Advertisers will wake a note of thle fbetl * Thursday, Sept. 17,1885. Protection is class legislation. TnE tariff mnst and will be reduced. Whatever is expedient is not always right. Indianapolis is likely to elect a Democratic Mayor. The relations between Spain and Germany are “strained.” The farmer, with fair crops, is the most independent of all men.

Monopolies must §o, is the decree of a Democratic administration. “It will take a hustler to beat Cobb,” says the Vincennes News. The misfit stove pipe is now causing much profanity throughout the y , The Republicans iu Virginia appear Wise, but the Democrats are giving them Fitz. Vanderbilt said',, “the people be d—d.” What do the people say of Vanderbilt? , A law goes into elect in Ohio tills month requiring all wages to be paid weekly in cash. Mbs. Marion A. Mulligan succeeds Miss Ada C. Sweet ns pension agent at Chicago. It is stated that Gen. Manson has a pretty sure prospect ofjieing the next pension agent. Mr. Hoaolt is shaking up the g. o. p. in Ohio, and making it warm for that icicle, John Sherman, -

Civil service—proper wages to laboring men, who will' not ‘"kick’’ when they get such wages. Hoadly has a good stride; and we shall not be surprised to see him' walk over Foraker in a few steps. The custom-house at Cairo, Illinois, has been discontinued because the receipts did not equal the expenses. The Democratic postmasters “bob up serenely” hero and there, and the Republican incurubcut "takes a header down below.” ■-■i-";"1 _g-jssur A SUIT has beew brought to' test the constituti onati-ty of the civil service law, and it will be carried to the Supreme court. The Kepubliean press continues to whack away at Mr. Hendricks. But they caw not hefy but noffcft' that Mr. II, “gets there” in every race. The Washington Daily Item suspended on the 5th inst. Fred. MasHen, one of the proprietors, will take charge of the Loogbotec Tribune. Strikes afa being averted by labor and capitai settling their differences by arbitration. This is the proper Way. It is conducive to harmony. Washington City has suffered greaitly by the Indiana township trustees’ swindle—about $250,000 of i the fradulent orders beiitg held there. Is the German seizure of the Caroling islands the first fruit of the recent meeting of the three emperors? ff so there is grave trouble at hand for the people of Europe. “The Hustler,” the Indianapolis illustrated paper has been cul&rged, and is full of arfisfic cartoons, able articles, and pointed paragraphs. Here’s to the Hustler; success to it. Business is improving, hut there is a scarcity of money. However, the latter is more noticeable than the first —it. ds easier to sce^thc scarcity of money than the iinprhvcmcnt of business. Business men who have recently returned from the East report that the feeling there relative to trade is decidedly ^better. They predict an early revival and a big fall and winter Business. The next session of Congress will be an important one. A tarifT bill is now being prepamfj ambit is probable that this matter will be adjusted for the benefit of the many, and not for a privileged few. The Democrats of Indianapolis will make an unusual effort to take the city government out of Republican bauds at tho approaching election. Last fall they reduced the usual Republican majority of 2,000 to about 350. The Vincennes News is boomiug along in its seventh year. The Bailey boys arc good newspaper men.' The epigrammatic editorials in that paper are written by one of the best writers oh the Iudiana press, though lie is conspicuously independent. The doaih of Claude G. DeBraler, which .occurred at Evausville, on Tuesday evening, the 8th inst., has caused profound regret throughout the country. With his passing away Indiana lost one of i|s greatest journalists.

Women used to wear hats nearly as large as straw stacks, but now the fashion is an excessively small hat Just so the style suits the ladies, and tho price is lessened as the size grows smaller, the whole family will be pleased. __■ We are thankful to exchanges for kind words regarding ottr fair dnily. “Wo lead, never follow.*' The editor of this paper got out the first daily of this kind iu Southern Indiana, twelve years ago, and has not missed an annual issue since. Rufus Hatch, who is regarded excellent authority, has a long article in the New York Sun, in which he shows by statistics that wheat will soon bu a dollar a bushel, and advises fanners to not sell a bushel for less. Old Rufus may be right, but “there's many a slip.” Wiiat the Democratic party needs is a few moro Stevensons in office. The First Assistant Postmaster General is a daisy. The fourth-class postoffices are being filled with Democrats, persons in accord with the payty in power. Hurrah for Stevenson ! _ The bloody shirt has been greatly exposed by Sherman in Ohio. That scheme is played out. The g. o. p. can not fire the sectional prejudices and on that outrageous issue regain the places from which they were ousted by a people who were in favor of a change.

