power by any party leads to extrav- agances, corruption and loose prac. tices. After twenty years of domi- nation py the republicans chronic abuses have become fastened on the public service like barnacles on the bottom oi stranded ship. There is no hope of reform by leaders who have created system of maladmin. :. istration and who are interested in perpetuating it's evils. Nothing short Of the sternest remedy gives any promise of effective reform, and the first step toward it is in a change of rulers. The government must be got out of the ruts in which it has too long been run. New blood must be infused in the management of public affairs before relief can be expected The people demand change, and, being in earnest, are likely to be gratifled.
 Very sincerely,
 DAVID DAVIS.

Infant Food.

Sago, tapeoca and arrow root are nothing more than varieties of starch, extracted from different species of plants. The starch of food keeps up the animal heat. In doing this it has to pass through a series of chemical changes, 1st, glucose; 2d, lactie acid :; and Sd, into carbonic acid and water !. This last change Is process of com bustion and thus produces heat.
 The oxygen needed for it is absorbed from the air by the pulmonary mucous membrane, and the carbonic acid form- ed passes out of the blood at the same surface.
 If from any cause the natural pro- ccsses always going on in the blood whose continuance in the right direc- ton is essential to health, when one of these processes Is disturbed, 1t does not generally cease, but it goes then on in a wrong direction, resulting in the formation of various products different from those which are required and which the kidneys and other glands are called upon to excrete from the sys- tenn, the result is that the general health is more or less impaired.
 There Is also another way in which diseases are frequently caused: a natu- ral process may stop at certain point aRd go no further, the material formed at that stage remains as it is, being . morbid product 1t Is not wanted in the system, and hence becomes source of trouble.
 Though starch furnishes an element of food in the adult, the conditions necessary for it's assimilation is want ing before dentition in the infant, and therefore cannot furnish the principles necessary to maintain the child in \ healthy state. On the other hand milk contains all the elements needed for hesthy nutrition. lift disagrses with the child, see where the cause is; if in the milk, correct 1t; if in the child's stomach, see to that also; but for food for child nothing can take the place of milk.

which means that for one single staple produced by the "rebels' during the last ten years this coun- try received the enormous sum of 2,000 millions in gold, or more than the entire National debt, from Eu rope. That this was largely due to the operations oi regained self gov ernment is shown by the simple fact that while the cotton produced in the four years of carpet bag rule of of 1866. '67, '6S and '69, amounted to about s462, ,O09. .OO0, in the years 1876, PIT, '7S and '7e, under Democratic rule, 1t amounted to over $95l ,00O,- 900, or absolutely
 aoRE THAN TWICE AS MUCH,
 an inc.ssss Of over 100 per cent. an addition to tine national wealth in four years alone from a single sta pie of $500 .OOO, 900 as the difference between RepublIcanism and Demo craey. lyon look at any Republi- can almanac, you will see that of the 2,978. 100000 of agricultural sx- ports between 1865 and 1871, the pro ducts of the South alone amounted to about $1,546, 900. .OO0. If you be- lieve that eminent Republican, Mir. Atkinson. the value of the cotton crops of 1870 79 was, as l said be- fore, about 6, ,OOO, ,0OO, ,000.
 Now, is all this the result of bull dozing, the ku- klux and tie South ern ontrages and rebel ruleS Were these glorious rebel deeds commit ted under Republican carpet bag rule or Democracy Can such re- sults be due to the shot gun, the ku- kluk or the tissue ballot2 Slavery is dead. Secession is dead. State sovereignty is dead. The Union is no longer in danger because there is too little power as Washington, but on the contrary because there is ton much. We have rushed from one extreme to another. from secession to capitalization and imperialism. Az we killed secession, we must kill centraliEation. As we destroy ed the slave power. let us now des- troy the fraudulent one man power and money power ia politics. All these have their abode in the Repub- lican minority. If the Republic will not destroy the Republican party, the Republican party will certainly destroy the Republic. To keep the Republican party in power ia to give it vote of confidence. To give it a vote of confidence is to endorse and approve the great theft of the Presidency. To approve that is to encourage and invite it's repetition, not only by itself, but by other parties in the future. To re tain the republican party afte- all it has done is virtually 10 declare tha, political parties may do as they please. they will not be held respon sible. Upon these ideas we demand change. We demand the election of Hancock and success of the dem ocracy. We demand 1t not for the sake of the party, but for the vindi- cation of liberty. We demand it not for the sake of the offices, but to pre- serve the republic!

What David Davis Thinks Of
 Gen. Hancock.


