/■ The result of (lie elections in In-; fiaiiapoliejla*t week doe* not verily the assertion* of iheKepuhhcan pa£>er* that a Republican wave is * weep* >tiX over the country. With their boasted Republican majority the whole Democratic ticket um elected tight in President Harrison's strongMiold.

Wo miss our guess it these are not the ynmlug men. Tlie surface indic-a-IJoua are too jdain for one to think otherwise.

WNiT t howl is made because Situ , (>y waa cleeled to the Common Council at Indian.-tpolia by an increased majority. It is a aiiatnr, and the Republicans at Indianapolis are responsible for it. They voted for Gov, having many reasons for doing it. The Republican* are in the majority at Indianapolis, and should not have elected jCoy, even though they t)o claim that the Republican candidates at Indianapolis were more corrupt' than Coy himself. ( Pike county has miruv members of _Hie churches, and they ahya* a rule, pur best cUlaeus; but lltmt some of them are the meanest ot'phpple, there age none who will dispute. Just liere a criticism itjttsl. The church is to blame for keeping those who "stand in the way of sinners.’' Put out of the church every unworthy member. Then the church will be a society which every good man and woman will seek. If this were done, the phurch would grow In usefulncts,and it could not be said that there arc as good people out of the church as there are lu it. This, ofcoatrsr. it questionable, GST- it is uol very questionable. Ktas? *Tncom|>cient Democrats ought to be put out” was the cry of the Republicans las^jgnupaign ami all Hie Democrat* were, in the acquisitions, said to beiueooipcteut; yet Pension Comtnisaioner Iliack got along very well, and the old Soldier* liked him firstrate.

The llorcys I'mlili-il For. A dispatch from XI t. Vernon, Oct. 6, siieak* of the Ilovey family's gobbling office ns follows: “It lias been hinted ai.d rumored occasionally since the inauguration of Harrison, in dispatches front Ii«diana|M>lia and Washington and from oilier sources, that (iov. Ilovev has resolutele declined to endorse or reeonuuend applicants for Federal office. This baa been a matter of much wonder, as the governor hit never been accused ot being too modest and i might under the present circuit!- j stances, be ex|»ccleil to have a good j deal ot influence in faror of “the1 boys in ithis district.” True, the governor is reported to have urged ; Tanner for manager of the pension j machine, hut he was a Sew Yorker j and “fit with llovay" all through the j Indiana campaign, tanking many voles by Itis promises to the “soldier j vote." The secret of the governor’s j mysterious silence during the mad; rush for office now seems to be out. Charles J. Ilovev has jnst alighted into the Ml. Vernon potloffice with a thud that was dull athl sickening to! several other aspiring patriots. The; theory now is that the bold governor ; has all along had his eagle eye fixed on this place for his son, and has rie- j dined to ask lavors for other* so that when he asked tor this appointment j he would lie more certain to get it. Old soldiers may grieve and wouder | if, after all, the governor is only their j friend at election time ; the hustlers j tnav weep, wail and gna«h their teeth; I ; but the Hovey family nre making hay while the sun shines and don’t you | forget it. C. J. ilovey lias been postmaster before and, while his present ; appointment has caused much sore- : ness in the Jtcpublican ranks, he will j undoubtedly* make a good official. ; Postmaster Sparks goes out with bia ; four years'administration universally commended. ' With A. P. Ilovey governor, his son post-master, Ids grandson employed I in the Stall-house, and the irrepressii hte Bill Nelson as pardon-clerk, the : safety of the L' uion may now be fo- | gaided as assured—at least for lite ! next three years."

