AGCIHALDO still considers the Democratic party aa his moat faithful ally.

THBRE seems to be a wholesale deaire to read the aecret douier in the new Groker-Bryan pronouncement.

THE Cubans have proved their right to become American citizens by their lusty kicks and growls at everything which haa been done for them.

THE Gobble, Gobble in Kentucky and the Oroke(r), Groke(r) in New York, ^ive the impression that the three ring

Democratic aggregation has a men' agerie on its handa.

Now that Dr. Parkhurst and Mr. Oroker are agreed, the spirit* of the true believers have been revived for has not the prophecy of the lion and the lamb been realized?

A GIFTED Popocratic editor speaks of the cobra-like folds of the trusts which are enclosing the people and squeezing their substance from them. This vfould be very pretty if the cobra were a black snake or a boa constrictor, but unfortunately for the Popocratic smile, he never does anything in the squeezing or enfolding' line.

WASHINGTON

is perfecting

a gala

ception to Admiral Dewey which will be worthy of the hero of Manila and themselves. Hero worship is good for a nation. It arouses in the breast of all, in whom the blood flows with unsluggish action, a desire of emulation, inspires to brave and noble deeds and arouses a national spirit without which we would be Ohinaized.

the strained rela

tions between the United States and Germany, the exports from the United States to Germany in 1899 were the largest in the history of the trade between the two coutries. The balance Of trade is largely in our favor. It iB no wonder that the Germans are seriously considering a plan to make trade conditions more equal between the countries.

He has a new tune, however, that unless we stop butchering innocent brigands, killing helpless women and snatching away liberty from innocent people who never harmed us, the United StateB will shortly be the worst spot in the world to live in

MERE oratorical blare and thunder against aggregations of capital, such a« the Democrats are brewing in their "trust" propaganda, will come to nothing, nor will it greatly influence the people. The record of the Democratic party on the trust question and its atter failure to act when the opportunity has offered, nay, even its opposition to anti-trust measures, will ba carefully weighed against its present loud denunciations and promises •a this subject.

MB. BB#D has at last sent in his resignation and relieved the minds of the congressional committee slate makers. His retirement removes from the stage of American politics a striking and commanding personality. Though many differ with him on questions of national impprt all agree in recognizing his great ability and integrity. Speaking of Reed recalls the oft repeated story of the representative whose constituents bad been threatening him if he did not secure aome action on a certain appropriation bill, during the special session, and which Reed would not allow him to bring before the house, not deeming it proper legislation in the face of the important and serious work before them. After repeated importunities

always addressed to deaf ears the much body of Glenn Ralston failed to locate worried member exclaimed, "For God's I the ball that caused h* death. The Jiake what am I to tell them?" Reed ball passed through the liver and large with his inimitable drawl said, "Just intestine, however, and presumably tell them that oulsawgme," lodged in the vertebrae.

IT is certainly true that "you can fool some of the people all the time." Take the Democratic party for instance. With a record of financial wreck and ruin hanging like a pall over the entire country superinduced by Democratic policy during the last administration, and still there are men who believe the party is right and contin lie to take their patent remedies. 8uch naive innocence, snch blinding infatuation is refreshing. The heartless iiedouin of the desert apare the mad in their [cruel murders aa they think madness is the curse sent by God. Democrats would be safe in traveling Arabia's aandy deserts.

THAT poor overworked word—anti should go on a strike and execute a boycott against the d?mocratic party, Their leaders seem unable to originate any policy of their own and so seek to tear down and destroy what their opponents have accomplished. Antiprosperlty is the sum and substance of all their battle cries.

FROM ILOILO.

Everett Cole Writes of Some Features of Soldier Life On the Island of Panay.

Henry Coolman has received the following letter from Everett B. Coie:

ILOILO,

I.,

July 28,

'99—Henry

Coolman, Orawfordsville, Ind.—Dear Brother Received your letter on the 26th of July, and'must say that I was glad to hear from you, for we are glad to get newB from tbe states. I am glad you think of us and that we have not faded out of the minds of the Orawfordsville people. Four of us left Orawfordsville the same night, Robert Hartman, Roy Dorsey, Barley Pattison and myself, but we got separated, I am in the 18th and they are in the 14th U. S. infantry. They are stationed at Manila and I am at Iloilo, 368 miles south of them. The islands are very beautiful and will make a nice prize for the United States government after we get them captured, but that will be some time yet. We are not doing anything at present, but will start after them about Sept. 15. It is the rainy season now and I tell you that the people in old Indiana never saw it rain compared with it here. I tell you, Henry, these natives haven't fcotjjs much get-up about them aB the

Hoosier boys in the 18th and all the regiments. I just heard that Fitzeimmons lost the fight. I am glad of it. The native sports here are bull fights and cock fights, but we have put a stop to their bull fights, for they were something awful. They

Btill

have

their cock fights and" ithey? haVe-Gome These natives have no feeling whatever. The people in the states think that the Spaniards treated these natives badly, but if they were over here awhile they would certainly change their minds. You can't treat them mean enough, for if you treat them good they watch their chance and cut your head off. But just-keep them under your rifle and you have got them, for they are afraid of the Mericano soldiers. And another thing, if a few of the free silver men were over here and had to carry around some free silver they would go back to the gold standard. Free silver is not what it is cracked up to be'and I have seen enough of it already. Well, Henry, as there is no newB to tell you, for we are not doing anything, li will close for this time. Give the boys of the lodge my best and tell them that I think of them quite often, and give my beat to all my friends.

