THE preachers who last year denounced
polygamy in one breath and slandered
Grover Cleveland in another will doubtless
be interested TO observe that more has been
accomplished toward crushing out the Nor
mon institution by this administration than
was done by all the Republican administra-
tons the country has ever had.-New Al
bany Ledger.
REPUBLICAN love for the civil service rules
is best illustrated by the case OF Governor
Alger, Of Michigan, who has, within two
months, succeeded in pulling out of office
every Democrat and Greenbacler appointed
by his predecessor, Governor Bagole, filling
them with his Republican friends. Yet they
howl for the rules being enforced during a
Democratic Administration Michigan City
Dispatch.
EVERY newspaper publisher is cursed with
an occasional subscriber whose soul seems to
have been made of the flag end of material,
and scrimp pattern at that, We are always
thankful when such lift themselves from our
list. The sooner the better. They generally
refuse to take the paper out of the postofice
after taking it for two or three years without
paying a cent for it-a plain steal with insult
added, or else they move away without say
ing word or paying a nickel.-Kokomo
Dispatch.
THK attendance at the races at North MAN
chester on the Fourth proves conclusiyely
that horse racing has not lost its hold upon
the people of the country. The crowd in at
tendance was estimated at 5000. There
were no other Notwithstanding to in
duce them to visit the place except the trials
of speed between the horses. We are told
that deacons of churches, ministers and
everybody who generally condemn such
amusements, were there enjoying the pleas
ure.-Huntington Democrat.
1T keeps our Republican exchanges busy
just now to find names mean enough to hurl
at ST. John for taking part in the recent Pro-
hibition Convention in Ohio, and DR.. Leon
ard for accepting the nomination for Gov
ernor. Our Republican friends unanimous
ly declared that the nomination of the tenn
perance ticket was mistake. DR.. Leonard
and the rest of the nominees will continue
to canvass the state in the interest of the
ticket just the same, however much it may
displease the Republidans.-Wells County
Times.
In Congressman Matson's district there is
not single Republican Postmaster left He
has never but once, and then only for tort
night, left the National Capital since the in
auguration of the President. Judge Lowry
district is almost as thoroughly revolution
ized and so is Judge Holman's and Jonas
Howards. Mr.. Cobb has also done good
work in the Vincennes district. There are
fewer Democratic Postmasters in our own
than in any other district in the State, and
up to the present time there has not been a
single removal. Democrats who have been
appointed took the places either of Postmas-
tiers WHO had resigned or whose terms had
expired, 1t is discouraging to be compelled
to make this statement, but it is toe truth,
and we see no way to remedy the delay
Evansville Courier.

EverybOdy's Air-Brake.

Eyes, sah,' said Uncle Zach, ''r watched
it forty years, an its as | seq: De fust of May
an Christmas day of de same year alters
comes on de same week day"
Further conversation proved Uncle Zach a
most incredulOus person. CHANGING to men,
tiol DR.. Carver's feat of breaking glass balls
with a rifle, he said:
81 heerd bout dat shootin' and knowed
right off it wasn't squar dat was Yankee
trick, boss, sho's you born"
"Dar wuz loadstone put into de glass balls,
an likewise onto de bullets; so when de bull
let fly outen de gun, it an de ball jes drawed
tergedder, which, in course, brokes de glass
-dats de tricki'
Later Uncle Zach observed rope running
along the side of the car.
'Boss, what's dat line fur?''
'To apply the air-brake in case of acct
dent" Then we had further to explain how
the force of the brake was obtained, to which
Uncle Zach responded:
Look u here, boss, you sholy don't 'spect
me TO b'leeve dat faplishness? Why, de big
gest harricane whatever bowed couldn't
stop dis train, runnin' forty mile q hour.
An you think gwine to b'leeve little pipe
full of wind under de kyars can do it? No,
sah-reel"
Shere are great many Uncle Zachs who
Judge everything simply by appearances.
The air-brake does not seem to be a very
powerful thing, but power and efficiency are
not necessarily equivalent to bigness and pre-
tense
Phillip Beers, Esq, who resides at the
United States Hotel, New York City, and is
engaged in raising subscriptions for the New
York World Bartholdi pedestal fund, was
once upbraided by distinguished relative,
who was physician, for commending in such
enthusiastic terms a remedy that cured him
of Bright's disease eight years ago. He said:
''Sir. has the medical profession. with all its
power and experience of thousands of years,
anything that can cure this terrible disor-
der?' No, no, that is true, there is no mis-
take about it, but that Warmers safe cure is
really wonderfully effective preparation.
That remedy is an 'air-brakc" that every
man can apply, and this fact explains why IL
has saved SO many hundreds of thousands OF
lives. Copyrighted, used by permission OF