It is plain to be sccu that every complaint made by the Republican press against the administration arises out of the loss of office by some Republican. The press is weak in tlieir attempts to assail it. In the meantime the band continues to play and the Democratic processiou marches on. The directors of the fair association met in Richardson & Taylor's office Saturday and allowed all the bills of expenses incurred this year. Tin association did remarkably well, and the fair as usual was a financial success, about $1,000 being the net receipts from this years’ exhibition. The proper move to prevent mismanagement of township frauds is shown in the following: “The commissioners of Shelby county have ordered the several trustees of that county to make a full report to the Board in writing under oath, of all unpaid indebtedness of their respective townships.”

Hon. &mory A. Storks, the wellknown barrister, of Chicago, died af Ottawa, 111., last Saturday. As a lawyer and public speaker he ranked among the foremost in this country. In him the Republican party loses one of its brightest advocates, and will miss'the brilliant efforts in future campaigns. All a ro und us wo sec the largo number of girls brought to their ruin. Au exchange remarks: ‘-As it is a fact that the number of girls who are ruined in civilized countries is greater than* the number of heathens converted to Christianity by missionary effort, wouldn’t it be bettor to pay less attention to the heathens and try to save the girls ?” The recent township trustees' swindles have made the taxpayers in all the counties of the State nervous, and they arc calling on their trustees to “show -their hands.” The next legislature will be compelled to amend the laws so that the power of trustees to incur debt will be largely restricted. It is not likely that an extra session will lie called. Theke is something radically wrong when one-fifth of the population of the great State of Indiana own the land from which all of its inhabitants must live. Economy is wealth, and therein is the great foundation for the betterment of the condition of those who arc without land, ft is true this would not ameliorate aflatrs entirely —wright all the wrongs—but it would change a multitude of them. A well informed gentleman who has taken an active interest in politics for several decades says that the Whigs used to charge the Democrats with intentions of doing many wrong things, and as soon as the opportunity occurred they themselves would do the very things they had condemned. It woiild’ut surprise him for the Republicans to pension the rebel soldiers if they “ever got a chance. See how it works when they get hold of the other horn. P. II. Downing, a prominent, and, until recently, an outspoken Republican, is the postmaster at Toledo, Ohio, lie published a card a day or two ago denouncing the Republican party and extolling Cleveland’s administration. He announces his confession of Democratic faith and principles, and the Republicans are londlv demanding his removal. Where is your Civil Service Reform ? Commissionek Baird, of the United State Commission of fish and fisheries, announces through a circular note that those who wish German carp should file their applications by ; the middle of October, when the ■ work of distribution will commence, jand continue probably until the end of the year. lie says there is, he thinks, at present a sufficient supply of carp in the government fisheries to meet all reasonable requirements. Democracy is in the saddle, and is getting in the offices—a fact we are glad to note. It is just; it is right. Though some rascals, upon Republican recommendation, have been appointed, as soon as found out thev were displaced. Let the work of putting in office, members of the party in power, go on and on. The party is held responsible for the administration of the offices, and lot the occupants be members of that party. That- is practical civil service reform.

—--^ ■■ — ■ ... — President Cleveland keeps & scrap book of excerpts from the newspapers in order to be informed of all sorts of public opinion. It is one clerk’s sole employment to collect aud pres'ervo these things. This clerk will please take notice that the Democrat's idea is that duriug a Democratic administration the public offices; which Mr. Cleveland *6ays are a public trust, should be filled with Democrats, men who are in accord with the administration, which is held responsible for the conduct of the public business. Township Trustees who report to the Board of Commissioners all the indebtedness of their township will not be compelled to decamp to Canada, as the three Daviess county trustees have done. I’efusc to deal with sharpers, spend the money only for legitimate supplies, keep account of outstanding orders, and report to the Board of Commissioners—this is the wav for Trustees to avoid the serious complications now arising in various counties in the State, and beget confidence in their iutegrity, under the existing lenient laws, regulating their offices. „

