Still More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed
another band of counterfeiters and
secured large quantity of bogus
bills, which are so cleverly exc
!cuted that the average person
would never suspect them of being
spurious. Things of great value
are always selected by counterfeit
ers for imitation, notably the cele-
brated Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, which has many imitators but
no equals for indigestion, dys-
pepsia, constipation, nervousness
and general debility. The Bitters
sets things right in the stomach,
and when the stomach is in good
order it makes good blood and
plenty of it. In this manner the
Bitters get at the seat of strength
and vitality, and restore vigor to
the weak and debilitated. Beware

force and their votes are regarded
as necessary to sustain prohibi-
ton, it is to be feared that real
honest believers in the doctrine of
prohibition are too often led to
view with compromising compla-
cency, the constantviolation of the
law by these expediency prohibi-
tionists. The writer hereof be-
lieves in obeying the law and in
its strict and rigid enforcement.
He believes that it would be a
blessed thing for this common
wealth and all it's people, if strong
drink could be banished and kept
out of the state, so that we could
rear a generation of men and
women free from the temptation
and evil effects of alcoholic liquors.
He thinks, further, that constant
violations Of this law will beget in
difference and disrespect for all
law. It is the duty Of all we'll
meaning citizens to insist on and
aid in the enforcement of this law
as they most certainly are willing
to do in regard to other laws. If
this enforcement shall effectually
drive the curse from our borders, a
great good will have been accom-
plished and generations to come
will bless us for doing that work.
But if, as some claim, rigid en-
forcement shall drive the great
majority Of our people over to the
license system, the sooner we
know this the better. Let the law
lpe enforced at all hazards. This
constant violation of the law is a
menace to all law and order, and
we repeat the words Of Pitt, "Where
law ends, tyranny begins Let us
have an honest enforcement of the
law.

OUR PROTECTIVE TARIFF,

Free traders still have the hardi-
hood to claim that foreigners will
not buy our goods because they
resent our protective tariff policy.
They persist in adhering to their
theories, in spite of the facts which
are all against them. IF there
was anything in the theory, there
ought to have been a fearful
shrinkage in our foreign commerce
during the past few years. But
what are the facts? Just as soon
as President Mckinley signed the
Dingley bill our exports began tc
increase. and they have kept on in.
creasing until the sales of Ameri.
can goods in foreign markets have
reached a greater volume than ever
before in the history of our coun.
try. If any country could be ex.
pected to have a disposition tc
boycott us on account of our tariff
system it would be Great Britain,
but the truth is she buys nearly
half of all the goods we export
She buys great deal more than
France and Germany combined
The free trade philosophers, like
the Bourbons, 'never learn and
never forget" They keep right on
playing upon harp of a single
string spirit of humbug most per
feet" They will talk today just as
glibly as they did years ago, about
the tax on the dinner pail of the
working man and the fearful tax
on sugar with which he sweetens
his tea and coffee. But the free
trader, like Ephram of old, is
"joined to his idols, let him alone. y

OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE COUNTY
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER %, 1899.
THE PROHIBITION LAW.

"Where law ends, tyranny be-
gins" These are the words Of the
younger Pitt. Law protects high
and low, rich and poor. The laws
of civilized country should be
respected, obeyed and enforced.
If there is a bad, impractible law
upon the statute book, it's vigorous
enforcement will bring about it's
repeal. If the law prohibiting the
sale Of liquor in this state were
vigorously and thoroughly en-
forced, then there would be a fair
test as to the wisdom of prohibi-
ton in dealing with the liquor
question. If we rightly under
stand the law, it prohibits the
bringing Of liquor into the state
whether it be for sale or private
use. Now, it would seem that
those who are opposed to the
principle of prohibition should be
the most jealous for the vigorous
and strict enforcement Of the law
For if it is fact, as they claim,
that the most of our people use as
a beverage ale, beer, wine and
strong drink, and their supply
should be cut off by the operation
of the law, all those who are not
teetotalers, and yet are senti-
mentally in favor Of temperance,
would become the bitter opponents
Of the prohibition clause in our
constitution and the law enacted
under it, and we should soon go
back to the license system. The
trouble in all prohibition states has
been, that in none of them has the
law been thoroughly tested-that
is, rigidly and strictly enforced.
There are two classes Of prohibi-
tionists. One class honestly and
sincerely believes in prohibition
and it's efficacy in promoting the
cause of temperance and bettering
the condition of the people. These
believers in prohibition are good,
true and sincere men and women
It may, perhaps, be that they are
mistaken, but no one can doubt
their honesty and sincerity.
There is another class who favor
prohibition because they think it is
popular with a large, infuentia.
and decent number of voters. II
is too often the case that the per.
sons of this class are not parti.
cularly interested in the cause o1

ments outside of the state, and
have it sent in packages. So long
as they get what they want and
their appetites are satisfied, they
are in favor of prohibition. AS

Charles A. Pillsbury, the famous

funeral took place Tuesday, and

The council Of French ministers
on Tuesday last decided to pardon
Captain Aired Dreyfus in prin-

used in semi-ofcial announce

seems to have but slight bearing
on the matter, except, perhaps,
that it implies the fulfllment of
various formalities before the par
don, in order to avoid demonstra-
tions. Dreyfus says that he will
not rest until he is vindicated, stat
ing that his freedom is worthless
to him without his honor, 'taken
from him by frightful judicial
error"
