Cincinnati has just been treated to
specimen Of Grover Cleveiand's kind
of Democratic Reform. Last fall
Michael Mullen, Police Lieutanant
Of that city, imprisoned one hundred
and fifteen colored men for the pur-
pose-as was supposed at the tic:e-
Of keeping them aw ~ from the polls
At least such was the result Of the
arrest, and the prisoners did not vote.
Mullen was arrested and convicted.
He was sentenced to one year in Jail,
but the President few days ago par
doned him out Thus it aeems to be
no misdemeanor in the eyes of Cleve-
land to deprive colored man of his
vote by arresting on trumped-up
charge. This little move will doubt
less greatly assist Hoadly in his grasp
ing for the colored vote.

Turning On The Gas !
A MOVEMENT In THE DIRECTION OF
CHEAPER LIGHT AND FUEL

For some time our people have been
discussing the proposition as to whether
there may not be deposit of oil or nat
ural gas underlying this coal region,
which it would pay to tap by sinking
wells. Opinion is of course divided upon
the subject. Wehave watched with some
interest the boring of wells at Ironton
and Portsmouth. At Ironton the well
was put down perhaps seventeen hundred
feet-we do not recall the exact figures
and there was no profitable results. At
Portsmouth the well went down more
than thousand feet, without finding any
fluid other than water, and no gas. Yet
in many parts of the State oil and gas
have been found in abundance.
Mr.. Grove, who has been boring at
Portsmouth, called a meeting on Satur-
day night, to ascertain what measures
any-our people will take towards solv-
ing the oil and gas problem in this
County. The meeting was well attended.
Moses Sternberger was Chairman, and
stated the object of the meeting, calling
upon Mr.. Grove to state his proposition
to the people, which was this: He pro-
poses to go to depth not exceeding two
thousand feet, for two dollars per foot.
Then he will retain enough of the stock
of the Company to reduce the price of
boring to one dollar and sixty-fve cents
per foot. This would make the cost Of
the well-should he go two thousand feet,
about thirty-three hundred dollars. He
agrees to leave derrick and fixtures, in
case oil or gas be found, but in case the
well proves failure, he takes possession
Of these again.
A committee was appointed to solicit
to the stock, and an encour-
aging start was made. Addresses were
made by H. L. Chapman and Irvine Dun

A Great Victory
A Terrible Case of ScrofuIa
Cured by
Hoods SarsapariIIa

I" In the winter of 1879 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually eXuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my sufferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, I was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation of W. j.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, 1 was induced
to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully leSS.' do not know what it may
have done for others, but / do know that in
my case, Hoods SarSaparilla has proved an
effective specific indeed. AS an evidence of
my gratitude I send these facts unsolicited,
and am ready to verify the authenticity of
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it." CHARLES A. ROB-
ERTS, East Wilson, N. Y.
This statement is confirmed by W. j. Hunt
ley, druggist, of Lockport, N. Y, who calls the
cure q great Victory for Hoods Sarsaparilla.

The Ir07ato7lia7a says that Richard
Mitchell recently died in Kentucky, and
that he was the man who slew the father
of Tomlinson, of the Bee. We had heard
that the son killed the slayer of his father,
but the Iroaatoaai0aa says that the boy
stabbed Mitchell fifteen times, but did
not kill him. According to this Demo-
cratic paper, Mitchell-who was Rebel,
shot and killed Tomlinson in quarrel, in
which Mitchell was assaulted with stones.
He was evidently one of those cowardly
copperheads who sneaked in the rear,
swearing vengeance on Union soldiers.
and watching for sick soldier to pounce
upon. They deserved about as much
mercy as a viper, and the man who cut
one of them in two did glorious thing.
We think is would be great deal bet
ter for politics, for the church, and for
mankind generally. if religious matters
are not dragged into the field of politics.
1t is all well enough to get off such ex-
pressions as "let man vote the way he
prays." But the alternative is not given,
as a rule, in politics. If the situation
presented, from time to time, thorough
going Christian and decidedly immoral
man as rival candidates. it would be more
reasonable to talk thus, but in the very
nature of our institutions, all kinds of
people come up for Office, and the idea of
a man voluntarily disfranchising himself
because the religion-or lack of religion
of candidate did not suit him, seems to
us most unreasonable.
