own interests, and who defantly pro- claims unaying eHmity to all monop- olies, snd all other foes of the down trodden masses. This man may be merely an i'll baanced zealot. There are such instances. But the over whelming probability is tEat he is simply an ignorant, selfish, blatant, small bore demagoeuc, seizing ad- vantage of too prevalent disposi- tion to take a glib tongued fraud at his own rating, and bent only on pushing his own personal interests. No man ot this kind has ever exert ed good influence on legislation. If not readily captured by the emis- saries of the foes lie started out to fight, his miserable demagogy soon excltes general disgust, to the inju- Try of any cause he espouses.
 Another class is represented by the man whose leading object is the per diem and perquisites of Q legis- lator. It is matter of notorety that not few legislators are mainly in- huenced by this object. The posi- tion is presumably sought as one of honor and usefulness. No pecunia- " inducement is offered. The pay is deemed only sufficient to defray one's necessary expenses while seiv- Ing the public. It is place of hon. or, not of profit; yet the fact is known to be as stated. And it is not too sweeping to assert that no man who seeks the place of legislator as Financial speculation is fit to repre- sent any intelligent, self-respecting community.
 Shelving these two worthlessclass- es IS reform within the power of the people in any community. They do not want demagogues, nor men who seek the halls of legislation as n financial speculation. They do not want men pledged lrrcvocably for or against this or that measure. in advance of facts not yet within their grasp. They want men too in telligent to be sneered at as ignor- amuses, too honest to be brlbed, and too falrminded to willingly do in- justice to any individuals or classes whose interests may be subject to legislative action.

continued Gen. Hunton, "Messrs. Barbour and Daniel, and when the contest narrows down in our State to two recognized leaders, one or the other will finally succeed. 1 think that MT. Barbour has the largest fol lowing for the rank and file of the party consider that the State owes him great debt of gratitude. Ma hone beat us two years in succession, and it looks as though he had the State so firmly in his grasp that the Democracy was powcrless. When the third effort was about to be made, the party determined to make SUI preme move, and John s. Barbour was put at the helm. He made a systematic canvass of the situation, organized the party in every village and hamlet in the State, and gave the shrewdest advice and counsel at secret meeting of the party leaders. The result was the completed rout- ing of the enemy. He was again chosen chairman of the Campaign Committee last August, and to his astuteness and splendid generalship, more than any one thing, is the re- cent victory in Virginia due. 1 think it is almost certain that he will succeed Malone, and Governor. elect Ftz Hugh Lee will you the same thing if you ask him."

Democrats, was true to her Demo cratic colors, and the sregulars" won decisive battle in Baltimore. In Massachusetts the Democracy made the splendid gain of twenty two members of the Legislature. In stanch Connecticut the Demo crats gained sixteen legislators.
 In the banner Republican State of Iowa, where the Republicans used to roll up majorities counting up to and over S0,000, the Democracy dragged them down to a beggarly plurality of 7,500.
 Not in New York alone but almost all over the Union the Democratic party nobly sustained the great vic tory which revolutionized the Gov ernment last year. Everywhere ex- cept in Ohio Republicans was weak ened and stretched upon the field
 This IS retrlbutive justice! For twenty four years the Republicans have tried to persuade the country that Democratic rule meant ignor- ance, bigotry, incapacity, disloyalty and destruction to business. The Democratic Administration of the Restoration has proved to the coun- try that Democratic rule means hon est and efficient government, tho ob liberation of sectional issues, the pro. tection of labor, loyalty to the con stitution and the general elevation of the standard of public honor and pubic morality.
 The Democratic Administration notwithstanding tho mistakes of Mugwumpism, has accomplished the great good of exposing the Republ- can lies which have so long imposed upon tue country and caused sincere but simple men to dread Democratic success.
 The Republicans have lost their ability to scare the people about a Democratic Administration. With out scare and fraud and deception the Republican party has no issue on which to stand before the people It is rebuked for it's falsehood. De mocracy has come to stay.

With the price of cotton below nine cents pound, suggestions like the above arc quite pertinent and well worth consideration. The coun- try is getting down to hard pan. To make business profitable new meth ods must succeed the careless and extravagant methods that have pre- vailed to so great an extent in the past. The very easiness with which a living Is made in this country is a drawback to improvement. Half the labor, system and economy required to gam bare support in the older States would soon lead to absolute independence here.
 Overcropping is perhaps the most serious abuse connected with farm ing in this country. Overcropping and thorough cultivation never go together. Cheap lands encourage It, and fertilizers arc regarded as . useless expense. Less land and bet ter cultivation would yield much better profit and quite as large a crop. Take an example of the pres ent penny wise pound foolish policy Cotton seed is one of the best known fertilizers; yet cotton seed is being sold for shipment here at SC q ton, when half a ton Of seed applied to an acre of ground will double it's yield and return profit three to five times as great as that for which they are sold! There is no profit in such short-sighted management as this, but there is debt and mortgages to the end. More active business method and thorough system of work would soon bring this country out of the tolls of debt and increase it's prosperity to q wonderful degree.-- Washington Press.

