FRIDAY. MAY 11, 1000.

IF the Democratic party is determined to make both the head and tail of its ticket out of military material, would not t'oionel Hryan and (.enoral Aguinaldo make a good combination'.' The former is a talker and the latter is runner.

DEMOCRATIC millionaires are forming a trust to buy at least one newspaper in every Republican and doubtful state. The tune to be played on these moneyed organs of the latest Democratic trust will be set to ''free silver" music.

BKAZIL intends hereafter to purchase in the United States all the coal needed for her warships and railroads. This will be some return for the concession we have so long granted Brazil of levying no duty on the coffee that we import from that country.

THE government provided for Porto Rico is far more liberal than that given to Louisiana when that state was admitted to the Union. A little experience will assure the Porto Ricans of the character of Republican intentions. But the Democrats will still be dissatisfi ed.

CAPT. ALLEN calls from the Philippines that he is not a candidate for congressional honors, but in his letter he indulges in a lot of talk calculated to promote his candidacy, and is very careful not to say that he would not take the nomination if tendered him. It can be put down as a fact that Allen is a candidate and is working for the nomination.

THE trust, was a creature of free trade many years ago. In .lune, 1888, there "was recorded, in London, "the largest amalgamation of business lirms which has ever taken place." It was a combination of "eighteen collin furniture makers in lOngland. Scotland and Ireland." The capital was $2,000,000. This combine did not succeed in burying the trust movement bv anv means.

Is rr not about time for the Democratic party to call upon the country to put them in power, so that they may reduce tho dangerous surplus in the United States treasury? That is one of the few promises made by it that was faithfully fulfilled, and, in doing s»o, it also reduced the surplus of almost every citizen in the Union. As a surplus reducer and a deficit creator that party has a record that can not be successfully assailed.

THE Hon. James K. Jones has taken the pains to explain that he introduced his proposed amendment to the Porto liican bill in good faith and was i^ norant of the fact that it would make a present of $1,800,000 to the sugar trust. He furthermore explained that he withdrew the same as soon as some one took the [pains to point out the farreaching effect of his proposition. This is the same Mr. Jones who presides over the destinies of and makes the predictions for the Democratic party.

A CALM VIEW.

In speaking of the Porto Rican tariff Tht lie vine of Itivuics, a notably fair and judiciousmagazine, editorially says: "Now let nobody feel in conscience bound to say that in passing such a bill we have selfishly and wickedly broken faith with the people of Porto Rico, and have invented an oppressive scheme for taxing them without their consent. A great deal of this sort of accusation has appeared in the newspapers, and it is remote from the truth. Under the arrangement provided' by the bill, the Porto Ricans will enjoy the stability and general protection assured them under the sovereignty of the United States, without paying a penny, directly or indirectly, of federal taxes. It is true that they wanted free trade, so as to be put, as far as possible, in the position ot citizen of the United States. But apart from sentiment, and as a purely financiaVproposition, they would find it hard to prove that free trade would be advantageous to their island treasury as this arrangement which gives their products easy access to the American market, while enabling them to collect a tax from the people of the United States on the entire volume of their export trade. An impartial analysii of all the facts in this most protracted and curious piece of recent law-making at Washington would seem to lead to the conclusion that, for some reason carefully held in reserve, the Republican party preferred to be gen' erous rather than to be merely just."

PORTO RICANS are not going to endure such very great hardships after all. There is a big free list upon which they can draw for food, including Hour, bacon, codfish, fresh beef, pork, mutton and rice. Not a cent of duty will they pay upon any of these products imported from tlu: United States. Then there is no duty to check their agricultural progress, because sugar making and re lining machinery. plows, hoes, hatchets, machetes. coopers' ware for casks and barrels, are admitted there free even of the 0 per cent. duty. Rough lumber, school furniture, trees, plants, crude ]etro!eum, mineral, carbonated and se'^.er waters, root beer, ginger ale. copper, cotton, libraries, nuts, oils, drugs, seeds, spices, 'tea. tapioca, turpentine, wax. and a host of other articles are also admitted without the payment of a cent's worth of duty. Some of these were free under the terms of the Dingley tariff, others under special orders issued by the secretary of war. and they are all free £under the new act.

