] Am Not Inconsistent.

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN: I am charged
with inconsistency in voting for Stein
man, the inconsistency being my pro-
nounced opposition to the saloon as an
institution. To charge minister with
inconsistency is very serious matter,
for it is thrust at his character, and his
character above all things determines his
influence.
One has said, "You need not preach
against the saloon to me, after voting for
Steinman."
Let me ask my critics question: If
had voted for Knox would my vote have
expressed any opposition to the saloon?
If Mr.. Knox has said anything or done
anything expressive of opposition to the
saloon, l have not heard of it; and l
guess Rhoads and a good many others
had not heard of it, for | can hardly con-
ceive of such men supporting man who
was known to be opposed to tho saloon.
Was there any candidate for whom |
could have voted and thereby expressed
opposition TO the saloon?
l never yet have failed to vote for such
a candidate. Is it not clear that the sa-
loon question did not enter as an issue
into this campaign? Therefore I was not
inconsistent with my previous oppo-
sition to the saloon.
But MI. Steinman was a party to re-
voking eight or ten licenses. This was
something in favor of decent govern
ment. 1t beat the nothing g-at-all done be-
fore since / came to this city by long
distance.
I had no reason to think Mr.. Knox
would even show this much opposition to
saloons, especially with such men as
Rhoads supporting him. Notice! do
not say that ho would not, but that / had
no reason to think he would.
Under these circumstances, with the
light l had, in so far as there was even a
color of temperance in the campaign, that
color appeared in voting for Steinman.
had to select my candidate from act
ual candidates, not from.ideal candidates.
and because Mr.. Steinman had mani
tested enterprise and back bone, and l did
not know whether Mr.. Knox would or
not, voted for what considered the
greater certainty.
do not wish TO be understood as in
any degree apologizing for my vote.
simply wish to shield myself from the
unjust and unkind charge of inconsist
ency. The man who makes that charge
Injuries my honor and influence, and
these are dearer to me than life itself.

IT is well to bear in mind that
what caused the revolution in
Hawaii was the attempt of the
queen to overthrow the constitu-
ton. 1t was not Minister Stevens
who did this, as Gresham would
have the world believe, but the
dissolute queen, impatient at the
restraint which the constitution
put upon her, intended to set it
aside, and her overthrow followed.
And now the power of the United
States is to be exercised to put her
back on her throne. Will it also
support her in the attempt to alb
rocate the constitution and secure
absolute powerg The action of the
administration has made a diplo-
matte and constitutional snarl
that exceeds anything before done
by responsible government, and
1t will be no easy task to straight
en- matters out. But let us not
forget that Queen Liliuokalani was
the cause of the revolution.

In Boston, last Friday night at

In BOSTON, last Friday night at
the annual love feast of the Home
Market club, Governor Mckinley
was received with clamorous ap-
plause, in response to which he
said: "This year in Massachusetts,
as in Ohio, politics was business
and business was politics, and
unitedly they triumphed. Is any
body any longer in doubt about
the real trouble in the country
todays The president of the
United States in his August mes
sage announced a great fact. He
said 1T. may be true that the en-
barassment from which the busi-
ness of the country is suffering
arises as much from evils appre-
hended as from those actually ex-
isting.' This was true. Remove
the apprehension of the threatened
tariff legislation; remove the scare
Of the promised free trade bill;
remove the fear which settled
upon every business interest, and
confidence will return. What
would be more welcome to the
business interest in the country
than assurance that this congress
would adjourn without meddling
with our industrial legislation. l
sound the note of warning here
tonight. The effect of the pro-
posed tariff legislation, whether in
tended or not, is an unerrlng blow
at labor, which will be instantly
felt in the home of every operative
in the United States"

REPUBLICANS, AWAKE!

It has generally been the GUS
tom for the political solons of our
country to fix up a county ticket
some months before the conven-
tions. The term of the circuit
court next preceding election day
offers favorable opportunity for
consultation on this important
matter, as nearly all sections will
be represented on that occasion.
So far as we can learn, the usual
custom has been overlooked at the
court session which closed last
week. Whether this apparent
lack of interest is due to Pennoyer,
Cleveland or hard times it is diff
cult to say. Probably all three
have had a depressing influence,
for they do seem to come upon us
like battalion Of misfortunes all
in one. The populists are Jubi-
liant over this state OF apathy and
unless more interest is taken by
the party as to who shall be our
county officers and who shall rep
resent us in the next legislature
and In the United States senate
the forces of the opposition will
be augmented-the forces of those
whose only object seems to be to
4ear down and destroy the methods
customs and institutions which
civilized people have adopted be-
cause they were recommended by
the observation and experience of
all the ages which have gone be-
fore.
The depletion of the ranks of
the republican party during the
last presidential election and the
evil consequences following like
the opening of Pandora bones in
every home should have the effect
of bringing every lover of good
government and prosperity for our
people to their senses. The people
who cheerfully paid billions of
dollars and offered upon the altar
of their country the blood of hun
dreds of the noblest and greatest
patriots should not think the goal
won nor victory achieved until our
people are assured in the enjoy
ment of the almost unbounded en-
joyment to which their heroic
struggles entitle them.
The times are propitious for
phenomenal republican victories.
The age is pregnant with facts
justifying past achievements of
the republican party and prophe-
sying grander work for it in the
future. Let the republicans of
Benton county prepare for their
share of the victory to be won by
careful organization In advance.

