The secret of true happiness is a contented = mind. It is a continual feast. “G. O. P.” says an Omaha paper means “gone ont of power.” Good enough. The Seymour Business wants an anti-tramps society organized: Let the good work go on.

‘‘Every man u the architect of his ' own fortune,” but the plans and specifications are so often worthless. “Times are hard,” but after the winter is over we think good times will come with the spring time. Some alliterative genius has discovered that Blaine was a “magnificent, magnetic and meandering” candidate. _ After his partisan speech at Augusta, Me., Blaine folded his tent like the Arab and silently stole away. It is well. ' __ The Martin County Democrat came to us last week a full sheet, new dress and being printed upou a new “Hoe” was as bright as a dollar fresh from the mint. The News and Press are getting ready for a good fight. The Nows seems to have the advantage in the preliminary skirmishes. Let the good work go on. Ax Ohio coachmau is under arrest for bigamy. We might ask whither are these coachman drifting, but then it ft plain that this John is cn route for the pen. The editor of the Press is rattled. The “rebels” and “copper-heads” are giving him serious trouble. Apply a poultice to bis wounded feelings and he will recover. Having wou the victory fairly against such terrible odds, if the Dem- _ -oci ats can not and do not hold it for nuiny years the party ought to retire forever from politics. The next President will have the appointment of four justices of the Unjtod States supreme court, two major generals and six brigadier generals of the regular army. Cleveland has about 100,000 majority of the popular vote of the United States, according to the latest estimates. He ga ned 200,000 votes in the North over the Hancock vote in 1880. The Agent's ileraid, of Philadelphia, is doing good work in exposing swindlers and frauds. Mr. L. Lum Smith, the editor, handles the tricksters without gloves. Write to him. —.hi i i ——— s The Democratic goose may hang bigli says the Kansas City Times Journal, but the carver will experience some difficulty in making it go round with satisfaction to ail parties. “Some people,” says the Boston Herald (Ind.) “think that it was not lium Romanism and Rebellion, but Blaine, Ball and Blackguardism, which defeated the Republican party.” The Seymour Democrat says that the growing wheat along the line of the railroad betwecu Seymour and Yiuccnncs never looked better, or more promising at this season of the year. _

Illinois will send a Democratic U. S. Senator to Washington to succeed Logan, the man who ran for vice president on the ticket with a fellow from Kentucky or Pennsylvania —or somewhere some time ago. Chas. Voorhkks, the son of our Senator and Democratic candidate for Congress In Washington Territory Delected by a majority of 146. Father and son in. Congress—the one a Senator and the other a congressman—is a remarkable occurrence. The following from the New York Tribune (Republican) D going the rounds of the press. “We profoundly regret the result; but it is the duty of every good citizens to accept it, and to give to the President elect the respect the office demands.” Bro. Beloi no, of the Daviess County Democrat, D mentioned for the position of Postmaster at Washington, and Bro. Purcell for a like position at Vinccnucs. According to the eternal fitness of things these gentlemen should be appointed If they would accept the offices. It is said that when Hon. Samuel J. Tildcn stepped away from the bal-let-box on election day, after voting a straight Democratic ticket, a silverlooked Jeffersonian " Democrat approached him and remarked, “I am sorry we can’t vote for the old ticket arid wholly right the wrong of 76.” “Vote for Cleveland and Hendricks, and yon will please me Ju3t as well,* ua- Tildcn’s quick reply.

Peace reigns anil the government at Washington will live—from the fourth of March next for many years under a Democratic administration. The following from the Vincennes Sun looks like libel: ^ the Petersburg Press has mat visited this office tor several weeks, aud the inference is that it has climbed to the glorious hereafter. We lament its demise, for in no other paper did locals stolen from the Sun appear to such advantage. Ocb formers have all their corn in the graincries, and many will wait for a better price next spring and sum* mer. The outlook is not so gloomy as many predict. The price of the farmer’s product will he better, at least indications arc not unfavorable to that end. A Democratic Congress and a Democratic administration will prevent a great surplus. In due time we will have a tariff for revenue only. The money will be left in the pockets of the people where it properly belongs. There will be no idle millions locked up in the treasury—it will be in the channels of trade. Rctiierfori> B. Haves will be remembered by most of our people. He is the gentlemen who drew the salary of President Tilden, and afterwards returned to Ohio and started a hennery. It now comes to light that the initial “B”in Mr. Hayes’ name “stands for" Burch aril, and that the President dejure i6 =* cousin of the eminent divine. This settles it.

