OFFICE Bitell Building, corner Laporte and Center Streets. Entered at the Postoffice at Plymouth, Indiana as second-class matter. Plymouth, Ind., September 3, '08. "The Democratic party is to be tried by what it has said, and the Republican party by what it has done," was one of the pertinent points made by James E. Watson Republican candidate for governor, in his speech at Fort Wayne. 4 Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, says if the Democrats elect Bryan and a majority of the lower house of congress nothing can be done -with the tariff because two-thirds of the senate is Republican and will juat laugh ai any tariff hill made by Democrats. j Works of the Brewery Trust. The Indianapolis News, which has been arrayed against the Republican ticket, admits that the brewery trust is trying to elect legislators hv Indiana and control the politics of the state. The News says: Starting at Madison ana extending down the Ohio river al most to Evansville, the Louisville brewery trust is doing business And in addition to the business of selling beer, the trust is taking a part in politics in this State, is contributing to the fund to handle the dfsteputable element on election dav and, abo-ve all, th trvst is standing for iha vc :uliar Kind of "personal Iii erf with which the neoole of the a Hoosier state are so familiar. T he . ou.sville brewerv trust, iintil recently, controlled the pol itics of Louisville and, for thai n.attcr. it had a hand in shj'. ng the political affairs of all parts o Kentucky. The business of th trust -was to seel beer. All that it does is centered about that one proposition. The most powerful influence in the politics of Louisville for more than ten vears was that of the saloon and brewery. This ele ment elected the officers whose duty it "was to enforce the laws ami conisequently the laws were not enforced. It appointed the police that were supposed to protect the a A a lives and property of the citizen It elected the judges to con st rue the law. It drew the grand juries am' the petit juries. Arid there were set-up grand juries and fixed pet it juries. There "were the criminal law yers. Who has not , heard o Aaron Kohn ? The pooole had to contend with the "prominent citizen" am1 the political banker. They had the same old "eagle with his eye on the sun" down here, and in Louisville "labor was busy and trade was active.". , The liquor element controlled elections in Louisville by the use of the same class of depraved whites artd blacks the brewers of Springfield used to bring about 'their political ends. The brewery and saloon fixed the amount ol license thiatthey should pay; in every detail, for years, Louisville wis a despotism, rukfd absolutely by the saloon and frewery interests. Of course, the time came when the people revolted. But the , brewery trust is still in existence and is 'trying to regain its lost ground in Kentucky, and at thf ;same time plan-t its claws in Indiana. Signs of Better Times. Gold is pouring into the nation's coffers at the rate of a million dollars day from customs receipts, a source that indicates anticipation of a revival oi business as these duties- are paid on goods in bond that are wanted lor tne lODDinc: trace, inere 1 also a revival in internal revenue receipts that was not expected quite so soon and merchants from .all parts of the country are in market preparing for what they believe will be a brisk fall trade. It has been said with entire truth that the recent panic was purely mentil in its characteristics and this analysis is accepted ifor want of a better one. There certainly was no financial reason for a slump at the time it took place and that fact was discovered very quickly, but the mental depression had done its work and though the scare was over long ago business is just fairly beginning to recover its tone. It is becoming an old story to say that crops - are large and prices are high, but it is true and it should be sufficient ground on which to predicate a forecast of the business of the fall. Measured by this guide, which has been quite infallible irr the past, the outlook for business is dependent only upon a revival of industrial conditions and this seems assured to a considerable degree. One peculiar feature of the situation is that conditions do not seem to be materially affected by the political campaign, something that has always heretofore carried before ft a feeling of dread.

