A CAMPAIGN OF PRINCIPLE.
Some Gossip from the Democratic
Headquarters at Washington.

Some Gossip from the Democratic
Headquarters at Washington.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Business is
brisk at the rooms of the Democratic
congressional campaign committee now.
The campaign book is already in de-
mand, as are speeches and pamphlets
on various subjects, and clerks find full
employment. The information receiv-
ed indicates a live campaign, and bright
Democratic prospects all over the coun-
try. Acting Secretary Thompson of
the committee said to the Star cores
pondent to-day that the prospects were
highly encouraging.
'"There is every reason to believe, in
deed, ,"said he, "that the Democratic
majority in the next House will be fully
as large as in the present one. And
that, of course, means Carlisle for
Speaker again without opposition" i.
1.-THE reports of divisions within the
Democratic ranks, then, have been ex-
aggeratedF'
"The supposed effect of them has
been most materially. There are divis-
ions, of course, here and there, princi-
pally in the South, and they have
grown out of the distribution of patron
age. Democratic Congressman who for
the first time found themselves charged
with that responsibility, were not to be
envied. Let them act as they might,
there were serious consequences to fol-
low. There were not places enough to
go around, and men who were disap-
pointed grew resentful toward their
members. But this feeling does not
extend or apply to the party. The
nominee will in nearly every instance
receive the full party vote"
"How about funds?"
"Our collections have been small
The same is true, too, I am told, of the
other side. It is not to be campaign
of Doodle, but of principle and printers
ink"

judicious regulation of the traffic, and
repress its abuses, without destroying
the principles Of personal liberty or the
right Of private judgment or lessening
the incentives to self control.
l6. We heartily endorse the course of
Hon. H. B. Payne as the representative
of the State in the Senate OF the United
States. The purity and integrity Of his
character are well known to the people
of Ohio, and we rejoice that the Repub-
lican Senate ofthe United States refused
to become the medium through which
the baffied and malicious Republican
politicians sought to injure the fair fame
of man whose life is honOrably inter-
woven with the history of the State for
more than half century.

Gentle reader, did you ever notice
the man who is waiting for the train?
He walks into the depot, and after
wandering around and gazing at all the
time tables, he sits down with sigh
and begins to read his paper; but before
he has had time to read an item about
a man being bitten to death by New
Jersey mosquitoes, he is on his feet
again. He hurries up to the window
of the ticket Office and inquiries: sis
there O train for New Haven at 10:30?''
"Yes, SIR"
Then he goes back to his seat again,
but suddenly he looks up at the clock,
and hurries again to the ticket office
with the inquiry, Ills that clock right?'
eyes, SIR"
"Thanks." Here he wanders out on
the platform and walks up and down a
few times, but the impulse is too strong
and he again approaches the pedler of
tickets.
81 suppose the train is on time to-
day."
"Yes, sir"
"All right; thank YOU"
This time he goes to where he left his

another seat, and having arranged them
to his satisfaction he again nears the
ticket window.
"Is that ice water in the cooler
there?"
eyes, SIR"
"Nluch obliged. You say the train is
on timer"
"Yes, SIR"
"And your sure about the clock be-
ing right?"
eyes, SIR"
THERE'S that my train coming
now?" ~
eyes, sir"
"All right; thanks"
And then the patient ticket agent
closes the window and sits down to
wait for the next fiend who wants to
take the train.-ALbdny argus.

Prof Horsford's Baking Powder.
DIR. w. ID. Hoyt, Rome, Ca, Says

III can conceive of no better prepara.
ton to use in making bread, biscuits
rolls, gems, etc. 1t is not only not un'
healthful, but positively beneficial. In
spite of all that has been said on the
subject, people will eat bread made Of
flour from which all the bran has
been removed. Nearly all the
phosphates, the most valuable ele.
ments for the nutrition of the nerves
and bones, are thus removed, and
it is also a recognized fact amongst
physicians that great injury results in
consequence. Any preparations which
will replace the valuable elements are
certain to be of great benefit to those
who use them, compensating as they
do, to a great extent, for the absence Of
the bran, etc. Ican therefore, cordially
recommend them" sept 2-1m

Soldiers Home.

The locating of the Soldiers Home
at Bennington is disappointment to
some friends of that institution who de-
sired to have it built nearer the central
part of the state. If by going farther
they can do better they will rejoice
still over the prospect of having SOL
dier's home in Vermont. Bennington
is historic name and gives a better
site for the Home than could probably
be obtained elsewhere for $4,000 or
$50, 900. 1t is accessible and healthful,
with winters not so extremely cold as
in Northern Vermont. 1t is not far
from the attractive places Saratoga and
Troy, n. Y. If the railroads in the
state will furnish transportation for the
soldiers in going to and from the home
free or at a reduced rate of fare it may
be one of the very best places in the
state for the comfort and happiness
of the needy veterans.

Charles II. Bailey's Case.

Charles H. Bailey of Wells River,
who has recently been granted pen
sion as dependent father, was many
years in satisfying the pension office
that he was entitled to pension. The
reply received from the affidavits he
filed so often was that the evidence
was not sufficient to change the former
action of that Office in rejecting his
claim. AT last his attorney, 7. j. Dea-
witt, Esq, of Montpelier, called up his
case, when at the pension office, and
found petition signed by about forty
of Mr.. Bailey's neighbors protesting
against pension being granted him, as
he was abundantly able to support him
self. The case was, on the application
of his attorney, ordered to be investi-
gated, and special examiner of the
pension Office was sent TO Wells River
to investigate the case. 1t turned out
that large majority of the signers to
the petition did not know that they had
signed such a paper. 1t was repre-
scented to them when they signed il
that it was petition for something
else, and they signed their names with
out reading the petition.

