ipt ywmtN SwlmlOFFICIAL PA FEB OF JABPER COUNIT. FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1880

An anti-Gr; nt iner ting nt Indianapolis on Monday nigl.t broke up in a row. The Democrats of Maine indorsed the nominee of th? Greenbackers for Governor. Up to the hour of going to pree no balloting for President lias been had in the Chicago convention. Demo ■ratio State Convention at Indianapolis, next Wednesday, when the next Governor of Indiana will be placed in nomination. Tho first new wheat of the season was received at St. Louis, Saturday, from Fort Worth, Texas, and was so d at auction on ’Grange for M,621 per bushel. Tho recent republican state convenof lowa was open 'd with the following prayer by the exceedingly pious chaplain selected for the occasion: “O, Lord, if Thou permittest the democrats to triumph this fall, thy faithful children cannot but regard Thee as tho friend of bulldozers and traitors.”

After attempting for several wed s to throw a bomb into the Democratic camp, old “stericky” gives it up in despair, and this week proffers his medicine to the Nationals, lie labors under the soothing delusion that the people in this locality can easily have the wool drawn over their eyes by such conceited “Smart Alecks” as himself. He is now trying his skill upon Charley Price, and he will wake up one of these days to a relization of the fact that Charley lias “given him away” badly. Congress votes money to meet all tho expt uses of thejGovernrnent the Fraud vetoes tho appropriation and prohibits the use of the funds appropropriated. Who is to blame? The Fraud,of course, because he refuses to pay out what Congress has sanctioned. It is withheld by virtue of Hayes’ veto. But our neighbor says “Every pensioner who is pinched because of the withholding of money due can thank the Democratic party for it, * * * because of the president’s veto.” For gauziness commend us to our neighbor.

The old man of tho Republican is getting patriotic again. He commences an article on Democrats and the war, thus: “When we hear a Northern Democrat boast of how the Democratic paity helped to put down the late Democratic rebellion, we are remind ed of what the old man said to his more plucky spouse—“ Didn’t we kill tho bear,” etc. Well that’s a smart reminder. At the time the author of theabove item was at home listening to and relishing the anecdotes of the “old man and his more plucky spouse,” Democrats were engaged in putting down the rebellion, and the simpleton never realized that fact. A Great Manager.—lt is evident our neighbor desires to outdo Jay Gould in sucuring management and control of parties. Ho has sought to control the NatlonalJlmporial convention, in session this week at Chicago, in the interest of Jim Blaine, the “plumed knight” of the Mulligan Guards. He seeks to control the radical congressional convention in the interest of Thompson, “Jasper county’s candidate.” He seeks tp control the balance of the radical district conventions, and the county convention in the interest of the radical ring in Rensselaer. And he seeks to control the actions of the Democratic and National parties in such a way’as to inure to the advantage of the ring that directs him.

The Philadelphia Ledger, (Ind.) states the reason “Why Immigrants Don’t Go South,” thus: “Those newspapers which significantly inquire why the immigrants that are flocking into the country do not go South, would answer their own questions by saying that life and property are unsafe in the Southern States. So far as in their power lies these newspapers try to create this impression, and doubtless many writers ignorantly believe it. But there is no truth in it. The reason why immigrants do not go South is because or the preoccupation of the land by negroes. The immigrants do not wish to enter into direct competition with negro labor, and they prefer, as a matter or choice, to settle where there is an undoubted preponderance of European or white American blood. For the same reason the Yankee movement from the New Engiand States is Westward instead of Southward. They affect a sentimental liking for the negro, which they carry into their politics, but not into their business.”

Valparaiso Messenger: The Logansport Pharos, the democratic organ of Cassfcounty, in speaking of the Hon, John N. Skinner, of Porter county, the greenback candidate for congress in thts district, says: “The Valparaiso Messenger solemnly remarks that ‘Mayor Skinner will be the next congressman from this district. The gods have decieed it.’ Mr. Skinner will get no nearer congress this year than he did two years ago, when he suffered himself to be used as a tool to beat Hon. Moigan H Weir, the regular democratic nominee.” In the first place, it is not true that Mr, Skinner “suffered himself to be used as a tool to beat Hen. Morgan H. "Weir, the regular democratic nominee”; and in the second place, had Mr. Skinner not been a candidate at all, Mr. Weir could not have been elected, ♦ * ♦ * The fact

