KiTlie Soldiers' re-union in Pike county lust week was a big gather
ing. IThe "sober second thought"
of the American voter is a great redeeming feature. Two months ago
thousands of dissatisfied Democrats
who grumbled at the slowness of
Congress, and pig-headiness of traitor Senators, were threatening to vote the Populist ticket as a rebuke. Now they are all falling into line for the historical constitutional party of the country, and a grand victory will result in November.
WSince the Democrats have begun to show the people the immense amount of good work done by the first Congress which Democrats have controlled for more than 30 years, and the large amount of Republican burdens lifted from the shoulders of the masses, Democratic prospects of victory in Nov. have become assured, und the work of a few traitors to the platform will not be laid to the party, but it will be given further time to bring about necessary reforms, and secure a working majority in the U. S. Senate, independent of tools of the Trusts and gold bugs. The currency question is the greatest one before the people, and the Democracy are in favor of an American currency independent of British control.
tSWe wonder if the Huntingburg News speaks "by the book" when it says Stewart would "vote for the repeal of the school-book law, the tax law, and the election law." The people would like to hear from you, Mr. Stewart, on this question. The Coitiukk presumes that most sensible farmers of all political parties, now heartily endorse each of these Democratic laws but candidates for the Legislature might well pledge themselves for them, no mutter to which party they belong for there can be but'little "doubt that the next Legislature will be haunted by a lobby willing to buy Democrats who are the sell-out kind, if such should be there as members, to vote for the repeal of these beneficent laws, and unfortunately even some men, professing to be Democrats, have shown that thev love money
better thun honor. I'leuge your
selves, candidates.

LET THE SM BEJOIGE FOW.saw
MRS. WALLACE!
The well has already
veritable blessing during the con
tinued drought. Many have been tho blessings bestowed upon the commissioners by the thirsty public, by furmers coming to Jasper on business, and finding good water, not only for man, but also for beast. All day long teams of horses are waiting their turn at the public
fountain of pure water of an unfail
ing supply, with the satisfaction of
knowing that it is free and there
for them, for all alike.
In a few vears the shade trees
will serve the purpose of protecting
and resting the wearied, and will be a source of public comfort. How
do we lind the fault finders with
these benevolent acts, who cull them
public humbug? How do they
serve tue public in tnese nines oi
scarcity of water for themselves and
mmials? We find them taking oil
the handles of their pumps to pre
vent any one from taking water, on
account ot the present scarcity
while the public well is furnishing
in abundance, free to all alike
Should not these benevolent acts
or the general public be an example
to be followed, for some of our nar
row-minded fools?
Some vears atio an allowance of
ixtv dollars was made bv the eoun-
y for a lithograph page of the
court house m the "Pike and Du
bois countv Historv." Upon close
examination we find that the picture of the court house is not a lith
ograph at all, but a very poor zink
date, copied from a pen and ink
sketch made by a Swiss tramp.
Not even the court house steeple is
hown. The question is, "who got
the lithograph?" Some parties had to pay onlv fortv dollars for a one
age picture of themselves. Did
the then countv Auditor pav anv-
ling for his? How about the pub
ic welfare in this transaction ! Was
here any grumbling then about ex
penses, or about watering snaue
trees to keep them from dving af
ter they had been planted? Really, some persons seem to think thev
are entitled to "hog all the per-
immons" themselves. But the
eople will say in November, and
lese parties can keep on specu-
ating on their own monev, instead
of the public's. Histokv.

People voted for all the sons, cous
ins, nephews, brother-m-laws, ivc, when they elected a President and it was fiercelv denounced.
Now, I wonder if it's an v worse in
a President than it is in a township
trustee. And I wondered, too, if a Superintendent granting a license,
or two, or maybe three, for one vote,
was a necessity to his re-electton, or was much different from a member
of a Cabinet, or a Governor, selling out ollices for money ; and I wondered, too, if all applicants for license knew they could buy them for a given price, whether the teachers of the countv would represent
the most money, the strongest "pull," or the minor considerations
of teaching ability and education.
Can the Superintendent give us
light through his Educational col
umn? OnsKitvKit.

We publish a few of hundreds of unsolicited testimonials that have appeared in the paper everywhere she has visited. Lack of vanity on the part of Mrs. Wallace prevents the publishing of more. Although "Kind words from Grateful Hearts," have a tendencv to establish her well merited fame, Mrs. Wallace holds fast to the old adage "Seeing is Believing," the balance rests with you. Why linger in poor health! Come and be cured.

It is the BEST Because
It is what we claim it to be a POSITIVE FORCE FEED. It sows, with the same gear, the same quantity of wheat or oats. It is the only drill in the world that will do this. It will not break tho grain. It is not complicated as it sows all kind of grain with one run. It plants corn for a field crop satisfactorily. It is the only drill that does not require a special device for Planting corn. It is guaranteed to sow as well as anv double feed run made. TIIK FOltCE-FEfil) FERTILIZER ATTACHMENT used 011 the Empire Drill is fast superseding all others, because It is the only one made that is a FOKCE FEED. It does not paste nor clog up. It distributes an even continuous stream. It regulates the quantity sown positively bv gear. It avoids all guess work. It is simple, durable and reliable. It is taken apart without loosening a nut, spring, holt or kev. It feeds out all the phosphate in the box.
