SENOR SAGASTA and the entire Spanish ministry havejresigned. They stood faithfully by their country and endeavored to assist her according to their "lights." Their "lights," however, have been subjected to much criticism. That ministry was confronted by a dilemma, either horn of which was highly undesirable. On the one hand an ungovernable populace clamoring for a war, and on the other that war which meant destruction. No happy lot was theirs in history. The doom of Spain rested on them as Spaniards. That she has reached the lowest point now is scarcely to be believed. Absorption by some stronger power seems to be not far away.
THE smelters and refiners of precious metals in the United States nave just completed one of the most extensive combinations ever made. It practically covers the whole field of operation, including every important firm in the country. The little fellows will be crushed. The man who cannot combine must go out of business. Capital is a necessary thing. It makes possible great enterprises which could not be carried on by private individuals. But when used in such a way as to interfere with small industries and to reduce men of small means to dependent positions, it needs regulating and needs it badly. When shall it be?
IN the retirement of Senator Turpie the Senate loses one of its ablest members. He was a careful painstaking hard working official. Always conservative and just in his estimates of men and measures, he was influenced in his actions by profound convictions. He followed unflinchingly the course which he believed to be right, and always inspired the confidence of his constituents. After a long and eventful career in public life he retires with all honor to the name of Turpie.
NAILS have advanced ten per cent, within the past few days. Other forms of iron and steel have had .?2 per ton added to the price. The stove manufacturers have met and raised the price of stoves. The trust is beginning to make itself felt. What are we going to do about it? Pay the price, of course. Our lawmakers have 110 power to interfere with the sacred institutions of "legitimate trade."
THE bill forbidding the acceptance of passes by members of the Legisla ture and Judges was defeated in the House. The average legislator deems a railroad pass as one of the high perquisites of his office, and he will not relinquish it lightlj*. Nevertheless there is a decided sentiment in favor of depriving these officials of the privilege of accepting favors from railroads.
ERRV SIMPSON still carries a barbed tongue. He referred the other day to Congressman Cannon as an "old brass mouthed cannon" in replying to a remark of the latter. The man who inadvertently stirs up the Kansas statesman may find ampin room for sorrowful reflection after the dust lias cleared away.
Six more regiments are called for at Manilla. Dewey asks for more light ships.'J The Filipinos are exceedingly stiff-necked and obdurate heathen, but^Jdoubtless a little more familiarity with modern armaments will teach them the error of their ways.
A BAKING powder trust is the latest "industrial combination." Doubtless our biscuits will not now fail to "rise."
GOVERNOR MOUNT in inspecting a bill introduced by Representative Beardsley, and which had passed both houses without opposition, made a discovery which surprised him not a little. He found a clause which provided that "notes, mortgages and property of every kind" in the hands of a guardian shall be exempt from taxation provided the ward does not live in the city where the property is situated. Under such a provision a vast amount of property would escape taxation. The Governor lost no time in preparing a veto for that bill. He consulted with Mr. Beardsley and that gentleman too was surprised. He did not know what was in his own bill,and it seems that no member of the legislature knew it. When Beardsley was informed of the facts he desired the Governor to veto the bill. This little episode speaks well for the caution exercised by our law-makers in the prep aration of bills and in passing them. Just such gross and inexcusable blunders give rise to endless litigation. So long as laws are passed in this careless and haphazard manner just so long we shall have need of a legislature t» repeal laws made by former ones. If fewer private snaps were worked through, and more attention given to the consideration of the public interests, fewer blunders would be made, and the people would suffer fewer wrongs. The remedy for all this lies in the people's hands. If they see fit to choose incompetent or dishonest men to represent them, the}7 should not expect anything but blunders and disgraceful proceedings from them. There are plenty of good men in every county who could represent their constituents with honor to both. Let such be elected and there will be less room for the harsh criticism to which the present assembly has been subjected. It is not intended to imply that there are not many able and honest men in the present legislature* but there are far too many of the other sort. The best men are "innocent" of "deals," and often in their lack of knowledge of legislative methods, fall easy victims to the schemes of some deseigning lobbyist. The power of the "Third House" needs curtailing badly and the best way to do this is to elect the very best men available— men who understand their duty and who will fearlessly perform it.