 The following letter from Senator David Davis to Hon James B. liar vey, of Washington City, gives in detail the reasons why the senator supports Hancock:
 BLOOMINGTON, ILL, Aug. 4.
 MY DEAR SrR:--The training and habits of my life naturally lead me to prefer civilians to soldiers for the great civil trust; but as parties are organized, voters must choose be- tween the candidates they prefer or must stand aloof, indifferent or neu- tral, which no good citizen ought to do at presidential election. I have no hesitation Tn supporting Hancock for the best of all reasons, to my mind, because his election will put an end to sectional strife and sec tional parties, and will revive pa- triotic sentiment all over the land, which political leaders and factions for sinister ends have sought to pre- vent. There can be no permanent prosperity without pacification. Great as were the achievements of Gen. Hancock in war, his conduct in peace, when in command of Louis jana and Texas, in 1867, was still greater, and comments him to the confidence of the country. That was time when passion ruled in the public councils and military power was exerted to silence civil authority. The temptation was strong to sail with the rushing cur rent, for an inaamed partisan opin- ion was too ready to condone ex- cesses and to aprlaud oppression.
 Gen. Hancock's order No. 40. in assuming charge of the fifth military district, announced that the right of trial by jury, the habeas corpus, the liberty of the press, the freedom of speech, the natural rights of persons and the rights of property, must be respected. These principles are the basis of free government, and the proclamation of them by Gen. Han cock stands out in striking contrast with the action of his superior, who soon after rebuked and drove him from the command for utteripg sen timents worthy of a soldier. The soldier, clothed with extraordinary power, voluntary uncovered before the civil authority, sheathed his sword, testified his fidelity to the constitution, and sets an example of obedience to law which will pass into history as hls soundest clam to distinction. The man who, in the midst of the excitement of that stormy period, was cool enough to see his duty clearly, and courageous enough to execute it firmly, may be trusted in any crisis.
 His letter to Gen. Sherman re gently brought to light, lifts Gen. Hancock far above the past appre- citation of his civil ability It marks him as one of the wisest of his time, and with . statesman's grasp of mind and the integrity of 8 patriot whom no sense of expediency could swerve from his honest convictions.

THE SOLID SOUTH.

Hon. Joseph Pulitzer, the able ed itor of the St. Louis Post Dispatch, in his Indianapolis speech spoke the following truthful and manly words in behalf of OUT sunny Southland, and the sentiments expressed dc credit to tho head and heart of the distinguished gentleman who gave them utterence:
 Point No. 4 is the cry about the Solid South. I understand the Re publican position is this-that it ls . great political crime for ten South ern States ts be all Democratic, but it would be the highest political vir- tue for twsnty-two Northern States to be all Republican. A solid South is monstrous, solid Nerth sublime-according to Re publican log,c. Now, wha. is there In all this cry2 When the war clos cd every Southern State wac made Republican by force. They were put under military rule. Next they were put under the rule of thieving carpet baggers. To make Republi. can rulslpermansnt . million negroes just emerged from slavery were made voters and masters oyer tho disfranchissd whites. What ensued you know-ths most monstrous mis. government, robbery and corruption, probably the world ever saw. Then the South was solid for the Repub- licsns. But reaction had to come. It came. Gradually these South ern States rsgained local self-govern- msnt. To them Republication meant robsry, oppression and govern msnt from Washington, government set up by bayonets and kept up by bribery. Democracy meant local self government. There was no al. tsrnative--thsy had to become Dem- oeratic. There was nc other place to go to, and the republican party alone is responsible for it. There is not single State in the North that would not have done the same thing under the same circumstances. The Republican party had the South at it's feet and could have made out of 1t what it pleased. Had it acted with real statssmanship and wisdom it could have saved it. But in it's anxiety to force the South to be Re publican it employed tolerated meth ods 90 gross and rsvolting that they produced q reaction. If there Is a solid South today the Republican policy and leaders are responsible for it.
 Now what has tue South done sincs 1868, when it was Republican, If you believe partisan lies, the South ern people are exclusively engaged in bulldozing. killing negroes, organ. izing for another rebellion and gen eral thriftlessness and depopulation. But the highest republican authority pronounces this infamous. No less than

PHILLIPS COUNTY.

A light vote was boiled; perhaps $50. Nothing has been received from the country, but it is thought the vote will be light throughout the county. Four fifths of the votes cast in Helena are against the proposed amendment, which will be defeated by a good majority, while the license question, the great issue, will be carried everywhere.

MILLER COUNTY.

The largest vote ever boiled in Miller county was cast to day. The democratic ticket is elected by an overwhelming majority. There was no opposition to tho democratic state ticket. No votes for the Fish back amendment so far as heard from in the county. Two-thirds of the colorsd people voted the straight democratic ticket. News received from every precinct shows that no disturbance or trouble occurred In any portion of the county, and that little or no effort was made to con- trol public sentiment.
