Hsirav Waeo Beeciier declares that if the Democrats pledge themtelves in earnest to revenue reform, and the Republicans oppose it, he will ▼ »te tho Democratic ticket next vear. A Cleveland special says that Mr. Payne, tho new Ohio Senator, is not interested in the Standard Oil Company ; does not owp a dollar of its a Sock, and nevefsijlid. Somebody has evidently been lying about the old man. Sr* is estimated that within a few y ears the grape crop of California alone will bo worth more to the State than the mines as worked. Even now the agricultural product of the State is over 1100,000,000, while one b ranch of agriculture, the fruit product, now almost equals the gold jiield._ The comet of 1812, rhich has returned fora second visit, iis now at its nearest point to the sun, and consequently at its brightest to the human eye. By putting on vour overcoat; and car-mulls and going ont at o’clock in-the evening, armed with a common pair of opera glasses, you cau see it, tail and all, in the western sty, reaching up dircctlv to the zenith for a distance of five degrees. Tin: New York Tribune, speaking of the offer of tho Northern Pacific to pay John Sherman $25,000 a year to ..art as President of the road remarks: “The wonder is that any body expected him to leave the Senate, where he is of great public service, for the salary that an*- corporation. ecwtoAfer.’L John Sherman can do better than to accept a salary of $25,000 a year. The probabilities are that his votes during the present session ol: Congress will net him ten times that amount. The experts engaged 4i» investigating the county records made a partial report October 27th, more than three months ago. Since that time they have beeu employed on the first instalment of the tax duplicate of 1878, and are not, near through with it yet. If they continue at the present rate af speed we are afraid Cap*. Stilwell can raise and dispose of more than one crop before they complete their work, arid tiid tax-pay-era of Pike county will be out eoveral more thousand dollars. lfvEN Pennsylvania has aomo newspapers that are not-tobe hoodwinked, but expose the injury and injustice of

Ho# Wm. S. Ho mti ‘rora the Fourth Dii watch-dog of the treasury,"is i crat ttae party is proud of. tie recently offered a resolution which paste :ith$ House restoring 100,000,000 acres ol public lands tc the public domain. These lands arc worth all the way from $5 to $20 an acre; consequently if they a-c returned to the public domain they will be worth to the government from 1500,000,000 to $2,001),000,000. In other wo:rds, a Democratic House restores property to the Government worth $2,000,000,000. Foi.ger, Arthur’s Secretary of the Treasury, is the man who accepted a nomination for Governor of New York which he knew was obtained by forgery. Honest Republicans were indignant at such an exhibition of perfidy, and refused to vote for Folger. Hence the' cry of “Folger and forgery.” So much is cold, cruel history which no one dare dispute. Now for an exhibition Of Republicanism in high places. This man Folger, who was 60 base, so corrupt, as tc accept a nomination procured by forgery, lias control of the finances of the Republic. This fact establishes another fact, that the Republican part y does not care a fig whether a high official is an honest, upright man or a rascal.

M it. Pkele, of the Bureau of Statistics, has spent some time in preparing an interesting table relative to the various church denominations of our state, wherein it shows that the number of church organizations are 4,088; number of edifices, 3,737; total incmherohip, 458,115; number of persons admitted during tbs year, 30,597; value of church property, $12,555,986; salaries paid ministers, $1,037,337; other church expenses, $336,792; charitable contributions, $223,359; number of Sunday school teachers, 22.C47; number of Sunday “school pupils, 222,947; average attendance on public worship, 357,990 The membership of the leading churches is as.follows: Methodist, 113,065; Catholic, 86,378; Presbyterian. 40,344; Baptist, 37,113; Christian, 23,732; Lutheran, 26,4S5; United Brethren, 19,431; Quakers, 16,823. Tlie Republican party is held together by thq concur* power of public plunder. 31ie enormous army of Federal office-holder*; spreading through all the States, ts ready to do battle for its broad at every presidential election. Stalwarts and lialf-brecds struggle fiercely in a nominating eonrenlion. Hut when a nomination is mado they unite. Better tJPp the spoils m any Republican hands than hand them over to Democrats. The Stalwarts fought for Garfield as stoutly as they would hare done battle for Grant Although cheated in the end, they would do the same thing uext year1. There are large numbers of free trailers and revenue reformers in the Republican ranks Yet uhould the tariff question be made the issue in the presidential contest neat year they woul^p support the most violent Republican protectionist against the most conservative Democratic revenue reformer. fc. Let this simple fact be remembered. The Republican party hangs together. There are f iction fights for spoils, but wheu a contest involves the retention of power all minor questions are held subordinat e to that considcration.— fXew -¥i»rl» TVnjfcl—- -~a»- — This is utter nonsense. Tho Republican party, as constituted in 1880, contained by far a larger number of independent"voters than did the Democratic party. The TribuneSewn, as one annjmifthousauds of independent Republicans, resents the imputation of the World. It was the independent Republican voters who gave Gov. Cleveland a majority of 200,000. It was they who elected Gov. Pattison. It was they who elected Gov. Hoadly in Republican Ohio. It was they who elected many members of the large Democratic majority in Congress. The independent Republican voters should be treated with kindness and consideration? and not with contempt. We would call the attention of the World and all other Democrats who believe as it does to th3 fact that never until now has the National Democratic party offered any substantial inducement to independent Republicans to vote the Democratic ticket. Heretofore tho Republican party has been the progressive party anjUMttKQoerj ' on ubh

