The Ideal Paancea.

James L. Francis, Alderman, Chicago, says: “I regard Dr. King's New Discovery as an Ideal Panacea for coughs, colds, and lung complaints, having used it in my family for the last five years, to the exclusion of physician’s prescriptions or oth ;r preparations.” Rev. John Burgus, Keokuk, lowa, writes: “I have been a Minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church for 50 years or more, and have never found anything so beneficial, or that gave me such speedy relief as Dr, King's New Discovery.” Try this Ideal Cough Remedy now.

It is 440 miles from New York to Buffalo. The government pays the New York Central railroad $3,000 per mile for carrying the mail that distance. This is $1,320,000 per annum to that one road. Who doubts that the government could carry that for one-fourth the sum? Suppose it took three trains per day at the rate of 81 per mile per train. This would be but 8481,800 per year. Yet we see them receiving two and five-sevenths times this sum.—Rossvilie Journal.

Tuesday next the tomb and monument of Gen. Grant will be dedicated. The magnificent mausoleum at Riverside, on the outskirts of New York City, where the remains of the great captain, will henceforth be entombed, will be the center of nationai interest and the scene of one of the greatest gatherings of the famous men of this nation. The old world, or the new, contains no more noble a resting place for a nation’s hero than this, and every citizen of the land feels a sense of personal pride in this new proof that republics are not ungrateful.— Farm, Field and Fireside.

Spain is withdrawing her troops from Cuba. Various reasons for the step are given. Gen. Weyler says the revolution is at an end, but this will not be accepted as true by the men who are engaged in raising funds for the insurgents, and who declare that Gomez will carry forward the war until victory is won. Another reason given is that the government can no longer pay the soldiers in the field, and that they are going home to be discharged from the service. Spain’s are well understood and the latter reason is doubtless the correct one.— Ex.

Dear Bros: I have just received and read with great inter est “The Archer” for April. I am anxious to learn all about it.

I served in the last legislation of this state as senator from the Bth Sentorial District and I am confident that the People’s Party is the purest and feels the need of the suffering masses, but just how to get them has not yet been solved. Trusting that kind Providence may devise some plan in the near future and hoping that you have it, I am Very truly, G. L. Hardison. Sen. Bth, Dist., N. C.

The bill in the Illinois Legislature to create a board of pardon will undoubtedly pass, as, we believe, it ought to. Why put upon one man the responsibility of life and death? If the Governor is sympathetic, and exercises the pardoning power, he is called an anarchist and charged with trying to curry favor with the criminal classes; if he is hard hearted, or takes a conservative view of his right to over-ride the verdicts of courts and juries,' he is then attacked as without humane instincts. It is often too much of a burden to put upon a single man to decide whether a fellow-being shall live or die. The pardoning board can give ample time to the cases, and whatever its decisions may be, they do not become a public scandal or a scource of injury to the reputation of a high official. Unconditional surrender, is the only terms those famous little pills known as DeWitt’s Little Early Risers will make with constipation, sick headache and stomach troubles. A. F. Long’s.

THE PEOPLE’S PILOT.

FOR THE FREE AND UNLIMITED COINAGE OF SILVER AND GOLD AT THE PARITY RATIO OF SIXTEEN TO ONE.

RENSSELAER IND., THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1897.

A handful of disaffected persons at Lowell have purchased a press and outfit for a new paper, and with a young man named Hepp as editor, will attempt to do up Bro. Ragon, of the Tribune. Spite work never succeeds, and the citizens who are backing the enterprise will only have to live a few months to find this fact out. The first copy of the new paper will appear soon.—Crown Point Register.

Jury Failed to Agree.

In the case of ex Sheriff Stoddard and Mrs. Lydia Walgamot, who were tried last \veek at Valparaiso charged with the death of Grace Crowell,of this county, the jury failed to agree. The jury was out seventeen hours and it is said stood from start to finish at six to six. The case will come up again for trial at the June term.—Delphi Journal.

The New School Idea.

