Abraham Lincoln Brick demonstrated himself to be a politician in his speech of acceptance at Rochester. He is for certain policies that will surround all humanitv with a beautiful, angelic, picturesque halo of glory but the only particular principles of government that he takes a decided stand upon are those that have been heretofore dictated by the republican platform. He will make a good republican congressman, one that will don Boss Reed's hand cuffs and sing the praises of this monarch without ceasing. Here is Brick's platform. "I am first of all for America and its defenders, past and present. "I am for that policy of tariff which shall encourage the development of all of ur slumbering energies as well as our matchless enterprises, and protect every struggling son of toil beneath the flag, whether it be upon that bright, warm isle that gems the Pacific seas or on our native soil. "I am for the policy that shall give to every person that dwells beneath the great blue dome of American liberty, full free and equal opportunity to wrest from life such joy and prosperity as lies within the sun and soil of our country. "I am for that dollar than can hold up its honest, shining face and say to its its maker I am proud to know that I, too, am an American citizen. "I am for the administration of President McKinley and for every important act that has marked its career. "I am for the old soldier who served the country, broke its chains

ami raised the ring that now floats over a land where everv man's a king. 4I am for the young soldier who is now fighting that America may take a third great step in advanced civilization. May God bless hin:.'

I1 m K 1 1. K .1 Ol It KAU8M The Evening News pa cd to the mmao-ement of new men about one month ajo, hardlv a sufficient time to entitle them to citizenship according to the state laws, but it seems that their wanton inclinations after a few vears of suburban city experience are entitled to consideration in "public p int'' according to their mediocre conception of propriety and morals. Without business identity, without citizenship, a publisher in the little city of Plymouth, pestered by an effervescence of egotism, and an over anxiety to show his knowledge of propriety and the eternal fitness of things, has made an audacious personal attack upon an old citizen of the county, a man who has been honored by the voters in unmistakable terms. The young editor has a great task before him if he is undertaking to substitute a different code for the ethics of a farming community. No doubt he would be obliged to lisrht his cigarette and feint if he should happen to get out in the countrv where the fanners "plow corn" in their bare feet. We suggest that he put the entire farming community in communication with Ruth Ashmore, the noted etiquette authority. In refined society the man who would dare to criticize the shortcomings of his associates or acquaintances, would be considered uncouth or ill bred. I lew much more ought a publisher be censured who has so little regard for the rights of others and such mischievous inclinations for the hazard of those whose long acquaintanceship and associations have taught them to value a reputation which transient newspaper writers sometimes fail to grasp in its deepest meaning. TIIK INTEKXAL RKVKM'E STAMP A. E. Nowlin, collector for sixth district, Indiana, informs us as follows regarding the use of stamps for the purpose of creating a war revenue: The impression that postage stamps can be used on checks, drafts, etc., is erroneous. Postage stamps cannot be used as a substitute for any internal revenue stamp unless imprinted with "I. R.M on them by this department. Such stamps as are now on sale at the postofHces will not do. The list heretofore sent out should be amended as follows: Under documentary stamps conveyance deed, instrument of writing whereby realty is sold, etc., where consideration exceeds $100 and not exceeding $500, 50 cents, and for each additional $500 or fractional part in excess of $500, 50 cents. Under propi ietary stamps where retail price exceeds 10 cents and not 15 cents, cents. Where retail price exceeds 15 and not exceeding 25 cents, cents, and for each additional 25 cents, Su cents. CiOD IN Til IS W A It. The Rev. D. R. Lucas, of the Sixth Christian church, of Indianapolis preached a sermon on Sunday in which he said: "The Philippine islands once in our possession, can never be forsaken by our country until they aie civilized ,christinized , educated and enlightened. This war is God's call to a nation with a hundred years of liberty to take the free press and free gospel that have uplifted her and give them to the other nations of the world. For us to now draw back wou'd be to act the coward's part." To civilize, christianize and educate is a big undertaking and if we consider the distance of the islands from this continent, it must be convincing proof that the reverend gentlemen is moved wholly by sentiment. In deciding upon such a grave national policy reason , and reason alone should control the acts of those authorized to act.

Sentiment oftentimes impels nations as well as individuals to their ruin.

