Spring
Medicine
has attained as a Spring Medicine Is simply wonderful. It Is recognized everywhere as the leading preparation for this season, and no other article in the market begins to reach the sale which this medicine has gained. Any druggist will confirm this statement. Hood's Sarsaparilla has rcachcd this position of the people's favorite spring medicine, because ft does all that is claimed for it. It contains those properties which are known to medical science as powerful in removing poisonous impurities froin the blood, and by their tonic cfleet to restore waste tissues and drive away weakness and debility.
I am having a good trade on ITood's Sarsaparilla now, and those who use it think it the best blood and tonic remedy on the market." J. F. HITE, Owcnsboro, Ky.
Eternal Vigilance
Is the price of good health. But with all GIG precaution wc may take there are enemies always lurking about our systems, only wait Jnt: a favorable opportunity to assert fhen selves. Scrofula and oilier impurities in the blood may be hidden for years or even for generations, and suddenly break forth, undermining health and hastening death. For all diseases arising from impure blood
Hood's Sarsaparilla Is the unequalled and unapproaehed remedy. It is King of them all, for it conquers disease. It builds up in a perfectly natural way all the weakened parts, vitalizes, enriches and
Purifies the Blood And assists to healthy action those important organs, the kidneys and liver. If you need a good medicine you should certainly take

FOR THE BOARD TO CONSIDER The Auditor is now milking a now set of transfer books for the county, These books are necessary to Ihe oilice, in fact it cannot run without then. They are
he constructs his tax duplicates. For this work Mr. Goben expects to bleed the county to the tune of ten cents a description, for every piece of hind and every town lot in the county. His bill will amount to probably SI .000 or SI.'200. There is no statutory provision for the allowance of any such claim. The law provides that he shall have ten cents per description for each deed transferred but it does not provide for constructive fees for making transfer books, and any such account is illegal and a clear robbery of the county. The Auditor of Clinton county, Mr. Gaskill, had his bill for this work disallowed, and was glad to compromise lb.' a very small sum, as he knew the making of the books would embarrass the Auditor worso than anybody else and therefore ho should make them. The deed records of tho county are all the public needs. While not so convenient as the transfer books, they aro amply sullicient for the purposes of abstracting. The Auditor is not entitled to a single cent for milking transfer books, any more than he is entitled to a extra pay for making the tax duplicates for the county. Goben has bled the gravel road fund every year since he has been in office by collecting transfer feeB, —money to which he had no shadow of title, and for the payment of which no provision is made in the gravel road law. He has collected each year one cent each for filing 16,000 assessors' blanks and an equal number of statistical blanks when they are bound in books and left in the office, and he would be entitled to only one cent for each book. The filing of a transcript in the Supreme Court means one file mark, not a file mark and a charge for every motion, demurrer or what-not contained in the transcript. It remains to be seen whether the Board will be put to sleep to the people's interest by the siren Bmile of Mr. Goben. That smile which ripples up and down the earth with steady sweep and never ending undulations accompanied by a picturesque and heretofore unknown clasp of the hand and soft whisper in the lng of humanity bos brought disaster upon
disaster on the heads of the good people of the comity. They have stood like young geese open-mouthed in a thunder storm, charmed by the smile, the shake and soft voice in the ear, while Goben the alleged reformer has