Tiie Indianapolis Herald will soon publish the amounts owed by its delinquent subscribers, and offer the same for sale to the highest bidder. The Herald very truthfully says. “The man who will not pay for his paper ought to be caressed with a “shooting-stick.” Two dollars a year is less than four cents a wcefc; and yet there are men who very reluctantly pay arrears on their paper and at the same time will spend twenty times the amount honestly demauded for liquor, tobacco, Christmas gifts, buggy-rides, dime museums, butterscotch aud carnal women!” If farmers waut to know what makes wheat so low, says an exchange, they must go back a few years to the great wheat corner manipulated by Jim Keene. That cutoff the market for wheat in Europe a half to a third of what it was, opened the India, thb Argentine Republic and other markets, or rather stimulated them into active opposition The consequences are that this country cannot command the wheat maiketof the world as it once did. That one gambling operation cost this country more tliau Black Friday, and iu the end, will prove more disasterous than Jay Cooke’s failure which precipitated the panic of 1873.

It is pleasing to observe “that during the six months between March 4 and Sept. 4, nol less than 6,400 new appointments have been made among the fourth-class Post Offices of the country. As there are only 48,421 fourth-class Post Offices iu the United States, one-eighth of the whole work in this important branch of Democratic reform has been accomplished since Mr. Cleveland was inaugurated. “It is also uoticed, iu the first place, that just one-eighth of Mr. Cleveland's term has been, consumed iii turning out just one-eighth of the Republicans holding fourth-class Post Offices. This indicates that the entire reform can be affected within the four years. At the present satislactory rate of progress, there will be a clean sweep.” Thus the affairs will be in good shape at the beginning of the next Democratic administration. Oxe of the most dangerous counterfeits over put out iu this country is now being worked off'. It is a ten dollar United States treasury note so perfect in design and execution as to deceive many of the most expert money handlers. The bill is lettered C, of the issue 1875. The fiber lines have been closely imitated by printing, and in some places by pen. The only flaws which give the bill away to an expert are in the printing. In the upper border of the note, the words: “This note is a legal tender,” “ten dollars,” the words are crowded, and the word “This” is printed “This.” To the ordinary observer this is hardly noticeable, however. The imprint of “Engraved and printed,” &c., in fine type at'the bottom, is poorly done. The numbering is rather defective to an expert. Otherwise the bill is nearly perfect, aud, no doubt will continue to victimize many people. Among the many good acts of the present administration is the fact that the Interior Department has “issued more pensions to Union soldiers, and adjusted more old pension claims during the last quarter of Hie fiscal year, than were ever issued under Republican rule in any ouc quarter. It has stopped the cuttiug of timber on the alternate sections of land belonging to t he government, by the groat land grant corporations. It has stopped the system of making the claims of applicants for pensions “special" where the party has influential friends (except in the extreme and palpably mcritorions cases), thus putting all applicants upon equal footing, aud preventing favored men from being jumped ahead of equally deserving invalids.” This alone, not to speak of other needed reforms, is enough to cause congratulation over the election of Cleveland and lleudricks and the defeat of Blaiuc and Logan. Fairs cannot be run for the beuefit of any political party or members thereof. The Wabash county fair was a dismal failure this year because the Republicans, smarting under defeat in county politics, declared that no Democrat should have an office in the agricultural society. This kiud of busiuess should fail every time, and it will. The fairs arc ruu for the 'people, and polities should iu uo way .govern the society or the acts of its officers. % A Walking Skeleton. Mr. E. Springer, of Mechanicaburg, Pa., writes: “I was afflicted with lung fever and abscess on lungs, and reduced to a walking skeleton. Sot a free trial bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery forCousumption, which did m« so much good that I bought a dollar bottle. After using three bottles, found myself once more a man, completely restored to health, with a hearty apatite, and a gain in flesh of 18 lbs.” Call at Bergen & Adams’ Drug Store and get a free trial bottle of this certain cure for all lain* Diseases. Large bottles. l.Otf.

