Politics.

AS long as politics are run IN
the old rut, by political hacks
who "lahor for hire" expecting
to make money by election to lu-
crative offices, or fat appoint
ments, and the masses walk up
and vote for the manupulators,
80 long may we expect to enjoy
high taxes and political corrup-
ton. It were almost better to
have no government than to
have such a government as we
now have.
The prime object of govern
ment is TO repress crime, and pro-
tect the weak from oppression
by the strong.
If u go"d government is, pre-
ferable to anarchy, then every
citizen ought TO fe,l sufficient
interest to spend the necessary
time and effort, without peenn;-
airy reward. In exercising the
elective franchise, practically the
masses do this, but through the
macbinarions OF professional pol
itician4, they ure led like sheep
TO the shambles. aud yet foo the
bills for ext'avasant appropria-
tions to support in splendor their
leaders.

AsPlNwALL, April 5, via Ha-

Salvador, Central America, has
been destroyed by an EARTH
quake. Eight hundred persons
persisted, and $12, 00G,0 600 worth
of property was destroyed. The
earthquake was followed by a
confagration, and many build

NEW York, April 1.-THE fol-
lowing particulars of the de-
struction at San Salvador, Cen
trail America, are received here:
For a few days slight shocks
of earthquake lad occurred, but
no serious aPprehensions we're
entertained.
1t was on the evening of the
4th of March, about half-past
four, almost without warming, IA
great part of the city was reduc-
ed to little more than ruins.
The ground heaved as a
a ship in, a gale. Terrific
thunderlngs burst from unuer
foot; walls tottered and were
rent in many places with wide
crevices, roofs sunk, and tiles.
etc., were precipitated to the
ground. Lamps, pitchers, ba>
sins, glass, etc, were overturned
and broken.
Three violent shocks followed
in succession, and the servants
began to scream piteously, and
could not be pacified.
Wild birds flew to the houses.
horses grew frantic in the sta
bles, and dogs, bowling, skunk
for protection.
Every few minutes shakings Of
less violence occurred. The
scene beggared description

n &OE0a.u Grab.

AS to the salaries Of the mem
bcrs of Congress, the following
of pay legislation is in
point since the last great grab.
The compensation of members
of Congress was first fixed. by the
act of September 22nd, 1889,
which directed that until March
4, 1895, each Senator and mem
Der should receive Sc for every
day Of Attendance and Sc for eY-
cry twenty miles of the estira-
ted distance by the most usual
road from his residence to the
seat of Congress In cases of
detention from Congress by i'll
ness the allowance was to be
continued. The act also provid-
ed that after March 4 h, 1895,
each Senator should receive 81 a
day and 81 for every twenty
miles travelled. a new act, da
ted March 10, 17G6, fixed the
pay of members of both houses
at Sc a day. and So for every
twenty mites travelled. On July
9Th, 1897. a law was passed
giving the above pay and mile
age to the members OF the extra
session of that year. The next
legislation on the subject was
contained in all act making the
pay Of members of Congress
$500 per annum, but this law
was repealed February 9th, 1917.
The law of January 22d, 1878,
gave So a day pay and SO mile
age for every twenty miles trav-
eled. The next change was
made by the act OF August 10th,
1856. which fixed the pay at
$4,000 for two years and So mile
~"
age for two sessions only. A
few years ago the compensation
of members Of Congress was
raised to $4,000 per annum, with
mileage as before. The last
Congress placed the pay at
$500 per annum, without mile
age, but actual travelling expen-
ses are allowed; and this, by a
sort OF 'sdouble-bac action
movement, carried back over
both sessions of the last Congress,
giving the liberal Congressman
about $4,000 extra a piece.

The New York Independent, a
paper devoted to religion and
Radical politics, thus disconrseth
in respect to Mr. Grants recent
family appointments:
"The nomination of j. F.. Ca
sey, the brother in law of the
President, to the co~llectorship at
the port of New Orleans, and his
confirmation by the Senate, we
can regard in no other light than
a disgrace to the Republican par
ty. He ought long since to have
been removed from the Office to
which he is now re-appointed.-
Ii there were any doubt on this
point, his understandable course
in respect to the Louisiana diff
culties, like that of Judge Durell
proves him utterly unfit to hold
the office. The President would
have been wise in dispensing
with such an unworthy incum-
bent, and the Senate equally
wise in summarily rejecting his
nomination."

