Commissioner Tabor is pushing the name of Dexter Jones for commissioner for the third district, on the ground that Mr. Jones fully endorses the policy pursued by the present board. The argument is certainly sound (?) logic. It is to be hoped that the senate will speedily pass the Wilsbn bill and relieve the country of the uncertainty which always attend a proposed change in the tariff laws. The income tax feature is commendable and the same might bo said of the internal revenue feature, while the tariff schedule proper cannot be worse than that which bears the name of McKinley. At the present rate of expenditures the county treasury will soon be bankrupt. The incompetency of the present ' board will make a higher levy necessary next year. Why should it be made a crime to be a citizen of Jasper county, and there are citizens in this county and elsewhere (?) who endorse this policy. What Jasper county needs is brains, not egotism, in the financial management of the affairs of the county. In spite of the stormy day, Saturday a good majority of the committeemen of the different townships of the county met at the court house and reorganized the People's Party County Central Committee, for the coming campaign. L. L. Ponsler was chosen chairman; W. D. Pringle, secretary and treasurer. March 28th was the time set for holding the county convention. The official call for the convention will appear next week.

Mis.si iSii'Pi is coming to the front and will be a Populist state by November, 1894. We glean from the Alliance Vindicator, a Populist paper, of the 19th, that a “dead lock” is on in the legislature’ in the electiou of a Unite ! States senator to fill th ' vacancy caused by the resignation of Senator Withal, with Burkett, the Populist candidate almost in the lead of the numerous candidates for that high ofThe Democrats are evidently badly demoralized in that state. The Republican party, when it reorganized its Central Committee, attempted to unify all factions and interests. It made a few foreign born citizens members of its committee, while it courted the support of the A. P. A. by placing several of the outspoken advocates of that organization on the committee. The cash end ,of the strings was fixed to pull when necessary by making a representative of each ■of the banks and note shavine institutions a member of that body. It is a case of turning loose the sheep, goats, and •swine to jfeed from the same ■LWigh. Will that committee that recently went to Barkley township plea&e »rqport to jthe Republican convention all ,the (pledges and promises civen $9? which it' % I

pledged the Republican party of Jasper county. Has the Republican party of Jasper county so far degenerated that the bosses make the offices to be filled a question simply of barter with a fixed price? Will the honest Republicans of Jasper county submit to do the dancing act to the bosses’ music. Honest effort and true worth to take a back seat because some man must be looked after? Let the Republicans answer at the county convention. Last week’s Republican showed us that three of our county officers are willing to remain at their post, serving the county, even though the fee and salary law requires them to to work for nothing. We have understood that the sheriff has actually had to pay the county for the privilege of living in the jail and feeding prisoners. Our clerk and auditor say they are willing to take their offices for four years more at half the salary they have been receiving. Here arc three men who act from principle, who serve the people not for pay. Talk about the selfishness of man, say every one has his price, but here are three men in Jasper county that love their country, that live only to labor for the public good. They have not been called, ordered, forced or requested to continue this money losing work, but they have voluntarily, yes actually asked to be allowed to still bear the burden and endure the toil of another term. While we rejoice in this exhibition of patriotism and self-denial, we think our county is not needing such sacrifice just at present—we are not willing to ride a free horse to death, if it can be avoided, so we think somebody else should spit on their hands, step up, take hold, and give Coover, Murray and Hanley a rest.

The high “tariffites” always urge as an excuse for a high protective tariff that it is for the benefit of the laborer, yet, not one of them pay one half the amount of the tariff tax on what they produce to their laborers. If Congress should give them a high tariff and then compel them to pay the amount of it to thier laborers, such a howl as has never been heard would go up from MAINE to the GOLDEN GATE. With twenty-five Democratic Legislators in one southern state going over to the Populists in less than a month it looks like that party was getting in a fair way to be “wiped out” again next fall. We hope it will, for one more “wipe,” such as it has been getting, will about rid the south and west.of her two greatest curses. Our “infant” duties, have nearly all sulked because Uncle Sam. having tired of dandleing them on one knee, changed them 'over to the other. If allowed to stand alone awhile, they could most likely get along with a little less parental cate.

A HOUSEHOLD TREASURE.

