Tkaylckis an emiiici.tly well qualified man ;tpr Assessor. Jefferson township is fortunate to have him as a candidate. How much more of this “blessed” tax will it take to help the farmer get rich? How much more do you want? No man ever made a better trustee than Dr. It. W. Harris has made in Jefferson township, and the people know it. Fkar of attacking the Catholic church seems to have saved Mr. Parrett and to- have lost Mr. Posey. “Ah! there! iStay there, Mr. Panrett W. F. Bbock took the affairs of Manon township under adverse circumstances, but he will so'on have the township in the best of condition, fiunancially. All concede that he ought to be re-elected.

Me. Grim seems to have grown in favor with the people of Monroe township almost ever since he was nominated for trustee. The people . at there ought to see to it industriously, that so cmmiucntly qualified a . an is elected._ As to fitness for the office and his uialifieations, no man in Lockhart '.vnship is the superior to S. G. •arrett. Ilis neighbor’s have always respected him and will vote for him almost to a man. Mr. Scales, j:he candidate for Assessor will atso receive a hearty support for like reascus.. Both deserve it._ Vak Antwerp, Bragg, & Co., are still doing their best to, break down the Indiana School Book Law. The supreme court has blackened their "yes “beautifully.” Tney claim they ,ave sold first readers at 14 cents and No. 2. Geographies at $1. All who •iavo to buy books for their children Anew tbi» t,o be false. Ouk Mr. Ashby,of Monroe, is surely to be tiie next Assessor of that township. His qualifications,in point jf judgement and ollici-w,ise, demand it. Ilis strongest enemies concede f at he is the man for the place lie i or, rather, the people seek to •fit him in. In Logan township, Peter R. Miller, for Assessor, ami Silas Kirk for Trustee, arc out for the suffrages of * he people. Now let the citizens do w n ?re go to work and elect them, for ,oey will be, unquestionably, the right men in the right places. Melvin M. Go wan, wbo is a candidate for' trustee lu Clay township, is running to success tike a quarter horse. He is the people’s candidate, and the people have a right to say who shall serve them. Mr. Frederick is also a people’s candidate in Clay for Assessor. He is a Republican, and is onj of those true gentlemen w ho knows no filth in politics. For this and lijs special fitness for the place, elect hip* by all means! II. C. Wiggs is one of the best men 111. ', could have been selected for Trustee of Tatoka township. The i.'id of good men, of which he is one, „ic the men who should be entrusted with the affairs of Patoka township. i Let the people see to it that he is * "lect?d, In point of fitness for the Ifi cot Assessor, W. U. Miley is behind none. See t» it that these men are elected, and Pstoka township afS.firs will soon be much Improved. G. W. 'Whitehead is Ilia man to 'act for Assessor iu Madison townup. Why ? Because be is one of . icae man wtio' can and wilt do tlie tor* of the oflSoe with ability aiul -partiality.

Logan Chronicles. And I heard a voice saying unto me: Write and keep au account of the doings of the people;for, behold! some are rile, and that continually; vea, in by-gotie days, a son of Levi (as Lewis tms ii) started to travel from Siickum to Oatsvilic; but, on bis way, he fell among thieves who tried to rob him of all his possessions, and partly succeeded. '’Cut, in after days, remembering it had been written, “A house divided against itself cannot stand, Lewis sprang upon the wall and cried, “Help! Iletp! Thou son of Levi, Help!” Now, it came to pass, t^lien it Wits noised abroad throughout the land, that the llepubltcans were about to unite once more, and by so doing, could probably succeed, there arose great confusion among the Mugwumps. Some cried out, saying, “If v.*e allow them to choose the Trustee and Assessor, then we acknowledge ourselves to be in the wrong; but let us act on this wise: we Will go up to the convention cn masse and choose one of our Mugwump brethren to be Assessor. But some say there is Joe, an old soldier; others say, ‘What care we for Joe, or au old soldier;” We must have John, who is half ami-secret man. So you see be will catclf tl,ose fellows and us, too.’ Now this John dwelletb among us and bard by the city of Oatsville. He is a man of good repute in the land, for he Is comely to look upon? a fluent talker, aud, behold! he keepeth a Jack. So the thing pleased the Mugwumps, and they swore upon (lie palms of tht-ir hands and' cried out, “Great and mighty is John who keepeth a Jack.’’ After these things, they held a caucus en masse. John the Chairmau and eves-dropper arose in their midst, saying, “Brethren, hearken unto me. Let each man play liis part at a game at cards; and 011c arose, saying, •‘Brother, permit us to play at euchre.” Then the cves-dropper said, “Nay, mv brother, we will play at seven-up, for is there not more science iu this game? So that each brother map make a point I will do the dealing. I give the deuce to John the blacksmith; the king to Amon;ttie queen to Porter, for, behold! doth he not love the womeu? the jacK to Bay singer; but, behold! I will give the deuce to my brother Sherman; and to LaCompton, the Joker.” But one arose saying, “The joker is not allow

