' 1 PERSONAL. To the General Public. Now be it known to ill Totcrs that Bobbins has about'$3,000 at stake, Jones about $1,000, and Gould $600 or J800. These men being "lib eral, clever fellows," are said to be running a free Saloon, where ia kept on tap at all times, ivbisky, beer, eigars and tobacco.' Yes, that a most vicious dire in ont town is subsidised in the interest of -these men, and run night and day to debauch and corrupt our youug men, and in the nature of a bribe to all worthless sore-eyed sots that go there to guzzle. Swarms of them reeled from the door on Saturday night, and on Sunday an open Saloon was es tablished in a lumber yard between " Cherry and Maple, Kortj Eaton, and at last accounts the proprietors bad not called for the keg and schoouers. .We mean by this no disrespect to the proprietors of the lumber Vard, for it was occupied without their knowledge or consent. we cnarge tnese tnings upon inese men squarely. The thing is notorious and can be proven. We dare an investigation. Yet while these men are doing these things, they, to bide their infamy, are peddling charges of drink ing ana treating against Republican candi dates. Surely such cheek is worthy of a "brass medal." We are told that in the face of all this, and with full knowledge of it, some Pro hibitionists will scratch their own ticket and vote for Robbing and Jones, who nntil elec tion are practically proprietors of a drinking The "article at the head of this column was published the: week before the election last fall by the Eaton Register. Immediately up on its appearance we placed a copy of the paper containing it in the hands of prominent attorneys of both political parties, who ad- advised us that it was clearly li belous, and that if it were possible to secure a jury free from partisan bias,- we could, without doubt, re cover damages for such groundless and outrageous charges, but not caring to assume the risks and trouble of Vexatious litigation for the ' damages, that might be recov ered from a neighboring paper, which could even in the heat of a political campaign, without the simplest excuse,' thus assault a co temporary that has never yet, and we trust, will not descend to such a depth, we recently addressed to Mr. Albright, publisher of . the Reg ister, the following note : ' EATON, O., Feb. 7, 1887. Publisher of the Eaton Regtittr: I enclose a copy of an article that appeared in the last issue of the Megitttr prior to the election last tall. The beat of the campaign is now over, and I call upon yon as an act of jus tice to retract the charges therein made or to give the name of the author of the article, and the authority upon which the charges were maae. .... Kespecttully, L. G. GOULD. After waiting for two weeks and receiving no reply, we have con eluded to publish the original charges and our . note to the Regis ter, with, such comments as we think the nature of the case de serves. . e -' - 1 1 in our iorty years newspaper experience, it is the first time we have any recollection of a journal, even among the lowest class known as Police : Gazettes, that refused to do justice to an innocently slan dered party" through the medium of their publications, and it seems almost incredulous, that a man so loud in his professions of , the Christian religion, which teaches us "thou shalt' love thy neighbor as thyself," and "do unto "others as ye would they should do unto you, could . so far forget all decency, self-respect and common honor, as to thus .publicly make such charg es "against 'a neighbor, when he must have known in his own heart they were as false as his preten sions to Christianity must be, and against one tooi who had always treated him with courtesy and ci vility, never even permitting an al lusion disrespectful to himself or his family to appear ,in his col umns, although frequent opportu nities were presented. . We think he should paste in' the crown of his Sunday hat the sentence, "thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor," and every time with sanctimonious visage he feels in clined to say, "I thank God I am not as other men are," he would read it and profit by the scriptural lesson f ' . t ; The heat of the campaign is now over. The people, tired and sick of such literature as has been fur nished them by the papers, having as little judgment and sense "and regard for the truth and utter lack of pecuniary responsibility as the Eaton Register, have given us a Democratic National Administra tion and reduced the majorities of Republicans in counties like ours, we think it time for such scurri lous and infamous sheets to exhib it a little common sense and de cency, and if they cannot retract or apologize for such outrageous and malicious articles, that they now cooly gather up the proofs of the assertions and' publish them, or else like the "sow returned to its wallow," revel and die in their own filth. As we remarked before, we have always treated Mr. Albright kind ly, courteously and gentlemanly, and the only reason for such an infa mous, vicious, slanderous and lying attack on the part of the Register, of which he claims to be the publish er and proprietor, was because we saw proper to advocate the election to office of men of our political faith. The Rrqister did the same thing, with its usual lack of suc cess in carrying