WHY do not the teachers of the
county interest themselves in this
column? Have the questions pro-
posed been too simple-not COM
plex enough to solicit your atten-
tion? Ifso, we are pleased to favor
you with few a little more difficult,
hoping that the teachers will not fail
to respond to this second invitation.
We trust that no one will have a
timidity in asking any question. We
are anxiously awaitingto hear from
you. Teachers speak of difficult ex-
aminations. Why do they not pre-
pare for these tests. The trouble is
not that the examinations are hard,
but that too many of the applicants
are unprepared-not well enough &C
quainted with the subjects upon
which they are to be. examined. If
this be true, why not work for your
interests. All the questions that
we shall propose under the subjects
of Arithmetic, can be solved Arith-
meticaliy. We wait the proof.

Death Of George Peabody.

A philanthropist, says the Colum-
bus Journal, greater than John How
ard, has passed away. A man
whose practical benevolence finds
no parallel in ancient or modern
times has ceased to live. 1t is but
a few years since George Peabody
became known to the public through
his munificeEt gifts. Now, his
name is as familiar in both hemi-
spheres, as household work. His
gifts to the poor of London and for
the education of the poor of the
Southern States, amounting to more
than two millions and a half, pro-
duced a feeling of general astonish-
ment throughout the world by rea-
son of their unexampled magnitude.
In an age which has produced
many remarkable men, this remark
able man will be longer remembered
than any hero, state sman, poet or
philanthropist of his time. To
Peabody, Immortality is assured,
and by him Immortality, is richly
deserved.

FROM OUR EXCHANGES.

On Tuesday evening last, Mr.
Todd, while driving his team along
Main Street, had the misfortune to
drive it into a side sewer running
from Mr.. Aumiller's cellar into the
Main Sewer. One horse fell on top
of the other from height of 10 or
twelve feet, and it was feared that
neither would be recovered alive
Considerable excitement was created
and hundreds of people repaired to
the scene. After considerable time
expended in fruitless efforts, both
horses were at last extricated from
their perilous situation, and are on
their feet again, apparently more
frightened than hurt.-BucyrWs 70

~ Since the Administration of
General Grant went into power, says
the Cincinnati Commercial, the pub
lie debt has steadily diminished, at
the average rate Of about eight mil
lions of dollars a month. Should
this average be maintained till the
first of March next, the debt will be
less by ninety-six millions Of dollars
than it was when General Grant was
sworn into Office. 1t is the ambition
of Secretary Boutwell, to exceed that
amount, and to make the reduction
round one hundred millions at the
expiration of the first year Of his
term as Secretary of the Treasury.
He believes that in the demonstrated
abilityto pay lies the hope ofnegotia-
ting such loan as will enable him to
reduce the rate of interest on out
standing obligations from six and a
half per cent, to four and half
This accomplished, without any ad-
dition TO the present volume Of cur
rency, it will be possible to tighten
the burdens of Taxation, provide rev.
enue to meet constantly accruing ex-
penses. leave large surplus to ap-
ply to the debt, and open a direct
way to the resumption of specie pay
ments. The scheme looks feasible,
and the desired result will follow as
surely as effect follows cause.

