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¬ well, as we understand his position, the abolishment of our present I (primary plan of nominating eounty and in lieu thereof presents plan *f his own by which three lectors from each militia district an re to have the sole prerogative of aying who shall he the nominees of party. | 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 to adopt the plan and give men (three from each the right to name our nom x-—. 1 ij-aot.(ffie candidate can ass each ict then as he does Slow and get the voters to pledge themselves to vote for electors lavor »ble to his candidacy? It is im¬ 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 »-f is, lie read ple's [ting himself party platform to system before which commit- that 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 | that which justly belongs to them' 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 r Populist ascendency! The right ' the people to rule in all things is the reform motto.

We are ratlier of the opinion of [/that it is a stable ambition fo, a I man to aspire to serve ins iellow 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. Jons C. Caldwell. Goshen, Ga. 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. Civis.

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. most and artistic workman¬ ship on the best of material is too good to mark the graves of “the loved ones gone before.” C. E.

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.
