Scrofula, a Vile Inheritance.

8crofula is the most obstinate of blood troubles, and is often the result of an Inherited taint in the blood. 8. S. S. la the oiHy remedy which goes deep enough to reach Scrofula it forces oat •very trace of the disease, and cures the worst cases.

My eon, Charlie, -was afflicted from Infancy with Scrofula, and he suffered so that It was Impossible to dress him for three years. His head and body were a mass of sores, and his eyesight also became affected. No treatment WAS spared that we thought would relieve him, Dut he grew worse)\ until his condition was Indeed pitiable. 1 had Almost despaired of liis' ever being cured, when by the advice of a friend we gave him S. S. S. (Swift's Specific). A decided Improvement was the result, and after .he had taseh a dozen bottles, no one who knew of his former dreadful condition would have recognized him, All the sores on his body have healed, his skin is perfectly clear and smooth, and he has been restored to perfect health.

FRIDAY, DEOEMBER 1. 1899.

"As for imperialism,"says the Democratic Richmond Times, "that issue will probably be as dead as Julius Csesar before the next presidential election. It will be like singing psalms to a dead horse to talk to the American people about imperialism."

A SUBJECT which iB agitating the west at the present time, is the storing of flood waters' for irrigation purposes. No political issue has yet been made out of the question except by one or two frenzied editors. The whole country, however, west of the Mississippi is almost a unit in asking that the national government build storage reservoirs at the heads of principal Btreams for irrigation purposes and to prevent floodB in the lower rivers. It is claimed that the question is a national one and that the government should thus improve its arid lands and

make them salable,

much as it Bhould improve harbors, dredge rivers or construct levees. As matter of fact western senators are is a position to almoBt insist upon each action by congress, which, however, is no more than right. In the closing hours of the last session of congress, Senator's Warren, of Wyoming, ud Garter, of Montana, threatened to hold up several important bills, ineluding the river and harbor and the naval appropriation, unlesB the house acceded to the senate's demands for an item in the river and harbor appropriation authorizing the construction of storage reservoirs. It was only because it would have necessitated an extra Republican session that they did not fight the matter out to the end.

THE PBOBLKM,

This is what President Jacob Schurman, of the Philippine commission, •ays io the Review of Reviews'. "Some people are still discussing the theoretic expediency of expansion. This has not bben an open question since last winter. The act and fact of expansion was complete when the treaty of peace was ratified. You might, indeed, as an academic matter, discuss the desirability of contraction. But towering over and overshadowing all merely speculative issues is the mighty (I had almost said the awful) fact of our actual sovereignty over and responsibility for the Philippine Islands. You can escape the conse--quences of some deeds by undoing them. But treaties cannot be made and unmade at will, nor international obligations laid down because they are burdensome. It does not matter what were your viewB on the previous question of annexation the only question to-day open to you 1B this: The United States having taken the Philippine Islands from Spain, what shall be done with them?"

VOTING MACHINES.

Sentiment In Favor of Them Practically Unanimous—A Machine Will Be on Exhibition Here.

THE JOURNAL has taken the pains to interview many citizens on tbe subject of voting machines and so &r not a single person has expressed the slightest opposition to their use. On the contrary all are enthusiastic in their praise and are in favor of their use in Montgomery county.

County commissioner Homb&ker says he is satisfied that machine voting is tbe best way of conducting elections, that money can be saved and the purity of the ballot conserved.

Col. A. A. Sprague knows, through a friend, ,of an election held with voting machines in Hudson. Mich., and it was a complete success.

Hon. F. M. Dice thinks that the machines will pay for themselves in four elections at most and possibly three.

Walter Hulet believes in getting in the band wagon of progress right away so that the next election in Montgomery county may be held in an up-to-date manner.

The law passed by tbe last legislature authorizing voting machines, also authorizes the county commissioners to re-district the county into precincts containing approximately 400 voters instead of 200 as now constituted. This wouid save the expense of just half the election boards. Another big item of expense that would be saved is the printing of ballots. Booths, ballot boxes, pencils, tally sheets and other expensive supplies would not be needed and the canvaBBing board's duties would be so shortened that probably one day would be sufficient for them to complete their work. The last election cost Montgomery county in round numbers $4,000.

