Wmr the anti-expansionists began the policy of presenting difficulties as an argument for withdrawing from the Philippines, they simply broke ground for their own graves. fli eulty and danger are what Young Auierics feeds and thrives upon, and eagerly courts.

Oxxo Democrats must feel complimented at the characterization given their platform by such a paper as the London

which in speaking of

the "seeret and vicious alliance now in evidence between England and the Republican administration" clause in the Ohio platform designates it as a "puff of electioneering wind."

Ktkblino Morton bajb that combined capital has driven out the "man with the hoe." The Honorable J. ttoerling Morton, one time secretary of agriculture during the reign of Cleveland, should know that the man also who sitB on a two-horse cultivator and hoes two rows of corn at once haB had SMsething to do along this line.

T«WA Democrats still have hopes of keeping the skeleton of their party irosB falling to pieces. Their convenare getting to be, year by year, and more of a ghostly farce. In 'the ISM election they carried 38 counties, la 1IM they carried 17, and in

IMS only 10. In the meantime the atete ie one of the moBt prosperous and happy in the country, and is now aatirely out of debt.

PsnouuiT McKinlet and Secretary Boot are both pleased at the rapidity with which the recruiting of the new regiments for the Philippines is going ob. Although a number of the reerulting officers In various sections Shave just opened, reports to the war department Bhow that half of the ten regiments are already enlisted. The oBeial order for recruiting two col ored regiments, which will be the last of the volunteers, was issued Saturday afternoon.-

SAXATOB Beveridgb, who recently returned from the Philippines, where ha Made an exhaustive personal investigation of affairs, was warmly wel •omed by President McKioley, to wksi he made a very full statement, daring conferences covering a considerable portion of three eonsecntive day*. Senator Beveridge declined to a statement for publication at tlsse concerning what he told the sat, but it ie known that the VmUeit considers the information bright him to be important, and that much of it is confirmatory of what Pred. Scfcurman bad already told him.

(•UNI Fobakeb, who has become use4 to being represented by the Bemoerats aa not being in accord with the Republican party in Ohio, and merer pays any attention to such stories, thus states the situation in Ohio: "We were in good shape for the campaign. The Democrats have •ot earried the state in ten years. Beating the Democrats consecutively that Many years is a. good record for Republicans of Ohio, and one which will be sustained at the polls this fall. The issue on which the campaign will be fought are pretty generally known outside the state. There is no eerous faotional trouble in the Republican party, that I am aware of That doesa't sound like the talk of a nan whe ie not in accord with his party, does itf

"Thus it is that some of the states of the American anion have arisen in our favor, especially the Democratic party," are the words credited to Emilio Aguinaldo by the .Gbicago Inter* Ocean. What a predicament for a political party comprising patriotic and true Americans—to be annonneed by the leader of an armed and treacherous rebellion against the United States, as the active ally and supporter of the rebel cause. Bat yet what more natural? What more oonld be expected than that a foreigner, unfamiliar with our exaet form of government, should oonstrae the expressions of Democratic conventions and recognized Democratic leaders Into being actual revolt against the policy of the administration, liable at any time, as Is the esse In French politics, for instance, to cause a resignation of the present ministry and a direct change of policy which would withdraw our troops from the Philippines. Of course la the event of those same blatant leaders coming into supreme poweat the last thing they would actually do would be to carry out their announced convictions, but Aguinaldo is unable to distinguish honest expression from mere talk for the sake of opposing the administration, and so he coatinues bolstering up bis cause and deriving comfort and support from these seditious utterances and resolutions, thus placing largely the responsibility for the continuance of his movement upon that same party which in 1864 declared the war for the preservation of the union a failure—:"^.

pecially the Democratic party."

The best informed men in Washington have known for some time tbat Mr. Bobart was as certain of renomination as Mr. McKinley, provided the state of his health would permit him to accept. His health haB not been good Bince last winter and tbat has oaused fear on the part of his friends. There is do ground whatever for the gossip alleging a movement among prominent Republicans to supplant Mr. Hobart on the ticket.*• There is not a single Republican, prominent in national affairs, who is not cordially in favor of Mr. Hobari'sre-nomination, and President McEinley's strong friendship for Mr. Hobart is known everywhere. There has never been a President and Vice-President more thoroughly in accord, personally and politically, than these two men have been from the day they were placed on the ticket together, and there has never been a vice-president who was allowed so large a share in shap ing national policies as Mr. Bobart has had. The great ability of the man has had as much to do with this as the friendship of the President for him.

