FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 4. 1898.

Go to the polls early on election day.

THAT money which Parks Martin left with the Democratic central committee last week is being circulated freely among the boys.

Go TO the polls early, vote, and then place yourself at the command of your precinct committeeman until every Republican vote is cast.

THE Republican organization of the county makes an earnest personal appeal to every Republican voter to have his vote in the ballot box by nine o'clock in the morning.

THE people engaged in a great deal of pushing and crowding at the railway stations in order to express their disapproval of the President and the manner in which he conducted the war.

THEBK is no question as to the cunning of the new financial manager of the Democratic party. Coin Harvey is prepared to furnish all the literature to be purcha&ed'with the funds he is raising.

THE Democrats are making a desperate fight to carry Montgomery county this year. If the Republicans win it will be because the Republicans all over the county make a determined and individual fight for the victory.

HON. JOHN M. PALMEB has come to the conclusion that the best way to Bettle the financial question is to strike direct and not through third parties. General Palmer announces that he will vote for the Republican congressional nominee this year.

ISN'T it about time for the Democrats to make the regular howl to the effect that the iRepublicans are planning to buy up enough Democrats to carry the county? This old "stop thief" cry is a little later than usual this season in making itBelf heard.

GENERAL BKAGG, the famous Democrat of Wisconsin, has arrived at home to vote, but not the Democratic ticket. He is stubborn and refuses to swallow free-silver, declaring that he shall vote the Republican ticket as the only way to avoid national dishonestygand ruin.

SHELBYVILLE now has one of the best selected city libraries in the state. It has only been open a few months, but it has met with gratifying success. Its books have been carefully selected, and cover quite a wide range of subjects. The library has about twentyfive hundred volumes.

GOOD business sensexwould dictate an endorsement of the present Republican management of county affaire by the election of those Republican office holders who are up for re-election and their associates on the ticket who are pledged to the same kind of economy and business methods.

CAPT. HABT, candidate for auditor of state on the Republican ticket, was one of the charter members of the Frankfort Typographical Union. Besides bting in full sympathy with organized labor he iB an economical, honest and efficient officer who hat by hiB scrupulous care saved the state oI Indiana thousands of dollars.

EVEHYAVHEBE, from all sources the impression is gaining ground that the Spaniards are hoping for a Democratic congress. A case in point is cited by the Chicago Record as follows: "Beriah Wilkins, a Democrat who served several terms in congress from Ohio, and at present is proprietor of the Washington Post, telegraphs from Paris to his paper that the procrastination of the Spanish peace commissioners is based upon a hope that the Democrats will carry the congressional elections in the United States, when they expect to get better terms."

THE auditor of Montgomery county, it should be remembered, is the custodian of the county school fund of 8175,000. Mr. White, the present auditor, has demonstrated that he is competent to discharge his duties and is also honest enough to discharge them. His record from boyhood has been one of spotless integrity. He is self made and haB the confidence of all who know him. He is a fitting man to continue in the most responsible office in Montgomery county. Past experiences have taught us that experiments in the auditor's office are dmgerouB and costly.

ALL citizens who desire a return to the conditions prevailing during years 1895-1807, and all those desiring them still worse, must vote the Democratic ticket. The repeal of the Dingley taiiff would suffice to the prosperity of Cleveland's second term, but the enactmentof free silver legislation, enforced by the unlimited isBue of greenbacks, or even a limited one, would create a condition unparalled in history of this or any other country. It would be very unique indeed. To day the credit of this government is practically unlimited, because everybody knows that we shall pay all our debts in honest money because our national resources are practically without limit. But the good intention being removed and the government, elected on free silver and greenbacks, refusing to acknowledge that it must pay in the best money, gold, but declaring that it will pay in silver, the credit of the United States would vanish like a fog under a hot sun.

What would our national resources amount to then? What the inventive genius, the superb 6kill of our mechanics, the superiority of our workmen and the untiring activity of our business men? Nothing. Dishonesty coupled with assinine stubborness in adhering to a false tariff policy would render all natural wealth valueless.

