The Pike County Democrat has the largest circulation of any newspaper published in Pike County I Advertisers will make a note of this fhet! _ Thursday, Xoy. 5,1885. Indiana is Democratic. The elections seem to have gone—The President has issued his Thanksgiving proclamation. The pen with which Lincoln sign- ' cd the Emancipation Proclamotion was stolen in Chicago last week. “Young men to the front!” sounds well enough, politically speaking;but then the vi ung man generally gets there when the people want him. The enterprising Martin County Tribune is publishing interesting sketches of the prominent towns iu the county and the eminent citizens. Cleveland is the President during his administration. However, this fact has been noticed ere'this by those who havfe come in contact with the chief executive. The death of Rear-admiral J. C. P. DeKraft promotes Commodore John Lee Davis to rear admiral. This will be gratifyiug to Admiral Davis’ ftiendsin Indiana. Seven thousand •Democratic Postmasters have been appointed since Mr. Cleveland * became President. There are still 44,000 Republican Postmasters iu office.

New Albany dealers in fertilizers say their sales have been much heavier this fall than in any previous season. They also state that the farmers are largely increasing their acreage for wheat. _r_ EdWakd E. Coopeh, a colored postal messenger on the J. M. & I. road , who was lately arrested tor embezzlement, was not a Democratic appointee. f Tie had served 18 months and was one of the ‘•rascals’’ not yet turned out. The Democratic party is now in a position of advantage where wise, conscientious and courageous leadership might keep it fbr a quarter of a century. The whole matter of our political future depends upon whether w e-arc to have such leadership. According to facts and figures the Republicans squandered 220,747,000 acres of the people’s lands, worth 441,496,000. Until the Republican party came into power not an acre of the public lands had (ever been granted to a railroad or other corporation. Just one hundred years ago the famous General Oglethrope, founder of Georgia, died at his English house in Essex. He once said to John Wesley, equally celebrated as the founder of Methodism: “I never forgive.” “Then I hope you never sin,” replied Wesley. The Indianapolis News cites the iraportaut fact that the highest liquor license iu this State is in the Democratic city of New Albany ; the highest in the Nation in the Democratic county of Fulton, Georgia, and the highest city license iu Democratic Kansas City. Monopoly is the foe of labor and freedom. Its iron baud is^ trying4to grasp the whole earth. Where monopoly rules there is no free government and equal rights. There may be a republic, but then the tendency to feudalism is noticable. Monopoly can not exist in a government of the people. __

The New Yoik [ World says that “Teunie” Claflin” has married a Portugese of title and estate, and that Victoria Woodhull lias also made a brilliant match in England. These women have had very extraordinary careers—clairvoyants, brokers, lectur- ! ers, and at last find wealthy husbands in the old world, j The first commander of the famous Army of the Potomac, was the last of its several commanders to die. The announcement of the death of Gen. McClellan was received with profound sorrow in all parts of the United States. He was the organizer of the Army of the Potomac, whose fame will endure foroTer. • Charlie Brown was about the first Indiana township trustee to leave for Canada. The Washington Enterprise of Tuesday says: “Charlie Brown’s household goods were shipped from here Monday. Their destination was Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Sam Brown also left for that point Monday night. It is said that Sam had plenty of money a few days before he left.” The advices from the National „ Capital say the Treasury department ts busy sending small silver to all parts of the country indicate better trade among the people, and point to an area of prosperity that can not new bo far distant, __ The present demand is very similar to what occurred after the panics of 1873-4 and 1877-8, and must be regarded as a good omen.

EDUCATIONAL. \Attorney-Gen. Hord in a recent opiniuii says that the salary of a teacher in the common schools of the State can uot be garnis heed by a creditor of such teacher. Teachers should be very careful at this season of the year about the veu* tilatiou of ithok school rooms. As a general rule too much heat is kept up and the effects are more serious when winter sets in. At no time before the ground freezes should any school room be permitted to attain a higher temperature than 60 degrees. Every room should hare a thermometer. Some ask if teachers can not teach out their absence from township institutes. That is, if a teacher misses a day for which the law requires him to forfeit a day’s wages, can he teach another day more than the school term to make it up and draw his pay ? In niv opinion lie can not. The law requires every school in the township to ho of the same lengt h, and nothing else would bo strictly correct. To pay a teacher who has been absent from institute would certainly be a misapplication of fuuds and a trustee would be responsi ble for it. A trustee is uot to blame for deducting the day’s wages, because he can not help himself. lie must do it, or pay the money out of his own pocket. Staite Superintendent J. "W. Holcombe speaking of “school rights,’’ says no one can commit a meaner offense than to try to break up a school because he does not like the teacher. The school is a public institution established for the benefit of the people; and any one who does anything to impair its efficiency on account of a private grudge, violates the first duties of good citizenship. He might as well advise people not to pay their taxes because lie dislikes the treasurer, as to try to hinder his tenants or friends from sending their children to the public school because he dislikes the teacher or school authorities. Suuli conduct is beyond the reach of the law, hut should bring upon the person guilty of it the contempt of all good mcu. The secessionists left the union because their candidates were not elected. This is the same spirit manifested in small matters.

