THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT. BYfik It A Y WiLLIAMS DECATUR, INDIANA. Thursday, March 17, 1881. —The Charlotte, Mich., Republican eaye J. B. Weaver is the only surviving member of the defunct greenback party. The Czar of Russia, who was as sassinated on Sunday afternoon, an account of which appears in another column, was sixty-three years of age. —Read the Huntington Dimacrat's reply to the Indianapolis Journal on the temperance question. It is republished on the first page of this paper. — —The Springfield Republican, in speaking of President Garfield s cabinet, says: -It is mediocre, spotty and full of holes.” The Decatur Journal, an able exponent of Republican doctrine, says “so better selection could have been made.’* How great men differ. —The vote on the constitutional amendments last Monday was very light throughout the entire state. They received a two-thinds majority. In this, Washington, township one hundred and seventy votes were polled. The amendments carried here by about eighty majority, we believe. It was a quiet and uninteresting election. —Under the head line, “great men will differ,” our friendly cotemporary of last week quotes from our remarks of the week previous on the “going in and going owl” of the late administration. It also quotes from an Enquirer editorial on the good qualitiesof Hayes administration, and says they are on the same subject. Os course the Journal fancies it made a point and in consequence feels as proud as a boy with a new pair of red-top boots. Tile Democrat said that Hayes usurped the office of President; that he is a hypocritical fraud. The Enquirer only speaks es the merits or demerits of his administration, and for the information of our esteemed cotemporary we will say that when Hayes accepted the office to which he was not elected the Cincinnati Enquirer published an editorial, stating that ho held his title by virtue of the foulest crimes ever perpetrated by mortal man, but that he ; would be a de facto official for four years and that it would give.him credit fur whatever good he might accomplish as such official. —The fact that great men will differ from each other can not more fully , be shown than by quoting a few re- . marks from the editorial columns of , the Decatur Journal and the Indianapolis Journal. It will at once be ad- j rnittcd by every man, woman and child , in christendom that these two papers are the ablest exponents of Republican doctrines in the laud. In speaking of President Garfield’s cabinet the Decatur Journal says: “The cabinet of General Garfield's has been made up with the following results, and we believe no better selection could have been made.'' Now the Indianapolis Journal, in speaking of the same subject, uses the following language, which to any honest and candid man appears more sensible.

“It is a good thing for a commonplace man to inherit a great name. Ask Bob Lincoln.” “What did Bon Lincoln do to elect Garfield? What has Bos Lincoln ever done for the Republican party? Who is Bob Lincoln, anyhow, except the son of his mother." “In enumerating the cabinet officers, do not forget Hunt, of Louisiana. It would be a public misfortune to omit Hunt. Hunt is a Judge of the Court of Claims, and wears an eighteen-inch collar. Hunt lives in Washington and is widely known in that city. Who is Hunt, anyhow ? Hunt him up." “It is mediocre.” “It is composed of third-rate men.” “It is an attempt to compromise geographical claims with political difficulties. an effort to arrange party preference by the distribution of party patronage.” We leave it for the readers of Tun llfmograt to decide which of the above shining lights of Republicanism speak the sentiments of the majority of the intelligent citizens of our common country. THE CZaToF RUSSIA Ascassinaled In a Street of St. Petersburg. Washington, March 13. —The following telegrams were received here this afternoon: “St. Petersburc, March 13.—T0 James G. Blaine, Secretary of State, Washington : The Emperor was wounded in his carriage to-day by a bomb. Injury not jet known. “Foster.” “St. Petersburg, March 13.—T0 Jsmes G. Blaine, Secretary of Stale,! Washington: The Emperor is dead. j “Foster” ‘ Berlin, Mareh 13.—T0 James G. , Blaine, Secretary of State, Washington ; The Emperor of Russia was assinated this afternoon. W’hite. Minister.” Upon receipt of the second dispatch from Foster that the Emperor was dead, Secretary Blaine cabled the following. Fester, American Minister, St. Pe-

