LOGANSPOBT La BO weli satisfied with her municipal light plant and her municipal water works that she is seriously considering the advisability of buying the independent telephone plant, If this is done it will be to prevent the absorption of the independent concern by the Bell company.

LOGANSPOBT, having tried munici pal ownership of electric light and water works, is seriously considering the advisability of purchasing and operating a telephone exchange. If the enterprise is undertaken it will be to prevent the absorption of the independent system by the Bell company.

MB. JOHN R. MCLEAN, Ohio's Democratic candidate for governor, is waging a bitter campaign against trusts. Having made millions out of the Washington gas light company, and as president of that concern now receiving a •alary double that he would get as governor of Ohio, be knows just how to go to work to knock wicked trusts in splintering smithereens.

WHEN Dewey was in Washington, Senator Hanna called upon the President, but found him engaged with the admiral, whereupon" he simply deferred his visit until another time, the same as any other citizen would have done. This was a little different, however, from yellow journal versions of Hanna's efforts to break in on an interview between the President and Admiral Dewey and his rage at being foiled in the attempt.

THE settlement for the time of the Alaska boundary dispute, by Canada's acceptance of the temporary boundary line, sometime ago agreed upon by Secretary Hay and Great Britain's diplomatic representative in Washington, 1b a great diplomatic triumph for this administration. The temporary boundary line gives Canada neither a port, nor an outlet on the Lynn canal, both of which Sir Wilfrid Laurier recently Eaid it must have or there would be war.

THB Daily Progress is the name of a paper just launched on the journalistic •ea at Bloomington. The paper carries at the head of its editorial column the words, "The only paper in Bloomington that dares to publish the news." This reminds UB of another paper that started on its tempestuous voyage carrying at the head of itB column the legend, "The only paper in that tells the truth." It ran on thus for a week and then one morning its readers saw the declaration changed to read, "Until the editor recovers from his injuries this paper will lie like other papers." The Progress should be forewarned.

SECRETARY ROOT fiods much to please him just tiow. The military move jments in the Philippines during the last few days, which are preliminary to the general campaign, have all been successful, notwithstanding the bad condition of the ground after the long rainy season. In every case the ob ject

Bought

was obtained. Secretary

Root thinks this the beginning of the end, and that long before the close of the dry season there will be no armed bodies of Filipinos on the island of Luzon, and no difficulties are antic! "pated on any of the other islands. Everybody now looks forward to the early pacification of the Philippines Another thing that pleased Secretary Boot was the telegram from Havana statin? that the taking of the census had been started on schedule time and that everything has been arranged for its early completion.

THE war between Great Britain, and the Transvaal republic will be likely to prove decidedly profitable t!o this country, as our neutrality will not prevent our selling supplies to both, excepting, of course, arms and munitions of war. Our peace commerce with the Transvaal—last year the total was slightly under $2,000,000—is so small that its loss will not be seriously felt. This government will be strictly neutral in the war, and our consular officers in South Africa will return the courtesy extended to us by British con-

CONTRACTION IS THE ISSUE. St. Louis Olobe-Democrat: In

hiB

remarks at Cedar Falls, Iowa, the President very effectively countered on the "anti-imperalists." "It is no longer a question of, expansion with us," he said. "We have expanded. If there is any question aboutit at all, it is a question of contraction, and who is going to contract?" This is the correct way of putting the issue. It is the way which is beginning to present itself to sensible persons of every party. Leading Democrats are beginning to see this just a clearly as the Republicans. "We have already expanded," says ex-Qov. Hogg, one of the most conspicuous of Texas Democrats, in a Bpecch ju6t delivered at Austin. "When the 820,000,000 voted by the last congress for that purpose was paid to Spain for the Philippines the United States got all the title there was to those islands, and we have expanded in defiance of the Texas Democratic platform. The Philippines now belong to the United States. It is for the next congress to say what we shall do with them." Among clear headed men of all partisan

Beets

this

iB the position which is being taken. Ex-Gov. Hogg has been an ardent Bryan man until recently, but his attitude on this vital issue puts him outside of the Bryan contingent. There is no common ground on which a Democrat like Hogg and one who takes the Bryan side can stand.

