And the next day it snowed. And there were’giants in Goodland town. We would suggest that Bro. Marshall have the whole lot pulled for criminal|libel. Poor old Jasper! She had the Judge and the ringsters wanted the prosecutor, representative and senator, and she was given a stone. Mr. Bryan has not made many speeches of late. There is really no .reason why he should. The enemy is fighting his cause for him. There seems to be a misunderstanding somewhere. We were under tiie impression that it was the duty of the Supreme Court and not of the Senate to determine the extent of the Constiturion.

Lake, Newton and White counties have each sat down upon Rensselaer’s republican political ring, and it remains for the taxpayers of Jasper county to administer the final kick at the polls in November. Speaker Reed says that the attempt to make three quarter citizens out of Porto Ricans is certainly interesting. But then, Mr. Reed is only a traitor, He has even made remarks about buying 10.000,000 yellow bellies at §2 a head. The fight between the English and Boers will not be a patchen to the county seat “fout,” which will be “fit” on Newton county soil this summer. General St. Patrick Keefe and Col. Marquis De Strohm will command the forces about “Spion Kop,” as they have in all previous ware of the kind.—Morocco Courier. *

Hanna says to Indiana republicans: “Stop your kicking and take your medicine.** The Boer war is a little behind the Philippine one in the matter of times that it has been crashed, but it will catch up before long.

Messrs. Carnegie and Frick have been made up, in a business way, but their differences were of long enough duration to startle the people with inside information. The Loud bill has been defeated. Now let Mr. Loud devise some plan to reform railway rates for carrying the mails and he will be surprised to find how enthusiastically it is received. Poor Beveridge. He has experienced the “Mailed Fist” of Mr. Hanna and the other leaders. It was only what might have been expected. He is a bright boy, but he is too young to monkey with the old fellows as he has been doing.

There are republican editors not a thousand miles from this ground who are taking turnips and sowbelly on subscription and yelling frantically in their editorial columns that President McKinley has brought the country to a state of unexampled prosperity. —Ex. All the district offices have gone glimmering, and Rensselaer got only four of the eight county offices!' But the state nominations have not yet been made and $ Hanna is still looking about for a running mate for Willidm I. Perhaps there is yet a chance for some Rensselaer patriot.

Representative Caldwell, of 111., believes that Senator Cullom will be succeeded by a democrat. He said: “I think I have a right to be sanguine in my hopes that we shall elect a democrat to the U. S. Senate. The present law districting the state makes it possible for us to carry the legislature, although the republicans have a majority in the state somewhere between 25,000 and 45,000.” p The name of Judge Timothy E. Howard is being mentioned in connection with that of B. F. Shively for the democratic gubernatorial nomination. Many are of the opinion that Mr. Shively should have a clear track, inasmuch as he was the “sacrifice” last campaign. Judge Howard is one of the most able jurists in the state and stands very high in hb party- He has served on the supreme bench and is a most estimiable gentleman.

One result of the investigation, now being made by the House Military Committee of the use of Federal troops in Idaho, is the resolution offered in the House by Representative Lentz, of Ohio, and in the Senate by Senator Allen, of Nebr., calling for the withdrawal of Federal troops from the Coeur d’Alene district in Idaho; the revocation of the labor permit system, and restoration of the right of habeas corpus. The resolution declares that the further use of U. S. troops in aiding and assisting the maintenance of martial law is improper, unnecessary and unlawful.

The Rensselaer republican highbinderrs claim that they were robbed, spat upon, trampled in the dust and cruelly humbled at the senatorial convention; that while the Jasper candidate had a majority of the delegates, the “other fellow” was dishonestly counted in. What is the matter with our ringsters, anyway ? Beaten out of the prosecuting attorney, robbed by the Lake county ring of the representative, and now allow the White and Newton county republicans to steal the senator! Can it be that the Board of Strategy has been so busily engaged in instituting libel and tax sui(s against the editor of The Democrat that it has neglected to put itself in proper training for the regular larceny act?

Senator Cockrell, speaking for the democratic Senators, just before the Senate passed the bill authorizing the appointment of a a Commission to go to China and Japan and make a report on Commercial conditions in those countries, said: “The republican party is in absolute control, and We on this side of the Chamber are powerless to prevent the enactment of any legislation coming from the republican party and deemed necessary by it. I will not antagonize this bill, although I do not agree with it in principal. I want it understood now and un-derstood-distinctly, that hereafter, absolute responsibility must rest upon the republican party for the passage of all resolutions and

After ten year’s service in the House, Representative Cox, of Tenn., has announced that he will not be a candidate for re-election. When asked why, he answered in three words—“ Tired of it.” He will be missed by the democrats of the next House, as he has won a place as an able champion of democratic principles.

. Mr. Foss, of Illinois, acting chairman of the House Committee on Naval Affairs, has prepared a naval appropriation bill which is 118,000,000 in excess of any ever prepared before. Mr. Boutelle of Maine had better come back and take charge of his committee once more. He may have been delirious, but he was never so delirious as that The House Naval Affairs Committee has reported in favor of paying 1545 a ton for armor plate, end the big firms are willing to furnish it at that rate. Last year, when prices generally were much lower, the firms asked exactly the same rate. The question is now up to them. Did they ask too much last year or too little this year? One or the other must be the case. Bishop Potter has returned from the Philippines and states that a study of conditions there has convinced him that expansion is all right. But it turns out that the Bishop was in the Philippsnes for only a week. He reminds one of a newspaper man who ’went to Honolulu some years ago to study the new Dole government there, and wrote ana mailed a three column letter to his paper before he landed from the steamer, declaring that the United States was totally ignorant of the true situation in the islands.

