Strictly Negligence.
At the meeting of deputy supervis-
ors of election yesterday at St. Glars
vile, it was discovered that the Re-
publican township committee of Pease
had failed to make any report of their
nominees. The Democrats had, but
as the members present had a major
ity for the Democrats, they, through
charity, allowed the nominees names
to go on the ticket, except the Bridge
port precinct assessor, whose name
could not be learned, and, OF course,
had to be left vacant on the Republi-
a ticket. This act of the Democratic
members fully shows how non-partisan
they are, and that through negligence
of the Republican committee, they
would not take advantage Of it, but it
has set a precedent that in the future
primaries will be held under the direc-
ton of the deputy supervisors, unless
it is a mass convention. This is a fair
warning to the people and even to-day
it is doubtful if the ticket is lawful.
In the village Of Flushing neither par
ty made returns and of course they are
without any candidates. This is the
first precedent of it's kind in Belmont
county.

The Euchre Club met Tuesday after
noon with the Misses Dent at their
home in Brookside. The playing was
spirited and interesting. The first prize
fell to Miss Togle; the visitors prize
to Mrs. Hoge, and the lone hand prize
was won by Miss Musser. The club
members present were Misses Fogle.
Sharpe, Musser, Kuhn, Branum, Dun

Politics is quiet in this town and
there is no excitement. 1t is said all
are working on the quiet and this must
be true, for they have certainly kept
down even street corner conversation.
The outcome is surely in doubt. The
Democrats are united and the Repub-
licans are divided and in this division
one can see that the ticket has any
thing but clear sailing before it. One
thing is sure the people are satisfied
with their present mayor.

THE RING POTS A VICTIM.

The Elkins-Scott combine is getting
in its work in telling fashion these
days. The machine never forgets nor
forgives and it is just now engaged
in evening up old scores in a way cal
culated to take the starch out of those
Freer Independents who are not conf
dent of the ability of the independent
movement to down the ring.
DR.. J. ]. Haptonstall is the latest to
feel the vengeance of the ring. 1t will
be remembered that DIR. Haptonstall
refused to stultify himself by voting
for Mr.. Scott for United States Sena-
tor and declined to be bullied, or
brow-beaten from his position or
bought off. His manly stand dead
locked matters and DR.. HaptonstalPs
name was at once inserted in the
bosses black list.
Now. it is the rings turn and
through ring influence the Doctor has
been ousted from the Craftsmanship of
the county committee OF Fayette.
Thus the ring cuts another notch in
the handle of it's bowie knife. There
must be no questioning of it's COM
plete power in the Republican party.

been fex and unimportsnt and that
animals come out of the blizzard sea-
son in remarkably good condition. This
is regarded as something uncommon,
for many thousands of young southern
cattle were turned out on the ranges
last fall and had to rustic" for food
during the winter. Perhaps the light
SHOWS gave them a better chance tina
usual at the range grasses.
IF these reports shall be confirmed
from all directions says our Chicago
contemporary, sit will indicate a larger
supply of beef for the near future and
lower prices for table meats, which
took an extraordinary rise a year ago.
1t will be understood that the cattle
ranges from which the main shipments
come are largely supplied with stock
from the south, young creatures sent
northward to feed IN the more nutri-
tive grasses of the higher ATTITUDES.
These animals get their start in Texas
and grow to the beef age in Wyoming,
the Dakotas and parallel territory. If
the younglings do not find plentiful
grazing, or if the winter is too severe,
they perish in large numbers. If they
survive the inclemencies of the eli
mate to which they are not accustom-
ed in the spring they wax fat on the
northern grasses, giving them vigor-
Gus nutrition, and another year makes
them the best marketable stock, except
that grown on the farms of Illinois,
Wisconsin and Iowa.
IF the cattle supply from the ranges
is larger this year it will regulate the
price of every class Of meat in the
markets. Dealers who raised prices
last year will be glad to lower prices.
The change will reduce the cost of liv-
ing in every home, and it will be felt
with the greatest sense of relief in the
homes of the poor"

The Man with nm Adj.

There's the man with the pick and the

And the man with the horny spade,
But the man with the "ad." IS the man
ever glad,
For he collars his share of the trade.
There's the man with the hat, snd the
man with the shoe.
And the man with the automobile.
But whoe'er. East or West, in an lad
will invest,
Is the man at the top of the deal.
There's the man with the frown and the
man with the sigh, }
And the man of perpetual grief.
But just make up your mind, that 40 man
of that kind,
In an lad" has the slightest belief.
For the man of the East or the mar of the
West,
With a smile or a face all aglow,
Is the man who has had by the aid of
an "ad.'
A trade that has brought in the cough.

TO FIGHT THE WAR TAXES.

The Illinois Manufacturers Associa-
and organized war against the war
revenue act. In this it will be backed
by the entire business community, on
whom the war taxes are a most an
noying and costly burden.
When the war revenue tax bill was
pending In. Congress the people were
solemnly assured that it was only
temporary, a mere expedient to tide
over the war. But as soon as the
measure became law these promises
ceased and those making them began
to fear that the expenses entailed by
the wal would render it necessary to
make the wal taxes permanent. And
these annoying taxes have been with
us ever since and seem destined to
stay unless an organized movement
among the business men of the country
such as that started by the Illinois
Manufacturers Association shall open
Congresses eyes. Speaking of the Asso-
cations action, an exchange says:
How much influence it may have, d.
rectly or indirectly, upon Congress is an
other matter. That will depend largely
upon the viger with which coordinate
commercial associations and individuals
take up the agitation. There should be
systematic determination not to rest until
Senators and Representatives have ade-
quate knowledge that the sentiment of the
country is overwhelmingly against a con-
tinuance of extraordinary stamp duties.
THE American people have submitted
with more or less grace for nearly two
years to the enforcement of an act that
was justly termed extraordinary at the
time of its passage. 1t revived the war
customs of taxing the little things, the
commercial transactions and the thousand
and one petty barters in the daily business
world. While necessity existed for such
annoyance and oppression there could be
no protest by loyal citizens. But when the
authors of the wal revenue act coolly take
it for granted that the American people
rather enjoy licking war stamps and make
no move toward the repeal of the onerous
system of taxation they make a colossal
mistake. The act should be repealed by
this Congress and not left for a successor.
From various sections of the country
there are ominous rumblings of discon-
tent at the posthumous vigor of this relic
Of the Spanish-American imbroglio. Citi-
Eens of the second city of the union will
do we'll to follow the lead of the Illinois
Manufacturers Association and lombard
their representatives at the capital with
lntimations that licking war stamps in
these times is an anomaly and a nuisance
Which is most excellent advice for
the rest of the country.
