FRIDAY, JANUARY 20. 1889

IK the next senate there will not be a single straight out Democrat from a northern state.

THE legislature could do no better thing than to forfeit every man's title to public office who accepts railroad passes.

COL. BRYAN loudly declaims that the free silver issue isn't dead. Of course it isn't, and neither is Jim Gorbett dead, but—Oh, well, you know.

THE editor of the Despatch—"the only free-silver paper in Chicago"—is in the penitentiary, and the plant has been sold at auction for 81,000,

SENATOR PERKINS, of California, who has been talking against the treaty, has been instructed by both houses of .the legislature to vote for it. No senator will vote against it who consults the sentiment of the people.

THE following is from the Frankfort Crescent. "Aguinaldo is a patriot. He fought Spain and now proposes to fight the United StateB for the liberty of his country. Instead of being ridiculed his name if he be a brave fighter will live in

Bong.

One minister has already

compared him to Robert Emmet, the Irish patriot." The man who writes such traitorous rot should be taken out and given a hundred lashes on the bare back.

INDIANAPOLIS Journal: For many yearB past there has been more or less scandal connected with the decennial censuses of the United States relating either to the manner of takiDg them and the inaccuracies, or to the delay in publication. An effort should be made to avoid any ground for these complaints in taking the census of 1890, and if the application of civilservice rules in the appointment of census enumerators and clerks would aid in that direction it should be done. The disagreeable echoes of the complaints regarding the last census have scarcely died out and care should be taken not to give ground for their renewal.

DR. BILLIS, who has just received a call to Beecher's old church at Brooklyn, has made the following terse remarks about the kind of a church we are all familiar with. He says: "There are exclusive churches, the members of which eav to themselves, 'We are the cream of the city.'And so they are, but they are the ice cream and any piety which has to be preserved by going into a refrigerator isn't worth preserving. Then there is the other idea of an aristocratic church, wheVe, as in a pickle jar, it is believed that the contents should all be of the same magnitude. But such a church does no more for its members than a jar does for pickles it only keeps them from spoiling."

A DEMOCRATIC paper of New York expresses good sound sense in the following: "What do the opponents of the treaty of peace desire? Do they want the war resumed? Do they want to insert a cause explanatory of our constitution in a treaty with a foreign power? Do they want to embarass and cripple the administration and make our state department the laughing stock of the world? Do they want to show Europe that we have no settled government, no recognized authority, outside of the whims and votes of congress? Until the treaty is formally ratified we are

Btill

in a state

of war with Spain. End the war by ratifying the treaty, and then we can decide what to do with the spoils of war.

THE lllGETKIXDOFA BOY ORATOR New York Sun: The Hon. Albert J. Beveridge, who has just been elected a senator in congress from Indiana, iB a fine example of the success that is in reach of every American who

deserveB

it by working for it. Mr. Beveridge, who is only thirty-five, was born in Ohio with a wooden spoon in his mouth. His people moved to Illinois in the hope of finding fortune kinder. At twelve he was pegging away on a (arm. At fourteen he was working on railroad. Working, mind you, and not shirking and imagining himself to be a blighted being ruined by corporations. Graduated from the railroad, he became a teamster. At sixteen he was boss of a lumber camp. Studying in such times and with such means as he conld get, be fitted himself for the DePauw University, where he worked

to support himself. He overdid it a little,'so he went west and took up cow punching. Then he went tolndianap-, oils and studied law. He picked up a good practice easily and now he is a United States senator at thirty-five.

He was a boy orator at college, and he won cash prizes that he needed. But he is not a boy orator now. He has not remained a permanent boy orator. He has not devoted himself to wandering about the country, abusing a great part of the citizens, windily proclaiming that there is no chance for poor folks and making a living by speeches that go to show that you cannot make a living on account of the "wrongs" and "oppressions" of the rich. He has been a good stump speaker, but his best speech is his life, the resolute and strenuous labor which conquers difficulty and ill fortune. If he had spent his time in envying and denouncing the prosperous, he would never have made himself prosperous.

To the numerous persons who believe that eructations against the gold standard and the trusts area sufficient substitute for a day's work, we commend the history of Albert J. Beveridge.

SENATOR GRAY OJV THE TREATY. Senator Gray, the Democratic member of the peace commission, made a speech at Washington, Delaware, a few days ago which William E. Curtis, the Chicago Record correspondent, says is more nearly in accord with President McKinley's views than anything else that has yet appeared on the question. The senator said in part: "I ardently desired that we might escape the necessity of taking the Philippine Islands and assuming the burden that their taking will impose upon us, and I know that the President of the United States

