If it pays ' on land worth a hundred and fifty .jr-dollais an acre.it will pay in this country, and pay. largely. Why not? The East, the West, the North, amj the South need relief—wo all need relief. But will we ever get relief until taxes are reduced and the circulating roediism is increased ? llow many will uphold a man or pet of men in evil If they are them- / selves interested in that evil! When you hear any talan uphold a scoundrel in his conduct, you have good grounds to suspicion that such a man is not altogether right._ Kasteu comes early this year. It is governed by the moon, and is supposed to he the beginning of new life, a new year or summer, 88 it were. When most all civilized men lived ju the Northern hemisphere this seemed i>lausible; but when we consider that our beginning of Summer is the beginning of Winter for the Southern hemisphere people, we see at once how much of a farce our easier is. ______ Petersburg is not worse than other ^ places of its«ize and not half so bad as many others. Upon the whole it is a rather good town. But, admitf ting that it is paradise will uot argue that the violations of law and order should go unpunished. This is the | idea that is prompting a good many to form a law and order league of good citizens to see to it that the laws jled under f^ot. Let no w and order. May t safely predict that Fiur midst conduct the pble to the ministers of tie town. These min- ! up their voices against ~The people who hear these lectures and 6ermous are the best of citizens—the very ones who do not need to hear them. So it is I he world over; the preaching is (loue to the very ones who are, the great majority of them, as good as the preachers and in some cases even better. Ought there uot to be some jnc&ns devised to get an influence on those who most need to hear lectures gnd Bermons on morals and manners? What shall it be? Free coinage will not be a certainty during the prescut Congress. At )east that matter seems to be settled adversely. Whcu the Democratic Lower House gets to work in the ' next Cougress, with only a small Republican . majority in the Senate, something will surely be done to the relief of the republic. Such is devoutly to be wished. The country needs relief, financially, and tiiat relief must come through5 the Democratic party. There shouldHirst be a reduction of taxes, which, we predict, will be accomplished; then an increase iu the money circulation will furnish the desired relief. It will take them both to restore prosperity. If currency does not fluctuate, the people will be better satisfied with a ° large per capita circulation. We have never heard this fact disputed.

Abe we to suppose that Brazil will trade with the United States if, as Republicans 8tty, Europcau countries can undersell American producer*? Ajtain : Will the United Stales’factories sell "roods to her own citizens fit high prices, and to South Americans at low prices? Il will be of no benefit to farmers to havs reciprocity With Brazil, the largest South American country, for the reason that they export too pinch of Ih* same kind as the United Slates products. And the Argentine Republic would easily ruu this country unless we can get free trade with piuru countries than Blaine wants to include In his reciprocity measures. Now, let us see about the exports of the Argentine Republic. Here they are for 1888: Wheat. .IS^S.000 Porn . 6.4M.UW Wool.. . M,868,1100 Hide.. Here are ♦70,000,000 in wheal, corn, wool, an'd hides exported by a single South American country to which Mr. Blaine tells the western farmers they may export their wheat, corn, wool, and hides undei his reciprocity _ with agricultural countries only, free trade |p 17(4000,000 worth of wheat, corn, wool, and hides every year would enable New England to be even more cheerful and resigned to the afflictions of the agricultural west than it Is now. To speak the whole fruth, plainly, the prosperity depends pn prices; prices on supply and demand ; and supply and demand is ■ governed by the whole social world. Hive its free trade with every nation pu earth and we will llipu be prosnerous according to our industry, and man would get the full benefit r.i labor, while uow. much of

