DECEMBER 7,1895.

A GOOD DECISION.

That was a good decision, we consider, of the Supreme Court a ft-w days ago, in which it is held that county commissioners shall not be responsible

for

any

damage to person or property through any defective bridges of a county. A system of black mailing has arisen in this country during the past few yistrs through this lino of liiigatioc that I ns •become unreasonable, disgusting aud mean. If an individual gets bis linger pinched by a car .door or window he iB immediately induced by some scheming, hungry attorney to sue the company for 810,000. He expects, if ho gets a judgment at all, it will be for may be $50, he taking half and the attorney the otherjhalf, and both are amply paid for the "suffering" endured by the accident. This system has spread until counties and city corporations are sought to be blackmailed out of money in scores of instances where there is no reason for the suit, where the injury, if any, results from the carelessness of the individual suing, aud where the injury really amounts to little or nothing. It is the chance to get some money .easily that in half the cases inspires the suit, and that there is a great amount of injury done to person or property is rarely the fact. The decision will stop a vast amount of frivolous litigation, as in eight cases out of ten there is no use whatever, When an individual learns that he gets nothing for injury to person or property from a defective bridge he will be much mure careful than heretofore. The loss of the opportunity to make something out of his mistap will inspire him to be more careful.

CONGRESS CONVENED. The first session of the 54th Congress convened on Monday and the message of the President. followed soon after. This Congress is republican thoroughly, that party having the majority in both Houses. We have heard many assertions and many promises of how business would be improved and dull times driven away when the republicans once got control in Congress. Now they have it. Now let them crack their whip and go in. If they can provide anything iti the way of efficient laws lJr the improvement of business let them delay not. There is no danger that whatever is reasonable and intended for the advancement of business that they may enact into new laws will be vetoed by the President. If this Congress can do any better than the last, we can see no reason for any impediments being placed in its way in its effort. We have little fa'th in them, however. They- are a party of spoils and always on the lookout for the main chance in partizan struggles. If Congress aims to legislate for tha benefit of the country all right—it its principal business is to build up and strengthen the republican party only in its work, the President will do perfectly right while he has the power in vetoing all such work. But these boasting individuals must show their~hands soon and their record go before the people next year, and the public will await anxiously to see what they are going to do.

KEEP AN EYE ON THE DRUG BUSINESS. It will be well for those ultra temperance people who in many localities boast that there are no saloons, to always keep an eye on the drug stores. There is a big profit on eome kinds of drugs, especially of a kind drawn from a barrel and drank from small tumblers behind the prescription case. There are alwayci plenty of men hanging around some drug stores complaining of feeling unwell, who for "medical purposes," only of course, need something to stimulate them. And in many drug stores they secure it for 10 cents and without a doctor's prescription. In all those towns where the saloons have all been driven out it can generally be safely wagered that the drug stores are doing an increased business. In many cases drug store managers feel under lasting obligations to tbe prohibitionists for their zeal in killing off the saloons.

BRECKINRIDGE TO RUN AGAIN. Col. W. P. Breckenridge, of Lexington,Kentucky,the suit against whom for seduction which caused national notoriety about a year ago, is to make tbe race next year for Congress in his district. If the people of his district have any pride or self respect they will give him such a rebuke that will crush his political aspirations for the remainder of his days. Such creatures as he contributed aa much as almost anything else to the defeat of the democracy of that State at the last election. There is in many instances quite a difference between eloquence and morality, between decency and leachery, aa this old reprobate has probably by this time discovered.

FAIRBANKS AND M'KEEN.

The frienda of Fairbanks

and.'Mc-

Keen are beginning to make a 'warm contest between these two individuals in the matter of U. S. Senuto'r to be

selected during thn session of thd State which everything of mechanical, legislature of 1807. They are

maledictions quite freely,

tent against the

a great ex-

interests of the

Senatorship over to either one of these men? None whatever. There is an election to be held first, and the political complexion of a majority of the legislature will be unknown until then. The democracy of Indiana propose to put up a tight in 1896 such as republicanism has not seen in years. We propose to defeat the entire republican crowd, with the Harrison ring thrown in. We can do it. All that iB required is thorough organization. The majority of the voters of Indiana are not republicans. The vote of last year is no indication whatever of the political feeling at this time. The friends of Fairbanks and McKeen are presuming entirely too much. There is entirely too much make-believe and pretense in their talk. They better first elect the legislature before naming a candidate. This they must do first. The democracy will aim to prevent them.