PROHIBITION ISI S. They Hold Their Hrxt publican Pei eeting ta Re* rg. The OkitrU of The »■ Ttafttn--: K»«f*h«s-Tkf As per announcement, the Prohibitionists or Pike and adjoining counj ties met at Petersburg on last Sal- ! unlay to discuss the political issues us seen through their own glasses. They selected this town, because, as they stated, there is but cue Pruhibi- | liunist here, though the county has j several who were, preciously, De*no- ! c.rats and Republicans. Elias Oaborn Is the only man in this town who i voted the Prohibition ticket the last i election. They regarded him good ! seed sown in good ground, and came i tociiltivate it. Mr. Osborn cultivated lilt- acquaintance of some of them by financial and oilier girl, as we naturally suppose. Maybe it is “bread cast upon the waters.” The object of the meeting was, of course, in the inleres! of the Third Parly Prohibitionists. The first speech was made by Prof. M. C. C'pckruni, of Monroe City, Knox co., formerly of Oakland, liefore au audience of women and Democrats mostly. Ilis speech was earnest, inoffensive, ami slightly argumentative. Among other things Mr. Cockruin said that “a large |ier cent of the Republican party ate Prohibitionists in sentiment." and that “a pretty considerable iter cent, of the Democrats are Prohibitionists in sentiment." We do not know why he should make attclt a distinction, unless it grew out iff his experience, hav ing beeu once a Republican himself. He said that he was once in a Republican caucus, pending au election, when the question wa< put to the caucus of whether they should use money and whisky to influence votes; that t,lie men in that caucus were Christian ( ?) gentlemen (?)--characters ourovrti— and that lh<4 audience might judge what became of that ppo|K>sitioii; that one ol the chris'ian (?) gentlemen (?) was S u ti d a v School Superintendent. These remarks ot Mr. C‘* brought vividly to our mind the “Blocks of Fives” methods of (lie last election, and allowed us very dearly why so cotifcciencioiis a man as Mr. V. left the g. o. p., and punched a hole in our !lt£C weak imagination front which a solemn thought took exit that Mr. C. i ought to have joined the Democratic party—the only partv that has tilled its pledges on temperance. The Bax-1 ter Law and Thoa A. Hendrick's; work and the recent high license law of last Winter are evidence of = this. I^>'t the Prohibitionists join thf Democrats. The great breweries and distilleries are in the hands of Republicans, as are iheTariffiutercsts, so that | neither Tariff reform nor temperance j reform will over lie accomplished by j the g. n. p. Away with sueh a patty ; as rules by money, wldskv, aud j “Blocks of Fives ’ a id bribery.

The next speaker was Judge Win. I Land, of Princeton. He commenced j hi* * peech at about 7:30 o’clock, alter i ringing by tire Monroe City Glee; L’lut>, and prayer by Prot. M. C. Cockrum, of the same place. His speech j was more logical titan the one made : in lire afternoon, experience a* a jmlge i and laws er and maturer veais having { added much to his ability as a logic-1 ian. lie said that Kinsr Alcohol has j been driven from the country and j front the pockets of the itinerant preacher* l«* the towns and cities, j where it is sustained by the old par- i lie*, and is made a political qiics'iou i that must be dealt with legally, for i moral suasion will not drive it any i Inrther; that it is ;in economic ques- j lion, lor homelessness is, in almost i alt esses, the result ot drnkeness;j that every time a man takes a ten-i cent glass of whiskey, he pours down | his throat enough money to buy j ground enough to make 20 by 20ft. j strawberry bed at the rate of $10per] acre ; that 3 drinks a day makes 30c, \ which, multiplied by the number of | days in a year, makes $100.50. or i $0.50 more money than will buy 10] acres of laud at $10 per acre ; llut I lie j mau who takes three drams a day, in ] lOyrs swallows more money than' will bfty a hundred acres of land, yet! he dies a diuukar l and is hurried in i the potter's field ; that strikes and la- i bor troubles arc alarming feature*,’ and that Prohibition is Hie remedy against this evil, for statistics show that the laboring men of the IT. S. swallow $7,000,001) a year, or enough money to buy the entire stock of the National Banks: I hat the liquor problem embraces the race problem at the South, because in the majority of cases where trouble routes up, the negro is drunk, and if be is not, the white man is, and to substantiate this lie road extracts from leading papers on lliat subject; ihat Hie depressions and hard limes go back ta Hie liquor problem, for ovor-taxation and not over-productisn ta the trouble, as #1,000,000 a year is rung from the people by the liquor tax, this luoner is carried to the natio nal treasury to help swell the surplus which receut method* are putting into the banks fioni which it is loaned to the people at an enormous rale of interest; that the liquor lax should be abolished and the Tariff should be so reviser! as to let the burden of taxation fall on all classes alike—rich as well as poor; the Tariff should be on what we have and not on whait we consume; that the last camps question of w he bo40 percent, o we consume, 7 ly difference bet a poor tuau’s tie was waged tuuch as the anil llllfit, Ik sail OBI liter the tariff should r47 per cent, on what er cent, being the onween the old parties: .testifies are as great as a millionaire ;tb*poor man with 10 times as oiltionaire with one the poor man the