The struggle now going on in
Illinois between The agriculture
al aud railroad interests, instead
OF abating, Increases in magni-
tude and intensity. In refer
ence to the recent convention in
that State, the Chicago Times
says:
1.-The convention of farmers at
Springfield cannot fail to. be re-
cognized as a very significant
gathering. 1t was largely at
tended. and was manifestedly
prevailed by a spirit that it will
be in vain for the railroads, or
any other power, TO resist. The
resolutions are perhaps open to
some criticism, especially in their
failure to present a terse recital
of grievances complained of, and
the means proposed for their res
dress; buG their prolixity does
not conceal the sonnduess of the
principles they embody. 1t is
especially gratifying that the
fundamental and transcending
grievance, which is the fostering
parent OF monopoly and all its
outrages, did not escape the con-
domination that it deserves"

A statement of the public debt
for the last month has been pub
lished, and it is claimed that a
decrease of about a million and a
half had. been effected in the
month of March. This would be
an almost imperceptible cuita'l-
ment, wen if it was strictly true,
but it really is not, for along with
the statement comes another ag-
gregation of figures relative to
the very shaky loans to the Pa
cifc Railroad Company, and we
find one item to read thus: "In-
terest accrued and not yet paid
$969,252" This, if paid, would
show that the decrease of the
debt in March was less than half
a million In reality, for the Gov
ernment is in debt largely to the
railroad for extra transportation.
In truth, the actual debt of the
United States is about $2,250,>
100000 although it is returned at
a much smaller figure. What
use there Can be in deceiving the
public in regard to this matter,
month after month, we can not
divine, unless it is 10 cover up
the financial failures of the Cow
eminent, and to render pecula>
tons and frauds impalpable for
the time being.

financially an utter failure. The
nominal debt of the state on ac-
count of current expenditures in
carrying on the government has

The Rail Road meeting at Cas-

pose OF taking some action to-
ward securing the running of the
line of the Cincinnati and Great
Northern Road from Greonvifle
to Eaton, was well attended, and
proves that the people of Green
vile and Castine are enthusiastic
for this line and are determined
to have it. Hon. VIM. ALLEN,
President, -wth-IIl-Foos, as
Vice President. Three Secretar-
les e appointed, after which
the meeting selected a Commit
tee on Resolutions, as follows
Judge GILMORE, of Eaton; G. M.
ANDERSON, of Greenville and S.
B. MINNIcH, of Castine. During
the absence of the Committee,
Judge ALLEN addressed the meets
ing and stated distinctly that
Greenville was in favor of our
line, and indeed felt nc interest
in any other. Judge Gilmore
Judge Haines, J. FL Zoos, Esq,
T. +. Larsh and G. F. Brooke,
Esq, all made excellent and en-
courag1ng remarks in favor of
the enterprise. Dayton was at
her old tricks again, and had her
emissaries there to create a
a division, bat the friends of this
line are not to be "sold out" again
as they were before, and we are
satisfied Judge McKemy went
home with this impression, and
feeling that we mean business
now. We will probably allude
to this more at length in the fu-
ture. The report of the eCom-
mittee is as follows, which was
adopted without asingle discent>
ing voice !:
Whereas, The interests of the
people of Eaton and Preble Coun-
ty, and Greenville and Darke
County, Ohio, are identiele in
having a Rail Road from Eaton
to Greenville, Ohio, aud
Whereas, Some local aid ought
to be donated to any company
thai will construct he same.
Therefore, To ascertain the
feelings of the people along said
proposed route and in further
ance of such enterprise.
Be it ReSoLued, By the people
of the territory of Preble and
Darke Counties, through which
said proposed road will pass, that
we pledge ourselves to raise and
donate the sum of 100000 per
mile for every mile of said pro-
posed road, to any company that
will build, equip & put in running
operation said proposed road
within the shortest time from
and after May 1st., 1873, provid-
ed that such time be not longer
than three years after said date,
and
Resolved, That a committee
of three, one from Eaton, one
from Greenville, and one from
Castine, to organize the corpora
ton from Eaton to Greenville,
under a charter already on re-
cord In the Secretary of States
Office; SO that the necessary stock
be subscribed and Directors for
said road be elected, and organi-
cation completed, so that said
cooperation through its board of
Directors may ascertain what
company will render it, in con-
nection with the aid contempla-
ted the most effective and prompt
assistance in building the road,
to contract with such company
