TIE Democratic Enquirer
publishes a speech of George
W. Morgan in which he at.
tempts to appropriate for the
Democracy the honor of found
ing Cornell University, New
York, from the land grants
made by Congress to the States
for the purpose of establishing
Agricultural Colleges, giving
to Horatio Seymour all the
honor. The fact is that the
proposition made by Ezra Cor.
nell in reference to this fund
was acted upon in 1857, when
the Republicans were in pow
er. All the State officers were
Republicans, and there was a
majority of fifty~eight on joint
ballot. 'et-
But what is the reason Ohio
has no Agricultural Colleges
There are $4,000 in the State
Treasury for that purpose, pro.
vided by q Republican Con.
gress and the Republican Leg
islature of 1856. Why didn',
the Democracy establish the
College, They had the money
already provided, and they
banqueted around two years
pretending to hunt a goot
site, but really 10 eat big din
ners provided by competing
cities, and draw .heir per- diem
OF five dollars each day. Why
didn't they establish the Col
lege? Was it because the,
want the money to meet th'
expenses Of their extravagan
legislations Watch these Dem
ocrats or they will steal th'
Agricultural College Fund yet

The editor of the Enquirer
pretends to be in favor of
"equal taxation" The road
tax, levied by Democratic
Legislature, is an "equal tax" it
falls on the rich and poor alike.
-Iftbe editor of the Enquirer is
in favor of "equal taxation,"
why don't he pay his road tax.
Some OF the poor men Of the
county who paid their tax
would like to know. If he
hasn't the money he can work
it out. ,TrOt up, and pay your
Democratic taxes.

CHARLES w. HOLLAND.

CHARLES w. HOLLAND.
We have to. repeat now
what we said at the commence
ment of the campaign. No
true friend of Watt Holland
can vote for him for the office
of Clerk of the Court without
regretting it to the last day of
their lives. He is nothing but
"a boy, with no experience of
the world and its ways, ready
to take up the vices and errors
of his associates. He is of a
disposition that is bound to be
the "biggest toad in the pud
lle," and if his friends thrust
him into the Court House pud.
die Of politicians he will come
out covered with mire.
He threw up a good Situa-
ton, where the influences were
good, to enter this campaign,
setting up" the convention
with the aid of some of the
most unscrupulous workers in
the ranks of the Democracy,
This, at twenty>one years Of
age, shows an inoldinate thirst
for Office which his friends
should nip in the bud. If he is
elected to Office now he will
want an Office as long as he
lives, and be worthless for any
other purpose. Let him wait
until his character is formed,
and he is able to resist the
vices to which he will be ex>
posed. a .as. '.-.
We do not say one word un-
kindly of Watt. He is, perhaps,
no more likely to be led astray
than other boys of his age; but
we do. say that no boy of his
age is fit to occupy the pofition
he seeks, and can not occupy
it without working injury to
themselves. Let his friends
ponder we'll what we have said
His opponent, Mr.. John B
Roger, is a gentleman, well
known to our people, fitted by
age, experience, and business
qualities to ill the off ice, tt
which he was nominated by
the people without his solici'
tation.

GOLD AND GREENBACKs.

The decision rendered by Chief ustice
Chase in regard to gold contracts and
currency contracts is one of Importance
to all business men, and will create quite
a sensation in financial circles. We
confess an inability to reconcile the APP
parently antagonistic points in the de-
cision. unless accepting it entire as
virtual decision against the constitu-
tionality of the Legal Tender Act That
act specifies certain exceptional dues
for which gold is payable; tor all 9th
ers the Legal Tenders are receivable.
This has been frequently tested and de-
cided invariably adverse to the present
decision. While gold contracts have
been continually made aud fulfilled, il
was upon the basis of honor alone that
these special obligations were redeemed.
The law knowing only the Legal Tender
dollar in financial transactions, IL did
not approve. but merely tolerated those
special gold contracts" Under Chief
Justice ChAse's decision they have the
sanction of law. IL is nothing more
than equity, the war necessity that sug~
gested and enacted the Legal Tender
act having passed away. but the stat
ute remains the same. To provide an
contract bill was prepared, and has the
sanction of almost the entire press of
the country, but under the Supreme
Court decision it would appear TO be
now unnecessary To this object. Men
doing business with foreign Govern>
ments were compelled to resort to these
outlawed special contracts the cus>
toms and established usages of the Pa
cific coast demanded recognition of their
transactions by law, and the entire bu-
siness community of the country was
deeply interested in securing safe and
steady basis of business which could
not be secured under the eccentric and
often ruinous fluctuations of green-
backs. We believe the decision will
be regarded with favor, but hope that
Sherman's bill will pass, as. aside from
this point. IL contains other provisions
tending to commercial prosperity, and
an early, easy return To specie resump>
ton.

