WASHINGTON TREATY.

Our Government is in receipt Of
frequent kilograms from London,
but up to q late hour moth.
ing had come to hand showing detin
lite action on the part of the British
Government concerning the propos
ed additional article to the treaty
of Washington. According to of
ficial utterances it remains for Eng
land to accept the article as modi-
fed, as this is the extent to which
the President and his advisers are
willing to go. The President has,
as he remarked to inquiries, "sur-
sendered his personal views to what
he considered proper concession
an ordor to save the treaty on be
half of financial and commercial in
terests of the United States, and to
maintain peace between the two
countries. There was a point, he
said, beyond which further conces-
sions would be sacrifice of nation
al honor. and as we mad reached
that stage it remained for England
TO decide whether or not the treaty
should be abandoned.
The arbitrators have power to adj
journ on the 18th TO such day as
they may think proper in order to
accommodate themselves to the cir
cumstances of business before them
or 70 await further action of the
two Governments should there be a
prospect Of Eeconciling present diff
f.rences.

A DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE AT
TRENTON.

TRENTON, o., May 2Sth ~.
Mr.. Philip Minich. an old and
highly respected citizen of this place
hung himself in his barn. He had
eaten breakfast as usual, and moth
ing could be noticed in his manner
beyond the ordinary. He had fall :
ell from a wagon last fall, and his
head was fractured by one of the
wheels passing over 1t, but it did
not seem to effect him until the
present. He had experienced some
trouble on account of his corn being
somewhat destroyed by a severe
hailstorm which passed through the
valley on Monday, the day previous
to his death, and, it is thought, the
storm had some bearing on his sud.
den determination. John Minich,
his son, had been out in the morn
ing examining the corn fields, and
it was only when he was putting
the horses back into the stable that
he discovered the lifeless but still
warm body Of his father, hanging
from beam by thin strap. Quite
a gloom is cast upon the community
by this sad affair.

INTERNAL REVENUE BILL.

The Finance Committee of the
Senate has agreed on Internal Rev
enue changes making a reduction
of about $60,000,0OO per annum.
The ''sales" tax on whisky and to-
bacco and the rectifers' tax are to
be abolished; licenses retained with
a ten cent stamp in lieu of the rec
tifiers' tax: the whisky expectation
tax left as in the House bill and
the whisky tax consolidated at 20
cents. Instead of moieties, which
are to be abolished, AN appropriation
of 100000 is to be made, for use
at the discretion of the Commission
er of Internal Revenue in the prose
cution of frauds.
The tobacco tax is to be made
uniform at "A cents, bonded ware
houses being retained as in the
House bill.
All stamp taxes, except on liquors
and tobacco, are to be abolished
releasing from this burden all ar
ticles under schedules B and c.
The collection districts are to be
reduced to the number of sixty, be-
fore January next.

HOW Is This.

Jeff Davis now comes to the
front and in the role of a supporter
of Horace Greeley, who so nobly
assisted him in the hour of trial.
Well, to say the least, this is an
exhibition of gratitude on the part
of Mr.. d. He could not well de-
sert the man who went his bail, but
it might be well to ask if the sup
port of the ex-quasi President in the
South will not ALLEVIATE many friends
from the old philosopher in the
North? We think SO. 1t will &c
mighty hard with most people in
this section to row in the same boat
with the rebel chieftain.