'HOPOllTK"INAL RKl'KISSKNTATlOX as a method of electing members of city (•ouncilshas been endorsed by the American Municipal League. In somestates the legislature has come within a few votes of authorizing its^ adoption by law. It is a reform that when once it gains a foothold and is given a fair trial will sweepi the country like tho Australian ballot reform did a few years ago, and Jlike the voting machine reform is doing now. Like these two reforms also its object is improved goverament.not by changing human nature, but by enabling the people to register their wishes more accurately.

Now that civil government has been granted to Porto Rico, the Democrats would have the country believe that a great injustice has been done to that little island, when the truth is that it is to be granted the largest possible measure of self-government and educated in American ideas of citizenship. Not one cent of tax. either direct or indirect. is to be collected from there that will not be returned in the way of schools, ports, roads, bridges, light houses, and all those improvements tliat mark the progress of a vigorous and growing people.

the last two calendar years, under the Dingley tarill. we bought from Kurope goods worth $72").000.000. In the same two years we sold to Kurope goods worth *1.910,000,000. The balance of trade in our favor was thus $1,21"),000,000 from Kurope alone. This is the sort of "entangling foreign alliance" that is caused by the Republican policy of protection. It is entangling to the other fellow.

LAST year's coal production of the United States was 258.030.000 short, tons, as compared with 21!),97-!.007 tons in 1898, and ISO,000,000 tons in 1897. This was an increase of more than -10 per cent, within two years. In 1892 and in lS'J.'J, the coal product averaged almost Ki2.000.o0u tons each year, dropping oil to 152.000,000 tons in the Democratic year of business stagnation. 1*94

Trestle On Fire.

The Big Four trestle west of the city took fire Monday after the morning trains had passed and was burning merrily when discovered by Mrs, Couger, living near the east end. Mrs Couger endeavored to put it out but had to call assistance from the home of Ben Wilhite, where some workmen were employed. They came to her assistance and with water from the Wilhite place soon had the hungry flames subdued.

Death of Jacob Patton.

Lafayette Cull: Jacob Patton. vicepresident of the Kalley-Patton hardware company, and one of the oldest residents of Tippecanoe county and the city of Lafayette, died at 7 o'clock this morning at his late home. No. 017 Ferry street. Mr. Patton had been in poor health all winter but his condition did not become alarming until ten days ago. For over fifty years a resident of Lafayette, he has been prominent in its growth and his presence will be missed in business circles. Jacob Patton was born August 28. 1S27, in Butler county, Ohio. The same year his parents moved to I ndiana, locating in Tippecanoe, county, near Dayton. Here the deceased grew to manhood, and spent his early life on his father's farm. In 1847 he located in Lafayette, and Oct. 4, 1819. was united in marriage to Miss Mary Reed, of Rossville. For many years Mr. Patton had been a member of the hardware firm of FalleyPatton company, and had displayed excellent business ability. He was actively engaged in his business until this spring, when ill health caused him to retire, though he continued his interest in the firm. Mr. Patton had for fortylive years been a member of the Methodist Kpiscopal church, and was prominently identified with Trinity M. 10. church. He was an earnest Christian, and a good man in every sense of the word. The widow and three children survive, viz: Mrs. W. P. Herron. of Crawfordsville, William R. Patton. of Indianapolis, and Miss Laura G. Pattun. of this city. The funeral will occur from the family residence on Ferry street .next Monday afternoon at o'clock. Rev. Walter D.

Will Make It an Oasis.

General Wallace is very busy these days on his model game, fish and fruit farm near Vountsville. The grounds are rapidly being placed in form by a force of men and preparations for the fish pond are under way. Just at present one thousand fancy grape slips from the best Ohio vineyards are being put out under the direction of Fred Schweitzer.

