Az ex-soldiers should resent the attempt
by Democrats to disfranchse 1000 veterans

President Mckinley evidently enjoys the
confidence of the people. Are he and his
administration to be sustained, or are they
to be condemned by electing a Democratic
Congress ?-Angola Magnet.
The Democratic party was never able to
fool the soldiers Of the war of the rebellion
and it is making very little progress in that
line with the men who participated IN the
war with Spain.-Logansport Journal.
The thing for the people of this country
to do at the November election is to con-

critics who seek their own good should be
turned down by a decisive vote.-Middle-
town News.
President Mckinley should be allowed to
settle the sequels of a war in which our
arms were free from single defeat. The
election of Republican House next month
will be vote of confidence IN our Pres
ident.-Covington Republican.
The Republican who fails to vote this
year is not much of a supporter of Nc

publican to vote.-Worthlngton Times.

Mr.. Maurice Thompson has done a real
service to the Indiana public in preparing
the little volume bearing the foregoing til
tie. 1t is not a continuous history but a
series of historical and biographical
sketches, that taken together give
glimpses of the things that have entered
into the life of the commonwealth from the
beginning. There is no romance" says the
author in his preface more picturesque
and wonderful than the story of actual life
and life in Indiana has not been less ro-
mantle than life elsewhere, as these true
stories from her history will tend to prove.

The Pittsburg Dispatch is devoting its
energies to the defeat of the State Repub-
lican ticket in Pennsylvania, and is among
the last of the independent press that in
sists that some affairs of the war have been
badly managed by the War Department;
nevertheless it has time to give the follow
ing advice:
The Republican national administration is
entitled 10 the support of Pennsyivanians
without regard to party this year, because
the country has on hand international ques-
tionS and it behooves us not to swap horses
crossing a stream. Next, because great
prosperity has come to the scOuntry under
Republican rule and the adoption of certain
well-known economic polic1eS-whlch the
Democrats have antagonZed. These consid-
erations call for Endorsement of the Repub-
lican candidates for Congress, and Will be
fully expressed thereby. The state ques-
lions only involved in the vote for the
state and local tickets, including Governor,
legislators and judiciary. Here the people
have to pass on the management or politics
for private profit, the reputation OF pledges
made to the people.
If the Dispatch had the least justification
to do otherwise, it would not tell the people
of Pennsylvania that the Mckinley admin
istration is entitled to their support without
regard to party.

Mrs. Burton Harrison, the lady who
writes unexciting fiction of New York
society favor for New York magazines. has
prepared little manual of etiquette for
the use Of the girl who would fit herself TO
move i'm the most select social circles. 1t
will occur to some who examine the book
that the young woman who is a "debu-
tante' in the accepted sense. is formally
introduced to society and becomes part
of 1t, must have had a previous training
that would make the use or printed rules
of conduct unnecessary. However, If she
needs to be told how to behave under all
circumstances, how to wear her clothes and
when to wear her ornaments, how TO con-
duct herself in public, when and how to
observe the small courtesies of social life,
what her attitude should be TO young men
and how she should choose a husband-f,
in short she can learn manners and discre-

the social code well. 1t will at least do no
girl any harm to read and reflect upon its
