A Queer ~ Medicine.

There is medicine whose proprie-
tors do not claim to have discovered
some hitherto unknown ingredient
or that it is cure-all This honest
medicine only claims to cure certain
diseases, and that its ingredients are
recognized by the most skilled phv-
sicians as being the best for Kidney
and Bladder Diseases. 1t is Foley's
Kidney Cure.

r. L. JOINER FOR CONGRESS.

The Dodgeville Chronicle an
nounces upon authority of Hon.
Robert l.. Joiner that that gentle
man has decided to accede to the
wishes Of many friends and become
a candidate for the Republican nom
ination for Congressman from the
third Wisconsin district. The Chron-
icle says
1t gives us great pleasure 10 learn
that Hon. Robert l.. Joiner has
yielded to the solicitation Of many
representative republicans Of this
and neighboring counties nd given
his consent to allow the use of his
name rs candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for congressman
from this district. Mr.. Joiner needs
no Introduction TO the people of
Iowa county. He has grown up
among them, and has been known
from his youth as Il faithful member
and able advocate of the principles
Of the republican party. His nomi-
nation by the convention would be
an honor which would be very highly
appreciated by the great mass of Re-
publicaus AS well as by the people
of this county In general, and we are
fully confident that his course az IA
congressman would be such as to
greatly strengthen and harmoniSe
the party throughout the district
and promote the best Interests of the
people in every way possible. Let 1t
be Congressman Joiner, and no one
Will have any just cause for COM
plant
1t hus been known for some time
that Mr.. Joiner was being strongly
urged by representative men of Iowa,
Grant, Sank and Crawford counties
to enter the lists for congressional
honot-. These men know Mr.. Join
er's experience ana excellent record
rs state senator, his sterling nteg-
rity, he fine abilities, his allegiance
to the peoples interests, aud his per-
feet independence of all influences
inimical to the public good. Know
ing him thus, they naturally turn to
him as the man for the hour. The
demand for a change in the office Of
congressman for tls district Il SO
general and 50 positive that sew
cral candidates are asking for the
consideration of voters, and the
probable 70 each OF these aspirants
is conceded qualities calculated to
make him IA crcditable representa-
tive, but in Mr.. Joiner we have the
peer of the best of them. His nomi-
nation would be "a recognition of the
practical, working farmers of the
district. and for thatr reason especially
it is one highly proper TO be made.
The farmers Of this district furnish
the republican mujoritics, and yet
no one ot their calling has ever been
the party nominee. Now, when one
OF this class, admitted to be admir-
ably qualified and cmiueutly worthy,
is presented as n candidate, is it not
due this principal element OF the
party that he lac nominated2 There
is not room TO doubt that Iowa
county will send To the congressional
convention a solid delegation that
will zralously support Mr. Joiner,
and there is good rcasot 60 hope that
they will hr able To convince the
convention that ne is the most elig-
ible man to nominate. Tho TRIBUNE

ordered pending final action on SAID
resolution in January following, the
same editor did, in the interim, pro-
cure from the County Clerk an order
to do job Of printing that would
not be needed until the following
May, such incidents would be no ar
gument why Mr.. Babcock should
not be nominoted for fourth term.
The Linden postmaster's insinua-
ton that the TRIBUNE might be
bought to support Nh. Babcock for
denomination by appointment AS
postmaster al Mineral Point was to
be expected from one who changes
front for a small consideration. The
editor Of the TRIBUNE will here state,
for the benefit of whom it may con-
cern,n that he has never directly or
indirectly sought appointment for
himself or for any other person, from
Mr.. Babcock. On the contrary, the
writer has repelled overtures, com
ing through accredited Babcock
channels, with assurance of positions
for himself or an immediate friend,
worth many times the salary Of the
Linden post-oilice.
This much Of personal nature is
given with an apology to our readers,
and hereafter in the discussion Of
candidates for congress attempts to
divert US from the main question
will be ignored as far as possible.
Meanwhile the public ear should be
kept close to the ground to catch any
word that may be offered in support
Of the claim of superior ability or
marked devotion to the peoples in
terests exhibited by Mr.. Babcock,
during his three terms in congress.
As one evidence of his unfaithful-
ness TO the interests of his consttu-
euts and the country, we have cited
his votes upon the schemes for re-
funding the Pacific railroad debt.
His votes upon these propositions
are shown by the records of the 53d
and 9th Congresses. AS to the
measures themselves, it is now gen
orally admitted that they were bare
faced outrageous jobs, which, had
they been passed. would have robbed
the people of S6f00000O, since covered
into the L. :. treasury from claims
against the Pacific railroads.
Further, Mr.. Babcock not only per-
sistently voted for these "bareiaced
outrageous jobs but was an active
lobbyist for them, and exhibited as
an excuse for his course telegram
from the notorious Boss Tom Platt,
of New York, advising him to sup
port the measures. BY his action in
this matter alone, which none of his
supporters deny, Mr.. Babcock for
feited all claim to the confidence of
the people of this district. And
"therc are others" ". II. b.

"LAFoLLETTE, the Hobgoblin,H is,
according to the Linden postmaster,
stalking through this district to
brighten the people away from the
immaculate Babcock. The 7. NJ.
sees Bob La Toilette In the budding
bushes and behind the political
fences, in the gray Of the morning,
in the shadows east by the midday
sun and in the cleaning of the eve
ming. The purpose of this nemesis is
To take Babcock's political life lest
this incompatible champion of the
peoples rights may do more valued
public service as t. :. senator.
Then the 7. NJ. solemnly assures us
that Mr. Bahcock ais simply candi-
date for denomination for congress -
that MIR. Payne is the pronounced
candidate for senatorial honors,r
but that "he may not be considered
rs eligible candidate as Mr.. Bah

to have undertaken the task of con-
vincing the people Of this county

wholly bad, rs well as to persuade
us that the district and county will
go direct to the donation bow-wows
unless Mr.. Babcock is returned to
congress for a fourth term. There is
