TWO TEARS OF DEMOCRACY.

The first two years of the Democratic Administration at Washington leave small ground for Republican criticism. It has been an administration free from scandals. The only thing approaching to a scandal has been that Concerning the Fan-Electric Telephone, which was something that occurred before this Administration came into power. There haf been no development in that transaction which cast any dishonor on the President. The country has been prosperous and the people contented and satisfied nnder Democratic rule.

The has been dissatisfaction among Democrats because of the Civil Service reform policy of the Administration, but that is no ground for Republican fault-finding. It is a policy that keeps their followers in office. They profess to be its advocacies. Outside of that no Democratic has cause to find fault with the Administration. The President has shown firmness and a conscientious regard for his duty in dealing with legislative He is gradually getting the Republicans out of office, and we have ne denbt that at the end of his term hs will be a much stronger man before the country than when he was elected.

Whether he will be renominated is another qutstion, and may probably be left to abide utnre vents. Seybertsville. (Correspondence.) March 8.

As the law was when the act was passed prohibiting billiards, in this county, liquor and beer Might be sold in the same room. As the law now is, there must ba co connection between billiard rooms and the places where liquor is sold. The objection to the playing, which existed when the law passed, has been done away with, and we could with as much propriety enact a law prohibiting the 'playisg of lawn tennis or croquet Let's do away with these puritanical blue laws.
