FRIDAY, JULY 29. 1898.

Spain finds it awkward to continue the war without a navy. And the wor*t is that it could not handle a navy if it had one.

On: foreign exports are looking tvell. especially of Spanish soldiers from Cuba. No commercial movement of the Reason is likely to be more profitable.

The sales of postal stamps for the fiscal year just ended amounted to §S3,000,000, a gain of nearly 4 per cant, over the preceding year. There is no better gauge of general business prosperity.

The three new battleships, Missouri," Maine and Ohio, will be sheathed in copper to prevent marine growth on their hulls. They will be ready for long runs when future circumstances call for distant operations.

Those two of Cervera's cruisers which are now being saved by the United States will show tip all right in the next fight they are in. They will have dnl'erent men at the guns and different men in command.

The army of the United States for the next few years is likely to go beyond the 100,000 mark. A considerable force in the aggregate will be distributed in Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippines, Ladrones and Carolines.

Thk total amount of revenue derived annually from the liquor trallic for public purposeB-in the United States is about §1811,000,000. This includes ordinary taxes on personal and real property, internal revenue tax, liceiibee, lines, and customs duties.

Tjik old line Democracy is respectfully referred to in an article published in to-day's Joi/hnai.. It is from the Crawfordsville Review, which has been the organ of the Democracy for over fifty years, and which shed the light in dark places when Joe Cheadle was "at the front shooting Democrats."

Isn't it about time that Joe Cheadle wrote that letter of acceptance he has been promising the Populists for the last two or three months? How he can accept the Populist nomination and run on the Democratic ticket is a matter which he will have some dilliculty in explaining to the satisfaction of the Populists hereabouts.

Will H. Thompson is whatsomebody has called a "naseitur poet" and his poem on Cuban patriotism is very pretty reading. It seems to be turn ing out, however, that William, as well as a lot of other poets and liter-

ary llorists, has been throwing bnu'quets at a gaog of dangerous dead beats and bloody bushwhackers.

So.mi: one writes from Hawaii that the openings for Americans there will be few. It is too early to make predictions on this point. Hawaii under United States authority will be something very different from a little republic without the means of self-prc-tection. 1.he American works wonders with his own Hag overhead.

So battle in the Mexican war cost the American army as long a casualty list as that of July at Santiago. But Gen. Worth at Molico del Rey lost a fourth of his 3,500 men, including fiftyeight oilicers. The percentage of casualties was double that at Santiago At Monterey and Cerro Gordo the American loss was 500 each, and at ISuena Vista lees that SQ0.

In Kin: is no fear of Hawaii becoming a state any way soon. It will probably have a longer probationary period than New Mexico which has been a territory for over fifty years Bud wnich still is very far from statehood. There is oue glory of th« moon and another glory of the stars and there will be one government for the states

another government for the

distant territories.

An effort will be made to adp.pt the Springfield rills to smokeless powder. The experience with black powder at the battle of Santiago was unsatisfactory. Twice the second '.Massachusetts regiment was ordered out of the first line, because the smoke of their SpriugfieJds drew the enemy's fire. One prominent guntnaking company has offered to provide the government with 250,000 cartridges of smokeless powder a day and guarantee their safety in the Springfield rilla.

ISL'KAL FREE DELIVEHY. The last congress authorized the extension of the rural free delivery mail service and made an appropriation for this purpose. The United States is far behind the European nations in the matter of free rural mail delivery. Reports obtained from foreign countries disclose that in every leading country forming part of the Universal Postal Union, except the United States, the mails are delivered at the residence of every addres-ce, either with some slight charge for additional postage, or at the ordinary postal rates. The postoflice department is now experimenting with a view to bettering the facilities for obtaining mail in the country. Montgomery couuty is favored by being chosen as a place for such test. There is not to be found a county in the Ohio valley where the farmers take higher rank in educational and industrial progress than in Montgomery county. The establishment of a free rural delivery mail route in this county iB a worthy recognition of the progressive spirit of our farmers. A special agent of the postollice department has inspected and established a route fast from Crawfordsville on the line of the Overcoat road and the J. A. Mount gravel road to Shannondale, thence west over the Lebanon and Crawfordsville gravel road to Hannibal Trout's, thence south to the Finch gravel road and on this road to Crawfordsville. The future of rural free delivery of mail will be largely determined by these tests now being made. It is therefore of the greatest importance that these experiments prove successful. The farmers who are fortunate enough to live anywhere in the neighborhood of this line can, by putting up recepticles for their mail and notifying Postmaster Bonnell of their desires, have their mail put in such boxes opposite their homes. It is to be hoped the people along this route will put up boxes immediately. As a matter of local pride the boxes should be neat in appearance. affording a complete protection from exposure to storms. A neat'tin box painted and lettered U. S. mail would display good taste.

The advantages of free delivery of mail are too numerous to mention here at length. The:daily market quotations are indispensible to the highest suceess on the farm. The isolation of the country home augments the need of daily contact with the business, intellectual and social world. In these war timeo with our boys at the front we all want the latest war news. The mail is the pulse by which you can measure the general intelligence of the home.

