A Force Bill for Indiana.

The indianapolis Journal, aperson4l
organ of President Harrison, and an
uncompromising enemy Of the South,
has this to say
"The White Cap outrage; reported in
the Sunday Journal from near Cory
don, is a peculiarly %atrocious one Adoz
en- disguised men dragged a Methodist
preacher, the Rev. B. Z. Van Cleave
from his bed and house and beat him
cruelty in the presence of his wife,
who was also roughly handled. From
all accounts Mr.. Van CIeave is a good
man, his only fault apparently being
that he is too plain spoken il indeed
that be a fault in one whose business
it is to reprove sin and smncrS The
attack upon him was brutal ID cow
ardly."
Imagine the parOxysm into which
the Journal would have been thrown
had this occurred III any Southern
State. We can almost hear its fren-
zied denunciation If Southern lawless-
ness, its wild appeal for bayonets, its
fervid declaration that the negro is as
good as the white man, and must be
protected at any cost! But it didn't
happen in the South. 1t happened in
Harrison county, Ind, and so is dis.
missed with the casual and wholly un-
necessary comment that the affair was
brutal aid cowardly.
We reSpec fully suggest that where
as Methodist preachers have Il right,
under the constitution, to life, liberty
and the pursuit OF happiness, and,
whereas, in the State of Indiana that
right is denied, such steps as may be
necessary in the premises be forthwith
taken by the Federal authorities. A
force bill for Indiana appears to be in
order.-Memphis Commercial

Golden Medical Discovery" cures
those diseases which come from blood
impurities-scroiula and skin diseases,
sores and swellngs.
But does it? It's put up by the thous.

il had been compounded just for you?
Its makers say that thousands 0i
people who have had 7, tier and Sa l.
rheum, Eczema and ErySipelas, Car
huncles and Sore Eyes, Thick Meek
and Enlarged Glands, are well to day
because they used it.
Suppose that this is 50, Suppose
that a quick-witted man was far. seeing
enough to know that to cleanse the
blood was to cleanse the life. Suppose
that by many experiments, and after
many failures, he discovered this gold.

it for you is so strong that you can &C
to your druggist, buy q bottle, and i

our Candidate for Sheriff.

In few more weeks the voters OF
Washington county will be called up
on to elect a sheriff for the ensuing
two years. For that office Johnson
City presents a candidate, the first
one in about ten years, or since ED.
HARR died.
In asking the sovereigns of Wash
ington county to vote for JOHN SAN
DERs Johnson City does so, conscien-
tious in the belief thlt it has present
ed the best qualified man in the coun-
ty for the Office and the man who will
get the hearty support of the city, re-
CARELESS Of politics. Our people recog-
nize fitness and are firm believers in
the maxim that merit will win.
Personally JOHN SANDERS is known
throughout the county and needs no
introduction, 1t is not too much to
say hat he has more warm, personal
friends than any man in the county,
and he never let an opportunity pass
to show his appreciation Of their
friendship.
He has a heart in him as big as his
body, and it beats for all,
and he has never been
known to turn a deaf ear to those in
need. Hundreds of people in this
country will willingly testify.to this
There does not live a more thor.
ougly unselfsh man. He gives freely
and without the hope of reward. AS
to his qualifications for the OF
flee too much cannot be said. He
does not know fear, and never allowed
q prisoner to escape that was put il
his charge. No fact is better tstab
lished than that this is absolutely
unapproachable. He is one of thu
best business men in the State, as hi
private business testifies. He vii
make an admirable Sheriff. and is SURE
to serve the people of Washington
county in that capacitr after the Au
gust election.
I This is the first candidate johnson
City has asked you to vote for 70
years, and it does so now believ
ing that we are entitled to tie Sheriff
for various reasons, prominent among
which is the fact that the 9th distIict
which is Johnson City, pays owe
half the taxes Of the county, and OF
/, account OF its size, furnishes the ma
jority of the business in the Circui
/ Court. On account of these thing;
) and others too numerous to mention
! we believe the next Sheriff should b
taken from Johnson City, and that h
will be.
: The 9th distr ct, as an evidence {
the esteem in which he is held in John
son City, will give JOHN SANDERS
rousing majority. The next Sheri
will he rom Johnson City.
