KP The Pike County Democrat has the largest rlrenlstlon of any newspaper published In Pike Coaaty 1 Advertisers will make a note of this fhetl Thursday, Oct. 8,1885. Monopolies must go. Reform is the watch-word. The country's needs are not always given by a statesman’s deeds. The Indiana tobacco crop has not been damaged in any way this season. The reduction of the national debt during Saptember was about $12,000,°°0. ' The New York Suu speaks of Hon. W. S. Holman as “the Cato of the Democracy.” Cholera has broken out in Canada. It is now a bad place for absconding bank cashiers and trustees. After several mouth’s trial the administration has proven a success. It has the confidence of the people. To the press generally we return thanks for the good' wishes extended the Democrat. ‘/What will vou take, hoys ?” J The New York produce exchange figures the visible supply of wheat at 43,047,293 bushels, aud of corn at 6,012,919 bushels. Russia may yet declare war on Turkey. The United States by proclamation of the chief executives will declare war on turkey next month.

The Evansville Courier made a mistake in trying to retire Hendricks, Voorhecs aud McDonald from the leadership of the Hoosier Democracy. The mugwump has gone back to the Republican party. His mission was to defeat Blaine, and having aided iu that work, he goes back to the g- o. p. The United States have three times as many miles of telegraph line, twice as many offices, and forward twice as many telegrams as auv other country on the globe. Rev. T. DeIVitt Talmage, upon his return from Europe, says he found the word “American” a password, and that no other nation is so popular iu all countries as the United States. The Republicans well know “the Inequalities of the tariff.” They so resolved in their national platform last-year. The inequalities consist in one class being protected while the other is not. That is class legislation. During the first nine months of 1885, the business failures in the United States numbered 8,167, with aggregate liabilities of 197,000,000. The failures during the corresponding period of last year were 7,856 and the liabilities $181,000,000. The Halstead letter criticising the actions of the leading generals of the Union army and suggesting the assassination of Lincoln, written iu 1863 to Salmon 1*. Chase, and published in ythe Cincinnati Enquirer, September 27th, 1885, has taken the starch out of the bloody shirt. It is a fact, beyond questiou, that the tariff agitation is to be revived at the next meeting of Congress says the Seymour Democrat; it is a further fact, equally indisputable, that the revival will last until the presont unequal and unjust tariff laws are either remodeled or repealed. Our present tariff is protection run to seed. It is a mass of crudities, and calls for radical revision. A revolution of the present tariff does not necessarily mean free trade; it moans commercial reform. The tariff should not be revised in the interest of a theory, but in the interest of business.—[Iudianapoiis Times (Republican.) ,

Ix Virginia the colored voters are denouncing the Republican party and joining the Democratic ranks. AH that is necessary for the colored voters to do in order to secure every political right to which they are entitled under the laws, is to learn to know and. appreciate the fact that they arc not owned and controlled by the Republican party. In* a late talk with a newspaper man, Win. R. McKean, president of the Vandalia system, says and wisely^ too, that Indiana needs no more railroads for twenty-five years at least. If townships, counties or capitalists have any money to invest in Indiana, it can lie used to the best advantage in constructing good gravel pike roads to enable farmers to get to the railway station with their produce at all seasons of the year. Seckktaht Manning’s paper, the Albajny Argus, quotes approvingly the following utterance of solid sense from the San Francisco Examiner: “By the recognized rule of all parties, the Democrats won the federal offices in the last Presidential election. In this country, where the ballot boxes rule, parties could not bo necessarily maintained for a single year unless men at the head of au administration appoint as their subordinates those who roucar in their measures and objects.”

