* For Next Vico President, ISAAC P. GRAY. For Next Gov. of Indiana, Wm. e. NIBLACK. ^ItarLT/^wilTwebave e^foric light ? -——1—' *' 1 jy ~ ^ Have the weeds been mowed sulficieut for health ? Quay han assumed a new rote, but he Is still after scalps. “Do we know what we want,” is a subject written on a good deal lately. Yes; we want health, prosperity, and happiness. _ The Hon. Janies J. Ingalls, late Senator of the United States, is writing a book on American politics, and h&sgonc to the .Holy Laud to get his ‘news. ‘ Oh Jerusalem! Do you want Cuba? This is a question every citizen should study, for it may yet be proposed to joiu it to the United States. Cauada “Should also be studied. Would not the farmers make just as much money by sending their surplus wheat to Europe, which reports a failure of crops, as to store it ^n sub-treasuries or to hold it for a rise in prices.? ® The Republican papers, which •never lose the strain, are insisting that the Alliance has again demonstrated, in Kentucky, its close affiliation with Democracy. If the Alliance is closely affiliated in that way, it is under exolleut management. There seems to be very little doubt that Foraker proposes to antagonize Sherman for the Senate; indeed, the fatter admits this to be the case. It would need ouly the defeat of Sherman by suclj a man as Foraker to deprive the> Republicans of Ohio of ‘what little remains of their former glory and prestage, Mr. Clarkson hastens to sav that he is not to be held responsible for the result of the fall elections. But it is clearly his privilege as boss of ihe Republican National Committee to be responsible tpr results, and when he shirks his responsibility in advance he displays an unbecoming unwillingness to go down with his party.

There, is a present disposition toward what is called “common-law marriage." If the maiden moved to Satrimony will take a hasty glance at lackstoue’s Commentaries she will discover that, under the common law, the husband had a right to whip his wife provided the stick used in flagellation was “not larger than his little huger." Tub statement lately put forth by the Treasurer Department declares that the money iu circulation iu this country at present aggregates $23,37 * per capita. Very likely. But out of our 65,000,000 of people there aro a great many who have not as much as )he thirty-seven cents, and are not likely to have much more under prevailing systems. The free-silver Republicans of all ^he new States and the older States of the Pacific Slope are evidently getiug into closer quarters. As it becomes ny>re evident that their party . is to represent the gold bugs next year they are driven to the extremity of saying that these States are free silver but Republican—a curious combination, indeed. Why don’t you come iu and pay up ? Subscriptions are debts that there is ho getting out of. A man cannot even set off property to avoid payment without layiug himself liable to indictment for iraud. We mention this, not because we are afraidof good men, but because we have ou the books several whom we wijl have to 6uc. Wo shall give them due notice and fair warning, and tbeu we shall ... » ‘ . ••». . pse the law,. Commenting upon the effort of Walter Damrosch to get bis imported Lallet-girls past the obstructions of the contract labor law, the Uew York • Jb'nn rises to the serious query: “Were uot the famous families of Vestris and Taglioni artists' to the backbone? Surely Ibis question should be considered from'a general aspect without descending to details. Both the backbone and t)io sternum should s ^ive place to the humeriis.' V Those who have becu most benefited by the new tin-plate tariff are the Manufacturei* in Wales.1 The wise legislator at Washington who passed this tariff act might have thought they were to benefit the American dealer, but for every penny we have made (he Welsh manufacturers have made a dollar.' As soon as the law was passed the manufacturers saw exactly the situation, and took advauhge of it. ' They knew that ‘be America ndcaier would lay in all the slock ho could carry before July 1. To met this increased demand he at once inuioed his prieos/not rejttch at wst i the deinaud increased the prtee d, until on the last purchase i made we had to pay i an advance ng price before the pasthe McKinley hill.

