Uncle Sam has been tendered twenty elephants by a circus company to be used in case of war. It is hoped they are not white ones. Tour Uncle Sam has enough of that color now. It is predicted by veterans that the American attack in Cuba will be sort of a Grecian-Turko affair, or something like the Franco-Prussian war in '71 all one sided and of short duration. Of course it is an Ohio man who wants the government to build warships after this out of rubber. They would, he believes, he able to "erase" the natives of the world from the se.is. Charlie Landis gets the following paragraph in the reports of that rough hou se which was created in congress last Tuesday: Landis sniffed the battle from afar, and with an expression of rage on his boyish face darted past the speakers chair to throw himself into the fray." And there the account terminates. Peter Wallrath makes this timely and wise observation in his paper, the Loganaport Sternen-Banner : "Nationality and religion should never be dragged into politics, as it will always produce disagreeable consequences. In politics, we are all American citizens, with equal duties. Beside, we wish to live in peace with one another, and shoe Id respect the liberty of every brother citizen,,, "Remember the Maine!" that is the cry of the hour, the Albany Times-Union says. There is no use in trying to side track this issue in our present dispute with Spain. 'The destruction of the Maine is the foundation of our heaviest claim against Spain. The sinking of our
gallant vessel and the murder of our brave boys are insults to our nag which cannot be overlooked. Spain must make atonement, and the sooner she reconizes this fact the better for herself the cause of peace. General Lee says that he be'ieves the Maine was blown up by Spanish officials, and from the lips would come no such assertions at this critical juncture without gocd and sufficient reason."
However deplorable war may seem, an intelligent commentator says, it should be remembered that only through war have things which men hold dear on earth been preserved art! protected. By war alone have long continued wrongs been righted, liberty attained and preserved, and the men raised from the degradation of brutes that perish. War is a fearful alternative. The world is coming more and more to acknowledge this fact. There has been times when it became an absolute necessity and one of those times has come back again. A war with Spain now will put an end to a wasting conflict, and terminate a struggle in which there have been killed by disease, starvation, sword and bullet, over 200,000 helpless people. Unless Charles Crandall belongs to the crop of spring liars, there is now no doubt that the Maine was exploded by the direct arders of Spanish officials. It is too bad that the United States saw fit to adopt such a diliatory policy in the punish ment of this diabolical cri ne. Devils should be burnt in their own fire. For such an outrage, the crime of the nineteenth century without a doubt, justice should have been swift and inexorable. A great many people in the United States, are getting sorrier every day that three or four gunboats were not ordered to Havana the instant the news was received with orders to shell the town, unless reparations were made in one day. International law is not codified, and from its nature cannot be. There is no specific penalty for any violation of it, A long and dreary course of arbitration must ensue before justice can be had, and by thaf time the moral effect of the punishment is lost. War and Presidential Power. Chicago Post: The constitution confers the authority to "declare war" upon the congress of the United States, and a great deal of confusion and uncertainty appears to exist in the public mind in relation to the precise meaning of this grant. Is action by the President required as well as action by congress? Could the President veto a bill or order containing a direct declaration of war? Many intelligent men will unhesitatingly answer these and similar quiries in the negative. There is a wide spread notion that congress possesses the sole and exclusive power to declare war, and that the Piesident has nothing to do with a declaration of this character . The President has the power to veto a declaration of war, and it can only take the effect in spite of his veto if repassed by a two-thirds vote. The application f these principles to the existing situation need not be dwelt upon, since no disagreement is probable or expected. It is however, important for congress and the people to understand clearly the extent of the war power vested in congress First Regiment OfHrer. A dispatch from Indianapolis says Gov. Mount announces that the 1st regiment of Indiana volunteers, to be made up from the national guaid of tbe stite, will be oflicered as follows: Colonel, Will J. McKee of Indianapolis; lieutenant colonel, Ceorge W. (iunder of Marion; majors -(ieorge II. Pennington of New Albany, (ieorge M. Studebaker of South Bend and Harry B. Smith of Indianapolis, surgeon, E. L. Stiver of Ft. Wayne; chaplain, the Hev. A. CarstenseD, rector of St. Paul's church Indianapolis. Col McKee and Capt Curtis of Indianapolis light artillery went to Washington Thursday to represent the governor before the committee an military affairs Saturday.
