ESTOhio Democrats will undo the work of
Hie last infamous Republican gerrymander.
JST'Dare the Republican congress take the
tax off whiskey nnd leave it on ankets ?
S3?"The wife of Governor Campbell has
been seriously iil during the past week, but
the danger point has been passed and she is
on the road to recovery.
JSiTWo have received the Waverly Courier,
It new paper started by J. W. Johnson, for
merlyof the Jackson Herald. It is a stanch
Democratic sheet, and looks healthy.
jgfThe death of Jefferson Davis leaves
but one survivor of President Pierce's Cabi
netthe Hon. James Campbell, of Phila
delphia, who was Postmaster-General.
5f"No doubt there will be a big crowd at
the inauguration of Governor Campbell,
Prominent Democrats from over the State
will fill ' the capital. Henry county will send
its quota.
J3?"Poblic Schools as Affecting Crime and
Vice" is the title-of an article, by Benjamin
Eeece, to apper in "The PopularScience
Monthly" for January. Mr. Reeco cites fig
ures which show that crime does not decrease
as illiteracy is diminished, and says that our
achool system should be made more affective
by the addition of moral teaching.
IST'Should Calvin S. Brice be eleoted to
the United States Senate, it will be the first
time a Union soldier ever filled a seat in that
body. James A. Garfield was the only other
soldier ever elected to the Senate, but he
never took the seat, as he was elected Presi
dent of the United States before his term of
office as Senator began. Newark Advocate.
JgTThere is no question in our mind but
that Marquis will be seated as Lieuteuant
Governor. He was elected on the faoeof the
returns as first sent to Columbus ,and then
there has been enough Republican irregu
larity to elect him by a handsome mnjotity.
Theg. o.p. will howl, but the people have
come to know when it howls the loudest it
has been committing the most rascality.
Marquis will be.seated.
JSfOueof tho"d d meanest papers in
Ohio," as old Ben. Wade would say, the
Bowling Green Sentinel, had better attend to
the affairs in its own county, before it slan
ders its neighbors or extends advice. The
people of Henry county are well able toman
age their own affairs, and are managing
ihem to the distrust of criminals, who have
found ont that there is a law which cuts their
career short. Can Wood county say as much?
1 President Harrison says the protective
prinoiple mnst be maintained and "must be
extended to the products of the farms."
Well i Republican orators in this section have
been wont to tell the farmers that they were
already enjoying blessing of protection. The
product of the farms are already "protected"
nearly to death. It is a hollow mookery to
ay that the farmer receives any benefis from
it, however. Why, corn is "protected" by a
tariff of about one half its selling price in
Kansas bnt it sells for 20 cents a bushel there,
nevertheless, and for 16 cents to 18 cents in
Iowa. Protection doesn't protect.
jgyThatthe Democratic Legislate re will
be more fair in its division of the State for
Congressional purposes than the. Republi
cans have been, we have not the least doubt,
bnt if ih xedistrioting of the State ware left
to ns the Democrats should have fifteen con
gressmen and the Bepnbliaana six just th
opposite from what His now..- There was no

