the drift appears to be away from New York, whose exports of flour In 1S33 were 6.41S.931 barrels, and in 1899 4.741,035, whilo Philadelphia, Baltimore, Newport News, Norfolk, New Orleans and Galveston show more or less increases ia 1899 as compared witn 1S93. BRITAIN OLH BEST CUSTOMER. Annually Takes Over Half Oar Agri- cultural Exports. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-- Mr. Frank IL Hitchcock, chief of tho foreign markets division of the Agricultural Department, has prepared an interesting collation of figures showing for the first time the re- spective amounts of our agricultural ex- ports which go to the Eeveral countries ot Europe and of the other continents. Tho period covered is 1894 to 1S9S. The state- ment shows that the agricultural products exported from the United States during the five years had an average annual value of $6C3,536,20L Of these enormous exports about CO per cent, found a market In the United Kingdom and its various dependen- cies. The sum paid by the British people for the American farm product purchased during the period mentioned reached as high as J403.953.S54 a year. Great Britain alone took more than one-ha- lf of all our agricultural exports, the consignments credited to that country forming about 53 per cent, of the total shipments and hav- ing an average annual value of J3C2,407,70L Germany, which ranks next to the United Kingdom as a market for the products of American agriculture, received about 13 per cent, of the exports for 1S94-1S9- S, the av- erage yearly value amounting to $86,320,-27- 4. France, with purchases that averaged $43,988,730 a year, or about 6.6 per cent, of the total, was the third country in im- portance. These three countries the United Kingdom, Germany and France re- ceived together nearly 75 per cent, of the total agricultural exports. After the three countries just mentioned the Netherlands. Belgium, Canada, Italy and Spain alTorded the most Important markets. The Nether- lands bought 4.3 per cent, of the total; Bel- gium, 3.6 per cent.; Canada. 3.5 per cent.; Italy, 2.2 per cent., and Spain, 1.5 per cent. The average annual values of the exports to these countries were: Netherlands. $28,-803.1- 56; Belgium, .731.003; Canada, $23..-51- 7; Italy, $14,264,421, and Spain. $9 761.870. Brazil took $6.258.729; Cuba, $6.099.:4: Den- mark, $5,930,952 (exports to that country doubling during the five-ye- ar period); tho British West Indies, $3.241,657; Mexico, , $4.-636,- British Africa. $4.128.920, and Eu- ropean Russia, $1,060,236. The average year- ly exports to Hong-Kon- g were valued at $3.555,5S8. and those to Japan at $3.407.800. For Portugal the average annual record was $2,709,694; for Sweden and Norway, $2,-C85.- 549; for Haiti. $2,281,966, and for Brit- ish Australasia, $2.030,804. The other countries to which the United States sent agricultural products during 1S94-189- S, having an average yearly value la excess of $1,000.000, were Austria-Hungar- y, Venezuela, British Guiana, Puerto Rico, the Hawaiian Islands, and the French West Indies. These figures show that, with very few ex- ceptions, the leading foreign countries ma- terially Increased their purchaFts of Amer- ican agricultural products during 1S94-1S9- 8. In the total value of the agricultural ex- ports there was an advance from $636.C33,-7- 47 In 1S94 to $85.507.942 in 1898, making a gain of $221.874.195. The countr.es of des- tination that contributed most to this in- crease were the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Belgium. Canada, th Netherlands, Japan. Italy, Denmark and British Africa. Our exports of farm produce to the United Kingdom increased $S2,5S8.854 during the five years, to Germany, $16,441.338 and to France, $33.415,208. The summary brings out the fact that about SO per cent, of all the farm produce shipped from the United States during the five years mentioned was marketed in Eu- rope, the annual average being $5?.6.954.907. In 1S98 it reached as high as $761,570.782, showing an Increase of $133.5SS.9C3 over tho value nr 1394. Of tne remaining 12 per cent, tne chief part "went to Canada and the other North American countries, aver- aging annually $48.724.257, or slightly more than 7 rr cent, of the total. The records for the five years show only a slight gain. South America took only 1.72 per cent, of the total, the average yearly value belnjf $11.389.776 and were le?s In 189S than 1894. To Asia there was a marked increase during the five years, the value advancing from $3.S01.998 In 1S04 to $14.C71.349 In 1S38. They formed 1.16 per cent, of the total for tho five years. The shipments of agricultural produce to Africa, although constituting less ian X per cent, of the total, also showed a notice- able Increase. In 1S3S the value amounted to $9,795.598 as compared with only $1.716.-8- 20 In 1894. This was a gain of $8.07S,77S. To Oceania there were agricultural exports averaging $3.3946S a year. The value for 1S9S was $2.510,451, while that for 1S34 was only $1.963;l4S. BLEW OUT THE OAS. One Yonng Man Dead and Another Unconscious Hat Man Asphyxiated. NEW YORK, Jan. 14.

