Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1873-10-30
Editorial Notes.

The latest proposition connected
with the Presidency is said to be to
have the Inauguration day Of the
Presidential term changed from the
4th Of March to the 1st of July, SC
as to have it and the new fiscal yeal
begin on the same day.
Among the elections held this
month. no attention has been given
to Nebraska. The election in that
State was for local Offices merely,
but the Republicans have swept the
State, carrying several counties that
were heretofore Democratic, and
losing none of their. own.
Allen county, Ohio, the home Of
the 'Allen county movement
which was to work such a revolu.
ton in politics, voted as follows:
Noyes,1,775; Allen ,2s6; Collins,
167. So the Allen county move.
ment" got only 167 out of 405s
votes in the place of its birth.
| Andy johnson complains that
when public servants grow old they
are thrust aside as useless, himself
being an instance. He mistakes.
He was laid aside, not because be
was old, but because he was a trait
or. If he had behaved himself, de-
Gently, he might have been in the
public service yet.
It is the opinion of some of the
most able financiers of New York
that there will be the first of Novem-
Der, from thirty to thirty five mil
lions of dollars in gold afoat in that
market, without any regard to pri-
yate boards, and that the price can
not be kept up. This is an encour.
aging prospect.
Ambitious members of Congress
will do well to study the situation
carefully, before the assembling OF
that body. Probably there has ney-
er been a Congress where the oppor
tunnities for gaining enviable prom
inence were 30 numerous. The men
who, from the first day, oppose every
improper scheme, and sfully
resist the wiles of those who are
pushing them, will be the men OF
mark.
The eastern papers all notice an
improved tone in business matters.
Confidence is slowly returning, and
if the eastern banks could only be
induced to meet their responsible
ties, and pay their depositors in
notes instead ofchecks, it would re-
turn still more rapidly. There is
just as much money, to-day, as there
was three months ago, and 1T is just
as good; but the timid hoard it, and
the over-prudent are afraid to use
it. All that is now wanted is the
will; the way is open to a speedy re-
turn to activity,a little forbearance,
little caution and a little conf
dence, as well, will gradually work
us out of all our present financial
difficulties.
Having apparently, drawn their
elephant in the Ohio Lottery, the
Democracy are now at a sad loss
what to do with him. 1t is credibly
reported that a number of the most
prominent men of the party claim
that in his election a fatal mistake
was made which will send the Lib
eral Republicans, who will not tol-
crate Bourbonism,, back into the
Republican party. Instead of con-
ciliating and keeping them, they
have driven them out Of their ranks
thus overthrowing and undoing the
work of the last two years, and put
ting all hopes of success in the next
Presidential campaign to fight.
The following cure for neuralgia
is given by the Newark Gazette and
is well worth trying. The article
reads: ga friend of ours, who suf-
fered horribly from pains from
neuralgia, hearing of noted physi-
clan in Germany, who invaribly cur
ed the dieease, crossed the ocean
and visited Germany for treatment.
He was permanently cured after
sojourn, and the doctor freely gave
him the simple remedy used, which
was nothing but poultice and tea
made from our common field thistle.
The leaves are macerated and used
on the parts afflicted as poultice
while a small quantity of the leaves
are boiled down to a pint, and a
small wine glass Of the decoction
drank before each meal. Our friend
says he has never known it to fail
of giving relief, while in almost ev-
cry case it has effected cure.
The hay crop Of the New England
States would seem to be with them
as important staple as the cotton
crop is to the Southern States. The
crop of Maine this year is worth as
much in the Boston and New York
market of Georgia. The yield is
not less than 100000 tons. 1t
sells to day in Boston at thirty dol
lars a ton, which amounts to the
princely sum OF $4S,0O0,0O0. The
cotton crop of Georgia this year is
estimated at 100000 bales of four
hundred pounds each. This at TWEEN
ty cents pound, would also bring
in the Boston market $4S, 100000.
