used this medicine yourself. go to your
Druggist, Brookins & Son, and ask
them IF its wonderful success fmong

As the editor of the Register is so
very smart, we should like him to
inform us when the Commissioners
contracted with that paper for the
publishing of the Delinquent Land
List? The fact of the whole of that
brilliant discovery is, that the Reg
ister had no more claims to the pub
fishing of the list than the DEMO
GRAFT. But as the late Republican
reform" Legislature has fixed all
that kind of work for the future, it is
too late in the day for any contro-
versy upon the matter. The pub
fishing of it in two papers, instead
of letting it to the lowest bidder,
proves that our County Commission
ers were, in point of ~liberality and
progress, slightly ahead of the late
intelligent Ohio Republican Legisla-
ture.

A girl in Logansport, Ind. named
Crager, died the other day and was
laid out,andthe arrangements for the
funeral were made. The following
day she threw back the sheet, raised
up, and asked for tea, and is yet liv-

and he called in five others, and they
all said they had never witnessed
such a scene, but had often heard

The Chinese question is creating

The Chinese question is creating
great excitement in California. Since
the decision ofthe Supreme Court de-
claring unconstitutional the Califor-
MIA laws intended to retard The immi-
grafton of the Chinese, the feeling
against them seems to have been
aroused and intensified. So great
has the excitement become, the Chi
nese Immigration Society has written
to turn back the immigrants they
have coming to California, not think
ing it safe to land them, in the pres
ent state of excitement.

THE late Republican Legislature
elected as a reform body, but if
any body can show us where it made
any reform, we would be pleased to
give it the proper credit. The Dem
ocratic Assembly of last year passed
a fee bill, which reduced the salaries
of County officials in nearly every
county in the State, and thus saved
thousands of dollars to the tax-pay-
ers, but this Republican reform"
Legislature repealed that law and
passed another, which virtually re-
enacts the old h~igh-salaried office
law. with all its opportunities for
systematic stealing, such as was per-
petrated upon the taxpayers of this
county for a period of years in the
Clerks office. A Columbus cores
pondent gives this explanation of the
provisions of the new law:
Take for instance, the fees of the
Probate Judge. There are forty-nine
of them, and thirty-three remain un-
changed from the law of 1865. The
other thirteen are those that occur
but seldom i. cost bills, and even in
them the reduction of twenty per
cent. will rot alto ether decrease the
income of $50 q year. A Probate
Judge can still safely calculate on
buying a thousand acre farm and
stocking it before the end of his sec
ond term, if he doesn't elect to go to
Congress in the meantime.
In the matter of Clerk S fees, there
are sixty-nine items enumerated. Oh
these fifty items remain u~naltered
from the old law, and the remaining
nineteen, which are small and infre.
quent, have to suffer a reduction Of
twenty-five per cent. all round. Nc
Clerk of the Court need abandon his
idea of starting a National Bank al
the close of his term because of the
restri .tions of this fee bill. He coult
buy a Comstock lode and run oppo
sition to Sharon with a few more
terms under its provisions.
The Sheriff, too, has not been for
gotten in its beneficent provisions
There are forty two items of fee
enun Grated for his behoof. Ofthes
twenty-three remain rs before ant
nineteen are changed, the reduction
being something less than twent..
per cent. in his case. Then, as if t
make amends for disturbing his pa,
for q larger extent than the other:
the new law creates a new fee for hir
by paying him forsummoning Gran
Jury witnesses. This will give n
.lSherif an increaseto his income tbs
will more than compensate him fo
all his losses and enable him to carr
out that favorite scheme of his I

The old orthodox Republican

The old orthodox Republican
journal, the Cincinnati Gazette, has
looked over the political field and is
not made glad. It is depressed. and
is candid enough to say that 'the
Republican, party is now in a crisis,
because 'ft is weighed down by
shortcomings" This is the way it
talked last week in an editorial on
"The Presidency"
THE Republican party is now in
a crisis. 1t can organize either de-
feat or success, and the outcome will
idepend upon the MAN who may be
nominated. 1t can not depend upon
party attachments, or past achieve
ments. 1t is ,ceighed down by short
comings, and upon this point there
is a sentiment that must be respected
if we succeed. The men who man
age the machinery of conventions
are not to be depended upon to prop
erly regard this consideration.
They have personal ends to serve,
and rather than miss an opportunity
to accomplish their purpose, they
would risk defeat. Greeley was
nominated in 1872 by the caucas
managers, and he was defeated be
cause his selection antagonized the
sentiment in which the movement.
originated. A few shrewd manipu-
Ilators and selfish traders in patron
age defeated the object and aims of
that Convention. The lesson of tina.
movement should not be forgotten.
1t is especially important that it
should be needed by the approach
ing Republican Convention. In the
latter there will, we may, be sure, be
bargains and combinations that will
have for their object the advancement
of personal interests rather than the
success of the party and the main
tainance of its principles. If these
shall succeed in the Convention, the
result in November will, to say the
least, be doubtful. If on the other
hand, the sentiments of the Republi-
! can party in its highest sense shall
be regarded, the nominee of that
!, Convention will de elected.
The man cannot be a close observer
i of current events who fails to discoy-
/ er that the balance of power, in the
: approaching contest, lies overwhclm-

A Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer, says that
GRANT is so worried over the devcl
opmsnts of his rascalIy subordinates,
that he is seeking relief in his old
remedy. and is frequently so under
the influence of liquor. as to be unfit
to receive visitors or transact bust
ness. This is the first intimstion
we have ever seen that he had quit
seeking relief in that way.

The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1876-04-20

DURING fifteen consecutive years,
the Republican party has held com
plete control over every department
of the Government, executive, legis
lative and judicial. There has been
no interruption to this long contin-
ed and extraordinary reign, but des-
titute of any guiding principle, and
managed by corrupt rings, it has
deceived, robbed and plundered the
people, and its mission is about
ended. A career which opened
proudly and under the noblest aus
pices will close in shame and dis
grace, with none 80 poor as to do it
reverence. Its fall even will not be
redeemed by one sign of departing
grandeur, for among those aho will
struggle to avert its certain political
doom, there is not a single champion
worthy to be classed il the category
of statesmen, or a leader sufficiently
valued to attract popular sympathy.
Had not the Democratic party gain
ed a little power, this Republican or
ganization would have gone on in its
infamy, robbing, p~lundering and cor
rupting the people, until their trea-
sury would have been ~bankrupted.
1t alone is responsible for the OPP
pressed and broken down con ;ition
of the commercial interests of our
country-for the rule of carpet-bag-
gers in the South, by which millions
we're stolen from an oppressed and
outraged people-for the Credit Mo-
bilier jobbery-for the back-pay
steal and the profligatc increase of
salarics-for nepotism and favorit-
ism in its most odious and infamous
form-for whisky frauds, swindling
agents and outrageous contracts
for Belknapism and Babcockism, and
peculating Cabinet officers-for vio-
~lations of our Constitution for a
Chief Magistrate that speculated in
the interest of rings, corporations
H
and monopolies, and spent three
quarters of his time lounging around
a fashionable watering place, instead
of remaining at his post and protect
ing the interest ofhis people-we say,
