Wo see by the Fowler papors that tax-ferret Workman is trying to get a job of re-assessing the tax-pnyers of Benton county. There’s good money in it—for Workmnn—if the people scare easily. The Democrat wants to see Messrs. Murray and Gwin disgorge the hundreds of dollars allowed them by “Honest Abe” for services ns ex-oflicio members of the county board of review. It proposes to see that they do disgorge, too. - While “Honest Abe,” with the assistance of the ex-auditor of Owen county, is investigating the tax-pnyers of Jasper and is by very questionable means holding up the widows and orphans and others who will submit to the demands for 50 per cent of the swag, The Democrat proposes to do a little quiet investigation on its own account for the benefit of j the taxpayers and learn what has | become of sopie of tho money paid into the county treasury during the past ten years, and see if it has been carefully looked after and honestly disbursed. Our investigations will not cost the taxpayers one "penny, anil for; every dollar returned to the eoun- j ty treasury ns a result thereof the county] will get a full one hundred cents.

INTEREST ON PUBLIC FUNDS.

Indianapolis Sentinel: The Se»tinol has several times called attention to the good example set'.by County Treasurer William O’Keefe yf Marshall county by paying the interest on the county funds into the county treasury. <>f course this is purely voluntary on his part, but it is holding an object lesson before the people of the stnte of what can reasonably be done and what ought to be done. If there is any interest received on the public funds it ought to go to increase the funds, and the treasurer should be compensated by a fixed salary like any other officer. Theoretically our laws prevent the loaning of the funds at all, but in reality all treasurers loan them, usually to some bank or other financial institution. Every body knows this and knows that our law on the subject is of no more force practically than if it did not exist. That of itself is sufficient reason for changing the law. It is always bad policy to keep laws on the statue books that are not enforced and cannot be enforced. Tho only sensible method of dealing with such a question is to recognize the inevitable and deal with it. Our experience in this matter shows that the public moneys will be loaned, and it is not altogether a bad thing that they should bo. There is nothing gained to the community by locking up any considerable amount of money in a treasury vault ,i id thereby removing it from the channels of circulation, if it.can be loaned in •a way that will make it available whenever it is needed. That is practically what is done now and what will continue to be done under all probabilities. Mr. O’Keefe proposes that the state shall recognize this fact and authorize tho deposit of public funds with tho bunk olToring the highest rate of interest, with np-

proved security; i. e,, satisfactory bond for the payment of the money and performance of the duties of a depository. Tho advantages of such a system would be great, aside from the payment of the money into the treasury. The chief benefit would be the removal of the office of treasurer from the class of prizes to be contended for by banking institutions, and the purification of elections to that extent.

THE “COUNTRY” PRESS.

From Tbe Commoner. During tbe campaigns of 1896 and 1900, and the lesser campaigns since the former date, the democratic party has found its chief newspaper support among the loyal democratic papers so often known as “tho country press.” With a few notable exceptions the metropolitan newspapers classed as democratic deserted the democratic standard and lent thoir aid to the republican party. But the desertions from tho ranks of “the country press” were so few that they wore not noticeable. With a loyalty that could not be swerved and an ability that challenged the admiration of the opposition, “tho country press” rallied to the democratic standard and performed prodigies of valor. “The country press” has ever been loyal, and because of this every democratic newspaper that is embraced in this designation deserves and should have the hearty support of every democrat in its community. A well edited local newspaper exercises an important influence, not always visible to the casual observer, but nlways apparent when the test comes. Hundreds of such democratic weeklies and small dailies reach The Commoner’s exchange table regularly, and they are a constant source of inspiration. Let democrats show by their actions that they appreciate tho unswerving loyalty and tireless energy of tho democratic newspapers that have stood up for tho party and its principles in the Sface of influences that have corrupted so many metropolitan dailies. The local democratic papers deserve a good deal more than they usually get. Now let democrats see that thoir local organs get all they deserve.

A day or two before the attack the child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough. ' Give Chamberlain a Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the rough cough appears, and will dispel all symptons of croup. In this way all danger and anx:ety may be avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail.
