In the house (says a writer in the
Brooklyn Magazine) the Turkish
women appear TO better advantage.
They wear handsomely decorated slip
pers. or more often sit barefoot. and
the dress skirt is let loose to trail, the
trousers are drawn down to the ankles,
and the ferijee thrown aside with the
wash max and above all, the face is
washed of its disfguTing paint, which
is only worn in the street. The TUX
ISL women then are seen 10 have
smooth, polished skins, clear com
plexions, and a pretty color. though
dark. They are in many respects the
handsomest race of women IN
the face though they have abso-

Circassians that You see among them

though the life of utter idleness and
constant gOrmandizing makes them
grow fat also. The drollest thing is
that freckles are considered the highest
mark of beauty, and only the Circas-
SLAMS have them. The women eat
much food, candies and preserves, and
drink inOrdinate quantities of Serkys
tea aud milk for their complexion, and
eat rice in every imaginable form.

The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1886-09-23

The proposed change in the con
stitution of the Knights of Labor
amounts to a liberalization of the
order, and will assimilate it's org
anization closely to that of the
United States government. It is
believed that the creation of state
assemblies subordinate to the nat
ional assembly or congress of the
order, and of the state executives
under the general direction OF
a chief executive having authority
over the whole country, will make
the machinery of the organization
less unwieldy. The effort to ieffec-
lively maintain direct relations be-
tween the central authority and
local district organizations all over
the country has resulted in impos-
ing upon general headquarters
such immense labor in detail work
that the avoidance of confusion
became impossible. Under the
proposed reorganization it is ex-
pected that the workings of the or
der will be more orderly and not
less Democratic.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1886-09-23

The rascally and corrupt school
book firm of Van Antwerp, Bragg
& Co., should be crushed out OF
existence. 1t is a thieving mono
poly which directly effects every
household alike in the State. Boo
die and bribery are the weapons
used by it to fleece the people.
"Smash it," should be the cry of
every man who has a child to send
to our common schools. The En-
quirer truthfully says of this cor
rupt and thieving ring: "The de-
bauchery of the Common School
system of Ohio within the past
few years must be patent to the
most unobserving. But a few years
ago the School Boards of this State
were respectable, capable bodies.
Membership on a School Board
was looked upon as a peculiarly
honorable position. The degener-
acy of politics had not reached the
Boards of Education. The place
then sought the man rather than
the man the place. The members
chosen were men of character,
standing and education. There
was no unseemly scramble to get
on the School Boards of the differ
ent cities. The Boards of Educa-
ton, above and beyond all other
municipal bodies, were surrounded
by a sense of sanctity of non-par-
tisan responsibility, uprightness,
honesty and purity and patriotism
of purpose. This was as it should
be. But mark the change. The
Boards of Education of the leading
cities of Ohio to-day are reeking
in the filth of boodleism and mire
of politics. They have been de-
bauched. They have been corrupt
ed. They ceased to be Boards of
Education, conducted in the inter
ests of the people and the PEOPLES
and the Common School
system of Ohio. They are now
boards of barter, bribery and boo
die, run in the interests of a school
book publishing house"

One of President Cleveland's la
test vetoes is of a bill providing
for a bridge over an arm of Lake
Champlain, to connect two Yer
mont towns, on the ground that
two years ago a bill of the same I'll
tie and containing precisely the
same provisions had been approx
ed and became law. Our brilliant
law makers did not know that
such a law had been passed only
two years ago. 1t is such instan-
e of careless legislation as this
that lead the people to applaud and
uphold the Presidents numerous
vetoes. There is reason for them.
Another of his late vetoes is of a
bill for an $4,000 building in a
Southern town to accommodate
the post-office, which does a bust
ness requiring five clerks. The rent
now paid for ample facilities for
the office is 5000 a year.

Our Next Congressman.
cleveland Plain Dealer.

The Democracy of the Third
congressional district did Itself
proud in nominating Hon. R. M
Murray for Congress. Mr.. Murray
read law in this city with Judge
Ranney of this city, afterwards
moved to gainesville, engaged in
the banking business and was
twice elected mayor of that city.
Upon the completion of his term
as mayor, he moved to Dayton,
where he built up one of the larg-
est and most extensive manufac-
turing establishments in that region.
Six years ago he was elected to
Congress over a popular Republi-
can antagonist. Hon. R. NJ. Muir
ray, it is safe to say, will be the
next congressman from the Third
District.

Seems Strange.
Miami Leader.

The Democratic Judicial con-
vention for the first Subdivision
(Butler, Darke, Preble and Mont
gomery %counties) of this Judicial
District, was held at Dayton, on
Wednesday and nominated Gen.
Vanderveer, of Hamilton, in place
of Judge Hume, and re-nominated
Judge Elliott, of Dayton, by accla-
nation. The defeat of Judge Hume
for denomination is inexplicable
at this distance. He is a remark
ably able, sincere and experienced
lawyer, who, as a Judge of the Com
mon Pleas Court, had attained
a lofty place in the estimation
of the people. While Gen. Van
derveer may make an excellent ju-
dicial officer, it seems strange that
bitter fight against a man like
Hume should be waged in order to
make a place for one untried.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1886-09-23

"Men who will wait around for
a place month after month, doing
nothing, don't deserve a place" the
President is reported to have said
to a mild-mannered youth who was
an applicant for an Office, and who
had haunted the White House for
many weeks. The President never
spoke a truer word. The class of
men who hang about Washington
waiting to be showed or pulled into
an easy berth ire generally unfit
for public employment. A fraction
of the labor they exert in looking
for a government place, and two or
three times the self-respect they
seem to possess, would give them
a start in the more dignified SER
vice of a private employer. The
same language will apply equally
to the fellows who lay around in
the county towns, waiting for an
"office" of some kind to turn up
for them. Steer clear of the office
seeker.
