INDIANA EDITORIAL NOTES.

Adlai Stevenson is enjoying all the dis
tinction without any of the fume and fret
of the campaign activity Lafayette Call.
While Bryan is getting off his silly
gibes about the 'full dinner pail Pres
ident Mckinley is wrestling with the pow
ers of the world In the interest of civiliza-
ton and the progress of the world.-Nobles-
Vile Ledger.
The Hon. George Fred Williams charges
that Minister Conger is prejudiced against
the Boxers. OF course, an unprecedented
person like George Fred would highly en-
joy being walled in and shot at for three
weeks.-Muncie Times.
1t made the cold chills gallop up New
York's mayors back when he heard that
an island of ice in the Arctic sea had been
christened Van Wyck's island. This. too.
was done before the formation of the ice
trust-Elkhart Review.
The Populists reluctantly nominated Mr..
Stevenson in place of Mr.. Towne. but they
neglected to provide him with a ~notifca-
ton committee. Perhaps they feel that the
less he hears of it the better IL will be for
all OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Journal.

the other farmers are not obliged to bor-

to make money farming and keep out of
debt he. should vote for McKinley.-Terre
Haute Express.
Practical and experienced business men
of the country have no more confidence In
Bryan than they had four years ago. Many
of them are making contracts now that will
be void in case of the Nebraska mans
election to the presidency. They are sure
of a financial panic If he gets at the head
of the government-South Bend Tribune.
The report of the commission sent to
the Philippine islands to establish a civil
government caves no doubt that the most
serious factor of disturbance in the archi.
pelago is the belief on the part of some al
the natives that the Bryanites will succeed
in the presidential election, and that ther
the American troops will be withdrawn
-Terre Haute Tribune
Senator Burrows. of Michigan, who has
been on a speaking tour through Indiana,
says this State is safely Republican If the
Republicans will keep at work as they have
begun and get out a full vote In November.
He recognizes ii as a battle ground, as De.
mocracy is going TO make a desperate ef-
fort to capture IL for Bryan. There should
be no such thing as apathy among Indiana
Republicans this year.-South Bend Trib-
une.
With all Difference to the Prohibitionists
temperance lecturers and anti-saloon cru
saders, the fact remains that the mos
practical and effective temperance reform
ers are those corporations, business firms
railroad companies and other similar con.
Germs that have adopted the rule of re
fusing to employ any one who is known
to be a tippler and that require all theil
employees to let intoxicating liquors alone
And this rule is generally being adopted b,
most of the leading institutions of this kline
in the country.-South Bend Times.
Mr.. Bryan and the rest of the American
Tagals have added to their burden tn.
blood of twelve American soldiers killed
twenty-six ounde and five missing, in
an engagement this week. But for tn,
hope of Bryan's election and the assur
ances they have from him that he will 1
elected do all he can to change the Amer
lean policy and. secure their independence
the last Filipino soldier would, ere this
have laid aside his gun and taken up hi
hoe, his pillow or his plane.-Vincenne.
