The members of the state board
of al bitration are at South Bend en-
deavoring to adjust the trouble be-
tween the managers and strikers of
the Singer works. The board of
arbitration is a recent creation of
law in this state, and great store is
placed in the power of such board
to settle troubles between large
corporations and their employees
when they can be adjusted in no
other way. This is no doubt wise
and practical provision which will
prove of great benefit to both en-
ployer and employee.

Political Rumble-,

1t will be Royse or Brink, with the
chances very much in favor of the
present congressman.
The republicans say it was har-
monious convention, but it is fact
that the defeated candidates did not go
home singing SUNDAY songs.
The convention did exactly what
brother Siders said it would do.
Henceforth Prosper Mickey and
Gene Marshall will keep on opposite
sides of the street.
Shortly after candidate Mickey re-
tired from the Poor farm he thought he
heard voice in the wilderness calling
him to higher destiny The recent
decision of the republican party of
Marshall county is conclusive to him
that the voice was no joke. 1t now re-
mains for Gene Marshall to shake up a
Somnambulist. In the awakening, let
us hope that at least one sheriff Will be
spared.

committee to take such action. a
candidate who has any hopes of
nomination should have sufficient
Judgment to announce his name in
the various papers OF his county.
There are several reasons for this.
He not only advertises his candidacy
but he establishes peace relations
with the publications, the influence
of whose editor ought to be worth
all it costs.

SPANS Cry For Peace.

Spain is said to be seeking peace
Her government is convinced that 1t
cannot, as some proudly threatened,
plant its flag upon the capitol at Wash
ington. 1t cannot inflicJ single Serl-
Gus blow upon the Nation of pigs"
which it has been revlling so cOpiously.
1t cannot even defend its colonies. The
Philippines, most valuable of all, are
already lost, and Cuba and Porto Rico
are past all saving. Now imminent
peril is perceived at home. The Carl
lists are active, probably In conjunction
with Weyler and his partisans, Repub-
licanism is reviving. The dynasty is
seen to be in danger, perhaps gleater
danger than if the war had not been
undertaken for IFS salvation. There is
no cause to wonder If, as is reported,
Senior Sagasta seems to have ''lOst his
nerve" That veteran statesman has
never before been suspected OF lack Of
nerve. He has, on the contrary, been
conspicuous for his unfailing readiness
to deal with any emergency that might
confront him. But he has had in the
last six months enough problems to
solve and trials to bear to shatter the
strongest nerves and to drive the BRAY
est statesman to despair.

There is much complaint among
the convicts in our state prisons on
account of the enforced Idleness to
which they are subjected, yet their
condition cannot compare for
severity with the solitary confne-
ment system which prevails in the
Pennsylvania penitentiaries and in
many of the county jails in that
state. Dung convicts of whom
there is some hope that they may
reform and become good citizens
should be treated with great leni-
ency and no efforts should be spared
to accomplish their reformation, but
upon confirmed and habitual crimi-
nails all lenity is lost and they
should be subjected to all the sever
ity that the law allows. If con-
victs of the latter class can ever be
induced to lead better lives it is
from fear of punishment and suffer
ing and moi from any sense of self.
respect or duty and justice toward
society.

will be comparatively easy,

1t is estimated that at the close OF
the present fiscal year, July 1, the
total value of all farm products ex-
ported will reach over eight hun
dred millions of dollars, the highest
figure in the history of the country.
A large portion of this vast sum is
due to the large shipments abroad
of wheat and flour and the specula-
tors got the big end of the profit.

"B" on Oats Blades.

Several farmers who have been in
this office within the past few days re
port that there is very plainly marked
letter Ii on the blades of oats. This is
very singular occurrence which has
not been in the past thirty five years
Those who have lived long enough to
observe say that this "sign" is seen
only in war times. Whether this letter
b means bullets, battles, bonds or
boneyards, no one seems to know to a
certainty, says the Bluffton Banner,
but all are very positive as to the ap-
pearance Of the sign.

