the paralysis of hard times.' No won
der the Bulletin is mad and cries
"fraud". We would be mad if we had
to defend such fool propositions. A
democratic paper always gets mad when
confronted with its record. The Bulle-
tin in common with all democratic
papers, is trying to break loose from
its declarations of 1895. They want
the people to believe that democracy
means something different. Let us
ask the Bulletin a few questions, it will
not dare to answer them, but then it
never does answer a square question.
Did or did not the Iowa democratic
convention of 1899 endorse and reafirm
the national democratic platform of
1896?
Did or did not the national demo-
cratic platform of 1895 contain the
paragraphs as above printed?
Have or have we not hard times at
present?
Have or have we not monometallism
at PRESENT.
Would or would not a democratic
victory resulting in democratic national
supremacy be followed by free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1?
Why is the re- publication Of a O
ton of yoursown national platform of
1895 as reafirmed by your own state
convention of 1899, distasteful to you?
The Bulletin will below but it will
not answer these questions. Coming
down to county politics we would ask
the Bulletin some questions which will
also remain unanswered.
What portion of Mr.. Blume's record
do you point to with pride?
How many motions did Mr. Blume
make in the legislature? What were
they?
Was a petition of 300 names headed
by j. B. Romans presented to Mr..
Blume during the legislature? Did he
comply with the petition?
What bill did Mr.. Blame present to
the legislature, aside from a legalizing
acC TelatlVe TO ordinances passed by the
town council of Arion?
In what respect is Nh. Kuehl better
qualified to fill the Office of treasurer
than Mr.. G. E. Price?
In what respect is Harry Huntington
as we'll qualified for surveyor as Morris
McHenry?
Has or has not M. N. Smith made a
good coroner, and have his official acts
been at all tines consistent with
humanity and proper respect for the
deady
These are but a few of the questions
we have to ask; we shall have some
more next Friday. In the meantime
we dare the Bulletin or any other
representative of democracy in Craw-.
ford county to answer these?

1t will be amusing to many democrats
to learn from the Bulletin that those
who are in the Denison ring" are
angels and those not in the ring are re-
vengeful soreheads. Let us reverse the
situation and ask what the Bulletin
and its ring would have done had not
its ticket been nominated. The Bulle-
tin announced it's intention to bolt
should the convention not nominate
its men.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF..

Mr.. A. @. Beers of Manila, the re.
publican candidate for sheriff, is a maj
in every way qualified for the position.
He has the enthusiastic support of his
home town-democrats and republic
cans alike vowing to support him with
all their might. A man who comes
with that kind of an endorsement is a
man worth considering. In our last
issue we omitted Mr.. Beers from men
ton in u article OF the ticket because
his enthusiastic Manila friends wished
to present his candidacy more at length
and the manuscript did not reach us
in time for publication. We assure our
readers that the omission was not made
because Mr.. Beers was not one of the
strong men on the strongest ticket ever
presented to Crawford county; he is a
strong man and anyone who thinks he
is going to be behind the balance Of
his ticket will have a bad case of mis-
placed confidence in November.
Mr.. Beers is n Of Manilla's most
popular business men, together with
his partner, Mr.. Crakes, he runs one of
the best livery barns in the county. All
over the southern part of the county
he knows and is known by every one,
and what is better he is liked by all.
Mr.. Beers is a man of 41years of age.
strong, active and in the prime of life.
He is a Canadian by birth, but moved
with his parents to the United States
in 1862. VIZ a say of MIR. Beers that
he is thoroughly American in the
broadcast and best sense of the term.
For fourteen years he has been a resi-
dent of Crawford county thus having
spent nearly all his manhood DAYS in
our midst. He came here as a poor
man ready to dig a livelihood out Of the
hills of Crawford. For several wears
he rented a farm in Iowa township. by
hardiwork and economy he was enabled
to purchase a farm in Nishnabotny
township, this he sold and moved to
Manila where he has since resided.
His record is one of hard work. econ
omy and perfect integrity. To be as
honest as Ashley Beers, is as good as
any mar need hope to be. Should Mr..
Beers be elected, as we sincerely hope
he will be, he will be a fearless officer.
a man who will know his duty and who
will not shirk it, an officer through
whom no man will lose a cent. a kind
hearted man who would perform what
ever painful duties he might be re.
quired to with the utmost kindness and
consideration. This is the kind of a
man we present as our candidate for
sheriff. You need not take our word
for it, ask any man in Nishnabotny or
Iowa townships and he will say the
same. Mr.. Beers is going to be a vote
winner this fall, he is the kind of man
the people like, a nan who can sympa-
thize with others, a man who has been
proven Kind and true and faithful in
every relation in life. In every essen,
tial qualification for the office Of sheriff
he is all that could be asked. A vote
for Beers is a vote for a good conscien
tious, faithful man.

