Madison County Convention.

ANDERSON, Ind, June 18.-The Repub-
ilcan county. convention, held in this city
to-day, was the greatest eyer held in Madi-
son county. The Grand Opera House was
damned with people, and the enthusiasm
was of a brand that does not bear earmarks
of being manufactured. Hon. j. w. Lovett
chosen chairman, and made the only
speech of the day. 1t was limited to five min
utes, but was a complete review of conditions
and advancement made under the admin
istration The resolutions had special ref
erence to the betterment in conditions in all
classes, and an Endorsement of the admin
lstratlon and the war. Because of such
great number of candidates for the twelve
offices, speeches of all kinds were prohibit
ed ami the candidates were placed in nom
nation by the secretary calling the list.
After five hours balloting the following,
out of sixty candidates, We're chosen: Pros
ap of Of nga fR
George 3. Wheelock, Of Anderson; auditor,
George F. Quick of ANDERSON reeoTder
A; T. Dye, of Anderson sheriff. Charles
Glpe of Alexandria; commissioners, l.. ].
Anderson; coroner, e. NJ. Conrad, of Ander-
son; The contest attracting the most at.
tention, was between T. l.. De Hority of
Elwood. and George F. Quick, of Anderson,
for treasurer. The ticket is composed of
men from all callings. Dye is a conserva-
tive labor leader and barber, known for
his work in the State Federation of Labor,
OF which he was president for some time.
HiPe 10 d uldCKSnillIl, harper, young at
torney, and Heritage, Manifold and Kin
nard, farmers. Wheelock is travelling man.
The gavel used by Chairman Lovett was
the one used in the first Republican con-
great change since then. For many years
Madison county and Shelby county stood
side by side as the banner Democratic Sec
tions of the State Through an effort to
down a corrupt ring, four Republicans were
elected to office in 1870, when the Democrat
ic majority was about 1,500 but except that
time, up to 1894. Madison county was always
Democratic In the last few years factories
have been built workingmen have moved in,
and it has now become Republican by at
least 500, and from that up to 1200. It is
safe to predict that the ticket nominated
to-day Will be elected by big majority.
Among those present to-day was Nominee
Stoner, of Greenfield, who is a candidate for
Joint senator

Now we have a charge of six hundred of
Happily it is a tale of American dash and
victory and not of futile heroism and de-
feat. No one blundered when six hundred
Yankee marines under Colonel Hunting
ton were ordered to dislooge the agrees
sive and annoying Spanish who surrounded
Camp McCalla. The shells from the Marble
head and Dolphin had failed to dslodge the
enemy who for three days had kept Hunt
ington's marines at their posts night and
day
Up and down the rugged, chaparral-cov-
cred hills the marines drove the skulking
Spaniards, the fierce tropical doing
greater execution. than the wild firing of
the enemy. For four miles the battle of
rifles and endurance lasted, until six
hundred reached the fresh water wells
where the Spaniards made a last stand.
This was Intellectual for our blue jackets
deliberate and fatal. while that of their
adversarles was wild and almost harmless
The Spaniards had the advantage of posi-
ton and of using smokeless powder. But
they proved their inability to take advan-
tage of either.
In this charge of our six hundred we for
the first time on Cuban soil had the benefit
of Cuban cooperation. The Cubans fought
as fearessly as the Spanish regulars but
their methods of fighting are Wild and
Intellectual
1t is probable that as a result of Tues
days offensive work by our marines Camp
McCalla will be secure from Spanish at
tack until the American army arrives, when
Colonel Huntingtons command will be re-
lieved from its pevilous situation.

Our Municipal Bonds.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Referring to the fact that Indianapolis
has to pay AZ per cent on her bonds, while
there is rush for government per cents,
the Journal intimated the other day that
the difference is owing to the better credit
of the government This is not the case 1t
is wholly owing TO the fact that the net
income from government per cent bonds
is greater than from indianapolis AZ bonds
The government bonds are exempt from
taxation, while liz Indianapolis the bond
holder pays 1.73 in taxes leaving his net
income only III per cent. That is why gov-
eminent threes are more popular than In
dianapolis four-and-a- halls. Indianapolis
bonds are just as safe as United States
bonds. but they are too low to be clamored
for.
For more than twenty years / have adj
vocated the issuing of all State, county
and municipal bonds in small denomina-
tons and bearing per cent interest and.
like government bonds, exempt from taxa
ton | once was verdant enough to pre-
pare bill to that effect at the request of
a legislator who pretended to favor the
proposition. 1t was read and referred, and
the member got the credit of introducing q,
ball of great merit. and that was the end
OF it, | had no time or disposition to fol-
low 1t before the committee, but bankers
and loan associations had. 1t would have
been hard on BOTH The individual small
gate, did aggregate. large sums before
that prince of frauds called loan asso-
citation was invented; and these small bonds
would have checked out two-thirdS of 1t,
hence the Opposition of the banks. The
loan associations, however, did the same
thing, but now that they have about run
their race, is it not the duty of the State
to find some safe investment for those who
can save only a little, while furnishing
public funds at greatly reduced interest?
There is popular misapprehension to
nontaxable bonds. They are the only in
vestment that always pays taxes. The
taxes are recouped in advance. Loaned to
private parties, money readily commands
from 6 to per cent; loaned to municipal
tiles, from AZ to s. On the securities a tax
is levied If the securities can be found. But
who believes that one dollar in ten on de-
post or in the stocking or in notes is re-
turned for taxation? If there were nom
taxable bonds at pes cent, nine-tenths of
the money invested in them would be money
which in one form or another escapes tax
ation AS 1t is, we pay AZ on taxable
bonds. Not half of these bonds, even IL
held at home, are returned for taxation, but
most of them are held abroad, and, OF
course, we get no taxes on them, while
they could easily be sold at home, in small
denominations. at per cent. and paid for
in money that now pays no taxes. 1t
would be good scheme to bring this un-
taxed money into use and collect taxes
upon 1T by recouping them in advance.

Three Great Battle shins.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The Navy De-
partment to-day issued advertisements call
ing for proposals for building the three
great battle ships authorized by the last
naval appropriation bill. These bids will be
opened at the department on Sept. /, and
thirty-three months will be allowed for the
completion of the ships after contract. That
is the maximum, but bidders are invited to
specify the time within which they can
complete the constructions which, of
course, indicates the purpose of the depart
ment to regard a speedy construction as one
of the determining factors in awarding the
contract. The time allowed by the depart
ment is about three months less than the
period fixed in preceding contracts for the
construction of vessels of this class.
Generally speaking, the three big ships
are to be patterned closely after the ILL.,
EoiS class. such as are now building at New
port News. In the judgment of the depart
and the Indiana have been combined in this
class. Further substantial Improvement
might have been made, especially in the
matter of speed, but to include the de-
tails in the specifications and designs would
have involved not only some additional ex-
pense. but considerable loss of time in the
letting of contracts. 1t was this last con-
sideration that Influenced the bureau chiefs
to omit the improv &nents referred to. The
advertisements calling for the building of
the monitors are withheld, owing to a diff
ference of opinion among bureau chiefs as
to the turrets to be placed on these moni-
tors. One element favors vertical turret
While another. led by the chief constructor
insists that nothing less than the best and
most modern inclined turrets will serve.