The doctrine of anti?expansion, as preached by the leaders of the Bryan wing of the Democracy, is party suicide. Any opposition to expansion now means contraction, and the party which advocates territorial contraction can not carry five states out of the forty-five. Apparently Bryan iB committed to the flag-furling policy. He has been gradually forced to abandon silver, for even he is shrewd enough to

Bee

that the failure

of that issue ^n a period of national adversity like 1896 means that it would be overwhelmingly beaten in a time like this when the country is prosperous. Therefore, in order to make a fight on anything his side will be compelled to oppose the administration's Philippine policy. As this policy has already been accomplished, the man who fightB it proclaims that he wants to give up territory which has been ceded to us by the only power which had any title to it, and which we hold on as good a lien as

we

on Missouri, Nebraska or any other state of the Louisiana province. The biggest blunder of Cleveland's second administration was in pulling down the flag at Hawaii. The political organization which advocates the furling of the flag in the Philippines, Cuba and Porto Rico, as Bryan and his adherents are doing, and as they will be forced to do in the campaign of 1900, will be beaten so badly that it will be forever afterward as dead as the Whig or the anti-Masonic party.

SENATOR HAYWABD, of Nebraska, who is in Washington, and who is thoroughly posted on the political situation in the stat^, says he is satisfied that the Republicans will win, although Mr. Bryan is making greater effortB to prevent it than he did to carry the state for himself in '96 Speaking of the national outlook, Senator Hay ward ssid: "I regard therenomination of Mr. Bryan aB absolutely certain, and hi6 defeat as inevitable. He can'-t get the prosperous citizens of the west excited over aB dead an issue BB free silver is. Nor can he gain any capital by his stand upon the Philippine question, though it is rather diffi cult to learn jast where he does stand on that subject. At all events, he won't be able toiget the electoral

voteB

of his own state next year, and outside of the south, the voters everywhere will record themselves overwhelmingly for his Republican opponent

INDIANA LEADS.

Largest Area Covered By Rural Free Delivery—Crawfordsville District.

A spcclal from Washington says: "The rural free delivery By stem will receive considerable attention in the forthcoming report of First Assistant Postmaster General Heath. The state of Indiana has a larger area now covered by rural delivery carriers than any other state in the union, while Ohio comes second and California third. The most perfect service in the country is said to be in the vicinity of Crawfordsvillo, Ind., which will be discussed in the report with illustrations. Much encouragement has been given to the department by the people of Indiana in establishing the service. "The local authorities have shown their appreciation of it by spending money liberally for improving the highways. In one instance a community in Indiana paid 82,600 for improving a road to put it in condition to facilitate the travel of the carriers. It is not likely that there will be any further extensions of rural free delivery until congress makes another appriation. The routes already established and those ordered will take up about all of the appropriation of $300,000 made by the last congress for this service. The department does not wish to have

a

deficit. The great ob­

jection that has been urged

againBt

rural free delivery was that the carriers could not cover a sufficient jtrea in a day to make rural delivery practicable. The department will be able to show some very good results in this line this year. On one route in the Santa Clara valley of California a carrier made forty miles in one day, and gave a satisfactory service along the entire route."

A Solution.

To the Editor of the Journal. Many teachers have failed to get a solution for the 35th problem on page 221, in the ndw Indiana arithmetic, and I have been requested to give a solution. Another solution could be given, but the one offered is logical.

Problem—How many acres does a square tract of land contain which sells for 980 an acre, and which is paid for by the number of silver dollars that will lie upon

itB

have

boundary.

It is claimed that the teachers' edition is silent in regard to this problem. Some have claimed it incapable of solution, while others are still hunting for one. 1 acre= 6272640 sq. inches.

X2=sq. in. in tract. X=lengtli of one side. 4X=distance around in inches. Silver dollar is inches in diameter, then S=money it sells for.

Miss Kraut's New Hook.

Under the title of "A Lookei*on in London," Mary H. Krout has given her impressions of divers aspects of English life as observed by ber between the opening of parliament in August, 1895, and the celebration of the diamond jubilee in the spring of 1897, and through the intelligent vivacity with which they are conveyed, has made them as instructive as they are entertaining. Thay embrace many, if not mcs', of the things which would be likely to interest an educated American woman in London at the period in question, including such ser ious things as Pentonville prison and the Lower Courts, Btudies of English women and their affairs, women's clubs and women's colleges and such historic national eventB as were involved in the Venezuela controversy, and the congeries of circumstances which have produced the present con fiict in the Transvaal, to which five chapters are devoted, in two of which we have an account of the Jameson trial as witnessed by the. writer. Lighter topics are touched upon in chapters descriptive of the Primrose League, Henley, the Princess Maud's wedding, the illuminations, and the jubilee commemoration at Oxford.

