Teach us, dear Lord, to know Thy will; Help us, dear Lord, all hearts to fill With peace, and joy, and love, until All days shall be Thanksgiving Days. —Will M. Maupin. The editorial writer or his manager, has come to realize that the average reader cares but little at this time for political leaders. The result of the conclusion is seen in the character of subjects discussed on the editorial page. One newspaper on Monday contained a long article defining conditions of money, market and business, another lengthy editorial discusses the improved opportunities of the farmer for enlarging his literary horizon; another attempts to define and point the way to feminine happiness, this is followed by a “race suicide” article in which the writer deplores and questions the necessity for large "families. AU of which goes to show that your true editorial writer need never be at loss for a theme or subject, about which he can write with more or less

satisfaction. It does not necessarily g follow, however, that the public will t be influenced by the writer’s vagaries, c t s When Congress reconvenes in ad- t dition to the lobby, the so-called third . house, a. fourth house .will for the t upon the scene. This is a or orsnalssitlon M de u p of t "Reputable men usually of more tu. an local fame who will counteract the work of this corrupt lobby and will look after purity in legislation, 1 schemes df graft will be watched, t the interests of the people guarded \ and attempts will be made to divert • legislation into correct, honest and t legitimate channels. Some of the best men of the country have promised their aid hi furtherance of the project, Th® necessity for such an t organization as this is a terrible com- 1 ment on legislation and legislative , methods at Washington. It" shows to what extent corruption in legislation has prevailed and exhibits the need of a change of party predominance in national affairs. A popular doctrine with the present party in power in this government, especially under the Roosevelt adminstration, is, the demand for an increase of our army and navy. The pretext for this is that thereby the continuance of peace is best promoted. All history shows this is a mistake. Mr. Gladstone, than whom there * was no greater, shrewder observer of current events, has this to say in his day, thirty years ago: “It has been a favorite plea that,, by keeping liberal military and naval establishments, we should be placed in a state of security , and saved from panics. But the result j has been exactly thd reverse. While.' our expenditure remained low’,' the 1 dread. of invasion was a thing hardly ! known.’’ In our own country we have I never suffered from any fear of inva-' eion till our army v»as increased to above 25,000 men and our navy began l tn be counted one of the great navies of the world.

Recently Mr. Bryan said: "There must be no mistaking of the issue and no confusing of the line of battle. The trust as an institution will have few open defenders. The poUcy of the trust magnates will be to insist upon ‘reasonable legislation’ and they j will then rely upon their own power to corrupt legislators and intimidate ( others to prevent the application of j any remedies which would interfere with the trusts. Our motto must be: | ‘A private monopoly is indefensible j and intolerable’ and our plan of attack must .contemplate the total and complete outgrowth of monopoly pria-! ciples in industry. We need not quarrel over remedies. We must show our selves willing to support any remedy which promises substantial advantages to the people in their warfare against monopoly.” The fierce denunciation of W. Bourke Cockran by Richard Croker is not a surprise to those familiar w'ith the history of Tammany and its past leaders. It was during the Cleveland administration that Croker felt impelled to place the seal of condemnation on the eloquent orator. Just what caused the estrangement between these two men has never been authoritatively made known. This, however, is a part of the story: Croker acused Cockran of downright duplicity and marked him for decapitation as a Tammany member of congress. And Cockran was also dismissed as Tammany’s spokesman. As an oratoi Cockran has no superior in this country, but those who have studied him closely say he is absolutely without convictions or conscience.—South Bend Times. Fassett A. Cotton, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, in his discussion of the question of high school fraternities, goes to the very root of the subject—which is the nat ure and , function of the school, it should, he rightly says, be regarded,

not as a preparatory, but as a finishing school. The presumption should be, for the facts sustain it, that the children are not destined to go beyond the high school. Therefore, its purpose should be, not so much to prepare its graduates for colleges, a-- to give the best possible education to those who are to finish their school career with the high school. It is for these that it is more particularly designed. It should be looked on as the college of the great majority of the pupils, as it is the only college that they are ever to know’. “It must,” therefore, as Mr. Cotton says, ‘be thought of in reiaii/jp to the community, and ppt in relation tfcz college.’’ “-Ki “u&B Fainietis Strike Breakers.

