As we have repeatedly remArked there has been a great deal of adverse criticism of the administration in not striking sharp and decisive blows, %nd end this war. It has been suggested in many quarters that President Mc Kinley and has Republican advisers and backers want the war prolonged until after the November elections. We trust that there is no real founda tion for this sualicion. We would dislike very much to believe that a man could be elected President who would stoop to such a low motive. Whatever may be said of some of President McKiiley's political frields, we cannot think that he is consciously prolonging the war, putting the people to s-> much expense merely that Repub lican Congressmen may be returned. The New York World gives a good summary of the "kind-hearted" war. The war was declared on 21st day of April. The navy was ready for action in a week. On the 22nd April a scheme to feed the reconcentrados was adopted, and the blockade of Havana to starve the Spaniards was adopted. The feeding scheme was abandoned because the food was used by the Span ish. On the 23rd a call was made for 125,000 volunteers. On the 24ih Spain declared war. O.. the 25th Corgre> declared war.

A politician is something like the Irishman's flea. I used to think that there was much in platforms and poli ticians' speeches, but lately I have come to the conclusion that the only u=e made of them is to get in on. The Lord knows we need some relief and reform but not the;kind we have had since 1890. Reform has made taxes from 94 or 10 mills to 11 and 15 mills higher, at a time when people were never less able to pay a small tax, from 1890 to a few months back. The purchasing power of money has been far greater than from 1890 to 1880, and still more and more m.ney is drawn from the people in- taxation. Almost every article ot -supplies used by the Government, County and State, from an inkstand up has been cheap com pared with years before. Bread and meat to feed the poor, clothes and other things were never so cheap. Hired help was never so cheap. Why, then, cannot taxes be riduced' Taxes are easily paid by prosperoui business people, especially the specu lative chap, but you find that there are many whom taxes are almost de priving of daily bread. Many poor men and widows in Fairfield County who have to lien their crops or assign their rent to raise money for taxes. Should anybody wonder at the in creased taxation? Look at the ap. propriations; look at the amount of money used and paid in the varioni courts on account of prolonged liti gation to protect the guilty and to keep people from paying their honest debts. We will take one case in our ows County of Fairfield-the murder oi James Suber, one of Fairfield's best men and an honest Christian gentle man murdered by an unprincinled vagabond. This case has been tied twice, and twice has .i defendant been found ' honest jurors and aP --o en carried to the highes1 cr.Zarr That does not only stay justice and leads to tL liberation of the guilty, but it csts the taxpayers loti of money. This cane bas already cost Fairfield County $1,400, more than fourteen hundred worthless murdereri are worth. We do not wan? to hang the guiltless, but hang the guilty a! quickly as possible, and do not charge up the protection of the guilty agains the taxpayers. A little politics on thii line might help. Small appropriations less legislation, and as representativet select men who will use the publi4 money economically. Men extrava gant and ;isky in their own business will be far more so in the people'i business. Select men who do no want to ride from the place of a rep resentative to Governor at the expense of the taixpayers. Find men in touct with the common interests of the county, men that will do everything ir their power to lessen public expenses; and who will not pander to the wil of men in higher offces, and who d< not have to consult their politica bosses before they can cast an hones vote. The pacte'- a has -been, taken ofi so said, tmgod men come t4 the front and offer their ser"ices fo: the various offces. The offces ar within the gift of the people, and le the people have good material fron which to select. Hand around yon1 offces; a second relief is waiting.

It is certainly gratifying to the pub lic to know of one concern in the lan< who are not afraid to be generous t< the needy and suffering.

I have used many remedies without receiving much relief, and being recom mended to try a bottle of Chamber lain's Cough Rtemedy, by a friend, who, knowing me to be a poor widow, gave it to me, I tried it, and with the most gratifying results.
