Dr. Cheney has sgnifed his acceptance Bishop Cum

locked up. The same is the case with
regard to all other industries which have
felt the effects of the crisis Funds. if
not in circulation, must accumulate; and
when they once break over the barriers
which confne them, there will be a SUI
perabundance of cash within easy reach
How soon this reaction will take place, it
is iInpessible to say The panic gave no
warming of its approach, and we believe
that the anomalous state of affairs which
now causes the people to so closely guard
their purse strings will disappear in an
equally sudden manner. The only coun-
sci to be given is simply to hope, and to
use every effort to tide over the interval
which may elapse before the resumption
of easier times. The country is unques-
tionably in a prosperous condition, and
industries generally are doing excellently
well. Hence, as to the temporary nature
of the present difficulties there is not a
shadow of doubt; and that they cannot
much longer continue, we consider almost
certainty Those houses which, by
careful management, succeed in bridging
over the ehasm without making serious
sacrifice. will, we further believe, when
the reaction comes, clear sufficient to
wipe out the record of the losses they
may have incurred, and, besides, show a
fair profit for the year.
Regarding the probable condition OF
the workmen, due to the reduction ol
force in many establishments. we notice
with regret that the sentiments of one o.

for the men, on account of the part taken
by the latter in the strikes of year ago

SALVATION.

We heard Minister declare from the
pulpit last Sunday that Salvation is Sc
cured alone by faith, or words othat effect,
and that works had nothing to do with
the matter whatever.
Now that may be true as theological
question, or it may not We do not in
tend to discuss that matter now and
here.
What we intend to say is, that if the
Republican party secure future life, it
will be by works alone The party must
,c0rk out its salvation with fear and
trembling That work must be COM
menced very soon, and no past works,
however meritorious, and no act of faith, !,
without works, can save the party. He
that eontinueth to the end, shall be saved. P"
We will give our opinion of the fruits
meet for repentance" which the party
must bring forth at once.
Congress will meet in month from
this time. Let President Grant say in
his annual message that when he e-signed
the general appropriation bill, with the
salary steal in it, he did not wish to de-
feat the appropriations, and he did not
wish to 60 contrary to the action of the
peoples representatives; but that he is
opposed to it, and recommends its repeal
that he will not take dollar more from
the treasury than the amount fixed by
law when he was elected Then let the
Republican members of Congress repeal
that infamous measure, voting unani
mously for its repeal. Then let the
President recall Bingham from Japan
and remove Shellabarger. This done
no power on earth can prevent the cleo
ton of Grant for the third term, and the
Republican party will be stronger than il
ever was.
Again. Should the President fail to
recommend the repeal of the law increas
ing salaries, or should he claim and re
ceive his share of the plumber, or should
he retain Bingham and Shellabarger in
Office, the party may secure salvation if il
will promptly repudiate the President
the Senate refuse to confirm Bingham
and Congress repeal the steal, the Repub
licans, of course. acting unanimously in
| the matter.
Mark our predictions, and see if the

Teachers and Friends of Education


The Executive Committee of the jack
son County Teachers Association are
taking measures towards making up the
Programme for the ensuing Institute,
and ask your hearty cooperation. You
will favor the Committee by acknowledg-
ing the receipt and acceptance or nom
acceptance of your topics immediately All
the friends are expected to. zealously par
ticipate in raising the standard of teach
ing in our county. Great will be your
benefits if you will lay hold and help
yourselves in helping Others.
Teachers, the work is in your hands.
Will you make it a success? 1t should
be the design of the Association to afford
as thorough instruction as possible in
the common English branches and the
best methods of teaching them. The
methods of instruction and school man
agement presented should be more
especially such as can be adopted in un-
classified schools, Perhaps a portion of
time will be devoted to discussions of
the end, aim and scope of education and
the details of school management in
which all will be invited to participate.
As testimony of the worth of Institutes,
we quote from School Commissioner Har-
vey:
THE acknowledged fact, that schools
are best taught and school affairs best
administered in those counties where
teachers take the most interest in Insti-
tutes. is sure test of their value and
efficiency"
We hope there will be no inclination
on the part Of our educational friends to
shirk duty We look for something good

Lackey His theme-"Music in its Re.
lations to Common School Education"
We desire to have the Programme
completed and published as soon as pos

THE PROHIBITION FOLLY.

lei -
When the Prohibitionists met in con-
vention in this county, we accorded them
honesty of purpose. Judging them from
the character of the men who led off in
the movement, Before the campaign
was over, we became convinced that the
whole concern Especially outside of this
county, was carried on either by knaves
or fools, or both.
Now let us see. The Prohibitionists
prefessed to work against the liquor traffic
And they were especially bitter against
the Republican party, and many of them
expressed a strong desire to see the Re-
publican party defeated and destroyed.
If ever any law struck terror into the
liquor sellers, it was the law known as
the "Adair law" This law gives party
injured by the sale of liquor right to
recover damage from the seller. A strong
effort was made in the last Legislature,
and mostly by Democratic liquor sellers,
to have this excellent law modified or
repealed but the Republican Legislature
stood firm, and the law was not touched
Now the Hooking Senhnel, an able
Democratic paper says:
The next Democratic Legislature will
most likely modify the black mailing
feature of the Adair Liquor Law"
The Cincinnati Volkstress,d, is leading
German Democratic paper. Speaking for
the Enquirer, the leading Democratic pa
per of the State, as well as speaking for
itself, the Votkstreand says:
C @The Enquirer admits that the Ohio
temperance law contains separate clauses
which have so tyrannical character
that no sensible man can defend them
1t is of the opinion that the next Legis-
lature will materially modify it. We hope
it will SO greatly modify it that but little
of it will remain.
mo sensible citizen will have an objec-
ton that a saloon keeper should suffer
punishment who keeps a disorderly
house, or who knowingly sells spirituous
liquors to persons known to be drunk
ards or minors, but for this object we do
not need Adair laws a simple legal provis-
9o'l that g saloon keeper Dho IS gully of such
.aets shall forfeit his license Is all sufficient"
!, In order to show the knavery of these
professed friends of temperance, whose
soleebject seems to be the destruction of
the Republican party, the Columbus cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Ga=ette sent
the following important facts to that pa
:. per last week:
