A DEMOCRATIC SENT1MENT.-The La
Crosse Democrat has larger circula-
ton than any Democratic paper in the
United States. This fact proves that a
very large proportion of those who call
themselves Democrats approve its SEN
timents. Here is one of its latest ex-
pressions; it appeared in that paper on
the 18th of April last:
Do you blame us when we say that
God was just in sending John Wilkes
Booth, on that dark Good Friday night,
three years ago-the darkest and
gloomisst in American history-to
strike the traitor down, and liberate the
white freemen of America from the
yoke. of despot? God is Just. He
struck the tyrant Lincoln from exist
ence at an hour when the country could
no longer bear the burden of him; and
God, in his wisdom, can not let the
free people of America, whom he has
SO protected and prospered, long cha6ng
under the rule of any despot.

E The Ohio Senate on the 7th,
passed the bill abolishing the Office of
State House Superintendent. This
measure was not thought of by the
peace democracy until after Gov.
Hayes had appointed one-armed SOL
dier to fill it, and rather than that he
should have it, they abolished the of
fee. That is specimen of democratic
regard for the soldiers.

~ The tornado at Shanghai, ILL.,,
on Sunday evening, is described by an
eyewitness, as an immense whirlwind
in the shape of a cone about quarter
of an inch in diameter. This cone
sucked the water from off ponds and
tubs, twisted large trees out of the
ground, demolished fifteen dwellings,, a
schoolhouse and two churches, killed
four persons, and injured twenty-five.
In and around Muscatine the same tor
nado did more damage than any similar
visitation since 1874, destroying many
buildings and injuring several persons.
in Cedar township, church was lifted
from the ground and literally blown in
pieces. In Sweetland township many
barns and other buildings were de-
stroyed, and an OF pelted to death with
hail stones.

E We copy the following items
from the Ohio State Journal:

The resolutions of the college boys
worry the Demijohnson party i'm
mensely. AS the boom of one gun
after another, opening all along the
line, strikes upon their tympanums
they feel sick. At first they pretend
ed not to notice; then they scolded;
now they are attempting in a very
ill-natured way to argue. And the
artillery still plays, and the young
men of action-the men who are to
carry the proud banner of progress
for the next generation, are all fall
ing into line with the Republican
party-the party of action and pro-
gress. Blessed Rex! Thanks to the
idistic Demijohnson leadership.
''why dosn't the Legislature ad
journ?" inquiries the Cleveland Lead
er. The same inquiry is made by
the people, everywhere. Democrats,
sturdy old farmers who were prom
ised a return to old times and old
taxes when the Democracy should
come into power, stand agape with
wonder at the insolence or idiocy
which expects them to believe in a
retrenchment policy that finds its

hope deferred, from this class of

had consulted Divine Providence on
the subject, and he and Divine Prov

E The Columbia Tenn. Herald,
published in the interesting county
of Msury, so largely made up of Ku-
Klux, and democratic in its teach
ings, serves up the following highly
seasoned dish, which we commend
to our conservative Germans
'There is no more affinity between
the class of Dutch who emigrate to
America as farm laborers, and the
white people Of the South, than there
is between the white people and the
negroes. As laborers they are very
little superior, and as general thing
they can not be trusted. At least,
such is the impression that we have
taken up from limited observation
of them, and such is the character
given them by those who have tried
them. Having such an opinion OF
the Dutch emigrants, we have never
been disposed to go into ecstacies
over their Importation into Tennes-
see, as some of our contemporaries
have done. We are rather disposed
to chronicle their coming as another
addition to the long list of ills that
affiict eur unhappy State. English
speaking, God-serving emigrants we
should gladly welcome, but from the
infidel Dutch, the Lord deliver US. I"

1t il great thing to have sound and Wig

money can buy, comparable in value to this
best gift Of nature. The difference between

Heaven, however, has not endowed even q

it not to resort to those most efficient means OF
constitutional invigoraton which science can
supply There is good warrant for asserting
that Hostcttcr's Bttcrs are admirably adapted
to promote this end. Other tonics have their
drawbacks. The concentrated extract of poi
sonous vegetable substances, which within the
last few years have been introduced into the
practice of medicine as invigornts, are Ill ex-
tremely dangerous. Prussic acid and strych-