What an abiding faith- some men have in other men. There was once a man who said that wheat and silver roBe and fell together and he Btaked his entire reputation on this assertion This was one of the most absurd and ridiculous doctrines ever presented in sober sense to an intelligent community that a bushel of wheat and an ounce of silver would always be equal in value. When this statement wag made in a speech of W. J. Bryan's, Sept. 1, 1890, they were, as it happened, equal in value. Just one year later, Sept. 1, 1897, one bushel of wheat would buy two ounces of silver, and Bince that time the two commodities have always been wide apart, meandering up and down and ehowing no regard for the Bryan law. And yet there are people who still believe Wm. J. Bryan infallible.

Mb. Bbyan should make some speeches in India. They are trying to get on the gold basis there, and their benighted statesmen are even ignorant of the fact that the fall of silver from 1863 to 1894 was caused by the "crime of '73

SCHOOL CHILDREN.

A letter of Instructions to the Cousty Hupsrintendenw.

The following letter of instructions to the eonnty superintendent waa sent Tueadej from the office of the superintendent of public instruction: "Pupils who were last year In attendance in a town graded high aehool or commiasioned high school and were promoted regularly to the high eebool from the eighth grade without a diploma are entitled to tranefer when a high sehool is not maintained In the township In which they lire. In many instances it will he found that sueh pupils did not know that an examination for a diploma waa necessary. They have oomplied with all the requirements of the school and teachers, and it would be highly unjust to them to refuse a transfer now. After this year, however, the diploma must in all cases be the basis for transfer for high Bchool .privileges from the eighth grade. "We advise that in making payment for transfers the samo should be based on the actual per capita expense for educating the children, provided, of course, that it does not exceed the amounts named in the transfer law.

The payments for the year do not have to be made until July 1, 1000, at which time the per capita cost can be accurately ascertained Two corporations may enter into contract to educate the children of one at a cost less than that named in the law. "Your attention is galled especially

to the library iaw enacted by tbe last general assembly. Many district schools should secure tbe 'circulating library.' For particulars, address State Librarian W. E. Henry, Indianapolis. One section of this law gives the township trustees the right to levy a library tax if tbe people vote it. Teachers should be urged to arouse public Bentiment during tbe coming year to the end that a library tax shall be voted in many townships.' "According to law, it will be necessary for the school trustees to provide for at least sis months of school in all schools of tbe state. It the trustees do not bave sufficient funds they will be allowed to'anticipate'tbe local tuition fund for a year or two until the revenues from the increased levies bave been received

Weekly Crop Report.

The following is the weekly Indiana crop bureau report, issued yesterday: "Very warm, dry weather continued until Thursday, when it was followed by cooler weather and numerous, but badly distributed, local rains. Oorn matured very rapidly and cutting progressed all week} a large and well matured crop is in ehock late-planted oorn dried prematurely tbe rains may have dried it in some fields. A fair tobacco crop is nearly all out and houaed in good condition. Late* potatoes are being dug although the dry weather was not favorable, the yield is eonaid' ered good buckwheat promises well pleklee and tomatoes yielded fairly well, although tomatoes rotted In some ftelds grapes are abundant applee, el though many are falling off, atlll promise a fair yield, especially in the northern portion, where, in many orchards, the erop promises to be large. Olover hulling oontlnuee in some fields the yield is not very good. Pasturage is brown and dry, and many farmers are now feeding their cattle. The dry weather stopped plowing for wheat, but in many localitiee, especially in the northern portion, where good rains fell, wheat eowing has begun. Rye, sown early, is, possibly, perishing in the ground."

Wednesday bright and early Ora L. McCay and Lela F. Hudlow, from ap about Farmers' Institute, took oat a license to wed and then began the search for the proper officer to tie the nuptial knot. They eeme by happy ehanee to the office of Mayor EFmore and that dignitary waa aaked to officiate. He had never been asked to do so before and he had never done so without being asked, but inexperience Is no bar in tbe way of the decking eaptain at any* stage of the game, eo he immediately proceeded to aet as conductor of eeremonies.