A New Subscriber. The tribulations of the poor country editor are legion, but, according to the Atlanta Constitution, the worst of them maybe seen from the following inci dent, which is "only slightly exaggerated." "Say kernel," he said, as he walkt into the editor's office and stampt about 4o pounds of mud off his boots against the legs of the stove, 4,I sorter thought I'd take your pa, er et you'd do the square thing." "Why, or course; we are always glad to accommodate our .subscribers." "Wall, here e a little obituary of Aunt Kaline -hit's jes' ten pages o' foolscap, an' want make much, 1 reckon." "We'll print it.' "An you'll send 40 copies of the paper to this' ere .ist o' relatives, won't you?" "Yes." "An' next week my daughter Serilly is goin to get married. 1 reckon on you'll print a hull lot about that?" "Of course, that's news." "An' say, I've got one of the tinest
shoats you ever have saw. I want you to come out some day and write up hit." "I shall be glad to do so." "You hain't got a dozen or two old magar.ines whut you's done read a layin' eround, hev you ?" "Y'es; here's three or four." "Thanky. Jus' put me down for three months an' I'll hand you the quarter 'long this fall sometime. ' Funeral of .Mrs. Moon. The funeral of Mrs. AI. Moon, took place Sunday afternoon from the Methodist church, at .o'clock, and was largely attended. Mrs. Mood, was a member of the L. O. T. M. lodge of this city and they attended in a body, and conducted ceremonies at the grave, which were impressive and beautiful. The funeral discourse was preached by Hev L. S. Smith. Frank Leslie's Popular Moutlilv Tor My. A stirring poem on Cuba, by Joaquin Miller, opens the May number of Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. If there are any Americans who do not wish the freedom of the Cubans, a reading of this poem will quickly bring them into line. This magazine contains much of great timely interest. "Naval Warfare of Today" is an elaborate article, giving the most complete and best illustrated description of this much-talked-of topic that has yet appeared. It is written by Frederick Stone Daniel, and is ac companied by more than twenty-live half-tone cuts of all the leading warships in our navy, including a beautiful water-color fronticepiece cf the battleship Maine, recently destroyed in Havana harbor. BEAITIFII, WINONA. A Delightful Summer Haven. Winona Lake, Indiana, (formerly Eagle Lake) is an attractive summer haven on the Pennsvlvania Lines near Warsaw Iudiana. As the site of Winona Assembly and Summer Schools, this resort has grown into popular favor very rapidly. Improvements made on the two hundred acres of romantic woodland which stretches nearly two miles along the eastern shore of Winona Lake, a beautiful sheet of water, include all the comforts and convenience for a highly enjoyable sojourn. Ample facilities are at hand for satisfactory entertainment at reasonable rates at the commodious hotel which adjoins the railway station at the entrance to the grounds, in cosy cottages, or in tents as may be preferred. Persons who may desire to combine devotion, entertaiment and instruction with rest and recreation will find Winona Lake the ideal spot for invigorating both mind and body by instructive entertainment and study and healthgiving recreation. The educational work of the Summer School is in charge of well known instructors. The college halls are equipped with all required paraphernalia; the large auditorium in which the Assembly meets, and u. which prominent lecturers are heard during the season, has a seating capacity of over 3,000. An amphitheatre, race track and other faclitiesfor athletic pastimes are provided. The tishing, bathing are fine, lleet of boats being of the best. The season of 1898 will open May 15th.

Inquiries about excursion rates, time of trains, etc., should be addrensed to Passenger and Ticket Agents of tbe Pennsylvania Lines, or to F, VanDusen, Chief Assistant General Passenger Agent, Pittsburgh' Pa. A lamentable state of affairs exists between the members of the senior high school class and the ofncials of the school at present. It seems that through some misunderstanding over arranging for the music for the commencement exercises there was a clash between the two elements. The school
board met the class and presented an ultimatum. whi2h they refused to ac cept and all packed their honks at t have left the school, They still havt the privilege of the benefits of the school, but cannot receive t eir diplomas unless they niee' the terms offered them. Columbia v.'ity Post.
Advice to : Consumptives There are three great remedies that every person with X i i i t j i weak lungs, or with consumption itself, should understand. These remedies will cure about every case in its first stages ; and many of those more advanced. It is only the most advanced that are hopeless. Even these are wonderfully relieved and life itself greatly prolonged. What are these remedies ? Fresh air, proper food and Scott's Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil with Ifypophosp kites. Be afraid of draughts but not of fresh air. Eat nutritious food and drink plenty of milk. Do not forget that Scott's Emulsion is the oldest, the most thoroughly tested and the highest endorsed of all remedies for weak throats, weak lungs and consumption in all its stages. 50c. and $1 00; all druggists.