Death of RearAdmiraI Stewart.
Our dispatches this morning an
nounce the death of, on Saturday,
at Bordentown, N. j., Of Rear
Admiral CHARLES STEWART. II
Born in Philadelphia, July 2s,
ITS, he entered the navy in his
twentieth year, performing his first
service in the frigate United States,
under that famous seaman, Commo-
dore John Barry. In this frigate
he remained until 1900, engaged for
the most part in cruising in West
Indian waters against French priva-
teers. In July Of that year he was
transferred to the command of the
schooner Experiment, and on the
first of the following September he
captured, after an action of ten
minutes, the French schooner Deux
Amis, and soon after another French
schooner, the Diana. In addition
to these two valuable prizes, he also
re- captured number OF American
vessels that had been taken by the
French. In 1904, the intervening
years having been spent, if in peace:
at least not in ''inglorious ease," he
bore an active and honorable part
in the siege of Tripoli, rendering
Commodore Decatur stout and val.
liant service in the destruction oi
the frigate Philadelphia.
The war Of 1912 found Captain
Stewart in the very prime and glory
of manhood, full of boldness and
dash. The resolution of the Gov
eminent to withdraw the American
ships-of- from the ocean and de
vote them to harbor defense, upon
the ground that they would be soon
captured by the overwhelming naval
force of England, he, in connection
with William Bainbridge, combated
with such earnestness aud persist.
ence that it was at length giver
over. In those most memorable
naval engagements that followed
those engagement which more than
rendered all the follies that were
committed, and adverses that were
met with on land, Captain Stewart
bore his part, making his frigate
the Constitution, terror to the
British mariners. So valiant, in
deed, was his conduct that civic
honors were bestowed on him by
New York and Philadelphia Con.
gress voted him gold medal and
resolutions of thanks, and Pennsyl-
vania, what doubtless the fighting
Captain more esteemed, sword.
From 1916 to 1920 he command
ed a squadron in the Mediterranean
From 1921 to 1928 he did service in
the Pacific. From 1880 to 1888 he
acted as member of the Board ot
Navy Commissioners, and was also
in command of the home squadron
Since that time his duties have beer
chiefly of the nature of organization
He was placed on the retired list il
1857.

The Elections in Other States.

Unlike tue great October elec
tions in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Iowa, the November elections, both
East and West, last Tuesday, were
comparatively destitute of national
political significance. Party tickets
were, indeed, everywhere put in
nomination, al d party lines were
drawn; but these last were so
crossed and recrossed, SO turned,
twisted and effaced, by local move
ments and issues, that it would be
folly to pretend to read any new
national lesson from them. 1t has
been, in word, the "off-year" in
politics of this fact the people in
all the States thst voted on Tuesday
seem to have been mindful, and to
have governed accordingly. The
vote was light in all quarters.
Massachusetts, elected, of course,
Republican Governor and State
ticket, and a strongly Republican
Senate and House. The liquor and
labor questions, however, reduced
the usual majorities. The House is
said to stand IS for prohibition to
1913 for license. Chamberlain, the
workingmen's, or labor candidate,
developed the somewhat unexpected
strength of $4,000, which, on so
small a poll, shows that there is
some fire in the labor movement, if
properly famed and cared for.
Minnesota follows next in order
III the Republican column, electing
the Governor and the whole State
ticket by good majorities. Here,
also, there was a "Temperance
ticket" chiefly Republican in COM
position. and somewhat sapping Re-
publican strength. 1t was headed
by Rev. Daniel Cobb, for Governor,
and does not seem to have polled a
heavy vote.
Wisconsin reelected Governor
Fairchild, a full Republican State
ticket, and a Republican Legisla-
ture, by a very handsome vote. Re-
turns indicate an increased Repub
lican majority over the Gubernato-
rial election in 1857, when it was
something less than 5000.
Illinois does well in carrying the
| Constitutional Convention by large
majority for the Republicans, who
seem to have elected nearly two
thirds of their men. The Citizens
ticket made clean sweep, however,
inethe municipal election in Chicago.
New-Jersey voted very quietly
for, its Legislature, and secures, as
was anticipated, Democratic ma
jority in both branches. The vo-
ting here was pretty much as last
year, without great deal of gain
for anybody to boast of, and COM
paratively light vote everywhere.
Maryland has gone for the De-
mocracy, high and'dry. According
to appearances, the Democrats car
ried not only their entire State
ticket, but every ward in Baltimore,
every precint in every ward, every
city, every county, every Senator
ard every member of the House.
! The vote was very light indeed

s"THE TIMES ARE SUCH"

