There are 948.000 more women than men in Great Britain. Secretary Manning has made another bond call for $101000,000. If the world owes a man a living, he must earn it Idleness deserves no reward. Eight Republican 8008101*8 are said to have Presidential bees buzzing in their bonnets. They are busy bees, too. The Indiana Supreme Court has decided that the law limiting the rental for telephones to three dollars a month is constitutional. Gen. Hancock died a poor man. Honost men never • row rich out of the opportunities afforded by army positions or poll ties. Twenty-nine foreign landlords own more acres of laud in the United States than there is in »U Ireland, and the evil is increasing daily. The Daviess County Democrat of last week contained a well written aud lengthy description of the utiniug industries of Daviess county. Utvino Generals should let dead Goncrals rest. lUiero is too much writing about the doings of the dead by their comrades iu arms. It is uugrateful to say the least. Let us hare a permanent rest.

The Republican party ‘‘protected” our foreign shipping out of existence and ruined the commerce of the country. And this is only ono of the many grave charges that cau be made and sustained against the policy of “protection that doesn’t protect.” The business reports for last week In general show 'hotter trade and iuewasing activity. Chicago shows a hc^Uhfui. -increase in_tbe volaipc _of -^aales over those at the corresponding period last year. It appears to be generally held, however, that spring trade will not open before March 1. y - ■ -1 / „ John B. Gough, the famous tern* \ perance lecturer, died at Philadelphia on the 18th. During the first vear as a public speaker, Mr. Gough made 5183 .speeches, and since his first lecture 4nd up to the beginning of the present rear he appealed before the public 8,567 times. As a fair estimate he has spoken before 8,000,000 peoplo and has traveled over 450,000 miles in meeting his appointments. ^ The Pike couutv Democratic convention instructed the district for W. f. Townsend for Congress.—[Rockport Eagle. If Pike county could insliuct the •district for Mr. Townsend it would speedily be done. But the county, as conventional body, did all it could «lo, for by acclamation, it instructed the delegates to vote as a unit for M1, Townscud, and use all honorable meaus to secure lus nomination.

Tut Fitz John Porler bill, reinstating hint in the army, passed the Uoueo of Representatives last Thursday, by yeas 171. nays 113. Whether It can go through the Senate is the question, but the probability is that it will. Gem Porter’s case has been gaiuiug ground -since Gen. Grant took bis stand for him, and Gen. McClellan manifested a warm interest therein. Gob. Hancock also favored the bib. At t L it thfjStjatef at rndians ate Encampment -of the G. napolis last week Thos. of Richmond, Ind., -was chosen commauder on the first ballot, receiving 300 votes as against 105 for Gil. R. Stormont, bis chief-competitor. For representative at the national enoampmeut, this and the adjoining district have the following: First district—Wm. Warren; alternate, Gil. R. Stormont. Second—William D. Lewis; alternate, S. B. A.

COXUIIKSSWAX Cuteheou, (Republican) of Michigan, who would keep alive the worst memories of the war, and who is the man Gen.

WKIWBir THE WBPfrm The Indianapolis Neve cells atteu* tion to the startling fleet that noire thee half the formers la die Uailed States do not owl the land they work; and proves it by official figures. And in addition we may My that many forme in mortgaged heavily. For years the large land owner has been getting more, and the small land holder seee his possessions dwindling away. It is the old story of the rich getting richer and the poor poorer. Where is the remedy ? The farmer, the laborer, the mechanic cau get his legal righ ts—honest and just laws for the many aud not for a wealthy few—bir putting true representatives of their interests in legislatures and in Congress. Will the laborer do this, or will he continue to be the prey of the hypocritical hybrid and dastardly demagogue, masking under the guise of respectability, but who would sell his vote for & song, and steal the livory of heaven to serve the devil in. We are glad to see evidences that the laborer is awakening to the realisation of what is best for him, and is placing representatives of his interests where they can legislate for him. The day wheu the Gou'lds corrupt legislatures aud buy Congressmen and Senators is happily passed: The conservative labor organisations are doing a great work to bring about many needed reforms in the business, as well as the legislative world. Let the good work go on. UNCLE SAX’S FAUX. Uncle Sam is the largest farmer iu the world. His operation*! are as follows : “The area of corn iu the United States in 1885 was 73,000,000 acres, of wheat 34,000,000, of oats, 23,000,000. The value of corn averages nearly 33 cents per bushel and makes an aggregate of 1636,000.000, 85,000,000 less than the value of the last crop. The decrease in .the product, of wheat is 30 per cent, and only 17 per cent, in valuation which is 8275,000,000. The valuation of oats is 8180,000,000. The reduction of wheat is mostly in the valley of the Ohio and in California. The States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas, last year, produced 100,000,000 bushels, this year 80,000,000. The production of all serials is 53 bushel to each inhabitant and the aggregate volume is larger than auy former yc»r.

