The new system of postage, by
which an ounce instead of a half is
made the standard weight for letters,
went into effect on the 1st inst. An
ounce-letter may now be sent to any
point within the United States for
two cents. The change will prove to
be of little advantage to the majority
of business men or to the ordinary
letter writer, who usually putin con-
else language what they have to say.
1t will of curse prove to be a wei
come change to spring poets sndsep-
arated lovers. The New York Tribune
in speaking of the change says: i.
"The system, however, which Of
recent years has been almost uni
formly successful in gaining the ap-
proval of legislators is that looking
toward a reduction in the rates of
postage. The great reduction from
three cents to two cents as a single
rate for letters has been followed by
reductions in the cost OF sending pc
riodicals not dispatched from publica-
ton offices and other changes, ending
in the present increase in ihe allowed
weight of single-rate letters. 1t is an
open question whether the system of
reduction is the better one or has
been adopted only because it is on the
surface the n most likely to in
crease the popularity of the legisla-
tors"

The advance sheets of the report
of the Agricultural Department Of IL
linois upon the corn crop of that State
show that the area planted in corn is
much larger than last year, especial
ly in the wheat sections. Insects have
damaged the growing corn seriously
in many portions Of the State, and the
cold, dry season has been u~nfavorable
for planting and growth. Corn in the
northern division Of the State is usu-
ally nearly half that of the entire corr
area of the State, and in 1884 exceed
ed 5000, 900 acres. The average con,
dition of the growing crops June LIST

of II per cent. in the corn area of the
central division as compared with
1884, when 100000 acres we're
planted. The condition is sc per cent.

According to the Methodist year
book for 1885, the statistics of mem
bership in the different Protestant
denominations are as follows Meth
odists, 25,s39 ministers, 1898, 724
members; Baptist, 1929 ministers,
2,552,199 members; Presbyterians,
s,S9s ministers 1902, 044 members;
Lutherans 8, 1850 ministers, SO0,1S9
members; Disciples of Christ, 3,4SS
ministers, 563,92S members; Con-
gregationalists, 1928 ministers, 3S7,-
619 members; Episcopalians, $3.50
ministers, 313,SS6 members. It yill
thus be seen that the Methodists
and Baptists are far ahead of the
other bodies, and that while the
Presbyterians + more than twice
larger than the Lutherians, Congre
gationalists, Disciples of Christ OF
Episcopalians, the Methodists' num-
bers are double those of the Presby-
terians.

Speaking Of the nomination" of
Allen O'Myers the Columbus CORES
pondent of the Plain Dealer, whom
we know to be a good Democrat,
says:
"The contest over O'Myers was
very bitter, and at one time his chief
competitor, Lot L. Smith, was nomi
mated, but several clerks in the state
house, who acted as assistant secre
t%aries, managed to count Smith out
while votes were changed. Over
this considerable bad feeling has
cropped out, which may result in q
serious way to the rest of the ticket"
We quote the Plain Dealer be-
cause it is Democratic testimony, al
though the same facts are recorded
in the leading Republican papers OF
the State. The truth is O'Myers was
not nominated but "counted in
just as he and the Highland House
gang we're two years ago. 1t is the
duty of honest Democrats of Frank.

This is the way Richard T. Gree

This is the way Richard T. Green
a colored orator, who stumped Ohio
in the interest of the republican state
and national ticket last fall, puts it,
in a letter written to John Green, a
colored member of the legislature
from Cleveland:
"The Hon. JOHN GREEN-My Dear
Friend: 1 thank you for the manly
stand you have taken 30 early against
the nomination of Foraker. Stick to
it and rouse the colored vote, which is
grossly insulted by such a nomination.
He was d~eservedly beaten two years
ago and ought to be beaten worse now.

country have eaten political crow long
enough, and if republicans do not re-
spect us sufficiently to pay some slight

When such men are sacrificed for men
like Foraker the negro ought to show
that he has something to say. The re-
publican party has been counting and
inviting defeat for eight years by its
arrant cowardice, truculency and ex-

ton, no heart. and contempt for prin-
ciples. The negro is not responsible
for its blunders, timidity or conse-
quent defeats. But when the party

j. D. Taylor, the blatherskite who
was selected at the Springfield con-
vention to wave the bloody shirt on
high, either displayed dense ignor-
ance in what he said about state poll
tics or else he has no fear Of the fate
that befel Ananias.
For instance, he asserted that when
the Democratic administration came
into power in Ohio in 1854 there was
$4,000 in the state treasury. An ex
animation of the records shows the
amount of money in the treasury at
that time subject to draft was $780,
600. This is lie number one.
He asserted further that under DEM
ocratic rule the treasury has become
bankrupt. This is a most monstrous
falsehood, as there was on the day
Taylor made his speech $4,000 in the
state treasury - nearly twice the
amount the Republicans left there.
TAYLOR further asserted that under
Democratic rule the bonded debt of
the state has been increased $1,000
600. This is another whopper. The
states bonded indebtedness has not
been increased and cannot be increas-
ed under the constitution, and as a
matter of fact has been reduced $780,
600 since Hoadly was inaugurated.
Taylor, in the course of his bloody
shirt screech, said that when the Dem
ocrats came into power in Ohio they
turned every soldier out of the state
house and would allow none there.
This is about the meanest of all Of
Taylor's lies, for the facts are that
whereas when the Democrats came in
to power there were ten eX-soldiers
about the state house, now, under the
Democratic rule, there are nineteen.
And thus do the lying tissues"
raised by the bloody shirt blatherskite
fade away before the cold, hard facts

