Is tlio most ancient and most general of all diseases. Scarcely a family is entirely free from it. while thousands everywhere are its suffering slaves. Hood's Sarsaparilla has had remarkable success in curing every fom of scrofula. The most severe .nd painful running sores, swellings in the neck, or goitre, humor in the eyes, causing partial or total blindness, have yielded to the powerful effects of this medicine. It thoroughly removes every trace of impurity from the blood and builds up the weakened system.

The Worst Type.

My son was afflicted with the worst typo of scrofula, and on the recommendation of my Druggist I gave him Hood's Sarsaparilla. Today he is sound and well, notwithstanding it was said there was not enough medicine in Illinois to effect a cure." J. CHKISTIAU Illiopolis, III.

Is more especially than any other a hereditary disease, and for this simple reason: Arising from impure and insufficient blood, the disease locates itself in the lymphatics, which are composed of white tissues there is a period of ftwtal life when the whole body con-

Farmers' Alliance is about to

swoop down on Montgomery county in dead earnest. The organizers have given warniug that they will be here next week. Let us hope that the Knight's of Reciprocity will soon follow.

THIS declamation contests being held all over the county together with the final contest at Cruwfordsville are worthy of every encouragement and TUB JOURNAL takes pleasure in printing reportB of theai. We hope it will never happen that these contests are cursed with the intrigue and scheming which too often disgraces college contests.

Tin Review, which is supposed to reflect Democratic opinion dosn't like the new fee and salary law. The fact is nobody is in love with it. It is BO clearly a subterfuge and a fraud that it will become odious to the people long before the time for it to go into effect. You can fool all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time.

COUNCILMAN JONES says that Councilman Soott told him and Councilman Reynolds that an attempt was made to bribe him (Scott) with §1,000. Mr. Scott does not deny it and Mr. Reynolds says if the matter is pushed any further it will be made public. Hut the people demand that it be made public any way. Does any sane man suppose that after Mr. Scott has refused the bribe and the affair has gotten into print the bribers)will persist in their duty schemes:* Well, hardly. No doubt they are now shaking in their boots and they should be made to feel the rough hand of the law.

IN accordance with the arrangement made before the bill passed creating the appellate court Governor Hovey has appointed the five Judges, viz: George L. lleinhart, of Spencer county Jeptha D. Kew, of Jennings county James B. Black, of Marion county Milton 8. Robinson, of Madi

son county Edgar D. Crumpacker, of Porter county. Reinhart and New are Demoorats and Black, Robinson and Crumpacker are Republicans. The material selected is only ordinary.

THE APPELLATE COTOT JUDGESHIP. The delegation of gentlemen who went over to Indianapolis to personally urge the appointment of Hon. P. S. Kennedy to a place on the new Appellate court benoh returned on Tuesday with the information that the matter had already been decided in favor of Col. J. B. Black, of Indianapolis, without even so much as an examination of the fitness and claims of others whose names had been presented. Mr. Kennedy had filed the most urgent request of the entire bar of Crawfordsville, both Republicans and Democrats, in language as strong as it could be written, urging his ability and fitness for the plaoe. In like manner he was endorsed by thj ent:re bars of Covington, Terre Haute, Danville, Lebanon, Frankfort and other places, and many of the ablest lawyers in various parts of the State had certified to his ability and peculiar fitness for the place in the strongest terms, one eminent jurist of national reputation saying that he had no doubt Mr. Kennedy "could make a career on the bench that few judges have made in Indiana within the last thirty or forty years." But his papers were not even examined, nor were those of any other candidate, outside of Indianapolis, before the appointment was determined on. It was given out that the Governor's curious action in this matter was the result of a notion that the Judge from the Third district should reside in Indianapolis, which, it is plain to tee, would forever render ineligible to the the office, any and all who happen to be so unfortunate as not to live at the capital. It is certain the appointment of Colonel 13lack had been determined upon from the beginning and for some reason unknown to all but the Governor and those in his confidence, nothing could change it.

Colonel Black had held the office of Supreme Court Reporter, one of the best paying offices iu the State for eight years ho had been also for four years on the Supreme Court Commission at salary of S3,500 per annum. Ho had certainly been sufficiently rewarded for all the services he had rendered the party, and it is conceded even by the bar of Indianapolis, that his fitness for the position bears no comparison to the fitneeB of Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Kennedy is a veteran in the Republican cause, and as was fitly expressed by an able Indianapolis attorney, his writings had become standard campaign literature, whioh was freely used by all the campaign speakers in the State and in other States. He has gone through mud and rain, where oity gentlemen were afraid of getting their clothes soiled, to do battle for the party in every campaign for thirty years. This party servioe ami his admitted fitness for the place, should have given it to him without a word of opposition from any quar ter. But some other organizatians are ungrateful as well as Republics. But, notwithstanding all this, Mr. Kennedy will continue to battle for the great principles of his party as he has done in the past.

