THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE, “ j Not beiii" delivered to Congress until i Tuesday, it is impossible to print it this wcjek, but the full text of the able document will be given in our next issue. Read it then ; it is full of meat. The Liberals will have a clear majority in the English Parliament. Paste this in your bat : The official plurality of Governor Hill, of New York, is 11,681. Gex. Black, Commissioner of Pensions, is mentioned for Vice-President in 1888. A good selection. « r— ■ _ John Sherman is PresidenC-pro tempore of the United States Senate— acting Vice-President of the United States. Mrs. Albert G. Porter died at Indianapolis, "’TTirttu. She was a lady of unusual refinement and a universal favorite. Subscriptions for a monument to Thomas A. Hendricks are being received in the cities of the State. A noble purpose. CoNtiREss met at noon Monday, and after organizing adjourned until Tuesday out* of respect to the late VicePresident Hendricks.

Mov. ABBE-rr says xevt Jersey is certain for 8,000 or 10,000 Democratic majority at next year’s election, and that the Democrats will gain a United States Senator. ' Ci.kvki.and is carefully and gradally weeding out Republican officeholders and putting in, their places competent Democrats. This is the acme of civil service reform. The Governor has appointed Dr. E. II. Pritchard, of Indianapolis, State Veterinarian, and upon him will devolve the duty of enforcing the proclamation against infected cattle. , IIox. John G. C’aklisi.k was unanimously re-elected Speaker by the Democratic caucus Saturday, and.the House wiH again have a line parliamentarian to preside during its Fortyninth session.

Tub candidatesJbr the State offices arc being pretty generally named. There is a prospect for a large number of entries in the race. We bog leave to state that Sbutljgrn Indiana will have some.,excellent entries, and will no doubt secure a prize. With a Senate led bv John Logan, opposing the President's appointments, Cleveland will show that lie Inis sufficient backbone. Wo opine that Mr. Logafi and his Republican colleagues will find this out before they have proceeded far. Wnits there are visions of anarchy in the rttinds of imaginative people, they should net forget the memorable uttcranco of the lamented Garfield during the troublous times about twenty years ago; ‘-God reigns, and the’ government at Washington still lives.” cited above, bocotr 4 of these United St The constitution of the United States says: “The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no vote unless they be equally divided.” Xow fho Senate chooses from one of their number a President pro tempore who after tfic death or inability of the Vice-President of the United States, presides over the Senate, votes on all questions, and succeeds to the Presidential chair in case of the removal or disability of the President of the United States. A Vice-President-elect therefore can not vote only when the Senate is a,tic. The President pro tempore of the Senate, (acting Vice-President of tiro States) however, ean vote ou all questions; but of course has oiily one vote, and having once voted in alphabetical order can not vote again should the vote be a tie. It is understood that the rigid of a Senator to vote is conferred by the State from which ho is elected, and that power is not diminished or increased by his election as President pro tempore of the Senate. However, iu view of the precedent that a mfti can not be Senator and Vice-President ait the same time, how is this sentence in the constitution to be construed: “Xo person holding any office under the United States shall be a member olfoitlier House during his continuance in office.” Then a United States Senator is not Vice-President, ami is not eutitled to the salary of (he office, as wo have noticed in sqme of our exchanges, for he can not hold an office uuder the government and be a member of the Senate or House at the same time. The President pro tempore of i the Senate is nominally the VicePresident— nothing elso — and succeed* to the Presidency in case of the executive's death, removal or disability. We hnvo a Vice-President in ** i. —“•* ’ - “ aircum-j noting until

