Indiana as matter of the second class. Friday Ai'hil 8 1898. Representative Steele of the Eleventh district says: "I am inclined to stand by the Administration and have perfect confidence in the executive. The President is a good American and will jealously guard the honor of his country. But I think the pec pie can not be held off too long and we will have speedy action." kL do wot favor intervention if the suffering in Cuba can be relieved in any other w:iy,v said Representative Johnson of the Sixth district, "as it may bring war and I alo not want war except as a last sad extremity. Congress should give the Maine question the same thoughtful consideration that the executive has given it, and the great need of the hour is good judgment on the part of COM grew Tiie Republicans claim that every saloon keeper of Plymouth is supporting the Republican candidate for Mayor. If Plymouth was Chicago, no doubt such a support would be consequential. The Independent is of the conviction, that the substantial citizens of Plymouth are in the majority and will vole on the mayoralty matter regardless of party affiliations. There are many good citiens wh.: occasionally patronize salooiia and who would take no undue advantage of any mam engaged in that business, but these very men can not conscientiously throw their suffrages to the support of a man who comes before the people as a saloon mans candidate, and that, the qualification depended upon for success. There are property interests which thoughtful citizens should and will consider. Blind party affiliation in a local matter, when so much is at stake, seems ridiculous in the extreme. Voters, think carefully on this matter and then act upon good judgment. Gen. Gome, the able leader of the Cuban forces, says definitely tha the insurgents are ready to treat for independence on the basis of an indemnity to Spain. Almost invariably the loser in a case of war is compelled to pay an indemnity. In this case the los,er has a chance to receive one. The acceptance of these terms is infinitely the beat course for Spain to adopt and its rational adv isors will press th.s view. No nation will consider de Spanish honor tarnished by granting indepeadence on these conditions to a colony that will win its freedom in any event. As the St. Louis Globe-Democrat puts it, there is still a i hance for Spain to preserve peace without the slightest damage to .. proper pride. Secretarj of the Treasury Gage in his speech before the Cleveland Oha, Chamber of Commerce dwelled especially upon the fact of the good credit of the United States at home ami in Kurope as is evident being the case' Secretary (iage might have gone a little further and explained the y;reat need aad excellence of a treasury note or greenback circu lation,with no interest, and good for every debt and demand. But Secretary (jage did nothing of the kind. Prom a banker's s andpoint, notking but an interest-bear iog government obligation is to be thought of. The people have no interests which bankers are bound to respect. National Intelligencer. The Spaniards have not fought a battle wot thy the name in Cuha. All they have accomplished was by way of starving tie people. Spain could not aspect to cany on that kind of war-fare against the United States with any degree of success.

The Roal-wearing anxiety that Mark Ilanna and Steve Elkiafi are just now displaying lest the national honor be tarnished by a war with Spain, with all its dhe consequences in the destruction of Spanish-Cuban bond values and the Standard Oil trade with the sons of Castile, is one of the brightest picture of disinterested patriotism the present situation affords. These men who struggled so heroically against the assailants of national honor in 1 896 will not relinquish the battle now that another crisis has arisen.

