FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1896.
UNDER the new law to prevent padding in the enumeration of school children, the returns show that the total number in the State will be 60,000 less than the total of last year. The law has answered the purpose for which it was passed and the people should be pleased with its operations.
FOB a man who can say so much about the tariff the mystery is how McKinley can say so little about the money question.—Argus-News.
If the Argus-News can wait a short time Major McKinley will hand out his letter of acceptance. It will be sound and instructive reading on the financial and other political questions of the day.
THE reduction in salaries of officers and employes of the city by the action of the City Council on Monday evening amounts to 81,325, just about the same figures that the celebrated caucus agreed to on Saturday night, to which the Argus News gave its assent and warmly approved, and became very indignant because some one gave the snap away.
BOTH Illinois and Ohio have adopted the Torrens system of transferring real estate. It has been in operation for some months in Illinois and it seems to work well. The people are pleased with it because of its simplicity and the great reduction in the expense incident to the abstracting of titles. It is only a question of time until the same system will prevail in Indiana.
THE New York Tribune tersely and truthfully says that no man is bigger than the Republican party, and therefore the party always makes its own platform. The Republican party has solved problems a thousand times more difficult than the financial question, and when the time comes will settle that to the satisfaction of every fairminded and honest man—and very easily at that, too. The protective tariff is the real issue, not the money question.
THE State convention made no mistake in naming W. S. Haggard, of Tippecanoe, as the candidate for Lieuten-ant-Governor. He is a man of exalted abilities, and has had large experience both as a legislator and in public affairs generally. Should anything occur that Governor Mount could not serve his term, Judge Haggard is big enough to step in his shoes. Moreover, the Judge is a veteran soldier, having served three years at the front. Mount and Haggard make good running mates.
OF the $600,000 that has been loaned by Methodist colleges to impecunious students seeking an education' that they may preacli the gospel only 850,000 has ever been paid back. This fact was brought out at the present general conference, and is not a credit to the ministerial students of that denomination. It would seem that the education in honesty had been sadly neglected in Methodist colleges. This remark not only applies to Methodist institutions, but to all colleges who make similar loanB. Such a state of affairs is not encouraging. ..
THE Argus News says Saturday's convention should declare for sound money or pass no resolution at all. That is to say if it does not pass a sound money resolution it Bhould "straddle." It is apples to doughnuts that if a resolution is passed it will favor the free and»unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. Notwithstanding the gallant fight that paper has been making in support of the Cleveland idea the majority of the Democratic party in Montgomery county may be set down as free silver ites. And they will all vote for Jo Cheadle-
THEBE is no law under the sun to compel the Democratic members of the City Council to accept the salaries of 8140 a year. If they think their ser viceB are worth only 875 a year they should turn the difference back into the treasury. This would be some evi' dence that they were sincere in the "retrenchment and reform" business. Inasmuch as they voted on Saturday night in favor of 8140, we take it that they are too sensible to throw 865 over their shoulders. A City Councilman whether he be Democratic or Republi can, earns 8140 in "cusses" to say noth ing of the work he performs.
ON THEoFIRSX BALLOT. All the delegates to the St. Louis convention have now been chosen and the statisticians are now at work figuring on the final result. The New York Tribune gives McKinley 557 delegates while counting 65 as doubtful. The Philadelphia Press gives McKinley 531 votes, with 98 in the doubtful list. The Chicago Times Herald gives McKinley 581, Reed 103, Morton 5S, Quay 60, Allison 35, Bradley 16, and placeB 67 in the doubtful list. All three papers are friendly to McKinley. The New York Herald (unfriendly to McKinley) puts 63 delegates in the doubtful list, and gives McKinley 546, Reed 120, Morton 69, Allison 39, Quay 58, Cullom 9, Bradley 16 necessary to a choice, 459. As to the contests the Eterald says: "Including the contest over the seating of twelve delegates from New York, the title to the seats of 116 delegates is disputed. There are twenty contests in Alabama, eight in Florida, ten in Georgia, two in Kentucky, two in Pennsylvania, ten in South Carolina, four in Tennessee,
Bix
in Virginia, six in Arizona and thirty in Texas. Of these sixty-eight are against McKinley men, but in some instances McKinley men are fighting McKinley men, so that the result will not be affected, no matter how the contests are decided. If, however, McKinley should lose the entire sixtyeight votes it would reduce his vote to 478, or nineteen more than a majority of all the delegates in the convention."
CONCERNING REFORM. The Argus-News is not anything i' it is not amusing. In the first place it goes into conniption fits because the plans of a celebrated caucus held on Saturday night were thwarted and the election of a reform Democrat to an important position prevented. It mourns as one without hope Because it was a "complete loss of all the Democrats had gained in a non-partisan city clcction." A "non-partisan Democrat" is good. The Argxis-News gives its entire approval and acquiescence to the action of that caucus. Among other things it fixed the salaries of Councilmen at 8140 per year with 810 additional for the Chairman of the Board of Public Improvements:' the Mayor's salary, 8650: Marshal's sialary, 8650 Clerk, 8675 Treasurer, 8500 Attorney, 8500 City Engineer, 8700 Chief Fire Department, §50 per month four firemen, 50 per month each four policemen, 850 per month each Superintendent Electric Light, 860 per month one engineer, 870 per month one engineer, 865 one fireman, 850 per month one lineman, 850 per month one assistant lineman, 830 per month one trimmer with horse, 855 Secretary Board of Health, 875 per year: day laborers, 15 cents per hour the same with teams, 30 cents an hour. After giving in its adhesion to these figures and slapping Councilman Hutton in the face for divulging the secrets of the caucus which "forced them to abandon the slato," it proceeds in the next paragraph in a most summary manner to rip up the Republican members and the Mayor for adopting substantially the same figures which it had just the moment before approved. If it was a shameful action on the part of tour Republicans, it must have been equally shameful for three Democrats and three Republicans. Will the Argus-News point out where 85,000 could be saved in the list of salaries agreed to by the caucus and whose action it has approved? The truth of the matter is that all salaries are low enough and no persons know it any better than the Democratic members of the City Council, else they would not have voted for them in caucus. By their votes there they expressed their sincere sentiments. The motions made in open Council were mere buncombe.