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE, Hon. W. F. Townsend Die Coming Man -A Just Tribute to His Worth and Abilities. The Owensboro (Ky.) Messenger in a recent is sue in speaking of the leaders of Democracy, and of those to become leaders says that lion. W. F. Townsend has developed ability that cminontlv qualifys him for such leadership. ' . . The Evansville Courier says: “Even the Messenger has discovered in Mr. Townsend a man who might develop into a leader. The Courier heartily endorses this estimate of one of our brightest young men/’ The Democrat cheerfully assents to the above, and suggests that ho be placed in command of the Democracy of the First district as successor to the lion. Johu J. Kleiner. Mr. Townsend possesses in an eminent degree all the qualities of head aud heart, and wc may add of tongue—to make a successful leader and representative. Democracy would flourish under his leadership. A FARMER*SCAREFUi VIEW. When asked regarding the prospect for the corn crop an experienced farmer replied* that he never saw a finer prospect, but that there was an element to be contended with before it could be counted as secured. He said his observation had been so far tills year, that the rain-fall had been much less than the average for previous years for the same period; aud that there was great danger of an overflow in the river bottoms. Ilis experience had been that about so much water fell each year, and if it did not fall during the summer season we might expect high waters during tlio fall and early winter season. Ho said he | had considerable corn in the river bottoms himself, and that he intended to take it from the lands at the earliest possible moment, and advised all farmers in like situation to do the same. This conversation suggested to the writer that an examination of the i-eeords of rain-fall might be of Use to the farmers. The following is given: During the year, up to the present time, twenty-seven inches of water has fallen; for the same period in previous years the average was thirtythree inches. This shows a shortage of six inches. The average rain-fail for each year for thirteen years was forty-seven inches. If this average is maintained, there is yet to fall this year twenty inches of water; aud, as the old farmer said, it is very probable that it will fall between now and tlie first of December. With these facts before us, we would advise all farmers, who haW? grain in the bottoms, to secure iras early as possible, in anticipation of an overflow.

EDUCATIONAL, Wo intend hereafter to publish a few articles in this column on the educational interest of Piko county. We now desire, as we ever have, to contribute somewhat to anything good for the present or future. The County Superintendent informs us that the intention is to work up the matter of gradation and graduation in this county to as high a standard as possible. We are willing to contribute ourshare to this good work. We will publish in this column the names of till the pupils of this county who make an average of ninety-live percent, on the monthly examinations. We also desire to have the teachers of the county to take an interest in furnishing us with any information that may prove profitable or interesting to those of the county who aie in any way interested in the matter of education. For the present a few notes will be sufficient: Five things to be observed by the teachers: 1. Regularity. 2. Promptitude. 3. Decorum." 4. Morality, a. Quietude. Enthusiasm throws a charm over the dullest thought, produces conviction, leads to intense exercise and produces all the fruits of labor. Le.t no teacher be too Well satisfied with himself. One should not think ho has any ability at all, as long as that ability is in the “rough.” A teacher should not be self-sufficient, bnt he should be willing to learn from others, and to apply those lessons learned, er ho will soon be what live people call “old fogies.” Teaeliers whojlo not desire to improve, lack ambition. They arc content to he drones in a hive of busy bees. They either do not expect to teach long, or they do not care to exert themselves to apply a new principle. It evidently is true that a teacher who will not teach well, because he does not expect to teach long, is not honest with himself, his God, or the fu ture good of his country. It is believed, and sincerely hoped, that no teacher in Pike county can fully apply these remarks to himself.

HEADING CHICLE* The reading circle of Pike county is continually on the increase. The County Superintendent, who is also the County Manager for this county, has received twenty orders already. They are growing. This '“shows that the teachers of the county are continually on the increase. No teacher will be as good without the benefit of this work. It includes the following kinds of study: Professional studies; as, Mental Science, Methods of Instruction, General History, English Literature, History of Education, &c., &e. It is good for any one to belong to Indiana Teacher’s Heading Circle. A, part of the work is indispensable to any profession. It is hoped _ that every teacher in the county will join. An explanation and synopsis of the work will be given next week.. The Hartford Con rant, Senator Hawley’s paper, and one of the staunchest of Republican journals, thus eloquently rebukes the leaders of its party in Ohio: “We are one people North and South. The old root of bitterness is, thank God, only a remembrance. The Union is infinitely stronger in 1885 than it was in 186»—or in 1855—or in 1795, for that matter. The Hag is as dear in South Carolina nud Georgia and Louisiana as it is in Connecticut. Wo are one people. Shame and confusion and utter failure to the unworthy American, North or South, who, iuthis newjday.and with Grant’s words to Buckner before his eyes, seeks to rekindle the embers of "old strife!”

