The proper way to end machine control of the republican party In Jasper county is for that party to show its disapprobation at the polls. In no other way can It throw off the yoke. Hearst's "Independence League” cut a mighty small swath in the Chicago city election Tuesday.- Out of 254,621 votes cast the league only polled 14,907 votes, according to the Hearst papers' own statement. It will cut very little figure in the national election this fall also. Will' Governor Hanly take the stump againßt Good wine, the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, as he threatened to do if Goodwine were nominated? Will he compel the Republican state central committee to remove Goodwine from the ticket? If not, what will he do? "Our short legislative period,” says the Republican platform, "limits the ability of the General Assembly to frame and enact all necessary legislation In one session." But it is quite long enbugh for the Republicans to provide wayß and means for getting away with an immense amount of money and to enact a tremendous quantity of-un-necessary legislation.

A republican exchange says: "The issue that will be the most prominent Jn the Republican campaign in this state, upon which we are now entering, will be ‘economy.’ It will be the chief slogan." When the voter considers the vast increase in useless expenditures made by the republicans, won’t he look upon this "slogan" as a huge joke? The Republican state platform Indorses the insurance bill passed by the last legislature over Governor Hanly’s veto. In his veto message the governor declared that the passage of such a bill was party “perfidy,” and now the perfidy is approved by the state convention. The same convention also approves Hanly’s administration. Now, how much sincerity is there in the wliole business? Abe Halleck’s libel Buits against The Democrat have cost the taxpayers of Jasper county many hundreds of dollars heretofore, and his antics at Kentland last week added a hundred or more to this amount. When will the people of this county get tired enough of Abe’s using the county funds in this way to vent his personal spleen to give him the political setdown that he so richly deserves? A comparison of the temperance planks in the Democratic and Republican platforms will satisfy every reasonable person that the Democratic declaration is the fairest, Bquarest, clearest and most honest statement of the two. No Democrat, certainly, can find fault with the position taken by his party. It is definite, straightforward and fully abreast of the times. The Republican declaration is indefinite and evasive in at least one essential respect, and leaves a doubt as to what it really means. But just wait until Mr. Watson tackles the question—and then just wait some more until he tackles it in different localities. The sentiment in different places may be contrariwise, you know. ’

The candidates who opposed Watson, the machine candidate—Charles W. Miller, W. L. Taylor and Hugh Th. Miller—went from one end of the state to the other telling the people that he could not be elected if nominated. They declared that he was a corporation candidate, that he had the support of the breweries and saloons, that he was discredited in his own district, and said many other things about him to prove that it was folly to put him at the head of the ticket. Organized labor opposed him from the beginning and will to the end. But the machine and the “interests” had promised him the nomination and they delivered it according to program. On every hand the expression comes from sober-minded Republicans that Watson’s nomination makes a Democratic victory in the state an absolute certainty. » <\ The Republican platform is as silent as the grave about the panic. Banks failed, factories shut down, mills closed, orders were cancelled, all kinds of business reduced, bankruptcies increased, hundreds of thousands of workmen thrown out of employment, free soup-houses set up,' the charity societies overworked, starvation and nakedness threatened—but not a word of it all in the Republican platform. Why? Just because it is a Republican panic, under a Republican administration, after eleven years of absolute republican rule, with the gold standard fixed, the highest tariff ever known in force, the “national honor” secure and the Republican goose honking high. It wasn’t necessary, however, for the Republicans to mention the panic' in their platform. The people know all about it, anyway. Governor Hanly, after he had found that his bullying methods had further widened the breach between himsVf and a large element in his party, attempted in his speech before the Republican state convention to restore himself to some degree of favor by coarse abuse of Democrats and by vindictive perversions of facts, but he failed to make the impression that he intended. Instead, he lowered himself even further in the estimation of every fair-minded man who heard him. It is generally understood that he would not have been chosen as a delegate at large to the national convention if the Fairbanks machine had not put him on to avoid a factional split. As the matter stands, Hanly is regarded by his own party merely as a discredited disturber of the peace, who is temporarily useful to Boss Fairbanks. His untruthful attacks upon Democrats may put him in favor with a certain class of Republicans, but not with the people at large, who are sick and tired of his shocking hypocrisy.

