mayor
OUK beloved and venerated has all the ear marks of an'"imperialist" and his yearning'desire to annex all territory contiguous to Orawfordsville and Montgomery county makes him a dangerous man.
IT IS said that Mr. Dick Cording, of Coal Creek township, is to be prosecuted for working up A boycott on the Crawfordsvilie Review. There is a clear case against him and 6ome rare fun may be expected if the case is really pushed.
ST. LOUIS Globe Democrat: No explanation has yet been given of the absence of the good ship Indiana from the Cervera engagement, but it is rumored that the vessel had scented a pawpaw grove that morning and was too busy to hear any other call to action.
ONE candidate for county office is on record as saying that he intended to cry his way into office a la Goben. The dodge may have worked once but the people of Montgomery county have had reason to be convinced that the crocodile tear is not the best evidence of a contrite heart or ability.
GEN. MERRITT has cabled that it will take 50,000 men to capture Manila and establish the authority of the United States in the Philippines. This should not create unnecessary alarm. Gen Shatter cabled on the 3d of July that he could not take Santiago without re-enforcement, though the city was ready to fall into his hands like an over-ripo apple. Gen. Merritt has 20,000 men, or will have in a few days, and his next cablegram is more likely than not to announce the capitulation of the capital of the Philippines.
THE organ of the Tipton county Democracy, the Tipton Times, indulges in the following lively comment on Mr. Cheadle: "He is certain to be defeated by a crushing majority in November, and will be the means of demoralizing the Democracy of this district, as there are hundreds of Democrats throughout the district who do not intend to vote for him. The plain truth is that Joe Cheadle is despised by the decent members of all political parties, and none tie to him except those who are willing to prostitute the principles and sacrifice the Democratic party for a few Democratic cilices."
SECRETARY" of the cavy Long announces that in awarding the contracts for the three new battleships, preference will be given to bid6 offering to guarantee the greatest speed and coal endurance, and that each vessel must be able to steam 5432 knots at a moderate pace. That would carry a ship to Europe and back again, or from Honolulu to the coa6t of China. Events of the war with Spain have induced all navy departments to provide a higher speed for battleships about to be constructed. The new battleship Missouri will be at least two knots faster than any vessel of her class in commission in our navy.
ItOUGn OX THE PIIILII'PIXES. Joseph Earle Stevens has just
pub
lished a book giving his experiences and observations in the
Philippines
while engaged in .business in Manila from 1394 to 1896, and in conclusion he thus discusses a question now uppermost in the Americammind:
Do we want them? Do we want a group of 1,400' islands, nearly 3,000 miles from our western shores, sweltering in the tropics, swept with typhoons and shaken with earth quakes? Do we want to undertake the responsibility of protectingsthose islands from the powers of Europe or the east, and of standing sponsor for the nearly 8,000,000 native inhabitants that speak a score of different -tongues, and live on anything'from rice to etewed grasshoppers? Do we want the task of ci
1Phi:ij..nnes
are hard material with which to iaake our first colonial.« experiment and seem to demand* a different sort of treatment from that|which our national policy favors or has had experience in giving. Besides jthe peaceable natives occupying thei'aecesBlble towns, the interiors qt many of the islands are filled with aboriginal savages, who have never even recognized the rule
of Spain—who have never even heard of Spain, and who still think that they [are possessors of the soil. Even on the coast itself are tribes of savages who are almost as ignorant as their brethern in the interior, and only thirty miles from Manila are races of dwarfs that go without clothes, wear knee-bracelets of horsehair, and respect nothing save the jangles in which they live. To the north are the Igorrotes, to the south the Moros, and in between scores of wild tribes that are ready to dispute possession. And is the United States preoared'to maintain the forces and carry on the military operations in the fever-stricken jungles necesuary in the march of progress to externa nate or civilize such rnces? Have we, like England, for instance, the class of troops who could undertake that sort of work, and do we feel called upon to do it, when the same expenditure at home would go much further? The Philippines muBt be run under a des potic though kindly form of government, supported by arms and armor clade, and to deal with the perplexing questions and perplexing difficulties that arise needs knowledge gained by experiences, by having dealt with other such problems before."
IS TKICK-
SPANISH DIPLOMACY EHY. It is by no means inconceivable of Spanish statesmen that they should think it a good stroke of home policy to conciliate the party of peace by proposing a settlement at the present stage. Much of our military plans is as yet unaccomplished, and nearly all wo shall claim has yet to bo actually won—a fact which, in negotiating, would certainly be no help to our case. If the United States government should accept an armistice, our troops at Porto Rico and in the Antilles would lose their enthusiasm, our fighting progress would be arrested, and Spain would gain time and an opportunity for recuperating her fighting strength. Should Sagasta discover that our terms are unacceptable and that he dare not take the risk of provoking serious disturbance by adopting them, then, having done what he could to satisfy the peace faction, he would be free to play to the war party by declaring that a peace with honor to Spain is at present impossible and appealing to the country to 6tand by the army to the last extremity of endurance. It is certainly not beneath what may be fairly expected of Spanish statesmanship that Spain should resort to dilatory tricks of this character on the contrary, it is the kind of action we might reasonably look for and the fact that the present incipient stage of our operations has been chosen for making peace offers is suspiciously suggestive that this may prove to be her game. It smacks Btrongly of Castilian trick that we should be asked for an armistice and a possibly .long suspension of hostilities within a few days of our certain capture of Porto Rico and when the completion of our capture of Spain's army in the Philippines may be any day expected and for this reason our government's re sponse to M. Cambon's overtures needs to be most carefully guarded by precautions.
Ireua AT. Kdwards.
Irena M. Edwards, daughter of Curtis and Carrie Edwards, was born June 15, 1S73, and departed this life July 29, IS'JS, aged 20 years, one month and 14 days. She leaves a mother, brother, a sister, two half brothers and two half sisters, and a host of friends to mourn her IOBS. To know her was to love and respect her. She was an obedient daughter, an affectionate friend, loved and respected by all. She united with the Christian church at Walnut Chapel, Feb. 3, 1898. She was an active worker in the Christian Endeavor society before becoming a member of the church, and was a lover of the truth and Christianity and was always present at all of the church services. She bore her illness of six months of thatdreaded diseaseconsumption, with patience and Christian fortitude and was often found reading her Bible and singing the songs of Zion, "The Sweet Bye ana Bye" being one of her favorite songs.
Her sufferings ended with the day, et lived she at the close. She breathed the long, long uigtit away
In statue like repose. But when the sun in all his state, Illumined the eastern sides, She passed through glory's morning fate,
And walk in paradise.