is, Mr. Weir and Mr. Skim.er were bath candidates before the Wanatah greenback convention, and the only political difference I etween them, at that time, was that Mr. Skinner got the nomination and Mr. Weir didn’t. Then, when the democratic convention was held in Valparaiso, some weeks afterwards, Mr. Skinner was ruled out of that convention, by a resolution introduced by Mr. Murray, and Mr. Weir was nominated without opposition. Mr Weir and bis fiiends then demanded that Mr. Skinner should withdraw in his favor, because, he said, he was just as good a green backer as Mr. Skinner. This was not done. Mr. Weir was beaten in hi > own democratic county by over one hundred majority; while MrJSkinner carried his republican county by a majority of 353 over Calkins, republican, and 1,306 over Weir, democrat. We take it for granted that the Pharos desires the overthrow of the republican party in this district As constituted, this district is republican by over 1,700 majority, and what chance of election would a democrat stand against such odds? Now, if Mr. Skinner be nominated or endorsed by the democrats, Porter county will give him enough votes to overcome this republican majority. This is no braggadocio. In 1878, the vote in Porter county, for congress, stood, Skinner, 170-1, Weir, 498, and Calkins, 1,351. For secretary of state, same year, Moore, republican, 1,621, ShankI'n, 'h moci at, 1,182, and James, greenb.ik r, 775—showing a. republican majority over rhe democrats of 139 in the county. Now add the vote of Skinner and Weir together, and then subtract the vote cast for Calkins therefrom, and Porter county is go-d for 871 majority for Skinner. This is Mr. Ski: net’s record. No democrat that can be nominated at Monticello -however worthy and deserving he may be of the support of every democrat in this district—can possibly carry such a largo vote in Porter county. In view of this fact, and others that we have stated, what will it profit the democrats if they run a straight democrat and lose the election? When the democrats .meet in convention, at Monticello, on the 16th of next month, we fcrvensly hope they will have the good sense to nominate Mr. Skinner, and win at the polls. While, of course, we expect to abide the decision of the Democratic Congressional Convention called to meet at Monticello on the 16th, there are two or three propositions contain • ed in theabove widen we think sho’d have weight and favorable consideration in the deliberations of that body. Ist. Every true democrat “desires the overthrow of the republican party in ibis district..” 2d. “What will it profit the democrats if they run a straight democrat and lose the election?” 3d. “Mr. Skinner will more nearly meet the views of the democracy, than a renulican representative.” As the selection of the Convention we have no doubt Mr. S. would receive a hearty, cheerful support, and victory the the result.

For Congress.

The Delphi Times has heretofore been strongly opposed to the “mountain going to Mahomet,” but in its issue of this week takes the following sensible view cf the situation: “The question presented by the near approach of the time fixed for the choosing oi a candidate for Congress by the Democracy of this district is one which should be receiving the earnest attention of the voters. At the election in 1878, the vote of the district was as follows: Cointies. Rep. Dem. Nat, Lake, - - 1.618 975 116 Porter, - 1,351 493 1,703 Newton, - 927 434 465 Jasper, - - 1,060 551 493 Benton, - 993 977 563 White, - - 1,333 1,222 598 Pulaski, - 715 770 496 Fulton/ - - 1,401 1,389 431 Cass, ... 2,664 2,639 1,09 s Carroll, - - 1,829 2,012 344 Total, 13.991 11,462 6,332

Thus it will be seen that while the majority of the Republicans over the Democrats was 2,329, the combined vote of the Democrats and Nationals exceeded the Republican by 3,903. It is thqs made evident at a glance that if the Democracy antagonize the Nationals the election of a Republican is assured. We have, therefore, only to choose between a coalition with the Greenbackers and the certainty of defeat. The question to be answered by the Democratic voters of the district is, Is it more wise to choo?e a Representative who is pledged to oppose the nefarious schemes of centralization and extravagance that distinguish the Republican policy, or to place ourselves in a position where we can but add to the strength of the party whose principles and policies every Democratic and National voter equally despises? The Times holds tc the principle that it is not only the correct policy but the unmistakable duty of all opponents of Radicalism to form any combination that will compass the defeat of the common enemy. For this, and for additional reasons which we will give, the Times earnestly hopes that the Democratic Convention, which assembles at Monticello on the 16th inst., will nominate for Repre sentative in Congress Hon. John N. Skinner, of Porter county. Mr. Skinner is a Democrat, and if eleeted to Congress will act with ihe Democracy in opposing every scheme by which the Republicans hope to per petuate their power to rob and oppress the people of the country. If elected, he will represent the people of the Tenth District in a manner acceptable to the patriotic opponents of Radicalism, whether those opponents affiliate with the Democratic or Naiional parties. With him as our candidate success is more than prob able. Without him, defeat is cer tain.” —The ladies of the Presbyterian church will give a strawberry and ice-cream festival, at the church, next Wednesday evening. An enjoyable time is promised and every patron will be handsomely treated, The Black C ashmeres at the Cheap Store, are selling very rapidly. As many as five nice patterns being cut in one day. This is proof positive of their cheapness.

