Paying Usury to save a Cam
didatc.

The only claim offered in
eXtenuation Of the notorious
deficiencies Of Grants admins
tration is that he has reduced
the public debt ever so many
millions Of dollars, as is shown
by the fraudulent public debt
misstatements issued monthly
by Boutwell,, Secretary Of the
Treasury. Now these state.
ments are totally delusive, pur.
posely designed to deceive, and
receive no more credenCe in
well informed financial circles
than would the unsupported
assertions Of a hot.house dem
agogue. But even if these
statements were as true as they
are false, what would be the
resulting benefit to the people
at large Of this alleged reduc-
ton Of the public debt? Simply
nothing good. An ovcrtoxed
and sorely oppressed people
are being squeezed to death
to pay unauthorized debts be.
fore they are dne; or, in other
words, Boutwell, is making
capital for Grant by pressing
the lifeblood out Of industry
and business to pay bondhold,
ing idleness and eleminacy ex-
tortionate interest. This is the
only claim presented to justify
Grants candidature for a re-
election. 1t is, like all his claims
upon public endorsement, a
fraud and a swindle, and must
eventually prove one of the
most potent reasons why SO
narrow-minded and utterly
ridiculous demagoguery should
oe emphatically repudiated at
he polls.

The President,s Message.

We concluded not to burden
our columns with Mr.. Grants
Message. 1t is stupid reading
and poverystmcken, as the New
York Sun truly says--"the
weak effort of a weak man, and
will be acceptable only to the
bond-holder, the national bank
er, and New England manu-
facturer. And we might also
say that there is not only no
intelligence of the country's
actual condition in it, but it is
filled with lies-stupid and
mean lies, to boot. 1t pretends
that they are paying off the
debt, when everybody knows
that it will never be paid, or
never will be sought tc he paid.
1t pretends, also, toincreased
economy in public affairs, when
everybody knows that within
the past year somewhere from
one to five hundred millions of
the national property has been
squandered on railroad thieves
and robbers. But after all,
there is II redecming feature in
Grants ludicrous policy Of the
annexation Of Santo Domingo.
He thinks that if we annex the
one hundred and twenty thous-
and Mongrels-real blood and
bones mongrels-of that "Re-
public" they will be sure to re-
store American commerce, and
moreover, enable us to pay
the public debt, and finally,
Cuba will be forced to "abolish
slavery" in order to compete
with "free" labor, or in other
words, that the people Of Cuba
will be forced to abandon their
control over their negroes to
compete with the neggers and
Mongrels of San Domingo, that
never labor at all !

A. S. COMBS, Pres't.
Wifo Tra6iDm.

One Of our citizens was down
in Vinton county, recently, for
a short time, on business, where
he learned the particulars of u
little trade, as follows Two
men, one named II. and the
other B., lived neighbors to
each other, and were on quite
friendly terms-so friendly, in
deed, that the project Of ira,
ding wives was agitated.-
t, (who had three children,
while B. had none) wanted
q little "boot," and B., af-
ter some "chafIing," offered an
iron wedge, as being about the
difference between the two wo.
men. This was accepted, and
the trade consummated, the
wives apparently having no oh.
.jections-in fact, as a proof OF
affection, Tatman's wife gave
BIS wife a new dress.
When the consummation OF
the trade became known, the
people in the neighborhood
talked of doing a little mob
bing in the case, but B
sent word that if they annoyed
him he would blow some of
their heads off, stating that it
was a fair trade and all parties
were satisfied, and it was no
body else's business, etc., etc,
So B was let alone, and
still lives there. T man,
however, moved away. The
affair occurred about month
ago. [Chillicothe Register.
We are informed that the
trading parties are residents Of
jackson township. The moral
and sober editor of the Regis
ter is sadly needed in that wife,
trading community to deliver
lectures on female trades.

We present u fac smile of
the fowl which played such an
important part at the battle of
Lake Erie, in 1918, while Com
modre Perry's fleet was engag-
ed with the British fleet. Just
in the midst of a desperate
struggle-when each of the
commanding officers We're do
ing their utmost to conquer,
and while the shot and shell
were pouring down upon the
Commodore's vessels at a des-
perate rate, q ball from one of
the enemy's guns struck a coop,
in which was a fowl, Of which
the above is a true representa-
tion, tearing the coop to pieces,
and scattering it in every direc-
ton. Meanwhile the fowl escap-
ed unharmed. At this juno
ture, the tide Of battle seemed
to be against the Commodore;
his men began to despair of
victory, when, all at once, this
fowl sprang upon an elevated
position and crowed loudly
three times three. A dead sill.
ence pervaded the whole fleet.
Commodore Perry stood for a
moment meditating, and then
turning to his men said: "Men,
do you hear that-not conquer.
ed yet !" In an instant, as if
by magic, every man at his
post again. The battle was
resumed; the contest was severe,
but in a very short time the
enemy's guns were silenced,
and Commodore Perry and his
men were crowned with vic
tory, And the men who COM
posed that noble crew ever af.
terwards paid due reverence,
and, in fact, almost idolized
his fowlShip; and even at this
late period in our country's
history, thousands of our people
yet pay all due respect to his
noble qualities.

