It was a drawn battle in Indianapolis, though the Democrats made large gains. It doesu’t make much difference any liow. 1‘resideuts are now elected without Ohio. Hendricks would reform the civil service by giving the offices to competent Democrats. “Nothing is beautiful hut the truth.” There are few things possessing pulchritude. •" -.• JL • The victory to he achieved in New York will be one of unadulterated Democracy. No mugwumpism in it. The deep, rich, sandy, loamy soil of the Indiaua bottoms is well adapted* to the cultivation of the licorice plant, . which is said to ho a .very profitable product.

The area of corn in Illinois is above 7.300.000 acres. The crop will be one of the largest and best ever grown, being estimated at about 275,000,000 bushels. In 18S2 the aggregate coal" production of the United States wasfGQ,861, 000 tons, and in 1884 it was 73,731,000 tons, an increase in two years of 12,870.000 tons. Of the adult population of the United States forty-eight per cent, work for their living, and of these forty-one per cent, are agriculturists and own their land. •• The pluralities in Ohio elections for the past six years have been • as follows: In 1879, Republican, 17,129 1880, Republican, 19,005; 1881, Republican, 24,309; 1882, Democratic, 19,115; 1883, Democratic 12,529:1884, Republican, 11,232. The corn crop of the United States for this single year is greater in the number of bushels and greater in money value than all the corn we havo exported since the close of the Revolutionary War—1,900,000,000 bushels, figures an exchange. Leaukhs are made and unmade by the people. The Kvansville Courier . can not retire Hendricks and Yoorhces from the leadership when they 0 have years yet to serve in the offices to which they have been elected. “There is a destiny that shapes onr ends, rough hew them how we may.” II. W. Shaw, alias -Josh Hillings,” died last Wednesday in southern California of apoplexy. By means of shrewdness and mother wit, eked out by bad spelling and quaintness, be managed to make quite a name for himself and filled his pockets with lucre. Fun pays better than digulfied genius. To all who want a first-class newspaper, daily or weekly, we rocommend the Indianapolis Sentinel. While the Sentinel is a Simon-pure Democratic paper, it is all respects a newspaper, and its eoluinus are tilled with the cream of the news, every department being well kept up. Read the prospectus in our advertising columns. Sixteen years’ experience in charge of one of the largest institutions in Croat Britain has convinced a teacher of industrial training that boys who will have to earn their bread by the sweat of the brow ought to be taught some handicraft alternately with their school work, and that the brain and hands ought to be taught to Work in unison with each other. In the eves of the Master (here are no high, middle and low classes. They are all one. The world is furnished no grander proverb or divine axiomatic law than this. But how adverse are the laws aud actions of some people to those of divinity. Dividinglines are being stricken out however, and honesty and merit wherever found is receiving its reward.

It is asserted that the Legislature passed a bill last winter for enrolling all the soldiers of Indiana] The bill provides that assessors, in making up bills for taxation, shall also take the name, rank, company, regiment amt present post-office addresses of every Union soldier or seaman, or his widow, or children, if such survive him. Such lists are to bo returned to the county clerk, who shall keep a record of them, and furnish a duplicate to the Adjutant-Ucueral of the State. Would the Evansville Courier depose Ilendricks, McDonald and Voorhees from the leadership of the Indiana Democracy because that paper believes them Unfit to lead the party in power, but qualified to be in advance when the party was in the minority ? What kind of a policy is that ? Would a General be takeu from command after lie participated in a victorious battle,.because he was not a proper person to lead conquering hosts but could command while in deTgjtfs, and because some yoauger and ambitious man wanted the commandership !

