Nowadays few educated young Indians

year 1854, when Hndoo Theism acquired a
new strength from tn, accession of the late
celebrated Ke,huh Clunier Sea into its
rank, christianity has been losing all
charm for the eiucitei Indians. The mis-

of christianity all over India, but fex ex-

THE BED BUG.

Oh, bed bug, in our hours of ease,
Uncertain, coy and hard to seize,
How infinitely worse than Aeas
Is thy accnrsed race!
When, by our daily labors spent.
We rest upon our beds content,
Then, on his bloody mission bent,
He cometh forth apace;
And up our unprotected back
We feel him leave his fiery track
The tortures of the screw and rack
Are tortures tame and cheap,
Compared to this nocturnal pest,
That breaks upon our needed rest
With such a fierce and cruel zest,
And foully murders sleep.
All night we tumble to and fro :
Anon we strike a vengeful blow,
Straight upon that gorging foe
1t falls, alas, in vain;
For swift as lightning from the skies
From that descending blow lie flies,
And on some other portion plies
His bloody work again.
We've tried all things, said to be
good,
To rid our houses of his brood,
But it is quite we'll understood,
They all are shameful cheats
We must admit, if we are wise,
Despite what vendors advertise,
No healthy bed bug ever dies
OF anything he eats.
He may he crushed beneath a bed,
Or perish under human tread,
Or to some spiders den be led
And on his gibbet swung;
But he who says his mixture dire,
Will cause bed bug to expire,
Must be the most astounding liza.
That ever went nnhung.

Such independence as the Banner has
been able to maintain in the past, or
can assert in the future, lisa a sham.
The sympathies Of its editors are
bound to be either for or against the

have come to look upon the "inde-

The flags upon the Government
buildings are displayed at half-mast,
and the Nations Capitol has again
put on its robes of mourning. An
other of the great commanders of the
army has been called to that bourne
from which no traveller returns. The
sudden death of General Geo. B. Nc
Clellen is keenly felt, not only by his
large circle of friends who appreciated
his excellent qualities Of mind and
heart, but by the thousands of sur
viving veterans whOserved with him
in the war, and by the country in
general, which gratefully remember
him in his services. Probably no one
of the great generals Of the Union
Army has been so severely critized
for apparent failures in the accom-
plishment of definite results, but no
question has ever been raised as to
his skill in organization, or courage
in the field.
The Bureau of Economic Ornithol-
Ogy is one of the newly established
branches of the Government service,
concerning which little is known by
the general public. The bureau was
established by a special act of Con-
gress at its last session, and as at pres
ent organized is a division of the De-
partment Of Agriculture, and under
the able supervision of DR.. C. Hart
Merriam, is doing excellent work.
The fact that the birds are influential
factors in checking the increase of in
sects injurious to vegetation has long
been recognized, but the extent OF
these services have never been posi-

nd treachery in the annals of constitu-

The result was, of course, that thou
sands of the rank and file of the New
York Democracy were, for the time be.
ing, disguised and disafected. But the
party, stripped of entangling alliances
and dishonorable associations, rose in
the giant strength of its pristine vigor.
Gov. Hill, Mr.. Cleveland's warm per-
sonal friend and official associate during
his Gubernatorial administration, made
a gallant fight for his old chief. For
the first time since 1876, all wings of
the New York City Democracy-Tam.
many Hall, Irving Hall and the County
Democracy-were in thorough harmony
upon State issues. Tammany re-
deemed herself from the reproach of
Indifference, and did such effective
work for the party as she has not done
since the war. Under these influences
the Democratic organization all over
the State became completely reunited;
disafection was dispelled, and New
York removed from the column of
doubtful States for 1888.
Of course, one effect Of the New
York election will be the complete
emancipation of President Cleveland
from the influence of the Independ-
ents." We have seen the last of the
appointment Of such Republicans as
Pearson, Burt and Herbert Beecher to
office under a Democratic administers
ton. In taking this course, President
Cleveland did what he thought was
wisest and best. He thought he saw
in the independent" faction an ele.
ment that might be propitiated and
"harmonized" and made faithful and
valuable constituent of the Democratic
party. But the developments of the
New York campaign have demonstrated
the error of this view. There is but
one course left to the President now,
Selfpreservation and fidelity to the
people both demand that he should
remove Republican officeholders and
replace them with men in sympathy
with the administration and with the
party to which the people have en-
trusted the government.

