II Jack Selover's Advertiser tells about some
blurred marriage certificates printed at the Chief
Office, for Doniphan County. As the County
doesn't furnish marriage certificates further
comment would seem unnecessary. The only
blanks We ever printed for the County on the
marriage question were Licenses, and the Pro-
bate Judge said they were the best he had ever
seen. If they were blurred, it was by the dirty
hands Of some one who had been scaling
wood-piles in the dark We have never been
left with a botched job of County blanks ON our
hands, as was the case with the Reporter Office,
when it undertook to improve upon the electro
typed form of County warrants.

CIVIL SERvIcE.-SOme of the papers have tax
EN- up the subject of civil service reform, and the
corrupt use of the appointing power. The ap-
pointing power of the President was formerly a
source of great corruption but Of late years, the
Presidents power is considerably limited The
Senators have formed a ring, for the purpose OF
securing positions for their favorites, who, in
turn, doubtless make it of interest to the Sena-
tors. The Senators sustain each other, SO that
it is impossible to make an appointn,ent contrary
to their wishes. No. matter. hos good or deserv-
ing man may be, unless he has made it all right
with the Senators, he does not stand the slight
est chance for an appointment. Thus it happens
that the Federal offices in State are filled with
the tools of the Senators from those States.
Kansas has been cursed with her full share of
appointments of this kind.

GRrrsBAcKs-We publish in another column
a resolution adopted by the County Grange, last
Saturday afternoon, after an animated debate.
The opponents of the resolution were not oppos-
ed to greenbacks, but opposed it because they
held that it was introducing political question
into the Grange, which they wished to avoid.
The outcome will show that these men were
right. Every time the Grange dabbles into pol
itics, it lowers ITSELF and mpars its usefulness.
The real friends of the Grange try to avoid this,
but cannot always successfully combat those
who are trying to use the Grange to further their
own political designs. Some of them are even
SO wild ON the question, that they talk OF start
ing greenback newspaper in the County, ana
Will have representation in the GreenDack
State Convention.
We are in favor Of greenbaeks, but there are
other questions involved in the approaching
elections Neither the Republican nor the Demo-
cratic party can agree among the mseives upon
that issue, but not many can be driven from the
party, this Presidential year, on the currency
question. The number of men IN Doniphan
County who are willing to maintain distinct
organization upon the greenback issue, VIII he
very small.

NERVOUSNESS AND NERvINEs. Ner-
vousness is one OF the prices we have To pay
Tor civilization; the nervous savage fs a
being unheard OF. For this disorder, which
Is partly OF mental and partly of bofily ma
ture, relief Is sought In various ways, and
among these we may place the employ ment
OF narcotics. The temporary relief Afforded
by these drugs fs very apt 70 lead those who
suffer from nervous sensations TO put too
much trust In and resort too frequently TO
them. In the long run they prove most de-
structive to health. Their use has of late
become so frequent as to threaten society
with serious evil. 1t has been boldly con-
tented that chloral Is to be found In the
work k-boxes and baskets OF nearly every
lady in the west end of the metropolis, "to
calm her nerves." No doubt this is an ex-
aggeration, but IL Is q fact that New York
chloral punch had become an institution
scarcely year after the Introduction
OF chloral into medical practice, and now It
turns out that Germany-"sober, orderly,
paternally- ruled Germany"-has such a
thing as morphia disease spreading among
It's population. The symptoms are not un-
like those of opium eating. Experience
suggests that persons suffering from this
disease should at once be deprived OF the
drug. Their willfulness and liability to re-
lapse, however, are so great that 1t is said
that only about Is per cent have been seen TO
recover In large series or cases. From

on the rich corn fields on the way. The