The Rocky Mountain News when in its normal state of mind, is Republican. But it is now a raving victim of the free silver epidemic, and this accounts for its suggestion that the National Democratic convention shall nominate teller for President.—Louisville Times, Dem.
Even all the big city papers are not well informed. The Rocky Mountain News, when in its normal state ofmind
Democratic. It is edited by Hon. Thomas M. Patterson, who has for years been one of the Democratic leadleaders of the Centenial State. He represented the Territory as a Delegate in Congress before it was admitted as a State as a Democrat. He was a delegate to the Chicago convention in 1892 when Mr. Cleveland was nominated, and bolted. He went home and threw the influence of his paper to General Weaver who captured the electoral vote of that State. The Times should keep up with the procession.
THE Louisville Times, a Democratic organ of th$ gold wing, is not exactly satisfied with the late utterances of Governor Matthews on the money question. It wants to know what he means by the "right kind of a platform." It advises him to "waste no further time in devising phrases to cloak his thoughts. Either fish or cut bait. If in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver, say so. If in favor of some kind of compromise, say so. and tell what it is," and closes with this injunction: "Do not, at this
critical hour flunk! Live up to your record. In short, put up or shut up.'
THERE is just this difference between silver men and those who oppose a 16 to 1 movement—the latter will submit if beaten and support the ticket, but the 16 to 1 people say they will bolt if they can't have their way.—Argus News.
Tho Argils Neivs is looking foi a soft place to light when it flops over to the silver side. If the A. N. will but cast its eagle eye in the direction of Illinois and Iowa it will see that those Democrats who oppose the 16 to 1 movement do not propose to submit.
AT the Methodist General Conference at Cleveland Tuesday, Dr. C. C. McCabe was elected a Bishop on the fifteenth ballot, and Dr. Earl Cranston was elected on the sixteenth ballot. Both the new bishops served through the civil war, one as a chaplain, and the other as a captain in the Sixtieth Ohio. Both were born in in Athens, Ohio, and both have become distinguished men of the church.
THE Lafayette Times is hard to please. It says Governor MatthewB as a candidate for the Presidency is talking and writing too much, while in the same breath it accuses ex-Governor McKinley of talking too little.
Died.
Harry E. Ammerman, the two year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Ammerman, of Kingman, died Thursday of last week after an illness of several weeks with congestion of the brain. Funeral services were conducted Friday morning at 6 o'clock after which the mourning friends took up their sad march to Alamo where the remains were laid to rest in the Alamo cemetery. Although but two years and five months of age Harry's life was one of affliction ever since he could walk, occasioned by a severe fall which injured the spine. The pain seemed to be intense all the time, resulting in the above mentioned illness but it was wonderful how the little fellow bore up under such a load of afflictions until his death relieved him of his terrible pain. God in his infinite mevey permitted Harry's life to bud here on earth only soon to bloom in heaven where there is no suffering. What a comfort it ought to be to the parents whose heads are bowed with their first great sorrow to know that when they are done with life little Harry awaits them in heaven. F. S. R.
A Wonderful Clip.
Hon. James A. Mount came in from his farm on Tuesday with the clip of wool from his fine heard of sheep. The flock is a cross between the Merino and Cotswold and Mr. Mount raises them both for the wool and mutton. The results he gets from this enterprise show that he thoroughly understands the sheep business. He sold 230 fleeces this morning which weighed 2,292 pounds, or almost an average of 10 pounds per fleece. This wool was sold to McClure & Grabam for 15 cents per pound, netting Mr. Mount the neat sum of 8343.80. The wool was pronounced the very best that had come to the market here. Mr. Mount Monday sold sixty yearlings that averaged over 125 pounds at 83.65 per hundred.
Thus Mr. Mount demonstrates that, notwithstanding these days of close margins, there is still some money in growing good sheep.

THE BLUES.
A Graphic Description of the Dreadful Feeling.
What Is meant by This Form of Acuta Misery—Where Doctors Slake Mistakes.
When a cheerful, brave, light-hearted •woman is suddenly plunged into that perfection of misery, the BLUES, it is a sad picture.
It is usually this way She has been feeling out of sorts for some time head has ached, and back also has slept poorly been quite nervous, and nearly fainted once or twice head dizzy, and heart has I [1/ beat very fast then that bearing-down feeling. Her doctor says, cheer up, you have dyspepsia you'll be all right soon."
But she doesn't get all right." She grows worse day by day, till all at once she realizes that a distressing female complaint is established.
Her doctor has made a mistake. She has lost faith in him hope vanishes then comes the brooding, morbid, melancholy, everlasting BLUES. Her doctor, if he knew, should have told her and cured her, but he did not, and she was allowed to suffer. By chance she came across one of Mrs. Pinklianvs books, and in it she found her very symptoms described and an explanation of what they meant. Then she wrote to Mrs. Pinkliam, at Lynn, Mass., for advice, feeling that she was telling her troubles to a woman. Speedy relief followed, and vigorous health returned.
Lydia E. Pinklmm's Vegetable Compound instantly asserts its curative powers in all those peculiar ailments of women. It has been the standby of intelligent American women for twenty years, and the story recited above is the true experience of hundreds of women, whose letters of gratitude are to be found or. file in Mrs. Pinkhaui's library.