The Board by keeping awako to 1 tho interests of the people, and saying, "get thee behind me, Satan'' to the smile, tho shake and the swoet voice can save in June next some §1,200 to §1,500 to the people of the county. It is high time the people and not the personal interest of smooth tongued politicians would claim the attention of tho Board and County Attorney. The Republican
Commissioners and Attorney can do the county good ero they turn it over to the bats and owls, clansmen, spoilsmen and ringsters. THE JOURNAL demands that they do their duty, and urges the tax burdened people of the county to urge upon tho Commissioners tho necessity of economy, and of giving a black eve to the Democratic crowd of ringsters •ind crows which ever since last November liiivo dreamed of nothing but spoils.
TIIE Philadelphia Times shows how the local building association may prosper and give shareholders a fair profit on their deposits while the national association which offers large interest on investments must fail. "In the hitter," it says, "the expenses absorb the profits, and in the former there are practically no expense." The national associations have presidents, secretaries, &c., drawing large salaries. In local associations no one except the secretary gets any pay. The Times says: v" "Men do not devote their entire nme —can not do it. in fact—to an enterprise of this kind (national associations) without compensation, let their intentions bo ever so honest. The only condition upon which the building and loan association can be made profitable to shareholders is that of mutual organization for the general benefit, the shareholders meeting once a month to pay their dues, and employing a secretary who is only paid for tho time ho actually spends in his work. This condition does not and can not exist in connection with the national associations, thus ren-! doring it practically impossible that they can bo either as safe or profitable as the local associations."
THE editor of the Macomb (HI.) Bystander says tliat when the McKinley law wiis first passed lie thought it would be hurtful to tho best interests of tho country, and so declared, but now ho says: "In this opinion we were greatly mistaken, and now we have every reason to I believe the measure is one of the very
A large number of people aro making such revisions of opinions regarding the present tariff law. '.V
IT is now announced that Mr. Blaine will soon come out with a most positive refusal to allow his name to be used again in connection with tho Presidency. When Mr. Blaine says "no" he means it as was discovered at the Chicago convention in 1888.

DISPOSITION OF THE SURPLUS
Faying Old Debts of a Short-Sichted Congress. Three years ago all the wise democratic editors were in distress of mind because there was a good deal of public money lying idle in the treasury of the United States. This year they are in just a* violent distress of miird because the bulk of this public money has been devotedto public uses. "Where has the surplus gone?" they ask. A large part of it has gone to pay for the follies, the stupid, short-sighted, unpatriotic, candle end and cheese paring "economies" of the years when the house was democratic. A very large part of it has gone to redeem the country's solemn promises to its old soldiers and their families. A part ol it has gone to pay the country's overdue debts to other creditors, white and red. A considerable part of it has gone to strengthen the country's seacoast defenses and build up its navy—uses, it will be remembered, urged by the late Hon. Samuel

YOU'D NEVER (JET to
J. Tilden, almost with his dying breath, as among the best to which the surplus could possibly be devoted. If the democratic criticism of the appropriations were a shade less glaringly partisan and more candid, less hysterical and more intelligent, it would carrygreater weight with the public. Sensible men know that the cost of government necessarily increases with the growth of the country. Tlicy do not like to see extravagance in public expenditure, and they have as little liking for a blind and bungling parsimony. They know that in the long run it is likely to prove the costlier evil of the two.—Hartford Courant.
CURRENT COMMENT.
E2F"There never was a party more misrepresented and slandered than the republican party, but any party will be misrepresented in the degree that it is progressive and positive.—Sioux City Journal.
S21F"lf the democratic congressmen thought that Keed was a ''czar" in the speaker's chair, when he gets among them on the floor they will think he is a nihilist, with a bomb in each pocket. —Chicago Journal.
E^"In legislation obstruction is a great deal easier than construction. The troubles of the democracy will begin when, three-quarters of a year hence, they assume the latter role. —St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Exit's dollars to cents that the new house next December will adopt the principle of the much abused "Reed rules" for its own government. Reed's vindication is bound to come at the hands of his enemies.—Toledo Blade. t®~Speaker Reed had 110 apologies to make and nothing to "take back" at the end of the stormy life of the remarkable congress which has now passed into history. Those who went out to see that Reed shaken in the wind of bourbon abuse were disappointed.—Cleveland Leader.
JSgT'Tlie report that the Arkansas democrats are preparing to repeat their old methods of fraud and violence in the spring elections is not at all surprising. Force of habit, if nothing else, will cause them to stuff the ballot boxes and shoot wayfaring negroes to a sufficient extent to maintain their majority.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The Charges Against Camp Morton. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 27.—The
G. A. R. committee Investigation of the charges against Camp Morton finds that during January of 1864, the time particularly mentioned by Dr. Wyeth in his charges, there were 2,919 persons confined at the camp. During this month 90,460 rations were issued, which consisted of 2,148 rations of pork, 88,006 of bacon, 51,006 of fresh beef, 8,880 of flour, 26,942 of hard bread, 7,867 of beans, 5,288 ol potatoes, 2,926 of rice, 875 of hominy, 4,487 of brown coffee, 526 of tea, 18,569 of sugar, 904 of vinegar, 1,131 of candles, S,G19 of soap, 8,892 of salt, 226 ol pepper and 226 ol molasses. A furthei investigation will be made.
