It is with no malice towards the doctors, but a little judicious use of quinine to-day nmy keep the doctor out of your house some other day.

As will be seen in our local columns, Vigo county has raised the amount allotted to it for the Morton monument fund. Mr. Nick Filbeck deserves much credit for his personal exertions in securing the $1,000, which lias been remitted to the general committee in charge of the fund.

The New York Times devotes some space to the consideration of the peanut as a proper articlc for protection by duty. The comparatively low price of the fragrant nut will admit of a cent or two on the pound as tariff. We can rely upon Senator Yoorhees' support in developing the cultivation of this southern product.

As the reports come in of congressional nominations, we find that a. majority of the members of congress who voted for the riverand harbor bill are being renominated and some who voted against it have failed to secure a renominalion. This applies equally to Democratic and Republican districts, neither party seeming to care about tho record of their candidates on this measure.

The perpetual candidacy of Gen. B. F. Butler for tho governor's chair of Massachusetts does not seem to attract the same admiration from the Democratic press at large as does the fresher effort of Hon. Grover Cleveland. AVe do not know much about the latter, .but can expect to learn much before he is the governor of New York.

The action of some of the Mormon officials in refusing to give up their books and papers to their successors appointed by Governor Murray is not surprising. We may expect.to see determined opposition from the Mormon leaders to the full enforcement of the acts of congress, which must result in their downfall. The wily and stubborn polygnmists must be pushed to the wall.

Dr. James Adair, who died at Mendota, Ills., Thursday, is reported-as being the sole originator in 1867 of the Greenback movement, which led to so much correspondence at the time between him and Horace Greeley. As will be remembered, a political party was organized, and George W.' Menior, of Illinois, and William G. Walter, of Pennsylvania, were voted for as president and vice-president.

The Evansville Courier gloats over the anticipated division of the postoffices, etc., among the Democrats in 1SS4, and declares with great and serious earnestness that only those who have sorved their country well, by serving their party faithfully will be remembered. At the "same time it alludes to Grover Cleveland as the next president. The accidental nominee of the New York Democrats has the necessary deficiency of record to make a safe candidate.

party plored It is the result oi» factional feeling, and at this distance is inexcusable. For the good of the party it were better that both factions should be relegated to the rear, and that tho great'mas's'ofHepublican sentiment be represented in the chief object, that of resisting in common the onslaught of the Democracy.

The administration of President Arthur has received the cordial and enthusiastic support of many state Republican conventions and of the Republican press. It has also forced from the Democratic press an acknowledgment of ability and good government. In the present crisis the fact that the administration was associated with the recent nomination of Judge Folger, which act is surrounded with dubious transactions, is one of the most regretted incidents of the difficulty now confronting the party. We most heartily desire the success of every Republican administration, and equally dislike the occurrence of anything tending to deprive the present one of its well earned praise.

If Judge Folger's nomination has been secured by fraud and perjury it can not command that support his name would otherwise bring to the party. His reputation as an able and honest man is an honor to the Republican party, and is strong enough almost to offset all difficulties that could beset the ticket. With such a man as the candidate for governor, the Republican piirty harmonized would carry New York against the most effective., preparations of the Democrats. This year the latter have, for a change, acted wisely in refusing to make stupendous blunders, and there is consequently all the more reason for the display of wisdom in our own party. It is a safe rule, generally, as General .Grant once remarked, to depend on the Democracy outstripping the Republicans in costly mistakes, but from the present outlook this New York affair is an exception to the rule. The only question left is as to what shall now be done Whateve course is adopted should be decided upon without delay. It should be decided upon, also, with the purpose of electing the ticket, as the rulfng consideration.

We believe this can be accomplished because wo have faith from experience, in the capacity of the Republican party to overcome great obstacles. The party in New York State has been severely tried in its ability to accomplish results seemingly beyond reach. This is a time for the men in the party in that state to act wisely and without any feeling but the one of a desire for success and for such happy effect the Republicans -throughout the country will once more have occasion to send their congratulations to their brethren of the great Empire state.

The last section of the great speech by Hon. D. W. Yoorhees, now being issued as a serial in the Gazette, is said to give the views of the eloquent senator upon civil service form. Naturally those not already familiar with the speech will examine this extract to find out what are Mr. Yoorhees' views on this important question, to ascertain what this statesman proposes as a substitute for the present system, what measures of relief, what plan of appointment, what cheek upon malfeassance, etc.