the strength of its shattered and discomfited party. We now, as the Register declines to pay any attention to our note, ask it to furnish to the public the proofs of its charges, or stand a self-convicted, hypocritical liar and slanderer. A horse famine all . over the world, is predicted, will follow a great European war, and farmers and stock growers on this 'side the ocean will do well to get ready for it. Two years ago ''England was buying j horses in Canada and in this" country for her army, and a great war between England and Russia seemed imminent. Recent ly Germany discovered that her hereditary enemy? France, Vwas buying a large number phorses in Denmark and a wgr scare swept up the Rhine. Since 'then-Geiy. many has forbade the exportation of. horses, and so, has Austria and also Russia. Naturally this will tone up the horse market and as England will hold onto all the horses she has, because she will want to at least be fully prepared for the worst if a continental war comes, this country will be expect ed to supply the demand This the United States will endeavor to do. Let France and Germany and Austria and Kussia, any one, or all of them, pay us their cash and they may have the choice in our market, not only for horses but for all war : supplies. First come, first served. '-..: - The. Toledo Bee, speaking of the surplus says : "The money be longs to the people ; it was filched from them by extortionate taxa tion, it was taken from them by a process of legalized robbery. If the country does not need the sur plus and nobody is so insane as to claim that it does, let wise ap propriations dispose of the present surplus and prompt relief mea sures prevent an accumulation of another large surplus in the future. People can use their own money to better advantage than the gov ernment can. The banks have no claim on the surplus, and people should not be taxed to support them. Taxation for the legitimate demands of the government, even when . seemingly burdensome1, is cheerfully acquiesced in, but when advance beyond that limit is at tempted, people protest.. The sur plus can be put in circulation through the agency of government improvement, and immediate ben efit will accrue to laboring .and mercantile interests." The Mikror's criticisms and exposures of tne puDiic printing steal ana mocK quarrels for political effect, are gall and wormwood to the Eaton Democrat. It. P. Mtrror. If Mr. Bloom knows of any "pub lic printing steals" committed by the editor of the . Democrat, it is his honorable and bounden duty to bring them, to light. If he don't know of any, and makes such grave charges simplyjor. bunkum he is a "dirty dog", that deserves a kick from every honest man around him. It would be more within the pale of common sense and self- respect for Mr. Bloom to be a little more guarded in his language when speaking of such matters, and not again put the county to an expense of witness fees and mileage for simply "wind." "'" 1 President Cleveland vetoed the bill to enable the commissioner of agriculture to make a distribution of seeds in Texas. He saj's, after expressing sympathy with the suf ferers : "I can find no warrant for such an appropriation in the con stitution, and I do not believe that the power and duty of the general Government ought toi be extended to the relief of .individual suffering which is in no manner properly re lated to the public service or bene fit." ' The Eaton papers and New Paris Mirror form a Mutual Admiration Society .(?) Cam den bazette. Well, we have very little' admi ration for the "wind bag" that puffs and blows about a public murder," and his neighbors steal ing, and when brought to the front knows nothing ! Mileage and wit ness fees for "wind," is rather ex pensive to the county. Don't blow about the expense of county print ing any more. 1 m SBi m a.i Hon. James E. Campbell in a recent address before the Virginia Democratic Association, reviewed the history of the Republican par ty, and spoke the truth, if ever it was uttered by mortal man, when he said of the reign of that party : "There was never twenty years, not since God permitted men to inhab it the earth, in which there was so much corruption, theft, robbery and crime." The Senate has passed a bill ap propriating $21,000,000 for coast defense and heavy guns. We agree with the New York Star when it says it is glad of it, but would be better pleased by a bill reducing taxes by $21,000,000. There is no defense to a free people so impreg nable as low taxation, .z,'. ., ., ; When Bob Kennedy left the Senate in high dudgeon several weeks ago because he considered himself insulted at something that had occurred, his parting words are Baid to have been : "You can all go to h-11." Such a remark is certainly profane and possibly pro phetic ! . . - WASHINGTON LETTER. [From Our Regular Correspondent.] WASHINGTON, D. C., FEB., 21, 1887. Congress has given its; attention to a vast amount of miscellaneous matter during the present week, such as the Texas Ku-Klux inves tigation, money for rivers and har- Dors, retaliation iowaro.9 .juanaua, and the trade dollar but the most interesting debate occurred in the senate oyer ine dui ..provnaAug lor the increase of the" navy Jestablish- The Senate voted for the buildr ing of ten hew cruisers. Senator aiaxey, oi rexas, was nojomy m favor of building war- veWls, but of fortifying every seaport in the country. 