The Brook Reporter says that Fred Longwell, the republican candidate for prosecntor, has horse sense enough to keep out of petty spite cases that some prosecutors delight in furthering, and that no citizen has cause to fear a spiteful prosecution if he la the next prosecutor.

The latter’s haloon license expires the 25th of April. He had published notice that he would apply for renewal this month, but later decided not to apply until next month, and will devote the few intervening days to re-papering and fixing up his place of business. He is naturally much over the remonstrance in that township having been knocked out in court last week. The report that Dan Day, the murderer of Daisy Phillips, had attempted suicide by breaking an electric light globe and eating the glass, is erroneous. It was first thought he had done so, as he*said, but later the globe was found. He had been joking his jailor. Dan is kept in the padded cell at night and given the liberty of the corridor In the day time. He eats and sleeps well and Is very tractible. IJe don’t want to discuss the murder and wilt say little about it. What’s this! “A bread riot in Hammond! Foreigners clamoring for something to eat! Situation becomes desperate in the Calumet region! Ten thousand idle men!” The above are headlines in a republican paper and tell about the starving foreigners beselglng the Lake superior court room Tuesday and the offices Of the township trustees, clamoring for something to eat. If we hadn’t read this In a republican paper we would never have believed It, for have we not been told that such things never, no never occur under a republican administration? Shades of old Alf McCoy! What’s the country coming to anyhow, and what has become of the full dinner pail?

The Brook Reporter, republican, shows the fallacy of the temperance clatpis of the Crumpacker crowd, that the republican machine here is lined up with, by showing •that at .the state convention ost week the Crumpacker bunch from Lake and Porter lined up to a man in the committee rooms against any temperance declaration, and defeated, so far as their district was concerned, any temperance move by a vote of 65 to 61. The Reporter thinks the Jasper county machine should be known by the company it keeps. Well, the saloon Tote of this county has always gone to the machine head here, and it is not strange that it should line up with the same element in neighboring counties.

HIS WAS A SILLY BOAST.

Aa lowa man boasted that he had voted one ticket for over 40 years. That is, he thought It was a boast; really It was a confession. It is a confession that for over 40 long years he has been content to let someone else do his thinking for him. For 40 years he has been the blind sheep following the tinkle of the bell. He has put silly sentiment above sense; party above patriotism.' Political parties are jnanipulated by human beings, and so make mistakes just as men do. No party has ever existed 40 years without making a mistake. Instead of using his influence to correct the mistakes of his party, this man helped to exaggerate them. Our national destiny will not be worked out by any political party alone. The initiative for progress must come from the thinking men, who will keep their party In line by holding the big stick of their support and influence over it. If the party goes wrong, It is the duty of good men to desert it. The independent voter—the man who thinks—has it in his power to put the professonal politicians out of business. He has it In his power to enact laws that will give him a chance to vote Sen. Slowpoke from his salaried slumbers. He has it in his to tear the party props from undCT Boss Graft. The party man is dead weight on the flying machine of progress. He increases his own taxes by snoozing while the grafters work. The next time you vote, vote for she man who is on the square and you’ll help to make your party decent. —Ex.

CURES COUGHS AND COLDS.

Hyomei Gives Relief in 10 Minutes —Cures Over Night. Everybody knows, or ought to know, that Hyomei is recognized among scientists as the specific for Catarrh, Asthma, Bronchitis and Hay Fever, but there are a great many people who do not know that Hyomei will cure a cough or cold in less than 24 hours. But everyone should know that the soothing, balmy and antiseptic air of Hyomei when breathed over the raw and inflamed membrane of the nose and throat will instantly allay the inflammation, and will ebfect a prompt cure. Complete Hyomei outfit, including inhaler, costs only SI.OO at B. P. Fendig’s. Extra bottles, if afterwards needed, will cost but 50 cents. Joseph M. Harbaugh, Heldredge, Neb., writes: “I have used your Hyomei in my family for two years or more, and find it one of the best remedies we ever used for a cold or sore throat. We find that it gives quick relief in cases of catarrh.”

/ THEN I AM 0068. When all the folks are fast asleep And everything is stlU, I like to sit around and let My fancy range at will. There's nothing to disturb me then, And no one to annoy— Too late for bill collectors and Such dampeners of joy. My wife is in the land of dreams, And so she cannot say. "We'll have to have a ton of coal, And there's the rent to pay. The children all are needing shoes. The pipes have sprung a leak, I wish you'd fix that rocking chair I spoke about last week." The boss at that unseemly hour Does not drop In to say. "The times ate getting on the.’bum, ril have, to cut your pay.” No one with a pathetic tale Can break Into my den And moan, 'Tm up against It, BUI, Say, can you lend me a ten?” When all the folks have gone to bed, Then comes the witching hour When I can be my only boss _ _ And fear no earthly power; When I can do*just as I please, With no one tp protest; It may be selfish and all that, But it's a dandy rest. , —Nashville American.
