> of what may 'o« called political disintegration. Party ties are becoming more loosely drawn, defections from the ranks are growing more frequent, - «nd, within tllie past few days, we have had the remarkable spectacle of two strtctly partisan measures de- ; feated by members of the same party that was attempting to secure their passage. We believe the statement knay be truthfully made that the maf joritv of qonservative, far-seeing RepnblicjsiW throughout the country note wj^h relief the probable shelving - of timclotu re resolution and the elecsions hill, an it was thought, for the remainder of the session. Cloture [rule may not lie in itself a yicious or trevolutfonairy measure, for it is frequently adopted in legislative bodies. ‘ It is obnoxious at the present time, however, because of the special object wl ie i it it intended to accomplish,. It ii self-evident that there -is^jn-ellort to enforce it for the purFpose of compelling the passage of a ■ measure which is contrary to the ■ overwhelming public sentiment of f the country. As a general thing, it Will be acknowledged that the majority in a deliberative body should be permitted to rule, but, after sueh> body has existed & hundred yqars, without this restriction, it is an inopportune time tj> attempt to introduce it as a mere expedient to compel tha,

r enactment oi . a law which in siiuusi universally distasteful and undesired, and to which i t is alone applied, In a like decree it will be admitted by many that; the eardiual principle of the elections bill may be right, but they oppose its passage for the reason that they believe it would create greater evibi than it would correct. There can not be any question but that the majority of the present generation of Southern people are truly floral to tho Union. Never since the close of the civil war were the people in all parts of the country so united as ayitffereseut time. There are a ,1 dissensions, ot apure1 nature, bnt there is less of 4han ever before. « bitter and hostile sentiments engendered by tlie war are becoming softened and removed by lapse of time and a community of interests. .There is com parti ve prosperity in the North and South, and no disturbing element save the selfish rancor of partisan politics. The enactment into a law of the force bill would be to reopen old wounds, to recall former hatreds, to compel retaliation, to start again into a ferment all the elements that under the favorable conditions of recent years have become harmonious and co-operative. For these and similar reasons, the majority of jinprejudiccd thinkers and practical men oppose the passage of H^ral ejections bill, which, they Vy believe, will prove harmful £thau beneficial to the widest aud beat Interest of the country. MEMORY. “Memory" Is a beautiful word. There are people wbo would obliterate it from tbe English vocabulary. To such, there is nothing in it that is pleasant. They cannot recall, iu their Cut life, a single instance which they ould not forget if it were possible. Such people eke out a mere existence, and look upon this life philosophically, and pride themselves that they kake life as “a matter of course,” all because they are here and cannot escape the exigencies of tbe battle from l life cradle to tbe grave. They are the jieopfe who wish that to-day were tomorrow, and that yesterday had never kieen. Is there no reason for this condition of the inward being ? If you have done,"on yesterday, or last week, or last year, a deed of charity, or have accomplished any good for yourself or

u muj) vr ua vc 111 ain n ay uaiuvu isnklnd, or hare helped any poor pilgrim on hhi jouruej to eternity, are you troubled: in your aoul because that faculty oil your mind, called “memory,” brings reminiscences ot your stewardship? The soul is ^troubled by a conscious thought of Itbose things that have made you and your neighbor worse. If you will pause for a moment, and think for S ourself, you wUl call to mind men wbo are a misery to themselves. They hare the “blues.” Their souls t*r» trcubled by the past conditions of 'what they have themselves produced, hbsd so they are, as they have made happy, or unhappy, bring to you the past, and Shape the future, and the cringing, bitlag; bitter thought itdlks like ajghost in the soul both shake and asleep. If you want to lie happy, be sure you do not do,in the present,what you will not test to remember in the future'; for is the law of your nature, that will be punished, through tlob, for every misdeed a natural law of reone eati escape.