Two years ago Allen O'Myers was
proclaimed one of Franklin CCunty's
Democratic nominees for the Legis-
~lature, although the fraudulent meth
DDS by which the nomination was
brought about were sc patent that
many hundreds of Democrats repudi-
ated him at the polls, his election be-
ing secured by Republican votes.
While in the Legislature he disgrac
ed that body and the State as no
member ever did before, and on sew
eral occasions was on the brink of
expulsion, the only thing that saved
him being his knowledge of the
guilty practices of other members Of
this, the most edorous Legislature
that ever stunk in the nostrils of the
people of Ohio.
By means similar to those used two
years ago, O'Myers was again declar-
ed nominated. This, we take it, will
be the last straw and unless he is
Withdrawn there will be one Repub-
lican Representative elected from
Franklin county by a majority such
as the county never gave any man.
It is not only their duty as good cit
liens but as good party men for the
Democrats of Franklin to repudiate
the man who has SO disgraced himself
and them, and whose election would
be a triumph Of the worst political
gang that ever rode over the heads of

Knecht Bond.-A Sunday Lob.
Cincinnati Enquirer, (Monday.)

SiIuiASk NAAOLNnS -r
There appears to be some little
trouble about Knecht, the newly ap-
pointed Internal Revenue officer for
this district, giving the required
bond of $240,O00 Yesterday George
Knecht, brother of the .newfy APP
pointed Collector, accompanied by
his attorneys, John Spragg and AL
Kumler, of Dayton, were in Hamilton
and had a conference with Phil
Kumler, United States District attor-
ney of Southern Ohio, and who, by
the way, is a brother of AL Kumler,
of Dayton. The bond, it appears, has
to pass through the United States
District Attorneys hands. 1t is pre-
sumed that all has been fixed up.
1t created some little surprise that
Sunday had TO be devoted to this
business and at so late a day.

In spite of the reckless abuse heap
ed upon the Prohibitionists by the
Republicans, they feel proud of the
record made in the late Presidential
campaign. They promise to show
increased strength this Fall. Having
long ago discovered that neither hon.
esty nor honor has an abiding place
in the Republican party, the apostles
of st. John have cut loose from it for
good, and are bound to make them
selves a potent factor in succeeding
elections. They may not he able to
win many elections for some years to
come, but they a surely punish Re-
publicans for their hypocrisy and de-
ceit in the crusade against the liquor
traffic, and pay them back for their
abuse since last Fall. Let those
whose funeral it is do the weeping.

The distinguished scientist, Pro-
lessor Baird, of the Smithsonian In
stitute, points out that the boiling of
water, particularly that designed for
drinking purposes, is a specific treat
ment for destroying all germs of di-
sease that may be contained in it.
1t is especially recommended as a
protection against cholera and ty-
phoid fever, and diseases of that
class. The boiling should be con.
tinued for half an hour to certainly
be effectual. But this is a cheap and
easy expedient, and, in view of the
known fact that these disc. ses are
most commonly conveyed into the
system through water, is one that
should be kept in mind.

The latest theory concerning
Bright's disease and other affections
of the kidneys is that they are due to
the immoderate use of ice water and
other chilled beverages. Thirty or
forty years ago, a physician asserts,
when people Stacked their thirst with
fresh water from a well or punp p, kid
ney disease was virtually unknown.
Now, however, the general use of ice
in every household and saloon and
the multiplication of soda fountains
cause thousands of persons TO abrupt
ly shock their heated internal organs
with freezing draughts, and kidney
troubles are prevalent.

Jay Gould, although the owner of
millions, thought it worth while to
prosecute the editor of a small Wall

charged that certain dividends of
which he has control were paid with
borrowed money. Such management
is not considered the best upon which
to base a financial reputation. and
Gould wanted damages for libel.

A few Democrats seem to be not
very well pleased ove our way of
the DEMOCRAT. We are a
sure, and always expect to
he, even to the ''moss- back" persua-
sion. So the paper has been demo
cratic at all times and under all cir
cumstances, and we shall do our ut
most to preserve its proud record
untarnished, but our honest duty to
the party as well as to the public, is
to smite fraud and corruption with
an unsparing hand, whether they ap-
pear in the opposition party or our
own, for they are the dreaded ulcers
of the day that threaten alike the
political liberty and the morals of a
free people. If we know of a demo
cratic official going wrong, we will
expose him as readily as a Republi-
can. If the new President does
wrong in our opinion, we expect to
censure, and if he does right give
him praise. If corrupt and schem-
ing politicians force unfit and incom-
petent men into public places of trust
and honor, we will not spare them
because they are democrats. No man
ought to be so politically hide-bound
as to wink at corruption and rascal
ity in his W party, while bowling
denunciations over the same crimes
in that of the opposition. There are
too many such blind and inconsis
tent tools in both parties. We beg
our readers to consider us out of the
list. We are an Independent Dem
o~cratic journal. No an "organ'
like the Eaton Register. The truth
is not in such concerns. Fair deal.
ing is unknown to them. They
breathe nothing but falsehood and
political malice.
If any of these fellows who are dis.
satisfied with our way of conducting
tho DEMOCRAT, think they can run il
better for the party, all they have tc
do is to step up, plank down the price
of the establishment, and we will