“Jiottilm Sew Under The San.” 1 The ancient learned mau was re- ] jarded as a wizard, and,lest he ehoukl je punished, he kept iiis knowledge ;o himself. At present we are in a setter condition,but we are not much wiser. The ancients were wiser than we are iu many things. They were wonderful glass workers, and discovered a method of making it malleable, which we have not been able to ilo. They could spin glass into garments, dye it in every shade of the rainbow, and etch it with marvelous skill. The ancient Gauls used a reaping maehiue. Hobbs gave his name to a lock found in the tombs ot Egypt. Natural gas conveyed in bamboo tubes was utilized in China centuries ago, and one of the Mongolian authors writes of boxes which repeated the sound of voices of men long since dead—an approximation to the phonograph of Edison. In medical skill the oriental physicians of India practiced vaccination 1,000 years ago. Anaesthetics were known itHhe days of Horner, aud the Chinese 2,000 years ago had a preparation of hemp, knowjt as “unayo,” to deaden pain—something similar to the modern cocaine. Coins were stamped witli engraved dies 60 far back that we have lost the record, and movable types are said to have been known to the Itomaus. Twenty centuries before tire birth of Watt, Nero, of Alexandria, described machines whose motive power was steam. lie also invented a double force-pump, used as a fireengine, aud anticipated the modern turbine wheel by a maehiue be named “Ncolpile.” Electricity derives its name from the Greek word for amber, electron, because Thales, about 600 B. C., discovered t hat amber, when rubbed, attracts light and dry boddies, and iu the twelfth century the scientific priests of Etruria drew lightning from the clouds with iron rods. All the mechanical powers, the screw, lever, pulley, incline-plane, wedge, wheel aud axle, were known to the ancients and used in every-day life. They were expert builders, as existing relies testify. In our sehools at the present day we use “Euclid’s Elements of Geometry,” written by Euclid 2,200 years ago. Euclid also wrote on music and optics, antedating much which we think we discoreied. The science of optics must have been pretty far advanced in his day, because we know that Alexander the Great had a copy of the “Iliad” inclosed in a nutshell, and it is quite cerlaiu that it could not have been written without the aid of a microscone. Layard found inkhe ruins ot Nineveh what Sir David Brewster prououticed to be a “magnifying glass,” and nearly four thousand years ago the Egyptians and Assyrians observed the stars through a “sliding tube.” which we have reason to believe was a telescope. We make some very flue razors at the present day, but we cau not make any finer Btcei than that contained iu the Damascus swords and knives which the ancients used several thousand years ago. Aud the rather ancient people of Tyre were such experts dyeing that the Tyrian purple remains unexcelled to this day. The Egyptians were also wonderful dyers, and could produce colors so durable that they may be called imperishable. Iu all that pertains to scripture aud painting the ancients knew so much that their superiority has never been questioned, and their work remains as unsurpassed models. We may say with truth that much of our boasted light and mechanical wisdom is but the match put once again to the old candle of our ancestors. The old times were days of war and oppression, and the iventor hid his invention for tear of beiug robbed. The vast igltjority had no money to buy a labor device. '» It was not a practical age, and the knowledge, as wenl as wealth, was confined to the few.' Now-a-days an invention of value spreads over this world like a. flash of gun-powder, aud in ihe light of modern couimou sense, the invention of the common friction of mankind does more to sustain a work thaa all the discoveries of antiquity. These things are worth pondering. The student should remember then, and, rembering, should put himself about the task of doing at least as well as the ancients, and then to making improvements, as our diffused education enables us to do.

Law and Order League. Right reverends and wrong revereuds, of whatever order, no use arguing the matter, a Law and Order League will he formed in this town. We do not need it any more than any other towu of its size, but the teudcury of this town towards morality has out-grown toleration of any form of the violations of law. We have asked many questions about the movement, and have learned that, without doubt, there is iu» intentions on the part of any citizen to punish any one. The intention is to help the law when it is violated. No reasonable person eau conscientiously object to this. Only a violator of law, an Indulger in mime, a profligate, or vagrant will ob^it. Etiery true patriot will he willing to see the highest Mate of morals in Petersburg, an improvement on tlie morals we have. The Dkmocrat mentions this matter for two reasons: first, it is a newspaper's duty; second, it is the only way by which many people will ever learn what Is being done for humanity. The preacher can not reach the masses, for loo many never hear a lerinon. Our ministers condemn the tvils of wrong defers every week in lie year, hut tllieir scoldings sre Itstmeti to only by those who need to tear thetp least, Put now that the )kmociiat has I old you what will he lone should the law he violated, you rill have only yonrseir to blame it on find veursolf unable lo break the ret It of the common law which too.' natty are wout to violate, |

