FRIDAY. APRIL 15, 18B8.

SPAIN will hrive to fight or Hunk.

RECOGNIZE tbe belligerency of the Lower House.

A FEW companies organized from members of the House of Representatives and officered by jingoes from the Senate would be popular now. Then Spanish fur would fly!

IF this country must go to war let her go swiftly and terribly. It will be economic of life and of money for this nation, when once the dread contest is begun, to prosecute it with an awfulness and fury which will paralyze Spain and startle the world.

NEBRASKA State Journal: The offer of himself to the Governor by Senator Allen, to be used in any capacity in the forthcoming hostilities, has set people to thinking and it has been suggested that, fitted with a valve to compress his air, the Senator would make a very effective torpedo gun.

THE Spanish government evidently considers President McKinley's message radical enough. The Dons wouldn't care how much this country recognizes Cuban independence if that were all, but when intervention is suggested with recognition left out they see that the bull's eye is sot.

THE Republicans of the city are rapidly awakening to a sense of the situation and are preparing to sweep the city at the approaching election by a majority unprecedented in the history of Crawfordsville. They realize that not only the municipal interests of the city are threatened by the Democracy but that the success of the Republican party in the county is threatened.

FRANKFORT News: That was a hot liner that Alonzo G. Burkhart threw at Joe B. Cheadle at the Populist convention when he said on the floor of the convention: "I would rather be defeated and have the satisfaction of knowing that I had the solid support of my own county, than to be successful and with the vote of my county cast againstKme." Mr. Burkhart had received 13 of the 17 votes of Clinton .county.

AT the November election will Cheadie's name appear under the rooster or under the plow? The new election law forbids it appearing under both and there area good many Democrats, and a good nany Populists too, who want to knowiunder what flag the wily Joseph will elect to fly. There are Democrats who will not vote for him as a Populist and Populists who will not vote for him as a Democrat. Will Joseph or his local henchman please inform awaiting world?

IT takes money to make the war horse go, and to get the needful in case of war the Ways and Means Committee has agreed upon an additional tax on beer of SI a barrel, estimated to yield S35,000,000: a bank stamp tax on the lines of the law of isc6, estimated to yield 330,000,000 a duty of three cents a pound on coffee, ten cents a pound on tea and alike amount of internal tax on stocks of coffee and tea on hand in tbe United States, estimated to yield 815,000,000. The committee also agreed to authorize the issuing of $500,000,000 in bonds, to be offered for sale at all postoflices in the United States in amounts of S50 each, making a great popular loan to be absorbed by the people.

THE l'lUCE OF SHOES. Everybody who wears shoes—and that includes pretty much all of mankind—will be interested to know tbat the predictions that the price of shoes would be advanced by the duties placed upon leather and hides by the new law, have not been sustained by the facts. The latest reports on sales of shoes in the markets of the great manufacturing centers as given by the Shoe anil Leather licjinrtcr, show that although the sale3 of the past three months are the largest ever known, the prices are in nearly every case lower thBn those of last year. Men's grain bboes, which sold at wholesale at 81.0™54 on January ltt of last year, under the Wilson law, are reported at 81, March 23, 1898. under the Dingley law: creedmore bplits have fallen from 31 on January 1, 1897, to US cents on March 23, 1898 men's buff shoes from SI \1Vi on Janurry 1, 1897, to SI.15 on March 23, 1838: wax brogans from 97^

cents to 923tf cents men's kip shoes from 81 10 to 81 07% men's split boots from 81.30 to 81.25 men's kip boots from 81.35 to 81.30 women's grain shoes from 87% to 85 cents women's buff shoes from 80 cents to 75 cents. The report adds that "such quanties have been'sold that tbe factories are busy for a long time ahead."

The Jog Came Hack,

Trustee Syinmes had a dog and thereunto hangs a tale. When the luscious pawpaw hung in clusters on the parent stem and the "frost was on, etc." this worthless cur went with the boys in search of recreation and other things, and was lost in the mazy labyrinths of Ba'hinch. Probably heknew what fate was in store for Katie Simpson and all other canines about the Svmmes domicile on or before March 31, as he remained in sweet seclusion until day before yesterday, when he appeared at Sam's back door and claimed his erstwhile rations and his place by the kitchen range. Sam scratched the bald place on the Trustee's cranium and then hunting up the deputy assessor donated $1 to pay for deceased

Eheep

and iB now looking for

the other fellow who will not pay.

