DEMOCRATIC Publications seem to be
universal. They are all over. The old
party of Truth, Justice and the Consti-
tuition has received new life; new wine
in old bottles. There is more need of
reform now than in 1900 when Thomas
Jefferson was elected. Monopoly had
not its grasp upon the country then as
it has now. The alarm then was that
under Federal rule tyrannical central
government was to be established and
free speech suppressed.
This sham Republican party has far
exceeded the old Federal party in all
its infamy. This Republican party's
record when fully exposed and under
stood will show it to have been the
party of robbery and wrong. 1t has
protected" the robbers and justified
the wrong. Its Star Route rascals ran
its campaign in 1880; and another set of
scheming rascals ran it's Blaine cam

THE Vassar College girls have had a
great time over politics. On the night
before the election they determined to
have an election among themselves.
The majority for Blaine was very large
and included every one of the profess
sors and teachers, who also voted.
After the vote the Blaine party deter
mined to have parade. They brought
out their candles from their rooms and
formed a torchlight procession, which
marched through the corridors of the
College, cheering for Blaine and Logan.
Some of the Cleveland girls attacked
the procession asit moved along, throw
ing water on the paraders. Excitement
ran high on election day, and little
studying was done. In the evening
another Blaine procession was formed,
and the girls marched through the Col
lege with umbrellas bearing the name
of Blaine in large white letters, and
shouted to their hearts content. The
Cleveland girls who were saddest then
are now the happiest, and want to know
when they can celebrate. Paint 'erred,
girls. ..'

HERE is Governor Hendricks idea of
civil service reform as expressed in his
speech at Brooklyn last night:
Do you ask me If / am In favor OF
civil service reform? OF course / am in
favor of civil service reform. am not
i'm favor of a continuation of so many
things that We have seen i'm some years
that are past. The people are tired of
it and they want a change. Do you
desire to know from me in what civil
serviceI have confidence? am very free
not particularly confident of success
after schoolmaster's examination.
But will tell you what / have conf
dence in. As 1t was in the days of
Andrew jackson, let true man come
to be the President of the United States,
and let true men be called around him
to aid him in the public service and let
these men resolve that the only test OF
qualification for Office under them shall
be honesty and fitness for the service,
and you have civil service reform.
Precisely what the Plain Dealer has
said and what it repeats now. 1t has
been the rallying cry of the Democratic
party these many years that the civil
service is corrupt and that it must be
reformed. How shall it be reformed
unless the corrupt and inefficient Office
holders are put out?
We say put them out.-Pain Dealer.
And the echo comes up from every
quarter. "Put them outv

THE Lister Telephone Trumpet is the
latest thing out. By its use a faint
whisper can be distinctly heard, and
the necessity of shouting, "Hello," till
you break your back, is done away
with. The Cleveland Sunday Sun says:
"That the trumpet is all that is claimed
for it. is amply proved on trial. Last
week one was attached to the telephone
used on the Encampment Grounds and
gave most perfect satisfaction to the
vast multitudes who had occasion to
use it. A San reporter had occasion to
talk with Toledo and conducted his
conversation in whisper, every word
being distinctly understood and prompt
ly answered from the other end. That
the trumpet is a success in every par
ticular is fully assured by the rigid trial
given it in this city during the past few
weeks, and it is only a question of time
when it will be as much of necessity
as the telephone ITSELF"

COTTON seed is the Southern bonan-
"a. There are three and half pounds
of seeds to every pound of fibre. More
than 100000 tons are produced annual
ly, but, Notwithstanding the rapid in
crease in the number of mills, only
about ten per cent. of the seed is crushed,
the rest being largely thrown away.
A ton of seed yields 35 gallons of oil, %
pounds of cotton, and $50 pounds of
cake used for fattening cattle. The
value of these products is $40. The oil
is largely used for making fine soaps,
and when refined properly can hardly
be distinguished from olive oil, which
it is snpersedhg for many purposes.

IT has always been thought that ears
of corn have an even number of rows,
and that one with an odd number of
rows would be an impossibility. In
slavery times this question was dis
cussed, and a negro in Kentuckey
claimed that he had seen ears of that
kind. His master told him that he
would give him his-the negro's-free-
dom for an ear with an odd number of
rows. This was in early spring, but in
the fall, during corn gathering time, the
negro came with sound ear of corn
with thirteen rows. He got his free
papers. A long time afterward the old
negro said that in roasting ear time he
took a sharp knife, cut out one row of
grains, bound the ear together, and
knew just where to find it when gather
ing time came.

THE st. Louis Globe Democrat, a
Blaine organ, takes its defeat in rare
good humor. Here are some of its OBJ
servations:
He proved deadhead in the enter
prise of carrying the country.
For President in 1888-Some man
who hasn't written any letters.
Mr.. Blaine should have burned those
letters himself, instead of asking an
other fellow to do it.
The trouble began by Blaine'sdesigna-
ton of Conkling as turkey gobbler
twenty years ago. We presume the
returns mean that Conkling is not a
turkey-gobbler.
We believe it was Martin Van Buren,
who said he would rather walk twenty
miles than write letter. IfMr. Blaine
had taken more walks and written
fewer letters, he might have been elect

Good News.

As has been announced in these
columns for some time, DR.. Albert, of
the Cleveland Medical Institute, will
pay this city visit Thursday, Dec. 4th.
This we consider good news to those
who are suffering from any of the
chronic troubles he so ably describes.
Those whom he has so successfully
treated in this part of the State will no
doubt be pleased to see him and bring
their friends. We know whereof we
speak when we say that he isa thorough
ly scientific, conscientious and honor
able gentleman and shining star in
his profession. His name has become
a household word among the afflicted
throughout the West and Northwest,
and all who have been fortunate enough
to place themselves under his treat
ment are unanimous in his praise. DR..
Albert is hot travelling physician in
the full meaning of the word, for most
of his time is required at the Institute
at Cleveland where he is the principal
of full corps of able assistants, special
ly engaged for their scientific attain
ments. But on the earnest solicitations
of his many friends and patients he
consents to make an occasional visit to
this city. We can heartily recommend
him to those requiring his services, and
more particularly to those who have
heretofore been unsuccessfully treated
by others. All will find him eminently
worthy of confidence.
