OUR tropical islands are destined to keep at home an immense amount of money which now goes to foreign countries not disposed to give us much trade in return.
THE Democrats of the county are indulging in a still hunt, the only noise they give out being directed to an endeavor to create dissension in Republican ranks.
THE President should appoint one more commission—one composed of our best war ships, and send them cruising along the Spanish coast. It would facilitate the work of our peace commission.
POSTMASTER GENERAL S.MITII, who speaks at Music Hall next Monday evening, is one of the most accomplished and eloquent orators in the country. That he speaks in Crawfordsville is a compliment to the place and as a return Mr. Smith should be accorded a right royal welcome.
NEARLY every Democrat of prominence in the United States has made himself more prominent by approving the administration of President McKinley. The latest addition to the list is ex-secretary of the navy Herbert, who declares that the President has made no mistakes, either in the military or naval branch of the service.
STILT, they come. Jewett, Thompson, Bynum and hundreds of others less prominent in public life are forsaking the Popocratic party and the rooster and are arraying themselves under the eagle ami the Republican flag. Hardly an issue of the Indianapolis Sentinel that does not read some prominent Democrat out of their ranks.
LIEUT. BRADLEY A. FISKE, U. S. N., has written an article for the November Century entitled "Why We Won at Manila." Lieutenant FiBke contrasts the discipline, marksmanship, and training of the American and Spanish sailors, and gives an impression of the engagement from the view point of "the man behind the guns." The
writer, who is an officer of the Petrel, was stationed aloft, where he could see above the smoke and have an unobstructed view. His duties were to measure the enemy's distance, to he bad the means and the leisure for observing everything connected with the action.
ON the occasion of a speech at Waynetown some weeks since Mr. Cheadle listened to some lively experiences and not to be outdone told of a charge in which he participated. He calmly said that the man on his right was shot dead and the man on his left fared likewise. He himself was unhurt but found that just twenty-seven bullets bad passed through his clothes. This is a remarkable and rather fishy story but it will have a parallel this fall. Joseph will find that the ballotB miss him just as the bullets did. Four years ago Joseph would have savagely said that those twenty-seven bullets that didn't hit him were fired by Democrats and it can be put down as a dead sure thing that a good many ballots that miss will be fired by gentlemen of the same political complexion.
WHAT haB become of all the curbstone advocates of free and unlimited coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1 without the aid or consent of any nation? It may have been a dream or a horrid nightmare but we think we remember days not far in the past when Clodfelter, Lookabill, Lewellyn, Ballard, Patton, Jones, et al. et cetera, ad libitum, addendum, wild-eyed and unkempt, held forth loud and long in language forcible upon the beauties of the Bryan doctrine until they drove many of their party in Belf defense to vote for sound money. The police were kept busy clearing a passage on our sidewalku and the noise was dea'ening, but where are these apostles of the new heresy now?
IT is now reported that Blanco is receiving large commissary supplies and munitions of war. If this is true it throws some light on similar shipments to the Philippine Islands. Should Spain be up to one of her old tricks it would be better if a stone were tied about her neck and she cast into the sea. This country has not yet gotten its fighting blood aroused.
"IN this age of frequent interchange and mutual dependency," said President McKinley at Omaha, "we can not shirk our international responsibilities if we would. They must be met with courage and wisdom, and we must follow duty even if desire opposes." The people approve the sentiment. They believe in honorable expansion when duty backs it up.
