 Gentlemen, it has been publicly charged that in some precincts of this county gross frauds were com mitted at the recent primary and that the returns made by the judges and clerks at those precincts are false and do uot reflect the wishes of the people as expressed by their bal lots. It is also charged on the streets that certain designing and eyilly disposed persons went about in the small hours of the night, through darkness and storm, and paid to certain election officers large sums of money to influence their official eondu uet. If these charges are true there is no punishment too severe to be Inflicted on the perpe- trators of such crimes. It is q mat ter of little importance to the public which one of any given number Of persons may hold q particular office, but it is of the very highest eonse- quence to every citizen, not only of Jefferson county but of the whole nation, that our elections should be fair ard the returns honest and truthful: that those who would corrupt the ballot box by either giving, offering or receiving money to defraud the voters Of their will should be promptly and severely punished. 1 charge you, gentlemen, to give this subject C careful inyesti- gation.

A writer in recent number of the
Scotsman has been gathering up the
traditions, literary and social, connect
ed with the buildings displaced by the
alterations consequent on the recent
reconstruction of the North Bridge,
Edinburgh. Among other buildings
now being swept away is the shop in
which Adam Black, the founder of the
well-known firm of publishers, A. & e.

ness as bookseller and stationer, and
where the reputation of the firm was

THEY CRY "MoRE, MORE"
Having Had Taste of Power the Corpora
tions Now Reach for Universal
Dominion.

The Carnegie company made $21,-
100000 last year and yet Mr.. Carnegie
is not satisfied. He wishes TO get pos
session of Mr.. Tricks interest for less
than its value.
The Standard Oil company has just
declared quarterly dividend of $780,
100000, OF at the rate of $60,000,000 for
the year, and yet it's directors are not
satisfied. They wish congress to pay
subsidies to the ocean-going vessels
in whose earnings they have share.
If there are any other American
corporations whose profits were S20,-
100000 last year or promise to be $780,
100000 this year, it may be taken for
granted that the men at the head of
them are no more satisfied than the
Carnegies and the Rockefellers and
are no more scrupulous as to the meth
DDS of adding to their possessions.
There seems to be no limit to the
rapacity of corporations which have
built up at the expense of the public
by excessive tariff protection, by IL
legal railroad determinations or Off
cial favoritism The men who rule
these corporations may not want
the EARTH" but they certainly want
the United States and the abundance
thereof.
They and their allies on land and
sea are working at the entire subj
CATION of the government so that they
may add millions to their present an
nual revenues of $2O,0OO,OOO in the case
of hn Carnorin SSn
600 in the case of the Standard Oil.
They try to put their creatures in
all official places which touch their
interests at any point.
They demand subsidies for their
ships.
They insist that the money of the
government be deposited in banks in
which they are heavily interested. so
they may be able to control the stock
markets and to lend to the tax PAYERS
the money which the latter have con-
tributed to defray governmental ex-
penses.
Their demands are usually complied
with.
There are three things that are
never satisfied; yea, four things say
not it is enough
That may have been the case in the
old Hebrew days.
To-day there are the Standard Oil
company. the Carnegie company, the
sugar trust, the international Naviga-
ton company. the National City bank
and other colossal corporations which
overshadow the government itself and
are never satisfied.
When will they have enough?-Ch

SUMMIT OF MONT BLANC.
The Ownership Thereof II Being Conc
tested by Three swiss NUM-
cIpaIItle5.

Mont Blanc is just now the center OF a
discussion which is being variously
treated with seriousness and humor by
the European press. The question is
this: Who is the owner of the top OF
Mont Blanc? No single or isolated in
dividual of eccentric propens!ties has
made q claim to the summit. TEe an2!r
Is much more complicated. Inree MI
inequalities. Chamounix, Les Touches
and ST. Gervais. have claimed tie sum-
I4it, and have appealed TO the Swiss gov
eminent to answer the question. 1t $
not a point of honor, or the prestige or
having n monopoly OF avalanchcs. but
mere matter of business. For :he las5
five years Mont Blanc has been i'll ever
increasing favor with tourists. and var'-
Gus spots situated at different attitudes
have been let out by one or another of
the three municipalities in question to
crterprisiEg projectors. Recently u.
was found that Chamounix had let more
mountain land than the other two
towns, and hot dispute arose &c TO her
right to do so. The great map of 1879
offers no relief to the contrasting parties,
because this chart only gives the d.
vision of properties on the lower o.
woody portions OF the mountain. The
Ceneya press. referring TO the dispute
il: a'humorous way, says that IL is the
first time in history that municipality
has adopted national scheme OF claim
ing "a sphere of infiuecne." But seri-
Gus persons consider that the problem
is really knotty one.

Undue Favor. for Wealth.

People are FESTIVE over the influence
of wealth in legislation. They are
coming to believe more and more in
the old Jeffersonian doctrines of equal
rights for all and special privileges
for none. But what do they see? At
every session of congress and of state
legislatures they see laws constructed
to favor the wealth of the country.
They see taxes taken off wealth and
laid on labor. They see these taxes
offered in bounties to those already
rich. No matter what the title of the
bill or its ayowed purpose, at the end
it works only one way. They are tir-
ing of this.-Milwaukee Journal

