SOCIAL SCIENCE.

The growth of social science, as indica- ted in the attention it is now receiving in our institutions of learning and education al associations, is one of the most promis- ing phases of our national development. At our great universities and colleges, in our theological institutions and women's schools the science is receiving a promi hence that is indicative of the best results. When the truths and principles that be- long to social science are made part of every educated mans and woman's equip ment, we may hope to see these results show themselves in all the different strata of society-in our methods of dealing with criminals and paupers, in the sanitation of our cities, and all the complex social problems that engage the attention of thoughtful minds. The prevention of vice, the diminution of dependence, the avoidance of pestilence, the eradication of festensnQts on the body polite are some of the results at which social science will shoot its early endeavors.
 The diffusion of such science is of the greatest moment in our national develop ment The farther it reaches into the notifications of society the more readily will society as a whole concern itself with the problems that are essential to it's own ameioration. There are questions arising now and engaging the attention of men who have heretofore grappled only with manual details, and on the solution of these questions must rest the peace and good order of our social fabric New theories concerning the relations of capita and labor, of the duties of municipalities to their members and of the obligations that bind men to each other confront us daily, and press eagerly for settlement, IT the perfection and comprehension of socia science is the highest promise of their sat isfactory solution ond of the physical and moral welfare of the nation.
 It's adoption as a part of the curricu lum of our educational institutions and it. prominence in the Chautauquan system are hopeful indications for progressive civilization.

POLITICIANS have been making some in teresting comparisons of the vote cast at the election three weeks ago. In South Carolina about one-third of the vot,ls went to the polls this year, and the total vote of the state, as officially reported, was only 79, ,565. This is fully 12,0OO less than the vote there four years ago at the presi- dential election, and less than one-half of the vote boiled in 1880. The population of the state is two-thirds as large as that of the city of New York, and yet New York city boiled 274, 747 ballots, or three and a half times more than South Carolina. Other states show similar results.

THE charge that Mary Anderson comes back from England confirmed Anglo maniac is thus accounted for by friend of hers "It is no wonder. Miss Anderson has been steadily and consistently sighted by society people here, while the most ex- elusive entertainers iu London have shown her the utmost cordiality and hospitality. Langtry and Mrs Potter may be more or less of a credit to it, but it is difficult to see where it deserves any praise for the manner in which it has steadily ignored Mary Anderson"

THE RED BANDANA


 We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar But the demand that every husband buy a Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land? No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin, Boardman x Gray, Baus, and Wilcox & White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of 6 manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and a few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago.

HORRIRI END In 4 WELL

VAN VERT, Ohio, Aug. On the 18th
Of June a Russian named Carl Novacass-
kia, an inmate of the Van Vert County
tnfirmary, was missing. His whereabouts
we're not known until yesterday, when his
body was found floating in well at that
Institution. This well is used by
paupers for all purposes. a fence
separating the males and females
passes over the center OF it, and there are
two pumps, one ON each side of the fence.
From these pumps the water supply is OBJ
tanned. 1t is claimed. however. that the
superintendent draws water from another
well. The water used by the paupers was
discolored, and gave an offensive smell
This led yesterday morning TO an investi-
CATION.
Two loose planks were removed, and g.
sight was revealed Floating on the TOP
Of the water was the bloated, decaying
form of the missing man. Coroner Kirk
patrick was notified, and proceeded imme-
diately 10 hold and inquest. When this
officer arrived at the well, a half-witted
female pauper was pumping for her de-
partment pail of water. This
was allowed to be done when it was known
that the body was in the well, and the
water was not fit for hog wash. The coro-
ner was indignant and read the riot act.
a long ladder was placed in the well en-
which a number of men stood, and. with
the assistance Of those above, who pulled
at rope tied about the body, they
brought TO the platform the corpse More
than six weeks in the water had caused all
the hair TO fail from the head. and the
whiskers in many spots had come out.
Maggots We're crawling in every direction
They were on the body, on the pump stock
and on the curbing.

