THE outlook seems brighter for the Cuban patriots. If they are able to hold out through October it is thought they will be successful. The insurgents number about 25,000, while the Spaniards 60,000. Most Americans wish the Cubans success.

WHEAT went up 4% cents in Chicago Wednesday, but dropped a little the next day. With the general failure all over the country and the small supply on hand, wheat will probably go to $1 per bushel. The great trouble with Hancock couuty farmers is, they will not have much of it to sell.

WJI BYNUM will not have a large number ot converts to his financial views on account, of his recent speeches. One place there were but 50 out to hear him, and at Rusliville Thursday night there were only a hundred who listened to his tedious address. How the mighty have fallen! The Republicans never did think much of Bynum's statesmanship, and now with about two-thirds of the Democrats going back on him, it leaves him with a slim following. Byuum, who was a few years ago the popular speaker from Tammany Hall to Denver, Col., and a mighty man with his party, now talks to only a few dozen people right here at home. Whether Bynum changed his views in order to stand in with Cleveland and get an office or not, the people think he did, ani as they have no use for that kind of a man, he has lost his grip in Indiana.

some counties of the State the tax payers of the couuty have got on to the fact that they are being systematically robbed by some of the bridge companies. The Indianapolis Journal shows the way in which it is done. It says

The plan of operation involves the division of the State into sections, one of which is apportioned to each company, with the understanding that it is to have ail the contracts for bridge building in ue county within that section. An appearance of competition is made by the i.ther companies filing bids which are purposely and knowingly higher than those of the favored' company, which are still high enough to afford a big profit. By thus dividing the field and practically stifling competition each company gets a good slice of business at its own prices. No doubt some of the County Commis•eioners are in the deal, but it can be made successful even without their co-opera tion. It is really a trust to prevent competition, to keep up the cost of bridge building and to fleece the people.

The Indiana Bridge Company, of Muncie, has had the cinch in Hancock county. We always wondered how they got about all the contracts, but it is now easily understood.

Hoke's Joke.

"I was with Bland—" the stranger said Said the farmer, "Say no more! A friend of Bland finds an open hand

Within my cottage door." The stranger heaved a tender sigh "I was with Stewart," he said "Enough," said the host "I loved him most

He was on to silver dead." "I was with Harvey," the stranger said Said the fanner, 'Tis enough! Come in and ihare my generous fare.

He is the proper stuff." '•I was with Bryan," the stranger said. "No more, then, shall you roam," The farmer cried, "step right inside

And own my humble home."

The stranger smiled a little smile. "I was with them," he said, "But now I'm not, for I've had a shot

At a Cabinet job instead." The farmer spit upon his hands. (He loved a little joke Atid he softly said, as he buried the dead,

A Toast.

God bless the tree American shore! ip God bless her sons who stoutly bore ij* The banner of the stripes and stars Triumphant through her fiercest wars! Slay wealth and peace in her abound! May still she be by freedom crowned! May virtue, truth and happiness Her generous sons and daughters bless I May heaven's choicest blessings fall Upon her children, one and all! Protect them, Lord, from every harm In times of peace or war's alarm, And may their prayer forever be, "God bless American liberty!" Yes, sons of freedom, shout this toast Through all the land from coast to coast Until its thunder tones arise In deafening chorus to the skies, Till distant lands shall hear the strain' And answer back the glad refrain, Till rouna the earth, from pole to pole, The echoes of its thunder roll. Till every freeman's song shall be," "God bless American liberty!" —Tyrone Benburd.

Myself and Mine.

Let me have my own way. Let others promulge the laws. I will make no account of the laws. Let others praise eminent men and hold tip peace. I hold tip agitation and conflict. I praise no eminent man. I rebuke to his face the one that was thought most worthy.

(Who are you? And what are you secretly guilty of all your life? Will you turn aside all your life? Will you grub and chatter all your life? And who are you, blabbing by rote, years, pages, languages, reminiscences, Unwitting today that you do not know how to speak properly a single word?)

Let others finish specimens. I never finish specimens. I start them by exhaustless laws, as nature does, fre.sh and modern continually.

I give nothing as duties. What others give as duties I give as living impulses. (Shall I give the heart's action as a duty?)

Let others dispose of questions. I dispose of nothing. I arouse unanswerable questions. Who are they I see and touch, and what about them? What about these likes of myself that draw me so close by tender directions and indirections?

I call to the world to distrust the accounts of my friends, but listen to my enemies, as I myself do. I charge you forever reject those who would expound me, for I cannot expound myself. I charge that there be no theory or school founded out of me. I charge you to leave all free, as I have left all free. —Walt Whitman.