Governor Manly has appointed Mrs. Sarah Tarney Campbell of Anderson, as a trustee of the Industrial School for Girls at Indianapolis. Mrs. Campbell is heart and soul in practical charity. She has devoted much time to charity and is qualified to fill the place given her by the governor. The Anderson News says: The people of Anderson are proud of Mrs. Sarah Tarney-Campbell. They esteem her for her intellectual attainments, her goodness of heart and for the years of disinterested labor she has cheerfully given to better the condition of the unfortunate poor of this city. Gov. Manly could have selected no one better qualified for the position of trustee of the Girls Industrial School than Mrs. Campbell. The minister, like the successful merchant must first secure the attention of the people before he can even hope to be successful. Not only that, he must study to please, must be able to convince by persuasion. Day after day the merchant appeals to the public through the press, by artistic decoration, by making his place of business comfortable and finally by convincing the individual

of his truthfulness. It is the cheerful, sunny disposition that Attracts. There is no room in the world for the “grouch,” the ill-tempered pessimist, the morose man with the burden of the world upon his shoulders. “Look up, lift up.” The Evening Banner at Bluffton on Friday celebrated its eighth birthday, and it almost seems increditable that eight short years could contain so much progress as is shown in that daily publication. It easily leads all small dailies in this neck o' the woods, and that is going some, when the Daily Democrat has to be reckoned with. But the Banner is entitled to the ribbon and we hasten to congratulate Editor Saunders, to whom the eifdit 1? f or tlie present prosperous conditiofi. The manufacturers of threshing machines met in national convention 't Indianapolis last week and adopted i resolution asking for a revision of the tariff and the removal of the high duties on steel, iron and lumber. They oven went so far as lb declare their i willingness to have the duty on .threshing machines and traction engines abolished entirely. Other man'ufaetnrers outside of the great trusts ’and combines, are moving in the same direction, among them the independent steel mills. One of these days there is going to be a tariff revision that will count, and the time is not far off. i _ ...— j Montgomery county had an antiboodle campaign and all the people !are pleased with the results. How (foolish it is to raise a large boodle ! purse to put money in the pockets- of ;a lot of men who ought to be in the ! penitentiary instead of being paid to I debauch their character by selling their greatest privileges as American .citizens. A radical reform in that diilrection is greatly needed.—Rochester ■Sentinel. j . ’! If the Democratic the Indiana legislature stick close to the 1 Democratic State platform they will not go far wrong in the coming session of the legislature; and if they make an honest, earnest effort to secure the legislation therein recommended, the chances are they will succeed in seeing some of the -measures enacted into law, -for the Republicans dare not go back on them.—Columtiia"city Post. . | There appears to be some dissati’s- : faction •wkfh'lfto; L’t^h-Judge who fail-

ed to impose a jail sentence on President Joseph Sinith of the Mormon ' church, who pleaded guilty to the charge of unlawful cohabitation. It may be, however, that the court inferrred that a man with five wives and forty-five children could neither pay , nor stay a fine of S3OO and would have ito go to jail.—Ft. Wayne News. The decision of the supreme court holding the Moore law constitutional, ! and that a “blanket remonstrance,” ‘ signed by the required number of ' voters and properly filed will defeat ' all applications for license to sell intoxicating liquors in the township or ward affected for two years, makes the aforesaid Moore law a pretty husky proposition as it stands. It turns out that all of the Democratic state ticket in New York was elected with the exception of Mr. Hearst. Considering the fact that the Republicans acknowledge spending $615,000 in the campaign, the result is not at all bad. It shows that something can yet be expected from New York. David H; McAbee, State factory inspector, declares that the laws of Indiana are very defective in the matter of securing the use of safe steam boilers.* Every year there are explosions and deaths owing to defective boilers. The Hartford Fire Insurance company, in inspecting its risks, has condemned 763 boilers during the year. Yet the State has no laws sufo ficient to compel the disuse of such death traps.

CATARRH To prove unquestionably, and beyond any doubt that Catarrh of the nose and throat can be cured, I am furnishing patients through druggists, small free Trial Boxes of Dr. Shoop’s Catarrh Cure. I do this because I am so certain, that Dr. Shoop's Catarrh Cure will bring actual substantial help. Nothing certainly, is so convincing as a physical test of any article of real, genuine merit. Butthat article must possess true merit, else the test will condemn, rather than advance it. Dr. Shoop’s Catarrh Cure is a snow white, healing antiseptic balm, put up in beautiful nickel capped glass jars at 50c. Such soothing agents as Oil Euc&lyptus, Thymol. Menthol, etc., are incorporated into a velvety, cream like Petrolatum, imported by Dr. Shoop from Europe. If Catarrh of the nose and throat has extended to the stomach, then by all i means also use internally, Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. ! Stomach distress, a lack of general strength, bloating, belching, biliousness, bad taste, etc. I surely call for Dr. Shoop’s Restorative. I For uncomplicated catarrh only of the noseend , throat nothing else, however, need be used but Dr. Shcop’s Catarrh Cure WM. H. NACHTRIEB.

