For ChaDDed Hands.

1t is said that honey is all
unfailing preventive for chapp.
ed hands. When washing the
hands, or rather having washed
them, while they are still wet,
rub on them q little honey, and
then dry them, taking care
to leave the honey dry on, and
not rinsing off before drying
the hands. IF the hands are
sore or chappedy the first and
second application Of the honey
will cause pain for about five
minutes, but If used every time
the hands are washed, the hands
never chap. 1t is also cure
for irritation on the face caused
by wind and cold weather.

TIE Constitution OF the
United States was the result Of
a number of compromises be-
tween men of extreme views
and opinions. But for these
the Government would not
have been established. 1t
would have been destroyed in
1920 on the Missouri, in 1883
on the South Carolina, and IN
1850 on the California CUES
tions, if in each instance there
had not been compromises
Upon each side, then, there
was a mutual give and take
1t was felt that this was q
great country, with many con :
flicting interests, withsa com
plicated system of government
and that no set of men had a
right to assume that they alone
should make no concessions to
others-that Others should con
cede everything to them. This
is not according to the rule Of
nature. Everybody has tc
give up some of his natural
rights in the establishment Of
civil society. But within the
last decade a new school OF
politicians has arisen in this
country. They consider them
selves above ordinary mortal
ity, always infallibly right, and
never, in the adjustment of the
most delicate questions, con-
slider it necessary to have any
copnrom;ee Their idea is.
accept our extreme notions, or
we will make you by force
It is in this unfortunate and
egotistical philosophy that all
our troubles since 1860 have
arisen. Not one of them is
there that could not have been
averted if our statesman had
had the liberal and fa1.seeing
views that once characterized
the men at the head of our af,
fairs.

The Mystery of Money.

A writer in the Pittsburg
(Pa.) Commercial Of Tuesday,
puts the question: "Why is it
that money is so hard to get?"
and answers the question by
showing that whereas in 1866
the money Of the United States
amounted to $964,0 100000 in
paper, and $24S, 100000 in
specie, in 1870 it had been
contracted to $760,0O0, 1000 in
paper and to s159,C0O,000 in
specie-a contraction of $204,-
100000 in paper and of $780,
100000 in specie within the
space of FIVE years. He claims
that "the money Of the country
is not adequate to the magni-
tude of our business and trade. -
In 1866, he says, and says truly
"there were no idle men" -
Mr.. Pendleton, with the sagaci.
ty of a true Statesman, pro-
muldged a policy that would
have given active and renumer.
ative employment to factories
and all Industrial employments.
The majority of the people,
yielding to their prejudices,
voted him and his policy down
and they are rewarded in dull
times, with money hard to get.
Day by day, as the world
grows older, the wisdom of Mr..
Pendleton's policy becomes
more manifest.

One ofthe impudent "golden
prize package" dealers, who
are to be seen every day upon
the passenger trains on the
Marietta & Cincinnati Railway,
has come to grief. While the
train was winding her way
through Athens county last
Thursday week, the young
prize gambler got into
trouble with a passenger
about the sale of a bogus
prise package. The difficulty
resulted in the drawing Of a
revolver by the prize vender.

pened to be on board the train,
and the prize nuisance was
taken to the county Jail to await
the action of the Grand Jury.

How the Revenue Rings

From the Portsmouth Times,l
How the Revenue Rings
Worked for Sherman
During the Senatorial con:
test at Columbus the revenue
ring of Ohio has been largely
represented by those patriotic
gentlemen who live off of the
public treasury. They rushed
to the State capital to aid in
elscting Grants candidate,
John Sherman, to the United
States Senate. The army OF
revenue bummsrs came up like
wolves on the little fold of in
dependent Republicans, who
talked of voting for somebody
else than the great Senatorial
Caesar of Ohio, who pushes
along the car of legislative jobs,
with its railroad subsidies, ma
tional bank speculation and
tariff plumbers, while the peo.
pie are ground beneath the
ponderous wheels. Sherman
is the pet of the land-grabbers;
the national bankers adore
him, and the. revenue collectors,
assessors and office hunters fall
down and worship him. They
are looking out for Sherman's
interests because they expect
him to look out for theirs. He
is the. chief of the jobbers.
Every peculator in federal pat.
ronage and Office, every friend
of special privileges, all the
public thieves and plunderers
labored and prayed for the
election Of the slim and slip.
perry Sherman. Every district
in Ohio had its representatives
of the bread and butter brig
ade.
The Sands and Nixons', Of
Cincinnati, were there; Kes.
singer, of Athens, was there,
and also General Jones, of
Waverly. A General Enochs,
of Ironton, looking, perhaps,
to the future for his reward,
was faithfully in attendance,
swinging his battle.axe high in
the air. Our town Coates
promptly put in his appear
ance to prove his fealty for the
cause. He was there to help
Sherman-it was advisable for
for him to do so, and in accor-
with his long established pro.
gramme. Not being in the
best odor with his party at
home it is necessary for him to
keep in good repute with the
powers that be--the magnates
who dictate the appointments
for federal Offices. So Coates
works for Sherman and re.
ceives for his services the ap.
and support Of that dis,
tinguished dispenser of pat.
ronage. Such is the pressure,
and such a portion of the
means employed to return to
the Senate Of the United
States men of the Sherman
stamp. Who hath wealth,
who hath patronage, who hath
power? They that tarry long
at the public crib. For sixteen
long years has John Sherm an

the lobbyists ply their voca.
tion, and he has not tarried in
vain. ...

each week may be found a COM

The subscription rates have

Wendell Phillips, the great
Apostle of Radicalfsm, gives
a "piece of his mind' on the
idea of calling the Republican
party the National party Of the
country. He says:
''It is the greatest sectional
party ever formed in the
United States. 1t does not
know its own place and calls
itself a national party. The
Republican party is the party
of the North, pledged against
the South to the end of time"
All the leading members Of
the two Republican factions in
Arkansas have gone to Wash
ington to testify before the
committee appointed to investi
gate the charges against Sena'
tor Clayton. 1t is stated that
prominent Democrats are to
testify as to whether any trade
was made with the Senator
which induced him to give q
certificate Of election to Gen
Edwards over the Republican
candidate, Judge Boles.
