The town of White Pigeon, Mich., claims to be run as cheaply as any town in this country. Last year it cost the 800 inhabitants $1,325 for expenses.

Walker, of Kirksville, Mo., holds a record that really should bring him an appointment of some kind from the president. He is a great-grani'- father at the age of 59 years. At 19 he was a father and at 38 a grand father. He is the father of 14 children, the oldest being 39 and the youngest four years. He has 25 grandchildren. His one great-grandchild is the daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Watts, of I'ana. 111. The intention of J. Pierpont Morgan is now said to be to present the whole of his art collection to the United States government, provided congress will remove the tariff restrictions upon its importation to this country and furnish a suitable building and custo dians for its proper care. Mr. Morgan has purchased many paintings, sculp tures and curios of great artistic value which he now has stored in London and at various places on the continent. Before leaving Dallas for his home in Gainesville, United States Senator J. W. Bailey authorized the statement that all of his Grapevine Prairie ranch has been sold. This closes Mr. Bailey's farming operations in Dallas county. Senator Bailey said he had sold tiio place because it was impossible for him to pay attention to it. He had, ho said, spent one day on the farm in 18 months and such inattention as this would never bring in any profits. It is seldom that anything but mul berry leaves are employed to feed silk works in France. Very rarely the worms hatch before the mulberry leaves are out. and on such occasions t ley are fed young rose leaves for a few days. About 90,000 acres of land in France are planted in mulberry; 40,810 pounds of leaves are necessary to produce 2.2 pounds of cocoons. The production of fresh cocoons from ono ounce of eggs in France varies from 45 to 147 pounds. From New York to San Francisco in ten hours, on a train of cars without wheels, drawns at the rate of 3uo mile* an hour by a one-horse-power locomo tive, and operated at one-sixth the cost of an ordinary railway—this is the achievement promised for a new sys tem of railroading Invented by Prof. A.

ROOSEVELT PREFERRED. \Ne«(frn Democrat* anil I'optilimtN liiiou Where LI« K MIIIMIH nutl lleNpeet Hint. A western democrat, who is a l T nitedi States senator, said in Washington t lie other day:"it will be very difficult for the democrats to nominate a man w ho can poll the full democratic vote in the west against President Hoose velt." In giving: his reasons for holding this view, the democratic senator fsaid: "A democraticcandidate for pres ident woulil have to lie as radical as Bryan to hold •the radical democrats, and those democrats who are conserv ative would prefer ltoosevelt- and the conservatism of his party to the con servatism of even Mr. Cleveland, elected by the radical party." .In other words, this democratic sen ator believes that many of the demo crats who voted for McKinley in 1800 and in 1000 will vote for Roosevelt in 1904, and, in addition, many of the democrats who voted for Bryan in 1000 will vote for Roosevelt in prefer ence to Cleveland in 1004. In the view of this democratic sen ator the Bryan democrats will sup port Mr. ltoosevelt, not because he rep resents their views or their policies, but because of his courage in attacking trust evils. Many, populists, it is de clared, who left the Republican paVty years ago will return because "Presi dent Roosevelt has restored confidence in the republican party as a party of the plain people as well as of the rich and powerful. He is the most popular president we have ever had, so far as popularity is based on confidence in the courage as well as the integrity of a great executive." On the same day that this declara tion was made in Washington, former State Senator Edwin Taylor, one of the populist leaders in Kansas, said, in an interview: "Between Wall street and Roosevelt, T stand for Roosevelt. He is our man for next year's race. He is not exactly our kind of people, but he has courage. Kansas will give Roose velt 100,000 majority, but lots of the Kansans who will vote for him willcon tinue to hate his ideals." If either of these interviews indi cates a political tendency both are significant. The conservative as well as the radical democrats of the west, "the silver republicans, and the popu lists who were formerly republicans are represented as facing toward Roosevelt because they haveeonfidenee in him even the most radical among them supporting hiin because of his conservatism and. his courage in car rying out his convictions. These interviews were given to the public after the president had visited many of the western states and had met the people face to face, after he had made several notable speeches de fining his policy on the more impor tant questions now before the two po litical parties. Republicans, democrats and popu lists have heard or have read these speeches. They know where Roose velt stands. They know tha't he repre sents an unwavering republican policy, and yet they prefer him to any dem ocrat likely to be nominated for the presidency in 1004. WILL BE NO CHANGE. Protective TiirlfT I'oliey \\ ill Vot Suf fer at tlie Hamla of lona ItepiiblieaiiN. The "lowa idee," like every other divergence in the republican party from the protection policy, has gone into retirement. The tarifT plank which will be a part- of the lowa, repub lican platform has been supervised by the able and experienced mind of United States Senator Allison, and when submitted by the latter to the inspection of United States Senator Aldrich. the leading tariff expert in the senate, has received the approval of the latter senator. This ought to be suffi cient to show that the protective policy is not to be rapped by the lowa repub licans. It is perfectly In order to leave all attacks upon the tariff policy to the democratic party, which has a con sistent record for attacking every thing which has conduced to the pros perity of this country. The democrat ic party will need some issue of nega tion. and the republicans would just as soon whip their competitors on the question of the tariff, as has been done so often before, as in any other con troversy. Republicanism without the idea of protection of home industries would certainly not be the republicanism of McKinley or Harrison fir any of the great leaders who have marshaled the republican hosts to electoral victory. —Troy Times, CMr. .Tames TF.