RAILWAY ACT IS UPHELD
FEDERAL COURT OF AP PEALS HOLDS THAT GOVERNMENT I S RIGHT IN ITS CONTENTIONS AS TO COUPLINGS. Two sweeping opinions, notewot thy in that the decisions of the lower courts were reversed in ull in each instance, were hand ed down by the Lnited States court of appeals at St. Louis Monday sustaining the position of the government against the railroads in the matter of the safety appliance law of congress. The cases decided were those of he government against the Atch ison, Topeka & Sante Fe railroad company and of the "government against the Denver & Rio Grande company. By these decisions, the court ol appeals abrogates the common law rules of "reasonable care, that have heretofore governed and behind which the railroads sought shelter, and upholds in full the act. of congress, which, the opinion holds, now totally supplant the common law rules. In the two cases decided, dineren t- rounds ot delense were tried, that the railroads might contest against the safety appli ance act from every possible point. The Denver &'Rio Grande case was argued before the lower court on demurrers, while tne Sante Fe case was tried by a jury, The railroads won both decisions in the lower courts. The syllabus in the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe case lavs down the new rule of law under the a of congress as follows t 4The safetv appliance act of congress places a railway com-; pany in the situation in which it is found: in absolute duty to maintain the prescribed coupling appliances and is not satisfied by reasonable care. It is believed the decisions will hcrve a wide effect on railroad suits at law in the future. . I Sherman Talks to Veterans at ,Utica. At Thursday's meeting of the Oneida Veterans' Association James S. Sherman, Republican candidate tor Vice-President, delivered an address, which, he said was not intended to be a political speech. Mr. Sherman said he did not attend the reunion as a candidate for office, but as a comrade by adoption. He spoke in part as follows: "We are today in a condition of profound peace with all the world. Would that that condition might continue without end, but the most sanguine can hardly have such expectations. It is appropriate and natural that in time of peace we give thought to in dustnal problems. We do not give thought mainly to commercial progress, and yet a glance at our annual appropriation bill shows that year after year we arc placing our army and our navy on a firmer foundation, for we are constantly preparing for the war which- we hope will never come We believe that our surest guar anty of peace is found in perfect preparation for war. "Mav I repeat the words of your comrade, President Harri son, spoken before the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco, m 1892: 44 We will pursue the paths of peace. We are not a war like nation. All our instincts, all our history, are in the lines of peace. Onlv intolerable aggres sion, only the peril of our irtstittition.'of the flag, can thoroughly arouse us. ith capability for yjir on land and sea unexcelled by any nation in the world, we are smitten with the love of peace. We would promote peace of this hemisphere by placing judiciously some large guns alxnn the Golden Gate simfly for saluting purposes, and yet they should be of the best modern type.' "And so let me, gentlemen, .give expression to my thought in wrds uttered on another occasion ,that we should at all times maintain such an army and such a navy as will be the sure guaranty of the protection of American citizens and American rights everywhere, and be at the same time an omen of peace; that we should at every exposed point be so fully protected that no power on earth would wish .to molest is "Let the uppermost thought of the' day be of peace rather than of war. Let us glory in the commercial progress of our country and the happiness of our people. Let us encourage strife foi: good government and good citizenship. Let us stimulate the 'effort, not alone to advance our welfare at home, but to give example to good government and good citizenship to the peoples of the earth. Let us continue to elevate mankind in general by raising still higher our own standard. Warsaw Man is Missing.

WARNS BAKERS TO CLEAN UP UTENSILS IN MANY PLACES CAKED WITH DIRT AND NEVER WASHED PROSECUTION MAY FOLLOW. Mr. W. E. Hlakely, chief of the State department of inspection, is sending out letters of warning to the proprietors of bakeries in Indiana. Inspection of a number f filaces recently has proved, it is stated, that there is a woeful disregard for cleanliness in many such establishments. In all of these places inspected the proprietors have been allowed from five to ten days in which to make changes, and if the changes are not made prosecutions will follow, it is stated. "Conditions are very unsatisfactory in many of the bakeries of the state," said D. F. Spees, chief deputy inspector, who has been looking in on the Indianapolis hake shops for several days. "The dough pans are caked with dirt and the .utensils, it seems, are seldom, if ever wished." Mr. Specs stiys also, that there is a lack of screens for the windows and doors in many places. as a result flics are thick, and in some places even the spiders. I bugs "and roaches hold high car nival among the breadstuffs. Mr. Spees says that the sanitary con ditions of many bakeries have been improved. In the letters which are being sent out, Mr. Blakely orders that hereafter all dough troughs.bread 1xxes. steam boxes, pans and cupboards shall be well and thoroughly scraped where necessary and kept washed clean, and that all woodwork of doors and win dows must be painted and kept washed clean with soap and water.' The proprietors of the bakeries are also warned that the deputy inspectors have been instructed to make close Knspection an'd to prosecute all persons or Trms neglecting or refusing to keep the furniture, floors, side walls and ceilings in a clean and sanitary condition as' the law requires The penalty for violation of the law in this respect is for the first offense a fine of not lestf than $10 or more than $50; second offense a fine of not less than $50 or more than $100: and third ottense, a fine of not less than $200 or im nrisonment for not more than sixty days, or both. The State department, is handi capped bv not haivng enough in spectors, but an effort will be made to see that law is observed by the proprietors of the bakeries. It is hardly possible with the present force of inspectors to visit each bakery more than once a year. The department believes that the best interests of the pub lic would be conserved by an in spection at least once each month.