The Subscriber and tire Editor. -•- Many amusing incidents occur, in the course of a year’s association, between the subscriber of a uewspaper and its publisher. The newspaper man has the greatest chance of any person In the world to study character, and conics in contact with every phaze of human nature. There are all kinds of subscribers to a newspaper, just as all kinds of people go to make up a world, and if the editor does not see all of them, then a great surprise is yet in store for him. There is the man who takes the paper a year or two WmiOl’T PAYING* FOR IT, and then has the paper marked “refused” by the postmaster. The publisher has no love for these people! The opposite to this is the map who pays invariably in advance—he has a warm place in the editor’s heart! The most numerous kind is the delinquent subscriber, however. He is widely known and every publisher has them. They are forgetful of the needs of the editor. That is all! Every variety of matter is wanted by the varied list of subscribers. The man who * TKIES TO PLEASE ALL OK THEM would have the ’squires and the doctors pronouncing Him insane in short order. A newspaper man endeavors to give matter that will interest his readers as a whole. 'I his is all he can do—and when this is done he can “go in the hole and pull it in after him,” and serenely await the coming of the “kicker,” who does not like the paper or its contents. The REASONS GIVEN BY SOME PERSONS for stopping the paper are often veryqueer and sometimes funny. We remember oue man who complained of too much reading matter! Strange, wasn’t it ? and again so many complain that they are too poor to take the paper. Too poor! Who is it that can not afford TWO AND ONE-HALF CENTS per week for a paper ? Xo one. * A man once told the editor of this paper that he could not get any work out of his boys when the paper was around, and he would have to stop it. The boys were thus deprived of an educator. We were informed by a man who stopped his paper that he could not see to read, and as he and his wife had fallen out sin refused- to read for | him, and that

WHEN THEY “MADE UP lie would renew. There is the mail who promises wood or provisions on subscription ; and the editor's kitchen stove would have to be kept hot on wind oftentimes and the pantry would be lean if dependence was alone in these. But while there is much to cause trouble aud sorrow in our routine, the cloud has a silver lining' (though it is often hidden), and the cheering words from patrons makes ns hustle, and the hard cash an editor receives KEEPS THE WOLF FOUM THE l)OOK and the sheriff from taking the printing office. Though sometimes both of them come, aud all is lost! A gentleman wrote last week that his wife and family preferred the Democrat to all papers he received ; and recently a lady in an adjoining State, wrote, “Long live the Democrat,” and so on without number. Thanks! Here is the two slides of a picture the editor sees every week in the year. But, subscribers, let us inform you that_we go on printing the paper (at $1.25 per year in advance); soliciting patronage; taking sewing machines and everything else from advertisers, and wood, provisions, etc., from subscribers; skirmishing around to pay printers aud paper bills; dunning delinquent subscribers; doing job printing, etc., etc.; and admist all of these things have time to crack jokes with all callers and go to church on Sunday. District Old Settlers’Meeting. H. A. Foulks, of Vincennes, Corresponding Secretary of the Knox County Old Settlers’ Meeting, has addressed the following letter to interested parties in adjacent counties, with a view to forming a dist rict meeting of Old Settles next August: Vincennes, Ini>., Sept. 15,1885. Dear Sir; At our last annual meeting of Old Settlers, this county, there was a resolution passed looking to a district meeting next year, and for the purpose of organizing for that purpose. There will be a meeting on Wednesday of our fair, at 1 o’clock. Please place this before some of the citizens that will probably take an interest in the matter, and have a committee meet with us on said day, to take the initiaCsteps for forming said association. The district will be composed of Greene, Daviess, Pike, Gibson and Sullivan, of this State, and Lawrence, of Illinois Hoping that you will take the matter in hand, and assist in the organization, I am respectfully, H. A. Foulks, Cor. See’v. O. S. Meeting. Worth Sending for nt Once.