EWffjjjjffpwy jjjpjfwwwwi and every ad honest; I have been very fortunate in worldly*gutters; niany men hare worked much harder and not succeed half so well, but I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one object at a time, no matter how quickly Its successor should come upon its heels, which I then formed. Whatever I have tried to do iu life I have tried with all my heart to do well; whatever T have devoted myself to I ha ve devoted myself to completely. In great aims and in smalt I have always been thoroughly in earnest. There is no substitute for thoroughgoing, ardent and sincere eariicstuesR. Never to put one hand to anything on which I could throw my whole self, and to affect depreciation of my work, whatever it was, I find now- to hnye been my golden rule*.—David Copperfield. _ When Alabama refhscd to appropriate anything to the World’s Fair if the Force Bill should become a law, it was hardly expected that Illinois would pay such marked attention to the resolution, and that Indiana wonld adopt the same resolution, and that other Northern States wonld threaten the same thing. Yet the condition is not a theory, nor yet only a truth ; it is a stubborn fact. The Republican power behind the throne at Washington is not strong enough to pass the infimoua Force bill without the cloture rule, the cutting off of free speech in this “land of the free.” Since the birth of the nation such a measure has never been adopted. What kind of a majority have the Republicans if that majority can not hold their own with the minority Democrats in fair and honest debate ? The moral disease of such a majority must be Ignorance, impudence, cowardice, and an abundance of meanness. The Republicans In power are afraid that there are honest ‘enough among them to defeat their unprecedented attempt, and therefore want no discussion.

One day last week the English Parliament passed a resolution restoring to its roster the name of Charles Bradlough. It was a tardy act of justice. Ten years ago this eminent statesman was refused his seal in Parliament because of his alleged unbelief in religion. Who is to define the neccessary religious belief for a body composed of Catholics and Protestants, and at oue time presided over by a Jew ? Mr. Bradlaugli is on his death bed: for ten years lie has been deprived of his Parliamentary rights; his restoration comes too late to afford any reparation except that he will be vindicated upon the pages of history. It is gratifying to note, liowev.er, this tendency of modern times to rise out of religious intolerance, that distinctive feature of past ages, and a far too prominent one even of the present day. ■.. Local politicians mav froth at the mouth because the U. S. Senate refuses to pass the Force bill, bnt they should remember that the interest of a free people demands jnst such an actiou. Republicans have favored, with few exceptions, and Democrats have opposed, the measure. Such might have been expected from the amount of buncombe that is usually displayed, for party politicians are partisan. Once in a while comes up measures that strike at the liberties of the people, but in almost every instance the safety of the country is assured by a defeat. Ihis produces in the popular mind a confidence In the government, and cultivates a patriotism that will never die. Long live the great Republic! Secrktabt Wisdom’s death, which occurred just after he had delivered an oration at tho Board of Trade in New York on last Thursday night, just after a great feast had bee n indulged at Delmonico, is a reminder that station and rank is no assurance for a continuation of life. And yet, the poor, the rich, the high aud the low, almost all people live as if this life were all there is and as it the only object is to run the race of life filled with all the misery the circumstance will permit. It is vauity. Happiness here and here-after deserves vastly more attention than it receives.

A number of organisations througont the state are demanding • bat County Teachers’ Institutes shall not be supported—no part of them— by the publ ic, and that the visiting of schools by County Superintendents shall not be paid for at all. It is proper and right to tear down one system when another and better is built upon the ruins. The columns of the Dxhockat are open for an explanation ot what the new system is to be. We have never yet heard of it, and we are of opinion that none has yet been prepared. Vorhbks and Ingalls hare attracted more attention the last eighteen months than any other two U. S. Senators. First they abused one another on the Senate floor, either* justly or unjustly. Then both went before the people, indirectly, for their suffrage. Vorhees’s State went Democratic (in his favor) by twenty thousand, Ingalls is defeated. ‘ ' 3Th*se two decisions show the drift of public sentiment. A man came to Petersburg lb* Otla;r day and took out a wagon-load of rurniture, brooms, and other store Huff to ah f . M. B. A. store. He paid he “middle men” all the way from lie factory to his wagon and then, we >uppose, he pul on the F. M. B. A. ‘fifteen per cent.” "TJW ways o' sale* an' own fan* aft **Us,”

