MATTHEWS' CANDIDACY FOR PRESIDENTA late issue of tin* Willows, (Cal.) Journal bus a iong editorini favorable to our Gov. Matthews as candidate for President before I he national democrat ic convention. from which we make the following extrncl: "As the time is drawing near, when the nomination" of the standard bearers who will lead the two great parties in the contest for the pr sidency. on the :W. of November.. 1896, approaches, it be-v--es a matter of gome importance to H"v— 'MTiberk of the two parties, as to hall lead them in that: contest. 'Thi democratic party, it would seem in order to make a successful campaign. must choose their candidate from the west: and the man must be one who is honest, competent, wise, able and conservative, and in close touch v. ith the masses. One whose democratic proclivities cannot be questioned and one who is thoroughly devoted to the fundamental principles enunciated by Jefferson and Jackson.

We know of no one more thoroughly fitted to be a standard bearer of the democratic paity in the coming campaign than Governor Claud Matthews, of Indiana. Governor Matthews was born in Bath county, Kentucky, in early life moved to Indiana and has been engaged in agricultural pursuits during his whole lifp. "During his service in the legislature of the State of Indiana, in the administrative oflice of Secretary of State and as the Chief Executive of the State of Indiana, he has gained it very useful experience in public affairs. In the discharge of the public duties of these oflices, he has demonstrated that he is studious, industrious, cautious and firm and his popularity with the masst 16 shown by the universal success of his canvass for public offices. "Governor Matthews was elected to the State Legislature of Indiana in 1877 being the tirst democrat ever chosen from his countv. In 1890 the democracy recognizing his sterling qualities, nominated him to the office of Secretary of

State, to which office ho was elected by a majority of 20,000 the largest ever received by any candidate in that State. "In 1892, the party again called upon him to be its standard bearer, as a can didate for the office of Governor, and notwithstanding the fact that Indiana in that year furnished the Presidential candidate for the republican party, Governor Matthews lead the democratic ticket to a glorious victory."

NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTESThere is no accounting for tastes among the people in the matter of what they select for reading. During the past few weeks there was a perfect rage among them to obtain all the details of the Kellers' murder trial at Terre Haute, and the more blood curdling the details the more intense were their desires to read it. This was fine until the accouut of Jackson killing a girl from Greeocastle at Newport, Kentucky, and cutting her head off, was given to the public a few days ago, when interest in the Keller matter was dropped for a time, the Newport affair being so much bloodier and much more horrible in details that people of such double extra retined tastes much preferred to read about it. The llauk trial will come around soon, but it is to be feared it will not be thrilling enough to suit them, besides Grace McClamrock was not butchered, at least anything similar to the Bryan girl at Newport, Ky. The only consolation to be offered this class of readers for the immediate future, is for them to devour the details of the coming trial of White at Lafayette indicted for murdering Mrs. Curtis of that city in December last. In the meantime they should aim to satisfy their appetites with the more quiet accounts of rapes, bastardy, seductions and robberies that may from time to time be chronicalied.

HE Journal came out one day last week in a puff of over 50 lines for Dr. King for sheriff. Whether it is a paid puff or voluntary work on the part of the Journal, we are not advised if the latter, how must Posey, Patton, Hiatt, and those other self sacrificing patriots feel toward the Journal when they did not get more than half that number of lines. King is the individual that was so terrifically beaten for trustee in republican Walnut township four yearB ago, and it may be that an extended notice is nccessary for him.

THE DECLINATION OF HARRISON. The declination of ex-President Harrison as published last week, not to again allow the use of his name as a candidate before the St. Louis republic an national vonvention is not particularly disappointing to anybody aside from a number of hungry politicians of his party in Indiana who anticipated prospectire spoils in the event that he should again be choseu. Harrison well knew that the sentiment for him in Indiana was not the sentiment of the party elsewhere that McKinley, Allison. Morton and Reed were all men of

WANT MORE MONEY. The electric light plant of this city 8661U6 to be an elephant 011 the hands of the officials. The day that the lightinu of the city was taken from the hands of the Thompson & Houston company until now, was unfortunate for the city. It has fastened a debt upon the city upon which the tax-payers are paying a big interest, and when that debt will be wiped out the Lord only knows. It is now proposed and favored by most of the council that a further debt of $15,000 be assumed, the capacity of the plant increased and consumers in every part of the city be permitted to use incandescents. It is thought by this plan that the plant may, in a few yea«, become self sustaining, and even make some money for the city. This certainly can never be. So long as men are selected for their partizan activity and "pulls" they may possess with this or that interest, so long will city affairs be in a muddled and badly financiered condition. A good politician, or even an indifferent one, is generally a very poor business man. That is the kind generally chosen in Crawfordsville. The best advice to be given regarding the electric light business is that the plant be sold as soon as possible to the best bidder, and the city get out of the business as soon as possible. Placing the owners of it under certain restrictions regarding its management and selling it at the best available figuros iB assuredly the best way out. If the city could obtain two-thirds of its cost it should take it. It will be money made in the long run. The candidates this year whose platform is the extinguishment of the debt and opposition to further improvements until it is paid, wili receive the strongest support of the voters.

WALLACE A CANDIDATE Speaking of tho republican candidates for S. Senator before the next legiblature, the Chicago inter-Ocean says of Gen. Wallace, jf this city.

Gen. Low Wallace hns made up his mind to enter the contest, and will, doubtless, prove a strong factor. His name will carry with it a prestige that will bring to him considerable support. Another point in his favor lies in the fact that both McKeen and Fairbanks are millionaires and owe their wealth largely to their connection with railroad corporations. Mr. McKeen's claim lies in the fact that he is an excellent man, a staunch republican, and has always been a liberal contributor to campaign funds. Mr. Fairbanks has all these qualities, and, in addition, is an excellent speaker and has stumped tho State for the party several times.

May be it will be well for these gentlemen to wait awhile and tirst ascertain whether the next legislature will be of the kind that will give either of them the senatorial position. Some times people miss it in counting chickens before they are hatched, the brood often being short in the number hoped for.

OXKY, the main republican candidate for Governor, refused to make a personal canvass for the placs, for the reason, as his friends assert, he is at the head of six manufacturing establishments and has not the time. A man so busily engaged would hardly have the time to be Governor, and quite probable the peo pie will insist that he ramain where he is.

The Proper Time

When the most benefit is to be derived freni a good medicine, is early in the year. This is the season whon the tired body, weakened organs and nervous system yearn for a building-up medicine like Hood'B Sarsaparilla. Many wait for the open spring weather and, in fact, delay giving attention to their physical condition so long that a long seige of sickness is inevitable. To rid the system of tho impurities accumulated during the winter season, to purify tho blood and to invigorate the whole system, there is nothing equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla Don't put it off. but take Hood's Sarsaparilla now. It will do you good. Read the testimonials published in behalf of Hood's Sarsaparilla all from reliable, grateful people. They teil the story.

Relief is immediate a cure certain. This remedy is rich in the curative principles of the balsams and also contains certain ingrediants that are new.

"Bacteria do not occur in the blood or in the tissues of a healthy living body, either of man or the lower animals." So says the celebrated Or. Koch. Other doctors say that the best medicine to render the blood perfectly pure and healthy is Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