The Commissioners. The Board of County Commissioners during their regular session, commencing on the 7th inst., have allowed claims, and transacted other important business. Liquor licenses were granted as follows: Scott Mitchell, Petersburg; Jos. E. Pipes and W. F. MeCov, Winslow. The Board ordered the countv’s agent, Josiah Newkirk, to sell land'in Monroe township, which was turned over to the county by J. W. Richardson. In accordance with an act of the last legislature, requiring the appointment of appraisers for the lands mortgaged for school fund loans, the Board divided the county into three districts with the following appointments: First—Lewis E. Lett, Win. H. Kelso, W. E. Chappell; Second— James Barker, John H. Willis, Wm. A. Oliphant; Third—II. J. Wiggs, George' Overbeck, J. B. McKinncv. An election was ordered to lie heid at Winslow, on October 6th, to vote on the question of incorporation. Another Pension Agent at Chicago.

[Washington Special,Sept. 9.] The appointment of Mrs. Maria Mulligan to be Pension Agent at Chicago, fell like a bombshell in the camp of the Illinois Republicans here toilay. After Miss Sweet refused, to resign in answer to Commissioner Black’s request the general impression was that she would be allowed to retain her position for the present, at least. This was the situation of affairs until General Black sent a special examiner to look into the manner ui which business was conducted in the Chicago office. His report disclosed an interesting condition of affaire, but the Commissioner even then was gallant enough not to pursue a woman. It appears, however, that the President had watched the course of events with unusual interest. Somehow Miss Sweet found it best to resign. . At the "White House but little information can be gleaned to-night. Colonel Lamont said that Miss Sweet had tendered her resignation, and that the President had merely filled the vacancy by the appointment of Mrs. Mulligan, whose appointment had been urged all along by General Black. Mrs. Mulligan is the wife of Colonel James A. Mulligan, who died of wounds received near Winchester, Va., July 26,1864. Colonel Mulligan was brevetted Brigadier-Gonerai for gallantry and bravery only three days before his death. He commanded the Twenty-third Illinois regiment. Mr. Lincoln was an Offensive Partisan. [From the Chtcago-HcraW.]' Before President Lincoln ; had been in office six weeks the victors .had all the spoils worth taking. Ispt a Democratic post master with a -salary of more than $400 was any where to be found, and from that day until the 4th of March last Democrats have nol: been permitted to hold an appointive Federal office. There seemed nothing extraordinary or out of course in the prediction that iu the event of Democratic success there would be what was called a clean sweep. The new administration has been in operation six months, and there has beeu no clean sweep—there has bcou no clean sweep at all. In the 2,323 Presidential postoffices there have been but 487 changes, and a large per centage of these were appointments made to fill vacancies created by death, resignation, or expiration of term. There are 48,421 postoffices of the fourth class, that is, offices to which the masters are appointed, not by and with the advice and consent of the Senate upon the nomination of the President, but by the postoffice department. In these there have been but 6,400 changes, many of these appointments being made to fill vasi caucics arising from ordinary causes.

-— « -<>»■ ■» - Bather Fishey. [New Harmony Register.] At the late old settlers’ reunion, at Plainfield, the most noteworthy feature was the presence of two twin brotters and their twin wives. The brothel's are named Marts, and live in Arcadia, Hamilton county. They are eighty-seven years old, and their wives eighty-four. The two couples were married at the same time, on the 27th day of the month. Each has leared twelve children, seveu sons and live daughters, every one of whom was born on the 27th day of the month. The parents and children all belong to the Christian church. The fathers, to a stranger, took alike as two ]»eas, and so do the mothers. The maiden-name of the latter was McCormick, and it is said that their father was the first white man in Indiana. His cabin stood where now is the site of the new State-house building in Indianapolis. Twelve hundred fail's are to be held in the States and Territories this autumn. Ihere are nearly four hundred counties (397) iu which no fairs will be held this year, and Indiana has live of them.