THE JOURNAL has repeatedly warned the voters of Montgomery county to look out for campaign lies sprung on the eve of election. It failed, however, to warn them of campaign jokes. Last Friday a Democratic paper devoted a column and a half to a communication which set forth in substance that a number of Republican politicians had met on Monday night in the Yountsville Methodist church and there plotted to buy Democratic votes at the somewhat exorbitant price of 820 a head. The articlo toxins with vile abuse of Republican candidates and with the most childish but malicious insinuations against men who have stord for years irreproachable in the community in which thoy live. There was a meeting in the Yountsville Methodist church on Monday night, it is true. It was a meeting of the official board of the church, called by the pastor, the Rev. Mr. White, to consider matters pertaining wholly to the interests of the church. If any man wishes further verification of this statement he is respectfully referred to "Josie" Taylor, highly reputable Democrat of Yountsville, who was present at the meeting and participated in the momentous deliberations.

ON next Tuesday the taxpayers of Montgomery county should remember when they go to vote that the present auditor and board of commissioners on going into office found this county with a constantly increasing tax levy and a bonded debt of 875,000 and a floating debt of over 89,000 more that in three years' time they have reduced the total county debt to 828,000 and have arranged for the speedy wiping out of the whole thing that this reduction has been made with a constantly decreasing tax levy that during these three years of tax reduction and debt paying the amount of public improvement has been much greater than in the years this burdensome debt was piling up. Are the voters and taxpayers of Montgomery county going to endorse this administration? or are they going to say to these faithful public servants, "Get out! You have been faithful enough, but we are going to experiment and will turn your offices over to other men.'1

GENERAL WOOD, at Santiago, is showing the Cubans what a clean government is. His government has cleaned the city of its dirt of hundreds of years it has established order and secured the safety of life and property it spends the public money for the public benefit by improving streets, roads, bridges, etc instead of letting the revenues disappear in the capacious pockets of public officials, and enabling a grasping clergy to live in luxurious splendor. And the people pay less taxes than ever before. The province of Santiago will, in

Bix

months, be a

model for all other provinces in Cuba, and show the Cubans how to govern themselves. This sort of military government is a blessing to the people of Cuba. The President could not have made a happier choice in selecting a governor for the province of Santiago. Gen. Wood is a brave soldier, but a greater governor.

A VOTE early in the morning of election day counts more than a vote in the afternoon. It relieves the committee from looking after just one man less. If all good Republicans voted early matters would be made much easier and much more satisfactory in the result obtained. Mr. Voter, do you wish in 1898 to go through a wild, business depressing, work paralyzing political campaign like that of 1896? If you do not, vote the Republican ticket this off year and forever put a quietus on financial heresy. If the Democratic party wins this fall the scenes of '96 will be repeated in '98 and to your loss.

A DEMOCRATIC TRICK.

Two Letters That Are Self Explanatory and Which Go to Show How Democratic Campaign Lie* Are

HU factn red.

THE JOURNAL is in receipt of the following letters which show on their face the shallow tricks that are being made use of by the Democratic press in this campaign: To the Editor The Journal.

NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Oct. 28, 1898—1 have been informed that Mike Foley, the sky scraping orator, and the Democratic "push" of Montgomery county have been circulating reports about the alarming condition of Republicans in Hamilton county and that Republicans were falling over one another in this county to vote for "Joey" Cheadle. Let me admonish the good Republicans of Montgomery county to believe not such stuff but to possess their souls in confidence and await the election returns of November 8th. The claim that Thomas E. Bowles, a lifelong Republican, and a former resident of Montgomery county, had gone over to Democracy, is a lie out of whole cloth. He did introduce young Foley to a Westfield audience but for reasons given in a letter herewith enclosed. If young Foley took advantage of Mr. Bowles' hospitality and friendship he proved himself an ingrate. As to the general conditions in Hamilton county I can say that they are all right. The county central committee was in session tc-day and from interviews with individual committeemen I find the most hopeful and promising conditions prevailing. There will be but little scratching of tickets this year, but for every Republican that votes for Cheadle 1 believe there will be two Democrats vote for Landis. Some bets have been made in this city that Landis will carry th« county by 1,500 aud that he wili be elected by

1,000

1 believe

those are safe, conservative figures Hamilton county will do her duty aB she always has done. Let the other counties of the district do their full duty aud there is no doubt as to the result. The Cheadle forces are trying to create a panic in the "round up" but it won't work. Steady your nerves, remember the follies of Democracy, stand by the flag and the country is ours. WILL H. CRAIG. To the Editor of the Journal.

