Tariff reform goes marching on to victory. Tanner has predicted that Indiana will go 25000 Democratic next Fall, lie is splendid Republican authority. In view of Dr. Harris’s excellent administration, ,he ought to be reelected trustee of Jefferson township. If the people in Lockhart township know their ’best interest they will elect S. G. Barrett trustee of that township.

Labor is ml ready sufficiently organized to use the politician instead of allowing the politician to use the laborer. This is a more healthful con- » dition. Jas. D. Hoi.lon ought to be elected trusted of Washington township. Even Fred Smith’s former tricnds say so. j.' Will they, vote for the people’s interest ? A. G. Smith (Green Smith) is a ' candidate for Attorney General at the next Democratic State convention. Ilia name is familiar to every household of the State, and is known throughout the Union. Accokdikg to the Press the convention in Clay was au “‘harmonious” affair, and the Democrats were very mean. They were Republicans who bolted for a good reason ; so say the good honest men of that township. We shave been making inquiry about Mr. Grim, who is a candidate for trustee in Monroe Township, and can truly say that he bears an excellent reputation for everything that tits him for tho office which he seeks. N.o One has ever accused James Coats of being a fool, except br inuendo in the Press of last week. Mr. Coats, if In wants to be a candidate for Representative can do so without endorsing bad government in Clay township, ami that will he do. lie is right about it, too. t Trustee Biiock, of Marion towuship, is being supported without any partisanship being made a question. Some good Republicans out there have told us that they will vote lor him because lie has made an excellent trustee and will soon put the township out of debt. .Every Democrat ought to vote for him. They can do no better. Or course Mr. Smith will deny having misappropriated any of the township money. Such would be punishable by imprisonment. After taking money that never belonged to him, Mi.' Smith will have te produce sworn evidence from other men than himself before the people will cease to think that he has used this money for his and his friends’ benefit.

One of, 1 lie men wlio did some of the work on the court house says the bauds were to get $2 a day, and; the discount of county orders was to have been Anade up to them m an over-al-lowance of time; that oue man who , . never before handled a brush got $40, and that the over-allowance business was lived up to with a part of the hands but not with all of them. ■ *- We met a man on the streets and was asKed, “What is a “come honorary” duty ?■' Leave off the quotation marks and spell the word cum onere, mid you have the latiu term which means “with the burden.” In other words it is a duty which comes with an office a.icl for which the law allows no pay, and the collection of pay for which, asour trustee did, is unlawful. Not on accouut of any personal matter, uor for any personal hatred, " nor for shy political advautage are we exposing Mr. Smith’s work. The people must have information before they cau vote iutelligeatly. As to Mr. Smith’* denial of having a chance nt $1900 for the next year, there is, according to his report, $1431.59 on bands, and by his assessed rate be will, at tbe^next draw from the people’s lax money swell this amount to over $1900 for him to draw from. The people oofhl not t« vole for any man who will, by unlawful methods, extort money from them and then throw in the teeth of taxpayers that they would only like to hare jetton a part of it. This Is a good deal of “cheek.” But, If the peoplo want a mao to treat them so, just let them walk up to l he polls and vole money out of their pockets into his, and then he satisfied. Mr. Smith’s friends pay pern: of Ibis tax.

FRED SMITH. An Exposure of His Record for Benefit of Taxpayers. IX OFFICIAL RECORD OX YffiCH THE PEOPLE 1IXTIXFORMATIOX. Why the Thinking, Moral, aad Setter Glass think He Should, not be Se-elected* Rot a Personal, nor a Political, a«f a Partisan Attack. Bat u Roaut ExpMare of What the ft«»!*, »•* the Partiaaae, are Bciauitts?. We make no personal attack on Mr. Smith. To the people whose sufrages he asks, an explanation of how he got so inach money out of the tax money ‘is due.- Last week, in the Press, lie stated that he got $329 lor his salary alone, and said that the editor of the Democrat exposed it because lie (the editor) wanted to divide the money with him. In this he intimates that any man will charge both the towuship and the county for work upon the same days, as well as to have charged 42 a day tor four Sundays in the official year, as Mr. Smith ha* done. But surely such is not the case. We hare the confidence that the majority of competent men are honest. Mr. Smith, not satisfied with charging for all the cum onere duties of the office, for which the law allows nothing, and which he cannot legally collect, charged, in addition, for four Sundays in the year, and received j*ay for these lour Sundays at the rates of <2 per day. Moreover, on the 4th day of Defc. 1888, Mr. Smith weut to Indianapolis to take two blind persous to the Assy lu in, and on the 3d and 4th of the same month he charged the township 44 for school work and on the 5th, 42 for work with poor, llow he got this |6 for service in'Petersburg at the very time he was at Indianapolis on a trip

