A Printer Greatly Surprised.

“I never was bo much surprised in my life, as I was with the results of using Chamber lain'* Hain Bain ," says Henry T. Crook, pressman of the Asheville (N. C.) Gazette. **l contracted a severe case of rheumatism early last Winter by getting my feet wet. 1 tried several things for it without benefit. One day while looking over the Gazette, I noticedthat Pain Balm was positively guaranteed to cure rheumatism, so bought a bottle of it and before using two thirds of it my rheumatism had taken Its flight and I have not had a rheumatic paiu since."

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

It is to be regretted that the republicans of Jasper county will allow the court house ring, or the machine politicians at Rensselaer, to dictate the candidates for the county offices. In the ticket nominated last Monday, two candidates at least—candidates for the most important offices in the county —never ought to have been nominated. Simply because the party has a majority of several hundred in its favor should not cause it to impose upon the people such men as these. The official record of each of these men is such as should condemn them for any office in the gift of the people. The Democrat has heretofore referred to the official acts of Mr. Halleck, his connection with the Keener gravel road swindle, where the statute was violated time after time and the funds provided for building the road squandered and only a part of the road built and very poorly built at that; the “loss” of the contractor’s bond on this contract; his tax-ferret scheme; his stationery deals; his railroad election transactions; the court house yard steal; the numerous expensive law suits he has involved the county in; his attitude in the improvement about the court house square; his utter failure to successfully conduct any of the numerous business enterprises in which he has been engaged. This man—the president of the board of commissioners of the great county of Jasper—does not even keep his bank account in Indiana, but transacts his business through a bank in Chicago, issuing checks upon such bank in payment of bills here—or such of them as he pays. The reasons for this we leave for the people to guess. Such a man, we repeat, should not have again been placed on the ticket by his party, for he has no claim upon the people for support, and it is adding insult to injury in again forcing him upon them. Of the other candidate referred to we wish to present a few facts which the public should know: Mr. Nichols served six years as trustee of Barkley tp., and during the latter years of his term his accounts are said to have been in a terribly muddled condition. His report to the commissioners was sometimes not made until November or December (all the other trustees reported in August, as the law requires) and the last year of his term he NEVER made any public report at all. His accounts were alleged to be in such bad shape that he couldn’t make a report. School teachers waited nearly a year in numerous instances, after their schools were closed before they got their pay. When the Gifford railroad fraud was perpetrated upon the people of Marion and Barkley townships, “Doc.” Nichols was Gifford’s right-hand man in forcing the fraud upon the people, and his connection therewith will not soon be forgotten by the good citizens of those townships. Financially he is a wreck, and it is alleged that his candidacy for the I nomination for treasurer wasworked by B. J. Gifford and Me- ; Coy’s bank. The object of the latter institution in desiring to I have him in charge of the public i funds of Jasper county at a good salary are just as obvious as Mr. | Halleck’s reasons for doing his i banking through a bank in another state. On Sept. 5, 1901, Warren S. Goodell, the Loda, 111., banker, et al, loaned SII,OOO on Mr. Nichols’ 339 acres of land in Barkley ! tp., and were given seven morti gages for same (mortgage record I P H geß 276 to 291 of the rnortI gage records of Jasper county. I You can find them in the Recorder's office in the book and pages above given) none of these mortgages are satisfied of record. Gn Sept. 6, 1901, A. McCoy it Co’s bank was given a second mortgage on the same lands for sl2, 748.56 (mortgage record 38, page 301). This mortgage is also unsatisfied of record. Any man in Jasper county whois acquainted with the value of the lands above mentioned will tell you they are not worth more than $16,000 to $17,000. This man has never been able to manage his own business successfully and is not a proper person to be intrusted with that of the county. Both Mr. Babcock and Mr. Lit inborn are financially responsible and are men whom the people could trust to handle the hundreds of thousands of dollars that pass through the treasurer’s office of Jasper county in a careful and business like manner, but they were not owing the bullwheel of the Jasper county republican machine, and • they were turned down, it is alleged at the machine’s behest. Concerning the other candidates we have nothing to say except that some of them are more or

leas dominated by the machine. We believe that the democrats at their convention next month will place a ticket in the field that is free from all domination, a ticket that is clean and pure from top to bottom and from bottom to top—a ticket that every honest, intelligent man who has the best interests of the county at heart can most loyally support. The earnings of the tobacco trust last year were nearly $7,000,000. Some people don’t seem to know when they have enough. They “will have to be showed.” If the people realized what they paid in taxes they would exercise a far closer supervison of the expenditures. It will be noticed that the republicans made all their remarks on the subject of the “promotion of commerce” and sedulously avoided the word “subsidy.” There is no doubt that the Crumpacker disfranchisement resolution will inevitably arouse a bitter feeling, and should be condemned for that reason alone, if for no other. The most patriotic duty a man owes to his party is to rebuke it when it places bad men on its ticket. By doing this he forces his party to put none but good, clean, honorable men for office. Why would it not be a good idea to stop the wasteful war in the Philippines and turn the money into the more peaceful and profitable channels of irrigation and other improvements at home? Mr. Otey, of Virginia, wants the government to appropriate a large sum for good roads in this country and asks for only one fourth as much as has already been expended in the Philippines. He believes that other things, like charity, should begin home. The republicans will hold their joint-representative convention at Hammond next Wednesday. Jesse E. Wilson of this city, is being pushed by Jasper county for the nomination. Lake has 27 votes and Jasper 10. If the former county is as piggish as their Jasper county brethren it will gobble in the nomination. The old afforism, that “it is an ill wind that blows nobody good,’’ is still true, and while one of the defeated candidates for county treasurer is still in possession of two offices, he with the rest of the male members of the family will be eligible to sit on the election board, and meals for the board is also within his grasp. This ought to heal and hair over many sores.

Of the nineteen leading manufacting industries of Indiana, as shown by the census bulletins, carriages and wagons rank first; iron and steel, second: foundry and machine shop products, third; glass, fourth; flouring and grist mill products, fifth; lumber and timber products, sixth; slaughtering, seventh; agricultural implements, eighth; and liquors, ninth. Furniture, cars and general shop repairs, clay products such as brick and tile, etc., clothing, printing and publishing, cotton goods, hosiery and knit goods and woolen goods must each take a back seat for whiskey and beer.