PlEURO-PNEuMONIA.

New YORK, Aug. THE recent sudden
changes in the weather have had the effect
of suddenly developing pleuro-pneumonia
in and about this city. In Westchester
county this dangerous disease has broken
out to an alarming extent and the bureau
of animal industry established for the ex-
press purpose of stamping out this epiden-
ic has ordered the destruction of over POO
head of cattle belonging to Embre Hill.
Charles Hit and James Swab The value
of infected animals is estimated at over
81 900
Prof. Law, the chief inspector in the
bureau. remarked yesterday that consider
able opposition was encountered from the
owners whose cattle will be slaughtered
today. Opposition was due TO HiSuuder-
standing regarding the purpose and aim
OF the bureau. They have now discovered
at considerable cost TO themselves that the
disease can only be eradicated by constant
surveillance Of all cattle exposed TO its
rAvAgeS.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Major General
Crook, who reached here yesterday, left
last evening for Oakland, Md, where his
family has been located for some weeks,
and where he viii rest for some little time.
Regarding the increase and decrease of the
posts of the division of the Missouri, which
has been discussed, General Crook said:
4 hardly think we can dispense with
the smaller posts as yet. We have, by no
means, yet guarantee of safety from In
dian outbreaks, though doubt if we ever
have another serious one. You must bear
in mind that the possibilities of such out
breaks are far greater to-day than they
have been by reason Of the increased pop
ulation. These reservations are surround
ed on all sides with towns and settlers and
they are comparatively helpless against
such an enemy The Indians can
divide up into small parties and slaugh-
ter thousands of people before word
could be gotten to the troops and even
then soldiers could be of very little ser
vice. The moral influence of bodies of
troops in close vicinity to the Indians,
heartily in accord with our plans for the
increase OF larger posts and the concentra-
ton of troops With the railroad and tel
egraph the movement Of an army Is not
what 1t used to be, and this fact warrants
this concentration.
COR Instance our best policy is to in
crease posts like Highwood, Chicago.
Fort Smelling, Mimi, 10 large posts, and
this, think, will be done ii funds can be
secured. From these points troops can
be thrown in few hours into almost any
portion of the Missouri river valley. Such
policy is. think, considered the wisest
by all officials
General Crook, who refused 20 serve up
on the Sioux commission, says that the re-
suit of the mission is somewhat doubtful,
although he believes that the Indians will
yet give their consent. Like General
Sheridan, he believes the lands are worth
much more than 80 cents per acre allowed
by the act, and thinks a greater price
should be allowed them.
81 do not believe" he said, that the In
dian title to this land should have been al
lowed in the first place, for don't believe
that they had any more right to it than
the buffalo, but having once recognized
their alleged right, let us treat them fairly.
They know the value of this land SO we'll
as we do, and, in my opinion, this is
what is causing the delay in the
negotiations, is the feeling that the In
dams have, that they are not getting what
they ought to have Then they are natu-
rally suspicious and it is hard work to
gain their confidence. Very few people
ever do gain an Indians honest confidence
He will give an appearance of it, but it is
always more or less suspicious.

ARMY CHANGES,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1T is not expected
that any immediate changes in division
commands will be made, but it is very
probable that General Howard, at present
commanding the division of the Pacific,
will eventually succeed General Schoiield
III command of the division of the Atlantic.
For the present, however, General Scho-
field, while commanding the army, will in
all proDa bility continue to be in personal
command OF the division OF the Atlantic
through his staff. 1t is known that a
transfer to the east would be acceptable
to General Howard, but it is hardly proba-
ble such a move would De desired by him
or approved by the war department
authorities, as long as Indian troubles
continue in the southwest. When every
thing is again quiet, General Howard will
probably be ordered east and Brigadier
General Miles will doubtlessly succeed him
in command of the division OF the Pacific.
