A full House of Representatives
will be elected next fall, and if ev-
cry man does his duty as in the
past, there is no doubt of Demo-
cratic success. Ithas been recalled
by those who are more timid than
they ought to be, that a Republi-
can President was elected in 1872,
and a Democratic house in 1874 a
Republican President was inaugu-
rated in 1877, and a Democratic
House organized in 1879. In 1880
the Republicans carried the Presi-
dency, and in 1882 the Democrats
won the House. Therefore, it is
claimed, the election of a Republi-
can House in 1886 after the success
of a Democratic President in 1884
would only follow precedent. The
Democratic party has no use fol
easy logic. 1t proposes to elect il
1886 a Democratic House as it die
in 1884.

The"non-partisan" Investigation
into the methods of the Cincinnati
election has resultedin two partisan
reports, as every man with a grain
of common sense predicted. Each
report fatty contradicts the other.
The Democrats make out the best
case. Their report is fair, just and
reasonable, and shows that the four
Democratic Senators from Hamil-
ton county are entitled to the seats
they now hold. We believe with the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, that practi-
cally the situation sthis: The SEN
ate is Democratic andthe Democrats
want it to remain as it is, while the
Republicans for a variety of very
strong partisan reasons would like
to make it Republican. Hence the
Democrats resolve that the four sit
ting members from Hamilton coun-
ty shall stay, while the Republicans
declare they must go. That was the
situation at first and it is the situa-
ton now, and anybody who imag-
ined that any amount of "non-par-
tisan" investigation could change
it knows very little of practical pol
tiles.

While certain other states have.
been laughing at Missouri and her
efforts to place herself upon a reli-
able and improved basis, property
has been increasing in value there
at a very rapid rate. In 1S80the as
sessed valuation was only a little
over 100000 900, while this year
it is shown in a report just submit
ted to be over $75O,OOO,O0O. 1t must
be apparent even in Iowa and Kan
sas that as this increase in values
continues Missouri can stand the
taunts of herrivals. The silent man
often gets Weather than his tur-
bulent neighbor.

The following taken from the
Washington correspondence of the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette is a
deserved compliment, and coming
as it does from a bitter partisan pa
per, shows a just appreciation of
our representative in Congress:
"There are two good men among
the new democrats at least. They
are Campbell, of Hamilton, and
Cultivate, ofColumbus. Both are
making frst-rate working members,
and they do credit to the state.
They are clean, honest men, hold
ing high social position and stand
ing well in the esteem of the citi-
zens of their homes. Each has a
handsome family living here in
good style, and sought after social
ly. Such men are worth hundred
Warmers and Morrison and Spring
ers, though you may not see their
name in the record every morning
or hear their bowls re-echo in the
house every day."

The taxation message of Cover
nor Foraker and the bills intro
duced by Brown, of Warren, in-pur-
suance of the recommendations of
said message, are stirring up the
farmers all over the state. 1t is the
attempt to make the toiling agri-
cultural masses, already overbur-
dened with taxation, pay still high
err tribute to the privileged classes.
w. A. T., the very able state CORES
pondent of the Enquirer, who gets
at the sentiment of all classes of
people throughout the state, by
close inquiry and contact, in his
letter of the 25th ult., says:
"Hon. Seth Browns tax bills are
giving the people a hundredfold
more concern than the question of
changing the political complexion
of the senate, to the end that a few
democrats may be legislated out of
congress and a few republicans leg
islated in for against this the vot-
ers have the remedy of the ballot,
but against death and the tax col
lectors there is no impenetrable ar
mor-they carry the original sword,
Balmung, of the Morse legends, and
its edge goes home wherever it
strikes.
"Since the introduction of these
bills | have come in contact with a
great many people from all parts
of the state, and they seem intui-
lively to have come to one unani-
nous conclusion that the bill to lay
hands upon the personally of the
corporations and the privileged
classes of tax dodgers is only a
dodge behind which the reality of
the farmers is to be put into the
squeezer and made to yield rich
returns for the hungry and insatia-
bic tax eaters.
"In the end the issue in the leg
islature will be drawn very closely
on the party lines upon these tax
bills. They were introduced as mea-
sures of republican policy, in ac-
cordance with the traditions of that
party that the multitude must pay
well for the services of the office
holding class, and that while the
laborer is worthy his hire, the pub
lie official is entitled to special con-
sidcration and double pay"

Newport, R. l., will gain nearly $1,000 in
taxes alone from the estate of Alfred Smith,
who has for a long time had his property re-
turned to the assessors as $400, O00, when, af-
ter he recently became insane, it was found
to amount to at least Sc, 000, 000.-Ec.
The "Smith" family exists in
many other places besides Newport,
R. l., who are avoiding their just
share of taxation and compelling
honest people to pay more than
their proportion. 1t seems true,
however, that when an individual
gets to be worth 100000 or more,
he is licensed to commit frauds,
perjury, or any other crime against
his neighbors or community. The
insanity is rough on "Smith," but
good for Newport, R. I. 1t has
proved Smith to be a scoundrel
and given Newport, R. l., $4,000
moretaNes. Aretherea ny"Smith's"

