DEMOCRATIC papers are gloating over the pros
poets of tuining every Republican out of the next
Congress who was elected by small majority. The
fact that they have the power overshadows all ques
ton of right in their eyes.-Tan Vert Bulletin.
That all originates in an added brain.
No Democratic paper is gloating over any
such thing, and the Bulletin cannot
point to an instance of the kind. The
Republicans have made precedent Of
such things, but the Democrats will be
guided by the right and no Republican
honestly elected will be ousted from bis
seat.

THE INDIANAPOLIS Sentinel saws:

at is quite possible too much is ex-
pected of the Forty-eighth Congress by
the people. The Lower House will be
largely Democratic. 1t can map out a
policy. 1t can give unmistakable evil
dence that the Democratic party is in
favor of substantial reforms, and that
the people have made no mistake by be-
slowing upon the Democratic party the
largest possible measure of confidence.
But it must be remembered that the
Democratic party, because it is in the
majority in the House of Representa-
tives, is not, therefore, able to pass such
laws as the country imperatively de-
mands."

VERY general regret is expressed by
the press of Ohio and Michigan over the
removal of Mr.. D. B. Ainger as Postmas-
ter at Washington, rejecting the popular
confidence in his personal and official in
tegrity, and the belief that he has been
the victim of circumstances in an un-
wholesome atmosphere where the inno-
cent too often suffer at the expense of
those who are the guilty parties. day

No sooner is a Republican removed
from Office, than he takes boom for a
higher position. Ainger had scarcely
left his warm nest in Washington, when
a Michigan paper proposed him as U. s.
Senator! Arthur, you know, was kicked
out of the revenue service in New York
by John Sherman as incompetent and
untrustworthY, and was Immediately
nominated for Vice President on the Re-
publican ticket, and Guiteau's bullet
made him President. It's queer way
these Republicans have.

WE give the Presidents message to our
readers in supplement this week. The
message is about an average, and outside
of rehash of the department reports
amounts to be little else. The President
reiterates some of his recommendations
and suggestions made year ago, to
which Republican Congress turned a
deaf ear, which no doubt has been one of
the chief causes of its overthrow by an
outraged people.

the fourth act, in which he undertook to

undertook the more difficult feat of

small mirror, fastened to the stock of his

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
Necessitating a Surgical Operation
Loving Mother Attempts to take

Domestic accidents are common to women, and
some of them are very serious. Mrs. Warner, of
South Rondout, Ulster Co., N Y, some weeks ago
attempted to take from her child pair Of shears
with which it was playing slight struggle ensued
in which the point of the shears entered Mrs. War
ner's left eye, entirely destroying the sight. Her
family physician did what he could but Intensely
painful inflammation arose, which, by sympathy threat
ened the loss of the other eye. Total blindness to
woman having the care of household is an ire
trievsble calamity In this strait Mrs. W. applied to
the welknown and skillful Surgeon, DR. David Ken
nedy, Of Rondout, N: \, who removed the injured
eye by very successful operation setting aside all
danger of further harm to the sight of the other eye.
But, owing to pain and mental distress, her system
needed tonic and restorative medicine To do this
work the Doctor prescribed ''Kennedy's Favorite

sure foundation of health.

THE Sixteenth district is in Congress
ional turmoil again, occasioned by the
death of Congressman Updegraff, which
necessitates new election. The Colum-
bus Dispatch, speaking upon the subject
says that gentlemen who are CONVEX
SAINT with political feeling in the district,
say that the people are decidedly averse
to going into another political fight at
this time, and would prefer that the
election be put off as long as possible. An
impression prevails in the minds of some
that no election need be held until the
regular October election next year, as
the next 0he 4Sth) Congress does not as
semble until the first Monday in Decem-
ber, 1883, and that would give the men,
ber. elect ample time to be in at the
meeting of Congress. This, however,
does not take into account the election of
person to fill the unexpired term of
Mr.. Updegraff in the present Congress.
The term ends on the 4th of March next,
and the time being comparatively short.
it was deemed hardly necessary to fill it.
The Secretary of State, however, holds
that, no matter what the feeling of the
people may be as to an election at this
time, there being vacancy, the spirit if
not the letter of the law requires that
they be given an opportunity to fill it at
the earliest possible date. Therefore, an
election must be held to fill the unex-
pired term and also the full term. These
may perhaps be held at one and the same
time, and the same man may be voted
for, for both terms; these are quotations
to be determined on closer examination
of the law; but the two vacancies must
be filled as early as possible.
The Revised Statutes of Ohio make il
the duty of the Governor, upon satisfac-
tory evidence of vacancy in the office
of Congressman, to issue writ for a
special election to fill the vacancy, on a
day to be named in the writ, but no time
is specified within which the Governor
shall do this. The Sheriff of each county
is required to issue his proclamation
within ten days of any special election
and within fifteen days of a general elec-
tion. The district is about 5000 Repub.
lican, although Mr.. Updegraff had only
900 majority last fall. Let the Demo.
Gratis nominate good man and he may
be elected.

Thurlow Weeds life almost spans
the history of this country under its

before Washington died, and when
Webster, Clay and Calhoun were
making their reputation he had

country. He was Older than Seward,
or Lincoln, or Greeley, and when
Clay, Webster and Calhoun were
dead he had not entered upon the
most important part OF his career
He was alive when Napoleon's star
appeared In the darkness of the

young man when the battle of

Robblng the Mails.

DENVER, Col, November %
There is no doubt that the mails be-
tween Denver and eastern cities, par
ticularly New York, Cleveland and
Buffalo, are being systematically and
successfully robbed. New York and
Eastern mail which left Denver Dec.
Goth, 1881, never reached it's desti -
nation, and since that time losses
are almost constantly being reported.
The postal authorities CLAIM to have
been thus far successful as to locate
the trouble east of the Miss
sour River, but still rob-
berries go on under their
very eyes. The real losses in yalua-
bles and currency can hardly be esti-
mated, but the losses in drafts, bills
of exchange and postal money orders
will aggregate over 100000. Of
course these last are not real losses,
but the Denver banks and business
houses have been forced to make
their transfers of money through the
express companies, much to their
cost and Inconvenience. The more
recent robberie5 occurred on Octo-
Der 7th, 17th and 31st, and Novem-
Der 7th.

The Iron Trde.

WAsHINToN, November pa
Pittsburg Dispatch asserts that the
iron manufacturers there are not in
sympathy with those of the East and
West in their gloomy anticipations
for steel rail manufacturing. They
say rails can be made for thirty two
dollars per ton, and that if rails fall
to forty dollars per ton the mills can
make a handsome profit. All the
iron mills in Pittsburg, including the
nail mills, are busy, and the opinion
is advanced that the present OUTER
is for two-fold purpose of bringing
about reduction in the price Of
labor and of influencing legislation
in the direction of preventing re-
duction of duty on imported steel
rails.
