THE UOOSTEB.
How It Came to Be the Emblem of
Democratic Victory.
Why, when and where was the
rooster adopted as the emblem of
Democracy?".
The question quoted above and ad
dressed to the editor of the Enquirer
has been asked a thousand times in
the last week.
It has been suggested, no doubt, by
the (treat popularity of the bird since
the 4th day of November. The ques
tion has been answered before, but for
the benefit of those who do not under
stand the situation it can be answered
again.
In 1842, after the Harrison cam
paign, there was great doubt as to how
Indiana had cast her vote. The situ
ation was similar to that in New York
in every respect. An editor named
Chapman conducted the Democratic
newspaper at Indianapolis, and as is
often the case in boasting over a vic
tory, his editorial rejoicing over the
result was termed "crowing." In a
day or two, when some of the back
counties were heard from, it seemed
his crowing had been premature, and
the Whig organ came out giving late
returns showing Democratic defeat,
and in the headline was the express
ion, ' .-. ' '"
'Crow, Chapman, Crow."
This was intended as a taunt, and
must have been felt, for a few more
counties yet to hear from again turned
the tables, and showed that the Demo
crats had won. It was then that the
rival editor hoisted at the head of his
colums a magnificent rooster and
printed under it the words "We
Crow."
It made a palpable hit. The pas
sion for roosters spread, and from that
day to this the bird immortalized by
the Hoosier editor has been the em
blem of Democratic success.
Many who long suffered from indis
cribable feelings of distress, lame back,
aching joints, sores, swellings, weakness
of the urioary and digestive organs, un
natural feelings of weariness, headach,
nervousness, despondency, sleepless
ness, disturbing dreams, partial insani
ty, etc., after doctering liver, kidneys,
nerves and brain with the various
quack nostrums of the day, and being
nearly frightened to death by their
alarming advertisements, quietly began
using Dr. Guysostt's Yellow Dock and
Sarsaparilla, and were agreeably sur
prised to quickly find themselves re
stored to perfect health. No other
remedy equals it. 2t
The Way to Do it.
were'tTiere before the law existed and
who think to take refuge behind it.
Let the work of purification be done
first and let it be thorough. Let the
public offices be swept clean and garn
ished, and then let tho' civi-service
law do iu work. , -
The Democratic party beisg called
to the conduct of the government will
be expected to conduct itself. It will
be held responsible. To say then chat
it shall proceed in this, great work
with the same old partisan machinery
that has done the Republican party
such partisan service, and with the of
fices in possession of men not only
inimical jo its policy, but faithless and
inefficient, is preposterous. The Demo
cratic administration would result in
failure and disaster in such a case.
Let us start fair. A. Democratic
administration should be in the hands
of its friends. The civil service should
first be reformed by thoroughly cleans
ing it. Trie officials now there should
go. They must go. Any other way
of dealing with them is nonsensical.
Then when they are gone and good
men are in their places the work of
building up and maintaining an hon
est, efficient and capable civil service
will begin.
Turn the rascals out. Plain'Deakr.
A Printer's Dream.
A printer sat in his office chair, his
boots were patched and his coat thread
bare, and his face looked weary and
worn with care. While sadly thinking
of business debt, old Morpheus slowly
around him crept; and sleeping he
dreamed thathe was dead, from trouble
and toil, his spirit had fled,, and not
even a cow bell tolled, for the peaceful
rest of his cow-hide sole. As he wan
dered about among the shades that
smoke and scorch in the lower hades.
he slowly observed an iron door, that
creaking hung on hinges, ajar, but the
entrance was closed with a red hot bar,
and Satan himself stood peeping out,
and watching for travelers there about,
and thus to the passing printer he
spoke: "Come in my dear, it will cost
you nothing, and never fear, this is the
place where I cook the ones who never
pay their subscription sums; for though
in life they may escape, they'l find
when they're dead it is too late; I will
show you the place where I melt them
in, with red hot chains and scraps of tin
and also where I comb their head with
broken glass and melted lead, and if of
refreshments they only think, there's
boiling water for them to drink; there's
a red hot grindstone to grind down his
nose, and the red hot rings to wear on
his toes, and if they mention they don't
like fire, I sew up their mouth with red
hot wire; and then, dear sir, you should
see them squirm when I roll them over
to cook and turn."
With those last words, the printer
awoke, and thought it all a practical
joke, but still at times so real did it
seem, tuat ne cannot believe it was an a
dream and . often he thinks with a
chuckle and grin, of the fate of those
who save their tin ana never pay the
printer. Sunday Sitings.
Catarrh
Is a very prevalent and exceedingly dis
agreeable disease, liable, if neglected, to
develop into serious consumption. Be
ing a constitutional disease, it requires
a constitutional remedy like Hood's
Sarsaparilla, which, acting through the
blood, reaches every part of the system,
effecting a radical and permanent cure
of catarrh in even its most severe forms.

"THE CLEVELAND OEM."
The Plain Dealer believes sincerely
in civil service reform. It ha always
so believed and so believes now. It
holds and has held that under Repub
lican rule the civil service has become
corrupt. "
But with that alleged civil service
reform that would keep in office the
Republican officials who have been in
office through more than two score
years, who have made the civil ser
vice a partisan machine, who debauched
and corrupted the civil service, and
who have been faithless as public ser
vants. We have no sympathy at all
we hold and maintain that a civil ser
vice reform that would leave these
federal officials in the places that they
have disgraced would necessarily be
a farce and no reform .whatever.
We "believe that the Democratic
garty has !ome into power mainly be
cause the people have reached the con
clusion that there ought to be a change
m administration of public anairs, a
change thorough and complete
chance that will carry with it
the whole horde of Republican offici
als now in office, and that will sup
plant them with other and better men.
The demand was for a change. If
the Democratic party when it assumes
power does not make the change and
make it complete, it will fail to do the
very thing that first of all it has been
placed in power to do.
A practical civil service reform con
sists in putting competent men in the
place of incompetent men, honest men
in the place of dishonest men, clean
handed men in the place of corrupt
men, faithful officials who believe that
"public office is a public trust" in the
place of inefficient partisans who pros
titute their offices for party purposes.
Nothing less thah this will do. Noth
ing less will satisfy the people.
We do not quarrel with the civil
service law, although we have never
considered it as particularly practical.
It can, we think be improved upon;
but let it stvid. But before that law
is allowed to do its work, let the de
partments of the government be
ourered ot the faithless officials who

Naming the Costliest Diamond on the
Continent After the President
Elect. IKew York World. , ,
Buffalo, November 15. Governor
Cleveland has received a new honor.
His name has been attached to the fin
est diamond ever cut in the New
World. Simon Dessau, the New
York diamond importer, on the day
after election commenced cutting a
very large diamond, weighing seventy
eight carats, which will weigh forty to
fifty carats when finished. It is with
out a flaw and will be worth $40,000
or $50,000 when cut. Mr. Dessau
has named it "The Cleveland Gem,"
and as such it promises to become his
torical, being the largest and most per
perfect gem ever cut on the American
continent.
The stone was shown when partly
finished to Governor Cleveland, who
was much pleased with the compli
ment. It will be sent to the New Or
leans Exposition. This New World's
Kohinoor was found at the Cape of
Good Hope about eight years ago, and
has been owned by English brokers
until two months ago, when Mr.
Dessau bousht it. His intention was
to cut it at once, but the enthusiasm
of his father, D. S. Dessau, prevented
it. The old gentleman is an ardent
support of Governor Uleveiana ana
he insisted it should not be cut until
after the election. "If Cleveland is
elected it shall be called the Cleve
land Gem.' he said, and it was so
agreed.
