CONTAGIOUS aud incurable diseases are
myths undefinable. A learned profess
sOr at a celebrated European medical
college, said few years ago, that he
knew of but one disease that was incur
able and contagious. and that was stu
pidity. Even small pOx is singular as
contagious disease. A young man OF
our acquaintance is badly marked with
small pOx, having had the disease when
child of about two years, getting 1t by
vaccination. His father and mother
who nursed and attended him did not
take it, nor his brother older; neighbors
who called escaped. One man in the
neighbOrhOOd, who was badly scared
and avoided the house, took the disease,
being the only instance. 1t is claimed
that person healthy, with his blood in
good condition, will not take the small
pox. Hence we advise persons who are
in danger, to care for themselves as to
diet and regimen. AbstemiOus diet,
mostly or wholly fruit and farinaceous,
will improve the bodily condition and
protect from disease. 1t is every ones
duty to govern his passions and control
his appetites, thus keeping himself in
healthful ways.

Mr.. BLAINE blames the dirty Demo-
cratic press" He should blame the In
dependent and Republican journals
that have been far more severe on his
Peruvian policy and schemes than
Democratic papers. The New York
Herald, Times, Sun, Evening Post, Gra-
phic and Commercial have been most
severe on him, and refuse to see any
thing but the bully in his course on the
witness stand, or a consuming desire to
evade the exact facts the House Com
mittee was instructed to investigate
His attacks on Arthur also draw the fire
of the administration press. So in
reality it is the Independent papers and
the Republican press of the various fac
tiOns, the bright son of Maine is quarrel
ing with. The House Committee is
severely criticised for allowing Blaine
to master its proceedings, and young
Belmont, even with his experience and
occasional errors, is commended for his
courage in being the one man of the Com
mittee earnest in Investigation and not
deferred by Blaine's bluster and insults

BLAINE is an old and shrewd pOliti-
clan. Young Congressman Belmont,
only 30 years of age, is not a match for
Blaine in the fence of question and
answer. Nevertheless he bore himself
manfully and told the truth, especially
when he told Blaine he was bully and
coward. Touching the publication of
State Department dispatches, Mr..
Blaine, after making by application a
charge of bad faith against President
Arthur, exclaimed: 81 think there has
been nothing more vicious growing up
of late in the diplomatic annals of the
United States than the perpetual pub
fishing of the dispatches of the State
Department" Upon which Mr.. Belmont
quietly observed: "In this connection
you will remember that the first dis
patches published were those that ap
peared in the press which you publish
ed yOurself?" Down fell Mr.. Blaine
calling out, "Oh, yesp'

A FEW old Confederate leaders, now
in the sere and yellow leaf, yet remain
under disabilities; and the Republican
leaders in Congress refuse to repeal and
remove. They are horror stricken at
the thought and parade their own
pharisee loyalty and wave the bloody
shirt at the idea. Whenever COnfeder-
ate leader, however, becomes Republi-
can, he is all right and beautiful to the
eyes of this pharisee loyalty, and is at
once given a fat Office. Longstreet,
MOsby, Malone, and others, are notable
cases in point. The spoils party thus
welcomes Confederate rebels to their
affectionate bOsOms. They even, as in
MahOne's case, make them bosses. He

THE CONTEST BETWEEN MCKINLEY
AND LAUBIE


Is waxing fierce and furious. McKin-
ley has always been Aultman's pet and
Mr.. A. rushed to the rescue and Joined
issue with Judge Laubie who gave
Aultman a severe turn. The atfidavits
we gave in last weeks DEMOCRAT would
seem to establish the fact of McKinley's
promise two years ago in COlumbiana
county. Judge Laubie and his friends
propose now to hold the astute Major to
his pledge. True, the Major repudiates
the whole thing, but there can be no
doubt that reputable and leading Re-
publicans of COlumbiana county are
satisfied he promised them two years
ago not to stand in Laubie's way. The
Mckinley and Laubie organs are locking
horns and speaking right out. The
Salem Republican asks Congressman
Mckinley:
Why are the WinOna and East Pales-
tine POstOffice questions allowed To re-
by Congressman Mckinley? Are they
to be held over the heads of the people
until such time as his official future
shall be decided? The question is far
more pertinent than impertinent.
The same paper says: Mckinley
would not be in Congress to-day had not
Judge Laubie, two years ago withdrawn
his candidacy on the strength of Nc
Kinley's pledge" The Carroll Republi-
can said week or two ago that McKin-
ley's tariff speech was prepared by a
Col. Hill and the POtter's Gazette at
East Liverpool, while denying the soft
impeachment against Mckinley, ad'
mits Col. Hill did furnish the infOrma'
tiOn. The Republican also says:
In the jefferson district the same
| feast is served to the voters, DR.. Upde
! graft being substituted for Major Nc
Kinley. In the Twentieth the same
thing is re-hashed, with Townsend as
chief cook. But we are accused of gar
bling the record in reference to the for
mer speech on the tariff, delivered by
the Major.
The Repository speaks of Judge Lau
bic as a "diminutive candidate" an(
the Republican says:
Only give us a rest on the tarif
speech and you may call us anything
| you please, or " diminutive" Judge Lau
bic all your conscience will permit.

Mr.. HEWITT (Dem.. N. " asserted the
other day, ON the floor of the House, that
the pOtteries of this country needed no
protection, as the New Jersey pOtteries
were making twenty per cent. profit,
and that he knew this because he had
an interest in one of them. He said
this in answer to Mr.. McKinley's state
ment that the American pOtteries were
barely able to run. And now the news
comes that the New Jersey Pottery
Company has failed with 100000 liza
bilities; and that the other New Jersey
company has decided not to continue
business at present. Mr.. Hewitt is not
80 chirpy about the profits of pOtteries
as he Was.-Mchilley Chinese Organ.
Now, why did the New Jersey Pottery
Company fail? Was it for lack of busi-
ness, bad management, or stealing by
the officers, as they have been doing in
New Jersey2 This fact then, proves
nothing. We announced months age
that Mckinley would make a great
tariff speech in time to influence his
nomination. The Pottery interest
at East Liverpool receives, of course
his special attention. The Chinese
question don't harass the Majors mind
like the tariff.

he was not going to help the other side.
