The ship subsidy steal has been laid aside in the Senate until the army bill is finished. Mexico is suffering from a dearth of silver. The world’s yearly production of the white metal has sunk in value far below that of gold, principally owing to its demonetization. The Republicans are determined to present reasons to prove that all the war taxes cannot be repealed, even if they have to largely increase the expenses of the government to do it.

It turns <>a,t that the mutiny on a British warship near China was due to the fact that the men thought they hadn’t got their share of loot Titus the-torch of civilization lights up the dark places of the earth -and burns them up, too. . The Republicans are threatening to “reconstitute” the Supreme Court if it does not decide “right” in the colonial cases. This is a pretty state of things for a party that so condemned Mr. Bryan’s remarks on the same lines a few years ago.

It jarred the Republicans to learn that if they cut down Southern representation on account of the negroes, they would have to cut down northern representation on account of women, children, lunatics and foreigners. Most of them hadn’t thought of that.

The statements of Senator Sewell of New Jersey, a staunch republican, that the war in the Philippines was as bad as ever, that there were as many. Americans killed and wounded there each month as there are in many battles, and that thousands of men would probably be needed for years to come, ought to abash those who contended that the rebellion would fail as soon as Bryan was defeated.-

The sixty-second general assembly of Indiana convened Thursday: Samuel Artman of Lebanon, was chosen speaker of the house. In his message Governor Mount recommends that sheriffs be liable for lynchings; that voteselltrs as- well as vote-buyers should be punished; wants judicial circuits reorganized; asks for nonpartisan control of the state prison; urges anti-trust legislation; would punish kid-napers by death in extreme cases; insists on legislation against the insurance combine; wants noit-residents to take cut a license for hunting, and praise the county and township rcloini laws.

I), on reduced 31 cents on each H'H» r.f property valuation. This means a saving of $3.10 on every ; I .bOO of taxables in Jasper eotmly '. This saving affects republican a ; well as democratic taxpayers. Some of the former have at the behest of the spoilsmen done everything in their power to kill off THE Democrat during this i imo. Don’t you t hink, gentlemen. of watching out for fp-ital spot to plunge a knife into its vitals, you owe it a vote of thanks for the savings it has made you?

“Osteopathy” or “bone doctoring,” in the opinion of most intelligent people, should be placed in the sfeme category as “Christian Science.” When it comes to curing all the ills that flesh is heir to by either “treatment,” one is about as nonsensical as the other, If the legislature recognizes the Osteopathy fad, as statedit will be asked to do, it should also recognize the Christian Scientists.

'The appellate court Wednesday affirmed a judgment holding that the compensation of Henry Meer as treasurer of- Shelby county must be determined by the fee and salary law of 1891, as amended in 1893, and not by the act of 1879. He claimed an additional sum of $2,750. which would have been due him under the old act. He was elected in 1892 and the act did not become applicable to Shelby county until made so by the amendment passed the following spring. B. F. Louthain a prominent Logansport editor, relieved himself of the following as a farewell to the retiring century: “The nineteenth century is a thing of the past. He grew to be a hale, well matured old century. In His youth he enjoyed but few of the comforts and conveniences of life. His food was cooked in a Dutch oven and he had to light his pipe with a flint. He wrote his love letters with a goose quill and fastened his galluses with a thorn. Ah, little did he think that before he passed off the stage of action that he would be wearing golf suits, riding a bicycle and eating pie with a fork! When he was ushered into the world a hundred years ago the house wives leached there own lye and kept the flies away from the table with a peach sprout. There were no.. screens, no cook stoves, no carpet sweepers, no yeast cakes, no baking powder, no shoe buttons, no Chautauquas, no spring, mattresses, no, union suits, no rubber shoes, no cucumber spoons, no clothes wringers, no clothespins. Think of it! Our great-great-grandmothers a hundred years ago never enjoyed the luxury of hanging out clothes on wash day with a two-by-four sycamore clothespin between their inby lips. A century ago there were no railroads, no steamships no typewriters, no stem-winding watches, no paramount issue, no Mark Hanna! During the century the shirt waist has been discovered, the vermiform appendix has been hunted to its lair, threshing machines have come into use and the throw board has been invented. It has been a wonderful century. Good-by.”