(No one signs the pledge till he has attended at least four times, aud then he is not urged to do so). NOTES. Few persons are aware of the terribly poisonous nature of tobacco. One drop of nicotine, the active principle or poison in tobacco, given to an adult, will cause almost instantaneous insensibility and death iu three or four minutes. “Beer contains but one per cent, of nutritive matter, and is therefore not a thing to be taken for nutrition at all.”—Dr. Lancaster. Iowa is “ruined by prohibition,” yet last Nov. she paid the last dollar of her state debt, and now taxes are to be reduced one fourth. “I can keep no terms with a vice that fills our jails and destroys the comfort of homes and the peace of families, and debases and brutalises the people.”—Chief Justice Coleridge. Thirty-six “wet” counties in Georgia have one convict to every 680 people. One hundred, and one “dry” counties in the sime state have one convict to every 1,329 people. Hurrah for Iowa young women 1 Forty young women of Des Moines, Iowa, have signed an agreement to receive the attentions of no young man who drinks, chews, smokes, or swears. The liquor party is naturally distressed by the Supreme court decission that, “There is no inherent right of a citizen to sell intoxicating liquors at retail.” * * * A merchant found the drink habit fast gaining a hold on him because of his treating or being treated by customers or traveling men. Realizing Ids danger before too late, he wrote the following card and placed it where he could see it oflbn:

Which? Wife or Whisky? The Babes or the Bottle? Heaven or Hell? My brother, where there’s drink there’s danger.” So whether you are a. drunkard, a moderate drinker, or take only a very occasional glass, floes not this card come to you with three solera waruings? The first from the alter, second from the cradle, third from the grave? * * * “See how much.a gallon of Whisky costs” said a judge, after trying a case. One gallon of whisky made two murders; it made two wives, widows; and eight childred, orphans. ♦ * * “Have yon a boy to spare? The saloon must have boys or it must shut up shop. Can’t you fine one? It is a great factory, and unless it can have 2,000,000 from each generation for raw material, some of these factories must close up and the operatives be thrown out on a cold world and the public revenue dwindle. Wanted : 2,000,000 Boys. One family out of five must contribut a boy in order to keep up the supply. Will you help ? Which of your boys shall it be? Are you a father? Have you given your share to keep up the supply for this great public institution that is helping to pay your taxes and kindly electing public officers tor you? Have you contributed a boy ? If not some other family has had to give more than its share. Are you selfish, voting to keep the saloon open to grind up boys, and then doing nothing to keep up the supply? Ponder these questions, ye voters, and answer them before God, to whom you will one day give an account tor votes as well as for prayers-” * * * Mies Meredith Brown, speaking of the slum children of London, says that one hundred little boys and girls were seen to go iuto a saloon in the course of au hour.

Pi kb County Assembly F. M. B. A passed a resolution' demanding that three per cent, shall be the legal rate of interest. In the corporation of Petersburg the tax is taro and lourteen hundredths per cent Take this from three per cent, and you will have left sighty-six hundredths per cent. only. This will not be enough to pay for the time money will lie idle, so that a man living in Petersburg aud lending money at three per cent, will loose mouey every year. It would be worse in many other places. Such a law would drive money from the markets and make it impossible for people to borrow money, unless money loaned out should be exempt from taxation, which would also be wrong. Tun birth-day dinner of Simeon LeMasters, an account of which is Blsewhere in this paper, is a sample of many that are held throughout the country. They are becoming popular and fittingly illustrate the affluence of the country life of the industrious. Few people in the towns and cities could make a dinner to three hundred people without being a frauk-rupt at sun-down. With all the tempefince workers ictiveiy engaged in an earnest attempt to destroy the liquor trafic, Evinsville is preparing to« build the largest brevery in the world