have some adventures quite remarkablefor such small children. The great attrac-tion of the book Is the colored illustrations,by Miss Alice Wood3, of Indianapolis. Theyare of unusual merit, not only on accountof their originality and fine general effect,but because of the good drawing and care-ful detail work. The children have a verylifelike quality. John and Jane have faredwell at the hands of thl3 talented yoüngartist. The book, which is handsomelytound. Is published by H. S. Stone & Co.,Chicago.

Luther Strong.The scene of this story, by Thomas G.

Vhian, Is laid In a little known and out-of-the-w- ay

part of New York State, the spurof the Taconlc mountains that runs downInto the meeting angle of Vermont andMassachusetts. Shaker Hollow Is a typicalvlllace which, once enlivened by stage-coac- a

traffic, was killed by the constructionof a railroad that put an end to stage-coach traffic and Shaker Hollow. Afterthat the village and the people drew intotheir ihells and simply existed. That sortof narrow, still life has some interest.Luther Strong Is an Interesting representa-tive of it, and the other characters in thestory are fairly well drawn. The story assuch has less interest than the picturesof simple primitive life and odd charac-ters. New York: R. F. Fenno & Co.

Mistress Fenwlclc.The phrase "historical novel" seems to be

broad enough to embrace all stories thatearry even a remote allusion to history orhistorical characters. "Mistress Fenwlck,"by Duttoc Payne, is laid in England In thetime of the restoration, when the courtof Charles was ! ivolved in Intrigue anttscandal, and when Protestants and Catho-lics were contending for control. It is astory of love and romance, of chivalry andknightly deer's, in which "Mistress Fen-wick- ."

the heroine, figures as a pure younggirl in a tangle of contending interestsand emotions. Among the historical per-sonages Introduced are King Charles.Buckingham and John Bunyan. It Is aspirited story with plenty of action. NewYork: IL F. Fenno & Co.

The Wire of Ills Youth.This is the title given to a volume contain-

ing nine short stories by Chas. W. Chesnutt,a negro writer. The title story is foundedon the experiences of a colored couple whomarried when young, and were separatedhy the chances of slavery and war. Thehusband, a bright and honorable man,loses trace of his wife, comes North, pros-pers and makes friends who suppose himto be a single man. Finally, after twenty-liv-e

years, his faithful wife finds him, andhe. as faithful to her, publicly acknowl-edges her. It is a simple story, but welltold. The other stories deal mainly withSouthern life and character, and, withoutbeing particularly strong, are readable.Boston: Houghton, Mlülln & Co.

a InIIa.American readers have become acquaint-

ed with Mr. G. W. Steevens, the Englishnewspaper correspondent, through hisgraphic letters and descriptive books ofwar and travel, a line of work in which hehas no superior. "In India" (Dodd, Mead& Co.) Is a record of his observations andexperiences in British India, and it wouldbe difficult to imagine a more delightfulmingling of history and description, offacts and anecdote, of serious discussionand vivid narrative than the book affords.From beginning to end it is a series ofdistinct pictures and ciear statements, thecomposite result being a very definite Im-pression of British India and its people andplaces.

The Bond of Blacks.This story, William Le Queux, is an un-

canny and unwholesome one. It turns onthe supposed existence In London of asatanic cult, or society of diabolism, themembers of which were in league withSatan, and under a black bond to servehim.. Two beautiful women, the heroines ofthe story, are drawn into the tolls of thesociety and only escape after many un-pleasant and tragic experiences to wedthe men they love. In spite of the ess

of the story it is told in a waythat makes it interesting, but it conveysno lesson and leaves no pleasant Impres-sion. New York: G. W. Dillingham.

