AT LAIIOR. JOHN SHKIHER of Walker. OSCAR HAUTKR. of Marion. GUTHRIE MORRIS, of Carpenter. Election one week from Tuesday. A vote for the democratic county ticket is a vote for honest and economical local government. Do you want it?. The State ballot this year will contain six tickets—Democrat, Republican, Prohibition, Peoples, Socialist and Socialist Labor. If any of the out township republicans want a county or district office they should move to Rensselaer and get in with the ring. Twelve thousand dollars in salaries to republican county and district officers living in Rensselaer; $3,145 to all the rest of the county!

The republican ring’s howl about Newton county’s wanting to hog all the offices is indeed amusing. But once in 42 years has she had the judge! yW« wonder if "Honest Abe” will renew, for electioneering purposes, that promise of two years ago, to have an investigation of the county offices? The Rensselaer ring politicians are jubilant over the alleged “ratification” of the stolen nomination of Hanley for .Judge by a few politicians of Newton county who met at Morocco Inst Saturday. We always supposed ratifications were by the people. Wo want to hear from tho people over there. An exchange well says: "Every man should take both interest and part in politics. It is a duty he owes to his city, to his Stato and to his country. Tho bad men should not be permitted to run things according to their own sweet will, and the good ones content themselves with talking about the evils of politics.”

The non-partisan county council reduced the Jasper county tax levy to 34J cents on the hundred dollars; the all republican council raised it to 50£. Which rate do you prefer, Mr. Taxpayer? The republicans have all their spell-binder politicians out over the county, including “Honest Abe” and Charlie Blue. Don’t be misled by anything the politicians may say. Remember it is a personal matter with them and that they are in politics for what they can get out of it. Use your own judgement and vote as your conscience dictates, for the best men, those whom you feel will best serve the interests of all the people.

Judge James T. Saunderson, of Fowler, was in Monticello a few hours last week. Judge Saunderson is a candidate for appellate Judge. His opponent is Judge U. Z. Wiley, the man who refused some time ago to accompany a gentleman and move bis admission to practice at the bar because the man wore “overalls.” The "overalls” brigade should blackball Judge Wiley at the ballot box. If a Democratic Judge should exhibit such asinine qualities he would be bounced from his position and driven out of the party,—White County Democrat. Undor the present management of affairs, Jasper county pays exorbitant prices for her bridges. We wish to make a little comparison which is worthy the consideration of every taxpayer: At the October term of commissioners court, Newton county let the contract for a 34 foot span steel bridge, 14 foot roadway, to be erected just east of Goodland, to the Attica Bridge Co., for S2BO complete. At the same term in this county, our commissioners let the contract for al2 foot steel bridge in Jordan tp., to the Attica Bridge Co., for $458. If you want this thing to continue, vote for a retention of the republican candidates in the county commissioners’ office.

The Democrat would respectfully ask the voters of all parties to look about them and see who it is that is doing the shouting for Mr. Hanley for judge. Then look around and see who the people are in his own party who are opposing him, and the grounds for their opposition, part of which is found in the preceding sentence. The eulogy published in the Rensselaer Republican over the name of W. H. Parkison, who has the temerity to say that Hanley is a far better lawyer than Darroch, should be taken with a large grain of allowance for personal interestedness. Mr. Parkison is deputy prosecutor, and his long experience in lawsuits with Mr. Hanley cannot date back more than three years, when he (Parkison) was admitted to the bar, and since that time has had possibly three suits in the circuit court.

On the other hand, among the attorneys at the Jasper county bar (and most of them are republicans) more than one-half the number are opposing Mr. Hanley, some of them openly, and every one of them has had more years of experience than Mr. Parkison, some of them 15 to 30 years more. One of these, Frank Foltz, of the firm of Foltz, Spitler &Kurrie, of which Mr. Foltz is the principal attorney and who has been engaged in every case of consequence in this county for-years, and also many in Newton county, says that outside of Judge Thompson (whose legal knowledge is unquestioned by men of all parties) Judge Darroch is the most able and best posted lawyer in this circuit. He has had dozens of cases in which Judge Darroch wns on the opposing side and is therefore compe. tent to judge the qualifications of the two men who are nominees for this position. Mr. Foltz has handled hundreds of cases in the courts of this county, Newton and White, while Mr. Parkison, the gentleman who eulogizes Mr. Hanley, has, in his brief experience. hnd possibly three civil cases fa most liberal allowance is made here) in this county, and not one outside the county. Mr. Foltz and that class of experienced attorneys are opposing Mr. Hanley because they know him to bo incompetent for the jKisition he seeks. They do not consider the judgeship a purely political office, in which experience and competency cuts no figure, and, as the matter has resolved itself into a more matter of fitness between Mr, Hanley and Mr. Darroch, they will support the latter with their votes. The better and more thoughtful class of voters of both counties will do likewise.

COAL AND PEACE.

