Editor Stoll, of the South Bend Times, is having considerable trouble finding a democratic candidate for congress. He was supporting Mr. Kellison until this week, but it seems that Mr. Kellison does not want the honor. At any rate he has not so expressed himself, and the fact that his bosom friend Stoll H now hunting for a farmer candidate is very good evidence that our fellow townsman will not ask a renomiation. Stoll is now booming Dixon W. Place. The distinguished editor will realize on the day of convention that the district wants Hon. Benjamin Shively and that he will be the democratic candidate notwithstanding the protest of one who for personal reasons is inclined to oppose his unanimous selection.

I Til K CO INC IL PROGRBSSIYK? It is to be hoped that the Common council will not weary in well-doing. At Monday night's session, a contract was let for an iron bridge across Yellow river. This is commendable work, but they should not forget the streets and sidewalks which have long since been a disgrace. There arc yawning ruts in the streets and broken fence boards in the sidewalks, laying in wait to provoke

damage suits. A good paving has long been needed. The spirit of improvement shouh take possession of our people. Jus start the jrood work and it will con tinue to spread. All that is needed is sufficient back bone on the pai of the council to start it, Uid vou ever notice how quickly your neig hbor paints his house after you ha given vours a new coat how soon he improves his lawn, after you im prove yours, etc.? The paving of one of our main streets would soon be followed by the paving of others, a cement side walk on a half dozen block s wrould awaken the town to a realix ation that people are not here sim ply to exist and endure, but to en joy. This council should show that 11 is a progressive council and the people who have the good of the city at heart will endorse its action and iive it everv assistance. Let th e good work go on. CAN THIS UK TRUE? The war department it evidently in possession of some news that it does not care to make public, and some newspapers that have man aged to avoid the Santiago censor ship say that the suppressed dispatches relate to the escape of a lai c body of Spaniards from the besieged city. Up to this time our government has been frank with the people and it should not now adopt a policy of reticence, even though there have been disappoint ing developments at the front. The seige of Santiago was gone into rather hurriedly, with a limited number of troops, and it should oc casion no great surprise if, as alleged, a portion of the Spanish army has cut through our lines It simply means that they will "live to tight another day," and the ultimate result is not affected merely de layed. It is to be hoped, however, that Shafter has been able to hold the enemy firmly. Indianapolis Sun. KILL OFF HI FOSSILS. The common council is to be con gratulated upon its action Monday night when it voted to erect an iron bridge across Yellow river oa Garro street. The day of old rickety wooden bridges is past, so far as Plymouth is concerned. These old ilim-llam concerns that disgrace the town ought to be dumped into the river and floated off to some cross roads station. Along with the old bridge we ought to dispatch the worn out fence board side walks. Property owners who have been gathering in high rents these many years should be obliged to improve for the public good and give us a city that can in decency compare with the outly ing villages. Plymouth today is a back number and there is no use lerfying it. It is high time that the public officials turn down the fossils and monev-urab leaches. Let's have a city or let's resign our cor poration rights. IM ONOITIONAL Kl KKKNDF.K." The reopening of direct negotia tions between Madrid and Wash ington was the striking feature of Saturday's doings. Nearly three months ago the Spanish govern ment by its own act broke off all diplomatic relations between the two countries. Saturday it was glad to seek a renewal of them, albeit of the ruder diplomacy of the armed camp. General Toral, wise ly reckoning his case at Santiago hopeless, wished to surrender on the best terms he could make. He communicated with Madrid, and the government there in turn communi cated through him and through General Shafter with the Washing

ton gov eminent, asking for certain conditions of karrender, involving the surrender of the city, but not of the Spanish army a preposterous proposition. The Washington government made reply to Madrid through General Shafter ami General Toral. It was the reply that was to be expected from the land of Grant. It was a reply that is commended to every American heart. "Unconditional surrender." That is all. Xo other teims can be considered. That was and is exactly right. Unconditional surrender is the true watchword. This country has no mind to haggle over terms with its foes. They must yield to it absolutely, and accept whatever terms it may see fit to grant. Nor can that be deemed hard or ungenerous. The war was not of our seeking. Those who did seek it must pay the penalty. Nor need any foe fear to tiust to Our humanity and generosity .

