Supervising Architect Hill will resign and'go into other business. Belknap did the same.’ ’ ' The friends of young Nutt, who killed Dukes, have secured the Hon. Dan Voorliecs, of this State, to defend the vouug man. Ho will be cleared. The only just way of meeting the problem of surplus revenue is to reduce the taxation that is so burdensome on the greatest number of people. .■gHgBM-B* Terre Haute claims to make more flour than any other city in the State The mills of that city consume over 2,500,000 bushels of wfieat, and turn out 500,000 barrels of flour annually The lendancy in England not verilong ago was to keep American cattle from Its markets. Now the cattle disease is spreading so rapidly there that the demand is growing for American beef._ The New York Heal Estate Ilcreld, , which is the best authority upon matters relating to the building trades, says that there will be more buildings, erected in the United States, tills year than in any other year in the history of the country.

The assessed valuation of Boston is InVc than live times that of Chicago. r\ One reason for this great disparity, remarks the Washington Post, is that Boston owns a good deal of Chicago, and the mortgages representing this debt arc assessed in the New, England metropolis._ Tiik Hamilton County, Ohio, Dem- . crats have managed to get things so mixed up that the prospect of a Democratic victory in that County is becoming beautifully less every day. I The course of the Cincinnati Enquirer cannot bo explained upon any theory of loyalitv to the parjj-. Under section 1318 of the Revised Statutes of 1881 all lodges, churches and kindred organizations are required to give at least ten days notice by advertisement in a newspaper of the election of trustees. Trustees elected without such notice having been giv- . eu cannot legally hold their offices. And now they say that it isn’t cholera in Egypt after all, but something else. We shall not go to Egypt however, in spite of this assertion. We would rather be here aud run this one-horse paper than to be in Egypt and own the water-works that run the river Nile. There’s nothing like being contented. The grand prohibition council will hold its fourth annual meeting in the Y. M. C. A. hall in the city of Indianai>olis, on Tuesday, Sept!, 25th, 1883, commencing at 1:30 o’clock, p. m., sharp. The time has been fixed during the State Fair, so that cheap railroad rates can be secured by those who may desire to attend. An exchange pertinently remarks that men who are advertised in their papers are the men who transact the business of the town. You can pick tip a paper and in five minutes tell whodoes the buying and selling and keep alive the interests of the place.' A newspaper invariably reflects the worth, enterprise and intelligence of the community in which it is published. (

Oi;b platform is: Affordample protection to home industries: admit the necessaries of life as near duty-free as may be consistent with the demands of the government for necessary expenses; load the tariff on the luxuries stud non-essentials of life such as liquors, tobaccos, cosmetics, perfumes, silks, satins, diamonds, etc., and a tar ill'plank embodying these sentiments will be engrafted hi the acxtUatioual Democratic platform, and you will please remember this prophecy. - '• ! 9R5SSS-SSS9 ' ’ There will bo no hesitation among Democrats to hold the ifepublieun party responsible for the great scandals and shame brought on the country by the methods pursued by the Dorseys, Bradys and their associates in the campaign of 1880. They used the Treasury of the country to corrupt the voters. They secured the aid of rich men by promising them the profits of the management of he Treasury nnd the public debt. They took all the money they required to effect their purpose. How much more they would have taken if they had deemed the exigency required it is only a matter of conjecture. No other party under this Government have -ever ventured to do what the Republican campaign leaders, with the approval, and indeed at the suggestion and instance, of the nominees for the Presidency and vice-Presld ucv, did in 1880. The only motives they had or defence to offor for the audacious struggle for success titan made were love of power ami greed of the emoluments of offlee. The question now for the people is, whether it is safe, self-respecting ami patriotic to permit thoee who have grown thus -•— continue where t »oy trusts and the public

Godey's Lady’s Book for October ! :omes to us as the brightest and best that has ever appeared of this Magazine. It* steel frontispiece,“Our Daisy,” is a gem, and its fashion plates colored by the French process, are excellent in design and execution, while its full size ent paper pattern of a fall mantle, and its colored work designs, are all that the ladies could desire. It is rich besides in fashion cuts and dcj scriptions, and the stories by Christian Hied, Emily Lennox, and K* M. Ilaventare above the average magazine literature. The offer to forward a quarter reduced size copy of the magazine to all who apply to the polishers for it, will cause the book to find its way to many homes that have not seen it for years. It certainly' merits ! its claim; viz., the oldest, brightest, and cheapest—being only $2.00 ppr year. The campaign in Ohio seems to have become a fight between Pendleton and McLean, of the Enquirer. Yet since the friends of both these men seem to be hard at work for the State ticket, it is hoped that their fight will only effect the result in Hamilton county; but so far as this county is concerned the result of the quarrel will probably give the county offices to the Republicans. The Euquircr has loug ceased to be a journal devoted to party principal, but seems to be managed 'by a monied corporation as unscrupulous as Jay Gonld. It lias permitted the worst kind of sensational lies to be circulated through its columns against prominent Democrats and appears willing to jeopardize the success of the party for the sale of a few papers. But the Enquirer in its avarice is over-stepping itself. The long line of sturdy Democrats who have for so long stood up and supported this paper, will gradually fall back to other journals, more reliable and trusty. The Enquirer has gone up to the top, and abuses those who liaVe held the ladder for it. They are lettiug go now radidlv.

