Expensive Experiment.

The resignation of Ed Bobleter
from the duties of the office of city
clerk and the appointment of Louis
Schilling is the natural sequel to a
tragedy in politics that took place at
the election last spring. It had it's
starting point in a desire on the part
of the business men of the city to elect
Chas. Silverson to the office of mayor.
Certain factions at that time tried to
control and dictate the policy of the
city, and without consultation or sug-
gestion on the part of any of the sup
porters Of Mr.. Silverson, Ed Bob
Letter announced that he would be a
candidate for clerk.
He conducted his own campaign up
to time when the methods of the
opposition to the business men who
were interested in Mr.. Silverson's
campaign made it necessary for then
to take some more active measures
and they set out to defeat this op.
position with Mr.. Bobleter. 1t was
not a desire on their part, they were
forced to it. They succeeded.

The Return to Schi1ling.

The council did what was expected
in the appointment OF Louis Schilling
to the place he formerly held as city
clerk. The resignation of Ed Bobleter
made it necessary that some one should
succeed him and it was natural to
suppose that the members of the coun-
Gil, being such warm friends of Mr..
Schilling should give him the place.
For some time prior to and subsequent
to the election last spring Mr.. Schilling
was not in the best health. Confinement
to his Office brought on troubles that
were aggravated by the strenuous cam
paign he was forced to make; but with
the rest he has had his health is i'm
proved and his friends hope that he
will find the duties of the Office less
onerous than they were and the patrons
of the city clerks Office find him always
agreeable and in cheerful mood.
The Review opposed the election of
Mr.. Schilling not because he was
Louis Schilling but because he was
supported by parties that we're not in
harmony with the best interests of the
city, and have since been losing no
time in getting ''vindicated.
If the council, in electing Mr.. Schill-
ing to this place, has done it because
it feels that it is to the best int crest of
the city, its action will be sustained,
but if it is to show that it wants to
teach the people a lesson, the members
amy find trouble ahead in the
future. Mr.. Schilling is competent,
trustworth official, and he never was
to blame that he had council which
allowed him to dictate it's policies.
We are glad that in his declining
years the city is thus able to afford a
competence to one of it's Oldest settlers
and most worthy citizens, and we hope
that the present council will not find it
necessary to burden him with the re-
sponsibility of the whole government.

Should Dunn be Elected?

There is but one reason why Mr..
Dunn should be elected to the Office Of
governor of the state and that is be-
cause there is no reason to believe
that the complexion of the legislature
will be anything but republican, were
would be some excuse for republicans
to desert the party and lend their as
sistance to the opposition.
The fact that the man has been
houned from pillar to post by far
fetchedsand scandalous lies is enough
to cause men who are inclined TO de-
sert him to return to his support.
In the beginning of this campaign
and at the close of the state conven-
tion the Review announced that it
would support the republican state
ticket. 1t is more firmly convinced
that that is the proper thing to do
from the fact that if there is enough to
a man to cause his enemies to make
such strenuous effort to defeat there is
enough to him to cause him to make a
good governor.
Bob Dunn is rough, there is no use
discounting the fact, and he is not a
man that would dance we'll to the music
of a lutte, and the trouble that he
stirred up for the corporations while
he was auditor will follow him to the
end of his political career. That he
did not go to the bottom of this may
have beenlhis mistake but it is certain
that he went into it farther than any
Of the auditors before him and is en-
titled to that much credit.
But aside from all this the question
is of what benefit will democratic
governor be to the democratic party
and what earthly good will he be to
the republican party? John Lind had
to admit that he could do nothing, 50
we believe that if the coming admins
tration is to accomplish anything it

They had every reason to believe
that in giving the young man a start
they were doing the best thing possible
for him. It was a mistake. Once in a
lifetime this happens. The result is
humiliation on the part of his friends,
disgrace to himself, broken and
dismembered home and worst of all,
the sorrow he has brought to his
parents. 1t is nothing for any man,
however bitterly he opposed the
election of Mr.. Bobleter, to gloat
over; rather let him feel sorry that
ambition must find its grave in the
cemetery of intemperance and intoxi-
cation should wreck the highest ideals
of manhood and blight the affections
of a true and loving wife.

a TONIC is medicine that gives
IL tone to some part of the system.
There are different kinds of tonics, but
where catarrh is SO prevalent, is tonic
that operates on the mucous membranes.
Peruna is a tonic to the mucous MEM
branes of the whole body. Itgiyes tone
to the capillary circulation which con-
stitutes these delicate membranes.
Peruna is a specific in its operation
upon the mucous membrane. It is
tonic that strikes at the root of all ca
tarrhal affections. It gives tone to the
minute blood vessels and the terminal
nerve fbres. Catarrh cannot exist long
where Peruna is used intelligently.
Peruna seeks out catarrh in all the hid
den parts of the body.

and there was no cure. I almost thought

called dyspepsia. Catarrhal dyspepsia
cannot be cured by pepsin powders or

Every Vote Should Count.

1t should not be necessary to urge
men to cast their ballot, but the sad
truth is that only about one out of
every four voters in this country goes
to the polls on election days, and it is
a noticeable fact that it is the three
that do not vote that do the loudest
''kicking" about the country going to
the devil and the unjust distribution
of the Offices that the country has to
give out.
In this age there are few men who
rely on anything but their own judg-
ment in the matter of voting and it is
not the purpose of this paper to die
tate to any man in that respect, it is
sufficient for US that we are satisfied
with the policy of the republican
party. That party may not be re-
sponsible for all the good times, but
it has been a significant fact that when
it has been in power the days have
been brighter from the fact that peo-
pie have had more money and the
farmers have been paid better for
what they have. If this is not coin
cident we believe it is wise to continue
the same policy until it is proven that
it is co-incident
-Four years ago there were 1896
votes cast for republican president
in this county and there were 1866
votes cast for a democratic governor,
which goes to prove that the voters OF
the county are not tied to any party
and the result is hard to estimate, but
this is certain, that the people Of
Brown county may be depended upon
to vote for the right man regardless
of the party to which he belongs.
We believe that it is best in the in
terest of all concerned in legislative
matters that party politics should
control, that is that the power should
