The Defiance Democrat sensibly re-
marks: We do not think it is righ.
for Democratic papers of Ohio to at
tack Senator Pendletoh on account of
his civil service bill. We do not our
selves admire the bill, but we do con,
cede the great ability and usefulness
of the Senator. Our party Is too
prone to make war upon its own lead
ers and thus by internal pickering and
quarreling give aid and comfort to the
enemy. The people are ready to oust
the Republican party from power it
has prostituted and it behooves Demo-
Gratis to present sold front and bat
tie for the honor and welfare of the
country. Encourage the leaders, rath-
er than pull them down. Advise
them, but do not abuse them. Fight
unitedly for good cause, and that
will surely win.

AT the meeting of the Republican
National Committee at Washington
on the 18th, S. N. Dorsey, Of unsavory
Star.Route record, and who has one
foot in the Penitentiary, resigned as
its Secretary and his resignation was
accepted without thanks. Hooker,
Dorsey's assistant, was rendered
THANKS, but the old boss himself was
given the cold shoulder. Strange,
how righteous these Republicans have
become since the last elections. Their
repentance comes too late, neverthe-
less.

The Constitution of the United
States sanctions taxation for the pur-
poses of revenue; and the Democratic
party stands by the Constitution,
always and ever will. This means
justice and equal taxation, not robbing
the people to benefit few. This hon
est system OF revenue taxation would
not hamper and fetter trade-would
not crush out some industries as does
the robber protective monopoly plan.
Protection" so called, is only a
system of bountles, that is, govern
ment robbing the people to put mil
lions into the pockets of few favored
pets. These petted, protected In
dustries are thereby induced to in
crease their facilities and in time over
supply the market, and and at last,
comes embarrassment, panic, business
prostralion, and bankruptcy, as in 1873.
Notwithstanding all these repeated
ruins, the knaves and fools continue to
howl for o protective" tariff. And
the rule of the robbers goes on, and in
time, the rum is repeated.-,Sark

THE Attorney General has under
consideration knotty legal question
concerning the liability of contribut-
ing members of military companies to
jury duty, the question having been
laid before Adjutant General Smith
by Senator Norton, Of this counTy,
who is also Colonel of the Sixteenth
Regiment, and the Adjutant General
having transferred it to the attention
of Mr.. Nash. The question is thus
proposed for decision because Judge
Lockwood, Of Lucas county, has de-
cided that contributing membership
does not excuse from jury duty man
over forty-fve years, holding that,
under the law, no man over that age
is permitted to be a member of the
militia. The decision of the Attorney
General is awaited with interest.

Of the disease the father advised the son to write to
DR. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y, who, he said
would tell him what to do. DR.. Kennedy replied,
suggesting the use of ''Kennedys Favorite Remedy"
which had worked so successfully in the fathers
case. Mr.. Hicks, who had been assured by the To-

him, tried "Favorite Kennedy at venture After

ONE of the plain requirements of the
Statutes is to have deeds recorded, to
make perfect title to real estate. 1t
is strange people will neglect SC i'm
portant business transaction, yet it
is the case nevertheless. Hundreds of
deeds remain unrecorded simply
through neglect, in many cases de-
stroying chain of title, which in after
years will give t,ouble. Parties
should see that their deed is recorded,
and all deeds heretofore conveying the
property from the original grant made
by the Government. In no other wise
can you have perfect chain of title.

FEMININE FANCIES.

Tho most elegant plush and sealskin cloaks
arc trimmed with otter this season.
Fine gems are mounted as nearly as posi-
bic in an invisible" setting and, rubies, cats
eyes, and others, are much preferred to the
diamond.
Warm cloaks for elderly ladies are beauti-
fully made out of fine, furry, black camePs
hair, lined with black silk plush and finished
with pelerno collar of the same.
New dessert dishes take the form of curled
leaves with fruits attached to tho handle, or
under the turned edge, for decoration.
Plums, peaches, green figs, and other fruit are
made to look very natural, and show great
refinement in manipulation.
The lotus flower figures largely in the
fancy articles which are beginning to arrive
in anticipation Of the holidays and the season
of gifts There are lotus claret jugs, coffee
sets, individual condiment sets. inkstands.
lotus leaf forms pretty candlestick in
white or colored broize, with an insect
alight upon It,
A ruby ring is now tho first choice for an
engagement ring or smaller ruby may oc-
cupy the center with sapphire on ono side
and yellow diamond ON the other. If da-
monds are preferred, thoy may be arranged
in different colors in the form of clover
leaf, and a happy idea is to make it a four
| leaved clover
A full front arranged Of some beaded fab.
ric, to which is attached an upright band or
! narrow standing collar, may be added to q
dress that has become delaced, or whose but
| tons or trimmings require renovation, and a
complete tranformation effected by adding a
! ruche of laced edged fsse, tulle or gold en-
| broidered gauze OF course, the beaded lab
| ric must match in color.
Pink will be fashionable again this winter
for an opera dinner was made, recently, a
| basque of pink silk plush, exquisitely soft
| and dolicate over q skirt of shell pink mcr-
| yeillieux. The square bodice was outlined
with pink feathers, and interiorly with a
standing ruiIio of fine Mechlin lace. A
necklace of pink tipped shells with reyersi-
Bile wire setting was worn with this dress,
aud gloves to tho shoulder.
Among some breakfast dresses just i'm
ported are long gowns of finest cashmere in
| cream. peacock, and electric blue, shrimp,
pink, strawberry, and rock gray shades, that
| tucked lengthwise from top to bottom, back
| and front, and trimmed with cascades OF
tinted Escurial lace in which arc flots o
satin ribbon. Silk cords confne tho waist
The sleeves are a little full and slightly flow
ing, easy upon the arm, and trimmed with
lace.
The application ofsilk and plush flowers Il
evening fabrics, and the use of gold, chenille
and beaded embroderies is frequently seer
upon ball dresses. The finest cloaks for the
street and visiting are of plush or velye
brocade, with ottoman, armure, or matted
grounds They are long, but not so long al
last year; they arc also more Of the lon
paletot than of the dOlman shape, though
they often have the doman sleeves. Apricot
primrose, and amber shades are employed fol
the quilted satin Innings
