Malaria

Literally means bad air. Poisonous germs
arising from low, marshy land, or from de-
cayiug vegetable matter, are breathed into
the lungs, taken up by the blood. and unless
the vital fiuid is purified by the use of good
medicine like Hood IS Sarsaparilla, the unfor-
tunate victim is soon overpoWered. Even In
the more advanced cases, where the terrible
fever prevails, this successful medicine has
effected remarkable cures. Those who are
exposed to malarial or other poisons should
keep the blood pure by taking Hoods SaFsa-
parilla.

The Direct Tar.

The Direct Tar.
The direct tax money refunded to
West Virginia will not go to the citi-
zens Of Jefferson and Berkeley coun-
ties. The S27,3 1898 lately paid over by
the Secretary of the United States
Treasury to the Governor of the State,
pursuant to act of Congress, was sup
posed to belong to those citizens Of
jefferson and Berkeley counties from
whom had been collected that amount
of the direct tax, but the State au-
thorities now find that this sum of
money has been already refunded TO
the citizens in those counties entitled
thereto, under the acts of Legislature
of 1867, and the joint resolution of
Legislature of 1869 relating to the per
sons who had lost their receipts there
for. 1t was only this year that Con-
gress passed the act refunding to the
States the amount Of direct tax col
lected therefrom, but West Virginia
reimbursed the cltlZenS OF Jefferson
and Berkeley (the only counties in
which the citizens individually paid
the tax, the Legislature in 1867 ap-
propriating the sum necessary to re-
fund the taxes to such parties as APP
peared on the books OF the collector
l.. H. Leering, to have paid the same.
In 1869 the commissioner appointed
was further authorized to refund to
those persons who had lost their re-
ceipts, upon the proper affidavit OF
such persons as to their having paid
the taxes The State having REIN
bursed the citizens for the money ad'
vanced at time Of the direct levy, this
sum of S27, 1928 will remain in the treas
ury for the benefit OF the whole State

ANOTHER OF THE LATE REPUBLICAN,
GLORIRS,

Hon. James r. Hsllowell, late Re
publican candidate for Congress IN
the great southwest district of Kan
sas, has been permitted AS cheap
solsce to his gigantic defeat to start
the Republican machinery of Sedg-
wick county to grinding again. Hon.
Christopher Reed, judge of the
eighteenth judicial district, who 50
deifed "Prince Hal'' when he put
him in nomination for Congress, at
Dodge City last year, now desires
another four years run of the district
judgeship, whose place is said to be
contested by the "other judge" of
Sedgwick county,. M. Balderson, of
the court of appeals, whose term ex-
pires with the ending of this year
and Hsllowell is now reciprocating
for Judge Reed. Holding out his
gracious right hand, "Prince Hal"
said:
Here is my hand and heart In the work. am
willing to work with you and make the county
what it used to be, the banner Republican county
In Kansas.
The Wichita Beacon, which glories
in the election Of Honest Jerry Simp-
son and the defeat of such a prince"
refers to this "princely" ignoramus,
as making no pretension of being a
student of history" and then uses
these words of Hal: 'Only little
noserrsgs like the Wichita Beacon,
criticise President Harrison" There
upon the Beacon remarked: "Harri-
sons administration has gone beyond
criticism. 1t is a revolt of the people
against it"

one of his old.time friends, for
$146.33 for money in his behalf ex-
pended to obtain the Republican pri-
mares, which were wrested from the
support of Congressman Anderson.
The suit developed the fact that be-
side the large amount Of Doodle used
in Saline county by the strikers for
Phillips, beer was consumed In large
quantities by this Republican prohi-
bitlon outfit and that they secured a
number of Democratic electors as
participants in their primaries; all of

THE ISSUE MADE.
The following is the currency plank
OF the Ohio Republican platform:

Ln0 IOuOWlnB IL Cn0 currency PLANK
OF the Ohio Republican platform:
Thoroughly believing that gold and silver
should form the basis Of all circulating mediums,
we endorse the amended coinage act of the last
Republican Congress, by which the entire pro
ductiOn of the silver mines OF the United States
is added to the currency Of the people.
What is the true meaning of this
plank? 1t begins by declaring the
belief that "gold and silver should
form the basis Of all circulating me-
diums." Mr.. Mckinley makes clear
the true import of this declaration in
his definition of the doctrines of the
party. He says;
It is In favor of gold AID silver, and also paper
money based upon oOt1 all equal and at all times
interchangeable; equal In fact and equal in law.
Paper money based upon coin is
not money at all. Every piece Of
such paper is only certificate of
gold or silver held in the treasury for
it's redemption. Under this policy
the circulating medium of this coun-
try would be absolutely limited to
the amount of gold and silver in the
country. According to the last re-
port of the secretary of the treasury
this amount at the close of the year
1890 was as follows:
silver. 4b5tZIl,3lV
Total 81 ,15s ,774. .048
This includes gold and silver bull
lion. The Peoples party wants no
better issue upon which to go before
the country in 1892 than this propo-
sition to confne the circulating me-
dunn to the limits prescribed by the
Ohio platform.
