Shotted Tail is now, for the first
time, a good Indian. That is to say,
he is a dead Indian.
The trotting record is now 2:10J,
Maud S. haying knocked another quar
ter of a second off it at Rochester, N.
Y., August 11th.
The amount of beer sold in the city
of Boston last year reached the dizzy
figure of 64T,G03 barrels over the pre
ceding year nearly as much as was
sold in St. Louis or Milwaukee, and
more than was sold in Cincinnati or
Chicago. Is out civilization a failure,
and is Wendell Phillips played out?
m
One of the most remarkable political
paradoxes the country has ever fur
nished was the case of North Carolina,
where previous to the recent election
the Democrats enlisted on the side of
prohibition, while tin1 "Rpnu;lieiio fa
vored license. Tho prohibitionists
were defeated by an immense majority,
nnd now the Democrats say 50,000
white voters did not go near tho polls,
because they were intimidated by the
blacks, who swarmed in the good cause
of free rum.
Let it be recorded for the use of fu
ture generations, that seventy-five of
the employes in the "New York Cus
tom House were anpointed upon the
solicitation of the high priest of civil
service reform, George William Curtis,
while barely three were appointed at
the instance of Mr. Conklincr. And in
the connection, let the fact be chronicled
that, under the inefficient and corrup
ting "spoils system" which Curtis is so
fond of denouncing, SGOO,000,000 of
internal revenue hare been collected
in the last five years without the Joss
of a cent Items like these speak a
good deal louder than words.

Garfield to his class-mates, at their
Washington dinner the night before
his inauguration, said: "To me there
is something exceedingly pathetic in
this reunion. In every eye before me
I see the light of friendship and love1,
and I am sure it is reflected back to
each one of you from my inmost heart.
' For twenty-two years, with tho excep
tion of the last few days, I have been
hi the public service. To-night I am
a private citizen. To-morrow I shall
be called to assume new responsibil
ities, and on the day after the broad
Ride of the world's wrath will strike.
' will strike hard. T kaor it, and
you will know it," Prophetio words,
these.
Mr. Crowe, who has been engaged
at Peoria, 111., manufacturing infernal
machines, with the view of destroying
English ships and public buildings,
with the view of "bringing England to
terms," has been arrested. The object
of the criminals engaged in this busi
ness is to make English ships unsafe.
They will make their own necks unsafe
first It is just as well that the scoun
drel has been caught, and that he pro
poses to bo boastful of his guilt He
is one man in the world as despicable
as the assassin Guiteau. We must
draw tho line on this case. All who
are in favor of infernal machine assas
sination under false and foolish pre
tenses, should make their appearance
for Crowo.
Mr. Bookwalter is the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Ohio, but
Bbokwnlter's Democracy is of very re
cent origin. No longer ago than last
year he was protesting in letters to the
newspapers that ho had never voted
with any party except the Republican;
that he voted for Fremont, for Lincoln
twice and Grant twice; that all the
prrsonal interest ho took in politics
went to the support of the Republican
party; that he was emphatically in fav
or ofthe war policy and of emancipa
tion. In September, 1880, he wrote a
letter declaring, that he'had yet to cast
his first Democratic vote, and sayins:
"I have never made a political speech
in niy life, and by tho help of the Lord
I hope I never may." He has made
one political speech since he was nomi
nated, but there were no indications of
the "help of the Lord" about that
The amount of alcohol present varies
greatly in tho several liquors of which
it forms the intoxicating ingredients,
rum containing about 75 per cent,
whisky and brandy averaging about 50,
port wine 20, sherry 15 to 24, Madaira
19, claret 10, champagne 14, cider 6,
ales and porter from 6 to 12, and ab
stainers vill probably be surprised to
learn that all fermented drinks con
tain alcohol, ginger, beer, eta, usually
containing from I to 3 per cent of it
Indeed, total abstinence from alcohol
would seem almost an impossibility,
for even milk contains small quantites
of it; and in bread-making, it is pro
duced in considerable quantity by the
action of the yeast upon the sugar in
the flour; the aggregato amount of
spirit thus produced in London being
some 300,000 gallons annually. Some
chemists go to tho length of asserting
that even water itself is not entirely
f rco from it
AXEEDLEgS'EXl'EXSE TO TAX-PAYEES.
Criminal prosecutions havn ever
bon a source of great expense to the
people. While the law should be
promptly enforced and criminals pun
ished, yet when any expensive innova
tions upon well established law is prac
ticed, it should be promptly corrected.
Ono of these innovations for which
tax-payers have to pay no doubt aris
es from the fact that justices of the
psace when acting in the capacity of
magistrates in the preliminary examin
ation of alleged criminals for the pur
pose of binding the accused over to ap
pear before tho grand jury, too often
make a mistake in not exercising their
legally authorized duty and thus pro
tect tno tax-payers from having to
liquidate tho expense of a groundless
and often spiteful accusation. It is
almost universally the case, that when
any person appears before a justice of
tho peace and there files a sworn state
ment in writing, accusing some one of
an offense, that the magistratehere-
upon ithoi' further information
upon the subject issues forth with a
warrant for the arrest of the accused,
and when the matter is examined into
it is apparent that tho cause of com
plaint is frivolous and without founda
tion, and the case is dismissed, or
sometimes the accused waives an ex
amination and is bound over to await
the action of the grand jury, when it
is dismissed by them. In either case
the tax payers have to pay for the ex
periment. These kind of cases are
many times brought by some person
who has a private pique against the
paity accused and not wishing to bear
the expense of a private proceeding if
they havo cause for such, they file an
accusation against the object of their
hatred and thus seek to get revenge.
This error is not generally committed
by magistrates with a willful disposi
tion to do wrong but by a mistake up
on their part, caused by trying to aid
in the execution of the laws where they
do not understand their duty, or the
plain pr6visions of our statute. Our
Code on page 385 sec 343 provides
that, "When complaint ii made to a
magistrate of the commisson of a
crime, he must examine the informant
on oath and reduce his statement to
writing and also take the depositions
of any witnesses that the informant
nay produce in support thereof," Sec.
344 also provides that "if tho magis
trate be satisfied that the crime com
plained of has been committed, and
I that there is probable cause to believe
that the person charged has committed
it he must issue a warrant of arrest"
It is very evident from the above that
it is the duty of the magistrate in such
cases to refuse to issue tho warrant
until the complaining party produces
sufficient compotent witnesses for ex
amination and until tho magistrate is
satisfied that the crime complained of
was committed by the accused, but on
the contrary the warrant in such cases
is usually issued when no information
is had on the subject except that ob
tained from the private prosecutor and
they have but little idea and many
times are really in doubt as to whether
a crime has been committed by the
party charged. If such officers would
take care to understand and perform
their duty as prescribed by our laws
for them to do in such .cases it would
no doubt greatly lessen the taxes. For
in the majority of such cases if the ac
cuser was required to bring his wit
nesses before the magistrate and their
deposition taken by him he would
readily come to the conclusion that no
crime had been committed, or that the
accused was not tho guilty party, and
thereupon he would refuse to issue the
warrant and thus save the public from
paying- a large bill of costs. After
the warrant is issued every-thing is
done in the name of the State and at
the expenso of the people. This plain
provision of our statute which is near
ly always overlooked was no doubt en
acted by our legislature with the inten
tion that by it a means would be af
forded by which tho public would be
protected against these large bills of
costs whicn so often occur and are al
most invariably brought about by par
ties to servo some private end or grati
fy some malicious feeling against their
fellow man. 4?or such reasons and
many others that might bo mentioned
it is apparent that the office- of justice
of the peace is a very important one,
and the tax-payers of the State should
take care that such men are nominated
for this office who will take the trouble
to examine into and understand their
duty and thus be able to prevent this
negligent manner of expending the
people's money. Corvallis Gazette.
We are not at all sorry to learn that
at a bull fight, in Marseilles, France,
on Sunday, August 14th, a platform
fell, killing ten people and -wounding
a great many. It must have been
great fun for the bulls, who rarely
have the laugh on their side on occa
sions of this kind.