WILL LIKELY BE REMOVED Accused of Having Been Intoxicated For Three Months—Sold Coal on City’s Credit. (Special to Daily Democrat.) BLUFFTON, Ind., Nov. 27.—The most interesting session of the city council held here in many “moons” was the one of last evening. The first and most important event of the evening was the filing of charges against City Clerk Edmund G. Elliott by the mayor, A. W. Hamilton. The charges are in seven counts, the first five of which accuse Elliott of having been intoxicated while on duty. It is said be was found five different times beastly drunk and that he has scarce-

i ly drawn a sober breath since September Ist. The sixth paragraph of the j charges accuses him of having used the credit of the city to buy a car load l of coal, which he sold and kept the proceeds. The seventh charge is that of refusing to obey the orders of the council. Elliot denies the sixth charge. In a general way he is also accused of ! acepting license money from peddlers and not reporting the same. A committee of three members of the council were appointed, who will act in the of a grand jury, thoroughly investigating the charges and giving Elliot a fair and impartial hearing. If they find any of the charges true, which seems quite probable, they will recommend that the office be declared vacant, and a new city clerk will then be employed. The gas franchise, over which there has been much discussion here recently, was due to come up last evening. It had been twice vetoed by the mayor and jvas expected to be called last evening in an attempt to pass it over the mayor’s head. However, nothing was done, this being an easy way to kill the bill, as according to law the limit for passing this ordinance is at the first meeting. Should the promoters care to push the franchise question further they must begin over and this probably will never be done. 0 LITTLE IONA WYNN IS DEAD Lived Here Until Recently When Parents Moved to Huntington. Little lona Wynn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Wynn of 11 West Sabine street, died Saturday morning about 1 from an attack of pnuemonia. She had been sick about two weeks, but her condition was not regarded serious until Friday evening. She was about nine years old. Her father was at work at the Erie shops, where he has been working since the family moved here frpm Adams county last July. He was called home during the evening when her condition became dangerous. Besides the mother and father there are left two brothers and two sisters to mourn the death of the little playmate. The funeral was held at the residence on Sabine street Sunday afternoon. Rev. Cephas Shelburne officiated. Mrs. F. W. Grayston and Mrs. J. L. Stewart furnished the music. Flowers were in charge of Misses Gladys Miller and Helen Booth. Pall bearers were playmates, Misses Hilda Blynn, Florence Ertzinger, Blanch Braughton and Esther Schenekl. —Huntington News- Democrat, The Wynn family liveA until a fev,; montbs afe'd, little lona was a favorite those who knew 'her.

■ q_ : Eighty second birthday /• Large Crowd of Relatives and Friends Walk in on Her—A Pleasant Event. Last Sunday was Mrs. G. H. Me: ers’ eighty-second anniversary and her children and grandchildren and a number of very intimate friends walked in upon her and treated her to a genuine surprise. The surprise was complete As Mrs. Meyers had practical!’/ forgotten the fact that she had reached h&r eighty-second milestone, and was seated in an unconcerned manner whefl her friends walked in. A good supper was served, after which the guests enjoyed the evening in a good old-fashioned way, and made the occasion one that Mrs. Meyers will long remember.. During the evening her three sons, Joseph, Bernard presented their mother with a handsome coal stove, so that she may thus be able to keep herself good and warm during the coming cold winter weather. The guests stayed until a late hour, when they dispersed, wishing Mrs. Meyers many more such happy events. Grandma Meyers is one of the best known pioneer women of this county. She is in fairly good health for one of her years. , 7 01 Don’t fail to get tickets for yourself and children for the musical*’, at the Christian church Saturday eyehi\ g. Tickets 10 and 15 cents.

J- IT WILL PAY YOU To Read the Following from Eminent Clergyman. Buffalo, N. Y., May 15, 1902. It is now about ten years since the Keeley Institute first came under my observation. From that time until now I have knoCki i many persons who were cured • p of the drink habit by the Keeley Treatment; consequently, I am ! thoroughly convinced of its efficacy. The Keeley Cure has now become so firmly established an institution, that thinking people ' no longer question its great power for good. Where the prayers of | sorrowing parents, of heartbroken wives and neglected children have been of no avail to check the ■ drunkard in his downward path,, the Keeley Cure has brought about the happy result, and again, made him a happy member of a happy family, and a useful and respected member of society. May the good work inaugural- I ed by Doctor Keeley continue to>. prosper until the terrible curse of drunkenness shall have been, banished from the face of the osurtu R. C. O’CONNELL, i Rector Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Dr. W. V. Daniels, manager of the Marion, Ind., Keeley Institute will be glad to answer all communications regarding the treatment, terms, etc. Communicationa treated confidential.
