INDIANA EDITORIAL NOTES.

In commenting upon the Cuban question,
Democratic Journals should not overlook
Shelby county Honesty, like charity,
should begin at home.-Richmond Item.
Governor Taylor traveled to Philadel-
phia and back without being arrested. 1t
is singular that the Goebel people do not
proceed with a few trials while they are
waiting for T~aylor.-Terre Haute Express.
Wouldn't it be singular If a State like
Missouri. acquired by expansion. and which
has just received a gift of 5000. 900 from
Congress to celebrate the fact, should re-
main Democratic and opposed to expansion
this fall?-Goshen Times.
1t may be a little too much for the Re-
publican party to claim credit for all of the
prosperity and good times that have come
with the present administration. but an old
Scotsman calls attention TO the fact that
they were in Office when Ii happened and
they didn't prevent Henderson Her
aid.
The President will not be deferred by in
sincere Democratic gibes from doing his
duty in the East. If the preservation Of
American trade and American lives re-
quires troops to be landed in China they
will be landed, without the least reference
to the childish cry of imperialism New
Albany Tribune.
The Republican party is fortunate in the
possession of a record which is a whole
platform in itself. and fortunate also in
having a leader in President Mckinley.
whom the Republican declaration correctly
describes as a true American patriot and
upright statesman. clear in vision. strong
in Judgment, firm in action. always inspir-
ing and deserving the confidence of his
countrymen. Lafayette Courier.
While Senator Hanna is so roundly

down in the catalogue. not a single charge
against him has been proven, which is
pretty good evidence that he is all right.
A man cannot achieve the success he has
achieved without having a horde of bark
ing enemies at his heels. Hanna is all
right by continuing him in command of
the party's forces through another presi-
Dental campaign.-South Bend Tribune.
The reelection of Senator Hanna as
chairman of the national Republican COM
mittee was a matter of course. No one in
the Republican party seriously thought of
disturbing him any more than they did of
turning down the President. Aside from
this, however, his reelection is but a fitting
recognition of the executive ability of the
man. He is not, perhaps, as diplomatic a
the Republican party, but he is essentially
a strong man, who, by the very force of
his will power, overcomes obstacles and
gains his point.-Huntfngton Herald.
William r. Hearst will be nominated by
Bryanites at Kansas City as Bryan's run
ming mate. He is as good as a military
hero. Doesn't he admit himsef that he
originated and brought about the Spanish
war? The war. after all. is to be fallen
back upon by both parties in this cam
paign. Who can the Democrats name that
exerted one-half the influence upon the af-
fairs of the world that w. r. Herast did?
And he admits IL all. He is so delightfully."-
frank about it; that's What makes him
strong. In fact. he is too strong. He is one
of the most strenuous liars in the Nation.