With machines it is {[estimated that the expenses would be cut to 81,500, a saving of $3,500.

There are now 43 precincts. Supposing that|they should be reduced to

22,

then it would be necessary to buy at least 23 machines, having one extra in case of emergency. Boone county has just bought 21 United States machines at $600 apiece. At this price Montgomery county could be supplied for the total sum of $13,800. On the score of economy no taxpayer could criticise the commissioners for making such an(investment. On the contrary, theyjmight justly complain if the opportunity to»£put money into

Buch

A Study

big paying investment were long neglected. ciThat is one way to look at it. But ifpnot a cent of money were to be saved, if on the contrary it were to increasej election expenses, the use of machines would be more than justified because of the certainty that every man's ballot would be counted exactly as he|cast it, because it is the only absolutely secret method of voting, and because it will very largely prevent vote buying and selling.

Tbereiarelquite a number of voting machines invented, but not more than two or three that have aB yet stood the practical test of actual use in an election. One of these is made by the United States (Voting Machine Company, of Jamestown, New York. It is now on exhibition in Indianapolis and it is the one recently adopted by Boone county. Another is made by the Standard Voting Machine Company, of Rochester, N. Y.

What is everybody's business is nobody's business. Everybody

BeemB

be in favor of voting machines, but no one assumes the responsibility of making tbe first move. Under these circumstances THE JOURNAL has taken upon itself to give the voters of the county an opportunity to Bee and teBt a voting machine for themselves, and then decide upon its meritB whether they want it or not. We have written to the Standard Company at Rochester, N. inviting them to bring one of their machines here for exhibition and have called in person on the agent of the United States machine at Indianapolis, giving him the same invitation. The latter invitation has been accepted and on December 7th, 8th and 9th, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, of next week, the machine and a representative of the company will be here. Voters from all parts of the county are invited to Crawfordsville to see it and vote with it.

AB to paying for the machines, the county is in a fine position to do so, thanks to the efficient management of the present board of commissioners. At the last June settlement there was on hand about $36,000. The receipts since then have been $38,500, making a total of $74,500. The expenses, actual and estimated up to Jan. 1, 1900, are $51,500, leaving a balance of $23,000, with no outstanding debt.

After January 1, the revenues are to be applied exclusively to appropriations made by the county council. As the council made no appropriation for voting machines it would seem advisable, if all other things are favorable, for the commissioners to buy machines before January l. On this question let the people vote for themselves after seeing the machines.

In Story.

One of the most admirable works which has come under TBE JOURNAL'S notice in some time is Dr. F. W. GunsauluB' "Man of Galilee" recently issued and now being sold on subscription, 0 E. Fullenwider having the agency here. Not only is it a valuable commentary for Bible students, but it is a work which cannot fail to fasten the intereBt of any person who begins its perusal. It is a powerful study incorporated in a beautiful story, that story the life of Christ. Dr. Gunsaulus has a wonderful insight into things spiritual, a literary style that iB fascinating, and a strength of delin eation that is remarkable. These powers are seen to best advantage in this his best work. Dr. Gunsaulus was over twenty years in the preparation of thiaiwork and it reflects not only this great labor but the wonderful genius back of it all as well. It is history, story, and philosophy combined. The book is elegantly bound and is profusely and magnificently illustrated. It is enjoying a large sale and those who have purchased it are proving its beet advertisers.

From the Bogs of Boone.

W, H. Blodgett writing from Boone county to the Indianapolis Neios Bays: "Every once in awhile there is talk that Boone county is 'ferniobt' the nomination of C. B. Landis for congress. Most of this talk comes from Democrats and Populists. There may be some opposition to him among the Republicans, but the opposition IB BO slight that Mr. Landis will get practically a solid delegation from this county. "The Democrats here are not talking politics much. There is just one thing they are anxious to do, and that is to prevent Joe Cheadle from running for congress again on the Democratic ticket from this district—the Ninth. They declare that if Cheadle had not been selected two years ago, Landis might have been defeated, and they are anxious to shut off forever Mr. Cheadle's appearance on the Democratic stage. The Democracy hexe is favorable to Yount, of Oovington, as the Democratic congressional nominee, and leaders say that, while other names have been mentioned, it is almost an assured fact that the Fountain county man will get the nomination."
