wv, thefe ii nothing Ieit lor III b d
but 81 p preparing smother dose q
the same sort. Thc fHct must be
recognized that question of this
sort y peculiarly the property Of the
whole people Of The whole county,
and that they Gre thoroughly COM
petent to pronounce their win and
pleasure upon II whenever 1t comes
before them according to law. Ef-
forts to mistify and mislead and 10
stir animosity and bitterness and all
misrepresentation and deception By
whomsoever praciiced or advocated,
should be as promptly set down upon
in this as in any other contest. What
the people want 10 the question III
it's plain untarnished merits, and
then pass upon It in the light Of cool
reason and candid judgment, and not
from prejudice or heated passion.
Prejudice and passion, misrepresen.
talon and deception are the last
things 10 bring satisfactory results.
By them success In certsin cases
may be obtained, but what comes III
their wake always operates to Offset
all the pleasures Of victory. We are
writing not in the line OF anticipa-
ton so much az OF caution. 1t is
not expected that this question will
come to decision without warmth
OF feeling or earnest work, but what
the duty of the hour is, is to let 1t
stand before the public mind in it,
naked merits and be passed upon in
the light Of truth. We think the
merit Of the question will be covered
exactly BY the proposition whether
the people Of the county want =
change and whether it 10 to their in
terests TO have . change of their
county seat, provided said change in
wolves no cost to them in court house
or jail. We do not suppose that any
town or place would have the effront-
cry to come before the people Of this
county for the county seat on any
other proposition. So that as there is
no possible danger Of additional tax
alton, it would seem that there ought
to be no question freer from heat or
prejudice.

WITH his record in the congress
just closed, it would be astonishing
to hear even a note Of opposition
from any quarter to the return of
Hon. c. R. Breckenridge to his seat
in congress. Being man of the
broadcast sympathy, soundest judg-
ment, and keenest insight; and TO
these qualities having added large
experience in congressional matters,
and having demonstrated his faith
fulness to the interests OF the people,
he shows himself to be the very man
needed by our people TO stand for
all that is near and dear to them !;
and to withstand and oppose all cor
rupt legislation. He was found on
the right side OF every important
question coming before that body,
and working like a turk for the Nor
rison resolution setting apart the
surplus in the treasury towards the
payment of the bonded Indebtedness
Of the government, and for the Nor
rison tariff reform bill, and for the
bill to prevent the acquisition OF real
property by aliens, all of which are
of great Importance to the people
and will doubtless yet be enacted
into Law, If the democratic party is
allowed to remain in control. There
is not more industrious or better
informed member In congress than
our own c. R. Breckenridge, and Of
course he will be re endorsed by a
grateful people.

SAMUEL j. Tilden, the immortal
democratic statesman is dead. He
died at his residence in New York,
on Thursday the 4th inst. His death
was unexpected and caused from the
hearts failure following an acute at
tack of diarrhea and nausea. When
he fell, the noted statesman in Amer
ica fell, and the grief shown at his
burial, showed him to have strong
hold upon the affections snd conf
dence of the country regardless of
party lines. Few men ever served
their day and generation as well as

Poison Oak.

Last Sunday, while at Mr.. T. F.

man, who is perhaps better known
than any farmer in the State, we no.
ticcd that his son, DeWltt, seemed
to be skinning of at the hands. Mr..
H. called the little fellow to him and
showed us how the skin, even on the
palms of his hands, was coming of
in fakes and new skin appearing
underneath. He explained that
several years ago the child was bad
" poisoned with poison oak and
every spring he broke out and sui
fered greatly. He had applied every
known remedy to relieve she sufferer,
and employed physicians TO attend
him, but to no avail. "In fact" Mr..
Hudson continued, lit seemed like
to go in sight Of poison oak vino

out afresh. After trying everything
else, ! read in the Banner-Watch-
man so much about the S. s. s. blood
medicine that determined to try
that also, but must confess that l
had but little hope in IT. But, as
YOU see, its success has been wonder
full. It has driven every particle Of

AMONG the exciting things we read
of in the newspapers is the splendid
prospect of war with Mexico. The
difficulty arose out of Mexico's
unique idea that her jurisdiction ex.
tended over this side of the line and
accordingly, she arrested one Editor
Cutting for publishing libel ON a
Mexican court in Texas paper.
After it's publication in this Texas
paper, Cutting went back to Mexico
and this Judge had him arrested at
Paso del..Norte, tried, convicted, and
it is supposed will pronounce sen
tence on him, which as is stated will
be two years in the penitentiary,
that is, so far as heard from he saws
he will. Secretary Bayard has de-
manded Cuttings unconditional re-
lease, on the ground that it was none
of Mexico's business whether Cut
ting was an angel of light or Of dark
ness, the offence with which he was
charged was committed in the United
States by an American citizen, and
that Uncle Sam was able yet awhile
to attend to such cases as needed
attention in his own dominions with
out Mexico's proffered assistance.
Texas is up on her ear at high
rate, and all the border boys want is
just half chance and they'll
bounce the aztec subjects too quick
to talk about. 1t looks now like
trouble was almost inevitable unless
the Mexican authorities back down.
Which OF course they will eventually
have to do, il not now, later on liz
any sort Of contest they may pro-
woke with this great government.