In Old Tiexr York.This story is the Joint work of Wilson

Barrett, author of "The Red Cross," andElwyn Barron, author of "Manders." Theperiod of "In Old New York" is when NewYork was an English-Dutc- h colony, and.of course, long before the outbreak of thewar of the revolution. The story openswith a horse race and closes with a duel,and between these events there is actionenough, with beautiful women and typicalmen of the period as actors, to make astory that is not only Interesting in itself,but also for the atmosphere of coloniallife that surrounds it. Boston: L. C. Pago& Co.

A Story for tLe Girls."The Ferry Maid of the Chattaboochle"

Is, as the title indicates, a tale of theSouth. The ferry tnald is a little girl who,through her father's Illness, Is compelledto operate a ferry and become the sup-port of her father and a young sister. Shehas various adventures and numerous dis-couragements and misfortunes. Including

.the earning away of the boat by a freshetwhile she was on it. She comes into goodfertun at last, however. There is a greatdeal of unnecessary dialect in the book, butIt Is a readable little tale. The Pcnn Pub-lishing Company, Philadelphia.

Political Economy of Natural Law.This is a fourth edition of a work already

sideration of new literary material, bothfor book and magazine publication. Theirimportant books will be republished atonce, all plates having been saved, but evi-dently they are ready to make a freshstart in certain directions. This hint willbring a flood of manuscripts, no doubt, butIn connection with the suggestion comesthis chilling remark: "Notwithstanding themass of manuscript with which the lead-ing publishing houses are deluged, the com-plaint, both in England and America, isthat the quality is bad. The cry is forfresh, individual work, - and, consideringthe universality of education and culture,the dearth of this is amazing."

CONGRESS THIS WEEK.

The Philippine Question and theFinancial Bill to Be DUcnssed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. It The Senate willprobably resume consideration of the Pettl-gre- w

resolution, making request for certaininformation concerning the beginning ofthe war in the Philippines, on Mondaymorning. Tht3 will be succeeded at 2

o'clock by a speech on the financial bill bySenator Rawlins, of Utah, if the presentprogramme 13 followed. Senator Pettlgrewwill continue his speech on the Philippineresolution, and after he concludes SenatorBerry, of Arkansas, will take the floor fora general speech on the Philippine problemif sufficient time remains of the morninghour. When the Pettlgrew resolution isdisposed of the Hoar resolutions will sup-

ply food for talk each day in the morninghour, and after that the Hale resolutionconcerning the seizure of American goodsby Great Britain will be taken up. It isSenator Aldrlch's announced purpose topress consideration of 'the financial billeach day after the conclusion of the morn-ing hour, but It is not probable he will suc-ceed in securing a dally speech on that sub-ject. Senator Teller probably will speaksome time during this week, after SenatorRawlins concludes. It is also understoodthat Senator Daniel will be heard soon onthe question of the finances. Other ad-

dresses on this subject will come later.Consideration of the Samoan treaty in ex-

ecutive session will be resumed if thelegislative work permits, and Senators Ba-con and Money will make speeches in op-position to it. It is also possible that thereport in the ijuay case may be presentedlate in the week.

The House will plunge into the routinework of the session this week. Most olthe time, excepting Friday, which has beenset apart for paying tribute to the memoryof the late Vice President Ilobart, will bedevoted to consideration of appropriationbills. It Is expected that both the urgentdeficiency and the pension appropriationbill will be passed this week, the formercontaining as it does many millions for tharmy and navy, may raise the whole ques-tion as to the Insurrection in the Philip-pines with its allied issues and lead toa very protracted debate. How far the Re-publican leaders will allow the debate torun has not yet been determined, but If theDemocrats are Insistent and persistent theycan hardly refuse them several days inview of the large amount of the appropria-tions Involved. The pension appropriationbill is also likely to cause some spirited de-bate, owing to the disposition In certairquarters to criticise the conduct of thePension Office. Attempts doubtless win bemade to . legislate on the bills reversingsome of the pension commissioners' rulings,but as all such legislation is subject toa point of order it will fall. There is nopresent prospect that the Roberts casewill get into the House before next week.

WORK OF A I0NE ROBBER.