EDUCATIONAL. Compulsory education is a failure in New York. A new edition of the school Jaw has just been issued by State Superintendent Holcombe. Not all the schools of this county have yet conveued. They will be a little longer than they were last year. Changes in the geography of some of the European States may bo made in the near future. The war paint is on over there. Educational activity :in the West is rapidly increasing, aiid the Mississippi valley will one day l>ocome the center of the literary world. It. V. Willis sent in his programme of daily exercises last week. He remembered that it was his duty to do so. He ha* an excellent programme. Each teacher should do likewise as soon as he lias his programme completed. An additional course of study for the township graded school will he arranged by the School Board in connection with the teachers. It will then be sent to those schools for use. They will also have a post graduating examination and grant diplomas for success in passing said examination. Patoka to\pr£hip institute was held last Saturday. The exercises were conducted in an excellent manner. J. h>. Grimes, chairman. They boast of a good class of teachers and well they may. They arc grading every school in the township, and if other townships do not do likewise, Eat ok a will have by far the best schools in the county. Let every school in l*ikc get up on its feet. There is now placed to the credit of the endowment fund of the State University in the State treasury, $60,000, the proceeds of a special tax. The law provides that the institution is not to have the principal, but only the five per cent, annual interest. The State officers, acting under a special law, are preparing to transfer this fund to the general fund, as a loan for the ordinary expenses of the State, and the interest to be paid from the fund to the University.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE. The above subject is one of vast importance to the teacher. The teacher should make it a business to begin to prepare the subject assigned to him ; immediately after it is assigned try to get all out of it that it contains, anil lie should study the best way to present it to the institute so as to make it of interest to all present. A teacher should remember that when he assigns a subject to a pupil, that he expects the pupil to get it so that he can recite it well. A teacher ought, under all circumstances, do everything that he requires of his pupils. How many do we see at the institute who are only lookers on and not workers ? The tiustees should look after such; not allow a few to do the work while others look on and have their time counted in with the workers. At an institute it is expected for teachers to exchange their ideas as to the best way of presenting a subject to a class; therefore they should when a subject is assigned them teach it before the institute as they do in their schools, and not come up with something prepared and outlined by the State board or some other persou than themselves. A great many outlines prepared by the State board w ill not admit of use in our schools, and 1 believe we should work to each other’s interest, and therefore give our own work and not others. These institutes can be made a benefit to teachers if all will take a part and dortheir work. It is like a class in school, if there is one drone in it the class is likely to be a drag in the school. So it is in an institute, we need all good workers. We are aware of the fact that teachers do not receive any pay directly, but they should. The superintendent and trustees receive a salary for being present. We attended an institute recently that was quite a success, and should all he if conducted proper!’ . Let us hear from other teachers. Occasional. SUTPORT TtlK SCHOOLS. From the educational Column in the Washington Gazette, we clip the following timely article on the importance of schools: “The long vacation is over. Schools in cities have been in session for nearly two months, ami those in the country are all either going or will begin next Monday. Every school in the land will soon be in fail blast, our own good Uoosicr-State, with 14,000 teachers in her employment training her 80,000 hoys mid girls, takiug the toad in education. We wish each and every school ami school teacher unbounded success in the work of educating the future citizens of the commonwealth of states. It is not on political slections now save as they affect industry that the nation’s hopes of coining glory aud long years depend, hut solely ami simply upon the schools of the laud aided by two aHies—the homo ami the pulpit. If homo is pure and inviting.. if the teachings of the Bible are heeded, and our free schools taught: by virtuous and intelligent men and women, the glory of the days Columbia yet has to live will as far outshino that of days gone by as the brilliant electric light outshines the tallow candle of our ancestors. But these conditions removed, and our country will lie plunged into a gulf of ignorance and immorality from which deatli will be the only escape. Its zenith of glory will then lie in the past, its nadir of degradation seemingly here but always in advance. So let every man support the schools. We have not endeavored to paint an extravagant picture or oucrfnte the importance of schools, but have simply stated truths which no man is willing to have tested in the erueiblc of experience.”

