"SOMEONE has blundered!" brayed rof. Laughlin, at Chicago. That someone was Prof. Laughlin and he blundered like a blind, lame a6R.

CRAWFOKDSVILLK continues the banIner wool market of the state. )"What's the price at GrawfordsvilleV" is the query of every dealer in west-

ern Indiana.

I PEACE will soon reign in Luzon and it 1b due to the splendid bravery and fortitude of the American soldiers, backed by an administration possessing the American spirit.

THE announcement that American trade is to'^oe unrestricted in China under the new control comes as welcome news and reflects great credit on our able administration at Washington,

THE American policy in the Philip pines has been the only consistent policy, and the only possible policy short of retreat. Perseverance in a definite course has been justified again by its fruits.

THE fact that young Carter Harrison has begun publicly expressing himself about home rule for Ireland lends color to the rumor that his vaulting ambition aims as high as the presidency.

IT AFPEARS that the Filipinos have a novelist named Jose Rizal, and if he has been in the "patriot" army lately he should be able to write an interesting volume entitled "LookiDg Hackward—over the shoulder."

HATS off to the court house administration that wipes out our debt, reduces our tax levy and gives us needed public improvements all at once! Were all administrations similar talk of county reform would be heeded only to bo laughed at.

CHATTANOOGA Times (Dem.): The farmers of Nebraska filed mortgages for record in 1808 amounting to $1G,000,OuO, and farm mortgages to the amount of $23,000,000 were paid and cancelled. Old General Prosperity seems to have arrived in Mr. Bryan's state and he appears to be doing a good business.

PBOF. LAUGHLIN, of Chicago university, does not approve of President McKinley's Philippine policy. Prof. Laughlin is the gentleman who was so mortally offended when President McKinley failed to recognize his alleged service by official preferment. Can it be that resentment causeB the professor to see things the way he does?

THE inhabitants of the Filipino village, Macabebe, who rang bells and shouted "Vivas" in honor of their capture by the scouting squad under Maj. Bell, have evidently not heard from our own aunties that they are patriots full of the spirit of '76 and fighting for home and native land. The aunties are working hard, but it 6eems impossible to make heroes out of people who celebrate defeat by a public holiday.

DIPLOMATIC relations between the United States and Spain will be resumed within a few days. A Spanieh minister will be in Washington and an American representative will be in Madrid by the latter part of this week or early in the week following. This will be a pleasant occasion for the two countries. War is exceedingly disagreeable to the iUnited States, as it iB to all other civilized nations. The conditions in this country will undoubtedly be made particularly agreeable for the new Spanish diplomat.

SECRETARY GAGE has been offered a salary in the neighborhood of the one that templed Speaker Reed out of public life, to become president of one of New York's big banks, but it is not likely that he will accept He made a heavy financial sacrifice when he became secretary of the treasury, and will probably continue in that office until March 4, 1001, if no longer There is little doubt that if he desires to remain in that position during President McKinley's second term that the President will be pleased to have him do so. There is no man in the country better fitted by knowledge and experience to fill the arduouB duties of secretary of the treasury than Mr. Gage. Never have the affairs of that great department of the government moved smoother than since he has been at its head, and never has the credit of the nation been higher. This is high is deserved.

AGUINALDO'S supplication for peace came so close upon the declaration of President McKinley that the revolt Bhould be put down no matter how much money it cost nor how many men it might require, to convince even the most doubting that the Filipinos had been kept informed of everything done in this country, and have acted upon the information. Had they not received encouragement from this country, which caused them to believe that there was a possibility of our withdrawing from the islands, if they fought stubbornly enough, there would never have been any revolt. Tire action of General Otis in telling the representatives of Aguinaldo that the only conditions under which he would stop fighting were to grant a general amnesty for.an unconditional surrender, is so fully indorsed by the administration that no orders have been sent to him. It is felt that he has correctly sized up the situation and can be left to deal with the Filipinos without further instructions. Besides, the other American commissioners, who are fully acquainted with President McKinley's wishes are with him to aid in settling any questions that may arise. It iB confidently expected that the Filipinos will, as soon as they understand that no better terms can be obtained, accept those offered by General Otis they are already fully convinced that nothing but defeat for them lies in fighting our soldiers. And notwithstanding their outside assistance, they are short of nearly all kinds of supplies.

PROF. LAUGHLIN, of Chicago university, is a great liar. At the anti expansion meeting Saturday night he road a letter purporting to be from a private in the Kansas regiment, telling how they were required to shoot prisoners because they could not spare force to guard them. The writer said he had just seen four shot in this way. The Chicago Inter-Oocun, commenting on this, says: "If Professor Laughlin read such a statement as the one above described he was the willing and witting purveyor of an atrocious and palpable lie was a disgrace to his title and his profession and should be repudiated by every reputable citizen in the faculty of Chicago university. It is difficult to imagine how slander, falsehood and malice could be carried to further excesses, or how shamelessness in uttering them could be more brazen and evident. In the name of common honor and truthfulness this newspaper calls upon ProfeEsor Laughlin to produce even a scintilla of proof in support of his outrageous statement."