I It I IT lllbll ill/ ■ VV/li l v,« ■ • v»«n •••w tv $37 is a question the taxpayers want him to explain. Aug. 12,18SS, March 3, and March 10, and July 28, 1889, were Sundays, and on these dates Mr. Smith had the township charged with four days work at $2 per dav, and actually received his pay. All this Mr. Smith get for work which he could not have done from the very nature ot the dates. He evidently sat down and made out his bill with the intention of covering every working day in the year so far as it would seem at all consistent, and from his sheer incoinpetency let the dates cover some of the Sundays. Mr. Smith should have been careful to get hold of a calandar that would not have betrayed his raid upon the people’s money purse. lie has evidently laid himself liable to indictment as will appear from the Revised Statute of 1881, Section 2007, which reads as follows: “Whoever willfully, corruptly, aud falsely, before any officer authorized to administer oaths, under oath, or affirmation, voluntanally makes any .false certificate, affidavits or statement of any nature, shall be deemed guilty of peijttrv, and, upon eenfiction thereof, shall be imprisoned in the State Prison not more than twen-ty-one years n »r less than two years, fined not more than one thousand dollars nor less than fifty dollars, disfranchised and rendered incapable of holding any office of trust or profit any determined period.” Mr. Smith's affidavit to his illgotton gains is as follows : Stale of Indiana, Pike County, Set. “I, Fred Smith, Trustee of Washingten Township, do swear that the foregoing claim is justly owing me by Washington Township, for services rendered as Trustee of Washington Township, so h«;ip me God.” Fred Smith. Subscribed and sworn to before tne, this 7th day of August, 1889. W. J. Bethel, Auditor Pike Colt is plain tiiat Mr. Smith has made a false statement in certvfying aud calling God to witness that the township owed him for work on Sundays and that both the county and township owed him for work on the same dates. The penalty we have

quoien. 10 snow mriuer inai auSmith has violated the law we cite Sections 6695 to 6702, acts of 1683, supieinent to Revised Statute of 1881, which first secliou reads as follows: ‘‘Be it enacted liv the general assembly of the State of Indiana, That it shall be unlawful for any officer in this State, undercolor of his office, to tax, nr permit to be taxed in his office, any fee or sum ot money that is not legally allowable under the statute or statutes of the State.'’ We are astonished at Mr. Smith’s conduct. It is not surprising that Mr. Smith finds scarcely a man who will defend him. We rejoice not at the downfall of any man, and are sorry to lie titled upon by the circumstances in the case to expose this work upon the camera of the public gaze. But 6itch is the duty of a newspaper and we flinch not from it. In all kindness, a word to Mr. Smith: Reform your official conduct, or give place to some man who will conduct his office on the more honorable and economical basis of your predecessors iu office. And to the public: Wc have given you a part of Mr. Smith’s record. Iu the Auditor’s office you will find it. We ask you to see it lor yourself. We do not ask you to vote against Mr. Smith for any partisau purpose; but, -in the name of good government, we do ask you to do so for the benefit of the taxpayer upon whose shoulders the burdens of the public flail heavily.

Washington Township Democratic Conrentiou. The Democrats of Washington township, believing that the financial condition demands of them that they put it* nomination for office men who have not, and whose honesty will not permit, them to rob tbe people of their tax money, met at Fleming’s Hall in this place last Saturday after-noon and elected P. W. Chappell chairman, and J. L. Mount Secretary of the Convention. J. D. Hoi Ion was nominated for trustee by acclamation. Henry Ault aud Joe Vincent were voted tor as candidates for Assessor. Mr. Ault received the most voles and was declared ihc nominee of the convention. DanielP. Darnall was nominated for J.P.br acclamation. Henrv Kiefer, Hiram Gantry and William Chew were nominated for constables in the same manner. The selectiugof road supervisors was left to the difiereut road districts. Thos. K. Fleming was chosen a member of the County Central Democratic Committee. kot^£ Republicans were not debarred from voting, and It is therefore a peoples ticket, for whom all can vole. Every man on the ticket is good. The candidate for trustee is known to be an excellent selection, and is a man who pays a big township tax, and therefore has the interest of the whole people at iieart. ^ Not only Democrats, but hundreds of good Republicans were pleased with having given to them au opporportunitv to vote for a good tnau. There are not Democrats enough to elect Hollon. We- know that. All Republicans who think it is a less crime to be a decent Democrat thau it is to take from the people $2 when only $1 is due will vote for Hollon. Fora candidate to say: “If you will vole for me I will do so and so,” is bribery; but Mr. Hollon save that if he is elected the expenses of the trustee “will not and shall not be onehalf so extravagant as it has been.”

