Always Accomp1ishes the Results for
Which 1t Is Intended.
A lawyer certainly understands the
value of testimony in establishing n
fact. The letters written by those who
have been cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla
have over and over again proved the
case'' for this great medicine. This
testimony has shown so many times
that Hoods Sarsaparilla cures when all
other medicines fail, that Hoods Sar-
saparilla is entitled to the verdict, The
One True Blood Purifier" P. NJ. Bu-
in the practice of law since 1883, and is
well known at the Fulton County bar.
He says:
eve have taken several bottles OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla in our family dur
ing the past year and have been very
much pleased with it's results. have
taken it as blood purifier and my wife
has used it for the same purpose When
ever we feel badly we resort to Hoods
Sarsaparilla and it always seems to &C.
complish the result for which it is in
tended. My wife was feeling very bad
~ and
Had That Tired Feeling, y
and she took Hoods Sarsaparilla with
benefit. When we take Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla the impurities Of the blood are
often forced through the skin by erup-
lions, but by continuing the use OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla the blood becomes
purified and the skin returns to its nor
NAL condition. Hoods SarsaparilIa al
ways seems to cleanse the blood and
we hold it in very high esteem as a
blood purifier" P. M. Buchanan, Esq,

The State Finances.

Gov. Scofield sent special message
to the legislature Thursday which was
not only considerable of a surprise to
the legislators but was made up of
some Of the strongest of business COM
mon sense. 1t related to the state
finances and pointed out three evils
which have been allowed to grow up
the past few years, in defiance of what
is right and constitutional. These
three evils may be briefly summarized
as failure to levy taxes sufficient 10
meet the expenses of the state; borrow
ing from trust funds, from banks and
asking advance payments of license
moneys from the railroads, and danger
Gus favoritism in the matter Of state
repositories.
One needs but to state these three
things as existing to show that the
state finances have been conducted on
anything but business principles, and
the governor pleads for business me-
thods for the future. He is on the right
track and thus gives another evidence
of the fact that the governor is to be
governor in fact as we'll as name.
The statement the governor makes
that the balances in the general fund
have been maintained by advances
from railroad companies and from
banks, in addition to borrowing from
the trust funds is a sensational state
ment and one which will cause flush of
shame to- that class of citizens who be-
Iieve in the strictest of honesty in the
conduct of financial affairs.
We must confess chat we have no
liking for a system of finance which
has to be propped by the favor of rail
road corporations, nor which mortgages
future revenues to pay current expenses.
Such system is vicious and liable to
gross abuses. The legislators owe it to
the good name of the state and the
republican party which is now respon-
sibie for the state affairs to correct this
system, even at the expense of the cry
of heavy taxes which is almost sure to
be raised by the party of expediency
without honor We commend Gov.
Scofield for his timely action in this
matter

The County Judgeship.

The people of this state have always
prided themselves on maintaining a
non partisan judiciary. This fact
makes it's citizens most secure in the
maintenance of all their rights. There
is no place for politics, or should be
none, in any judgeship election any
where along the line from the supreme
court judges to the justiceship of the
peace in the various counties. Justice
is not matter of politics, and should
never be dragged into its mire.
This coming spring we must elect a
justice of the supreme court in place of
Justice Marshall. Following the usual
course there will be no opposition to
the re election of that gentleman.
In Kenosha county we must elect a
county judge to succeed one of the
ablest and best county judges in the
state. The position has long been
filled by man of strong common
sense, sound judgment and the most
sterling quality of integrity. The
county would not be willing to accept
man to succeed Judge VanWyck who
would be lacking in these same quail
ties. We see no reason why r. 81.
Slosson would not be the right man for
the place. He has served in the Office
the past two years as register In pro-
bate, and is therefore, familiar with the
workings of the Office. It appears to
us that he fills the requirements in
every way, and would be able to take
up the re.ns where they were laid down
without the public's knowing that a
change had taken place. Mr.. SlossOn
is 80 well known that no special COM
mendation or sketch of him is needed
at this time Every point is covered
in the statement that he is undOubted-
ly che right man for the place, when all
politics is laid aside.

AS VIEWED BY REGENTS.
Some Objections to the Proposed State
Boar d of Education.

Some Objections to the Proposed State
Boar of Education.
University Regent George H. fNoyes
is very much in doubt whether the bill
which proposes to consolidate the
boards of regents of the State university
and of the normal schools into one new
body to be known as a state board Of
education, could stand constitutional
test The judge, when seen the other
evening, had not set thoroughly exam
ined the question, but he ventured to
say that in his opinion the board OF
regents of the university was distinct
corporation, holding property granted
and bequeathed to it by congress and
private persons, Of which the leglsla-
ture had no power to deprive it.
Both Messrs. Noyes and Johnson,
while rather diffident in expressing an
opinion, being members of the univer-
sity board of regents, disapprove de-
cidedly of the proposed change, express
ing doubt whether capable men could
be found who, while having their own
business to attend to, would do justice
to their duties so greatly Increased. The
result would be the transformation OF
the honorable office of regent into some
thing like the position Of members OF
the board of control. and the appoint
ments of the regents would in the end
be looked upon as mere political spoils
TO be filled without regard to fitness.

mons, and Mary Orth, of Somers.
The above marriage was kept quiet
by full consent Of the parties for time
until convenient arrangements could be
made for housekeeping. But John
postponed the happy day, and mean
while becomes enamored by the charms
of another young lady, whose name we
will not mention, who naturally was
not aware that she was receiving the
attentions of a married man; and a
rumor of a marriage in the near future
to this young lady brought matters to a
climax. The wife now asserts her
right before the law and other young
ladies will be saved from falling victims
to the wiles of a tickle married man.

THE matter of the removal Of the
state capitol from Madison has been
allowed to rest since 1870. Before that
time there was hardly a meeting OF the
legislature in which someone did not
bob up and introduce bill to have the
capitol removed. Now comes Assembly
man Peterson with a bill after the old
order. He wants the capitol to be
taken TO Milwaukee and q loan OF
ST. 600, 900 made to Milwaukee county
for the purpose of erecting a suitable
building. There is little danger of a
removal just now. There is consti-
tutional provision which requires the
state university to be at the seat of
government. Millions of dollars have
been put into that institution AID it
would be folly to talk ofremoving all
to Milwaukee, simply for the purpose
of tickling Milwaukee pride.