AN INTERVIEW IN WIIICII THE TAXPA YERS OF THE COUNTY JIA YE AX INTERS/ T TO THE AMOUNT OE EIGHTEEN DOLLARS PER DAY

On learning that Captain W. T. Stilwell, who was in the employ of ex-Trcasurer Richardson, examining the county records, would leave for home on Wednesday morning, a. reporter of the Democrat was sent to interview him touching the probable outcome of the investigation business ia this county. The reporter found him, and after the usual exchange ol courtesies, c rew forth pencil and paper and the following conversation Vas held: t Eep*-I understand. Captain, that you are here in the employ of exTreasnrer Iiichardsou, investigating the books kept by him while treasurer of this county ? Captain—Yes, sir; that is my business here. Rep.—I am informed that you bring to your aid in such work a very i ipe experience. Capt.—Thanks for the compliment, the people must judge whether I deserve it or not. I have tried to qualify myself for the work and have had considerable experience in righting up records in several counties in this State. Rep.—Have you seen the report which was made, and examined the work done by the ex (sens who are in the employ of the'cohnty ? Capt.—Yes, sir ; I have looked over their work aud have carefully read their report. Rep.—Have you made any exam ina--tion of the records outside of their | Work aud report ? Capt.—Yes, sir. Rep.—Are you at- liberty to state wlliat discoveries you have made, if any? Capt.—(With a smile.) You newspaper men are too inquisitive. I will 'sav’this; Mr. Richardson is m firstnrtfhyTTCJrtTh and spirits “tnd I (have discovered while boarding With him at Dr. Brown’s, that he ate hearty and slept well. Rep.—Theu he does not conduct ; IJmseif as one over whose head the hosts of a storm are gathering. Capt.—(With a hearty laugh). You i nsist on having me bet ray confidence. As the doctors would put it I, have diagno.scd ins case and you must be your own judge for the rest of it. Rep.—But Captain, I understand that you leave for home to-morrow. Have you concluded your investigation ? Capt.—No sir, I have not, but I find It necessary to go home aud stay there until such time as 1 can' have access to all of the records without interfering with the gentlemen who are now nt work on the same in the employ of the county. Rep.—In vonr opinion what time will elapse before they will have done

with the rccoras t Capt.—Judging from which represen th,oir rgDOrtj, v have __indicates Wliat they hare vet-do do, I am persuaded that it; witTrequire considerable time. Ecp.—Will you state what leads yon to suppose that a considerable length of time will go by before theii investigation is concluded ? Capt.—Well, they arc journalizing the duplicates, also the unpaid second instalments and delinquencies! foi r, and they have not yet comthe first instalment on" the ducate of 1878. Eep.—What have they yet to do? Capt.—Taking it for granted that vey will comply with the deelaraons made in their report in October, 1*183, they have yet to complete the journalization of the first instalment of the duplicate ef 1878, and the unpaid second Instalment and delinquencies fpr the Same year; also the duplicates for Js5wincluding tLc unpaid second instalment and delinquencies for that year ; also the general account fine the year 1879. They also propose to make an examination oi the ‘gentiie records e*f the school funds of county. ■ Rep.—What do yon mean by eral account for. the year 1879 ?” Capt.—l mean all of the receipts and disbursements lor that year. Rep.—What progress have tlie exu'ts made sinew they made thclir report in October of last year ? pt.—They have been sit. work on rst instalment on thex duplicate 73, and have nc ).—When they ’" * " rill I yet completed it.

ingly answered, that he was going home with the impression that he would have ample time to raise and make disposition of another crop ’ere the experts Bay quit. Captain Stilwell is an expert of no mean ability, is two investigations heretofore' made by him in this county will testify. In addition to this he sustains an unsullied reputation as a christiaii gentleman, and those Who know him best will rely most on-what he says. As will he seen from his answers, he feels a delicacy in expressing his opiu;iou$ of the trne inwardness of this eighteen dollar a day scheme, by which two individuals are being enriched out of the county’s money, with no prospect of any return for the labor so dearly purchased. -Months have gone by, dollars by the thousand of the people’s money, have gone down into the vest pockets of the experts since the work-was begun and the end is not yet. Nay, we are assured that other months will, sweep on and other thousands find their way into a couple of jackets before the public wakes up to realize that they have been done for.

