OI lS CANDIDATE. FOR CONGRESS.

THE JOURNAL

believes the Republi

cans of the Eighth District did a good day's work yesterday when they made George \V. Faris their candidate for Congress. The convention was composed of an earnest body of men intent on selecting a candidate who could unite all the forces which are opposed to the principles and policies of the Democratic party. That they believed Mr. Faris as the man was attested by the large yote he received on each of the four ballots cast to reach a result. Mr. Faris is a clean cut man, an accomplished scholar, an able lawyer, a thorough-going and earnest Republican and an affable, Christian gentleman. Of his nomination the Terre Haute Exprcsn makes the following editorial comment:

The large majority secured by Mr. Faris, as early in the convention as the fourth ballot, without undue excite icent. c.an be accepted as satisfactory evidence that the large constituency represented by more than two-third's of the delegates will heartily support Mr. Faris, while it may be assumed as readily that the constituencies repre seuted by the less than one-third will loyally accept the arbitrament of the ballot and unite to place a Republican in the seat which has been too long filled by a Democrat.

The character of the candidates opposed to Mr. Faris makes his success a very great honor. The giving of the nomination to Vigo by the votes from other counties is an honor and favor to this county to be acknowledged and remembered. It must be acknowledged by a heavy Republican vote in Vigo county. When Clay, Fountain, Montgomery and part of Parke and Vermillion cast their votes for the Vigo coun ty candidate, resigning their claims to men whom they thought could be elected, they imposed the duty upon Vigo of sparing no effort to elect a Republican Congressman to represent the Eighth district.

Mr. Faris ought to be. can be and will be elected. The industry and success revealed in his canvass for nomination are indications of his energy and success in the congressional canvass. The mismanagement, of the Democratic congress and its failure to fulfill its obligations to provide relief from the hard times and calamities following its election make it necessary for the future welfare of the country to turn the Democrats out. Here and there among them have been some reasonable men but what are a few among so many. The votes were swallowed up or neutralized. We must have 180 Republicans in the next Congress to stop farther tinkering with the tariff, to hold in check the anti-pension, antisoldier ring led by Hoke Smith and Judge Lochran. We do not want possession of the next congress to prolong tariff uncertainty and the uneasiness of the Union soldier, but to give the country rest and security. To secure this we need a Republican majority. Nothing else will secure it. No one man can affect anything in Congress, nor secure favors for his party, nor change a single law relating to the welfare of the veterans, of his state or his district, unless he is one in a solid body which casts the majority vote.

The Republicans have a right to expect the congressman's chair for this district. It is theirs to take or to throw away. They will take it for George W. Faris.

HOW TO RAISE REVENUE. Congressman Bland, in the House of Representatives, has introduced a bill providing for an income tax of $100,000,000.

As the system of raising rev

enue by a tariff is such a bugaboo in the eyes of the Democrats Mr. liland should not stop at so small a sum as 8100,000,000, but should increase it so as to cover the entire running expenses of the Government and wipe all tar ill' laws from the statute books. The Chicago platform declared that all tariff laws were not only "robbery" but "unconstitutional," and as the Democrats have suddenly become enamored with an income tax which of course is constitutional, they should repeal all "vicious legislation" in the way of duties on foreign importations. The people of the United States should pay all their own taxes and the people of foreign countries should not be asked to share the burdens for the privilege of selling their .products in this country. Jt is unjust to the foreigner and it places a burden on him that he should not bear. Furthermore, an income tax to yield sufficient^venue to run the Government would mainly be paid by the Northern States. The South would be nearly exempt. This of course would be a penalty on the North for having suppressed the rebellion, but a good .thing always costs money. Yes, by all means let us have free trade pure and ^simple, and the necessary revenue raised by an income tax adjusted in such manner that the bulk of it will come from the States that furnished the Union soldiers. Inland's ideas should be incorporated in the next Democratic platform.