Come to Stay.

The New York World makes this resume of the recent elections in the various states, and 1t is so full of promise and encouragement, and truth as well, that we give it to our readers verbatim.
 The Democratic victory in New York last Tuesday week was SO great as to drive other States out of peo ple's thoughts. But there was fight ing all along the line. And nearly everywhere Democratic triumphs and gains give evidence that the De mncracy has come to stay.
 New York, the pivotal State, rolled up her Democratic majority against special disadvantages and against d united Republican party eonsolidat- cd Tn favor of remarkably strong ticket-the strongest 1t has put up in many years, and probably the strongest it could have put up.

ROBERT sMEDLEY'S
Testimony as to Cancer Cure

For many years l was sufferer with cancer of the nose, and having been cured by the use of s. $. S., feel constrained by sense of duty to suffering humanity to make this statement of my case.
 I first discovered the sore on my nose, which afterwards proved can cer, during the year 1863, while in the army of Tennessee, stationed at Bull Gap. At first it gave me but little trouble, still could not get rid of it, and though tried hundreds of remedies 1t gradually grew worse, and during the last two years troub- led me greatly. Something over year ago l was advised to take s. s. &, and was finally induced to try dozen bottles. When the dozen bot ties were taken un, though my gen. eral health was much benefited, the cancer remained on my nose. l con. cluded to take no more of the $. s. S., but my friends made critical examination of the afflicted member and decided that 1t looked better, and prevailed on me to continue the medicine. With the fourteenth bot tie the cancer began to heal rapidly and soon disappeared, and for several months there has been no appearance of a sore of any kind on my nose or face, neither is my nose at all tender to the touch. 1 have taken about two dozen bottles :. $. S., and am soundly cured, and know that $. S. s. effected tue cure after every known remedy was tried and had failed. I will further state that my mother had cancer on her nose on the same side and the exact spot relative ly that mine was, and I had always thought mine was hereditary and in- curable. ROBERT SMEDLEY.

sheridan on the Indian Question

WASHINGTON, November 19.-In speaking of the address made by the President by the committee from the Lake Mohawk Indian conference, in which they required him to ask in his message to divide the Indian lands into severalty, so the tribal re- lations might be destroyed, General Sheridan said last evening: "I have been advocating that thing for near ly twenty years, and if my recon mendations had been adopted when 1 first made them many thousands of lives and millions of dollars might have been saved. My plan is to give each family 320 acres and have the Government buy the remainder of the reservation at $l.25 an acre, and pay for it in 4 per cent. bonds. The interest on these bonds would be enough to support the Indians, educate them, civilize them, buy them cattle and agricultural imple. ments and hlre good men to teach them farming. Take the Crow re- servation, for example, where we have so much trouble keeping the Indians. It embraces 5,000,000 acres of the best land in the world, owned by about 500 families. Give each family two sections, and from the proceeds of the sale of the remainder of the land would be at least 5000, 900. The interest would give about $500 a year to each family, and that would give them all the money they need The same is true Of all the Indian reservations. II cost the Government $200,O00 to keep the boomers out of the Indian Territory last year-to keep settlers off from lands that are idle. Although they are valuable, they arc bringing their owners nothing. These lands If sold, just like the crow reservation, would b-ing a fund the interest ef which would support the Indians perms uently, The Indians are the richest land owners in the country, but their property is not bringing them any thing"

rhe Mystery Explained.

Since the consolidation of the Brothers of Freedom and Wheelers political papers have ceased their bowling. Why thls sudden silence2 Economist.
 Nothing at all mysterious about the silence of the political papers. The Economist and Wheel Enter prise both condemned the attempt to convert the different agricultural organizations into class political party, and the consolidated Wheel in it's platform and resolutions con tained nothing of a political nature. so there is no need of the papers saying anything further. The DO litica' papers desire to see the farm. CTS organize for the advancement of their profession and self protection. and so long as politics is kept out. the political papers will assist the organizations in any way they can. The Economist and other papers Of it's iIk, doubtless would like to see the organizations attacked by tho political papers, that the former may profit by arraying the farmers agalnst them.

A Rating Rlyar.

The season for rafting upon the Chip
prwa will close in about two weeks, and
50 far it is believed by lumbermen that
the changes in the channel of the river
ind the existence of other distractions,
as the result of the food of September,
1891. have caused more damage to RATS
than has been felt for any season for the
last ten years, considering the amount of
lumber thus transported. Nearly all the
mills are now running, clearing up for a
final close of the saving season of 1855.
and though large supply of logs is still
in store, the seasons work has been very
satisfactory. There viii be no demand
for men to work in the woods here this
winter, as hundreds of available men are
idle. waiting for ii chance to hire out at
almost any wages.
