The Hail Is sold in the city by newsboys and all newsdealers, or will be delivered to any address, by mall, at the rate of |3 a year, fl for six months, or 90 cents for three months.
Entered at the Postoffice at Terr® Haute, Ind. as second-class matter.
IN July a contented mind will save a palm leaf fan.
Is conceding valor and desperation to the Spanish fighters we only enhance the glory of our own men.
THE large proportion of our gallant officers on the mortality list at Santiago fchows that the honor roll is also the danger list.
No MORK gallant knight appears in the pages of old Froissart than "Teddy" Roosevelt. He is a splendid example of young American manhood.
A MAX that links his name to the Fourth of July Is forever famous. As long as the day is celobrated the heroes of Vicksburg, Gettysburg and Santiago will be remembered.
THE roar large cruisers in Cevera's squadron, each of 7,000 tons, were a little larger than the Maine. The Maine has been avenged but is not yet paid for in full.
Eubopkan critics have talked of the lack of discipline in the American navy. Our navy seems to have some admirable substitute for what Europeans call discipline.
Since the Maine was sunk nineteen or more Spanish vessels have been sent to "Davy Jones' locker" or burned. If the Spanish had sunk two of our vessels their fleet would have been reduced by this time to a raft.
TIIK Hawaiian republic, gem. of the Pacific, and key to great cross roads of navigation, at last becomes ours. Let the name of Stevens, so much maligned by the Cleveland clique, be celebrated by a noble memorial at Honolulu.
TIIK king of Spain little thought when he gave George Washington a blooded jack that the descendants of that noble animal would haul siege guns up the hills of Santiago for an American army. It now appears that though he gave us the animal Spain kept its obstinacy.
ON the first Fourth of July Americans hoped they might be able to preserve the control of the thirteen states along the Atlantic coast. On the last Fourth the American flags were flying atSantiagoand Manilla, with pearly half the world between them. Only one other nation has carried its flag farther, but its drum beats follow the sun around the globe.
addle-pated correspondent of a daily paper thinks that Sampson and Shafter were sent to Santiago to save some iron mines for Carnegie. It would be just as rational to say that the war was designed to advertise our ship builders and armor plate makers, for Europe is going to buy our ships and armor after the war. By the way. the Carnegie armor seems to wear pretty well.
Tjir Spanish government is quite religious. When it sent a force to occupy the Caroline Islands a few years ago it sent with it .six Catholic priests and commenced at once to crowd out the American missionaries who had worked on the islands for thirty-five years and established hundreds of churches. The Americans will send no priests or parsons with their expeditions but will open the doors to all creeds.
Wu are reading almost daily of loss by battle on land and sea but doubtless the worst of it has sent no such chill to the heart as the disaster to La Bourgogne when about six hundred helpless men, vromen and children were waked from their sleep to find sudden death in the sea by some one's awful blunder. It was a roll of (load longer than that of many a furious battle. It is wonderful that with all of the improvements in ship building the most appalling accidents have occurred almost as often in late years as long ago.
Anotukr "crowning mercy," as Cromwell wou .d have called it, fell to the American arms, on another Sunday. The destruction of the Manila squadron and of Cevera's were both Sunday victories, and considering how much they will contribute to the advance of civilisation, humanity and protestanism, it hardly can be denied that Sampson's and Dewey's men were doing more for mankind and the spread of Christianity than the thousands who were being prayed and sung over in comfortable pews in cool and pleasant churches. Also it-eannot be denied that the people at home ought to havp been at church.
A PtAtx workingman lately said. "This is no tin necessary war. it was gotten up for the bondholder*." A man who hold? aoch a view cannot share the generous pride felt by so many for the glorious position before the world now occupied by the United State# a* the friend and liberator of enslaved peoples. When Cuba is free, ruled by its own people, relieved of the oppressive taxation and misrule of Spain, advancing in civilisation and prosperity, and offering its grateful thanks to this country, such a man can say only, "you hate nothing to thank as for—we not fight for humanity, nor spend half a billion for liberty and good government—
it was for the bondholders." Such a man does not condemn the government only but he insults the intelligence and manhood of the great masses of Americans, for if he is right they are fools. Cuba ought to be free, all admit, but many, like McKinley, looked for some other way than war to save it, but they know more about Spain than they did, and as they watch the desperate struggle of that weakened power to maintain the grasp which has been tightening for four hundred years they realize that nothing but war can make Cuba free. It is not necessary to condemn or abuse the men who assert that this unselfish war, this crusade for liberty and Christianity, is only a mercenary conspiracy. They are to be pitied for the obliquity of their mental vision, for their inability to share in the pride and satisfaction felt by the majority of Americans as the yoke is lifted from enslaved races. The flag which shines more brightly than ever, glowing in the light of freedom, humanity and fraternity, looks dim and faded to the dull eyes of the slanderers of their fellow countrymen, This war was the result of a national enthusiasm. It was precipitated, perhaps a few weeks or months too soon, by the rage over the Maine. All the bondholders in the world could not have stopped the war, nor caused it. It was the death of a few hundred poor sailors, not the wishes of a few thousand rich men, which started this war. The workingman ought to know that the bondholder, by which is meant any man able to own bonds, was assailed a year ago for being opposed to the war. Rich or large busi ness men are always the last to vote for tr. We say that the men who were not bondholders, bankers, or rich, forced this war upon the government. Let us not take our views from men who hold the narrowest and meanest views of mankind but let us go to the soldiers and sailors and take their view of duty to nation and mankind. The men who held the hill at Guantanamo, who climbed San Juan who captured Cervera, do not call this a bondholders' war, nor dare we insult and degrade them by calling them the hirelings of bondholders.
Tiik cable rates from Jamaica are about $1.15 a word, Porto Rico $1.85, and China $1.00. This may account for the parsi monious manner in which our command era dole out dispatches, while we are surprised by the freedom with which news paper correspondents serve up adjectives and other unnecessary words. We will get to the bargain counter when we take Havana, as the rate from it is only forty cents a word. Speaking of parsimony however, Commodore Sampson holds the record for putting a great deal of interesting news into a short dispatch. He took only eleven lines to tell of the destruction of $18,000,000 worth of ships and the capture of 1,800 seamen and an admiral.
There is one little maxim That now I will name, Which may bring what is better
Than riches or fame. All those who will heed it Good appetite find, Strong nerves, rosy cheeks,
And vigor of mind. It will banish dyspepsia, Rheumatics and gout, That Tired Feeling conquer,
Drive scrofula out. And here is the maximIts wisdom is sureTake Hood's Sarsaparilla
And keep your blood bure.

TERBJS HAUTE SATUBDAY EVENING MAIL, JULYi9, 1898.
D. L. Watson, Republican candidate for county clerk, has the most unique card that has ever been introduced into local politics. It is in the shape -of a match box, inscribed with the announcement of the'candidacy of the donor, and also the legend, "Vote for Grandpa." When opened the sentence is disclosed, "Scratch these any old way, but don't scratch Grandpa."
The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to care in all its stages and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address, F. J.

The Perils of a Critic.
Robert Southey was saved from the danger into which his vocation as a critic threw him only by his anonymity. At one time he found it necessary in reviewing a book written by a native of the Emerald Isle to treat it with unwonted severity. In conversing of this book and the incompetence of its writer with a literary friend one day the author, a gigantio Irishman, entered the room in a great rage, vowing vengeance against the remorseless critic. Standing very near the critic, he raised his huge fist and exclaimed, "And if I knew who it was I'd bate him!" Mr. Southey observed a profound silence and quietly retired, reserving his laugh for a less hazardous occasion.
Tony Faust Beer. (\h
The finest beer ever placed before the public is the celebrated Tony Faust beer, produced by the Anheuser-Busch association of St. Louis. This celebrated beer has been placed before the Terre Haute public by Wm. Voges, at Oak Hall, where it is on draught at all times. This beer is recognized by all connoisseurs as the finest beer offered to the public, and Mr. Voges is having a great run on It.

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