'Phone to Indianapolis,

The copper circuit of the Home Telephone Company to Indianapolis is now complete and in perfect order. The Bervice is magnificent and cannot be surpassed.

As to Old Kentucky.

Captain Talbot does not believe that the visit of Bryan to Kentucky will do the Democracy any good. The captain states that when he was in the state a few days ago he was astonished at the great number of old line Democrats who will bolt the ticket this fall because they are unable to stomach Goebel. He found scores of "old Johnnies" who never even scratched the Democratic ticket, who will not vote it thiB fall. They declare that Goebelism, if enthroned, will ruin the the party in the state.

School House Dedicated.

The New Ross school house was dedicated Sunday afternoon, there being an immense crowd present to witness the exerciseB, which were conducted by the Rev. J. W. Riley, of Mace. The special music was excellent and the services as conducted by Mr. Riley were both beautiful and impressive. The house is one of the handsomest and most modern in the county, costing nearly nine thousand dollars. The people of Walnut township are justly proud of the structure.

Mrs. Whitehead's Will.

The will of Elma G. Whitehead was probated Saturday at Lafayette. The contents of the instrument provide for numerous Bmall bequests, and after those stipulated are made the rest and residue of the estate, real, personal and mixed, is bequeathed to the children of Ethen Meharry and Lottie M. Hawthorn, per capita, share and share alike. Frank Acheson is named in the will as executor and was duly appointed by the court Saturday morning, giving bond in the

Bum

of 830,000.

On Trial.

Robert Smith, of Ripley township, a young man who bears a striking resemblance to a hedgehog, was on trial Monday in the circuit court on a charge of having stolen a horse belonging to David Pavey. The theft was committed away last summer and Smith, who was arrested the very next day with the horse in his possession, has been in jail ever since, awaiting trial. His defense is that he bought the horse of a stranger. He will likely be sent over the road.

Speaking of Good Thing*.

Says the Waveland Independent: "There are precious few people who are not susceptible of praise. A mighty good habit to fall into is that of commending an especially good piece of work, or extra effort. It is just that sort of thing that encourages a man to try to rise above a dead level."

The above remindB us that the Independent last week got out a handsomely printed and illustrated business edition that was a credit to the town. There was nothing about it that smacked of dead level.

Heard From.

Waveland Independent: Letters have been received here from Rev. J. A. McKee and wife, mailed at Yokohama, Japan, on Sept. 25. They had had a pleasant voyage, after the first few days, when all hands succumbed to the inevitable mal de mer. Their course waq so far north that they skirted several of the Aleutian Islands, and enjoyed the cool Arctic winds. They expected to stay a couple of days at Yokohama and to reach Bangkok by last Saturday.

Were Harried.

Wednesday evening, Oat. 18, in First Presbyterian church, Mr. Oliver S Moore and Miss Anna A. Fenton were quietly married by Dr. H. L. Nave. They begin housekeeping at once at their new home east of the city. Both

Samuel Wright, who iB employed at the Central Iron & Steel Co., Brazil, Ind., works every day at tjie most trying employment a man's physical condition is able to stand, in fact, but few men could endure 4he performance of such work without breaking down completely, for he works before a furnace of molten metal and the heat is something intense, almost beyond the real conception of the ordinary mind. Hug* streams of perspiration trickle down their bodies all the time they work, causing the pores of the skin to be open to cold and draughtB and through this they often take cold that settles in their kidneyB. Two years ago the cold s^tled in Mr. Wright's kidneys, causing kidney disorder, and he endured all the suffering and annoyance which arises from this condition, until he heard of Morrow's Kid-ne-oids and to-day he recommends tbem to all his friends as being an unfailing remedy for kidney disorder, as every trace of the old trouble has left him.

He talks about the weather, or Ije tells bow he would run the war. Against the world be makes a roar. He airs his lilliputian store Of mildewed, mediocre lore. He talks until your head is sore. You want to sink down through ths floor, Tou long to rise and shed his gore. You yearn to kick him through the door. And then, as was remarked before, He talks and talks and tallrf some more—
