ALast Word to Voters.

We deem it entirely unnecessary to
write lengthy political article on
the eve of election. We deem it true
that all who are competent to form an
opinion uponany subject, have already,
after three months of discussion of
the problems before the people, made
up their minds as to how they will
cast their ballot. If they have decided
wrong they as well as others will pay
the penalty. In turning the business
of the country over to the corporations
the money power, and the trusts,
they, who by their folly, do this, must
suffer with the others. If the voter
believes in granting special privileges
to the favored few at the cost OF the
many he should vote the republican
ticket, but if he believes in equality
of privilege, and that no person should
be taxed for the benefit of another he
should cast his ballot for the demo-
cratic ticket.

Our County Ticket.

| The candidates In nomination for
the several county offices are men Of
respectability, probity, integrity and
are pre-eminently fitted for the duties
they will be called upon to discharge.
They are all wellknown to those who
will be their constituents and have
their confidence and esteem. For
county auditor, in presenting the
name of L. ]. Glass the electors have
man ripe in judgment, thoroughly
competent, of good intellect and of
sound mind, with the physical health
and strength and the habits OF indus
try, and the courteous manners that
stamp him a model for the position.
For clerk of the court our candidate
compares fayorably with the best that
have ever been called upon to take
charge of the office. He has been and
is successful merchant and business
man we'll posted as to the require
ments of the office, man Of unques-
toned integrity has sound mind in
vigorous body, affable and courteous
to all, man highly respected, where
ever known. Such is the character
and reputation of Thomas M. Novak.
In our candidate for recorder the
people have careful, painstaking,
competent man, good scribe, familiar
with work and ready for any duty that
may be assigned him, courteous in his
manners, just such person as the
office requires, and as the people de-
sire. Such are a few Of the good quail
tiles possessed by e. S. Marsh who
should be elected for the office of Re-
corder the 9Th of November.
The most important county office
to be filled this fall In the county is
that OF the county supervisor. For
that Office the democrats have pre-
sented the voters of the second dis
trict with candidate that meets the
requirements that the Importance of
the office demands. His location too,
Is an important factor in his favor. AS
business man ]. w. Conway ranks
among the best of the comfy, a re-
quirement which will be very servic-
able to the public interests. He is a
man of integrity, of unquestioned
honesty of ripe judgment and dispo-
sition to do what justice may require
without prejudice to any interest. He
should have good majority in the
district.
The local republican papers tell you
to vote the ticket straight. But when
you want a man to work on your farm
or In your store or office you are not
particular about his politics. If he is
trustworthy. and able toperform your
work in an intelligent and satisfact-
ary manner, that is all you require in
your private business. Why should
you act otherwise when you assist in
the employment OF public servants as
you do through the ballot? Through
defeat parties are brought to recog-
nize and return to first principles, and
the only way to bring the republican
party back to its first principles is to
defeat and rebuke the corrupt lead
crs who have gone after false gods. q

Mr.. Fl. II. Black, the well-known
village blacksmith at Grahamsville,
Sullivan Co., N. Y. says: "Our little
son, five years old, has always been
subject to Group, aud SO bad have the
attacks been that we have feared
many times that he would die. We
have had the doctor and used many
medicines, but Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is now our sole reliance. 1t
seems to dissolve the tough mucus and
by giving frequent doses when the
croupY symptoms appear we have
found that the dreaded Group is cured
before it gets settled" There is no
danger in giving this remedy as it

The campaign against the new bank

banks has taken serious turn.
Opponents of the measure believe the
law tends solely to favor the Bank of
the Republic. Severe attacks are be-
ing made on this institution and Otto
peterson, the manager, has been made
the subject of grave accusations. 1t is
pelleved he and the Minister of Finance
will resign.

EARTHQUAKE IN
THE SOUTH SEAS
Many Natives Are Drowned by
Great Tidal
Wave.

