Will there be a thorough investigation of affairs in Cuba? Will there be? * The Press of this city is kicking on several of its candidates for nomination to county blfice because they are not “runners.” The “bosses*’ must rule.

The carpet baggers from the United States sent to Cuba to instill new ideas of honesty and reform into the natives it seems fell far short of their mission. Hanna and McKinley should send over another batch. . The war department has no -official record of Filipinos that have been killed. It is not considered proper by any nation to keep tally on the death dealing work of its armies. But the best informed unofficial authorities place the number at not more than our own losses from all causes. Major Rathbone, former director general of posts of Cuba, is coming back to the United States. What is the war department going to do with the major? The major says h«|Jwill not be arrested for the shortcomings of the republican postal officials in Cuba. _' It is a curious illustration of American political methods that Senator Hanna is bringing pressure to bear upon himself to accept the chairmanship of the republican national committee. and Gov. Roosevelt is trying to bring it to bear on himself to refuse the nomination for the vicepresidency. Senator Morgan said in the senate that the responsibility"for the failure of the Nicaraguan Canal bill must be borne by two men, who will probably insist that the campaign funds, contributed by the Panama Canal and the railway combine in order to prevent the canal, shall not be cut otY. This is-speaking out with a vengeance.

In answer to a question as to when he thought that the Philippine war would be over*. ex-Speaker Reed has answered: “Over where?” The speaker is still bitterty opposed to imperialism and the purchase of “yellow bellies at a head,” and points to the Cuban scandals as proof that his 0 misgivings on the subject were true. The solicitude of the Republicans lest the Boer delegates may lose the power of aiding their nation by undue familiarity with the Democrats, is one of the most touching things that -ever was. How they can ai<3 their country by adherence to the Republican President, who has flatly declared that he can do nothing for them, is not explained? Speaker Henderson is credited with having killed the Root army bill, on the ground that the increase of the artillery, although very necessary, would be unpopular, and that the administration cannot afford to take such risks. Next session, he says, the party can pass it. As usual, it appears that the republicans have not the courage of their convictions. The republicans of Marion township will hold a convention Saturday. There is a big1 squabble over who shall >.be nominated for office. The bosses / of Petersburg have taken a hand in the matter, as usual, which means that the democratic candidates will be elected by handsome majorities. |; The “bosses” are looking forward to election of one of its number as bounty superintendent. The republicans of Marion are all torn up and badly mixed.

The democratic judicial and representative conventions to nominate candidates for the Dubois and Pike county districts were held at Otwell on last Thursday. The judicial convention was called to order by George Wilson, ang Richard Milburn of Dubois county, was selected as chairman and J. W. Wiggs of this county, as secretary. The names of Leo. H. Fisher of Huntingburg, and George B. Ashby of this place were presented to the convention; Dubois county voted 13 votes for Fisher and Pike gave its 13 votes to Ashby. Mr. Ashby in a short speech moved the nomination of Mr. Fisher be made unanimous. Mr. Fisher then addressed the convention. The meeting then adjourned. The representative convention was called to order and Robert Mi Gray of Otwell, selected as chairman and George Wagner of Jasper, as secretary. The name of Dr. Peter L. Coble of Dubois was presented. There being no other candidates he was nominated8by acclamation. Both gentlemen are well qualified for the positions to which they have been nominated and will be elected by large majorities at the November election. Now it is reported that there are a number of clerks in the Washington city iKwtoftice who have been drawing double salaries for alleged work in Cuba and Porto Rico, although they have never been out of the city and have nothing to do with Cuban and Porto Rican offices. They were appointed, it is said, to sinecures at the time when the Havana and San Juan offices were branches of the Washington office. Will the scandal that started with additional salaries to army officers never end? This Pike countv democrats have no more showing in a joint convention with Dubois county than a bobtail bull in fiv time. Dubois democracy is wonderful to behold.- Petersburg Press.

