It is “benevolent taxes without representation” now. The “bull pen” horrors in Idaho are not likely to form one of Hanna’s campaign documents. Was it Tally rand or McKinley who, said that language was given us to conceal our thoughts? ' The Senate has practically agreed to kill the French reciprocity treaty in case France refuses to allow its postponement until after the election. Thus vanishes another republican platform promise. The vote on the Porto Rican bill in Congress developed the presence of members with patent reversible minds. They are now°having trouble with their constituencies in endeavor- . ing to explain their votes. Ip the Senate seats Quay, it will have to seat other similar applicants for very shame’s sake, and may expect to see about one-third of its membership holding their posts by executive appointment within a few years. The Now York Tribune, administration supporter as it is, givds a number of frauds perpetrated on the government in connection with‘the Philip- . pines. When the Tribune feels compelled to explain such things they must be pretty bad.

The authorship of the Porto Rican tariff has been traced to Mr. Oxnard of beet sugar fame. The republicans bs^d better take advice and abolish Mr. Oxnard. His influence for evil is immense and hie capacity in this direction is unbounded. Lord Salisbury will soon explain to Parliament the open door negotiations with the United States. This country would be very glad to have him so so. Since Senator Foraker insinuated that there was a quid pro quo granted by Secretary Hay, it has been anxious to know it§ extent. The Senate amendment to the HayPauncefote treaty is a concession to the overwhelming sentiment against the whole convention. It achieves nothing and gains nothing. The United'States is still restricted from fortifications and is only *given the right which it already possesses of defending the * canal on the high seas. Unless the country intends to biSfrd an enormous navy, it is only by fortifications that (he canal can be defended.

General, Wheei.br says that he re-! signed last November, but General ■ Otis has not so notified the Adminis- j tration. It is possible that Aguinaldo has set up a censorship which has stopped Otis’ reports, including his accounts of victory. If so, it would account for the fact that no victories have been reported for a long time. —— The Nicaraguan canal is to be held up until the commission sent south to examine the Panama route can report, until the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is out of the way, and until the treasury has recovered from the drain of the ship subsidy bill—a drain which would build the canal and maintain it for twenty years. The country will hold to a heavy reckoning those who thus deride its will. * The Indiana polls News of a few days ago had the following: “A report comes from Evansville that Congressman Hemenway of the first district is being mentioned there as a probable dark horse for governor and that the friends of Frank B. Posey are alarmed as they think it may be another scheme to beat him out of the vote of his own district. It is said that Hemenway and Posey have not been on friendly terms for a long time and that the latter is taking this means of getting even.” Should Jeems be the dark horse it is hinted that S. Thompson would probably be the dark house for the congressman’s position.

George B. Ashby of this city, wilj be a candidate before the democratic judicial convention of this district composed of the counties of Dubois and Pike, for the nomination of prosecuting attorney. Mr. Ashby is well qualified in every particular to acceptably fill the position to which he aspires, having been in the practice of his chosen profession for nearly fourteen years and stands high as a member of the bar of the circuit court. The democrats of Washington township in convention last Saturday endorsed his candidacy and instructed the delegates selected to vote for him so long as he may be a candidate. The Democrat hopes that he may be successful and secure the nomination of the judicial convention, the date of which has not yet been determined. The democrats of the several townships of the,county have fully organized for the campaign of 1900 by selecting competent members of the county central committee and precinct committeemen. For the most part they are all young men who have taken an active part in campaign work in the past and will now go to work with renewed energy and work for the best interests of the common people. With such men in charge of the work and with the interest manifested in the meetings in their selection it augurs well for the democratic party in Pike county. The new committeemen have the encouragement of their many friends who will aid them in the work they will have to do in the campaign. Saturday the dem-i ocrats will meet at Winslow to select a chairman, vice-chairman and treasurer of the committee. These should be men who are well known in the county and in whom the people will have confidence. Select men who are worthy to fill the positions and the voters will work and ^id them in every possible way. Millions Given Away. It is certainly gratifying to the public to know of one concern in the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffering. The proprietors of Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds, have given away over ten million, trial bottles of this great medicine; and have the satisfaction of knowing it has absolutely cured thousands of hopeless cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all diseases of the Throat, Chest and Lungs are surely cured by it. Call bn the Stearnes Drug Company, and get a free trial bottle. Regular size 50c. and $1. Every bottle guaranteed, or price refunded. I

What McKinley Wanted. “I am for the largest use of silver in the currency of the country. I would not dishonor it; I would give it equal credit and honor with the gold; I would make no discrimination; I would utilize both metals as money and discredit neither; I want the double standard. ”—Congressman Wm. McKinley in 1890. --- Lingering LaGrippe Cough. G. Vacber, 157 Osgood street, Chicago, says: *‘My wife had a very severe case of la grippe, and it left her with a very bad cough. She tried a bottle of Foley’s Honey and Tar and it gave immediate relief. A 50 cent bottle cured her cough, entirely.” Price 25c and 50c. J. R. Adams & Son. '76-Democratic Doctrine-’99. We hold these truths to be self- ! evident—that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness: that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among mejn, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

WINSLOW TRAGEDY. Alfred Gregory Shoo ts Hl» Wife and Then Kills Himself. Winslow was shocked last Thursday night with1 the awful news that Alfred Gregory, who lives about a half mile north of that place, bad shot his wife and then committed suicide. The awful crime took place aboul: ten o’clock that night ait their home I The husband and wife had indulged in j a quarrel for a few days over some trivial matter and that night the husband upbraided his wife for being away from home while he was butchering hogs. He became enraged and securing a revolver shot at his wife twice, the first shot taking effect in her right wrist, and as she turned to run he fired again, the shot taking effect in the back part of the bead coming out at the mouth. The murderer realizing what he had done turned the revolver upon himsel:: and fired, the shot entering the left breast and piercing the heart, death Icing instantaueous. The alarm was given and Doctors Ireland! and Bethell were sent for. They made a hasty examination and administered opiates to restore the woman to consciousness; She was badly injured but the doctors have hopes of her recovery. The family consisted of husband and wife and six | children. The funeral of the murderer took place Saturday. Coroner Rum bit held an inquest Friday.

Brave Men Fall Victims to stomach, liver and kidney | troubles as well as women, and all i feel the results in loss of appetite, poisons in the blood, backache, nervousness}, headache and tired, listless, run-down feeling. But there’s no need to feel like that. Listen to J. W. Gardner, Idaville, Ind. He says: | “Electric Bitters are just the ithing ■for a man when he is all run down, and don’t care whether he lives or dies. It did more to give me new strength and good appetite than anything I could take. I can now eat anything and have anew lease on life.” Only 50 cents, at Stearne’s drug company’s drug store.

Sometime since one of our friends in the city got up during the night having been awakened by some start' ling noise. He stepped out the door to make an investigation and not stop* ping to think for a moment quietly shut the door. After gazing around for a few- moments he retraced his steps when to his horror it dawned on him that he had locked himself out. There was a night lock on that door. The weather was chilly an d he was at that time very scantily attired. His better half was sound asleep and not easily awakened, but he fl ially managed to get in the house, and it was several weeks tefore he would say anything about it. He will prop the door wide open the next time he looks for queer noises.
