The Cuban postal scandal is growing apace. The Indiana republican administration heelers are evidently following the flag. "When thieves fall out, honest men get their dues. ” The gang is telling on one another in Cuba It is too bad that Bro. Marshall’s prosperity tire should receive so severe a puncture this early in the campaign. Much has been said about the Cuban banditti, but it turns out that the highway robbers are in the United States postal service. N. J. Bozarth of Valparaiso, has shied his castor into the ring as a democratic candidate for governor. Other avowed Candidates are John W, Kern and F. W. Burke. Kern leads. Wabash Times: The nomination of Col. Durbin, one of the organizers of the paper trust, for governor, is a bitter pill for those republican papers that have felt the effects of the trusts on their pocket-books.

If such' great and widespread frauds have been committed in Cuba, a country at peace and at our very doors, how great ones have been committed in the Philippines, a country at war and half a world away? Probably Mr. Rathbone now I wishes that he hadn’t charged the) government with his underwear. A small detail like this wouldn't; make any difference under imperialistic rule, of course, if it hadn’t I been that Neely was caught. But now the others who were guilty of any small peccadillos will have to take the consequences. It is tco bad that Otis should have left before this last Manila plot was discovered, or he could have again declared the rebellion crushed. By the way, isn’t it extraordinary that Filipino plots are always discovered? Never yet has there been a successful one, though at least one is nipped in the bud daily. Is it possible that as long as Uncle Bam ia willing to pay for finding plots, plots will be discovered?

Two weeks from to-day the democratic county convention will be held in this city. Delegates to that convention have already been selected. - A few words abouj, candidates will not be inappropriate at this time. Candidates for county offices should be selected solely because of their fitness for the office and their ability to make an active ajjd aggressive campaign. Hundreds of good men cannot achieve victory. Candidates with clean records, youthful enough to possess vigor, untiring, indefatigable workers, aggressive, in the fullest sense of that word—this class of nr6h, in The Democrat’s opinion, will be the winners. And furthermore, there has never been a time when the chances of a complete victory were so good as they are this year. The late city campaign is in point. The candidates of the democrats had overwhelming odds to overcome, yet they triumphed. The people wanted a change, and the democrats came very close to winning a complete victory and gaining complete control of the city government. The local republican situation is typical of the county situation except in lesser degree. Hundreds of the better element of the republicans stand ready to assist the democrats in overthrowing the ring that for so many years has dictated the management of public affairs in this county. Let the delegates to the county convention make no mistake in the selection of candidates. Nominate good, active men, men with clean records, whose personality alone gives promise of administering the various offices with economy and fidelity, and a complete victory for the people is assured in November.

Judge Horace P. Biddle, one of i the most prominent of Indiana’s ' older school of public men, died ' at his home on Biddle island, in ; Logansport, last Sunday, at the ripe old age of 89 years. Judge Biddle won great prominence as a lawyer, judge, politician and literateur. He practically retired from from public life twenty years ago, and had since spent the remainder of his days in the enjoyment of awell earned competency in his beautiful home in the middle of the Wabash river on what is known as Biddle’s island. The Hon. Benjamin F. Shively, in an interview telegraphed from South Bend to The Sentinel, announces that his name will not be before the democratic state convention for the gubernatorial nomination. Mr. Shively has decided not to make the race on the ground that he cannot afford the time and expense necessary to an active campaign. The announcement will be received with regret by thousands of democrats all over the state who recall his brilliant canvass of 1896 and were anxious to see him at the head of the ticket again.—lndianapolis Sentinel. When you hear Some one telling how the prosperity wave is sweeping over the people of Jasper county just remind him of the fact that from March 19, 1846, to Feb. 11, 1892, all the mortgages given in Jasper county required but 20 record books; while from Feb. 11, 1892, to date, 16 records have been used for the mortgages recorded in the county. Each record contains about 600 pages. During the past 8 years the county has gained but two or three thousand in population, and but $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 in taxable wealth, yet almost as many mortgages were given durthis period of 8 years as during the entire 46 years previous! Tell him that if mortgages are an evidence of thrift, then Jasper county is doubly blessed, and that 7 of these 16 records have been filled (luring the three years reign of Hanna, McKinley and prosperity. State Geologist Blatchley returned yesterday from a trip to Stnike county, where he wont last Monday for the purixise of exploring the marl de- | [xisits in the vicinity of Bass, I sometimes called Cedar Lake. He found a deposit of forty acres in the south part of the lake, but the quantity is uot sufficient to induce , anybody to erect a factory. He ’ explored the lake from one’end to I the other. Over one hundred isoudings were taken and the i greatest depth found was thirty j one feet. The greatest length I ia three miles and the greatest width less than one mile. Bass is the third I largest lake in Indiana. Many I Indianapolis people spend the

summer months there. Mr. Blatchley says the effort on the part of a number of farmers to lower the lake will be resisted by the prop-erty-owners whose summer homes are located near the water.—lndianiapolis Sentinel.

Our Disgrace.

Indianapolis Sentinel:. In view of recent developments in Cuba the following extract from Senator Beveridge’s imperialistic speech may prove of some interest: Her (Spain's) officialsasa class were corrupt, iadolent, cruel, immcrfal. They were selected to please a faction in Spain, to placate members of the cortes. to bribe those whom the government feared. They were seldom selected for their fitness. They were the spawn of government favor and government fear and therefore of government iniquity. ♦ ♦ • Let no one fear that our party workers will seek to fill these places without regard to fitness. The most humiliating and disgraceful episode of the present administration has come to light in the discovery that a great party in America can cope with Spain in a contest for “corrupt, indolent, cruel and immoral officials;” that we, too, can select scoundrels to “please a faction” and “placate” members of the senate. In the eyes of the world we stand convicted of crime, the mostThfamous, because practiced upon a dependent and helpless people. Senator Hanna scoffing at the dastardly conspiracy is one of the few- instances or a party leader daring to assume indifference toward a national disgrace. Already we are becoming synonymous with hypocrisy among the nations, and the keenest cut of all comes from the Cubans, who smile at mention of American honor. No, Mr. Beveridge; the republican fever of self-aggrandizement which has struck down all our traditions in the name of trade, the integrity of the ballot in the interest of party success, and the civil service in the interest of spoilsmen, will necessarily make an attempt upon the honor of a nation. The party that will subjugate territory and destroy liberty cannot be trusted with public money. This Cuban episode is but a logical outgrowth of the sordid imperialistic program. A nation is but an aggregation of men. And if a nation can steal, deceive and indulge its lust for gold in “criminal aggression,” why should a citizen be held culpable? Next fall the people will have an opportunity to regain their stolen honor by rebuking this administration of crime and corruption. In the meantime let us hope that foreign nations will Walk backward with averted gaze And bide the shame.
