A Word About the Cuban Situation.

To be sure. this country Of ours is
always Tor peace and never for war; and
1t should do everything possible to avoid
war, In so lar as war Is honorably avoid
able. IL Is true that there is such a
thing as just war; but such IA battle
can never be IA mean dog fight over IL
bone, but must have for its object the
freedom or protection from an oppres-
sive and merciless enemy.
That Cuba, in its sore struggle for
freedom from foreign oppression, is en-
titled TO our sympathy and practical
aid goes for the saying. But for the
United States to intervene in favor OF
Cuba would, in all probability, lead TO
war with Spain, and such struggle
might produce n new situation even
more deplorable than the present one
In Cuba The doctor, in his efforts TO
cure an old disease, should be on his
guard against producing a new one by
too drastic II remedy.
The destruction Of the Maine has been
charged 10 spain and that country has
insuted our flag, but lot no one make
the mistake Of supposing that coun-
try's true honor in such time. consists
In prompt revenge. Vengeance must
not be mistaken for patriotism. In the
case OF a crime committed by an indi-
vidual, the law calls for speedy punish
ment and which can very readily be-
inflicted upon the offender; but when
whole country is involved we have quite
n different matter to deal with. One
country can punish another country only
by going TO war. In such case IL is
sometimes the better part Of patriotism,
wisdom and valor to buy the peace with
money, or to keep it for a price, and
not to plunge into one anothers blood
like pair Of snarling ours. /. A. s.

Box Rent Too High,

BY virtue Of an order from the post
Office department, the quarterly rent
for boxes in the postoiIlces throughout
the country have been increased az fol-
lows. Call boxes from - cents to 25
cents; small lockboxes from 20 cents
to % cents: medium lock-boxes from
% cents to 40 cents: large lock-boxes
from 30 to 80 cents. The new rates are
to take effect April st.-Brookville
Democrat.
For four years our people have been
paying 80 cents per quarter for
medium lock-boxes and 10 cents for the
large boxes. and there is notice posted
in the Office now, signed by First
Assistant Postmaster General Heath,
making the rental for the medium and
large boxes the same as before, 80 and
70 cents. According TO the Brookville
Democrat our people have been paying
% cents more on the medium and 40
cents more on the large lock-boxes than
the rate has been elsewhere. Even
with the increased rates the rate
here now is 10 cents more on the
medium and % cents more on the
large boxes than IL is at other places.
We can't see what right the Postofiice
Department has TO make the rate any
higher here than at any other Office in
the country.

An Easter Word From Mr.. Dean.

DEAR FRIENDS:--I believe that there
are those In our community who are
sincere doubters Of the truths OF Chris
tianity, and especially its cornerstone
truth, the resurrection OF Christ. II
Christianity is what it Processes to be
1t should meet the need Of every honest
skeptic. ] heartily believe that the
evidences that Christ rose from the dead
is such as to make it unreasonable to
doubt. 1t is because all do not agree
with me that have thought it wise to
give my reasons for believing that
Christ rose from the dead and was thus
proven the Son OF God, our Saviour, on
Sunday night at Centennial hall. Let
me urge those who are sincere in their
opposition to the Bible to meet with us
at that time. Knowing well the high
esteem In which many OF my skeptical
townsmen are rightly held, and being
personally acquainted with many Of
them. the more earnestly ask them to
give what believe to be the truth a
hearing. The subject for the evening
will be: "Why Know Christ Rose from
the dead" The service will begin at
7.30 o'clock.

A Father Choked His Daughter.

A Rathmel girl is domestic in Il
Hill street residence and few evenings
since her father called at the residence
to take his daughter to the parental
dOmicile. The father and daughter
had previously had trouble over
religious differences and the father
wanted to take her under the parental
roof to persuade her to believe as he
dose. The girl refused to go home with
him and the father become very angry
and laid violent hands on her, choking
her and using her very roughly. They
raised such a cOmmotion in the parlor
that the lady Of the house thought her
parlor furniture was being broken into
kindling wood and she entered the room
to stop the rumpus, but was unable to
do anything with the enraged man and
had to run to the street and call couple
of men in. The Hill street lady, who
received badly bruised shin in the
fracas, has sent word to the Rathmel
man that II he ever attempts to enter
on her premises again she will shoot
him.