From a memorandum prepared
by one of the Civil Service Com
missioners it appears that exclusive
of army and navy appointments,
4,043 appointments are subject to
confirmation by the Senate. OF
these there are under the Depart
ment ofStatc SOB, the Treasury 1853,
the Interior 3G4, the Postoffice De-
partment 2,253, and Department of
Justice PSI. The whole number of
civil employees under the govern
ment is about 10000, ofwhom 81
632 are postmasters. The total
number of places subject to civil
service examination is about 15,-
900, of which 5000 arc under the
departments of Washington, 5000
in the postal service and 5000 in
the customs service. 1t will be seen
that the civil service law does not
cover one-seyenth Of the govern
ment employees,

Owing to Republican extrava-
gance the State of Ohio will be
obliged to borrow nearly 81 ,OOO,O 900
to meet the expenses of the year.

of the regular revenues of the State
and at the same time reduced the
tax rate. The people always have

A good many people will besur-

building in the United States will
be the City Hall of Philadelphia,
now in process Of construction. Be-
tween eleven and twelve millions
of dollars have been expended up
on it since it 1872. 1t is estimated
to cover 900 more square feet than
the Capitol of Washington. The
tower on the north side will be sur
mounted by a statue of Penn, and
its extreme height when completed
will be 535 feet. Ithas now reach

rottenness has been unearthed in
the City Council of Gallipolis. 1t
is impossibls, as yet, to give the OK
act amont of the s~tealings, but it
will not fall short of 100000 and
may exceed $15O,O00. The steal
ings, under the guise of improve
ments, etc, has been going on for
several years. The Councilmen
paid themselves salaries under var
ious disguises, as confessed by the
former Chairman of the Finance
Committee and President of Coun-
ell. For instance an order was
drawn for $1.75, afterwards raised
to $175 and the money divided
among the Councilmen; another
bill of SO was ordered paid; the
order was drawn for 800 and the
500 divided. And so it went, the
taxpayers being plundered all the
time.

Few people outside of the postal
service have an idea of the govern
ment stamped envelope business.
The truth is since the government
began in 1851 to sell stamped en-
velopes there has been a steady in
crease in the amount required each
year, until the government has for
several years been selling more en-
velopcs, than all other producers
combined. Last year 279,000,0oC
stamped envelopes, worth $5,773,-
900, were sold. With every letting
the size of the contract increases
and the price of envelopes is reduc-
ed. Envelopes which in 1869 cost
$3.50 per thousand can now be solo
for $3.50 per thousand, and the ex.
ira letter size that then cost $6 arc
now sold for $40.

A Wise Reform.

The habit of administering quinine in powderful doses, as an antidote to malaral maladies, was once danger ously common. Happily this prac- tice has undergone a w,de reform. Not only the public, but professional men have adopted, not wholly, of course, but largely, Hostetter's Stom- ach Bitters as a safe botanic substi- ute for the pernicious alkalold. The consequences of this change are most important. Now fever and ague suf- ferers are cured-formerly their com- plaints were only for the time relieved or half cured-the remedy eventually failing to produce any appreciable ef' feet except the doses were increased. A course of the Bitters, persistently fol- lowed, breaks up the worse attacks and prevents their return. The evi- dence in favor of this sterling specific and household medicine Is ot ho am. biguous character, but positive and satisfactory, and the sources whence it proceeds are very numerous.

The Old Reliable Peter
 SChuttIer Wagon.

TN calling attention to the merits of
 this superb wagon we do not propose to echo the commonplace claims so characteristic of "cheap" work. A few facts peculiar to the Schuttler wagon alone, will sufficient ly speak for themselves.
 The manufacturers make their own hubs, spokes, felloes, nuts. bolts, riv- cts, and all other parts from the raw materials, and hence are enabled to begin their unparalleled system of selection from the very start, the work lhereupon being followed through its successive stages by the most rigid series of inspections known in the business.
 The wood material is always kept four to five years ahead of all require ments.
 The hubs are made from the butt cuts of the finest white oak in the country, the butts being quartered and each quarter making hub, the "heart" of the tree being rejected in all cases. They are then roughly turned, and after tour years of natural seasoning under cover, they are ready for the final turning and mortising which prepares them for the wheel, Ill the minor processes, on which nary makers often place a rather re- diculous emphasis-such as sdriving the spokes in hot glue, the. boiling oil oath, etc., etc.--have been employed for many years, and are simply ordin- dry necessities. .,a; ..,
 The Schuttler Wagon has been built expressly for the trying climate Of the West. and the'rough usage oi the mountains, for over forty years, md in consequecce of the special ex- perience thus achieved, as we'll as the lnrivaled care best owed upon its work. nanshi D and finish it stands supreme and without rival among wagons. Il ! gives better value in return for the money paid out than any other known The user gets his moneys worth, be sides the saving in time, temper, trou ble, and repalr bills, and the dealer mas equal reason to be pleased with ; wagon that gives him no annoyance alter it leaves his store.

Indian Killed at Gallup,

On Wednesday, at Gallup, N. M., a cowboy named William Davis, and a Navajo Indian, called Lippy, had a dispute about the ownership of horse in which both men shot at each other and the Indian was instantly killed. Lippy Is known to be a bad Indian, and has great influence with his tribe. That night camp fires were seen in the hills calling the Navajos together, and serious trouble is anticipated. Troops, who had been telegraphed for from Fort Wlngate were hourly expected and the citizens were patrolling the streets.
