We think the G. A. R. boys had

authority.

of the order, as unalterably fixed
there as any Mcdian or Persian law
ever was fixed in bible times. No
man can stand ,Ceu in our order IN
less he Is a Republican,. It never
honored any man yet who was not
a Republican. By its nnwritten
law it never can. Our officers are
almost invariably Democrats No,
not much. They are nearly all and
nearly always Republicans, from
:commander-in-ch chief down. How
many votes would Sigel or Fitz
John Porter get in eur order for
any Office? When dare Democrat

only Republicans, but of the cx-

1t was only in localities where
UOgg and Gibson had following
that Judge Jackson ran behind his
tirket. In all other localities he ran
ahead.-Parkersburg Sentinel.
We are sorry to see the Sentinel
making this charge against Hon. C.
Z. Hogg. No man in our county
strove harder to turn the current
that was setting in against Judge
Jackson than did Mr.. Hogg. All
the power of his eloquence and logic
was used to turn Democrats back
to jackson, and in a great manner
he succeeded. AS to Mr.. Gibson,
we cannot say; but we do not be-
lirve that he fought Mr.. Jackson.
lie is too good a Democrat for that,
and we will not, for one moment,
believe that he "knifed'' Mr.. jackson.
We hope the Sentinel will do Mr..
Iogg the justice to withdraw its
charge of dislOyalty against him,
tor he is unjustly accused of wrong
doing.
Had Mr.. Hogg been the nominee
for Congress for second term, as he
should have been, he would have
been elected by handsome major
ity, and what is more, he would
have carried this county, and Judge
jackson would not now be smarting
under the modification of defeat.
Dir. Hogg was entitled to a second
term. Mr.. jackson knew this, but
the district was sacrificed to crafty
his personal ambition to go to Con
gress. Had Mr.. Jackson waited
for two years more, as his friends
advised and plead with him to do
Mr.. Hogg would have been re-nom.
mated and elected by an increased
majority; and two years hence
Judge jackson would have received
the nomination without much oppo
sition and been elected by a hand
some majority.

1t seems now to be very doubtful
whether the Democrats or Republi-

next House of Representatives. 1t
is probably that neither party will
have what may be called working

ed If the Republicans shall have the
majority. Indeed, as we have al
ready said, we think this rather to
be desired.

that under the next administration

that compels the negro to vote the

the matters charged therein against
our Republican brethren are true, it
shows a bad state of affairs, indeed, in
our State. Something must be done to
bring about honest elections here
after. Any man who perpetrated
frauds upon the ballot box, be he
Democrat or Republican, should be
bounded down, and when caught,
indicted and prosecuted until he
reaches the inside gratings OF the
penitentiary. We uphold no man
in wrong, whether he is of our

1t is not worth while to speculate
on the ways and wherefores of the
Democratic defeat. The party was
defeated as fair as anything is fair
in politics, and now the question
is not who did it nor how it was
done, but resolve that it shall not be
SO again. A united Democracy is
bound to be successful in this coun-
try. A divided Democracy is sure
to be defeated. That is all that is
needed to be known to predict sue
cess or defeat. Honest differences
are bound to exist, but when they
are honest no bad results follow. 1t
is when they are dishonest that evil
consequences follow. From this
time on every Democrat should re-
solve that he will be q true party
man and in the end there will be
substantial and deserved victory.

The Supreme Court of the United
States on the 14th inst. rendered an
important decision affecting the
right of a wife of a deceased hus-
band. Thomas L. Hume, of the
District of Columbia, died in 1881
totally insolvent, but leaving s35, 900
life insurance policies. The policies
were by their terms payable either
to the widow or the children of
the deceased. The administrators
and creditors of Hune's estate sought
to force application of the proceeds
of the policies to the payment of the
debts due the creditors. The Uni
ted States Supreme Court held that
the benefciaries are entitled to the
proceeds of all the policies without
any deduction, holding that hus-
band and father has a full right to
insure his life in the interest of his
children, and where such policies
are effected in the name of the ben
efciaries they are no part of the
estate of the deceased insolvent.

Help for ConsumptiVes.

How many persons know or can de-
tect the approach of this dreadful dis
ease? Few, indeed; and they are only
among the most Skillful physicians or
specialists, who have patiently studied
the disease from its incipiency, giving
it the profoundest thought, and using
all the instruments and appliances that
this wonderful age has produced in the
shape of medical discoveries, one OF the
most important of which has been the
most powerful microscope, to lind out
the destructive bacilli peculiar to the
peStilential ScOurge. Can consumption
be cured? Post norton examinations
have proved that nature alone has per-
fected cure unaided;, how much more
can we expect from scientific and skill
full treatment? A careful and positive
diagnosis i'll the incipient stages, or
even after tubercles have formed, with
careful, experienced and scientific
treatment from physician who under
stands such cases, will undoubtedly give
speedy and lasting cure. When a per-
son has tendency to Catarrh or Con-
sumption-whether this tendency is
inherited or results from cold
you will find that that per-
son invariably loses flesh and
loses strength. showing that the nutri-
tlOIl Is duGcl6u. III dlt ouCll CdoCo JllC
sufferers should at once be placed under
tine care and influence of Skillful ply
stefan, who will restore the defective
nutrition, and attend to invigorating
the constitution. 1t is to be remem-
bered that in every case the presence of
Catarrh is an evidence of predispositiOn
to Consumption, and no matter how
slight the attack may be, 1t should be
treated with the greatest care, and the
treatment should be continued until all
traces of the Catarrh have disappeared.
If Catarrh is allowed to reach the small
est of the bronchial tubes, which cOndi-
ton is indicated by the raising of a yell
low mucus, then immediate attention to
the malady is demanded, or serious
lung trouble will undoubtedly result.
Many patients fall victim to the
deeply rooted idea that neglected Ca
tarrh never leads to Consumption.
After many years of research and
practical experience, DR.. NELSON has
discovered remedy that will at once
relieve consumptive symptoms in most
wonderful manner, and where the dis
ease is not too far advanced, effectually
remove it. The remedy is so sure and
simple that patients are invited to come
to the Doctors Office and give it a trial.
The Doctor feels assured that the inn
mediate relief they will certainly re-
ceive will convince the most Skeptical.
