gradually contracted from these ex-
"treme limits to the neighbOrhood Of

this name was San CrOi-and when in

The Next Judge of Probate.

Speaking of Mr.. HECKERT's fitness
for the Office of Judge of probate, the
Decatur Republican of last week uses
the following language, all of which
the NoRTHERNER most heartily en-
dorses:-
The county ticket has been at the
head of our editorial page, but we do
not believe in continually parading our
party candidates before our readers
like the cages of menagerie, particu-
larly when they are personally known
to nearly every man who may wish 10
vote for or against them. The RepUb-
iicdn has favored Mr.. Heckert from the
beginning, mentioned him prominently
before the nomination and favors him
still, not only rs the party candidate,
but rs one of the best fitted men of tho
county for the position of probate
Judge, and we are surprised that even
his personal and political enemies
should try To preach his uniitness sim
ply because he exhibited little anger
in the convention at the way some men
in his own party had used him. We
have known Mr.. Heckert over twenty
years and have heard him spoken of i'm
every way, in campaigns and out of
them, but never heard of his terrible,
uncomfortable temper" until since the
convention. 1t is really a high compli-
ment to Mr.. Heckert's standing in the
county that his opponents can find no
other argument against him. He
managed to become the republican
nominee, simply by being true
blue republican, the natural candidate
and largely the choice of the conven-
ton, many members of which strongly
favored him for the last term of the
same office. There is no better quail
fed or more able man for probate Judge
in Van Buren, than Mr.. Heckert The
republicans of this county will take
their chances on Mr.. Heckert's canni-
balistic propensities with fondness
for helpless widows and tender children.

OUR democratic contemporaries, as
well rs our third party friends, are
deeply exercised concerning that plank
of the republican platform which af
firms the answering devotion of the
party to 1.-THE personal rights and liber-
ties of citizens" They pretend-it is
only pretense-to believe that such
statement means the right To vend and
to drink intoxicating liquors; the right
to ruin men, body and soul the right to
desolate and destroy homes; the right
to fill prisons, poorhouses and iails; the
right To make whiskey tub or IA beer
barrel of ones self. On the contrary,
the great majority of republicans do
not believe that any man has any such
moral right, and they do believe that
he ought not to have any such legal
right. The attempt to distort a decla-
ration favoring personal liberty of citi-
zens into any such application or mean
ing is piece of demagogery that ought
not, and will not deceive anybody.
Singular, isn't it, that our anti-sumptu-
AIRY democra. friends cannot conceive
that personal liberty can mean any
thing but liberty to swill whiskey, rum,
gin and beer They must have an ex-
allied idea of liberty! What Il howl
they would have made if the republi-
cans had declared against personal
liberty instead of III its favor They
would have found out very quickly
that the phrase meant something more
and something higher than the right to
sell and drink ardent spirits. The fact
of the matter is that all this cry about
the republican platform favoring the
iniquitous traffic, whether made by
democratic orators and newspapers, or
by prohibition candidates, even if they
be ministers of the gospel, is the veriest
humbug and the sheerest campaign
clap-trap, and it wauld be an insult to
the intelligence of those who speak and
write such arrant nonsense, TO think
for a moment that they believe their
own words.

a STATEMENT is going the rounds of
the democratic press, made for the
benefit of the third party men, and
gulped down and repeated by some of
the stump speakers of the latter party,
that democratic legislatures have
adopted twelve prohibitory statutes
while republican legislatures have
enacted but ten. The list of laws
given 10 substantiate such claim show
that but one such statute has been
enacted by democratic legislature
since the year 1855, and that was in
South Carolina in 1881. The republican
party was born in 1854, ran its first
presidential candidate in 1855, and
won its first national victory in 1860
BY their own showing, which may be
taken to be as favorable as they can
possibly make it, every prohibitory
law that has been enacted i'm any of
the states since the republican party
came into power, with the single ex-
ception of South Carolina, has been
enacted by republican legislature,
thus fully confirming the claim that
the republican party is the only party
through which temperance men and
women can reasonably hope to secure
legislation favorable To the advance
ment of the temperance cause.

THE Detroit Free Press, speaking of
the sugar tariff, says: "As IA matter of
fact, the price in London is fully the
duty less than it is in New York. Cen
trifugal sugar was quoted in London,
September Goth, at the equivalent of
1898 per 1l2 pounds; in New York on
the same day. the price was 1928 for n
like quantity. Refined cubes were
quoted in London at the equivalent of
$4.S6 to 1914 per 112 pounds, in New
York, $500" All Of which is undoubt-
edly true, and yet the democrat party,
the party that talks SO loud and long
about its friendship for the laboring
man, proposes to retain duty of sixty
eight per cent on sugar, even if it does
nearly double the cost of an article
that is prime necessity in the home Of
every laboring man in the country,
while the republican party proposes to
reduce this tax one-half and thus save
to the people 500, 600, 600 annually.

The Detroit Free Press devotes a
large amount of its valuable % edi-
toral space TO the stale and exploded
statement that South Bend plows are
sold in Canada cheaper than they are
i'm the United States, and all on ac-
count of the iniqritous tariff. Ii says
that such plows are sold i'm Canada for
ten dollars, while here the farmers are
charged sixteen dollars. 1t was but a
few weeks since that the NoRTHERNER
published "A letter from the South Bend
pillow company, which letter was i'm res
ponse to an inquiry addressed to that
company by the NoRTHERNER, en-
phatically denying all such statements.
In the same connection it published II
letter from "A Canadian dealer showing
that the pillow retailed in Canada for
ten dollars was precisely the same
plow sold To our farmers for only eight
dollars. The retail price of the South
Bend plows i'm the United States is
from eight To sixteen dollars, the latter
being a polished pillow and one that has
but limited sale, the fourteen dollar
pillow being equally as good in all res
poets except in the style of finish. The
Free Press, in order To bolster up its
! fallacious statements, resorts To the
subterfuge of comparing the Canadian
price of the cheapest pillow with the
American price of the best pillow manu-
featured. Our farmers are too intelli-
gent to be deceived by and such trans
parent trick; they know, rs the
Free Press knows, or ought to know,
that they can purchase plows of the
same grade cheaper than the Canadian
farmers who, if they use plows of
American manufacture, have to pay II
duty of thirtyiive per cent in addition
to the price paid in this country.
