The Democratic voters of Barkley Township, Jasper County, Indiana, are requested to meet at Cosy Palace school house on SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, at 2 p. m„ for the purpose of nominating a township ticket to be voted for at the November election. John Kimble, Chm. East I’re, Hokatio Ropp, Chm. west Pre. Republicans of the PulaskiStarkt* circuit have nominated John C. Nye of Wiiiamac* for judge. Benton Review: It was too bad the Goodlaud Herald did not support Hanley for judge in time to pet some of the Rensselaer "Htreot Fair advertising. Moving from one township to another after Sept, 4th disqualifies a voter from casting n vote at the November election, find likewise moving from one voting precinct to another after, Oct. 4. Remember this. The law requires 60 days residence in the township and 30 days in the precinct.

The editor of the Fowler Republican is deputy prosecuting attorney for Benton county, and according to the other papers there, is always “about” at the fairs, carnivals, etc., in his bailiwick, and “hop ale” and gambling is run right under his nose, but be “don’t see it.” J. P. Carr, of the Fowler Leader, the leading republican paper of Benton county, calls editor Barce “Happy Hooligan,” and thus refers to “Happy’s” recent editorial advising the republican papers of Newton county to support the judicial “nominees:” “The sage advice ot Happy Hooligan to Brother Kitt, who was a Democrat through the most of the years of his life, to support the whole Republican ticket and his efforts to get one of the candidates at home off of the ticket, go hand and hand together. The sage advice of Happy an incident in the Ben Davidson campaign. Happy was in Nick Dupies’ saloon remarking in a loud voice that Ben ( was a blank, blank bitch. "What," says the proprietor, "you call Ben Davidson that? I call him a gentleman. He comes in my store, he drinks my whisky and walks off like a man. You come in my place, you drink my whisky, you get drunk, you puke on my floor and don’t pay a d—d cent, ’ Candidates for office are sometimes defeated by the efforts of their friends. The county council over in Newton county, as a compromise, voted an appropriation of $40,875 fora new court house at Goodland, the amount of the lowest bid filed, which did not include appropriation for furniture or improvment to grounds. This appropriation was voted for by four members —Hershman of Iroquois tp., Dickinson of Grant, Tyler of Lake and Roush of =-• tp. The three negative votes were by Murphy of Morocco, Merriam of and Chancellor oY Jefferson (Kentland.) The commissioners rejected all bids because the appropriation was not made by a threefourths vote, it is said. Sec. 20 of the County Council act says: "By a three-fourths vote of the council and not otherwise, an appropriation may be made for an item not Contained in any estimate, or for a greater amount than that named in any item of an estimate." The amount asked for by the commissioners was $50,000, and it came up at the regular annual meeting, but was not included IN THE REGULAR ESTIMATES. The commissioners say that they asked for no appropriation with the regular estimates for the reason that Mr. Sellers, Goodland’s attorney, had told them it was unnecessary. Later, other advice and their own interpretation of the law convinced them that the council must first make the appropriation, which is no doubt correct. In its report of the teachers’ institute at Monticello last week, the White County Democrat says: Wednesday afternoon Cnpt. Guthrie favored the Institute with one of his interesting talks along educational lines; and as the Captain was County Superintendent of Schools for a number of years the subject is a familiar one to him. In the course of his address he took occasion to quote from a formor address to the teachers, delivered by him in 1884, some sentiments which are worthy of reproduction, being as pertinent today ns they were when first delivered 18 years ago. In that address he said: "The American citizen of to-day is a product, a growth, a development.” "The real American of to-day loves tlrs country in all its parts: its Declaration, its Constitution, its laws and its society.” "He believes in the schools, the churches and all the great civilizing and moralizing institutions of our land.” "Ho believes that ballots are more potent than bullets.” "He is opposed to the improper use of wealth, to fraud, to corruption and malfoasance in office.” "Ho is opposed to caste, and rings, and syndicates, and trusts which use their power to opppress the masses.” "lie believes in honesty, in industry and in intelligence, and in the American school house flying | the American flag.” "f j the schools we must look : for the safety of American instii tut ions.” "While the home life must be ' American the school life must also ! be American.” “To the tofleheri this work has j boon assigned. Your task and ' work are great and your responsij bilitv greater.” "You are building the character i of the future American citizen.”

Doctor* Could Not Help Her. "I had kidney trouble for years," writes Mr*. Raymond Conner of Shelton, Wash,, "and the doctor* could not help me. I tried Foley’* Kidney Cure, and the very first dose gave me relief and I*m nowtured, I canuot say too much for Foley's Kidney Cure." Sold by A. F. Long.

The Democifpt has frequently mentioned the fact, that to seoure the best results from the county council law, non-partisan councils should be elected. With the first council in this county, which was appointed as required by law and was composed of both republicans and democrats, the county tax levy was reduced nearly one-half in two years. Then the full republican board came in and the levy was raised at once nearly 20 cents on the hundred dollars. No more improvements have! been made nor no better service rendered the people in any way under the 50J cent levy than under the J4J cent levy. How, therefore, can an intelligent people, interested, as we believe most of them are in having the public business conducted in the best and most economical manner, favor a system that costs them a great many extra thousand dollars each year and for which they receive no benefits whatever? Remember that history demonstrates that the best and most economically conducted local goverments is found where the political parties are nearly equal in strength, then each party’s public officers must be on their good behavior all the time or the opposition will oust them. And it should be so.

THE COMMON COUNCIL.

The city council met in regular session Monday evening with the new mayor, J. H. 8. Ellis, presiding, and the new city clerk, Charles Morlan, taking the minutes. The city clerk was instructed to ask for bids for painting the creamery bridgd. C. H.

It was signed by Granville Moody and James T. Randle. Lyda M. Potts and others petitioned for a sidewalk on the north side of Elm Street. Referred to sidewalk committee. S. B. Jenkins asked that certain streets in Sunnyside addition be drained and graded. Referred to street committee. The city treasurer’s report for the month of August shows balances on hand as follows: Corporation fund, $1075.75; road, $110.98; water, SB2O 69; electric light, $857.12. The bond of Mayor Ellis in the sum of $3,000, signed by T. J. McCoy and John Eger, was accepted. F. M. Abbott city marshal, presented a bond $5,000 signed by L. Strong, John Bger, Geo. W. Goff and A.

An ordinance was passed providing for the construction of the Makemself sewer, all the members voting in favor of the improvement. The ordinance provides for a 36 inch vitrified pipe sewer from the river to the railroad to follow the present channel of the ditch, except at Dr. Washburn’s property, where it will leave the present channel and continue straight to the river, thus shortening the route considerably. The size of the pipe from where it first strikes the railroad is to be determined by the commissioners who will be appointed by the circuit court. The following claims were allowed: ROAD FUND.