MR. MORRISON’S HILL. Under the simple title, “a bill to re duoe tariff taxes,” Mr. Morrison has succeeded in getting a loiijg looked for measure before Congress. It is per* ■hapa not so strung a law as Democrats generally had expected and desired, hiut Mr. Morrisou has doubtless proceeded upon the idea that it would be better to accomplish partial results than to risk everything. The bill adds a number of articles to the free list, and reduces present rates upon others sufficiently to bring down the entire volume of reveuue about twenty millions of dollars. There seems to be no reason why even Mr. Randall can net support this bill. At last there seems a prospect of at least a partial reduction in the war taxes by which the country has so long been unnecessarily burdened. Politics in Daviess county seem to bo boomiug this early iin the yeai, and the Democrat, with iits usual enterprise, has published a full list of the candidates for the various offices. Among the uames, familiiar to us, we notice that of James C. ILaveile, who is a candidate for re-electi on to the office of Auditor. If competency, accuracy aud neatness in the management of the affairs of his office, combined with the social qualities that Mr. Lavelle possesses, are considered by the people of Daviess county, he will be unanimously renomiuated aud re-elected next November by a large majority. His records are among the best in the State, and hiu familiarity with the details of the office has caused him to be employed in adjoining counties in expert investigation »f the books of county officials. Besides, Mr. Lavelle is a hustler, from Rustlervillc, and is a true Democrat; with his energy and activity he gives strength to a ticket. The writer has known Mr. Lavelle for years, and we know whereof we speak In thiaoouueetioa. Hun ah for Lavelle!

The time may haviP>>eeii when the present system of choosing United States Senators was a necessity and the best that could them be devised, hut that time has passed. Under present conditions, no advantage can tie-claimed for such a cumbrous and unpopular system that is not more than counter-balanced by the maniMd disadvantages of having in a government machine a body possessing an absolute veto, which cannot be reached by the people except by the slowest and most uncertain methods. The Statetfwhich voted fur Cleveland in 1884, bad a population of over 27,000,1)00, while the 'States that voted against him had a population of only 22,000^)00. And yet, under the present system of State representation in the Senate, the opposition to the President has altsolute control of twenty Statee, with one Senator, each, from several others. The method of choosing Senators is both unfair and nnfuat; it ahould be changed. Cokoekssman llsuhacV, of Kausas, prefaced a recent speech with ike declaration “'bat ike Democratic party haa never built school houses, aud this man Han back wjjl find Ut this houses

