Rochester Republican: The Kewanna Herald says the “Rochester Bridge company has closed down its works, its manager asserting that it cannot successfully compete with the bridge trust recently formed.” If that is so then all the cry about trusts robbing the people is dead wrong. If the bridge factories not in the trust cannot compete in prices with the trust then it is evident that trusts are cheapening prices instead of becoming robber monopolies, as the Democrats are telling us. The facts are that the counties in Indiana are well supplied with iron bridges and the demand is becoming quite limited, Add this to the fact that about other county in northern Indiana has a bridge factory of its own and you have the secret of the whole matter. With the present competition in price, and facilities for making bridges a factory shoutd build at least one bridge per week to make a paying profit. ' ■/

The editor of the Democrat asserts that the present prosecution of himself and of Mr. Jesson for criminal libel is the only instance that ever came to his notice of one editor prosecuting another for libel. But did he ever know before of one editor publishing against another such a false, scurrilous, outrageous, and wholly unjustifiable an article as the one he has jnst published against the editor of this paper, and which has resulted most justly and righteously in prosecution. The prosecution of one editor by another for slander is not an onboard of thing by any means, and if the deoent and self respecting members of the profession were to adopt that method more frequently it would be much better for the credit of tbe newspaper profession and much to the advantage of society in general. The law and the courts are indeed, the proper agencies to employ against professional sjwiderers, both for private indiWduals and for the decent newspapers. Tbe decent newspaper editor who tries to answer slanderers after their own methods, simply brings himself into the same disrepute with them. And the private citizen who takes into his own hands the task of punishing the slanderers by personal castigation, thereby not only subjects himself to prosecution, but gives to the slanderers the opportunity they usually covet, of posing as martyrs.

A recent decision of the U. S. Supreme coart, in a case from Ohio,' has attracted a good deal of attention in this state, as it is thought by many to practically invalidate what is known as the Barrett law. The decision, so far as we can learn, i<s to the purport that public improvements, like street paving, side-walks, sewers etc., when the cost is charged to adjoining property owners, should not be charged on the basis of frontage, but assessed in proportion to the benefits received. We have heard of some places in this state where contracts fpr street improvements under the Barrett law, already under way have been abandoned by the contractors, for fear of the effects of this decision, Kokomo being specially affected. Other cities and towns which had improvements iu contemplation have SMpended action, awaiting develonements, our neighboring town M /laa/lloh/I Kp j ff rtna f\f 11l ASP _ # AI j « mil taro from too papers tn©re.

what a mother says.

♦ Decatur, 111., March 2, 1897. Gentlemen: —For Constipation I would cheerfully recom&iend your Syrup Pepsin. My little girl, aged 8 months, had been troubled since birth with Constipation and reading of your remedy I concluded to try it, and I can recommend it highly to mothers for immediate relief. Only two 10c bottles curred my baby.— Mrs. C. Floury.

Call on L. S. Renicker Bros, for all kinds of farming implements, out at the depot. During the winter of 1893, F. M. Martin, of Long Reach, West Va., contracted a severe ccld which lrft him with a cough. In speaking of how U 9 cured it he soys; “I used several kinds of cough syrup but found no relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, which relieved me almost instantly, and in a short time brought about-a oomplete cure.” When troubled with a oough or cold use this remedy and you will not find it necessary to try several kinds before you get relief. It has been in the market for over twenty years and constantly grown in favor and popularity. For sale at 25 and 50 cents per bottle by F. B Meyer. * Warren & Irwin are making farm loans at per cent interest Term most liberal. Ne delay. No fees for examination of land or abstract. See them before borrowing or refunding present indebtedness. They will treat you right and save you money. L. S. Renicker will sell you a top buggy for S3B. Come and see it before buying elsewhere.

A Rcmariiable Cure.

Mr. Alexander Moore, a reliable business man, of 1230 S. 13th St., Philadelphia, Pa., says: “I contracted a! violen. cold which settled all oVer me. The pain in my chest and side was excruci ating. The doctor gave me medicint and blistered my side, but I only grew worse. Then you gave me a bottle oi Brazilian Balm. I had little or no faith in it, but decided to try it. I took 3 or 4 good doses before bed time, and rubbed it well over my blistered side. That njgbt I slept like a top—my first good rest for over a week-*-and awqke in the morning cured. Brazilian Balm is simply invaluable.”