NATIONAL FINANCES.

Clapp & Co.'S. trade bulletin is
authority for the statement that
the United Safes owes nearly six
ten hundred million dollars; near
ly six hundred million dollars is
interest bearing debt payable on
or before 1907. All the remainder
of about one thousand million dol
lars is practically payable on de-
mand In gold. The aggregate de-
mand obligations and national
bank circulation is about twelve
hundred million dollars. The ag-
gregate of gold in the hands of the
government and in the hands of
the people is about six hundred
and sixty million dollars. The
amount of gold coin and bullion
actually in the hands of the gov
ernment at present to redeem de-
mand obligations (stated above at
one thousand million dollars) is
about one hundred sixty three mil
lion dollars. About seventy-nine
million dollars of this is supposed
to be held in trust against certiG-
Gates issued to and held by private
owners. These certificates are
now about thirteen millions more
than the sixty-six millions gold
coin the government has in hand.
The government has also nearly
one hundred and forty million fine
ounces of silver bullion on hand,
which is held against about one
hundred and fifty-two million
United States notes issued to pay
for it under the Sherman bill. 1t
is worth on the basis of London
quotations about ninety seven mil
lion dollars. The coined silver in
hand is held to cover silver certifi-
Gates outstanding, and is not avail
able to redeem United States
notes.

AS Prosecuting Attorney Condor
depicted, he perhaps is the worst
criminal with which the state is

order to hear of his pardon being

who already has established quite

BIGGEST MAN ON EARTH.
IFrankfort, Ind, Dispatch.l


Citizens of this vicinity yester-
day had an opportunity to behold
the greatest living man in avoirdu-
pois. John Hanson Craig with
his wife and 3-year-old child, was
visiting James Anderson and
James Mcpherson, relatives.
Cralg's home is in Danville, Hen
bricks county, but he has been in
the show business since his baby
hood. In answer he said:
81 now weigh 907 pounds, and
am 81 years old. At birth l
weighed II pounds; at II months
l weighed II pounds, at two
years, 2O6 pounds. At that time
| took the $1,000 premium at
Barnum's baby show in New York
city, in the year 1858. At 5 years
l weighed 3O2 pounds; at 13 years,
4O5 pounds; at %, TIA pounds; at
81, 75s pounds; at %, TIA pounds;
at %, 79I pounds; at 80, SO6
pounds; at 81, S36 pounds, and my
present weight is just 907 pounds.

ches around the ankle, twenty
nine inches around the knee,
|sixty-six inches around the thigh

yards for a suit of clothes and
three pounds of yarn for stock
ings."
Mrs. Craig is a good looking
blonde, weighs 130 pounds and
formerly y accompanied her husband
in the role of snake charmer as
'Zola Ayres." When asked how
long they had been married, she
laughingly remarked that they
were just now enjoying their Sec
ond honeymoon, as they were di-
vorced in January, and remarked
but a couple of weeks ago. Mr.:
Craig explained the trouble, stating
that his wife had expressed a desire
to learn fashionable dress-making
and that he objected. She applied
for a divorce, it was granted and
she went to Terre Haute and learn
ed her trade. She then returned
home and they were remarked.
Mr.. Craig has been all over Europe,
and in every important city in the
world. They went from here to
Dayton, where Mrs. Craig was born
and raised.

AN ENGINEERS EXPERIENCE.
FROM SOUTH CHICAGO DAILY CALUMET.
SOUTH CHICAGO, October 7, 1893


EDITOR CALUMET: l desire to let the
people of this section know the great
benefit l have derived from the use
of Chmberlain's Pain Balm. I am an
engineer, and in filling my duties as such,
often become overheated, while the strain
on my engine is very great, and has caus-
ed me much suffering. These pains were
of such frequent recurrence, that I feared
kidney trouble. Physicians could do moth
ing for me, and often, after catching cold
would be laid up and lose day or two's
work. About year ago caught a severe
cold and had to go to bed. The pain in
my back was terrible and could get no
relief. I sent to drug store for some
kind of liniment and the druggist said
Chamberlain,s Pain Balm was as good as
anything. had the Pain Balm we'll rub.
bed in across the small of my back, then
wet flannel cloth and bound it across the
seat of pain. In few hours relief came,
the pain had vanished, and the next day
went to work and have not lost day
since. Yours Resp, B. w. Bradley, En-
gineer. Pain Balm is for sale here by
Graham & Wells, druggists.