eel in seven-tip. me eves-oropper says, “Suffer it to be so now, for doth it not become us to fulfill all evil ?” “And to myself, the ten-spot,” so I may hold the game.” So, when John dealt the cards, Bayjsingcr laughed a mighty laugh, and thought surely the signs of the times are blighter, for the Republicans heard that the Mugwumps were coming back. They went:forth to meet them and they put them in the Republican chariott, and brought them safe into the party, and gave them some water to wash their leet, and they anoiuted their heads with oil, and passed the Mugwumps their tobacco. Then Lewis and Porter stood up aud beeoued with their hands and they gave audience. Then they told how they loved the party,yiud how much they had suffcredlor their couduct, and they had returned. So when they had made an end of speaking, the Republicans smote upon their breasts, and jobbed with the cuds of their canes, and stamped with the heels of llieir boots, aud for the space ot one hour aud three-quarters (hey ceased not to ery out, “Groat have been the trials ot our brethren UkAnd they slew( ?)*n ox, seven turn's and a ewe lamb, and made a great feast for the Mugwumps, and bade them welcome; for the Republicans say, ‘We are made glad, aud peradventure they nrill be our near friends, and leave off their wickedness and follow after ur.” For, behold! docs not Doc. cry aloud in the strectsof Oatsviile, “Who is like unto John (he eves diopper? and where can we find another like unto him ?” And it came to pass on the 26th day of tho 3d mouth, called March, that they met at a place of no little repute called Carrs Mill to see who should be Chief Ruler. When they met they chose Lewis, whose Sir-name is Loveless for chairman, aud he delivered a great oratioti amidst loud applause and many broad grins. Amt they chose Wilson, whose given name is James by acclamation, for the Mugwumps say it will not do to have Rill who is sometimes called Carr, for he is ather.inlaw to IIenry,and it behooves us to keep him under our thumb, ’or James has saved-his ro^at, and has pleuty of corn, wheat aud old bacon for his neighbors,1%nd we will fare sumptuously every day until the election.” Then Lewis cried with a loud voice, saying, “Whom will you hare for Assessor? Then the name of Joe, the keeper of fine cattle, and John the half Mugwump, were put before the convention, and they cast lots, aud it fell to Johu. After nominations of less importance, Doc, to whom the eves-dropper gave the Jack, arose and said that the old split in the party reminded him of the quarrel and separation of the man and his rife about which hole a rat ran into. Then the man to whom the evcs-droppe.r gave the joker said it reminded l:im of tbs “nigger’s” dream, who dreamed the white man rode him to heaven, aud when he knocked at the gate, was asked if he was mounted or not mounted; when |ic answered,“mounted,” was told to hitch and come in. And so they went home to see their wives and little ones in great, joys and with much laughter. O Goi. lt I

FRED SMITH. He Concludes that he Can no Longer Ignore the Truth. His Friends Force Him to a Defense o in Print, Which is a “Confession in Riddance,” and no Mistake. lie Draws the Line Like a Good (lot) Editor. ' And ‘‘Cheek b j JTe ,vl» is his reliance far £ access. “Truth crushed to curth will riseasraiu; The eternal years of Ged are hers.” So far as partisanism is concerned, it would be best for the success of.tbe Democrats to let Smith be elected ; for, by so doing', a great many good Republican citizens would administer a rebuke tu tbeir party leaders in the Fall election. As soon as Mr. Smith’s ireenrd was discovered to be so unsavory, some of the Democrats said : “Let him alone. Let his election react on the opposition next Fall.” BtH iin a serious consideration it was decided that a candidate must be put out against Mr. Smith. The Democrats ant! Republicans who favor belief government tor the township said :it would not be morally right to make no effort on behalf of the people’s interest. Hew, then, can this be a personal matter? How can it be a partisan matter when the best of Republicans say they will vote against him ? True, the Democrats cannot elect a man against Mr. Smith, by their own rotes. But notwithstanding this fact, they would not do right to be idle in this affair, and indifferent te the interest of the people. Until last week the truthful charges against Mr. Smith were ignored in the hope that prejudice would elect him. Prejudice may elect him, but it is a bad condition that a municipality is in w hen the election of its pub

