Hfl We all agree that we ought to
II have a merchant marine of Ameri-
B can construction , owned by Ameri-
I cans , manned by Americans , carry
ing the foreign commerce of the
' United States. To do that we must
I ; take away that carrying from for-
H i eign ships. There is no alternative.
1 j \ Doubtless this will be objectionable
Bflj to the governments of those Euro-
Hfl i pean nations that are anxious to
HH monopolize the world's carrying ;
H but then it is not our need , nor
b ought it to be our purpose , to con-
H9 suit the wishes or the prejudices of
HB other nations , in helping American
HH industry.
II i President MoKinley has had
H | J a pretty hard month of it between
HI his official labor , his social duties
H and his encounters with the hordes
H of place hunters , and he is entitled
H to the few days' rest which , it is
H stated , he proposes to take. Major
1 McKinley can't shoot as well as
H Harrison or fish as successfully as
H Cleveland , but a run down the Po-
Bl tomac and a few miles out in the
Hf sea on the Dolphin will have an
exhilarating influence , and that dis
( patch boat couldn't be engaged in
k g better business than preserving the
K health and strength of the Presi-
H dent.
H These are busy days at Wash-
Hff ington. Probably no new admin-
Ej istration was ever required to cope
m with such a complication of affairs
H | as that which exists at the seat of
Hf our federal government at present.
Bl Not that the country is threatened
Hi with war or other menancing for-
Hl eign opposition , nor from any do-
H | mesticdifficulties seriously disturb-
Hf ing our national peace of mindbut ,
H | in pursuance of the arrangement
Hf of the unusual number of national
HS questions now before the new cab-
H3 inet. Our foreign relations are
Hf ' most involved in the future of
Hf Cuba. Spain cannot hold out
H against the patriots much longer
H ' and is said to be anxious to sell the
H J once beautiful but now almost dev-
H I astated island to us. Then there
Hj , are some important matters to be
H settled with England the famous
H arbitration treaty , to facilitate the
H settlement of the South American
H and Alaskan boundary disputes ,
H and Canadian trade differences.
V The new administration is also
H called upon to take some action re-
H gardmg Hawaii and may be forced
B into the Grecian trouble. Besides
B all these foreign matters there is
B the new tariff , the future of the
B Nicaragua Canal and the settle-
B • menfc of some important financial
B i and commercial questions. Beaver

H. A. Bull was over from Danbury -
bury on business , Tuesday.
Miss Snow got stuck on Mr.
Mud , this morning , and Mr. Mud

on the streets today.
Farmers who had their wheat
sown before the wet weather com
menced report that it is up nicely.
Early sowing usually gets there.
W. G. Sheppard , finding this to
be a rainy country , had to have a

ness. He is also repairing and
painting the exterior.
C. W. Simpson , a former In-
dianolaite , came in with R S.
Schoonover his brother-in-law

so rainy and dark that sixty-five

had a hard time to find their way.
We think the Reporter rather
put a wrong construction on the
people of Indianola when it said ,
last week , that Indianola was unan
imously wet , unless it referred to
the streets. While it is true that
the temperance people had no tick
et in the field , they are not in
favor of saloons , as was shown by
the vote yesterday , only 76 votes
being cast , when last year there
were 146. They believed they
had a fighting show but they were
so modest that no one wanted office.
In this they are much like the
Populists , for all know that they
do not want office , ( ? )
It is , or should be , the highest aim of every
merchant to please his customers ; and that
the wide-awake drug firm of Meyers & Eshle-
man , Sterling , 111. , is doing so , is proven by
the following from Mr. Eshelman : "In my
sixteen years' experience in the drug business
I have never seen or sold or tried a medicine
that gave as good satisfaction as Chamber
lain's Colic , Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy" .

When the spring time comes , "Gentle Annie" ,

I desire to attest to the merits of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as one of the most valu
able and efficient preparations on the market.
It broke an exceedingly dangerous cough for
me in 24 hours , and in gratitude , therefor , I
desire to inform you that I will never be with
out it , and you should feel proud of the high
esteem in which your Remedies are held by
people in general. It is the one remedy
among ten thousand. Success to it. O. R.
