Tunnellng Machine.

a new invention for boring out sewers is
worthy of notice There will be no difficulty
in under landing the general working of the
machine. Hollow cylinders with sharp ends
gouge into the mud and earth as the machine
progresses.
Inside the cylinders is spiral that acts
on the principle of the Archimedcan screw.
The machine is worked by water power, in
which it is different from most eNca-
waiting inventions. As tn, metal cylinders
gouge into the earth the screw inside turns
and draws the mud along to the back end,
where it is dumped into the receivers as
shown.

worse and not better as the years go by, and yet there is enough caught from the general expression among the people making due allowances for exageration, ,buncomb and chronic grumblIng, to give us to understand that the situation is filled with knots and the row pretty full of stumps. We know there never was a time and never will be, we recon, when people won't talk of hard times and scarcely of money, but there is a vein of seriousness and ready men ton of facts by them, which go to ward the establishment of the fact that all the complaint and dissatis faction is not without foundation. This state of things we do not think can be laid to any one cause. The people generally work hard and have little. The returns do not seem to them commensurate with their la. DOTS. The fault, if fault there be, lies somewhere, and there must be a remedy for it, but the question IS, where. A great many lay it to the mortgage, but what makes it neces sary to mortgage, people wouldn't do it,ifit wasn't necessary. Repeal ing the mortgage law won't put money in anybody's pocket; and the want of money there, is the cause of hard times. What can he done? We don't think of anything better than for every man to resolve, let come what may, he will quit the luxury of debt this year. It will cost . sacrifice, but it will pay in the end.

LAST issue closed up another vol ume of the DEMOCRAT. It was brought past it's eleventh stile block. If it had timo it would stop and take Q breath, and look back at what had been done. But it has too much to do with the present for that. It can only pass it's gratitude for the favors of the people which has sustained 1t in the past, and then set itself about plans for the year of grace '86. It's brain is kept busy with the question of it's own sustenance, and how to meet it's obligations. To make mon ey and store something for rainy day, has long since passed out of it's calculations, and it has come now to figure on the basis of bare living The DEMOCRAT is doing it's best for Pope county and her citizens. It has not known for the last eleven years what iJ was to fail of regular issue. It does it's duties to the pub lie, it's country, and It's party as best it can. It therefore comes to them in confidence, and asks them for just such a helping hand as it deserves It is proud of it's subscription list, but it ought to have 500 more than it has, and it intends to have them if they can be got. Starting out on 8 new volume, it would be de- lightful, if we could start with a grand rally among our patrons and friends. It only costs a pittance. Who can't raise dollar in advance? At $1 it IS only 2 cents week, not as much as most men take at two or three quids of tobacco. The price is so small that it easily dodges the plea of hard times, and what we want you to do is help us out just now, in the way indicated and we'll help you later on.

To convict criminals according to law and then release them according to sentiment is one of the very ex pensive pieces of fooliseness indulg ed in to considerable extent in these latter days. After awhile it may become q question as to what use criminal courts are anyway. Whats the use to waste time and money in convicting man who can be so easily pardoned out by little petition? Sentiments of mercy are very fine, but they ought to stand very seldom with governor against the verdict of judge and jury.

TIE relations of the white man and Indian are pretty we'll illustrated by Esau and Jacob. There was but one argument in Esau's favor, and that was, he saw the light just Q moment before Jacob did. Tie only argument in favor of the Indian, is that he got here first. But as has been abundantly seen, neither was fit to become the representative of what was designed for the human race. Progress and development did not lie in the line with Esau or the Indian, the Indian especially with him as representative the : world never would have seen the blaze of the grand civilization of the nineteenth century. Hence it comes to be right as matter of the worlds welfare and the betterment of the condition of mankind for these to be supplanted Tn their rights, and the fields which they would not cultivate turned over to another able and wll. ling to tll them, and to till them well. For this reason the demand Is made by the intelligent white men of this country for tue public lands now held as reserves etc, for the Indian who wants it only as hunting ground, to be thrown open for settle
 ment by any and all who may desire. Certainly, if the right of eminent do maln is claimed by the government to such degree as that it can con demn tue private property of it's white citizens to the general use, it certainly need not stagger at the idea Of the reasonable demand to remove these Indian Territories out Of the way Of the progress and development of thls day and time. The Indian ought to be treated kind
 ly and with consideration, but this caa be done while we shove him out ot our way at tue same time.

JOHN Sherman was re elected Sc

JOHN Sherman was re elected Sen ator from Ohio, by very good ma jority. Before entering into the election, the Ohio legislature not willing to take any chances, took the timely precautlon to unseat the democratic members from Hamilton county and seat the republicans, Without this action they only had three majority, and this was to close margin for John Sherman to fig ure on comfortably. The democracy of Ohio, however, never can expect to do much good or have any sort of success as long as it ignores it's able, clean men, and carries on it's business with smut and dirt. Any set of fools who would set Allen G. Thurman aside, and elect old man Payne to the U. S. Senate, it looks like, ought not to succeed.

WE are with the editor of the Washington Press when he delivers himself of this opinion:
 The best thing the democratic party can do is to stand by the right. The president has gone wrong upon the silver question. At least his views are not the views of three fourths of the party; and it occurs to us that it is al least az much the duty of the president to stand by the party as it is the duty Of the party to stand by the president.

JANUARY 2s. 1886.

IN all governments there are three forces to be found under one name or another, which are always strug- gling fo- popular expression and pubic control. The first of these Is the power which seeks to establish Q strong government and to lodge it's power in the hands of the few The legitimate tendency of this power is towards monarchy in government, where the will and wishes of the many, the common people, are des- pissed and their voice ignored. The second is just the opposite of this, and would destroy all forms of law and disregard all rights of property, and would tear down social and civil institutions and inaugurate anarchy, and rule by the mob. The third lies between these two dangerous extremes. With one hand it lays a check upon the ambitions of men and the aggressions Of power, while with the other 1t lifts the commonal
 ity of mankind into the highest planes of human rights. It breaks down distinctions between citizens of common country before the law. With one hand, it squelches the on
 slaughts of men who would march to power over the fragments of broken constitutions who would chrystalize law and power h the hands of pow erful ruler; while, with the other, 1t strangles the dangers which comes through the channels of disorganiza
 tion, confusion and chaos. In this country these forces have not been dormant. The encroachments of the republican party and it's methods to retain power, it's strong tendencies towards a centralized, strong govern. ment, the very conditions to form the easy step to monarchy,in efect,if not in form, shows beyond doubt where the first of these influences has been expending itself in vain efforts to fasten it's power upon the American people. The second has also been active in trying to build up com munistic tendency in the country that would set on fire the worst ele
 ments in man and politics, in order to introduce anarchy and confusion, wherein it's own unbridled lust might run riot without the fear of legal punishment. But the threatening dangers from either or both of these sources, have been averted by the ex
 cellent wisdom and deep patriotism which dictated a democracy so mod died in thought, and framed in law, and so imbedded in public love and affection, that the people of this great country can look into 1t, anc see the reflection of their own jndg
 ment and the edicts of thelr own sovereign will. It is the glory of the democracy of this country that it has always stood in this relation to the people in both name and na- ture. It is the party of law, but not power. It is the party of liberty, but not license. It always has and always will stand in the breach ready to protect and defend.
