"THE BAY"-Is the the title of recent ad-
dition to the list of newspapers published in
Philadelphia Il is issued BY Alex. Cummings,
who, more than any other man in America, ex.
ceptiug, perhaps, Mrs. DR.. Mary Walker, merits
the title Of the "Gseat American Pap Seeker"
The indomitable perseverance which this man
has displayed in the face of apparently the most
insurmountable obstacles, in his untirlng hunt
for Office, leads us 20 infer that the undertaking
will be earnestly if not successfully, prosecuted.
It claims to be independent, and to have Tor its
paramount object q practical reunion Of the
Republican or Democratic parties, by Congress
or the Executive, 50 that 1t be effected. It
nrates, in its Introductory, Of the inviolability
Of the public faith, and knows not single indi-
vidual who does not desire rigid fal6llment Of
the governments obligations to its creditors.
The writer Of that assertion must either have Z
very limited circle Of acquaintance or else be is
purposely blind, to a steady growing sentiment
ed in all parts of the country, and which can
only be suppressed by the adoption Of the Ma
tsonal Labor Platform a. the governmental poll
~, for paper money system is sure to be ours,
sooner or later, though it may or may not be
preceded by reputation, as the boudholders
shall delegate for, If reputation comes at all,
it will come As . logical sequence to their vora-
cious exactions. The people do not desire re-
pudiatiou, though they may be goaded to it
" The Day, We have made up our mind, is to
be another wOrshipper at the shrine Of nam
mon, another fawning, cringing sycophant at
the feet Of the bondholder, another believer in
q state Of things from which will accrue " the
greatest good to the greatest number"-of gov
eminent leeches and paupers on the nations in
dustry. Tia independence, like that Of it's ven
cradle and eminently old togyish competition, the
Ledger" will be displayed from the fence. In
short, it bids fair to assume rank as a most dan
gerous misrepresenter anG eqnivocator, paper
Of that stripe whose sublety and cunning the
honest man has reason to loath, fear and des-
pise.

A LABOR UMoN.-A labor union, to be com

These are the examples Of extravaganza which
are cited as guarantee for diminution of the
miserable portion Of labor's earnings which
IL ID awarded for its use. Show us working
man who, having dollar, with no need Of two,
and We will point you to thousand who, with
out dollar. have need Of fifty. There is no
working man, no matter what proportion his
days hire may bear TO the wages paid others,
or to those he received prior to the war, who
receives now more than an honest equivalent
fos his labor, pro vided, Of course, his labor is
honest ALI this hue and cry about the extrava-
gance OF workingmen is unauthorized humbug,
and none know it better than those who make
use Of and profit by it. Keeping family upon
two dollars day is something, just appre-
citation Of the difficulties Of which, comes only
from actual trial, although q man who has pro-
vided for the ever multiplying needs Of home,
under any circumstances, cannot but have Q
partial conception Of them. But employers say
that provision for other than actual physical
needs, BY workingman is extravagance-
bread sufficient is all sufficient. We were al
ways insane enough to believe that all mems
needs and rights were alike, and that the rlosi
useful In community we're the best entitled to
provision for their needs and recognition oil
their rights in fact, we have always thought
that repu blican form of government was es-
Pecially designed to prevent the establishment
OF invidious distinctions in the rights Of it's peo-
pie, On acc CUNT Of wealth or condition. Our
government was certainly instituted to narrow
the gulf which separated wealth from poverty,
when ito territory was tributary to o mouarchy,
else bis tory lies. Yet we find in practice, il has
widened rather than diminished it We, the
poorer people, are more GENEROUSLY taxed to sup
port an untitled aristocracy than were our fore
fathers to maintain titled one, while we lack
the pluck they displayed, in 80 unceremoniously

We are remarkable only for, perhaps, an infe.

