ed for any season, but perhaps more
generally when the languid ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the
liver Is torpid and sluggish and the
need Of tonic and Alternative is felt.
A prompt use Of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal

more surely in counteracting and

was only put.up job to aid in defeat

denies the accusation and says that
neither Reed nor Mckinley can be nom

vision permits the submission of the
question to the ''qualified electors" This
paragraph is part of the original codes
that we're approved Feb. 25, 1895, while
the amendment quoted yesterday, which
says only taxpayers" can vote on the
proposition, was not approved until
March 6, 1895. There is clearly u con-
tlict between the two and the question
is whether the latter is in force or not.
There is certainly doubt as to the
proper manner to proceed, and until a
competent decision is reached there is
room for difference of opinion.

A dispatch sent east from Frankfort
attributes the death of Senator Weis-
senger to excitement over the Kentucky
senatorial contest. The evident intent
of this is to manufacture sentiment
against Senator Blackburn. The prob
able fact is that his illness was from nat
ural causes and was aggravated by his
intense anxiety to serve Carlisle and de-
feat Blackburn. Had Mr.. Weissenger
done as he should, followed the demo-
cratic principle of majority rule and sup
ported the caucus nominee, the chances
are he would have been alive and we'll
today. If politics are in any way con-
nected with his death the blame lies
with Cleveland and Carlisle, who stirred
up the strife.

President j. j. Hill has landed in New
York en- route to Europe, and, 10, the
Associated Press feels it necessary to
send out statement that he is still
after the Northern Pacific. This it fol.
lows up with an assertion that if he
wants it he must buy it, the latter news
being attributed to one of the directors
of the road. Whether he wants it or
will get it, Mr.. Hill appears to be thorn
in the side of band Of gentlemen who
are fattening on the Northern Pacific
and who are anxious for more. At his
appearance in New York they put out
the danger signal, and his movements
are viewed with alarm and suspicion
The fact is the several contestants for
the road are afraid he will block their
game, and it will not be astonishing If he
does. Mr.. Hill is crafty general and
his proposed trip to Europe may not be
entirely for his health. There are a few
strings on that side that he is liable to
pull. Watch and wait.

presumably an official one. While there,
according to the Examiner, Mr.. Paulsen
induced the normal school commission
ers TO abandon the proposed heating
and ventilating system and adopt one he
recommended. The name Of the system
championed by the architect is not given.
1t may be all right, but it would be just
as we'll for the Dillon board to inquire
carefully into this important matter be-
fore committing itself. The normal
school is TO be located at Dillon, but it
belongs to the entire state, and the peo"
pie will hold those having 1t in charge
to strict accountability for mistakes
should any be made.

TO be kept thoroughly we'll posted on
the news of such an eventful year as
1896 promises to be, a person should
read the columns of live, wide awake
metropolitan paper, besides the county
or local newspaper. Now is the proper
time to begin a yearly subscription,
which will cover the presidential cam,
paign, the great speeches, the November
election and the outcome of all
the wars and troubles abroad. If
intending subscribers will heed word Of
advice they will send 81 to The Twice.a
Week Republic. They will recelve lu
return twice every week for year a
copy of the spicleat, newsiest and most
entertaining newspaper in the County,
The Twice-a Week Republic will make a
specially of giving all the political news
and speeches on both sides and at the
same time keep up the very entertaining
departments it has always contained.
A big lnducement is offered to those
who become SO interested that only
daily metropolitan paper will meet Their
wants. The Daily and Sunday RepubM
has been reduced to only sc year or (
for six months.

The question of county roads is one OF
the most serious that the commission,
ers have to deal with. While the pro
vision of the codes is not explicit it was
the intent OF the law that in large coun-
ties there should be specific appor-
tionment of the general road fund to the
several supervisors districts after the
plan now in vogue as to school moneys,
This has been done in several counties
and seems to meet with approval. In
Cascade the commissioners are as yet
undecided what course to pursue. They
will settle it at the present meeting and
the indications are it will be on the
proper lines of division as contemplated
by the codes. At any rate, it should be-.

1t now transpires that the much
talked concurrent resolutions of congress
on the Cuban question are simply an
expression of opinion on the part of that
body: that the president is not required
to sign them or to take any action to
give them force or effect. This is GER
tainly disappointing news to the people
of Cuba and of the United States, who
were led to believe that there was some
thing more to them than sound. On the
top of this information comes a stat :
ment alleged to have been made by Mr..
Cleveland to the Spanish minister that,
SO long as he is president, Cuba would
neither be accorded belligerent rights nor
recognized as an independent govern
ment. 1t is worthy of remark, and it
will be borne in mind by the people of
this country, that about the time Mr..
Cleveland was giving this assurance to
the representative of Spain mob in
Valencia was bombarding the United
States consulate. No need for comment,
the two incidents carry their own moral.