United States Attorney General
MacVeagh has just mad.3 a decision of
much importance to those who intend
to make their homes on the public do
main. It is this in brief: That the
President may establish a military res
ervation on the public lands whenever
and wherever he shall elect, regardless
of the claim of any pre-emption settler
on such land up to the time that such
pre-emption settler shall have made
his last payment and proved up his
right to the fee in the land. But as to
homestead settlers the case is different
From the instant that a homestead en
try is made the land settled on is seg
regated from the public domain, and
the right of the settler to remain and
complete his title can not be disturbed.
This is iu conformity with many
United States Court decisions. It
gives so great an advantage to home
steading over pre-emption as to make
the, latter practically an obsolete law.

In the Whole Illslory or Medicine
No preparation has ever performed
such marvellous cures, or maintained
so wide a reputation, as Ayer's Ciier
ry Pectoral, which is recognized as
the world's remedy for the throat and
lungs. Its long-continued series of
wonderful cures in all climates has
made it universally known as a safo
and reliable agent to employ. Against
ordinary colds, which are the forerun
ners of more-serious disorders, it acts
speedily and surely, always relieving
suffering and often saving life. The
protection it affords, by its timely use
in throat and chest disorders, makes it
an invaluable remedy to be kept al
ways on hand in every home. No per
son can afford to be without it, and
those who have tried it. never will.
From their knowledge of its composi
tion and effects, physicians use the
Cherry Pectoral extensively in their
practice, and clergymen recommend it
It is absolutely certain in its remedial
effects, and will always cure where
cures are possible.

To the Trade : Practical experience
has demonstrated to us that the trade re
quires a choice old Bourbon for immedi
ate use. For it is well known that straight
whisky that is absolutely pure requires
age, great care and attention, and our old
Davenport whisky possesses all the above
qualities. The grain used in the distilla
tion of our J. II. Davenport whisky is
carefully selected from the finest, richest
and very lest grown in the state of Ken
tucky. The water is drawn from one of
the finest limestone springs in the state,
the peculiar properties of which have
gained lor KcntucKy whiskies such world
wide celebrity. This process makes our
J. H. Davenport a pure, hand made, sour
mash whisky, and we claim that for deli
cacy of flavor, purity and medicinal qual
ities, it stands unexcelled.
Yours truly, ScuuLrz &Von Baroen.
From and after this date J. P. McDaniel
& Co. Jacksonville, will keep the justly
celebrated Davenport, pure straight whis
ky exclusively.