'He knew that it was co in e to cost money, but ne said it there was any force in the maxim, "in time of peace prepare for war," this was the time to put it iri prac tice, when the Treasury: was over flowing and .when the money was being absolutely wasted, ' I Senator Butler, of bouth Caroli na, wanted the vessels to be heavi ly armored. Mr. Hale insisted that the pending bill cqnfined the new vessels strictly to . t defensive, not aeeressive purposes,, - He was for defensive purposes. tirst, and al ter that, if armored ships were de sired, he would lay or tnqm. Ine two features on which. Congress was now proceeding were) the fast cruisers (making it' dangerous for other nations to engage in iwar with the United States, because their commerce would be the' prev of the cruisers) and the coast defenses to prevent foreign fleets from bom barding the great cities ol tne unit ed States. : Senator Ingalls ' expressed the belief that the floating batteries provided for in the bill, would be practically useless. The Senate had been, within the past few weeks, appropriating millions on millions, not for tribute, but for defense. Wealthy men who did not care how, the money .was to go. had been doing this, bjje hoped that the -Senate would pause in its 1 1 T ;,-t--Tf 1 .1 -. A neaaiong career-long enougn to gei some tangible information" as to how much money there was in the Treasury, and how long the! "Foun tain of Pactolus" woiild afford the golden stream necessary, to, meet the millions which the Senate s was so recklessly voting away. . Senator Dolph hadiJtead to the Senate a newspaper clipping which described an imaginary1, attack on and destruction of .the jcify of San Francisco, by a hostile lltet. Then he dwelt upon the present defense less conditions of the United States and said it was under heavy bond to keep peace with all the world, and that it would be at a humiliat ing disadvantage in any contro versy, . " ' ' When Senator Vest took the floor he asked who was responsible for the present 'disgraceful lack of a United States Navy and sea coast defenses.; He knew that he would be "thrashing ; old straw," but he wanted to remind the Sen ate and the country that 'Sfiere was not in the. history of the civilized world, a page of mal-administration equal to that of the Navy Depart ment of the United States since the close of the war, nearly' $500, 000,000 for naval purposes. . If a British Minister should make such an exhibit in parliament as the United States Navy Department from 1865 to 1885, he . jvould be pursued out of his place with exe crations.. The Senator!, believed that if this session were to last much longer, "Congress'would put Aladdin's lamp into thahands of a receiver." ., .. ' The House of Representatives has made up its mind to fight the President's veto of the bigj. Pauper Pension bill, and the-Senate of course, will do the sare?Itiis not believed, however, that the veto can be overridden. ...sa'r ! : The Presidents latest veto-is that of the Texas Seed bilL . It appro priated $10,000 for seed- corn and wheat to be distributed in the drouth stricken region,1 of,.that State. Its advocates made a strong plea, but the President said iri the message accompanying the veto I do not believe inat tne power and duty of the general? Grovern ment ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which ia in no manner related to the pub lic service or benefit." ' Among his sentences was one which will doubt less have a place with the- familiar quotations of our Federal politics. Said he : "though the people sup port tne liovernment, thei.Lrovern ment ought not support the people. - - J UNO, Chicago Herald: There is some difference between Secretary of the Treasury Manning and Secretary of the Treasury John Sherman. Man ning resigned his position to go into the banking business in Gotham, but according to all accounts at the time, Sherman went into the bank ins business there and did not re- sism. The bank is still known on the street as "Fort Sherman." The Chicago Times says : Governor Foraker announces that he shall not be a candidate for re-election, and that at the end of his term he will return to the practice of law. He assigns.as the reason of this determination the small salarjT of his office and the necessity of increasing his person al income. , An . Ohio'vRepublican that doesn't make money, .out of politics can hardly retain the con fidence and favor of his party .."and Foraker could not be elected "again, let him try ever so hard." ' - The Philadelphia Record defines it thus : "Pensioners differ from plunderers as day differs : from night, and that is where Mr. Cleve land rightly drew the line with his little blue veto pencil." In the letter of acceptance which Mr. Cleveland made public ori, Au gust 18, 1884, there appeared! a paragraph which, places the Presi dent in a position of tacit opposi tion to a second termj or rather favoring a constitutional provision making a President ineligible to re-ejection. It read as follows : A government is not by the peo ple when a result which 'should rep resent the intelligent will of free and thinking .men is, or can be, determined by; the; shameless cor ruption of . their, suffrages. ... When an election