JVO IMPROVEMENT.
f In another coin mu in the Jour
we publish the views of Mr.
H,J. 0. Caldwell in regard to our sys
of primary elections. Mr. Cald¬

| Air. Caldwell, as well as “Re¬
{former,” has become horrified at the
of a large number of office¬
-seekers this year, and the ostensible
pnrpose of the plan suggested by
is to reduce them to a minimum,
Upon a close inspection, however,
is easily seen that the effects of
tench a reform would he of no con
sequence in the reduction of office
seekers, and would be of incalculable
harm to our party. Suppose we

possible for any candidate to see and
talk with all the peopla in a short
like we have, and to an
extent is keep in the dark as to how
the election will go. This is the case
now, and would be were the change
^(suggested adopted. Most uncertainity. candidates,
.therefore, run on an
phis being true, why should a man
Lbe anv more afraid to risk his luck
mien than now?
But the most objectionable feature
of Mr. Caldwell’s plan is that it is a
[step backwards should have A good Populist (be Peo¬ as

a
party long ago repudiated and de¬
nounced as being corrupt. The Peo
fple’s party stands for the election of
[every I officer, from populai president down ol t he to
coroner, by a \ote
people. This has always been one of
| its fundamental tenets. It stands
1 irrevocably opposed to any system
' that takes the elective power away
jfroni the people and places it in the
bands of a fe w representatives. This
is true of the party nominations as
well as general elections. Today the
referendum plank of our platform is
’ dreaded by the common enemy
worse
i than all the rest put together. And
.why? Because it gives to the people

the right to reject or pass any law,
instead of leaving it to a few rep¬
resentatives who frequently prove
unworthy the sacred trust reposed
' them. It is the guiding star lo
m

' the people to rule in all things is
the reform motto. There we stand,
lt matters not , if the entire county
turns to office seekeis.
i In conclusion we will say that we

are ratlier of the opinion of
[/that it is a stable ambition fo, a

citizens. And further, the more
candidates we have the more certain
are we to get a good man in office.
Mr. Caldwell’s Plan.
To the Editor of the Home JoiiiinaL :
In looking over the Journal of
27th inst. my attention was attracted
to “Reformer’s” letter, in which he
expresses candidates a fear of an overproduction
of for the next primary,
as one neighborhood has five candi¬
dates and several prospective ones,
ami asks if it is not too much of a
rush for the pie counter.
If I am allowed to say a word.here
I would say that Reformer has sound
on the key-note to the situation, only
that he has not said quite enough, as
already an active canvass is in pro¬
gress throughout the county by as¬
pirants for office.
If we would change some of the
features of our primary elections
“v^Tiodnction of aspirants and the
lures, would be far more satisfactory
than the present plan of primaries.
Here is the plan as plain and sim¬
ple as I can give it:
On whatever diy and place de¬ let
cided on in each militia district,
an election he held for three electors
from each district vUiose duty it
shall be to cast their votes separately
in a ballot box prepared for the same,
at die Ordinary’s office, elected for their
choice of officers to be not
later than 1 o'clock the next day,
and alter their election then with
their assistance the Ordinary shall
procede to count the votes and an¬
nounce the result. The election of
electors takes the place of the pri
mury and the aspirants for office, or
as Reformer lias it, the rush for the
pie counter can’t know who these
electors will be, consequently will
not annoy the community with his
everlasting presence and solicitations
for support and the election at the
Ordinary’s office the following day
will take the place of the consolida¬
tion, so you see it doesn’t make it
any more complicated than the pres¬
ent plan of primaries.

Air. Ward L. Smith, of Frederick
town, Mo.,, was troubled with chron¬
ic diarrhoea for over thirty years,
lie had become fully satisfied that
it was only a question of give a short time
until he would have to up. He
had been treated by some of the best
physicians in Europe and America
but got no permanent relief. One
day he picked up a newspaper and
chanced to read an'advertisement of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. He got a bottle
of it, the first dose helped him and
its continued use cured him.
Civis Again.
To the Editor of the IIomk Journal:
Tt seems to us that the mountain
Hoosier must have his eyes on some
plum in the future, or he would not
jump at us panther-like. It must
have hit him, for we are told that it
is the hurt dog who does the yelping.
Now. Bro. lloosier, you say in your
epistle that you see through the mist
some office-holder as tiie author of
my first letter. Now, we can alle¬
viate your troubles on that score by
telling you Civis is not an office¬
holder. never was nor never expects
to lie. He is a straight Populist,
though, and believes in the rule of
the people individual in all things. the Aside from
our opinion, letter in
question was written for the the sole
purpose of drawing out people
on the question of changing our
county officers. In this we think we
have been eminently successful.

GOOD ADVICE.
When buying Monumental Work
it is well to first be assured of the
honesty and ability of the Dealer.
Patronize your home dealer if pas¬
sible. Avoid agents, as they are
unnnecessary, and are an additional
ex, rose. Be sure the contract speei
lies what you want, and more certain
the work fills the contract before
paying. Remember there is no ex¬
cellence without great labor, and
great excellence without skillful
labor. You should therefore buy
a proprietor skillful who is a workman.

Ml OF TWO WAYS.
The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first wav is from
tmperfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
ireatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is tlie chief cause of bladdei
troubles. So the womb, like the
b adder, was created for one purpose
and if not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except
m rare cases, It is situated back of
and very close to the bladder, there¬
fore any pain, disease or inconven¬
ience manifested in the kidneys, hack
bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female
weakness or womb trouble of some
-ort. The error is avoided. easily made and
may be as easily ’To find
nit correctly, set your urine aside for