Chinaman "a q labo'er, q profitable 'invest

poor and otherwise powerless, for We permit in
the administration Of our governmental laws an
unfair discrimination, which renders the poor
mans all . mere tributary to the rich mans
Golfers. Il 10 tims-hieh time-that we cast
or the servile sack and assume the garb Of men,
al most BELTS our mien. Il 10 true that We should
assert the dignity Of labor, in such manner as
to admit of no contradiction, by concentrating
our power, that We may assume among men that
ranking station which lie the God born heritage
Of industry only.

dwelt on the necessity, objects and results Of
trades unions; Mr.. Alex. McDopald, who refer
red to the all-engrossing question of cheap vs..
Chinese labor; Mr.. LAvine, vice president of

The ELKcTIoN.-Last Tuesday the voters of
Chicago decided, BY an overwhelming majority,
that the regime which has SO long swayed her
political destinies, shonld be broken up. Near
ly thirty thousand votes were cast, two-thirds
of which we're cast for the citizens ticket. The
clique who attempted to commit the barefaced
fraud upon the working men Of this city, allu-
ded to in our last, made such q signal failure,
that similar effort will not be made Tor some
time. Whenever bona hde LABo ticket 10
placed in the field, we shall support it, by pen,
voice and vote; whenever o few schemers use
the name for dishonorable purposes, We shall
not fail to denOunce the attempt
The blackguardism INDUCED in by one or
two Of the daily journals, injured no party but
the one INDUCING in it. The candidates thus
attacked were triumphantly elected, and can
look with contempt npon the puny attempts Of
their traducers.

CHEEK. Under this expressive
head, the Bueyrus Journal attempts
to give a definition of the word
cheek-and hints considerably at the
Board of Directors of the T. 7. & F.
R. r. as possessing it. The Journal
is wrong. The best exempli6cation
of cheek We ever knew of, was for the
Bucyrus people to join with those of
Tifin to survey the proposed Rail-
road route, and then, after the route
had been partially surveyed, to get
dissatisfied with the Engineer, throw
up the whole matter and refuse to
pay their full share of the expense
Incurred. How is that for cheek? But
cheek goes further-after we had got
our railroad project pretty we'll work.
ed up, the Bucyrus folks wanted us
to abandon part of our line and
again strike hands with them and
all the time they ignored the balance
Of that little bill for surveying.
Quite cheeky.

residence is in Eden, but where his
"Rural Retreat is, remains a mys-
terry. 1t may be in the corner of our
township known as "Dixie,' or it
may be at or near the place where
the ''K. G. C's" held forth during the
war. am almost positive it is not
on the contemplated r. R. route,
from Toledo to Mansfield, as an en-
gineer, with squad of men, recently
passed over the route, and when
questioned on the subject answered
that they saw nothing strange unless
they mistook wooden church down
near New Washington for it.
l ask you TO make the correction,
as the anxious Pilgrims would
"bother" our friend Nc, whose resi-
dence is near the spot pointed out by
you in your article. As Me. is none

He united with the Presbyterian church

In his afliction he was humble, patient and

By the way, what's the matter
with the Advertiser?
The Democracy seem to be terri
bly, alarmed, and if half we hear be
true, brothers Landon, Lang and
Milhime will not have the pleasure
of showing their handsome faces in
the Court House, the next two years.
Lang has had a good share of the
spoils heretofore. but It's too bad to
have all the vim and labor of Lam
don and Milhime go for nought.
We understand Milhime has al
ready entered proposals to rent
+" "Sheriff" Adams house, and that
Landon is not so much in love with
the erich Irish brogue" as he was.
We would suggest to the Adver-
tiser that the less he has to say on
the Know. Nothing question the bet
ter. A party that has three old
Know-Nothings on the State Ticket
and one now warming an officers
seat in the Court House, and two on
the County Ticket that I" S aw Sam"
ought to be a little careful how
they call names.
The dwelling house of Mr.. John
Longley, three miles north of this

A little son of Peter Linden had
the ends oftwO of his fingers smash
ed by a straw cutter at MAYORS
Hardware Store, on Wednesday,
He, with some other boys, was play
ing with the machine, and his fingers
got caught in the cogs. Boys have
been in the habit of meddling with
the machinery at that store, and to
prevent accidents the machines were
wired. This cutter was wired, but
the boys broke the wire and hence
the accident.
