No one hesitates to denounce the Georgia lynchers. But when men are white capped in Indiana—well, that is another question. Speculation and theory is goodjjenough for that.

has been whispered that a chief of police is likely to be appointed, and the marshal, whom the people elected given a smaller horn in the band, if not reduced to the cymbals. This would be bad business, and if the police board has any such notions they had better give it a dose of morphine. T.

The South Bend Times is out as an advocate of heroic measures to stop the outrages of negroes in the South It would stop it beyond question, but it is a remedy over which the great mass of the people could shudder.

Don't you know these are danger signals which point to pneumonia, bronchitis, or consumption itself

If you are ailing and have lost flesh lately, they are certainly danger signals. The question for you to decide is, •'Have I the vitality to throw off these diseases?

Don't wait to try SCOTT'S EMULSION "as a last resort." There is no remedy equal to It for fortifying the system. Prevention is easy.

Scott's Emulsion

prevents consumption and hosts of other diseases which attack the weak and those with poor blood.

SCOTT'S EMULSION is the one standard remedy for Inflamed throats and lungs, for colds, bronchitis and consumption. It is a food medicine of remarkable power. A food, because it nourishes the body and a medicine, because it corrects diseased conditions.

of Chicago University

was called to lecture at Galesburg, 111., and made some sensational charges, among them that the Maine was blown up by Cubans, and that President McKinley held the evidence of that fact and was withholding it. He denounced the administration as bringing on the war for the purpose of speculation and spoiliation. He then went for the scalplock of Wm. J. Bryan, and of his tour of Mexico. He said Bryan was his own press agent, and sent out his own telegrams about big crowds and so[forth. The president of Galesburg College is out of fix with the professor, and says he was to talk on anthropology and not politics. The professor himself is evidently bilious, and is talking through his hat.

reference to the bombardment of Samoa, the widow of the late Robert Louis Stevenson utters a protest. She is a resident of Samoa, and knows whereof she speaks. She says the President allowed no bombardment of Cuban towns unless they gave active offense, and Commodore Watson was ordered not to attack undeended Spanish towns. Then adds significantly: "Does the President keep his humanity for civilized countries alone?'" She declares that these Samoan villages are inhabited in war times by non-combatants, who now have to choose between warships and shells oil the one hand, and death in the bush on the other, and under such conditions women and children die like Hies. Women and wounded men were burned alive in their homes 1 ireel by the warships, and she wouders who will be held responsible for these disgraceful deeds, England or America. It is a very costly experiment both in money and morals, to engage in an imperial policy. If we did not know it before, we will soon learn the lesson.

trial of Dr. Gray for the mur

der of his paramour Malissa Skinner, commences Monday at Blootr field. His defense will be insanity. Dr. Gray had to all intents and purposes abandoned his family and was living in open and notorious adultery with the murdered woman, whom he had induced to abandon her husband. This had continued for two years. He at last bocame jealous of her and in broad daylight stabbed her to death with a surgeon's scalpel on the street. He has been confined at Jeffersonville since last December, to prevent his death by mobbing, and at his trial he will be protected by an armed posse of prison guards. He was insane they say. Insane or uot insane, he is a lecherous whelp who deserves to be punished with the extreme penalty. No one need shed any tears for the murdered woman, and still less sympathy shold be shown to her murderer. The wronged parties in this case are the wife and child of the one, the husband and child of the other. The outraged hearthstones stained with the black spots of lechery, and blood of murder, cry for justice.

There have been nine murders in Green county within the past few ypars and only only two convictions. jQbvfefxicflr Mount it is understood, jwill setod thb Attorney General of the state to assist in the' prosecution of Gray.

people of this country are now

getting their first taste of monarchy. Edward Atkinson, the great Economic writer is the first to feel the pressure. He has prepared, as President of the Anti-Annexation League, three pamphlets on the question which have been forbidden transit through the foreign mails by the postoffice department, as being seditious. The government desires to stop their circulation in the Philippine Islands. The first of these interdicted pamphlets issued last November is dedicated to President McKinley and is in support of the President's own proposition, that a "forcible annexation would be criminal aggression." The facts and and figures are taken from debates in Congress, and which were printed by the government. The second pamphlet was issued later when criminal aggressions had been committed in the islands. This is also a compilation from government reports and speeches, made in Congress. Mr. Atkinson says when a government interdicts and counts as contraband, a record made by its own representatives, he is convinced that it is close verging on imperialismThe Czar or Kaiser could not do worse. General Weyler, as an expert press censor, could get a job at Washington under such a rule. Mr. Atkinson also suggests that the mails be closed to papers printing the speech of Senator Hoar in which he uses these "seditious" words: "I cannot see the difference between lynching a southern postmaster and lynching a people because they think a government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed, and got those ideas from the constitution of the United States." But the expansion wing of the Republican party has cast Mr. Hoar overboard and calls him manj- hard names because he refuses to swallow something that is not Republicanism. At any rate this is the lirst touch of imperialism the American people have had since the days of King George. Many would welcome even imperialism if they could only interdict the circulation of newspapers which give truth to the public.

