PROPRIETARY MEDICINES.

The bakoting to-day for U. S Senator resulted the same as heretofore less the pairs: For Turpie, 72 For Harrison, 68 For Allen, 4 We trust our Democratic Senawill remain firm, to adjournment if need be.

The Republicans are beginning to realize the fact that President of the Senate, Green Smith, is not as “green’’ as his name might imply. lhe Republican should Know that Dr. Patton is the peer of Mr. Thompson, and that its insinuations are calculate' to promote a comparison of the two men. >4 ■ The Republican professes to be fully posted with reference to what information may be in possession of the Senate Commi tee on Elections, but we rather think Mr. Marshall is simply giving his own personal views, under political bias and partizan fidelity to Mr. Thompson. Be that as it may, the committee is composed of men who are at least Mr. Thompson’s peers in honesty, intelligence, and good citizenship, and will no d übt do the right thing in the premises The Senate may nroperly accept the bounds fixed by the lower house upon which to unseat a member, and if not “an eye for an eye, and a tooth fora tooth,” make it a man for a man.

The R ensstlaer Republican is “f°rnenst” the compromise which resulted in the holding of joint sessions of the Senate and House of Representatives of Indiana, and wails out what might have been in the absence of the com. promise: “The contest would have been settled in the United States Senate, and probably in General Harrison’s favor.” Why in General Hnrrison’s favor? Not upon th 5 merits of the claim, but simply and alone bec »use he is a Republican. And such is the status of the honesty of Republican members of the United States Senate, as fixed by their own partizans and press. - Such sentiments are beastly, and is evidence that the authors would winK at and uphold corruption and the misuse of power in high places.

Immediately after the late election, in the interest of the Republican party of Indiana, Dudley assumed the role enacted by Zack Chandler in 1876. Knowing full well that the Legislature was Democratic on joint ballot, he starred out claiming the reverse, with a view takeover up their tracks while engaged in gigantic efforts to steal. This policy put Democrats on their guard, and the theft will not be acc uij li hed. Had the Demo- 1 xutk

Commission withdrawn when the rule applied to Louisiana was lefused in the case of Oregon, they would have performed a commendable act, and fraud would not triumphed in the elevation of •‘Fraud Hayes” to the Presidency. Let the Democratic members of our Legislature continue firm to the end —no compromise; no change of candidate—and a’l wil‘ be well. Vai Seib went to Indianapolis Monday. Mrs. M in. B.

Dr. L called in to see Mr. John G. Culp, Barkley township, Thursday, and we are pleased to announce reports considerable improvement in his condition.

A visit to Dr. Green’s Laboratory, at Woodbury, N. J., has considerably changed our views, and especially our prejudices in regard to what are generally known as “Standard Patent Medicines.” Of course we are getting to that age in life when we are forced to conclude Life itself is a humbug, and naturally distrust anything thal has not withstood long and tried experiences. Being a physician 1h d a curiosit to know how such a sale of two medical preparations could lie sust ined for so many years The perf-ct system upon which the business is conducted, and the pharmaceutical arrangements for the manufacture of the two reci ?e.’. with which we were made acquainted, are sufficiently convincing to us that the August Flower, for Dyspepsia and Liver Complaints, an I Boschhe's German Syrup, mr Throat and Lung Troubles, •■•ere for the complaints they are recommended, most excellent remedies, a n cl only regret that in much of our practice, medical ethics prevent us from prescribing the! l ? wi hout making the formulas pub lie. When we were shown the great quantity of voluntary letters having beon forwarded ' to Dr. Green from all parts of the country, and from all classes of people, lawyers, ministers ami doctors, giving a description of the ailments, testimonials of their cures, etc., I feel like endorsing Dr. Green's nggestion that the Government accept such valuable formulas, and license them for general use by giving protection o the inventor same as patents generally.-—N.