Live merchants like a live town. Nothing speaks better for the enterprise and intelligence of a community than to see the local papers well supported and filled with fresh interesting announcements from its business men. It should be a matter of pleasure as well as of pride on the part of merchants and dealers to give a geuerous support to tho local press, which at large expense of money and labor brings the daily report by telegraph of the world, and gathers up for its readers the local news of the community. These papers speak for the town to the outside world and are regarded as an index of the spirit and enterprise of its people. No man who advertises judiciously in the newspapers ever misses his reward. Take the country oyer and the successful business men, as a rule, are liberal advertisers. Fkom the Indianapolis News we learn that when Gen. Kuefler became pension agent in this State the agencies at Ft. Wayne, Madison and Indianapolis were consolidated into one. There were then only 13,000 pensioners in Indiana and the annual disbursements amounted to $1,400,000. Now there are 25,000 pensioners and over $6,000,000 is paid out annually, besides $3,500,000in arrearages. Gen. Knefter thinks that there will be 35,000 names on the pension rolls before the end is readied, as they are increasing very rapidly. Since Gen. Black came into office more than one thousand names have been added. The salary of the pension agent in this State is $4,000 a year. Gen. Kneflcr wrote to the departmental Washington some days ago, asking that bis successor should be appointed by "Nov. 25, the end of his term, so that lie would not have to pay out over $1,-' 000,000 at the beginning of his successor’s term. -

[Harrisburg Patriot.] Last year the Republican plurality in Ohio was nearly 32,000.

INTERVIEW WITH HON. WM. F. TOWNSEND,

His Observations of Hen and Matters—Civil Service Reform, The President, Etc. One day last week the rcportorial pump was applied to Mr. Townsend, after his return from Washington City, with the following excellent result: “Mr. Townsend, how did you eujoy your trip to the Capital ?” “Excellently. It ati'orded me an opportunity for "observing a considerable sectiou of our country which I had only known from geographical description. Along the route traveled there- are many places of historical note, aud among them is Harper's Ferry; a little, quaint, old town, nestling down between vast mountains, on the banks of the Potomac 'river, winch at that point is a very unsightly stream. I saw the old building where John Brown, of Ossawatamie, made his last armed appeal in behalf of the dusky children of bondage. The scene recalled to mind the pophetic declaration of the poet, made shortly after his execution— “There is no spot six feet by two Can hold a man like tlice; John Brown will tramp this shaking earth, From Blue Ridge to the sea.’* The natural scenery in portions of Pennsylvania and also in West Virginia, "must certainly rival Switzerland, tv here a blast from it shepherd’s horn wakes a thousand echoes and gives to her mountains and valleys voices of entrancing melody. It is so wild, weird that every romantic feeling is put upou the wing.” “What no you think of Washington ?” “In some respects it must be matchless. The public grounds are enchantingly beautiful, and the public buildings" are superb. It would seem that every grace aud elegance that lavish expenditures of money could create may be found there. But the grounds there struck me as being the only thing wherein other cities are surpassed. Of course this opinion is given in comparing it with other cities aud not as the seat of a great government. There are Departments there where a thinking person could spend whole months, and never weary with the study of the objects and things contained in them.” “It has been said that you went to Washington to secure an appointment under the administration.” “That is a mistake. I sought no place either for myself or any other person. I had business connected with one of the Departments there, aud accomplished my mission so far as that is concerned. I may say, however, that if I had gone there with something of that kind in view my hopes would have been frost bitten the lirst night iu that frigid civil service region. The official mercury there has been constantly falling for the past three mouths, and it started at the freezing point at tnat.” Multiplied thousands of applications from worthy and deserving Democrats are reposing in pigeon holes above desks occupied by republicans or mugwumps. The city government is yet under management of officials appointed by the outgoing administration, while in each of the many Departments may be found a small army of republican clerks. This state of affairs is very unsatisfactory to Dcmecrats who have a right to expect that the party gaining tire victory is entitled to every honoi'able advantage which that triumph has won. It is true that many changes have been and will be made, but at the present rate of appointment when the four years shall have expired notone half of the places will be tilled by members of our party. It may be that future developments will demonstrate the wisdom of this course, but I am unable to see it iu that light. “Then yon are not friendly to the civil service law ?” “Not as it is being construed and carried out. I think it is liumbuggery gone to seed. It is perfectly consistent with common sense and sound government, to have the merit test applied to every person entrusted with the discharge of public duties, but that test may be given inside, as well as outside of party lines. I f one member is lacking iu any one of the essential qualifications for the place sought, some others of the same political faith may be found who are not wanting. What estimate would be placed on the military reputation of a General who would knowingly engage an army of equal numbers, tactics, etc., when one half of his Colonels, threefourths of his captains and inferior officers and seven tenths of his men were bound by every natural aud partisan consideration to aid iu the triumph of the opposin gforces? lie would be denounced as a muckloheaded idiot. Defeat would compass that General as surely as a given cause will produce a given effect. Well, now! a Democratic president was elected last fall for the first time in twenty-five years. Among the charges sustained by the people at the polls was that long tenure of office is dangerous to the welfare of a government like ours. It was successfully argued to the voters that there was much official delinquency which needed airiug. Now, that Democratic president will need the full aud hearty co-oper-ation and support of every official charged with the performance of a duty under the government over which he presides. What can he reasonably expect to accomplish when seven tenths of the agents entrusted with the execution of his plans and the conduct of the country’s affairs are impelled by every political consideration to use their utmost endeav*