Host. Chas. L. Jewett, of New Albany, secuis to Lave the inside track in the speakership race. Charley is a hustler from llustlervillc, but will have to do some good work to win over such a string as Williams, of Knox; Taylor, of Daviess; Gooding of Hancock; McMullen, of Dearborn, who arc all favorites in the race. It looks as though the Democrats in the near future will have a majoriin the United States Senate. There are now 40 Republicans and 36 Democrats. Riddleberger, of Virginia, is about to drop baek into his old faith, and that will make the score 39 Republicans aud 37 Democrats. Illinois will scad a Democrat in Logan’s place so that will make the Seuate a tie 38 votes each, with Hendricks to handle the balance of power. New York, too, will probably send a compromise member, lion. Roscoe Conkling. Let the good work go on. The friends and acquaintances of the Rev. Burchard of “Rum, Romanism and Rebellion” fame, are getting nearer. The following is taken from the Washington Advertiser: “Dr. S. W. Pock, of this city, is well acquainted with Rev. l)r. Burchard of three R fame, having been a boy companion of the reverend gentleman, in New York State. He represents T»i\ Burchard as being a man of great brains, and liberal to a fault. He thinks Dr. Burchard disfigured Blaine’s chances for election, but rather looks upon it as a providential occurrence.” Col. Morrison’s district was fixed up iu 1880 to beat him, the Republican majority being 345.. In 1882 he got his first whack at the gerrymander and knocked it higher than Gilroy's kite, his majority being 2,345. The Republicans were dumbfounded, but they resolved to head him off this yeai by nomination a rich monopolist and covering the district all over with soap. Imagine their feelings when they found his majority to bo even larger than before. If the were dumbfounded in’82 by his2,345, they were simply paralyzed in ’84 by his 8,558, and they have yielded at last to the conviction that Col. Morrison is* invincible. His triumph plight to eucourage the tariff reform Democrats to press forward with their measures of relief. 1 It is appropriate to hear what Southern men have to say regarding the south aud Cleveland’s administration, and we give the subjoined extract from a speech at New York lasf Friday by Gen. John B. Gordon, of Georgia, an cx-Senator from that State, and a representative Southern Democrat: . “To that large aud better class of Bepublicans, to the millions ol’ patriots in the Republican party who have been misled by their lenders, and who are tilled with houest doubts as to wbat the Democratic party will do with Its victory, we are ready to answer: We aire ready to pledge good faith of American citizens that, under the administration of President Cleveland, no rash or revolutionari-legislation will be attempted; no interference with the best interests of American industries or American labor will be permitted; no useless expenditure of public money will tie tolerated, but fidelity to the constitution aud the laws, fidelity to tho public erediit, fidelity to the constitution and the laws, fidelity to the pledges of the nation to its brave soldiers and sailors, fidelity to every legitimate result of the war, fidelity to our pledges to the American people will mark the administration of President Cleveland and the men who elected him.”

Commenting ou Blaine’s scandulous Augusta serenade speech, iu which ho raised the scctioual issue aud sought by the wildest invectives to array the North against the South, The Philadelphia Times (Ind.) says: Stephen A. Douglas was the first Presidential candidate who took the stump for himself and led his owu battle. lie did it with nil of Blaine’s ; magnetism, eloquence, skill and auj daeity; but when he was defeated, he won the respect and eveu admiration ofthe country by manly submission; by gracefully congratulating his successful ^competitor, and by patriotic cooperation with Lineolu, first to calm the threatening sectional strife, aud next to sustain t he administration and the government when the dark cloud of civil war burst upon the nation. Mad Douglas proved that he was merely a' seeker of place and manly and patriotic only when it gratified his ambition, there would have been two notable instances of Presidential candidates vindicating their own defeat; but Douglas honored himself and left Blaine to stand | alone as the ono man who hastened to prove how justly lie was defeated for i the highest « ivi| trust of the world.

