The secretary of agriculture reports that 205,000 acres of wheat sown in Indiana last fall have been abandoned and that the present condition of the wheat crop in Indiana is the worst with the exception of the years 1899, 1893 and 1888, since 1885. Goodland Herald: Jasper county political tine workers are treating the judicial convention discussion with the snme cold, calm indifference showered upon this town by lventlaud county seat workers. Let us hope that this deadly stillness does not preclude a mighty cyclonic intelleciual outpouring later on. Dan W. Simms, chairman of the Tenth congressional district, said to an Indianapolis Sentinel reporter a few days ago: “Our district has the biggest republican majority of any district in the State, 1 believe, boing about 6,000, but I never snw the democrats taking a deeper interest there than they are now. We are going to Lave our congressional convention on May 31st, at Monticello, and it promises to be a ‘rouser.’ The general opinion seems to be that Cajptain Guthrie of Monticello, will be the nominee for congress.”

APOLOGY DUE SPAIN.

New York World: Secretary Root’s answer to the Senate, assuming for the Administration full responsiblity for the policy of retaliation and reconcentration pursued by our Generals in the Philippines, suggests the justice and propriety of an apology by our Government to Spain. In the preamble to our declaration of war against Spain it was recited that “the abhorrent conditions which have existed for more than three years in the island of Cuba have shocked the moral sense of the people of the United States and have been a disgrace to Christian civilization.” What were those “abhorrent conditions?” They were those of an unsuccessful war of subjugation which had degenerated into guerrillaism on the part “of the Cubans and into a policy of reconcentration,” the shooting of hostile natives indiscriminately and other features of a war of “surrender or die” on the part of the Spaniards. The press and pulpit of this country were justifiably clamorous in denunciation of Spanish cruelty and oppression. The halls of Congress rang with the echoes of popular indignation, which—seizing upon the Maine incident as a sufficient reason—drove a reluctant Administration into acquiesenee in the demand that Spain “at once relinquish its authority and government in the island of Cuba.” Wherein have “the conditions which have existed for more than three years” in the the Philippine Islands been less “abhorrent” than those which the United States rightly and unselfishly ended in Cuba? We are seeking to subdue the Filipinos as Spain sought to subdue the Cubilns. Our war has been quite as relentless and much more destructive than that waged by Spain. Our reconcentrado camps have been better supplied with food because we have more money and greater supplies than Spain had. But Secretary Root’s justification of the necessity of those camps as a military measure does not differ from Weyler’s or Blanco’s. Weyler shot some prisoners, but he did not kill them by slow tortures, as the evidence proved that Major Waller killed some of the Filipinos. The infliction of the water-cure torture was never charged against the Spaniards in Cuba, and no Spanish General ever issued (or in recent years executed) an order so shockingly inhuman as that of General Smith in Samar, to “kill and burn,” to “shoot all over ten,” and to make the province a “ho.vling wilderness.” Secretary Rcot disavows all knowledge of this infamous order, but he does say: “It has not been deemed wise or piacticable to ii tirfere foil Washington with the conduct of military operations on the other side of the world under conditions and exigencies which the competent and faithful officers commanding the Division of the Philippines necessarily understand far better than is possible for the War Department.” In other words, under a general 1 cense to retaliate men like “HellRoaring Jake” have been permitted to wage a war of retaliation, cruelty and extermination in order to “bring the rebels to terms.” If, as Secretary Root argues, our style of campaigning in the East is legitimate and necessary, an apology is certainly due from the United States to the Govern- 1 meut of Spain.

THE FOX AND THE GEESE.

The Geese constituted a commission lo investigate the Fox, and the Fox came and testified before it “I am founded on misconception and promoted along lines of self-destruction,” said he. “How silly of us to havtwbeen afraid!” exclaimed the Gee!W So they called off all legislation proposed in regulation of the Fox, and in their ensuing political platforms omitted all mention of him. This fable tenches that a general foxiness is scarcely less important to the trust business than is deft financing.—Life.

NEW ELECTRIC RAILROAD. George F. Marvin of Monticello, accompanied by another White county gentleman, was here Tuesday on business connected with a project that ought to, and it is to be hoped will, get beyond mere talk. Another railroad—but on the surface it looks to be even more feasible than any of the other plans that have been put forward, The line now proposed is to bo an electric one, and is to follow the Tippecanoe river very closely between here and Lafayette. The gentlemen here Monday were in conference with thecounty commissioners concerning a franchise granting the privilege of using the public highways to construct the road. The board after hearing their intentions and proposition—using one side of the less traveled highways, bnilding their own bridges, doing their own grading and asking no subsidies—took the matter under advisement until the next meeting. The proposed route extends from Lafayette through Battleground, Brookston, Chalmers, Montieello, Buffalo and Pulaski to Winamac, and perhaps later to Bass or Maxinkuckee lake. The promoters also stated that capital is now ready, that it is desired to begin work yet this season, and to start at this end. It may be wind, like a dozen or so previous ones, but here’s hoping not. —Pulaski County Democrat. A Lesson In Health.