It scorns to us that the dates of the Knox, Daviess and Piko county fairs should all be in the same month, one immediately following the other. For instance fix the date of the Pike couuty fair the first week in September, Daviess county the second week, and Knox county the third week. This would give stock men a chance to make the circuit of the three fairs very conveniently, and they would come a greater distance under such a favorable arrangement than were the dates as they have been heretofore. Then the exhibitors would not have to come here, and from this place jump to another part of the State, and later in the season come back to neighboring fairs. We are informed by a gentleman well acquainted with all the horsemen, that such an arrangement as the above will meet with decided favor with them, and increase their attendance at the fairs.

The sable sons and daughters of the Sunny South are fresh from the cotton plantations of the t'&rollnas, the cane Itelds of Louisiana and the riee swamps of Georgia, and constitute an entirely new, humorous and at the same time instructive feature of the vast, varied and peerless public pageant made by John Uoblns.ni and his Teu Gigantic Uig New Kuropean Mammoth Shows Combined. All these negroes were old plantation southern slaves, black as crows- They appear In the grand parade elnd in the same grotesque and varied garb they wear when In their sunny homes, and seated on cotton bales, piled in an old plautatkm mule team of precisely the same nattern as is used In the South. This band of freedmen will sing, as the procession moves, with all the soulful ami weird etfeet of former surroundings, the genuine heart-stringing music of t he camp-mei-t - lugs, merry-makings and slave eablusof the south. The public, Instead of seeing white men with burnt cork faces, such us are presented In tlie Intolerable inlsi-epreseututtons upon the minstrel stage, will behold In this great street parade. In this band of freed men, a troupe of genuine old-time plantation darkles, and hear from the lips of these sable singers such quaint and original airs as— "Mary and Martha’s list gone ’long To ring deni charmin’ bells— Cryln’ free grace, und (lyin’ love— do ring dose charmin’ bells. And also the melodies of ala very da vs niton the old southern phintatlous: “lie ole bee make de honey-comb; De young bee make do honey: De niggers make de cotton an* korn, Kn do white folks gits all tie mupiiy." These and similar songs will be sung with that fervor ami gusto which makes an accurate delineation of genuine southern negro life a source of unalloyed pleasure to their while-faced brethren. Tin- sable harmonists will positively appear dally In the grand street cortege of John KoMnson when the mastodon show visits Petersburg, Nov. 7. The Successful Swindler.

An exchange says that one of the most successful swindling tricks is this: A long haiml, shaved and saintly-looking man appears toward evening with credentials purporting to show that he is agent for a church and school association, or some other benevolent institution. He asks for the locality of a leading citizen, a good many miles ofl', and, finding it is too far for him to reach, begs to be accommodated for the night. He talks, and if he can, he prays, and gets up a meeting,.perhaps securing a few dollars from the company for lus association. _ lie makes receipts for his subscriptions, and, to show the strict business methods under which be works, requires every donor to put the amonut given on the half of the receipt retained in the book, signing Ids name to it. On leaving his best in the morning he insists upon paying his bill, and takes bis. receipt as a voucher for the expense, which he is careful to say he is strictly obliged to account for. In due time all those signatures turn up at the bottom of promissory notes, which have been sold at some bauk in the neighborhood. The tine art of swindling yearly grows liner and finer, and now deserves the uame of science. Klose Rutters for the Rash. Say, why don’t you trade with us?

The Ward-Diratck Wedding. From an exchange wo copy tho following account of a happy event: “A very prominent wedding occurred Thursday morning, Oct. loth, in Princeton, the high contracting parties being Mr. John P. Ward, of Union, Pike county, Ind., ami Miss Katie Dimick, of Princeton, the marriage being consummated in the Methodist Church, the Ilev. T. H. Willis officiating. The altar was tastefully decorated with pot flowers. The ushers were Messrs. Dr. Frank Blair, W. K. Downey, Sami. II. Kidd and £dwin McCurdy, The church was tilled witli friends of the happy couple. Dr. Ward is a piomising young physician nud is enjoying a iarge practice in Union. Ilis bride is one of Princeton’s most popular young ladies, and has a number of relatives and warm friends who unite in wishing Mr. and Mrs. Ward prosperity and happiness in tho future. Immediately after the ceremony thoy left for Union, their future home.” The Democrat welcomes Mr. and Mrs. Ward to our county, and wishes them a jovous and prosperous life in the married state. Old Settlers’ District Meeting.