C. Abbott Married.

Wilber C. Abbott, a well known alumnus of Wabash college, was married on Wednesday to Miss Margaret Smith, =of Indianapolis,- The Indian*polis Journal says:

Wallace Boys LaPearl's Cireu*.

A special from Peru says: Benjamin E. Wallace, proprietor of the Wallace shows, has purchased the LaPearl circus, and the outfit is being brought to the winter quarters here. The property will be added to the Wallace circus. The LaPearl show was taken on a mortgage by the Donaldson lithograph company, and represented a value of $31,000 to them, but Wallace got the entire property for 824,000. His aim was to get-the monster hippopotamus and some other animals, but as th«y were not to be sold separately, he had to buy the entire outfit. Several showmen and park managers offered 85,000 each for the hippopotamus. The animal haB been sent to the Wallace circus, which is now in the east." jt~

Mrs. Marshall MoCalllster.

On the morningiof the 4th day of September, 1899, occurred the death of Lida A. McCallister, wife of Marshall S. McCallister, resident of Shannondale. Death resulted from cancer of the Btomach and bowels. Interment was at the Shannondale oeaiatery on the evening of the 5tb. The funeral waa directed by James H. Bobbins, of Orawfordsville, a playmate of the deceased during childhood days and a life-long friend.

The deceaaed had been a long and patient sufferer, had battled bravely for life, but the enemy was one no earthly power can conquor, and death with a merciless hand cut her down, thereby robbing errth of one of ita kindest, truest, pnrest and most noble women. She waa a brave defender of All that ia just, an unconquerable enemy to evil, a true emblem of purity and kindneaa, and faithful practicer of charity. Her life haa with good deeds been filled to overflowing andsh^is worthy of and we fondly hope ia now enjoying the greatest reward, the moat perfect happineaa that is to be found beyond the grave. Lett to mourn are a husband, a son, Orion W. McCallister two brothers, George and Elbert McOafferty one sister, Lucy Rutledge, and a hoet of kind, true, loving friends.

At 2:30 o*clock Tuesday,,eveningt Sept. 5, heartbroken relatives andBprrowing friends gathered around her bier to perform the last sad duties due the dead. The floral offerings Were profuse and beautiful. The casket was of solid oak, nicely finished and beautifully trimmed. In accordance with the request of the deceased ehe was clothed with a light cream colored robe. On her face was no trace of her awful suffering, but instead was an expression of peace and content, a pleasant look which seemed to betoken pleasant dreams. After singing, a brief obituary, and' prayer at the house, the procession moved slowly and silently to the cemetery where, by loving hands, she was tenderly placed in the vault. She was borne to her final resting place by six lady relatives, three of whom were cousins and three sisters-in-law.

The deceased waa the daughter of Elbert and Eebecca McCafferty and was born two miles east of Crawfcrdsville, on the 19th of September, 1850. Later the family moved near Shannondale and, in that village and vicinity she spent the days of her youth. On the

The operation was successfully performed and extended her life Beveral days, but it was not possible for either medicine or surgery to cure her.

Good Word» for Tuti UiMp.

The American Sheep Breeder contains aa extensive article'on Chas. S. Boontree's famous Tunis sheep which is interesting reading. Among other things the writer' says: "The Tunis sheep and lambs will yield a greater per cent of dressed meat to the gross weight than any other known breed, and they are yimmune to lung, liver, throat and intestinal worma that afflict the other mutton breeds. The flock showed not a sign of the prevailing stomach worms in old or young, and there was not a dirty nose or run down sheep in the flock, but they were all clean, well-fashioned, well-rounded sheep. The small boneB, compact build and easy, quick feeding tendencies were apparent through all the flock.'V

Tampa (Fla.) Times: Hendry & Knight to-day sold the DeSoto hotel property, which Was owned by Mrs. H. B. Rogers, to W. N. Ireland, the well known ship broker, for 16,000. The negotiations have been in progress for some time, several different parties attempting to secure the property, which is considered a big bargain at the price at which it has been sold. In fact, a well posted real estate man waa heard to remark this morning, that he coiialdered the property well worth 936,000, the selection of the site for the public building diagonally opposite making it much more valuable. Mr. Ireland and those interested with hint 'are cont^quently to be congratulated on their fortunate investment. The hotel will continue under the present management, and will at once be thoroughly renovated and put in first elaaa eondition for winter business. There is no batter known or more popular hotel man in the .atate than Col. A. B. Wheelock, and he has probably been engaged in the hotel business in this atatft longer than any other man.

Statistics or&ltarce.

The state statistician has been gathering information from the counties of Indiana relative to the number of divorces granted between* the last day of July, 1898 and the first of June, this year. The reports from Marion county

that a total of 575 were grant

ed, 497 of them by the superior courts and 78 by the circuit court. Of these 410 were granted to wives and 165 to husbands. There were 116 divorces granted in Allen county, 142 in Madieon, 122 in Vanderburg, and 134 in Vigo. In Fayette county huBbands and wives seem to live more congenially than in any other in the state, and they are getting along better than they did the year beforet according to the statistics. During the last year only one couple was legally separated in that county, the divorce beihg granted the wife, while thirteen were divorced during the preceding year. In Ohio county, the smallest in the state, the married people have not sought numerous divorces, the number being three, two

oft

which were given

to husbands. Only four divorces were granted in Orange county, three of them going to husbands. Four were granted in Union county, two to wives and as many to husbands.

Montgomery county shows up with her usual number of divorces, about seventy-fivo. Next year will doubtless be all right, too, as the latit four suits filed in the circuit court have been divorce suits.
