FOR PRESIDENT,

WILLIAM

MCKINLEY,

Of the United States.

SENATOR DAVIS, of Minnesota, has withdrawn from the Presidential race. Thus another "favorite son" has pone down under the wheels of the McKinley car.

PLATT, Quay and Clarkson, the antiMcKinley bosses, are now conjuring with the name of ex-President Harrison. It is to be hoped that none of the Indiana delegation to St. Louis will listen to the song of this siren. These Judases would betray Harrison as they betrayed Blaine at Minneapolis. After enticing the "plumed Knight" into their lair by their seductive arts they humiliated him by casting their votes for McKinley. It is pleasing to note that there is no activity among Harrison's genuine friends in this direction. This game will prove to be as losing as that of the "favorite gson" game which has been played for all it is worth.

NEW YORK has what is known as a corrupt practices law. It applies only to candidates for office. They are required to make report of their expenditures during their campaign for election. It has been found that the law is not water tight, and a bill is now pending in the Legislature to include political committees. The bill, which has been favorably reported, provides that every political committee in any campaign shall have a treasurer, who shall keep a detailed account of all money or equivalents of money received by or promised to such committees and of the mony in which the same is expended or promised or otherwise disposed of by such committee or any of its members. Within thirty days after any election such treasurer shall file a statement of the receipts, expenditures and liabilities of such political committee.

THE one item of hay is an interesting study for the farmers. The reports show that this one product of the farm brought into the country since the enactment of the Wilson law has been more than double what it was in the corresponding length of time under the McKinley law. The official figures for the first seventeen months of the Wilson law show a total importation of 373,SCO tons of hay, against 140,083 tons in the last seventeen months of the McKinly law. This shows an increase of 233,778 tons. It will thus be seen that the importations under the new law by reason of the enormous reductions in tariff rates, have increased more than 150per cent., and that nearly two million dollars, which would otherwise have gone to the farmers of the United States, has gone out of the country by reason of the increased purchases of hay from abroad, brought in as a result of the reductions in rates of duty.

NAMES in a popular canvass are sometimes the most powerful of arguments. Every voter n®w knows that four years ago what was deiisively called "McKinleyism" meant to him personally higher wages, and meant to the eoun' try protection and prosperity. Every voter knows that the mistaken abandonment of it brought panic, lower wages, less consumption, long continued hard times. Why should not Republicans now brush away Mr. Cleveland's cheap imitations of old Democratic devices to make the country forget their blunders at home and abroad by reviving the war spirit and at once clarify and inspire the canvass by putting forward the one name that means, to every voter in the Union, a return to the old system, which gave prosperity, and the abandonment of which brought disaster? Why help Cleveland to confuse and bewilder voters by ourselves trying to elevate side issues on which the party is not united, and neglect the one issue cn which it is not only absolutely united but on which it now counts hosts of supporters in the ranks of the Democracy itself? The very name of McKinley would bring the campaign to the true fighting ground, and furnish inspiration for the fight. Like others he has fought for the flag, and stands for the National honor, and for honest money. But above all he stands for the system we mistakenly abandoned in 1892, and to which the people want to get back.

VOTING AT REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES."' Every since our recent primary election for Councilmen the question has been freely discussed as to the eligibility of voters. Many have contended that none but known Republicans should be permitted to vote, and the test to be applied was that they voted the Republican ticket at the last election. This would seem to be in conflict with the call of the National Committee, which invites all voters "without regard to past political affiliations, who believe in Republican principles and endorse the Republican policy," to participate ih the work of selecting the candidates of the party. These words were repeated by the Chairman of the Republican State Committee, and again by the Chairman of our County Central Committee in his several calls for the different conventions. No other qualification is required, and no local regulations of a different kind are permissible. It does not matter what a man has believed or how he has v.oted in the past if he is now willing to enlist- under the Republican banner. This is in harmony with the course that the Republican party has pursued ever since it was organized. A liberal and cordial invitation has been given in every instance to all voters entertaining Republican views and desiring Republican success. The door has been thrown open in a wide and hospitable sense, and newcomers have been welcomed without being subjected to any sort of invidious treatment. In other words, the way into the Republican camp has been made as easy and pleasant as possible, and this policy has proved to be an advantageous one, §nd the reasons for its continuance are sound and decisive, "It is the manifest purpose and interest of the party," as the National Committee says, "to extend rather than to contract its membership." The call for the convention was purposely made broad enough to include all who for any reason are now willing to vote the Republican ticket, regardless of what their political conduct may heretofore have been and all committees should see that full opportunity is provided for new recruits to take part in the primaries the same as if they had never been anything else but Republicans. Of course these remarks do not apply to Democrats who attempt to vote when it is plainly evident that it is done for sinister purposes.