On last Saturday at the Knox county fair grounds an organization of the old settlers of Pike, Gibson, Vanderburg, Posey, Knox, Daviess, Greene and Sullivan counties in Indiana, and Lawrence, Wabash and Crawford counties in Illinois was effected. Each county in the district has a Vice-President, and Dr. J. It. Adams was chosen for Pike county. These meetings will bo held annually and the first one will takik place at Vinccuncs on the fair grounds, the first Thursday iu June, 1886. This organization will be exceedingly beneficial,, and will give the old settlers an opportunity to meet old friends and acquaintances. D. C. Ashby and Jacob McAtee represented this county at the organization last Saturday. Re-union Here Next Tear. At Princeton last week the 80th Indiana Regiment organized and elected Col.- Alfred D. Owen, President, and resolved to hold a reunion at Petersburg, next fall, and fixed the dates at October 7tli and 8th. The 58th and 42d Regiments and the 10th Cavalry signified their intention to attend, and likely all the regiments that participated in the reunion at Princeton and many others will be represented bore. All the ex-soldiers in the county are enthusiastic for the meeting, and it will he looked forward to with great satisfaction by all veterans. All ex-soldiers will bo invited to attend. My liver was so feart'Ully disordered and I felt so feeble and languid that I scarcely took interest iu anything. Tried all the so-called remedies without relief until I used Parker's Touic, which effected a permanent euro.— David Rash, Little Rock, Ark.

The Statute on Hunting. The attention of hunters is called to section 2110of the Revised Statutes ©f 1881, which reads as follows: "Whoever hunts with a dog, or dogs, or hunts or shoots with anv kind of fire-arms, on inclosed lands, without having first obtained the consent of the owner or occupant thereof, shall u|K>n conviction thereof, be fined in any sum not more than fifty denial's nor less than five dollars: Provided. That no prosecution shall be instituted under the provision of this section, except upon the consent of the owner of the land cutered.” “TICKET, SIR.”’ A Popular Conductor Says: I consider It my duty to Impart some very valuable Information to my friends and acquaintances, as many of them know the unpleasant eoudttlon under which I have labored In perform Inc my duties ns conductor ol the Georgia Central railroad.

II left me emaciated and a cripple in my rigid leg. At times that limb was swollen an enormous size, being twice as large as its natural condition, and intlamcdand angrv In appearance. From my knee down small sores came, und at the aukie a largo ulcer came, which discharged poisonous matter. Mv whole system became Infected. The doctors would patch me np for awhile, but the uleer would never heal. The mercury and potash with which they dosed me brought on rheitmstlsm and dyspepsia. I was an object ol pity to all my friends. Some thought that the only hope to save my life was amputation. I continued to grow worse, and lot three years I have not worn a shoo. Hope had almost left me. Swift’s Specific was sugNested, and I commenced Its use at once. 'rom the very first I began to feel better. 1 have taken thirty-six lad ties, and the shadow which darkened my life for twenty-eight years have all been dissipated. The effect ol the medicine 1ms been wonder Ail Indeed. Today I am able to attend to all my farming interests, and walk from one to five miles pei day. I am satisfied that the disease is entirely broken up, and henceforth I am to be free from those terrible apprehensions suffering which formerly made my life mist-ruble.

Having taken 'Swift’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 or dollars for treatment. Mv arm was swollen to twice its usual size, and ns nothing helped me I was despairing of evet being cured. But licaring ol the S. S.