The President’s wives now living are Mrs. Polk at Nashville, Mrs. John Tvlcr at Richmond, Mrs. Grant in New Jersey, Mrs. Hayes in Fremont, and Mrs. Garfield. Of these the widows, Mrs. Polk, Mrs. Tyler and Mrs. Garfield, draw fpom the Government a pension of $5,000 a year each. The New York Tribune epistolizes i St John as follows: “To Oue Mr. St. John—Dear Sir: It is the general opinion that yon ami vonr friends have set the cause of temperance back half a ceutnry. If the reflection is pleasant you arc welcome to it.” The Chicago News beats this iu the following: “To Mr. Blaine-Dear Sir: It is the general opinion that by dodging the issue of prohibition in your town, allowing your ambition to force yon npon the Republican party as its candidate, you have set back that grand old party for twenty-four years if you haven’t killed it altogether.” Tins is the number of offices the President can giveaway, as figured by Our accomplished statistical brother Steve Bolding: “There arc about 125,000offices, large and small, within the gift of the administration. Over 52,000 of these are postoffices, mostly below the grade of presidential appointments. There are 96,000 office holders subject to removal, mostly postmasters. Iu the three branches of the classified service, there arc about 14,000 places that can be filled by competive examination only uuder the civil service act. There aire 4,000 perrons in the railway mail service, and 4,000 in the internal revenue service outside of Washington City.”

Mr. Blaine, iu Lis incendiary serenade speech, wildly claimed every colored vote of the South as Republican. He knew better. As The Philadelphia Times (Ind.) says: Mr. Blaine knows that the colored voters of every Southern State ate, and lone; have been, largely divided between the the two parties. Nearly every colored voter who acquired property by industry, separates himself from those who are party ridden beasts of burden for theives and adventurers, and there is not a Southern State in which there are not more coloied men elected or appointed to publio office as Democrats, than there are colored men in office in all New England. They have more colored school teachers in South Carolina, employed and paid for by the Democratic State government, than there are in all the States of the North, from Maine to California; and Democratic Mississippi alone' fuyiishes, at the cost of the St ate, more collegiate education to colored men than Maine and Pennsylvania combined—the two States to which Mr. Blaine points as the model Republican commonwealths. Ex-Senator McDonalb is the man for Attorney-General or some other Cabinet position. This opinion is voiced by the people throughout the country, Republicans as well as Democrats. Every Democrat in Indiana would rejoice to see the “Old Romau” one of the advisers of Presideut-elect Cleveland. It would bo a. recognition of one of the soundest Democrats in the United States. The equal of any man and the peer of many is the exSenator of Indiana, llerc is an indorsement from a Republican paper: “If President-elect Cleveland is wise in his day and generation, lie will certainly give ex-Senator McDonald a seat in his cabinet. Indiana, is essential for future Democratic success. This may be denied, and the combined vote of Connecticut and New Jersey claimed instead. But every one knows that the two latter States are exceedingly doubtful Democratic quantities, while Indiana being more certain, is yet not so certain as to allow the assumption of chances or the cultivation of indifference. With Mr. McDonald in the cabinet, Indiana thus recognized by the administration and in control of a “department Voorhees in the senate by the voice of the people’s representatives; Hendricks at the head of the senate by the voice of the people of Iudiana and the country, t^o three great leaders of Indiana would be adequately recognized, and every predilection within the party satisfied. The Iudiana Democracy have their trinity ot leadership ; the next rank is so far below as to leave those three pre-eminent. It would be a political blunder not to satisfactorily adjust such a matter as this. Happily in the case of Mr. MeDonald political choice would run with merit. His ability, his unfliuching integrity, have impressed the country, and his promotion to a place of honor in the Cleveland administration would be recognized at large as a fitting thing. This advice is given out of that free good will we have for Mr. Cleveland’s success in the administration of public affairs, If he wauts any further counsel as to the make-up of the remainder of his cabinet, or the inauguration of any policy, it will be cheerfully furnished/

