Everett Field Writes From Tampa.

Tampa, Fla, June 10, 1898. Dear
Parents are still at the same
camp and do not suppose We will move
from here for at Least two weeks yet,
and when we 10 | think it will be to
Porto Rico. The Chlcago papers had
US aboard the Florida and in Cuba last
Wednesday, but the papers do not
kn5w much more about it than we do.
There is such strict censorship that a
great deal Of the reports are supposi.
ton. There were 1900 troops left
here for Cuba last Monday evening and
are probably in Cuban waters by this
time.
There were three Cuban soldiers in
oar camp yesterday. They were armed
with rifles and mache.tes. The latter
weapon. which is dangerous in close
quarters, has blade about thirty
inches long and about as wide as a
corn knife. They can cut small sized
tree down in short time, generally
two or three cuts. They leave for Cuba
today on board the Florida.
Church call has jnst sounded and the
boys are falling in ranks. l do not
think | will go as | have got to do my
washing and CORES spondence.
This is a terrible dirty place, worse
than Chickamauga. 1t is almost i'm
possible TO keep clean. There is kind
of sand and muck loan and when it is
dry the fine dust will penetrate almost
any fabric
| received the things you sent me and
they were very good. | suppose you
read the bill of fare that had laid out
for the following sunday dinner.
The boys | bunk with are all respect
able as we'll as kind and generous.
Nearly all the boys are broke as they
have not received enc cent of pay since
being mustered into the service.
have little left and some loaned out,
but | was sick and was in the hospital
two weeks and it cost me for my extra
eating while there. 1t would not have
cost me anything if | could have eaten
bareback, sowbelly and black coffee,
but when one is sick his appetite is
dainty. If | should happen TO be sick
the chaplain would attend to CORE
spondence etc. as he visits the hospital
every day
This is very hot day, the heat is
short so as to answer the rest.
Your Loving Son.

The Ft. Wayne Sentinel says the
following of the democratic nominee
for state treasurer: '"The nomina-
ton of Hon. Hugh Dougherty for
treasurer of state by the Democratic
convention Wednesday, was a
deserved tribute to the worth of
that gentleman and the distinguished
service he has rendered the demo
cratic party. Mr.. Dougherty will
prove one of the most popular and
one of the strongest nominees the
party has made in recent years. He
is a clean, honorable and cultured
gentleman, who both strengthens
and ornaments the ticket. Through
out the state, and particularly in the
northern part, Mr.. Dougherty's s
hosts of friends will feel honored in
his nomination and proud to give
him their most ardent support"

THE INTERNAL REVENUE STAMP

A. E. Nowlin, collector for sixth
district, Indiana, informs us as fol-
lows regarding the use of stamps
for the purpose of creating war
revenue:
The impression that postage
stamps can be used on checks,
drafts. ETC., is erroneous. Postage
stamps cannot be used as substl-
tute for any internal revenue stamp
unless imprinted with 81. R." on
them by this department. Such
stamps as are now on sale at the
postoffices will not do. The list
heretofore sent out should be
amended as follows:
Under documentary stamps-con-
veyance deed, instrument of writ
ing whereby realty is sold, etc.,
where consideration exceeds $IOo
and not exceeding $500, SO cents,
and for each additional $500 or
fractional part in excess of $500,
SO cents.
Under proprietary stamps-where
retail price exceeds 10 cents and not
Is cents, 38cents. Where retail
price exceeds Is and not exceeding
IS cents, sscents, and for each ad-
ditional 25 cents, So cents.

WHERE BRICK STANDS.


Abraham Lincoln Brick demon
strated himself to be politician in
his speech of acceptance at RocheS-
ter. He is for certain policies that
will surround all humanity with a
beautiful, angelic, picturesque halo
of glory but the only particular
principles of government that he
takes decided stand upon are those
that have been heretofore dictated
by the republican platform. He
will make a good republican con-
gresham, one that will don Boss
Reeds hand cuffs and sing the
praises of this monarch without
ceasing. Here is Bricks platform
"I am first of all for America and
its defenders, past and present.
81 am for that policy of tariff
which shall encourage the develop
ment of all of our slumbering
energies as well as our matchless
enterprises, and protect every strug-
CLING son of toll beneath the flag,
whether it be upon that bright,
warm isle that gems the Pacific seas
or on our native soil.
"I am for the policy that shall
give to every person that dwells be-
meath the great blue dome OF
American liberty, full free and
equal opportunity to wrest from life
such joy and prosperity as lies with
in the sun and soil of our country
81 am for that dollar than can
hold up its honest, shining face anG
say to its its maker q am proud to
know that /, too, am an American
citizen.

President Mckinley and for every
important act that has marked its
career.

served the country, broke its chains

GOD IN THIS WAR.

The Rev. D. r. Lucas, of the
Sixth Christian church, of Indian
apolis preached sermon on Sun
day in which he said:
"The Philippine islands once in
our possession, can never be for
saken by our country until they are
civilized ,christinized, educated and
enlightened. This war is Gods
call to a nation with a hundred
years of liberty to take the free
press and free gospel that have up
lifted her and give them to the
other nations of the world. For us
to now draw back would be to act
the towards part.
To civilize, christianize and edu-
cate is big undertaking and if we
consider the distance of the islands
from this continent, it must be con-
vincing proof that the reverend
gentlemen is moved wholly by
sentiment. In deciding upon such
grave national policy reason, and
reason alone should control the
acts of those authorized to act.

