is restored by taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. The reason is that this preparation contains only the purest and moSf^l^erful alteratives and tonics.-- To thousands yearly it proves a TeritSblo elixir of life.

Mrs. Jos. Lake, Brock way Centre. Mich., writes: "Liver complaint and indigestion iniule my life a bunion and came near ending my existence. For more than four years I suffered untold agony- I was reduced almost to a skeleton", and hardly had strength to drag myself about. All kinds of food distressed me, and only the most dejicatc could be digested at all. Within the time mentioned several physicians treated me without giving relief. Nothing tliat I took seemed to do any permanent cooil until I began the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which has produced wonderful results. Sooh after commencing to take the Sarsaparilla I could see an

in niv condition, my appetite began to return and with it came the ahility to digest all the food taken, my strength improved each day, and after a few months of faithful attention to your directions, I found myself a well woman, able to attend to all household duties. The medicine has given me a new lease of life, and I cannot thank you too much." "We, the undersigned, citizens of Brockway Centre, Mich., hereby certify that the* above statement, made by Mrs. Lake, is true in every particular and entitled to full credence."—O. P. Chamberlain, G. "VV. Waring, C. A. Wells, Druggist. "My brother, in England, was, for a long time, unable to attend to his occupation, by reason of sores on his foot. I sent him Ayer's Almanac and the testimonials it contained induced him to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. After using it a little while, he was cured, and is now a well man, working iu a sugar mill at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia."—. A. Attewell, Sharbot Lake, Ontario.

"The Mason* Will Suvo Unit." Las, week at t!in preliminary trial of Rev. Pettit at Lafayette on charge poisoning his wife, the above expression could be frequently heard on every hand. Pettit stands high in the Masonic order, being, as it is stated, a 32d degree Mason. Such ideas as the above originated in part probably from the Morgan episode of sixty years ago, and ever since whenever a member of the order has been on trial for his life, thesaine thing is heard. It is a popular but erroneous idea. Masonry does not encourage crime on the part of any of its members, on the contrary, its ritual enjoins on each aud every one of its members the strict observance of law. Masons do, as as they should, stand by every brother who may be in trouble, and it would be a poor brotherhood that would not. The Odd Fellows, K. of P., Brotherhood of the Fast Hand, and all organizations, both secret or social do the same. None of them countenauce or desire, however, to shield any murderer, robber, or forger, who may happen to belong to the organization. At least it is so understood. Bad and dangerous men have become members of almost every order, but their presence and character as soon as known is not desired. If Pettit is proven fairly to have committed the crime which he is arraigned for trial, the Masons will not save him, in spite of his standing in the order, but they would be, as a brotherhood, very unfeeling and low-lived to desert him in the hour of his trouble. It is a duty enjoined upou them to aid him to his former standing society. That organization, as well as any other similar, is interested in purging itself of crime oh the part of any members. For its own well being aud on the part of society is this at all times necessary. It could not exist it it did. Through the long centuries of the past in every age and in every clime, Masonry never encouraged a wrong. How ungrateful and heathenish would it be for this order to desert Pettit now on account of the popular clammor or prejudice that might exist toward him through the death of his wife from poison administered, as charged by his own hands. The order only acts toward him as a parent would act toward his child. If thorough aud searching investigation should prove him a murderer, the order is interesed as much as al 1 other people in his pusishiuent. If innoceut, its conduct is that much more commendable.

NOONDAY PLUNDKltEKS. Milton Trussler is Master of the State Grange and iu au address delivered before a large number of members of the order at

Indianapo­

lis last week, said, among many other things, the following: "Were it not for monopoly, corners in trade, combines and trusts, the farmer might be happy indeed in the full enjoyment of the fruits of his labors. But these noonday plunderers have been constantly menacing the industrial interests of the country. The financial iuterest of the consumer suffer as well as those of the producer. We are all at the mercy of these blighting and despotic organizations. The constitutional right to liberty and the enjoyment of the fruits of our labor are iu imminent peril. All branches of trade are hampered and paralyzed by artificial urices designed to rob the producer and the laborer, in order that greed and monopoly may feed and fatten. The Standard Oil Company, the Beef Trust, the Coffee Trust, the Sugar Trust and uiany others that might be named are standing monuments of power for evil, with no law to check them in their beastly greed. Giant monopoly holds Congress and Legislatures by the throat while its plunderers rob the people at will."