Judging by the conduct of Spanish prisoners, there is not much doubt that they have been educated to believe that they would all be beheaded the moment they became American prisoners; And for this reason they fight with greater desperation. The fact is, the rank and file of .Spaniards have been kept in ignorance of many things pertaining to war, and a dark future has been painted for them. But the truth is gradually spreading, dispelling the fear engendered by false representations. The commissioner of internal revenue has decided that the law places the stamp tax required for bill of lading and receipts upon the companies and corporations, and not upon the shippers. At the same time he says that if carries refuse goods offered for transportation unless the receipts are stamped by the shipper, the shipper's onlv remedy is an appeal to the courts to decide '-.hether the law prescribing the obligations of common carriers will afford a remedy. Judging by the fatality among tiie olticers of the regular army in the engagement before Santiago, the officers must have led the men, not followed them. Three companies of the Twenty-fourth regi ment came out of the fight without a commissioned officer, and a major commanded the regiment The Thirteenth regulars was commanded by a captain when the tight ?nded, all the field officers having Veen lisabled . That newspaper report, that every man issuing a receipt must pay one cent revenue thereon. seen to have frigetened subscribers out of the notion of paying their subscripions, simply out of compassion for the publisher who was supposed to have to put the one-cent stamp on a receipt. We stop the press long enough to say that this is an error. No revenue will have to he paid on recei pts . N appa n ce N e w s, Battleships cost money and a good ileal of it. It is officially stat ed in Spain that the ships destroyed ast Sunday at Santiago cost $iS,000,000. i rooaolv $30,000,000 is not too high a figure for all the Spanish war vessels destroyed or captured since the sun went down April 30. The republicans of Scott county, this state, may be said to be first in he held with a McKinley boom for fW 1 .1." 1 icjoo- 1 ney instructed tneir dele gates in various nominating conventions not to vote for any person foany position who is opposed to the nomination of the president for a second term. Receipts from the sales of war revenue stamps promise to exceed estimates, treasury officials beieve that the war revenue bill will yield from $ z 50,000 ,000 to $500,ooo,oo instead of $ 1 50,000,000 as estimated by the framers of the bill.

RENT RECEIPT STAMPS. Simr W Katata A-i m- Attempting to A :! Tlut:i. Indianapolis Journal: Some real estate aijeMfc. dI tl'e city and Ibeir tttorneys have heen trying to devise a means of escaping the tax era tent receipts. To do this, a form mast be finnd which does not imply a contract, or tease. Tin: , it Beatus, is difficult to do because of the far reaching terms of the revenue law. 1? goes so far as to include even memorandums given as receipts for rv ;.t . Recently an ettornej wrote to Deputy RevtaiM Collector Glover and asked his opinion of the matter. Major (I lover replied that 'J-V cent 6 amps must be atfized to ail rent receipts. The attorney wrote again, combating Major (.lover's? opinion and inclosing a sample rent receipt. Major Glover inclosed the letter and the sample in a letter which he sent to Collector Nowlin, at Lawrenceburg. Collector Nowlins reply states explicitly all rent receipts must be stamped.

A Hut Time This is a question of the gravest Und when WS take in the condition ol our town. The church with all her effort at reformation is powerless before the surging tide of lawlessness that prevails at present. The Myers-McAuhll prize tight advertises us the world over as a "wideopen" town and we are greeted with that stigma hundreds of miles from home when the place of our residence is made known. The church in her I weakness is powerless to subdue by force that which a due observance of the law would render unnecessary, and our grief comes not from our inability to conquer, but that conditions confront us that are deplorable in consequences. Christian people have not been antagonistic in North Judsoh, but have patiently waited for r formation. This seems to travel 00 rusted wheels, until they realize that time runs against the slothful and those who neglect their rigtits. North .Judson News. Northern Prison Rale For V niton.