Ttvo Restaurants In Kansas CityGleaned Out in Five 3Unutes.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.. Jan. 14.- -In trueWestern fashion, a lone robber, maskedand armed, cleaned out two restaurantsin the center of tho city at 6 o'clock thismorning, under the glare of the electriclight. In the Lewis restaurant at No. 1210Walnut street, he pointed a pistol at Stan-ley Brushwood, the cashier, and tapped theregister whilo he kept his revolver in plainview of two customers eating nearby. Thocontents of the register had been trans-ferred to the safe but a few minutes pre-vious and the robber secured only a hand-ful of change. He then gave the waiterand the two customers a parting word ofwarning and ran across the street to thorestaurant of Robert McClintock. Here therobber covered Cashier Joseph Drysdale,and commanded two waiters and threecustomers to hold up their hands. Theycomplied promptly and the robber emp-tied the register in a twinkling, lie pock-eted the entire contents, $H6, and, backingoui ui me uoor. encountered a grocery so--licitor. Ho iMjked his revol thesolicitor's face with tho command not tomake an alarm and forced him int therestaurant, where all the others still stoodwun arms upsiretched.

At this instant the robber darted down anearby alley and disappeared. Hardlymore man nve minutes were consumedat both jobs and the robber had plentyof time to get away before the scaredvictims had recovered composure.

UNDER REPUBLICAN RULE

HENRY COXTSTY JL'S OBJECT LESSONFOR TAX-RIDDE- N COMMUNITIES.

Text of Chairman Hercly'a Speech atSaturday's Convention Work of

Two Parties Reviewed.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ,

NEW CASTLE. Ind., Jan. 14. Henrycounty Republicans, who are proverbiallyharmonious, held a characteristic countyconvention Saturday. All the party lead-ers were here, Including State Chairmanllernly and Senator L. P. Newby. Duringthe convention it was said that Mr. Hemlynever felt the need of a telegraphic serv-ice to tell him the result of the electionsthroughout the State, as it was his claimhe could tell the way the State was goingby the vote In his own precinct. Duringthe speeches which followed the selectionof delegates the statement was made thatHenry county furnished the best possibleargument in favor of continuous Repub-lican rule in local affairs, in that for fortyyears not a Democrat had been electedto office in Henry county, and that dur-ing that time, dating back to the presi-dential campaign of John C. Fremont,there had never been a defalcation by anofficeholder in the county. Good roadshad been built and public buildings erectedand kept In good condition and at the pres-ent time, Henry county is free from debtsof all description and has a cash balanceof $55,000 in bank, with the lowest rate oftaxation in the State. For the first time inthe history of any county, Henry countyhas a delinquent tax list too small to pay'the expense of publishing it and as a re-

sult there will be no sheriff's sales in thatcounty.

Aside from the smoothness of the pro-ceedings, which made the convention re-

semble a lovef east rather than a politicalmeeting, the most noticable thing was thespeech of Chairman Hemly prepared, as hesaid, during the noon recess. It follows:

"My Fellow-citize- ns I feel under moreobligation than it is possible for me toexpress to my friends and neighbors inmy home county. Whatever of success Ihave attained, either in politics or busi-nesses due first to my friends and neigh-bors in Henry county; and I thank youmost cordially for your friendship and con-fidence. To preside at a Republican mas3convention in this grand old county ofHenry, where Republicans have met tomake arrangements for the battle of1000, is a great honor, and I re-turn to you my most cordial thanks forthis recognition of your confidence. Therehave been great political contests in thepast between the two dominant partiesfor supremacy, and each campaign hasbeen one of great importance to the peo-ple, as well as to the welfare of our Re-public. And it is customary to say, as weapproach each presidential election, thatthis is the most important one that wehave ever confronted. But I think thesame Is truer of the coming campaign thanany we have entered upon since 1S64. Thereare many new questions before us, and anew era of things has dawTned upon us.We shall end this old century and becrina new one with the greatest and mostserious questions confronting us that haveever been presented to the people. Hence,the Importance of this campaign cannotbe overestimated, and our party shouldpot be overconfident of success. It is agreat undertaking to elect a President,and wo can only be successful by theactive, harmonious and enthusiastic sup-port of every Republican.