Peterson's Magazine for October makes us marvel more than ever how so beautiful 1 monthly can be published for so low a fjjoo- T1*e principal engraving on steel, ■‘The Star of the Night,” is a portrait of one )f the loveliest of women, and looks as if painted from life. There are two colored patterns in embroidery; a mammoth colored rashion-plate; a story profusely illustrated; »nd some fifty wood-cuts of fashions, worktable patterns, etc., etc. The powerful novelet by Mrs, Aim Stephens, which has uwakened such interest all the year, grows more absorbing as it approaches the close. '‘Josiah Allen’s Wife” has one cf her unrivaled humorous sketches; Frank Lee Benedict begins a new novelet; and there is * little sketch, “That Horrid Dress,” which every lady ought to insist on her husband reading. But enough; the best thing'to do is to write for a specimen of “Peterson,” which will be sent gratis, and compare it with others, when you will be certain to subscribe, or get up a club, for 1886 Now is the lime for this.

A. Popular Conductor Says: I consider it my duty to impart some very valuable inform|fion to my friends and acquaintances, as many of them know the unpleasant condition under which I have labor: ed in performing my duties as conductor ol the Georgia Central railroad. Some months ago I became afflicted with a jevere attack of Rheumatism, and I desire ta state how I was cured. It Increased in violence until I could no longer get in and out oi the cars without assistance. While thus suffering all the agonies of this dread disease and ready to abandon my position through sheer necessity, I was induced to try B. B. B. THE EFFECT WAS TRULY MAGICAL. I had no idea, that a medicine could produce such an effect in so short a time. I experienced a wonderful change before using half a bottle. After taking only four bottles, I And myself to-day a well man. This splendid medicine effected a cure no less wonderful in the cose of my wife, who was also terribly afflicted with Rheumatism. 8he obtained complete relief and perfect restoration to health aftertaking the same number of bottles I did. I take much pleasure in recommending B. B. B. to my friends as FIRST-CLASS, frefer to Mr. R. Schmidt, Agent C. R. R. Atlanta, and to C. R. R. Agent, Macon, and Dr. Hape, Atlanta. J. T. GOO DMA N.

TyplLoid. Fever] X am sixty-seven years old. and have livac in this (Hall) county ail my life. Up to twen-ty-eight years ago I was regarded as thi strongest man in t he neighborhood—the mosi robust in health. In November 1836. I had f long and serious spell of typhoid fever. 1' left me emaciated and a cripple in my rlgli leg. At times that limb was swollen at enormous sire, being twice as largo as its nat ural condition, and inflamed and angry in ap pearance. From my knee down small sore! came, and at the ankle a large ulcer came which discharged poisonous matter. M; whole system became Infected. The docton would patch me up for awhile, but the ulcei would never heal. The mercury and potast with which they dosed me brought on rheu mutism and dyspepsia. I was nn object o pity to all my friends. Some thought tha the only hope to save my life was amputa tion. I continued to grow worsie. and foi three years I have not worn a shoe. Hopt had almost left me. Swift’s Specific was suggested, and I commenced its use at once From the very first X began to feel better. ] hare taken thirty-six bottles, and the shadou which darkened my life for twenty-eighl years have all been dissipated. The effect oi the medicine has been wonderful indeed. Today I am able to attend to all my fanning interests, and wnlk from one to fire miles pei day. I am satisfied that the disease is entirely broken up, and henceforth I a in to be fre« from those terrible apprehensions Suffering which formerly made my life miserable Swift’s Specific has done more for me in on« year than all the drug store medicine preserbed by physicians did in twenty-eight years, and I most cheerfully bear this testimony of its merits. Vfit K. Hkeii. Hall County, Gn., Feb. 28,18®. From the Dissecting Room. Having taken Swifl’s Specific for blood poison contracted at a medical college at a dissection, while I was a medical student, 1 am grateful to say that it gave me a speedy and thorough cure after my parents had spent hundreds of dollars for treatment- My arm was swollen to twice its usual size, and as nothing helped me I was despairing of ever being cured. But hearing ol the S. S. S., 1 bought a bottle, little thinking I would derive any benefit from it. I began taking it regularly, and soon the swelling began to go down and the arm ceased to pain me. I continued its use, and after taking eight bottles was thoroughly cured. Augustus Wesdii, Newark, N. J. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.