W. C. T. U. COLUMN: EDITED IT IVfttS* AD Die NOK'fHAIH FIELDS. r >m' w' \J V* v'N.'VXi'V *S Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisheth not?—Isa. 50-2. We now support a uice milk cow. How did we get her? Bought her. Paid forty doiiars for her, the whole amount being ten cents per day saved since March C, 1886. On that day a friend of ours insisted on treating us to a smoke, as it was our. birthday ; but we refused the kindness, informing him courteously that we never smoked a cigar, to whifcii he replied that he averaged from one to three a day, and that he never missed the small change. We told him then that from that day we would lay away teu cents per day as long as we were able to do so, and see how much it would amount to each ye4r. We kave kept it up ta date, and as a consequence we have a fine Durham cow and calf, bought with four hundred ten-cent pieces,—Bandera (Texas) Bugle. Notes. Two million (2,000,000) tons of tobacco annually consumed by smokers aud snuffers and chewers; while from every part of the habitable globe are hands stretched out infploriugly for the bread ot life, which must be denied for lack of means to send it. This muss of tobacco, if transformed into roll-tobacco two inches in disinter, would coil around the world sixty times; or if made into tablets, as sailors use it, would build au Egyptian pyramid. ' Allowing the cost of the unmanufactured material to be ten cents a a pound, the yearly expense of this poisonous growth amouuts to four hundred millions of dollars. Pul into markatable shape, the annual cost reaches one thousand millions of dollars. This sum would construct, according to careful compulation, two rail- ■ oads around the earth at $20,000 a mile. > It would build 100,000 churches each costing $10,000. It would build a half million school houses at $2,000 each. It would employ a million preachers aud a millon teachers, at a salary of fire huudrea dollars. What more effective, pathetic appeal to the head and the heart can be made than by these figures? Over 1,300,000,000 cigars are used in the United States each year. , In New York City alone about 75,000,000 cigars are consumed annually, at a cost of over $9,000,000. Enough cigars to build a wall from the Empire City to Albany Frank Ahlcrs, a^tew York youth, is dead of epilepsy, produced, 60 the doctors say, by excessive smoking of cigaretts. It is said, no doubt correctly, that ninety percent of the lowest and most distressed cases in Loudon are caused by indulgence in stroug drink. The collector of customs at Sau Francisco reports that 176,000 pounds of opium for smoking, aud au equal quantity of crude opium, have come into that port during the last two years. What does it profit a man to send Ills children to school, accumulate property, build big barns, etc., for his children, If his son is to go to ruin through the grog-shop and his daughter preside over a drunkard’s hovel? Yet no man’s sou or daughter is safe while open saloon’s abound. Let us save our children. An old colored man who addressed a tempprance meeting at Weldou, N. C., said : ‘•When I sees a man going home with a gallon ot whisky and a half pound of meat, data temperance lecture nuff for me, and 1 sees it ebery day. I knows dat eberv ting iu his house is on de same scale—gallon of misery to every half pound of comfort.”

A professor in a well-known university says that the use of liquor and tobacco is decreasing among young men students, and eveu the use of tea and coffee, lie believes the fact due to the sense of pride iu a due physical condition. ^ “A more glorious victory cannot be gained over another roan than this, that, when the injury began on his part, the kindness should begin on ours.”-—Tellotson. “Have faith, where’er thy hark is driven, The calm’s disport, the tempest’s mirth, Know this, God rules the host of heaven. The inhabitants of earth.” -Schiller. One statement from Hector iu last weeks issue should read: “Many sing ‘Praise Hod from whoni all blessings flow’, aud thon votu for whisky to flow.’’ The War of the Rebellion, the Solid South, the liloody Shirt, the Cokdeii Club, and the Rebels ln-Congrcss are dead as campaign thunder. The Republican party will have to rely on their position on the living issues hereafter. Such a condition will be fortunate for the whole country. Some of the most influential newspapers of the United Slates have come to tills conclusion, aud have had the boldness to so express themselves. J. A. Lemcke, ex-State Treasurer, lias been appointed Sec. of Treasury, by President Harrison, in place ot Huston, resigned. He comes borne to look after Republican Partisanism in SouthernkIudiana. It is said that cartel coal underlies a large area of land in Martin and Daviess counties, aud ibat a company, with D. J. Mackey »* its president, lias rented about three thousand acres slid will soon begin Us deveiopement. The land in question is passed over by the Evansville and Richmond railroad, so that a means of shipment can not be a maltor of serious considerations as would be the case otherwise. The coal industry is destined to make Southern Indiana a valuable place.

HELLO! Good, bad, and indifferent, pleasure and pain, harmony and discord; good will arid ill—all these prevail at once in this town, and more, if I CQuld only think of them. I have been on an investigating committee, have been* appointed chairman. I investigated. I found that the club rooms, the poker rooms, and the “prize fights,” like the church exercises, are visited by the high and the low, the rich and the poor. I found that those who are pleased at church are displeased at the other places, and those who are displeased at the other places are pleased at church. This is the rule, with exceptions, of course. Sunday evening I went to hear “In Darkest Petersburg and the Way Out.” I heard it, but I aip not “out” yet, nor will I have to light a lamp to guide' me hence, for the light of experience is doing me admirably at present. All went to hear that sermon. It was good. The pugilists, the saints, the sanctified, the officials even to the wicked J. P. were there. They heard it, pondered weil, and grew eloquently silent while meditating. I want to say right here, by way of defense, that I have published my severest condemnation of the wickedness of the worst people, and the Democrat has several times curried the perpetrators of crime until it lost patronage by it. No other paper has done so much or has been so severe, yet, in “Darkest Petersburg,” the only twenty lines that ever appeared in another paper, was lauded to the skies and the Democrat received the condemnation of silence. Its politics is wicked. But “Darkest Petersburg” differs from the Democrat in political faith. Hows that? I listened attentively to the sermon. I heard no more, no less than I expected from a moral enthusiast. He was right in his intentions; as to his criticisms there is some difference of opinion. But, as the same men have also differed from my opinions, and have severely condemned me fo^this war on immorality, I am in a position to know the feelings of one who is assailed and yet desires no sympathy for doing only his plain duty. “Darkest Petersburg” js just now so dark that you can smell the dense fog. I investigated some of the boys who were hit (not by “soft gloves”), but by the blue wrath of moral suasion. I went to ’Squire Reed’s office and asked him what he thought. He said: “I» have the evidence and the law. If I am wrong, then the law and evidence were wrong, and I cannot say the boys swore lies. ” He seemed in fairly good humor, but I thought he looked lively in at least one eye, so I left him to nurse his own affliction in silence. In short, some

