The election of Forafcer to succeed Brice in the United States senate may .be a change bnt it will afford no relief to the people. Opr neighbor of the Press has a warm spot for McKinley for the presidential nomination. What’s the matter with the ex-president? We can stand it this year. The stake was only a few governors and officers of that sort. Next year there will be congress aud a president. Perhaps we can recover by that time. Tiie coal fields of Pike county are the best in the state. Just think of it, veins of coal measuring in thickness from four to eleven feet. These coal lands are bound to be very valuable In a few years. ——— The race tor the republican nomination for president is becoming interesting. There are plenty of candidates with several states yet to hear from. A Utah Mormon will soon shy his castor in the ring. a!■ In less ihau a month the republican congress will convene, but President Cleveland will “hold the fort” during its life, and it is perfectly safe to predict that the present wholesome tariff law will uot be disturbed.

The Globe Democrat, though a republican newspaper, tells the trut^i on oar late republican legislature, as follows: The latest discovery about the Indiana legislature is that it for* got to provide for the payment of the interest on the state debt. An average ftate legislature is apt to overlook every thing except the trivialities of dirty politics. The board of directors of the southern prison at a meeting held at Jeffersonville last week closed a coutract, running five years, with J. B.Tarbox, of St. Paul, Minnesota, for t^b employment of 250 couvicts at 40 cents per 'day. The contractor will employ the men in the manufacture of shoes. He already has an equal force at work in the same business iu the Stillwater prison of Minnesota. The supreme court of the state will .begin business again the latter part of this month. It has been said that the present court is nearer up-to-date toith the business of the court than they have been for years. This is owing to the vast amount of work dono by the appellate court, It is now possible to get returns from a case sent to this higher tribunal in about nine months. The official custom house statement oi the exports of produce and merchandise from the port of New York for the week ending October 22d. is the most important and gratifying exhibit made in many months. The total shipment ot all commodities were given at $9,392,884, against $3,883,033 last week, dr an increase of about $3,500,000. During the same week last year the exports were valued at $6,627,094. It is needless for divided democrats to say to each other, after their factional invitation to defeat, “you did it.” Each may say iu turn “thou canst not shake thy gory locks at me.” The proper thing to do is to leayn wisdom from experience, and next year fight the common enemy and not wage destruction on democratic faction on auotker. This is suicidal, tn 1896 we shall make a long pull, a strong pull &ud a pull altogether, and win.' 1

The Cuban insurgents are still maintaining a bold front against the Spanish and with varying success, but if the remark ma^e in Philadelphia recently by a Spanish gentleman is true, there may be some startling developments soon. He claimed that Spain, being greatly in need of money had been negotiating with England for the sale of Cuba, and had received assurances that if the island could be delivered without trouble with the tinited States, the sale could. be effected. The suggestion was thrown out that the Quban revolution did hot amount to much, except so far as |t created dissontenl among Spaniards and other large property holders in Cuba, who feared some change from ibe existing order of things. ^ - -V

A kkw feature will be added to the' farmers’ institute this year, and one that will! no doubt bring out a large attendance and create a great deal ot interest among the farmer* of the county. jUom. M. L. Heathinan, the chairmau, has decided to offer premiums for several articles raised by the farmers. These institutes are of great benefit and they should be better attended than in former years. The notice of the institute appears in another column and should be read by ill Interested. The foreign speakers who will be present are experienced men in lines of farmlug, and one of whom was here last year. Take an interest in the institute and profit thereby. TUAi economical administration that the Petersburg Press talks about has plunged the tax-payers of Pike county in debt to <he tune of 160,tMO. Ob hearings!— Pike County Democrat. In another paragraph the Democrat says figures don’t tie. No, but the men who make figures some times do; the real debt of the county Is In the neighborhood of 138.000. Instead of being Increased the debt Is constantly being reduced. In addition to that the tax'payers have something to show for their money. Over twenty new Iron bridges and a Splendid new jail—the pride of the whole county Is something to boast of.—Petersburg Prose. Aud the “debt is constantly being reduced.” In 1894 the debt was 128,030 with % surplus of over ^17,500 in the treasury, and as the Press says the debt at the present time is ouiy $53,800. to a-man-up-a-tree it doesn’t look like “the debt is constantly being reduced.” Will some contemporary that foresaw ruin from tariff reform kindly explain when the ruin may be expected to be due? asks the San Francisco Examiuer. With, redueed duties foreign competition was to close every iron mill in* America. The duties have been reduced, and we are turning out more iron than either wo or any other people ever did in the whole history ol the world. We are shipping it abroad, we are using it iu an unexpected volume at home, and we are raising wages while we do it. How much higher duties will it take to reduce our output to the old dimension?

There are teu different forms of money in the Uuited States, vis : | Gold, v Silver (full legal-tender dollars). Gold Certificates. Silver Certificates. Subsidiary Silver. Minor Coins (copper and nickel). United States i Treasury notes of 1890. National bank, notes. Currency certificates. Allen G. Thurman, the grand old roman ot Ohio, fell recently and from which accident his life is despaired of. He is one of the beM_ku£wn men in the country and represented his state in the senate of the United States for twelve years, Iu 1888 he was tho demooratic nominee for vicepresident: but was defeated, siuce which time he has not been active iu politics.

