STATE PRESS OPINION.

1t will be a sad day for the Democracy
and all other parties when they base their
hopes of victory upon an attack upon the
Mckinley administration.-Mario ChrOn-
icle. eas
No party can ever win political victory
in this country on platform of imaginary
famine. bogus currency. yellow-fever scares
and territorial policy nourished on anti
fat.-Huntington Herald.
A Congress that will support the policies of
President Mckinley is clearly the kind to
elect next November. Blocking the wheels
of expansion at this stage would be an I'M
ineligible piece of husiness.-Crawfords-
vile Journal.
Some unavoidable mistakes may have been
made, but the thoughtful citizen shudders
when he reflects upon what might have hap
pened had the Democratic party been in
trusted with the management of the war or
the negotiations for peace.-Marion News.
The Democracy is committed to the idea
that Uncle Sam needs to take few bottles
of anti-fat. Growing territory, plethoric
treasury, expanding business and plenty of
work they fear will spoil his form; A free
trade corset and silver diet would nix him.
Fort Wayne Gazette.
1t is true of all wars that the victors
become the targets of the hostility of the
element that were secretly opposed to the
methods pursued. 1t would have made no
difference what methods had been employed,
the opposition would have been rOrthcom-
ing.-Noblesville Ledger.
The suffering of soldiers is a sweet NOR
sci for the yellow journals. Not an Amer
lean living would wish our boys in blue to
endure hardship, but If death were not to be
stared in the face and hardships were un-
known, where would the heroism OF soldiery
come in?-Decatur Journal.

army of not fewer than one hundred thou
sand soldiers thoroughly drilled and disci-
plined and ready at a moment for any
mergency.-Columbus Republican.
The President has decided upon an in
vestigation which shall determine the facts
so much desired in the consideration of the
late war and so much needed as guide for
the future. There is no politics In the con-
troversy and the attempts of the Demo-
cratic press to inject politics should fail.
-Muncie Times.
The sensational press, which is designedly
spreading the spirit of Generalization
among the soldiers, forgets the first duty
of patriotism, and the Democratic mana
gers who are aiding in the work are dis
credting their party with the country.
which Will hold them and 1t 70 strict ac-
counta bility.--Rushville Republican
Let no one say Angola isn't proud of her
marching home The town welcomes them
back, appetites, Florida TAM live alligators
and all. We were proud and sad when they
started proud and anxious while they We're
gone, and now proud and more than glad
to welcome them hOme.-Angola Magnet.
What the veterans of the Union war, men
who know what war is and what must be
endured in every war, think of the howl
that has been raised against the administra-
ton, especially against Secretary Alger, may
be learned by the Mckinley and Alger
resolutions passed by the Grand Army of
the Republic national encampment.-New
Albany Tribune.
How unfortunate it is. just when foreign
nations were looking with amazement and
admiration at our wonderful victories over
the Spanish on land and sea and the sue
cessful termination of the briefest war on
