The assassination of Governor Goebel was as dastardly a crime in the eyes of the law. as was the lamentable tragedy at Buffalo, which took the life of a president. Assassin Czolgusz has been condemned to die the week beginning October 28. Xow let Taylor and Finley be taken back and tried up>n an indictment charging the murder of Governor Goebel. The United States and Great Britain have reached an agreement concerning the isthmian canal question, and the new treaty will be presented to the Senate for its ratification early in the coming session. By the terms of the new treaty the United States may. in time of war. deal with the canal as it deems best for its own interests. It may close the canal to the ships of its enemies, and could, if f it were thought advisable fortify the channel or its termini. — Senator Beveridge arrived home from his six months journey around ; the world. Most of this time was spent in Russia and the Orient, but > particularly in Manchuria, and the i Philippines, although brief time was spent in England and in Germany, i The senator went from one end of ; Mauchuria to the other, penetrating : the heart of the country. He also , made an investigation of the condi-1 tions in the Philippines in comparison ;, with those he found there on his visit . two years ago. Democrats from Xew Jersey are enthusiastic over the prospect of tuat state being returned to the support of Jeffersonian and Jacksonian doc-1 trine. The competition for the gubernatorial nomination is the most spirited that has taken place for ; years. In addition, the opposition has exhibited such li«tlessness both ■ in the naming of candidates and the promulgation of a platform, which by the way. is as palatable as lukewarm water without salt, that victory seems a foregone conclusion.

Foar Watne is in the throes of an inter urban war and the city council, their constituents and the newspapers are all tangled into a conglomeration of diversified opinions, that is hard to : beat. j The songs of early peace and pro gross which have been persistently sung by official investigators wbo . hare returned from the Philippine | Islands have either been turned to I dirges or silenced by the deplorable newg from Samar. According to an act of the last leg- I islature every citv office will be vacant the first of next September, and this i contemplated vacancy will have to be • supplied at the regular election next May. After that the term of every officer will be two instead of four rears. I The enumeration of voters which is taken every six reais, shows an increase of 67 j6l in the state. Adams oountv leads many of its neighbors in showing up an increase, there being 561 more voters in the county now than in 1896 k The increase in Jay ] county is but 124 and Randolph coun- I ty 109.

Mayor laggart. wbo has most successfully held the reins of government there for the past six years. With Mr. Bookwaiter the entire republican ticket was elected by majorities averaging 1600. Indianapolis is a repub lican city of 3000 majority, and has within its borders a negro voting population of 6500. With this state lof things staring them in the face, the democrats made a gallant fight, cutting their majoritv in the middle and giving the silk stockings of the Marlon Club, a good run for their money. — The Richmond Item one of the loading republican newspapers in Indiana. gives its party a round of ad vice: To keep the democratic party,! pledged to a general reduction of the tariff, from carrying the next congressional elections, and probably the next presidential election, the republican party must revise the present tariff laws. To enable the republican 1 party to do this it is necessary to oppose the largest and most influential ot the world and the sectional jealousy of several local : cities. The fiercest fight must be waged within the ranks of the republican party, a fight for the control of that party.” Indiana's attorney-general has undertaken to hand out sjae of his n-adv made opinions that the officers of Adams county have taken undue iadvantage of tne Amish here. tn compelling them to swear or affirm to their assessment sheets. Tne attor-ney-general has no doubt been misinformed on the subject. The Amish in question not only would not swear or affirm but they refused point blank to sign their assessment sheets, thus making theta utterly worthless. The attorney-general after setting himself right upon this question, will again devote his undivided attention to twist ing the revised statutes into a defense of Tarlov and Finley, the Kentucky refugees who are charged with complicity in the assassination of Governor Goeble.

