A Good Point.

The Ohio Democrat makes the following
admirable point ~.
The Governor thinks the State,cannot, for
the present rompensations, secure the ser-
vices, Of the best men for positions. That
may bel but we doubt it. 1t used to secure
the service of the very best of men, in tho
good old Democratic times, when Cows
Shannon, Wood and Mcdill, were willing
to serve the State for 81 900 to $f,5O0 per
year, in good old Democratic currency. Ii
the republican party--which certainly is a
power in this country, that has been steadi-
y increasisg for ten years past, until it
oyershaddows nearly every State--are not
satisfied to take their own currency, dollar
for dollar, as pay for their salaries, they had
better hand the offices over to the Demo-
Gratis who were willing to have taken them,
and filed them with men equal, il not s,i.

present salaries But, at any rate, we a ,ubt

The Announcement of Peace.

Years ago, says Boston paper, the office
of the old Gazette was in Hanover square,
near the corner of Pearl street, 1t was a
place of resort for news and conversation
especially in the evening. The evening of
February Is, 1915, was cold, and at late
hour only Alderman Sehra and another gen.
temen were left with father Lang, the &C.
MUS of the place. The Office was about be-
ing closed, when pilot rushed in, and stood
for moment so entirely exhausted as to be
unable to speak.
"Ie has great news" exclaimed Mr..
Lang.
Presently the pilot, Gaping for breath,
whispered intelligibly Peace!"
The gentlemen lost their breath as fast as
the pilot gained his. Directly the pilot was
able to say
IAN English sloop is below, with news of
treaty Of peacel"
They say that Mr.. Lang exclaimed in
greater words than he ever used before
and all hands rushed in Hanover square ex-
claiming-"Pcace! Peace!''

National Debts and 0. s.. Stocks.


e-crea,ion Of national debts is not a
modern improvement, but The ability of
great nation TO provide for a great debt. and
TO make it the most convenient and best
form OF personal property. is a modern
wonder. The debt of Great Britain was be
gun by raising million sterling by loan in
1892, and when her great contest with
Louis XIV. was terminated, the debt had
reached fifty millions Many statesmen
and economists were then alarmed al the
great burden which had been imposed ur>
on the country, but when the war of The
AusIrsu succession bad sweIled this
amount to eighty millions, MacauIay says
that historians and o:ilors pronounced the
The case 10 be desperate. But when war
again broke cut, and the national debt was
rapidly carried up 20 one hundred and for
ty millions, men Of theory aud business
both pronounced that the fatal dag had
certainly arrived. David Hume said that,
although, by taxing its energies TO the u,-
most, The country might possibly live,
the experiment must never be e2ealsd -
even small increase might be fatal
Granville said the nation must sink under il
unless some portion OF the load was borne by
the American Colonies, and the attempt 10
impose This load produced The war OF the
revolution, aud, instead of diminishing, add.
ed another hundred millions TO the burden.
Again, says Macaulay, was England given
over, but again she was more prospe
than ever before. But when al the close OF
her Napo.eonic wars in 1916 this debt had
heen swelled up 10 the enormous sum OF
over eight hundred million sterling or four
thousand three hundred million dollars, or
nearly one half of The Uhited Kingdom, the
sloutesl heart, The frmest believer in the
national progress and national development,
might well have been appalled,. But in the
very face of This mountain of obIigation,-'
10 say nothing of her vast colonial possess
sions,-the properly OF the British nation
has been more than trebIed, and her deb, is

TWO soldiers, leaning against the car door,

look in upon comfortable and loyal Messrs.
Greeley and Colfax playing cards. The
vile of member OF Congress from the West
also took sick on the road. Application was
made TO Messrs. Greeley and Colfax for her
admission into their car, and it was refused.
At New York she was carried from the cars
to The ferry boat-being unable to walk
The conduct of these two men was a sub

the soldiers, what business Greeley and