Public sentiment in Europe is OF
the weather cock order. AT the
outbreak of the war there was
strong talk of Intervention, provided
this country did not confne the
scene of hostilities to this side of the
ocean. But since the order for the
assembling of Watson's squadron to
strike Spain solar plexus blow
there has been a change of senti-
ment, and the European press is
complimenting our vigorous man
ner of bringing the dons to their
knees. A similar change of
opinion was brought about when
Dewey went into the submarine
business at Manila, and perhaps be-
fore the close of the war Europe
will be willing to admit that the
United States are worth recognizing
after all.

UNCLE SANS INCOME lessons.

The statement just given out of
the government receipts and ex-
penses show that the reseipts during
the present month will aggregate
S33,5oo,ooo and for the present
fiscal year about So4 500 900. The
receipts from customs are SI4,5oo,-
600, loss as compared with last
June of about $1,000, 900. For the
entire fiscal year the receipts from
customs amount to less than $780,
100000, a loss as compared with
last year of $40, 500 900. This
showing is conclusive evidence of
the utter failure of the Dingley law
as a revenue measure.

The Rochester Republican ha

The Rochester Republican has
the following to say of Congress
man Royse' "His record in con-
gress has been without spot or
blemish, and it would be so if he
should spend life time at the
national capital. The truth is, he
was turned down because he did
not have postoffices enough to sup
ply the demand, and the disappoint-
ed office seekers who feel that they
must be revenged because they are
not permitted to participate in the
spoils of party politics deliberately
slaughtered him in the house of his
friends.

Alex Hess. of Wabash, clerk of
the supreme court, is in trouble.
He has failed to turn over all the
fees of his office as the law requires
and as a consequence the state
auditor refuses to allow him his
salary. Hess has bristles on his
back. Not satisfied with placing
his family in salaried positions in
his office he is trying to steal several
thousand dollars in fees.

WAR TARIFF.

Speech of Hon. N, B.. Mccormick,
of Kansas, in the House of Repre-
sentatives, Thursday, April %, 1898.
The House being in committee Of the Whole on
the state of the Union, and having under C0nsid
Grafton the bill III. r. 1Ol0W to provide ways and
means 10 meet war expenditures
Mr.. MCCORMICK said:
Mr.. Chairman; We are all Ameri-
cans. We are, therefore, unanimously
in favor of pushing with vigor this
war with Spain to a successful termin-
alton,
Populists, silver republicans, dem
ocrats, and republicans are willing
and ready to assist our president in
this war with Spain. We will pro-
vide ample and sufficient money for
it's successful prosecution to o tri-
umphant and glorious victory, Par
ty affiliations are abandoned. We
unite as American citizens in honor
of the United States and our flag. /
have much faith in the loyalty of our
people to county and flag, notwith-
standing we may differ in many de-
tails as to conducting the affairs Of
state,
We who are on this side Of the
chamber do nos intend the republi-
cans to be more loyal to our country or
give of their substance more readily
than we.
Mr.. Chairman, this bill under con-
sideration, prepared by majority Of
the ways and means committee, and
submitted to this house, to provide
money to carry on this war was not
submitted to the minority o. that
committee, they having no opportu-
nifty to submit a report thereon. We

holding that which is right and con-
denim and oppose that which is unjust
and wrong.
In conducting this war against
cruel Spain we see party strife and
sectional differences fade away and
die the death that will know no res
direction,
Mr. Chairman, there are times in
the histry of nations when its noble
and patriotic people are moved by
noble and patriotic impulses and pur-
poses. We have reached that time in
the history Of our conntay. We re-
member our noble ship, Maine, and
her gallant crew quietly sleeping in
the harbor of Havana, when, in the
twinkllng Of an eye-a flash, a nigh
ty and laundering rour-all was lost
The testimony of this awful crime
is before the world. Then, when we
hear the cry of the starving and help
less women and children Of this brave
patriotic, and liberty loving people,
we are moved by Oristian compassion.
When we see skeletons there, thou
sands upon every land, with the ag-
onizing cries Of the living, then, and
not till then, do we realize Che realities
of Spanish warfare Of determination.
All thought Of self is lost sight Of
by the American people, and we 20
to the rescue Of that perishing popu-
lation, now almost wasted away under
Spanish cruelty, IN view Of creating a
new commonwealth where the flag Of
free and brave people will be es-
tsblished over a land 80 rich with
Gods blessings. Then shall we be
avenged for the lives OF our murdered
sailors; then will our brave army re-
turn fully satisfied and our honor
maintained.

AS Usual.

Republican papers have been flush
ing the sewers OF every city in the
state with the overflow OF their lach-
rymal glands, and vanishing their
coat sleeves with their excessive nasal
secretionS, on account OF Governor
Leedy's failure TO get the state troops
together IN Topeka sooner than he
did
II now comes out that not only has
Governor Leedy modified the troops
several days sooner than the govern
ment was ready for them, but the
government has declared that 1t will
not be liable for the maintenance and
wages OF the troops for more than six
days prior TO the date OF their being
musterered into the U. 3, service, and
that all time in excess Of that number
of days will be at the expense Of the
state. So, these disconsolate walters
have been pumping their intestinal
juices out throgh their eyes, and gill
ing the atmosphere with their dismal
bleating and melancholy signs, all be-
cause Governor Leedv wouldn't call
the troops together about two weeks
before the government wanted them,
so that the state would have to bear
the expense Of keeping 1900 men for
a week or two. II seems that these
critics would finally get tired Of bark
ing their shins against Leedy's door
step, in their vain attempt TO prove
that there was no doorstep there
