The Boers are still piling up victories over the haughty Britons. » What would happen if 40,000, 000 Boers should declare war against a quarter of a million Englishmen? One of the Washington papers has denounced Senator Hoar as the vermiform appendix of the administration. This is pretty low down in the human anatomy. Ex-Warden J ames Murdock of Lafayette, Mayor Riley of Hammond, and Hon. Morgan H. Weir of Laporte, are mentiondd as aspirants for the democratic nomination for congress in this district.

The $15,000,000 we may have to pay to Europeans for our premature bombardment of Iloilo, makes the price of the islands mount up. As Speaker Reed would put it, the Filipinos will now have cost $3.50 a head.

The actions of the Republican governor of Kentucky in summoning armed < men to Frankfort, are rapidly convincing the country that Mr. Goebel was not so very far out when he denounced Republican corruption and intimidation at the election.

The paper trust is the most inexcusable in the whole country, for it lays a tax on intelligence. Almost any means are justifiable in fighting it, and the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court against its stockholders, will cause widespread rejoicing.

The state of Massachusetts has been fighting the gypsy moth for years without exterminating it. Now there are people who assert that the danger has been overrated and that bugs will continue to be found as long as there is pay for finding them.

The Shelby county grand jury has indicted two commissioners, and they will be placed on trial Feburary 2. It is evident that at last a public sentiment has been created in Shelby county strong enough to cope with the political machine.—lndianapolis Press.

By its action on the Roberts case, the Republican House of Representatives has gone a long way towards establishing a reputation for recklessness and deliberate disregard of the rights of others. And this despite the fact that it was just as easy to exclftHe Mr. Roberts by constitutional means.

There was no more wholesome legislation enacted by the last session of the General Assembly than is the county and township reform law. It has been the means of saving much money to the people, and in Henry county the people are going to give it a vote of indorsement at the forthcoming election. Middletown News.

The Noblesville Ledger calls attention to the increased importance of township officers, under the new law; the enlarged duties and responsibilities of superintendents of free gravel roads, of road supervisors. The assessor’s office also affects the interests of all taxpayers and demands good judgment as well as honesty. The Ledger advises the holding separate primaries for the nomination of township candidates, so that interest in their selection may not be secondary to the county ticket. The Secretary of the Treasury has the impu ience to request Congress to appropriate over 1100,000 to pay the rent of the New York custom house. Mr. Gage is undoubtedly a brave man, but it cannot be said that he is a wise one. Either he should have told the truth about the rent without evasion, when he sent his famous explanation to Congress, or else he should have let the rent go. As matters stand, he has convicted himself of a pitiful subterfuge. If any man must tell a falsehood, he should at least stick to it.

Fruit-jar manufacturers met at Indianapolis this week and decided to boost prices. i The republican congressional convention will be held in this city, March 19, we understand. Crumpacker will be re-nominated without opposition.

It’s a pity that Mac hasn’t but one cuckoo Senator to aid him. Mason, Hoar, Wolcott, Wellington, and, most unkindest out of all, Hale, are digging into him, while Hanna alone remains faithful but speechless.

It is estimated that the ship subsidy bill will grant altogether $18,000,000 to a single line of steamers for ships that are already built. It would be cheaper for the United States to build new ships and to give them away as premiums with every deposit of the national funds.

Captain Carter must go to jail for stealing $2,000,000 from the government. But the administration staved off action on his case for nearly two years, and almost exhausted the time in which proceedings could be begun against his accomplices. The statute of limitations in such case will prevail in three or four months now and yet no action to bring these to justice has been begun.

Dispatches from Paris and Berlin tell of the reception of Dr. Leyds by the French and German ministers, and of his presence at state dinners given by Presidet Loubet and Emperor William. He has also been officially received by Russia, Holland, Belgium, and Portugal. Yet the U. S. State Department asserts that no Boer diplomat will be received here, because the Transvaal is not independent and is not qualified to send ministers abroad.

The attempted assassination of Senator Goebel of Kentucky, and the action of Taylor, the acting republican governor, in substituting military for civil rule to overawe the legislature which was proceeding strictly according to law, will be unniversally condemned by all sober-minded people. No such damnable crime and usurpation of power was ever before witnessed in this country. No matter what truth there may be in the republican claims, the legislature, which is conceded to have been fairly elected and which is the highest tribunal in the state to determine such matters, has declared Goebel entitled lo the governor’s seat, and no power on earth can legally go behind this decision. If the legislature erred it is one of the cases where there is no legal redress. Their decision is final.

“Significant in these sore days of trial for English mothers and fathers is the fact that in the final parades of troops before they are sent to Africa to battle for their Queen, the American flag as well as the British is frequently seen stuck in the rifles. The American flag is used in decorations everywhere throughout the United Kingdom. It means a unity of sentiment that dominates people of the same race. Blood will tell, and a good, clean victory by the undaunted Buller, and the relief of the tenacious White and his men would cheer America as well as Britain. Not that we wish the Boers slain, but that the cause of Britain is just; her sword in this war at least is clean, and so much of the progress of the race—yes, and the world at large—depends upon her success.” The above is an editorial which appeared in last week’s issue of the Western Christian Advocate, a Methodist publication published at Cincinnati, Ohio. Just what grounds the religious editor of the Christian Advocate has for making such assertions we are unable to see. So far as our observation goes and so far as we can gather from an exhaustive reading of the worldly newspapers, it appears that ninety-nine per cent, of the American people sympathize with the hardy Boers in their struggle for independence in the Transvaal. The few “Americans” who are in hearty sympathy with bloody Britian are those composing the present national administration and a few of . its lick-spittles and misled religious editors—not the millions of genuine liberty-loving Americans who compose this ]?reat republic. Meetings to express sympathy for the Boers and raise money to aid them in their struggle are being held daily all over this broad land, and reports of British defeat are received with satisfaction on all sides. The people of America do not regard Britian’s cause as “just” nor her sword “clean” in this cause, the Western Christian Advocate to the contrary notwithstanding.