GRAY, Ind., Oct. 28, 1898 —It seems that the Democratic press is trying to make political capital out of the fact that I introduced M. E. Foley at his meeting at Westfield. The people of your county know that we were old neighbors out in Coal Creek township and a warm personal friendship always existed between our families, and coming to my neighborhood a stranger and a personal friend, I introduced him to his audience, prefacing my remarks with the fact that I was in no way in sympathy with his politics, that we always disagreed on political questions, but were old neighbors and personal friends. Mr. Foley told the audience the same and the people sounderstood it and nothing was said over the affair at Westfield. I always grant to my fellow man all the liberty I take for myself and neither politics nor religion ever drives me from a friend. We entertained Mike Foley over night and drove him to the train next morning and he will be welcome to come again with a number of other Democrats of Montgomery county as well as my Republican friends.

A Crawfordgville Leg.

Lafayette Journal: Two men carried a box to the Bexton of Greenbush cemetery yesterday and told him to bury it. There was no burial permit attached to the box and the sexton refused to inter it. He placed it outside of the cemetery and notified the police. Captain Rinard and officer Weinhardt were detailed to investigate the matter. They opened the box and found that it held the leg of a man. The leg had been amputated at the hip and was once the member of a gentleman from Crawfordsville who had come to this city to receive treatment at one of the hospitals The limb was amputated yesterday and two of the friends of the patient were intrusted with the box containing it and requested to give it the proper burial. When the officers found what was in the box Folckemer was notified and fJoe Frank took charge of the member. It. was taken to the Folckemer undertaking establishment and will remain there until a necessary permit is obtained for it6 burial. This is another instance in which red tape figures conspicuously but mere does not seem to be any help for it.

Death of Professor White.

Word has b-sen received in this city of the death of Prof. Wm. C. White, formerly professor of English in Wabash College in this city. His death occurred on Oct. 82, at LaCresenta, Calif., and his demise was occasioned by cerebral congestion. Prof. White was sixty-six years old at the time of his death and will be remembered by many of our citizens who will be pained to learn of his death. He was highly esteemed while connected with Wabash College and was a citizen of many splendid attainments. He left this city about fifteen ynars ago and had made his home in California ever since.

LESSON VI, FOURTH QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, NOV. 6.

Text of the Lesson, II Cliron. xxx, 1-13. Memory Verses, 10-13—Golden Text, II Chron. xxx, 8—Commentary Prepared by the Rev. D. M. Stearns.

