= There Is a bill5Ii0w pending in the
C House sof Representatives of this State,
lpf'pVidiBg for County Superintendents of
our common schools. The question is
one that has lately-been brought before
the Pti6ple, and. ones perhaps; that has moi
been properly considered in all Its phase, 8
w q. confess; that while we are willing ,
listen toswharcan be said in it's favor, we
7aaremot prepared to give IL our support,
.ssditorially, and think it would be wisdom
on the part of our Legislature not to act
hastily on the matter. It is Il very in-
f9 portant question; too much so to be
adopteesuntilit it has been properly brought
before the people in the various districts,
sud satisfactorily shown that it can be
ssdone without Increasing the cost of com
mon school education to an extent bevond
1a iss advantages. tsa
There is, perhaps, some deficiency in
the system of conducting our common
schools; it may be with the township
boards of education, it may be with the
county examiners of teachers, and it
may be with the teachers themselves; ;but,
before any radical change should be
made, a thorough investigation should be
had, and when the causes are ascertained
the remedy should be applied, even If the
cost of maintaining the schools should be
somewhat increased. Money, in the ac-
quirement of an education, cannot COM
pensate for loss of time, at the proper age
for pupil to be in school. What time is
lost by an imperfect system, OF for the
want of proper and competent instruc-
tor, cannot be regained by money; It Is a
lifetime lost to the pupil, and therefore
great care and Judgment should be exer-
cised in the adoption of new systems as
well sln the selection Of proper instruct
Ors. .

rhe Constitution and the Liquor
Traffic


The new Constitution of this state as
it now stands, provides that mo license
to traffic in intoxicating liquors shaii
hereafter be granted in this State; outthe
General Assembly may provide Dy law
a,,.iust evils resulting therefrom. This
-a,.,ion was submitted separately, to be
yo,ed anon when the vote was taken on
the adoption of the Constitution and was
adopted as a portion of the Constitution
of the State, by the following vote:
No License. 49, ,239
License .1O4. .255
Majority for s.no license'' s,984
1t is a question which we think admits
of doubt, whether the friends of temper
ance, sobriety and good order have i'm
proved their opportunities for advancing
the cause Of temperance and sobriety. by
the adoption of the ssNo License'' clause
in the; Constitution. By this we do not
wish to be understood as favoring Con-
.stitutionaI provision authorizing the Gen
eral Assembly to enact a license liquor
low, but to leave the question of regulat-
ing the traffic in intoxicating liquors en-
tireIy with the people and their Repre-
sentatives and Senator'S in the State Leg
islature.
The prohibition of license to traffic ir
intoxicating liquors has failed to lesser
the consumption of intoxicants, and i
does not require much observation to con
vince temperance men of this fact. 1
seems to us that dissipation and drunken
ness are under no restraint tfrom the pro
vision nor is the quantity sold lessened
The Constitution does provide that tn
General Assembly may, by law, provid
against evil resulting from the traffic il
Intoxicating liquors, but it takes pOT
ton of the power to regulate the trafi
by law from the people, when it says tina
) no license shall be granted to traffic in in
= lt0xicating liquors. While we would nt
= favor the granting of license to traffic
] intoxicants, we know that there are
great many good men who think that ur
der existing circumstances, the traffi
could be better regulated under strir
e ! gent license system than under the pre-
: ent system, where all are permitted
/, sell all they can and to whom they cal
. While, as we have remarked, we woul
: not advocate the licensing of houses
n traficin intoxicating liquors, we have I
: doubt that the people, throught the
: Senators and Representatives in the Sta
r Legislature, should be clothed with fl
Z power to regulate, control and prohit
IS. the trifac in such manner, as in the
Judgment, the evil results of the traf
required, and the best interests of socie
:, demand.

10 4 -kJA CO
This bill seems to have the endorsement
of Judge Steele; but even if the law au-
thorizes the Sheriff to make bill for
such services, which it may be trouble for
even the Judge to show, he has shown an
-inexcnsable carelessness in indorsing it
it as correct, for it will be seen that in the
item of janitor's pay, at the rate of 81 .25
day, for AZ days, the charge is $55, where,
according to our arithmetic, it should be
only $3.50.
The bailiff employed by the Sheriff was
his brother. SO far as thati is concerned,
If he has right to make bailif at all,
there is no objection to that. The indi-
vidual whom he employed as Janitor, as
he christens him, is Mr.. Neal Dougherty /,
an individual who, in default of bail, was
committed to Jail to await little course
of catechism at the next session of Court.
This man is boarder at the county prfs-
4 on at the expense of the payers. We
| suggest that the Sheriff be allowed to pay
this $55 into the Treasury to be applied to
the payment of DOugherty's board. The
price paid said janitor, 81 .25 per day,
seems to be pretty liberal, considering the
| fact that the county pays his board bill.

CLEANSE THE SYSTEM OF NOR.
BID MATTER

The blood, since it contains the constit-
uentS of all the substancessof the body,
is capable of suffering every change
which all the various tissues or other fluids
experience. It can be effected with the
same diseases that reveal themselves in
any other part of the system Many dis
eases, when they are thought to be cured,
still leave some spoiled substance in the
system, and unless this be removed the
blood will in time be extensively corrupt
ed, the glandular system will become dis
eased, and all variety of cutaneous erup-
tions viii be produced. This often oc-
ours in cases of cutaneous diseases. Moth
ing can be worse than to leave this i'm
properly cured. La-cu-pi-a will thor
oughly cleanse the blood and entirely re-
move from the system all impurities
which so often cause other diseases to
follow.
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
These are of great variety and arrise
from many different causes. The uterine
functions are destroyed when the menses
are unnaturally arrested; when their
quantity is too great or too small; when
they are pale and watery; when they are
dark and clotted when accompanied with
excessive pain, fainting, fits, chills or
fever; when preceded or followed byth
white flows. Other diseases, such as fall
ing of the womb, liberation of the labia,
Inflammation and assesses of the Ovaria; ;
also, congestion, dropsey, polypous and
cancerous formations. When derange-
ment of the menses are allowed to con-
tinue they usually bring on consumption.
Lacupia is the best remedy yet discovered
for these diseases, ,and its success has been
unparalleled. Use it with the first symp-
toms, before the disease is too long stand
ing, and thus avoid much suffering and
accomplish more speedy cure.
WE SHOULD LIVE TO DO GOOD.
By the discovery of this remedy precious lives
have been saved, BY placing in before the world
thousands more will be saved. How shall this be
done most successfully? BEING myself only
woman, and seeing the difficulties to be encoun-
tered, yet feeling 1t my duty, since WAS mirac
ulously rescued from the grave, to give it to the
world, have appointed certain persons to manu-
facture and introduce it for who shall be known
by the name of the LACUPIA Co. Hoping that all
families everywhere may he blessed with this
medicine. I rejoice. ADA.

WHAT ADA's PHYSICIANS SAY

Being the family ph ysician of Ada's
fathers family, and attending her during
her sickness, had an opportunity of Wit
Messing the beneficial effects of the La
cupia upon her. Since then I have used
it with great success in my practice. 1t
purifies the blood, equalizes the circula-
ton, and correets the functions of the
stomach and liver as we'll as of the kid
neys, lungs and heart. 1t has gentle,
stimulating effect upon the system, and
enables it to throw off all the morboroffc
matter in the blood and secretions, and
assist nature in restoring a patient labor
ing under almost any imaginable form
and character of disease. In fact, l am
almost convinced that twill very soon
be the leading medicine used by the
medical profession, if not the only one.