meant the final disposition of the Force bill, and they hare accepted the result with the beet grace posai ble although it is far from satisfactory to them. Not ^80 with Mr. Harrison. He is so wedded tfl the idea of Federal interference in Southern elections and its consequent benefit to him and his party that he refuses to believe the Force bill dead, and has begun schemiug for another attempt to rash it through the Senate. He is strangely seconded by speaker Reed and the House republicans generally, but the idea has so far been eery coldly received by the Senators whose recolection of the two square knock-downs they have already received while battling for this Unpopular and unjust bill makes them shy ef again entering the ring against the inteligent public opinion of the country. Still there is no telling what these republicans may do. It is certaiu that if they saw their way clear to pass the bill that they would again take it up. Their desire is as strong for the passage of the bill as it ever was, but it is the dread of another defeat that makes them hesitate. Democratic Senators are fully aware that all danger from this bill will not be passed until the close of the session, and they will see to it that the republicans get no chance to catch them napping. That the democrats are always ready to aid in the transaction of legitimate busiuess was shown when Senator Gorman notified the republi can steering committee that the dem ocrats were prepared to agree to any order of business which did not include the cloture rale or Force bill. The programme as arranged provides for the consideration of the following bills, after the Apportionment bill is, disposed of; eight Hour bill, Copyright, Pure-food, and the job ot the session, the bill to guarantee the pay ment of 1200,000,000 in bonds of the Nicaragua canal company. It is certainly a suspicious circumstance that this bill for the exclusive benefit of a corporation should have been given a place in the order of business when dozens of bills -important to the couutry at large were left out. Some music ought to be heard wheu this bill gets before the Senate, and will be, unless I am very much mistaken. The defeat of Senator Ingalls did not raise a cyclone of grief at the> Canitol.

Unless the republicans attempt some of their tricks it is believed that all of the appropriation bills can be disposed of by the fourth pf March, and an extra session avoided. Chairman Dingley, of the House committee now investigating the ail* ver pool scandal, is charged with having intimated, in a conversation with Mr. Payne, a member of the committee, that Senator Vest would never hare been allowed to testify if he had known that he wouldugive away” Senator Cartteron. This charge is not made by a democrat, but by a good republican, Gen. H. V. Boynton. Mr. Dingley deuies it, and Gen. Boynton pays, W. B. Stevens heard the conversation in question. Its a nice mess, a republican mess, all through, and before the committee finishes its labors it will be In need of being investigated. The arguments in the Behring Sea case were heard by the Supremo onrt this week. They contained nothing new on either side^ thanks to the enterprise of our newspapers id having told us two weeks ago what points each side would try to make. The anti-silver men have opened their campaign against free coinage by brluging a lot of Eastern hankers here to tell the House Coinage committee what a dangerous thing free coinage is. Another dodge of the antis is to amend the free coinage bill so as to make it conform to the views of the Piesident. Both schemes arc meant to accomplish the same thing—delay,and that’s bow it will be, beaten, if it is beaten. The commit- j tee will delav reporting it back to the House as loug as possible, and after it is reported Speaker Heed will delay Its consideration if he can, and between all these delays the time will have come too short to pass the bill at this session. See ? Great scheme isn’t it ? Not very original thought Mr. Blaine isn’t saying anything about the Force bill, but he has had a kind of an I-told-you-so look ever since Mr. Harrison was knocked out at the same time his pet measure was.

The New York Evening Post has a striking summary of current events: The defeat of the Blair hill last March meant that the black man must “take his chances” with the white man in the matter of schooling. The rejection of the force bill means that he must take his chances also in the matter of voting, like the “Canuck” in New England, the “Daeo” in New York city, the Pole in the manufacturing cities of Pennsylvania, or the Scandinavian in the agricultural regions of the Northwest. “When a man has emerged from slavery,” said the Supreme Court of the United States iu annulling for unconstitutionality the civil-rights act, “and by aid of beneflcient legislation has shaken off the inseparable concomitants of that state, there most be some stage in the progress of his elevation when he takes the rank of a mere citlzeu, and ceases to be the special favorite of the laws, and when his rights as a citizen or a man am to be protected in the ordinary modes by which other men’s rights are protected.” The rejection of the force bill means that this “stage” has been reached, fcnd consequently'' that “the mission of the Republican party” has been discharged. The future of political organisations can not be forecast, Senator Hoat is right in regarding the action iu the Seuate *s ending a chapter in our history. - —