lie servants depends upon ilie prejudice of one party against, or ill will of one party for, another. This office is not a political one. No appointments are to be made in party ranks. No employ ments are to be a party question, ile deals with the whole people-, levying their taxes, collecting their money, and using it as he wills. Mr. Smith spent three days, we are told, in helping to get up a reply to the charges that he got pay for four Sundays in the year; that the first one was Aug. 12,1888, at a time when he was paid lor the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12«b, 13th, and 14th. Uc says this was a mistake and that Sunday was charged for wheu it ought to have been a day before'or day later. Now t!>>* Sunday is in the middle of a seyeu days in succession all of which he was paid for at $2 a day, lie says his Sunday charges were for office days and office days came on Fridays and Saturdays and by mistake they were shipped over to Sunday. Lei us see: March, 1 and 2 is for office days, and March, 3, Sunday, is for settling with teachers; July 26and27 were for office days and Sunday, July 28th, wasforwoik on trustee's report. Nov. 31, was for office day and there are but 80 days in that mouth. We print his bills agaiu that you may see the absurdity of his explanations. They will bear much study, [ii his explanation he reminds us of a man who was-ou the witness stand at court and in attempting loavoidcom mittiiig himself’ showed his guilt beyond a doubt. The lawyers called it “confession in avoidance.” If Mr. Smith, in avoiding the charge that he did wrong, ltas not confessed it we can not understand how any one could. Ile says he took from the township money that will be placed back into the township fund and taken from the county fund. Will the county officers thus come to hiB defense ? The argument, which is no more than an attempt to‘create political prejudice, seems to be a Good (let) article, from the attempt that is made to ridicule as well as to stir up a partisan feeling for a man who should never be elected, as every one kuows. As to his Sunday work, he only claims a mistake, and does not say that he will refund the money, though he got pay at $2_a day for seven days iii the week. The amount of cheek in this can scarscly be estimated. In point of his having his money ready to exhibit to a committee of Republicans and Democrats, he does not tell us when he placed the money back into the Citizau’s State Bank, nor who had his tnouey before; he d »es not say I hat he did not misappropiate it, nor dare he do it, for such misappropriation is criminal. The sum of it all is this: No denial of guilt; a confession in avoidance; admission that he got pay for Sunday ; no promise to refund the money ; an attempt to create u prejudice; au acknowledgement that he has done a wrong which he will not nndo;no promise to do better if he Is elected; no denial of misappropriating money; no denial that he got pay for time lie did not serve; no confession of incompetency ; and his whole cry is that the charges are false arid at the same lime acknowledges that they are true. He may make believe that he is

falsely accused, blit there is uo mistake that the people will find out the facts as they are, especially if he continues his raid upon the people's tax money. “You can fool all of the American people a part of the time; it part of the American people a part ;»f the time; but you can not fool ail :if the American people all of the lime.” When he is accosted about this record, be says only that lie has said in he Press all that he has to say on the subject. In that paper he makes a

coufessiou and then says with emphasis that the whole charge ns made in the Dkmockat is false. He may succeed In crushing the irutiTiora while, but not always: “¥ruth crushed to earth will rise again; The eternal years of God are hers.” He may remember well that the people will find the truth, though it. may be when it is too late, aud at a time when he has the advantage of getting at their tax money He has a great surplus, will soon haVe $5,000.00 of the taxpayer’s money. This is more surplus mo ey than tbej township taxpayers will have in their pockets. Ask yourself if it is not true? Do you not know it ? That be did not need to levy this big tax in time from what was turned over to him by bis pigtdceeasor. Although he paid the editor of the News, to state a small amount as turned over to him, he gave his predecessor a receipt which wo«eopied as follows: Petersburg, Ind., April 10.1888. Received ot MalliewMcMmray the sum ot seventeen hundred nine dollars and eight-nine cents (1709 89) as tuuds on hands belonging; to Washington Township. FheB Smith. After all the Press has said or will say this week lor the mam whom the people in their hearts do not want, there is no more than a wave of the bloody rag, and an appeal to the prejudices. This is indeed a sad condition, throwing away fitness foroffice and all that should qualify anyone for a trust. Mr.Smith al so claims that $00 was for the poof and should have been takeu from the county. This $60 added 10 the $58.25 which he charged the county makes $118.25. a big amount ot money tor overseeing the poor of this township. It would seem no mistake, or a strange one, that he should have divided this bill between the county and township. Now you know that Mr. Smith has arranged for a big salary in thefuture and you have no means of judging that he wili not lake it. Judging Ttoru the past it is with the country Republicans whether they will elect Mr. Smith or not. Those in the country will have to say by their votes whether they will abuse themselves, a nil .those in town whether they will abuse; their fellow voters in the township. 'Do as you please, but do not accuse the Demociats of helping to elect Mr. Smith,