"i nave, ouv worn iena it xor sucn purpose. However, never mind the principal. Tell me your plans. I am at your disposal for a oouple of weeks, or longer if neoessary." "Good boy! Well, I'll tell you how it Is. I want rest and quiet and the woods for a week or two. This is how it happened: I have been steadily at the grindstone, except for awhile in the hospital, and that, you will admit. Is not much of a vacation. The work interests me, and I am always in the thlek of it. Now, it's like this In the newspaper business: Yonr chief is never the person to suggest that you take a vacation. He Is usually short of men and long on things to do, so If you don't worry him into letting you off he won't lose any sleep over it. He's contcnt to let well enough alone every time. Then there is always somebody who wants to get away on pressing business—grandmother's funeral and that sort of thing—so If a fellow is content to work right along his chief is quite content to let him. That's the way affairs have gone for years with me. The other week I went over to Washington to interview a senator on the political prospects. I tell you what It is, Stilly, without bragging, there are some big men in the states whom no one but me can interview. And yet old Scrag says I'm no credit to his olassl Why, last year my political predictions were telegraphed all over this oountry, and have since appeared in the European press. No credltl By Jove, I would like to have old Scrag in a twenty-four-foot ring with thin gloves on for about ten minutes!" "I doubt if he would shine under those circumstances. But never mind him. lie spoke, for once, without due reflection, and with perhaps an exag-

orated remembrance of your schooloffenses. What happened when you went to Washington?" "A strange thing happened. When I was admitted to the senator's library I saw another fellow, whom I thought I knew, sitting there. I said to the senator! 'I will oome when you are alone.1 The senator looked up in surprise, and said: 'I am alone.' I didn't say anything, but went on with my Interview, and the other fellow took notes all the time. I didn't like this, but said nothing, for the senator is not a man to offend, and it is by not offending these fellows that I oan get the Information I do. Well, the other fellow came out with me, and as I looked at him I saw that he was myself. This did not strike me as strange at the time, but I argued with him all the way to New York and tried to show him that he wasn't treating me fairly. I wrote up the interview with the other fellow Interfering all the while, so I compromised, and half the time put in what he suggested and half the time what I wanted In myself. When the political editor went over the stuff he looked alarmed. I told him frankly just how I had been Interfered with, and he looked none the less alarmed when I had finished. He sent at once for a doctor. The doctor metaphorically took me apart, and then said to my ohicf: 'This man is simply worked to death. He must have a vacation, and a real one, with absolutely nothing to think of, or he is going to go to pioces, and that with a suddenness that will surprise everybody.' The chief, to my astonishment, consented without a murmur, and even upbraided me for not going away sooner. Then the dootor said to me: 'You get some companion—some man with no brains, possible, who will not disouss politics, who has no opinion on anything that any sane man would care to talk about, and who couldn't say a bright thing if he tried for a year. Get such a man to go off to the woods somewhore. Up in Maine or in Canada. As far away from post offloes and telegraph offices as possible. And, by the way, don't leave vour address at the Argus office.' Thus It happened, Stilly, when he described this man so graphically, I at once thought of you." "I am deeply gratified, I am sure," said the professor, with the ghost of a smile, "to bo so promptly remembered in suoh a connection, and if I can be of any Bervice to yon I shall be very glad. I take it, then, that you have no intention of stopping In Buffalo?" "You bet I haven't. I'm In for the forest primeval, the murmuring pines and the hemlock, bearded with moss and green iu the something or other—I forget the rest. I want to quit lying ou paper and lie on my back instead, on the sward or in a hammock. I'm goiug to avoid all boarding houses or delightful summer resorts and go In for the quiet of the forest." "There ought to be some nice places alonjj the lake shore." "No, sir. No lake shore for me. It would remind me of the Lake Shore railroad when it was calm, and of Long Branch when it was rough. No, sir. The woods, the woods and the woods. I have hired a tent and a lot of cooking things. I'm going to take that tent over to Canada to-morrow, and then I propose we engage a man with a team to cart it somewhere Into the woods, fifteen or twenty miles away.

We shall have to be near a farmhouse, so that we oan get fresh butter, milk and eggs. This, of course, is a disadvantage but I shall try to get near some one who has never even heard of New York." "You may find that somewhat difficult."

Oh, I don't kuow. I have great hopes of the lack of Intelligence in the Canadians." "Often the narrowest," said the professor, slowly, "are those who think themselves the most cosmopolitan." "Bight you arel" cried Yates, skimming lightly over the remark and soenothlng applicable to his case in it. ell, I've laid in about half a ton, mora or less, of tobacco, a:::l have bought an empty Jug." "An empty one?" "Yes. Among the few things worth having that the Canadians possess, is good whisky. Besides, the empty jug will save trouble at the custom house. I don't suppose Canadian rye is as good the Kentuoky article, but you and 1 will have to aornb along on it for while. And talking of Jugs, Just press the button onoe again."

