THE MEANING OF PARTY. Said a member of the Republican

party recently, in conversation In this office, ‘ We must drop these principles next time or we will lose again.” We doubt if the gentleman saw the significance of his words, but they were worthy of serious consideration. Freely interpreted they meant that parties exist, not to accomplish results, but merely to place men in power. Acknowledging that this is the theory of some office-holders and office-seekers, we doubt if it is the theory of party held by the rank and file. It is probably true that these men who “vote for a yellow dog if it is on the ticket,” do have some vague notion that party exists to get some men into power. They could not give their reasons for belonging to either party. But the vast majority of the rank and file believe they see in the party they adhere to, cerium principles of civic light; believe that this party stands for certain ' theories of governmental policy. Destroy these principles and theories and the party means nothing to them. They would rather lose with these principles than to win without them. Victory devoid of the principles in which they believe would not be victory, but defeat. The placing of men in offlee merely for the sake of allowing them to draw the salary instead of some one else, wins nothing for ihe average voter. We do not believe that either the Republican or Democratic party should sacrifice any principle in order to win, unless expediency dictates that smaller things shall be dropped that greater ones may be accomplished. There has been too much trimming to catch the vote, too much sacrifice of principle for the sake of office, too much of promise that was merely

noise. Mr. Bryan was right when he insisted that the Democratic party stood for certain things, and these things must be kept, though minor changes might be made for expediency’s sake. Government will be better when voters cease to think too much of the offices, and more of the things done by the men in them; things done that are in accord with party principles.

We publish today a letter from Congressman Moss which, we believe, will be of interest tq everyone. The letter is an examination of the fight over rules, and the breaking up of party lines in Washington, all from the inside. It shows, if it shows anything, that party has ceased to be an element in legislation and that section and personal interests are much more powerful in the control of governmental policy. It is a good thing, with the election now some four years off, for each voter lo lay his politics aside, and to study the affairs of the country, and the legislation affecting them, from the standpoint of his own interests. Congressman Moss's letter is an aid to such study. The party point of view has been laid aside In this fight now going on. It is the interests against the people. Democrats and Republicans are standing shoulder to shoulder on both sides of the question. It remains for the people at home to watch both the parties and the individuals and to remember.

A SMALL PER CENT. PASS

Township Examinations for the Pupils Finishing the Common Schools Proves the Undoing of Many Candidate' for Diplomas.

It is some satisfaction to know that though officers and the law could not prevent the kidnapping of the Whitla boy, at least the officers succeeded in capturing the kidnappers and most of the ransom money soon after the cash was paid over. The fact that the man and woman, after securing the money, were unable to get away, will do much toward deterring others from the same game. A successful escape with the ransom would have doubtless meant many more such crimes in the future. A heavy sentence, the heaviest the law permits, should be passed upon the guilty parties, not only as a punishment, but as a deterent to such crimes in the future.

What will appear very Interesting to many people here is the article taken from a New York daily paper, giving a simple prescription, which is said to be a positive remedy for backache or kidney or bladder derangement, if taken before the stage I of Bright’s disease: | Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three I ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each I inpal and again at bedtime. A well known druggist here at 1 home, when asked regarding this j prescription, stated that the ingredI ients are all harmless, and can be objtained at a small cost from any good 1 pr 'cription pharmacy, or the mixj ture would be put up if asked to do so. He further stated that while this ! rheumatic afflictions with splendid results, he could sec no reason why it would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and urinary trouble and backache, as it has a peculiar action inon the kidney structure," cleansing 1 these most important organs and helping them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering. Those of our readers who suffer can make no mistake in giving it a trial.

CLOVERDALE TOWNSHIP DOES BEiT

County Superintendent Thomas has not yet completed the grading of the examination papers of the pupils of the common schools who took the examinations in the various townships on last Friday and Saturday. The examination proved to be very hard. A very small per cent of I the pupils attempting the examination passed. Thus far CloverJalej township has the best record, having made fourteen passes in the forty that took the test. Other townships showed a much smaller per cent of passes. The townships thus far graded and the number taking the examination and the number passing are as fol- j lows: Floyd township, 4 of 21; J Greencastle township, 2 of 22; Jark-i son township, 1 of 16; Madison township, 2 of 11; Marion township, 4 of 25.

No Need <>f a Veterinary. “We run a livery, feed and sale | stable, have a city transfer and handle hard and soft coal and consequently we need a good many horses,” says Bedell Bros, of Mount Carmel, 111'. “We have used Sloan’s Liniment and Veterinary Remedies for years and find they give perfect satisfaction. As long as Sloan's remedies are in our barn we do not need a veterinary surgeon. We are never without them and conscientiously recommend them to all horsemen." Colby Bros, of the Mineral City Livery, Fort Dodge, la., write: —“I have used Sloan’s Colic Cure, Liniment and Fever and Distemper Remedy for the past ten years, and since I have been using them, I have never had a veterinary in my barn, and have not lost a horse from either colic or distemper, and will say that any man with a horse or horses who keeps Sloan’s Liniment and Veti rinary Remedies in his barn will never have occasion to call a veterinary.” Sloan's Treatise on the Horse, sent free to any horseman.