tershurg: Express to the Minister of Foreign Affairs the sentimentof sorrow with which the President and people of the United States have heard of the terrible crime of which the Emperor has been the victim, and their profound sympathy with the imperial family and the Russian people in their sad affliction. “Blaine, Secretary.” St. Petersburg, March 13. —As | the Emperor was returning from the parade in Michal Manege, about two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, a bcmb was thrown and exploded under the Czar's carriage, doing considerable damage to the carriage. The Czar alighted unhurt, but a second bomb exploded at his feet, shattering both his legs below the knee, aud inflicting other ter rible injuries. The Czar was immediately conveyed to the Winter Palace, where he died at 4:30 this afternoon. Two persons were concerned in the crime, one of whom was seized immediately. The explosion also killed an officer and two Cossacks. Many policemen and other persons were injured The Official Messenger makes ths ' following announcement. “God’s will has been done. At 3:25 o'clock this (Sunday) afternoon the almighty called the Emperor to Himself. A few minutes before the death of the Emperor he received the sacrament.” London, March 13.—A St. Petersburg correspondent says “The imperial carriage was attacked on the Ekotrinafsky Canal, opposite the imperial stables, while the Emperor was returning with the Grand Duke Michael from Michael Palace, in a closed carriage, escorted by eight Cossacks. The first bomb fell near the carriage destroying the back part The Czar and his brother alighted uninjured. The assassin, on being seized by a Colonel of Police, drew a revolver, but was prevented from firing it. A second bomb was then thrown by another person, and fell close to the Czar’s feet, its explosion shat- , tering both legs. The Czar fell, crying for help. Colonel Dorjibky, though himself much injured, raised the Emperor, who was conveyed to the Winter Palace in Colonel Dorjibky's sleigh. Large crowds assembled before the Palace, but were kept back by a troop of Cossocki. The imperial family were ail assembled at the death-bed. A Council of State was immediately convened. All places of resort were closed." A St. Petersburg correspondent telegraphs : “The Czar's right leg was nearly tors from his body, and his left leg badly shattered. A Cossack and a ’ passer-by were killed on the spot. inC Duke Michael was wounded. An offi- j | cer of the escort and a Cossak have since died. The Czar lingered an hour and a half. All efforts to rally him failed. The only word he uttered after being struck was the name of the Czarowitz. The latter, on leaving the palace after the death of the Czar, was hailed as Emperor by the crowd. He was surrounded, contrary to his custom, by a strong mounted eseort. The peo pie are intensely excited and indignant. The soldierly, who greatly loved the Csar, are furious. All officials hastened to the Palace to inquire as to the condition of the Czar. Telegrams announcing his death were sent to all foreign Courts, and to every part of the Empire. “It is stated the bombs were made of thick glass, filled with nitro glycerine. I The assassins stood on opposite sides of the road. The carriage was moving fast, and the first shell struck behind it and the back of the carriage was blown out. The coachman implored the Czar to enter the carriage again, but he moved a few spaees from the carriage to sec the wounded of his es cort. The assassin who threw the first bomb tried to point a revolver at the Czar, but the pistol was struck from his hand.

“The Czar seemed to recover consciousness before his death, as he motioned away the doctors, who wished to amputate his legs. The Czarowiti and I Czarevna drove to their palace after his death amid the sympathizing cries of the people. A company of guards surrounded the palace.” The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and the Grand Duke Alexis have left London for St. Petersburg. Cologne, March 13, —A St. Peters- ! burg dispatch says : “The two asssas- : 1 sins of the Czar were immediately ar- ; rested. The gas-lamps in Michael i Garden beside the canal were broken 1 in pieces by the concussion. A cordon ■ of guards was drawn around the scene of the murder. The streets were densely thronged with excited crowds. The i utmost sympathy for the Imperial fam ily is everywhere expressed. The bells of the principal churches are tolling.' Rome. March 13.—1 n consequence of the death of the Czar, Premier Cairoli postponed his reception until Monday. Vienna, March 13.—The Emperor Francis Joseph received the first news of the Czar's marder. He immediately J »ent messages of condolence to the , Czarowiti and the Imperial family. Garfield's Sorrow. New York Sun. Man is born to trouble. On the very day after his inauguration the new President has come to grief. The oc- | casion was his parting with the cabinet | of his predecessor. “I assure you. gen- ■ tieman, he said, “it causes me sincere 1 j regret to part with your valuable serv- , ices.” He is said to have spoken very I feelingly. J | Why was it that the President did : i not relieve hia intense suffering by inviting the several Secretaries to withdraw the resignations they have tendered and remain in the cabinet is not 1 made apparent. Undoubtedly there | ' was some good reason, or he would not . : have grieved so terribly with the means of immediate relief in his own hands. I