Now, Mr. Trussler, we ask what are you going to do about all this? Continue to support the party which for twenty-five years has fostered all these monoplies of which you complain? It is the party of protection, and you, perhaps, voted for it.

FIGHTING XIIK SUGAIt TRUST. A Philadelphia dispatch the other day said the Knights of Labor were preparing to fight the sugar trust. This is commendable on the part of the Knights, and we trust success may crown their efforts, but they should not aim their guns on the sugar trust alone. There are "trusts," as is known, to regulate the prices on fully one half the articles needed for house" hold consumption or in the mechanical arts iu fact, it would seem that "trusts" surmount almost everythiug. The people are compelled to dance to the music furnished by the trusts, and no relief seeniB near at hand. Such tilings were unknown a few years ago. There was competition then in sugar, coffee, pepper, tobacco, etc. There is little of it now in inost of these things. The rich, the ffcwerful, control the markets, aud compel the people to pay the prices they name. The public will cheer on the Knights in their fight with the sugar trust, and pray that they may win the battle. If victorious iu this encounter, they may continue on in their fight, and add many victories to their record. So much has been said against them that the time for words should cease, and actual work begin.

A SUCCESS.

A trial of the Australian system of managing elections was made at the city elections iu Connecticut last week and worked successfully and satisfactorily. The same report came from Massachusetts last month after the holding of the State election, and it worked well. If the people were all honest in the matter of elections of

8to.te,

county and national officials

there would be

BO

need of so much machinery

when they cast their ballots, but they are not, but by the new laws are compelled to be so. Hence the creation of the Australian system, with its increased expense and complicated arrangement for carrying it on at elections in Indiana and elsewhere. It will at first puzzle and aggravate many, voters under the new system, but honest people are willing to submit to almost anything to have fair elections. The expense, of course, will be much greater than heretofore, but to this the people will readily submit if honest results at tbe elections are to be obtained. We know of none who may be dissatisfied with the change, unless it be the dead-beats who for years have been in the habit of selling their vetes, and the "blocki of five" managers who control them.

THii CRAWFORDtSVILLE WEEKLY REVIEW

Result* of liepuhllcHnlRtii.

The National Grange, at its session a few days ago iu California, says: "One State west of the Mississippi River lost population last ear iu sixty-nine counties. That the decliw of values and labor rates is uot a decline pertaining to all industries, but is limited to farming alone and, that there can be no remedy so long as a National protective policy is maintained that enhances the cost of farm purchases Jo without increasing the sale value of farm products." In this we see that the grangers are becoming alarmed, aud their delegates from every State in the Union solemnly declare that protection ou manufactures alone is ruinous to their interests, and that they will pledgo their united strength together with all Farmers'Alliances, Wheels, aud all labor organizations to have this excessive taritf on all necessaries of life reduced to the lowest possible rate. Come, my friends, right UD to the work at once. It takes nine days to opeu a young cat's eyes, and in less than nine months your eyes have got open. The democrats will take you by the haud and lead you iu the way you should have gone.