"Urick Pomeroy has changed the name of his paper so that it is now Brick Pomeroy's Democrat, and is publishing it simultaneously in Washington, D. C. and at 234 ii road wav. New York City. In the mod determined inanuer it opposes the Civil Service experiment, claims that the victors aie always entitled to the spoils, and that the Civil Service Commission have no rights that Democrats can afford to respect. He has reduced the price of the paper to $1 a year, which is too cheap for a firstclass large eight j>age paper, and is sending it right along to the front. It is filled each week with red hot articles and paragraphs, and is a very lively, useful, entertaining paper. Only $1 a year. Ten copies one year for *10, and a cony extra to getter up of the club. Money mighty well invested. Send for it to the New York office. Winslow a Good Station. We clip the following from the New Albany Ledger: The Petersburg (Pike county) News having published the report that the N A. & St. L. Air Line Kailwny would remove its depot front Winslow to 'Goldtltwaite, and would also contribute towards the removal of the large Hour mill from Winslow to Oakland City, the Lodger called upon Superintendent Miner, of the Air Line for a verification of these reports. “There’s not a word of truth in them,” said Mr. Miner. “The Air Line has no thought of such a foolish movement, and the publication is without foundation ” Winslow is one among the best local stations on the Air Line road. There is no quarrel between the people of that town and the officers of the Air Line. A Great Discovery. Mr. \\ m. Thomas, of Newton, la , says: “My wife has been seriously affected with a cough for twentv-five years, and this spring more severely than ever before. He had used many remedies without relief, atul being urged to try l>r. King's New Discovery, did so, with most gratifying results. The first bottle relieved her very much, and the second bottle has absolutely cured her. She has not had so good health forthirtv years.” Trial bottles free at Adams & Sou’s, Drug Store.

Typhoid Fever! 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 the strongest man in the neighborhood—the most robust in health. In November 1858, I had a long and serious spell ot' typhoid fever. II left me emaciated and a cripple in mv rigid leg. At times that limb was swollen ati enormous size, being twice as large as its natural condition, and intiamed and angry in appearance. From my knee down small sores came, and at the ankle a largo ulcer came, which discharged poisonous .’matter. Mv whole system became infected. The doctors would patch me up for awhile, but t he ulcer would never heal. The mercury and potash with which they dosed me brought an rheumatism and dyspepsia. I was an object ol pity to all my mends. Some thought that tile only hope to save my life was amputation. I continued to grow worse, and for three years I have not worn a shoe- Hope lmd almost left me. Swift’s Specific was suggested, and I commenced its rise at once. From the very first I liegan to feel better. I lravetaken thirty-six bottles,and the shadow which darkened my life for twentv-eigbt years have all berm dissipated. Tire effect of the medicine has been wonderful indeed. Today I am able to attend to all my farming interests, and walk from one to five miles per day. | am satisfied that the disease Is entires ly broken 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 all the drug store medicine preserbed by physicians did in twenty-eight years, and I most cheerfully bear th is testimony of its merits. Wm R. Hkep. Hall County, Ga., Feb. 28,188-V

From the Dissecting Room. Having taken Swift’s 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 cure after my parents haul 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., I bought a bottle, little thinking I would derive any benefit front it. I began taking it regularly, and soon the swelling began to go down and the arnr ceased to pain me. I continued its use, and after taking eight bottles was thoroughly cured. A trot? stus Wkshkl, Newark, N. J. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.
