The Katouiau civil service system must go.__ “Rings” are broken nearly as often as engagements. The signs of the times point to renewed prosperity. Cleveland’s back-bone is not deficient. Ho has proven it. The Democratic skies are bright in Ohio, Virginia and New York. ‘ Hog cholera in virulent form is reported from various 'Western States. The government is making a determined effort to break up illicit distilling in Tennessee. In Wisconsin high license for the sale of liquors carried by popular vote. Five huudred dollars will be the price! Over $1,600,000 in drafts and cash were found in the 4,818,000 letters sent to the dead letter office last year. •Very few of the President’s appointments will be opposed by the Senate say the Republican Senators now in Washington. The estimated' corn crop in the country is placed at 1,990,000,000 bushels, an increase over last year of ' 195,000,000 bushels. The President has appointed exCongressman Stoekslager, of Corydon, a Deputy Commissioner of the General Land Office. * John Sherman’s effort to revive sectional issues reminds us of Mrs. Jarley’s Wax works, “wind her up and show the lady her great grief.” Rev. P. Hendershot, pastor of the Christian Church at Bedford, fled from his angry congregation charged with a crime “too damnable to put in print,” says the Mitchell Commercial.

The statistician of ii\& agricultural department at Washington reports that within thirty-five years the yield of wheat has increased twice as fast as our population, and that last year's crop was five times as large as that of 1850. , The New York Democracy nominated Governor Hill for re-election. In the election of 1882, when Mr. Ilill was chosen Lieutenant Governor, his majority was 190.781, being 4,000 larger than that of his chief, Mr. Cleveland. We would be pleased to see one of Knox county's sons represent in in the Senate. Plenty of good timber over there. We shall .expect Knox to giye us the Senator alternately, lor you know we have aspirants over here who will shine in that august body. Civil Service Commissioner. .Eaton having resigned there will be no teal's shed over his taking oft’, for it is true as the Seymour Democrat says that the operations of the civil service law, under the direction of a commission created for the sole purpose of perpetuating Republicans in office, are unsatisfactory to the people.

Hie Louisville. Exposition is larger than ever this year, and the attendance increases daily,' Southern Indiana being well represented. Cappa’s famous Seventh Regiment band will be there the remaining days of this great exposition. No one should fail to attend. Read the Exposition letter in another column. S —-!-L-H Year after year the struggle for place goes on. From the highest to the lowest office is sought for by the ambitious. The Presidential candidate is near three score years ere he reaches his high station, while the hundreds of prominent men never reach the goal of ambition, though they may remain prominent after an ex-President has passed into obscurity. Passing by the Stato and county offices, we come to the townships where the constable and road supervisor are offices over which the whole neighborhood gets torn up sometime*, and disturbs the friendly relations of John Blank whose land adjoins Alex. Blank’s, and John Smith who live at Cross Roads—and so on. A case of prayer cure eomos from Kentucky, and is detailed as follows: A special to the Louisville Times says that for the past year or more Miss Sallie McDonald, of Boyle county, Ky.JntS been affected with a spinal cofiiplaint, and has been bed-ridden during the whole time. Last^nnday she was visited by the Rev. Mr. Burchfield, of Cincinnati, who prayed with her, and received from her assurances that she had faith that God could and would restore her to health. Mr. Burchfield placed his had upon her head and she arose, perfectly restored. Up to this time she has suffered no relapse and says that she has no apprehension that she will. Miss McDonald is the daughter of Mr. Jessie McDonald,> respected citizen of this county, and is herself a perfectly reliable lady.

