Gen. w. ii. II. Davis, a tried anG
true democrat who has been appointed
Pension Agent at Philadelphia, is q
son of the late General John Davis
who was kno wn years ago in Pennsylva
MIA as leader in the. Democratic par
ty. He held the Office of surveyor Of
the port of Philadelphia during the ad
ministration of President Polk. He
gave his son a good education, start
ing him first in the schools of the state
and afterwards sending him to the
Harvard University Law School. He
was at this latter institution when the
Mexican war broke out He dropped
his studies, enlisted as private in
Caleb Cushing's Massachusetts, regi
ment and served to the close of the
fight. In 1858 his knowledge of the
Southwestern portion of the country
gained him the appointment of secre-
tary of the territory of New Mexico
and his success there was so great that
part of the time he held the position
Of acting governor.
About 1857 he returned to Pennsyl.
vania and purchased the Doylestown
Democrat which he has edited ever
since. When the rebellion broke out
he raised the l04th Regiment,of which
he became colonel, and after some
hard fighting earned his promotion to
a brigadier generalship for gallant and
meritorious service. In 1865 he was
the Democratic candidate for auditor
general, but was defeated by General
Hartranit. In 1882 he ran for Con
gress in the Bucks Montgomery Dis
tIict, but was again defeated. In 1884
he was taken up, as forlorn hope, to
lead the Democracy in the fight for
congressman-at large, but was once
more defeated.
MIR. Davis succeeds A. Wilson Nor
ris, who was appointed last year after
a prClracted contest, which caused
much excitement among Republican
leaders.
He is brother-in-law of Chief JUS
tice Merour.

The conviction of Cluverlus at Rich
mond of the murder of his cousin, Miss
Madison, was remarkable in that there
was no evidence,positiv or circumstan-
tial, to directly connect him with the
crime, yet so firmly has the belief in
his guilt taken hold of the legal autho
rites that no effort of his counsel has
succeeded in securing new trial.
Another remarkable circumstance is
that the women of Richmond who were
particularly jubilant over his convic-
ton, now tina. it is almost certain that
he will be hung, are beginning to send
him flowers.

THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
gives the following timely advice to Re-
publicans who are agitated concerning
the outlook for the temperance cause in
Ohio:
There is no temperance question of a
political nature before the people of Ohio
this year. 1t would seem to be good
time, therefore, for those who are keenly
alive TO the evils of intemperance and
believe in the political methods of inter-
ference with them, to consider whether
they have not gone far enough in help
ing the Democratic party to power. for
if there is any one thing more certain
than another it is that the Democratic
party has no principles on any question,
and that its prejudices are against all re-
straint upon the evils resulting from the
traffic in liquor.
A Republican Legislature is wanted
in Ohio this winter to undo the bad hu-
siness of the Legislature of last winter;
to enfranchise the people of Cincinnati
in police matters; to regulate the liquor
traffic by discriminating constitutional
taxation, and to elect Republican Sem
atur to the Senate of the United States,
that the Senate may be maintained Re-
publican. and the National law-making
power kept out of the hands of the Dem
Ocratic party.

The reason people despise patent medicines
is because they are usually recommended to
cure all diseases; this must be a mistake, be-
cause the great success of the Shaker Extract
of Roots (Siegels Syrup is due solely to the
fact that it is made to cure one single disease,
namely: Indigestion, for which it is certain
remedy; the aching head, constipated bowels,
causing languor and fatigue, vanish as soon
as this remedy is used. A H Noon, of Fancy

Mr. DORMAN B. EATON, of the Civil
Service Commission, in the last number
of the North American Review, says
the theory of its enemies that the civil
service act will fill the offices with boys
and girls, finds its answer in the fact
that the average age of all those exam
ined has been thirty years, thus show
ing an average period of nearly fourteen
years of practical life between leaving
the schools and entering office. The
prediction that college bred men would
monepolize appointments is answered
by the fact that of 1866 applicants as to
whom the record is complete, the educa-
ton was as follows: 1920 only in the
common schools; 1,096 in part in the
common schools and academies; 81 in
part in the business colleges; 449 in part
in colleges. More than 70 per cent,
therefore, had only public school edu-
cation. rhe showing speaks volumes
in favor of the public school system.

SECRETARY MANNING is quoted in the
N. Y. World as saying that Under the
present Administration matters we're to
be conducted on a business like basis,
and as the Democratic party was to be
held responsible for the acts of its Off
cials, it was but just that its own people
should hold the positions" 1t should be
remembered that Mr.. Manning is the
Secretary of Mr.. Cleveland, and notwith-
standing the protestations to the con-
trary, the doctrine Of ito the victors be-
long the spoils" as thus enunciated by
him, is the Presidents. The beautiful
civil service theories are fast disappear