waB

equally

anxious to the same end. But it became apparent that, without our seeking, unexpected conditions had been created, and out of these conditions unquestionable duties had spiung which could not be avoided or evaded by the United States. "But now that we have them, it does not follow that we are committed to a colonial policy or to a violation of those great principles of liberty and self-government which must always remain American ideals if our own free institutions are to endure. No country, and this country least of all, can afford to trample on its ideals. I have no fear that it will do so. "Without assuming for a moment any right to speak for the President, I think I can assure you, with some knowledge whereof I speak, that he fully appreciates the duties and responsibilities of the situation, and that he is committed to no policy calculated to discourage, much less strike down, the aspirations of liberty-loving people all over the world. I belong to a different political party, but I should be false to my senses of justice and to that pride which 1 feel as an American if I did not declare my confidence in the patriotism and purity of purpose of William McKinley. He is no usurper of power, no stranger to American institutions, but one of the American people called to his high office by their suffrages, and it would be strange indeed if he did not share to the fullest extent in the love of our constitution and the principles that underlie it. When less than this can be truthfully said of an American President it will be the beginning of the end to our great career as a nation. "But the solution of the problems which confront us is not with the President. When the treaty is ratified no policy can be adopted without the sanction of congress. And the whole American people will determine, through their representatives, what relations we shall sustain to the Philippines. Shall we hold the sovereignty in trust for their people as we will do in Cuba, or shall we, with their consent, establish a protectorate over them, or govern them as we will the island of Porto Rico? "All these important questions will properly come up for determination after the ratification of the treaty. I will not entertain the fear that the American people will not stand by the constitution and declaration of independence: that they will not curb the ambition of territorial aggrandizement and exhibit to the world an example of moderation, justice and self-re-Btraint that will be worth to us in moral strength more than all the islands of the seas."

TO STOP LYNCHING.

Text of a Bill Prepared By tbe AttorneyGeneral.

William L.Taylor, attorney-general, yesterday completed the bill for a law for the supression of mob violence. It was introeuced in each house to-day. The bill is as follows: "Be it enacted by the generaljassembly of the state of Indiana, that any collection of individuals assembled for any unlawful purpose intending to injure any person by violence and without authority of law shall, for the purpose of this act, be regarded as a 'mob,' and any act of violence exercised by such mob upon the body of any person which shall cause the death of such person, shall constitute the crime of 'lynching,' and any person who participates in, or aids or abetB such lynching, upon conviction thereof, shall suffer death or be imprisoned in the state prison during life, in the discretion of the jury. 1 "Every person who shall, after the commission of the crime, harbor, conceal or assist any member of such mob who participates in or who aids or abeta such crime, with the intent that he shall escape detention, arrest, capture or punishment, shall be deemed to be and shall be an accessory after the fact, and may be charged, tried and convicted and punished, though such member be neither charged, tried nor convicted, and upon conviction thereof shall be imprisoned in the state prison not more than twenty-one years nor less than two years. "Any person accused of the crime of lynching or as an accessory after the fact may be prosecuted in the circuit and criminal courts of this state by indictment, or by information filed and signed by the prosecuting attorney or attorney-general, based upon the affidavit of some competent and reputable person. "The personal representatives of any person suffering death by lynching at the hands of a mob in any county in the state shall be entitled to recover of the county in which such lynching occurs the sum of $5,000 as a penalty for such unlawful killing.

A most successful revival of two weeks' duration was closed Sunday night at the Presbyterian church.

Warwick Galey bought a box of matches and a fire shovel last week. Coming events cast their shadows before.

Rev. Beard, of Gas City, preached at the Christian church Sunday morning and evening, having succeeded Dr. Tharp as pastor.

It is rumored that W. O. Johnson will soon become interested in the saw mill at Mace. This addition of capital and skill would make a strong combination.

Elmore Hobson, principal of the Mace schools, was taken suddenly ill Sunday night and at this writing, (Tuesday) is still unable to resume his duties.

Rev. Riley will begin a protract^ meeting at Mace Sunday night, and it promises to be one of unusual interest. The meeting announced to begin at Walnut Chapel on the same date will be postponed until some future time.

To-night's (Friday) debate will put an effectual quietus on any doubt existing in regard to the poet and statesman question. Next Friday night the question will be, "Does a high state of refinement and culture tend to promote human happiness?"

Mr. Jamison, who made the race for surveyor on the Democratic ticket, has taken a position as teacher at No. 5 and is giving excellent satisfaction. The situation of his predecessor is probably without a parallel in the school history of Montgomery county or the state- The dissatisfaction among both scholars and parents was so general that a few days ago before the Christmas holidays, at the expiration of the compulsory twelve weeks, every scholar, without a single exception, carried their books home one evening, and the next morning when "taking up" time came the teacher was the only occupant of tbe school room. He endured the overwhelming solitude for a few days and during the Christmas vacation a truce was patched up,so Bchool began on the new year with six scholars instead of original 16 or 18, but on the following Tuesday he again found himself deserted by even those few, and after convening Echool regularly every day until Friday, gave up the fight.