A house is being erected on the farm and in this the keeper of the grounds will reside. The house will also contain a "den"' which will be General Wallace's for private use and here he will spend a good portion of his time. He intends to have a place unequaled in this part of the country and the mitural advantages of the place are in his favor. The magnificent spring in the ravine once furnished the water power for a mill.

D. W. eat ley's Financial Condition. The invoice of the D. W. Yeagley stock of dry goods and clothing in Thorntown was completed lastThursday niirht by Isadore Eichman. of Lebanon, and Mr. Waygee of the John Ilibben dry goods company of Cincinnati. The inventory has not been filed with the trustee yet and the figures are not available. Mr. M. /.ion, who is acting as trustee for Mr. Veagley's creditors says it is thought Mr. Yeagley's assets will be sufficient to pay all debts and leave him a surplus. The stock will be sold for the present at retail. In case this sale does not realize what is expected, the stock will be sold in bulk.

It Makes Them Wince.

Tho Indianapolis ntniel contains a lengthy article abusing Miss Carrie Krout's novel. ''Knights in Fustian." The article was presumably written by some Democrat who feels that a recalling of the past is not to the credit of his party. The article in question abuses Gov. Morton also and demonstrates that the writer was probably under the iron hand himself during the war. possibly a knight in fustian.

Rauch Is Out.

Thorntown Aryius: llev. C. M. Rauch has written the Presbyterian congregation here that he will not accept the pastorate of the church here. The congregation is very much disappointed, but it is the opinion of not a few, that after what has been said and done that he is qualified and better adapted to horse trading.

I. C. Elston, Jr., to Keokuk. Ottumwa, (Iowa,j Courier: I. C. Elston. jr., who has been associated with the management of the local gas company, will leave in a few days for Keokuk, to assume the management of the gas plant in that city, recently purchased by himself and associates.

AVOID all drying inhalants and use that which cleanses and heals the membrane. Ely's Cream Balm is such a remedy and cures catarrh easily and pleasantly. Coid in the head vanishes quickly. Price 50 cents at druggists or by mail.

Catarrh caused difliculty in speaking and to a great extent of hearing. By the use of Ely's Cream Balm dropping of mucus has ceased, voice and hearing have greatly improved.—J. W. Davidson, Att'y at Law, Monmouth. 111.

Time was wneu Cancer was considered as incurable as leprosy. Physicians and friends could give little relief or encouragement to one afflicted with this terrible disease. Even now doctors know of no remedy for this fearful malady while admitting it to b« a blood disease, they still insist that there is no hope outside of a surgical operation, and advise you to have the Cancer cut out, but at the same time cannot assure you that ic will not return. You may cut or draw out the sore, but another will come is its place, for the disease is in the blood —is deep-seated and destructive, and beyond the reach of the surgeon's knife oi caustic, flesh-destroying plasters. The blood must be purified and strengthened, the system relieved of all poisonous, effete matter before the Cancer sore will heal.

S. S. S. is the only medicine that can overcome this powerful and contaminating poison and force it out of the blood. It builds up and invigorates the old, and supplies new, rich, life-giving blood. S. S. S. is a purely vegetable remedy no mineral can be found in it the roots and herbs from which it is made contain powerful purifying properties that act directly upon the blood system and make a safe and permanent cure of Cancer. It has cured thousands, why not you

If you have an obstinate sore, don't rely upon salves or ointments to cure it begiu with S. S. S at once it will cleanse your blood and prevent the formation of cancerous cells.

Mrs. R. Sliirer, I,a Plata, Mo., writes A small pimple came on my jaw about one inch below the ear on the left side of my face. At first it gave me no trouble, and I did not think it was anything serious until the jaw began to swell and became much inflamed. At the same time the sore began to spread and eat into the flesh, and gave me intense pain. I tried everything 1 coulrl hear of, but nothing did me anv pood. I then began the use of S. S. S., and after taking several bottles the Cancer healed and theri is now no sign of the disease. This was two years ago, and I am still enjoying perfect health."
