PERFECT THE ORGANIZATION. The general trend of the campaign 1« bo manifestly toward the Democrats, the complete unification of the party so certain, and the divisions in the ranks of the Republicans so pronounced, that it must be apparent to everyone that the only thing necessary to insure Democratic success is to get out the full party vote. To this end the organization should be perfected tn every detail and nothing whatever should be taken for rr ;-* 1. The day of the election is rapidly approaching, and the organization in everj county and precinct should be on the alert to secure the fullest expression possible at the polls. The Democratic nominees have had splendid audiences, the minds of the people have been receptive, and there is no question but the interest in the issues before the people is deep-seated t nd certain to bear iruit in November. But nothwlthstanding this, the tendency to let little tilings interfere with the discharge of duty on election day 1b pronounced and this should be guarded against and reduced to the minimum. No Democrat should be so absorbed in his business affairs that he cannot take the time necessary to go to the polls and vote: no Democrat should be so indifferent to the result that he would not be willing to make a sacrifice for the party on the final day of the struggle. If there are men in the county who are physically unable to go to the polls, helps should be provided in the form of comfortable conveyances. and every other needed as . sistance should be given. It is the duty of the organization to look after such things and especially to pre--ent the loss of votes through failure to provide the rnenns of getting to the polls of invalids and others who would be glad to vote but who are not so situated that exposure would net result and serious consequences to health follow. This class particularly should be looked after and given every neeoed assistance to reach the polls. Then. too. every man who has a right to vote in the county, but who, from any cause is absent or likely to be absent on the day of the election, ought to be looked after and urged to change his arrangements in Buch away as not to interfere with the casting of his ballot. If the Democrats are to have a majority in the county, the larger that majority is the better for the state and national tickets. But whether it is to be a majority or a minority, the obligation is no less imperative to make the one fir large and the other as small as possible. Let the work of perfecting the organization go on and let it be so thorough that no detail shall be overlooked. Many of the little things that may appear inconsequential in themselves are potent in results and the district, county and township chairmen cannot be too zealous in looking

after them ana seeing that tney be turned to good account for the party. If eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, it is also the price of political victory, and every Democrat should be on his guard and should work earnestly that victory may be assured. The persistent refusal of the Republican majority in the federal Senate to ratify the reciprocity treaties negotiated in pursuance with the policy advocated alike by Mr. Blaine and Mr. McKinley, and expressly sanctioned in the Dingley act itself, is a discouraging exhibition of bad faith. As already mentioned by me, the exorbitant duty imposed on many an imported article by the Dingley tariff was avowedly intended by its author not to be permanent, but to serve temporarily as a maximum, from which the federal government was empowered to offer a reduction in return for an equivalent concession on the part of a foreign country. President McKinley undertook honestly to carry out the purpose of the act. A number of reciprocity agreements were negotiated, which. If ratified, would have the twofold result of cheapening many imported products for American consumers and of opening and en'-rging foreign markets to American producers. Not one of those agreements has met with the approval of the Republican masters of the senate. Indeed they did not even permit their consideration — Judge Parker’s Letter of Acceptance. Judge Parker very clearly shows in his letter of acceptance that there is a law to regulate the trusts if only there is some one to enforce its provisions. He speaks as a lawyer and cites a case in point to prove the strength of his position. “The determination of this question.” he says, “was left by the people in framing the constitution to the judiciary and not to the executive. The supreme court of the United States has recently considered this question, and. in the case of the Western Union Telearaph company versus the Call Publishing company. to be found in the 181st volume of the United States supreme court reports, at page 92. It decided that common law principles could be applied by United States courts in cases involving interstate commerce in the absence of United States statutes specifically coverin' the case. Such is the law of the land.”

The pa'r! agents of the Republican State Centr-J Committee, who are going over the state trying to traduce the Democratic Vjce-PresidentiaJ candidate by charging that he is an enemy of organized labor, ought to provide themselves with copies of Fairbanks’s complaints against strikers in 1877. They are on record in the United States Ccfiirt and can be easily obtained, together with the names of the men arrested.