Washington, E. Q„ —There has been agroat deal of music in the commith* room of thi House Committee en Ways and Means during tire ast week. The Republicans upo i the committee have been hard at wo •]» trying te make np a tariff bill that 'till please the different elements of the grand army of protectionists without reducing the revenue. ‘‘The only article that I know of added to tho free list by the Republican tariff bill” remarked a high protectionist tins evening, is a kind of grease that conics off a sheeps back and is used in finishing leather.’ In the contest over the sugar duty six of the Republicans on the committee were originally in favor of free sugar, while Major MeKiuley and Mr. McKenna, of California, favored a cut of only fifty per cent. The great battle in the committee has been over this matter of sugar and also over steel rails, and the duty on neither could be settled without a row. It is% said that Andrew Carnegie told Senator John Sherman at the beginning of the session that five dollars a ton w„as all the protection our steel manufactures would need. It is probable however that the committee will insist upon a duty or twelve dolUtrs per ton before the bill passes the House. The committee 4s laboring with might and main to humbug the farmer and that is ail there is abouit it. American hens are to be protected against the pauper hens and ducks of Europe, by a doty of five cents a dozen. The protection* ists claim that four million dollars worth of foreign eggs are now annually consumed in this country. It is intended to offer a futher^ribe to the farmers in the shape of increased duties on beaus, peas, and potatoes and other farm products. Hop:; will be put at twenty cents i.otwithstanding the protest of the brewers against it. Hemp, jute and ax. will pay liberal duties, if any of hem are brought in. Under the new lull the American stik worm will also he protected by large increase in the d ty on raw silk. Meantime, while the Republicans

ot the commute.1 on Ways amrMeans are trying tol'cl the fanners they are joining with all other Republic cans in making immense appropriations' for public buildings throughout the country. It is plainly apparent to every observer that, now that the Republicans have seated enough contestants to have a big majority in the Rouse. “They do not know what to do with themselves. They are responsible of cou rse before thejigople, and they kuow it, for all legislation ; and they are making a pretty mess of it. It is a safe prediction and it would be safe io bet that tlipjiext House will have a Democratic majority of not less than fifty. Next November tlio people will “turn the rascals out” with a vengeance. Like eagles anxious to soar unto the Sun; like unto peacocks which exhibit their plumage, a ioating over their less beautiful contemporaries of the bird family ; like so many hearts panting after the wat« r-brooks, so are the ladies of this :iiy eagerly sleepleslv, tirelessly, feverishly awaiting the dawn of Easter Su uday. Then will they arise and shi te, and give God the glory, for the ineffable gift of His Son ; because on the anniversary of his triumph over Death the devout, woman may praise God, and put on their new dresses.

Best Thing He Ever Saw. The following is an extract from a letter written by Mr. D.A Reynolds, editor and proprietor of the Herald, Lyons, Mich., under date of January 11th, ISBO: “You will observe that I have given your adver-1 tisemeot position on the first page of the: Herald, while other proprietary medicines | have faRd to take the run of the paper. The ; reason for doing this is, that upon receiving j' your “copy” a nnu, her of the cures effected seemed similar to that of which my little son was suffering, a ease of blood poison, or irritable sores breaking- out all over bis body. To-day he is entirely free from disease, and one bottle of Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) did the work. Now this is the reason for giving you the poisition, as I consider Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) the best medicine I ever saw. I Wish you unlimited success in your business.'' The above is a sample of letters which are coming to us all the time. S. S.