tax. ami this would he right; that the Prohibitionists do not intend to protect the millionaire, but they intend to so levy the Tariff as to protect the sons and daughters, the wires ami mothers, while the old parties propose to protect pig iron, pork, etc. t'lf our home industries must be protected, let it be clone by a bounty from 1 the govern men-, which rich and poor alike sustain; let the burden of this tax fall upon the Tariff Kiug as well as upon the poor, and these millionaires will soon be convinced that the {infant industries are full-grown ; under our preseni system, it takes 3a ' pounds of oats to buy one of crush j sugar, and 32 pounds to buy one of | hinder twine for harvesting; for 25 : years, we have had a war tax while the old parties have been unable to j accomplish any change, or do any- | thiug with the liquor question; there are 215 thousand saioou keepers, who, j with their hangcrs-cm, constitute a ; balance ot power of 1,000.000 voters, oi whom the old parties are afraid; in ten years in this district no sober man lias been elected to Congress,and ! only otic sober man Humiliated, J. E. McCullough, and he was overwhelm- f ingly defeated : the same whisky Vote that elected Hill Governor of X. Y., [elected Harrison President bv giving [hint N. Y.; the same whisky element) i that beai Blaine in ’SI, elected llarri-j I son in ’88, , { The above is an outline of Judge' Land's speech. It is worth studying, especially bv Republicans. NOTES. Women and Democrats were a plenty ; Republicans wsre scarce. Mrs, Ellen Denny, of Vincennes, was to have made a speech, but was kept at home by one of her children wiio i« sick of fevers. The Monroe City Glee Club is “a daisy.” They cau beat a comedy company. § C. Kirkpatrick, of LyttuvMle, was mere, lie is a methodlst, a lawy er, and a Prohibitionist, and is as goodloolftitg as Judge Land. VVc noticed from Monroe City Win. Wheeler, Geo. Snyder, Frank Meyers, John IK Snyder, and proof. M. C. Cock rum. II. S. Bonsib, of Vincennes, was also here in the Interest ot the Prohibition Era, published at Princeton. Judge Land compared the Prohibitionists to a corn husking as a Democratic Aid Society; but as a pure Prohibitionist meeting lie compared them to a funeral. This done, a few songs were sung, and the meeting adjourned sine die, aud with a big amen by the few Republicans preaHit.

THE U« TUI l 5 S iVUKK Van Antwerp, Bragg Co. seem to be getting in their work in a degree. Their old-fashioned meanness of bribery and misrepresentation still goes on. The people have strong suspicion that the men who pretend to he , opposed to monopoly and yet work for it arc bribed. We cannot say that every one is bribed,' but knowing bribery to be their mode of operation, w;e are lead to have strong suspicion. Onr attention ts called to an article in the Petersburg Press of last week, in which great objections 1 are made to the. new school books, : which are not near so expensive as the old one*, and are in many respects superior. The tactics lias bean changed from attacking the Indiana Company to finding fault with the -new 1 books. These faults are mere misrepresentations very often, l’erhaps these parties are not aware of him- , dreds of objections that ran be made : to the books of the octopus. These. ' books sav nine miles make a knot, : whereas only one mile is the number; ' that Lake Itasca is the source of the Mississippi liivor, a mistake; the old books give a definite source for the Nile though no man has ever been up i there ; they also trace the Congo Itiv- ’ er from sou.ee io mouth, though no 1 onehas hern along that river: ther a»k for Lake Kiehelieu, hut no such lake | exists; even the First Header makes i a little girl ask her brother to stop a 1 cart till she gets “in,” though all 1 know that we ride “in” a Cart after we get “into” it; no one can take the , old books and tell the difference between a Grand Division and a Conti nent,or whether there is no differ- i e.rce, and if there is none the books do not explain it. And so we might goon, enumerating error after error-as tou ml in the old books,but such is nonsense, mere child's play. The opponents to the; people's opportunities to get good j tiooks at reasonable prices have no oh- - jects beyond that which is in the inter- j est of Van Ant werp, Bragg £ Co., the ; giant book mouopoiistaof the world, j All the people need to do ia to exam- j j iue the books, as we saw a good Ke- j publican do, if that made any differ- j lence; he ex pressed his surprise that; | so many misrepresentations have j . been published about the new books, j The Couuty Superiutcudcut has , had more experience with the new j i books and with the people's opinion j | of them thau any other uiau in the! 'county. What he thinks oi the new; ; books may be gathered from hisleUet j to the Democrat as follows: Editor J»emoc*at: Allow me apace in ! your paper to allow to the patrons of the pub. lie school* of Pike county that the trite editor of the lYU-rapur* fVr*«. In his criticism on the school books of the Indiana Series, la sadly mistaken, or purposedly intended to 1 mislead the people of Pike county aa to the j merits of the new Oeographle*. The firstj thing he attempts to do la to make them be- j Ileve there ia a centnuUctlou on pugesTO and 72, whten ts not the truth. He says that ou page 70 New England la said to be the greatest manufacturing region or the U. 8., and that the same la said or the Middle States on > page 72. This is not true. On page 70 it says j "The Merrimac, Saco, Androscoggin, Kencheck, Penobscott. Blaekstone, and many other streams furnish excellent water power. Manufacturing cities and villages are thickly in the C. 8." On page 72 H says of the Midstreams. and the great supply ofeoal. together with the aburnlanee

