Now is the Time.

The benefit to be derived from good
medicine in early spring is undoubted, but
many people nc glect taking any until the
approach of warmer weather when they
wilt like tender flower in a hot sun.
Something must be done to purity the blood,
overcome that tired feeling and give nee
essary strength. Vacation is earnestly
l0nged for but many weeks, perhaps months,
must elapse before rest can be INDUCED in.
To impart strength, and to give feeling
of health and yigor throughout the system,
there is nothing equal to Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. 1t seems perfectly adapted to over
come that prostration caused by change of
season, climate or life, and while 1t tones
and sustains the system it purifies and rem
ovates the blood.

The Detroit journal OF last evening con-
tanned the following dispatch from Lansing:
"The Lansing Journal, (Dem.) in a COM
parison of methods in the frauds of 1913 and
'91, will this afternoon say that in both in
stances powerful motive was behind the
crime, and that indications point to the
same hand in both frauds, and that the idea
that some subordinate, wanting to do his
principal good tlrn, did the work is alb
surd; that In 1891 the only person interested
was A. A. Ellis, and that in 1898, while
others were benefited, Ellis was still in
for pecuniary advantage by the passage of
the amendment" This is very significant,
coming from the source 1t does.

Here is what Wellington r. Burt, erst-
while democrat candidate for governor, says
as to the effect of the Wilson tariff bill:
'The country must adjust itself to lower
values for all kinds of products, lower
wages for workingmen, and smaller returns
from capital invested" This is indeed
frank and refreshing, but few supporters of
the measure have the courage to tell the
truth right out as Mr.. Burt has.

We take great pleasure in announcing to
our readers and friends that we have made
arrangements with the publishers of ''Pho-
tographic Tour of the World" to supply
this celebrated work in weekly parts to our
subscribers at the very low price of ten
cents per number when accompanied by a
coupon which will be published in the
paper each week. 1t will be issued in 16
consecutive weekly parts. each part con
tanning 16 Photographic views and historical
description taken from all over the world.
The size of each book is 10x12 inches,
printed on the best of book paper and from
halftone plates which bring out beauty and
expression even better than the photographs
themselves. All that is most desirable from
the Worlds Fair, such as the Court of
Honor, the fountain. Manufactures build
ing, interior and exterior, scenes from Mid
way. etc. are shown. Just now great in
terest attaches to the Hawaiian islands.
Book 8 will be devoted exclusively to the
scenes from the II awaiian islands, showing
''Queen Lil's" residence, the residence of
the American Minister, the beautiful scene
of lava which flowed from the volcano on
the islands, only three or four years ago we
believe, together with many other sights
and scenes there. Those who have never
seen or read of these islands will certainly
be surprised at their natural beauty, as well
as the degree of culture that must exist in
certain portions at least, judging from arch
itectural beauty of some of the residences.
AS we said before there will be 16 parts or
books, each book being 10x12 containing is
beautiful views making $50 views in all.
They will make collection that will not
only ornament the home but will be very
instructive as we'll. Ten cents and TINES
coupon each will secure you collection of
views that you wouldn't part with for a
good many times what you would have to
pay. We haye part at this Office for the
inspection of all who desire to see it.

Startling Discoveries of Fraud.

The astounding discovery that the salary
amendment votes of 1891 and 1898 cast in
Wayne county were increased in the first
case at least 14o0 and in the latter 1850 in
favor of the amendments leads one to Won
der where this business will stop. That
ALSO votes were added to the returns in
blocks of one hundred in twenty precincts
and fifty in another shows that the scheme
must have been engineered with great cum
ming. But a part of the returns of 1891
can be found and these show an increase
Of 400 votes in favor of the increase of the
attorney generals salary. The evidence all
goes to show that the frauds of 1898 are
but continuation Of those of 1891 and that
the same parties were engaged in both.
The grand jury will probably return some
indictments within few days.

''Floaters' as Factor IN New York Pol
tics.


itics.
During the last seven years there has been
great increase of cheap lodging houses in
the city of New York, whose capacity for
accommodation is limited only by the num-
Der of dodgers who can be crowded around
the stoves and upon the benches. The in
mates of these lodging houses are the no
MAIDS of our civilization with no home, no
family ties, no cares for nor interest in
government or country, and who around
election time are contracted for at so much a
head to register and vote. On the days of
registration these fioaters registered myth
cal names, giving the lodging houses as their
residence. In a majority of cases they
claimed to be native-born American citizens
uralized in another State. OF course it may
be said that if they swOre falsely they were
liable to punishment for perjury That is
true, but how is the perjury to be proven?
Who can swear that such man is not the
owner of the name he has given. or that he
is not a natiye-born citizen? There is
no record to appeal to. and he is practically
safe from contradiction. AS to the period
of his residence in the district he is equally
safe. There is no register or record kept in
the lodging houses; the only formality re-
quired Is the payment of small sum for the
night. The dodgers usually turn in late at
night, and are turned out early in the morn
ing. They rarely spend three nights In sue
cession in the same house. And these
tramps, many of them criminals, each regis
tered one or more names which were certain
70 be voted on by themselves or some other
tramps on election day. The same men
who registered did not. as rule, vote on
the names given. To have them do so
would require their maintenance at the lodg-
ing house, and that would be too expensive.
A more economic plan was adopted. A
few days previous to election the pro-
prietors of the lodging houses were furnished
by the election district captains, with lists
Of the names registered from their houses.
Separate slips for each name were then sup
piled. and they voted on the names thus
given as frequently as they could get the
slips. The election workers were never
hard pushed to bring out the registered vote.
They simply sent for the men when they
wanted them, and were always supplied
with the required number. Sometimes the
fioater forgot the name given him or could
not read the slip; sometimes a man who
could not speak English wrestled with an
American name, or an English speaking
nan struggled with Polish name. In
all Of these cases the obligng inspectors
helped them out either by looking at the
slip or by giving some sort of pronouncia-
ton to the unpronounceable name. In some
election districts there was rivalry as to
who could vote on the most names, and the
man who won the honors was an ex-convict.