U.S. DISPENSATORY
Describes the Principal Ingredients Contained In Pe-ru-na. Are we claiming too much for Peruna when we claim it to be an effective remedy for chronic catarrh ? Have we abundant proof that Peruna is in reality such a catarrh remedy ! Let us see what the United States Dispensatory says of the principal ingredients of Peruna. Take, for instance, the ingredient hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonic dyspepsia (catarrh of the stomach), chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhal jaundice (catarrh of the liver), and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs. It is also recommended for the treatment of various forms of diseases peculiar to women. Another ingredient of Peruna, corydalis formosa, is classed in the United States Dispensatory as a tonic. So also is cubebs classed as a stomachic and as a tonic for the mucous membranes. Cedron seeds is another ingredient of Peruna, an excellent drug that has been very largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty years. The seeds are to be found in very few drug stores. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as a bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases as a substitute for quinine. Oil of copaiba, another ingredient of Peruna, is classed by the United States Dispensatory as a mild stimulant and diuretic. It acts on the stomach and intestinal tract It acts as a stimulant on the genito-Liinary mem branes. Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dysentery and diarrhea, and some chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys. .

v CAR SURPLUS IS REDUCED TWENTY-EIGHT THOUS: AND TAKEN FROM LIST OF IDLE S 253,003 CARS ARE STILL BEING UNUSED. Chartas, 1. Riley, sscretary of the Indiana Railroad Commission has received from Arthur Hale, chairman of the committee on car efficiency of the American Railway Association, a complete report on the surplus of cars in the United States and Canada on August IV. The immediately pre ceding report of this committee was made for July 22. It i's shown by the report just issued that there was a decrease of 28,G18 in the number of surplus cars during the last fortnight. Of the decrease, 7,708 are box cars, 12,041 gondola cars and 1,'JIO flat cars. The total surplus on August .10 was 253,003. The most marked decrease in surpluses was in coal gondola and hopper cars. On July 22 the surpus of this class of cars amounted to 125,739 ; on August 15) the surplus was only !)?,5Q0. This decrease is due in part to t he greater number of cars "used in the movement of coal. The decrease in the surplus of flat cars was only slight, the number on Julv 22 being 14,401 and the number August 10, 13,494 The decease in' the surplus of box cars was heavy, the number July 22 eing 120,580 and the number 19, 100,3(17. The report shows also that the coal, gondola and hopper cars are being placed rapidly and to good advantage, for while the shortage in this class of cars on July 22 was 330, it was only 105 on August 19., As in previous months tlie surplus of cars is smallest in group ?, which includes Montana, WyDming and Nebraska. The total iurplus in this group on August 10 was 2,805. This, however, was an increase,' for the surplus on July 22 was only 1,014. No shortage of any kind was reported in this group of States. The only groups in which no shortages were reported were Groups 7, 3 ami 5 and Group No. 11, which includes only the Canadian lines. Group 3 includes Ohio Indiana, Michigan and western Pennsylvania. The total surplus of cars in this group on July 22 was 85,550, while on August 10 it had decreased to 00,447. Ly far thc greatest decrease in surplus in this group was in line of coal, gondola and hopper cans. The surplus of cars of this kind on July 22 was 47,090, while on August 10 it had decreased to 30,130. On October 30, 1007, the surplus in this group in this class of cars was only 137.Last October the surplus of flat cars in rMs group was only 71 . On August 10, of his year, the' surplus in flat cars was 2,741, and on July 22 it was . 3,150. During last October there were immense' shortages of cars of all kinds in this group of States as well as in all other groups, but now there are im mense suqduses.
