Reducing the Surplus.

The disposition of the surplus in the
u. s. Treasury engages the attention
of our atatesmen, but a more vital
question has our attention, and that is
the reduction of the Surplus Consump-
tives. Since the discovery and intro
duction of DR.. Kings New Discovery
for Consumption there has been q
marked decrease In the mortality from
this dreaded disease, and it is possible
to still further reduce the number of
consumptives. How? BY keeping

cording to directions, upon the appear

cough, cold, sore throat, chest or

was to the effect that we gave it az our !!
free, unbiased and constitutional v
permitted opinion, that Mr.. Hine, a
republican candidate for Sheriff, was
pre- :ented from getting the Shalers-
vile delegation by the cooperation of
a certain few "wetn democrats. We
made no remark about the Carlton del
egates, neither did we say there was
any undsrhanded republican work
done, but We did say, and say it again,
aud can pIove it if necessary, that the
defeat of MIR. Hine at that primary was
caused by a certain few wet" demo.
Gratis, one of whom has said openly
and above board since the April elec.
tion, that he would help to defeat Mr..
Hine when he should again ask for
favor at the hands of his townsmen.
We thought then, and think now that
Mr.. Hines defeat at that caucus was
owing to his temperance principles.
We don't care If every one of the Carl
ton delegates were dry" men, we
have IL from very good authority that
Mr.. Carlton himself was not, and we
do know that one republican, at least,
refused to support Mr.. Hine because
he :" voted dry in April" Mr.. Hine
and Mr.. Carlton are both, so far as our
personal knowledge goes, good men
and worthy of the office, but for one
thing-they are on the wrong side of
the political fence, and 1t seems strange