Modern invention has centralized wealth, industries and population at points of steam transportation and in cities. Ttie process has stripped farming sections of their former varied industrial interests, and men, having grown up on the farm, now find that they must serve another apprenticeship or fall behind a fast age iu the acquisition of wealth. Hence the farm is abandoned, and the once active farmer moves to s'oma center of population to engage in some kind of speculation. The rural population is crowding the wage laborer of the cities, creating a great surplus of labor. Tbe supply being greater than the demand wag couie down till absolute want and suffering follow. This is the result of protecting manufacturers and neglecting agriculture and commerce. Our commerce on the seas has become extinct, except the coast trade. Thousands of sturdy mariners who would gladly plow the great deep are turned loose and they try farming, producing a vast surplus of products ready for export, but no means of transportation only as British steamers can be induced to cairy it to her overcrowded market, and the price it brings there rules the price of the millions that are consumed at home. We need not be surprised that Kansas lost many of her rural population last year, for thousands had gone from the older States, taken land claims, and rai'roads having kept up with the tide of emigration carried the surplus to the seaboard, but the freight charges consumed it all, and penoyless these new fledged farmers abandoned their farms and moved to the cities and the centers of trade.

But the blind republican President says subsidize lines of steamers to carry away our surplus products of the farm and factories to South America. Now, hold on a moment with your deceptive project. If our subsidized steamers were loaded with our surplus factory products, in the make up of which everything that composes them pays a high tariff, they would have to be sold so high that British steamers in the same ports would undersell ours, take on coffees and hides and be off for home, and our goods would lie aboard because "too high." But, my republican friend, farmer and laborer, strike at the root of this evil repeal the tariff laws and the navigation laws, and then steamship lines will spring up and our goods will sell in any market. Our wheat and flour from Minneapolis and Chicago are taken to Liverpool in British steamers there the flour is sold at $4 per barrel to English merchants, who reship it to South America and sell it for $15 to $20 per barrel. (Official reports of Consuls.) But mark, my farmer friend, there will be a sharp fight against repealing the navigation laws in the present Congress. It is a part of the republican scheme of protection, which they set up more than twenty-five years ago, to rob the farther and laborer and now its result is being severely felt. This is the reason that Harrison proposes subsidy rather than a repeal of the navigation laws, which prohibits American citizens from buying steamers from abroad, and our tariff on such things as enter into ship building is so high that we cannot make them ourselves. No foreign vessel can take on a pound of freight, or a passenger, to go from one of our porta to another, but this is reserved for our protected coast vessels. Oh! republican partisan, hide your faces in shame. I saw an article the other day that the Canadian Parliament had voted $6,000,000 to enlarge the harbor and build elevators at Montreal, so that the surplus products of the Mississippi Valley could be stored there after they had come down the Welland Canal, and be re-shipped in large British steamers. The article said that if these facilities had been completed at Montreal that 10,000 car loads of freight would have gone there this year for reshipment more than did go. Can it be possible that the Railroad United States Congress (that is its proper name) will sleep on and oppose all repeal of the tariff and the navigation laws, and let the British concentrate-ail tbe Mississippi Valley trade at

Montreal? 'This is the only hope the farmer has. English syndicates have bought all the Minneapolis mills, and all the elevators west of the Mississippi River, and they own nearly all tbe cattle ranches, and it is not surprising that they want greater facilities at Montreal. But our people sleep on and vote tbe republican ticket, and this party is pledged to protect manufacturers, even though it ruin every other industry, making a few millionaires, and millions of pauper farmers and wage laborers. want to write about the mechanics and labor ere that voted tbe republican ticket to make good times, and who are now standing in the streets idle. See them, how their eyes.fall as you pass, how sheepish they look,

TOM MOORE,

OF the 758 convicts in the northern penitentiary ,i)99 are put down as Intemperate. This is an excellent illustration of tbe evils of dram drinking. About three-fourths of the men confined there have been drinkers of ardent spirits, and a majority of these would not have been there had they have remained away from tbe saloons. From this county alone there is an average attendance from year to year of twenty-five persons in the penitentiary, and we believe that fully three-fourths of them were men using intoxicating liquors. Two prisoners from this county confined there for the dread' ful crime of homicide, John Campbell and Wm. Schuyler, both date their trouble from their enebriated condition, at the time the deed was done. So will it be found to be the case with almost every man sent to the penitentiary for murder and most other crimes. Men that are in the habit of making the saloons their loafing places have, here, if they have much sense remaining, an oxcellent subject for meditation.