The professor did so, saying: "The dootor made no remark, I suppose, about drinking less or smoking less, did he?" "In my oase? Well, oome to think of it, there was some conversation in that direction. Don't remember at the moment just whpt It amounted to but

all physicians have their little fads, you know. It doesn't do to humor them too much. Ah, bo}', there you are again. Well, the professor wants another drink. Make it a gin flz this time, and put plenty of ice in it but don't neglect the gin on that account. Certainly: charge it to room 518."

CHAPTER III.

"What's all this tackle?" asked the burly und somewhat red-faced customs officer at Fort Erie. 'llii-." said Yates, "is a tent, with the poles and pegs appertaining thereto. These are a number of packages of tobacco, on which I shall doubtless have to pay something into the exchequer of her majesty. This is a Jar used for the holding of liquids. I beg to call your attention to tho faot that it is at present empty, whloh unfortunately prevents me making a libation to the rites of good fellowship. What my friend has In that valise I don't know, but I suspect a gambling outfit and would advise you to soaroh him." "My valise contains books principally, with some articles of wearing apparel," said tho professor, opening his grip.

The customs officer looked with suspicion on the whole outfit, and evidently did not like the tone of the American. He seemed to be treating the customs department in a light and airy manner, and the officer was too much Impressed by the dignity of his position not to resent flippanoy. Besides, there were rumors of Fenian Invasion In the air, and the officer resolved that no Fenian should get into the country without paying duty. "Where are you going with this tent?" "I'm sure I don't know. Perhaps you oan tell us. I don't know the country about here. Say, Stilly, I'm off uptown to attend to this jug. I've been empty too often myself not to sympathize with Its oondltion. Yon wrestle this matter out about the tent. You know the ways of the country, whereas I don't."

It was perhaps as well that Yates left negotiations in the hands of his friend. He was quiok enough to see that he made no headway with the officer, but

"WHAT'S ALL THIS TACKLE?"

rather the opposite. He slung the Jug ostentatiously over his shoulder, to the evident discomfort of the professor, and marohed up the hill to the nearest tavern, whistling one of the lately popular war tunes. "Now," he said to the barkeeper, plaolng the jug tenderly on the bar, "fill that up to the nozzle with the best rye you have. Fill it with the old familiar juice, as the late poet Omar saith."

The bartender did as he was requested. "Can you disguise a little of that fluid in any way so that it may be taken internally without a man sue* peotlng what he 1B swallowing?"

The barkeeper smiled. "How would a cocktail fill the vacanoy?" "I can suggest nothing better," replied Yates. "If you are sure you know how to make it."

The man did not resent this imputation of ignorance. He merely said, with the air of one who gives an incontrovertible answer: "I am a Kentucky man myself." "Shake," cried Yates, briefly, as he reached his hand aoross the bar. "How Is it you happen to be here?" "Well, I got into a little trouble In Louisville, and here I am where I oan at least look at God's country." "Hold on," protested Yates. "You're making only one cocktail." "Didn't you say one?" asked the man, pausing in the compounding. "Bless you, I never saw one cocktail made In my life. You are with me on this." "Just as you say," replied tho other, as he prepared enough for two. "Now, I'll tell you my fix," said Yates, confidentially. "I've got a tent and some camp things dotvn below at the custom-house shanty, and I want to get them taken into the woods where

can camp out with a friend. I want a place where we can have absolute rest and quiet. Do you know the oountry around here? Perhaps you could reoommend a spot." "Well, for all the time I've been here I know precious little about the baokwoods. I suppose you want some place by the lake or the river?" "No. I don't. I want to get clear back into the forest—if there Is a forest." "Well, there's a man in to-day from somewhere near Rldgeway, I think. He's got a hayrack with him, and that would be just the thing to take your tent and poles. Wouldn't be very comfortable traveling for you, but it would be all right for the tent, if it's a big one." "That will suit us exactly. We don't care a cent about the comfort. Roughing it Is what we came for. Where will I find him?" "Oh, he'll be along hero soon. That's his team tied there on the side street. If he happens to be in good humor he'll take your things, and as like as not give you a place to camp In his woods. Iliram Bartlett's his name. And, talking of the old Nlok himself, here he Is. I say, Mr. Bartlett, this gentleman was wondering if you couldn't tote out some of his belongings. He's going out your way."