intoxicants alone. From the same source we lcarit to “T,ake » little wine for the stomach’s sake,” although there was never any of that article fit to take tor the stomache’s ache. Ho w do we know that the “a” between “stomach's” and “sake” was not doubled by some emanuensis by mistake? and whi.t proof have we that the wine referred to in the new testament was not the pwcet wine used In those days in the sacrament? We do know that the water w»9 converted into only sweet wine without any aleohol in it. But to Return to my subject, “Temperance and Prohibition.” We have been preaching and teaching temperance in every age. It has grown no faster than the other moral elements. Something, therefore, is vitally wrong. We hnvo not worked on the right plan or on the right principle, or wo have not asked for the right kind of legislation. Which is it? what is it? Let us get right down to the solid facts in the case, and dodge uothihg. Is Prohibition what we want ? If we had prohibition, would our people he any the safer? I auswer this question by saying that a man cannot get; drunk if he cannot get the whisky. It is no difference whether I am a Prohibitionist or not, l the truth I must acknowledge, and Is know this tp bo so. I also know that there are towns in Prohibition Kansas in which the offices do their duty, and that in many towus twice the size of Petersburg there is not as much whisky sold in six mouths as is sold in Petersburg on almost any Saturday after-noon and evening. Yet -I hear some people say that Prohibitiou is a failure in Kansas. It is uot so, it is false. True, there can be some whisky obtaiued in Kausas, sometiraesihere are seen drunken men in Kausas. It is equally true that Indiana has a law against taking humau life. Yet iu this glorious State men do kill one another, suicides are committed, and men aud women often poison their companions and children. Should there be no law against taking human life because it does not absolutely prohibit!1 Should there be no law against selling ^intoxicants because some b#ul men and women will violate the law occasionally ? I have written (he above few thoughts because I want you to think about them. Will you do it ?

Are you for to Do you wgnt the off? *** The man who cau '‘drink or let it alone” always drinks when he don’t let it aloue. *% A man may drink or let it alone, but he cannot driuk and let it alone. See ? *** “Mouongaheln Whisky” and “Jeems River Terbaker” are no longer any credit to an old man, to say nothing of their disgracing a young man. *** * Sow no tobaeco seed and yon will hare none of the filthy weed; do not let whisky be made and we will hgve uo drunkards. *** The whisky meu are organized and on the alert. Be up and doing, ye Christian men and women, or the world will never bo reformed. The liquor men will never help you any. *** -r The man wbo> believes iu a heaven surely cannot sell intoxicants, for he must know he will lose his soul. *** Drinking whisky is an exception to the rnle that there is * time for all things. *** Many a man drinks up more of his own earnings each week than his wife makes at the washing which she does. V* Our large cit ies ate tho cankering sores on the body politic, and the whisky men are the disease germs that make the soreness. *** You would have to hunt with a fine-tooth comb, and then you would not find the mm who has never been bothered by whiisky. V Ask your neighbor to kindly help the temperance cause. V fhe churches in the U. 8. can effect complete Prohibition of the liquor tiafijc in less than a year if thev will do it'.

the country a few weeks ago, of the drowning of a young Fredrick Brokaw, at $1 boron, N. J. He was the son of a wealthy New York merchant; a collage athlete, a society favorite. Sitting upon the lawn in front of his summer residence, l>e heard a cry of distress and looking down toward the shore he saw a girl out in the water beyond her depth. He dashed across the beach and into the water, but the strong undertow and the struggles or the girl dragged him down, and |ie was lost. At about the same time, on the shore of Lake Michigan, at Chicago, there was toiling a poor emigrate, alone, ignorant and friendless. The cry of a boy sinking In the lake attracted his attention. He plunged into the water, but the waves were too hoavy and both went down. The New York Record is raising a fund to build a monument which shall commemorate the heroic deed performed at Elberon. There is no one to undertake a similar memorial for the emigrant, of whom nothing is known except his name Wendell Vand'rah. And yet both alike are heroes, both died* in the noble attempt to savo life. To the ears of the petted child of fortune and the humble son of toil there came a cry, the sound of a human being in danger. The soul of each was moved by the same clear call of duty ; under broadcloth aud homespun throbbed a heart brave and tender; there was no differance in the quality of the heroism that prompted the offering up of a life. What lias the pessimist to say in such cases as this? The seofler is silenced and cyhiesim is disarmed. These are notjsolated cases, and heroism is not an exceptional virtue. It is very seldom that the cry of distress goes unheeded, whether it comes from out ol the waves of the Atlantic or form the depths of the great tide of human offrirs that sweeps on with irresistible force, too oft alas! engulfing frail humanity, Sometimes, in the hurry and bustle of life, the call is too faint and feeble to bo heard, but the vast majority of men and women,, notwithstanding their own great burdens of work and worry and respon-j sibilitv, have ever an ear inclined to the needs of others. Is a child in a burning building ? The rescuer is at hand. Is there suffering by accident or disaster? From every side are willing hands outstretched. Appeals are never made in vain for that charity and assistance which will rescue humanity from the waves of distress and misfortune that are rolling over them, from the undertow of crime and wretchedness thatis^carrying them out to sea. “Am I my brother’s keeper?” is answered in the affirmative mingled a note of triumph for this human fellowship, this brotherhood ofmeu, which prompts the layiug down of life that another may live. It is proof positive of the existanee of that divine spark, that essence of a higher UJXCwhich ever snboiffiiuates the material to the spiritual part of our ■■Hud upon every side. PUffTl of grief over the per. of oue who perishes in the to save another, is