EDucmesiL. The schools la Patoka township are 117 days long this year. Pfot W. W, Parsons, president of the State Normal School, will be one of tha workers at the next teachers’ Institute held in this oountv. Pike county employs one hundred and thirtecu school teachers. Who will say the teachers of Pike county can not effect almost anythlug they may want ? Politically, they hold the balance of power in this couuity. Most teachers are disposed to be honest, and do not organizo their power t;o the in* jure of any one. Considering the great disadvantage at which the schools of Logan township commenced, they were evidently a great success. No one deserves more credit for this than Mr. Clem and his well selected corps of teachers. The County Superintendent spent nearly two weeks in Logan, aud has expressed himself well satistied with the work done there. Indianapolis limes: A Florida gentleman, who resides at Pensacola, has written several letters to the department of instruction of this State, asking for a qualified teacher to come to his state. For six month’s services he offers forty acres of the best Florida land. But as the value of this land is uot known ta most Indiana school mistresses he has had few applications for the position. The Southern Indiana Teachers’ association will meet in Vincennes March 24, 25 auit 26th. All teachers iu the couuty who possibly can should attend this meeting. Reduced rates have been secured on the railroads and the hotels. E. A. Bryan, of Vincennes is .chairman of the executive committee and will gladly answer all communications. The program will be out in a few days. Examinations for graduates from the Common Schools of Pike county, were held on last Thursday and Friday, at Ceuter school in Logan township, and at Bowman’s school in Madison township. Examination was to have been held at Spraggiin’s school in Marion, <on Saturday last. The weather and ill health prevented it. The examination iu that township will bo held in March, at a time yet to be decided upon.

rroi. t. ji. talking on primary reading, says: “Methods aro of little value without a knowledge of the principles underlaying then!. Primary conception and ideas arc best taught objectively, giving first the idea aud then the words. Words must bo taught as a whole—first as sounds, and then as forms^ words should tUeu Iks combined into groups and sentences. Alter pupils are able to read short sentences the analysis of words into sounds should follow, and then the uames of the letters. The County Superintendent received the following fh>m J. A. Aliuon, principal of the township graded school of Monroe towuship: “School closed Friday, the 12th inst. The school is in good shape for a successful teim next year. We held monthly examinations, and we attribute the unusually good interest to them. The schools of this township wore all the best ever taught in the township." Our Superintendent tells us that Mr. Altuou’s statemei t is not at all over drawn. Toward the close of the debate of the Fit* John Poter case, an exciting scene occurred in the House. Gen. Bragg, of Wisconsin, had made a brilliant speech in favor of the bill, after which Representative Cutcheom of Michigan, accused him of some false statements. In a moment then* was a general uproar, in tllte midst of which aRepublican ruffian by the name of Brumnt, front Pennsylvani, tried to draw a revolver. It is not quite clear whom ho intended to shoot, but order was restored before any blood was shed. The speech of Representative Curtin, Pennsylvania’s old war governor, was thrillingly dramatic and eloquent. In response to a. taunt that Porter was disloyal, he said with great emphasis: ‘If Porter was a traitor, so was Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts : Horace Greeley, of New York, sad myself, who reviewed the Porter oase after the trial, and we then bore testimony to his loyalty an a citisen and bravery as a soldier. Wilson and Greeley are dead, but if any man wants to call me a traitor, 1 invite him to thecorWiors to do so ” No one invited him out, and the debate was followed by a rote which showed sixty majority for the bill.

Good times areeommg! Telegrams from all parts of the country aro full of encouragement. Among these forerunners of goo<l times, we notice that the cotton mills of New Bedford, Concorii, Manchester and Lowell, Mass., have ordered a general advance of ten per cent, in wages from March 1. Tho Assabet Manufacturing Company, woolen goods manufacturers, who employ about one thousand hands, have given notice that wages ',5H be advanced ten per cent, on Maim t. The two thousand men employed in ‘be 1‘hjladelphiti ami Beading Railroad i^Npnuy shops at iicading, Pa., have been notified that an increase in wages iu all departments would be made on March 1.

