ers" will be glad to hear word from the
County Meeting, held at Woodville the 18th
inst. In some respects it was the most useful
meeting of the sort ever held in the county.
Some eight or ten denominations were repre-
sented by few of their best men and women,
and vera welcomed in the growing town of
Woodville by those earnest workers in the
Woodville Sunday Schools, Capt. Nuhfer and
his teachers.
Reports from the Young Mems Christian
Association, of Bellevue, showed commenda-
BILE activity in the eartern part of the county
some four or five members of the Association
going out distance of twelve miles to assist
in the good work.
Geo. Mugg from the Clyde Y. N. c. A,
reports five or SIX new Schools in successful
operation under the auspices of that truly live
association.
John Gilbert and D. c. Franks report sew
eral new Schools in Riley.
Rev Mr., Nuhfer, brother of the Captain,
intinerating for the German Methodists in the
"regions of the north, reported two schools in
the borders of Rice. Other schools in the
county were reported by the Secretary to the
number of fifty.
The programme for the day was well carried
out. o. L. Ames presided. The speakers were
Rev. G. H. Hartupee, Clyde; ]. W. Donnell.
Helena; Rev. R. L. Chittenden, Fremont;
Rev. J. H Derr and J. W. Smith, Bellevue,
besides various persons who took part in the
discussions, &C., all of which was interesting
and profitable. DR.. Bushnell, C. R. McCuI-
Ioch, who were to speak to the children, went
as far as Elmore, learned that failure of no.
tice would cut off the children's meeting, aud
returned home without going to Woodville.
A Committee was appointed, charged with
the duty of looking Up every school in the
county, to learn the location, whether denom-
or union, name and P. o. address of
number of scholars, &C., and
invite cooperation with the union for an in
crease of work, and to offer help-Superinten-
dents, teachers, books, paers-or any thing
else that may be called for by any community
destitute of Sunday School; the work was
divided by townships as follows;

build better houses, expend more in
adornment of buildings, public and
private, than ever before. 1t costs
more to keep the family of ? good
mechanic in Toledo to-day than suf-
feed to keep the family of well-to-
do merchant on Broadway twenty
five years ago. Labor is also scare
er, and commands higher price. 1t
is not the initiation of currency that
causes prices to rule higher, as many
superficial thinkers contend. As
production, through the multiplica-
tion of superior faculties, increases,
human wants increase. Conse-
quently more money is needed as
wealth increases, as population aug
ments, and as the demands of our age
of plenty and prosperity become
greater.
A certain class of owl like fiuan-
ciers conjure up the bugbear of infia-
ton and VISIONS of dire disaster re-
sulting therefrom. They tell us that
the distresses of the crash of 1887
was owing to a mania of speculation
induced by an expanded currency.
That trouble was owing to destruc-
ton ofafinancisl system which gave
the country currency reliable and
uniform in value, and substituting
one that was wholly unreliable, with
out any guarantee to the bill hold
er, and variable in value according
to time of issue and the locality
where it circulated. The more a
country has of such currency the
worse it is off.
The currency, thanks to sound and
vigorous Republican legislation, is
well secured, and as safe as the gold
in a mans pocket, and vastly more
convenient. 1t is based on the prop
erty and the inviolable credit of an
honest nation. No man in his senses
fears concerning its usefulness and
reliability. The fluctuations in the
gold market do not represent chang
es in the value of currency, except
as related to gold as an article of
commerce. The relations of green
backs to wheat, iron, dry goods, or
real estate, are determined on pre-
cisely the same principle.
Farmers in the west complain of
lack of facilities for transportation OF
the overcharge and unjust discrim-
nation concerning freigbts, &C., and
with a measure of justice. But they
should understand that they suffer
more for lack of currency to move
their crops, and provides facilities
therefor, than they do from all 9th
er causes combined.
We are also glad that our redout-
able and vigorous Treasurer Spin
ner continues to check and moderate
the demand of some for speedy re-
turn to specie payments. Many
man has been doctored from a con-
dition of convalescence into his
grave. Much harm comes from not
letting well enough alone. The
country is not suffering from lack of
specie.
The high price of specie comes
from our insane tendency to buy
from abroad what we had far better
make at home. The less we buy
abroad, the lighter will be the bal
ance oftrade against us. When the
balance of trade shall turn in our ia
vor, specie payment will come of its
own accord. For domestic trade
our. national currency is good
enough, provided we can get enough
of it for the transaction Unnecessary
exchanges. As for specie, let those
who indulge in foreign fripperies
and fineries pay for the privilege of
fquidating their balances in it.