THE ISTHrIUs CANAL.

The obstacles 10 commerce are being
conquered fast and sure in these latter
days. Il was esteemed wonder when
, Diaz doubled the Cape of Good Hope in
1886, and De CANA followed with his
T heet TO eastern seas in 149S. When
the Dutch ships safely passed Cape
Horn in 1916, the circuit of the world
was completed and daring navigators
may have sighed that there were no
more such problems to solve. But
though this served for time the neces-
stiles OF commerce. il has proven inade-
quate in these later years, and ship
owners and shippers are no longer con-
tent to have their fleets and cargoes 60
cut like those of Solomon, on three
year voyages through tropics and ice
bergs TO reach their destination. For
tunately a break in the Continents.
nearly on the zodiac of great empires,
leaves il within the power of man to
conquer intervening difficulties and
send his argosies about the earth's mid
die. The Suez Canal, seventy-five
miles long. now almost complete, cons
meets the Red and Mediterranean Seas
and makes a new route for the largest
ships that float, saving the long voyage
around Africa, and now American capi-
talists are about TO cut the ligament
that has bound North and South Amer
lea together like the Siamese twins, and
by a canal a few leagues in length, in q
tropical cline, float navies from the At
lantic 10 the Pacific oceans, and avoid
the long and dangerous voyage around
Cape Horn. To obtain FROM Colon bia
the grant of this Canal was Caleb Cush~
ing's mysterious mission, and all the
world will be gratified at kis success.
The corporators are prominent capital
lists and there is no question of their
ability to carry out the project, even
though it may not have Government
subsidy. Over three hundred years ago
the idea was suggested and the
route explored for Ship Canal between
the Chagres and Grande rivers, but ope-
rations suppressed by order of Philip III
who for political reasons. made any fur
ther movements toward this object pun,
ishable with death. In 1926. another
exploration was made between Panama
/ and Portobello. In 1S43 the French gov-
ernment made examination of the route.
and the report was favorable. Since
that there has been no question of the
feasibility of canal across the isthmus,

Gushing, we do not know, but that it

no doubt. IL win be another grand

IN THE RIGHT DIHECTIOS.

While il may not be the part OF wis
dom to approve, or of gallantry to con-
denim, the efforts of certain women to
secure political privileges equal to those
of her masculine tyrant, there is yet in
their every Speech, Assembly, Sorosis
and Lecture one feature. made more or
less prominent, that demands approval.
This is the asserted principle that q
woman performing the same labor and
equally as well as a man, she should re-
ceive the same compensation. One of
the Chicago Sorosis Clubs hold this as a
cardinal object, and is earnestly striving
to attain work for the women, and pay
for the work. Ii may be asserted fully
within bounds of fact, that women in
the Eastern States do not receive over
two-thirds the compensation for the
same labor that is paid to men, and in
many industrial and commercial avoca-
tions which they are by nature better
qualified for than their masculine rivals.
While strong healthy awkward men,
endowed with strength and endurance

ing out tape and trinkets sufficient to
sport fast horses on the Avenue, women

that svaricious exaction can obtain their
service for, or are driven to ply the
needle for beggarly pay, or seek the
ways of shame. Ii the opportunities
offered in America for young and vigor-
Gus men To attain fortune and position
in manly pursuits; if the vast prepon-
derance of unmarried women who are
compelled 20 earn their own livelihood,
the inducements and incentives are alike
inadequate TO inspire uen, Voluntarily
to make room for woman where she can
work, there is still one imperative duty
remaining-to pay the laborer her hire.
The matter has been brought before
Congress to pay female employees of the
Departments an equal compensation
with the males. There is but one objec-
tion that can be urged against il. Il
may be held that economy requires the
Government TO obtain service at the
lowest possible rates instead of increas~
ing them, yet it can scarce be conceived
a great government will place itself on
the record against a principle of right
that q few collars may be saved from
the c arnings of its female employees.
Should this succeed, individuals will, in
time, conform to the rule of the govern
ment, and an act of justice be done of
more importance 10 women than confer
ring on them political privileges or pro-
fessional diplomas
