Spain had one sympathizer in Goshen , a Bohemian shoe cobbler . He got very loud about the time the boys started for the front. He don't live m Goshen now. A number of people have been laying in a supply of coffee large enough to last until the war is over, in anticipation of a war tax on that commodity advancing the price. They will no doubt be somewhat chagrined to learn that no extra tax will be placed on coffee, tea and sugar and that the price will not materially advanced. Every minute since the destruction of the Maine has been precious to those preparing for war. The cry in congress for years has been that the United States was absolutely unprepared for war both as to its navy and its coast defenses and those familiar with the situation recognizes the wisdom of the president's coarse in refusing to accede to the demand for instant action until such steps could be taken to put the gorernment and the country on a war footing. The Pope continues to urge a settlement of the controversy between Spain and the United States. If he could have had his way, Spain would have acceded to the demands of the United States without first measuring strength in an unequal contest. In the final settlement the Pope will be an important factor by the way of urging the Spanish government to accept the inevitable without shedding a drop of blood wore than is necessary to maintain the throne against the attacks of the revolutionary element of Spain. The recognition of Cuban independence will mean that Cuba is a nation of her own, with a flag of her own and her own form of government. She can be a republic or she can become a monarchy ; she can rule by placing a man in absolute control or she can choose her own heads and become a generous representative government. Cuba as a nation cfln make her own laws of impoi t and export. She can be grand y independent in the goods

she brings into the island and she can put her own price on those she sends out. Cuba, proud little Cuba, today can plan what her future will be, for the beginning of her future is at hand.

It might be well for Gov. Mount to make something of an effort to be a little more consistent. When the Indiana National Guards were called out, he stated explicitly that not a man was expected to enter the federal service if not so inclined or if so situated as to make it inconvenient to enlist under the president's call. Since then he seems to have undergone a change of mind, if one may judge from his harsh criticism of the men who acted upon his suggestion. He criticises them quite sharply and intimates very broadly that they are cowards, etc. This is strangely inconsistent with his former declaration, when he said no one would be less thought of for declining to g into military service and that going or not going was purely a matter of choice. The glorious news from our fleet at the Philippines demonstrates what brave men can do under a righting commander. It further indicates that our round table advisory board at Washington should be abolished and the conduct of the war placed in the hands of the commanders of the army and navy where it properly belongs. No war was ever successfully waged by any advisory board. There must be vigor, individually and aggressiveness manifested or it will deteriorate into a discursive gossiping match. As well place the conduct of our present war in the hands of a village council as to longer entrust it in the argumentative clutches of that gray-bearded Washington board of incompetency. Let it be retired on half pay without futher delay and our war with Spain will soon be concluded. Ex. The story comes from Cleveland that the wealthy Jews of that city and Cincinnati proposes to purchase a warship and present it to the government for use against Spain. "While it might be well believed that Jewish citizens of the United States would do this from motives of patriotism and attachment to their own country' the Kansas Cify Star says, "there are historic reasons why every Jew on the face of the earth should be an enemy of Spain, lu no country has the persecution of their race and religon been so cruel and muderous, and in no other country has the vengeful spirit against them, dying ont in most christian counrites, been so prolonged into modern times as in Spin to acctimlate for centuries victims and enemies, and among these may be numbered the oldest of the races of men and the most tenacious in their friendships and enmities." An eastern contemporary thus enthuses over Ihe splendid achievement of Commodore Dewey at Manila : Of late the press of Europe has been want to sneer in a quiet manner at the prow ess of our navy . lut 'twill sneer no more. Our vessels may be few, our crew heterogenous, our officers inexperienced in actual warfare; but in these few vessels are men who are never defeared until they are dead, in these crews of hetergenous composition inan"espirit de corps which" makes them Americans as sterling as Washington and as zealous as Sheridan, and among these officers nay, in evtry one of these officers is there a spirit of magnetism which makes heroes out of craven-hearted underlings and a wealth of that mysticarticle known as American grit and push, which never knows defeat and which has raised this country from a mere handful of hamlets to the greatest government in the annals of civilization.

Indiana Pli siri.ui in gSNMtMk The Indiana State Medical Society held its 4 '.Hb annua! meeting at Lafay ette, Thursday and Friday, and Marshall county was ably represented by the following physcians: Drs. J. H. Wilson, N. 13. Aspinall, D.C, Hume, K. C.Stephens, L. C. Loring and Jacob Kaszer. Dr. Loring read a paper upMi Pneumonia, which wo formally discussed and commended by the tocic J and ordered to be published with the society records. There was an article from the pen of Dr. Knott, upon the injustice of the Medical Law, in the case of Dr. Franklin Tripp, of Bremen, who on account of not having registered within the limits of the time, was refused a license by the board of registration and examination. Drs. Knott and Aspinall, by the sanction of the Medical Society. have undertaken to champion the cause of Docter Tripp, and will aid the Docter with assurance of the protection of the society in obtaining a license to practice medicine. It was a noticeable fact that Dr. Kasger took an active iuterest and maintained the dignity of our deligates. Dr. H. C. Hume, and son Albert, entertained the Marshall County delegates of Purdue University for dinner Thursday afternoon. The next meeliiig, and the 00th., anniversary of the Indiana and State Medicine Society