"R. P. Hall d. Co, Gentlemen
Please send me one dozen bottles of

LEW CAMPBELL has joined the
force consisting of Matt Carpenter
and Ben Butler, and defends the sal
ary grab. He don't ike the back
pay, nor has he taken it, but he con-
trolls it, and will, he says, until he
finds some one that has a better
claim. Lew is safe in that position
for no one has any claim upon it
whatever, so none have a better than
Lew,except that impersonal individ-

evidently regards as "rich enough to

THE GRANGERs sCYTHE.

A new weekly paper entitled
The Scythe is about to be issued by
The Scytte Printing and Publishing
Company, in the interest of the
Grangers throughout the United
States. The editorial office Of the
paper has been located in the great
Bennett Block, on Ann, Fulton and
Nassau Streets. The object of the
paper is to cooperate with the
Granger movement throughout the
United States, and one of its chief
specialties will be war to the knife
against the Railroad Monopolists.
1t will be entirely devoted to the
cause of the Patrons of Husbandrv,
and from the interest already
evinced by the Grangers, and from
a knowledge Of the men and money
behind the enterprise, its success is
certain. 1t will ignore politics en-
tirely unless the Grangers become
political, and live up to its motto,
viz: "TO cut a clean swath through
the fields Of eXtortion."

people the way to some place of
amusement? 1t spreads its binding

each direction, and people who have
no umbrellas are compelled to walk
backward until they get by. 1t is a
bold and Haunting outrage-the
fruitful parent of opthalmia and
prOfuse profanity. Its presence can
only be accounted FOR on the theory

AN ILL-FATED FAMILY.


Three years ago Ephraim Stein
hardt, who did the shooting in the
Vesey Street tragedy, was discarded
by his father for persistent profit
gacy. From that time until two
moths ago, when ne went into
Messrs. Steinhardt Bros. d Schon-
lank's mandatory to loarn cigar
making, he roamed aimlessly about
from one Western city to another.
About six months ago he was in
Louisville, where some members Of
the Stenhardt family reside. One
day he caused to be telegraphed
from that city that he had been shot
and mortally wounded in a saloon
fight. The story was printed in the
newspapers everywhere, and of
course reached his parents here.
They were distressed at the sup
posed disgraceful death of their son,
and telegraphed for the particulars
and to have the body sent to New
York. An erratic element seems to
exist in the family. A sister of
Benjamin Steinhardt the father,
killed herself in Louisville two years
ago, and a little later a daughter
poisoned herself to-death with paris
green in this city. The latter had
fallen in love with a young man
whose poverty made him unaccepta-
as a son -in-law. Her father forbade
the marriage, and broke of the en-
He then chose a suitor
after his own liking, and she obeyed
his commands; but the union did
not prove a happy one, and the
daughter ended it with suicide.

What a support!

Democratic orators are fixing up
their campaign speeches to charge
the back pay grab on the Republic
an party. 1t may be well for them
to consider the following facts:
"Every Democratic Congressman
(Senator Thurman excepted) from
Ohio has drawn and kept his back
pay.
"Every Democratic Congressman
from Missouri has drawn and kept
his back pay,
every Democratic Congressman
from Pennsylvania has drawn and
kept his back pay.
every Democratic Congressman
from Kentucky has drawn and kept
his back pay.
"Every Democratic Congressman
from New Hampshire has drawn and
kept his back pay.
"The only Democratic Congress
man from Michigan has drawn and
kept his back pay"
Let every truth stand on its own
bottom.

THE New York Tribune and the
Chicago Times having indulged in
severe charges against the private
character of Senator Matt Carpenter,
the Milwaukee Wisconsin takes up
the matter and demands that an in
vestigation be had, and that the said
papers be cited to answer to a charge
of libel. 1t says:
"These charges are too grave to
pass unnoticed. They are uttered
by Journals of ample pecuniary re-
sponsibility. They can be made to
suffer most seriously if they have
given currency to reports that are
false and libelous, and the constitu-
ents of the senator have a right to
know the truth. If they are false
personal malevolence could 90 no
further and jury would award such
damages as would be a lesson to all
future journalists. The people de-
mand that the Senator of their
choice should vindicate his charac-
ter"
If Matt don't proceed against
those papers, the people, and espec-
tally his immediate constituents will
readily understand why he could
not live on the salary of a Congress-
man, but must needs join in the sal
lrY steal.

Brother Myers evidently thinks
that is conclusive. Suppose we ad-
nit the premise, what is the conclu-
sion2 Simply this: that all the
Democrats wanted was the opportu-
nifty, and they would take all they
could lay their. hands on. Verify he
gives his associates a high character
for honesty, when he asserts that the
only reason they would not take
what didn't belong to them would
be because they couldn't. That is
a queer proof of honesty.