The senator has no views to such effect that can be discovered, but he indulges in quite a flight of ironical eloquence over what ho considers Senator Harrison's short-comings in the same line. That Harrison pledges himself to advocate civil service reform is an explicit avowal that there are evils to be reformed and that Mr. Yoorhees's views upon the same are limited to charges against Republican officeholders is no earnest of his desire to reformanybody but Republicans. The necessity for a reform of the civil service arises from the evils connected with the plan of appointments and the nature of the tenure of office incident to the Americin political system. Although it is but lately that we acknowledge this necessity it existed as fully when Buchanan's officials played into the hand of the southern rebels, or when Democratic officials levied their assessments upon officeholders in the last terni which gave them the opportunity.

The line sneer of Mr. Yoorhees at Mr. Harrison's frigidity and arctic seclusion may be sarcastic, but with it he does not pledge himself to very much reform. Quite the contrary he promises to his eager and expectant friends to encourage the indiscriminate scramble for office, to which apappointment must go by favor as much as by merit, as in the good old times. It appears to many that one very important point in civil service reform is to remove from the politicians the opportunity of rewarding by snug offices, not the most competent or honest, but their most devoted henchmen. We are well aware of tho sociability, condescension and readiness to oblige a friend and neighbor, of Hon. D. W. Yoorhees, and with all that we notice a bid for support by a promise to unlimited offices, in his speech, and predict that no system of civil service reform will receive his support that will take the appointing power from senatorial hands, if he happens to be a senator.

For the past month we have been informad at every sudden change in the weather that it was. "good for the corn:" We suppose the present weather can be charged to the account of malaria.

Folger's Resignation—His Sucoossor. Special to the Cincinnati Commercial. WASHINGTON, Sopt., -'8,—A Jontlc-. man who olnitUH to lmvo personal knowledge NI.VH that tho resignation of Secretary Folger in now In tho hands of tho secretary of stato, subject to the. official notification of hi« nomination for governor of New York and Ills formal acceptance of the samo. Tho fact that ho ban gone to Uouuva, wliero ho will bo met by tho committee, carryins "with him tho ft toW' quantity of unllnished businoHH to ho attended to then*, gives rise to tho belief that he does not Intend to return to Washington, and that thoro is no foundation for tho statement above made. l'eoplo who have pretty thoroughly canvassed the matter of Secretary Folger's successor, havo ntirrowed tho number of those spoken of in that connection down to Assistant Secretary of tho Treasury Tstnv, of .Indiana, ox-Nen-ator Piatt, New York, and .Senator Allison, of Iowa, it is said that Mr. Crowley, who has boon mentioned, says ho is not a candidate for the position and does not want it. Senator Jones, who is a eloso friend of President Arthur and who has also been spoken of, says he would not take the place for the reason that if ho should the senatorship from Nevada would be vacant, and might be tilled by a Democrat. In view of this danger it is thought probable tho president would not offer liim the position. Secretary Chandler says there is nothing whatever in the statement that lie would probably be offered the oflice of secretary of the treasury, and added that he does not believe the president has ever considered the question of Secretary Folger's successor.

The Star has the following political points: "Secretary Chandler, when asked last night about the rumor that lie waS to succeed Mr. Folger, said: 'You had better deny it. There is nothing whatever in it. If Secretary Folger should leave the department, it is not at all probable that I would succeed him. Moreover, I don't believe the president has ever considered the question of a successor to Secretary Folger.'"

It is inferred from this and..,other statements that Secretary Folger intends to remain in oflice until after the New York elections.

The English Temperance Movement. Saturday Review. What the national temperance association, tho blue ribbon army, and a hundred similar associations are now laboring to bring about is the establishment of total abstinence by law. If they are not prepared, perhaps, to go the length of-immediately prohibiting the sale or purchaso of intoxicating liquors in any form, it is simply because they doubt whether legislation of this kind would be as efficacious in the first instance as some less drastic measure. If they could make it impossible for any Englishman to have a glass of beer in his house, they would gladly do so. The reason why they content themselves with tryingto make it impossible for any Englishman to get a glass of beer outside his house is merely that they hold that the half loaf is more within their reach than the whole. It is this passion for state prohibition that makes so sharp a division between abstainers and the rest of the world. If they merely cenfounded temperance with abstinence, and said hard things of those who are able to see a distinction between the two, their wrong-headedness might be condoned in consideration of the good they undoubtedly do. But when they seek to enforce their crochets bylaw, tho situation is completely changed. AVe do not wish to be made slaves, even though we should be a more sober people 'when enslaved than we were when we were free. A radical journal has lately told us that "the movement in self-governed communities toward the restriction has long been known to be gaining strengthand, further, that the "tendency is not less strongly felt in autocratic Russia than in the great democracies of the AVest." We should be quite prepared to hear that it is more strongly felt in autocratic Russia than anywhere else. The more autocratic, the government of a country is the move natural it is that some of its subjects should be forbidden to drink any alcohol because other of its subjects drink too much. Happily wo are not vet come to this point in England but in the view of the vigor and persistence of the organization which is laboring to bring us to it, there is the utmost need for watchful resistance on the part of those who do not wish that it should Over be reached.

