1t Is a Very Simple Method -
Palladium Specially

Indianapolis, Ind, March 1O.-A new
plan for handling the liquor question
in the democratic state convention has
developed. 1t is understood that it
was not discussed at the meeting of
the state committee here yesterday, but
it was brought up yesterday afternoon
around the lobby Of the Denison Ho-
tel.
The new plan is to ignore the liquor
question entirely. Before the new
plan was sprung four others were I'M
der discussion. These were: % A
reaffirmation of the old platform in ia
vor of ward and township local option
co A declaration against all sumptu-
airy legislation; CD A high liquor IL
cense law and close supervision of the
saloons and a. City and township To-
cal option thus separating the country
people from the city people in the vot-
ing.
But the new plan to make no refer
ence whatever to the liquor question is
gathering many adherents and it is be-
lieved by good many who are on the
inside that when the question finally
comes up for settlement it will narrow
down to Plan No. i, mentioned above
and the new plan.
The Democrats realize that if they
attempt to make any definite declara-
ton on the liquor question they will
have trouble on their hands. Any
thing that would look like a declara-
ton against the county option law
would undoubtedly be opposed by the
governor and his friends. And any
thing that looked like an Endorsement
of the law would be opposed by Tag
CART and his friends.
So some of the far-seeing democrats
believe that the best way out of it
would be to ignore the liquor question
entirely, in other words to dodge it.
There is no more reason said one
Democrat why we should make dec
laration on the liquor question than
there is that we should declare for Or
against hitching horses to shade trees
or that we should take some advanced
step in regard to Sabbath dissertation.
THE liquor question is moral ques-

STREET CAR CO,
PRESENTED BILL
City Asks Corporation to Help
Pay Cost of Removing
the Snow.
A NEW CLEANING SYSTEM
YEAR WILL BE RETIRED AND
THE OLD HORSE SWEEPER
WILL BE USED AGAIN.

The street car company has been
presented with bill for $50 by street
commissioner, ID. c. Gem, who believes
that it is no more than fair that the
corporation should help in paying for
the cost of removing the recent heavy
snow from Main street, as it's business
was materially benefited by such pro-
cedure.
Even at this figure the corporation
Is getting out of the matter very cheap
1y. The total cost of removing the
last snow. which was the heaviest of
the winter, was $51O.95. Practically
all of this amount was spent in re-
moving the snow from Main street.
The street car company was stalled
and it was necessary for it to plough
the snow into the roadway. The bill
presented to the corporation was for
one sixth of the entire cost of the last
snow.
The company was not asked to meet
any part of the expenditure occasioned
the city by the SHOWS after January Z,
and previous to the last one. The total
cost of these SHOWS was $46O.75. While
the street car company was benefited
by the removal of the previous SHOWS,
no reason Is given why the corpora
ton was not asked to contribute to-
wards the expenditure.
A different method will be instituted
in the daily cleaning of the paved
streets Of the city. The street sweep
er will be put in use again this spring
and the streets cleaned at night The
hand sweepers, which were used by the
old administration, are not considered
practical by Street Commissioner
Gem. The hand sweepers do not
clean as they should, or as well as the
large sweeper does, in his Judgment

nervous troubles. Then there
is a large class of disorders
which arise from a weakness of
the nerves of an organ or part,

Dyspepsia and indigestion are
usually the result of nervous

The first national Thanksgiving may
be said to have been the one offered
up at st. Paul's cathedral, London, for
the defeat Of the Spanish armada,
September, 1855 The English settlers
in this country naturally adopted the
custom of their native land, and at an
early period in our colonial history
Thanksgiving became quite common.
The institution may be said to be the

form or other from the earliest times.
