ANOTHER NEW DEPARTURE

The Democrats of Allen county have
passed resolutions to abandon the old
party, and start new party. They sug-
gest convention at Columbus July 30th.
The Hooking Sentinel favors departure,
but very strangely suggests that the con-
vention be held in August, at the time of
the Democratic convention-or, in other
words, that it tack itself on to the old
Democratic corpse. 1t is the same old
trick a scheme to steal into power under
the false pretense of new name.
If the honest people really desire new
party, it can be formed. The last Congress
which will be known in history as the
"thieving Congress" must be divested OF
all partisan responsibility. Neither par
ty, as such, is to be saddled with the re
sponsibility of the Great Crime. True
there was majority of Republicans; but
then it must be remembered that ma
jority of the Democrats in that Congress
voted for the steal, while a majority Of
the Republicans voted against it.
You cannot form successful party by
attempting to array the farmers of the
country against their greatest benefac
tors, the railroads. You cannot succeed
with any new party if the old rebel De
mocracy is to jump a-straddle of its neck
and choke it down.
1t is of vital Importance to know wha
would be the effect upon the country, o
the success of any party. We will sug
gest platform for a new party, and ash
those desiring a new party to eonside
what would be the result should thes'
principles be carried out.
l. All officers elected, to serve without
pay. (This would include President
Vice President, and members ofCongress
2. All officers serving by appointment
to be examined by competent board
and to hold certificates of qualification
from said board, and said appointment
to be awarded to the lowest responsible
bidders holding such certificates.
8. All actual residents over twenty-on'
years of age to be permitted to vote anC
hold Office. (This would include womei
and persons not born in the United
States
4 Absolute prohibition of the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating liquors
in the United States, and the destruction

said amounts from the Assessors return
for taxation, therefore, l write this, Mr..
Editor, for the information of the various
persons who have been required to list
property of like nature, in order that they
may understand the reasons why, and
upon what conditions said amounts we're
stricken from the Assessors return.
The above items were given to the As
SCISSOR as items of statistics, the intention
of the parties being not to return them
for taxation, therefore they were not in
cluded in their sworn statement of prop
erty, the parties believing, as / suppose,
that property in the form in which it was
held was free from taxation, not having
been required or called upon to list such
property heretofore But the Assessor
believing that under the 9th section OF
an act "as amended March 30, 1868, (rel-
ative to the taxation of property said
act providing that if any person shall
have converted moneys, credits, or other
personal property, in the year preceding
the second Monday of April, into bonds
or other securities of the United States,
or this State not taxed, and shall hold or
control said bonds or other securities
when he is required to list his property,
he shall list the monthly average value
of said moneys, credits, &c, thus con-
verted. while said property was held or
controlled by him in taxable shape; and
also by instructions. given him that de-
posts with banks or persons, subject to
draft on demand, are taxable as money,
if payable on time, they are taxable as
credits and in either case they are taxable.
though the bills deposited 1oere green6aeks
That a portion of said amount returned
as statistics was taxable, but being unable
to obtain the necessary information to
enable him to determine the true amount
to be returned for taxation, he inserted
in their list of taxable property, after re-
ceiving their sworn statements the whole
amount returned as statistics, thus max
ing it incumbent upon the County Au-
ditor, or Board of Equalization, to arrive
at the true amount liable to taxation and
by referring to the entry from which
your extract was taken, it will be seen
that said amounts were stricken from the
Assessors return, not absolutely, as
would be inferred from the. statement
made in your last issue, bat NTH the prorisc
that such amounts of the same as may
hereafter be found subject to taxation be
placed in lieu thereof. w. S. BAKER

At a meeting of the people to hear and
have an expression of opinion upon the
subject of building a railroad from Ber-

sen chairman, and j. j. Strong secretary.
The chairman introduced Mr.. S. l..

speech upon the necessity of building
the B. & P R. R., and the means by
which said road could be built, together
with necessity of building said road as an
independent line. Mr.. Watts, of Jack
son, gave short explanation of the sub
iect of Leases, and the use they would
be applied to in order to raise the nee
essary funds to build the B. & P. R. R.
Mr. DuHadway, of jackson spoke of the
benefits to be derived from the building G
of any railroad through any country, and
numerous advantages to the citizens
along this line in particular. and the ne
cessity of giving material aid to this par
ticular enterprise, if we would receive
any benefit from the untold mineral re-
sources of the country through which
this R. R. passes. On motion business
and executive committee of six was ap-
pointed to report at a future meeting.

Letter from Hon. Ralph Leete.

