At times it is really hard to realize that Mr. Foraker is Senator Hanna's colleague. Party spirit must be forgotten now iu the effort to make a united people victorious in war. Chas. Morey Smith, of Pennsylvania, has been appointed postmaster general by President McKinley, Mr. Gary having resigned. The administration is not worrying about the expense. The administration holds that the foreigners pay our taxes, and war would be in the nature of a joke on the foreigners. We must remember that Spain is praying to the same God we are asking to help us, and that the explosion of guncotton under a man-o'-war is not very different in either case. Gen. Ramon Blanco, in his manifesto to the Spaniards m Cuba Thursday, referred to the American people as a "lot of know-nothings." He is liable to think differently before this week passes. Change f residence from one precinct to another does not forfeit a voter's right, provided he remains in the same ward; but change of residence to another ward within 30 days of election ejects the loss of the right to vote. Gen. Lew Wallace, has at last seen the "hand writing" and has withdrawn from the race for the United States senatorship, in order that he may go into active military service. War has at least accom- ; Wished one thinr. It has saved

Gen . Wallace from a deep humiliation .

American soldiers fought for four years on a diet of side meat and hardtack. When re-enforced by canned meats and fresh bread they ought to be able to dispose of Spain in about three weeks.

Tom Reed has been extremely severe in his treatment of Mr. Bailey, the young man from Texas, loader on the democratic side, and at every opportunity treats hin with contempt. Bailey is not easily conquered, but he is not so evenly poised as the fat man from Maine, and at times allows his temper to get the better of him. When the English appeared in force before Havana in 1S05 to seize that port, the Spaniards committed a curious blunder. They had their warships in the harbor, and these they utilized by sinking them at the entrance. The British warships could not get in, but neither could the Spaniards get out. The reduction of Havana followed quickly the landing of British troops north of the harbor entrance. An exchange thinks it is evident that the Spanish minister does not expect a long war, for he has decided not to return to Spain , but has engaged rooms at Suspension Bridge, w here he can observe everything that is going on in this country without being in our territory 0 jurisdiction. The secretaries and some other members of the staff will also go to Suspension Bridge and afterward to Toronto. While the people of this city as, everywhere else, are deeply interested in and considerably excited over the war, they are by no means unmindful of the fact that a munici pal campaign is in progress, and that a citizen's duty is to be per formed on the third day of May. The officers who are to be chosen at that time will serve for four years, and it is therefore of the utmost importance that due attention be given to the subject under consideration. Coal is an important factor in naval warfare, and consequently a factoi whieh has received the attention of the United States government in the preparations it has been making for an emergency. It is statecf that the government has a coal map on which is located the whereabouts of every ton of coal in the Carribean sea and the Gulf of Mexico, and data concerning the ownership and price, and then too, Senator Hanna and Senator Steve Elkins have extensive coal fields. The insult of the Spanish authorities in sending Ambassador Woodford his passports before he could present President McKinley's last commnnication may sesult in much good to this country. It made it unnecessary for this country to await the specified time in the presdent's ultimatum till noon on Saturday, the 23d and instead of doing so orders were iven to the fleet at Key West and at Fortress Monroe to proceed at once to Cuban waters. Hence, it may be that Sagasta "cut off his nose to spite his face!" Who knows? The month of April is noted for its anniversaries of great events in this country. The revolutionary war began in April; that of the rebellion began in the same month; and this war practically closed in April; Massachusetts troops were fired upon in Baltimore when hastening to the defense of the national capital on the 19th day of April, 1861, and Lincoln was assassinated and died in April, 1865, and congress has on the 19th day of the month the same date of the Baltimore riots empowered the president to go to war to drive Spaniards out of Cuba; thus it will be seen that April has been pregnant of great events in the history of the United States, for we presume that the student of history could find many more important anniversaries occurring in this month than those noted above .-Warsaw Daily Times.