which have heretofore been consider
ed as the enemies Of the farmer, will
be shown to be his friends.
The reorganization of the Civil Ser
vice Commission, by the appoint
ment of successors to Commissioners
Thoman and Eaton, at least after
November LIST, is now assured. The
designations of a majority of the Com
mission have been accepted, to take
effect on that day, and it is more than
probable that there will be no delay
after Nov. lst, in makingone or more
appointments. The gossip upon the
subject Of who will be appointed has
not as yet included many available
names, though it is thought that DR..
Gregory will be retained, and it is re-
ported that Mr.. Goldman, of Massa-
chusetts, has been rendered the posi-
ton Of chairman Of the Commission.

Victory in New York.

Nashville American.
The election of Gov. Hill in New
York is a victory for the Democratic
party second in Importance to none
that it has won since the war-not
even excepting the election of Presi>
dent Cleveland last year. The cir
cumstances Of the election we're pecu-
liar, and are not likely to occur again.
Last March President Cleveland was
surrounded by clique of "Independ-
ent' or Mugwump politicians, who
claimed to have elected him, and who
demanded official recognition at his
hands. These men, it must be borne
in mind, did not claim to be Demo.
Gratis. They openly acknowledged
themselves to be factionists, belonging
to neither party, but ready to act with
either, according as it held forth the
better promise of political notoriety
and official pair mage. This faction
President Cleveland chose to recognize
by the appointment Of Mr.. Pearson to
the New York Postohice, Col. Burt TO
the position Of naval officer of the port
and several other Mugwumps and Re
publicans to minor officers.
The two party conventions then met
in New York, and the Republicans
denounced the President and his entire
administration, while the Democrat,
defended both. What was the sur,
prise of Mr.. Cleveland, then, to learn
that the independents" the Mug
wump vipers whom he had warmed
to life on the hearthstone of oficia
patronage, turned to sting their bene'
factor. Every man Of them-Schurz
Curtis, Beecher, White aud the rest
came out ogrinst Gov Hill, and useC
the very Offices they had received con
troll Of from a Democratic administra
ton to aid the canvass of a Republican
who denounced the administration anC
the party alike. There is no more in

THE SmithVille Watchman and
Critic of last week very efficiently
shows up the crooked practices Of GER
tain United States Commissioners and
Marshals who have been operating in
that (DeKalb) county lately, and very
justly denounces the way in which
numbers of the citizens of DeI<alb
were carried before the Federal Court
at Nashville for no other purpose
than to crafty the cupidity of these
Commissioners and Marshals in the
way of fees for making arrests and
summoning witnesses. Hundreds of
arrests have been made by Republic
can MarShals and Commissioners, on
mere rumors of irregularities, and

tify the action, the INSCRIPTIONS Off
Gals little caring who was discomfit

Messrs. LOfiand and Donaldson, the
Revenue Agents who were here this
week, were very outspoken in their
denunciations Of such proceedings.
And the half of this meanness is not
yet told. The Republicans are MAX
ing political capital out'of it, charg-
ing it all upon the Democratic admin
istration, when they know full well
that the dirty work is being done by
Republicans who realize that their
periods Of service are rapidly drawing
to close, and wish to do all the dew
ilment they can while they have it in
their power. They are not only
charging the wrongs for which they
are alone responsible upon the Demo-
Gratis, but in their fast expiring mo-
ments they are using every endeavOr
to burden the revenue service with
all the Odium possible, in order to re.
tard the proper administration of the
service by the Democrats into whose
hands it will soon fall.