FROM oRRvILLE.
ORRvILLE, June Sd. 70

OhNh iLLI-, % uHC OU, -.
EDS. REPUBLIcAN:--A change of
time on both roads has Just been
made. The change is not very
great, and many trains run as they
did formerly. The time on the
Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne e. Chicago is
as follows: West -.6:33 A. NJ, 1923
and 7:47 P. NJ. East 200 and
11:0S A. NJ, 2::25 and S:J2 P. NJ.
On the Cleveland & Mt. Vernon:
North I 100 A. NJ. and 2:51 p. NJ.
South 9:31 A. NJ. and 1903 P. NJ.
The train from Millersburg in the
morningmakes its usual connections
both ways. On this schedule, as
formerly, there is no west bound
express on Monday morning.
Considerable anxiety existed here
last Saturday to hear the result of
the special election at Wheeling on
that day on the question of the city
subscribing to the stock of Wheel
ing and Lake Erie Railroad. A dis
patch received ON Sunday morning
by Mr.. Orr announced that the
question had been decided in favor
of the road by a majority of over
eleven hundred. This looks very
much as though Orrville was des-
tined to receive additional railway
facilities. However we should not
trumpet too much until we are fair
ly out the wilderness.
The surmised project of running
a new route for the P, Ft. w. d C.
road from near this place westward
is beginning to assume a business
like aspect. An engineer of the
Pennsylvania Company will exam
inc the route this week, and as that
company does not generally pro-
ject anything without carrying it
through we may look for active op-
elations. This new route cuts off
Wooster to the south and takes in
Smithville and shland, striking
the old road again near Crestline.
Should the new route be adopted of
course the present route via Woos-
ter and Loudonville would not be
abandoned, but only the local trains
would be run over that circuitous
and crooked part Of the road.
The Doncaster House was closed |
last week. Mr.. Westover and the |
owner could not agree. consequent
ly the former packed his goods and |
took his departure. The house will
be thoroughly renovated and repair
ed, and will soon have another pro-
prietor. The Hurd House starts in
and is having a large run
of custom.

GRANT CLUB,

The colored voters of Philadel
phia have organized Grant Club
and it is expected that fully two
thousand will enroll themselves as
members. This is splendid evi
dence how they will go next No
vember all over the country. They
are too grateful to forget VIII fought
the battle which gave freedom
and civil equality to all their race
Mr.. Greeley had hoped to receive
this element of strength, but by
this time he must know that his
hope was in vain. All through the
country the colored people are mar.
shalling for Grant.

A counterfelter named G. Tyler
was about to be arrested BY two de-
tectives at Wellsville, on<sFriday
last. When on the bank of the riv-

through the clothing of one. After
this, he plunged into the river to
swim across, but was drowned. His
coat left on the bank had in it ST.

CONSCIENCE FUND.

The conscience fund in the Uni
ted States Treasury slowly accumu
lates, every other day or so being
increased by small amounts sent
through anonymous sources by re-
pentant swindlers. The history ot
this fund during the past few years
if truthfully written up, would form
q very interesting book. 1t is good
to know that conscience yet lives
in this world in some peoples
hearts to whip them into acts Of
restitution.

IN A SEA OF TROUBLE.

The troubles of the Democrats in
trying to stand on the fence through
all these high winds of politics are
painful to witness. They don't
know whom to go for and whom not.
They doubt and hesitate whether to
have any conventions, and if so,
when. The Ohio Democratic Cen
tral Committee was in this perplex-
ity at their meeting at Columbus.
They met, and had to do something,
but what to do? One move was to
put off the State Convention till
August 7th, so as to wait, as one
member expressed it, "until it was
known what it had been deemed bes,
to do at Baltimore" But this pru.
dent move was thwarted by the rash
venture Of holding the Convention
on June 9th, to nominate a State
ticket and delegates to Baltimore
1t was left an open question wheth.
er the June Convention should ap.
point a Democratic electoral ticket
for the State. Probably they won't
but 'wait a little longer to see
what will turn up at Baltimore
There was a deal Of lodging in the
committee on the "Liberal''coalition
business, a motion to invite al
Liberal Republicans opposed to
Grant to cooperate in the Conven
ton, being voted down. And sc
the Convention will be Simon purs
Democracy and nothing else, till We
hear from Baltimore. The attitude
Of the Democracy is just this-wait
ing for the fateful 9th July.

conceded that Gen. Grant will be
nominated for reelection with the
chances in favor of Colfax or Henry

HONEST CONFESSION.

