It seems that “hop cream” is too thin for a liquor appetite aod don’t draw trade. Tiie boasting that the liquor business was good enough in Nappanee without a license, seems to have been a case of talking through the hat. The Bristol Banner has entered upon its 28th volume. Horace H. Mosier is giving Bristol the best paper the town has ever had The paper is better edited, better printed, and better patronized as a result. It doesn’t require a great amount of foresight to know bow some things will terminate. Quite the easiest, among other little political side issues, was the re-nomination of Hon. A. L. Brick, by the Republicans of this district. For Abe, it was just like rolling off a log. When the temperance folk in Union and Locke townships will have completed their work on the power of attorney remonstrances, the “intentions’’ of several individuals who have given notice that they will apply for license to sell liquor in Nappanee, will look like thirty cents. We have been waiting for a long while for an opportunity to sign a remonstrance against an applicant for a saloon license in Union township. We are informed, however, that those who’signed a remonstrance started last year, and not completed, will answer this time as it was a perpetual document. • The Warsaw Union, which has now been under the direction and ownership of H. S K Bartholomew for three years, is gaining ground in Kosciusko county among the Democrat® There’s such a difference between the character of the paper now and that of the Bowersox regime that it can scarcely be recognized as the same paper. Some of the Democratic papers think they have found a worthy opponent for Hon. Abe Lincoln Brick in the person of Mayor Mix, of Mishawaka. This may all be true, but if Mishawaka’s mayor intends to run for congress against Mr. Brick he ought to have petitioned the legislature to add “er” to bis name before entering on the task. TnERE seems to be some people at Elkhart, who have suffered much by the river overllow, that are inclined to attribute the back water to the Hen Island' dam. If there is a city in this country where afflictions have come heavier and oftener than those which have befallen the queen city of the county during the past few months, somebody has failed to make it known. Calamities seem to come thick and fast at times. However, Elkhart will recover from all these trade depressing incidents—in spite of banks, high water, and ares. Fearfal Odds Against Him.

The Elkhart coDgress of Samaritans, presided over by Hod. C. G. Conn, supreme president, held a jubilee meeting last evening at which time over 125 new members were initiated. There were many visitors from neighboring congresses, who enjoyed the work under the new ritual, as well as the banquet. Mr. Conn seems to have infused new life into the order everywhere. Even Nappanee congress has been taking in new members. The News man regrets that he was unavoidably detained by business aDd could not be present at the jubilee meeting. What a sad commentary on the business relations of men, that attempt of Piesident Brodrick to shift all responsibility for the rottenness in the couduct of the Elkhart bank onto Cashier Collins, because the latter was willing to acknowledge that he practiced dishonest methods. We are reminded of a certain admonition that a man should by no act of his place himself in such a light with a friend or business associate, that the friend or associate in business can use it against him should be become an enemy. This is not saying that one should have no confidence in one’s neighbor, because things honest and honest purposes cannot be so used. Before the Chicago car-barn bandits and murderers are hung they would like to leave a pack of lies behind them for a consideration with which to gorge the susceptible youth inclined to follow in their paths of crime. One of these murderers even went so far as to say he had taken a life for each year of his age—29, which nobody believes, of course. These murderers ought to be placed in solitary confinement from now until they mount the scaffold to pay the penalty of their crimes, instead of allowing their conversation to get into the public prints. It is enough to know that the brutes have been convicted and will be bung, the public wants no more of them nor their lives

When the Nappanee News keeps up with current events it will no longer first deny that Porto Rico has a delegate in congress, and then say that this delegate is not admitted to the floor of congress. —Milford Mail. The Mailsbould call in some school boy who will inform that paper that the Porto Rican government has no delegate in coDgress and is not permitted under the law to have one, the statement of the Mail two weeks ago to the contrary. Now then, this paper said that the personage whom the Mail said was a delegate in congress is simply sent to Washington by the native government without authority of the U. S. government, and hence is not recognized by congress nor admitted to the floors as a delegate. The News claims that its statement is not only true, but also consistent. Porto Rico has no delegate in congress, and for that reason, no delegate is admitted to the floors of congress, the Mail's statement to the contrary in its criticism of the News. Mrs. John A. Logan, whom it is buiu made her ha ' gre~‘, is a regular contributor to the Sunday American, She may have had much to do with thesuccess of her late husband as a general, but there is a suspicion that she never made much of a farmer out of him, notwithstanding she now writes learnedly of the farm and farmers from the standpoint of an agriculturalist -that is, in the sense of one who has the experience of the farming business with paper and ink. The lady’s belief that farmers are given to “wastefulness and slothfulness” brings out the following criticism from the American Farmer, which, according to our notion, bits the question properly and squarely: kind of farmers Mrs. Logan has been associating with and where she found them should be filed as a bill of particulars. There are no doubt Improvident farmers, but they bear so small a proportion to the whole mass as hardly to deserve a place in the census returns. We invite Mrs. Logan to come out west and board around durlDg the busy season and see if she won’t change her jaundiced views. After she has been routed out of bed a few times at four o’clock in the morning, and sees ail the cows thllked before daylight, and half the general work doDe before she Is in the habit of rising from her luxurious couch at Washington, she will be better qualified to write for the papers about farmers.” A Severe Cold for Three Months. The following letter from A. J. Nusbaura. of Batesville, Ind., tells its own story. “I suffered for three months with a severe cold. A druggist prepared me some medicine, and a physician prescribed for me, yet I did not improve. I then tried Foley’s Honey and Tar, and eight doses cared me.’’. Refuse substitutes. Sold by J. S.

