heretofore fallen much below the actual expendl-
tures it is very probable that resort will be hao 10
another loan in 1885, to meet the current expenses
In the face of these evidences of mal-admnstrat'on,
the leaders of democracy may well avoid all allu-
sion to State affairs, and conhne themselves 10
abuse of their American opponents.
The democratic or anti American party has
sauandered millions of the money of the people.
Every tax payer feels this through his pocket.
The above tables are only intended to convey to
them the manner in which it has been done. To
such an extent has this squandering of the public
money been carried, that the leaders of the dem
ocracy themselves, make the proof against the
Swamp Land Commissioners and refuse to vote
the necessary funds to carry on the public works.
See the report of the Hon. w. W. King and OF the
Hon. w. W. Pugh, chairmen Of the joint COM
mittee of the Senate and House of Representatives
Well might Mr.. Calhoun, if living, apply his
words of Cohesive band of public pIunder" to
the democratic anti-American party OF Louisiana
or that the prospective democratic candidate TOR
the Presidency in 1856, reiterate what he so often
charged, 'that the democratic party was governed
by seven principes-fve loaves and two hshes!'
DENr1srRY.-A. L. Plough Jr.-The mouth,
containing the Dental Apparatus, observes DR..
Harris, is a very complicated piece of mechan-
sm-forms an essential part Of the human
frame-has the widest possible range of sym
pathy-contains great variety of organs-and
performs an equally great variety of functions.
How essential and important is it then, that
when the teeth and gums become affected that
we should endeavor to avoid employing I'M
worthy malpractitioners, and consult those only
who are known to us as standing at the head
of the Dental profession.
These few remarks are thrown out with the
view of calling attention to our young friend
DR.. A. L. Plough, Jr., resident Dentist OF our
town, who has devoted more time to the study
of his profession than any man of his years
now in America and with age on his side, is
destined to outrival even the Napoleons of that
honorable and highly useful profession and
one eminently worthy of the confidence and
patronage of the community which he has,
from choice, selected for the exercise of his
calling. Without at all abiding to the qualih-
cations Of Dr. Plough, Jr., in Operative Dental
Surgery, which are too well known and appre-
ciated to require word of praise at our hands,
we cannot but direct the attention Of the ad-
mirers of true merit to the skill he has given
evidence of in the getting Of that case Of speci-
mems of mechanical Dentistry, now at the Post
office, which furnish the very best of proof OF
his thorough knowledge of that branch of his
professionalism, by the-by, is by no means
an unnecessary adjunct to scientific and truly
practical dentist.
In the earlier days of the dental profession,
the operative and mechanical Dentist formed
two distinct professions; and even now there
are many practitioners strolling about the
country, who do not understand the two and
many overwhelmingly for suffering human
ity-who understand neither. But our young
friend DR.. Plough is proficient and we'll versed
in both the Mechanical and Operative branches
of the profession, and as such, we hesitate not
in commencing him to the generous patronage
of an appreciative public.