PENSION ALL SOLDIERS. The time is fast arriving, if it lias not already arrived, when it is the duty of. the government to pension every soldier who served in the war, and who survives. The laws as they now standmake it vtPfy hard for the most deserving survivors to obtain pension*. The affidavits of an officer cannot be readily obtained, even if the officers are alive, and in many cases the officers who knew circumstances of a wound or injury arc dead, or have removed to some remote place. In many eases injury that was so trilling twenty years ago' that a soldier’s tentmate did not know of it, has become a burden that is almost unbearable, and the soldier should have a pension, but unless he can prove that doctors prescribed for him, and that company officers were familiar with the circumstances, the soldier fails to ge t his pension. Many officers arc to-day racking their brains to try and remember some incident in the career of a soldier whose name is almost forgotten, that they may make an affidavit without lying, that will benefit the man in his application for relief. If an officer is conscientious, and does not wish to swear to something that he cannot recall to save his life, injustice is liable to be done to a brave soldier, and the soldier liable to think his old officer is mean, not to try and help him. This condition of things places thousands of officers in very unenviable positions. They want to do the fair thing by old comrades, but they do not want to swear to a lie, by claiming to remember things that they never heard of until the> received letters of inquiry from comrades that bad been almost forgotten. Either soldiers who are deserving of pensions must fail to receive them, or officers must become star liars. Now, to do justice all around, and give late officers a chance to bold up their beads and look their < Id soldiers in the face without trying to remember something that occurred twenty years ago, that they never heard of, the government should decide to do justice to all the men who served it in time of need. There are bills before Congress that cover the ground, and they must become laws. The Sun will work as best it may, in print and by personal effort of its editor, for the passage of such bills, until the law is on the statute book, which permits all old soldiers to go up to the paymasters and receive their regular salary as long as they live. The government can stand it without hardship, and it is due the soldiers. With such a law a soldier need not feel that he is a criminal, attempting to Introduce his hand into the treasury in the dark. As it is now the first move a soldier makes far a pension, lie is spotted, and looked upon by the government officials as a .confidence man. They try to prove that he is not as bad off as he asserts, neighbors who may not like him, can he found to swear that he is the healthiest man in town, he is laughed at because he has just discovered, alter twenty years of active life, that he was disabled years ago and didn’t know it, and if he finally succeeds in getting a few dollars a month ho is liablejlo-be pointed at as one who lias come it on the government, by false swearing. With such a feeling as sometimes exists about a soldiery drawing a pension, where lie lives, many had almost rather starve than to receive it. If a man is all knocked to pieces, and so crippled that all can see, there is not much kicking ahtfut his receiving a pension, but if lie looks as well as ordinary citizens,"though his liver may be cut in tvyo, his bowels tied up in a double bow knot, his lungs half gone, and nothing about him whoile except his gall, there will be a feeling in the community that his drawing a pension is a piece of favoritism, brought about by fraud, and that lie is i so much ahead of Uncle Sam. (Jive the boys all a pension, freely ; make them feel as though they deserved every cent of it, and not try to euchre them out of it when they get it, and every citizen with a soul will feel happier, and the boys will feel moro like training up their children to he ready to j ump into a uniform and grab a gun in case of an alarm iii the future. From this out the Sun will favor a general pension law that will make the old soldiers feel as though the Lord was on their side.—Peek's Sun.

The gifted editor of the Sun has touched a leading string iu the groat patriotic heart. Multiplied thousands of men who nobly wore the blue aro slowly sinking to their graves from disabilities contracted ou the tented field, and yet are unable to secure a pension on account of failure of memory in officers and surgeons,-or because they endured the results of wars frightful exposures iu silence. If the gates wore thrown wide open and the remnant of that gallant army which drowned secession with its blood1 were gathered to tho protecting arms of the country they saved, the whole civilized world would shout iu chorus, that our Republic at least was not ungrateful. If this weredone a vast nimyif officials employed by tho government outside of the regular pension department at Washington,.could be dispensed with and the sum of their salaries would go far toward making up the amount required to pay the unpensioned soldiers. The Democrat joins hands with the Sun iu its laudable undertaking and pledges every support within its power to eulist iu that direction. Din Hover occur to parcuts,says an exchange, that it is a duty they owe their children to visit the public schools at least once a torn*. Show that you feel an Interest in the school, become acquainted with the teachers, let them know more of your children than they see in the school room. You would not eomiirt thy care of your favorite horse for six hours a day to a stranger without learning something of him or her. Thou why not bo as particular about your children? Tub statement, copiod.from the Indianapolis News, that Joseph K. McDonuld is tho only living ccc-Senator of Indiana, is a mistake, which was overlooked at tho time the article was taken from tho News. lion. Graham N. Fitch served from 1867—1861; lion, David Turpm a few months iu 1863; Mr. McDonald's term being from 1875 to 1881, when ho was succeeded by lion. Benjamin Hartt&n.