THE Cubans have been fighting for years to gain their freedom. What shall they do with it? The difficuties whieh they have confronted in the past are insignificant compared with the problems of the future. There was but one thing to do then: Fight Spain with all the energy of hatred and de. spair—to win or die. Now a stable government must be formed for a people who know not what a good government is who have beeen engaged in a demoralizing guerilla warfare until unfitted for pursuing the usual eourse of industry who, oft betrayed, are filled with distrust of each other, and of their friends. If this people in be formed into a prosperous state without many revolutions and disastious outbreaks miricles are not then unknown in state craft. "It is easier to conquer a state than to govern it," and it would not be at all strange should the people of this country find that the lighter portion of the task has been accomplished in defeating Spain. It is true that unin^v patriotic Cubans appreciate the efforts of this country to help them, but among a large and turbulent class of ignorant and half civilized persons every action of our representatives is misinterpreted, and destroys the possibility of harmony. Good government in that island will be a matter of growth, and the people will have to be taught by precept and example what a systematic government is. It can be done but we shall find it no holiday task even with our extraordinary opportunities.
IF one should make a careful study of the host of bills which have been introduced by members of the present General Assembly of Indiana, it is extremely doubtful whether he should find a single very meritorious or necessary one, even though he should "seek earnestl}7 and with tears." Really those periodical out-breaks of lawmaking might 1x3 dispensed with for a decade or so, and no great harm result to the commonwealth. Of the making of laws is there no end?
THE closing hours of the General Assembly are witnessing some stirring scenes, and it is not likely that that honorable body will add to its reputation for peace, dignity and harmony. The latest is a fight in the Senate between Senator Drummond and a Sentinel reporter. This almost rivals the "Senatorial dignity" of the U. S. Senate.
THE Spanish government hat placed Admiral Montejo, whose fleet was destroyed at Manilla, under arrest and has ordered the prosecution of Gen. Linares, who commanded the land forces at Santiago. Spain is giving a forceful object lesson to those who aspire to lead her forces in the future. It is "with your shield or on it" with her.
SrEAKER REED refused to recognize "Little old fighting Joe" Wheeler in the closing moments of the session of the House. Gen. Wheeler asked for three minutes by unanimous consent, but Reed turned him down. Reed is still the "Czar," and Gen. Wheeler is still the gallant soldier, the luster of whose fame cannot be dimmed by any discourtesy from even Czar Reed.
THE investigation of that army beef goes merrily on. Each new witness discloses new facts as to its vileness. If a halt is not called something really scandalous may be discovered.
IOO Reward, 9IOO.
The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only postive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of Testimonials. Address,

Rascality.
We print the following from the Caxton Caveat, for the benefit of the public as the individual therein discribed might drift into town some day.
Local newspapers should warn their business men against a rascal who is operating, according to reports, as follows: He goes into a store and claims to have the same name as the proprietor, and is afraid that things will get mixed up, as he is going into business there. In case of goods being delivered there by mistake, will the merchant please take charge of them until he comes for them. The stranger then goes to a wholesaler and orders a big bill of goods, usually jewelry. The goods are sent. The sharper comes along and takes them away. As the goodnatured merchant has received the goods and allowed them to pass from his hands, he has to pay for them.
A Hard Fall.
Yesterdayjafternoon Chas. Myers slipped and fell on the ice in front of Lacey's book store, his head striking the stone walk with such a force as to render him unconscious. He was carried into the store where after considerable effort, he was revived. Later he was taken to his home on Marshall street in a cab where he received medical attention. The young mans injuries are painful but not serious.
A Hair Pulling.
Two women, neighbors, living 011 east Jefferson street, engaged in an argument, nearly resulting in a hair pulling. The trouble as to the outgrowthof a week's quarrel was the art jf bread baking. The trouble came to a sudden terminus by an east end groceryman asserting that Albright was the only up to date baker in the city.
Haverly's ilinstrels
Manager Townsley has been fortunate enough to secure the famous Haverly Minstrel Co. for Saturday night, March 11. The company which is the largest now traveling, comprises some of the finest minstrel talents in the country. A great many familiar names will be found in the Music Hall "ad" on another page.
