EDGIoB JOURNAL: Sometime since No
Pbersoa county reported to you. This county
has since bad IN election for railroeds and
bonds which have been carried BY . small M
ioeity, (E). Though these was but small
portion in favor, the minority will submit with
good gr.ce. One strong anti-bond man ne
marked yesterday that be was going to make
the best ont Of it he could, and that be was
going to advocate bonds for school building
In his district-and that Il business What is
more encouraging for Eastern people than to
see schools and churches when they come out
here: II we have good buildings they are
certainly some signs Of Improvement. There
seems to be some discord among the incorpor-
at0rs Of the town company OF New Gotland.
Since the election they have located, Or atfemt-
ed to loczte the town site about which there
seems to be dispute. To locate ii at or near
the New GotlaDd Post 0fice would probably
be east Of the line of the road SHOULD there be
one built that way), and those not connected
with the Post Office. or owning property near.
would have it located not far from Indian
Greek. as they claim that that would be nearer
an air line from Lindsbury 10 McPherSon
Now il those concerned in said town company
will take the safe side they will spend no more
time nor money in endeavoring to locate said
town site. but will only give their support to
those towns now under heslway 1t is wiser
for them thus to do. Now the probability is
that this county will soon haze two n,ilroads-
one from Salina to Raymond. via Lindsburg,
Siiarps Cresk aud Atlanta. which will tap the
A. r. 4 5. Fe. Road at Raymond; one line
from the A. r. & 5. +. Road from Newton to
Ellsworth. via Kings City. Mcpherson and
Sharps Greek. which will tap the X. Z. a, Els
worth. As for the county seat it is conceded
that Mcpherson will be the town without
doubt. The mass Of our voters have seen
the folly Of county seat fights, to the north,
south and east. Other counties may continue
to fight, If they will. but We intend to fight it
on. on this line, by uniting and creating har-
mony in all parts Of the county. Each Sec
ton will commence to improve and strive to
having strife at the ballot box TO gain the
county seat-Only for re.enge. While this Is
going on. some other point is building and
making rapid improvements. While it is \
great credit to our county. in the way OF crit
icism. less can be said against Us. while on the
other hand we are financially in a higher
standing. We need not beg to have capitalists
purchase our bonds at good round price.
Why. says the banker. Mcpherson county
bonds are good that county ms no contests.
and there is no bonded debt hanging over her.
she will pay one hundred cents on the dollar.
A word Ia the wise is sufficient. Limited we
stand. divided we fall

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

AS one among the first to suggest
the name of General Grant as the
standard bearer OF the Republican
party, We point with pride to his
Annual Message, which appears in
full in the REPUBLICAN,. Its patriotic
tone, practical recommendations,
dignified and yet simple style, puts
to shame his infamous slanderers and
defamers, and those, whose stock of
political knowledge seems to consist
in their favorite and sneering remark,
"Grant can't make speech will be
forced to acknowledge that he writes
with ali ability that would elicit the
highest concentrations from such
writer's as Addison and Writ, and
exhibits such familiarity with the
practical workings of the various de-
partments and wants of the country,
that the great soldier has shown to
the world that he is also emphatically
sagacious and noble statesman.
We heartily congratulate the friends
of the President, for he has proved
himself worthy of more than all they
have ever said in his justification and
praise.
Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1872-12-05

for the love of the thing, and rot be-
canse they mourn the dead or SYM
pathize with the living family.
Necessitv now puts a stop to this
practice. Let the good sense of the
people continue the Improvement
when the present necessity shall have
ceased.
The wife of Horace Greeley was
recently inferred in Greenwood
Cemetery, New York. The funeral
services were at the church, and sub
sequently the remains were follow
ed to the grave by the family and the
pail bearers only. Most frequently
the services are conducted at the
house of the deceased, and on the
same or the following day the re-
mains are inferred. Thus real
mourners are permitted to do in pri'
vate what with US is public exhibit
ion, and which, from practice, has be
como q heavy tax, burdening those
who can not afford it.
Another senseless practice, in this
connection, is the costly caskets that
are used, There is one class of peo.
pie who have not fallen into this,
and their examt lie is worthy of uni
tation. The Jews use collins con
structed of material as delicate as il
can be made to hold together. This
is covered with plain material, gen.
orally black cloth. The idea is to
permit the remains to mingle at once
with the earth. This is certainly
more pleasant to contemplate than
the repugnant one suggested by an
air tight metallic casket.
The Jewish custom has prevailed
from early ages. Ours is the out
growth of fashion and folloy, as is
also the custom of erecting costly
monuments is cemeteries. II people
would usethe money which theywaste
in funerals displays and expend upon
monuments unnecessarily costly, up
on worthy objects or charity, a vast
amount of good would be established
and practices would be abolished
that are disgrace to our boasted
civilization.

GLORIOUS VICTORY.

Indiana has thrown herself in the
breach. and will save the Union from
the further administration of General
Grant. She has elected hendricks
Governor by 1000 majority, with a
majority in the Legislature, thus de
feating the rotten Moxy Morton for
United States Senator. Let the
men of Ohio take courage and pre-
pare for the fight in November
Wyandot Democratic Union, Octo-
Der 10th 1872.
The Legislature of Indiana yester-
day re- elected Oliver p. Morton Uni
ted States Senator for six years from
the 4th Of March next. Mr. Morton
he'd six majority in the Senate and
ten majorit, in the House, or sixteen
on joint ballot. being the full Repub
lican vote in both houses. Mr.
Morton is an able Senator and a
staunch Republican, and carried In
diana in the late canvass largely BY
his personal popularity and the elo-
quence and force of his public 3eech
es. His re election is the natura
consequence of The Republican vic
tory in that State last October

FUNERALS.

During the prevalence of tina horse
epidemic it will be found difficult to
bury the dead. The time is good
one, therefore, to introduce the New
York system Of private funerals
that is to say, of having the remains
attended to the cemetery by the fam,
lily Of the deceased only. The pres
ent practice here is heavy tax upon
the poor, but it must be broken up,
if broken up at all, by those who are
not poor. A notion, devoid fsense
prevails that, to show proper respect
to the dead, there must be long fun
eral trains, and the sorrow of the
living is supposed to be measured
by the number of carriages. There
fore when hearse is followed by
only three or six carriages, it is sup
posed that the dead has few friends
to mourn, or that those friends are
poor. This keeps alive the extrava,
gance. The rich practice it. The
poor follow the example. Thus the
average cost of funerals in this city
is over one hundred dollars. This
is far more than three fourth of the
living can afford for burying the
dead Besides, it is senseless. A
large proportion of those who ride
to funerals are not mourners. They
go for the sake of the ride. They
enjoy it, They go to the funerals