CAUSE FOR CONGRATULATION."The Republican party has cause to con-

gratulate ' herself upon her achievement,both in the State and in the Nation. Shocan be proud of ner record of redeemedpromises which has been given throughher state and national platforms, and be-

fore I go farther I want to call attentionto some of the conditions of our stategovernment. The passage by the latLegislature of the county and townshipreform laws, at once places the greatState of Indiana in the front rank of hersister States on the question of local gov-ernment, and notwithstanding the opposi-tion to these laws at the time they wereenacted, they have come to stay and theprinciples of government contained inthese laws will forever be a part of ourlocal government and they will bo fullyappreciated when once in full operation,in a wholesome reduction of taxationwhich they will bring to the people, andother States In the Union will follow In-diana in her lead in the management oflocal government. Too much praise can-not be given to the wise, prudent and eco-nomical management of all our State institutions under the Republican control cfour state affairs. The State debt is beingpaid off under this administration tndsoon she will be free from debt; the bur-den of taxes to pay interest and principalwill be taken oft the shoulders of thepeople and Indiana will be one of theStates of the Union that can be looked towith pride by all of her sister States.

"The magnificent victory for our partyin 1898, amid so much apathy, shows whatcan be done by a thorough organization ofthe precincts, and I cannot let this oppor-tunity go by without expressing my sin-cere and cordial thanks for the faithfuland honest work done by the precinct com-mitteemen throughout Indiana In that cam-paign, and ' want to testify now that onthe integrity and activity of these mendepends the success of the struggle we arenow entering upon, and I bespeak for themthe assistance and co-operat-ion an! loyalsupport of all their fellow-Republican- s. Iwant to Insist on the point of the im-portance of this campaign, made so by themany new questions .1 have before suggested, which call for the careful andthorough consideration of every voter.Among the many new questions whichconfront us in this campaign none is moreimportant than that of expansion. Sincethe last presidential campaign we hav-- j

acquired a vast area of new territory andthe flag of our country has been plainedon the large expanse of rich and produc-tive islands of both hemispheres. Theeislands are now a part of the UnitedStates as much as this State of Indianais part of our own great country. Inpart of this new territory there is nowgoing on a rebellion against the UnitedStates to govern her own territory. Theinhabitants of these islands who are hirebellion are traitors to the flag and theresidents of this county who are insympathy with them and who are aidingand abetting them in this rebellion areconspirators in this rebellion and are guiltyof treason and when apprehended shouldbe dealt with by the strong arm of ourgovernment as such.

v INSULAR PROBLEMS."Another of the great questions will be

the formulating of a stable and free gov-ernment for the islands of Porto Rico andthe Philippines and the settlement of theCuban question. The Republican party isbest fitted by her experience to carry tothose poor benighted people a governmentwhich will guarantee to them absolute free-dom and liberty and protect them from thegreed of other nations of the world.

"Another question is tho construction ofthe NIcaraguan canal so that the twooceans may be joined together and the dis-tance in passing from one part of our Re-public to another be so shortened thattime will scarcely be estimated in the pas-sage, and it seems as if nature narroweddown that strip of land between the Gulf ofMexico and the Pacific ocean on purposethat a brave and mighty people might per-form one of the grandest achievements Inthe history of the world by the constructionof a great water-wa- y across the same. Thetask is not too great. Our people will as-sume that responsibility and the Repub-lican party will go forward with that Im-provement and It will be another laurel tothe glorious things achieved by our party.

"The business and commercial Interestsof the Nation have grown to such unprece-dented proportions that financial legislationhas become necessary and the AmericanCongress, which is Republican in bothbranches, is at work in earnest on .thequestion of sound financial legislation andwill, by law, establish the gold standard sothat the measure of the value of a dollarmay not rest with the mind of the secre

tary of the treasury and not be changed atthe will of every administration. Therefore,the financial question is still one of theburning problems before us and we shallhave to contend with the old heresy of freedollars and cheaper money and the freecoinage of silver at the dishonest ratio ofIG to 1. But the American people rendereda verdict on that question in 1836 and Ifirmly believe they will in 1D0O render aJudgment on that verdict and again renewtheir loyalty and faithfulness. to an honestdollar, thereby closing the issue againstthe seductive cry of populism which hasbeen widespread over our land.