are jolly, some mdinerent, wnue the quiet citizen “persues the quiet tenor of his way,” firm in the faith that the earth still revolves on its axes once in twenty-four hours and continues to be a pleasant place of habitation, even in “Darkest Petersburg.” Don’t want to go out, but do not care how soon the iogs clear away a little. Take my advice. Don’t violate the law. Be patriotic and lawabiding. If there are laW-breakers in our midst, you may depend upon it, the boasted civillian is to blame for it. There is plenty of law. Don’t be afraid to make an affidavit against a criminal. Talk less and do more. Be merciful, and firm as the foundation of the universe in what is right. The Democrat has no ax to grind; will continue to condemn the wrong and sustain the right. Save the privilege ot saying what it thinks to be right or wrong, it asks no favors, no credit, no praise, however deserving—would rather not have it. Sally. Do not weaken yourself by drastic purgatives. Take Sinimous Liver Regulator. Scribner. “Our March with a Starving Column,” by A. J. Mounteney Jepbson (one of Mr. Stanley’s most trusted lieutenants) describes the desperate forced march made from the camp, where Nelson and bis famished party weie left, to the Manyema camp at l|>oto, where food and rest were found for the starving men. These were the darkest days •f the greaftCmin Pasha Bcliel Expedition, and Mr. Jepbson gives the unpublished record (full of personal adventure and heroism); of the experiences pf the column which he | commanded in the advance.

While at Newburg he made a profession of religion aud united with the communion of the Methodist Episcopal church, April 1830; and was joined in matrimony to Miss A. E. Berry, Fell. 15, 1853. They had born to them five children, three of whom are dead, two (a sou and a daughter) ami the widow are still living.

No literary announcement of the year is of greater interest to the general public than that of a comprehensive Life of General Shetnan, which is about to be published ami sold through agents by the noted house of Hubbard Brothers, of Philadelphia. Admirable biographies of Grant and Sheridan, complete to the time of their death, are already familiar to the public, but a life of the third great commander, to finish the series, has been lackiug. The various biographies of Sherman hitherto publsbed have necessarily been incomplete; aud even his own memoirs, written in 1375, said almost nothing of his Intensely interesting early life, aud not a word, of course, of the more than twenty years ot social activity aud fraternity with old comrades since the war, The work which is uow to be issued will splendidly supply the widely felt demaud for a history of tne great ‘strategic commander. It is being written by General O. O. Howard, a man ot fine luerftrv attain.

mencs, WHO kuuw oueruiau ueuei iuuii mhjt other of his comrades now living,and ranked next but one to him in the army, and by Willis Fletcher Johnson, whose anility as a historian is familiar to the reading public of America through his former unusually popular works, have had millions of read, ers, and the sales of their vast editious enriched an army of book agents. That this history of Sherman, the last of the great Generals, will surpass all others in popularity is not to be doubted. The story of this great General’s career is of amarvelous march from the mountains of time to the set of eternity. Ol the three great war heroes, Sherman was by far the most interesting personality, lie was the best kuowu to the public and the best loved for his genial disposition and warm sympathy with the popular heart. He has joined his Illustrious compeers iu the eternal bivouac of the dead. His is a life to study —to emulate—ana is a profound inspiration. The forthcoming volume will tell the whole story of his marvellous career, aud irom the authorship engaged upon it, we are assured it will-he toid iu a way that will enthral the attention aud interest of every reader from first to last. It is a book every American will want and one every American youth should read. It will doubtless be the best life of the great cbieftan pulilished, and we predict for it wonderful popularity.__ H earner.

Where knowledge is used as a power or a means for gaining wealth without labor or an equivalent therefor, it be comes necessary to deceive or keep in ignorance of such methods those from whom the wealth is taken; hence it is tkat of the ten thousand newspapers printed in the United States, loss than ten are absolutely free and independent of the power 6r control of some class, party or monopoly whose interest it is to keep-the great mas# of people in ignorance of their methods. The Cincinnati Weekly Enquirer is one of the few, if not the only one, absolutely free from such influences. It is the most honest, thorough, able teacher and exponent of truthful knowledge, of reliable data, free from partisan bias, fair, frank and explicit to such degree that one*cannot but feel edified and capable, of forming correct conclusions therefrom.