How do our prosperity shouters reconcile the following Associated Press dispatch with their continual cry that there are no idle men in the country to-day and that many business enterprises are suffering because employers can secure no laborers? NEW YORK, March 26.—Thousands of unemployed men have flocked to New York in anticipation of securing work on the underground rapid transit tunnel, and the result is that the city is more crowded than ever with laboring men looking for work. Hundreds of men seeking employment gathered in the City Hall Park as early as 6 o’clock this morning, and had increased to such an extent at 9 o’clock that at that hour pedestrians could not pass through the park. It will be months before many men will be at work on the tunnel, and as there are more men out of employment at the present time in New York than the tunnel contractors can employ, the constantly increasing number of newcomers will have little chance of success in securing steady employment.

Senator Tillman utilized his pitchfork, to toss a few aggravating questions to the almost distracted republican Senators, which furnished considerable amusement to the occupants of the galleries and to the democratic Senators. Among the questions, which no republican seriously attempted to answer, were the following: “Has the President changed his mind or not? Is the President for free trade with Porto Rico today, or is he not? Is he leading his party or has he surrendered to the dictates of special interest, following the triumphal car like a prisoner of war? Will some gentleman please tell me whether the President is for free trade with Porto Rico, or is he not?” After waiting in vain for a reply to his questions, Mr. Tillman said with a sardonic laugh: “A dumbness falls upon us all.” He then vividly sketched the present troubles of the republican party, and predicted that the people would sweep it from power, for not recognizing that the flag, the Constitution and liberty must travel together, and charged the republican party with indirection, hypocrisy, and dirty work. Senator Spooner sought to detract attention from Senator Tillman’s plain talk about Porto Rico by shifting the debate to the suppression of the negro vote in South Carolina, but Mr. Tillman met him at once by declaring that he had no apologies to make for the action of the white people of South Carolina, adding: “When you could get nothing more from us by law, you turned a horde of negroes and carpet baggers loose upon upon us to steal everything we had left. We are here to stay, and we demand our rights. We are not to be trampled on and hammered and patronized ' any longer. I say that as a South Carolinian, I am the equal of any Senator on this floor/ I propose to have my say here no matter whose feelings are hurt?’

House of Represents* has decided to th a South African Republic. In view of thb fact, Secretary Hay refuses to discuss the latest charge brought agaist the Administration both by Herr Wessels in London and by Mr. Macrum in thp United States, who assert positively that a peace conference was held at Bloemfontein, before the begining of the war, at which the Unitea States representatives were present as well as representatives of President Kruger and Steyn. At the direct request of these last, Con-sul-General Stowe cabled to the State Department, begging it, in the name of the two presidents, to “intercede” with Great Britain to prevent her making war against them, and practically offering to agree to any terms that President McKinley might think just. Remember, thb was before the war began, when a word from the President might have prevented the frightful bloodshed that has occurred. But McKinley feared too much to offend hb ally and contemptuously ignored the request of the two presidents, who did not give up hope of hb mediation until 48 hours before the war began.

Abuse of Military Power.

The investigation by the House Military Affairs Committee of the Coeur d’Alene miners’ strike in Idaho has adduced much evidence tending to show a gross abuse of power by the military while the dbtrict was under martial law. Instead of the troops being there to maintain peace and order, they seem to have been there virtually in the interest of the mine-owners. Arbitrary arrests were made, men were kept in the “bull-pen” for months who were innocent/ but could get no trial. Warrants were signed in blank by the Governor’s agent, who was a friend of the mining company. These were filled in at the discretion 'of the deputy sheriffs, who used this sweeping power at their own sweet wills. All they had to do was to insert a name in the warrants, which already charged with violation of the proclamation and military regulations of the Governor. Then the man named would be captured by the troops and kept in the “bull-pen” without trial until the military commander saw fit to relieve him. The story of thb strike and the military connection <rf the Government thereto, as told by sworn witnesses, forms a pretty dark chapter of militarism for a republican government. Such experiences will not tend to enamor American citzens with military rule abroad; for there the opportunity for and temptation to abuse arbitrary power would be still greater.—lndianapolis Press.

A Fiendish Attack.

An attack was lately made on C. F. Collier of Cherokee, lowa, that nearly proved fatal. It ca me through his kidneys. His back got so lame he could not stoop without great pain, nor sit in a chair except propped by cushions. No remedy helped him until he tried Electric Bitters which effected such a wonderfull change that he writes he feels like a naw man. This marvelous medicine cures backache and kidney trouble, purifies the blood and builds up your health. Only 50c at Hunt Bros. Drug Store.

It is very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting of the doctor. An Albany (N. Y.) dairyman call-, ed at a drug store there for a doctor to come and see'his sick child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, he left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, which he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours he returned, saying the doctor nee I Dot come, as the child was much better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz, says the family has since recommended Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friends until he has a constant demand for it from that part of the country.
