FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1002.
VICTORY for the county ticket is Made surer by the victory of yesterday.
EX-WAKDEN SIIIDEL,ER says he will be a candidate for governor before the next Republican convention. With such men as Shideler, Gilbert and Hart to choose from the party can make no mistake in selecting the successor to J)urbin.
THK bulletin of the state board of health shoves that smallpox is still prevalent over Indiana. It is to the credit of our local health authorities backed by the city council that the disease is entirely stamned out in Crawfordsville and vicinity.
THE nomination of David E. Sheraick for the office of state auditor shows the splendid Democratic form of our government—a government where liberty, freedom and opportunity are offered alike to all—a government where the poor and humble boy may rise to the highest pinnacle of power and responsibility and where wealth and caste are no passport to public honors and preferment. It is said that nearly all the nominees of the Republican state ticket were born on the farm and were school teachers—Noblesville Ledger.
A REAL Kentucky general, Gentry by name, has shocked the blue bloods of his state by inviting Booker T. Washington to dind with him at his home in Lexington. All the colonels and judges and officials of high and low degree in the blue grass state are throwing ten fits a day and demanding that Governor Beckham remove Gen. Gentry from his staff, Mr. Gentry says: "I don't care what the carping crlt ics may say. Booker Washington is a remarkable man and I honor him. He is a man after my own heart. I consider it an honor to entertain him."
Gen. Gentry's independence is to be admired but inasmuch as Mr. Washington lessens his influence in the south by unnecessarily running counter to violent prejudices prevalent there it would seem the part of wisdom for him to decline such invitations.
THOSE PHILIPPINE ATKO'CITIKS It will be remembered with what ghoulish glee the Democratic party agitated and exaggerated the so-called embalmed beef scandals during the Spanish war. With courage President McKinley faced the issue and ordered a searching investigation. The truth was established and the Democrats lo3t a lot of campaign material. Again the Democratic party comes forward as the champions of an effort to destroy the good name of our army in the Philippines. The stories of cruelty inllicted by American soldiers may have som6 basis of truth. The investigation ordered by President Roosevelt will settle that. But it can be depended on that the Democrats will be ready to drop the cruelty stories as a campaign hsue because when the whole truth is known the humanity and bravery of trie American soldier will make the occasional lapses from the rules of civilised warfare seem insignificant. Sei ator Lodge in his speech yesterday e.ted the atrocities practiced on Arnerican soldiers by the Filipinos, outrages and barbarities which, to use the senator's own words, "would make a marble saint thirst for vengeance." Space will not permit an enumeration of the frightful atrocities which have been perpetrated on the American boys and which have made their comrades., crazed with the sight of their brother's suffering, overstep, in a few instances, the bounds of civilized warfare. When ihe American people have read the senator's speech their horror at the pictures which have been drawn for the.r imagination by Democratic partisans will be turned to pity, and to gratification that the American forces have shown themselves to tolerant, so merciful and eo well disciplined in the face of such frightful provocation
What the Democrats have been exultingly contemplating as magnificent material for the campaign will be shorn of its oratorical flowers and made to stand out as partisan vilification of American soldiers.

Text of tli«* Li'ssnn. Acts vii, 1-10. Memory Verses,
From 1 lie time that Ihe devil, the murderer ami liar (John viii, -i n. put it into the heart ol' Cain to kill Abel lie has ever shown his hatred of (iod ami Ihe people of !od b.v lisintj h,s worst weapon, death i.IIeb. ii, 1-1", aixl tiiat even against the Son of God lliinself. It was a tfood day for James, for he was instanll.v with the Lord iu the enjoyment of tin ver.v far better. 3-.". And because he saw It pleased the Jews lie proceeded further to take Peter also.