CAN'T GET OVER HIS LOSS. He (Alex. Harper) in hardly fit tocairy pumpkins to an old cow, and should the democracy nominate him we hope the old bag of wind, guts, etc. will be beaten by 5000 majority"—Newport Hoosier State.

We never knew a man to grieve longer over the loss of three dollars thau the Hoosier State man. When Heuning was executed iu this city iu 1886, this gllly who runs au alleged newspaper at Newport purchased an admission ticket, from a man who had it given him, to the exclosure where the execution occurred. Tbe deputy sheriffs were "onto him," and promptly ordered him to git. He got, aud so did his three dollars, and lie *lias not yet recovered from his loss and disappointment. No wonder he don't like Harper.

PETTIT, the ex-Methodist minister, at his preliminary trial at Lafayette, charged with the murder of his wife, was admitted to bail. Bail was fixed at 'J10.000. The action of the justice in admitting him to bail it is claimed is without precedent anywhere, and is pronounced a remarkable decision. The justice's decision is not more strange than scores of other alleged "decisions" that are given frequently. In fact most of the decisions now-a-days appear to be founded on guess work aud prejudice, and the race of real lawyers and judges appears to be rapidly running out aud mediocrity taking their places,

IT is very questionable if what is termed the "argument," which is fired at the jurymen immediately after the bearing of evidence is concluded, by attorneys in eight cases out of ten is of any benefit toward bringing around a decision. Sensible jurymen make up their opinion from the evidence of witnesses and the charge of the court, and are not generally moved by high flights of oratory, or finelydrawn sentences. If is remarkable that in this day of reform, there is not a reform in the "argument" business, or the doing away with it almost altogether.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says that on account of the death of Mrs. Scott-Lord, the sister of the wife of President Harrison, that lady will be prevented from taking part in the festivities of Washington City society this winter. Sad indeed! Not so much, judging from tbe dispatch, on account of the death of Mrs. Lord, but from the fact that fine dresses, diamonds, and cheap gossip, will not be seen nor heard so much about the White House as had been hoped.

"BLOCKS-OF-FIVE DUDLET" was Indianapolis a few hours last week. The rascal should have been arrested for his infamous actions during the campaign of last year, but it was not done. The fact that the machiuery of the Federal courts is all now in the hands of Republicans is probably a sufficient explanation.

FORREST, one of tbe attorneys for the Dr. Cronin murderers, spoke last week 30 hours at the trial in Chicago in their defense. If a long-winded qualification is any indication of victory, Forrest's clients may soon be set at liberty.

(CONSUMPTION OF TBE BRAIN)

Dear Sirg:—l

what Palno's Celery Compound did for me. Ican't praise it enough. Aboutayear ago my head troubled me so that it seemed as though I should be erazy. It was caused by overstudy. I asked the advice of two doctors, who gave me medicine to no effect, and did not know what I would do. I did not want to see anyone, everything seemed so strange. I had a tired, languid feeling, my kidneys troubled me, and I felt badly. I read your advertisement in a paper and"" thought I would try the compound. Before I had taken half of one bottle I felt like anew person. Four bottles cured me and I would recommend it to all that feel the way I did. Yours truly, MKS. J. E. WILCOX, Rural P. O., Wis.

Dear Sirsi—l

Paine Celery Compound in those cases where the nervous system was broken down from over-work of mind or body. I have seen particularly good results where the patient had I lost all ambition, no appetite, constipated, could not sleep nights, etc. Three or four cases of weak, emaciated, hysterical females have been cured with the Compound. I have observed that it quiets excitable nerves, gives patients better rest, increases appetite, regulates bowels, and is a good remedy to build up broken-down cases generally. Yours truly,

feel it my duty to tell yon

am much pleased with the action of