Money was raised ro pay lor printing Fred Smith’s record, so that the people may know for whom they vole. lie now says he has only about $1400 put away to draw from in the year from Aug. ’89 to "90. That is a large sum, considering that all the extrustee’s say he cannot honestly get $300 as a salary. What did Smith get ? Go to the Auditoy’a office and see. THAT SPEECH. It has been reported by one of Fred Smith’s friends that the speech made by A; II. Tayloi was abusive to Republicans. It is false, and was done to create a hatred against Democratic nominees. Smith was not even abused. His record was strongly condemned as it should be by all who hare the interest of the people at heart. We hare a copy of that speech, and to show what it was we print it as follows: “It has beeu suggested by Borne Democrats that we ought to permit the election ot trustee to go by default in this township, so that the opposition might hare an opportunity to get real practical information as to the manner in which they are defrauded by unjust charges and overtaxation by the man whom they have nominated for a second term. But I think this ia poor policy, and not only unjust to ourselves, but to mqny Republicans who are just as anxious for Ihe election of one who will properly conduct the affairs of the township as w« are. That man we offer them in the person of Jas. D. Ilollon, whose past life is a fair index of what his administration of the affairs will be. It is not only owing from us That we make this nomination, but that the people at large bo informed what manner of man the opposition lias, presented for the suffrage of the.voters of Washington Township, and it behooves ns to examiue into, and report to our neighbors, both Republicans and Democrats, what Fred Smith’s record has been during the time he has had the office. Certain grave charges have been made against

nun through the Democrat, all ot which lie either ignores or answers evasively, in the rain hope that the charges will not be seen by some, and that partisan prejudice will causeoihers to vote tor him. God forbid that the good peopleof Washington Township are so blinded by partisan prejudice, and so under the control of the lash of the politicians as to vote for any man ill this township for so responsible au office as that of trustee, who has been proven tov be dishonest, incompetent, and uuworthy as this man Smith has been shown to be. fie has collected from you, and has now in his hands and in the hands of a few friends, large suras of money that he has no immediate u»e for, save for the benefit of himself and frienda. If he has done this ignorantly, then he is unfit tor the office he holds; if he has done this corruptly, then he is uuworthy and dishonest, aud should be deposed from his office. In either case, you are the sufferers with your taxes already euormously high, to be assessed and taxed for money for the use of the trustee is ait outrage that should be resented. Besides all this, be has taken from this township apd county for his services during the year, from Aug. 1, 1888, to Aug. 1, 1389, the sum of $688.35, of which $529 was charged to this township alone; a sum almost double that of any of his predecessors, and treble to many of them. And' among those items, over his ■wont statement, he lias charged for several Sundays, and also for work done in his office at times when he was at Indianapolis aud elsewhere. These arc facts which can be as eertained by an examination in the Auditor’s office where he has filed his sworn accounts, and any man can sec for himself who will take time to do so. Then, gentlemeu, I think that it is not only our duty to present an honest man for the suffrage of the voters of Washington township, which wo, have in the person or Jas. D. notion, but it is our further duty to bring

to the knowledge of the voter* these (acts concerning Fred Smith, and thiscau best be done by a publication of the records, and have them sent broad-east over the towuship and put in the hands of every voter. Then, after this is done, after their attention has been called to matters, we will have done our duty as citizens; and, if the people go blindly, for part isan purposes, and vote against their interest and conscience, we will not be blaimed for the act. I am confident that, in matters of this kind, in which all the people arc so equally interested, they will riselu their iudiguaiion, and show bv the result of the election of trustee that they are opposed to Corruption and dishonesty in office and are in favor of economy and honest administration of their affairs.’' To Oar Trustee. Where has he kept the people’s stir, plus money ? In whose hands has it been ? Why did you charge for services op Sundays? Have not you frieuds claimed for you that the new school books have increased your salaries over that of your predecessors ? and were not - your charges ail made before Aug., 1,1889, many weeks before the new kooks were shipped to ihe township ? Heretofore the people hatfe believed that you are worthy to be Trustee. Will you new come forward witb an explanation that will convince the people that you have not got money for work for the comity and township ou the same days; have not charged and collected money lor Sundays? and are worthy of re-election ? If, in.your bill of $688 35 you got nothing for handling school books and doing work occasioned by the new duties, how much mote than $688.35 will he your bill when presented to the Commissioners for allowance on Aus. 1,1890?

In the Pike County Leader, a correspondent from Augusta properly exposes an out-rage on the taxpayers of the county. W e a re glad to see the Leader take a stand for what is right. As an independent paper, the Leader can consistently expose any man or tuen of any party. Go for them rough-shod and with both feet at once. It is right. Last Friday the Republicans of Llawcreek township (Columbus Indiana) held a convention. The candidates for Assessor before that Republican convention were Joe. Bcrneg, an ex-Union soldier and W. T. Romingcr, and ex-rebel soldier. The Rebel was nominated by the g. o. p. All but five of the great cities of New York went Democratic in the late elections. Most of the California cities did likewise. There is more Cattarrh in this section of the county than all other diseases put together. and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years Doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and, by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science; has proven cattarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Cattarrh Cure manufactured by ,F. J. Cheney A Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonfull.