Pushing the Work.

The Bickhart mill and elevator is progressing nicely. The cellar is about completed and stone laying will begin in a few days. With three modern elevators Crawfordsville will be one of the best grain markets in Westfem Indiana. Let the good work go on.

THE DOG LAW.

An Erroneous Impression Prevails Regurding It—What tbe Law Keally Provides.

There seems to be a misunderstanding concerning the new dog law, and the Assessors are having all kinds of troublie in collecting the tax. Some people invite the Assessor out to kill the dog, saying that they have just been waiting to get the dog killed by the Assessor. Tbe law does not authorize the Assessor to kill any dog under any circumstances. Some men vow that they will spend a hundred dollars in a suit to keep from paying the tax to the Assessor. The substance of the law is as follows: "SECTION 1.—Each male or spayed female is taxed 81, and each additional one owned by the same person is 82. Every female, (unspayed) is 83 All dog tax shall be paid "immediately" to the Assessor. Tax is paid on all dogs owned, kept or harbored." "SEC. 2.—Assessor gives receipts for all dog tax paid to him, and keepR record of all persons owning dogs. In five days after the completion of the assessment, each year the Assessor shall turn over to the township trustee "all the records kept by him relating to the collecting and payment of dog tax and a copy of all receipts given by him to persons having paid him money as dog tax, and all money received by him as dog tax." "SEC. 3.—The sum turned over to trustee shall also be reported to County Auditor, who shall charge the trustee for the amount "aB receipts from the dog fund." "SEC. 4.—Any person who shall keep or harbor any dog, and shall not have paid the township Assessor the tax, shall upon complaint of any resident of the county be subject to a fine of not less than 85 nor more than 820." "SEC. 5.—The Assessor shall keep record of all persons not paying tax on dogs "owned, kept or harbored," and report the same to township trustee, who shall report the same to the Prosecuting Attorney, who shall bring action before a Justice or in the circuit court. The Prosecutor is to receive 85 in every case of conviction. "If any person shall acquire, own, harbor or keep any dog after the Assessor shall have completed ins assessment, he shall report such dog and pay to the township trustee of his township, the amount of dog tax as above provided, and receive his receipt for the same, which receipt shall exempt him from further payment of dog tax on dogs described in said receipt until tbe time of the next assessment of his township." "Sec. 6. An assessor or trustee failing to perform the duty required shall be fined from $10 to 820. "Sec. 7. Any person making a false statement concerning dogs over three months old, owned, kept -or harbored by him, can be fined as much as 8100. "Sec. 8. Any person owning, keep ing or harboring any dog, knowing that such dog has killed or maimed, chased or worried any sheep shall be fined in any sum from 810 to 850. It is also lawful to kill any dog known to have killed,'maimed, chased or worried sheep unless such dog is accompanied by its owner or some other persou. "Sec. 9. A person whokeeps, boards or feeds, or permits any dog to stay about his, her or their premises, and not holding the assessor's or trustee's receipt for the tax, is liable to a tine of not more than 810. "Sec 10. Persons owning a female dog and permitting same to run at large when in heat, can be fined from 85 to 820. "Sections 11, 12 and 13 relate to using money derived from dog tax in paying damage done to sheep, etc., by dogs. "Sec. 14. If any dog shall be found roaming over the country unattended by his master, or owner, or his owner's agent, it shall be lawful to kill such dog. "Sec. 15 Repeals all laws in conflict with this law."

Evangelist Moody's Meeting. Indianapolis Sentinel: This afternoon and night Dwight L. Moody, the famous evangelist will hold services at the Central avenue Methodist church. He has recently closed along and very successful series of meetings at Carnegie Hall in New York. He has for gome time been engaged in furthering another of his benevolent schemes for the benefit of the criminal classes in and out of prison, and is credited with having accomplished much good in that direction. He will be assisted by Mr. Maxwell, a singing evangelist, a native of this State, who has taken the place of Ira Sankey, who for many years traveled with Mr. Moody.

A Quiet Tip.

To tho Hditor of the Journal. While Mr. Ramsey is doing all be can to build up and improve north Green street, other owners of property in that vicinity should turn their attention to the unsavory inhabitants of tumble-down tenements and rid the town of their polluting influence. As long as the brazen effrontery of shameless men and women are tolerated in any quarter of a city, so long will real estate decline in that location. This is the trouble on north Easy street.