In the contested election case in the House, between cx-Governor Curtin of Pennsylvania, and the fitting member, Yocum, it would have been clearly to the advantage of the Democrats, in a partisan sense, to unseat Yocum and give the place to Curtin, and being a majority they had the power to take such action. That they did not shows that Democrats act upon their sense of what is right and just, and not upon partisanship merely. The same is true in the DonnellyWash burnejand Kellogg-Spofford cases. The Democrats have it in their power to turn out both Washburn and Kellogg, and thereby gain partisan advantage, but it is clear that they will not so act in either case. Republicans have never acted against party interest in this way. and never allowed any consideration of right or justice to stand in tho way of partisan advantage. When they had power in Congress and a contested election came up for settlement, the Democrats always had to go. In every Congress they’ turned out Democrats on tlie flimsiest kinds of pretexts. — They acted in all cases on the rule laid down by the late Thaddeus Stevens. “Which is our rascal?” Old Thad, would enquire when it would come to a vote. “I’ll vote to seat him of course.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer Kellogg was seated by a radical majority’ in the face of all right, and and in the interest of honesty 7 and justice lie should be unseated. Right should be sustained, but wrong ought not to stand. The radicals will repeat tin' farce whenever they have the power, and when occasion presents itself.

REMINGTON ITEMS.

The recent rains have had such a deleterious .•ffeet upon the fields that in some localities they 7 are perfectly inundated, thereby 7 causing much replanting and a delay of cultivation which is rather discouraging to farmers. Mr. Vviliiam Rich, a well-known farmer residing a mile and a half west ol this place, wa so unfortunate as to have ills barn and corn crib annilated by’ fire 1 ; iday evening, the 28th ult., but providentially, his horses were in the pasture, and implements all safe. It is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary, probably a tramp Tlie Tribby store has again changed hands, and is now owned by’ McIntire & Goldsberry, who have ordered a new stock and will be ready for business soon. The farmers may be encourged at the prospects of a yield of wheat, outs and flax, superior to that of any previous year, Ou Saturday morning, May 7 29th, Mr. David Ravcnscroft and Miss Sophy Cross wi re united in the sacred boiids of matrimony, and chose for their wedding tour the excursion to Logan.

It Is the first and only perfect Inhaler ever invented. Other vapor-making; Inhalers carry the vapor in a crude and objectionable state to the breathing; apparatus. Dr. Barber’s invention washes it free from all unwholesome particles through pure water, making it a faultless Inhaling instrument. C-A_T_A-ZEvZEtZE3Z Bronchitis, Asthma, Hay Fever, and other diseases of the air passages of Nose, Throat and Lungs, can be reached only by Inbalation. Dr. Barber’s Inhaler carries healing vapor direct to the sore and inflamed surfaces, and searches out the very seat of disease. It is a complete treatment in Itself—not a quack device for luring the sufferer to buy a batch of high-priced “ secret” nostrums. All intelligent physicians use and recommend Dr. Barber’s Inhaler. It cures Catarrh in all stages. It cures Bronchitis, It relieves and cures Asthma and Hay fever. It cures Pneumonia, Biptheria, and even Consumption, if taken in time. It furnishes The ONLY TRUE WAY to CURE all diseases of the breathing apparatus. It is the cheapest radical and complete treatment ever known. Druggists sell Dr. Barber’s Inhaler.