THE FAYEHWEATHEB WILL. The New York Tribune, commenting on the termination of the Fayerweather will contest, sayB:

The controversy over the Fayerweather millions have been happily settled, the contestants have withdrawn and the will has been admitted to proDate. So fur as it is now possible to look into the future no further difficul ties except those whioh inevitably inhere in the distribution of a great estate are to be anticipated, and the institutions which are named in the will and the deed of gilt, may reasonably expect to enter upon the enjoyment of their legacies before long. The end of this contest, whi-h at first threatened to bo stubborn and from a public point of view most unfortunate, is a triumph for common sense. The settlement is undoubtedly a compromise, but it is not of such a character as to reverse or even s( riously modify the intentions of the testutor. His widow and two nieces will receive additional allowances, but the sums set apart for this purpose are presumably not very large as compared with the whole estate. To all practical intents Mr. Fayer weather's munificent plans for the promotion of human welfare will be completely fulfilled.

The Tribune further says, "(he amount devised by the will and that specifically bestowed by the deed of gift together largely exeed §4,000,000 and it is to be inferred that the executors expeot a handsome sum to be loft lor a final division among the institutions which they specify in the instrument lately signed by them and made public." The will gave to Wabash College 850,000 and the deed of gift 850,000 additional. The residue still in the hands of the executors may give to the college §25,000 more.

THE present township assessors will continue iu office under the new law until April, 189-1, and will be ineligible to re-election. They are to assess property at its true cash value. The office of the couuty assessor is created and which officer is to be appointed for the present year by the county com

missioners on the first Monday in April. His compensation is $3 a day in assessment of the real estate and will serve until the general elections next year.

A COLLEGE^TUDENT'S VIKW OF IT. Mr. Thomas E. Chappell won the prize for oratory at the Nebraska State university. His oration was on that question over which statesmen and sages have wrestled in vain, "What Shall Be Done with the Negro?" In the confusion of plans for disposing of the African in America, perhaps a young man's idea as good as anybody's. At any rate Mr. Chappell's speech was a very good specimen of oratory, and if statesmen and sages north and south could persuade themselves to take his rose colored view of the negro's future they would be saved sleepless nigbts and anxious days. We print here the close of Mr. Chappell's oration, in order to encourage young people to try to be orators:

Tile north is no longer an ovcrsympathctic champion of the negro'ajJghts. She is taking a broader view of the situation. She is beginning to sympathize with the sonth and to consider her welfii.ro ns well as that of the negro. Tho south is now entering upon anew era of prosperity and development. In the near future, hy a union of the labor of the negro, tho capital of the north and resources of the south, she will lead tho world in tho multiplicity and importance of her industries. Sho is beginning to realize her dependence upon the negro. She sees that he is peculiarly adapted to her climate and to the labor sho needs. In short, that he is an inseparable part of her future greatness.

Tho viow that tho negro is taking of tho situation is indeed oncouraging. He is beginning to see that there is no high road to civilization that he must ascend the ladder of material, moral and intellectual progress, as other races have done that ho must begin at tho bottom and make the slow and painful ascent round by round that no war measure, no stroke of political power, no amount of legislation will enable him to reach the top at a singlo bound. In his own v»ords: "We believe that our future depends infinitely more upon ourselves than upon any other agency. It is high time for us to ceaee .following tho ignis fatuus of politics and to begin the work of development along those lines only on which real progress is possible. Tho politician has long since exhausted his storehouse for us."

The thoughts of tho negro are no longer upon revenge. His faeo is turned toward tho future —a future full of realization for his noble aspirations. He. full of hope, peering out through the darkest night of oppression, believes that even now ho sees, though dimly, the first rays of the sunlight of froedorn—harbingers of his glad day of liborty. Ho knows that his greats est foes are ignorance and supcrstitution. Ho 6ees arrayed against him an unalterable color line, the prejudices of his white brethren, aod that fiercest of human passions, race antipathy. But on tho other hand, he musters for tho conflict patience, endurance, industry, education, religion. He sees upon his side the hearts and tongues of a vast multitude of loyal men and women, who are ever arrayed against injustice—pious Christian hearts that beat in unison with the pulsations of freedom in his own breast. Ho calls up before him that long lino of heroes who freely poured out their blood that the tree of liberty might bo nourished.

The voices of Harriet Beechcr Stowe, of Wendell Phillips and of Abraham Lincoln are still echoing in his ears, urging him on to tho contest and to victory. Then in a transport of the imagination, he is carried forward to tho end of the struggle. Tho smoke of battle clears away, and there spreads out before his vision a scene that gladdens his weary heart. Upon every hill and plain of his beloved country he sees his people living in happy homes, beloved and honored by all. He hears tho hum of mighty industries, and sees hi« brother taking aai honorable share in every branch of production. Tho land is flllcd with schools and churches In which all mingle joyfully, without respect to raco or color. Ho sees tho principle of universal brotherhood of man triumph Ho has won for himself a useful and honorablo position in the government and in society.

