MONTANA declares she will dig up 80,000,000 in gold this year.
GREECE seems to have jumped out of the frying pan into the fire.
THE Turkish pound is about SI 10. and the indemnity of 10,000,000 pounds would amount to 544,000,000.
THE unspeakable Turk is able to speak and demand 544,000,000 in money and a large slice of Grecian territory. In the present financial condition of Greece that sum would buy all of that country.
UF.NHV WATTKKSON says he wants no Cleveland in his. Cleveland says he wants no Bryan in his. Bryan says he wants no Watterson or Cleveland in his. O, what a happy family these Democrats are.
JAPAN intends to spend Si50,000,000 on its navy, which by 1906 will rival that of the United States and be far superior in certain details. The new Japan is a power that means to make itself felt in the East. It has its weather eye on Hawaii and Hawaii's only safety is that it be made a part of the Union.
THE quarrel which has broken out between the McCooks and the Logans has about as much interest to the country as the quarrel between two school children. What matters it to the average citizen of the United States what kind of a coat John A Logan wore at the coronation of the Czar, whether he wore a coat at all and had gone in his shirt sleeves? It wa6 none of the business of the McCooks to criticize his apparel.
IT was for the benefit of the laboring men and women of Japan that that country adopted the gold standard. A commission of her wisest statesmen and business men studied the subject for eighteen months and found that under the silver standard the cost of living had advanced much more rapidly than WBges had increased. The average cost of living in Japan increased U2 per cent, from lSTI! to ISSil, while wages increased only 33 per cent.
THE lobbyists, the Populists, and the Democrats are the three classes of people who are complaining because Speaicer Reed has not appointed his committees. The lobbyists want the committees appointed so that they can influence legislation in favor of their schemes, while the Populists and Democrats want an opportunity to air their oloquence and nag the Republicans by pressing their currency and other vagaries before the committees and Congress.
A J.AI'.GE number of prominent Methodist laymen of this State have issued a call for a mass meeting in Indianapolis on September 15 to advocate larger representation for the laity in the (Jen eral Conference. "Two and a half mil lion laymen," the call says "have but one-third of the representatives in the General Conference, while fifteen thousand preachers have two-thirds. The laymen furnish the millions of money to carry on the work of the church in all her various departments. The impolicy, to say nothing of the injustice, in denying them an equal voice in its disbursement and in the general management of the church is painfully apparent."
IT is said that President McKinly'sj message to Congress, recommendingi relief for starving Americans in Cuba
TIIE XEXX SEXATOUSUir. It is the intention of the friends of Gen. Lew Wallace in this State to present him a3 a candidate for election to the United States Senate, and press his claims by all honorable means. Going out of the usual, they are resolved to 6eek endorsement for him by the next Republican State Convention, believing such endorsement, will add strength to the party and inmre the success of the whole ticket, stud that his standing as a Republican, his ability, his high character, his emiuent fitness for the Senate, and the esteem in which he is held by the people of the United States, all so universally recognized, recommend him, past venture, to the most favorable consideration. The policy of endorsement by State conventions has worked so well in Ohio and Illinois as to inspire the belief that it will serve quite as well in Indiana.
The friends of Gen. Wallace who have entered into this movement do not think it in the least necessary to give his biography in detail: no living Indianian is better known throughout the State, the nation and the world: yet in this connection we may say with propriety that he is a native of Indiana, who, by his achievements in a variety of fields, has added much to the glory of his State. The earlier years of his manhood were spent in active practice of the law. He was a soldier in the Mexican war, and won fame as a General in the greatest of all modern wars, that for the preservation of the Union. In the latter struggle, he was among the first to enlist, taking from Montgomery county a company of men who became part of the famous Eleventh regiment, of which he was commissioned Colonel. Remaining until victory was assured by the ultimate surrender, he was mustered out as a Major General, the highest rank then known to our army To him the country is indebted—and we speak upon the authority of General Grant—for the salvation of the National Capital from a possible disgrace like that which befell it at the hands of the British in 1814.
By offers from the highest, source, he could have been a Brigadier General in the regular army: but, preferring civil life in time of peace, he applied himself and attained a world-wide reputation in literature, and as Governor of Mexico and Minister to Turkey manifested signal ability for aff iirs of responsibility other than military. In short he has been a loyal American citizen, an able general, a renowned author, a diplomat of distinction, and, if elected, will at once take rank as a statesman, being already known as gifted, patriotic, honest, eloquent, brave and true. As a trusted representative of the people lia is of the kind to defy the baser political elements, and be depended upon to advocate such measures as will be for the best interest of the whole land.
THE election of Hon. S. Mallory of the Senate from Florida leaves the Republicans less than one-half of that body. Counting Kyle they have but •14 members while the Democrats and Populists have 45. Had Oregon elected a Senator as she should have done the Senate would have been a tie. Herein lies the dilliculty of passing a tariff bill, but the Republicans hope to secure the votes of a sufficient number of Democrats, such as Senator EcEnery, to enable them to pass the bill. To do this there must be some concessions which may be disagreeable to the Republican members. One of these concessions is to move at a snail-like pace. Democrats know that this creates impatience and dissatisfaction, but this is to their liking and Republicans are helpless. They are helpless because they have been content to live under such villianous rules.