Republicans are unwilling, in fact, utterly refuse to credit the Democratic party with securing landed accessions to the United States, aud getting the vast amounts of territory South and West of unlimited wealth. It is proven by history that these were secured under Democratic administrations, while. Alaska, that frigid and barren country, is the representative of the purchase made by Republican administration. Compare that accession to those detailed in the following distinct catechism, aud give credit to whom credit is; due: In the first place, who was the founder >of the Democratic party ? Thomas Jefferson-. He also wrote the Declaration of Independence and was the third President of the United States. Please bound the territory of the United States when he became President. It was bounded on the East by the Atlantic ocean, ou the North by the British possessions, on the West by the Mississippi river, and on the South by a strip of territory owned by Spain, comprising Florida and the southern portions of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. When Mr. Jefferson left the Presidency what additional territory had been added to the United States? What was known as Louisiana was purchased from France. The Louisana territory comprised what is now Dakota, Montana, Minnesota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Indian Territory, Arkansas and Louisiana; or the country lying East of the river Sabine, North of Red and Arkansas rivers and East of the Rocky Mountains. When Mr. Monroe, another Democrat, succeeded to the Presidency the boundaries of the country were the same as when Mr. Jefferson was succeeded by Mr. Madison. What territory was added during Mr Monroe’s administration? Florida and the strip running along the Gulf to the Mississippi river, which was ceded to the United States by Spain in 1819. The country now for the first time had a free outlet to the Gulf. When Jas. K. Polk, another Democrat, was inaugurated as President of these United States the boundary lines were the same as when Monroe was succeeded by J no. Quincy Adams. During Mr. Polk’s administration what territory was acquired by the government ? All that territory West of the Rocky Mountai ns and the Louisiana purchase, now comprising Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada* Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Bound the territory of the United States when Mr. Polk left the Presidency. It was bounded by the Atlantic ocean on the East, the Pacific ocean on the West, British possessions on the North and Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico on the South. Thus the southern outlet through the' Mississippi aud the Gulf of Mexico, the unbounded wealth beyond the great river—the inexliaustable wealth of the grain aud stock regions and the gold and silver mines of the West were added to this country by Democratic administrations. Jefferson was a Democrat, Monroe was a Democrat, Polk was a Democrat.

Because several trustees have gotten their townships heavily iu debt through fraud, the impression prevails that our laws\are exceedingly loose in its direction as to the duty of such officer, says the Vincennes Sun. This, however, is not the case—the law bears down with equal severity on all Baud no matter by whom committed, and we find that a special penalty is provided for the crime of which these absconding trustees are charged, in the section of the statute which says that any public officer who shall bargain for or receive any percentage, draw back, premium, profit or money on any contract wherein the county or township is concerned, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not less than $300 nor more than $5,000, and be imprisoned in the State’s prison not less than two nor more than fourteen years. .

The local newspaper is identified with the interests of your home, truthfully says an exchange. It is conducted by those you know. Its columns are filled with what is of special and particular value to you. In its prosperity you have a vital interest, and to this prosperity you can Lest contribute? l>y giving it your support and patronage. It is your friend, your neighbor. Your duty is first to it in preference to all others. No outside or foreign newspaper can possibly have any claim upon you until your duty is discharged to the local journal. Indiana Crops. The Indiana Farmer publishes a condensation of its correspondence concerning the crops of Indiana, Ohio and Illinois. From the reports it appears that in the northern part of the State the wheat yield per acre is fifteen bushels, in the central division twelve bushels, and in the southern eight bushels. The average yield per acre for the whole State being eleven bushels. The actual area harvested, according to the best attainable data, 2,560,900 acres. This shows the production for the year to be 28,169,900 bushels. Oats is a very large crop. The t able shows the yield per acre thirty-five bushels. It is safe to say that the crop is one of the largest ever grown in the State, as it is true that a very considerable part of the wheat area was plowed up and put to oats. From the best data at hand the oals erop is put in round numbers at 20,000,000 bushels, and will not fall below that. Cowi is so well matured as to he out of danger of the frost. The largest crop ever grown in the State was that of 1879, being 115,482,300 bushels. The crop of this year will exceed that considerably. The area in corn is 3,460,680 acres, and the yield per acre will be aeeordiiig to the best estimates —thirty-eight acres. This will make the crop of the State 131,505,840 bushels. Corn is maturing better than it lias in several years, and will weigh heavy, and thus we will have not only the largest, but the best and most merchantable product ever grown in the State. Hay in several sections is reported above an average'crop, but, takiugthe yield; in all sections, we shall have at loa^t a full crop.

