MAIL.

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

A. C. DUDDLESTON, Editor and Proprietor.

Publication Office, No. 501 !4 Ohio Street. Telephone 468.

The Mail is sold in the city by newsboys and all newsdealers, or will be delivered to any address, by mail, at the rate of £2 a year, 81 for six months, or 50 cents for three months

Entered at the Postoffice at Terre Haute, Ind., as second-class matter.

THE Spanish naval officers were at a "ball the night before Dewey treated them to a few red hot balls.

THE pneumatic dynamite guns go off with a sound like a cough and then it is coffins for the Spanish.

THE Klondikers who escape freezing to death next winter can go to oar Philippine mines next summer and try roasting

COL. W. J. BRYAN appears to be looking for an issue to be substituted for free silver. The Democrats also will be looking for a substitute for him.

ADMIRAL DEWKY has been made by an enterprising Illinois college an L. L. D. If he is not a very learned doctor of law, he is at least a Larruper of Lying Dons.

WE do not admire Spanish guerillas nor guerilla warfare, but all the same the United States is arming Cuban guerillas. We cannot always pick and choose in war time.

THOSE Democratic leaders who already are thinking of how to pull down the American flags that the army and navy are engaged in planting will find fewer followers than they are expecting.

JOSEPH LKITEH,after helping the farmer to market the old crop was ruined by the prospective new crop, but many a farmer has been saved from having to sell old wheat at the price of new by Mr. Leiter.

THE Kansas Democrats have been allowed the lieutenant governor only on the fusion ticket. Bryanism is doing the Kansas Democracy lots of good. Once it was the dog and now it iB a tail, a mere bob-tail.

WK get the words "barbarous" and "barbarity" from Barbary, the home of the old Moorish pirates and slavers. Some Of the Moorish blood is in the Spanish and also some of the barbarity. The Spanish must go.

THE rush for the three per cent, bonds by the people shows that the people believe that it Is right to pay interest for borrowed money and expect the principal and interest to be paid in good money, as good as gold.

IT is to be hoped Stephen Crane was right, and that the Spaniards did not mutilate the dead marines, but history is agaiust them. In their home war Spaniards have chopped each other to pieces with incredible ferocity.

EACH recurring commencement at the Rose Polytechnic Institute proves anew the solidity and breadth of the foundations of this great school, the efficiency of its system of culture and the value to a young man of its instruction. So admirable is its training and so successful its graduates that wo wonder why Terre Haute youug men leave so much room for students from abroad.

ONE of the brainiest and most brilliant men in congress is a man from Indiana, Henry U. Johnson, of Richmond. He is at the same tltno one of the most erratic men in public life, and it is doubtful whether he ever correctly represented the sentiment of his people exeept as regards the cardinal principles of the party. This week he made a most brilliant speech in congress in opposition to the annexation of Hawaii, and hurled enough invective against it to sink the most powerful battleship. It is safe to say that if Mr. Johnion had lived in the periods named he would have been just as strongly opposed to the IiOUisiana purchase, the acquisition of Texas, or the purchase of Alaska. As

Mr. Dolliver, of Iowa, observed, Mr. Johnson's speech was more calculated to bring applause from the galleries than to make votes, and it was demonstrated, for the annexation bill passed the house by a vote of 905 to 91, many Democrats voting ior the bill and but three Republicans against it. ______

Col* W. J. BRYAN already has adopted a new issue for the next campaign with himself at the front, by his speech at Omaha, in which he condemned the acquisition of territory by conquest from Spain. This spcech was a welcome relief from the monotony which has pervaded Bryan's speeches and shows that he can harp on more than one string. While not accepting his position The Mail does not attack Mr. Bryan for differing in his views about the acquisition of Porto Rico and the Philippines. The future foreign policy of thin country, whatever conrse it may take. Is going to be the subject of ranch debate And widely opposed views. The departure from our former policy of nonintervention in foreign affairs may be fraught with such great consequences and responsibilities that it oui?ht to be thoroughly discussed and it will be. It Is to be expected that many will shrink from the acceptance of the responsibilities and possible burdens of foreign possessions and that others will be ready to snatch at them without weighing the cost and profit. Bat the United States when it declared against Spain realised that it was accepting responsibilities and risks that were not yet defined, and that the war might be the beginning of an entirely new era which would Involve new policies. It

voluntarily thrust its neck into a yoke I which it may never be able to shake off, nor with the plea that it could not foresee what was coming. The United States can be no surer of abandoning Spanish territory than Great Britian was of leaving

Egypt which it reluctantly occupied and has continued to control, although Gladstone and many others would have gladly relinquished it. We have opened agate that we never may be able to close with safety or honor. We have aright to keep it open for our safety, and honor may compel it, for the United States cannot return the Phillipines to Spain, nor abandon them to anarchy and. insurrection, and has no more right to give them away or to sell them than to keep them. It owes good government to every dispossessed Spanish colony, even if it has to be the governor.

HOOSIER SOLDIERS.

A Mall Correspondent Tells of the Features of Camp Life. Special Correspondence of The Mall, if

CAMP RUSSELL A. ALGER, June 14.—The boys of the One Hundred and Fifty-ninth Indiana, and especially Company B, are fast becoming hardened to soldiership, and many a task that seemed like hardship in the start has settled down now to a mat-ter-of-fact duty. Those who imagine that soldiering, even in a peaceful camp, is an easy life will, after inspecting the following hours of duty, come to the conclusion that there is no time left "to look for a steady job."