The Earl of Meath came forward this
week as the pioneer of a scheme of mill
tary drill for all lads between thirteen
and eighteen years of age. A committee,
called the British Brigade Council has

mander in Chief of the forces; General
Lord Roberts of Kandahar, the command
er of the forces in Ireland, and number
of other prominent men have written in
SUPPORT OF THE MOVEMENT,
which is intended to create sort of sec
ond line of volunteers. The War Office
will be asked to provide a capitulation
grant for these cadet battalions. The
Earl of Meath anticipates enrolling 100000
lads. who will eventually be converted
into a useful, trained reserve, so that, in
future, in time of grave emergency, the
government will have at hand hundreds
of thousands of young men already quail
fled to enter the ranks of the regular
troops.
In an interview. after referring to the
Russian danger, the Earl said:
Though at present we are on the
friendliest terms with the United States,
it must not be forgotten that, in Canada,
we have an enormous tract of more or less
vulnerable frontier adjoining the United
States"

ator said, whether we are to pay the
money before the goods are delivered?"
Mr.. Davis referred Mr.. Mason to
the text of the treaty for his reply. He
said the Spaniards had shown their
good faith by preparing as speedily as
possible to evacuate the ceded islands.
They had ceased to defend them for
themselves, and therefore Spain could
not be held responsible for any failure
on our part to avail ourselves of SOW
ereignty. He understood that the rati-
fication Of the treaty bound us to the
payment of the indemnity, regardless
of the attitude of the natives of the
Philippines.

sion-weston Bank Reserve Agent-Con-
corning Stolen Cigars.
Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, d. c., January 2S-Sen-
ator Mason, of Illinois, has had inserted
in the Congressional Record a remarkable
collection of editorial opinions, taken
from the leading agricultural journals of
the country, north, east, south and west,
showing that there is a strong sentiment
among farmers against the policy of ex-
pansion which the Republican party pro-
poses to foist upon the country. This may
account in some degree for the almost
daily outgivings from the White House
and from members of the cabinet to the
effect that the President has not yet made
up his mind as to the disposition of the
Philippines. Nevertheless the leaders of
his party on the floors of both Houses of
Congress daily proclaim the intention of
the administration to annex the archipel-
ago.
Senator Hoar has presented the petition
of Caleb Burt and twenty-nine other cit
liens of West Virginia, protesting against
the annexation of the Philippines.
The Comptroller of the Treasury has
approved the Hanover National Bank of
New York city as the reserve agent of
the National Exchange Bank, of Weston.
w Va
Star mail service has been established
from Sulphur to Elk Garden, w. Va, six
times a week.
In reply to letter from Collector A. B.
White, of Parkersburg, w. Va, Acting In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Wilson has
ruled that manufacturers claiming loss of
cigars by theft are required to file salts
factory evidence showing that the cigars
were actually stolen. This ruling relates
to a case where a manufacturer claimed
the loss of 925 cigars through the pecu-
lation of employees. Regarding this fea-
ture of the case the Commissioner further
ruled that any alleged peculation by en-
ployes throughout the year could not be
credited on the manufacturer account.
