THE mopoc's SENTENCED.

All doubt about the fate of the
Modoc murderers is now settled by
authentic dispatches from Washing
ton, announcing that the finding
and sentence of the military com
mission at Fort klamath have been
approved, and that, in accordance
Herewith, Captain Jack, Schonchin,
Black Jim, Boston Charley, One
Eyed Jim and Cox will be hanged
at Fort klamath on the third of Oc-
tober. This is in accordance with
the facts of their crime, and in the
true spirit of justice, not revenge.
There is no hasty stringing up Of
the murders by telegraph in defer
ence to pubic indignation, but q calm
deliberate execution according TO
law. 1t is to be hoped that the
peace-at-any-price people will see
the propriety of directing their ef-
forts to the civilization of the In
dians who are left, and allowing the
deliberate sentence of law to take its
course.

REPuRLIcAN CONVENTION.

A number of Republican Conven-
tions to nominate candidates for
the next legislature are to be held
within the next two weeks. The
Democrats have nearly completed
their nominations and have nearly
completed their nominations and
have put forward their strongest
men. The fight in Ohio this fall is
to be for the control of the next
legislature, which will choose the
successor % Senator Thurman. The
Democracy hope by fusiuns and
split tickets to gain a majorit; as
they did six years ago. Nothing
but inexcusable apathy on the part
of the Republicans will bring about
such a result. The enormous Re
publican majority in the State is
sufficient to elect a legislature two
thirds Republican. But it is of the
utmost Importance that tie very
best men-men who will not only
be popular candidates, but men Of
unimpeachable integrity and devot-
ed to party principle-should be
nominated. Look out for indepen-
dentand boiling candidates from the
regular parties! They are the men
who cannot be counted upon in a
Senatorial contest. The best men
should be sent to Columbus this
winter. No political hucksters!

Vermont must be the Banner
State" as regards the condition of
its finances. The debt of the State
is only 1885, $40, while the Treasury
contains almost quarter Of n mill
ion dollars, and is credited with a
large amount of uncollected taxes.
The current liabilities of the State
are only about thirty thousand dol
lars, the government is economical,
and it has no Tweed in prospect.
Last year So, 500 of the debt was
paid. 1t seems to be possible for
Vermont to rid herself of all debt
in a year or two, and if things go
ON in this way, it will soon have a
surplus fund, the interest on which
will pay the cost of the government,
and taxes may be abolished.

MORE DEMOCRATIC CONSISTENCY.

Mere is sample of Democratic
consistency. The Ohio Democratic
platform says: -. .....
THAT the public lands should be
sacredly reserved for acsual settlers,
who viii dwell upon and cultivate
them, and that we will continue to
denounce and opposed, as zoe haze
dlsoays denoiinced and opposed all
gifts Of such lands By the Govern
ment co incorporated companies
Now for the facts. During the
period of six years, beginning in
1850 and ending in 1856, while the
Democrats controlled the govern
ment, forty-one- grants of public
lands were madeytoirailroad corpor
ations. and thirty-one million sic
hundred thousand acres of the pub
lie domain were given away by bills
passed by Democratic, Congresses,
and signed by Democrstic Presi-
dents Furthermore, the origina-
tor of the land digrant system was a
Democratic leader and Presidential
candidate Stephen A. Douglas.
And yet the Ohio Democracy have
the effrontery to say they have al
ways denounced such a policy! airi

WHO WAS WHIPPED.

The Cincinnati Gazette, in allud-
ing to the determination of the Dem
ocracy of Ohio to make straight
ONT fight, says: ris- wq4h 81 ersd
"We, rather like the arrangement.
Masked batteries are mean things to
fight. The Republicans have been
lighting masked batteries for sever
al years, and, although victorious,
there has been, a dispute as to whom
they conquered. The Greeleyites
said it was the Democratic party
was whipped in 1872, and the Dem
ocrats insisted that it was Greeley
ltes that went under. Recently a
sect called the Pharisees sprang up
and insisted that both were defeat
ed, and set themselves up as the on
ly opponents of the Republicans.
But now comes the old Democracy,
under its own hanner,9 and takes the
field. When, therefore, in October,
the Republicans of Ohio sweep the
field, it will oIbe known that this
time the Democratic party has been
defeated, and that there is for it 9

AN EXTRACT.

Here is a paragraph from the
Athens speech Of Governor Noyes
which every citizen of Ohio should
''read, mark, learn and inwardly di-
gest." 1t is not new thing for him
to say, or for us to impress upon
our readers, but its circumstances
give it local application and fresh
interest. .-
No man who wishes well for the
State can notice without concern the
rapid and enormous increase in the
local Indebtedness of our smaller
political divisions. Incompetent,
irresponsible and reckless officials
often squander the public money ;and
sometimes the better Judgment of
communities is improperly swayed
by specious arguments and false re
presentations, for purposes Of pri-
vate gain. While the State debt is
decreasing, our cities and counties
are preparing burden which will
be found heavy and oppressive in
the coming years. All good citizens
should set their faces against this
mortgage of the future, and this evil
should be borne in mind while the
people are selecting members of the
Legislature and their county offices.

THE TAIL STILL .WRiG Giles.