Questions Answered.

M. 7. G. W., EAST MoNTPELIER.-If
pensioner is confined in state prison
for crime he still continues to receive
his pension. 1t would be useless for
his children to attempt to draw the
pension while he is confined in prison
The town could not receive his pension,
even if it had to support his family.
Us, ST.. JoHNsBURY.-The trustees
of the Soldiers Home in Vermont say
that the property in Bennington which
has been donated to the Home, will
Immediately be put in shape to receive
the brave and unfortunate men who are
in the poor-houses of this state. If a
Grand Army Post or Woman's Relief
Corps desires to furnish room in the
Home they should apply to General
William Wells, Burlington.
G. H., PENACooK, n. H.-Vermont
paid no bounties to soldiers during the
War of the Rebellion. The $500 bounty
that you say was promised you was the
bounty the United States paid in 1864
in installments. Our legislature would
not pass a special act TO give you a
bounty when it paid no other soldier a
bounty. You were entitled to 81 a

S. II. L., NEW BEDFORD, MASS
This correspondent writes that her hus-
band served thirty-seven months in the
navy: contracted disease while in such
service, but never applied for a pen
sion. In 1872 he went to sea, has never
been heard from and it is supposed that
the vessel in which he sailed was lost,
with all on board. She desires TO know
if she or her children are entitled to a
pension. AnScer.-No; to entitle the
widow of soldier to a pension she
must be able to show that her husbands
death is due, in whole or in part, to a
disease or injury contracted in the SER
vice of the United States.

BentOn's Hair Grower.

All who are BALD, all who are becoming
BALD, all who do not want TO be BALD,
all who are troubled with DANDRUFF, or
ITCHING of the scalp, should use Benton's
Hair Grower. EIGHTY PER CENT of those
using it have grown hair. 1t never fails to
stop the hair from falling. Through sick
ness and fevers the hair sometimes falls off
in a short time, and although the person
may have remained bald for years, if you
use Benton's Hair Grower according to di-
rections you are sure of a growth of hair.
In hundreds of cases we have produced a
good growth of Hair on those who have
been bald and glazed for years. We have
fully substantiated the following facts:
We grow Hair in so cases out Of 100, no
matter how long bald.
Unlike other preparations, it contains no
sugar of lead, or vegetable or mineral
poisons.
1t is a specific for falling hair, dandruff,
and Itching of the scalp.
The hair grower is a hair food, and its
composition is almost exactly like the
oil which supplies the hair with its
vitality.
DOUBLE AND TRIPLE STRENGTH.
When the skin is very tough and hard
and the follicle is apparently eifectually
closed the Single strength will sometimes
fail to reach the papilla; in such cases the
Double or Triple strength should be used in
connection with the Single, using them al
ternately.
Price, Single strength, $1.00; Double
strength, $500 Triple strength, $500. /
your druggists have not got it we will SEND

A BadsGaug.

The neighborhood of Thirteenth
and Massachusetts, streets is annoyed
by gang of young hoodlums and
vandals who sorely need the attention
of the police if one fourth that is
char ged 10 them be true. Their coli
duct would disgrace Kickapoo vii
lage and put to shame the worst young
Commanchee that ever roamed the
wilderness. They are charged with
destroying gardens, breaking down
fences, stoning windws, using language
that would shock sailor, and even
worse charges than these are made.
Every evening they are said to con-
gregate at the railroad crossing and
raise perfect pandemonium. Some
of the citizens express wish that a
train would catch and kill them all
while the more conservative want the
police to give them a little attention.
Perhaps a few visits from Marshal
jackson would have a salutary effect.

He Killed the Skunk.

Sunday afternoon Mr.. and Mrs.
Mat Dunlap went to church, leaving
their II year old son, Frank, and a
number of other boys at their house,
some two miles west of town and be-
yond the university.
While they were gone Frank dis
covered a skunk in the yard, and
having a single-barrelled shot gun of
the cheap pot metal make, he proceed
ed to load it with a charge sufficient
for Joe Peltier's g. A r. cannon, and
going into the yard, let drive at his
skunkship. The effecl was instan:a-
neous and remarkable as well as dis
astrOus. The gun was shattered into
a thousand pieces,~ and worst
of all, Franks left hand
and wrist suffered like
disintegration, while his body, &C.
cOmpanied by portion of the breech
of the gun stock, was landed some
twenty feet to the rear of the explO-
sion.
His alarmed companions rshed
to the rescue and bore him to the
house bleeding and half conscious.
DR.. II. Evans was hastily summoned,
and when he arrived found Franks
hand and arm so badlymangled as to
require amputation midway between
the wrist and elbow The operation
was neauv and speedily Perf0rideedd,s
and yesterday the lad was resting as
well as could be expected under the

After the first shock of distress over
the accident, the locality of its occur

up the remains of the treacherous
fowling-piece the dead body of the
skunk was found fairly riddled with
shot.

cry, stating that having read an &C
count in the Sedalia papers of Corp:
arrest and of a watch, evidently
stolen property, being found in his
possession, he wrote, believing that
the stolen watch is one which was
stolen from him recently. Mr.. Hall
gives the number of the case of his
missing chronometer, also the number
of the watch itself, but unfortunately
for him, the description in no wise
corresponded with the ticker held by
the officers, and at the present writing
Mr.. Brazier seems to have the most
substantial claim to the contraband
property.