"IT'S FOR A CORPSE." The New York Tribune tells the following good story illustrative of the present condition of the Democratic party:

They were a party of four—all Democrats, ail dispirited, all charging up with unhesitating generosity the party's entire embarrassment to the President. Suggestions as to the Chicago platform were going the rounds. And so was the decanter. One of them declared that if the National Convention adopted a free-silver platform the party would divide and go to wreck. Another predicted the same thing if the convention adopted a sound-money platform. The South, he asserted, would never submit to that. The third man, without indicating precisely where he stood, pronouncad against a straddle, which, he said, would butter no Democratic parsnips this year. "And yet," the three insisted in chorus, looking at the fourth man, who had not yet spoken, "we must have some sort of a platform." The fourth man, after acknowledging the salute and throwing off his liquor, said: "Gentlemen, let me tell you a little story. A poor woman entered a store and called for wrappers. The salesman spread quite an assortment on the counter and began his praises of the stock. Here were wrappers plain and wrappers ornamental wrappers with or without pockets all sorts and conditions of wrappers. The woman examined the display with great care, and seemed hard to please. This spurred the salesman on, and down came from the shelves a frebh assortment. And upon the merits and beauties of these the salesman set forth at length. The woman's indecision and some of her remarks became a little irritating. The salesman, however, looked on, and continued attentive, wondering what the trouble might be. His large experience suggested that it must be something unusual. 'These are all you have?' the woman inquired. 'Those are all we have, madam,' the salesman replied, 'and we think the stock very full and fine.' 'Well,' she remarked after another inspection of the wrappers, 'I don't know as it matters so much. It's for a corpse.'"

HON. .JAMES A. MOUNT. The Morton Club Monday passed a resolution warmly and enthusiastically endorsing the candidacy of Hon. James A. Mount for Governor. The Republicans of Montgomery county are in earnest in advocating the claims of Mr. Mount for this exalted position. They do so for the reason that they believe he possesses all tha elements that go to make him strong before the people. Do they want an educated man? They have one in Mr. Mount Do they want a candidate who can go upon the stump and measure blades with any man that may be pitted against him? They will have that candidate in Mr. Mount. Do they want a soldier, a man who served three years as a private and always at the front? They have that man in Mr. Mount. Do they want a man who is a friend of labor and who has dignified manual toil with his own hands? They have such a man in Mr. Mount. Do

they want a practical farmer, a man who will be equally at hoine in the Governor's chair or at the plow? Such a man is Mr. Mount. Do they want an all round good citizen whose labors have been unceasing for abetter and a higher civilization? They have such a man in Mr. Mount. And these are some of theoreasons why the Morton Club with such unanimity endorsed the hopes, the aspirations and the ambitions of one of Montgomery county:s most distinguished sons.

UTAH is the last State up to date which has adopted the Australian ballot system, for voting. With some modifications, this system is now in use in nearly, all the States of the Union. The rapidity with which it has been adopted is phenomenal, for it is less that ten years since it was first brought to the general attention of the people of this country. What every State needs is a corrupt practices law. The campaign expenses of a candidate for public office should be reduced to the minimum. Both candidates and political committees should bo compelled to render a strict account of all this expenditures. The Ohio Legislature has just passed a stringent act on this subject. Indiana should follow in the footsteps of Ohio and New York.

OBAVELLT RUN.

V. O. Pritchard, of Center Grove,was here last week. The long iooked for has arrived at last—the measles.

F. S. Quigg attended services at Center Sunday morning. Ed Conrad, of Darlington, was here Monday buying cattle.

Fred Barley, of Greenwood, attended services here Sunday. A1 Smith and family, of Garfield, were seen here last Sunday afternoon.

Miss Mary-E. Butler, of Farmers' Institute, is visiting relatives and friends here.

Charlie Lee still attends the singing school at Smartsburg conducted by Mr. McCloud.

Will Butler's left last Tuesday for Indianapolis, at which place Will has a good situation.

Aunt Eliza Cox, mother of Mrs. Amy A. Hall, of this place, has gone to Darlington to remain rn indefinite time.

Mr. Middletou will occupy the tenant house on A. P. Enoch's farm and assist Mr. Enoch and son with their farm work.

Messrs. Charley Halt and Gil Williamson were the fir&o victims of the measles, and are now ready to call on those who have them.

The neighborhood was well represented at Mr. Sutton's sale at Kingsley Chapel last Tuesday, and some purchases were made by persons from here.

Berry Bird's moved to Smartsburg Monday on the farm ohe recently purchased. Ora Enoch and wife have moved to the house vacated by Mr. Bird and family.

Next Sunday being the time for the quarterly review, the Sunday school has decided to conduct it ontthe plan suggested at our late convention. So come and see how interesting it will be. School commences at io o'clock a. ra., sharp

A petition has been circulated and will soon be presented to the board of county commissioners asking that a bridge be built across Walnut Fork just north of Smartsbarg. The movement is not a new one, the other petitions circulated being defeated.

The Lafayette Call says "the Quakers grew enthusiastic" at the late State oratorical contest over the honor bestowed upon Miss Simmons, the Earlham college contestant. What did a delegation from Lafayette, and the press, too, "do" over a disgraceful base bull game?

At the solicitation of a number of the East Garfield scribe's friends we beg leave to correct what we believe to be a misprint in the items of March 0th The item which read "We hope it is not us that rumor has it is to be married," should no doubt have read, "We do hope it is us," etc.

So far no one in this vicinity has announced himself as a candidate for any of the

rseveral

offices. Since Smarts-

buig, Flat Creek and Garfield are so near with their candidates, it may be possible we can "bask in the sunshine of their aspirations," or at the eleventh hour trot out a candidate that will be the "dark horse" of the coming campaign.

Race Between the Sexes for Education. Health Impaired by Incessant Study.

Then begin those ailments that must be removed at once, or they will produce constant suffering. Headache, dizziness, faintness, slight vertigo, pains in the back and loins, irregularity, loss of sleep and appetite, nervousness and bluns, with lack of confidence these are positive signs that Wo­

men's arch enemy is at hand. The following letter was received by Mrs. Pinlcliamin

May, one month after the young lady had first written, giving symptoms, and asking advice. She was ill and in great distress of mind, feeling she would not hold out till graduation, and the doctor had advised her to go home.
