nominations for State year ahead, yet

|T ALTHOUGH office^ are almost a jrV.. there «e some candidates actively in the fielcL' Too actively we think. It howfe*', ever straws activity, earnestness and zeal fj&< which Is always an excellent thing in a 1 candKfcte. The REPUBLICAN however belong to that class of papers which believeS that too much fighting should not be done so far ahead of time, as bitter feelings are liable to be stirred up. Vot7, ers can not very intelligently take sides ,C and pfck out the best candidate for the parfcyy until near convention time when all th^ candidates have announoed thems^l- selvei We think any candidate who is §1- in the field this early soliciting votes, ,* will hart both himself and the party.

Let tfiq friends of any candidate for Governor or any other office who is trying thuSeiKlyto generally and systematically fipom himseif and secure promises of suppofefc, caution said candidate, that his boonf^like buds that put forth too early iu th6. spring, is likely to get nipped by a chilly reception later on.

IN speaking of the business outlook the big- Aastern papers and metropolitan papexg in the West are saying that the prospfecte are bright. The St. Loais Globe-Democrat says:

The most significant among recent development* in tho business situation is the growth in the movement of mopey fcfc* financial MfetMltO the intedOT.

ed demands of the industries and of the distribution agencies in the fall trade. Much money, too, will now be needed in "moving the crops." The crops being larger in the aggragate this year than ever before, although prices, of course^ alii-e comparatively low, the amount of currency required to transfer them from the farmers' hands to the chief distributing centers ^ill be great. Happily the 'banks are well provided to meet all needs in this direction, and rates on that ac count are not likely to be forced above the average level of the past eight or ten months.

The*e has been an excellsnt cotton crop, a fair yield of wheat and an unprecedented yield of corn. These crops are raised in the South, the Central, Northern and Western States, and have been for lo these many years, in addition to all these, the cattle, the horses, the sheep, the hogs and in fact, about all farm products and stock are produced in the above mentioned States, and yet these producers year after year have to go the the money centers to secure currency to move their products. Where are these money centers?—all—all in New York, Pennsylvania and New England. In addition to being the greatest agricultural and stock section of the country, the Central, Southern and Western States are the richest in mines and lumber, and yet the owners go East to the money centers to secure money upon which to operate. It is hard for us to understand how it is that the sections of this country that do all the producing are compelled to go to bleak and sterile New England for money. Is there no profit in raising corn, wheat, cotton, tobacco, hay, hogs, cattle, horses, in lumber, in mining gold, silver, [coal, and salt? or does some one besides the worker or producer get the profit? We think the latter proposition is the correct one. The Eastern money centers have been aided in reaping all the profits by the extravagant borrowing habit of the people of the West, who Were willing to give any rate of interest and a big bonus for making the loan, just so .they could secure the money. After the Eastern people secured their mortgages, bonds and stocks, all drawing interest, they were instrumental in sec tiring legislation which has forced down the price of the products of labor, the value of stock and farm laads, but increased the value of all their money and its equivalent— the notes, bonds, mortgages, stocks, etc. The people of the West have the remedy within themselves. Simply change their style of doing business, follow the example of the people who have succeeded along the other lines where you have failed. It will take some self denial, and may possibly be inconvenient, but we of the West have all the natural advantages -why not avail ourselves of them and prosper more abundantly?

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed foreVer nine cases out of ten ave caused by catarrh which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hatl's Catarrh Core. Send for circulars, free, i'.iW