The tail of the old serpent Seces-
sion, still gives signs Of animation.
JEFF. Davis, the arch traitor, who
should have been hung on Appoma-
tox tree, or in front of the Federal
Capitol, gave vent to some Of his
lingering hopes at the recent South
ern horticulture Convention at
White Sulphur Springs, that they
might yet aredeem all that they had
lost" in the late war. He said: ua
.sWe hayeb been more cheated than
conquered by the declarations of
the Federal President, Congress and
Gems. for there never could have been
q surrender had we anticipated what
followed, and would to day have been
Free" He still had hope of the
South, because whatever men might
be, he never yet had seen a recon
structed woman, and while the men
of the day are mightier than the
principles for which they had strug
gled, he yet hoped the children who
succeeded them would grow up to
maintain and perpetuate them, and
redeem all that we have lost 59ms9

DEMOCRATIC FRAUDS.

The pretended. honesty of the
Democratic party finds ready an
swer in the frauds recently develop
ed in the old Democretic county of
Fairfield, in this State. Gen. Cod
man, Ex-Auditor of State, has been
to investigate the matter,
and he has brought to light frauds
amounting to ,-t-TCfA vaey
$142,545.S1,
all perpetrated on the people of
Fairfield county by the simon pure
Democracy, under a majority in that
county of about 1850 votes. The
following dispatch published in the
papers on Friday last, shows just
what Gen. Goldman discovered in
that old simon pure, unadulterated
stronghold of Democracy. Is it
any wonder that Gen. Ewing wants
to get rid of the corrupt name of
Democracy: .as 1i'="f'

The CINCINNATI Enquirer says OF
the Democratic platform "The
Democratic platform this year
ought to have been about four inch
es long. 1t should have been of
snap and it should have contained
nothing except what we propose to
fisht on in this canvas. Rhetoric
is not always the thing in platforms.
The speakers can supply that. The
trainers of Columbus last week, gave
us an ell instead a foot. The
Committee on Resolutions ought to
havehad water poured on its head
from time to time." This is the
opinion of the leading Democratic
paper in Ohio. .oo- irdinr. l

DErALcATIoNS.

There have been, within a few
years, seyersl heavy defalcations
among county Offices in Ohio, and
the counties in which those defalca-
tions happened have uniformly been
Democratic. The latest instance is
in Fairfield county. when the coun
ty treasury has been robbed of over
100000 by q Democratic Office
holder. There is, Of course, a nat
iural tendency on the part of the Re
publicans to make party capital out
of such facts; and the Cincinnati
Enquirer as naturally puts in . ca
'veat against this tendency it says:
ave publish this morning an extended ac-
sogns o. sne ne bePisVe %ers ps%oess: ~
men scko ssposed them scers Denocrdts."
This is undoubtedly the correct
stand to take. A party is respousi-
BILE for the dishonesty of its offici-
ais, where it seeks to cover up their
acts or prevent their exposure and
punishment, as in New York city /;
but where the exposure is promptly
made. by the party friends of the ac-
cused, and there is no attempt st
concealment or excuse, there is no
ground for holding the party re-
sponsible for the dishonest acts of
its members. e'f' ''r1ifi ~ -7'.t
This, however, has not been the
course generally pursued by the
Democratic press toward Republi-
cans. In the Credit Mobilier case,
the Republican party ferretted out
the frauds and exposed all the facts
in the se;yet, the Democratic pa
pers have, with one accord, tried to
make party capital out of the expo
sures. ..-.....,. -, .- la--.f-
II, then, the idea thrown out, in
this Ohio case, by the Enquirer. that
where honest Democrats expose the
dishonest ones, the party is not to
be held responsible for the dishon-
esty, be correct, then, by parity Of
reasoning, the Republican party
should,not be held responsible for
the Credit Mobilier dishonesty. And
if, on the other hand, the Republi-
cans are to be held resposible in the
Credit Mobilier case, then the Dem
ocratic party in Ohio must be held
to account for the, dishonesty in
Fairfield and other counties.no mat
ter who made the exposures. The
rule works both ways. i

FARMERS ORANGES.

The farmers Oranges have struck
a new lead in some parts of the
west. They have agreed to pool
their wheat crop and sell it togeth
er or hold it as may be deemed
best by the majority. Twenty-Five
oranges in Kansas have consolidated
and decided to hold over their grain
until next year in hope ofobtaining
better rates. This may be all very
well. The grangers have an un-
doubted right to do just what they
are doing. In other words, the
farmers have an unquestionable e
right to combine and engage in
wheat speculations, which is Mhat
they are now doing. Whether
they will gain anything by holding
their crops or not is another ques-
ton. We have heard of farmers
doing the same thing with wool, but
remember very few cases in which
theJ have made anything by the de
lay. Unless the Oranges combine
to an extent.which viii enable them
to control markets their coopera-
ton can be of little practical advant-
age except to restrain their lndlyid-
ual liberties. If all the Farmers
Oranges In the Western States
should unite and resolve not to sell
a bushel ofgrain under a given price
they could, undoubtedly, WELD an
important and powerful influence.
We do not believe that this broad
comprehensive organization is prob
able and therefore doubt the eff
cheney of the Oranges as grain spec
ulators. d o4sa Iasf
