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?