Peterson’s Magazine for October comes to us in advance of all others, and more beautiful than ever. The principal steel-engraving. ' “An Ignominious Flight,” is after one of the most popular pictures of the last Paris Salon, and is full of humor and graphic truth. There are two sheets of colored patterns, with eight different designs: alone Avft th the price of the number. The colored steel fashionplate is of rare loveliness: “Peterson” is now the only magazine that gives these steel fashion-plates, colored by hand: all the other magazines give mere lithographs. Then there are some fifty wood-cuts, illustrating fashions, and work-table patterns of every kind. In the literary contents we find the same originality and merit that long ago placed “Peterson” at the head of the ladies’ magazines That charming novelet and love-story “A Fifth Avenue Romance,” is finished, and a new and thrilling one, “The Mystery of the Brocken,” began. There is also a racy story, beautifully illustrated, “Philosophy in the Ad-/, irondacks” Mrs. Ann S. Stephens?, Frank Leo Benedict, etc., etc., make up the other contributors. Without question, “Peterson” is, as it claims, the cheapest as well as the best of the ladies’ books. Its prices to’ clubs, especially, are' unprecedentedly low. Specimens are sent gratis to those wishing to get up clubs. Address Chas. J. Peterson, 306 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Where it Hurts. The following brief, but clear and incisive, statement of facts is from the pen of Tom Hubbard, editor of the Bcllefountainc Examiner, a live Democratic journal published in a hotbed of Republican stupidity. Mr. Hubbard hits the nail squarely on the head. The farmer is sacrificed in this legalized swindle called a protective tariff, and no one cares. He, in the eye of the protectionist, is a beast of burden, possessed of no rights the monopolists are called on to consider. Some more work like the following will soon fell: “Do the farmers of Logan County know that if tho democratic measure ol revenue reform were now a law, their wheat would not be less than $1 50, and perhaps *2, a bushel? “This because under the present system, that, for twenty years, has enriched the few at the expense of the many, the farmer buys under the so called protection and sella under free trade “Every interest in the United States is protected against European pauper labor except that of agriculture, aud yet the agricultural mtcrest Is not only of more value, a hundred to one, than all the others combined, but It is the underlying foundation of property of all. “A difference ten cents in the bushel of wheat gives ns good times or hard times. Let wheat advance ten cents, and business booms, ^et wheat drop ten cents, and hard times are upon ns. ' » *

“Yot the tanner snffors more than pauper labor, m competition with him, than any other internet. The harm laborer fn the wheatgvowing region of Hussia, the richest m tho world, works for eighteen dollars a yoar and a goatskin coat. The Egyptian farm laborer is a slave. Tho wheat growers ot England, Franco and Germany work for a bare subsistence. “Our surplus of wheat, com, bacon, beef, In a word, all a farm produces to sell, goes to Europe for a market, and, there, encounters this so much talked of paupor labor, and yet those who call themselves protectionists not only refuse the farmor protection, but they enhance the price of all he has te purchase. “Through tbig system of protection he is forced to pay twice the value ot all he has to boy, from the cradle he Is bora into to thecolbi in which he is buried. Protection carries np the price of iron, from a horseshoe nail to a reaper in all its shapes, aa necessary to farm life; it augments the value of calico and cloth, blankets —in a word, all that he or his family wears; It makes him pay two prices for the door that shuts out the raid and the glass that lets in the light, the shingles or slate of Ids roof, tho tin ot his kitchen—In a word, all that be bays Is rendered enormously dear under protection, whiles all he sells is under free trade, thatleaveshim' to suffer from the competition of pauper labor. “And this is done by fellows who laugh at the farmer and say that it is safe thus to rob him because he is fo stupid and Ignorant he eannot understand. “Is this so, farmers ot I-og«n County? Are you really such-asses that these fellows can ride you, under whip, booted and spurred, to your own ruin? “We tell you, th*t with revenue reform your wheat will fetch at least |1 50 a bushel. Try it —vote the democratic ticket, and if what we tell yon and all Intelligent men, who have studied the svIOsct, see, does not come true, whv go back to your republican protection.” A dispatch from Hong Kong, tho 14thx states that tho French and tho Black Flags have had an eight honr conflitft, resulting In great destruction of human life.

