THE TRuE DEM CRATIC THEORY.

But lam satisfied that in order to defe..t
the Vaccinations Of the protectionists and
secure the election Of speaker who will
reflect the true Democratic theory Of
tariff for revenue only. it will be neces-
sary to concentrate rather than by
havirg too many candidates repre-
senting similar views. By my
withdrawal Kentucky will be united in the
fght, and l shall lend all my energies
TO the success ef that candidate who repre-
senting the true principles OF tariff reform,
shows the best prospect OF defeating Mr..
Randall. There may be said to be
the considerations OF a public nature
which have led me tO this conclusion.

"JUDGE PIERCE is making it warm
for the saloonists in Tuscarawas coun-
ty. Ten of them who had been in
dicted by the grand jury were ar
raigned before him last week, and
each fined $50 and costs
We find the above in the Newark
american. It must be sarcasm. Fif-
ty dollars and costs is the very lowest
penalty under the liquor law for keep
ing a nuisance. It is the same old
story. The Judges are almost wholly
responsible for the failure to enforce
the liquor law. Does any one suppose
that fine of 800 and costs, and
thirty days in Jail would not wipe out
the liquor curse, with all it's attendant
insanity, pauperism and crime?
The present liquor law has been
in force nearly 80 years, and if any
Judge, in any county in Ohio, in all
that % years, has in single instance,
put on the full penalty Of the law, we
would be delighted to hear Of the

nior editor and his wife were enjoying,
and then we said next?
Well, the next was at our own
home, where on Wednesday we had
our old friend Mrs. Sophia Miller,
and a few other friends. Then on
Thursday night we had supper at the
residence Of Mrs. Mary Robbins
where she and her accomplished
daughter Ida served a most excellent
supper. There were twelve or fifteer
women, and Elder Carr and oursel1
were the only men present.
On Friday night we were at Oliver

fifty, men and women. Except oul

warmest and truest friends. We en-
joyed this party very much, especial,

drink says the petty demagogue.
One day last week the Ohio Senate
passed, by vote of 20 to 8, what is
known as the Kinney Constitutional
Amendment. It is merely clumsy
dodge to get the anti-license clause
out of the Constitution. 1t seems that
the members Of the Legislature, and
the newspapers, with few exceptions,
find it impossible to get any more ad-
vanced ideas into their heads than to
work for the legalization and increase
of the liquor traffic.
The same number Of the CONNER
cial Gazette that brought the result Of
the action of the Senate, also contain
ed the following:

The forty-ninth birthday of E. G. Titus
was celebrated at the family residence,
two miles north of Jackson, on the
twenty-ninth day of December, 1882, by a
numerous gathering of his friends and
relatives. Among the guests were DR.. d.
HI. Varian and wife, Mr.. ]. K. Darling
and wife, Mr.. Dan. II. Darling and wife,
Mrs. VIM. Darling, Mrs. Jennie More
head, David Evans and Jas. Reynish of
Coalton, W. A. Steele and wife of Jack
son, j. r. Brown and wife, Mrs. caring,
VIM. Chambers and wife, Jas. Chambers
and wife, John Sell and wife. A boun-
tlful dinner was spread which was hear
tily enjoyed by all, especially by Berry
Steele, after which several useful pres
ents were presented to Mr.. Titus by W.
A. Steele, in handsome manner The
following are a list of presents: J.K.
Darling and wife, silk handkerchief and
china plate and bowl; d. FL. Varian, silk
handkerchief Mrs. Jennie Morehead,
silk handkerchief and pipe; VIM. Cham
bers, silk handkerchief; Jas Chambers
pair suspenders; W. A. Steele and wife,
silver pickle castor; Lydia Darling, hand
kerchief; Mrs. Jennie Hodsden, china
cup and saucer; Jas. Reynish, every day
handkerchief. Mr.. Titus then responded
in few remarks expressing his thank
fulness to his friends for their grateful
membrance and kindness. May his life
be spared to enjoy many happy returns of
this day, and when shall come the solemn
hour when God shall call his soul away.
Oh! tender father, hear my prayer! Be
with him then!
Accept our congratulations for the
present and good wishes for the future.

Hon. ROBERT Ell. JONES made us a
call on last Friday. He confirmed
what we had suspected from reading
the papers-that the members of the
Legislature are all torn up and divided
upon the liquor question. The Re
publicans want to save the party, and
to do this they propose to do what
Christ said cannot be done. He that
gathereth not with us, .scattereth
abroad. Ye cannot serve two masters.
Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
This has been illustrated different
ways within the past eighteen hundred
years. For instance, you cannot ride
two horses at the same time, if they
are going in different directions.
Now you cannot humbug the people
SO as to get the temperance vote and
the Dutch beerjerker vote at the same
time. Gen. Grosvenor was correct.
If by any possibility you can get the
Dutch vote, you must kick the tenn
perance vote out. You cannot get
both. License has been twice voted
down. 1t is an insult to attempt again
to thrust it down the throats of the
people. Submit simple prohibition
amendment. That is what the people
want. Then stop. No tax law is now
necessary. Amend the constitution
first.

OUR former pupil, Hon. William
Allen, Of Iowa, has sent US the Iowa
State Register, containing in full the
decision Of the Supreme Court, in the
case where that Court holds the pro-
hibition amendment unconstitutional.
I We thought we had cold
enough weather here, where the
coolest morning, Jan. 23d, it was nine
a5ove. Now read an editorial from
this Iowa paper:
Nobody but an old settler can tell
of anything, by way Of protracted
cold, to match this weather, and we
doubt if he can. It has been a long
spell of weather below zero. Monday
morning was cold enough for land
mark of comparison in future years.
The weather all over Iowa was proba-
bly, not higher than 80 degrees below
zero. Here at Des Moines the reports
of the thermometers varied from %
to 40 below. The most reliable pri-
vate instruments indicate that it was
at least 35 below. Des Moines has
not had as low a temperature for sew
enteen years, if ever. It is probable
that, with the great mass of snow
covering the face Of the cath, that the
severe cold will continue. It is to be
hoped that much suffering will not be
reported. The people who thought
that the frequent articles Of the Reg
lister in November and early Decem-
ber, warning the people Of such Sc
we're winter as this, and begging them
to prepare plenty of fuel and provis-
ions in time, were uncalled for and
wrong, can now see that they were
and we were right. 1t takes
an old settler to know how to make
ready for winter in Iowa.

Amputation of the Leg.
The Old Family Physician at Fault
DR.. David Kennedy the
Successful Surgeon.

Money is the universal necessity, and none but
cynic or fool will affect to despise It, Mr.. Abram
Ellsworth, of Port Even, Ulster county, N. Y, had
realized this truth. His disease involved the whole
of his thigh-bone and the suffering man looked for
ward, not without apparent reason to death as his
only deliverer. His family physician refused to
putate the limb-asserting that the operation would
kill the patient on the spot. DR.. Dauid Kennedy, of
Rondont, N. Y, who consulted, held different
opinion, and amputated the limb. The Doctor then
administered freely his great Blood Specific FAVOR
ITE REMEDY to afford tone and strength to the
system, prevent the return of the disease and Mr..
Ellsworth remains to this day in the bloom of health
This gentleman's disease the offspring of foul
blood, and Kennedy's FAVORITE REMEDY purified
the blood and restored to him the power more to
enjoy his life. Are you suffering from any disease
traceable to the same cause? Try Favorite Remedy.
