MF i M Beware of the men whj aie always trying to defend the scoundrels who are fattening on public plunder. A dose inspection will generally reveal the fact that they are sharing in the booty.—Hebron News. hhk $ « £ “Prosperity” and labor strikes appear to go hand in hand. Open the books! Taxpayers, unite in demanding that this be done Alger has been routed out of the cabinet at last. His “resignation” takes effect Aug. 1. And now it is proposed to squeeze the ladies still more, by the organization of a $3,000,000 , corset trust. The “Chicago platform” meeting al Chicago this week was largely attended, and over 7,000 people crowded into the Auditorium Thursday night and gave W. J. Bryan a mighty welcome. By consulting Bro. Marshall’s assessment lists for the past three years we find that in 1897 his piano was worth $25, in 1898 it was worth S4O; and in 1899 it had disappeared from the assessment sheet altogether and in its place we find five dollars’ worth of firearms! How can the trusts be otherwise than illegitimate? Mothers in plenty have been found for them, but the father has succeeded in concealing his identity. A large field for inquiry is here opened. Why not proceed against them under the bastardy act and put the mothers in the sweat box?— Terre Haute Express (rep). Among the attractions at Fair Oaks, Aug. 15, it is hoped to secure the services of the Amazon of Wheatfield, who upon one occasion yanked the hirsute appendage of Bro. Marshall, who was present at a Billy Owen meeting up there. This will conduct to peace and promote harmony, albeit it had that effect when last tried at Wheatfield. • War excitement is the pest of sound politics. Upon innumerable occasions the glitter of a candidates’ epaulettes has held the public gaze to the total neglect of his bumps, which it would have been to its interest to study attentively. We want to be free from the distractions of war and the fruits of war next year in order that we may. with undisturbed minds settle some of our own affairs.—New York Times. We will venture to say that . there are but few SIO,OOO investments in Jasper county that bring in so large net returns each year, as the “official organ,” known as theßensselaer Republican. And yet, Mr, Marshall makes solemn Oath in 1897 that the whole establishment is worth but $000; in 1898 it was worth only $450: and in 1899 it had depreciated to $350! With such back-handed licks of ..prosperity as this it would not be Surprising should Bro. Marshall Htarn populist. A committee of medical experts have recently lodged a report of ■ their findings in endeavoring to locate the cause of tuberculosis, or consumption as it is commonly galled. Milk was found to be a •ource of this dread disease. .The prolific milk examined was from all kinds of cows, but the milk from Jersey | cows was found to possess more germs than any other. However, the Barnacle's customers need fear contracting this disease from the use of milk from hi» Jerseys, rs the “editor” gives each of his cows a vast amount of out - door exercise daily, with plenty of good water.