Turf. Field ard Farm saws:

A horse which once attracted great attention in
the streets of New York fell lame and was sent to
the country. There he formed the acquaintance
of a dog-a cross between the st. Bernard and
northumberland the two soon became very
fond of each other. When the horse died straw
was spread over his body until pit could be dug
The dog seemed to be disconsolate. He ran off to
a neighbours house where his brother had a home,
and an hour later the dogs were seen to approach
the carcass. They carefully removed the straw
from the body, squatted down. one at the head and
the other at the tail. and h0wled mOurnfully, then
recovered the remains and crept silently away.
The workmen who witnessed the scene
strangely moved by it, and they insist that il
one OF the saddest and most touching of ceremo-
mics. The dead was placed out OF sight, bnt the
dog often paid a visit TO the grave.

THE CHOLERA.

The cholera is slightly on the increase In
Spain, but it is gratifying to note that the
Der of new cases IS diminishing, showing
that either the disease is less malignant in
form than it was a week ago.. or is better
treated and handled by physicians and nurses.
The report that every one of the forty
seven nuns inoculated by DIR. Ferran have
died, is a CHASTITY commentary on that physi-
clans method and the use of his prepared
virus" The popular feeling against his pro-
cess of incubation is becoming intense, and
there is little chance of it, being longer an
effective preventive measure, even on the
"faith cure" principle.

THE MoRMoNs.

The President having telegraphed General
Howard to keep all posts of the Western
Platte Department in full strength indicates
that the administration proposes to suppress
promptly any attempted hostile outbreak of
the Mormons. That sect begins to realize
that polygamy must go, though they seem
determined to hazard their earthly all rather
than relinquish their plural marriage Gus

surrender to the inevitable, outlawed as it is

say that w0believe that the public will not

for their effort, heroic and single-handed as
it was, to bring the ead-tainters of the

issue of their war was purity in human diet

Mr. CROWLEY criticised with some vigor
the Presidents Sunday fishing trip, which
he characterized as wholly out of keeping
with the dignity and decency of the Presi-
dental Office, whatever might be the Presi-
dents personal religious belief; his action
wounded the religious feelings of the great
masses of the people of the country, and in
that respect it was a wrong thing.-New

THE Republican nominee for Governor of
Virginia is the son of the man who hung
John Brown. How touching the coinci-
dence When the grand old party renovates
its political glee clubs and they sing, ''Old
John Browns body lies a-moldering in the
ground, but his soul keeps marching on"
we can imagine the enthusiasm that will
doubtless be enkindled to cast a ballot for
the Republican candidate for Governor.

WHY Do doctors Presoribe Liquorse

Because they know not what else to do; or
because sometimes little liquor serves to
kindle the exhausted fires of digestion.
But this liquor prescription is bad business
for the patients, for it makes drunkards out
of large majority OF them. Browns Iron
Bittcrs does not kindle a temporary fire.
1t nourishes, enriches strengthens, purifies.

Edmund Dorr was an oddlty who
lived in the suberbs of Hallowell, Me,
half Il century ago. On the l4th day
of February he logged into town on
his horse sled aud was arrested for vi
olating a city ordinance requiring all
sleighs and sleds to have bells attached
Dorr Was arranged before Justice of
Peace and fined. lie paid his fine but
swore he would have revenge. And
on every l4tll day Of February for -
wears, SAYS writer in the Hallowell
Register, Dorr made an annual visit to
Hallowell, seated in IN ancient cutter
and driving Il ringboned mare, to
whose harness nearly 200 jingliEg bells
of all sizes and degrees Of discord We're
fastened There were sleigh bells and
COW bells and dinner bells and all sorts
of bells on the rigging, ard the old
man made as much commotion as if he
had been full brass band. He re-
peated this performance annually till
he died, and took IL grim satisfaction
IN thus squaring his account with the
city that had fined hin.