One of the McCulloch crowd was explaining to a farmer Saturday afternoon in Portland why the republican party should defeat Congressman George W. Cromer at the next congressional convention, and among other things. Cromer was charged with immorality. He said that George Cromer's moral record very bad and that the Eighth district should be represented by a cleaner man. It is quite true that Mr. Cromer has not a record of immaculate whiteness, but ye Gods and little - held up to public view the moral and political records of McCulloch and the gang that is behind him Line them up and gaze at them, Ugh! Portland Sun Cungexssmin George W. C*omez f was in town a short time last Th .--dav. and no apprehecsioo was manifest that be was unduly agitated over the I combination of McCullough newspapers, whose batteries will be turned against his nomination. George F. i McCullough is a millionaire of Mm- ' eie. who made his money in street railway and interurban subsdies and; Xber grafts. Member? of the last legislature will remember him as an expert lobyist who tried to unload the Muncie normal school on the state? and it is about the only graft that was turned down by that noble band of g <x p. patriots. McCullough is an am bttious com and wants to build up a machine that will grind out states men to his order, and with this end in view is letting loose real handscmelv in buying up a number of republican newspapers, whose sole mission will be to sneeze every time McCullough takes snuff. Congressman Cromer has engendered the enmity of Mr. McCullough so the first’ patriotic duty of tbe new eighth district newspaper machine will be to defeat the present congressman. Their success in this instance will be a fair criterion of the»r power hereafter. In our opinion it is a Bilk and water affair and will amount to nothing more than tbe placing in circulation of some of McCullough's capital. Newspapers of this brand will have but little influence upon the public, and lees with tkxae who take an active part in ■ tbe political affaire of tbeir partv. The Berne W it tees and his religous scruple* hare again broken looee. It comes gallantly to tbe defense of • Rev J J Schwartz. the king bee of tbe Adams county Anush. It has not been many years since the editor of this | paper listened to this reverend gen»’«man defend in tbe Adams circuit ‘ court, such unlawful acts as marrying without license, and this is the gen tieman who perf rnxl thia sac red ceremony, and advised his religious sect to defy tbe laws in taking out marriage licenses. Rev Schwartz has ever and always been tbe contentious spirit among tbe Amish Tbe difference between them and tbe officers of , Adams count v. is not a matter of swearing, and in this tbe attorneygeneral of Indiana has teen imposed upon by Rev. Schwartz aided and abetted by tbe editor of tbe Berne Witness. They refuse tn affirm tbe same as they refuse to swear. In tbe matter of tbeir u«wMn*tt lists some of them refused to sign them and all that were arrested bad refused > to either affirm or swear to them. Tbe law prescribes a penalty of to be imposed upon tbe township aseeaaor for falling to either swear or affirm tbe one aimeeed. Dos tbe editor of the Berne Witness desire Assessor Soldoer to become * violator along with tbe Amish who refused to comply with thia pro

vision of the law* The editor of the Berne Witness can better employ himself in upholding tbe laws of the state, instead of defending rank violati c ns of them, do matter if the violator be preacher or what not. THE B EST DEMOCRATS. The president's policy of appointing “the best democrats’’ of the south to federal offices for tbe purpose of gain og democratic votes in congress in favor of tariffs, bounties and subsidies naturally suggests the questions: I How is be to tell who are the best JrEiocrats :f the south ’ Since tbe I purpose of tbeir selection is well ; known, it is obvious that, in tbe estimation of northern republicans, the \ best of all democrats will be the man > who will abandon the principles which [ he has professed to bold and support the antagonistic ideas of his political I opponents for a consideration. If this policy does not bring to the front as scaly a lot of politicians as have ever gained conspicuity at any time in America it will be because there has been a radical change in human nature of late. Tbe objection which northern republicans urge against southern republicans is that they are “professionals" and otherwise off color. They have no standing in society. They are mercenaries. How much differ eoce will there be between them and tbe democrats whose support is to be bought with patronage and plunder? The beet democrats cf the south are not purchasable at any price. No doubt there are southern public men who pose as democrats for purposes of election to office who are not and never have been democrats in anything but name. but. unless the mass of the people are to be corrupted also, the support bv these men of republican policies in congress cap have no other result than their speed v retirement from public life. Thev’ mav be able to betray their constituents once. They can hardly hope to have an opportunity to do so more than once. Only one honorable course is open to the democrats of the south and to the democrats of every other section as well, and that is to rescue their party from the populists and socialists and make it genuinely democratic in all of its ideas and purposes. Doing this they will remove at once the deplor able conditions which have suggested to scheming republicans at tbe north th* possibility of corrupting some of tbeir leaders and promoting dissension among tbeir rank and file. In any event it will be well for everybody to disabuse his mind of the notion that it is possible to reach the best men of any organization or of any communitv by bribery. No matter what tbeir station mav'be, no matter what outward semblance of respectability they may bear, tbe corruptible* at tbe south, like the cor ruptibke everywhere else, will be many degrees removed from the best element* of citizenship. If the new policT shall prove mifficieotly tempt ing to cause defections among democratic leaders and divisions in the democratic rote which will make uncertain or impossible tbe triumph of candidates wbo do not bold their principles subject to sale all such may at least have tbe satisfaction of knowing to a ••ertainty that under such circumataoces the pw,t of honor is a private station, Chicago Chronicle.

“I had long suffered from indigestion." writee G. A. LeDeis. Cedar City, Mo. “Like others I tried many preparations but never found anything that did me good until I took Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. One bottle cured me. A friend who had suffered similarly I put on the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. He is gaining fast and will soon be able to work. Before he used Kodol Dyspepsia Cure indigestion hail made him a total wreck. Smith, Yager A Falk. o Dr. H. E.