urs IU III itKU U1UI UUI111IUM1UUU11 odisus. The view I have of these matters in noway antagonizes the Jeffersonian inquiry touching the honesty and capabilities of each candidate for place.’’ “flow does the President and his Cabinet impress you ?” “I had but very lew minutes iu which to observe him as there were many callers, and each of them pressing for a word with him. I think that all of the pictures I have seen of him flatter the original. His face is so large and fleshy that unless aside view is taken it gives the upper portion of the head a contracted appearance. He hasn’t that cultivated, relined expression of face which Vice President Hendricks possesses, but the facial make-up shows self-posses-sion and firmness in a marked degree. After looking at him for a moment I concluded that it he had conceived the notion of having things his own way, that time and agravation would be saved by having it so. His manners are easy aud his address open and cordial. He shakes hands in the good old hearty way that iis reassuring to one in these aristocratic times. His Cabinet, as is now well known, is made up of men who are thoroughly equipped for the work assigned them; and men too who rank high in the estimation of the public and in the councils of the party.” “Did you hear any serious talk about the Senate at its next session

opposing the appointments made by the President ?’’ “There is some talk of that kind going the rounds up there, but I did not get it from any one in authority or who were likely to understand the line of policy to be pursued by the Republican side of the Senate. It occurs to me that they have occasion to feel profoundly grateful to the administration for leaving so very many of their political persuasion iu office.” “What measures will, in your opinion, chiefly engage the attention of Congress at its coming session ?” “I have no better means of knowing that than yourself; aud it is probable that your own opinion with reference thereto would be worth more than mine. You know that the question as to whether the coinage of silver shall be continued or discontinued v ill come iu for a very considerable share of attention. There has been and is now a vast amount of newspaper speculations and a general airing of opinions on the question. It seems to be conceded on all hands that Carlisle will be his own successor, and of course ills convictions will be reflected in the selection of the committee on coinage. When that is accomplished the legislation thereon can be guessed and with a fair degree of certainty. The solution of the problem will be far reaching in its effects, and will, I am confident, receive such attention as its importance demands. It is likely also that legislation will be set on foot for the reformation of the tariff.

A MOTHER'S DREAM. [Written for the Democrat by a member of the Wilson Dramatic Company.] The busy world had sank to sleep, The twinkling stars ou high Their vigils through the long night keep, And gentle zephyrs sigh. The wild notes of the woodland birds Have ceased, all’s calm and still; And childish prattling, simple words, Are left to dream at will. A mother at the beside kneels Beside her darling boy; Her heart is breaking, for she feels She’ll ne’er again know joy. With death-like tick the hours steal on; The room is dark and drear, And in the darkness kneels alone— There’s naught her life can cheer. She feels that life is ebbing fast— My God t Will day ne’er come. Oh! must ray boy thus breathe his last, Must angels take him home. God spare my child till morning’s light, That 1 may once more see Those heaven-blue eyes, that once so bright, Have looked so ott on me. Yes, still the hours move slowly on; Still darker grows the room, And mother-like she prays the dawn May soon dispel the gloom. She offers up a silent prayer To that great throne above, Beseeching God her child to spare— The offspring of her love. Scarce had she uttered that silent prayer To him who reigns on high, When her baby’s voice spoke,swe»t and clear “Mamma, what makes you cry?” She pressed her darling to her heart; The sun’s bright golden beams Stole thro’ the blinds and healed the smart— ’Twas but a mother’s dream! -[R.

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 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 was swollen an enormous size, being twiee as large as its natural condition, and inflamed and angry In appearance. 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 me 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. Some 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 sugfested, and I commenced its use at once. 'rom the very first 1 began to feel 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 tile medicine has been wonderful indeed. Today I am able to attend to all my farming Interests, and walk from one to flve miles per 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 miserable, Swift's Specific lias done more for meinour year than all the drug store medicine preserbed by physicians did In twenty-eight years, and I most cheerfully bear this testl-% niony of its merits.

Having taken Swtfl’s Specific for blood Soison contracted at a medical College at a issection, while I was a medical student, I am grateful to say that it gave me a speedy and thorough cure after iny parents lmd spent hundreds of dollars for treatment. My arm was swollen to twice its usual sixe, and as nothing helped me I was despairing of ever bellii cured, llut hearing ot the S. 8. S., I 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 eoptlnued its use, and after taking eight bottles was thoroughly cured. Augustus Wkndel, Newark, N. J. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free. The Swif*e8pkciftc Co., Drawer 3, Atlanta.