Will Improve.
Anvoug other improvements looked for this spring will be a new front in the Rouutree building, on south Washington street, occupied by T. E. Weil's meat market. Mr. Weil will add a complete new outfit. The room will be vacated during its reconstruction.'
Junk.
Joo Goldburg has bought for junk the old and worn out machinery of the Indiana Wire Fenea Company plant, and he is now breaking it up and hauling it away. There are 35,000 pounds of it.
FROM PORTO RICO.
Young Mahlon Hanson Writes Inter-
estingly to a Friend Here.
Lee Myers is in receipt of the following letter from Mahlon Manson, who is with the Fifth U. S. Cavalry in Pork) Rico:
PONCE, PORTO RICO, FEB. 18, 1899.— DEAR SQUEE—Your letter was the second letter I received since I have been on the Island. We had a fine trip across the water, the weather being nice all the way, although nearly everyone of the soldiers was singing "Mister Captain Stop the Ship, I Want to Get Off and Walk." I was sick three days, that is I was pretty sick the first day out and did uot feel good for two days afterward. We started from Savannah, Ga., on the first of February, and sighted the Island about six o'clock on the morning of the 6th, and went by Morro Castle into the harbor at San Juan about 11 a. m. W7e passed a Spanish transport loaded with Spanish soldiers just outside the harbor' which came in about an hour after we did and was promptly escorted out again by a revenue steam launch. I think there was fever aboard here. WTe landed about 3 p. m. and unloaded the horses about 6 o'clock. There was not an accident on the whole trip until we unloaded the horses, when one of the fellows in our troop was hurt and had to be left in the hospital at San Juan.
We started from San Juan 011 the 10th and arrived at Ponce on the 15th. This is the most beautiful country I have ever seen, and I think it will some day be a great summer resort. The climate here now is about the same as we have up north in June. There is almost any kind of tropical fruit growing here. We passed any amount of oranges on the way, but the wild ones taste more like a lemon than an orange. You can buy from two to five large, fine oranges here for a cent in Spanish money. One of our dollars is worth $1.60 Porto Rician money. When you buy anything and pay in American money you get Porto Rician change unless you ask for American change.
Things are pretty high here. Eggs cost 5 cents each, bread 10 cents a loaf and American beer is 30 cents a pint. Native drinks are cheap enough^ but the natives are the only people who can stomach them.
John VanHook sends his best wishes. Say Doc Johnson is here. He is in the hospital corps about a mile from our camp. M. D. MANSON.
Funeral of Mrs. Denman. The funeral services for the late Mrs. W. L. Denman was held in Greencastle Sunday, and the remains were brought here for interment, arriving on the 1:15 p. m. train. The casket was opened at the station. Interment took place at Oak Hill. The pall bearers were W. L. Hulett, David Canine, William Webster, Ed Voris, Will White and M. J. Carroll. Many beautiful and appropriate floral offerings were made. A large number of friends from her old home and vicinity paid their respects to the dead. Many friends also came from Greencastle, among whom were Prof. S. A. Harris, James Browning, Treasurer of Putnam county, Mr. Houk, County clerk, and John Williams, The bereaved husband and relatives of the deceased have the heart-felt sympathy of the whole community in their hour of affliction.
Horse Thief Detective Meeting.
The Montgomery County Horse -Tnief Detective Association will hold its regular meeting in the small court room at 10 o'clock a. m. on the last Thursday of this month. Considerable business will be transacted at this meeting. .'
Sidener vs. The Monon. T. J. Sidener sued the Monon Railroad for damages to some hay, alleging carlessness 011 the part of the road's employees. The case was commenced in the circuit court this morning, but was dismissed before proceeding very far.
Snow Bound.
Both morning trains 011 the Monon were late this morning, great difficult is experienced by snow drifts. The south bound passenger struck a four foot drift south of Romney and for a time it seemed that a lay-out was iuevetable.
Howard County's Old People. John Moulder of Russiaville, is 94 years of age. The only older person in the county is Mary Forbes Cobb, step-great-grandmother of William Jennings Bryan,,who is 96 years of age.