This advice from a prom
inent educator is worthy Of at
tention. "Our people are too
remiss in visiting the schools
This is not right. The teacher
is trusted with the education Of
our children-has the charge
and training Of them for the
best part Of the day, and it is
but right that the parent
shows an interest in the pro.
gress Of the child by occasion,
ally visiting the school room.---
This thing, due both to the
teacher and pupil. 1t encour
ages them in their tasks, and
has a good influence upon the
schools generally. Remember
this, and pay more attention to
visiting the place where your
children are being educated"

rangement. And unless l am
very much mistaken you will
find that just as soon as we can
get ready, and break dirt for
building our road that other
roads will seek connection with
the Chesapeake and Ohio, road
at this point over our road, and
as soon as it is known that the
building of our road is a fixed
fact, I have but little doubt
but the New Lisbon and Cali

soon put through to this point,
and very probably continued

burg, KY.
Think for q moment what
advantages our citizens would
be at this moment, deriving
from the coal trade alone, if
we had our road in operation
to the coal beds Of Raccoon,-
Every bushel Of coal that the
road could carry, if worked to
its utmost capacity night and
day, would find q profitable
market along the river, for
while there has been plenty of
water from this point down,
throughout the fall for moder.
ate sized coal barges, there has
not been water enough above
to keep the markets below well
supplied with coal, and, as a
consequence, at many points
the price has materially ad-
vanced. From inquiries and
estimates | have made with
our road completed to the coal
beds of the Raccoon, we can
put coal on our barges cheaper
than it can be delivered in bar,
ges opposite our ilanding, from
any point above this, and of
quality equal to the best Pitts
burgh or Monongahela coal, and
it can be delivered on the plat
of the town Of Gollipolis full

er than from any point on the
Kanawha or Ohio rivers,
These are facts that should not
be overlooked by our citizens,
and are clearly demonstrated to
any person that will take the
trouble to inform themselves Of
the facts, The quantity of coal
in the Raccoon Valley is al.
most inexhaustible for all time
to come. From inquiries made

OUR Railroad.

OUR Railroad.
w. X. Langley, of Gallipolis,
writes to the Gallipolis Dis
patch, as follows:
GEo. d. HEBARD, Dear Sir:
The Macarthur people ap-
pear to be waking up to the
Importance and necessity of
more action in behalf of our
railroad enterprise. Mr., Thorn.
as B. Davis, the worthy and
energetic solicitor Of subscrip-
tions, writes under yesterdays
date, that their subscription list
is now going ahead, and that
within a few days, he has, aid
ed by Daniel viii, Esq, adj
ded several thousand dollars to
their list and will use his ut,
most endeavors to keep the
list growing daily until the
amount necessary to finish gra-
ding the road from the point
at which it shall cross the Ma
rietta road to Logan shall be
subscribed, This looks and
sounds like work. lie says
that. he has some good and en-
ergetic men al work assisting
him, and that he intends keep
ing the ball rolling.
Here our list of subscribers is
steadily increasing, and scarce
ly a day passes without adding
something to our list. AS far
as people has been called on in
the county they have generally
responded promptly by making
liberal subscriptions, many OF
them promising to double the
amount as soon as they can see
their way clear, and some say
they will double the amount as
soon as they see a certain pros
pect of the road being built
10 such l would beg leave to
say if you wish to make the
success of the road a certainty,
double your subscriptions at
the start which would encour-
age Others to strain a point or
two, and make their subsclip.
tions larger, and by that means,
the required amount would be
sooner secured, and consequent
ly we would be sooner ready to
commence work on the road.
1t is very desirable that we
should be ready to commence
work early next Spring, if at
all practicable. For by that
time, much Of the force now
on the Chesapeake
and Ohio road, will be through
with that work, and l have no
doubt that more favorable ar
rangements can he then made
for labor and grading material,
than at a later day. The road
can, and must be built. But
it can be done in one,
two, three, five or ten years,
altogether upon the
Of subscriptions, and
the promptness with which they
are made. AS stated above, the
citizens of the county are re-
spending freely, according to
their means, and there is plen.
ty of room on the city list for
many thousand dollars to be
added to their present Gin most
,ases) liberal subscriptions
What do you say, citizens Of
9allipolis -? Will you add a
'ew hundred or a few thousand |
lollars more to your present
and thus hurry
he matter along? and, also,
W so doing, encourage the cit
zens Of the county to increase
heir list by additional names,
md by adding to their sub
criptions already made ? AS
have repeatedly said before,
have not q doubt but there is
plenty Of surplus means in the
counties on the route between
lere and Logan to grade the
oad without subjecting any
ne to serious inconvenience, if
very one will subscribe what
heir means and their interest
1 the enterprise will justify
