ENTERING WEDGES,

Blackburn, of Kentucky, who has recently
been elected to the United States Senate, in
1879, in speech made in the House, said:
For the first time in eighteen years past
the Democracy is back in power in both
branches of this legislature, and she proposes
to signalize her return to power. She pro-
poses to celebrate her recovery Of her long-lost
heritage by tearing off these degrading badges.
We do not intend to stop until we have
stricken the last vestige of your war measures
from the statute book
The Democracy has entered upon the work
proposed Section 1918, United States Re
vised Statutes, provides that no one who
served in the military or naval or civil service
Of the Confederate States shall be appointed
to any position in the United States army
A Democratic House introduced bill to re-
peal this section, so as to authorize the
appointment of rebels as officers in the army,
including men who had been educated at
public expense at West Point, who afterwards
took up arms against the government.
Section 47l6, Revised Statutes, provides
that no money on account of pensions shall
be paid to any person, or to the widow,
children or heirs of any deceased person, who
voluntarily served the cause Of the rebellion.
A Democratic House introduced bill to re-
peal this section, and the repeating bill con-
tanned section requiring the government to
put back on the pension rolls all pensioners
who had been dropped for disloyalty and for
taking pert in the rebellion, and to pay them
pensions dating back to December 25, 1868.
This bill would have pensioned JEFF. Davis.
The Fitz John Porter bill is Democratic
measure
The Indiana Democratic platform expressly
demands the repeal of all United States laws
which in any way give the government con-
troll of national elections, and that all such
elections shall be put under the exclusive con-
troll Of the States
These are unholy beginnings. The Democ-
racy has served notice that it does mot in
tend to stop until it has stricken the last vest
ige of the war measures from the statute
book" In this distinctive work the Indiana
Democracy will not lag in the rear. AT home
here, during the war, they showed their teeth
They are only awaiting an opportunity.now to
bite.
With these tendencies, the Democratic par
| ty is an ever present and threatening danger
to the peace and prosperity of the country It
is revolutionary party, and purposes revolu-
tions that go backwards. What the people
want are peace and conservative government.
The success Of the Democratic party means
revolution and radical change. Let US have
peace.

MANY years ago, Dr. g. A. Taft, who has
since been the leading homeopathic physician of
Hartford. Conn, fell ill and was supposed to
have the consumption Several eminent physi-
clans, among them DIR. Willard Parker, of New
York, examined him, and united in saying that
he had consumption, that one Of his lungs was
entirely gone the other badly diseased and that he
probably would not live more than six months
DR.. Taft resolved to live as long as possible, and
to that end began a course of high living. He
drank brandy every day and for a long period
ate raw beefsteak at his dinners. After time
he regained his strength and became robust in
appearance, but continued to believe that his
lungs were unsound- He died last week at the
age Of sixty-four, and an autopsy revealed the
fact that botn lungs were perfectly healthy and
had never been otherwise, and that the cause of
his death was disease Of the stomach arising
from too-stimulating diet. Supposed owners