I*1KE COUNTY’S NAMESAKE, General/. M. Pike—History Well Worth lieiueutberiug. That Pike county was organized in the year 1817, anti named after Gen. Z. M. Pike, who was killed April 27, 1S13, is well known to the old settler and the student of history. It will not be amiss, however, to quote in this connection a paragraph from Bid path’s History of the United States, that recites the events in the war of 1812, in which General Pike took parti and the engagement wherein the brave General, after whom our county is named, lost his life. Detailing the maneuvers of General Harrison’s armies in the north in the, year 1818. the history says: “On the 2oth of April, lSlil, General Dearborn, com* manding-thc army of, the centre, embarked bis forces at Snckett’s Harbor, near the eastern extremity of Lake Ontario. The object of the expedition was to capture Toronto, the capital of upper Canada. Here was the mod important depot of supplies in British America. The American licet under Commodore Chauney had already obtained the mastery of the lake, so that Dearborn's passage was unopposed. On the 27th of the month a force of seventeen hundred men commanded bv General Pike, was lauded within two miles of Toronto. At the waters edge they were met by the British. The Americans drove the enemy for a mile aud a half, stormed a battery and rushed forward to carry the main defences. At that moment the British magazines blew up with terrific violence. The assaulting column was covered with the debris of the explosion. Two hundred men were killed or wounded. General Pike was fatally injured, but lived long enough to hear the shout of victory; for the Amei Scans first shocked then maddeued by the calamity, made a furious charge and drove the British out of town. * * Property to the value of a half million dollars was secured to the victors.” A Changeable Domestic Life. From one of the out townships comes a curious story of domestic infelicity. A gentleman who docs not visit towu often, gave us the following details of a comedy-drama in true life, the last act of which occurred a few months ago. A few years ago the chief male character in this realistic story was sent to the penitentiary for a short term, leaving a wife aud children behind. The deserted spouse soon found another husband to take the place of the departed/ one whose forced absence she soon forgot. Whths husband No. I was in prison 4fto woman lived happily with husband No. 2, and the smooth current of domestic joy was undisturbed. (The scone changes.) The first husband returned from prison, and induced his partner of former years to again join him ill the journey through life. The old flame was rc-kindled, and she went baek to husband No. 1, whenShe remained for some time when a ehange again came over her dream of life, and she returned to the home of husband No. 2. She soon regretted leaving husband No. 1, and longed again to bo back to her first love. (Again the scene changes!) Husband No. 1 again claimed the wayward wife, anti together they flew to a dlstant Btatij, leaving husband No. 2 to mourn tn£ varied ways of married life, Which (for tricks that are vain) lie thinks peculiar. (The curtain Tails on this, the last act.)

Cancer Cured Mi-s. Oliver Hardman, an old resident of Walton county, and a lady of culture and prominence, lias this to say of tile t rent meat of cancer with Swift's Specific: Over liftceu .veal's ago a cancer made its appearance oh my faee. It "was treated with plasters, and the core came out. The place healed up after some time, and seemingly my face was well. However, in a. few years it returned again with more violence than ever. It gave me a grout deal of pain.. The former remedy seemed to do it no good. Knowing the disease to ran in the family, having had one sister to die with cancer, 1 becum. seriously apprehensive of my condition. It continued to increase in sire and virulence. I almost gave up alt hope of ever being cured. The physicians advised the use or the knife ami caustic. Tills was more than I could hear, and refused to have If operated upon in that way. All other remedies were used, but the cancer continued to grow worse. The pain was excruciating, and my life wasa burden. Iu this extremity my son, Dr. llards man, recommended me to try Swtft’sSneeiflc. it was the last resort, hutT was so prejudiced against tile use ot patent medicines, mid especially tilts one, that i hesitated some time. At last 1 gave my consent, not believing there was any virtue in it. The first bottle only increased the sire of thesorennd discharge from it, and hems' did not inspire me with any hope. .On taking ttie second bottle there were signs of Improvement, and my faith .strengthened just in proportion. I used tin* Specific us a wash in the treatment of mv cancer with remarkable success. I sponged the sore witti the medicine diluted with a little water. It softened the scab, cooled the fart1 and relieved the itching sensation. The spot on my face began to decrease, as well as-the discharge, and hopo sprang up In my heart. Could It be, 1 asked myself, that I was at last, to lie relieved of tills disease? It has given mesomanv dark hours In the past that the idea of being well again almost overpowered me. There was a contest between hope ami fear for a long time. It was a long night of weeping, hut Joy came with the morning. Than is nothing left to mark the place hut a small scar, ami I feel that it is impossible for me to express my gratitude for this great deliverance. It is a wonderful medicine. Mas.