Forty Years After.

We climbed to the top of Goat Point hill, Sweet Kitty, my sweetheart, and I, And watched the moon make stars on the waves

And the dim white ships go by, While a throne we made on a rough stone wall. And the king and the queen were we, And I sat with my arm about Kitty

And she with her arm about me.

The water was mad in the moonlight, And the sand like gold where it shone, And our hearts kept time to the music

As we sat in that splendor alone, And Kitty's dear eyes twinkled brightly, And Kitty's brown hair blew so free, While I sat with my arm about Kitty

And she with her arm about me.

Last night we drove in our carriage To the wall at the top of the hill, And though we're forty years older

We're children and sweethearts still, And we talked again of that moonlight That danced so mad on the sea When I sat with my arm about Kitty

And she with her arm about me.

The throne on the wall was still standing, But we sat in the carriage last night, For a wall is too high for old people

Whose foreheads have linings of white, And Kitty's waist measure is forty, While mine is full fifty and three, So I can't get my arm about Kitty,

Ntir can she get both hers about me. -Life.

For Gretclien on the Wheel.

Good health to all, good pleasure, good speed. A favoring breeze, but not too high, For the outbound spin 1 Who rides may read

The open secret of earth and sky.

For life is quickened and pulses bound. Morbid questionings sink and die As the wheel slips over the gliddery ground

And the young day wakes in a crimson sky.

Oh, the merry comradeship of the road, With trees that nod as we pass thnm by, With hurrying bird and lurking toad

Or vagabond cloud in the noonday sky!

Oh, the wholesome smell of the good brown earth When showers have fallen for Buns to dryl Oh, the westward run to the mystic birth

Of a silver moon in a golden sky!.

Good health to all, good pleasure, good speed, A favoring breeze, but not too high, For the homeward spin! Who rides may read

The open secret of earth and sky. —Marguerite Merington.

A Dear Little Goose.

While I'm in the ones, I can frolic all the day, I "n laugh, I can jump, I can run about and play, But when I'm in the tens, I must get up with the lark And sew and read and practice from early mora till dark. When I'm in the twenties, I'll be like sister Jo, 111 wear the sweetest dresses and maybe have a beau, I'll go. to balls and parties and wear my hair up high, Anl not a girl in all the town shall be as gay aa I. When I'm In the thirties, I'll be just like mamma, maybe I'll be married to a splendid big papa. I'll order things and go to teas and grow little fat, But mother is so sweet and nice I'll not object to that.

Oh, what comes after thirty? The forties 1 Mercy, my! When I grow as old as forty, I think 111 have to die. Dut, like enough, the world wont last until we see that day— fc'§ so very, very, very, very, very far awayl —Mary Mapes Dodge.

AN ENEMY TO HER SEX.

That's What Mary H. Krout Says of the Editor of The Saturday Review.

In the good time that is coming—of equal suffrage and of equal, rights in all the avocations of life, the time that shall mark the abolition of discrimination because of sex—The Saturday Review will be remembered as one of the chief opponents of liberality and justice. Whenever or wherever it can utter a slur upon women, the falsehood and the insult have gone forth. Unfortunately its chief mouthpiece is a woman— a woman so sour and hard that one wonders much at the fate and experience that could so have imbittered her judgment that she is incapable of being even fair upon the simplest question where the interests of other women are involved. The world of working women has in her a pronounced enemy, for she believes that all women should remain at home and be protected, whether they have a home or not, and even where there is no one willing to assume the burden of the protection. The latest diatribe from The Saturday Review against the hated sex is a charge that women are incapable of friendship or even good will toward each other that they will betray confidence without regret, break faith with impunity and quarrel over a pirated bonnet or an alienated lover.

It goes for nothing that history can give many noble examples of lasting friendships between women and that there are other illustrious examples to be studied in our own times, while there is no one who cannot recall in his or her own immediate circle women who have been faithful friends for years, between whom the cloud of suspiciou has never risen and whom sorrow and adversity or that still greater test, fortune and prosperity, could never separate. There is no so called self made woman who cannot name some faithful woman friend who held out the helping hand just at the right moment who opened her doors and received her into the hospitality of her own home who sent the timely check that made possible the priceless opportunity which turned the tide of fortune.

The faithful friendships between women whose poverty is a common bond could they be known would revive one's faith in human nature and its possibilities of divinity. They divide their all —the crowded room, the lean purse, the unwonted luxury, the few possessions— and with a self abnegation so complete that one can well believe that life itself would be surrendered if it were required.

