NOVEMBER 30, 1895.

LET UP ON IMPROVEMENTS. The men running for couacilmen in Crawfordevilla nest year will pull the largest number of votes who for the ensuing few years will oppose all improvements not absolutely necessary, and will favor retrenchments on every hand and the payment of the debt of the city as fast as possible. That is the kind of candidates for councilmen that the people will look for and support. No mure improvements should be tolerated until there is a big reduction in tlie city debt. The city's business should be handled just the same as the cautious business man would manage his. The city's busirress has to a great extent been in the hands of incompetent managers. Thoy have made many foolish expenditures, have paid too high for many things bought for the city, ha\e loaded the tax payers with a great debt. The new councilmen must have a mure conservative view of things, must see that no money is expended except that that is absolutely necessaay. The "Trilby" roller business, nor $10,COO bridges should enter into consideration, but the first move should be to cutting dowu expenses, reduce the salaries of all city officials, and kick out the numerous hangers-on about the city buildings trying to secure work from it. Retrenchment should be the word and it should mean just that by practical demonstration. Taxes are too high now to allow of any further bulldozing tactics. The people in general would much prefer for the next tvo years of a reduction in taxation than any new improvements.

AN 0PP0SITE EFFECT. While the Nicholson temperance law may do much good it also has in some instances an opposite. It has created qnart shops in many places through the State where whiskey and beer sold by a quart at a time causes more drinking and drunkenness than formerly. Here is the way it operates in our neighboring town of Rockville, the extract of which is taken from the Tribune: "Since the Btarting of quart saloons in Rockville intemperance ha6 increased more than 100 per cent, the past two Saturday nights demonstrating it beyond a doubt. It is said that

vone

week

afeo Saturday night that there were more drunk men in Rockville than at any one time for firteen years. The sale of Beven kegs of beer in six hours by one "quart shop" is evidence enough that they do sell more with govern ment license than with Etate, although they may not get as much profit. While the tax-payers bear whatever additional burden that increased drunkenness imposes without tribute from itBsource."

AGF. ha9 not lessened the spirit of demagoguery in Col. Dick Thompson, and gives r, party friends the same kind of Blush he did thirty years ago. In addressing the 400 republican office seekers at Indianapolis the other day he said: "We feel that we are laboring for the country and not for ourselves. We come together for conference and not for spoils. You are here to

decide

what we are required to do to make our victory complete, and I trust in the Providence that protects this great country. I love this State I love the republicans of this State. I pray to Almighty God that He will give us vigor, energy and power until the pillars of this Union shall be planted so firmly in tho American soil that no power on earth shall be able to

Ehake

them." Anyone inspecting the crowd he was addressing knew that it was 6poile and nothing else that drew them to the city. Not one in a dozen probably would have attended if he were not animated by eome hope or prospect of office, and Thompson knew that too

DEBS RELEASED

Eugene V. Debs, the great champion for the laboring "men of the country, who has been confined in jail for near 6ix months past by order of U. S. Court, for his part in the Chicago labor troubles of July 1894, was released last week, his sentence having expired. He was tendered a reception at his home at Terre Haute on Saturday last. Debs is rapidly passing away here. He talks very good at times but hie talks did not conform to his actions previous to and during the riots at Chicago over a year ago. He is a self constituted champion of the rights cf the laboring men, and judging by the results it would have been better for the cause if he had said and done nothing. Debs will soon go into obscurity. He doe3 not seem to tave in him the proper elements necessary to constitute a successful leader.

HARBISON was termed tho "magnificent," the "grand," and other endearing terms by a number of the office seekerB at the conclave at Indianapolis. If he should fail of a nomination next year to them he will simply then be a has Ben.

WALLACE AND DOXEY. From republican political gossip it eeemB that Gen. Wallace and MUJ.Doxoy have formed a political combination offensive and defensive for the nominations for senator and govt rnor. Wallace, it seems, ilesires to be U. S. senator, while Doxey for a year past hHs been figuring for the nomination lor governor. This is a combination that will be knockep to pieces in a few moments after some of the old party workers eet to work. Neither of these men for years have been old party workers, have not been active in the councils of the party und cannot come in at the eleventh hour and lay claim to the honors nor spoils of the party In tho case of Wallace, Fairbanks and McKeon are to the front for the senatorship. Both have been candidates for eome time, both have been workers for their party in the State for years, both are millionaires and will tap their "barrel" quickly before permitting any one to defeat them in the senatorial race. Doxey has had about seven weeks of life as a representative in congress which is the extent of his official life, the rest of his time generally being devoted to running "Ducket shops," where greonhorns re induced to drop their money on tho rise in price of wheat and corn, and which rarely ever rose if he could prevent it.

FIXING GAS RATES.

A man or a corporation with a monopoly will always, if possible, make the people pay dearly for anything they need. It is natural. Most all persons want to accumulate money and a fortune and they want to get it rapidly. The natural gas companies of the State are instances of this. They have made money from the start and are accumulating it rapidly, and from the start have aimed to take advantage of the necessities of the people. Whenever possible tbey have aimed to increase original rates. A'case of attempted increase in rates for heating by a gas company from Hamilton county was decidcd against tho company in the Supreme Court a few days ago. The court decided that such an increase would be unlawful after the dates had been fixed. Persons who have felt uneasy at times from fear of an increase in price of gas can rest easy. It cannot be done. It will not probably be tempted, but of one thing sure they will never be reduced. Monopolies are not reducing any of their commodities now-a-days unless running against competition.