The Indianapolis Journal endorses the new school idea in the following editorial: “The Chicago Record recently gave an account of a new school system which has been adopted in many of the rural townships in the Western Reserve of Ohio. One township in which there were seven school districts is taken as an example. The seven little school houses have been abandoned and in their stead 'a fine two story brick school house has been built in the center of the township, where the pupils of the township assemble and are divided into grades as in the public schools iu larger places. To insure this result, free transportation has been provided by the township. Bids are called for each year to furnish transportation in large covered wagons which carry twentyfive pupils. The wagons drive through the township, the driver sounding a horn as he approaches the homes of pupils that they may be ready. # If the pupil is not ready the wagon passes on and a tardy mark is made. As a rule, the tardiness is small, indeed. It has been found that the system costs a third less than that of the old district schools. The wagons cost $6.05 a day.” The new method is worth considering by scores of townships in Indiana. When a cold is contracted, cure it at once. One Minute Cough Cure will set you on the road to recovery in a minute. It will cure pneumonia, bronchitis, croup and all forms of lung aijd throat troubles. A F. Long, druggist.

Township Trustee Law.

The Duncan act of the recent general assembly, to guard the expenditures of township trustees, will be taken before the Supreme Court for interpretation. Some trustees are ignoring the new law and among others there is a difference of opinion as to how far-reaching the act is. The question that is of most concern to those interested is whether the law contemplates the auditing, by the county commissioners, of all accounts of trustees or of time warrants only. Soon after the law was passed the superintenpent of public instruction, in answer to many inquiries, issued a circular letter announcing that the law simply required that time warrants be taken before the county board of commissioners for approval. The question has since been brought before the attorney-general in an informal way and he is inclined to the opinion that the law provides that accounts of every character shall be approved by the county commissioners. The language of the act is: “The board of commissioners of each county in this state shall constitute an auditing board to audit the warrants of the various township trustees within the county.” The interpretation hinges upon the meaning of the word “warrant.” The superintendent of public instruction has taken the view that a warrant is a promise to pay in the future a negotiable, interest-bearing paper. The other view is that a warrant is a voucher or au attestation of an account, and that

under the law the township trus tees must submit all of their accounts to the board of county commissioners for approval.— Monticello Press. It should be made a matter of public knowledge that DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve will speedily cure piles of the longest standing. It is the household favorite for burns, scalds, cuts, bruises and sores of all kinds. A. F. Long, druggist. The erection of a Catholic church in Lowell is now an assured fact. The promoters say that when done the dimensions will be 80 feet long by 38 feet wide with a tower 100 feet in heighth, and that it will be one of the finest and most modern buildings of its kind in the county if not in the state.—Lowell Tribune.

At their semi annual confer ence the Dunkards of Delware county adopted resolutions advising members against emigrating to the Dakotas, and otner western lands. A large colony moved there some time ago, but from accounts, they have not succeeded in improving their condition and would, without exception, be glad to get back to old Indiana again, had they but the means. Personal. —The gentleman wYio annoyed the congregation last Sunday by continually coughing, will find instant relief by using One Minute Cough Cure, a speedy and harmless remedy for throat and lung troubles. A. F. Long, druggist.

One cannot pick up an illustrated newspaper nowadays without finding upon its pages a picture of an “air ship” descending in a field, while in the back ground may be seen the farmer’s team leaving that locality at a rate of speed, which while not as fast perhaps as the best record is nevertheless unusually good for an ordinary farm team. If added to the arduous task of keeping an eye out for covered cars, threshing machine engines and snide agents, the farmer is compelled to pursue his labors with the unpleasant knowledge that at any moment some develish aerial contrivance is liable to descend on his team and stampede it into the next township while perhaps he- himself has a leg pulled off, then is his position in life made doubly unpleas ant. —Morocco Courier.

Postal Savings Banks.