COL. FUNSTON, of the fighting Kansas regiment in the Philippines, has been made a brigadier-general and the honor is most worthily bestowed. Funston is a natural soldier and a lover of liberty as well. Long before the cause of Cuba was espoused by the United States, Funston was in the island fighting with Gomez and Garcia in the cause of Cuba Libre. He is now in the Philippines fighting in the same good cauBe and he gives American copperheads a mighty dig in the following extract from one of his letters written to a friend at home: "I am afraid that some people at home will awake nights worrying about the ethics of war, thinking that our enemy is fighting for the right of self government, etc. The word 'independence' means simply to these people a license to raise hell, and if they got control they would raise a fine crop of it. They are waging war not against tyranny, but against AngloSaxon order and decency."

PROF. STARR is at the head of anthropology in Rockefeller's ten million dollar school in Chicago. He was called to GaleBburg the other day to lecture on Mexico and astonished everyone by devoting his time to attacking McKinley and Bryan. He asserted that McKinley waged the Spanish war to "make money." He traveled with Bryan in Mexico, and Baid Bryan was his own presB agent, and wrote notices of enthusiastic receptions in towns where natives had been ordered to go to the depot and meet him. Prof. Starr wound up by epitomizing his opinions thus: "McKinley is a knave and Bryan an a6s." Prof. Starr would do well to stick to the study of prehistoric skulls. AB a political speaker he pleases no one, offends all, and proves himself a fool.

A TOWNSHIP trustee of Franklin county has been fined for not publishing a statement of his indebtedness as is required by law. There iB considerable confusion as to the purport of this law and in some counties the trustees publish not only the statements of their indebtedness but full reports of their receipts and expenditures. The trustees of this county, when the law was passed, debated the matter and called in the bast legal advice obtainable. Upon this advice it was decided to publish only the statements of indebtedness. In a majority of the counties this policy is pursued.

MONTGOMERY county's affairs were never in so prosperous a condition as now in spite of the fact that the Yountsville bridge was repaired,

NEW LIFE FOR CUBA. Dr. Wood, in the North American Review, says: "The condition of the people in Ouba to-day is one of extreme poverty, and in many provinces great suffering for want of food. The people, contrary to the statements of those who are fond of charging the Cubans with being lazy and unwilling to work, are not only'willing but anxious to work. The problem has never been one of finding workers, but of giving work to those who wished it. The present condition of the country is such that there iB an enormous amount of work which it is absolutely necessary should be done in the near future, such as the reopening of roadB, building of bridges and telegraph lines, rebuilding of little towns and villages that have been destroyed in Bhort, the restoration of the country, great sections of which) have been absolutely dostro^ed by war. We have been able to open up many of the main roads, put the towns in order, and, in fact, scatter the people over the country in honest labor on public works, in return for which they have received either a daily wage of seventy-five cents or fifty cents and a ration. In some cases they have received three or four rations per day for ten hours' work, with no money, and by this method many laborers have been able to feed their familes. The result haB been that, all [through the province, the people have gradually gone to work in one way tor another. Of course, they are desperately poor, yet all my officers and couriers, both American and Cuban, report no starvation, and, generally speaking, a quiet, contented condition of the people."

UNDER the benignant rule of "the higher law," Mrs. George was justified in Ohio last week iu killing a man for deserting her after she bad deserted her husband for him. In Indiana Dr. Gray is about to be tried for killing a woman for deserting him after he had deserted his wife for her. And now let us wait and see if the higher law 6auce, pronounced in Ohio good for the goose, will be held in Indiana good for the gander. If women will insist upon and persist in lowering herself to an exact equality, under both the written and unwritten law, with man, she can not consistently kick if the same rewards and punishments are meted out to botti.

an order issued by the war department to recruiting officers, it is laid down that enlistment or re-ehlist-ment of married men for the army is to be discouraged and by way of a diagram it is stated that unmarried men make tbe best fighters. This seemingly illogical conclusion must be. arrived at by the same course of reasoning that makes the young and inexperienced recruit a better soldier than the veteran for a specially hazardous piece of fighting—that because of his inexperience in such matters he isn't so fully aware of the perils of battle nor so quick to learn that he is whipped.

THE first election held in Indiana by machinery was at Irvington on May 1. It was a complete Buccess, the result of the vote in the whole town being known within nine minutes after the polls were closed.