At Least Instructive. It might have been better; it might have been worse says the ,St, Louis Republic:. ) ■ . . In all the big states there have been great democratic gaius since last year. The party is regaining its voting strength. In Ohio Campbell has wou what is equivalent to a real victory. In spite of painful perplexities the natural vigor of democracy has asserted itself in Kentucky. The cause of deepest regret is the defeat 6f Judge Edward Lane in the Eighteenth Illiuois district. The leaders aud the press of the party made a gallant fight for Judge Lane, laying aside all differences of lodgement on single questiou. The Republic has earnestly labored in his behalf and has had the cooperation of the democratic newspapers in the counties of the district. The result iu Illinois is a lesson upon the necessity of full and generous consideration for ail the elements of opinion on disputed questions. The party must be able to utilize all its strength. It canuot rely upon any gains whatever from the republican ranks or from those of the populists. Maryland’s turning oyer of things should have littlbvsignifioance. The .democracy will no(N|>e benefited and the^-rcpnblicans wujf reap some advantagb\from the result. But the state will wKiu tberight column next year. Gorman Is hot the democratic party of Maryland. The figures prove that the democracy is abundantly supplied with the votes to win in 1896; but that the votes must be organized, satisfied and honestly led. Now we know what is before us. We can win if we will.

—^-.^.4Washington Letter. From onr Regular Correspondent Washington, $Jov. llth 1895. Democrats are extracting considerble consolation out of the old politics? maxim, that a “party is never in such great danger as just after it has won a great victory,” and that it is a wise maxim the political upheavls of the last eight or ten years fully prove. No greater political victory was ever won in this country than that which in 1892 put the democrats in possession of the executive and legislative branches of the government. Yet, look what followed. In 1891, dissension iu democratic ranks, and a republican congressional victory; in 1895, more democratic dissension aud republican victories in states heretofore safely democratic. The dissension in the raftks of the victorious repnbiicau party is already marked, and it is not confined to the fight over the presidential candidate of the party but included the policy to he followed^ by the overwhelming republican majority in the house during the coming session of congress. These dissensious even extend to the tarrifl question. Senator Shermau lately said that he would vote for no bill amendiug the tariff that did not provide a duty for wool, and representative Dalzel of Pennsylvania, who may be the next chairmau of the house ways and means committee, says the tariff is going to be amended and duties raised. Now comes exSenator Mauderson, of Nebraska, who pointedly says: “The republicans cannot afford to open up ‘the tariff question. If any attempt is made to put a duly ou wool or any other article, every industry will rush in and demand more fifrotection.” This being the situation, it is natural that democrats should expect their prospects iu the natioual campaign to be much improved by existing dissensions iu the republican party aud those certain to be engendered during the sessiou of congress. As Senator Mitchell, of Wisconsin, now in Washington, aptly puts it, “I have seeu much darker days thau these for the democratic party. But there was a vital principle in the doctrines ojf democracy which was destined to make the party great, and which will always make it Important.

The political whirlagig turns up some queer things but when it turned up Boss Quay as a candidate tor the republican presidential nomination it turned up something queerer than usual. When it was first mentioned in Washington that some of the little republican papers in I’euusylyauia were booming Quay tor the nomination it was regarded as a sort of joke on Quay, sprung by some well-mean-ing editor who was seriously grateful for favors done and hopeful of those yet to come and who really believed that Quay was big enough for such an honor. His caudidacv is no longer regarded as a joke. He is seriously in the field and has a literary bureau working up sentiment in his favor. At first glauce one is inclined to say that Quay is throwing good money away, so small is his chances to win, but when one considers that Quay . has made “big government appropriations aud liberal expenditures upon all sorts of internal i m prove me nts” the corner stone of his candidacy, and remembers the success of republicans iu the past who had no other political capital than “the old flag and an appropriation,” oue doesn’t feel so certain about it. It may be that Quay thought that Tom Reed was haviug too much of a walk over, aud that his candidacy is put forth merely as a foundation for a good dicker.

Hou. William F. Harrity, chairman of the democratic national committee, who has beeu In Washington for several days, believes it Is always good politics to keep a stiff upper lip no matter how the returns come in. This is the way he sized up the effect of last week’s elections on the demo* cratic party: “While the: elections showed great republican victories, they have not disheartened us, by auy manner of means. We shall get together agaiu by next campaign. We will select a good candidate anfl we will show the country that the democratic party is still very much alive.” Ex-Cougressman Somers, of Wisconsin, now in Washington on private business, has a gecord as a good detpocrat and a shrewd obseryer of the trend of democratic sentiment in his state. He said when asked who the democrats of that state favored for the presid^ntal nomination: “They are thoroughly in accord with President Cleveland, and I believe that were he to announce himself as a candidate for a third term' he could obtaiu the entire delegation. Carlisle stands second, with W. C. Whitney very close to himl^ Either would make a good candidate and a stroung campaign,” Ex-Congressman Holman, of Indiana, who thoroughly knows the democratic pa^ty of his state, says

.j-.,.. Indiana democrats have never seriously considered that there was any probability of President Cleveland again becoming a candidate, and that they do not believe it has been seriously considered anywhere else. Mr, Holman, thinks that if no mistake is made in the natioual ticket Indiana will go democratic next year. Free Pills, Send your address to H. E.

Don’t Trim Postal Cards. It is ruled by the postal authorities that any reduction of the size of the postal card by clipping, rounding off the corners, or otherwise, will subject the receiver of the card to a charge of one cent on delivery. This makes a postal card equivalent to letter post* ago. Many people euclose postal cards to correspondents in envelopes too small, and imagine that a little clipping will net make any difference. Others round off th* corners for orna* mental purposes or convenience in handling. Don’t do it again. The healing properities of De Win’s Witch Haze) Sahe are well known.
