The Democrats are siekening on their
law denying soldiers and sailors orphans
under II years of age the benefits of the
Home, at Xenia. The reason is, that it
meets with the decided disapprobation of
the people, and will be the cause OF the
loss of many votes for their party; that's
what's the matter; and, with the hope of
averting this inevitable result, the Demo
orats, at their county convention held in
Xenia, on Saturday last, passed a resolu-
tion condemning the law. and demanding
its repeal. There are other laws, passed
by the last Democratic Legislature, of an
unsavory character, that they will have
cause to wish had been strangIed to death
in the committee boxes.

Organic Weakness

Immediately cured and full vigor restored.
This distressing affeGtion-which renders life
miserable and marriage impossible-is the pen
atty paid by the victims of improper indul gence.
from not being aware of the dreadful Gonse-
quences that may ensue. Now, who that under
stands this subject will pretend to deny that the
power of procreation is lost sooner by those
falling into improper habits than by the pru-
dent? Besides being deprived of the pleasure of
healthy offsprings the most serious and destruct-
i've symptoms OF both body and mind arise. The
system becomes deranged, the physical and
mental functions weakened, loss OF provocative
power, nervous irrItability. dyspepsia. palpita-
tlon of the heart indigestion, constitutional de-
bility and wasting OF frame. cough. cOnsump-
tion, decay anu death.

Six minutes after the drop fell the ends
of the fingers, which were partially clasp

the horribly livid face, with eyes wide
open, the mouth partially ajar, the end

small stream of saliva issuing from the
corner of the mouth. The skin on the
left side of the neck was slightly abraded

BROTHER KERR, of the Register, said last
week: Communists were not heard of
In this country until the Republican par
ty commenced legislating to make the rich
richer and the poor poorer" This is but
repeating the stale dogmas of every pal
try Democratic demagogue that consti-
tutes himself ateaeher in political science.
But is it true, that this kind of legislation
has been enacted by the Republicans
Besides this, the memory of our neigh
Dor is at fault, for there are those in this
community who are old enough to re-
member when there were fiour-riots in
New York City, when the Democratic
party was In power; when there was also
whisky riots, and communistic establish
ments were organized in number of
places, in several of the States, in which
it was sought to establish common inter-
ests In property and organize general
leveling or agrarian system.
In the same paper, the editor says -
"The communists, to the number of sew
eral thousands in Quebec, Canada, made
a strike on Tuesday last. They marched
in a body to several of the business houses
of the city and compelled the owners tn
sign agreements to increase the wages nj
their employees; they then made a raid on
some of the principal flour merchants
earring off the flour they DESIRED" AZ
we'll might our neighbor charge this act
of Canadian communists upon the Re
publicans of the United States, as tt
charge the threatened outbreak of tina
element in this country as the result o
Republican legislation.
