It give* vou the war news and the news of the coming campaign. Try the DKjKKRAT for a year. Commodore Schley should be advanced lor his great victory over Cervera at Santiago. The world at large does him houor by giving him the credit of the victory. The Press has not explained to the farmers why wheat has declined in price from |J .87 to 77 cents. Don’t be backward. Mr. Chairman of the republican party, but state if it is due to the administration* or something else. j

_ . - l LI l Ok course nobody cares anything part ietilarly about the Dingley deficit bill any fnore, but it might be of interest to state that receipts under it for the month of June were more than $7,000,000 less than for June, 1897, under the Wilson law. Ta* new republican bosses held a confab , last Friday. All is not merry and pleasant In the camp and strong methods must be used to bring the recalcitrants “living in adjoining counties” into cainp. Of course, these broken down politicians are no good in the eyes of the new bosses. Bkcaisi some free silver ad rotates were defeated for nominatinu before the demo- , cratic state convention, some of the little “echo1” republican sheets are taking great care to lie about it. The democrat ic ticket is a silver ticket, on a ^silver platform and are representative uien in every way. •m Senator Tckkie: The democratic sentiment has no hostility to wealth or capital. The free and princely heart of liberty would. not allow but assure to every man hi* earnings and possession, great or small. The democratic sentiment has not reverence for wealth as such. It reveres the freeman for what he is, not for what he has. Th* democratic ticket is all right in every way. The tax-payers have not been disappointed in the offioen they elected in 1896. They have given good account of themselves and have watched the interests of the tax-pay«rs and not to enrich them•elves at the expeuse of the people who elected them to office. It is safe to say that each and every one will be re-elected In November together with the rest of the ticket. The people will let well enough alone. W* earnestly reassert the democratic' doctrine that all tariff taxes shall be bud for revenue as their sole object and purpose, and we do at this same time especially denounce and condemn the high prohibitory rates of the present republican ; tariff, commonly called the Dingley bill,1 under the operation of which trusts and combinations have multiplied, the cost of the necessaries of life have been increased and the wages of labor havo not been adviced, and which has entailed upon the1 country a deficit of many millions, to be made Up v«vy bjr additional taxation in time of war, thus imposing, instead of a benefit1, gu enormous burden upon the people of the l-nited ^tatess—IVmocraf ic plat

The Dudley deficit bill has not shown I op very satisfactorily daring the past fiscal year, which dosed on Jane 80. In that period the total revenues from imports amounted to $140,810,1104—a decline of a little more than $30/100,000 from the customs receipts of last year. Whan Mr. Dingley reported this product of statesmanship from the ways and means committee he stated that, if passed at once, it would yield a re venue ofabout $369,000,000. He qualified this estimate with the statement that if the bill should be delayed until July so as to enable speculation to anticipate its provisions by enormous importations of sugar, wool and other articles, the revenues would lose not less* than $75,000,000. Making this allowance upon the original estimate of $369,000,000, the chairman is still off about $44,000,000 in his estimates. Unquestionably the receipts are far less than they would have been .under the Wilsou la,w if ij had been permitted to stand without change.—Indianapolis Sentinel. James S. Guthrie is the first man ever j nominated on the state ticket from Brown [couuty by either the democratic or xepubli- ! can party. The county has gone democratic steadily for forty yeaus, and this year will roll up a majority of 1,000 and over for the entire democratic ticket. In 1896 it gave Mr. Bryan 784, the democratic vote being just double the republican vote. For a third of a century Brown county never had a man in the penitentiary, and the first man sent from the county was for stealing a sheep. When he was dismissed and bis discharge money given him, he asked that he be able to have enough left wheu he got home to pay the man for the sheep he had stolen. The nest man Brown county sent to the penitentiary was handed the commitment and told to go on to prison. And he went, reporting to the warden aud handed him his commitment. The county now has a jail. It is a rude stockade, sixteen feet square, and has not had any one in it for over a year. There is not a poor house in the county and never was. “Wbf.s*my eyes shall be turned for the last time to the sun in heaven, let their last feeble and lingering glance behold the gurgeou> ensign of the republic now known and honored throughout the earth, its arms and trophies streaming in their original luster, not a stripe erased or poluted, not a single star obscured, spread all over in characters of living light biasing on all its ample folds, as they float over the sea and over the land, and in every wind under the whole heavens, the motto ‘Liberty and Union, now and forever, one aud inseparable.’”—Daniel Webster's reply to Hayne, man