THE question has been asked why the Democratic press of this oity does not defeijd John L. Goben from the charges made by Tflffi JOURNAL, The papers are generally anxious to defend one of their own party, no matter how crooked he goes. The statements made by THE JOURNAL are serious ones, but not one word defense of the accused has been returned by the Review. "Why does not Brother Luse come fowrad and excuse the erring brother in some way? It is possible that the Auditor has no friend to raise a hand for him:1 There is evidently a hard row ahead of Mr. Goben, if the organ goes back on him. It is high time the Review was coming to the front. We anxiously await developments.

A Bl(iiil»r of the I.uwmakors. IN I A A roi,is, Ind., March 11.—After all the hill which provides that no stockholder in a corporation shall have more than one vote, no matter how many shares he may have, lias become a law. When the senate in the closing hours of the session discovered that such a bill had been passed and reconsidered its action on the measure, it was supposed that it could be prevented from becoming a law: but the discovery was made Tuesday that it had been signed by the governor. and will therefore go into operation if it is not found by the courts to be defective or unconstitutional. It is likelv to cause a vast amount of trouble to corporations and stock companies, because it places in the power of a few men having small interests the control of companies owned almost wholly by others. It is amazing and wholly inexplicable that the bill shonld have gone through the legislature without itsextraordinar.v provisions having been discovered.

H«'fused Their Commissions. INDIANAI'OI.IS. Ind.. March 11.—Montgomery Marsh and Silas \V. Male, elected trustees for the Kastern hospital for the insane by the legislature, liled their bonds and oaths with the secretary of state Tuesday, but did not get their commissions irom (iov. Hovey, and will not unless the supreme court says they shall have tlieui. The governor lias served notice that he will not issue commissions to any of the legislature's appointees except State Librarian Dunn, and the trustees who have not applied for their commissions will not probably do so, as they know the application would ne in vain. Mandamus proceedings will ho brought to compel the governor to issue the commissions.

THE ELEOTIOS LAW.

The Several Amendments to the Law as Passed-Its ProvisionsThe election law was amended in several particulars as indicated by the following: Sees. 1 and 4 are far a reduction of expenses by restricting publication of notices. Sec. 2 permits political parties to pay one challenger and one poll-book holder at each precinct, not to exceed $3 for his services. Sec. 3 provides that no candidate's name shall appear more than once on the ballot for the same office. Sec. 5 changes the lorm of the ballot, requiring that the device at the head of each ticket shall be inclosed in a large square, and sec. 9 changes the manner of voting to conform to this change in printing. If the voter desires to vote a straight ticket he may stamp the large t-qunre inclosing the uevice, but must stump no where else. If he desires to scratch he must stamp each name he votes for. There is but one method of scratching. Sec. provides for an additional "upply of state ballots and stamps tr. be used in case ot loss in any preoinct. Sec. 7 changes the initials of the poll clerks from tho lower left left-hand corner to the upper right-hand corner of the ballot. Sec. 8 gives employers and employes the privilege of aereeing on whatever time for voting may be convenient. Sec. 12 provides penalties for the multilation of ballots by election officers. Sec. 13 excludes "watchers" from the election room. Sec. 14 applies the Australian system to towu and city elections.

Sees. 10 and 11 were added by amendment after the bill was introduced. Sec. 10 is designed to meet the alleged constitutional objection that the law did not allow a man to vote for any one he desired. It provides that a person desiring to vote for a candidate whose name is not on the ballot may have printed a complete list of the names of the persons for whom he desires to vote and paste this on the official ballot. He must then stamp in front of the names so pasted on. Any distinguishing mark on the paster vitiates the ballot. Seo. 11 adds sec. 47 of the old law to sec. 47, as a matter ot convenience in drafting the amendments. There are several minor points included in the sections named, the objection of which is to make certain various points that wero in controversy during the last campaign. Tho important changes are the square surrounding the devioe, limiting scratching to one method and the use of the complete poster.

House bill 320, introduced by Mr. Kyle, re-enacts the registration section of the election law which was thrown out by the supreme court. It is amended to agree as nearly as possible with that decision, by omitting all reference to absentees from tho State on business of the State or the United States, and providing that registration may be made to within fifty nine days of the election.

House bill 320, by Kyle, provides that any elector who has been absent for Bix months previous to election in another State, or who has not been a resident of the county for BJ'X months, shall register in the circuit court his intention to vote at least fifty-nine days before election this does not apply to any one who six months or more before election registers his intention of retaining his residence while absent from tho State, no person shall register for another or advise another not to register a violation is punishable by from one to five years in the penitentiary: emergency.