AT the great republican sandhedrin at Indianapolis last week, which was made up of four or five hundred of the leading mon of the party in the State, it was discovered that almost every one present was a candidate for some office. That is about the extent of their "principles"—office. Take the office seeking feature away and they most all would lose interest in party matters. They imagine from late election results that Indiana is surely republican next year, but then four or five hundred office seekers may find a different reBUlt in November next, The democracy of Indiana propose to give them a fight that they will not soon forget.

NOBODY has spoken the plain, unvarnished truth about "protection"' more forcibly than it was spoken by WiUiam Lloyd Garrison. Senator Hoar had stated that organized wealth neither needed nor aBkad protection, and Mr. Garrison responded: "Organized wealth neither needs or asks protection." It doEis not need i. nor ask for it it commands it. At what a fearful price is it exacted! Corrupt bargaining, bribery, direct and indirect, public and private dishonor, political demoralization, debased legislatures, low standards, the dry rot of the republic! And the senator, sitting in a body which typifies all these symptoms of decay, has no eyes that can discern organized wealth.

STATE DEBT REDUCTIONThe debt of the State has this year been reduced 8400,000. To the laws passed by democratic legislature and the determined activity of a state attor-attorney-general in forcing railways and other corporations to pay their just share of taxation two years ago are the people iadebted for this creditable showing. There is no prospective reason why the debt should not continue to be reduced rapidly, and under the control of conservative butinesB men it will be. The State debt reached a total of about $8,500,000. The reduction Bhould continue until thie is entirely extinguished.

THERE seems every prospect of a rattling hot fight among the friends of Fair banks and McKeen over the senatorial race, that is if the next legislature is republican. Fairbanks iB the favorite of a clique at Indianapolis, while McKeen is the choice at Terre Haute. It is likely to be a fight of dollars when the choice comes, if it does, before the legislature, and whichever of the two can pay the highest price for votes of the legislators will secure the nomination for senator.

SENATOR SHERMAN'S book, which is about to be launched upon the literary world, is creating some consternation and a good deal of malicious feeling among the republican politicians. Sherman is no doubt telling the truth. Ho could not well afford to do otherwise, and the truth is what harts, as many important political secrets are being ro. vealed.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. Sayer, of Wabash county, is announced as the 9th candidate for governor among tho republican aspirants, and the liBt is not completed yet, several other names being mentioned in connection with the office. It is a brilliant array indeed— tho various candidates mentioned for governor in th6 ranks of tho party.

Many

of them are old worn out politiciano, others have had little or no legis lative experience, while others have characters for conduct iu the pnst that

would

be anything but beautiful held up for public inspection. This, last man is the best fitted of any yet mentioned, and the list may be improved as it increoses in number, yet this is barely possible. The have run out of suitable material, or none at least haB been presented. When such men as Steele, Doxey, or Cumback are placed at the bead of executive affairs in Indiana it would certainly look like the party was on its last lege. If sucb features are to constitute their ticket next year the democracy has every encouragement to go ahead and make a strong, vigorous fight with strong hopes of success. The ticket of the opposition, if composed of Buch material as seems likely to be offered the people for support is tho greatest encouragement to the democracy.

COL. DICK THOMPSON in addressing a company of republican office seekers the other day said: ''We come together for conference, not for spoils." lie meant really that they came together to coufer how to get the spoils. Surely tho Colonel is old euough to know th spoils or the prospects of getting them, is about all that keeps tho republican party together, and that "principles" of the party are based ou spoils.

IT

is somewhat remarkable if Harrison is not an active candidate for president why'he should so frequently have business in New York, and always near those places where the leading politicians of his party most congregate.

DOXEY, one of the republican candidates for governor is taking tha correct measurement of his parts. He is going to buy enough delegates to get the nomination.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucuous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed,"deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing willbedestroyed|forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is Eothing but an inflamed conditioiT'of^th.^ mucueus surfaces.

We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

An Important Office-

To properly till its office and function, it is important that the blood be pure. When it is in such a condition, the body is almost certain to be healthy. A complant at this time is cutarrh in some of it various forms. A slight cold develops the disease in the head. Droppings of corruption passing into the lungs bring on consumption. The only way to cure this disease is to purify the blood. The most obstinate cases of catarrh yield to the medicinal powers of Hood's Sarsaparilla as if by magic, simply beeause it reaches the seat of the disease, and by purifying and vitalizing tho blood, rettfoves the cause. Noc only does Hood's Sarsaparilla do this but it gives renewed vigor to the whole system, making it possible for good health to reign supreme.

White willow, the chosen wood for the cricket bat, is paid to be disappearing from England.

For Men of Society-

What is the use of dressing up to pay a call when that cough makes you a burden to yourself and a nuisance to your friends? Take something for it. There is nothing as good as a twentyfive cent bottle of Ely's Pineola Balsam, which is soothing to the throat and beneficial in all diseases of the throat and lungs. It will relieve the cough at once and in a few days you will almost forget that you have had a cough.