If we are not mistaken Pike county republicans had but little show in the joint senatorial convention with Vanderburg county. Col. Thompson was the candidate and he got beautifully left. There is now talk of the “coloner’ being the nominee for joint representative of the republicans of Pike and Dubois counties. Pike republicans can outvote the Dubois republicans. Secretary Hay has sent a note to Abdul which can only be described as real rude, although it is declared not to be an ultimatum. The department ingeniously explains that if an ultimatum is not satisfactorily answered, nothing is left but force, and well, the Secretary has not yet given up all hopes of success by means of his “splendid diplomacy.” Taylor is now running in other states, but he expects to return and run in Kentucky for governor after a time, if he can get that indictment quashed. Exposed the Sham. Congressman De Armond's exposure of the sham anti-trust bill introduced in the House by the republicans as a grand-stand play for the purposie of fooling the public was so complete and conclusive that the trick reacts on its originators. The American people will undoubtedly be more certain than ever that no honest legislation against the trusts can be exp4|ted of the republican party* The best that the followers of Mark Hanna are capable of doing in their condition of absolute servitude to the trusts is to attempt just such bunko games as was contained in the measure which failed to phss the House last Friday—bogus efforts intended only to bring campaign benefit to the republican party without in the slightest degree menacing the trusts.

The significant fact that certain honest republicans shared Mr. De Armond’s view of the- bill in question, and w^re, therefore, unable to give it their support, adds to the proof of the trickery which lay in that measure. Representative McCall of Massachusetts was especially frank in his condemnation, declaring that the proposed constitutional amendment could be used to destroy labor organizations and that it was advisable for congress to use the power alrea<% at its disposal for the restriction of trusts before seeking a dangerous amendment of the constitution. It may be that an attempt will still be made by republican orators and party organs to manufacture campaign material out of the failure of the House to pass the bogus anti-trust bill. Should this be done, the, people will be found fully posted as to the real meaning of that incident. All that has been accomplished by this belated trick is, ^s stated, but a more complete exposure of the hollow mockery of the republican sham of opposition to the syndicates, a masquerade assumed exclusively for campaign purposes. —St. Louis Republic: To Cure La Grippe in 24 Hours.

Judge W. F. Townsend. Judge Townsend, who was born and | raised in Marion township and for the | first fifteen years a resident of Vin-! cennes, has tooved to Spokane, Washington. Bis many friends in this county will wish him -a prosperous life in his new home. The following is from the Vincennes Commercial: | Tomorrow, (Saturday), Judge Wm. j F. Townsend and family will take their departure for Spokaue, Wash- j ington. They will stop at Horton,! Kansas, to vigit relatives, and will then proceed to their new home in the northwest!. We know that we voice the sentiments of all the best people of the city, when we say that the departure of Judge Townsend and his excellent family will be universally regretted. They have greatly endeared themselves to the people of Vincennes who would have been glad to see them remain here for life. But they are compelled to seek a different climate benefit of the health of Judge Townsend and of his eldest daughter.' Few families in the city were ever more popular than W. F. Townsend, his good wife and their interesting children. They have a lovely home1 and a^e “surrounded with friends and j enjoy aB^the comforts of life and they regret to leave the city. As the hour for departure comes to meet them the sorrow at leaving becomes deeper and it will be with real sadness they will say farewell to Vincennes and their friends. Yet while we all will grieve over their departure, we feel certain that Mr. Townsend and his estimable family will soon wm new friends in their new home at^lpokane. Bright prospects are before Judge Townsend, in the new field of labor and we feel sure that he will soon be recognized as one of the leading attorneys and one of the most distinguished orators of the ffrpat mtrthwpiit

Judge Townsend's going is a loss to the city. He is a man who has always been active in the city's interest. In every thing^that was for the upbuilding of education and for the general good of Vincenness his earnest assistance was always given. He is a man who is loved and respected for his nobleness of character, his brilliant intellect, his sterling worth, and his great eloquence. His Life Was Saved. Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonderful deliverance from a frightful death. In telling of it he says: “I was taken with typhoid fever, that ran into pneumonia. My lungs became hardened. I was so weak I coudn’t even sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I expected to soon die of consumption, when I heard of Dr. King's New Discovery. One bottle gave great relief. I continued to use it, and now am well and strong, I can'tllsay too much in its praise.” This marvelous medicine is the surest and quickest cure in the world for all throat and lung trouble.

The supreme and appellate courts have more cases on their dockets now than they had a year ago. They begin their May terms next Monday. The total of undecided cases now on the supreme court docket is 473, against, 303 last year. During the year now closing 278 new appeals were filed and the court finally determined and decided 208 cases. The total of undecided cases on the appelate court docket.is 341), as against 308 last year. During the year 323 new appeals werg* filed and the court decided 304. The? supreme court fell 110 cases behind its docket and the appellate court gained 41.

Because of their peculiar habits all should make a practice of using some simple laxative.*’ There is no laxative so simple, so pleasant to take and yet so potent as Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
