Lewis Nixon recently remarked that the democratic factions are coming together, and to tne unprejudiced observer it looks as if they are coming together—head on News of the Spanish coronation is crowding that from England. It is reported that young King Alfonso will wear fifty-two different uniforms during his coronation week. General strikes throughout the country have been largely averted this year by increases in the wage scales. Work is plentiful and both sides can afford to make concessions.

Partisanship that bliuds the eyes to the valor, pluck, humanity and kindness of the American soldier at the same time tells the world that American bravery and self sacrifice in the field is dishonored and dis credited at home.

An ambitious go-between tried to arrange a conference between Attorney General Knox and the meat packers who illegally entered the beef trust, but Mr. Knox would not see them as he did not care to temporize with law breakers under trial.

The alleged Filipino cruelties are no worse than the outrages perpetrated in North Carolina in 1898, under democratic auspices, in the infamous “red-shirt” campaign to ►care the negroes into voting with the democrats. Congressional investigate a proved this in both instances.

Secretary Shaw has issued regulations for the inspection of baggage in response to a petition protesting against the way the law was enforced. All who desire private examination of their effects may have it whenever the steamship companies provide a suitable place. Several of the companies have promised to make this provision.

Last week ex-Speaker Reed sat in the supreme court at Washington listening to the delivery of an opinion, in which the sentiments expressed so pleased the big Maine man that he,clapped his hands in approval. The sound of his own hands within those sacred precincts made him realize that applause was out of place and he looked very crestfallen.

The answer filed by the railway merger shows that freight rates have been reduced since the formation of the Northern Securities Company and that the economy in management is necessary to enable American roads to compete with the Canadian railway in its through water route to the Orient. The contest is for world trade rather than for that of this country.

John Kendrick Bangs, humorist, has proved himself able, like Mark Twain, to be serious under the right inspiration. In his new book, “Uncle Sam, Guardian” he tells of the occupancy of Cuba. “Uncle Sam found Cuba unhealthy and leaves her healthy; found her without charities and hospitals and leaves with a wellestablished system; found her without schools and leaves her with good school laws and principles; found beggars and an empty treasury; leaves the island without beggars and with a reserve of f 1,500,000. The carpetbagger, for the first time in history, has been held in subjection and eyery penny of the trust administered for the benefit of the ward.”

One of the most remarkable instances of arobatics is seen in the recent performance of Senator Teller in appealing for the support of the Democrats from the State of Colorado in the coming election. One of the most ardent Republican protectionists in the country, prior to the coming of the silver fallacy, clear minded, progressive, constructive, how can Mr. Teller now justify his course in casting his lot with the party which favors low tariff, if not free trade, obstruction, and retrogression? But the.question is, do the Democrats themselves want him? Everything to his credit which Senator Teller ever did was accomplished as a Republican and in connection with the Republican party. While he has promptly appealed to the Democrats to select him to succeed himself in case they are successful in electing a legislature, it is by no means certain that they will not prefer some genuine Democrat to represent them in the Senate. It is bo be hoped, however, that the Republicans will themselves organize the legislature, and send a true-blue Republican to the Senate to represent the Centennial State as faithfully as did Senator Teller before his desertion of party and principle. ; fatei,J k&iitstrri *y 1.•. v ■ / ■ /

Read Lee’s gift offer on another page. Mrs. M. A. Marshall, of Illinois, is visiting her sous here. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Wni. Arnott, of McCoysburg, Sunday. Mrs. Sam Roth has returned from a visit with her parents at Mulberry. Mrs. Fletcher Mon nett, of Evanston, 111., is the guest of relatives here. Keep your eye on McCoysburg and Lee’s lumber and hardware business. It grows. Uncle Ad Parkison, who has been confined to his home with sickness, is able to be up again. Judge U. Z. Wiley, of the appellate court, will deliver the memorial day address in Kentland. Ten per cent under other yards and an extra 3 per cent in the 30 day gift offer. See first page. Lee is the man. “Hoopty-Doodle” Powell was taken to Kentland Saturday for trial this week, which again left the jail empty. Hoopty-Doodle Powell was discharged from the custody of the court Monday, on promise to keep away from Brook, his former home. G: A. Williams has been secured to deliver the memorial address instead ofJesse E. Wilson as previously announced. Mrs. Press Hemphill and son departed for Garden City, Kans., their future home, Tuesday, to which place Mr, Hemphill preceeded them some months ago. In Dowie’s great city of Zion, there is but one lumber yard, and to-day they are retailing No. 1 hemlock piece stuff at sl6 per 1000, the only place on earth where they are so cheap ex. cept at Lee’s yard, at McCoysburg. Miss Lida Wigmore, of Monticello, who was injured in the Claypool building at Indianapolis last fall by stepping into the elevator shaft, was awarded a verdict of $4,000 last week for her injuries.

Seventeen years ago Judge Thompson, of Rensselaer, was in the state senate and at that time the land that Lee Templeton now owns in Newton county was state swamp land and sold at 17 cents an acre. For 8 years previous to the time Mr. Templeton acquired this land the then owner paid only SIBO taxes on the 6000 acres. Now Mr. Templeton pays SI9OO tax on the same land and its improvements and the land is actually worth S6O an acre and steadily increasing in value. Mr. Templeton has done wonders in that northern realm —Fowler Republican.

“If you want to down the beef trust,” said a man who is engaged in the fruit trade, “don’t eat meat. Eat bananas instead. I’m not joking; I am serious. The banana as a staple article of food has long been neglected by citizens of our zone. It may surprise you to know that the banana is the king pin of the vegetable world so far as nutrition is concerned. It is 25 times as nutritions wheat of the same weight, has 45 times the nutriment of potatoes and thirty times that of rice, the three staple vegetable products of the world. These figures are ihe result of scientific investigation. It is time we turn our attention to the banana We might profitably take a few lessons in preparing it for the table from our southern neighbors.”
