A Corrupt Practices Act. Senator Stuart, of Marion eounty, has introduced a bill to prevent cor- . ruption in elections. It defines bribery and provides a penalty to be imposed both upon the briber and the bribed, and prohibits any candidate Irom promising any deputyship or from securing the promise of any one not to vote. Mo candidate may make any promise that will influence the primaries in his behalf within ten days before the • holding of the primaries or within sixty days before the bolding of the election. Intimidation and impersonation are forbidden under penalty of fine and imprisonment. The most important section is that limiting the election expenses of candidates, apd requiring the filing of a sworn and itemized statement <jf expenses thirty days before assuming office. The officer with whom these statements are to be filed is the one authorized to issue the certificate of election, and no certificate of election can be issued until this statement is filed. No person shall be exempt from answering questions as to violations of this law when there shall be a trial. No person shall be allowed to collector expend money to secure ’the defeat as any candidate. All money must be raised and spent by regular committees, and each committee must have a treasurer of its owl who must keep an accurate record of money received and ot the objcects lor which it is disbursed. This statement, which must give a complete record of all the details for a period ot ninety days before the election, is to be filed with the auditor of the county. A failure on the part of the treasurer of any committee to comply with the provisions ot the law will subject him to a fine of not more than SSOO or less than SSO. Probably the most interesting section of the bill is that limiting the • amuunt of money which candidates and committes may spend. The schedule is as follows: For five thousand voters or less, $100; for each one hundred voters over 5,000, and less than ten thousand, $2; for each one hundred voters over ten thousand and less than twenty tbousond, $1; for each one hundred voters over twenty thousand, 50 cents. The number of votes is the total number votes cast for all candidates at the preceding election. A little figuring will show that even these terms would produce very tidy sums for “legitimate” expenses.—Hunting Democrat. About all the neighboring towns haye been paaking donations for the needy and destitute of the greatest country sun ever shown on. Are the poor of this country robbed, or are they too shiftless to provide, for themselves? Is it the amount they are compelled to pay foj their living that impoverishes them? Should it be the case, then this the beat country the sun ever shown on, / should take some steps toward giving them the necessary relief without having to beg enough to live bn, and that generally given to them with a stinted hand. The govern-

ment should see that they are properly guarded by the same law that guarantees to every one the protectian of this what we call the best government in the world. Judge Kirkpatrick., of the Howard County Circuit Court of KokoI mo, has placed on record of said court an order directing the prosecuting attorney to appear for the defense in a divorce ease where the i same is likely to go by default, to compell the applicant to show a good ami sufficient- ..cause- And where the charge is adultry he will require the appheans to make oath that they have not been guilty of the same offense. The true progress of society consists in the steady advancement toward a just appropriation of wages, the giving to every man of that which his industry entitles him. Were this done there would be no poverty and all would have the opportunity for intellectual improvement, moral development and social happiness. “Coin our silvur, and charge us for the difference between the coin and the market price,” says the silver miners of the west to the pluto crate of the east. Could anything be fairer? But the gold bugs wonli have it. “Do nothing to stop the increasing value of our gold,” is the answer they return. , ■ ■■ t Mr. Strong, the recently elected Republican Mayor of New York, has suspended the law and authorized the saloons to keep open for business from 2 to 11 p. m. on Sundays. How is this for Republican reform ? Some time ago Mr. Simon Goldbantn, of San Luis Rey, Cal, was troubled with a lame back and rheumatism. He used Chamberlain’s Pain Balm and a prompt cure was effected. He says he has since advised many of his friends to try it and all who have done so have spoken highly of it.

Burket it.should have been Mrs. Amelia Yager and Gus Yager, of whom land was purchased. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is famous for its cures of bad colds. Jt opens the secretions, relieves the lungs and aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. If freely used as soon as tlie-cold has been contracted, and before it has become settled in the system, it greatly,lessens the severity of the attack and has often cured in a single day what would have been a severe cold, Sold by Blackburn & Miller, Druggists. j LINN GROVE.

Gunderinan, of Diamondale, ilich., we are permitted to make thh abstract: “I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Ring’s New Discovery, as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rivers Junction she was brought-with pneumonia succeeding lagrippe.