In following the testimony in the cases against the officials of the wrecked Indiana National Rank at Elkhart one cannot but believe that honest men make veritable rascals of themselves in time by a continued refunding of conscience instead of calling a halt at the time of the first mistake. For instance, here is Cashier Collins of the bank in question who is a self-confessed rascal —pleads guilty to the charge of having made false entries in the books of the bank with the hope, he says of saving it from ruin. Who ever beard of anything being saved by lying? This policy Dot only doubly assured the ultimate collapse of the bank, but it also took with it the reputation of men who were known among their fellow men for truth and veracity, only. The testimony up to this time of writing shows conclusively that President Brodrick is as guilty in juggling the bank’s affairs as was Collins, though be stands trial, while the former pleaded guilty. The fact is, if there ever was an institution, in which the public had faith, that was permeated by dishonesty and palpable rottenness, this Elkhart bank must surely have been in line for the first premium. The News has commented but little on these matters, heretofore, rather awaiting until the court brought out the testimony from which an unbiased opinion might be formed. While it is unfair to assume that a man is guilty until he is so proven, yet there can be but the least shadow of a doubt, if any, about the conviction and punishment of Collins and Brodrick, at least. What therejuay tie in store for Walter Brown is altogether problematical, as bis case will hinge on new points of law with which the layman scarcely ever comes In contact. There is one thing which this journal pointed out immediately after the collapse of the bank when considerable noise was being made about those connected with the institution, and that was, that those who were guilty of wrecking the bank, if any, would be suiely and certainly punished, for the government knows no influential citizens who become law-breakers.

If there is any one thing about wbicjb all men have mistaken notions, at various times, it is the value or quality of thiDgs they have to buy as compared with the price they pay. We are reminded of this by the recent distribution of a car of groceries at who purchased the goods ttiat made up this car-load did so, undoubtedly, because they believed that they were saving money on the same kind and amount of goods. In fact, there can be no other reason for people buying of foreign concerns.. Now, this “cheaper” business is simply a notion that we are all inclined to court —the average merchant or business man is just as susceptible to this notion as is the farmer or other consumers. However, men are simply mistaken nine times out of ten when it comes to the matter of thinking they are obtaining tbe same kind and quality of guods for less money than a home merchant can sell them for. Time and time iiKalu we hus- in!.;, thi its of this matter, and we are thoroughly satisfied that the statement herein made is correct, as a rule. From the recent car of goods we can take any bill that was bought—even where the prices have advanced—and duplicate it in Nappanee with a saving of from 25 cents to SI.OO on every $lO invested, according to the kind of goods bought. Very few people realize the deception in the quality of groceries. This journal is so certain that this is true, because the competition In the field Os human endeavor is so sharply drawn, that we will give a year’s subscription to this paper for every billot goods taken from that car that we cannot duplicate or save money on here among Nappanee merchants, and the only reqnirement we will exact of the one who purchased the goods will be to pay for the year’s subscription if we succeed In saving money 'on the bill of groceries. If you bought $5 to S2O worth out of that car, make a duplicate of the bill next time aDd take It to yonr grocer and tell him that you are going to buy tor cash, and that a cheaper granulated sugar will answer your purpose as would his best grade; tea, coffee etc., the same way, having him show you samples—this is the same and only assurance you have from the man who delivers goods from a car as to what you are paying for. He will certainly give you as low prices as you can obtain of a traveler. '—Lagrippe coughs yield quickly to the wonderful enrative qualities of Foley’s Honey and Tar.

