••A FIRM ADHRRENCK TO CORRECT PRINCIPLES ’

How would it do to experiment on retiring Sherman, instead of retiring the Sherman notes? The Political Hermaphrodite last week contained the following: In the event of the democrats electing a majority in the s ate legislature this fall, it is stated that either ex-Governor Mathews or John W. Kern will be selected for United States senator, instead of Hon. David Turpie. The bitter, tt is said, while not yet a very aged man, shows signs of a general breaking down, and his partv will not take the chances of losing i senator before his .erm would expire, which might occur should Mr. Tur pie’s failing health result seriously soon after his election and a new man be elected to fill out his unexpired term.—Rem - .ngton Press. We have known Senator Turpie foi foity years, met him recently, and have never known him to look more rugged or in better health than at our last maatjng. No senator is more prompt and punctual in the performance of his duties. The sentiments expressed by the “independent” sheet we have heard occasionally from, .well, they now call themselves ‘‘progressive democrats.” but all along have been recognized as well-known popu» lists, employing every means, fair and foul, to break down the democracy. They seem to be particularly hostile to old-time democrats but we have no idea that Gov. Matthews or Mr. Kern will sanction their uncalled for an l obtrusive methods.

The Delphi Times thus refers to the great importance attachinglhe selection 01. chairman, sesretnry and treasurer of the Democratic County Committee: These positions ue of such vital importance that all democrats are interested in their spleotion and the leading demo crate ebon 1 d come * * to participate in advising the committee as to its choice. The position of chairman is one of eno roue duties and great labor. It is a post tion which self-seekers should not be chosen to, bnt a place which should seek the man. The ’limes believes that an old line fighting democrat should bu chosen. The Times is right. Th . incumbent should possess the neC3ssary qualifications foi the per , fcrmance of the duties imposed upon him; and it should ne known, too, that he has never wavered in his fealtz and devotion to the democratic party. Further, be ho’d be under tie control of no faction or clique, employ his best efc forts to insure harmony and victory

Some of the shop manufnetprrers who are, suffering from th a Dingley law tax on hides have re. sorted to thp project of sending out in each pail of shoes shipped a circular letter urging a petition to congress for tjie repeal pf thp tas. A copy of the petition is enclosed also, and it recites that in the opinion of the petitioners “cur catfe with their them will be bought by the great packing corpoi’atiops, at such prices as they may fix. thus reducing values to the lowest point, and the entue benefit c* the duty will go to such corporations after they have taken off tpe bid ?s from our cattl p Qur most gr evous wrong is the increased price of shoes for the farmer

mechanic and workingman, which follows the enactment of thia tariti, increasing the cost of leather.” All this is verv true, but it ignores the reason for vhich th.i duty wasimposed, which was that “the great packing corporations” will get more for the bides on account of the duty imposed. In the face of this beneficent result it is e tirely in: .aterial to the majority in cong’. swhether the price ot shoos is if >ased or not. Corporations <io not <vear shoes.

“PUBLIC MAY GO TO THE DEVIL.’’ Chairman Boutelle of the house naval committee must have failed to read ths life and adventures of the man who said: “The public be damned.” Otherwise he wo’d have refrai - ed from such a weak paraphrase of that individual’s vigorous expansion as “The public may gj to the dcvii. ’ li will be observed that Boutelle simply grants the public the privilege of going to the devil, wnile Vanderbilt was imperative in h s condemnation But chairman Boutelle must have been eating some of Ctosar’a meat, for he has grown so great that he assumes a power beyond the questioning of the pul lie. “What right,” shouts Boutelle, “has the public got to ask me what 1 favor for the navy? If the ontir 65.000,000 of the population of the United States were here I wo’d tell them what 1 tell you- that they have no right to interfere ith uor to question my right to legislate here ’’

This is what the great and all powerful member of the house of representatives from the great and all p warful state of aine said to a newspaper correspondent whft asked him why be did not submit to his committee the Utter from Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt asking for an increase in the number of sailors. Furthermore, Boutelle says bun tocratically; “This is n very small matter, not worthy of notice.’’— Very well, if its such a small matter is it worth commending 65,000,000 Americans to the tende? mercies of the devil? Congressman Boutelle should belay his jaw tacklp. take a double reef in his conversational main sail, clap a stopper on his gab, up with his helm and scud for safety. When a little representative from a little state gets a little excited he should exercise a little caution or he will get into a good ieal of trouble. The public will not accent his permission to “go to the devil,” but the first thing Boutelle knows the public will scuttls his political scow and send him to Davy Jones’ locker.. .Chicago Dispatch.

Try Kennel Brothers’ Vienna Bread. None better. A Washingto j special thus alludes to the republican member from this district: “Representative Crumpacker of Indiana has made himself a sub ject of ridicule and amusement to all members of the house of representatives. He has introduced a bill providing that no'state shall have an educational qualification to vote if 25 per cent of the popu lation at the previous census are illiterate. Any sensible person should know that the larger the illiterate vote the greater the dan ger in politics, but this remarks ble statesman thinks that the lar ger the illiterat= vote the more power it should be give... In oih| er words, this narrow pefttisan thinks it is right to deprive a few illiterates in Massachusetts of vot ing and yet to enfranchise the vast illiterate p pulation of the south. “It Is needless to say that a rep resentative so partisan and one sided as Judge Crumpscker is thoroughly unsuited to a ibody as broad-minded as the house of re* presentatives. His narrowed par* tisanship in contested election cases: find other matters has destroyed all chances for his future usefulness His conduct is in direct co hast to that of Represents ives Steele and Johnson who, i» stead of spending their t me in little, mean, partisan politics, devote it to great national questions.”

BRIGHT’S DISEASE Is the most dangerous of all human ailments because its approach is unob* sorvable. Its symptoms are common to other diseases, viz., Severe Headache, Backache, Dizziness, Sleeplessness, Blurred Vision, Dyspepsia, etc. Once let it ret a firm hold on the system and it is difficult to dislodge. It is caused Kinability of the kidneys to filter the ea from the blood.

HOW TO FIND OUT. Fili a Dottie or common glass with urine and let i. utand twenty four hours; a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition 01 s he kidneys. Whtn urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent de•ire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of ordei.

WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder .’and every part of the urinery passages, if corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effect following use of liquor wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being oom* pel nd to get up many times during the mght to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need r medieme you should have the best.