The horny hands of labor and the dapper hand of wealth Are clasped, thus symbolizing a toast of luck and health. And. Oh! our joy is mighty. Ita nature nothing mars. For soon the big coal wagons willl block the way of cars, And soon the chunks will rattle into the empty bin, s> And all of us will chuckle, and feel the heat, j and grin. * No more the conferences will all areand be held: No more by fierce denials will every page be swelled: No more w|U some proud person assume himself a king Because he filled his cellar with anthracite last spring. Oh, what a peaceful blessingl And what a gladsome day! We hear the engines tooting, and coal is on the way! And isn’t this consoling to know this stops the man W T ho pestered us so sorely with his impressive plan ' V To end the labor trouble? He won a lot of fame, And caused a lot of swearing—and legion was his name. Ah, yes, it Is a blessing! But he is with us now. And we must choke his efforts at this: “1 told them how!” No more will the inventors be telling us the way To make a conflagration by burning straw and hay; No more we’ll be entreated to pour coal oil on bricks; Or told to stuff the furnace with odds and ends and sticks. No more of all this wisdom—at mud and stone we hoot. We’re tired of burning money, and hail the substitute! —Baltimore American. A bond does not always make the people safe in a public official. Ia proof of this we wish to call the attention of our readers to the shortage of Treasurer Kirtley of Benton county, five or six years ago, and the $20,000 shortage of Treasurer Lightcap of Starke county, a year or two later. In both cases the counties were put to considerable trouble and expense in the matter. There was long delay in the bondsmen settling either of the shortages and the last report, we had there was still about $2,000 unpaid in each case. It is far better to put trustworthy men in important offices than to depend too much on the bond of an unsafe official.

Regarding the refusal of the clerk of the Newton circuit court to recognize the nominee of the republican chairman of Newton county on the board of election commissioners, mention of which was made in The Democrat last week, we desire to amend the statement made at that time wherein we said that the clerk was probably not legally bound to recognize such appointment, but that it was customary to do soWe have since learned that the chairman notified the clerk in WRITING, THIRTY-THREE DAI'S before the election would take place, of his nominee on the board. As to the duty of the clerk to appoint the person selected by the county chairman, we desire to quote from Sec. 44 of the election law:

The Governor of the State, and two qualified electors by him appointed, one from each of the two political parties that cast the largest number of votes in the State at the last preceding general election, shall constitute a State Board of Election Commissioners. Such appointments shall be made at least thirty days prior to that time, the CHAIBMAN OF TH* STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF EITHKH OF SUCH PARTIES SHALL NOMINATE In writing a member of his own party for such appointment, the Governor of the State SHALL APPOINT SUCH NOMINEE. Now, then, Sec. 45, regulating the appointment of county boards of election commissioners is the same except that the clerk acta in the same capacity as does the governor in the appointment of the state board. It says: Said appointments shall be made in all respects as uppolutments to the State Hoard of Eleetion Commissioners are required to be made by the Governor of the State, except THAT THE FKIVILEO* OF NOMINATION SHALL HELONO TO THE CHAIUMAN OF THE COUNTY CENTRAL COMMITTEES OF THE TWO PARTIES AFORSAID. It will thus be seen that Clerk Drake’s refusal to appoint the person selected by Mr. Little wns a high-handed outrage and is unprecedented in the history of the Australian ballot law working in this state. Of course, the Rensselaer gang of bull-dozers who disfranchised a goodly number of the members of their own party in Jasper couuty, aud all of their party in Newton, in their management of the judicial “convention,” will pat Druke on the back for his action in this matter. With this gang of ringsters and politicians law nor justice cuts no figure. As one of them openly stated at a little meeting had to talk over the judicial situation, when Newton county wns begging for justice, with them it is “anything to win” in politics.

Blind During Attacks Of Heart Failure. Would Appear To Be Dead. Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure R-elieved and Cured. “I have no hesitation in saying that Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure is all that one can wish it to be. I was troubled with heart disease for fifteen years. 1 have tried many different remedies but until I tried Dr. Mikt’ Heart Cure I could find no relief. I was subject to headaches and had tried your Pain Pills and they were so effective 1 thought your Heart Cure might help me. 1 would have attack* at times so severe that I would be stone blind for the time being. During these spells I would be to all appearances dead. I took the medicine strictly as directed and I can truthfully say that I am completely cured. I advise all that are troubled with heart disease to take Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure at once. I write this and give my name to my fellow sufferers.”—S. E. Purdy, Atkinson, Nebraska. “I first felt the effects of a weak heart in the fall of 1896. I saw an advertisement in the Sioux City paper in which a man stated his symptoms which seemed to me to indicate a trouble similar to mine. I had a soreness in the chest at times, and in my shoulder, an oppressive choking sensation in my throat ana suffered from weak and hungry spells. 1 was truly frightened at my condition and procured six bottles of Dr. Miles' Heart Cure. Since taking my first bottle 1 have never been bothered by any of the old disagreeable symptoms and now am well and consider my cure permanent.''—Lewis Anderson, Kuhn, S. D.
