riOUNT ON THE FARMER. The Marquette Club, a republican politician organization, eavo a celebration at Chicago, ou the 12th in comment oration of the birth-day of Abraham Lincoln. A number of speeches were made, among them one by Gov. J. A Mount. His subject was "The Farmer ic Politics,from which we make the following extract: "That you may better appreciate the farmer as a politician, let me present him briefly as a factor in the country's growth and development. The brawny arm and the brave heart of_ the farmer have been dominant factors in our country's growth and greatneee. lie was first in the wilderness to light the battles and endure the privations incident to pioneer life. From rural life came the fearlees leader of our struggliug armies and the patriot President, 'first in war, first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen.' Farmers, like Putnam, left the plow in the unfinished furrow and hastened to the country's defense.
The Declaration of Independence attested their love of liberty legislative halls gave evidence of their wisdom and battle-fields proved their heroism 'Peace hath her victories less re nouned than war.' The conquest of labor followed the victories of tho bat-
tie-field. Into the wildnerness the con flict was pushed. Look through the dense forest the parly sunlight and you will see the flash of steel aot of eabor, nor of bayonet it is the Hash of the woodman's ax. Listen! from the little cabin comes note& of music, not of the organ or piano it is the music of the loom and wheel wafted on tho morning breeze and joiniDg in sweet harmony with the notes of the woodman's ax in'labor's song which proclaims the oncoming triumph that transforms a wilderness waBte from the hubitation of wild men and wild beasts into fruitful fields and happy homes. "The farmer has been the pioneer of civilization. In all ageB, through his toil, governments have grown mighty
Through neglect of his vocation king dome have declined and empires have fallen."
SET DOWN ON JONES.
Mr. Jones is the only colored member in the present legislature, is from Marion county and a republican. He lately aimed to eat a bill through by which colored children, wherever living could attend the nearest schools of their neighborhood, although at present the law does not allow it, but separate schools are managed in tho interest of colored children. The republican mom bers of the legislature sat right down on Mr. Jones' proposed measure, and would not have it. Mr. Jones doubtless thinks there is a deuced lot of sham, humbugs ry and hypocraey abo^t the republican party being the frietd of the colored race. Mr. Joneia should know that colored voters s?re wanted strictly to vote the republican ticket—nothing more. When it comes to holding office, or getting the party to aid in any improvements of their mental or moral condition, that is another question.
REGULATING TRUSTEES.
Several bills have been introduced into the legislature at the present session designed to regulate or curb the actions of many township trustees in their purchases of supplies for town
La Grippe
If you have had the Grippe, you know its aches and pains, the fever, the chills, the cough, the depression—you know them all. The Grippe exhausts the nervous system quickly, lowers the vitality. Two things should be done at once: —the body must be strengthened, and force must be given to the nervous system. Codliver Oil will do the first Hypophosphites the second. These are permanently and pleasantly combined in Scott's Emulsion.
It lifts the despondency and heals the inflamed membranes of the throat and lungs.
But you need not have LA GRIPPE. You can put your system in a condition unfavorable to it. You can have rich, red blood resistive strength steady brain and nerves. Scott's Emulsion prevents as well as cures.
And whether you send or go for Scott's Emulsion, be sure you get the genuine*