Military .Salari'!.. The Sandusky Register says that the national guardsman who enters the service to case of war will get the same pay as in the regular army. The pay is as follows per month: Private soldiers 9 13 00 Corporals 15.00 Sergeant, 25.00 Quartermaster sergeant 23.00 Sergeant major 23.00 Hospital steward 45.00 Second lieutenant lbVOU First lieutenant 125.00 Captain 150.00 Major 203 00 Lieutenant colonel 205.00 Colonel 101.01 Brigadier general 458.33 Major general 625j00 Chaplain 125.00 Quartermaster 150.00 Adjutant 150.00 Surgeon 2'8..'iö Assistant surgeon 150.00 It will thus be seen that otlicers get pretty handsome pay and naturally it is easier to enlist companies of otlicers than companies of privates. The Ioj;s ir War. The dogs of war have broken the lesh at last. Now every American stands iov (Jod and country against a nation that has abused the choicest gifts of heaven and repaid the bounteous favors of providence with de ds so barbarous that the world has sick ened at them. We will "remember the Maine' but in doing so we will not forget that Spain, the purse-holder for the path-tinder to the new world; Spain, whose galleons floated the lla? of the kingly Philip, has made war upon women, upon children, upon helpless old men a war of slow starvation. It is well to remember the "Maine, but the thought of vengeance for the fearful crime against the people should not oe permitted to overshadow the memory of her blood-guilty savagery in dealing with the sons of her own adoption. Arrenca makes war for human ity, for the civilization of the dawning twentieth century. Some Port nice Knie. The following newspaper item going the rounds gives some information that is not generally known: "There are some rules in the postotlice department that are not understood by the general public. Tostmasters are strictly prohibited from giving information relative to persons who rent boxes in the postotlice. A man's wife may rent a box for the reception of clandestine mail, but her husband csn not be told by the postmaster, and even the court can not compel a postmaster to answer such a question on the witness stand. Another provision, not understood, is thai while parents can control the correspondence and letters addressed to minor children, the rule applies only to those who are dependent upon their parents for support. A boy or girl of fifteen, if they are earning their own living can prohibit a postmaster trom delivering their mail to their parents or guardian. North Manchester Journal. Militiamen's Clothing. The Indianapolis Journal makes this observation that may apply to some members of Co. C: "The average militiaman's idea of a war outfit of clothing seems to be strangely erroneous. Members of some of the companies were surprised when informed that a white shirt would be an abomination in the sight of a colonel, and that patent leather shoes would be inappropriate for the 0 icasion. The boys have been instructed to make the provisional preparation to serve until such a time as the general government shall issue supplies of clothing. The outfit consists of coarse shoes, underclothing and two or three black or blue tlannel shirts aud the regulation uniform and hat." War ml Buiii'-. Kxchange: War is the most destructive, wasteful, and expensive business in the world. Every life that is sacrificed is lost to productive industry, everv gun that is tired shoots money in the air and every dollar that is paid to otlicers, soldiers and sailors comes oat of the pocket of producers. War is essentially waste. The apparent and temporary stimulus it may give to business is far more than counterbalanced by the great waste of lives, money aud energy, and the long train of taxes it always leaves behind. Itourh n Kepuhlienu Ticket. The Republicans of Bourbon have nominated Ferd Fribley and W. W. liichey for trust rees of tirst and second wards respectively, Ed l'rillhart for clerk, J. H. Matchette for treasurer and L. Devoire for marshal. Election otlicers selected for the west precinct were: Noyse Tyrrell, clerk; Henry Steinbach, judge; David Melser, sheriff . East precinct Seam Ferguson, clerk; Eh Shaffer, judge; Ot Compton, sheritT. Will Loh Pension. A pensioner, having read a statement that old soldiers who should once more enlist in the service of their country would still receive their pensions, wrote the pension department and received a reply from EL Clay Evans, which said: "In response to your letter you are advised that under existing laws a soldier's pensionable status would terminate on the date of re enlistment."

Your Doctor Knows Tour doctor knows all about foods and medicines. The next time you see him, just ask him wbat he thinks Scott's Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophosphites. Wo are willing to trust in his answer. For twenty-five years doctors havo prescribed our Emulsion for paleness, weakness, nervous exhaustion, and for all diseases that cause loss in flesh.
