Tho Independent has made a per sistent effort all through this campaign to obscure the fact that the real issue is the relative titness ofthe two candi dates. We were about to add that the issue is also the relative merits of the principles for which thsy stand, but we are halted by the remembrance that Mr. Blumle has von \isaiWl to the public 110 expression of his principles. Mr. Howard has repeatedly recogniz ed his responsibility as candidate by giving to the pac; le of the county a full and clear expression of his views upon public questions. A decent re gard for the intelligence ofthe county demands that a candidate for so re sponsible an office as Assemblyman should take the people into his confi dence and tell them what he knows and thinks regarding questions of public interest. Mr. Blumle has not done this, and it is therefore difficult to discuss the relative merits of the principles of the two men. But we can discuss the relative fitness of the two candidates themselves, and we say unhesitatingly that the mumness and dumbness of .Mr. Blumle's candi dacy stamps him as one who does not possess the necessary qualifications of a legislator. A candidate for the As sembly, especially one who has served two terms at Harrisburg, should be un usually well-informed regarding public matters and iu the details of recent legislative history, and should have clearly defined views and convictions upon all questions of public interest, particularily those which affect the state and county. He should more over be able to impart a little of his in formation to the public and to impress a few of his convictions upon the peo ple of the county. Thus far not one word of information or discussion has come from Mr. Blumle; never once lias he deigned to give to the people under any form whatever a report of the manner in which he has fulfilled a trust committed to him on a previous occasion. Mr. Blumle is presuming upon the people of the county in thinking that they will elect a man who has not given the slightest infor mation or expression of opinion re garding public questions. The writer of this gladly concedes that Mr. Blumle has to his credit many good qualities and deeds, but the mere fact that a man is good-hearted and gen erous is far from proving that he pos sesses the intelligence, knowledge and experience necessary to make one an efficient and creditable legislator. We have repeatedly challenged the Independent to tell us something about Mr. Blumle's record at Harris burg, but at this writing it has not ac cepted the challenge. The presump tion is that it does not dare to do so. Mr. Blumle's record at Harrisburg has not been distinguished by efficiency, courage, or independence. At one time Mr. Blumle enjoyed the reputat ion of being a man of fearless inde pendence, but time has shown that in this respect he has been an overrated man. It cannot be claimed with any degree of plausibility that "Frank Blumle wears no man's collar." At Harrisburg he wore the collar of his business interests and also the collar ot some leaders prominent in the Democratic state organization. What measure was there before the Assembly at either of the sessions which Mr. Blumle attended, on which his attitude was not either that of a mere party Democrat or that of a "dodger?" Mr. Blumle's attitude towards his own re cent nomination is another indication that he is not strong enough or inde pendent enough to prevent the leader of the county organization of his party from fastening a collar tightly about his neck. The fact that he has been pulled and hauled into his present candidacy against his better judgment and inclination appeals to the pity rather than to the animosity of his political opponents. Nevertheless the people of the county will see in his re luctant candidacy an additional reason for voting against him. He is a candi date, not in answer to a popular de mand, but in obedience to the behsrts of one or two party bosses. The issue 011 which the Independent, disregarding the personal inclination of Mr. Blumle himself, has sought to carry this campaign has been the so called demand for "vindication." Only by the most silent implication has Mr. Blumle himself countenanced this "vindication" hue and cry. Per sonally it must be exceedingly dis tasteful to him. He knows that it has 110 relevance whatever in this present campaign. But even were he giving this cry his own active and explicit endorsement, it could still be shown, as we have already shown repeatedly, that this issue is hollow all the way through. It has failed signally to arouse any enthusiasm, for the reason that the people of the county under stand clearly the character of the methods used by Mr. Blumle in his former campaigns. The Independent has intimated more than once that Mr. Mulliu used corrupt methods in his campaign against Mr. Blumle, and its logic seems to be that since Mr. Mul lin was as deep or deeper in the mire than Mr. Blumle in the mud, therefore Mr, Blumle should be "vindicated ' in order to make this appear. Assuming for the moment, for the sake of argu ment, that this unsubstantiated alle gation is true, what should be the true conclusion for honest voters to draw? Simply this: that neither of the two was entitled to the seat. The premises could not possibly justify a "vindica tion" of Mr. Blumle, There ia no reason why Mr. Blumle should be elected; the only reason urged, "vindication." is irrelevant and hollow. When iu addition to the fail ure of the "vindication" cry, we con sidet the neglect of Mr. Blumle to recognize his responsibility as a candi date, ignoring completely the right which tho people have to look to him for a report of his legislative service and for an expression concerning his views 011 public questions; when, more over we examine his record for our selves and find therein evidence of his lack of courage and independence, and find still further evidence of his lack of courage and independence in his at titude towards his own recent nomina tion; the conclusion is irresistible that Mr. Biutnle should not be elected.