Several New Suits Filed.

Quite a number of new suits have been tiled in the circuit court recently and among them we mention the following: Mrs. Elizabeth Schofield vs. John Schofield et al. Th its is a case brought for maintenance and she asks for SS(M) per year for herself and S3OO for the support of her two children. The parties were married, the complaint alleges, seventeen years ago and lived together until last May, when plaintiff was sent to the asylum, where she remained about two months and was discharged as cured. She alleges also that she was not insane when so declared; that since her discharge from the asylum her husband has refused to take her back to h’s home; that the property which she and her husband had ." •cumulated, amounting to about $7,000, has been deeded away to others, and she asks to have these deeds set aside. The parties resided at or near Brook at the time plaintiff was sent to the asylum, and she is now with relatives in White county while her husband is in Rensselaer. J. 1). Rich of Brook, and several others are made parties to the suit. Another case growing out of the Fanner cattle deals, or supposedly so, is that of Patrick Hnllagan vs. George W. Tanner and Simeon A. Dowell, where plaintiff seeks to recover on two notes given by 'Fanner and Dowell to plaintiff. One of the notes was given in November, 1899, and is for SBOO. The other one is for $275, and was given in March of last year. T. M. Hibler of Joliet, 111., has begun suit against his tenant, W. L. Criswell, of Milroy tp., on a landlord’s lien. Robt. Parker vs. James A. Tribby, et al, attachment. This is a Remington case, and the' defendants conducted a grocery store •hero in the old Hardy Bros, store room, buying the stock of plaintiff. Goods are now in hands of sheriff. Anna Lane et al vs. Morris \\ atson et al, suit for partition. Defendants are alleged to be nonresidents.

THE DYING CADET.

A youth, a would-be soldier, lay wounded at West Point, His chin was badly shattered, his nose was out of joint; His breath catne hard and jerky, at times bunched into sighs, And darksome was the color that hung about bis eyes, A kneeling comrade asked him what message he should take Unto bis distant kinsfolk, and thus the victim spake: "Go break it to them gently that when he died their Bob Was thinking of old Podunk, old Podunk on the Wab. ‘‘Tell them in tender manner I died a soldier’s death, The fumes of hot tobasco entangled with my breath, My nose clear off its bearing, my eyes as big as moons. My hair shampooed with mustard, my stomach stuffed with prunes. They fed me on hot olives served in cold axle grease, And when I made wry faces they hissed like hortid geese. And during the proceedings they laughed to hear me sob, And wish r.-.yself in Podunk, in Podunk on the Wab. They fed me plaster paris, I think almost a peck. Then made me drink hot water till full up to the neck. And my digestive organs, though always prompt and pat, Were not prepared to handle a contract such as that. And then, they said, to teach me to bear the ills of war, They forced between my pale lips a Christmastime cigar; Then well I knew the sequel—l’d jump my earthly job And find a grave at Podunk. at Podunk on the Wab. "I laughed at their approaches with scorn when they began To make of me an officer and army gentleman. I polished ub the rifles, swept out the stumps and quids And blacked the army brogana of Uncle Sammy's kids; But when I reached the hardships of war I had to squeal, My body was not armored with Carnegie's famed steel,' And, comrades, please express me, when my heart has ceased to throb, With military honors to Podunk, to Podunk on the Wab. —Denver Post.

HelpNature Babies and children need proper food, rarely ever medicine. If they do not thrive on their food something is. wrong. They need a little help to get their digestive J machinery working properly. StfgM* COD LIVER OIL WITH HYPOPHOSPHITES of UHE <S SODA will generally correct this difficulty. If you will put from onefourth to half a teaspoonful ; in baby’s bottle three or four times a day you will soon see a marked improvement. For j larger children, from half to j a teaspoonful, according to 1 age, dissolved in their milk, 1 if you so desire, will very I soon show its great nourish- j ing power. If the mother’s • milk does not nourish the baby, she needs the emulsion. It will show an effect at once both upon mother and child. yoc. and st.oo, all druggists. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemisti, New York.