No More Deputy Marshals. Republicans arc exhibiting some curiosity to know what the Dcroo. crats will do when they come iuto power—what sort of policy they will adopt, what Republican measures they will undo and what ones they will leave alone. It is too early to gratify this natural curiosity; 'the victors themselves cannot at this time accurately defiue their policy in all matters. Dpt there is one Republican practice which, it is sate to say, will be abolished—the employment of deputy United States marshals to oversee the people's elections. It was distasteful to Democrats at the beginning, and the shameful use to which they were put in Ohio at the October election made it particularly replusive. The Democrats, if they were inclined to, might preserve the law on the statute book to be used hereafter to their advantage; such a turning of Republican weapons against their inveutors would have a certain retributive justice in it. But the Democracy is a party of principle, uot of retaliation. Its object is, not to punish its enemies, even with their own weapons, but togovern the country wisely, and allow tho people the very largest measure of personal and public liberty consistent with the public order. Tho deputy marshal system is a part of the Republican regime, and it will share the fate of the party that invented it.

CHIEFLY CONCEBSIXG EARS A* Welt at Dealana and CalankA Befarter Interviews Br. i. p. Snnl Relative la His Xttka4 el Treating the Ear aa< Its Diseases —The Man at News Applies the latemgatary Pump aat Hr laps ta the Surface Sail* Facts as Weil aw the I«ca that' the Dactar Knawa Whcrcalt He Affirms. On last Saturday a tall, military-looking gentlemen cauie into our sanetum, in company with the weli-kuown druggist, McCrillus Adams, who introduced the distinguished looking visitor as Dr. Saul. At ter an exchange of courtesies it was learned that our caller was Dr. J. Ferdinand Saul, late aural surgeon to the eye and ear infirmary of Prairie du Chien, Wis^ and author of the Auditorine Method of curing deafness. The Doctor is one of the finest conversationalists we ever met. He has traveled extensively, and has the faculty of description in remarkable degree. It is a pleasure to converse with him upon any subject. A Democrat representative applied the roportorial pump to him with questions concerning his profession. Below will be found the result of the interview: Reporter—Doctor, I understand that you have devoted years or patient study, as well as having had a large practical experience in treating the diseases of the ear, and diseases of the nasal passage, such as catarrh. Doctor—For the past few years my mind has been occupied almost incessantly in the study of the subject framed in your query. Seeing so many people afflicted with deafness it early awakened my sympathy and enlisted my hands and head in the cause of ameliorating the suffering. K.—Is your attention directed exclusively to the diseases referred to, or do you treat afflictions that come under a general classification as common ills? j Dr.—I treat no diseases excepting those which cause or is the etiology of diseases of the ear and deafness, You will understand that in order to produce a ejire of an affliction the eause must be removed. As, for instance, in this section a large proportion of cases of deafness coming under my ohserration are the result of catarrh, hence the cause must be removed before a perfect cure can be effected. R.—It has been statated that no organ of the human economy is so complicated, or its delicate functions so little understood as those of the ear. Am I correct? * Dr. Saul—You certainly are, beyond all controversy, more especially the labyrinth or internal ear, which being prevoded with almost iuunterable ramifications of the acoustic, or nerve of hearing, forming, w ith its concomitant, what is knowu by anatomists as Corti’s organ, which is the most complicated and delicate structure in the entire animal economy. R.—Now tell me something regarding the structure of this complicated as well as