D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N. Y., says that he always keeps Dr. King’s New Discovery in the house and his family has always found the very best results follow its use; that he would not be without it, if procurable. G. A. Dykeman, Druggist, Catsklll. N. Y., says that-Dr. King’s New Discovery is undoubtedly the best cough remedy; that lie has used it in his family for eight years, and it has never failed to do all that is claimed for it. Why not try a remedy so long tried and tested. Trial bottles free at F. B. Meyer’s Drug Store. Regular size 50c. and *I.OO. Andrew Lang, J. T.

FROM WASHINGTON.

An Interefltlnv Batch of New* From the Capitol. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Feb. 16, ’94. Can women vote for members of congress under the Constitution? Representative Pence, of Colorado, says they can, and he has introduced a bill providing that the right of citizens of the United States, of either sex, above the age of 21 years, to register and to vote for such representatives shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex. Mr. Pence contends that women have always had a constitutional right to vote for congressmen and that they have been unfairly denied the privilege, and the delegates to the twenty-ninth annual convention of the National American Women’s Suffrage Association, now in session here, endorse the contention and propose to lend their aid toward getting the bill acted upon by congress at this session. The house judiciary committee only the other day turned down a bill introduced by Representative Bell, of Colorado, providing for a woman suffrage amendment to the Constitution, but that committee will not get a whack at Mr. Pence’s bill, which will go to the committee on the election of president and vice-presi-dent and representatives in congress. • • • Representative Bland’s bill for the coinage of the seigniorage in the treasury has had a majority in its favor from the first, but the minority composed of Democrats and Republicans under the leadership of ex-Speaker Reed have sturdily fought it all the week, Mr. Reed at one time causing Mr. Bland to lose his temper to such an extent that the authority of the Sergeant-at-arms had to be invoked to restore order. It has been to a certain extent a revival of the silver fight of the extra session. It is not the present bill that the anti-silver men really oppose; it is their fear that its passage will soon be followed by a bill for the free coinage of silver, that makes them fight. Mr. Bland has such a bill now in the hands of the coinage committee, of which he is chairman. • • • Postmaster General Bissell did not allow the Honduras Lottery Company, said to be merely a change of name and location on the part of the old Louisiana Lottery, to get fairly started before he put it on the fraud list and notified* the postmasters at the following cities: Port Tampa City, Tampa Bay and Tampa, Fla.; Mobile, New Orleans, Galveston, Laredo, El Paso, and San Francisco, not to deliver registered letters or pay money orders to Paul Conrad, president of the National Honduras Lottery Company, the Graham Printery or L. Graham & Sons, and to return all registered letters so addressed to the senders after stamping them “fraudulent.” The postmasters at New York, New Orleans and San Francisco have been directed not to issue money orders payable outside the United States to parties known to be cohnected with the Honduras Lottery. • • • Senator Gray, of Delaware, is entitled to the credit of having made the best defense of the administration’s Hawaiian policy. He spoke during a portion of two days and unquestionably made the most of the materials at his disposal, but it must have occurred to him several times that some of it was “mighty poor” material. Senator Morgan is at work upon the report that is to be made to the senate of the investigation made by the committee on foreign relations and he hopes to make it of such a nature that it will be signed by every member.of the committee, but others are not sanguine of his success, although it would make a very desirable and patriotic ending of the whole affair for the senate to adopt some sort of a resolution unanimously. • • • A week ago it was said that the sub-committee in charge of the tariff bill would report that bill with amendments to the full senate committee on finance during the past week. Now, members of the sub-committee say that the bill will certainly be reported to the full committee early next week. It is not the making of a large number of changes that has caused the unexpected delay, but the difficulty in reaching an agreement as to sugar, iron ore, coal and several other articles. It is certain that a

duty will be put upon several articles that the house bill puts on the free list. In fact, a senator who has been in conference with the sub-committee told me that it was fully settled that coal would be put upon the dutiable list, but that the amount of duty had not yet been agreed upon. The income tax men are a little shy of the proposal to put a duty on sugar, as they fear that the income tax feature might then be dropped as unnecessary, but others say that both will be necessary iu order to raise the money to meet the obligations of the government. The committee refused to grant hearings, but its members are compelled to listen individually to their constituents who call on them, and their name is legion just now.

Grover’s Sermon From the White House.

