Harvey C. Clark, nominee for prosecuting attorney, is doing most excellent werk is this campaign. He is on the go and speaking almos every night at some point in the county. We predict he will be elected by a handsome majority and will make the best officer the county has had for years. Tne London Chronicle declares that Bismarck wrote his letter in favor of bimetallism to Governor Culberson iu order to influence the Germans of this country to vote for Bryan, because his election would injure English trade. Thus it is acknowledged that the maintenance of the gold standard benefits English trade. St. Loui3 Republic The way to vote and be assured that yeur vote is counted tor DeAr mond, and the whole elate and coun ty democratic ticket is to vote the democratic ticket from top to bot tom. Bo careful to draw the line clear through the other tickets W. C. Greer and L. W. Phillips, candidate on the prohibition ticket in Henry county for the offices of sheriff and public administrator, have declined the nominution. Both state that they will not vote the pro hibition ticket at this electiou. Jn a column editorial the New York World sums up the situation and informs Major McKinley that he is defpate-l. The Woild is a gold bug paper and hss been ono of Mr. Bryan's most bitter opponents, owing to its great circulation and influence. The republican orators tell us the reason farm produce is eo cheap is because of over productior. Over production of wheat, hungry mouths and empty stomachs.

The republican party must have a poor opinion of the farmers of this great country, and their intelligence, if we are to judge by the caitoans distributed in supplement form by the Record and other republican pa pers.

The residents of Bates county are not being sold out for taxes. The land being advertised belongs to non residents. Any way all ought to pay their taxes. It is not right to force collection of some and let oth ers go for an indefinite time, four or five years. This makes the burden greater on those who pay their taxes promptly. The republican county court of St. Clair county, in selecting judges for the November election ignored the populist party by refus ing to appoint a single member of that party to act as judge at a poll ing place. The judges stated as long an the court was republican there would be no populists appointed.

Suitfsstiil Operation The reporter took a trip to the country ab'ut 10 milea northwest of town Sunda- night with Dr. Boul- ware and witnessed a surgical oper ation, which was performed on E. Kline for strangulated hernia. Dr. Bates, of Adrian, was present aud assisted. The strangulation occurred Saturday night and ail effort to re place the bowel without using the krv.fe proved futile The affected part wa3 badly swollen, and there being but one remedy left to save the life of the patient, no time was lost m making preparations for the dangerous operation. An improvieed table was prepared, the patient was put under the influence of chloro form and it took Dr. Boulware fif teen or twenty minutes to perform the operation, which was a perfect success Mr. Kline is a large farmer of Elkhart township and his mis hap will lay him up for three or four weeks.