TREASURY AND PROSPERITY. liorxc Krvrnnra nnil I norf niril lui yurlN It |'«III(li IIK from Wltr Trmle Policy. Most people were looking - for only a small excess iiv the government's re ceipts over its expenditures in the fis cal year l'JlKt. The last of the war taxes had been repealed, ami that source of revenue being 1 removed, it/ was natural to suppose that the gov ernment's income would shrink con siderably. The falling off, though, has been slight. The customs receipts are larger than fort he same time last year, while the internal revenues for the ten months just expired of the fiscal year are only $.'15,000,000 shorter than they were in the same time in the pre ceding' twelvemonth. The surplus of receipts' over expenditures for the, ten months is slightly in excess of $35,- 000,000. Of course, this, is a result of the business prosperity of the country, saysi the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The people are buying more of every thing than they were a year ago. The imports have increased, making, as is well known, a much larger income for the government from that source than had been looked for. There has been a large consumption of all the articles on which internal taxes are levied. These circumstances make the calculations of the leading experts of the country regarding the government's probable income vary widely from the facts. From the present indications, the surplus for the fiscal year will come close to the $50,000,000 mark. This may incite attempts for further reduc tions of the revenue next winter, but it is safe to predict that nothing of the sort w ill be agreed to. So long as the present prosperity lasts there will be large revenues, even from the pres ent taxes, and the prosperity is like ly to last several years more. Hut it would be unwise to cut down the gov ernment's income by legislation any farther at this time. The tendency of its outgo will be to increase. A? the country grows in population and in the number and extent of its activi ties. the cost of government will neces sarily expand. The present treasury outlook is encouraging, but the sur plus is not large enough to be burden some, and is not too large for safety In the treasury, ns well as in com merce and industries, the notion's great prosperity is reflected. IOWA TARIFF TALK. It I-UII ril i IIH till- Adoption of n I*ln ■■ K l-'n vorinur >* Clintiite in Scheduled. A dispatch from Kioux City. la., con tains \\ hat purports to be an out line ol the tariff plank that will be favored foi adoption by the national republican convention next year by President Roosevelt, Senator Allison and Gov Cummins, of lowa. It is intimated thai an agreement has been reached by the three republican leaders named foi the adoption of the "lowa, idea" with respect to the tariff, "with some modi fications," which is, perhaps, a qualify ing and saving clause, says the Cleve land Leader. Of course this is gossip. Nobody car tell now, a year in advance of the as sembling of the convention, what tin tariff plank of the republican platforir will be. One statement in the dispatch is, however, correct, namely, that the tariff plank will insist that "the ruling and uncompromising principle is the protection and development of Amer ican labor and industries." There is not a. sentence or syllable in any of the public utterances of President Roosevelt which indicates that he is in favor of departing in the least de gree from the doctrine of protection. Hi- has stood, absolutely and uncom promisingly. in line with his party upon 1 hat quest ion. |{epublicau> here and there may feel that something would lie gained by a revision of the tariff, but collectively th< y see no reason for attacking exist ing schedules. Every man of sense knows that, once the tariff is opened to amendment, there would be a gen eral assault upon the policy of protec tion. and doubt and uncertainty w oil It? surely result. After all. the country has enjoyed unexampled prosperity under the present tariff law.

Fifteen persons are known to have lost their lives and over a score of persons were more or less seriously injured. Near Norman, at the home of Dan iel McCurdy, a number of relatives and friends were spending the day and not a one in the house escaped death or serious injury. Two miles south of Upland German Lutheran services were, being held in a school house when the storm struck and de molished it, killing four of the occu pants, including the minister, and in juring a number of others. There were two tornados, both originating within a mile of Fair field. The first one moved to the northwest and the second off to the southwest. Omoha. Neb., May 27.—Fastern Ne braska was visited by another series of storms Monday night and yester day, several of which developed into tornadoes. One visited Hastings, near the scene of Sunday's heavy storms, and blew several buildings to splinters. Another struck Herman, 25 miles north of Omaha and a scene of a tor nado five weeks ago, which killed a dozen people. The home of D. It. Parish was demolished and Mr. Par ish, his wife and a child were seri ously hurt. Omaha also experienced a storm which blew several houses from their foundations and unroofed others. Accompanying the severe wind in every instance was a rain storm of unusual seevrity, and it is reported that several towns in eastern Nebras ka are flooded. Springfield, Papillion and Plattsmout.h reporting the worst conditions. The railroads suffered washouts in a score of places, and several bridges have been carried away or badly dam aged. One of the worst storms was nt Davy, a small town northwest of Lincoln, which resulted in the injury of 13 persons, none fatally. The storm in Lincoln did great damage, the loss on buildings being estimated nt SIOO,OOO. Des Moines, la.. May 2". —Town has been storm swept for the past 21 hours.