PARAGRAPHIC POINTERS. When tlie ice dealer’s harvest euds the coal dealer’s begins. * * * GeiuStevensou is the “bouncer” for the Post-office Department. * * * A Kentucky woman has named her triplets Cleveland, Hendrick and Reform. * * * The “double Uncle Tom’s Cabiu troupes” are a double iniiiction on a community. * * * “Blaine still in the ring,” is a newspaper heading. He is always in the ring, but is never still. * * * James G. Blaine was robbed of the contents of his pocket book and coat, at Jeffersonville, recently. He is a colored man. * * * “Papa, that horse has its bangs cut off,” said a little four-ye'ar old child at a fair when a horse was seen with its foietop closely trimmed. * * * Belva Lockwood called on President Cleveland for the first time last week. Belva thinks Grover is running the political machine as well as she could have done. * » * From an address by Rev. J. W. Haney, a pastor at Springfield, Ohio : “The Democratic party is the road to hell, and the Republican party is the road to damnation. I'll take to the woods.” * * * “What is a politician?” “One who is devoted to the advancement of his party.” “No, sir, iu this late day a politician is a man who is devoted to the advancement of himself at the expense of his party.”—[Conversation of two old-timers. * * * “My wife has the plumbago,” remarked a husband to a friend a few evenings ago. “Plumbago!” exclaimed his friend; “you mean to say lumbago.” “No; plumbago,” said the husband; “don’t you suppose I know the difference between plumbago and lumbago 1”

The Southern Exposition. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 28,1885. Special to the Demockat. With the advent of Cappa’s Military Band everything about the Exposition seems to ‘■boom.’’ His programmes are quite varied and his concerts attract great crowds. Tho following was his evening programme one day last week: 1. Overature—Semiramide. Rossini 2. Cornet Solo—L’Adelphi.Wiegand Mr. W. 1>. Rogers. 3. Grand Selection—The Mikado Sullivan 4. Waltz—Estadiantina.Waldteufel 5. Idyl—“The Blacksmith in the Woods.” Michaelis Blacksmith by Mr. Oscar Gericke Synopsis—This composition is descriptive of the daily routine of a blacksmith in the woods. It commences with the babbling sound of a brook close by The notes of a cuckoo and other birds announce the approach of day The clock strikes 5 The regular morning devotions ended, the blacksmith tires his forge and enters upon the noisy labors of the day. If “variety is the spice of life” then all visitors to the Southern Exposition must be well seasoned, for between foreign and home exhibits, tine works and art gallery, music andskating rink, he who is not satisfied with his visit is certainly hard to please. The fireworks programme on last Thursday evening iucluded, besides the unusually laige variety of rockets, baloons, crackers, shells, stars, etc. The following list of set pieces, from which the reader can gain some idea of the magnitude of the display. Set pieces Cross of Beauty. Fiery Dragons" Mammoth Wheel, the largest ever fired Floating The Golden Sun Sunflower, with revolving center. The Comical Old Sawyer. The Five Wonders Double Wheels, Turning with Fountain. The Storming of Pekin (by request). Your correspondent met Col. E. W. Allen, U. S. Commissioner to New Orleans Fair for Oregon, the other day. He has a whole car of fine exhibits of his State's resources, and is spending a few weeks here on his road South. The Colonel is exhibiting his car at the Southern Exposition, and some of the banners are very suggestive of the country he represents One sign reads: “Oregon on wheels out for a stroll among her sister states. She cordially invites all who will to return the visit, and thev who long to dwell iu the garden of the world to come and make themselves a home.” “Oregon is the uatural home of more of earth’s products than is any other state in the Union,” etc. Probably no agricultural implement exhibit attracts more attention than that of the Birdsall Manufacturing Company, of Auburn, New York. They show traction and portable farm engines, horse powers, threshers and sawmills, and their traction engine is mounted on springs in such a way as to relieve the Jboiler and gearing from all jar in running over rough or uneven roads. Thev use a patent wrought iron road wheel with open tire which is claimed to be the only perfect traction wheel in existence. In the saw mill annex they have put up two of their new Novelty saw mills. The “novelty” about this saw is the fact that the mill is so constructed that the sawmoves up on the log, which remains stationery, instead of the log moving up on the 6aw as is customary in all other portable mills. It is claimed, and appears reasonable that it takes less power to move the saw- than the ■log and less hands to operate the mill. Mr. Bishop Arnold, the gentleman in charge, is kept quite busy explaining the different good qualities of his Company’s machinery. The good will and the pleasant relatious existing between the management and exhibitors, which is unusual at expositions, was illustrated the other evening in a set of resolutions passed by the Exhibitors Association expressing great faith in the management, and extending thanks for the hospitable manner in which they have been treated and also stated that the large attendance fully repaid them for making their display. Yours trulv, W. D. B.