"Another of the vital new questions nowbefore us is that of trusts. This questionwill furnish the enemy a great opportunityto howl themselves hoarse. While It Is nota question of party politics, it affords afield for the Democrats to seek to arrayclass against class throughout the countryin that peculiar Democratic way of whichthat party has a monopoly. Already thopaid agents and hired walking delegatesand agitators of the Democratic party aregoing throughout the country pouring intothe ears of the laboring people the tale ofdiscord and discontent. They are seekingto dissatisfy the workingmen with presentconditions and are trying to bring aboutstrikes and lockouts in order to array theemploye against the employer. In thisthey will certainly fail and go bankrupt.We have not got far enough past theDemocratic souphouse period of 1S33 to 1895to enable the enemy to be successful withthat cry of demagogy. The laboringjnen and their wives and children rememberthis one green spot in the field of Demo-cratic achievement that era based onDemocratic promises, full of despair, want,woe and misery; that era of Democraticcontrol, the first in thirty-fiv- e years, and Ihope the last for a hundred more; the eraof black despair and hungry slumbering ofall labor and commercial interests of ourcountry; that era which yet hangs like apall over the people, so fresh In the mindsof all that new stories are yet being toldof those dark days. .

DEMOCRATS DID NOTHING."The partyv which had complete control

of every branch of our national govern-ment during that era wras powerless andlelpless to do anything to bring relief, andthe people suffered through it all. TheDemocratic party, during that period,passed no law against trusts. With theirdesire now to charge this condition againstthe Republican account, they passed nolaw against the trusts, which they claimhave been formulating for years. Why didnot this party, with the control of Con-gress in both branches and a President,pass a law against trusts? The only lawwhich has ever been passed seeking to reg-ulate trusts and combinations or looking totheir control in any way was passed by aRepublican Congress and signed by .a Re-publican President, and the grand old partyof the people must and will continue tolegislate on this question in the interests ofall the people, and will relieve every evilresulting from these combinations as theyarise, for the good of all the people, with-out regard to classes. And, without nowstopping to discuss or to enter into the de-

tails of the many ways that have beenproposed and suggested for controllingthese gigantic corporations and combina-tions, there is no doubt in my mind butthat the Republican party feels the neces-sity and will enter on Its duty and dis-charge the same without fear, and controlthe trusts and combinations so that theprosperity of the country may not bebroken up and demoralized by such legisla-tion. I am heartily in favor, and shallinsist, that these corporations be dealtwith, and that they be made to pay theirjust share and expenses in the way oftaxes to the government, and that theybe made to bear their Just proportions ofthe burden. And, under the era of goodtimes which has come to us by the match-less administration of President McKinley,the Republican party will not only solve,but will solve honestly and rightfully, allof these great questions.

"I said matchless administration of Pres-ident McKinley one that stands out likethose of Lincoln and Grant. What a con-trast between the two eras Democratic1S93 to 1897, Republican 1S97 to 1900. I canonly enumerate In part and contrast onewith the other: Democratic era, things de-

stroyed;. Republican era, things done. Dem-ocratic era, black and wasteful; Republicanera, happiness and prosperity. Democraticera, pledges broken; Republican era, ofpromises redeemed. Democratic era, emptygranaries and storehouses, low prices; Re-publican era, high prices, all storehousesfull to overflowing. Democratic era, nowages, no work; Republican era, plenty ofwork at increased wages. Democratic era,debt-creatin- g; Republican era, debt-payin- g.

Democratic era, no confidence, businessparalyzed; Republican era, brotherhood ofman restored, business unequaled. Demo-cratic era, empty treasury, bonds sold topay expenses; Republican era, treasuryfull, interest paid in advance, bonds re-

deemed before maturity. Democratic era,old glory hauled down in Hawaii; Repub-lican era, the old flag hoisted over newpossessions, to remain forever. Democraticera, sacrifice of national honor and dignity,and cowardly backout from responsibility;Republican era, splendid achievement onland and sea and millions of slaves set free,splendid administration of McKinley, vic-torious on every hand, great things done

wonderful achievements in passing fromone era to another. It is like passing fromthe burning sands of the desert to refresh-ing green glades, with cool breezes andsparkling water. We can continue the pres-ent conditions by the election of McKinleyand thereby have a hope for the future."

Statement That Shows New York laLoalnsr Prestige as a Shipping

Port Our Beat Customer.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. The rivalry be-

tween the great Atlantic and gulf portsof the United States regarding their rela-tiv- o

share In the exportation of the prod-ucts of the country lends Interest to aseries of statements just completed by theTreasury Bureau of Statistics, showing theexports of corn, wheat and flour from theUnited States during the calendar year 1893

compared with preceding years. The fig-

ures, it should be premised, chow a fall-ing off in exportation of wheat in 1899, ascompared with 1898 which was an abnorm-ally heavy year; the corn exports of 1S99

are about the same as those of 1SDS, butgreatly In excess of any preceding years,while the flour exports of 1S99 are slight-ly larger than those of any precedingyear, being 18,900,000 barrels, against 16,-569,-

in 189S and 17,403,713 barrels In 1S92.