What We are Coming To.

Bishop Spaulding, of Peoria, at a great anti-expansion meeting at Chicago the other evening, took the following shot at the political situation as regards money and speculation, official and otherwise. It is full of meat and it will do many good to read it: "Our capital is fast becoming the most inhuman, the most iniquitous tyrant the world has ever known. Its tyranny is a blight and curse to those who possess it as well as to the multitude who are its victims. Commercial and manufacturing competition is becoming a struggle for existence fiercer than that which makes nature red in tooth and claw. We are hypnotised by the glitter and glare, the pompous circumstance of wealth, and are becoming incapable of a rational view of life. We have lost taste for Jsimple things and simple ways. We must have mighty armies and navies which shall encircle the earth to bring into subjection weak and unprotected savages and barbarians. Why? For glory? No. That is a standpoint we have left behind. For humanity? holesale murder is not humanity. Why? For money, more money, money without end.

When the real good of life escapes us money and what money buys seems to be all that is left. The men become cowards, liars and thieves. They cringe and fawn and palter. They worship success. They call evil good and. good evil. They have no convictions which are not lucrative, no opinions which are not profitable. Then all things are for sale, then demagogues are heroes, then opportunities for plunder are welcome, then the best policy is that which wins most votes and mast money.

The more we hold aloft from England the better shall it be for America. She has not an ally in the world, and there probably is not a nation in the world which would trust her as an ally. She has never loved us. She does uot love us now. An alliance with her would involve us in the difficulties and dangers by which she is confronted and from which we are free. The praises which she now bestows upon us are given with the design of drawing us into an.imperialistic policy and troublesome entanglements. Our wisest statesmen have always been opposed to militarism as a menace to our liberties. We want nothing more than the nucleus of an army, nothing which shall serve as a means of conquest at home or abroad, and, for my own part, I think a powerful navy a danger.

When the American people resolve not to hold What they never intended to take possession of they Will have little difficulty in Adding a solution of this Philippine difficulty."

Elk Lodge.

The Elks will institute a lodge here on Friday night at the

P. O.

S. of A.

An Aged Toiler.

Mrs. Martha Boyland, aged 70 years, is still engaged in the mauu faeture of rag carpels, for which she gets 12A cents per yard. Mrs. Boyland states that she has made $1.50 per day at this sort of labor, but age has shorn her of her strength and the amount accomplished now is not so great. She still has the wheel upon which she spun thetiax and thread at the age of eight years out of which her own dresses were woven. Mrs. Boyland was a woman of great strength and says she could shoulder a two bushel sack of grain with ease. Mrs. Boyland is a standing admonition to the crowd of loafers whose laziness is proverbial and whose loud cries of distress are heard on all sides daily. She is an example of the truth of the proverb, "where there is a will there is a wav."

Tore His Breeches.

Policeman McCoy met with quite a serious calamity yesterday while pursuing the festive and succulent mushroom through the jungles north of the city and incidentally looking for those "bad niggers," the Derricksons. He came home with one leg of his pretty blue trousers in a badly dilapidated condition, ana hanging in tatters about his Cascius-like legs. It wa^ a sad affair, and he has the sympathy of the communitj*. He will be able for duty to-day. They will be patched, but still blue.

Coolman Acquitted.

The Coolmans were arraigned before the mayor yesterday morning on complaint of Joshua Harlan charging them with profanity. It was clearly a case of spite on the part of Joshua whom it is said is some-what of a snorter himself at times. The mayor thought that he had not been very much hurt by the language which had assailed his ears, and the case was dismissed.

A Fight.

The Covington toughs and the employes of LaPearl's circus came into violent contact Monday, and as a result the aforesaid Covington toughs are wearing court plaster all over their faces and have their eyes dressed in beefstake trying to remove the traces of where tent pins were bounced from their heads and punches bestowed skilfullv bv the circus crew.

Leaves the Clas Company. Henry Wasson will retire from the service of the Natural Gas Company with the month of May. W. T. Miller will take his place with the company. Mr. Wasson will enter into business of his own.

Tied by Stilwell.

The knot which tied together in'the most approved style, Mm. McFalls, and Dove Rettiuger, ef Ladoga, was tied by Squire Stilwell. The groom was 52 summers old and the bride had seen the snows of 39 winters including the famous winter of 1898-9.