confession:
"We confess we do not see the evil

Theo. Tilton illustrates Mr.. Gree
ley's "disciplined and penetrating
instinct by saying: "We have
known him to sleep through a long
speech, and then at its close rise
and reply to it, point for point"
spotted Tail'indignantly denies
that he authorized the association
of his name with that OF Victoria
c. Woodruff on the Presidential
ticket. The following dispatch has
been received from him. "Wood-
hull! Squaw! Ugh. Me no runr'
"What ought the Baltimore Con-
vention to do?" asks an exchange.
The Louisville Courier Journal
hardly knows; though it is inclined
to think that, before proceeding reg
ularly to business it ought to adj
journ.
An inebriated Democrat was din
ing at the Ives House, Sedalia, Mo.
the other day. ''Beef, pork, mutton,
veal, or chicken said the polite
waiter. 81 don't care -" was
the reply; anything to beat
Grant"
The Louisville Journal says that
"Greeley's old white hat will be a
modern illustration of the white
plume of Henry of Navarro shining
with the inspiring brightness of an
orifamme in the thickest of the
fight" Goodness gracious!
Down in Dixie they are 'firing
the Southern heart" for Mr.. Gree
ley by publishing his old articles
from the Tribune advocating the
right of secession. Among the old
followers ofthe stars and bars these
articles invariably excite much en-
thusiasm for Mr.. Greeley.
Another Straw. In Petersburg,
Va, on the 22d inst, C. B. Raine,
leader of the Greeley movement in
Virginia, and delegate to Cincin-
natl, was defeated for Mayor by
the regular Republican candidate
by double the usual majority-one
thousand-on the direct issue. The
colored men voted solidly for Grant.
Says the Chicago Times (straight
out Democrat): "Mr. Greely has
utterly failed to unite the opposition
to Grant, he has succeeded only in
rendering the disuinity more pro-
and irreconcilable. AS a
Presidential candidate for the oppo-
sition he is already politically dead.
His election is among the things
that are impossible"
Yet another National Convention
is announced, to be held by the Re-
union and Reform organization in
Baltimore the day before the Demo-
cratic National Convention. The
hope is to help the Democracy to
select candidates that will delight
5he Revenue Reformers. Groesbeck,
Of Ohio, is said to be the favorite
With these anti-Greeley Liberals,
,hough Charles Francis Adams
stands a good show"
Mr.. Greeley's white coat is his
;orieal. He speaks of it to an in
innate friend thus: "People suppose
t's the same old coat, but it isn't.
The original white coat came from
Ireland. An emigrant brought it
'ut. He wanted money, ,and l want
ID coat, so 1 bought it of him for
$40; and it was the best coat l ever
lad. They do work we'll in old
,ountries-not in such hurry as
We do"

DEATH OF JAMES GORDON BEN.
NETT.

James OOruOn bennett, 81, 1Oun-
der and proprietor of the New York
Herald, died at his home near New
York City between five and six o.
clock Saturday afternoon. Mr..
Bennett was born in Scotland and
came to America in 1919, being then
in his twentieth year. He was a
Jealous student, and is reported to
have nearly starved when he read
Virgil and wrote poetry. He strug-
gled along poor, obscure and unno
ticed until 1885, when he established
the Herald and founded the new
school of journalism, which made
neaes the first and most important
feature of a daily paper. AS a news
getter the Herald has a standing
alone among the journals of the
English language. Its editorial
opinions have never carried much
weight, but its sagacity in foretell-
ing political events was for many
years its most remarkable faculty.
Mr.. Bennett gave his whole soul and
energy to his newspaper, and now
dies, ripe in years and sated with
success, leaving behind him the
most profitable piece of newspaper
property in America. During the
past three or four years, the failing
health of Mr.. Bennett has preven-
ted him from giving to the Herald
his personal supervision, but he has
from his suburban retreat dictated
its position on oil leading questions
up to the very week of his death.
LOOK ON THIS PICTURE, AND ON
THAT.
The Troy Times in commenting
upon the Cincinnati nominations is
seized with political antithesis, and
relieves itself In this manner: Grant
is not in the habit of running wild
after speculative crotchets. Greeley
is peculiarly given to such follies.
Grant is tolerant. Greeley is intol-
Grant. Grant trusts absolutely only
those whom he knows to be trust
worthy. Greeley is continually be-
ing victimized by sharpers. Grant
is reserved. Greeley is talkative.
Grant is resolute. Greeley is vacil-
lating. Grant reflects before he
acts. Greeley is moved by impulse.
Grant is modest in the expression
of his opinions. Greeley deems
everybody fool who does not ac-
cept his frequent vagaries as the
products of profound philosophy.
Grant is generous. Greeley is sell
fish. In short, the two are antipa-
thetic, and have little in common
except personal honesty and love
Of Republican liberty under the
guaranty of law. Where they diff
fer is precisely where Grant is Gree
ley's superior.