I.N sending his message to Congress yesterday the President evidently con ceived that the question of recognizing the belligerence of the Cuban insurgents to be of less importance than the higher duty of the United States to protect the interests of humanity. One issue is enough at a time, and the urgent issue now, the President believes, is the relief of starving American citizens in particular and starving Cubans in general. Substantial relief should bo sent from this country and demand should be made upon Spain for a change of policy. The Senate having pronfptly passed a resolution in accordance with the President's suggestions, it should have an equal prompt response in the House. The question of relief and the question of belligeraney are two separate and dis tinct propositions and the one should not be complicated with the other.

shipping was both Bteady aud quick. In 1890 the United States carried no more than 12 per cent, of its exports and imports. That is to say, after more than 100 years of national life the vast area known as the United States of America did much less than half the percentage of the shipping trade that was done prior to 1795 by the thirteen American colonies of Great Britain.
HERE is a sample of the way Past Department Commander Isaac fc\ Mack, of Ohio replies to the critipisms of soldier haters who think that too much money is appropriated for pensions:
The difference between the men who purchased a bond of the Government when money was needed to put down the rebellion and the man who was not able to purchase a bond, but was able to give himself, his health or his life to the Government is simply this: that in one case the man risked only his money, in the other case the man risked his life, his limbs or his health. There is still another more striking difference between the two—that the man who risked his money has received it back with enormous interest, while the man who risked his life, his limbs or his health, has either lost his life or lost his limbs or lost his health —some their lives, some their limbs and all health to a greater or less degree. In other words, the difference between the bondholder and the soldier is the difference between mere money and human bodies. It was gold against blood, the soldier risking his blood and the bondholder risking his gold."
THE statistics gathered by the department of public instructions show that last year tbe entire enumeration of children in the State was 7S!) 917, the enrollment 5211,345, the attendance 329,015, number in parochial schools 35,774. It will thus be seen that more than 250.000 children were not enrolled, and that of those enrolled 137.000 were absent every day. It will be the duty of the truant officers to see that these 250,000 children are kept in school. It would seem that the compulsory education law had not come any to soon.
JCiiforcing lOcom.iiiv.
Attorney-General Ivetchain has written for State Auditor Daily an opinion to the effect that, in the examination of accounts, where vouchers are disallowed by the Auditor, the appropriation for maintenance or expen&e of the institution or offices from whom the voucher was rendered, may, under the Mull law, be suspended until the amount illegally or excessively paid is returned to the State Treasury. The rigid enforcement of the new law has caused some of the officers and employes of the State to complain, and oue or two men have desired to know it it could be enforced. In the last two weeks a large number of vouchers have been disallowed, and under the decision of the Attorney-General the money expended must be paid back before the offending persons can draw anything more from the State.

In general, cool weather prevailed, and rains fell on several days. Light frost formed Saturday morning in many localities, too light to do injury. Vegetation and crops improved and advanced, but farm work, plowing for and planting corn were interrupted and delayed, and in the more northern counties much corn has to be planted yet the earlier planted corn is coming up nicely. Oats are now alt sown nesrly everywhere they are coming up well but a-e growing only slowly. Wheat has improved and is growing rank: in many fields it is jointing. Rye is in the best condition and is heading out. Clover, timothy and grass have grown rapidly clover is in bloom in localities the hay crop promises to be large in most counties. Tobaceo plants are in good condition and progressing. Gardens are not all made yet, but vegetables planted are coming up well, but slowly. The apple, cherry and sniall fruit crops will be large, plum and pear crops less and but very few peaches. Stock is in good condition on good pasturage. Sheep shearing is completed in the southern and central portions, and it has begun in the northern portion.
