A Little Plain Talk!

: Tho LorwaM Experiment indulges in
the following plain talk
If tho Radical papers that donouce
the Ohio Legislature for obliging all
parties to PRINT election ticlSots on plain
white paper were dispisod to be fair IN
their criticisms, they would tell their
readers that tho effect OF such law
would be TO stop the pracTIce Of fraud
aud force by either party, and give
perfect freedom to the voter TO deposit
his ballot Without hope of reward or
fear of punishment. This is just rs 1t
should be, and no man, unless he socks
to commit some outrage on the rights
of freemen, would desire 1T otherwise.
This will enable poor men in the en-
ploy of Radicals 10 vote as they see
proper, with no fear OF being thrown
out OF employment for so doing. 1t
will apply with equal force to man in
the employ Of Democrat.
The reason why Radical editors are
so bitter against this action ofthe Leg
slature, is because they see no hopo of
the success Of the bondholders' ticket
except by the appliance Of the party
lash 10 poor mon whose interest lies
with greenbacis and Pondloton. Tho
aboring mon Of the country are get
ting tired of supporting bondholders
and negroes in idleness, while they are
Obliged to sweat and toll to keep them
selves from starvation. We tell the
aristocratic bondholder that God viii
not long suffer the manned soldier, the
widows and orphans of the fatisn brave
to be outraged by such unjust taxation
upon labor. Justice will be heard
though she looks upto heaven will
eyes flooded with tears. A retrbutlol
most terrible awaits the merclless mon
ey lords who oppress and rob labor o
it's hard earnings.

The Two Villages.

OVER the river, on the hill,
Lieth a village white and stlli
All'around II the forest trees
Shiver and whisper in the breeze
Over it sailing shadows go
or soaring hawk and screaming crow,
And mountain grasses, low and sweet,
Grow in the. middle Of fevery street.
Over the river, under the hill,
Another village lieth still
There see in tho cloudy night
Twiukling stars of household light,
Fires that CLEAN from the Smithy's door
Mlsts that curl on the river shorej
And in the road no grasses grow,
For the wheels that hasten TO and fro.
In that village on the Hill
Never is sound of smithy or mill sH.st
The houses are matched with grass and flowers
Never clock to tell the hours
The marble doors Ne alwa-s shut,
All the villagers lis-asleepi
Never again to SOW or reapi
Never in dreams TO moan or sigh,
Silent, and idle, and few they lie.
In that village, underline hill,
When the night is starry and still,
Many a weary soul in prayer
Looks TO the other village there.
And weeping and signing, longs to go,
Up to that home from this below
Longs TO sleep in the forest wild,
WHITTIER have vanished wife and child
And hearing, praying, this answer falli

The Greenback Question In
PennsyIVania and New York.

The Pittspurg Post of Tuesday,
makes the following important state

awe are informed by Democratic
Senator Of this State that during the
session cacous was held Of the Dam
oeratic Senators, and 1t turned out
rather unexpectedly that there was
but one dissenting vote tho greenback
doctrine, and that senator was n bond
holder. There can DO no doubt where
the people are on this question, East
and West, and politicians must learn
to respect them or taKe back seat"
The New York Herald, IN an article
on the greonback question, says:
"One of the signs to which we refer
was shown IN the State Assembly last

spanish Pauper,s Funerai

A Spain correspondent writos the
following account ofa paupers funeral
in that country:
"We were warned of its approach
by the sound ofloud talking and laugh
ter, and, on lookingout, saw wretched
coffin borne by four men smoking
cigarettes, followed by a few lockers
on, all appearing equally unconcorned
and preceded by two or three mon, who
were, / suppose, tho mourners, bearing
lighted candies in their hands. There
was no priest, no pail, no somblanee Of
deeency, and by and by our disgust
was increased to its last pinch by the
bearers setting the coffin on the bank,
and leaning on it TO rest th emselves.
There Is no sort Of respect for death
in Spain. The body Of the pauper is
carried to the cemotery in. a coffin that
belongs to the parish, and 10 thrust,
sometimes almost naked, into holo.
The priests do not perform bnrinl SER
vice except for those who can afford 20
pay for it; they read q short service
over tho body IN the chur ch; and,
when once that ceremony is over, there
IS no moro regard shown for the dead
than for the slaughtered horse at Il
bull fight"

Whoever else may grumble about the
heavy expenditures Of the Federal Gov
ernment, Californians should keep still.
Their mouths ought to be closed. Con-
gress gives ten dollars to California for
every one that it takes. 1t has given
about 60,00O,000 acres of land to the
Pacific Railroad, loaned s6O,OOO,OOO
for thirty years to the Middle Pacific
Road, offered 100, 900, 900 acres of land
on this coast as free gift to homestead
settlers, established steamer lines to China
and Honolulu, and given the mines to
the people in possession of them. Is it
not rather steep in the recipients of all
these favors to howl about the extrava
gance of Congress and about the evils of
Radical rule ?