Ol'Ii DUTY AS A NATION.

Many of us deplored the Spaifish war many of us now look forward with anxious solicitude concerning the effect of victory on the victor, says Benjamin Ide Wheeler iu the August Atlantic, but still as we survey the movements of human history in the large, we cannot fail to see in all that is occurring the inevitable grist of the mills of the gods and the irrefragable judgments of the Weltgericht Spain and the middle ages could not tarry in thew est. We,' on the other hand, could not shut ourselves within the walled gardens of our pleasant domes* ticit.y, and shun responsibilities that the commerce and intercourse of the larger world exact of those who stand for order Mid equal justice in the affairs of meii,

While tiien wo may well b(? called upon now to readjust out' coiideption Of natKJd&l purpose and duty to the new order and our new position, we dare not bo false to ourselves or our past. Our charter and creed we must interpret, if no longer in the letter, then all the njore scrupulously in the spirit. However the letter and the form may fade and vanish away, there are some things that must nerds abide. A nation proclaiming government of the people and for the people cannot impose on conquered peoples a foreign sway or one that finds its supreme motive in the benefits accruing to others than the governed. 11 is character that counts iu nations as in individuals. Only a loyalty to the old can serve the new: only in understanding of the past can we interpret and use the present for history is not made, but unfolded, and the Old Worid eDtire is ever present in the. New.

A iih.c.i i.auv army ofileer who was wounded at Caney denounces the further use of Springfield rillas agai&Et Spanish troops armed with the Mauser. "Every time a Springfield wa& fired," he'says, "it wfis like starting a .signal fire, and it was followed uihtantly by & hail of bullets from Spsniatds we didn't see, and who didii know where wo were until they saw the smoke from the Springfields going up from the bushi t.." The testimony in favor of smokeless powder is unanimous.

A cour.T maktiai. & waits Uen. Toral's arrival in Spain, and if he is wise be will take to the woods instead of the water. Why, with the Santiago garrison of 7,000 or 10,000 he surrendered 17,000 or 14,000 troops at other and distant points—Soldiers who had not I been under the fire, of the Americans I and many pf whom can even now!

march away with their arms to the support of Blanco—will be a hard matter for Toral or anybody else to satisfactorily explain to the dazed and enraged Dons, especially in the face of the fact that both Madrid and Havana repudiate all responsibility for action by the ofliiier temporarily in command of the Santiago district.

The Jouknal in its account of the Frankfort convention stated that when the announcement of Chesdle's nomination was mada the Tiptoa county delegation left the hall. The local paper which is the champion of Cheadle declares thatfueh nu assertion is absolutely false. The reports being in conflict on this poiut it is only fair to call in a third witness. Perhaps the Indianapolis Sentinel, the state organ of the Democratic party, would be a fair witness, certainly one to which its local .supplement can take no exception. The Sentinel in its report of the convention says: "Ou a motion to make the nomination unanimous Tipton county refused to concur and left the convention in a body as the delegation had previously threatened to do in case of Cheadle's nomination."

The

OutUx.il (New \'orli) thus sum

marizes the new bankrupt law: "Iso man can be adjudged a bankrupt so long as his property at a fair valuation is sufiicient to pay his debts. Proceedings in involuntary bankruptcy can be instituted only where a debtor has disposed of his property with intent to defraud or give preferences, or where ho has giver a preference through legal proceedings, or where he admits in writing that he is a bankrupt. No one of these cases seems harsh, for while some debtors without property enough at a fair valuation to pay their debts might borrow more money if allowed to give preference, the occasional gains which come from such borrowings are less than the resulting losses, and as nothing compared with the frauds which the giving of preference sfacilitates."

A STRAIGHT TIP.

The Old Time, True I»lue Democratic Or*

Some Timely Com

ment On "Comrade Joe.*'

Crawfordsville Review: At Frankfort this week the Democratic convention committed the same piece of insane foolishness that it did two years ago— nominated a man not a Democrat, but a soreheaded Republican, for Congress. It was Cheadle then and it is Cheadle again, and requires no great prophetic vision to see that the same results will follow as were announced immediately after the November election of lsOG. Quite a Dumber of delegates to the convention tried to stem this tide of nonsense but their efforts were in vain. The damphools were in control and they won. We CBnnot possibly discern where any man could possibly figure out the probability of the election of Cheadle. We cannot see where any true, thorough going Democrat, who is 6uch from principle and tradition could possibly support him or desire his election any more than that of Landis. Those that can support such a creature as this man with his record, beforo him, can do so, but many cannot and will not. They will not be cajoled nor whipped into supporting any Republican regardless of what banner he may sail under. Because a lot of ninnies runniDg for county ofUces in Boone and Fountain counties want to run this man in to helD, as they say, to strengthen their county ticket, is no argument nor reason at all that Democrats through the 0t,h district should support him and if they cannot win without such an aid they better suffer defeat. The innovation of going over into the Republican party to select a Democratic candidate is one that caunot but be distasteful to those who from year to year have steadily maintained and favored Democrats for oilijial hoco-s With Allen, McCardle or anp man known to be a Democrat the results next fall would have been entirely different. We are Bourbon Democrats and never under any consideration could support only those known to be such. Policy and time-servers with those desiring the fulure welfare of the party should have do consideration. Cheadle failed in shooting down enough Democrats to make his calling and election sure. May wo trust that the physic administered to the party by this work this year will result in making it more healthful, i,troLiger and seif-roliant for tuQ campaign of 1900.