Senator Fairbanks asks whether we are togo forward or turn back. President Oar field asked the young men whether they wanted to walk in the light of hope and confidence or prowl about in a graveyard. Both arc pertinent questions for young men in this campaign. The Republican party has a record for doing things. The principal com plaint of the opposition is because this party has done things, even though they were things which men of all parties, even Democrats, have been saying ought to be done. They now admit that the gold standard has been irrevocably fixed by law, that they cannot change the tariff however much they might desire to do so, that the Panama Canal must be built, that the trusts have been curbed, and that we have the Philippines and must keep them for a time. With the exception of four years, from 1893 to 1897, the Republican party has directed the policy of the Government and under that policy there has been progress and pros perity, here more abundant than anywhere else in the world. From ISC, 1 to 1893, notwithstanding the greatest civil war of the world's history, our prosperity was phe nomenal. Our wealth increased from 8 Hi,000,000,000 in 1860 to 877,000,000,000 in 1890; our man ufactured products from $1,800,- 000,000 to $9,300,000,000. The prosperity of the United States at tracted millions of people from other countries, who came to join in the benefits of this new and bet ter life. Slave labor was abolished, free labor received the highest wages ever paid, and in money which was at a premium in every other country. We marched for ward in confidence and hope for the future. But in ISO'J the people at the polls committed the government to the care of the Democratic party, not withstanding the pledge of that party to undo the things that had been done and by so undoing, give us the markets of the world. That party kept the first part of its pledge. It undid prosperity and industrial enterprise, but it did not give us the markets of the world or allow us to retain our own market. Its theories were old and out of date. It had dug in the graveyard of its buried pastaud brought forth theories that had been discarded as impracticable and worthless. But it tried again the old theory of free trade and the American people be came idle while the people of Eu rope prospered at our expense. We had four years of paralysis due to the turning backward by that party, and when the next op portunity came for the people to order a change they elected Will iam McKinley, the prophet of pro tection md prosperity for their Chief Magistrate. The Republican party restored the policies that had made the country great, and from the day of that election confidence returned, and business resumed. There was work and wages for all, and wages again increased until in 1903 they were higher than ever before, and earnings higher by 50 percent, than in 1894. In eight years we have wiped out all but the memory of the Demo cratic disasters. Shall wecontinue to move forward in the sunlight of hope and prosperity or again prowl about in the graveyard of buried issues trying to revive them and see if after resurrection they will not prove more serviceable ? A Continual Strain. Many men and women are constantly subjected to what they commouly term "a continual strain" because of some financial or family trouble. It wears and distresses thetu both mentally and physi cally, affecting their nerves badly and bringing on liver and kidney ailments, with the attendant evils ot constipation, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, low vitality and dispondency. They cannot, as a rule, get ride of this "continual strain," but they can remedy its health destroy ing effects by taking frequent doses of Green's August Flower. It tones up the liver, stimulates the kidneys, insures healthy bodily functions, gives vim and spirit to one's whole being, and event ually dispels the physical or mental dis tress caused by that "continual straiu."

The principle reason why a visit should be made to this greatest of Ex positions is on account of its educa tional value. A visit to the World's Fair is in itself a trip around the world, for fifty cents, the price of admission. The president of one of our greatest universities has said "To the bright student the Exposition is worth a thou sand college lectures." The opportun ity of a life time is afforded in which to acquire, by a few days' sojourn at the Fair, an education which could not otherwise be received. The World's Fair Grounds cover over 1200 acres, be ing more than twice as large as those of the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago. Only a few weeks remain in which to take advantage of this great opportun ity. Every day from now until the close of the Fair is a "special" day. The Wabash is selling daily Excursion tickets to the Fair at greatly reduced rates: $12.00 St. Louis and return, on sale daily, except Fridays and Satur days.