OPPOSSeO TO ACQ1 I RING TERKITOKV. There is an effort being made on the part of some democrats to make the opposition to territory acquiition a leading principle of the democratic platform. This is at this time a very important question and if the democracy takes a firm stand in opposition to the acquisition of territory, the effect will be that very many deserting Democrats wil' return to the fold. Whatever the attitude of the party on this (jucstion, however, no concessions on the silver question will be made. Free coinage of silver is an issue that can not be supplanted. It will remain the leading isue until it is settled right at the polls. IXCI.K sAMs IMCOME I.KKNS. The statement just given out of the government receipts and expenses show that the reseipts during the present month will aggregate $33,500.000 and for the present fiscal year about 30,500,000. The receipts from customs are $1.1,500,000, a loss as compared with last June of about $7,000,000. For the entire fiscal year the receipts from customs amount to itss than $100, 000,000, a loss as compared with last year of 26,500 ,000. This showing is conclusive evidence of the utter failure of the Dingley law as a revenue measure. Public sentiment in Europe is of the weather cock order. At the outbreak of the war there was stiong talk of intervention, provided this countrv did not con line the scene of hostilities to this side of the ocean. But since the order for the assembling of Watson's squadron to strike Spain a solar plexus blow there has been a change of sentiment, and the European press is complimenting our vigorous manner of bringing the dons to their knees. A similiar change of opinion was brought about when Dewey went into the submarine bnsiness at Manila, and perhaps before the close of the war Europe will be willing to admit that the United States are worth recognizing after all. The Ft. Wayne Sentinel says the following of the democratic nominee for state treasurer: "The nomination of Hon. llugh Dougherty for treasurer of state by the Democratic Convention Wednesday, was a deserved tribute to the worth of that gentleman and the distinguished service he has rendered the democratic party, Mr, Dougherty will prove one of the most popular and one of the strongest nominees the party has made in recent years. He is a dean, honorable and cultured gentleman, who both strengthens and ornaments the tickt t. Throughout the state, and particularly in the northern p'rt, Mr. Dougherty's hosts of friends will feel honored in his nomination and proud to give him their most ardent support." The Rochester Republican has the following to say of Congress man Royse "His record in congress has been without spot or blemish, and it would be so if he should spend a life time at the national capital. The truth is, he was turned down because he did not have postoffices enough to supply the demand, and the disappointed office seekers who feel that they must be revenged because they are not permitted to participate in the spoils of party politics deliberately slaughtered him in the house of his friends. Alex Hess, of Wabash, clerk of the supreme court, is in trouble. He has failed to turn over all the fees of his office as the law requires and as a consequence the state auditor refuses to allow him his salary. Hess has bristles on his back. Not satisfied with placing his family in salaried positions in his office he is trying to steal several thousand dollars in fees. Gen. Merrit was once a printer, so he will have no trouble locking

up every Spaniard in the Philippines, as his men and his shootingsticks are in goo I condition

Ereretl Field Writ From Tampa. Tampa, Via., June ID, 1896. Hear Parents. We are still at the same camp and do not inppcee we will move from here for at least tw weeks yet, and when we do ! think it will he to Porto Rico. The Chirago papers bad us aboard the Florida and in Cuba last Wednesday, but t in- papers do nor kn w much more about it than we do. There is such a strict censorship that a zreat deal of the reports are supposition. There were 10,000 troops left here for tuba last Monday evening and are probably in Cuban waters by this time. Ttiere were thrte Cuban toidien in our camp yesterday. They were armed with rines and m sehet tea. The later weapon, which is dangerous in close quarters, has a blade about thirty inches long and about as wide as a corn knife. They can cut a small sized tree down in a short time, generally two or three cuts. They ieave tor Cuba today on board the Florida. Church call has just sounded and the boys are falling in ranks. I do not thin! I will go as 1 have got to do my trashing and correspondence. This is a terrible dirty place, worse than Chiekamauga. It is almost impossible to keep clean. There is a kind of sand and muck loam and when it is dry the line dust will penetrate almost any fabric. I received the things you sent nie and they were very good. 1 suppose you read the bill of fare that I had laid out for the following Sunday dinner. The boys 1 bunk with ore all respectable as well as kind and generous. Nearly all the hoys are broke as they have not. received i ne cent, of pay since being mustered into the service. I have a little let) and some loaned out. but I was sick and was in the hospital two weeks and it cost in for my extra eating while there. It would not have co9t me anything if I could have eaten hardtack, sowbelly and black coffee, but when one is sick his appetite is dainty. If 1 should happen to be sick the chaplain would attend to correspondence etc. as he visits the hospital every day . This is a very hot day, the heat is extreme and i will have to cut this short so as to answer the rest. Your Loving Son. Everett l. Field. P. S. Monday, June 27. Leave Wednesday for Cuba.