Tar. report of the director of the mint for the fiscal year ending June 30 show? the coinage of the mints ju the ]uu>t year to have been: Gold, $64,631,305; silver, $16,485,534; minor coins, $1,439,434. The standard silver dollar? coined aggiegated $10,003,780. The seigniorage on this $16,435,584 ha? been credited to t he government on the treasury books. The new reveuue law requires the coinage of not less than 18,000.000 standard silver dollars annually, and of course, the coinage of fractional currency will add materially to thus amount. A. E. Nowlin, internal revenue collector for the Sixth Indiana district, sends us the following for publication, dated at Lawreneeburg, June 27: The impression that postage stamps can be used on checks, drafts, etc., is erroneous. Postage stumps cannot be used as a substitute for any internal revenue stamp unless imprinted with ‘•I. R.” on them by this department. Such stamps as are uow ou sale at the postoffices 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 Pioprietary Stamps—Where retail price exceeds 10 cents and not 15 cents, f. Where- retail price exceeds 15 and not exceeding 25 ceuts, j cents, and for each additional 35 cents, # cents. __^__ We are in receipt of the catalogue of Iudiana University for 1397-98. It contains one hundred and forty-six pages and is replete with information concerning the head of ludiana's great common school system. There are sixty-four members of the faculty, representing thirty-seven of the best educational institutions of Europe and America, and they offer work id nineteen departments, comprising two hundred and fifty-six courses. The growth of the university during recent years has been rapid and for the first time in its history the attendance exceed? one thousand, the exact enrollment for the year just ended being one thousand and forty-nine. During the university year of 1897 and 1898 ninety of the ninety-two counties were represented and during the calendar years of 1897 and 1898 every county in Indiana had students in attendance. While the applications for admission for next year are more numerous than ever before, it is probable that the present equipment and the additional requirements for entrance trill make it desirable to limit the number to a thousand in l896r-9. Following are the names and addresses of the students from this county irho were in attendance at the university during the last year: From Petersburg— Willpun D. Crow, Charles W. Ferguson and Jamee H. Risley. From Winslow— James R. Thomas. The Marion cycle company, one of the largest in the west, has made an assignment. More than 909 pea are thrown out of employment.

W AM HI KOTO!* 1LETTBM.' Oor Kvfalw ('«rre«i>»uAent StaO * In a Hatch •( News. It most have been noticed by all observant readers of war news that the victories scheduled in advance have invariably failed to be pulled off on schedule time, and that our greatest victories, such as the destruction of the Spanish fleets at Santiago .and at Manila, have not been handicapped by advance notices. This was especially true of the Santiago affair. That the postponements in taking that town were caused by orders resulting from Spanish trickery is more than probable, although it is constantly—too,constantly, in fact—reiterated by those attached to the administration, that Mr. McKinley has issued no orders about the movement ou Santiago, since it was begun, egee{ft that instructing General Shatter not .to accept the surrender of the Spauiards except unconditionally. The Spaniards across the Atlantic are trying to create the impressiou that they ate on the eve of sueiug for peace, aud they are succeeding, too, with some persous high in authority, aud thereby hangs some of the delay* which have ao aggravated those who believed that the quickest way to secure peace was to lick the Spauiards as fast as we could get at them. Although the bluff about sending a fleet to Spain has accomplished its purpose and turned Camara's fleet back towards borne, it is still being kept up, and the departure of the fleet promised in a few days. Still, knowing ones would be glad to make wagers ou big odds that the fleet uever starts. General Miles has gone to Santiago, lie did not carry his private car with its porcelain tub, but has his headquarters on a floating palace, the elegant passenger steamer “Grande Duehesse,” which has been stocked with a large supply of the choicest and best eatables and drinkables. His headquarters will remain on the steamer during the campaign against Porto Rico, of which be will take personal command. Very few senators and representatives remain iu Washington. The most of the latter have gone to their districts to look ! after their “fences,” while the former, as a rule, have gone in search of cooler places. The Senate left quite a number of small military nominations—mostly captains and | lieutenants,—unacted upon, as well as a lot [.of nominations to civil offices. Some were [ not acted upon because of lack of time, but the most of them were hung up because of objection to them by some senator. The announcement of the democratic senators that that their constitutional objections to the House bill allowing volunteer soldiers in camp to vote for congressmen were such that they would fee! justified m resorting to any sort of tactics to prevent the bill being passed by the Senate, was sufficient to prevent any serious attempt being made to take the bill up previous to adjournment. Just to find out whether the democrats meant business. Senator'Burrows asked fof unanimous consent to vote upon the bill, a few minutes before adjournment, and the storm of objections at once raised, convinced him that they did. The democrats objected to the bill because, like the old force bill, it recognized federal control of congressional elections, which the democratic party does

