A PRoPosITIoN FOR FREE BANKING
IN OHIo.-The Legislature of Ohio at
its last session passed an act to authorize
free banking, which is to be submitted to
a vote Of the people of the coming elcc-
ton, aud cannot, under the constitution,
take unless approved by majority of the
voters. Its most important feature is con-
tained in the following section:
"No banking company hereby author
lied shall at any time issue or have I'm
circulation any note, drsft, bill of ex-
change, acceptance, certificate Of deposit;
or any other evidence of debt, which from
its character, form or appearance shall
be calculated or intended to circulate as
money; ahd every violation of this section
by any officer or member of banking
campany shall be deemed and judged a
misdemeanor, and be punished by fine or
Imprisonment or both, in discretion of
the court having cognizance thereof, as
now provided by law"

SPAIN IN CUBA.-Thousands of troops
are pouring into Cuba from Spain at this
sickly season. The number of troops ar
irving out or about to arrive is about
1900. These, it is said, have never seen
service at home, and if they were vet
Grams they could be of little use, unaccli-
mated, in Cuba, at this season of the year
Either Spain does not learn wisdom from
experience in dispatching soldiers to
Cuba, whose only destination can be the
hospital or grave, or else (which is more
probable) there are generals and con-
tractors who coin money out of the blood
of these poor fellows.

THE PRESIDENCY

A Washington dispatch says: 1t is re-
ported at the headquarters In this city Of
those who are seeking to abolish the
Presidency that sixty-four petitions in as
many cities and towns are receiving
numerous signatures, and will be pre-
sented to Congress. These petitions ask
that the constitution shall be SO amended
that the government may be placed in
the hands of Council of State composed
of the heads of departments, who shall
be elected by Congress.-Erchange.
There is nothing very new in that. The
men who engineered Mr.. Hayes into the
Presidents chair would have abolished
the Presidency at any time if thereby
they could have held the Offices and con-
tinued to fleece the people.

A FAMILY NEcEssITY.-"The Preyen
ton and Cure of Disease" (Which is now
being introduced throughout the county,
Is the title of new family work by the.
celebrated DR.. Napheys, Of Jefferson Med
ical College, Philadelphia, whose name
has bee ome u household word through
out the whole country. The people have
long felt the need OF o family medical
work which should be plain enough for
them to understand and that should he so
practical that it could be relied on in sud-
den emergencies when medical advice
was difficult to get, and also should give
them the treatment of slight attacks OF
serious diseases by remedies at hand or
easily obtained. No works heretofore
have been satisfactory or practical, and
in many cases have done actual harm.
This is of entirely different character and
contains such valuable instructions in
the nursing and home treatment OF the
sick, that all, even without any knowl-
edge of anatomy or study of technical
medical books, can put it to an every
day use. In fact it is a family necessity
and contains such plain and minute state
ments OF what to do, and how to do it
best, as to make it just what it claims to
be, household medical adviser. lntelll-
gent and thoughtful medical men in indie
pendence and Buchanan county, who
have examined the work are heartily en-
dorsing it.

NoTE.-It will be seen on comparing
the above report with the report for the
month ending February end, that there
has been all increase in the number of
days absence This increase was made
OH the afternoon of February 22nd,
when more than half our pupils stayed
out to view the parade. We cannot
blame the little folks for their curiosity,
it will help to make scholars of them if
properly utilized, but when all alloGances
are made the amount of absence is too
great.
OF the 1899 absences recorded all but
five or six have happened with the con-
sent or for the convenience of parents or
guardians, and at their request have been
excused. but it seems to US that in very
many instances the reasons for such alb
sences have been too slight.
We know of nothing which more ser-
ously interferes with the advancement of
pupils than irregularity in attendance,
and We wish that our patrons could see
this in its true light and let no slight
cause keep their children out for single
day. W. f.

THE Postville Rerieae, in response to
our demand for the names of the parties
who so severely critisizcd our city at the
s. s. Convention held ut that place,
says:
We uere a little surprised at the way
Brother Merry, Brother Holmes and
others event for" the morality of the
fair city of the Wapsie. They report it
entirely destitute of religious life and
animation, and joined to its idols-in-
temperance and sin. They stated that
they had used every effort to hold the
Convention there, but could get no en-
enlargement, even from the churches
nobody wanted the Convention there
These are the obligations" and these are
a part of the ''alligators."
We know that Messrs. Merry and
Holmes are Jealous workers in the Sun
day School cause, but from the above, it
would appear that they sadly need to
temper their zeal with little discretion,
not to say candor. Even if the above
picture of our moral condition, timned by
them, were true to life, it could do no
good, and was IN the worst possible taste,
to refer to it at that time and place. But
it is not true that our community is en-
,irely destitute of religious life and
animation Intemperance and sin are too
prevalent here as elsewhere, but we ven
ture to say that they are no more preva'
lent here, than in the places that have the
honor of owning Bros. Merry and
Holmes as citizens Regarding the mat
ter of holding the S. S. Convention here,
it is possible that our religious people did
not quite regard 1t in the enthusiastic
STYLE peculiar to those brethren, but
they nevertheless are doing good, earnest
and Jealous work in the Sunday School
cause. Our town being given over to sin
and intemperance, it is good missionary
field. Why did not Bro. Merry come
and till il during the late temperance re-
vival? He was Invited to 'come over
and help u.s." if we mistake not.

Mr.. BARNHART says that the system Of
appointing editors as postmasters, is a
"pernlcious" one and that he could not
think of accepting such an office tor fear
that it might compromise his indepen-
dence! He does right to care tenderly
for his independence" for 1t is a plant
of sickly growth 1t needs the most as
siduous attention for its developments and
as yet, compound microscope to discern
it. But this ostentatious regard for his
editorial independence, is a new thing
with our neighbor. If we arc not misin.
formed, he did not scruple TO take the ap-
pointment of postmaster Of this city
from Andy johnson, being at that time,
as now, editor of the Conservative. =
Where was his editorial independence
then? Like the fever and ague, it is in
termittent. 1t comes out strong when
the Republicans are in power, but when
the Democrats have post offices TO dis
pense, it is conveniently retired from
duty Such independence!

A Terrible Cough!

How often we hear the above remark
during these extreme changes of weather.
Colds, Coughs and Sore Threats were
never more prevalent among children
than now. Now We are going to urge
you to try remedy which has excited
comments by physlclans all over the
country, who acknowledge their surprise
at the wonderful and happy results from
its use. That remedy is the well-known
preparation, HALE'S COUGH CORDIAL.
Your own druggist. P. TABOR & Son, will
tell you that 1t is the best cough medicine
they ever sold; and will warrant cure
or return your money to you in case of u
failure after using one-half the bottle 1t
is very pleasant to the taste. making it a
very desirable remedy for children.

From facts patent to every body, and
the statement of perfectly reliable parties,
it is conclusive to our mind that the
small majority returned for Mr.. Roszell
for Mayor, is doubly everbalanced by
fraudulent and illegal votes cast for him.
There is but little question that Mr.. Hol-
bridge is the legally elected Mayor. In
the case of the tie on Councilman in the
Second Ward, we believe that fair con-
test of the election, would give the place
to Dale, the Republican candidate. The
ticket relied on to make the count tic, had
the name of Roads written on it, but the
name of Dale was not erased, the voter in
effect, casting a ballot for both candi.
dates. 1t should have been thrown out.
Whether Messrs Holdridgc and Dale will
think 1t advisable to contest, we know
not