[Copyright, 1S98, by D. M. Stearns.] 1. "Come to tho liouso of the Loril tit, Jerusalem to keep tho Passover unto the Lord God of Israel." This was the message of Hozokiuh, a king who did right ri tho 6ight of tho Lord (chapter xxis, 2), t••. all Israol and Jndah, regarding thorn as one people. Although long divided into two nations, they are ono in His sight ar-1 shall yet bo one in tho eyos of nil nations (Ezek. xxxvii, 21, 22). Hezokiah repaired the house of tho Lord and restored the worship. Ho wrought good and right and truth before the Lord his God and did every work with all his heart and prospered (chaptor xxxi, 20, 21). Ho would liavo all Israel romember their deliverance from Egypt and rejoice in tho Lord and serve Him. 2, 3. "Tho king had taken counsol, and his princes and all the congregation in Jorusalom to keep tho Passover in tho second month." Although the first month was tho regular time for tho foast, thoro was provision in the law to keep it in tho second month if necessary (Ex. xii, 18 Num. Ix, 10, 11). Place and time and form nro not so important in God's sight as a heart that is right with Him. Even feasts and Sabbaths aro t^shadow of things to como. Christ is tho reality of all, and apart from Him nothing is real (Col. ii, 10, 17). 4. "And the thing pleased tho king and all tho eonCT,-ogation." It is written of David in II ain, iii, 30, that "whatsoever tho king d!.l pleased all tho people." When king and peoplo please eacli other, and all together please God, that is surely a samplo of the kingdom of God on earth. Thus it shall bo when Israel shall have become a "righteous nation with tho Christ, tho Son of David, as their King (Kz xxxvii, 34, 85). 5. "Mako prnclnmntion throughout all Israel to keep the Passover unto the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem. This fea.'-n comniuiisoruting the great deliverance of Israel out (if tho bondage of Egypt by the mighty power of God was to bo kejit every year, but in the Old Testamont we have an account of only fivo al'tor tho first ono in Ex. xii. These records aro found in Num. ix. Josh, v, II Chron. xxxv, Ezra vi and in our lesson. Tho greatest Passover in the New Testament is recorded in Luko xxii, 1-1, 15, and in tho other gospels as having been kept, by our Lord and His apostles on tho night before Ho was sacrificed for us as our Passover, lie spoke at that time of a future fulfillment in the kingdom of God (Luko xxii, 10), and instituted tho Lord's supper as a memorial of nis death to bo kept by His redeomod till lie shall eoino again. 0. "Yo children of Israel, turn again unto tho Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel and lie will roturn to tho remnant of you." Letters from a king to his people urging them to turn to the Lord God would 10 a most unusual occurrence in our time. Kven if a church is in need oi funds, it is more customary to turn to somo wealthy jjcoplo or to some worldly way than to tho Great Head of tho church. 7. "Bo not yo liko your fathers and lik'e your brothren which trespassed against tho Lord God of their fathers." Their sin is briefly stated in Jcr. ii, 13, "My peoplo have committed two evils they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cistern.-, that can hold no water. Thus t.hey changed their glory for that which could not prolit. The Lord was their judge and lawgiver and king, but they turned their backs upon Him and proforred their own way. Is there any analogy now? 8. "Yield yourselves unto tho Lord, ahd servo tho Lord your God." Tho margi.i says,, "Givo tho hand unto the Lord." In Rom. vi, 13, it is "Yield yourselves unto God asthoso that are alive from tho dead." As unsaved sinners all wo are asked to do is to rccoive Christ. 9. "The Lord your God is gracious and merciful and will not turn away His face from you if ye return unto Him." His namo in Ex. xxxiv, 6, is "Tho Lord, tho Lord God, merciful and gracious, long suffering and abundant in goodness and truth." Road also verse 7. Ho says in Mai. iii, 0: "I am the Lord. I change not." In Heb. xiii, 8, Ho is ".Tesus Christ, tho same yesterday, today niul forever." He is not willing that any should perish, has provided eternal redemption for all and is evor saying, "Him that cometh to mo I will in nowise cast out" (John vi, 37). 10. "So tho posts passed from city to city, but they laughed them to scorn and mocked thorn"—that is, many of Ephraim, Manassoh and Zebulun did. Tho final testimony concerning Judah is, "They mockod tho messengers of God and despised II is words,,and misused His prophets until the wrath'of tho Lord aroso against His punpie, till thero was no remedy" (II Chron xxxvi, 10). This is the carnal mind which is enmity against God and is ever th same, but these wero not tho heathen who never heard o.' God. They were the peop of God for whom Ho had done more than for any nation on oarth. Seo 11 Tim. iii. 1-5. 11. Nevertheless divers of Ashor, Mo nassch and of Zeln lun humbled themselve--and camo to Jerusalem." When Paui preached in Rome, some believed the things which wera spoken and some be lieved not (Acts xxviii, 31). So it ever has been anil will bo till the end of this ago. Tho parables of the powur, tho tares, tho mustard seed and the leaven of Math xiii, all teach this, as also the plain instruction to both prophets and apostles in Isa. vi, 'J Jor. i, li) Ezek. iii, 7-S) Math, x, 10. The messenger of God may always be suro that somo will receive tho message and that the word of the Lord will never return to lli-n void. 12. "Also in Judah the hand of God was to givo them ono heart to do tho commandment of tho king and ol' the princes, by the word of the Lurd." It God who worketh. He dooth according His will. I-Io guides His willing peoplo and makes oven tho wrath of man to praise Mini. 13. "And thoro assembled at Jerusalem much poople to keep tho foast of unleavened bread." It was a very great congregation, so those who would not come hurt none but themselves. When God is working, those who will not fall in with Him lose tho benefit to themselves, but the work goes on. Thore was great gladness and great joy in Jerusalem, and their prayers wore heard in heaven (verses 21, 36, 27). Their joy in the Lord led to the destruction of idols, and it was at this time that the brazen serpent that Moses had made was broken in pieces, for they had been burning incense to ii (ohapter xxxi, 1, and II Kings xvili, 4). When the Lord Is honored, idols cannot be tolerated.
