FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1894.
STAMP the square surrounding- the eagle and stamp but once. Stamping more than once will invalidate your ballot.
REPUBLICANS, beware of the song of the Democratic siren when accompanied with money to induce you to change your residence.
IF McKinleyism is dead, what does that great McKinley meeting in New Orleans mean? It has mighty few of the features of a funeral about it.
Tiie election is only a little over a week away. Every Republican in the county should constitute himself a committee of one to see that his neighbor Republican is at the polls early on the morning of Tuesday, Nov. 0.
MICHAEL FOLEY, the statesman from Coal Creek, said in a speech at Alamo recentty that in 1861 he Republican party passed laws in the interest of the telephone trust. THE JOUKNAI, heretofore has had occasion to refer to Mr. Foley as a gentleman who is troubled with a diarrhoea of words and a constipation of ideas. In this case substitute the word facts" for "ideas."
UNDER the McKinley law the duty on horses was
$30
per head regardless
of kind. Under the Gorman law the duty on horses is 20 per cent ad valorem. The effect of the change is that all the cheap horses of Canada are now crowding the Eastern markets and cutting off the trade of our Western farmers. At a sale of Canadian horses in Chicago on Tuesday they sold as low as §17. Of course this makes our farmers feel cheerful.
TIIE local Democratic managers are as busy as a hen with one chicken in their efforts to whip in the kickers, the recalcitrants, and the dissatisfied. They find them not only in blocks of' five, but of tens and twenties. One of the dangers of the present Republican campaign is over-confidence, forgetting that the Democratic party does its best fighting under cover—that a still hunt is always preferable. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" holds as good in politics as in war.
Mjt. BHOOKSHIKK voted to tax sugar 40 per cent, and on the same day voted to put it on the free list. So far as his speeches are concerned, you cannot find out just which one of these votes expresses his real sentiments. But, it' is the rule in construing wills, where there are conflicting provisions that the last expression governs. Applying this principle of interpretation to Mr. Brookshire's votes, he is, like the Republican party, iu favor of free sugar. But. inasmuch as there is some doubt about his position we suggest to those Democrats who want free sugar that they had better vote for Faris, about whose position there is no doubt. 5
A Demockatic editor out in Oregon, after selling out his paper to a Republican rival, breathed a parting sigh as -lie said:
Our plant has been sold to a hated rival and a putrid reminiscence of Republicanism across the river and the faithful old type that have whooped it up so long for fat old (irover, the .stuffed prophet and uncrowned king of the true Democracy, will hereafter do degraded service in expounding the pernicious but profitable theories of protection to the political sinners of the Evergreen State. We wanted a Democratic government and we got it.
After nineteen months' experience with (Jrover and Billy Wilson's Congress we are willing to let go and give .the Republicans a chance. We are no hog.
Now that Secretary of State Myers is ill and has been compelled to quit the campaign the Democratic papers probably can give lion. W. I). Owen some decent treatment. It will be remembered that Mr. Owen •broke down early in the campaign and has spent most of his time since then in a sanitarium, but without consideration of truth or decency the Democratic organs sneered at his illness with the remark that he was afraid of his competitor. Neither Mr. Owen nor Mr. Myers are rugged men. It is we'll known that Mr. Owen has a predisposition of lung troubles and other complications, while Mr. Myers is a sufferer from chronic diseases contracted in the war. He was also injured in a railroad wreck a few years ago and these injuries are still troublesome. THE JOI-KNAL hopes that both gentlemen may entirely recover and that both may have many years before them.
IIOW TO VOTE.
There will be three ballots to vote at the coming election. The State ticket will be printed on red paper.
The county ticket will be printed on white paper. The township ticket will be printed on yellow paper.
Each voter will receive, on entering the voting place, from a polling clerk a State, county and township ticket. On the corner of each ticket will be written the initials of the polling clerks. The voter will then take the three tickets into the booth and stamp them, folding the tickets separately so that the initials of the polling clerk can be seen, and then return the tickets to the inspector and see that they are deposited in the proper ballot box. The color of the box will correspond with the color of the ticket.
To vote a straight ticket stamp in the square surrounding the eagle an no where else.
THE CINCINNATI !E.\ UIKKR. Wednesday, in summing up the political situation in Indiana says the present indications are that the Republicans wiil carry eight of the thirteen Congressional districts. That the only districts the Democrats have any hope of carrying are Second, Third, Fourth an^ Twelfth. It also predicts a sweeping Republican victory, unless the political situation changes radically within the next twelve days.

Our much talked of gravel road is done. Words cannot express our thanks for this improvement. Much credit is given to our superintendent for his earnest, faithful work. Also, for the readiness of each who subscibed to work out their subscription. Mr. Hankens favored us by letting us go through his place, there by, shuning some bad hills. We now have a mile and three-quarters of gravel road. The work was all done by donation. Save some spring work and land tax. Some did more than their share, while some did nothing. One man whose farm lays along the road did not even denate a single day's work. Such men will not be missed when they are gone.

The communion services of the Brethren were attended by the usual crowd of spectators Thursday night. For the benefit of those who are not acquainted with the customs of the brethren (better known as Dunkards)
we will give a brief sketch of the annual love feast or communion. Bethel church is a large commodious structure plainly built and consists of a large basement and pantry, audience room and a room in the second story, situated a mile and a half northwest of Ladoga. The basement is used to prepare the supper in, which is then taken to the audience room, where tables are prepared and the supper is eaten there. The services consist of short exhortations on self examination by different -ministers present, usually lasting about an hour. The audience is then dismissed ana the tables prepared. They are again called together by singing and prayer. The sisters are at liberty to offer prayer if any feel so inclined. The supper is then brought in by some of the brethren, who act as waiters. It consists of boiled beef, bread, beef soup and water. Before partaking of the supper, water is brought in basins and the ordinance of feet washing is observed as recorded inJohnxiii. After this the supper is eaten, then the salutation of the holy kiss or the kiss of charity is given as recorded in First Thess. 5: 26. The bread and wine are then partaken of, the unfermented juice of the grape being used. The tables are cleared and the meeting closes by prayer and singing. The sisters all wear the prayer covering or cap during the services. The basis for this practice is fouuu in First Cor. xi. The second story of the building is used as a bedroom by members coming from a distance. The following morning they again meet at morning worship, after which breakfast is served in the basement for all present. After breakfast has been disposed of there is preaching for about an hour. Then if enough provisions are left a lunch is served to those from a distance or all present. This closes the communion services. Everyone is gladly welcomed to these services who will mantain good order. The services are conducted in a quiet and orderly manner and command the respect of all who attend them. These people area strictly temperance people aud dress neatly and plainly, according to Tim. 2: '.). They also practice the annointing, according to James .I: 14-15.

Hon. George W. Faris, Republican candidate for Congress of the Eighth district, spoke here Friday night, Oct. 19, to a large audience of attentive and interested listeners. J. P. Wirt presided and introduced the speaker amid great applause. For more than an hour Mr. Faris discussed the leading political issues of the day, fairly, and says that on the sixth of November, Indiana will go Republican by a large majority. It was undoubtedly the largest and most interesting meeting of the kind we ever had here. Mr. Faris is a good man, and elegant speaker, and leaves a good impression wherever he goes. There is no doubt at all. but that he will be the next Congressman from this district. After Mr. Faris concluded, Thomas
T. Moore,
Joint Representative, was introduced and he gave quite an interesting talk for about forty minutes, on the present depression, its cause and cure.
