TUB lioaters are reported as considerably water logged and in a rough sea.

THE jilea that the man who sells his vote is not guilty of so infamous a crime as the boy who hooks a watermelon, is not taken seriously by the Montgomery circuit court.

VOTE selling is treason, and all the legal quibbles and technicalities that can be dug out of the books can't make anything else out of it, either in the eyes of just judges or the people.

JCDGE WEST'S decision on the constitutionality of the Caraway law is one well worth the perusal of every citizen. It is grounded in right and common sense and affords food for thought. Judge West is to be congratulated.

THE YamLevens seem destined to get mixed up in every tragedy that occurs about here. Doyle and Parrish met at their place on Sunday morning. The renowned Ella was probably giving another of her famous beer parties which have such tragic sequels, r.

JOHN W KERX says in regard to the reorganization of the Democratic party: "We hold that this is not a government either for the workingmen, the farmers or the so-called business interests.'1 Take those three out of the government and there will be none left to have a government for. What does Mr. Kern understand it is for'r

A MAN'S house is his castle and lie has the right to defend it. When, however, with his knowledge and consent. his wife makes a practice of entertaining "gentlemen friends" for money, the lord of the castle should not be too charry regarding the conduct of these guests nor very handy with his gun in remonstrating against their playful antics.

CHAIRMAN BURTON said of the river and harbor bill, which is ready to be reported to the house as soon as congress reassembles: "It is not unusually heavy. It carries $23,000,000 immediately available, and $37,000,000 under continuing contracts. It is certainly not large in view of the great needs and wealth of this country. Most of the money is to be spent at important points in the country, where the shipping interests are great and the demands urgent."

BY special direction of President Mclvinley, the Hay-Pauncefote treaty was expedited after it reached the department of state, and by a steamer leaving New York to-morrow, an official copy will go to the British government. After delivering a copy of the treaty to the British government, there is nothing further for this government to do except to wait a reasonable time for the English to say what they intend doing. It took us from last February to act on the treaty and we would have no just right to complain if the British government took as long, although there is no expectation that it will.

Globc-Dcmocrat:

By de

claring for annexation Cuba can save herself many troubles which would confront her if independent. This is a truth which will become more and more evident to the intelligent people in the island as time passes. The constitution framers are likely to be affected by the drift of sentiment among the people whom they represent. As part of the American republic the Cubans would belong to the greatest and most progressive nation of the world, while as an independent country they would have a very small and irsecure place on the map. The political advance which

Porto Rico has already made shows the promotion which would be in store for the Cubans very soon after they became part of the population of the United States.

M'KIMJ'A* PROSPERITY. Louisville Times (Dem.): We are told that "more money was 6pent in Christmas gifts this year in New York than ever before, and the same is true in regard to charitable gifts. It was only because a case of destitution was kept hidden that the unfortunates were not supplied with Christmas cheer." And the same is true of Louisville, and doubtless of all cities of the country.

The closing year of the nineteenth century has been an exceptionally fat one, and man is realizing more and more that for at least one day in the year he is his brother's keeper.

.Rural .Delivery Bo.xes.

The following information is given in regard to delivery boxes on rural free delivery routes:

J. Congress has not authorized the department to require the adoption of any particular description of box for use on rural free delivery routes. 2. For the protection of the mails, the department insists that the boxes put up shall be secure an appropriate, and of a character to give protection from the weather and to be reasonably proof against mischievous or malicious interference. Metalic boxes are deemed best for this purpose, and it is desired, though not imperatively required, that they should be of uniform make. :i. Such boxes, when put up with the approval -of the postmaster general, through his authorized agents, are regarded as falling under the protection of Section ."406, United States Revised Statutes (section 1424 of the postal laws and regulations), which provides that: "Any person who shall wilfully or maliciously injure, deface, or destroy any mail matter deposited in any letter box, pillar box, or other receptacle established by authority of the postmaster general, shall be liable to a fine of not moro than $500 and imprisonment for not more than three year: 4. Postmasters are instructed to call the attention of the United States attorney for the district to any violation of this provision of law, and to aid in the discovery and prosecution of the offender. Very respectfully,

W. M. JOHNSON,

First Assistant Postmaster General.

PAYING STATE DEBT.

Another Half Million to Be Wiped Away Next Year.

The state of Indiana will pay almost half a million dollars on its debt during the coming year. Auditor Hart expects to turn enough into the sinking fund from the proceeds of the December settlement with the counties for Treasurer Levy to pay about $215,000 next week. The total debt of the state amounts to between four and five million dollars. Some of it cannot be paid until J915. In the meantime the total indebtedness is being reduced as rapidly as possible. The state is not contracting any debts, and if the present rate of paying off its obligations is kept up, the prospect is that Indiana' will be out of debt by the time the last payment on the present amount is paid.

The present rate of paying off the indebtedness of the state has been kept up in spite of the fact that the last legislature appropriated about three times as much money as usual. The state officials believe that payments will continue to be made regularly even if large expenditures are made, such is the prosperous condition of the com monwealth.

After the conclusion of the ceremony the bridal party and immediate relatives repaired to the home of the bride's parents where a wedding suppar was served. The decorations were holly and smilax. From nine till twelve an informal reception was given and congratulations received. The bride was the recipient of many useful and beautiful presents.

BliVAN'S FIRST CHANCE,

'Hie Krsiwhile Candidate's First Appcuranoe Since Klection. Lincoln, Neb., Dee. 27.—The annual banquet of the Jeft'ersoniau club of Lincoln last night at the Lincoln hotel got togi-tluT nearly 300 representative members of the Democratic and Populist parties of Nebraska, together with a number of leaders from other elates.. The dinner gave Hon. William J. Bryan an opportunity to make his first appearanre at a public gathering since the election, and an enthusiastic greeting was accorded him. His address received the closest attention, and the applause was frequent.

Aside from the remarks of Mr. Bryan, the event: of the evening was the speech of John W. Kern, defeated Democratic candidate for governor of Indiana, who aroused the banqueters to a high pitch of enthusiasm, not only by his laudations of Mr. Kr.van, but by his outspoken criticism of those Democrats whom he accused of contributing to Bryan's defeat. His denunciations of those Democrats who offered "gratuitous counsel to Democracy," though he mentioned no names, was accepted by the crowd as a reference to former President Cleveland.

Dtidy Says It Isn't So.

Havana, Dec. 27.—Charges reflecting upon Mii hael J. Dady having been made in 1 lie mayor's ofiicc in connection with the sewering and paving contract, Mr. Dady lias denounced as utterly false the statement that $50,000 had been offered to Mayor Rodriguez with a view of influencing his decision. At the same time he declared that, if anyone would make an affidavit tixing the responsibility for the slanderous accusation, he would take steps to procure the arrest and prosecution of the instigator, even if it should prove to be the mayor himself.

A "Heap" Bad Indian.

Chamberlain. S. D„ Dec. 27— News has readied the city from tlie Brule Indian agency that "Handsome Elk," the most dangerous and desperate redskin of the Northwest, beat his squaw in a brutal manner with a neckyoke. It is thought the squaw will die. Elk then seized another Indian woman, Bear Bird's daughter, and scalped her. Then arming himself with his and other firearms, he went into the hills, a short distance from his home, and left word that friend or foe must not approach him.

Cast Steel Maile Long Ago.

over 1,800 years old.