Exportatlons of corn have grown stead-ily during the decade, starting with S6,-000,- 000

bushels in 1S90 and ending with 207,-00,0- 00

bushels in IK), the growth havingbeen steadily upward and no precedingyear equaling the figures of 1S9S and 1S93.

In wheat there has been a much great-er fluctuation, the years 1S91 and 1S92 show-ing an exportation of nearly 130,000,000

bushels each, 1894 and 1893 dropping toabout one-ha- lf that quantity, while1593 made the highest record of ourexportatlons. with 149.245.6S5 bushels, 1S99

again dropping to about the normal oraverage amount with 111,000,000 bushels.Flour has steadily increased, the exportsof 1S90 being 11,319,456 barrels, and thoseof 1S99, IS.900,000, an increase of over ZO

per cent.The following table chows the exporta-

tion from the United States of corn, wheatand flour in each calendar year from 1S90

to and Including 1S99. the figures of 1S99being subject to slight revisions:

The analysis of movement of export byports shows that in the exports of cornseveral of the great ports on the Atlanticand gulf are gaining upon New York andthat the movement from the grain fieldstoward the seaboard Is apparently beingmore generally distributed than formerly.The exports of corn, for instance, fromthe port of New --York incrtased fromthirteen and a half rnllllon to forty mil-lion bushels between 1893 and 1S99, an In-crease of 200 per cent., while those fromBoston Increased from five and a half mil-Io- ns

to seventeen and a naif millions; thosefrom Philadelphia,

- llll .from four millions tol

xweniy-nin- e millions;, itauimore, iromseven and a haif millions to forty-si- x mil-lions; New Orleans, from six and a haftmillions to twenty-tw- o millions, whileNewport News and Galveston, for whichthe record begins with 1S95. show for New-port News an increase from four and a halfmillions in 1S95 to fourteen millions in 1S33,and Galveston from one and one-four- th

dUloiu la 15 to seven million la

Thus Philadelphia, Baltimore, NewportNews, New Orleans and Galveston show amuch larger percentage of growth in theirexports of corn than does New Ycrk orBoston.

In wheat exportation Boston has madegreater gains than any other Atlantic port,the total having grown from 2.9C4.125bushels in 1S93 to 11.5C7.847 In 1S99. whileat New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore andNew Orleans the figures for 1899 are Ineach case actually less than in 1S33. thefigures for New York being 36,437.4i3bushels in 1S93 and 26,8C0.3S6 in 1S99; Phila-delphia, 5.C57.39S bushels in 1893. 4.012.927 in1S99; Baltimore, 13,048.702 bushels in 1893and 9,549.270 in 1899, and New Orleans. 12,-806.- 734

bushels In 1893 and 11.5C2.S12 in 1899;Galveston, however, shows a marked gain,the figures for 1S96 being 5,428.369 bushels,and those of 1833, 15,713,400. lrior to 1S36wheat exportatlons from Galveston weresmall, seldom reaching one million bushels,but in 1S36 .they amounted to 3,423,303bushels and nave steadily grown until, asalready indicated, they were in 1S9S 15,-713,- 400

bushels, In spite of the fact that thetotal exports of wieat from the UnitedStates in 1839 were materially below thoseof the preceding year.

In flour also the drift appears to be awayfrom New York, whose exports of flourIn 1S33 were 6.41S.931 barrels, and in 18994.741,035, whilo Philadelphia, Baltimore,Newport News, Norfolk, New Orleans andGalveston show more or less increases ia1899 as compared witn 1S93.

BRITAIN OLH BEST CUSTOMER.

