If f f 9 9 3 Beware of the men who are always rylng to defend the scoundrels who re fattening on public plunder. A bee inspection will generally reveal le tact that they are sharing in the »oty.—Hebron News. I fc I & i & Xt the Barnacle would use a rfter grade of paper, the $1.25 ollected from the county treasury on subscription, perhaps, fight not be wholly wasted. If the printing of but two aunty legal notices show an overaarge of nearly SSO, what amount f overcharge would be revealed all were looked up for a period tseveral years? The contested election case of [order vs Williams for the office f treasurer of Pulaski county, was eeided by Special Judge Lairy f Logansport, in favor of Wilpms, the democratic candidate. The Journal’s “poet” signs himiif "Nullius Filius.” This phrase [ the latin for “bastard.” While great many people did not know lat this latin business meant, IpMitard” they did know this boet” was a d fool, his foetrv” proving that fact conlusively. I.Tbe Democrat erroneously staid last week that the county commissioners would meet in regular lesion “next Monday,” when it lould have read “one week from jsxt Monday,” being June 6. The |wlaw now requires the board of pmmissioners to meet regularly I the first Monday of each ionth. At the close of the memorial I Ifrices at the Harvard-street tftptißt church, Boston, Col. John jammers, a member of the Chel|f G. A. R. post, severely entiled the wearing of a Confederate adge by President McKinley and le action of E. W. Kinsley Post, A. R., in asking General ITheeler to deliver a memorial Day pdress. [“A firm adherence to correct, rinciples,” reads ithe Barnacle’s [otto. “A firm adherence to unilling ‘subscribers’ and an inflate desire to collect campaign fnds,” would read more in harpny with truth. By the way, if as sheet is to disgrace the reader’s office any longer, the lunty council will have to approbate the $1.25 for that purpose, tel it is scarcely necessary to say at that body will refuse to do so. Lin investigation pf the overIRrgeon printing county legals HTaaper county for the past Slaty yearsVouhl no doubt read a state of affairs without a Mallei in the whole state and llch would fully explain why an position newspaper in RensseRis not wanted by G. E. MarK. The investigation, how|r, ought to be made, and efforts jpe to have the amount whatever to the county treasleaking of Congressman LanBROUtburst against trusts, the Romo Dispatch gives him this Kfrk Landis had an opportuniIto go on record in favor ‘of coupling’ these ‘vast moneyed in■fets’ when the Dingley bill was Hie the last congress. He will Bbtless remember tin* Dockery Hichnent. which provided that pibanufactured articles which Hit thereafter liecome the subWp of monopoly bv trusts or ■pines should be placed on the I‘Kiist by order of the secretary IHp treasury. Upon this amend- » Mr. Landis, with every Mm republican in congress, voted f negative. It will profit Mr. ■pa little to grow great in Eb at this time. Both he and ■party have proved too deficient

WASHINGTON LETTER.

There is something decidedly suspicious in the news from the Philippines. Notaline of press news can be cabled from Manila until it has been approved fay the U. 8. Military Censor, and it ia not likely that he would approve anything the administration did not wish public. Hence, the publication of the statement that it wonid be impossible for Gen. Otis to conquer even the entire island of Luzon, not to mention the remainder of the group, so that it wonid stay conquered, without a large increase in his army, was allowed to pass the Censor for a purpose. Not being in the confidence of the administration, — few persons, even among the most prominent republicans, are—it cannot be positively stated what that purpose is, but the inference is that it is intended to pave the way for one of two things; a call for volunteers to re-inforce Otis, or to make the people of this country satisfied with some dicker that is abont to be made with the Filipinos, and which they would naturally be inclined to be dissatisfied with. The prepondeiance of opinion in Washington is that it means more volunteers. Orders have been sent to the civilian members of the Philippine Commission that they must do nothing to interfere with the military plans of Gen. Otis, which is confirmation of the reported wrangles in the Commission. # * * After holding it back for many months, Mr. McKinley has issued his much advertised order modifying the civil serviee rules. It doesn’t appear to please anybody overmuch. It excepts a total of somewhere in the neighborhood of four thousand places from the operation of the civil service rule, but as most of those places are already filled by republicans, it will make comparatively little new patronage for the republican leaders. It doesn’t touch the Government printing office, which so many republicans have been trying so hard to get thrown open to them. So far as the party workers are concerned, the order is likely to do more harm than good to the republican party. * * * Representative Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, who stands about as much show as Payne, the New York, anti-Platt candidate, dropped into Washington a day or two ago and announced that he was a candidate for Speaker. He oonld not control three votes in the Pennsylvania delegation, coanting his own, to save his neck, Bingham is the dummy candidate of the Pennsplvania delegation, and will remain such until Quay decides who shall get these votes.

* * * No surprise was caused in Washington by Senator Platt’s flat-foot-ed declaration that McKinley and Hobart would be renominated. So far as McKinley is concerned, Platt has been mortgaged since early in the present administration; his endorsement of Hobart means that if he ever had any idea of helping to get Roosevelt second place on the ticket, it has been abandoned, but whether because he wasn’t pleased with Roosevelt or whether the latter wasn’tpleased with the idea of second place, is a matter of conjecture, but the former is more likely to be true. The declaration of Senator Penrose, who is Bees Quay’s man and mouth-piece, in favor of McKinley’s renomination is nothing more than a bid for administration help for Quay in his contest to get his seat in the senate. This was doubtless ideasing to Mr. McKinley, whether he means to help Quay or not, as he found Quay decidedly “uppish” towards the administration while he was in the Senate. * * * The administration was very particular to have the widest circulation given to the report of the Beef Court of Inquiry, but it has now discovered that all of the $200,000 set aside to pay for the Inquiry has been used up, and has ordered work stopped on the printing of the testimony, upon which that report was supposed to be based, after it had all been in type. It has all along been contended by many that the administration never intended to make the testimony public, and this action makes it look as though that contention was correct. ’■ * * Secretary Alger has been putting his foot in it again. Several days ago, he caused an order to be issued by the War Department, instructing the Military authorities in Cuba to give clearauces to Cuban vessels under the Cuban flag, and at the same time stating that the vessels flying the Cuban flag would not be under the American protection. As there is no Cuban government, there can be no recognized Cuban flag; hence the order

Alger’s speciality appenim to be doing the wrong thing. • * a The Dewey Home fund isn’t growing as fast as it might. It did not reach a total of $5,000 until Monday. Unless it gets a move on, it will not be big enough to buys Washington House by the time Dewey gets home.

The above notice, published in the Apologist, shows practically the same amount of “padding”" as that reproduced in our columns last week, and occupies exactly the same space, bat the conscience of the editor was evidently not quite so elastic on making his charge in this case, as the “charge” made for publication was $2.00 less than the former notice. Even this shows an overcharge of $2.00. The above notice, through some error, was given two publications of three weeks each, and each notice shows the same overcharge on the part of the Apologist The same identical notice as it appears without “padding” to the right proves that the saying, “There are tricks in all trades but ours,” does not apply to the printing business as conducted by some men who attempt to pose as great lights of honor and morality in the community in which they reside. etcT during the next few weeks, A mem lepT wiU mat. and we would re»pectfuuy ikthereudertopoude* qvenfceffimAo—espwmirtcd.
