Comments of the Press.

BROOK REPORTER. The Rensselaer Democrat is on our table. It is neat typographically, newsy, and its editors have shown their ability in the first issue. While not of their political faith, we wish the best of luck to our Bros, and we have no doubt they will succeed in the enterprise and keep to the front with a first class newspaper. KENTLAND DEMOCRAT. No. 1 of Vol. 1 of the Rensselaer Democrat, with Shields & Dilley as publishers, reached our tables last Friday. The Democrat is a bright and newsy paper and of the several journals in that city, is the only democratic one. KOUTS RECORD. Rensselaer has a new democratic paper, with Shields & Dilley as editors and publishers. It will support the Chicago platform, and we hope the Democrat will have unbounded success. MOROCCO COURIER. The Rensselaer Democrat, the new paper recently started in that city, reached our exchange table for the first time last Saturday. It is s good little paper and we wish it abundant success. We are in receipt of a copy of the Rensselaer Democrat, the new democratic paper started in that city. The paper is clean mechanically and is ably edited by Shields & Dilly. Baring its politics, we see no reason why it should not reach a high condition of prosperity, —Goodland Herald.

The Monon Road Case.

The complications in the Monon Macadam road case have somewhat increased since our last notice. On the 9th day of March, John C. Lowe filed before the commissioners a motion to dismiss all proceedings. This- motton the Board refused to entertain. From this action of the Board an appeal was taken to the Circuit court, the papers and transcript being filed with the clerk on April 19th. This leaves a case pending in the White Circuit court as well as one' in the Supreme court. In the meantime, Seasongodd & Meyer, who contracted for the bonds subject to approval, have been advised by their attorney not to take the bonds until all litigation was disposed of. They have returned the transcript and papers, and notified the treasurer to that effect. If no other parties can be found who are willing to take them, all work is blocked for at least a year.—White County Democrat.

Remington Items.

Rev. Austin of Rensselaer, delivered an able discourse at the Christian church last Sunday afternoon, to a full house. James Welsh, a former teacher of this town, was seen on our streetsJMpnday. The war spirit of town of Remington, will compare favorably with any town of its size. Many of our young men have decided to go to the front in behalf of Cuba Libre, and to avenge the destruction of our battleship Maine and her excellent seamen upon the next call of the President sot more troops. George Winters, who has been dangerously ill for the past four or five weeks is not improving as his friends would desire to see. Our merchants complain of business being very dull about town which doubtless is occasioned by the farmers being busily engaged with their spring work. The boys of the Remington High school are making thorough preparations for the coming Field Day sports at the close of the term. Edward Warren and family of Rensselaer, were the guests of Ira W. Yeoman last Saturday and Sunday. Claude Townsend and ’ Steve Yeoman are the proud possessors of new 1898 bicycles. Els worth Shroer, Chas. Elmore, Chas. Murphy, Simon Marquess, Joseph Keeley, Harvey Stoudt and Chas. Pefley, and others of Remington’s young men have gone to Monticello to enlist under the President’s first call for troops and if they are accepted will proceed at once to the front. There is no division in the mind of the people of the United States on the great question of war, which now confronts them. They are all patriots. This is as it should be. In union there is strength. ! Truth and Justice-