It has been almost a hobby with this journal that our country should have Postal Savings Banks. The argument from safety, from convenience and from adaptation to all classes and all communities—affording to rural districts the same opportunities as to cities—and the argument as to the stimulus to economy and saving which would come from an absolutely safe place for the money—all these have been presented over and over again in these columns. The failure of another savings bank in Chicago—the Globe—emphasises anew these arguments. It ought to attract the attention of our congressmen and all who have access to them. The Chicago Record has taken up the subject and says: “The case of the Globe Savings Bank is another powerful argument for the establishment of a national system of postal savings banks. The depositor in those banks would have the absolute assurance that so long as the government lasted 1 his deposit would be safe. Let the money-saving citizen have an opportunity to put his money where he can keep it.”

There is one ground for complaint against the Globe Savings

Bank beyond that pertaining to the ordinary bank failure. It was the keeper of the funds of the Illinois University. There is not only a question as to the securities on which the funds of depositors in general were loaned, but the funds of the State were left in the keeping of an official whose bond may not prove adequate. All this trouble to the University and all similar risks in the future, might be avoided by establishing United States Postal Savings Banks. - Farm, Field and Fireside.

THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS

A Short History of Indiana’s Great* est Newspaper. Whatever excels interests. The loftiest mountain, the longest river, the largest city. Yet keener interest attaches to the greatest achievements of men —in oratory, statesmanship or war. The sharpest contest these days is be- ; tween newspapers, demanding the I greatest diversity of gifts, of knowledge land sagacity. In other fields the decision is doubtful, but in journalism the popular verdict is practically registered each day in the subscription list—a sort of Australian Ballot System. This test shows The Indianapolis News to have more bona fide readers than any other four Indiana Dailies combined. This makes good the above title head. The whole State nn.v indt* 1 ■' nridc in another point scored by The News: it is conceded to have move v u'cuianon proportioned to population than any. other American Daily. Whether this signifies greater enterprise in The News or a more intelligent reading people, or both is a question. No phenomenon exists without its adequate cause. The News itself gives two main reasons as follows: (1) When The News' began, twentyeight years ago, every other paper had Its political alliance, sla'ds'ilj cnpoua’.ng ono party with Its principles anil candidates against all others, looking to that party in turn lor support and patronage; tlie highest ambition was the organship of Its party In Slat. . district, county or neighborhood. Tin Newt 'believed that such relationship not only biased the editorial mind, but unconsciously, If not consciously, tinted and ootoi'ml tha news columns, leading to the magnifying of what tended to help, arid mlncmlzlnjf cr suppressing what hurl the party The News, therefore, swung loose from tUJ entanglements and blazed a new way absolute Independence, not, neiuiUtility, which means the oppo."’ :e; criticised men or no ires of either party; always took sides, with a choice oven 'between evils; da tlngulslioil between the freedom aud -lavery of Independence; not hesitating to ally Itself with either party In turn to bring -In iv forum or break down abuses. Whit this course meant no political patronage and usually the anger of both parti, - at the an mu time. It found marvelous response In the universal American instinct of Independent thought. It compelled respect arid opened the door for a:; Prs In the ranks of all parties. Tills meant preponderance of circulation, which. In turn, moans preponderance of advertising. (2> Tho News wus the first 2-cunt papor in the West, all others G cents. Against universal prophecy that it could not live at such n price, It Is now 25 per cent, larger, taking tho s' week day Isnueo together, than any other Indiana dally, and sells at 10 cents a week delivered anywhere liy carrier or mall, postpaid, against 15 cents a week, which Is charged for the next best Indiana dully. No other paper In the State, ut whatever price, now pretends to furnish eiiunl quantity and scope of intelligence—a volume of telegraphic news and correspondence from all quarters of the globe; a harvest of State happenings; mnrkit quotations for tho farmer and business man, averaging from seventeen to twenty-four hours ahend of all morning papers; abstracts of Supreme Court decisions for the legal profession; something for everybody—in amount to stagger credulity. It is estimated that not less than 150,000 people read The News every day. It maintains for the people cheap rate “Wanted” columns for advertising, by which millions of property changes hands annually without the owners ever seeing each other. Almost all have something to sell, buy, trade, or rent: a horse, cow, wagon, farm, mill or store, etc., etc. F-xpress it in as few words as possible, then count every word and send as many cents as there are words tiff The News and see the result.- Or if preferred write out what you want and they will phrase the advertisement for you and return with the price.
