Burton will be In the United States senate and not at the head of the house committees on rivers and harbors, where he has not only displayed but actually prosecuted his hostility to inland waterway Improvements. Mr. Burton's notion of the conservation of the nation’s natural resources as that Issue comprehends inland waterways seems' to be that anything that may divert trade and traffic from Cleveland is foreign to the beneficence of the scheme. Meanwhile, we may as wdR cheer up. Soon Mr. Burton will be merely “a new senatoj:.”—Fort Wayne Sentinel. am—a——■» Talk it over. It you think some one had done you an injustice, wronged you in his opinion o you, your acts or motives, and you care enough about it to be hurt or “touchy” go and talk it over. In nine times out of ten you will find you had a chip on your shoulder, and that the person against whom you had a grievance was the one who by chance knokced It off. Generally, if you talk things over you will find that you are the one in whom “feeling” expresses Itself, and that the other person is ignorant of our feeling or innocent of its cause, even if he had discovered it Talk it over quietly and reasonably, and it will generally settle it-self.—-Elkhart Review. The Strickland bill, designed to protect suffrage, went to engrossment in the spouse Wednesday, with a few amendments that were satisfactory to the Democratic majority, some of them being identical with those proposed by the Republicans. By a'vote .of 59 tq_3B, the Republican amendments were tabled. It seems to us . that this bill is in the main a good measure. If it is so strict as to exclude any voters that have a right to vote, it can still be changed. We ii

PERUNA EDITORIAL NO. I. •\VI , Dr. Whitman is now offering Penina to the public as a regular pharmaceutical product It is just as ethical as any compound put up for the medical profession. Ko straining of medical ethics can find any fault with it THE PRINCIPAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS are prominently incorporated in the label on the bottle, that the people may know that the claims made for Peruna have a true justification. The only departure we shall make from medical ethics in the conduct of Peruna affairs in the future, is the fact that we shall continue to advertise and sell our product TO THE PEOPLE If we would agree to sell to doctors only, to advertise for doctors only, then the medical fraternity would be obliged to recognize Peruna as being entirely within their approval BUT WE SHALL NOT DO THIS. We "ball continue to offer Peruna to the people. We shall continue to oonvey to the people our claims for Peruna as a household remedy. We shall continue to supply the people with free literature, teaching them how to Use our medicine, tevfbieg them how to avoid disease, teaching them many things of benefit io the home. We shall continue to do this, whether the medical profession like it or not We are proposing from this time on to take the public into our confidence. Notwithstanding that some imitators and substitutors will be attempting to put up something which they consider just as good as Peruna, wo are going to draw weida the veil of secrecy and allow any one who chooses to know exactly OF WHAT PERUNA IS COMPOSED. . This ought to disarm all honest criticism. We expect, however, that criticism will continue. On some pretext or other those who are envious of the , y '■■ ■ success of Penna will continue to find People Who Object to Liquid Medicines Can peruna is a great medicine. Now Secure Peruna laOletS. remedy is stronger than ever. Every ■ 6 ' ' year we expect to establish new plants in foreign lands until the people of all the world are suppli ed wUh this valuable household remedy. WE CLAIM PERUNA TO BE A CATARRH REMEDY.

We will add no wards, take away no words. If you wish us to we will publish your portrait in wnnantton with it We will net do this without your written request, without your entire consent. Peruna has cured thousands of people of chronic catarrh, in many phases and locations. At lewd, that is what the people say to us, through unsolicited testimonials.

doubt, however, whether it la fairly open to that objection. It is certain that no man in either house, no man of either party, fhvor» any scheme to rob any one of the right to vote. - That is not the purpose of this bill, oi of those back of it. What is k wanted is an honest election law. The , desire is, pot to evade new abuses, (> but to stop old ones. Frankness » compels the assertion that for many L years the Republican party in this s state has, for one reason or another, 8 seemed v to be on the side of loose - election laws. Many of the members i of that. party strongly antagonized y the Australian ballot system. This great reform we owe to the Demos qyatic party. And now there seems t to be something of the old temper. b —lndianapolis News. caueßmaesssmas 1 When the general appropriation*!!!!! a is brought up for consideration later | on in the session, some of the persons a fc the state house now.drawing coma sortable salaries will use a magnifying glass in vain to discover where they come in. It seems to be settled that a they won’t come in at all. If plans ■ now on foot can be carried out no apr propriations for salaries will be made i unless there is a separate law creating » the office and fixing the salary. It has t been the practice for several years to i slip extra salary items into the approi priation bills, thus making pleasant » and profitable jobs where none existI ed undeb any independent enactment ’ The Indianapolis Sun has become the mouthpiece of that element of the Democracy of Indiana which is la* boring under the delusion that the result of the November election was s declaration of the people in favor of a repeal of the local option law. The Sun therefore criticises the views of Samuel M. Ralston and other Democrats and Democratic newspapers that favor giving the law a trial. The , Sun and the class it represents in- , sieted before the election with great vehemence that the temperance ques- , tion was not an "issue”—that it had been settled by the special session t of the combatting the as- . sertion of the Republican press and leaders that the election of a Demo' . cratic governor and legislature meant . the triumph.of the brewery and sa-

The mayor had called in vain ■ for -the driver to stop, and he daringly swerved his auto before the frightened horse. The driver jumped I from his seat and ran.

He preferred charges and continued ’ oh his way to where the dog-catcher was having trouble with a rabid dog. ; . _o— . - A FRIEND OP TEMPERANCE- » •-» -/* **'. Mark Twain is said to be respon1 sible for the following: “I am a friend of temperance and want it i to succeed, but I don't think prohi- ; bition is practical. The Germans f prevent it. Look at them. They have just invented a method of making brandy out of saw dust. Now what chance will prohibition have when a man can take a rip saw and go out and get drunk with a' fence rail? What Ja. the good of prohibition if a man is able to make brandy out of a shingle from his roof, or if he can get delirium tremans by drinking the edges off of the kitchen chair? ——— o —— FATHER OF JAMES E. WATSON Winchester, Ind., Feb. 3.—Enos L. Watson, seventy-eight years old, father of Congressman James E. Watson, was some better todpy, although his condition is serious.