articled." Remember thU don't day it l« tbe leaiitug.mnnufacUtring region os claimed by Mr. Evans, but that it lake* (be lead as to the value of It* articles. He cites page 13 where he again misquotes the boobs, foifthe new. Complete Geography locates Lake George the same as the Eclectic—both books alike. says page St 01 the new hooka teaches that “Kansas slopes gently from the foot hills of the Rooky Mts.” I feel a little sorry for the gentleman that he knows no more, of t he geography of his country than to point that out as a mistake to the people of Pike county. Any teu-year-old child who has studied Geography knows thlsto be true! I cannot attribute this to the ignorance of the gentleman, but will guess that he borrowed it from the Indianapolis Journal Here Is what the old book says of the same state: “The surface Is an nudulatlng plain sloping eastward.” Again he says Dakota Is mentioned on pages 87, tS> and 09 as a Stale and on page 88 as a Territory, He has misrepresented it again. Dakota is not mentioned at all on pages tiS and «», t here being maps on both pages. On page 88 it says it ranks iilgh as a wheat producing Mtate. The gentleman has forgotton that Dakota just recently became a state, or two states rather. Wonder If he knows there are two Dakotas? He again misrepres,- nts page 89. He makes the book say "Three great trunk lines of rallroud cross the Continent,” whereas the book says "The three great trunk tines of railroad crossing the Continent are rapidly sxtendtng their lines In all directions.” Mr. Evans will not ftnd any geograghy stating 'here are more than three main lines. He again misquotes page 89. He says the book says New Mexico belonged to Mexico till 18*8. Here Is what It says: “New Mexico was settled by the Spaniards In 1358. The Inhabitants are chiefly oi Indian and Spanish parentages mUtd race speaking the Spanish language,” etc. No place do 1 And that New Mexico belonged to Mexico till 1*18. The other errors he points out are equally is frivolous. I am surprised that .the gentleman tries lo deceive the people of his own bounty, when it is only a matter of time w hen the books themselves, by being introlured into the schools, will expose him. As to mistakes. If any should be found, which lias not yet been done. It would, as »U rair minded people know, be no morj than »re hi the books now in use. No two grades it geographies of the Eclectic Series agree on ill things. In conclusion 1 would say give dm new books a trial and then I think entire uitlsfaetlou will hegiven. 1 Impel he Editor of :he /¥«•« will not attempt to criticise* the »ew books until he has studied geography at east one or tvio weeks.

People Wonder WHEN they flml how rapidly health is restored by taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. The reasou is that this preparation contains only the purest ami most powerful alteratives and tonics. To thonssttk yearly it proves a veritable elixirlof life. Nrs. Joe. Lake, Brockway Centre, Mich., writes : “ Liver complaint and indigestion made my life a burden and came near ending my existence. For more than four years I suffered untold agony. I was reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly had strength to drag, myself about. All kinds of food distressed me, aud only the most delicate could be digested at all. Within the time mentioned several physicians treated me without giving relief. Nothing that I took seemed to do any permanent good until I began the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which has produced wonderful results. Soon after commencing to take the Sarsaparilla I could see an Improvement In my condition, my appetite began to return aud with it came the ability to digest ull the food taken, my strength improved each day, and after a few months of faithful- attention to your directions, I found myself a well wouian, able to attend to all household duties. The medicine has given me a new lease of life, and I cannot thank you too much.” .... . *‘We, the undersigned, citixens of Brock wav Centre, Mich., hereby certify that the above statement, made by Mrs. Lake, is true in every particular and entitled to full credence.”— O. P. Chamberlain, O. W. Waring, C. A. Wells, Druggist. “ My brother, in England, was, for a long time, unable to attend to his occupation, by reason of sores on his foot. I sent him Ayer’s Almanac and the testimonials it contained induced him to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. After using it a little while, he was cured, and is now a well man, working in a sugar mill at Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.” — A. Attewell, Sharbot Lake, Ontario.