Not only are the workingmen beginning to realize the fatal sophistry of seeking benefit through the high wages of protection, but the capitalists who are at the back of great manufacturing interests have come to understand what ruinous folly this system means, judged from their own point of view. The indications of these facts are found in the changing sentiment on the tariff question all over the country, and most especially in the heart of protected New England, and they show, conclusively, that the time is most opportune for a great national contest on this issne. Fbox the outcry of the organ ot the Beesemer steel manufacturers its patrons are evidently alarmed by a report that the producers of pig jron are forming a gigantic “pool” so ss to limit production and maintain prices. This would be only an imitation of their own tactics, which they borrowed from an s nthracite coal combination. The Bessemer steel monopolists have ordered works in their pool to stop production for a certain length of time, and have paid the owners the same profits t hat they would have earned by running full time. This was an excellent arrangement &» the manufacturers, but where did thedjtfBrests of the workiegmen come in? The workingmen were turned out of employment to earn a living in some unaccustomed occupation, and the owners were enjoying the profits of the pool while their works were idle. It is assarted that the aim of the protectionist system is to give workingmen constant employment at good wages. But how does tile pooling method of the beneficiaries of protection square with ti eir pretense of solicitude for the interests of vrorkingmen? The device is a swindle alike npou consumers and workingmen. It keeps op prices against the former by checking the production of the latter But this is only one of the variegated fruits tiiat hang on the protectionism tree.—[Thiladclphia Reconi. Workingmen arc finding out that protection does not protect them. They find that protection leads to over-prod u^oti, because it closet the markets ofwb world to their surplus products, and when stagnation comes they are the first to suffer. In the first place wages go down, and in the second place, work ceases and; they are-thrown into idleness to 'take the chances, and they tind also, with reduced wages or no wages at alii that the cost of living is maintained. As a consequence wo have “labor troubles” and strikes, with threatened panics and general disaster. Such fa the outcome of a high tariff' tax. The Democratic party is charged with the duty of bringing about a reform.

A Change in Tax Law. [Liennier Banner.] The laws of 1883, page 97, provide that hereafter sales for taxes shall take place on the second Monday in February instead of on the First Monday in March. At the next sale for taxes, on the second Monday in February, all real estate which has keeii returned delinquent or remained unsold for want of bidders for three years or more prior to March 28th, 1881, must be sold separately from other delinquent property to Jlie highest-JtfffraTuTto tSisifT "liy section 2 of the act of March 6,1883, page 125 of the acts of 1883, the city treasurer of each city and the several county auditors, are'required to advertise such lands separately from all other lands, and the advertisement must specify that they have remaiued delinquent for three" years prior to MJarch 26th, 188-1. This law is mandatory, and treasurers will be compelled to advertise and sell all such delinquent lands at the next sale for taxes whether delinquent tax-pay-ers like it or not. The privilege of compromising back taxes, which have . been delinquent for three years or more continuously, has been granted by the •general assembly of 1883, to the people, l ut the privilege will expire On the first day of April, 1884 Up to that day any parly whoso lands or lots are delinquent for three years or more can go to the city or county treasurer and get a receipt in full, clear of any penalty, costs and charge except the tax, with 6 percent, interest. thereon fror.i the day each installment becomes due. Those who want to save heavy penalties and costs, have only three months left in which to take advantage of the privilege. Before the 31st day of December, 1884, and each year thereafter, the county auditor must furnish lists of all land and. lots which have remained unsold for three years after March 29, 1881, to the prosecuting attorney, and lie will bring suit in the circuit court to enforce the lien of the State and county by a judicial sale of land, and cities and towps-yill enforce their to the suit.

Where the Fire is Out. Magic No More a Mystery—Seen Froi 1 Acroee the World. “Haronu of Aleppo,” said Sir Philip Derrai. “had mastered every secret In nature which tfc e nobler magic seek, to fathom. He discovered that the true art of healing is to assist Nature I o throw off the disease—to summon, as it wen, the whole system to eject the enemy that hie fastened on a part. His processes all include d the revigo ration of the principles of life.” In this thcEastern sage merely anticipated tie practice of the best physicians of to-day. Wh; it life itself is, nobody knew then—nobody knov s now. But we hate learned something of tl e reasons why the mysterious tide rises and. falls. Provided the great organs of the body are n >t irreparably destroyed, medical ecience can always relieve, and often save. Yet no repntab le physician now adheres to the barbarous ai d stupid processes of depletion, such as bleeding, by which it was attempted to cure disease by reducing the patient’s ability to resist it. Now- »- days we do not tear down jlieYort to help tie garrison—we strengthen it. In this intelligent and txsueflcient work. It is eOi-ceded that Porker’s Tonic leads all other medicines. A. an invigorant it acts iinmediatej ly and powerfully upon the circulation and the orgaus of digestion, thus giving Nature the lasistance she calls for. It follows that all ailments of the stomach, kidneys and liver are at once releived or cured! No other preparation embodies the same qualities or produces similar results. It is delicious to use, and the best known anti-intoxicant. Price 50c and SI. Hiscox * Co., New York. OSCAR HA1IM0ND~ -:FH0 OGRAPHER:PETERSBURG, - - INDIANA.