By far the most popular calls on the schedule are the mess calls and the recalls from drills. In speaking of the mess call, I might say that the fare is like the mess call—always the same. For instance, our fare for four or five days at a stretch will be as follows: For breakfast we have bacon, the hardest of hard tack and the blackest of the cheapest black coffee for dinner reverse this order,-and for supper play checkers with the menu, and there you have it again. If some of our mothers, wives or sweethearts could see how we live, I believe all of us to a man would rise higher in their estimation. However, come what may, let it be said right here that not a man in Company raises a protest. We came out for the purpose of becoming soldiers and our lot must of necessity be a hard one.

The camp of the One Hundred and Fiftyninth regiment is off to the southwest about five miles from the entrance to Camp Alger, and it is generally conceded that our location is the best in the entire camp. The water supply which }n the beginning was inadequate has been increased some by the sinking of wells. Company B, and Company D, of Washington, becoming desperate for water for drinking and washing purposes, set about digging their own well and, after four days' hard work, struck a good vein of water at a depth of forty feet. This regiment has constructed a swimming pool, and we are all enjoying the luxury of spring water baths. The first lad to try the pool after it was constructed exclaimed, '"Hully gee, fellows, it's colder than winter in Klondike." To say the pool is appreciated would hardly express it. If cleanliness is next to Godliness, then Company will certainly be in the front rank.

Last Saturday night and Sunday Company was on outpost duty, and it was a relief from the usual routine. Each man carried his blanket and rations for five meals. The stretch of country aeBigned to us was about as wild and the woods as dense as could be imagined. One would hardly expect to see such a country this near the seat of our government. Once in awhile you strike a pleasant spot. It's not to be wondered at that Horace Greeley advised all young men to go west, etc.

The natives hereabout are the slowest people one would find in many along day. Corporal Boggs declares the other day while purchasing a quart of milk from a countrywoman that the milk actually soured while she was pouring it out, it took her so long.

In the opinion of your correspondent the only claim this part of the country has in being on the map is, that of the historical interest attached. Our regiment is encamped on the grounds owned by Mr. T. Campbell, who formerly lived in Terre Haute. Part of the house in which Lord Fairfax lived is still standing and stands in the rear of the Campbell residence. It may be of interest to your readers to know that the scenes of "A Virginia Courtship," the beautiful play presented by W. H. Crane were located in the old Fairfax residence and in this community.

In East India It is said the daily greeting is "How Is your belly." This custom and greeting is being adopted by the 169th, and brought up-to-date is "How is your belly and your arm." Every man has been vacinated and "glass arms" are to be found in every part. Speaking of glass arms our ball team from the 159th wiped up the drill ground with a nine from Kansas Sunday. I understand the Kansas players got mixed up in their whiskers while running the bases.

Privates Charles W. Dnerson, Edward Baldridge and William H. Tiencke of Co. B, have been transferred from the regimental hospital to the corps hospital.

Private Oscar Leek is slowly recovering froin a severe sick spell. The general condition of the health of the men is good.

Several boxes of cigars were received to-day from E. H. Wilvert and to say the boys enjoyed them would hardly express it. Mr. Wilvert was voted a royal good fellow and his kind and gracious words and best wishes will be long remembered. The members of Company Bare all men. who were unfortunately born without gold spoons in their mouths and consequently we do not receive the hampers of good things from home like some of the other companies and this little act of Mr. Wilvert"# takes the boys back to the "Banks of the Wabash" and make them feel more cheerful. The Y. SI. C. A. have established quarters here in the 190th and song services are held every evening and Sunday school at S p. m. Reading and writing material is on hand in abundance. The Y. M. C. A. tent is a popular piaoe

The rules and regulations governing military lifS" as promulgated by the articles of war seemed almost intolerable at first but our boys quickly understood that obedience to rules, however harsh they may be, is the first thing that goes to make up a good soldier, and Captain Biegler when the war is over can justly say that his men were not lacking in this one essential feature. Capt. Biegler, Lieut. Thomas and Dudley have the confidence and respect of every man in the command.

The 159th has been thoroughly equipped and can now go to the front as soon as called. Col. Barnett being a regular army officer brings our regiment more prominently before the war department.

The different members of the Indiana congressional delegation at Washington are constant callers.

The Stranger in Terre Hatite. Strangers usually say that Terre Haute is a pretty city. Its streets and sidewalks are so well paved, it is so full of shade trees, and green grass covers so many yards and borders so much sidewalk, that the city looks fresh, neat and thrifty. There was a time when the lawns and yards were brown and dusty most of the summer. Since the advent of the sprinkler there has been a change. More sod is used since it can be kept fresh. Everyone who keeps his own yard fresh and green bensfits the city, but the dusty, rusty yard is a drawback to the general comfort. The Water Works Company makes anew rate for sprinklers that will encourage their use for the balance of the summer.

One Would Hardly Think That a2 article used as often as a city directory would be one of the cheapest things used in an office. It really costs Jess than a cent a day. It is always on duty (unless borrowed by your neighbor who never assists any public enterprise.) It gives you the correct spelling of names, tells if parties own the property in which they live gives every occupation and business. Anew city map will be included in the city directory.

these days. Mrs. Leiter, of Washington, is also doing much to relieve the hardships of the soldiers' life.

The Ladies' W. C. T. U. have sent to each regiment a number of little cloth bags containing needles, thread, pins, soap, buttons, etc. It's no crime to be sentimental and I want to say right here that no country on the face of the globe has* such patriotic gentlewomen as this great country of ours. Everywhere a soldier goes, in every hamlet, town, city and in the country, he gets a kind word and greeting from the women. God bless them all!