necessary appendage? Dr.—Anatomists have divided the ear into three distinct parts and two grand divisions viz: The external, middle and internal ear; the sound-conducting apparatus and the sound receptaculum, or receiving part of the ear. tt.—What part do you designate as the sound-conducting apparatus? , l>r.—It is the external auricle, which.performs the functions of the wide mouth of a trumpet, and the pathway or tubular canal which leads to the membrane tympanum or drum head, the middle ear or oavity of the tympanum, containing the three little uon'elets or chain of ossicles bridging the cavity, the eustachian tube or air pipe leading from the upper throat, and the mastoid cells, lying immediately back of the middle eag, and acoustic or special nerve of .hearing. R,—What is tire sound receiving part? Hr-—The labyrinth, consisting of its semicircle canals, the vestibule and the cochlea, containing the perilymph fluids. Floating within are the filaments of the auditory nerve and otilliths, or ear pebbles. R,—If not a secret, have you any objections to briefly illustrate the action of your peculiar method? Dr.—I have no secret from tho regular profession, and it is scarcely necessary to say that it differs very materially from the methods as prescribed by the common method of curing deafness. The underlying principle of the auditorine method Is to convey the medical and restorative properties to tho diseased parts without the use of dangerous surgical iustrumeuts, and keeping crude and deleterious drugs out of the delicate organ of hearing. To cure the deaf I use no knife, Nor poisonous drugs whieh injure life! A dangei-ous probe I never poise, Nor cut the drum to stop a noise. My reason for referring to “Cutting the drum to stop a noise”- are, that there is a method con sisting of surgical operation entitled tenotomy and paracentecis of the drum head and its little muscles, which 1 deem almost culpable and rarely fail inplaci ng tbe victim beyond the possibility of a cure. R.—Who is the author of your auditoriue method of curing deafness ? Dr.—It gives me puro and genuine pleasure in stating that I am the author of this method. R.—Has it met your expectations as a remedy for deafness? Dr.—My most sanguine expectation, sir, as my testimonials ami diagnostic hook will show, hundreds of people living In a silent world, having gone home to hear the sweet sounds floating on the ear in natural strains without discord or defect. R.—Are yon meeting with the success that you anticipated? -

Dr.—It would really surprise you toknow of the number of deaf people that have oailed upon me from everywhere. R.—Is your treatment within the reach of people of moderate means, or a luxury only accessible to the wealthy? . Dr.—It is a boon that ean be secured by all, as to those without rnouey the treatment is without price. Reporter—Dr. Saul, I notice yon speak of catarrh; does that belong to aural surgery? Doctor—Yea, sir; directly. Any aural treatment for the middle ear that does not have its tendency to oure catarrh is inert, and will therefore fail to restore lost hearing or render any relief to the patient. My experience as an aiarist has taught me that fully one-half of the many cases of deafness that I have encountered were caused by catarrh, hence the necessity of curing disease, or in other words remove the cause of deafness, and normal hearing generally follows. Reporter.—Doctor, how many causes of deafness are there, and what causes do you pronounce incurable. Doctor—There are many diseases which produce deafttess, and mauv degrees of deafhess may result from a single disease, the oases and causes or deafness are thereby almost endless in their variety. Some forms of deafhess are more dangerous in their tendency than others, especially when there exists any anatomical destruction, such as complete destruction of the membrane tympanum, (or drum head), a wasting away or caries of the ossicles, or little bonelets of the drum cavity, and a complete paralysis of the acoustic nerve, such cases are always discharged by me as being decidedly incurable. If the deafhess is the result of a traumatic injury, us a severe fall or blow, or a nervous disease, such as cerebro spinal meningitis but little if any hope mav be expected, for relief in consequence of those troubles generally affecting the in. ner or libyriuth ear, which, being exceedingly complicated and delicate, rtinnot w. easily reached by any method of treatment. Reporter—1 suppose when vou impart the news that their oases are incurable, they liecome reconciled to their fate? Doctor Not l»y any means. If there is

»»? pew* in this life who is perfectly miserable, it is one who is deaf. It is a remarkable feet that as a rale, blind persons are reasonably happy and resigned to their awfhl condition, while those who are deaf will art perfectly quiet in society and to augment their misery, they see the smiles of bright countenances and movements of others’ Ups, and imagine themselves the object of scorn and derisiou of those present. And not being desirous af continuing such a life of misery, their great anxiety, like the drowning “man who grabs at every floating straw,” prompts them to a premature selection of medical advice, giving ear tosuch culpable treatment as a “raw onion crammed in theear, kerescue oil, lime water, angle worm oil, fish oil, cod liver oil, goose grease, eagles’ gall, musk rat oil, mud turtle oil, soot, rattlesnake oil, black molasses, opossum oil, coons’ oil, the end of a black cat’s tall cut off at midnight, negro’s wool taken from the crown of the head, and a host of such deleterious filth dropped or poured into the ear, doing great injury, be“S • direct irritant, producing inflammation, and aggravating the disease that had already impaired the hearing. This closed the interview, and for anything further concerning theear or the treatment of catarrh we advise all wishing such information to eall on Dr. Saul, lie will give you a warm welcome, and you will profit by it. Tou will find him at the residence of the editor of this paper, corner Ninth street, one square from the court house.