affairs, and these being the policies

affairs, and these being the policies
advocated by the men and newspapers
who represent the democracy that
>rill control the democratic conven-
ton, there can not possibly be any
existing prejudice in eastern demo-
cratic ranks against the principles of
populism, and / take it that this is
what Mr.. Patterson meant when he
used the sentence, Eastern prejudice
against populism is deep-seated and
ineradicable.'
There is, of course, class of east
ern democrats who are opposed to
progressive principles, call them "Bry
anism," ''populism," or what you
will. This class is very ably repre-
scented by the New York Times. which
tions of the principles represented
by Bryan. In a recent issue the
Times editorially treated of the very
points raised by Mr.. Patterson and
it may throw light upon the situation
to see how it is regarded by the enc
mics of reform. Says the Times:
"The party organization was seized
upon in 1896 by men who professed to
be democrats, but were populists by
belief and association. They have
kept their grip on it ever since. and
they control it to-day. They also con-
troll Bryan. and they will neither per-
nit any other candidate to be nomi-
mated by the democratic convention,
nor will they permit Bryan to discard
| or subordinate any of the cardinal
principles of populism.
"Those populists. therefore, who have
| lately expressed some concern lest
Bryan might be persuaded to make a
bid for eastern votes by assembling
or dropping some of the more dan
gerous doctrines of their party are
evidently not in the confidence of the
chief men of the tribe. Nor is it in
any way material whether the popu-
| lists nominate him first and leave
the democrats the privilege of in
dorsing' candidate already in the
| field or take him from the democrats
and 'indorse' him at their conven-
ton. Some of them have been dis
cussing this question with an appear
ance of anxiety, as though it were
more important. The democracy in
it's present degraded estate is too near
populism and too deficient in self-re-
spect to be at all particular whether
it gets its candidate by original nom
nation or at second hand"
The foregoing screed, which is self
evidently in the nature of wall OF
despair, should quiet Mr.. Patterson's
| fears.
Fear not, brethren. y political rev
olution is in process of elimination
and there will be u vehicle provided
for the expression of the peoples
will. Holding the balance Of power
in the United States, as the populists
with their 100000 votes do, it is right
and proper that they nominate the
men they wish to lead the revolution
and formulate the principles theil
movement stands for and upon which
the candidates must stand. Doubles:
the democratic party, in convention
assembled. moved by patriotic impulse
will indorse the candidates and adop
the principles, but if it does not there
will yet be party of the people in thu
field. GEORGE C. WARD.

A GREAT SPLURGE.
The Picturesque Downfall of Young
Man Who Tried to Make
an Impression.

He is from the aristocratic old town
of Richmond and visiting in Detroit.
Being young, pleasing and susceptible,
it was inevitable that he should become
enamored of some fair local belle. She
happened to be one of the most enthu-
siastic patrons of the skating rink. To
her there is no sweeter music than the
ring of the steel upon the ice.

curry. "Ce'tainly. | love the spoht.

They went. She entered the rink, her
cheeks agiow and her eyes sparkling.
He looked about him in a dazed way,
shivered and felt faint. Thought it
was rollah skatin',' he muttered to the
boy who was adjusting his skates.

over half dollar.
''Heah we ah'," announced Mr.. Rich

took his arm and the boy whispered to

about going slow. She was keen as a
race horse and struck out as though for
a time record. He set his teeth and
tried the roller motion. He will never
be able to describe the events of those
two seconds.
Eye witnesses declare that it was
nothing more than a Kaleidoscope fit.
The air was full of feet, warm winter
colors and screeches. The belle slid 40
feet with her nose as a brake. The boy
was pulled from under Richmond, fat
as a crush hat in repose.
Mr.. Richmond declared that it was
a mere nothing. Skate must have

claimed was ''broken COLA bone and

The success of this Company seems in
credible, considering the fact that they have
ness and industry is the secret of this Won
derful success. The quantity of goods they
require in some lines enables them to handle

SMALLPOX DISTRIBUTORS.
How the Germs Are Nurturcd and the
Disease Is Spread.

How the 4 Terms Are Nurturcu an q the
Disease Is Spread.
1t would seem that people will never
learn to be careful. The recent alarm
ing spread of that dire epidemic,
smallpox, throughout different sec
tions of the country has been traced
by physicians and sanitarians in many
instances directly TO the moldy and
rotting layers of paper and paste
which cover the walls of many houses.
The practice of laying layer after
layer of paper on n wall, using COM
mon flour paste, is especially calcu-
lated TO create homes for disease
germs. People could not do more to
effect such a result if they tried. The
rotting vegetable matter affords caves
from which are ready to dart forth
the infection at every opportunity
There is no excuse for this practice,
as walls and ceilings can be coated
with pure. clearly and sanitary ma
terial like Alabastine. for instance, at
no greater expense. Alabastine is a
rock-base cement, which incorporates
itself with the wall or ceiling. 1t is
easily applied, comes ready to mix
with cold water. requires no washing
or scraping before renewing or re
tinting, is beautiful, long-lasting and
safe.
For walls that have been infected
nothing is equul to Alabastine as c
disinfectant to render them pure anC
clean and the rooms once more hab

The above illustration shows one OF the
mammoth buildings occupied b.. the great
Mail Order House of the John NJ. Smyth
Company of Chicago.
For one-third of century this Company
has been in business. Beginning in a small
way they supplied their neighbors in the
nearby towns, each year widening their
field. They are now selling merchandise di-
rect to the consumer at wholesale prices
throughout the United States.
Some years ago they began supplying
their customers with an illustrated cata.
logue. AS the business expanded they
were obliged to increase the size of this
catalogue, until to-day it exceeds 1000 illus
trated pages, quoting the lowest wholesale
prices on everything to Eat, Wear and Use.
BY superior process of color photography
they illustrate many of their goods in natural
colorss, bringing out the rich color, value OF
curtains, carpets, draperies, and the latest
designs in wall papers, etc, thus enabling
the customer hundreds of miles distant TO
select goods at his own freside, knowing by
the description, illustration and price the
class of goods he may expect.