being. * lx is our candid opinion that the people of Pike county, as a whole, will not pay as'much lax under the new law a^dtiey paid under the old. The'Srtffage tax-payer, and from him down to the smallest fax-payers, will each pay less tax than formerly. The extra C ceuts on the 1100 for state purposes is a tax that no one should complaiu of for the State levy of 12 cents op the $100 valuatiou was made many years ago, when Indiana had but one insane asylum and no 'feeble minded institution. Since the the capacity ot the hospital for the blind, the deaf and dumb institution, the reformitory institution, the soldier’s orphau’s home, and ‘llio educat ioual institutions has been increased to keep pace with the iucrease of population. Three additional insane hospitals and a feeble-minded school have been erected and equipped, and are full of unfortunates, maintained at the expense of the State. With a levy of 12 cents it has uot been possi bte for years to maintain the State government and keep these instulions running. Every year the State was short from $700,000,to $800,300, and the money had to be borrowed. In order to support these beuevolent institutions without invoking the assistance of the mouev lenders the last Legislature made a special levy of 6 cents on the $100. Not a tent of money yielded by thissix-cent levy can be expended except for the maintenance of the benevolent and reformatory institutions. It is a tax for the amelioration of the mental aud physical sufferings of several thousand unfortunate human beings, and the man who is mean enough to grumble because he has to pay 6ceuts for every $100 of his wealth to shelter, feed aud clothe these helpless people is not worthy to be called a Demacrat, aud should make haste to join' a Republican club. Yet it would neem that a good many pcoplo would rather couiiutte to borrow money aud pay Interest than to pay 6 cents in i-ash and be rid of it. Such is not business. It Is a mere complaint for the purpose of producing discouutent with the Democratic party if possible. That the Democracy of Kentucky Held its own so nobly and rolled up its usual majority ill the face of such nlds and ii» spite of demoralising Inluences at work is toils everlasting •redli. In most of the local contests f seals in the Legislature, tho Peo)V Party won its victories, where won at all, by the alliance of the f v disaffected ones with the Rcpub-j ans. In>otno counties it drew its te’i almost entirely from the Demo-1 its. The' farmers of Kentucky nost part and with com-! liious, held Iruei

milk at Mils price they make a great tleai more than in selling bntter, besides doing away with all the extra work of churning. The price paid by creameries now for milk ranges front 65c to 75c per hundred, hot Petersburg B & C Factory pays higher than the highest price. Milk cows can be bought and paid for iu milk. Farmers living on railroad, between here and Washington can ship milk down on the train if more convenient than bringing by wagon and it will reach here by seven o'clock in the morning, heavy weight caws cau be purchased for that purpose. Some farmers having tnoro milk than they can use feed it fresh to the hogs. ~Theliiinois State Agricultural College demonstrated this fact by actual experiment that it requires 25 pounds of milk to produce a pound of pork, that amount of milk at the FaetoVy will bring yop 20c whilst the pork will onlv bring three to four cents, ean you nJP»nl it? Farmers never had a better opportunity to make money, and if they would only put half the Amount of energy into it that they do in raising their wheat and corn it would yield them a much larger return.

We desire to say to our citizens, that for years we heve been selling Dr. King's New Discovery lor Consumption Dr.King’s Life Pills, Bucklen’s Arnica Save ami Electric Bitters, and have never handled remedies that sell as well, or that have given such universal satisfaction. We do not hesitate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price, if satisfactory results, do not follow their use. Those remedies have won their great popularity utterly on their merit. J. B. Adams & sou Druggists. No one ever tried Simmons Liver Regulator without being satisfied with its effect. Notice.