To Recruit the IL eth Indiana,

Word has been received from Tampa,
Indiana regiment will be filled to its
full quota the same as the other three
Indiana regiments. The recruiting
officers are expected home in few
days. This regiment is raised from the
northern part of the state, and it is
doubtful if the recruiting officers will
stop in this city. They will probably
make FIT. Wayne or Elkhart their head
quarters, visiting the several towns
that raised companies.-I Indianapolis

1t is the judgement of number
of store-box strategists and news
paper men that the raid on Cuba is
on the "tail" instead of the sshead.' D
These people believe that the war
can be more quickly ended by COM
mencing at vital point than by at
lacking small forts and little towns.
Once the downfall of Havana is an
nounced, the remainder of the task
will be comparatively easy.

1t might be we'll for the states
men who are discussing the ques-
ton of colonial government and the
acquisition of territory to wait until
this country is in position to control

ton to control any thing just yet

The conference committee Of the
senate and house of representatives
has retained the provision of two
cent stamp upon bank checks. The
law, if the bill passes, will probably
induce many bank depositors to
withdraw their money and pay in
currency. This will require much
larger amount of coin and bills for
small payments than is now in use,
and the law will also be a loss to
the banking business.

indicated the policy of the admins
tration toward the captured colonies
by preparing blanks, books and
other official documents for the
maintenance of a money order SER
vice between the United States,
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philli-
pine islands. The blanks for Porto
Rico are already printed and tied up
in BUNDLES in anticipation of the

Our Boys May Gro to Porto Rico.

Under the date of June IL the Indian
apolis Journals staff correspondent
with Colonel StudebakeI's regiment at
Port Tampa says: This morning it all
seems to be detinately settled; the One.
hundred-an fifty seventh Indiana is to
60 to Porto Rico with the second expedi-
ton, which will include the troops at
Jacksonville and those remaining at
Tampa after the Shafter corps get
away. A long train flew past the Indi-
ana camp towards Port Tampa docks
few minutes ago. On board it was
General Miles, in private car, and en-
tourage, besides the small host which is
to accompany the first invading army
in various capacities outside the fight
ing department. General Miles is to
watch the embarkatIon.
For the fifth tine at least the alarm
has been given; the ships are to sail,
and this time it is promised there will
be no abortive coup. Noon was the
hour for departure of the last transport
of the line. A sailing hour at this port
is somewhat flexible, and noon fingered
over till o'clock in the evening, and
still the transports did not sail.

but crop futures are far more un-
certain and dangerous, as young

BRYAN ON THF SPIRIT OF CON
QUEST.


William Bryan, IN his address
at the Omaha exposition on Tues
day, gave expression to sentiment
that should commend itself to the
American people when he said that
the manifest destiny of this nation
is not to acquire new relms to
govern, but to carry out the funda-
mental princl .,les of democracy to
the end that equality among the
citizens might be secured. The
following paragraph from Mr..
Bryan's address is particularly
apropos at the present time, when
the spirit of conquest and military
imperialism seems so strong:
"History will vindicate the posi-
ton taken by the United States in
the war with Spain. In saying
this l assume that the principles
which were invoked in the inaugur-
alton of the war will be observed in
its prosecution and conclusion. If
a contest undertaken for the sake of
humanity degenerates into war of
conquest we shall find it difficult to
meet the charge of having added
hypocrisy to greed. Is our national
character so weak that we cannot
withstand the temptation to appro-
pirate the first piece of land that
comes within our reach?"

The fabulous honor of being the first In
ventor OF the art of signalling is best
owed by certain classical writers upon the
ingenious Palamedes. This hero may have
introduced Improvements in detail, but II
is certain that long before the time Of
the Trojan war the Egyptians and Assy-
rfans. if not the Chinese and other ma
tions of remote antiquity-of whom mof,u-
mental records along remain to us-had
developed regular methods of signalling
by fire. smoke. flags. etc.
The Great Wall. built by the Chinese
ages ago, and $500 miles long, is studded
with towers. Between these signals were
interchanged when troops had to be col
lected in order to resist attack at any
point threatened by the Tartars or outer
barbarians.
BY Major Boucheraeder and others it
has been considered that the huge tower
Of Babel was erected for similar as well
as for number of different purposes.
That is to say for the signalling not
necessarily of any particular words or
sentences, but of expected events. impe-
rial DEGREES, military orders, and other
matters intended to be understood
through conventional signals whether of
lights, flags, semaphores or other de-
vices by all the motley host OF national-
tiles and languages Of which the Chal-
dean Empire was composed. -Cornhill