An Intereating letter from Vincennes. Vincennes, Sept. 18,1883. Editor Democrat : As Vincennes is a neighboring town of Petersb urg, the readers of tile Democrat wo uld not object to an occasional letter fl*om this city, it is supposed. Hardly a week passes but we have a local sensation. This time it is the sudden departure for unknown lands of Mr. J„ C. Bedell, a young grain dealer of this city, whose escapade took us all by surprise. Although you have been informed of the affair,’we might relate that he left several behind to whom he is indebted individually in several bundled dollars, having, under false pretouses, secured about $5,000 from our several millers ,for the purpose of purchasing wheat at the different stations on the railroads for these mills. This ho notoriously did, besides burrowing small sums of money—$25 to $50, say. But he has gone, leaying behind his father’s family, Avhose main support he was. Bedell’s bed room set was discovered at the O. & M. freight depot a few days ago, and was taken possession of by his victims, and that will be about all they will realize. Bedell was a single man, full of business and energy, active and smart—a little too smart. Of course his relatives are greatly mortified at Ills actions. There has been submitted to our capitalists a proposition from Mr. S. A. Cunningham, of Madison, Ind., to rebuild the starch works here, if certain assistance is given himj which matter lias been taken in hand by our Board of Trade. The works will be guaranteed to grind 1,200 bushels of corn per day. It is the general opinion that the enterprise will be put through, and if .so there will boa market in this city for all the corn that can be secured for miles and miles distant- When we get the Vincennes. & Ohio River railroad, the fitrmers of Pike and Dubois counties will have easy and cheap facilities to dispose of their surplus crops. — 11 has been given out that the repair shops at Pana; Ills., and Cochran and Seymour, Ind., of the O. & M. railroad, are to be consolidated in this city. This will increase our population immensely and the cash disbursements here will be from $60,000 to $70,000 per month. Washington has been hankering after the removal of the shops to that place, but the wish, it seems, will be in vain. There is a spirit of enterprise here among a number of our go-ahead citizens, that means to move things right ahead, in spite of the lethargy and indiflerenee of those who can assist greatly, if they w'ould, toward making Vincennes a very large manufacturing city.

It is with much pride that our citizens learn that the good people of Petersburg are agalu rising from the ashes, Piioenix-like, in the rebuilding of modern and handsome business houses and residences on the burned district. Such a spirit will do much toward centering the eye of the public upon your thrifty little city and fine growing county. liusiuess in this place promises well for this season, and as a pointer to this, our merchants have and are receiving he^vy stocks; besides, the farmers^ gei*rally speaking, are pretty fullhanded, in the yield of grain, a good supply of cattle and other ready merchantable products. In this, our city >is a great railroad center, thus affording an outlet not enjoyed by many places. Your correspondent would remind the citizens of voift county and others Of our approachiug agricultural and -mechanical fair, which will commence on the 8th of October. Mr. Gerard Reiter, secretary of the association/is the most active man we have ever known in the position lie so ably fills. One blessing our people generally enjoy at present, is good health, notwithstanding the season of the year which produces malaria on every hand. This good fortune is supposed to result from the better drainage of the low, flat lands and ponds in this vicinity. Occasional. In the Pilot House. “Yes, sir; this kind of work obliges a man to keep sober as a judge. Of all ineu in the world, steamboat pilots and railroad engineers should' let liquor alone. For on their clearness of sight ant^ coolness of he$d depends the safety of life and property.” Keeping Ids hand on the wheel as ho said this, Mr. A. llrockmap, o! So. 29?4 Silver street, Chicago, added: “Of course, some of ’em drink; but the sober ones have the best positions and the best pay. Yes. the work and exposure sometimes tel It! ou ns; but for my part, I find Parker’s Ionic to be all the invigorant 1 need. I’ve got a bottle aboard here nour; never go on a trip without it. \V hen I haven’t any appetite, or am fh any way out of sorts, it sets me up in no time. If drinking men would use the Tonic, it would help ’em to break ofl*. (No, that isn’t a lighthouse; it’s a star, low down near the water.) As I wfts saying, the Tonic is new lire bottletl up. You: see that flag-stafl? Well, with a bottle of Parker’s Tonic in the locker I can keep malaria as far from me as that, all the time Mv wife has used it for three years for summer complaints and collie, and as an invigorant, wheu she’» tiled out from overwork. she sa vs the Ton - ic hi a daisy. Good-bye! Don’t break your neck going below.” •This preparation, which has been known as Parkerrs Ginger Touie, will hereafter l>e called simply Parker's Tomc. This change has been rendered necessary by substitutes imposed ui»on their customers by unprincipled dealers under the name of ginger.and as ginger is an unimportant flavoring Ingredient, we drop the misleading word. There is no change, however, in the preparation itself, and all bottles remaining in the hands of dealers, wrapped under the name of Parker's Ginger Tonic contain the genuine medicine if the fao-simile signature of Hiscox & Co. is at the bottom of the outside wrapper.
