"I SPENT four years of my life shooting democrats —Joe Cheadle.
THE Omaha Exposition closes this week, but the stamps will go on for a long time.
"TRADE follows the flag," 6ays President McKinley. The sentiment pleases business men, and they can back it up with their votes two weeks from Tuesday.
AN early vote on election day does much to facilitate the work of the party organization. Make fyour arrangements to get to the polls right after breakfast.
THE time is drawing near for the appearance of the malicious campaign lie. Voters should not believe any story circulated to the detriment of any candidate on the eve of election.
No SANE person will deny that the times have materially improved since McKinley was elected and that they continue to improve. Sensible men will vote November 8 to let the good work go on.
TitK preliminary trial of the Infanta Maria Teresa, made since she passed into American hands, was much more satisfactory than any regular work the vessel ever performed for the Spanish government.
SENATOR TILLMAN hopes the Repub licans will carry the house because a Democratic majority would act like fools and spoil the chances for 1900, The -senator's promisee are correct, but are applicable to all the other years as well as 189S.
IT behooves Republicans to leave no stone unturned to assure a favorable outcome of the present election. They must turn out and vote and, in addi tion, work without ceasing for the party. The election is really the most important since the war, as far as the country's weal is concerned. The Democrats are liable to look upon the
war as a feather in the cap of Republicanism and spare no pains to minimize the fruits of the great victory. In addition, they will be tempted to meddle with financial{affairB in a most unfortunate way.
AS TOlROXJ-.CCALIiS.
An old newspaper correspondent in Washington sends out a statement that pulverizes the Indianapolis Sentinel. The Sentinel has srecently been abusing a number of the Republican members of Congress for "missing roll calls." The correspondent shows that if a representative in congress looks after the interests of his constituents he must miss many roll calls. Committee meetings occupy the forenoons during the sessions of congress. Members of congress are ^called upon by their constituents to visit the pension department, the agricultural department, the war and navy departments and scores of other places. The representative who is lazy and who pays no attention to his constituents,writes letters to the various departments or throws the requests of the people he pretends to represent, in the waste basket. And he accomplishes nothing. The representative who makes a record and gets a reputation for doing things snatches time when routine legislation is before the house, hustles to the various departments and does his work. Uld soldierB in this district cheerfully testify that their pension claims were never looked after as carefully and promptly as they have been by Representative Landis. lie did thiB by hundreds of personal visits to the pension department, going whenever he could catch the time. Had he sat like a "bump on a log" ^waiting a time to holler "aye" and "no" these claims would not have been looked after. It now turns out that Representative Landis has secured more free rural mail routes than any other member of congress. He could not have done this sittiDg in bis seat waiting for a roil call. Representative Landis hunted down the notorious Albert Baker, who posed as a civil service reformer, but who, as a matter of (act, was a soldier hater who dismissed soldiers and their widows by the score from public office, and he had this man driven in shame from government employ. He could not have done this sitting in his seat waiting for roil calls. When matters of great public interest were up Representative Lacdis was on hand. When routine work was before the house Representative Landis was hustling for his constituents and that is exactly what the people of the ninth congressional district expect.
CHARLES BENJAMIN, the Democratic candidate for auditor, makes a denial in the Crawfordsville Review of the report that he has promised Charles E Davis the position of deputy in case of his election. Mr. Benjamin protests that he has as yet promised the position to no one. Davis has been working night and day for the success of the Democratic county ticket but he has been so especially active in the behalf of Benjamin that a suspicion has gained ground to the effect that he has personal interests at stake. Both Benjamin and Davis are ex-Re-publicans and their co-operation in the court house under the Democratic label would be a sight for men and for angels.
THE Democrats concede that the Republicans will gain the senate. No chance is offered for them to claim this body. The outlook, however, for the house is almost as favorable for the Republicans. The campaign has not been demonstrative on either side, but the Republicans are earnest and confident. The issues involved are more important than appeared in any previous canvass since the secession war period. Under such conditions it would be disastrous for the country to permit the Republicans to be defeated, and it would be a crime for a Republican to neglect to vote.
A VOTE for a Republican candidate for congress is something more than an expression of partisan preference
thiB
year. It is a practical manifestation of patriotism in the shape of an indorsement of the acts and policy of the government, and it is the duty of every loyal citizen to cast his ballot for the candidate who will uphold the administration of President McKinley.
THE horrible and revoltingCrose case from Linden seems to carry with it a lesson. The man who is considered excellent enough to trust with a defenseless orphan's life, honor and education ought to be a man competent to give the management of the Orphans' Home a good stiff bond for the performance of his duty by the child he takes to raise.
CIIARES E. DAVIS is fighting the Republican ticket with all hie little power. This is the fellow who it will be remembered stood before the convention which repudiated him and declared that he intended to suppoit the Republican ticket. That repudiation of Davis was one of the best day'G work ever done by the party in Montgomery county.

BEST OF ALL DOCTORS!
Good HealthjOf Countless Americans Due to Paine's Celery Compound.
Countless homes in every city in America have been saved from the sad loss of some despairing member by Paine's celery compound,
The story of the life work of the discoverer of this world-famed remedy is familiar to most readers. The likeness of Dartmouth's greatest professor, Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D., LL. D., given above, is the best portrait of him yet printed. "Excepting its handful of magnificent statesmen and its military heroes," says the most recent writer upon and critic of America, ''the people owe more to Dartmouth's physician-teacher than to any other one man. "In every walk of life, among the highest office holders at the national capital, in the homes of the best people in the largo cities, among the every-day folks of the country, families in comfortable circumstances, families that live from 'hand to mouth,' and could not, if they wished, afford the services of any but an ordinary physician—everywhere I have met people to whom Paine's celery compound has been a blessing."
It was the world-famed discovery by Prof. Phelps of an infallible cure for those fearful ills that result from an impaired nervous system and impure blood which has endeared the great doctor to the world, and made his life an era in the practice of medicine.
Prof. Phelps'was born in Connecticut and graduated in medicine at Yale. His unusual talent soon brought him reputation and prominence among his pro-

C. W. Pritchard ia having his house
fessional brethren. First he was elected to the professorship of anatomy and surgery in the Vermont university. Next he was appointed lecturer on materia medica and medical botany in Dartmouth college. The next year he was chosen professor of the chair then vacated by Prof. R'jhby, and occupied the chair, the most important one in I ihe country, at the time when he first formulated his most remarkable prescription.
Prof I'beios ban given to his profession in Painc-.'ri celery compound a positive cure for sleeplessness, wasting strength, dyspepsia, biliousness, liver'i complaint,, neuralgia, rheumatism, all: nervous diseases and kidney troubles. It is the only specific recognized and prescribed to-day by the best physiclaus for diseases arising from a debili-S tated nervous system. For such com-1 plaints Paine's celery compound succeeds again and again where everything else fails.
No remedy was every so highly recommended, because none ever accomplishes so much.
Paine's celery compound stands: without competition for feeding exhausted nerves and building up the strength of the body. It cures radi-' cally and permanently. A healthy increase in appetite and a corresponding gain in weight and good spirits follow the use of Paine's celery compound. It is the most remarkable medical achievement of this last half of the nineteenth century.
