FRIDAY. MARCH 15, 1901.

THE McKinley brand of prosperity is what the people want.

SKIUNO is really here at last. The annual report of a short, peach crop has been made from southern Indiana.

THE Cubans are said to bo quieting down. How long this abnormal condition will be maintained it would be interestsng to know.

ENGLAND has rejected the American amendments 10 the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, so it is now up to this country to go ahead and construct the big canal, England or no England. At least that is what the average American feels should be done.

about as impressive as Crawfordsville's

anti-spitting ordinance.

FARM lands are bringing excellent prices in this county, and whenever a farm is offered for sale there are plenty of bidders. The hog market promises to reach six dollars within a few days and all sorts of farm products are selling at fancy figures. Thfc farmers of Montgomery county have no protest against Republican prosperity.

THE township trustees might as well have refrained from going on formal record against employing married women as teachers in the schools. By agreement they could have virtually maintained such a law. unwritten and undeclared, with the reservation of making exceptions in troublesome cases that are sure to rise in future, where the now obligatory enforcement of their own decision will cause them ernbarassment. Emergencies will arise where they will have to pass up a good teacher because she is married, to take the service of some inexperienced or incapable woman whose only recommendation is single blessedness.

ALL the municipal elections in Kansas this spring are said to be on the single issue, "wet or dry."' In other words the towns intend to decide for themselves whether law of the state) will be enforced so far as they arc con-1 -l coining summer promises to be cerned. Kansas laws seem to be just!

MK, BRYAN'S paper declares in big type that President McKinley is a tyranical emperor. It must be personally gratifying to Mr. Bryan to realize that the people of a free country prefer to be ruled by a tyrant rather than Rev. by himself. They have passed on this preferment twice, the second time more emphatically than the first.

LOUISVILLE Cmmer-Jmirnal Dent. President Hadley, of Yale, says we shall have an emperor at Washington within twenty-five years unless we create a public sentiment which will regulate trusts, regardless of legislation. Mr. Hadley. it may be remembered, thinks that we ought to abolish the trusts by refusing to invite the trust magnates to dinner. But his threat of an emperor, unless we adopt his suggestion, is not likely to accomplish much. It has been made too often in the last hundred vears.

and purposes of a large majority of the I b°

American people. A settlement along

that line will have to be reached. The United States desires peace with Cuba, but it is determined to maintain its rights even at the cost of a rupture. The thousands of lives and the hundreds of millions of dollars -which were spent by the United States in emancipating Cuba from Spanish despotism are not going to be disregarded by this country. This debt represents an obligation which the Cubans must keep in mind. A large number of the more intelligent people of Cuba undoubtedly want the American connection to be permanent. The business element, with all the foreigners—English, German, French, Spaniards and othersare unquestionably in favor of annexation. The annexation sentiment is bound to prevail some time. In the interval between this time and that, the Cubans must understand that they owe certain obligations to the United States, and that these will have to be met,

SINCE the Commercial Club decided to ask Congressman Landis to send us some bass to re-stock Sugar Creek.local anglers have, generally speaking, been in fine fettle. But some are disconsolate it seems. THE JOURNAL has received a communication urging it to demand that a few thousand channel cat lish be loosed in our waters, as only expert fishermen can catch bass whereas the "plain people" can all catch cat fish. There may be reason and logic in the demand, but THE JOURNAL feels toward the cat fish as did the gifted English poet who objected to stocking an English lake with cat fish by exclaiming:

Oh, do not bring the cat fish here The out fish is a beast. I fear They sav the cat fish climbs the trees, Ami robs tin.1 hen roosts. Down the breeze Sends the tremendous caterwaul: fray leave him in the western flood Where Mississippi churns the mud. Don't bring him her.e at nil.

REV. .1. Cr.MMINOB SMITH, a popular Presbyterian divine of Indianapolis, created a sensation at Noblesville the other day by declaring that he believed that card playing and dancing were all right for church people if indulged in at proper places. The Rev. Smith is getting somowhat ahead of the evangelical band wagon, so to speak, andjif he lived in the Crawfordsville Presbytery it is tolerably certain that he wouldn't Jget elected as a delegate to the general assembly this 'year. His contention may be all right (THE JOURNAL holds that conscience should govern in such matters) but possibly, where] so many ministers of his denomination _hold otherwise, he would best/lhave ^maintained a golden' silence and'jn his own ilock permitted quietly what did no violence to his be-1 lief. 52-r

Smith-Blue.

Last Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Blue, near New Richmond, occurred the marriage of their daughter, Miss Bessie, to Mr. William Smith, in the presence of about eighty relatives and friends.

Promptly at 7: i0 o'clock Prof. McCrea began Mendelssohn's wedding march and the officiating clergyman,

Robert Harris, of Veedersburg, followed by the attendants, Mr. Leslie Smith and Miss Frances Montgomery, and the bride and groom entered the south parlor.

The bride was attired in beautiful

gown of white organdie, trimmed in Clouser. lace and white satin ribbon. The cer- I

emony was brief but impressive, and immediately after its conclusion the bridal party led the way to the dining room, which was decorated with pink and white ribbons and carnations.

The bride was the recipient of many handome gifts, including several pieces of silver and China. On Thursday Mr. and Mrs. Norman Smith, the groom's parents, tendered the happy couple a reception at their home near Kirkpatrick. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are well and favorably known and will be at home to their many friends after April 1st at the William Blue place, near Linden. X.

Bad Boy Captured.

Tuesday night when the south bound Monon mail train rolled into town the police plucked a small boy off the pilot. The youngster had ridden clear from Chicago in that perilous position, alighting from the pilot when the train stopped and jumping on again at the start. He gave the name of Alonzo Roberts and stated that he was on his way to the far south. He is detained in jail, and the police have notified his father of his whereabouts. The boy

was much put out by his capture but

Last Sunday, March 10, was Mrs. Susan Clarkson's birthday. Her children planned and executed a complete surprise on their mother at their beautiful home in Coal Creek township. She had thought she could not be surprised, but the children succeeded in getting her to visit her daughters. Mrs. Albert Luce and Mrs. Monroe Mason, near Round Hill, during the latter part of the week and the ar-1 rangements were perfected. When she arrived home at 11:30 o'clock Sun-1 day accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. I Mason, she opened the door to find the house filled with her neighbors and I friends. After a moment she acknowl-1 edged the complete surprise, shook hands and made all welcome. Twenty-1 five ate at the well laden table and did ample justice to the excellent dinner, I after which all repaired to the parlor where J. D. Thomas in a brief speech on behalf of her children, Walter, Will, Miss Delia, Mrs. Ora Mason, and Mrs. Lessie Luce presented her an elegant oak rocker also some toilet dishes presented by her sister, Mrs. Jesse Palin. The remainder of the afternoon was spent in conversation and music. All departed feeling that this social event was enjoyed and appreciated by all present.