INCREASED.

Mr. Peter McCabe, the mail carrier between this place and Alamo, has had his pension increased from §8 to §10. Now we wonder if our neighbor of the Journal has found it out, or is likely to hear of it? No sooner is some man's pension reduced, and quite often it is no doubt the correct thing, as the pension depart ment knows much more about tbe circumstances leading to a reduction than any newspaper writer, than our neighbor indulges in a flaming editorial denouncing Ooke Smith, Commissioner Lochran and everybody else connected with the department. The object, as everybody knows, is political capital It matters not how just and equitable the department may act in the matter of soldier pensions, how many frauds may be discovered and exposed, the fact that it aims to be just, fair and exact in the disposition of claims for pensions, cuts no figure with prejudiced republican editors. If, however, some badly balanced gilly like Corporal Tanner were at the head of the department, who would throw away the government money like dirt to every applicant or alleged suffering ex-Boldier it would be correct, in the eyes of republican editors. But while Lochran is at the head of affairs there will be no squandering of the public money, no partiality shown for any one whatever his political views, but a straight-forward business course pursued from first to last. To be popular his department must grant every claim asked whether meritorious or not, must not inquire into the whys or whereforee of anything, but pay out money in increased amounts. That might be one way of doing things, but it evidently is not Commissioner Lochrau's.

SOME OF THE CAUSESSpeaking of some of the causes for the present discouraging condition of the democracy of the country, John B. Stoll, an editor of some prominence at South Bend,says: "Jealousy, malice and slander within the ranks of the party have made it exceedingly difficult of late years for democratic leaders to develop."

That is almoBt the whole thing in a nut shell, jealousy, malice and slander within the ranks of the party. In almost every locality of the country where the party has suffered defeat it has resulted to a great extent from th3 three causes named. Take our own county as an instance. The majority of the voters of this county are democrats —no question about that. But what good does it do? The jealousy, malice and slander always appear in time to place them in the minority at the elections. Let any man seek by dilligent, honest labor to elevate the party, to place it in such condition that it may be efficient, aggressive, united and harmonious, and his efforts are sure to be stamped upon by a half dozen others who, jealous of-his work desire to cruBh him. Jealous of leadership they propose to defeat any man who seemingly is advancing. It has been that way for years, and seems likely to continue. It seems that the only path to victory is by a series of continued defeats.

TO BE EXECUTED.

At Philadelphia last week H. II. Holmes, the champion murderer in this country of the paBt decade, was sentenced to be executed for the murder of Pitzel, the time not having, been set yet. Holmes has a credit of ten murders, including two or three children. It is well for the world that it be ridden of. the existence of such a monster, although his own death is a small atonement for the numerous crimes of which he baa been guilty.

THE Indiana delegation to Congress, all republicans, have united in supporting McDowell for chief clerk of the House of Kepreseatatives. 1'or this fa^'or McDowell, who has several important positions to give, has promised to bestow them on men to be named by the delegation. This is the first act of statesman^hip exhibited by the delegation, and is about on par with wbat can be expected from them hereafter. They are out for the "stuff" and that is about all to be expected from them.

THE Chicago Tribune boasted tlie other day that it had cained nearly 32,000 subscribers in a single day- by reason of its reduction in price. Then upon the Record challenged the truth of ths statement and offered the Tribune 510,000 to prove its claim. Of course the offer was not accepted. And all the country contiguous to Chicago knows the reason why.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acta directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the sy&tem. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address,

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, tbe body is almost certain to be healthy. A complant at this time is catarrh in some of it various forms. A slight cold develops the diseabe in the head. Droppings of corruption passing into the lungs bring on consumption. The only way to cure

thiB

disease is to purify the

blood. Tbe most obBtinate cases of catarrh yield to the medicinal powers of Hood's Sarsaparilla as it by magic, simply beeauee it reaches the seat of the disease, and by purifying and vitalizing the blood, removes the cause. Not only does Hood's Sarsaparilla do this but it gives renewed vigor to the whole Bystem, making it -possible for good health to reign supreme.