Bartlett was a somewhat uncouth and wiry specimen of the Canadian farmer, who evidently paid little attention to the subject of dress. He said nothing, but looked in a lowering way at Yates with something of contempt and suspicion in his glanoe.

Yates had one receipt for making the acquaintance of all mankind. "Come in, Mr. Bartlett," he said, cheerily, "and try one of my friend's excellent cocktails." "I take mine straight," growled Bartlett, gruffly, although ha stepped inJ side the open door, "J don't want no

TOUNG GIRL'S FORTUNE.

AN INTERESTING SKETCH. Nothing appeals so strongly to a mother's affection as her daughter Just budding Into womanhood. Following Is an Instance: "Our daughter, Blanche, now 15 yean of age, had been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and had lost the entire use of her tight, arm. She was in such a condition that we had to keep her from school and abandon her music lessons. in fact, wefearedflt. Vltus dance, and are positive but for an invaluable remedy she would have had that terrible affliction. We had employed physicians, but she received no benefit from them. The first of last August she weighed but 75 pounds, and although she has taken only three bottles of Nervine sho now weighs 108 pounds her norvousness and symptoms of St. VttUB dance aro entirely gono, sho attends school regularly, and studies with comfort and ease. She has recovered complete use of her arm, her appetite Is splendid, and no money could procure for our daughter the health Dr. Miles' Nervinehae brought her.

When my brother recommended the remedy I had no ralih in patent medicines, and would not listen to him,, but as a last resort he sent us a bottle, we began giving It to Blanche, and the effect was almost immediate."—Mrs. R. R. Bullock, Brighton, N. Y.

Tankee mixtures fn mlnel 'FlaTn^vhisky's good enough for any man, if he is a man. I don't take no water, neither. I've got trouble enough."

The bartender winked at Yates as he shoved the decanter over to the newoomer. "Right you are," assented Yates, oordlallv.

The farmer did not thaw out In the least beoause of this prompt agreement with him, but sipped his whisky gloomily, as If It were a most disagreeable medicine. "What did you want me to take out?" he said, at last. "A friend and a tent, a jug of whisky and a lot of jolly good tobacco." "How much are you willing to pay?" "Oh, I don't know. I'm always willing to do what's right. How would five dollars strike you?"

The farmer scowled and shook his head. "Too much," he said, as Yates was about to offer more. 'Taln't worth it. Two and a half would be about the right figure. Don'no but that's too muoh. I'll think on it going home and charge you what it's worth. I'll be ready to leave In about an hour, If that suits you. That's my team on the other side of the road. If it's gone when you come back I'm gone, an' you'll have to get somebody else."

With this Bartlett drew his coatsleeve aoross his mouth and departed. "That's him exactly," said the barkeepor. "He's the most cantankerous crank In the township. And say, let me give you a pointer. If the subjeot of 1813 comes up—the war, you know— you'd better admit that we got thrashed out of our boots that is, if you want to get along with Hiram. He hates Yankees like poison." "And did we get thrashed in 1812?" asked Yates, who was ruoro familiar with ourrent topics than with the history of the past. "Blest ,lf I know. Hiram says we did. I told him onoe that we got what we wanted from old England, and he Dearly hauled me over the bar. So I give you the warning, If you want to get along with him." "Thank you. I'll remember It. So long."

Of Interest!*) .Motliern.

The success of Mrs. Annie M. lleam of McKeesport, Penn., in the treatment ment of diarrhoea in her children, will undoubtedly be of interest to many mothers. She says: "I spent several weeks in Johnstown, Pa., after the great flood, on account of my husband being employed there. We had several children with us, two of whom took diarrhoea very bad. I got some of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy from Rev. Mr. Chapman. It cured both of them. I knew of several other cases where it was equally successful 1 think it cannot be ex celled and cheerfully recommend it." 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by Nye & Booe, 111 N.

Only two ways to run a business—a right and a wrong way—years of success, of progress, convinces us that this is the right way. Every department manager has his orders, every salesman and saleslady will be alert, every price is a trade winner.

"Make Bay While the San Shines," Is a maxim to be applied with peculiar force to the dry goods business. But "hay making" time is passed— now is Clearing Out time—and for the balance of the season 15 per cent, 30 per cent, 85 per cent and even 50 per cent will drop from the prices of every article in all our departments. Our patrons will buy cheaply. Our stock will be reduced. The object desired— turning merchandise into cash—will be accomplished.
