The Ohio election eccurs next Tuesday. Il will, undoubtedly, be close, but we are strong in the faith that Judge Foraker will be elected Governor, and a Republic can legislature be chosen. The foreclosure sale of the C. & Gt. Southern railroad is set for next Wednesday, October 14th. From present appearances it seems likely that the sale will' come off at the appointed time. The trial of Chesley Chambers for the L. N‘ A, <fc. C. robbery had an unsatisfactory ending as in spite of the conclusive character of the evidence the jury stood six to six and could nos agree and were discharged. The second trial is set for November. The Joliet, 111., Republic & Sun, slates that Pollard, the Indiana township bond swindler, was incarcerated in the Joliet jail, a few years ago, under the name of John W. on the charge of being a lightning rod swindler. He escaped by giving straw bail.

Rensselaer still hankers for the Great Southern Railroad, and there is enough enterprise and wealth to get it, if the way is once opened.— Gcodland Herald. The Herald is certainly right as to the, wealth here, and we believe it is also right as to the enterprise. The town has also had an opportunity to learn wisdom on the question of railroads, in the bitter school of experience, and, as the Herald well suggests, we believe if the way is opened for another good railroad Rensselaer will do anything in reason to obtain it

The only argument we ever heard advanced against the whipping post for wife beaters was that it would lower a man’s self respect to tie him to a post and subject him to a severe flogging upon his bare back. The argument is without force because it is lair to suppose that a man who would dishonor his manhood by beating a woman, has no self respect to loose. The whipping post for this class of offenders has lately been established in Maryland, with most excellent results.

At an M. E. Church coference, the othe»- day, at Delaware, Ohio, the Rev. Dr. Leonard, Prohibition candidate for Governor, was present, and had arranged for a political speech during the session, but the conference refused to u Ijourn to listen to him. And Bishop Foster, in a sermon, gave Mr. Leonard i the following scathing rebuke: •‘The church is G od's specific organ 1 , for propagating moral and spiritual truths and lite—the governing principles and laws which are to fashion individual chaaacter and form society. It is inevitable that she should; indirectly, most powerfully affect all subsidiary interests and movements of men—com-, merce, politics, and all other factors which go into the life of the world— but it is always unwise, if hot absolutely sinful, that ever depart in spirit or purpose from her divinely appointed sphere. A minister of Jesus on a political stump, lifting his voice at the hustings on political Lsstles, is a scandal to his holy vocation and a betrayal of the sacred trust committed to him,.’’ Applicable as are these words o' the honored Bishop's to Dr. Leonard’s case, they fit equally as well, if not better, to such ministers as the Rev. Mcßeynolds, who goes so far as to boas tinglyair his political opinions and practices from the pulpit, itselL, »

A Texas Case. About two years ago, I was afflicted with one of the worst cases of the worst cases of blood poisoning ever known in Texas. I a colored man and porter of the union passenger depot at this point. After taking prescriptions from the btest physicians here and at Dallas, which brought me no relief, I was given up to die. I had spent over S2OO. in doctors bills. Finally I concluded to visit Hot Springs, Ark., and on reaching Texarkana a doctor reemraended me to try Swift’s Specific, assuiing 1 me it would benefit me more than the Hot Springs. I returned to Cisco and bought a supply of S. S. S. from Messrs Creech Co. Although the poison had produced great ulcers, eating great holes in my back and chest, large enough in which to place a silver half dollar, and had removed fill the hair off of my hehd, yet I be. gun to improve in a weeks time; 'and the sores began to heal and entirely gone inside of eight . weeks, After having taken only foor large bottles of Swift’s Specific I was pronounced entirely cured, and am as sound as a new dollar. Remember it was only eight weeks before that I had been given up to die by the best physicians in Texas. completely restored in that short time is convincing evidence of the curative power of this wonderful medicine. I have recommended it to others who have since been cured of this horrible disease, and I heartily endorse it and com= mend it to those who are suffering in like manner. There is rid room for doubt as to ctire It is certain. Will Jones. Cisco, Texas, July 13, 1885. Swift’s Specific is entirely vegetable. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free.