ships. The drift of these bills aim to prevent trustees from making purchases of any extensive amount without the investigation and consent of the county commissioners. Some such law would doubtless be of advantage to tax payere of most of the townships of the
State. Many of these rural roosters, acting as trustees become bewildered and enthusiastic soon after coming into office, over the amount of money in their possession and control, and ofien make extravagant, uselese and nonsensical purchases where none at all are needed. Money burns in some men6: hands and many trustees have found out to their sorrow and their bondsmen that it does. We have an instance in this county at this time if the New
Richmond Enterprise is to be believed. It lately Btated that the debt of Coal Creek township was about §20,000. This is a very large indebtedness
for
any township having no more wealth and improvements than Coal Creek to have, and the men up there paying taxes have reason, and great reason to complain. They have built, we understand, but one school house within tl past few years, while most of the others scattered over the township are poor ramshackle affairs that should have been replaced by good substantial houses years ago. Some body or bodies is greatly to blame for this. This big debt may have been accumulating for many years. We know nothing about that, and doubtless there are hundreds of other townships in the State that have had equall as bad management.
FEE AND SALARY BILL. The county officers lobby at the legislature last week through a Senator introduced bill greatly increasing the fees and salaries of their ^offices. It divides the 02 counties of the State into twelve classes, and pays county officers according to the population. This county iB placed in the sixth clase, having a population of over 30,000, and the proposed law would regulate the pay of officers in Montgomery county as follows:
In the sixth class the clerk gets 81,600 a year and 50 per cent, of the fee^ The auditor gets SI,000 a year and SS0 for each 1,000 inhabitants. 1'he recorder gets SI,050 a year and 50 per ceut. of the fees. The treasurer gets 81,300 a year, 6 per cent, on delinquent taxes, 1 per cent, on the first 8100,000 collected and one halt'of 1 per cent, on the excess. The sheriff gets 81,600 a year and 50 per cent, of all fees. We would suggest that this is anything but an appropriate time to increase fees and salaries for any offices, and the legislators prominent in it will have to make an accounting for it to his constituants if he ever "6Jta•before them for official favorB again. It seems to mo:t people from observation that sounty officers are thriving about as well as any other class of our citizens. Do you know of merchants, manufacturer?, teachers, or professors in any profession that are doing any better financially? We don't believe, financially speaking, they are, and it may be policy to let well enough alone. Business men of every calling are compelled to remain at it, as they cannot well pursue any other. The county officer does not. If it don't pay him to stay in his position he can promptly resign for something better.
TAXATION FOR EMPLOYMENT.
A number of laboring men were circulating petitions around town last week for signatures, asking the council to re-coneider its determination not to construct a sewer system, and asking that the work proceed, giving work, as they allege to a number of men without means or employment during the winter and spring. This work of obtaining signatures will probably be a profitless undertaking. There are two Bides in terested in the sewer question and two parties to be consulted—Uft men that would build them and thd^Rien having the expenses to bear. To build it would require increased taxation, and to increase any man's taxation now, or any possible early period, taking intoconsideration the excessive stringent times we are now having, would, to use no milder term, bo cruelty, if nothing more. No man now unless financially interested, should desire any increased taxation for any purpose whatever. The people have all tney can bear in these days of "hard" times and want no more now. No corporation has the right to tax men for the sake of furnishing employment to thoBe not so favorably situated.1 The sewer improvement is a matter that can be postponed. The city is as reasonably healthy as can be desired, although no sewer pipes are planted any where to carry off the tilth. We have, however, a big debt of $70,000 and hard times to contend with. Let us aim to rid ourselves of these lirst or to some extent at least, before contracting further burdens. We believe the prudent man will .suy this is the correct plan to pursue.
THE VANDALIA CLAIM.

a peg
legislature has advanced
or two over
predecessors iB
prosecuting its claim for school funds due ttie State, or said to be due, from that corporation. The company has made a report of its business from its construction to the year 1873. The thing now is to solve this vast array of figures and see it it can be evolved from their evidence of a debt of- school funds
^s?»
due the State. It is the opening of & vast amount of litigation. The company has succeeded so well for many long years in dodging these claims that it is likely to continue to do so as lor as possible. If in the opinion of the attorney-general the road ac ually does owe the State anything, the prosecution to make it pay should not be let up even if it continues for the next fifty years. If it is a just debt nothing should be allowed to intervene in the determination to secure it, regardless of time or expense. The company, of course, will secure the ablest legal talent of the country to fight the claim, and use every rosource known in legal history to prevent its payment, but the
State should be just as determined on its part to obtain what, if due, regardless of time or expense.
CHANGING THE BALLOT LAW.
The republican majoritv in the legislature last week voted to change that portion of the election law relating to the stamping of a ballot by the voter. Their change calls for the use of a blue pencil in place of a rul ber stamp. There is no necessity whatever for this change. The voters were becoming familiar with the proper manner of using it. It is quite evident that changing to the pencil is solely for future political benefit to the republican party, for advantages in deceiving igaorant voters. We trust Gov. Mount will see it and be broad enough in his views of political fairness and honesty to defeat the measure if submitted to him for his signature and approval. The majority of the voters of both parties are satisfied with the present law. It aims take no advantage of any voter of any party and should remain without change of any kind.
VETO SUCH BILLS.
The proposed new ihi"d penitentiary, the change in the system of management, the alteratirn of many of the existing laws, as brought up in bills be fore the legislature, are generally nothing more nor less than new schemes for ribbing the State treasury, and if the Governor has the proper amount of "sand" which the people hope he has, he will "eto all of them promptly as soon as they are brought to him. He should remember that the agricultural portions of the State with corn at 15 cents per bushel are not in a condition to submit to any proposed robberies wh'cb the politicians may have in contemplation. The man favoring retrenchment and* a reduction of public expenses has the ear of the people now..
There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseaeas put together, and until the last .few years was supposed to bo incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It iB taken internally in doBeB from 10 drops to a teaepoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucouB surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address,

For more than a hundred years the Shakers have been studying the remedial properties of plants. They have made many discoveries, but their greatest achieve i.ent was made last year. It is a cordial that contains already digested food and is a digester of food. It is effective in removing distress after eating, and creates an appetite for more food so that eating becomes a pleasure. Tale, thin people become plump and healthy under its use. It arrests the wasting of consumption.
There never has been'such a step forward in the cure of indigestion as this Shaker Cordial. Your druggist will be glad to give you a little book descriptive of the product.