- ~ THE* GIRL ABO JT TOWN. Ik* Discenrses oh 4ereral Tory Important Stajeets, I am here again—stout and willing as Barkes to give you my advice on the topics of the day. For the folks in general, they will find a few paragraphs to their interest further on. For Pe ersburg the allabsorbing subject is the Business Men’s Association. The last meeting was a good one as every one present ht.'that meeting must have realized. T will not detail the proceeding—you must attent to find opt, el?e- read elsewhere in the Democrat) I will not urge upon you the importance of attening these meetings, for you already know your duty in that respect only -too well, Attend the meeting and build op this country and this town, or stay at home or do nothing when you do go, and see, in a few years, land worth much less tjjan it now is, and on some “moony” knight in the next decade about this present nice little city see sheeps eyes looking out at what are now our respective places of abode. Don’t be a cynic, dear friend, or regard me as such; it is become a case of “Progress or Poverty,” else a state of stagnation, whicn is even mere disgraceful than poverty, when that misfortune overtakes one who is engaged in trying to help himself and his fellow man in the battle of life. Before leaving this subject, let me ask what you are going to do about it. Here is active, honest efforts and success on the one hand, and indolence and retrogression on the other. Of course there are people in the community who have plenty and who have the ability to keep it. Will they have the selfish meanness to so invest all their capital as to help no one to gain a livelihood but themselves? If so, the sooner a few first-class funerals take place the better. * * *

A few observations on the social conditions of Petersburg will apply equally to every section in which the Democrat is read. The past few weeks an effort has been made by some of the religiously inclined, to bring into the church the recreant sinner, and to point to him the road to the gate at the end of “the straight and narrow way.” The effort has been somewhat successful, as a goodly number have been brought into the fold. At the same time there has been going on in the town a show which I must acknowledge has not been demoralizing in effects—in my opinion, though I leave that to your judgement. Between the shows, the churches, the Business Men’s Association meetings, the debating socities, the schools, and other societies, the 'town folks have been kept rather busy, both old and young as well as the middle-aged. These branches of society have been criticising each other, and some have been quite angry at times because others would not listen to their own way of thinking. Now the Girl About Town has this to say to those of dissenting opinions: Let each thread in the social fabric take care of itself and let the others alone, and if there happen to be a thread of bad material, let it be draw and cast aside, and thus let there be. an end of it. Don’t, under any circumstances, pass criticisms that will make matters worse. Ever remember that it is by cultivating good morals that the world is benefitted, arid not by scolding those whose moral character is not up to the standard. Again: Do not let one duty destroy another. Do not let the school interfere with the church, nor the church interfere with the school, nor business and pleasure with either, nor these with any of the others. * * *

As to societies, they should be social, educational and indirectly political in their objects. The toiling masses must be endowed with knowledge commensurate v?ith the need of the time. In this age of progress greater skill is required in the artisan than informer times, and as every well equipped farm is virtually a machine shop, it would seem that universal art •Culture had become a necessity among our people. The safety of a Republic and its institutions must

rest upon the intelligent and selfreliant citizenship, upon whom are imposed the exercise of franchise. The public school is the sheet anchor of our free institutions. In fact we are forced to the conclusion that our people need the inculcation of more practical methods of education, and tp accomplish this object our school system should be enlarged upon to the extent that kindergarten work and manual training be provided for, as these promote ethical as well as physical culture. To equip our schools for such a course would add somewhat to the expense, but the saving to the tax payers in the cost of courts and prisons for the punishment of criminals would be greatly lessened, and be a much more humanitarian method of expenditure. The State owes to posterity the right to know howto earn an honest living, and this knowledge should be the first requisite in the education of the youth. First teach them how to work, and the dignity and honorableness of such effort, as well as to think. By such an education is taught the holiness of self-sacrifice, so that in the life of the wayward boy, the energies of destruction may be turned into methods of construction. The exact rule of mechanics requires in the student a habit of truthfulness not only in what he does, but in what he says. * * *