to, -onice shall be the se lection ' by the voters of one of their number to assume for a time a public trust, instead of his dedi cation to the profession of politics ; when the holders , of the ballot, quickened by a sense of duty, shall , avenge truth betrayed and pledges broken, when the suffrage shall be altogether free and uncor rupted, the full realization of a government by the people will be at hand. ' And of the means to this end, not one would, in my judgment, be more effective than an amendment to the Constitution disqualifying the , President from re-election. : When we consider the patronage of this great office, the allurements of power, the temp tation to retain public places once gained, : and, more than all, the availability a party finds in an in cuiribent whom a horde of office holders, with a zeal born of favors yet to come, stand ready to aid with money and trained political service, we recognize in the eligi bility of the President for re-elec tion a most serious danger to that calm, deliberate and intelligent po litical action which must charac terize a government by the people, When the Washington Govern ment concludes to become a vast charitable institution to pension all employes, victims of great fires. floods, cyclones, tornadoes, reaper accidents, shipwrecks, &c, &c, it will then be in order for a great upheaval against a Presidential ve to providing for any of them. Not before. ; Ex-Governor Hoadly recently gave his vieWof the political out- look? .He said : ' "The Democrats are hopeful to man for next fall. , All we need do is rest on our oars and let the Re publicans go ahead. They are fast cutting off their own heads. Ihe manner in which they are manag ing affairs in Ohio is the most con vincing proof of their inability to govern honestly and progressive ly.' Their administration has al ready caused such strong opposi tion from honest citizens that the end of their regime is only a ques tion of time, You can put it down as a fact that victory never looked so certain for the Democrats in Ohio as it does next falL" Refer ring to the next Presidential cam paign, he said : . "I have been un able to find any name suggested as the - DemocratitT 'candtdate-but one. Wherever I have been, and whoever I have talked to, Presi dent Cleveland has been the man suggested. As far as I can under stand," opposition to him has to come. ' We certainly have not heard of it yet. . Personally, don't very well see who can be put up against him to make any lm provement on our present choice, It seems to me that if Cleveland is renominated that the citizens of the . United States will trust him again. Americans appreciate good : man when they find him. Surely Grover Cleveland has acted ably, honestly and progressively." Startled His Hearers. Cincinnati Enquirer. The Rev. Howard Crosby, whose lecture on "The Scriptural View of lemperance," before the students of the Theological Seminary at Ruttgers College last evening, has created so much comment, was seen by a reporter to-day. He said : "There are some points in the :eport of my lecture that need to be explained and corrected ine newspapers make it appear that I-went over to New Bruns wick and touched off a bombshell The fact is, : I was invited by the students to give my views on the 'Scriptural idea of temperance.'- lhey knew what 1 thought betore I went there, for my, views are the same that I have been advocating publicly for the last thirty jrears. At the close of my lecture several of the . professors camo . ud and shook hands with me, saying that they agreed with me in every par ticular. Of course, some were very angrv, and 1 could see that the fac ulty were divided on the subject. It is said in one of the papers that when asked by Professor Doohttle whether, if a jroung man called at his house, I would advise him to offer the young man wine as freely as I would conee, or lemonade, replied : 1 do not believe m treat ing : but if you want a glass of claret with your beefsteak to-mor row morning, and can afford to have it, and you don't have it, you are a fool.' "The expression sounds very rough, and I would not use such language to Professor Doolittle, who is an old friend of mine. What I did say was that he would be very foolish not to use it." 'lhen you believe in using wme yourself?" i es, I use both wine and beer, and I am thankful to God for them. I am told that I advocate the use of these drinks because I enjoy them myself. That is sim ply nonsense. I don't advocate the use of any kind of drink, but I believe it is not sinful to use either wine or beer, and that a man does not sin who uses them in moderation. The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments both plainly show that wine has been used in all ages, and nowhere can it be shown by them that it is wrong to drink wme. It is duty of the Church to teach mo eration. That is the teaching of Christ himself. ' "I dont believe inijthe'riise rof distilled liquors in any shape, bfr cause I believe them to be . injuri ous to the health, and.thefefore sinful. But distilled spirits are just as different from? wine as opium is Irom conee. For advo cating such doctrines I have been called a heretic and almost every thing else that the temperance fa natics could think of, but there is nothing novel in my doctrine."