Morgan’s Buzz Saw. And seeing how the multitudes had voted for him he cast aside his fishing pole and went up into the White House. And when he was set, and had tapped a fresh bottle of beer, he opened his mouth and taught his disciples, saying: Blessed are the poor; for they shall be poorer. Blessed are the rich; for they shall be made richer, and shall taste of the good things of this world. Blessed are those who expect nothing; for they shall not be disappointed. Blessed is the campaign liar; for he is our main dependence. Blessed are the weak; for they shall be kicked off the face of the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger; for they shall have plenty of company. Blessed are the traitors to labor organizatios; for they shall inherit the fat offices in the land. Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and peisecute you for my sake; for ye shall eat of official pie at my hand. Blessed is the man who will bring me another bottle of beer; for this one is all gone. Blessed is the man who contributes to the campaign fund; for he shall receive back an hundred fold more than he gave. Blessed are the politicians; for we are in the same boat. Blessed is the thief; for he shall have abundant opportunities to steal. Blessed is the lobbyist; for he pays well, and he shall have the fat of the land. Blessed are the bankers; for theirs is the kingdom of this earth. Ye are the salt of the earth; therefore salt down everything in sight. Ye are the light of the world; for you carry torchlights in every campaign. Let your torchlights so shine before men, that they can see the rooster on your hat, and glorify me, who art your political father. Think not that I. am come to destroy the law or the trusts; I am not come to destroy but to fulfill that which the Republicans did enact. Whoever shall refuse to carry out the financial policy of the Republicans shall be called the least in the democratic party; but whosoever shall strive to carry out that policy the same shall be great in the party. For I say unto you that unless your friendship for Wall Street exceeds the friendship of the Republicans, ye shall in no case be retained in office. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; but I say unto you, build big guns, and shoot the everlastin’ stuffiu’ out of them who don’t walk the chalk line. But agree quickly with thy adversary if he is stronger than you. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery. Lay not up for yourselves treasuies upon the earth, but put them in the bank or invest them in bonds, or in some trust, where other thieves can not break through nor steal. My experience with Maria Halpin is, that it is very good advice, but rather difficult to be governed by. This question is of a local character and I think we had better refer it back to the Congressional districts. Breckenridge may be able to throw some light on it. Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not swear; and I say unto you, thou shalt not swear at anything but the Populists and the ash hopper. Give unto him that asketh of thee; give him something, if

nothing hut a licking. To him that would borrow of thee turn not away, but charge him “all the traffic will bear”. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, love" your enemies, even tiie Republicans, and hate the Populists, your neighbors. Take heed that ye provide soup houses for the poor, for a hungry man is liable to blow you up witn dynamite. After this manner shall ye pray; Our political father which art in Wasnington, Cleveland be thy name. Tny Congress come, Thy will be done, in the regular sessions as in extra ones. Give us this day our usual cussing. Forgive us our political sins, even as we forgive the Republicans who sin against us. Read us not into the temptation of riches but deliver us into poverty, for thine is the kingdom, the power, the offices, and the glory, forever. Amen. Morever if ye are fast let it not be known, but appear unto men (and women) as though ye are not fast. Keep your face and hands clean. Bring me another bottle of beer. Wherever your treasure is there will your votes be also. No man can serve two masters, therefore you had better cut loose from everything else and do as I command ye to do, for verily I say unto you unless ye do this thing ye can not enter in to the good things of my kingdom. Bring me another bottle of beer Take no thought of the people, but feather your own nests. The people have not got half as much sense as the fowls of the air, which provide for themselves. But seek ye first to do my will, and I will give the offices into thy hands, and the salaries thereof shall be thine, and thou shalt eat of the fat of the land. Verily I say unto you, we have got a soft snap. Let us hold onto it. When you get a bird, pick it. Take every feather, for you may not catch it again. Let us open another bottle of beer.

Ten days loss of ti me on account of sickness and a doctor bill to pay, is anything but pleasant for a man of a family to contemplate, whether he is a laborer, mechanic, merchant or publisher. Jas. O. Jones, publisher of the Leader, Mexia, Texas, was sick in bed for ten days with the grip during its prevalence a year or two ago. Later in the season he had a second attack. He says: “In the latter case I used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy with considerable success, I think, only being in bed a little over two days. The second attack I am satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first but for the use of this remedy.” It should be borne in mind that the grip is much the same as a very severe cold and requires precisely the same treatment. When you wish to cure a cold quickly and effectualy give this remedy a trial. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F. B. Meyer, Druggist. Subscribe for the Pilot.