On account of bad roads Rev. Riley went to his appointment at New Ross Sunday morning on horsebaek. This reminds us of the older generation of the "early days" when ei horse was indispensable to the preacher, and the people of a circuit were expected to see that he was provided with one, just as they are now expected to provide a parsonage, and for sound judgment as to the points and value of a horse the "saddle-bags men" were rarely excelled. The frontier preacher received a salary of sixty to seven-ty-five dollars a year, and usually rode about one hundred miles each week on horseback in going to and from his different appointments, and often suffered much hunger and cold, sometimes having no other bed but the erround and no other roof but the sky. Under such circumstanceB he fastened his horse, uurolled his blanket, knelt down and performed his evening devotions, and then, with bis i^ddle for a pillow, he lay down to dream of preaching great sermons, and seeing hundreds of horses tied to the trees and the forest full of sinners inquiring "what they must do to be saved."

Sold by all grocers.

There is no denying the serious fact that there is a great amount of sickness from the grip that overworked men and women now suffer more than at any other time of the year from lassitude, headaches,slight chills and fever and other symptons

of imperfect'health that people fall sick more readily now than at any other time of the year and that whenever an epidemic does appear it invariably plays havoc with those who are run down and out of condition.

The utmost caution should be taken to keep the blood pure and the nervous system in healthy tone.

There is no more excuse for the prevalent symptoms of stagnant, impure blood in the body than there is for the barbarism of filthy streets in a city.

The relaxed and sluggish action of the excretory organs loads the body with waste material that poisons it and brings on headaches,rheu­

matic pains, sleepless nights and profitless days, due solely to the circulation in the blood, or deposit in

the tissues, of these waste matters which Paine's celery compound alone will quickly drive out.

When the arms, hips or back feel the twinges of acute rheumatism it is high time to relieve the kidneys and

bladder from the strain that so often brings on Bright's disease, gravel' dropsy and complications of diseases with other organs whose health depends upon the purity of the blood. Prompt use of Paine's celery compound will save the weakened parts from yielding to disease.

In its peculiar ability to invigorate the body, to make new blood and to regulate the nerves, lies the great value of Paine's celery compound in all wasting diseases and disorders of the kidneys, liver and stomach.

Paine's celery compound rescues

shaky, enfeebled nerves from prostration and removes that feeling of utter exhaustion that causes so much despondency among so many worried men and women.

It makes flesh, blood and strong nerves.

Paine's celery compound is not a patent medicine! It is not the discovery of some quack doctor of

whom his profession never heard it is not a concoction put up by some man who first invented a name, and then adopted a preparation to fit it it is not a secret remedy.

Those who are on the sick list are, John Perry, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dice, Chas. Armstrong, Chtr.es and Burly Weaver, Lee Jackson, Isaiah Crain and John Finch.

Mace has a population of 350 people, two stores, three blacksmiths, two churches, one barber shop, one repair shop, three weavers, one stock buyer, one saw mill, three hucksters, two drug stores, one preacher and two carpenters. Why is that not doing pretty well for a 6tnall town?

DREAMLAND.

Miss Mollie Lollis entertained at dinner Sunday the following of her schoolmates: Misses Stella Vanscoyoc, Maude Britch, Fern Corn, Faith Nickell and Qoldie Armstrong.

GRIP!

But it is, first, the result of the lifelong study of the greatest phy­

sician America has produced, a mail whose reputation was world-wide years before he had ever arrived at the formula which has done so much

good a man who has received highest degrees from the best colleges, who was at the time of his discoverya professor at Dartmouth and a leo turer in other universities, a scholar,

a member of a family which has made its mark in every department of public life in America. Ii is a remedy the formula of which has been furnished to physicians in good

standing always, and which physicians were prescribing long before the present1 manfuacturers put it up for public distribution it was discovered by Prof. Edward E. Phelps,

M. D., LL. D., and was first prescribed with wonderful success by that eminent group of practitioners who have made American physicians known the world over, and of whom he was then as now, undoubtedly the most'famous.

The best test that can be applied to Paine's celery compound is to use it.

IfjOne is "run down," feels without energy, lifeless, useless, fretful,

take this great remedy, and note the change. Constipation will no longer give one a disquieting thought the' appetite will Jcome^ back sleeplessness and headaches will be things of

the past. This is the experience of men and women in every part of the country.

General good health depends upon the perfect action of the nervous cur« rents,, the vigor of the circulation and the quality of the^blood.

The history of Paine's celery compound^has been made familiar to every intelligent household in the land. In the clearest and most direct manner conscientious men and

women have told of their rapid recovery from™ disease by the use of this remedy.

Paine's celery compound ia unapproached by any other remedy for restoring the nervous system when

broken down or impaired from overexertion of mind or body.

It strengthens the digestive powers, renews the blood and acts in the vitalizing, curative, thorough manner

that makes it the grandest help to suffering men and women the world of medicine affords.

In a few weeks will be given at this place the celebrated temperance drama, "Arthur Eustace," which has made such a splendid hit in the eastern part of the state. Watch for the date, which will be announced later.