RELIANCE AGAIN WINS. rile N'ew Viielit Defeat* the (oiiNtltll llou and I lie Columbia. New York, May 27.—1n a gamely contested race yesterday the Reliance again led the way across the finish line, winning her second victory over the Columbia and her first over the Constitution. Two minutes and 51 seconds later the Constitution finish ed, and the crew of the new boat gave her such a cheer as she tie served. The Constitution had sailed a plucky race and had a right to share in the honors. From the start to the finish she had fought out every mile over the 30-niile course and on two of its legs had actually outsailed the new boat, a perform ance which restores tier prestige im perilled in her disappointing show ing in the drifting march last Satur day, and makes lier a factor to lie reckoned with in the selection of a cup defender. The Columbia was, for the day, out classed. FroiTi the very start she was never for a moment in the race. While the Reliance and Constitution were having it out between them selves all the way around the course, the former cup defender was tlrag ging along miles astern of them and when the Reliance sailed across the finish line the Columbia was more than two miles almost dead to lee ward. The Reliance beat her by 13 minutes and 51 seconds. ■ 'our tlni Killed In a nine. Pittsburg. May 27.

Pennsylvania Hrpiihllt-an l onvcnK AI«o KuinlnuU'd I'otir < andltlalcK I Stale Olllccn. , Harrisburg, Pa., May 28. —Tlie rt publican state convention on Wed nesday endorsed President Koosevclt for renomi nation and deelaretl against any change in the present!, tariff schedule. The state adrainis-H tration was strongly endorsed and ' no mention was made in the platform, of the Urady-Salus libel law enacted; by the recent legislature. Senator Quay declined to accept re-election as chairman of the state committee* and his colleague, Senator Boies Penrose, was chosen his successor. The convention was remarkable for the unanimity with which it disposed of its business and the lack of con test, for the four places on the state ticket. Senator William P. Snyder, of Chester county, was nominated for auditor general; William L. Mat thues, of Delaware county, for state treasurer, and Judges Thomas A. Morrison, of Mc.Kean county, and John J. Henderson, of Crawford county, for superior court judges. Judges Morrison and Henderson are at present members of the superior court by appointment of the gover nor and their nomination is for the full term of ten years. The plank in the platform endors ing President Rooosevelt for a sec ond term is as follows: "We commend and approve the ad ministration of President Roosevelt, who with great ability, fidelity and vigor, has enforced the policies of his lamented predecessor, William McKinle.v. and of the republican party. We favor his nomination and election to the presidency in 1004 and pledge thereunto the united support of the republicans of Pennsylvania." The last congress is praised for the passage of "many acts of the greatest benefit and advantage to the people," and of the question of tariff revision the platform says: "We affirm our unswerving loyalty to the republican policy of a protec tive tariff and deprecate any sugges tion of a general revision at the present time of the existing tariff law enacted in ISO". We believe it to be the dictum of wisdom to let well enough alone and not to imperil busi ness interests by any suggestions of present interference with revenue legislation. Permanence and stabil ity of tariff rates are essential to continued business prosperity." REORGANIZATION PLAN. Nine K"iii I'liuit* l<> be Controlled by a Sliip BSnil«li 11 <£ Combine. Xew York. May 28. —The plan for the reorganization of the United States Ship Building Co. was made public last night. It has been pre pared and will be carried out by a committee consisting of live promi nent capitalists. The plan provides for the organ ization of a company with the title of the liethleliem Steel and Ship Building Co. The properties to be taken over are: Union iron works, San Francisco; Hath iron works, Bath, Me.; Hyde Windlass Co., Bath, Me.; Crescent Ship Yard Co., Eliza beth port, X.

Also all of the capital stock (except directors' quali fication shares) of the Bethlehem Steel Co., owning the Bethlehem steel works and property in the boroughs of South Bethlehem and Northamp ton Heights. The United States Ship Building Co. and said allied corporations also own merchandise, bills receivable, con tracts, accounts, cash and other per sonal property. It is proposed that the new com pany in the acquisition of all the properties and :t#-ets of the ship building company and its constituent companies, including the Bethlehem Steel Co., and for the securing of ad ditional cash working capital, shall issue $12,000,000 of 30-year ."> per cent, first mortgage gold bonds. These will be secured by a first mortgage bond upon all the properties, includ ing the plant or capital stock of the Bethlehem Steel Co. and 'if the Beth lehem Iron Co.. subject only to the underlying mortgages of those com panies. The total capitalization of the new company will be $43,000,000 and its fixed charges will be $1.117,.150. To this should be added after the first five years $2">0,000 per annum fi>r (lie sinking fund to retire the new first mortgage bonds. To secure continuity in the man agement of the new corporation it is proposed to create a voting trust for a period of seven years. A tllnlMcr Ki<'iimniiinlr*lrd.