John R. East's View of Mr. Yoorhees. Cincinnati Gazette. In the Indiana campaign Mr. John R. East, in a speech at Shelbyville, taking occasion from Mr. Yoorhee's prediction of what would happen if if the prohibition amendment carried, reviewed Mr. Yoorhees as a political prophet, stating what he had predicted of every Republican measure, beginning with the defense of the Union, which, he said, would be the death of the Nation. The list is so extensive and comprehensive as to show that Mr. Yoorhees lias blundered on every measure since he has been in public life, never even by accident having discerned anything "as it came to pass.

Startling Figures.

The New York Tribune has been looking up the statistics of the liquor trade and from them deduces some very surprising conclusions. Speaking of the cost of the liquor trade the Tribune says:

It costs every year more than our •whole civil service, our army, otir navy, our congress, including the riverand hJirbor and the pension bills, our wasteful local governments, and all national, state, conntv, and local debts, besides all t^e schools in the country. In fact, this nation pays more for liquor than for everjr function of every kind of government.

As these statements may seem surprising to those who have not looked into the matter, a few figures may be of service. A glass of beer costs the consumer 5 cents, and there are atleast twenty in the gallon, and 640 in the barrel, so that beer retails at about $32

a ^barrel while ale costs still more. The consumption of. beer and ale last year was'about 15,000,000 barrels cost' to consumers about $18,000,000.. The cheapest kind of liquor used, ordinary whisky, is rarely sold at 5 cents, and averages at least 7 cents a drink at half a gill to the "born this makes $4.48- per gallon. The consumption Uist-year was about .70,000,000 gallons cost to consumers about $313,000,000. Adding wines,,-there is certainly spent for drink moro than §800,000,000, and the entire sum raised by taxes of all kinds, national, state5 county, city, town and school district, is stated on authority of the census bureau to be not more than about §700,000,000. •i.'

'A Qnoon's Lovers.

Queen Victoria was exceedingly annoyed at the beginning of'her reign by tho attentions of gentlemen cranks who thought themselves in love with her, and in som« cases pretended that she .gave them encouraging glances. One used to assist the workmen at Kensington in order to see the queen, and his phaeton was kept -in readiness to follow her when she went out. On one occasion when the queen alighted to take a walk, he sprang outand came forward. The duchess of Kent- sent a page to request that he should drive off and not annoy the queen. He refused. They liaa to re-enter the carriage, and lie followed in his.

Superceding Shorthand. --v

The art of shorthand is, it appears, to be superceded by one of the queerest inventions on record. The revolution is to be effected by means of a machine called a "glossograph," consisting of six levers, forming a sort of cage, each communicating with a tracing pencil. The use to be made of the "glossograph" is rather curious. While the orator or lecturer is -holding forth, Hie reporter is to repeat the words of the speaker with his tongue in the cage. Thus the quickest conversation, some London journals tell us, may be taken down with ease. Th.e ludicrous aspect which this. new invention as sumes, may be an obstacle to its adoption.

Mrs. Mariso is a voir hafidsome ana petite Cnimdionne. She comes oi a good family and is a very respectable lady. 1 lor home is at Montreal and in that citv sho was met some time Hineo by Sim. Beauchamp, the notorious Chicago procuress. This woman represented herself to Mrs. Mariso as a dressmaker doing a good business, and after several interviews induced lior victim to como to Chicago to work at dressmaking. Sho was brought to tho house on State street kept by Mrs. lkuuichainp, and was not long left in ignorance of the fate in store for her. iVlmost crar.cd, the Imly made an attempt to oscapo, but her plan was discovered and she was forcibly detained a prisoner In the house. Later she succeeded In attracting the attention of some of tho neighbors, and tho police were notified. A dcscont was at once made upon tho ranchoand tlie prisoner liberated. Mrs. Mariso told a most pitiful story to her rescuers. She has an aged mother and threo children at home in Montreal, entirely dependent upon her for support. The trials she has undergone and her narrow escape from a dreadful fate have affected her mind, and she is almost insane. Her persecutors will be rigorously punished. Tho utmost excitement prevails over the case.