When the Indianapolis republic* ana met to choose delegates to their national convention they adopted some wonderful resolutions fa which they declared that Charles W. Fairbanks "has, been loyal to every trust." And Fairbanks has been loyal to every trust—thereby meaning the comblnatiohs of big corporations which, under Republican favor, have been skinning the ordinary man alive. He Is still loyal to these commercial pirates. His proposition to have congress called in special session immediately after the election to fix the tariff up to Buit them before a Democratic president enters the White House or a Democratic house of representatives takes hold on March 4 next, shows just where Fairbanks stands. "Loyal to every trust!" Why, the Honorable Chaxles Warwick Fairbanks chained himself to the trusts at the very beginning of his political career.

COWARDLY TARIFF PROPOSAL.

At the suggestion of Vice President Fairbanks the Indiana Republicans declare in their platform that they are in favor of revising the tariff at a special session of congress to be called in November, Immediately after the election. They recall that two years ago they promised tariff revision when it could be brought about without "hurting business." Evidently they think that business is now in such bad shape that they can safely risk a little "tinkering.” But the proposal to take action as soon as the ballots are cast in November is not only a Cowardly campaign dodge, but it is an impudent insult to the intelligence of the people. The tariff has needed revision for eleven years. It certainly needs it no worse now than it did two years ago, and it will need it no worse next November than it does now. Congress has been in session since December. It can sit as long as it pleases—until next December if it wants to. If the Republicans have any honest intention of making an honest revision, why not begin now? They have no such honest jntention. They merely want to put the matter over until after the election, and they are moved by two reasons: One is a purpose to deceive the voters; and the other is to make the trusts and all of, the tariff barons come down with big campaign contributions. The Republican leaders will tell the tar-iff-fed trusts that if they contribute handsomely a Republican congress, even if the Republicans lose the election, will take care of them before either a Democratic president or a Democratic house has a chance to block their game. The senate will be controlled by the Republicans for at least two years from the fourth of next March, but the house will probably become Democratic on the latter date and after that no trust-made tariff bill can be passed. The Fairbanks tariff proposal, which has just been adopted by the Indiana Republicans, will probably be incorporated in the Republican national platform. It is a shameless bid for the active support of the trusts in the campaign.—for the money and the votes they control. At the same time it is an insolent affront to the common sense of the people. What the present tariff needs is not a revision “by its friends”—it needs to be reformed by its enemies. In no other way can the business of the country be benefited or the burdens of the every-day man be decreased.

DOCTOR SKIN TO CURE SKIN.

Scientific Study Proves Eczema Can* not Be Treated by Dosing the Stomach With Drugs. Advanced medical science, after years of study and research, is now practically agreed that Eczema, psoriasis, salt rheum, and diseases of like nature are skin diseases—and cannot be cured by doctoring the blood. The treatment prescribed is the direct application of healing, soothing remedies to the skin. ‘‘Doctor the itch where the itch is”—such is the common sense as well as scientifically correct conclusion. Oil of wiatergreen, compounded with such other soothing vegetable remedies as glycerine and thymol in D. D. D. Prescription, is recognized as the specific. Physicians use D. D. D. Prescription freely In their practice. Dr. C. A. V. Hartleben, Washington, D. C., writes as follows: ‘‘D. D. D. Prescription is medicinal, soothing and the effect iff miraculous. God knows it saved me a deal of suffering. I recommend it to everyone I can. This letter is only one of the many testifying to the merits of this purely vegetable remedy. Copies of other letters may be seen at our store. ,1 B. F. FENDIG, Rensselaer, Ind. Free treatise on care and nutrition of the skin may be had oa application.
