PILES,

PILES are frequently preceded by a
scnse of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some at
fiction of the kidneys or ncighboring
organs. AT times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are psesent, as tlatulency, M
easiness of the stomach, etc. A mois-
ture, like p~erspiration, producing a
very disagreeable itching, particular
ly at night after getting warm in bed,
is q very common attendant. Blind,

The following is a picture of Ru-
therford B, Hayes by Henry Waiter
SON.:
"But he happened to be a very small
man. He coveted the poor glory of
the Presidency. He wanted the sala-
~, and when he got in he i~mprovised
q temperance movement 10 cut off the
wine bills and save expense. Out of
the 100000 he received during his
four years of service, he carried back
to Ohio $4,000. In office, he reward
ed all the thieves who got him the
place. Therefore. out of Office, he is
an object OF contempt. He is q no.
body. Though he was four years
President of the United States, no
self-respecting body, political, relig-
ious, educational or military, could
afford to make him its figure-head.-
He is reduced for his recognition as q
man, though yet OIL the sunny side OF
sixty, to harvest homes and base ball
clubs,-an actual outcast."

Pefering Out.

That Democratic disaffection which
was going to elect Foraker is rapidly
petering out and dwindling to the
little end ofnothing. Even the Com
mercial Gazette's correspondent who
has been travelling through tae great
back bone of Ohio, where the ''kitk-
ers" we're said TO be most numerous
finds a solidly united Democracy, en-
thusiastic for Hoadly to q man. The
following correspondence to the c. G.
from Holmes county is fair sample
of the feeling among the rock-ribbed
| Democracy Of that whole region oil
the State toward the entire Demo
cratic State ticket:
"This county, with few exceptions.
were for either Geddes or Ward, and
there was some dissatisfaction i'm
mediately after the nomination. But
the Democracy Of Holmes county are
rock ribbed and are taught Demo
cracy from their infancy by theil
%sires, and when they grow up it be
comes a fixed principle for them to
vote a straight ticket. This was
manifested by the vote for Greeley
Ewing, Bookwalter, &c.
The vote in these several campaigns
shows a slight variation; there i:
Walnut Creek Township, in the cas-
end of the county, that even doe'
better than jackson Township, Aug
laize County; it comes up smiling
each year, with from $50 to 275 vote
for the Democratic ticket, and from
5 to s votes for the R. publican ticket
and has not varied for some years
only in the natural increase.
In looking yer the entire fell
here, l am of the opinion that it is no
safe to bank on di%saf1ection in littl
Holmes County, and it is farther
safe to say that the vote will be
party one; this is so for the reason
that there is a small floating vot
and not much material for eithe
party to work on; the probabilitie
are, then, that the usual Democrati
majority from 1850 to 1900, will b
forthcoming in October for the Dem
ocratic ticket.

By March 4, 1885, the so-called

have been in uninterrupted posses

Seneca AdyeTtiscr: Gift is sconsti
tutionaI' to tax saloons 5000, it is
constitutional to tax them $4,000.
If it is constitutional to tax one kind
of business an enormous sum, with
out regard to the valuation of the
property, then it is constitutional to
tax any kind Of business out of exis-
tence. The principle is the same.
Many people object to smoking and
chewing tobacco, others find fault
with extravaganza of dress. Why,
if this plan of taxation is inst and
constitutional, can not those places
of business be taxed out of existence
1t may be popular now withtRepub
%licans, in their blind fury at the
liquor men, to tax that business I'M
equally and unjustly, but if tina
principle of taxation is sustained by
the people, an entering wedge il
secured that may in the future re
turn to plague the very men VIII
now blindly advocate it. Every cit
izen of Ohio is OF an equality, undo
it's constitution5and until thatsinstru
mentofs amended, each has equa
rights under it. Unequal taxation
is wrong, under whatever guase it i
made.

The american Register very truly
observes that the very lavish appro-
priations which made the last Con-
gress justly odious in the eyes of the
people, must have shown to the coun-
try the fact that where a very large
surplus is on hand, the tendencies
to spend money extravagantly are
almost irresistible. When more
money is collected from the people
than can be honestly and economi-
cally expended the clamor for appro
priations at once goes up, and there
are always jobs and schemes enough
to consume all that is left. 1t is not
enough that we watch what becomes
of the money thus collected from the
people by useless taxation; the rem
edy lies in reducing excessive taxa.
ton and taking away the incentive
to waste and wickedness. The Re
publican idea of government embraces
high revenues and heavy resources
and aims to satisfy the public clamol
against it by throwing money away
right and left. A better and more
sensible way is to make the burdens
easy on the people and then manage
the business of the Government lik'
that of the store or the farm. Spent
wisely, carefully, and judiciously
waste nothing, and let our public
servants learn that prudent economy
is not inconsistent with the public
welfare.

nominee for Supreme Judge. 1t is
Mr.. Kirkwood's opinion that Judge
Day should have been renominated,
and that his defeat for tie reason
that he voted against the constitu-
tionality Of the ~prohibitory amend

cision to bolt part of the ticket would
embarrass him, it is doubtful if the
ex Governor appears on the stump
this year. How large a number of Re

in his revolt it is as yet too early to
estimate. He has had in past years
a anger personal following than any
man in Iowa, and if his popularity
and influence still continue his action
may result in defeating the Republi
can candidate for Supreme Judge.

Personal Liberty in Ohio.

Louis Shade, editor of the Wash
ington Sentinel, the organ ofthe Ma
tional Brewers Association, says CT
the contest in Ohio:
What the Republican party in Ohio
is everybody knows, or ought to
know. There is nothing dubious
about its position on the personal
liberty question. The past acts of
the Republican Legislature and the
Republican leaders, from the Gov
ernor down, are but n series ofas-
saults upon personal liberty, and
what their future acts will be they
have made pretty clear in their plat
form and through the character of
their nominees. On the other hand,
the Ohio Democrats and their nom
inees deserve the fullest confidence
and support of the friends of person
al liberty. There is nothing dubi-
Gus about them. They will be in
the future what they Lave been in
the past. 1t is treachery to give aid
and comfort to the enemy. In war
times--and you have war times in
Ohio-any such person deserves to
be shot. You need not shoot the
abettor> of the Prohibition and Re
publican m~isrule; shut them up so
that they cannot injure and betray
you.
Mr.. Schade, with the most of the
brewers of whom his paper is the
representative, supported Foster
both times he ran ard contributed
heavily to his campaign expenses!

The following words of Governor
Cleveland, of New York, at the open
ing of the Sangarfest in Buffalo, in
that State, are both truthful and
appropriate to the occasion:
SAT this moment the reflection is
uppermost in my mind that we owe
much to the German element among
our people. Their thrift and n rgy
have added immensely to Il growth
and prosperity. The sad and solemn
victims of American overwork may
learn of them that labor may be well
done and at the same time recreation
and social enjoyment have their
places in busy life.