ED. REPUBLICAN: Ever since the
Democratic rebellion, for the perpet-
uation Of slavery, opened its fiery
mouth, and spit its iron hail into the
faces of the true men of the North,
there has annually appeared in the
Democratic Union, of this place,
over the name of the Treasurer of
Wyandot county, in connection with
the Tax Notice, the following causes
why the penalty must be added, if
the taxes are not paid by a certain
date, viz:
"THE TIMES ARE SUCH THAT
THE TREASURER WILL BE
COMPELLED TO ADD THE
PER CENTAGE REQUIRED BY
LAW ~
Now, is not that a nice way to
make the people pay for political ad
vertising? "The times are such"'
What has the Treasurer to do with
the "TIMEs," or the "times" with
him in collecting taxes The s'times"
has nothing to do with the matter,
at all but if the Treasurer can only
add the penalty" and then make
the taxpayer believe that the terri
BILE Republicans have made such
terrible "times," that he is compell-
ed, on account of the "TIMEs," to
add the penalty" then he and his
party think "all is well'' with that
subject, sure! Penalties" have
always been added for default in
payment of taxes, let the s'times"
be 'ssUCH'' or not sUCH!" Isn't that
a nice way to electioneer at the ex-
pense of the whole people?
But Immediately following this
"baby talk" as it really is, another
reason is given by the Treasurer for
advertising the penalty - and a
sensible one, too, viz:
"In view, then, of the sTR1NGENcY
OF THE LAW, there is no ALTERNA-
TIVE but for the Treasurer to com
ply strictly with its letter and spirit
&c. O. yes! The "LAw' compels
the addition of the penalty" so
says the Treasurer!
If so, then, why say "THE TIMES
ARE SUcH'' that the "penalty' must
be added? Do "times'' and claw"
mean the same thing? If s., all
right-if not SO, what demagoguery
to say that "the times are such'' that
the penalty must be added! But,
may be, the "times" may be out Of
joint, and this is the best way to
notify ''tax-payers" Of the fact.
We do not speak of this because
our present Treasurer suffers it to
so appear, but because it has so ap
peared ever since the rebellion be-
gan, and it looks ridiculous! Our
present Treasurer has kindly and
attentively discharged his duty, and
our best wishes 90 with him to our
sister city Of Nevada.

EE How long, says the Cincin
natl Commercial, will it take the
Democracy to discover that the
prejudice against negro suffrage has
comparatively died out? Two
years ago, negro suffrage was voted
down in Ohio by a majority of
more than fifty thousand. But two
years make an important difference,
when the progress of ideas makes
such radical changes as in the same
time the world never Witnessed
This year the proposition, in an
other shape, to make suffrage uni
versal, carries the popular majority
with it. Men have got the better of
their force, and understand that po-
litical equality no more implies So
cial equality than does equality be-
fore the law; and so down goes an
other prejudice on which Democra-
cy has along time speculated. In
fact, the gigantic proportions which
the african assumed in our politics
have dwindled down, till the negro
has become the more and no less
than another man, to be equally pro-
tected in his rights and left to his
own energy and ambition to make
himself a success or failure. The
moment he is interested with the
ballot, that moment he will cease to
be of an strange consequence in pol
itics. If the Democrats were
shrewd, they would cease fruit
less opposition, ratify the Fifteenth
Amendment, and so disencumbel
themselves as to be able to, attack
the financial and tariff position oil
the enemy, with some show of rout
ing him.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Next Thursday is the day desig-
mated by the President ofthe United
States, and the Governor of Ohio,
to be observed as day of Thanks
giving and praise to God. No peo-
pie ever had more cause for graft
tude for the unbounded blessings
enjoyed during the year which is
drawing to a close, and it is emf
nently proper that we. should all
unite and observe this national day
in an appropriate manner.
We understand that Union Servi-
ces will be held in the U. B. Church,
at II o'clock, A. NJ, and that the
sermon will be delivered by Rev.
