The labor interests seem to be in a
decidedly disturbed condition through
out the country. Wages are low,
strikes are frequent and bitter, and
there seems to be widespread dissatis-
faction among those who are depend
ent upon their daily labor for support.
The dullness in the manufacturing
interests, the shutting down of mills
and factories, and the general unwill-
ingness of capitalists to invest their
means, render the situation altogether
gloomy. This is the condition of
things in which the Ohio Democracy
see revival of business prosperity.
This is the prosperity which prepares
the people for the alms-house and the
grave. This is the prosperity which
characterized the good old Democratic
days, and toward which we are all
travelling. under Cleveland We are
glad that our Democratic friends are
honest in this matter, and claim the
experience Of the present as the true
Democratic style Of prosperity The
people like a prosperity which they
can feel. They can feel the present
style.

aug. lO. 1000.
Mr. Davis Mackley:
DEAR SIR:-In looking over fathers
papers / came across an unanswered
letter from you, and since his death
am in receipt Of another. | suppose
by this time you have received copy
of our Paper, containing an account
of his death. He would have answer
ed your first letter, but had been una
BILE to do any writing, for some three
months previous to his death. | will
try to answer the question of your
letter. so far as my knowledge of it
extends. In regard to prohibition in
Kansas, it is in some particulars a
success, in others it is not. ! don't
think it has diminished the sale Of
liquors but very little, yet there is not
so much drunkenness seen on our
streets as before the new law went in
to effect. 1t now protects the Drug
gist in the sale Of liquors, and places
the blame where it rightly belongs
on the purchaser, or drinker. | will
try and send you copy Of the Law,
and you can see for yourself that it
enforced the Law is a good one, and
the people Of Kansas seem disposed to
see the Law in full effect, now that it
is Law. | am not in position to
form very correct view Of the ques-
tion, for our town is yet in its infancy
it has no saloon, and | can only form
my opinion from what | read in our
neighboring county papers. We are
located in the very best part of Kan
sas. and will soon have railroad,
when we will begin to enjoy some OF
the privileges and enjoyments we left
in "Old Ohio" As you will see by
this letter head, am working in a
Bank, and my time nearly all taken
up by the duties of the position hold;
consequently l will have to make this
short Hoping have been of some
use to you in the above "Prohib'
remark, [ remain Yours
JOHN I'll. TYRRELL.

Stop And Think !!
CAN THE PEOPLE AFFORD A DEMO
CRATIC VICTORY In OHIO?

It would be a good thing for every
voter in Ohio to consider well the as
pect of the field Of politics, with all
its possibilities for evil, before casting
his ballot at the coming election.
The election in Ohio is not mere
contest for the Office of Governor, be-
tween two gentlman, one Democrat
and the other Republican. There
are important matters bearing upon
this election that should be carefully
considered It is, for instance, of
vastly more Importance that the Re-
publicans should carry the Legislature
than the office Of Governor. This, as
considering the two in their relative
Importance. But there IS a still better
feature of the political situation. The
Republicans may carry both, by hand
some majorities. We should make
extraordinary efforts in that direction
this year. Every Republican will
shudder to think of the United States
Senate passing into the hands of the
Democrats, and our efforts, therefore,
should be directed toward sending a
Republican successor to Senator Sher-
man-and if the Senator will accept,
no other name will probably be
thought of-and thus give testimony
Of Ohio's decided opposition to the
Senate passing into the possession Of
the party of Jeff. Davis. No one who
knows anything of the character of
the Democracy as political party
will doubt the utter recklessness Of
the party, or it's readiness and willing
ness to go to any length in fastening
its hold upon the Government, and
undoing as far as possible the good
work of the past twenty years. With
that party in supreme. control of the
Government, do you think it would be
very long before an attempt would be
made to reorganize the Supreme
Court, and begin in earnest the undo
ing of the glorious work of the Re
publican party. Have we not had
enough with the Supreme
Court in Ohio to enable us to under
stand about how far Judicial dignity
goes, in the face of Democratic preju-
dice?
The only safe thing for the Repub-
licans Of Ohio to do now is to vote
the straight Republican ticket, elect
the State ticket, and elect a good ma
jority in the Legislature, thereby
a good, safe Republican to
the United States Senate. We have
all tried the Democracy sufficiently to
know that it is not safe to entrust
Them with the reins Of Government:
In fact, it never was.

Mr.. Matthias Doll, business place No.

New Orleans, has been a most intense
sufferer from kidney trouble diabetes for
the last six long and weary years. He
said to us: "Even earlier than that 1 fire.

and frequent making of water, but gave it
no thought until about the time stated,
when the almost constant desire to make
water became uncomfortable. The pain in
the back, and sometimes in the legs. made
me SO lame at times that could scarcely
walk. I consulted one of the best doctors
in this city, and was under his constant
treatment for one entire year without de-
irving the least benefit. then consulted
from time to time, during the last five or
six years, six other physicians, each one
standing in the front rank of the medical
profession in New Orleans, and though
sometimes was a little relieved of some
excruciating suffering, yetupon the whole
I was not only no better, but in many re-
spects much worse. My limbs became SO
swollen and sore that I could not cross
my legs when sitting on chair-all of

The swelling and stiffness in my legs has
disappeared, and instead of making water
every fifteen minutes, now make it once

twice in a whole night. I am, indeed,
quite well again. Don't hesitate, don't

BRAZIL, Iowa, Aug. 90. 1885.
Yours Of the 18th came to hand.
In regard to our Prohibition law,
will say that we have no prohibition
party in Iowa. I believe the law pro-
hibits as much as any law in Iowa. I
have never seen drunk man since
the law went into effect.
Several published statements of the
practical workings of the prohibition
law, from sources opposed to it hav-
ing appeared, the State Temperance
Alliance has sent out inquiries to
every township in the State, to learn
the effect of the law, after one years
trial. and has already received replies
from $40 townships, ranging through
80 of the SO counties of the State.
These returns show there are 500
fewer saloons in these townships than
there were prior to July 4th 1884,
when the law went into effect. As
these replies have come in at ran
dom, from different parts of the State,
the same ratio Of decrease for the
whole State, would show 5000 fewer
saloons as result Of one year of pro-
hibition. OF the $40 townships re-
porting, but IS were opposed to the
enforcement Of the prohibitory law.

focked to the stricken home to see
the miracle-and all united in pro-
nouncing it miracle-that the pro-
lection Of the police was necessary
against the vast crowd. Now let the
skeptic go away and scoff at the idea,
and declare that the cross was stamped
IN the cloth before it was placed upon
the corpse, if he will. It will only
prove that he does not know any
thing about miracles. Here was a
genuine, full-grown miracle, which
all could readily see. The most skep-

cross was there, shining from the rag.
And how could a cross be stamped
upon rag, save by a miracle?

D. Mackley Esq, Dear Sir:
Yours of August 18th, just received.
In answer to your inquiry regarding
Prohibition in this State, [ will say,
that my observation is that "Prohibi-
tion does not prohibit. am practic-
ally a Temperance man, do not use
liquor in any way, and would be glad
to see some means adopted that would
stop the sale Of the stuff. Our present
law is about as far from accomplish
ing that end as it possibly could
bet simply transfers the traffic from
Saloons to Drug-stores, and while
Whiskey cannot be obtained to be
drank where it is sold, it is not the
least trouble for any one, having the
money, to obtain it in any quantity
from half pint up, and | have not
the least doubt but that there are more
gallons of Whiskey sold in Kansas,
under so called Prohibition, than there
was in the same length of time under
the old license law.

bered kindly to you.

thinking Of coming to this part Of the

acres under cultivation, price if sold