LISTEN TO NATURE.

Backaches, Headaches and Nervous' ncss Are Messages For You.

They Tell You That Your Kidneys Oeuituid Attention—John Morrow'* (irent Discovery.

To most people a backache seems a simple thing, to be. got rid of by "working itout Sometimes the pain does "work off''—sometimes it does not. Whether it does or not, thoughtful people have come to uuderstat 1 that a backache is a warning that not to be neglected without danger of contracting a disease that will liu: life to a few months, or maybe years of suffering.

Kidney troubles have been batter understood of lata years, and kidney troubles ia relation to rheumatism and neuralgia is only beginning to be fully comprehended. The kidneys are the filters throv.gh which the blood passes, and if they get out of order the blood remains impure and every part of the body suffers. First the nerves tell the tale. A backache gives warning. Headache cries out that something is wrong. The temper becomes irritable, the nervous system is shattered and insanity is the next step.

When John Morrow,the great American chemist, discovered and gave to the world the remedy known aa Morrow's Ividneoids—a little yellow tablet —ho could not then fully understand what a benefit ha was bestowing ou humanitv. Time has fully proven that thousands who otherwise would surely have died have been restored to health by these tablets. The manner in which this medicine acts is illustrated by the case of Mr6. Margaret Fitzgerald, a respected lady of Springfield, 0 who says: "I have been a constant sufferer from lame back and diseased didneys for many years. The pain in my back would often compell me to give up my work. 1 tried different physicians and remedies without permanent benefit. I at last became discouraged and decided to do nothing more for it, when I heard of the great success of Morrow's Ividneoids. I was reluctantly induced to try a box. After a few days' use I began to experience a change. The pain became less severe and before I knew it the pain in my back had entirely disappeared. I used the remainder of the one box and to-day I feel perfectly well. Morrow's Ividneoids will do just what the manufacturers claim for them

Morrow's Ividneoids are for sale in all stores. If you cannot find them they will be sent postpaid by the John Morrow Co., Chemists Springfield, O., upon receipt of price—50 cents per box or six boxes for 82 50.

AUGUST FORECAST.

What Hicks Predicts We Will Kxpericnce Next Month.

The month of August is but a few days away, and from what Hicks, the weather prognosticator, says, it will be a good time for trips to the mountains, the north and to the summer resorts in general. Here is his forecast for the eomicg month: "Moon will be full and in perigee on the 1st, and at tho same time we pass the crisis of a regular storm period. Look for the extremely warm weather at the opening'of August. The barometer will fall to low readings and many active summer storms will transpire from the 1st to 3d. Change to cooler will be natural about 3rd to 5th. On and near the 0th and 7th, there will be a reaction to storm conditions," What "storm conditious" are, all who nave followed Rev. Hicks' fuller predictions now understand. ''From the 11th to 15th is a regular storm period, during which thftny blustering summer storms will be natural. We do not feel that heavy and general rains are to be expr.cted in August. We believe that northwestern sections will begin to feel the severe drouth this summer. Look for reactionary storms about 18th and 10th. Another regular storm period runs from 22d to 25th. Look at that time for extreme warmth, ending in storms with thunder and wind. Much cooler nights will follow. The 29th and 30th are reactionary storm centers, warm with thuDder and rain

In Sunt ia go's Fight.

George Lynch of Darlington, writes his sister that as a member of Company A, 2d U. S. Infantry, he was in the thick of the light at Santiago. His regiment stormed El Caney on the first of July and was in the thick of the action on the 2d and 3d. He writes that he was lucky enough to conic out without a scratch although tnoa w?r§ killed and wounded on all sides of him- He saw manj slain &r,d says that he never before realised the hor rors of war. On cno occasion a shell struck a is*eo just iti front of him and tore it to small bits and ho was not even touched by a splinter. After the battle he.looked up Osc&r Blue aud Ike Kelsey, two other Darlington boys, and found that they had been equally fortunate with himself. Lynch's regiment suffered greater loss than any other regiment in the action and had a number of fine and brilliant officers killed.

1 I Cat at. New lioss.

There is considerable excitement in the vicinity of New Rosa, resultant on the presence of a wild cat in tho neighborhood. The animal is reported as being both large and vicious and its blood curdling yells can bo nightly heard. It is said to have pursued a small child to its father's house last week and several eheep and shoats hBve been sacrificed to appease its appetite. Where the beast came from is a mystery^ and the residents of the neighborhood are very anxious that it be killed as quickly as possible.
