prompt and agreeable substitute, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which, whether it is used to
remedy or prevent malarial fevers, overcome
general debility, or to correct torpidity of the
liver and bowels, will 10 every case be found
fully adequate to the wants Of the sick and
feeble. 1t entirely removes dyspeptic symp-

juice, facilitates digestion and insures the
conversion of food into blood, whereby the
system is efficiently nourisbed and resains its
lost vigor. This great vegetable restorative
has received the Endorsement Of men OF
science, the press has repeatedly borne v9lun
tary testimony to its excellence, and the
public has long since given it the preference
to every medicine Of its kind.

statement by charles Francis
adams.

With Mr.. Tildeu and this plat
form, the Democratic party stands
better morally, before the people,
than does the Republican party.
HAYES is nothing; respectable, no
doubt, but without any record as a
reformer. Tilden is in himself a
platform. He has made his record.
OF the two l wouldiufnitely prefer
to see Mr.. Tilden in the executive
chair. Governor Tilden will secure
the support of the opponents of
real work accomplished. The Re-
publican platform is weak, especi-
ally in the financial plank. This
was an endeavor to catch the "sofL"
and "hard" money men. The issue
of the campaign with Tilden at
the head of the Democratic party,
is made very doubtful. 1t will be
a hard fight. Tilden's war record,
is a good one. Heis all right there,
AS President, Mr.. Tilden would
sweep away corrupt men and
abuses.

few brief remarks by the Speaker,
the curtain drops.
The Senate, which had kept the
House in session for the last two
days, has rejected the school amend
ment, and done really nothing of
value. And thus ends the most
trying and laborious session prob
ably in the history Of Congress.
There have been several deaths

r INDIAN WAR.

The situation in the Northwest
is a little complicated. Not so
much as the war in Seryia, in which
Turks. Bosnians, HerzOgoNi nians,
Montenegins, Ser ,ians and other
heather are mixed up promiscu-
ously. Yet we may say, without
the fear Of successful contradiction,
that this country has a bit Of war
on its hands which may lest some
time. Unless the Indians run out
of ammunition, which is not likely
while the agencies keep a supply
for sale, as usual, they will be able
to protract the struggle almost
indefinitely. The Modoc war gave
us a foretaste of what is 10
be expected. Captain Jack, with
a handful of braves in the
lava beds, kept several regiments
very much interested for months.
and he was only captured at last
through the treachery Of some o.
his own people. There are foolist
minors that Sitting Bull is a Yves
Pointer and an educated man. Thi
is nonsense. He is a crafty, level
headed savage, untutored, bolt
and %sagacious. Captain &c
was no West Pointer, an
yet he held whole regiments

THE Little Rock Star having
ripened in the sun as an independ-
ent organ-Independent only to-
ward the Democratic party-has
fallen into the lap of the Republi-
can party, where it belongs, and
Judge Mcclure" Poker Jack y"
has assumed control. The Gazette,
speaking of the circumstance, says
The transfer, of course, takes the
Star from the ragged-edge Of indie
pendent journalism plump into
full Republican communion. That
is a change for the better, for now
it is, instead of seems to be. Judge
Mcclure is known as one Of the
most forcible writers in the State,
and while he gives hard blows, he
has the faculty of taking them as
well. We welcome him to the arena,
and if he will keep his pledge tC
enliven us, we at least will have the
advantage of a substantial instead
of a visionary opponent, and vii
be strengthened in our party Or
ganization by having an organized
party to oppose us, and when he
speaks we know it will be by au

The outrage mill viii cease to grind,

will cease to trouble for a period Of
two or four years. The rumors in
regard to recent engagements in
the Indian country are con-
fictiug. Crook formerly whipped
the Apaehes in Arizona aud
New Mexico, but the Sioux are a
different and more warlike race If
he has been victorious in a recent
encounter. it was no doubt at a
heavy loss. He is in the enemy's
country, cut off from all commune
cation, and is obliged to defend his
front, rear and TANKS 1t is, there
fore, exceedingly difficult to trans
port supplies, ammunition and sick
and wounded with much eeler-
ity. The Indians can watch
every movement with impunity,
burn the grass and select their
Town ground for battle if they
choose to fight. Neither Crook
nor Terry can force them to battle.
The force of the Indians is vari-
ouSly estimated at from 5000 to
$4,000 warriors actually in the
field. They are strong enough al

or half of our army now out there

The State Superintendent Of
Public Instruction has just decided
a case which came up from David
son county, where a school com
missioner of one Of the districts
claimed that, having obtained his
certificate of election and been
sworn in, he was entitled to the
office from that time until the end
of the term for which he was
elected, August 3. He decides, first,
that by Article Z, section 8, Of the
Revised Code, "the term of said
officer (other civil officers under the
Constitution so elected on the
first Thursday in August shall be
computed from the first day of Sep
TENDER next succeeding his cleo
tion."
Second, that the school directors
are civil officers, and come within
the puryiew of the above section.
There were special reasons for so
believing, since the Legislature pro-
yided in the school law that the
annual reports of directors should
be made to include the thirty-one
days of August of each year. To
make these reports director would
have to continue in office to the
time specified.
The same question was raised IN
Coffee county. 1t is not improbable
that the erroneous idea, as in the
Davidson district, has prevailed il
other counties. Superintendent.
Trousdale's decision will now SC.
the matter at rest.
