Col. Hardy. Canvass. I'm the Second.

SOls ~ enC SCCO1Os
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
While so much is being said about the
great fight made by various Congressman
who were elected last Tuesday let me say
to your many readers that a more gallant
fight anywhere was never made than that
by our brilliant and able Congressman of
the Second district, Alexander M. Hardy.
This is an agricultural district. where the
Democratic times have not been so sorely
felt as in the manufacturing localities. and
for that reason our Democratic friends did
not think they could be o-verpowered, con-
sidering their great majority. Two years
ago John L. BretZ, Democrat, was elected
by 1900, while Mr.. Hardy's plurality is
1.SO0Ea change of $3.50 votes. The canvass
made by Mr.. Hardy is without precedent
in this section. He spoke in every town
ship, and in some two or three INES. He
travelled night and day, by rail, carriage
and foot, making from two to three speech
es every day. We have yet to hear of the
first adverse criticism on any of his speech
es. Mr.. Hardy Is a fine lawyer, a brilliant
talker and deep thinker. He has the fac
ulty of saying the proper thing at the right
time. No mar in this district is better able
to represent it's best interests, and we are
all proud of him. We are proud of our
entire delegation. LOU BLACK.

Hot Pressed.

The MIDLAND JOURNAL, did not get
excited, as the Oxford Press would have
it, in noticing the very characteristic fact
that the Press recommended Mr.. John
Wanamaker for the U. S. Senate, nor did
the JOURNAL take exception mainly on
the ground that he had been a successful
business man." nor exception on any
other ground but merely pointed to the
fact that Mr.. Wanamaker was of the mil
lionaire family and would on that account
''ht'' in the American House of Lords,
but what was more to the point and
warmed up the Press, that great many
country papers like the Press were too
ready to ''bend the pregnant hinges of
the knee that thrift may follow fawning."
Truth cuts and that's what is the matter
with the Press. They would rather be soul
lions in the kitchen of Dives than indie
pendent American citizens. They bunker
and fawn and cringe at the feet of the
gold bug plutocracy and miss no oppor-
tunity to pay homage to the aristocracy
of wealth.

The Saloon Campaign.

The saloon party has selected the
Cecil County News through which
to make its canvass for license votes
and employed competent writer
to furnish weekly letters over
numerous nom de plumes, in which
the most PLAUSIBLE sophistryis used,
stock arguments which have been
refuted and their hollow sham eX
posed hundreds of times. But they
know the fatal lapse CT memory of
the average man and dress up these
old pleas for the liquor trade in
new clothes, insert TIE stale argu
ment in the columns of the News
in weekly short letters and dis
tribute the papers throughout the
county. Every saloon is conven-
lent centre of distribution. The
common sense and large experience
of the people ought to need no
prompting to remined them of these
old saloon tricks, and their business
knowledge, moral stamina and
regard for humanity should be
trusted their decision to vote againt
again licensing the whiskey trade
in Cecil.
Every body knows that the
drunkenness has been ten fold
greater under our four years OF
license than under prohibition, and
that if the stories the saloon party
tell of more liquor being sold under
prohibition than under license were
true, that every saloon champion
would be in favor of prohibition.
This is self evident proposition
And that to countenance and encOur-
age the crime of drunkard making
by giving it the sanction of law is a
better preventive than placing ii
under the ban of law, is so prepos-
ferrous and such trayesty of com
mon sense, that no advocate should
risk Offering it as reason for licens-
ing saloons; but these old fraud
pleas are trotted out again as though
they were all new ideas.
Every thing advanced by the
saloon literary bureau through the
News is shelf goods. They have
all been overturned by cold facts a
hundred times. We trust the
average voter will not again be
misled by the same old saloon sop
histry, but will vote for "Betty and
the baby in preference to the
saloon hummer. Look at the
specimens who run the saloons
whose sole trade is to sell bad
whiskey and do not pretend then
houses are necessary for public ac
commodation at all. Don't bt
fooled by saloon tricks and salOor
stock arguments, but vote 'Eagainst

The Baconian Literary Society
was called to order last Friday
evening by the president, Frank c.
Kirk. The literary program was
cut little short, so that sufficient
time might be allowed for the
"great question" to be debated,
Resolved, that we should marry for
love rather than money. The dis
eussion was to the point, and the
orators had little trouble in holding
the attention of the hearers. Prof.
Bowers and Mr.. Chas. L. Buhing-
ton were on the affirmative side,
and Prof. Tinsley and Miss Clara
A. Keilholtz debated on the mega
tive. Mr.. Burlington did not APP
pear in time and Mr.. Linn Worth
ington was appointed by the pres
ident to assist Prof. Bowers. The
speeches offered by Miss Keilholtz,
Profs. Bowers and Tinsley showed
careful preparation. After all had
had their say the judges retired.
When they offered their report, the
only judge who has had opportu-
nifty to know, viz, has been mar
ried, granted the decision for his
part in fayar of the negatives. The
others having their share of senti-
ment, two to one, the affirmative
won. The negatives respectfully
yielded.
A party consisting of teachers

near the hour of noon we found
ourselves upon the beautiful campus
at Lincoln University. The ladies
of the party had beforehand pre-

under the shade of the sturdy trees
which grew on the campus at the
famous institution, we partook to
the full satisfaction Of the inner
man. We were kindly shown
around the handsome buildings and
laboratories, listened to the sweet
music as played by one of the
students of the University and one
of our Professors. We were very
much impressed with facilities
which this institution affords for
educating its students, and each of
us left the spot feeling that we had
been much more benefited than if

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube gets inflan-
med you have runbling sound of I'M
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but all inAamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

A Wonderful Conqueror.

No disease is more common among the
people than scrofula Handed down from
generation to generation to generation, il
is found in nearly every family, in some
form. 1t may make its appearance in
dreadful running sores, i'll swellings il
the neck or goitre, or in eruptions OF
varied forms. Attacking the mucous
membrane it may be known as catarrh,
or developing in the lungs it may be, and
often is, the prime cause of consumption
In whatever form scrofula may manifest
itself, Hoods Sarsaparilla is its inveterate

Free coinage of silver, not that

product of the United States is one
of its valuable crops and the higher

ton of silver the price of the bull
lion will at once be raised to 81 20

There is no medicine so often needed
i'll every home and so admirably adapted
to the purposes for which it is intended,
as Chamberlain's Pain Balm. Hardly a
week passes but some member of the
family has need of it. A toothache or
headache may be cured by it. A touch
of rheumatism or neuralgia quoted The
severe pain of burn or scald promptly
relieved and the sore healed in much less
time when medicine has TO be sent for.
A sprain may be promptly treated before
inflammation sets in, which insures a cure
in about one-third of the time otherwise
required. Cuts and bruises should re-
ceive immediate treatment before the
parts become swollen, which can only be
done when Pain Balm is kept at hand.
A sore throat may be cured before it be-
comes serious. A troublesome corn NAV
be cured and several days of valuable time
saved or pain i'll the side or chest re-
leved without a doctor bill. Procure a
so cent bottle at once and You will never

Perjury Tax Economy.

The attempt to bring to justice
saloon law breakers four years under
the prohibition law demonstrated
the fact that if the courts and pro-
scouting officers did not prosecute
witnesses forperjury that it was use
less for grand .iuries to find bills
against the culprits, hence the
"saving" of court expenses under
the license law. 1t was the per-
jury of saloon witnesses and not the
lack Of law breaking which saved
court expenses, the last three years.
If the people favor that kind OF
economy in taxation they may as
well close their churches, for under
saloon regime it will be impossible
ere long to convict any grade OF
criminals.
