Methods of a RefOrmer.

Let us suppose, though the SUPPOSE
tion is violent and forced enc, that
Governor HAYES had advertised him
self into the nomination for the Presi-
dency by paid puffery in the newspa-
pers. Is it difficult to understand
what in that case would have been the
course of the Democratic press. There
would have been no end to the condem-
nation of the petty resort TO the MERGE
nary spirit of certain editors. The idea
of advertising at ten cents per line for
the nomination to this great Office is
utterly repugnant to our ideas of pro-
priety and ordinary dccency. When
the crown of Imperial Rome was put
up at auction, it betokened the down
fall of that great Empire. And if tie
people of America should consent to
place in the presidential chair the man
who had bought his way to it by paying
for advertising puffs at ten cents line,
we may then bid farewell to all our
greatness. What disgraceful begin
ming it would be for the second centu-
ry of our existencel For the first time
in the history of our nation, a candi-
didate for the presidency has engaged
in this disreputable work. That man
is Samuel j. Tilden, who has been
crowned by the Democratic party as a
''reformer," If the purchase of Demo
cratic editors by the means resorted to
by the vendors of patent medicines is
one of the methods of the ''reformer''
to be inaugurated by this man Tilden,
the less the country has of him the bet
ter. Does any one doubt the truth of
the charge we maker We defy any
Democratic newspaper in Indiana to
deny it. The Lawrenceburg Register
published numerous puffs for Tilden,
boldly declaring that it was publishing
them for pay. and the week before the
st. Louis convention, it congratulated
its readers that the last of the puffs APP
peared that week. The Columbia City
Journal and Plymouth Democrat ex-
posed the disreputable transaction, and
refused the proffered contract. We
saw them in at least "a score of Demo
cratic newspapers in the State.
1t is most humiliating that so large a
part of the American people will sup
port man who can prostitute the high
position of President of the Republic
to such base uses; and it is singular
that the whole people do not rise to
condemn such methods of reform. y
Yet the very Democratic newspapers,
who prate loudest of purity and reform
are the most ardent supporters of Til
den, the suborner of the press.

gloss and freshness Of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it viii keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often SO un-
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found SO desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

"RefOrms, backwards.

When the fast mail trains were put
on the railroads from New York to the
West, 1t was done without any addi-
tiOnal compensation, the railroad au-
thorities trusting that Congress would
make some additional compensation
for the increased expenditure of
the roads and the extra wear and tear
of rolling stock and road bed, by rea-
son of increased speed. The rate of
compensation to the railroads has been
extremely low for several years, so low
that in fact they received less for run
ming a postal car than an ordinary
freight or coal Car. 1t was very natu-
raj that they should expect some in
crease of compensation for the fast mail
trains. But instead of any increase,
the House of Representatives enforced
a ten per cent. reduction. OF course
the roads would not submit to this.
They would have had to run these
trains at heavy loss to themselves.
The result is that the trains are taken
off. They ceased to run last Saturday.
There will also be diminution of mail
facilities in other respects. Mail mat
ter heretofore distributed on the cars,
must now be sent to the dist ibuting
points, where it will lie over from II to
"a hours, to the great annoyance, in
convenience and hlndrance of bust
ness. Mail transportation had reach
ed such degree of perfection under
the new system, that letter would go
to New York as soon as passenger.
Now that time will be more than doub-
led, and the obstruction to business &C.
casioned thereby will cost the country
far more than all the pretended saving
of this sham reform" House of Rep
resentatives. 1t would have been
difficult to strike the business of the
country a more serious blow. And
with criminal hypocrisy it is done in
the name of economy.
1t is a long step backwards. Let but
one more be taken, and we shall have
reached the stage coach era. A year
ago great hue and cry was raised that
Congress had increased the rates on
third class mail matter in order to give
business to the express companies.
This criminal crawling backwards is a
hundred times more in the interest OF
the express companies, for, Disguised in

1t is something singular. that accord
ing to Democratic newspapers, every
man whom President Grant appoints to
a cabinet position, goes in a scoundrel,
fawning hypocrite, and other disre-
putable things and every one who
goes out, does so pure, honest and up
right man, so honest that the President
has no further use for him. The latest
object of attack is Mr.. Tyner, just APP
pointed Post Master General. He is
pronounced plant tool of the Presi-
dent, and everything that is corrupt and
depraved. But if he should conclude
to resign in month or two, he would
be suddenly transformed into pattern
of sanity virtue. OF course these Dem
ocratic papers always tell the truth, but
it puzzles us to know how this bad man
Grant is able always to effect so COM
plete reformation in the scoundrels
whom he calls into his Cabinet, that
when they come to resign, they are too
good for Grant any longer to have
around him, and are accordingly kick
ed out. 1t is very singular fact that
we should like to see explained.

What IL pure blood.

The following remarks were made
by President Welch. of the Iowa Agri-
cultural college. at the recent short
horn breeders convention:
While coming here to-day, was

rule is to cross four times with the fe-
male and five times with the male. We
take a half-blood and cross with pure

at the fifth cross we will have an All
NAL that has 81 parts pure blood to
one part scrub-that is, we compute
the crosses arithmetically-but when
we take into consideration the fact that
the pure blood animal is prepotent
over the scrub. then the animal has
but "a minute portion of the scrub blood.

say that IA certain number of crosses
will produce arithmetical results. The
shorthorned bull is the most prepotent

but generally; and, for example, We will

Democratic newspapers are now en-
gagged in publishing the record of the
work done by Governor Hayes during
the time he was member of the House
of Representatives. Hendricks was in
that body four years. VIII they be kind
enough to perform the same service for
that gentleman and publish the amount
of business he accomplished. An oppo-
sitiOn friend insisted to us not long
ago that Hayes could not be much of a
man because he had not distinguished
himself while member of Congress.
But hov about Hendricks We agree
with tn I'm that he is a man of ability.
