Reports that Bro. McEwen was to have received a good appointmept at Washington, to recompense his disappointment in the post-office matter, are premature, to say the least The facts are that immediately after the postoffice appointment was made, a movement was started, by some of Mr. McEwen’s friends or professed friends, with a view to securing an appointment for him, and a petition to that effect.has been sent in, or soon will be. It is probable that some of those most active in working up the matter are in earnest about it, but SQme of them, wb have no doubt, merely wanted to flatter our neighbor’s hopes long enough to let his righteous wrath settle so that he would not rip them and his party generally, and Tom Hammond particularly, up the back for beating him in tire postoffice fight.

Editor Republican. Hogs are following the example of all other farm products, They are going Democratic. From Gets, in December they are now worth 3|and will touch.3cts. before 30 days. Hundreds of thousands of working people have no money to buy at any price, hence the apparent oversupply. The egg market is still worse. They are now worth 7| cents, and will no doubt go to 5 cts. This is enough to make the old “bitjdies” weep. Let demagogues tell the farmer they have no interest in a protective tariff. Suppose,farmers, those millions of idle men were put to work in our factories at $1.50 per day. They would earn $4,500,000 every day, and Saturday night would have $27,000,000. This sum every Saturday night would enable them to buy your eggs, your butter, your beef, your hogs. Money would be circulating freely as you have seen it in the past and you would hear nothing of hard times But Democratic policy has closed these factories, 3,000,000 of men are out of emp oyment. and they don’t get the $27,000,000 Saturday night, and can’t buy your products at any price. Well! can anyone tell where Democratic blundering is going to land us? ***

A MISFIT.

The Detroit Tribune reprints the following from the Ad rain Press (Dem.) of Nw. 25,1892: Republicans are predicting that great calamities will follow the advent of an administration that for the first time since 1860 has the President and both branches of Congress. Let them do the worrying. The Democrat party will get along. There’ll be no trouble. There’ll be no free trade. 'There’ll be no wildcat currency. There’ll be no subsidies. 1 here’ll be no fostering monopo. Jiea—■ "" " ~ - There’ll be no radical legislation. There’ll be no legislation harmful to our manufacturing industries. There’ll be no 150 per cent, tariffs. There’ll be no hesitation about bouncing Republican officeholders. There’ll be no incompetent appointments. There’ll be no nonsense in any line of work. There’ll be no force bills. There’ll be no Reed ism. There’ll be no need of Republican advice. There’ll be no tariff on salt, lumber, coal or wool. There’ll be no decline in the price of wool or wheat. There'll be no use of Republican lying br grumbling or explaining. There’ll be no decrease of pensions. This was printed two weeks after the election of Mr. Cleveland, and has the Democratic ring of of that period. At that time the echo of “Grover, Grover, four years more of Grover” was still resounding throughout the land. | The prophecy of dollar wheat and I higher wages was still fresh in the i minds of many credulous people. Thousands of deluded persons who had voted for a change were looking hopefully for the first signs, and almost expected to find gold dollars in thdif shoes every morning. The free trade Congress had not yet met and the upheaval of business had notyet begun. Wheat had not yet started on the descending scale which was to carry it out of sight in the wrong direction.

Wool still commanded a fair price and sheep were worth shearing. Mills and factories were running fullhand4d, and no soup houses had yet been opened. Everything was lovely and the air was vocal with shouts of Democratic victory and prophecies of Democratic good times. Well, how is it now? Just read the foregoing extract over again and see if it fits. —Journal.

Gifford Law Knocked Out

Judge Wiley Decides the Whole i\ct Unconstitu-3 tional. Yesterday forenoon Judge Wiley delivered his decision in the Gifford Drainage District matter, in which ‘ he not only decided that certain specific but very important proceedings in the proceedings were illegal, but also that the whole s act was unconstitutional and void. The opinion was in writing and though very clear and able, it was also exhaustive, and therefore necessarily of great length. The Judge’s opening remark was that the act was, like man “fearfully and wonderfully made,” an observation the correctness of which his sub--flequeflt. L analysis jabkn-dantly established.

The main points of the decision, briefly expressed were these: That these particular proceedings to, establish the Gifford Drainage District are void and illegal, because the act clearly contemplates that the county surveyor, before endorsing the proceedings, should give the entire proposed work his inspection, a thing which the record upon its face showed had not been done. This part of the decision exonerated the surveyor from any intentional neglect of duty, and conceded that he had complied with the aw as he understood it . , The method of letting to Gifford the contract for the ditches privately was illegally done, because the law plainly {requires that it must be publicly advertised and let to the lowest - responsible bidder. It was also illegal because Gifford, as Drainage Commissioner, let the contract to himself.

The act itself is unconstitutional, because it confers upon the county surveyor judicial powers, which the constitution of the state forbids. Gifford, as a contractoi, gave bond to himself and two others as drainage commissioners. This is illegal and void. The act is unconstitutional because while it provides for taking private property for public use, it does not provide any means fur assessing and paying damages to the owners of such property. Finally the entire law is decided void because the proceedings required in the unconstitutional sections are necessary and indespensible parts of every proceeding under the law. The proceedings to establish the district were dismissed at the cost of the parties signing the agreement.

Wglglk A YOUNG GIRL’S FORTUNE. AN INTERESTING {-SKETCH. Nothing appeals so strongly to a mother’s affection as her daughter just budding into womanhood. Following is an instance • "Our daughter, Blanche, now 15 years of age, had been terribly afflicted with uervoushess, and had lost the entire use of her right arm. She was in such a condition that we had to keep her from school and/abandon her music lessons. In fact, we fehred St. Vitus dunce, and are positive but for an invaluable remedy she would have had that terrible affliction. We had employed physicians, but she received no benefit from them. The first of last August she weighed but 75 pounds, and although she has taken only three bottles of Nervine she now weighs 106 pounds; her nervousness and symptoms of St. Vitus dunce are entirely gone she attends school regularly, and studies with comfort and ease. She has recovered complete use of herann, her appetite is splendid, and no money could procure for our daughter the health Dr. Miles' Nervine has brought her, When my brother recommended the remedy I had no faith in patent medicines, and would not listen to him, but as a last resort he sent us a bottle, we began giving It to Blanche, add the effect was almost immediate.”—Mis. R r Bullock, Brighton, N. Y. Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine Is sold by alf druggists on a positive guarantee, or sent direct by the Dr. Mlles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind. on receipt of price, 81 per bottle, six bottles for 85 express prepaid.