B BALD gfflk HEAD’S A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY I CARBOLINE I

A Deodorized extract of Petroleum, The Only Article that Will Restore Hair on Bald Heads. What the World has been Wanting for Centuries. The greatest discovery of onr day, so far as a large portion of humanity is concerned, is CARBOLINE, an article prepared from petroleum, and which effects a complete and radical cure in case of baldness, or where the hair, owing to diseases of the scalp, has become thin and tends to fall out. It is also a speedy restorative, and while its use secures a luxuriant growth of hair, it also brings back the natural color, and gives the most complete satisfaction in the using. The falling out of the hair, the accumulations of dandruff, and the premature change in color are all evidences of a diseased condition of the scalp and the glands which nourish the hair. To arrest these causes the article used must possess medical as well as chemical virtues, and the change must begin under the scalp to be of permanent and lasting benefit. Such an article is CARBOLINE, and, like many other wonderful discoveries, it is found to consist of elements almost in their natural state. Petroleum oil is the article which is made to work such extraordinary results ; but it is after it has been chemically treated and completely deodorized that it is in proper condition for the toilet. It was in far-off Russia that the effect of petroleum upon the hair was first observed, a Government officer having noticed that a partially bald-headed servant of his, when trimming the lamps, had a habit of wiping his oil-besmeared hands in his scanty locks, and the result was in a few months a much finer head of black, glossy hair than he ever had before The oil was tried on horses and cattle that had lost their hair from the cattle plague, and the results were as rapid as they were marvelous. The manes and even the tails of horses, which had fallen out, were completely restored in a few weeks. These experiments were heralded to the world, but the knowledge was practically useless to the prematurely bald and gray, as no one in civilized society could tolerate the use of refined petroleum as a dressing for the hair. But the skill of one of our chemists has overcome the difficulty, and by a process known only to himself, he has, after very elaborate and costly experiments, succeeded in deodorizing refined petroleum, which renders it susceptible of being handled as daintily as the famous eau de cologne. The experiments with the deodorized liquid on the human hair were attended with the most astonishing results, : A few applications, where the hair was thin and falling,gave remarkable tone and vigor to the scalp and hair. Every particle of dandruff disappears on the first or second dressing, and the liquid so searching in its nature, seems to penetrate to the roots at once, and set up a radical change from the start. It. is well known that the most beautiful colors are: made from petroleum, and, by some mysteriousoperation of nature, the use of this article gradually imparts a beautiful light-brown color to the hair which by continued use, deepens to a black. The color remains permanent for an indefinite length of time, and the change is so gradual that the most intimate friends can scarcely detect its progress. In a word, it is the most wonderful discovery of the age, and well calculated to make the prematurely bald and gray rejoice. We advise our readers to give it a trial, feeling satisfied that one application will convince them of its wonderful effects.— Pittsburgh Commercial of Oct. 22, 1877. The article is telling its own story in the hands of thousands who are using it with the most gratifying and encouraging results : W. H. Brill & Co., Fifth Avenue Pharmacy, says. “We have sold preparations for the hair for upward of twenty years, but have never had one to sell as well or give such universal satisfaction. We therefore recommend it with confidence to our friends and the general public.” Mr. Gustavus F. Hall, of the Oates Opera Troupe, writes: “After six weeks’ use lam convinced, us are also my comrades, that your ‘Carboline’ has and is producing a wonderful growth of hair where 1 had none for years.” C. H. Smith, of the Jennie Hight Combination, writes: “ After using your ‘ Carboline’ throe weeks I am convinced that bald heads can be ‘re-haired.’ It's simply wonderful in my case.” B. F. Arthur, chemist, Holyoke, Mass., writes: “ Your * Carboline’ has restored my hair after everything else had failed.” x Joseph E. Pond, attorney-at-law, No. Attleboro, Maes., writes : For more than 30 years a portion of my head has been as smooth and free from hair as a billiard ball, but some eight weeks ago I was induced to try your CarboTine, and the effect kas been simply wonderful. Where no hair has been seen for years there now appears a thick growth, and I am convinced that by continuing its use I shall have as good a head of hair as I ever had. It is growing now nearly as rapidly as hair does after iris cut. CARBOLINE Is now presented to the public without fear of contradiction as the beet Restorative and Beautifler of the Hair the world has ever produced. Price. ONE DOLLAR per bottle. <’ Sold by all Druggists. KENNEDY & c67hTTSBURG,PA., Bole Agents for the United States, the Canadas and Great Britain.'
