Mr.. Bryan is weary of the war and wants
out. 1t isn't debating society.-Rushville

The political organization that thrives on
business depression and national distress
will find the year 1898 a very poor one for
it's peculiar line of business.-Logansport
Journal.
The way to show the world that we in

louisville Journal.
In the campaign four years ago Senator
Turpie declared in his speeches over the
State that tin cups under a Republican
tariff law would sell for Is cents apiece.
AS they are now selling for 10 cents dozen,
Senator Turpie is not talking tin cups this
year.-Fort Wayne 1Gazette.fCs1
Myron w. Reed has been nominated for
Congress by the Populists of Colorado.
Pity that such a great preacher should
prostitute his talents to such service as
preaching the enmity of the masses against
the classes and arousing in the minds of
the people spirit of unrest and bitter dis
content. But many popular orators and
thinkers have screw loose somewhere In
the upper story of their make-up.-NobleS-
vile Ledger.
If the Democratic party as a whole ex-
poets the people to have confidence in it's
principles, the Democratic party must first
show confidence in them. The people are
not going to intrust their affairs to a party
that is doubtful and uncertain to a party
so badly demoraliZed that no one principle
can count the support of the whole party.
-Muncie Times.
The tariff is an issue in the present cam
paign only to the extent of pointing moral
by comparison of the condition of the coun-
try under the Wilson Gree trade) law with
the present condition of the country under
the Dingley (protection) law. The
tariff law now in force is so satisfactory
that no Congress will attempt Its repeal for
many years. and therefore tariff as ques-
ton demanding speedy legislative consider
alton is eliminated from the canvass.
-Terre Haute Express.
William Jennings Bryan once styled him
self the Moses of the Democratic party. He
did not reckon on certain things when he
made the statement. Moses had hard time
of it, AS long as he was with the people to
exhort and command he was strictly in it;
when he went of on Junketing tour 1or
day or two everything went wrong Mr..
Bryan is experiencing the same troubles.
His detention in the army may be called his
Mt; Sinai, and when he comes down he Will
find that stiff-necked people of New York
have erected a golden calf and are doing 1t
hOmage.-Anderson Bulletin.
After Hoods retreat from Nashville the
army pursued him till he crossed the Ten
nessee river. Then the Twenty-third Corps
was to be sent to North Carolina, but we
had to wait some days for transportation.
There was a ration scare as waited at
Clifton on the Tennessee, and the quarter
masters refused to sell to the officers. At
the request of all the officers of the brigade
the writer of this prepared protest and
application to the division commander, Gen.
Ruger, asking him to order the sale OF pro-
visions to the officers, and the order was
made. In cam igning it is not unfrequent-
ly the case that the enlisted men live much
better than the officers. We personally
know of one officers mess which lived three
days on boiled wheat foraged from a barn.
That and water was all. We could have
begged from the soldiers and they would
have given US to the last cracker, but that
we would not do, lest the men themselves
should be left without sufficient food.-New
Albany Tribune.
