It costs a mighty little sum to pay your assessment to the Fort Wayne & right-of-way subsidy. : The benefits to be derived cannot be sung in a few words. The line tra-1 versed a thickly populated country,' and it means lots of travel and lots of business for every one. The subsidy election is May 14. Get ready to stamp the emblem of progress and prosperity. A comparison of the temperance planks in the Democratic and Republican platforms will satisfy every reasonable person that the Democratic declaration is the fairest, squarest, clearest and most honest statement of the two. No Democrat, certainly, can find fault with the position taken by his party. It is definite, straightforward and fully abreast of the times. The Republican declaration is indefinite and evasive in at least one essential respect, and leaves a doubt as to what it really means. The candidates who opposed Watson, the machine candidate—Charles W. Miller, W. L. Taylor and Hugh Th. Miller— went from one end of the state to the other telling the people that he could not be elected if nominated. They declared that he was a corporation candidate, that he had the support of the breweries and saloons, that he was discredited in his own district, and said many other things about him to prove that it was folly to put him at the head of the ticket. Organized labor opposed him from the beginning and will to the end. But the machine and the “interests” had promised him the nomination and they delivered it according to program. The movements that are now on foot for Governor Johnson and Judge Gray, both of whom are admirable men, indicate that after all there maybe a contest for the Democratic nomination. There is nothing as yet to show that the contest will be specially severe. For as things now stand the chances are that Mr. Bryan will be nominated without great difficulty. But with these other candidates in the field, the delegates who go to Denver will have a chance to consider somewhat the question of availability, that the convention will after all be a deliberative body, a great council of the party meeting to consider with care all questions which are connected in any way with the welfare of the party. If, after having an alternative, it still decides that it wants Mr. Bryan and concludes that he is the strongest man that could be nominated its action, taken thus deliberately, will tend to strengthen Mr. Bryan’s candidacy.—lndianapolis News.

When it is the morning after the night before, you ao not nave to look at your tongue to know that the stomach is upset, the head is aching with a dull rhythm, and that all the world looks dreary. The real time to watch the tongue is all of the time. If it is coated with a white fur, or possibly with dark trimmings, even though the stomach does not tell you by the acute pains of indigestion that it needs help, yet the coating shows that you are getting into a bad way and that there is need of Mi-o-na. , Mi-o-na is so positive, so sure, so : reliable in its curative action upon the stomach that Holthouse Drug Co.