Happy should be the man not bowed down by the responsibility of great wealth. The very rich man ca|i personally enjoy the proceeds of but a comparatively small part of his possessions, and eventhat enjoyment is dulled by the cares of attending to the remainder. John D. Rockefeller, the Standard Oil magnate, once testified in court that he could not tell within ten or twelve millons of just what his wealth at that time was. Suppose ten million dollars had been lopped off of that vast fortune. Its owner would have felt no loss to his comfort or happiness, his family would never have missed it, but there would have been a very appreciable lightening of the burden of responsibility. The investment and protection of ten million dollars is in itself an undertaking of tremendous magnitude. It is not the intention here to declare j with old John Heywood, The loss of wealth Is loss of dirt, As sages in all times assert; The happy man’s withont a shirt. But there is a fortunate and most desirable mean, wherein there is gold enough to assure comfort and abundance but not enough to make its owner a slave and drudge.

You say you demand a domestic; useful woman as your wife. If that is so, marry Nora Mulligan, your laundress’ daughter. She wears cow-hide shoes, is guiltless of corsets, never had a sick day in her life, takes in washing, goes to house-cleaning, and cooks for a family of seven children, her mother and three section men who board with her. I don’t think she would marry you, because Con. Reagan, the track-walker, is her style of man. Let us examine into your qualifications as a model husband after your own matrimonial ideas, my boy. Can you shoulder a barrel of flour and carry it down cellar? Can you saw and split ten cords of hickory wood in the fall so as to have ready fuel all winter? Can you spade up half an acre of ground for a kitchen garden? Do you know what will take the lime taste out of the cistern, and can you patch the leak in the kitchen roof? Can you bring home a pane of glass and a wad of putty and repair damages in the sitting-room window? Can you hang some cheap paper on the kitchen? Can you fix the front gate so it will not sag? Can you do anything about the house that Con Reagan can? My dear, dear boy,you see Nora Mulligan wants a higher type of true manhood. You expect to hire men to do all the man’s yyork about the house, but you want your wife to do anything any woman can do. v Believe me, my son, that ninetenths of the girls who plSy the piano and sing so charmingly, whom you, in your limited knowledge, set down as mere butterflies of fashion, are better fitted for wives than you are for a husband. If you want to marry a first-class cook and experienced house-keeper, do your courting in the intelligence office. But if you want a wife, marry the girl you love, with dimpled hands and a face like the sunlight, and her love will teach her I all these things, my boy, long before you have learned one-half of your own lesson.

The only Protection that will effectually protect all people, all classes, all labor and all interests is that styled Self Protection- ! acquired only from a truthful knowledge of ways and means, legal and illegal, just and unjust, by which the burdens of government, profits of labor and industry, are' so unequally divided. - That knowledge is power, and ignorance its slave, is forcibly illustrated daily in all walks of lifo, among all people, in all countries. Where knowledge is used as a power or a means for gaining wealth without labor or an equivalent therefor, it becomes necessary to deceive or keep in ignorance of such methods those from whom the wealth is taken: hence it is that of the ten thousand newspapers printed in the Uniter} States, less than ten are absolutely free? and independent of the power or control of some class, party or monopoly whose interest it is to keep the great mass of people in ignorance of their methods. The Cincinnati Weekly Enquirer is one of the few, if not the only one, absolutely free from such influences. It is the most honest, thorough, able teacher anil exponent of truthful knowledge, of reliable data, free from partisan bias, fair, £ra»k and explicit to such degree that one»Caunot but feel edified and capable- of forming correct conclusions therefrom. Such a paper should be in every household. Sample copies can be obtained by addressing the publishers, at Cincinnati, O.