will be held at Indianapolis in lb'J'J Iiigerxdl Speaks of ( ulia. Bob Ingersoll, lectured in Fort Wayne a few nights ago, and in the course of his remarks he used the following language: "We saw Cuba prostrate on her knees, with her worn, transparent hands uplifted to the great republic. We saw her eyes fierce with famine. We saw her murdered babes, her dying and unburied dead. And then came the most glorious hour in the history of mankind when the great republic called Spain. 'Take your bloody hands from her throat. Your bloody llag shall no longer pollute the western world.' 1 have reau'of wars waged and the reasons assigned for them, but 1 say tonight that the great republic for the first time in the history of the world has un sheathed the sword absolutely for the sake of humanity. Ol all the w ars ever waged it is the holiest. To say to Spain,' 'You must starve no more of your subjects, you must assassinate no more,' is the language for a great republic to use. 1 was never so proud of my country as at this hour, To fight for self is natural; to fighc lor one's country is right and blessed, but to light for another, for mankind, for humanity , is nobler still," War is Dusiue--. The men who quickly started for the wars are complaining of physical hardships. They have not blankets or the right kind of food. All this is a part of campaigning. The deliciencies are natural and unavoidable. When the call came this nation was practically unequipped for lield service. The militia was a sort of holiday organization . The cry went up for war. Such an appeal always stirs the blood of y.utli. The boys had no idea what war actually meanp. Now there is a touch ot front and a lack of blankets, the boys complain. They are not used to that sort of thing. It is simply the difference between play and work. When the state turns over the militia to the l uited States the tupplies will come from professional sources and be in regular form; buc with that shifting of authority will come new lessons. One of them is the duty of a soldier. Regular army men must not grumble. They must take what comes -cold, heai rain, snow, mud and fatigue. War is business. Silver Star Lodge. Silver Star Lodge, No. 128, Daughters of Kebekah was instituted Friday Bight in Odd Fellows' hall, and thirty candidates were initiated. The hall was crowded with Odd Fellows, their wives, daughters and sisters. The Argos ladies were present twenty-five in number, accompanied by several gentlemen and conferred the beaut liul Kebekah degree on thirty candidates. The lodge starts out with a good meniberhip and bright prospects. At midnight a delicious supper was spread by Brother Alberts, at his well known res taurant on Michigan street. Severr.l good speeches were made by the visitors and others present. It was one of the most enjoyable events experienced by the Odd Fellows of this city in years. The A nu'i H Hii Flag. The Columbia City Post says: It is suprising at the number ot people who are not familiar with the make up of the American llag. During a recess in court yesterday a certain legal gentleman began investigating, with the result that one soldier who had been in the service for three yearB was unable to tell how many stripes are found upon the national emblem. Another gentleman, a lawyer, was equally unsuccessful in giviir; the description. It isestimat ed that not more than one in UDO are able to give a correct description. Can you ? They Were (iilve.l. The Indianapolis Journal reports that about twenty-five young men who had enlisted at Ossian, Wells county,

Ciis state, took it into their heads to go back to their home" after a lew days in camp. Upon then arrival they received a very cool reception and each one was presented with a naming -bottle labied "From Mamma.' The boys were so disgusted that everyone f them returned to camp, some of them declaring that they went home to vote, ami others giving various reasons. One man's wife

; declared that if he did not go back she I would never live with him again. He went back. Soldier i Money. There is a serious need of money among the troops who are in Camp I Mount, and there is demand among the j line ctlicers and the privates to know j when they are to be paid. Most of the ! me i h ive been in camp nearly two j weeks and so far they have had no au thortative information as to when 1 they can expect the money which is due them for service. Nine out of ten of the privates are tradesmen who, When they left their work to take up arms for the state, their money resources closed until the government treasury is opened to them. Nearly every private who went into camp with only 88 or siO now finds that his pocketbook is empty, and when it is to be replenished is a leading question with him. some are in great need and cannot even buy postage stamps. The pay-rolls have not reached the adjutant-general's office and there is uo way ot paying the men until these rolls are turned m . There is plenty of money with which to pay the men, but the difficulty s. ems to be at the camp. As soon as the pay rolls are presented theni who are entitled to pay will received it, ata;e othcers say. Wurm Talk. Macy Monitor: We wish we could convince the public that the Monitor oillce is no Young or Old Men's Christian Association reading room. It is true, the Monitor is a strictly high toned family newspaper, but it is devilish annoying to have a do::en or two persons to call each day and squat down on our cushioned chairs, cock their heels upon our tables, squirt tobacco juice at our spittoons, spin their vulgar yarns, blow their noses on the carpets and wipe their lingers on the seats ot their pants in the presence of ladie6, etc. We have hoped and prayed for their demise for years, and unless the good Lord comes to our relief soon the world will hear of sudden deaths in this locality.
