It ' IR'Ol K. JamesTTTTtai'COClrwill be a r andldnte fsr~ Towi -hip Trusteeof Muram Township, atlh ject to the decision of the Republican Township Co vent o i. Six former Democrats of Carpenter tp., openly joined the Republican ranks, at the Congressional primary, last Saturday Those six will grow to thirty-six by November.

The congressional situation is still, a matter of nxueh doubt. There have been 116 delegates elected, and of these Mr. Johston has about 70, and Mr. Landis about 46; although the friends of both gentlemen claim more than the above figures. Cass with 35 delegates, Fulton 'with 21 and Newton with 12 are still to hear from. The Landis men count on the big end of Cass county and a good showing from Fulton and Newton. If tlieir hopes in these respects are realized the chances are that both gentlemen will go into the convention with pretty nearly equal strength. It will take 93 votes to nominate.

Senator Hill gave some of his brother Democrats a terrible but well deserved roasting in the Senate, Monday, and Yoarhees, the anarchist and demagogue from this state, gothis share of the castigation. Voothees having declared that the statement that the president had outlined a tariff bill before the meeting of Congress, was a “noisy and resounding charge.” Senator Hill, referring really to Yoorhees’ late anarchistic harangue in the Senate, thus replies: “Let me tell him (Senator Yoorheet>) that it is not half so noisy as the constant vituperations which Jwe hear on every hand from blatant demagogues who are abroad in the land loudly inveighing against the wealth of the country and impudently demanding its confiscation through every means which their develish ingenuity can invent.’’. ’

Ihe impression- prevails quite extensively that the Gifforfl drainage la ( w, decided uftehnstitutional last week by Judge Wiley, is the same as that under which the collossal injustice known ns the Iroquois ditch, is projected, This is a mistake. The laws are altogether different and were passed by different sessions of the Legislature. The Iroquois and Wakarusa schemes were instituted under the Timmons or 6v« mile ditch law. There are probably few laws on the statute books of the state dontaiui"e* so many inequitable and ui just provisions as the Tim-

mons law, as well as none more awkwardly and ambiguously word" ed, but its constitutionality has never been contested in the courts, excepting that-Judge Reynolds, of Monlieello, decided invalid that part which provides for joint ditches in- two or more counties. Iris the general opinion of good lawyers who have examined this Timmons law that it would be promptly knocked out if ever examined by the Supreme Court. Delphi Journal: The Democratic newspapers are running a lot of free trade stuff editorially that they call "Over meyer’s Views.” We presume this is John Overmeyer, the black and tan beliy-acher troin North Vernon. Years ago he came into the .Republican party because he did not get the office lie wanted iu the Democratic party. Then he did not get wdmt he wanted in the Republican party a; d lie went back into the Democratic party. And he is now giving his "views.” He had better retire to a secluded spot and die. .

The. advocate of the wrong side of the Iroquois rock cut and ditch assessment matter, being grieved no doubt, that the alliases of “Progressive Farmer” and “J. W. G.” failed to conceal his identity, now lias his man Friday sign his name in full to the last production. "The man uscript of that ar-i tide, like its predecessor, was in the familiar "hand-writing” =of Thompson & Bros.’ type-writing machine. The signature "James W. Cowden” no more conceals, nor reveals, the real author than did the aliases above referred to. The next time the stool-pigeon shins around to the offices of the "subsidized press” with one of his master’s articles, we suggest that he make the signature even more positive than the last time. Let him sign it like this for instance: "James W. Cowden,by the grace of my lord and master, Simon P. Thompson, (putative) author of the above article.” ======

There is nothing in this last James W. S. P. T. Cowden article except a little bombast aud weak personal invective. It does not even make a pretense of defending the outrageous abuses embodied in this Iroquois ditch scheme. And this failure to defend is a practical admission that they are indefensible. The character of the channel through Kensselaer is indefensible; the straightening process through others and avoided through his own property, is indefensible; the assessing of tens of thousands of dollars upon property not at all benefitted, and of other tens of thousands of dollars upon property benefitted but little, is indefensible; and the destruction of public aud private property without recompense, is indefensible. And these indefensible features should be fully corrected or the whole project should be defeated, until it can be inaugurated and carried out under principles of justice and equity. V

THAT “RETURNING PROSPERITY.”

“IU is a sign of returning prosperity, according to> the Chicago Herald, that three r of thafive mills owned by the Illinois Steel 'Works are about to open, says the:* lnfer Ocean. It is a sign of returning prosperity that employment will be given, to 3,000 man where 0,000 were once employed. It is a sign of returning prosperity that the men employed as heaters, who earned $6.57 per day in 1892, when the Chicago Herald assured them that they were “starving workmen,” now will receive $4.34. We shall not emulate the dishonest folly of our contemporary by protesting that men who earn $4.34 a day are in danger of starving, but we will remind our wage earning friends that we assured them that when, acting on the Herald’s advice, they went in for "swiping the tariff” they were swiping a good slice off their own wages. Of course the stores can not sell so much to heaters who earn $4.34 a day as to those who earn $6.67. But the Herald speaks of the reduced rate as •‘satisfactory.” We have great sympathy with the class of workmen who, as unskilled laborers, earned $1.50 in 1892 and early in 1893, but who now will have to live on sl. The first sum insured a frugal living, the latter hints at privation where

the family is large. We have sympathy, also, with those who earned S 3 per day before they read and believed the specious theories of free traders, but who must be contented with $2 now that an approach to free trade is made. Three dollars a day means comfort, two means rigid economy. Still the Herald assures us that all this is “satisfactory.” We rejoice exceedingly in even a partial rehabilition of trade. We are glad that 3,000 men are rescued from idleness, though at reduced rates of pay. But we will not speak seriously of this amendment of condition as a of prosperity.” It is, at best, a mitigation of adversity. If the Wilson bill becomes law, we believe that it will be but a temporary mitigation, for every ton of importecTiron will be a tonless made in the United States. Prosperity will return with the return of a fixed policy of protection. Not till then. Meanwhile, we earnestly rejoice in the present mitigation of adversity.

A Great Mistake. A recent discovery is that headache, dizziness dullness confusion of the mind, etc., are due to derangement of the nerve centers which supply the brain with nerve force; thht indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia, wind in stomach, etc., arise from the derangement of the nerve centers supplying these organs with nerve fluid or force. This Is likewise true of many diseases of the heart and lungs. The nerve system is like a telegraph system, as will be seen by the accompanying cut. The little | the nerves which fjtMA convey the nerve nerve centers to tors for the cause highly celebrated "m, specialist and flßsw- ' student of nervous diseases, and author' of many noted treatises on the latter subject, ! long since realized the truth of the first statement, and his Restorative Nervine is prepared on that principle. Us success I in curing all diseases arising from derangement of the nervous system Is wonderful, as the thousands of unsolicited testimonials in possession of the company manufacturing the remedy amply prove. •Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is a reliable remedy for all nervous diseases, such as headache, nervous debility, prostration, sleeplessness, dizziness hysteria, sexual dobility, St. Vitus dance, epilepsy, etc. It Is sold by all druggists on a positive guarantee, or sent direct by the Dr. Miles Medical 00., Elkhart, Ind., on receipt of price, SI per bottle, six bottles for 15, express prepaid.
