Our republican frieiuls u g, “the war is over,” yet tlio war | taxes arc still doing business right j along. It is to be hoped that Mark does not neglect to take his full dinner pail along when he starts off on his das’s work ns an orator. Tne paramount issne cannot be dodged by saying that it does not exist. It must be met and if it can be disproved, no one will be more glad than sincere and patriotic. Democrats. Mrs. Lease has flopped, The terms of her conversion are u close secret between herself and Mark Hanna. It is said, however, that she has recently paid off the mortgage on her farm.

All Americans will regret the the useless slaughter of 52 brave American Soldiers in the Philippines, but they should even more regret the policy of deceit that conceals the facts of the situation there from the country.

And so no one appeared in the Nelson Morris injunction case,eh? Perhaps that Keener tp., rumor is not altogether unfounded after all. The supreme and appellate courts re-convened Tuesday. Perhaps they will get around to that old, moss-covered Fleener & Carnahan tax ferret injunction case at this term if not interfered with The federal officials seem to have taken the tip for staving off disagreeable lawsuits until after election from Jasper county officials. Like Jasper’s numerous cases in court, we hear nothing from the ease against Embezzler Neely now. The Secretary of the National Class Company—the glass trust—lias admitted to the Industrial Commission that the trust is selling flint glass abroad for, 15 per cent, less than at home, despite the cost of transportation. It is pleasant news that the American consumer pays to supply the foreigner with his glass cheap. The fact has come to light that Mr. Hanna recently assessed the national banks of Baltimore for SBO,OOO on the ground that they were depositories of government funds and should make some return. One bank stood out against the demand and, it is said, the government funds on deposit there will now be at once “required for use” by immaculate Secretary Gage.

The bondsmen of J. Marsh Wilson, former treasure of Shelby county, who is now serving sentence in the Michigan City penitentiary for filing false claims against that county, have employed J. F. Reed of Greenfield, and James Wills of Shelbyville, to investigate the work of the experts. If no change is found in the experts’ report of $45,735, the bondsinen will settle without litigation.

We came across three good mechanics this morning walking along Main stieet, and when asked what they were doing, one replied: “We are taking our summer, fall and winter vacation; it is impossible for us to get work, and our dinner pails have been empty for mouths.” The Bulletin loves the Republican party, but when the speakers and papers talk about prosperity in Evansville, they lie, and Republicans, we fear, will rebuke the untruth at the polls.— Evansville Bulletin, (Rep.)

Few people seem to know that the national bank notes are not legal tender. They cannot be used for the payment of debts unless the creditor chooses to take them. More than $60,000,000 of this kind of money have been issued under the bill passed last winter and there is more coming. To issue such money is a great mistake, as time will tell. All money authorized by a government should be legal tender, and if it is not the people are not trented fairly. Fowler Leader. (Rep.)

At the close of Cleveland’s administration in 1896 the entire cost of the government was $4.94 per capita. The cost in 1899 was 87.97 per capita, which means S4B per year to a man with a wife and five children. It must be remembered that national taxation is not based upon property, but upon what we oat, wear and drink. In 1900 the cost per captia was $9.01. The estimates for 1901 make the cost $9.59 per captia, or nearly double the cost under Cleveland. So long as the Hazin'’ __ McKinley imperial policy tinued, just so lcy;~ wHI - the Cos J pf the {fovorument increase.

\V L e(lltor o{ the Ohio _' ttrmer( ft nd four years ago an ardent supporter of Wm, McKinley, says that the hope of young men is in the success of the cause of the democrats. The Philadelphia Times, one of the leading pkpers in Pennsylvania, which also supported Mr. McKinley in 18%, is now in the Bryan column. It says that “imperialism and militarism are the natural out-

growth of commercialism in politics, of the power of the few over the many and the elevation of money over manhood. The upI holders of this system are them- ' selves aware of its hollowness and are calling for aid from the money : power to bolster it up for a time longer. The condition is one that i the country must meet, and meet now. and the way to meet it is by a reassertion of the democratic idea and the election of a democratic i president/’

The administration shouters never lose an opportunity to make the people believe that they are prosperous beyond all precedence, and the republican press of Indiana has had a great deal to say about the future of the school fund of the state, the law requiring it to be loaned at 6 per cent. The great prosperity throughout the state and the fact that money can be had on all sides at 4 and 5 per cent., say these shouters, will cause the school fund to go ’ ~ ging for borrowers. \ r , . the Official Apob , ’l* lisbed this r-* »?> school * , "** on v does the «0t go begging at 6 but there is no 4 and 5 per bent, money to be had. What its proprietors-allege is the oldest and safest banking institution in jasper county, the Bank of A. McCoy & Co., of this city, is still paying 0 per cent, interest on

time deposits and has been doing it right along, and even as high as 7 per cent.) we are told, is being paid in some cases. No greater rate has been paid for years, we understand, not even under what its president is pleased to term the hard times of the' Cleveland administration than this. In fact the rate paid under Cleveland was, principally 6 per cent, we are informed. This gives the lie to the statements that prosperity and an over-abundance of money nas resulted from McKinley’s reign. We know our statement above to be a fact, for we have seen several certificates 61 deposit issued by this bank 'bearing 6 per cent, in- ; teres’t. The next time yon hear ! McCoy yelling about McKinley | prosperity, just put this at him. !It will probably give him an attack of cholera morbus, but it’s a : fact just the same.