Shots From the Commoner. Ex-Senator Mason says he must stand up for the "infant industries" before he stands up for "infant republics.” In other words, the dollar before the flag. It is said that Senator Fairbanks never makes a speech without referring to a cemetery. The senator is always thinking about the final outcome of his vice presidential aspirations. With the ability to set the price of the raw material and the finished product. tc say nothing of injunctionless injunctions, the meat trust is still of the opinion that it has nothing to arbitrate. Panama’s said to be seeking investment for about two-thirds of the $lO,000.000 paid to it by this country. Here is a chance for Secretary Shaw to borrow enough to make up one month’s deficit. There is one kind of reciprocity that the Republican party managers are willing to practice. The receipts for campaign contributions and the maintenance of the "tariff wall” will locate the reciprocity. The Inter Ocean, which complained so bitterly because Mr. Bryan made speeches during his presidential campaigns. is criticising Mr. Parker because he has seen fit to decline all Invitations to make public speeches. Democratic ability to please a Republican organ and the arrival of the millenium are dated for the same day. "Americans never haul down the flag.” theatrically declared Mr. Fairbanks from the speakers’ stand when the flag fell over him. That sounds very pretty, but it is the average Republican spellbinder claptrap. We hauled it down in Mexico, and the hauling down was the one bright spot on that unnecessary struggle. We hauled it aown in Cuba, and the effect of that example was better than all the armed hosts we ever put in the field We had it up in Canada once, but we hauled it down. The American flag should be hauled down whenever to leave it flying would mean departure from American principles. This is a fact that all of the cheap fustian of Republican spellbinders cannot alter. The State Grange of Pennsylvania has asked Republican politicians the following question: “Will you. if elected assist In passing legislation which will enable American citizens to buy Amercan products as cheaply at home as they are sold abroad?” Why don’t the farmers of Indiana ask the same question? Senator Fairbanks declares that the Republican party may be trusted tc deal with the subject of a ship sub sidy “in a patriotic and sensible way.” Unfortunately the two Indiana Senators have demonstrated by their votes for the ship subsidy steal just what a "patriotic and sensible way” is. Saves Two From Death. “Our little daughter had an almost fatal attack of whooping cough and bronchitis,” writes Mrs. W. K. Haviland, of Armonk, N. Y., but when ail other remedies failed, we saved her life with Dr. King's New Discovery. Our niece, who had consumption in an advanced stage, also used this wonderful medicine, and today she is perfectly well.’’ Desperate throat and lung diseases yield to Dr. King.s New Discovery as to no other medicne on earth. Infallible for coughs and colds. 50c and SI bottles guar anteed by Blackburn Si Christen. Trial bottle free. A Love Letter Would not interest vou if you’re looking for a guaranteed Salve for sores, burns or piles. Otto Dodd, of Ponder, Mo.. writes: “I suffered with an ugly sore for a rear, but a box of Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured me.” It’s the best salve on earth. 25c at Blackburn & Christen's drug store. TO VOTE A STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC TICKET. yg*—St. a > Ki! 4* V\

To vote a straight Democratic ticket make an X within the circle which surrounds the Rooster, as the one above is marked. Make no other mark on your ticket. Any other mark than the X will spoil your ballot and will lose your vote. Use nothing to mark the X but the blue penci l that will be given you by the poll clerk. Should you by accident make any other mark on your ballot, return it to the poll clerk and ge* a new one. Before leaving booth fold your ballot so that the face cannot be seen, and so that the initial of the poll clerk on the back can be seen. 164 Acre Farm for Sale Three and one-half miles east of Geneva, Ind.

Testimony of a Minister Rev. JohnS Cox, of Wako. Ark.,, writes: "For 12 years I - offered from vellow Jaundice.

Men who are interested In a clean, honest, business-like administration of national affairs, whether the. be Democrats or Republicans, will indorse that part of Judge Parker’s letter of acceptance that refers to the frauds in the postal service which a Republican Congress refused to investigate. He assures the country that a Democratic Executive and a Democratic Congress would probe the scandals to the bottom and there is no reason to doubt that h« means what be says. GOOD SPIRITS. Good spirits don’t all come from Kentucky. Their main source is the liver—and all the fine spirits ever made in the Blue Glass State could not remedy a bad liver or the hundred-and-one ill effects it produces. You can't have good spirits and a bad liver at the same time. Your liver must be in fine condition if you would feel buoyant, happy and hopeful, bright of eye. light of step, vigorous and successful in your pursuits. You can put vour liver’ in fine condition by using Green’s August Flower —the greatest of all medicines for the liver and stomach and a certain cure for dyspepsia or indigestion. It has been a favorite household remedy for over thirty-five vears. August Flower will make your liver healty and active and thus insure vou a liberal supply of “good spirits.” Trial size 25c; regular bottles 75c. At all druggists.