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. 29.-Captain
p. Tornaros, a Sydney pilot, who re
turned there Just PRIOR to The sailIhg
o. the WarrImoo from New Britain re-
ports that while he was at HerbertS-
hohe one of the craterS was active.
1 he beach was almost wholly cove, ed
by lava. He was On board the gun
boat Protector on the 18th, and wnen
midway between MaLapi and Herberts-
hohe a severe shock Oh earthquake was
felt, lasting for fully a minute
Every one thought the ship was
aground, but, looking toward the
shore, they saw people rushing out of
their houses, evidently afraid they
would fall in upon them. After an in-
terval of about twenty minutes an
other shock was felt for about twenty
seconds, and at irregular intervals the
shocks continued ali day until p. m. !;
thirty-two distinct shocks were felt.
The water receded from the bay after
the first shock, leaving the jetty boats
on dry land.
The natives in large numbers rush
ed out to get the fish, myriads of
which were lying high and dry, but
their sport was short-lived, as a tidal
wave rolled in and all of them were
drowned.
After the first shock the lead over
the stern showed the three-fathom
mark was awash, but the water came
gradually back.
Captain Tornaros learned afterward
from Messrs Hernscheim that they
believed the island had lifted four
feet. There were fumes of birthstone
in the south and the east wind was
very strong. Some idea may be OBJ
tanned of the warmth of the water al
the base of the volcano from the fact
that when one of the officers of the
ship Munchen pulled through it in a
boat the paint was taken off as if by
Icaustic soda.

WANT A BIGGER CANAL.
How to Improve the Business OF NJ "
York's Great Ditch.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Major Thomas
W. Symons of the corps of United
States engineers has prepared an inter-
esting paper for the American Society
of Civil Engineers on the Canals From
the Lakes to New York. in which he
says in part
THE decline in traffic on the Erie
canal is due to very many causes, the
principal ones being that it is not in
any manner up to date. that the towing
is still being done on it largely oy
horses and mules and business has
never been organized and conducted
on modern lines. 1t has been seriously
handicapped by the fact that improve
ments have been undertaken and dis
cussed which would render the old type
and size of boats obsolete; rendering 1t
inadvisable as business proposition
for people to build new boats for canal
business or to replace those outworn,
with the possibility before them of
larger canal in the near future.
That the traffic on the Erie canal
has declined is true, but 1t would i'm
mediately spring up and grow to
enormous dimensions If proper barge
canal were built in it's place, if legisla-
tive restrictions on the capital of op-
Grating transportation companies were
removed and If the business were or
ganized In a thoroughly up-to-date
manner. 1t must not be forgotten that
if the Erie canal had stood still, or
worse than that, for the last thirty
years, the competing railroads have
improved their transportation facilities
enormously in ways which it is un-
necessary to recount here"

BRYAN IS A

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-A special TO the
Times Herald from Carbondale, H.,
says: James X. Jones and William j.
Stone, chief manipulators of the DEM
ocratic national machinery, have pre-
pared for their Thanksgiving dinner
by a carefully worded advice to the
party to rid itself of William Jennings
Bryan and his pet isms of 16 to / and
anti-expansion.
whether Mr.. Bryan will be a can
didate for the presidency in the near
future remains to be seen," smilingly
said National Chairman Jones of Lit
tie Rock last Thursday, but it is not
probable that he will. 1t is more rea-
sonable to presume that he would de-
cline the nomination, even IL it should
be offered him."
"My belief is that the Democratic
party has been too much party OF
negation in recent years." writes Ma
tional Vice Chairman Stone In letter
made public here today. The Demo-
cratic party must put forth great
ideas and policies OF its own looking
to the development and growth, along
right lines, of American interests"

plain warning to the Nebraskan that
rejection will be his portion If he
again seeks party leadership, but in
the letter from Mr.. Stone there is
something of even greater national
importance. Mr.. Stone takes the pub
lice into his confidence on another i'm
portant matter. He acknowledges
that he was not in sympathy with the
Kansas City platform. Those on the
inside know what he means thereby.
First and foremost, he was against a
specific 16 to / declaration. Next, he

Cuba. Moreover he is in favor of Am
