JAIL PRISONERS AND COUNTY
ROADS.

faw days ago we We're informed
in Halifax that there were fifteen
prisoners in jail. They have been
there some time and are awaiting
their trial at the May term of Supe-
rior court. These prisoners cost
the county great deal, and the
county realizes nothing from the
expenditures.
Is there 10 way of getting them
on the county roads? Could not
the roads be greatly improved by
these men?
The DEMoCRAT thinks there are
several reasons why there should
be provisions made for working
these prisoners on the roads.
1 For the sake of the improves
ment they would make on the
roads.
2. Inasmnch as they would cost
the county very little, if any, more
than they do now, 1t would be util>
izing their expenses for the public
good.
3. Their confinement in jail is by
no means conducive to health; and
it would be humane thing to put
these men outside where they can
enjoy the free air and sunshine to
which they are accustomed.
If We can't get the whipping
post hack, let rs have the power to
put jail birds to work on the roads.

A very intelligent laborer, writing to
a contemporary concerning the wild
Democratic assertion that everything is
higher which enters into a labOring
mans living, except wages, and that
these are lower in consequence of the
Mckinley bill, knocks the free traders
doleful story into bits by plain recital
of personal experience. He shows from
his account book that the same make
and quality of clothing which last year
cost him S16.50 per suit he can now
purchase for $16. The same make and
quality of shoes that last year cost him
So. he can purchase now for $3.50. On
cotton cloth he notes half cent off, and
fifty cents off on the same brand of
flour. Last year he received but twelve
pounds of sugar for dollar, but now
carries home twenty-one pounds for the
same money. He declares that he can
find no article that comes to his table
which is higher IN consequence OF the
bill, but many which are lower. His
wages, he declares, are the same as last
year. A position he filled as foreman,
during Buchanan's reign at $3.50 per
day, now pays $3.50 for each days labor,
while clothing which by reference to his
account book, he finds was then S2S, he
can now buy, exactly equal in quality,
for SIG. Flour was then ten dollars per
barrel, sugar nine pounds for one dollar,
and other articles in proportion, from
which he very naturally concludes that
there never was a time in this country
when laboring mans wages would
purchase so much as to day.-[Appleton

4 fraudulent Pension Claim.

There is now an excellent opportunity
to learn something very definite about
the methods Of the pension office and
any member of congress who institutes
an investigation in the case OF Joseph
Lalone, fraudulent pensioner at Beaver
Dam in this state, will perform a valua-
bic service to the country.
Joseph Lalone served a year or less in
1865. Fifteen years later he applied for
pension, alleging paralysis as the re-
suit of sickness contracted in the army.
Eight years later his application was
allowed and he received more than
$1,000 arrears and $50 month after.
1t was learned by the government that
the paralysis was not due to disease
contracted in the army, but WIS the re-
suit of fall from wagon. The govern
ment has recovered most of the pension
money paid to him, but this is the least
important matter.
The Pension Office certainly required
some sort of evidence as to the cause of
the paralysis on which his application
was based. Either somebody was guilty
of purgery in bolstering up this claim or
the Pension office passed il without suf-
ticient testimony. If there were affida-
Wits to support the claim that paralysis
resulted from disease contracted in the
army, the vigorous prosecution OF those
who backed up the claim would do a
great deal towards preventing the max
ing of fraudulent affidaviJs by witnesses
or of affidavits-stronger than the facts

THE CAUSE FOUND.
Sold by John E. DAILY.

The cause Of chronic diseases has at
last been discovered.
People have taken Blood Purifiers "
and wondered why there was no perma-
nent benefit derived.
DR.. Shoop has taken step in advance
of all others, by giving special study to
the cadse of these increasing chronic
diseases.
He has found that certain a,erres have
entire control over the stomach, liver,
kidneys and all internal organs. When
these nerues are weak, or exhausted, the
stomach will not digest the food, the liver
will become torpid and the whole system
will sink from this lack Of nerve force.