The real truth is that women who satirize and misrepresent their own sex know nothing of women. They have proved themselves hostile and treacherous, and from such traitors good women turn away instinctively. They know that they have nothing to hope for at their hands.

It is difficult to understand what could be the motive of writers of Mrs. Lynn Lynton's type. Do they seek to curry favor with men? Is it a method of proclaiming their own superiority over a sex which they have endeavored to prove are so manifestly inferior, morally, intellectually and physically? No one can tell, not even themselves, if they were pressed for an explanation of their motives. They should learn one thing, however, and that is that, however their power may be limited in other directions, women are social arbiters. The edict has gone forth that there is no breach of good breeding more heinous than the detraction and misrepresentation of one woman at the hands of another. So if conscience and generosity are no restraint rigorous rules of etiquette may be. The woman who is a woman's worst enemy is no longer the fashion. As a type she is destined to become as obsolete as Lydia Languish or Clarissa Harlowe.—Mary H. Krout in Chicago Inter Ocean.

She Stood Up For Her Rights.

Mrs. Lee is a woman barber in Chicago. She heard the other day that the council was going to pass an ordinance prohibiting women from engaging in the occupation of barbering, so when the barbers held a mass meeting she presented herself in behalf of the hundred or more women who are to be found in Chicago shops. She represented that women are forging to the front in the business. "There is a reason for this," she said. "Women barbers do not drink or carouse consequently their nerves are always steady and their touch is light. They do not chew tobacco nor smoke cigars, and always treat their customers with the utmost politeness." This plain talk created a great, uproar, but Mrs. Lee smiled and sat down, satisfied that she had shown the meeting that women can hold their own anywhere.—Chicago Correspondent

Dutch Bonnet of Real Hair.

A girl sat near me at the theater the other night who was the observed of observers, and die knew it, says the Woman About Town in the Washington Post Her gown was like any one of a Half dozen pretty frocks in the house, but her hair was unique. Ton thought when you first looked at her that she was wearing a bonnet, but she wasn't Her heavy brown hair was dragged to the crown of her head, and there twisted and puffed and pinned into a very fair imitation of a Dutch bonnet, complete even to the big bow in the back. It was odd, it was striking, but it was decidedly the very latest fashion and she knew it. What is more to the point, all the women who saw it knew it, and the wearer knew they knew it.

Our Daughters.

If there be any general "revolt of the daughters," which I do not believe, there must be some deep underlying germ of disease in our modern civilization. It can hardly occur when parents are wise and loving and when, for the fussiness of wearisome restraints and incessant interferences, they substitute the firm control of gentleness and love.

Archdeacon Farrar in "Woman's Work."

Well.

"For four years I was a sufferer fronr nervous debility. DuriDg that time I took a great many remedies without getting any help until I tried Paine's celery compound. I took six bottles of that remedy and was cured. I cheerfully recommend Paine's celery compound."

So writes Mrs. M. S. Schoonmaker of 8034 Jane street, New York City. Too many women needlessly suffer from nervous troubles, not only in the cities, but everywhere.

Their whole world too frequently lies inside the four walls of their homes. Think of the many persons, men as well as women, who spend most of their lives barricaded within the narrow confines of their dwellings. Summer finds them pale and tired out. Their store of nervous vitality has been slowly brought down by vitiated air and sedentary life. Their whole system needs a thorough replenishing. The nerves want nourishment, the tissue3 are not half supplied with material for the repair of their parts, and the great vital organs must have

TGRKE HAUTE FAIR HACKS.

A Great Meeting on the Greatest Track In the World—More than 300 Entries.

All lovers of real sport will be interested in the great meeting of the Terre Haute Fair Races, at the world-famous Terre Haute track' August 5th. 6th, 7th8th and 9th' at which purses aggregating |30,000 are offered. The prograrae comprise 21 races, in 14 of which there are nearly 300 entries, and there are seven others to close in a few days, which will swell the grand total to about 400 entries. These races embrace all the classes of trotting and pacing, and the best horses of the entire country are entered in them. Alive to the conditions that are prevailing at present the directors have decided upon a step that should go a great way toward making these races the most successful yet given. It is no less a thing than reducing the price of admission to 50 cents, placing it within the reach of all. TJiis is the only really big meeting at which these popular prices will prevail, and when it is considered that the races here will equal in sport and interest those of the biggest high priced meetings of the year, it is seemed that the attendance should be something phenomenal.

All the railroads entering Terre Haute have made half fare rates for this meeting, which will make it possible for all lovers of raciug to attend. If you want a prrcgamme and list of entries drop a postal card to W. H. DUNCAN, Secretary.