IRoNToN, June &c, 1878.
Davis Mackley:
Ny DEAR SIR: l wish you to send me
the STANDARD. Here is $500 subscrip-
ton.
You have performed an important pub
lie service by bringing one of the - to
grief.
Words fail to exposes the shame and
humiliation which right minded men
feel, to be compelled to witness the spec
tacle of the degradation of the Executive
and Legislative departments of the Great
Republic, by the vile abuse of their High
ITust, in turning places of the highest
Honor and distinction into-what shall l
say2 the fountains of Law and Justice,
all the repositories of the highest of crimes.
Grant is no more to be spared than poor
John T. Wilson.
You, my dear sir-shall I say it2 be-
long to the men and the party of the
future
Let all right-pinded men confederate
Il mean all such as nourish society by
useful industry, whether as agriculturists,
the bar or in whatever calling, and lay
down the following propositions as the
basis of the party of the future:
l. reclamation of every acre of land
granted by the United States to railroad
corporations.
2. By virtue of the right of eminent
domain, to take possession of all the rail
roads in the Territories of the United
States, and to operate them in the inter
est of the public.
3. The payment of all the past debts of
| the railroad companies.
4. An amendment of the Federal Con-
stitution, giving the President one term
of six years.
5. Land limitation in all the States
and Territories; that is to say, the price
of land shall be its occupancy, and no man
shall have land who will not "subdue
and cultivate it"
Unless some such measures be taken
by the people, and that soon, the steam
engine and the money power will have
gone over US, and we, or our children
will cry out against a harsher and more
cruel aristocracy than any known in
Europe
1 think you are quite right i'm your ad
yocacy of woman suffrage. They today
belong to the oppressed classes in the
United States. They will become oul
natural allies in the approaching contest
of flesh and blood on the one side, an6
corporations with Government patronage
on the other side. $50.
These are indeed very Random
Thoughts; but men who believe in the
rights of the men, or the a0onae,s, as against
the superiority of incorporated wealth
must combine for their own defense
Their enemy never sleeps.

Elder s. III. Bingham, who is. well
known in this place, pays our county a
well merited compliment, in communi-
cation to the Wilmington Journal. He
is writing from Vinton county, where he
has been on preaching tour. He says:
Although AHensville is proverbial for
rowdyism, we had crowded houses every
evening and good order throughout, and
we hope to do much good. This county
is governed, at present, entirely by a
whisky ring, and at the last court, a
grand jury could not be empanneled that
would find an Indictment against single
Hquor seller Very different from neigh
Dor jackson, whose jury indicted every
seller in the county, and whose Court at
its last term, assessed and collected
81, 600 in fines"
True. that is little rough on Vinton
county, but what could be expected with
q paper at the county seat controlled by
such man as Raper2 Send on the mis-
sionaries to Vinton.

The Republican State convention of
Iowa has spoken. Here is how the mat
ter is viewed in that great Republican
State:
"ResOzued, That the act of the majority
of the members of the last Congress, in
volying what is known as the "back-pay
steal" by which they voted into their
pockets thousands of dollars which did
not belong to them, was most fagrantly
improper and infamous, and should Sc
cure the condemnation of all who were
party to it; and we demand that the
provisions of the late act of Congress, by
which salaries were increased, shall be
promptly and Internationally repealed :"

We mentioned some time ago that
Mrs Woodruff was indicted in New
York for sending obscene publications
through the mails, these publications
being mostly extracts from the Bible.
Her trial was had last week in the United
States District Court and for wonder,
she was acquitted. If she had been a
man, and indicted for murder, her acquit-
tai would have been nothing strange, but
being only woman, it is strange that
she was not sent to the Penitentiary

One remarkable thing connected with
the back salary grab is the fact that the
Democratic press did not discover any
thing wrong in it until the Republican
papers from Maine to California, came
out boldly against the theft.-Ironton
Journal
And it was equally remarkable that
few Republican papers in this Congress
ional district discovered anything wrong
in the steal until the STANDARD ''came
out boldly against the theft"

THE VERY BEST PLAN
By which you can obtain Life Insurance is the
Low Premium, All Cash, Stock Plan. 1t fur
nishes the largest amount of insurance for
given sum of money. The contract is plain and
definite, without complication, mystery or un-
certainty. The policy is always worth its face,
the premium never increases. 1t is the most
satisfactory and economical plan for the insur-
ant. The Travellers Insurance Company, of
Hartford, Conn.,, grants Life Insurance upon
this excellent plan. Insecurity is unquestioned.
