The Washington Post, the organ of
President Cleveland at the capital, bella
bors the corpse of the Ohio Democracy
in the following vigorous style:
"Our Democratic fellow citizens in
Ohio appear 10 have made the mistake
of forgetting that there is such thing
as an obligation TO public opinion which
parties are bound to respect lntrusted
with the destinieS of a great State, and
therefore charged with grave response
bilitieS, an account of which was due
the people, they acted as though they
owed nothing 10 any human source, and
were supreme and Infinite in themselves.
Commissioned by popular impulse to
control the affairs of the Commonwealth,
to promote its welfare and to testify to
the validity of the Demecracy's title to
public appreciation, they have practically
proclaimed their contempt for every law
save their capriceS, and for any approval
save their own. They have smirehed
the character of the Democratic party
with a long and ugly blot of corrupt leg
islation, and, like the VisigOths In the
Senate, have driven forth with rude
hands the fathers and the patriarchs.
They have degraded Mr.. Pendleton
and cast down from the pedestal of a
wheIe communiiy'S reverence and honor
Allen G. Thurman, the party's wisesi
guide and purest counselor. And in their
places they have set up the cheap and
tawdry fetiches of their unwholeSOme
heresy. Thoughtful well wishers of the
party said from the first that the Ohio
Democracy could win only through the
superior stupidity of their opponents,
and not by any merit of their own. 1t
was impossible to suppose that the int
telligenU masses of the State would be
willing to condOne the reeking record of
the H0adly administration and stamp
with their Consent the fagrant conspir
acy to tear down all that was good and
salutary and reverend in order to elevate
what was wicked and mlschievUus and
disreputable.
"Of course, the result has surprised no
observant spectator of events. 1t was
the protest of good DemOcratS-the con-
demnation by honest citizens of dis
graceful and abhorrent Orgie. The cleo
tion of Foraker has been brought about,
not by a greatly increased Republican
vote, but by the disgust and alienation
of Democrats. The latter simply said
to themselves that they would not coun-
tenance peTpetuatioa of the influences
which for two years had been control
ling the Ohio Democracy, and in their
withdrawal from communion, the Sat-
urnalia received It's death blow. The
Democrats of Ohio might as well make
mp their minds to this: They must either
reform their course or arrange to do
without the respect and confidence of
decent people. Fh= lesson of last Tues
daY means so much. aud nothing else"

The Practical Farmers Club.

The Club met at the house of Mr.. Att
kinsOn, October I0th. In the absence of
the President, the Vice President, Mr..
Joseph Thompson, presided.
Appropriate selections were read by
Mrs. Lodge, Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. HOgue,
and Mrs. Pollock.
The discussion, "Whether it is good
policy for farmers 10 Insure" was open-
ed by n. B. Nichels, who is opposed to
life insurance; farmers as class, earn
their living slowly; are pretty sure of
their property, when accumulated, and it
is less liable to be taken from him than
from those engaged in other occupations.
Life insurance for the farmer means liy-
| ing poor that he may die rich. Is in far
vor of insuring property against fire
had been in the insurance business in
Illinois when a young man; thought
farmers should invest in company that
took risks only on farm property.
Mr.. SidebpttOm believes in insurance,
and thinks the question of most inn
portance is, in what company is it best
to take out a policy?
We would say lust here that there
was some little DISCUSSION as to what
company was safest, and offered the best
inducements, but as we have no desire
to get an agent after us, that part will
be left out.
Mr.. Hogue insqres because he thinks
it case of necessitA when a man has
not the means at hanl to rebuild, if his
property is destroyed by fire, it comes
very handy to have a small investment
in an insurance company.
. Il IL
thinks it well to have buildings provided
with lightning rods. Though a man
may pay out money all bis life for insu1
rance. and his property never meet with
an accident, yet the peace Of mind aris-
ing from having his buildings protected
and the assurance of some reimburse
ment in case of loss, is sufficient reason
for insuriug.
Mr.. John shepherd, jr., has his proper
ty insured, and also paid out life insu-
rance policy; he rather intimated, how
ever, that if he had the money invested
in the life policy, with the accum ulated
interest, he would lay it out in some
other way.
Mr.. Lodge insures, and thinks insu-
rance against fire a good thing; some of
his neighbors had paid out their money
for life insurance, but the company
broke, leaving them wiser perhaps, but
none the richer.
Mr.. Thompson was the only member
we believe, who opposed insurance al
together; neither did he favor lightning
rods.
The ladies being called upon, several
of them expressed themselves in favor
of insurance against fire.
The meeting was one of unusual so+
cial enjoyment. Mr.. Atkinson and son
keep their farm in good repair, and raise
good crops, while Mrs. Atkinson and her
daughter are 10 less proVident in house
hold affairs.

NEURALGIA of the Face.

Capt. John Orr, Harrington, Miss, has
been most intense sufferer from facial
neuralgia for over twenty years. He has
had seventeen operations performed on
the nerves-that is, had them divided, cut
off close to the bone from which they
emerge. But this never did him any good;
the most excruciating pain continued
withoue the least interruption. He often
wished for death to relieve him of the in
tolerable pain. The best physicians failed
to relieve him. They finally advised him
to consult Drs. Hartman s. Miller, at the
St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, which
he did. They prescribed PERUNA, and
in less than month was entirely relieved
of the pain. Before consulting these doc
tors the least touch to any part of his face
or nose would cause the most fearful pain,
while now he can blow his nose and wipe
his face without the least fear of pain.
The captain is grateful beyond measure
for this unexpected and unhoped for result.
Mrs. Elizabeth Kenner, ,oS Laurel street,
New Orleans, has been one of the great
est sufferers from Neuralgia of the face
during the past year that we have ever
heard of. From morning to night, and
from night to morning, there was one
constant, racking, tearing, burning pain,
extending clear around her head and deep
down through every muscle, tooth and
bone in her face. No rest and no sleep.
All physicians failed to relieve her, as
well as all remedies. She was constantly
in the most agonizing despair. She called
on DR.. Hartman, who said the cause was
chronic catarrh. He prescribed PRRUNA
for her and now every pain has left her.
She feels like another person and can eat
heartily and sleep soundly.

IT is stated that at the great ports OF
India, there is an unusual number OF
vessels loading with wheat for European
ports and the prospects are favorable to
very heavy exports of that grain within
the next few months. As European de-
mand to a large extent exerts con-
trolling influence over the prices OF
wheat in our American market, and as
the Indian supply will more than equal
that demand, the prospects are against a
speedy return to dollar wheat" in this
country.