Leaving war appropriations out entirely, the other appropriations made at the session of Congress just dosed, exceed the total of any previous sessiou. The following .»tateinent is made by Representative Sayers of Texas, the ranking democratic member of the House committee on appropriations: •‘Tl*e total appropriations at the present session amount to $893,527,991. This includes $117,836,220 periinuuent appropriations and $361,788,095 for war expenses. Deducting the war expenses froth the sum total, we have $530,739,896, to be charged against the civil and ordinary expenses of the government. It should be borne in mind that no river and harbor bill has been passed. Considering this fact, the appropriations for civil and ordinary expenses of the government at this session, and exclud- | ing war expenses, exceed that of any pre- | vious session.” " Congress was too anxious to adjourn after the Hawaiian annexation resolution was adopted, to heed Senator Morgan when i he said: "There is absolutely no necessity for an adjournment' at this time; it is a ! hasty, improvident and dangerous •step.1' but, unless many are mistaken, the wisdom | of those words will be seen later. The truth of his other words—“The very moment Jtitai the treaty of peace is signed by the president and the government orf Spani, the military power of the president will cease, and the legislative branch of the government must provide a government L for any territory we may acquire by the war’—is undisputed; yet the legislative body cannot meet again until next December, unless called together by Mr. McKinley in extra session. The report of the Senate committee on claims, which investigated by instructions of a Senate resolution, the disposition of the money paid to the Southern Methodist book concern for a war claim, was not intended to be a hutaoivus document, but many have so regarded it. It starts out by absolving the church from all blame and then proceeds to make scapegoats of E. 3. Stahlman, the attorney who got 35 per cent of the claim, and Messrs, JJarbee and Smith, agents for the book concern, because they led these very innocent senators to believe that no fee was to be paid oat of this claim. There may be senators who believe that men devote their time to lobbying any bill, no matte* what its nature may be, through Congress without expecting pay for their services, but there are certainly no other persons iu Washington who believe that way.

Hicks, the weather prophet, says the following of July: About the 3d and 4th will center a very warm wave with low baromelor. and many summer storms. The last half of June and most of July will fall in a Venus equinoctial period. From the 7th to the 11th fails a regular storm period. During this period another very warm wave will pass over the land and numerous blustering electrical storms will occur. As a rule cooler weather will follow the storms of each period, and fair weather with increasing warmth will open the periods. Govern vour husiiiess plans accordingly and you will be gainer. Reactionary disturbance will lie central about the 14th to 16th. The 16th to 23d constitutes a marked regular storm period central on the 2tith. Storms as a rule form in the west during the first naif of the periods and make their transit across the country eastward during the last half. On or next to the 26th or 27th look for warmer, low barometer and reactionary disturbances. A regular storm period is eentral on SLrfT The combined Venus and Mercury ppnods in July wiil intensify the natural tendency to great heat.
