The War Situation.
The story of ihe lust six weeks, so far jn
the administration it co icerned, is that o
energy, patriotism and zeul. Whateve
falls we shall not be taken uuawnros. Tin
overumeiit has likewise shown the sp!en
lor of moral power in its restraint am
-elf-respect—no wantonness, ,io liybi
liearied waltzing toward war, no injustici
io rash vemure; and yet there may b
siern, sad work ahead, and no momen
ias been lost in the preparation for tl>.
loing of it.
This readiness we owe to the Prrsiden

unbroken frienilship with Spain, lo a <h -
cent respect for tbeopiMions of niankind.
lias an hour been lost in seeking the trull
and in preparing for whatever duty trut!
may impose? The President has beei
trusted thus far. Why not trust him to
the end.
What would be our position if tin
policy ot yellow journalists, Jacobins ami
revolutionary juntas had prevailed, were
there not men like Allison in the Senate,
Reed in the House, McKiulev in the ex
ecutive chair? At its best war is a fearful
thing. The country has been upset b\
the mere rumors of war.
Western gentlemen demand war be
c ittse the prairies are on fire. And yit
why not trust the President. We have a
sieady-headeJ murinerat the helm. Then
has been no mistake as yet. Why slam
pedethe American. The crime of tin
Maine shall have reparation and expia
tion. Massacre and starvation in < übt>
will cease, the burning chimney next dooi
will be extinguished. And if in answei
to our moderate demands war should
come it will be a war of vindication, ot
humanity, the solemn, sober act ot a
christian people.
Therefore let us trust the President. 11
the outcome is peace it will be peace with
honor. If otherwise, then it will be a
war which will bring no sliuine.
Atty. F 11. Ingham alter a few days
work in the town of Beruice secured thir
ty-four names for an application for a
charter to organize a camp of the "Pa
triotic Order Sons ol America" at Betnice

District President, of Sullivan Co. at once
set to work lor a grand institution of the
camp. Ail Cani|is in the county and the
New Albany t amp were a»k to partici
pate. On the night of institution there
were twenty-two brothers of the Ordei
present notwithstanding the condition of

m. District Pres. Karns culled the meet
ing io order and alter at pointing visiting
members to fid the different stations pro
tern he commenced the work of institution.
Mr. Taylor consented togo through the
imitation ceremonies so the otiier mem
bers of Hie Bernice camp took the obliga
tion and then Mr. Taylor was introduced
lor imitiation much credit is due the veil
ing Brothers for the successful carrying
on ol the imitiation. The officers of the
new camp were then introduced and Dis
trict Pres. Karns installed them intotheii
various stations. When the time for
verbal communications came several re-
S|ionded. Everybody present was much
impressed by the good sound and well
chosen remarks that were given by Bros.
J. S. Taylor, outsine boss of the Bernice
nines. The Camp promises to be a very
strong institution and therefore much
credit is due Bro Ingham for being 'he
organizer of the same. Bro. District
Pres. Karns can lie congratulated on
having been the institutor and for his
faithful and well performed duties of his
office. The visiting Brothers are to be
congratulated on the successful peiform