Clltrk, of Atlanta, On., in speaking of 1480.00 in gold, desires to say to the readers of thi6 paper, that the whole of the above amount was spent in a fruitless effort in finding relief from a terrible Blood Poison affecting his body, limbs and nose—presenting ugly running ulcers. He Is now sound and well, having been cured by the most speedy and wonderful remedy ever before known, and any interested party who may need a Blood Purifier will learn from him that three bottles of B.

RAILROAD RUMBLINGS. The Winslow depot is not likely to be removed to Goldthwaite. The Air Line is selling cheap tickets to the Louisville Exposition. Much opposition to the Vincennes and Ohio River Railroad is reported in Knox county. The annnal election of the E. & T. II. and E. & I. railroads will be held Monday, October 19th. The great and ouly Ilcrvey, well known to all our citizens, is building railroads all over the South. The town, of Plainsville, Elnora and Newberrj, on the new E. W. & B. R. R., are now open for business via the Straight Line. Col. Al. W. Carpenter, of Evansville, is one of the directors in the proposed Evansville, Seymour & Belfountain Railroad, and is also Vice President and Secretary. The track of the Evansville, Worthington & Brazil road has reached Newberry, and regular trains were pul on Tuesday. By the 25th inst. it is expected trains will run from Terre llaute to Bloomington, and by Nov. 1, the road will be completed, and the through trains from Evansville to Terre Haute will be run.—[ Vineennes Sun. Although D. J. Mackey is strongly criticised by some jKHiplej the Indianapolis Sentinel gives him this send-off: “It seems to be generally coueeded by local railroad men that President Mackey, of the E. & T. II., is one of the shrewdest railroad men in Indiana to-day, and he certaiulv is somewhat of a financier, for few men could have developed the property over the interests of which he watches day and night, so rapidly as he has done. His economical and careful management has caused him to be greatly admired by the Eastern stockholders, who feel, with some reason, that itheir money is safely invested.’'

A Bushel of Coal. Slate Statistician Peele submitted to Attorney-General Ilord the question, “IIow many pounds of coall constitute a bushel ?” and in answer the Attorney General says: “The statute provides that eighty pounds of mineral coal mined without aud sold within the State, or eighty pounds of coal mined within .the State shall be given aud taken as a standard bushel, aud such weight shall be considered a lentil tender to fulfill any coutract made for the delivery of coal. The statute supercedes and in efleet repeals any other statute on the subject.”

Typhoid Fever I I am sixty-seven years old, and have lived In this (Hall) county all my life. Up to twen-ty-eight years ago I was regarded as tho strongest man in the neighborhood—the most robust in health. In November 1856, I had a long and serious spell of typhoid fever. It left me emaciated and a cripple in my right leg. At times that limb wax swollen an enormous size, being twice as large as its natural condition, and inflamed and angry in ap^ pearanee. From my knee down small sores came, and at the ankle a large ulcer came, which discharged poisonous matter. My whole system became infected. The doctors would patch mo up for awhile, but the ulcer would never heal. The mercury and potash with which they dosed me brought^ on rheumatism and dyspepsia. I was an object of pity to all my; friends, ^ome thought that the only hope to save my life was amputation. I continued to grow worse, and for three years I have not worn a shoe. Hope had almost left me. Swift's Specific was suggested, and I commenced its use at once. From the very first I began to feci better. I have taken thirty-six bottles, and the shadow which darkened my life for twenty-eight years have all been dissipated. The effect of the medicine has been wonderful indeed. Today I am able to attend to all m3' farming interests, and walk from one to five miles per day. 1 am satisfied that the disease is entirely brokeu up, and henceforth I am to be free from those terrible apprehensions suffering which formerly made my life miserable, Swift’s Specific has done more for me in one year than ail the drug store medicine prescrbed b>* physicians did in twenty-eight md I most cheerfully bear this testiyears, and I most cheerfully l* mouy of its merits. \Vm, R. Reed. Hall County, Ga., Feb. 28,1885. From the Dissecting Room. Having taken Swifl’8 Specific for blood poison contracted at a medical college at a dissection, while I was a medical student, I am grateful to say that it gave me a speedy and thorough eure after my parents had spent hundreds of dollars for treatment. My arm was swollen to twice its nsunl size, and as nothing helped me I was despairing of ever being cured. But hearing oi the S. 8. 8., I bought a bottle, little thinking I wonld 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 Wkxml, Newark, N. J. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.