PafDid you ever see a woman of good
sense, a good wife, who did not like a nice
home, with everything beautiful around her?
If the money every wage-worker is com
pelled to pay oat of every dollar of his earn
ings on account of our robbery tariff system
could be expended on and la a home, in a few
years every man who desired to do so, 03uld
own a com for table little horns, and that, too.
withoat the necessity of a building ' asBOoia-
tions. Our abominable tariff laws have been
the csuse bare mads the demand for so
many building associations. Workman.
t3TWhat the opposition to Mr. Brioe expect
to gain by sneeringly insinuating that the
Democratic press of the State is being sub
sidized by Mr. Bnee by his paying a year's
subscription for each and having the papers
sent to him, ia beyond onr comprehension.
We don't believe the Democratic press of the
State is made of that kiDd of staff, and the
mere insinuation that it is should be enongh
to relegate the insinuator to the background,
tSTIt is currently understood that Con
gressman Boothman has offered the Napol
on post-office to Capt. Randall, providing he
will acoept it. This may surprise some Re
publicans, bat it is given oat as a faot. There
is no doubt but that Mr. Boothman is look
ing around for a soldier to supplant Mr.
Haag, but why he goes around D. M. Jones,
an old crippled soldier, a good Republican
and a pronounced applicant, is beyond our
comprehension. What's the matter with
Jones? That a soldier would succeed one-
armed Sam Haag we have never doubted, es
peoially when so many crippled Republican
soldiers stand ready to accept the position.
There is Frease, Raudall, Jones, Stockman
Wagner, all soldiers and Republicans! If
Captain Randall is to have the place, we con
gratulate him. But, my, what a rumpus it
will raise in the g. o. p. ranks if the Capt.
walks off with the prize!
gfThere has been some fear expressed
that a Republican Congress would steal the
Democratic party's thunder on the tariff
question. One who has no snoh fear is the
Chicago Herald. It says that "every time
the Republican party pretends to revise and
reduce the tariff it adds to its injustices. "
The Herald goes on then and reasons as fol
lows:
What sort of tariff reform ia tn hn nul.
ed rrom a party whose chief spokesmen in
sist that any reduotion of duties that are
iaia soieiy m oenair of capital is to come out
of labor? What sort of tariff reform will
that be which will be begun, continued, and
ended with Agents and lobbyists of the pro
tected mill owners ever at the elbows of the
so called representatives of the people who
are to reduce it? What sort of tariff reform
may we expect from a party whioh owes its
present ascendenoy to the enormous corrup
tion fund which the monopolists whom thin
tariff protects raised last year and used to de
bauch voters? How mooh will a man reduce
the tariff in the interest of consumers who
starts out with the lying promise that this
odious Bystem of taxation for the benefit of
the rich and the spoliation of the poor is
necessary to maintain wages?
Tho Cronin Suspects.
The long continued trial of the suspected
Dr. Cronin murderers in Chicago, ended
Friday and the case was given to the Jury.
The Jury agreed upon their verdict and the
punishment of the criminals on Sunday.
Coughlin, Burke and O'Sullivan were con
victed of murder and given life sentences in
prison; Eunze was given three years impris
onment, and Beggs was acquitted.
A Great Power.
More than thirty-two thousand public
schools of the United States have each been
supplied with a copy of Webster's Unabridged
Dictionary. Think what that means. If
there is an average of 60 scholars to each
school, it means that constantly a million
and a half of American youth have the privi
lege of consulting and studying this great work
in the course of their education. Who can
estimate the power for intellectual stimula
tion and development whioh is thus actively
at work all the time ? The preeminence of
the American people for general accuracy
and facility in the use of the English Ian.
guage is not likely to be lost. Well and truly
has Noah Webster been called The Sohool
master of the Republic.
And Still They Come.
Carry the news to Benny Harrison. Since
his message to Congress, in which .he failed
to come out in favor of free raw material,
Mr. Bent, of Philadelphia, Pa., the president
of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, has
come out for unlimited free trade. Here is
what he said a few days ago: "Give me free
ore and I'll sell pig-iron in Liverpool and
ondsteel rails to London. What American
industries most want is free opportuuity and
not legislative protection or restriction. Our
company pays $750,000 per year tariff tax,
which must either oome from the jwages of
American workiagmen or from the profits of
the American manufacturer." Such utter
ances as these from Pennsylvania Republi
can manufacturers is going to raise h 1 on
the Wabash. Stand from under.

when they come to this country in the
wintertime.
Washington State has a promising future

she will be shipping goods East instead of
receiving tnem from there, as she is at pres

This is a good place for men with some
means and energy; good place for carpenters
and plasterers, and for persons that have a
trade of some kind, but it is a poor place for
three classes of people those who have the
rheumatism I would advise not to come out
to wis country for if yon do you will be sure
to get it worse, and the other two classes
those without means and without a trade, for
here it is "swim or drown," "fish or cut bait,"
work or starve.
Seattle is fast building np again. To the
present observer it looks as though the fire
was a blessing. The business part of the
city, whioh was old hacks or buildings, are
being rebuilt with brick, and the streets that
ran in a haphazard war ara now beintr
BtntiKiiKuitHI.
Seattle is possessing the sanguine expecta
tion of her rapid building. Yon can judge
by the amount of money that has been ex
pended. There haa been paid out over five
millions of dollars since the 6th of last June.
It would have far exceeded that if they could
have procured material to do with, hnt that
i i j m
was defloient.
A company has been incorporated to build
a temple to Thespus, which is to cost $250,000,

The Opossum Farm.
The Findlay correspondent of the Toledo
Commercial a few days ago forwarded to that
paper an account of .Isaao Davis' 'possum
farm in Marion township. It is generally
known says the Findlay Courier, that Col.
Davis has about one hundred acres of timber
inclosed in wire netting, and is devoting his
time largely to the raising of opossums for
the market. The animals breed fast, and
although the business has been nnder way
bnt a short time, Col. Davis has already a
number of the animals ready for the mar
ket.
Yesterday the first order from abroad was
received, as follows:
