water works and has approved every sug-
gestion in that direction that held out any
reasonable prospect of success. no person
need be in doubt as to it's position on the
main issue. Public discussion and the ex
perience of many cities have settled that
in favor of municipal ownership of water
works, the only question in any case being
as to the mode of acquiring possession. the
feasibility of any particular plan and wheth-
er the terms are financially advantageous.
In this city prior consideration to all these
has been how to get around or over the
constitutional limitation on municipal in
debtedness. The plan proposed by William
B. Hord of New York, and understood to
be approved by Mayor Taggart and the
Board of Public Works, seeks to accomplish
this by providing for a cash payment by the
city of 100000 and the balance in future
payments in the form of increased rentals
for hydrants running through long term of
years. 1t is not known whether Mr.. Hord
is authorized to speak for the company, but
if he is, the proposed plan is worth consid
ering, first as to its legality under the debt
provision and, second, as to it's feasibility
and financial advantages. The city should
not think of adopting it without a careful
investigation by a committee of good
lawyers and first-rate business men.

fight behind Notifications. with every advan-
tage of position and defenses, including
earthworks, trenches, rife pits and barbed-
wire fences. 1t remains to be seen if all
these will avail against the bravery, marks
manship and dash of the United States
troops. 1t is evidently General Skaters in
tention to bring on a decisive engagement
as soon as possible, and it is to be hoped
he may. be able to do so before the arrival
of Spanish reinforcements under General
Pando. In any event it promises to be a
hot fight, and may receive an added fea
ture of interest by Admiral Simpsons
breaking into the harbor and attacking the
Spanish squadron. There is no reason to
apprehend a disaster to our arms. but the
country should be prepared to hear of seri-

Two Soldiers.

With gallant step and flashing eye.
And swelling heart and courage high,
One marches gayly down the street
To martial music loud and sweet.
All is before him-naught he knows
OF deadly wounds from lurking fees;
Only the glory of the brave
He sees, in flags that proudly wave.
With flushing cheek and hopeful smile.
He waves has fareWells. but the while
A sudden tear all quickly dried
Shows the warm heart he cannot hide.
The other bent and old and gray.
Watches him gayly march away;
Adown the SCARED and wrnked cheek
Unbidden teardrops slowly creep.
Swiftly the years sweep back and To-
A vision of the long ago.
The same gay throng. the crowd. the cheers,
The martial airs the flags. the tears.
Himself so brave and young and strong.
one OF the noble. gallant throng;
a rude arm jostles him-and then
Back to to-day he comes again.
And nobly forcing back the cry
of longing but TO do and die
With trembling voice he weakly cheers.
And turns aside TO hide his tears
God bless the young, God bless the old.
For patriot hearts Of purest gold.
And DER them both. the noble brave,
Our Flag Of Freedom ever wave!

WASHINGTON, June 2S. = Indiana con-
gressmen received many kilograms to-day
from business houses in their respective dis
tricts asking about the war-revenue stamps.
1t has been impossible for them to obtain
information from local collectors, for the
simple reason that the collectors had no in
formation to impart beyond the statement
that they had made requisition upon the
commissioner at Washington. Taxpayers of
Indiana need not be alarmed. They will have
ar opportunity to pay their share of the war
revenue right from the start The Indiana
allotments were shipped laSt night to the
collectors in the Hoosier State and will ar
rive at their destina ton and be ready for
distribution tomorrow morning. The Treas
ury Department will have about 300, 900, COO
stamps distributed by the end of the month.
Secretary Gage says this is enough to give
everybody a moderate share, but it will take
billion stamps to stock the country it
should be. The billion point reached. it will
be an easy matter to keep the supply up.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing and
the clerical force of the internal-revenue
bureau have been working with almost SUI
perhuman energy for the last fortnight to
get the collection machinery of the war-rev-
enue law ready by the 1st of July.

The American inventor of barbed wire
probably had 10 idea that his fencing ma
terial would ever be used to retard the adj
vance of an army. 1t is to be hoped the
Spaniards, who are said to have four lines
of the dreaded fencing in front of their
Santiago rifle pits, have not been shrewd
enough to connect the metal barriers with
a powerful dynamo. However, the war

A Berlin paper publishes a letter from
Hon. Carl Schurz condemning the course of
a portion of the German press towards the
United States. "German-Americans," he
says, ARE proud of their new fatherland
and know how to appreciate it's advantages
and great.quaities. Now that war is going
on they stand with their new country. Its
friends are their friends and it's enemies
are their enemies" That is the sentiment
of all German-Americans who are fully as

Federated women have something to
learn yet. If the defeated candidate for the
presidency of the organization had been a
man she would have come gracefully for
ward when she saw defeat was inevitable
and asked that the election of her rival
be made unanimous. 1t would have hurt.
It hurts the man to have to do it, but he
feels better afterwards; besides, it keeps
him in line for Office at another time and
checks the formation of factions in the
party. But the njudicious Mrs. Breed got
mad and showed it, said she had been
insulted and ill-treated and was done with
the federation. Feeling thus, she will prob
ably go home and start an opposition So
ciety, and what will the suffering public
do then? No, the women haven't learned
the fine art of politics yet.
