Bead John Sherman’s great speech, printed on one of our inside pages. It is a grand effort worthy of all praise. A dangerous rival to Joe Mulhatton, the champion liar, has “been developed in Nebraska, in the person of the man who invented the inventor of an optical instrument by which the disembodied human soul could be made visible.

The Benton Review, a democratic paper, devotes half a column on the first page, with quadruple headlines, to giving an account .of a paltry game of ball, and in the same issue, on ah inside page, tells the Story of the Fowler Reunion in no more space than is given to the game of ball, and With only one headline, of the smallest size. A sneering and malignant spirit is also evident in nearly all that the Review lias to say of the reunion. It is evident that this typical democratic paper has but a poor opinion of Vnion soldiers and their reunions.

The officials of the Boone coun- ~ ty fair indignantly and vehemently deny the truth of the statement of a citizen of that county, in regard to the well at Lebanon, and also call him some pretty hard names. We have no doubt, from the statements made by tire Lebanon gentlemen, that the Boone county citizen was mistaken in his assertions. That he stated er, and that he is a reputable man we still believe, because he is vouched for by a thoroughly reliable resident of Kens.se! aer, who knows' him well.

Tlie Mugwump papers of the mist still believe, or at least profess to believe, that the civil service reform pledges of the Prosiilent are being faithfully carried out. How is it ’possible for them to be sincere in such professions, in five of the facts" as they exist in almost every section of the counm~? If those profession,' moan 'anything at all, they mean that efficient public officers shall not be removed because of tlieir politics; but if removals were made for political reasons it would be because the persons removed were "offensive partisans”, and that implied a pledge that equally "bf- ■ i. nsive” paidizans, of the Deiuo- ; ratio persuasion, should not he put into their places. For evidences of the manner in 1 which tims? .j ledges have been carried out we have not far to look. In G Kidhuul, for instance,o .popular amb efficient postmistress has just been turned out to make room for a L>vm<vrafi.'iaolidcian. In Fow-l-van “offensive partizan” Re pubesq* editor was bour.ced to make room for a much more offensively partizan Democratic editor. In Delphi a most faithful and efficient _ ;•< st-master, who. s > f; r fr un being an "> ffc-nsive partizaii’’ publicly renounced all participation in politics long before Cleveland was nominated, was replaced by one of the most openly and aggressively “offensive partizans” to be found in the state. In Monon may also be found the most striking proof that removals are made for purely po-litical-reasons. „The man who was p'Ft-masier at that town rosigielon account of age, at the begirning of Cleveland’s administration. There was a 1 after contest for the place, Jjetween a numWr of Democratic politicians, and th everybody’s surprise a man who Had not sought the office was Appointed. He was not an \Vbtive rioliticiftff'but voted the iWpub-

man, and an efficient and popular post-master. Here, Surely, was a case where, if the reform pledges of the Administration were sincere, the official should be allowed to hold his office so long as. its duties were satisfactorily discharged. But one day the Post-master General discovered that he had forgotten to enquire as to the politics of his appointee, and, learning that he was a Republican, he was at once “proscribed for opinion’s sake,” and removed. We might add to these instances indefinitely, but there is no occasion. AVe have already given enough to show limv the solemn pledges of the President and his Mugwump creators are violated in this section, and the same condition of affairs prevails over the whole country.

The Indianapolis Journal says that unquestionably the syndicate .which proposes to buy in the Chicago & Great Southern Railway, at the coming sale, intends to extend the road southward, into the coal fields of Clay county. It is said that this will be done at once, and that the parties interested in the road are buying up extensive coal fields near Brazil, with the intention of owning their own coal mines. The Journal might have added, with equal truth, that it is, unquestionably, the intention of the same syndicate, to build an extension of the road through Jasper county, to connect it with the Chicago & AVest Michigan road, at La Cross. It will there meet the southern terminus of the latter road, thus establishing a direct line between the exhaustless coal fields of liidiana, and the vast lumber regions of Michigan. With such connections, the two roads could not fail to at once develop a vast coal carrying business towarda.the north, and a lumber carrying business towards the south. As the readers of this paper have already been informed, two preliminary {surveys for the proposed extension have already been made. One from Fair Oaks to La Cross, the other from La Cross, through Rensselaer, to a point on the Great Southern road southwest of this ( town. The line from Fair Oaks will require about 30 Mailes of new track, and the line through Rensselaer about 40 miles, the distance

in both cases being nearly all, in Jasper county. The advantage as to distance, is thus seen to be with the Fair Oaks’ line, while, in regard to the nature of the country to be traversed, and (he pros)iects for the future business for thjg road, the advantages are vastly in favor of the Rensselaer route, IV e learn,-from what we believe to be Reliable authority, that the engineer in charge, of the preliminary surveys, reported favorably of- the Rensselaer route; and, moreover, that a party is now nearly ready to make a more accurate survey of this route. The Republican will make every effort to keep the people of the county informed as to the status of the proposed extension ; and should future developments.inake .it appear that the great boon of fi north and south coal and lumber rail road cun be secured for our town, it shall not be lost through any lack of effort on our part. :

The Rensselaer schools will; open next Monday, September 7. The School Hoard respectfully requests the patrons to aid the teachers in lessening the, number of absence, and tardiness; to read the rales carefully, and have the pupils obey them as strictly as they can, so that the Schools may he more efficient in the future than the past, if possible. The officials of the county fair report that all signs indicate an unusually' largo, display of exhibits this year, in all departments; The new floral hell will lie ’completed before the end of the'present week. It is a spacious, well lighted and well ventilate i building, and attractive in appearance. Other improvements add alterations are under way and will be completed in time. YYe. confidently predict, a good fair, and, with favorable weather' a largb attendance. * .

KING’S EVIL „ K 'Was the name formerly given to Scrofula because of a superstition that it could be cured by a king’s touch. The world is wiser notv, and knows that SCROFULA can only be cured by a thorough purifier tion of the blood. If this is negleeted, the disease perpetuates its taint through generation after generation. Among its earlier symptomatic developments are Eczema. Cutaneous Eruptions, Tumors, Boils, Carbuncles, Erysipelas, Purulent Ulcers, Nervous and Physical Collapse, etc. If allowed fc> continue, Rheumatism, Scrofulous Catarrh, Kidney and Liver Diseases, Tubercular Consumption, and various other dangerous or fatal maladies, are produced by it. Ayer’s Sarsaparilla Is the only powerful and always reliable blood-purifying medicine. It is so effectual an alterative that it eradicates from the system Hereditary Scrofula, and the kindred poisons of contagious diseases and mercury. At the same time it enriches and vitalizes the blood, restoring healthful action to the vital organs and rejuvenating the entire system. This great Regenerative Medicine Ts composed of the genuine Honduras Sarsclparilla, with Yellow Dock , Stilling ia, the lodides of Potassium and Iron, and other ingredients of great potency. carefully and scientifically compounded. Its formula is generally known to the medical profession, and the best physicians constantly prescribe Ayer’3 Sarsaparilla as an Absolute Cure For all diseases caused by the vitiation of the blood. It is concentrated to the highest practicable degree, far beyond any other preparation for which like effects are claimed, and is therefore the cheapest, as Well as the best blood purifying medicine, in the world.