The Acme Harrow has been brought to , its present state of perfection only after I years spent tn experimenting and a large expenditure of money. WHAT IT IS USED FOR ? This question is answered by the following ext.acts from testimonials from practical farmers: “We have been plowing corn on green sward that was harrowed by the Acme, which had done its work so well and left the land so light that one furrow with the plow was found sufficient between the rows.” “It worked the sod so fine that I ven- 1 tured tc sow oats, aud they are growing finely.” “1 used it for cross harrowing my corn ground and find that It does not tear up I the sod.” “On a piece of old meadow, awful tough ! sod, the common harrow only made scratch marks and the Acme made the land all fine to the depth of three or four inches. “Have worked it on flat ground plowed last fall, which had not been plowed for thirty years. Going over it both ways it cut it up like an ash heap.” For further particulars or information call on or address the agent. I will also canvass the above named Bounties and earnestly solicit a trial of the harrows by enterprising farmers. Residence, northeast of Adams Stave I Factory, Decatur, Ind.

RECTAL DISEASES A SPECIALTY BY DR. A. B. JAMISON, Who is permanently located at Decatur. Satisfaction Guaranteed! PILES--N 0 CURE, NO PAY! Os the many eases I am bo* treating and have examined I find it a comaoa xoTiox of the sufferers “that they have the Piles.'' They write, send er ask for medieine for the Piles You can not tell, nor ceuld I, if I urn SOT make an txamintion. You wouldjost m likely be right to call all trouble of the ftoctnm Cauoer as to eali it the Piles.~lf yon have a sore throat you desire to know what kind—Diptheria, Tonsillitis ; if fever —Bilious, Lung, Drain, Typhoid, etc., then you have an idea of the danger. Then why eall every trouble of the Rectum Piles’ Hundreds of young men and womeei aad older persons go lo their grave from Reotal diseases —most likely Ulceration or Cancer—and the so called Piles are not accused of murder. Never say you have the Piles nnless some physician tells you so, or any other difficulty; and knew how high—one, two or three inches—and how much surface diseased. One-half of the oases I am called on to examine or treat have no Piles at all, but a disease a thousand lima worse. I find manr troubled with Pitas, Tabs sad Utcbbaticx I have yet to find a simple case of Piles without ulceration. Ur. Alliagham says “Ulceration extending above the internal sphincter, and frequently situated entirely above that musele, is not so very uncommon a disease: it ia"rent misery upon the patient, and, o* a diiions qwiU incurable, aad the patient tlßf of unlsss extraordinary means are resorted to. In the earliest stages of the malady careful, rational and prolonged treatment io often successful and the patient is restored to health ; 1 wish I could say Ute same of the severe and long-elan ding cases Uleeratiea of the rectum ean only be mistaken for malignant diseases. • * As the earlier manifestations are fairly amenable te treatment, it is of the try boot importance that the disease should be recognised early.” I believe it to be malignant, and have cases that speak for themselves. If you have any trouble some in time and find out year danger Find outjhow much your head, memory, heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, bladder, womb, back and legs are troubled from your diseased Rectum. I oould name many persons that I am now treating who have some one or two argans derang'd and have spent a great deal of money to no purpose, because it poos not roach the cause of trouble. I Oi’anaxTßß the Ceai of Pilko. Should 1 fail, I will pay your Baitnoan and Herat Bitts, return every ooat you have paid, and make you a present of o>s Hainaan Dei.taito. Examination free to all.