P.eini: Passover time, lie kept Peter in prison under the care of four companies of soldiers, intending after that season to kill hint also to still further please the Jews—some of the same Jews, no doubt, who were pleased to crucify the Lord Jesus and stone Stephen and all the while profess to be doing Cod service. Yet God lives, the only living and true God. and all power is llis, and lie permits these things to lie, and lie is not discouraged, and the kingdoms of this ivorld shall yet lie the kingdom of our Lord and of llis Christ (Ue\. si. 1."). AW can do what the church did for I'eter, earnestly and unceasingly cry unto k".l and lie ready to lay down our lives for Christ. fi. Peter was sleeping between two soldiers bound with two chains.
A double guard, a strong prison, chains, gates, and, as far as human vision could see. death for Peter on the morrow, yet I'eter slept, and doubtless quietly, for he was in Christ and Christ in Cod. The wall of lire was round about him. and with him all was well whether he remained in the mortal body or not (Col. iii, Zecli. ii. 8 Isa. iii. l(b. It is grand to see C.od and not circumstances nor people to sec circumstances and people only through Cod and he still and know that lie is God U's. xlvi. Hi Uom. viii. US, li!b. 7-0. And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light sliined in the prison.
I'.efore I'eter could realize it his chains were off. his sandals were on. his garment about him. and he was following the angel out ol' the prison, the soldiers still soundly sleeping, but I'eter thought it was all a beautiful vision which Cod had granted him. IIow great and glorious is the ministry of angels who minister unto the heirs of salvation! (Ileb. i, II.) 10. 11. When Peter was come to himself, he sakl. Now I know of a surety that the Lord hath sent Ills angel and hath delivered me out of the hand of lierod and fronj. all the expectation of the people of tlie Jews. '••{$&?•.•**?&.
On they went past tlio first watch and the second, and the iron gate opened of its own accord—perhaps other angels swung it open at the approach of the angel followed by I'eter—and still on they went through one street, well away from the prison, before the angel left I'eter. Then, being left alone and lindin: himself in the night out on a street of the city, he began to realize that it was no dream, but that he was actually a free man by the mighty power of an angel of Cud. 12. He came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, whose surname was Mark. where many were gathered together
This iie did as soon as. having come to lliinself. he considered the matter. He knew just where to go, for on a previous occasion when he and John had been released from prison and from the power of the rulers, it is written that "being let go they went to their own company" (Acts iv, 23). 33-15. Thou art mad. It is his angel.

[Copyright, 1102, by American Press Association.] 1. 2. Now. about tlint time Horod tlie king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church, and lie killed James, the brother of John, with the .sword.
What strange words from a company of praying believers when they arc told that their prayers are answered and I'eter is at the door knocking for admission, lihoda was so glad that she forgot to open the door for him, and they were so amazed that they could not believe her. We might not wonder to have the world count the believer mad (Isa. lix, 15, margin llos. ix. 7 John x, 20). but for believers, anil such as these, to count: each other mad is more strange. May we not be so .slow to act upon Jer. xxxiii, o, or to live iu Ts. lxii, 0. 1C. 17. Go shew these things.unto Jamosand to the brethren.
Peter continued knocking, the only tiling he could do, for doors did not open to him as prison gates to the angel, and in due time they opcnctl to him and were astonished to see him. He, quietiug them, told them all that the Lord had done for him and bade them tell James and the others. This is tlie .Tames of chapter xv. 13, who seems to have been president, of the council at Jerusalem. James the brother of John having been slain (verse 2i. Every redeemed soul has been delivered from prison and death far worse than any lierod could afflict with, anil how gladly we should tell of the deliverauccGoil has wrought for us (I's. xl, 3-3), but how few seem glad to tell it to His glory tlmt lie may be magnified.
IS. IS). Herod's soldiers put to death, and lierod himself dying such an awful death (verse 23), while refer was delivered from their hands, reminds us of that morning when Daniel came forth from the den of lions, but his enemies were put into the saiqe den never to come forth. It makes us think of the glorious morning of our Lord's appearing (Ps. xlix, 14 xxx, 5 xlvi, 5, margin exxx, 6, etc.)' for the deliverance of His people and of the unbelievers for whom there shall be no morning, but only the outer darkness forever (Isa. viii, 20, R. V.).