The Indianapolis Sun indulge! h in sarcasm as follows. Ex Ministei Phelps says that the United States can collect no indemnity for the Maine disaster unless contributor) negligence on the part f Spain if proved. The general opinion is that Spain was negligent in no respect. All that could have been done t destroy the Maine was thoroughly done, and the Spaniards who did it can't be accused of overlooking the least necessary detail. No, there v .1onel lence From April 10 to April 80 the annual enumeration of minors of the sehi age is to be taken in this state. In Ind iana there are about 12,(M u schools, with 700,000 children of the school age. On the enumeration made each year de pends the r.er capita distribution )f the school funds. Uesides the state funds availiable lor this purpose, there is the congressional fund, which is distrlou by congressional districts, so that the enumeration has to be classified not only by county and school districts, but also by congressional districts. Dwight L. Moody recently said to a reporter: "War 01 no war. it is a blot on the name of America, a deep disgrace to the American flag, if we do not feed the suffering Cubans and put them once more on their feet. It is our duty as men anil brothers and should he done regardless of any other issues, Spain or no Spain, peace or war." Congressman Bailey introduced a resolution in congress Wednesday4 providing for the recognition of Cuha. He was backed by the I)t mocratic members and some Republicans, but Speaker Reed, blocked the measure and was sustained by the Majority. Public sentiment will not ssutain the Administration in its cowardly policy. Judge A. C. Capron of Plymouth is credited with having given it as his opinion that there will be no war with Spain. But should ivar be the outcome of the present controversy, he thinks ia would take Uncle Sam just ten minutes to whip Sprin, We fear the Judge is too sanguine. Let's call it 30, 60, or 90 days. South Bend Times. One of the most significant indications in connection with the war ilurry is the fact that stocks ruled higher and srronger in Wall street yesterday than for eome days, and that there was also a sharp advance of Spanish securities in Loudon. The people who own th:.-e bonds come pretty neaely knowing from day to day who they are and just what is going on up and down the earth Tnev do not seem to consider war at all probable. Sallie Jane Smith spent one tei m in an Eastern seminary and returned to Kansas as S. Jeannye Smythe. Vet Kansas continues to claim that the East is not doing anything for fcier . The man who starts a news aper in a community where it is not needed makes about the same kind of excuses as the man who runs for office when he is not wanted. The Lake Shore road is now engaged In its lug wheat-hauling eontract, that of transforming the Leiter grain from Chicago to the sea board. It requires a great number of cars to fill this mammoth contract.

HE GIVES PLAIN TALK TO PLYMOUTH VOTERS. UUrnl Parfy Adherence Criticized-Select a lnyor W:- MW liusipess MMfl m. nt Will be a Protection tfitltcr Than an aiiailBl Baamr. The city election is near at hand and it will devolve upon the voters to select men to administer local affairs . Whether the best interests of the city and of the property owners are pr. -served depends upon the conscientious Oese of the voters. If they are blind partisans) accepting as gospel the will of a half dozen machine men. they will ignore the qualification! of ail candidates; they will disregard every business qualification; they will Ignore a moral prii ciple if one is involved and all for what? All f r the purpose of acquiring a party victory, Public Interests are sacriliced for a parly acluvemeiit. But, on the contrary, if the vttrs disregard party alliliations in a local contest, they are in a position to allow good judgment to pass upon the aspirants, i'lyiuouth present, an opportunity for a test as to the moral as well as the business sense of its eitizt'iisnip In toil spring election. Two men, representing two political parties, are candidates for the office of mayor. Mr. i O. Jones, an old citizen, a respected citizen, an equitable Citizen, a Citizen with property interests, a c:!isen upon whose shoaldera have at crious times rested responsibilities and pontic dut?es. a citizen who has as an official discharged tua duties faitbfulij and in due justice t: ail. Such a man is i'. o. Jones, The republican candidate for Inis office is a genial, sociable and companion able man. As a "good fellow'" all will agree that he is par value. Bat then it must be borne in mind that there are very maiij genial and sociable "good fetionrs" who would make poor mayors. The worst spendthrifts are always classed as number one "good fellows." Why net? Their own treasure is always open ta their friends. This is good for the friends but in the end is severe on the spendthrift. If he had fortune, it disappears. He hat been so liberal that all sympathize and condone his misfortune, but is there a single business man who would invite him to manage even the simplest of private concerns. Not one. 1 do not say that such a man is a candidate for mayor, but I do know that Farmer Krnjerovei bia Signatare in tne eol nmneofthe Democrat made such an exposition of the present republican mayoralty candidate's financial capa bilityas to warrant the belief that busi ness ability is lacking in the republican candidate. This statement of the "Fanner stems to be shared alike by republicans and democrats of the city. Therefore, if there is no business man who has sufficient confidence to invite such a man as manager of a small private concern, how much more ought all good reasoning men contend agaiut his ejection as business manager of a city like ours. Ir is high time that property holders look to their interests regardless of party affiliation. The old Man About Town. IStol An 0rat. John Binkley, a young nan from Walnut, was arrested by Marshall Meyers late Saturday afternoon charged With stealittg an overcoat Iron a young man in Argos.

The furniture was of course bold and when the young man called he was told what had occurred. Simulating great wrath, he said: "(iive me that check. I'll take it over to the hank and cash it for you."