Annually Takes Over Half Oar Agri-

cultural Exports.WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-- Mr. Frank IL

Hitchcock, chief of tho foreign marketsdivision of the Agricultural Department,has prepared an interesting collation offigures showing for the first time the re-

spective amounts of our agricultural ex-

ports which go to the Eeveral countries otEurope and of the other continents. Thoperiod covered is 1894 to 1S9S. The state-ment shows that the agricultural productsexported from the United States duringthe five years had an average annual valueof $6C3,536,20L Of these enormous exportsabout CO per cent, found a market In theUnited Kingdom and its various dependen-cies. The sum paid by the British peoplefor the American farm product purchasedduring the period mentioned reached ashigh as J403.953.S54 a year. Great Britainalone took more than one-ha- lf of all ouragricultural exports, the consignmentscredited to that country forming about 53per cent, of the total shipments and hav-ing an average annual value of J3C2,407,70LGermany, which ranks next to the UnitedKingdom as a market for the products ofAmerican agriculture, received about 13 percent, of the exports for 1S94-1S9- S, the av-erage yearly value amounting to $86,320,-27- 4.

France, with purchases that averaged$43,988,730 a year, or about 6.6 per cent, ofthe total, was the third country in im-portance. These three countries theUnited Kingdom, Germany and France re-ceived together nearly 75 per cent, of thetotal agricultural exports. After the threecountries just mentioned the Netherlands.Belgium, Canada, Italy and Spain alTordedthe most Important markets. The Nether-lands bought 4.3 per cent, of the total; Bel-gium, 3.6 per cent.; Canada. 3.5 per cent.;Italy, 2.2 per cent., and Spain, 1.5 per cent.The average annual values of the exportsto these countries were: Netherlands. $28,-803.1- 56;

Belgium, .731.003; Canada, $23..-51- 7;

Italy, $14,264,421, and Spain. $9 761.870.Brazil took $6.258.729; Cuba, $6.099.:4: Den-mark, $5,930,952 (exports to that countrydoubling during the five-ye- ar period); thoBritish West Indies, $3.241,657; Mexico, , $4.-636,-

British Africa. $4.128.920, and Eu-ropean Russia, $1,060,236. The average year-ly exports to Hong-Kon- g were valued at$3.555,5S8. and those to Japan at $3.407.800.For Portugal the average annual recordwas $2,709,694; for Sweden and Norway, $2,-C85.- 549;

for Haiti. $2,281,966, and for Brit-ish Australasia, $2.030,804.

The other countries to which the UnitedStates sent agricultural products during1S94-189- S, having an average yearly value laexcess of $1,000.000, were Austria-Hungar- y,

Venezuela, British Guiana, Puerto Rico,the Hawaiian Islands, and the French WestIndies.

These figures show that, with very few ex-ceptions, the leading foreign countries ma-terially Increased their purchaFts of Amer-ican agricultural products during 1S94-1S9- 8.

In the total value of the agricultural ex-ports there was an advance from $636.C33,-7- 47

In 1S94 to $85.507.942 in 1898, making again of $221.874.195. The countr.es of des-tination that contributed most to this in-crease were the United Kingdom, Germany,France, Belgium. Canada, th Netherlands,Japan. Italy, Denmark and British Africa.Our exports of farm produce to the UnitedKingdom increased $S2,5S8.854 during thefive years, to Germany, $16,441.338 and toFrance, $33.415,208.

The summary brings out the fact thatabout SO per cent, of all the farm produceshipped from the United States during thefive years mentioned was marketed in Eu-rope, the annual average being $5?.6.954.907.In 1S98 it reached as high as $761,570.782,showing an Increase of $133.5SS.9C3 over thovalue nr 1394. Of tne remaining 12 percent, tne chief part "went to Canada andthe other North American countries, aver-aging annually $48.724.257, or slightly morethan 7 rr cent, of the total. The recordsfor the five years show only a slight gain.South America took only 1.72 per cent, ofthe total, the average yearly value belnjf$11.389.776 and were le?s In 189S than 1894. ToAsia there was a marked increase duringthe five years, the value advancing from$3.S01.998 In 1S04 to $14.C71.349 In 1S38. Theyformed 1.16 per cent, of the total for thofive years.

The shipments of agricultural produce toAfrica, although constituting less ian X

per cent, of the total, also showed a notice-able Increase. In 1S3S the value amountedto $9,795.598 as compared with only $1.716.-8- 20

In 1894. This was a gain of $8.07S,77S. ToOceania there were agricultural exportsaveraging $3.3946S a year. The value for1S9S was $2.510,451, while that for 1S34 wasonly $1.963;l4S.