/ KINDER PARK. ^ A Missing Man Discovered ou a Farm Near Velpen. Kinder Park, an Orange county farmer, was reported to have been murdered, or to have perished in a blizzard about January 22, near Boston, Crawford county, on the Air Lino Railroad. Ufttil a few days ago his whereabouts was a mistery to ft is Orange and Crawford county acquaintances aid relatives, who result in neighboring eonnties. Park lias now turned up, quietly imrsuing the vocation of forming iit Marion township, this county, near Vellum. A correspondent alludes to the case as follows: “J. AV. Davidson, of A'elpcn, writes an exchange under date of February 15, that Kinder Park, the man who mysteriously disappeared from his home near Newton Stewart, S Orange county, several weeks ago. and was thought to hare been murdered, between Boston, Crawford county, and Riceville, on the Air Line Railroad, is not dead, as supposed, hut is now at work for a former two miles from Velpen. Mr. Davidson states that Park gave out that ali his family had died and he was alone in the world and desired a change of location. The truth is, however, that Park deserted a most estimable wife and family, his oldest daughter, a young lady of seventeen years, being so prostrated by the shock of his cruel desertion that for two or three weeks she was confined to her bed,hVr spirit barely lingering between life and death. As published two weeks ago, many of Park’s neighbors scouted the idea that lie had been murdered or Ijerished in the January blizzard, lieMoving he had tired of his family and deserted them.’'

NEWSPAPER NOTES. The “Pocket” can boast of many excellent newspapers. o* It is currently reported that the defunet Winslow Herald is to be revived. There are ISO newspapers in the United Statos printed b* colored men. The Princeton Democrat has recently been much improved, locally. The Shelby Democrat is simon-pure, “all wool and a yard wido and wove under water.” F. C. Brown will soon launch the Greene Countv Republican in the journalistic sea. The Indianapolis News is bright, brief and brimful of the cream of the news—an ideal newspaper, to be sure. That superior newspaper, the Louisville Courier-Journal, is represented in our advertising columns. Read the prospectus and subscribe. Bruner-Simoasea. David A. Bruner, of this place, and Miss Flora Simonson, of Edwardsport, were marrifd at Vincennes, on Wednesday, the 17th, by the Rev. E. P. Whallon, of the Presbyterian Church, at the parsonage. Mrs. Bruner is the daughter of one of Knox county's wealthiest, citizens and an agreeable and winsome lady. Mr. Bruner’s friends have been showeriug congratulations upon him. They arrived Thursday and immediately proceeded to Mr. Bruner’s pleasant home on Sixth street. The Democrat wishes them bappiuessand prosperity. Better stop your cough while you cau.

CancerCured Mrs. Oliver Hardman,-an old resident ot Walton county, and a lady of culture and prominence, has this to say of the treatment of cancer with Swift’s Sped tie; Over lift eon years ago a eancer made Its appraranee on my face If 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 greet deal of pain. The former remedy seemed to do It no good. Knowing the disease to run In the family, having had on* sister to die with oaueer, I heearni . seriously apprehensive of my condition. It continued to Increase in size and virulence. I almost gave up all hope of ever1 being cured. The physicians advised the use of the knife and caustic. This was more than I could bear, and refused to have It operated upon In that way. Alt other remettles were used, hut the cancer continued to grow worse. The pain was excruciating, and my life wasa burden. In this extremity my son. Dr. Hardman, recommended me to try Swift’s .Spcclflc. It was the last resort, but I was so prejudiced against the use ot patent medicines, and esiwelally this one, that I hesitated some time. At last I gave my consent, not believing there wds any virtue in It. The lirst bottle only Increased the site of the sore and discharge from It, and hence did not Inspire me with any hope. On taking the second bottle there were signs of Improvement, and my faith strengthened Just In proportion. I used the Specific a* a Wash in the treatment of my cancer with remarkable success. I sponged the sore with the medicine diluted with a little water. It softened the seab, cooled llie face and relieved the Itehtng sensation. The spot on my face is the discharge, Could It be, begar to decrease, as well as the dlsehai and hope sprang up tu my hi ked nr—" heart, at fast given_ dark hours In the past that the Idea of being well again almost overpowered mo. There was a contest between hope aud fear for a 1 asked myrndf. Unit I was at last to be relief ed of this disease? It has given me so many dark hours In the I—* • .... long time. It was a long night of Weeping, but Joy came with the morning. There Is nothing left to mark the place but a small scar, and I feel that It Is Impossible for me to efpreaamy gratitude for this great deliverance. It Isa Wonderful medicine. M«s.