What a deceptive guideboard i whisky as one travels^th rough life We note that an acquaintance—yes, more tbao a passing acquaintance, a friend in boyhood days at Goshen, has been serving a thirty-day sentence and confined to the hospital ward of the county jail at Goshen for alcoholism. He was to be arraigned in court aDd tried as to bis ability to take care of his own property. We first koew this man in bis boyhood in the fall of 1866. In company with other boys, only one other of whom we now recall, he came to our father’s farm, or passed that way that fall on tbelr way to visit the cider mill in the neighborhood. In company with an older brother the writer was caring for a patch of beans when the “town boys” came into the field, and this particular boy inquired if we were makiDg hay. We have known him siDce that day. The other “town boy” is now a resident of Chicago and a reader of this paper—he will recall the incident. This mao’s early life was do different from hundreds of other boys, perhaps. He was in the habit of drinking some when be reached the age of, perhaps, 20 years, though not to excess; He fell Into occasional excess, however, after he was married to a well-known Goshen lady and twin daughters were born to them. Divorce followed, the home was broken up, aDd whisky was used freely to drown the terrible gnawing at the conscience. Though physically an athlete in his younger days—a winner of many foot races and skating contests by bis ability to get away at the flash of a pistol, be trained with whisky and its environments until he is to-day a physical and mental wreck. Do you believe in heredity? Then come with us for a moment. The father was a well-knowD, industrious citizeD of Goshen, but a regular, and at times a hard drinker, while rearing two sons, the younger of which was an artist bom but died In his teens. The mother was a kindly, ; Jbard-working woman, and an indulgent mother to her own sons aDd to all boys in the neighborhood. They have long ago passed to their reward. The other surviving member of the family, the subject of this sketch, will carry with him to the grave the last of bis name, we believe —deceived by the guideboard, “whisky.” When we think of the Incident that brings to mind this editorial, is it any wonder that we hate the whisky business as representedlbr the saloon?

DIVISION IN THE COURT. 0 Chicago Chronicle. As in several other important cases of late, the supreme court reached its decision in the Northern Securities matter by a close division with Chief Justice Fuller in the minority. The full force of the insular judgment was lost upon the country by reason of tbe unfortunate division in tbe court. It is to be feared that the decision in the Northern Securities merger, while manifestly in accordance wittr-law, will not carry the weight that it should and that it would have done if tbe court bad been in closer agreement. Dissenting opinions in both cases have turned upon the constitutional powers of congress, which to the layman appear to be well enough established, but which there Is still a disposition in the court to deny. Id tbe ancieDt days of what was called strict construction of tbe constitution likely to be no construction at all unless tbe strict constructionists chanced to be In power, when they took all the rope that they wanted or needed. There is an Immense difference between reasonable and intelligent construction and no construction at all. Tbe no-constructionists were as objectionable and as dangerous at times as tbe liberal constructionists, for in extreme cases both of them in dlffererent ways made blank paper of the constitution. It is as bad to deny tbe existence of powers and responsibilities plainly bestowed by the constitution as It Is

THE ELECTRIC BARBER SHOP.’

to assume powers Dot conferred by hat Instrument. If there are any two things which the constitution makes perfectly clear to the unprejudiced mind Dot concerned with hair-splitting technicalities they are the authority of congress over the territories of the United • States and over interstate commerce. For fifty years congress governed the territories in accordance with executive acts and treaties, but that did not confer upon the executive the power to govern the territories, nor did it deprive coDgress of the power under the limitations of the constitution to do as it pleased with them. For nearly 100 years congress made' no effort to regulate interstate commerce, but the power to do so was in the constitution all of the lime. Indeed, there would have been no constitution if it bad not been for the demand of commercial Interests for a central authority capable of dealing with questions of commerce at home and abroad od a higher plane than any oDe slate was likely to assume. The supreme court Is an exceedingly conservative body and it is well that It is so, but it does not Appear to be a proper place for men who fail to perceive in the constitution grants of power to coDgress which are in language infinitely plainer than aDy that can he found there relating to the authority of the supreme court. It is plainly written in the constitution that congress shall govern and may even dispose of the territories of the United States and that it shall regulate commerce between the different states and territories and with foreign countries. Why nearly onehalf of the judges of the supreme court are reluctant to recognize this power is not clearly explained by any of the dissenting opinions which they are in the habit of filiDg. Most of these opinions do not go to tbe root of the matter at all. They are rhetorical rather than reasonable. They deal in generalities with much sound and fury, but they lead nowhere and they convince nobody. Six or eight little words Id tbe constitution ate more convincing than all of them put together. “Do It To* day.” The time-worn iDjunctioo, “Never put off ’til to-morrow what you can do to-day,” is now generally presented in this form: “Do it to-day I” That is tbe terse advice we want to give you about that backing cough or demoralizing cold with which you have been struggling for several days, perhaps weeks. Take some reliable remedy for It to day—and let that remedy be Dr. Boschee’s German Syrup, which has been in use for over thirty-five years. A few doses of it will undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold, and its continued use for a few days will cure you completely. No matter how deep-seated . your cough, even if dread consumption has attacked our lungs, German Syrup will surely effect a cure—as it has done before in thousands of apparently hopeless cases of lung trouble.
