GRANT AND BLAINE.

The indications are that Grant and
Blaine are to be the Republican contestants
for the next Presidency. Both of them
have strong points with their party friends.
Blaine is shreWd, capable, ambitious, and
though resident OF Maine, is believed TO
have moro strength "ith ti.o auti-sariG
auyocales VI the West than bis oppone MT.
Grant is in position, is backed by the or
ganization which his officials in every State
Tigidly maintain, and is supported by the
money power Of Wall street and of the Ma
tional Bank monopoly. He will be hard
to beat; but Blaine can do it if be will
watch his points with that sagacity of which
we believe him possessed. Grant calcu-
lates, through the negro vote, upon
a nearly united South. Ia this
he may be mistaken. He cannot
carry the negro vote unless he can carry al.
Sd the Republican politicians of the South.
The negroes win not follow him any more
tbal they did Greeley or Sumner. They
follow their local leaders. This fact Grant
does not seem to appreciate, for he has wo-
fully ignored, if not Intentionally neglected
the Southern Republicans. Should Blaine
unite the Southern and Western Republi-
cans and carry with them those from
Maine and New Hampshire, Grant will find
that all the money Of Wall street and of the
protection and National Bank monopolies
C lnnot save him.

THE GRANT CANDIDATE

This concise and unprecedented biogrspbi-
cal sketch of the Grant candidate for Gov
ernor of Massachusetts appears in the
Taunton Gazette: His political record as
pseudo Republican; = deserter from the
Democratic ranks; toady upon Grant,
who bottled up his military renown; 8
dispenser of offices; an opposer of the
Civil Service reform; nuisance in the
House until he was squelched by Farms
worth; and, lastly, the engineer of a thiev-
ing raid on the public treasury, is all well
known. Let each voter apply it for him
SELF"
The Republican editors who don't like the
idea of their party in Massachusetts nomi-
mating Gen. Butler for Governor are labor
ing hard to prove that the Grant admins
tration does not support him. This is q
hard task, for every leading Federal Office
holder in that State advocates the nomina-
ton of Butler, and no new appointments
are made without consulting Butler, and he
somehow secures bis man in preference to
all the other candidates. The fact is, But
Ter, with his salary-grab and his defence of
the Credit Mobilier swindle record is the
true exponent of the present Administration
in that State.

THE CENTENNIAL.

There is no question but that the man.
sgement Of the Centennial business in
Philadelphia is giving dissatisfaction, and
that this dissatisfaction is growing every
day. 1t is right and proper that the cele-
bration should take place in Philadelphia.
There is fitness il the place which no one
will question. But the people of that city
should see that the movement is not seized
and controlled in the interest Of ring
whose only object is to make money out of
the affair. The Chicago Tribune says:
"Much dissatisfaction among the Southern
and Western members Of the Philadelphia
Centennial Exposition is growing out CT
the fact that the Commission is evidently
run in the interesi of ring Of Pbiladel-
phians, and that it has been packed by this
ring at the expense Of certain States which
are entitled to representation by their own
citizens. For instance, the State of Geor-
gia is represented by Mr.. Lewis Walu SU 18th
of Philadelphia, who seems to be the lead
ing spirit of the Whole enterprise. The
State Of Louisiana is represented in part
by John Lynch, carpet. Dagger and men,
Der of the celebrated Lynch Board Of Can
vassers, and In part by one Pennypacker of
Philadelphia. Indiana was at one time
represented by Phiiadelphian also, but
upon the protest of Gov. Hendricks he was
removed, and a resident of Indiana appoint
ed. The ring character of the Commits
sion has been severely commented on by
the local press of Philadelphia, but without
effect. We understand that it is the pur-
pose of the Western and Southern Com
missioners to ask Congress to pass a sup
Elemental bill, requiring thst the Commits
sioners shall be actual residents of the
S ates they represent. Nothing less than
this viii satisfy the Western members of
the Commission; and we may add that
nothing less will commend the Exposition
itself to the confidence of the country at
large"

EARTH-CLOSETS.

Only few know the value of well con-
structed aud managed earth-closet. 1t is a
contrivance for rendering human excreta
perfectly inodoroues and harmless in any
room; to do away with the nuisance of
privies and water closets. Anable cores
podent of the County Gentleman says:
"The most eminent physicians, believe.
agree that Asiatic cholera is contagious only
through the excrements of patients afflicted
with it. Fevers, and nearly all putrid dis
eases are spread and increased in their vir-
ulence in the same way. Vaults and cess
pools for privies, especially in cities and
large towns, even when no virulent disease
prevails, are incontroVertibly nuisance, al
ways predudicial to general health, and as
sure to breed disease as a manure heap is
to bring forth weeds"
1t Is sad misfortune that every man
and woman in every city and village is not
fully impressed by the truth above stated.
Cities are made unhealthy by gross miscon-
duct. The writer above quoted says truly
that dry dust is purifyer; it deodorizes
any putrid or filthy matter that is covered
by it. Sand will not answer, hcr lumpy
clay or mold. Dry fine read dust is best,
and costs nothing but the gathering. Dry
sifted ashes from mineral coal, mixed with
street dust, answer an excellent purpose.
The c,ncluding remarks of this cores
pendent are in these words:
"Sifted dust from the street is just the
thing, ard street dirt or coal ashes will do
without sitting, if enough is used. But
something beside 'earth closets" is needed.
Ih eWant is awoodhouse commode and bed
room and chamber conveniences: and these
are easily made, and their construction is
so simple that almos. any man can make
them for his family need. For closet
use, make or get second hand box, say
II to IA inches square, and the height
of a chair; swing one side or the cover by

IOWA SCHOOLS ACCEPTING TIE
BACK PAY,

1t will be remembered that some time
since Congressman Walden undertook to
get rid ofhis back-psy by dividing it among
the schools Of his district, each receiving
about 3 cents for each scholar on its rolls.
The Supervisors of Marion county refused
to accept the money, alleging that they did
not wish to become receivers of stolen goods.
A correspondent of the New York World
writing from Davenport, Iowa, says the
State Superintendent of Education, Mr.
A. Alternately, (Repub!ican), has just de-
cided that the right Of an individual to give
money for the benefit Of the school fund can
not be questioned, and the Supervisors,
having no control of the deposition of the
school funds except the permanent fund,
cannot legally direct the repayment or re-
fusal ofsuch money. These funds, includ-
ing all amounts so bestowed, must be used
as the law directs, and an action may be
maintained against the Auditor or Super
visors by any resident of district thus de-
prived of its portion of the school funds.
The Supervisors of Marion hold firmly to
their original position, and it is not thought
ikely-so general is the condemnation of
the shack pay steal"-that any resident,
will be found to bring suit and compel
them to accept the money,

The general feeling in New York State
is in favor of united Democracy. The
Albany argus says: SIT is gratifying to
know that the feeling in New York city is
strongly in favor OF hearty union. The
people will follow where leaders in whom
they confide shall indicate. There is no
disposition to dictate; only a yearning for
hearty and effective cooperation. There is
reasonto feel confident that this desire for
unity will be gratifed. Complications will
be smoothed away, and no differences 81
lowed of nature perilous to success. In
the full assurance of this suspicious result
The Democracy of the interior can conf
IDENTIFY prepare for the coming campaign.
Sound principles have been steadily gaining
strength for years. Give them vigor and
vitality by careful preparation. and The is
sues of the conflict will not be doubtful"

The Election.

The result Of the election in this
State is not quite as satisfactory as we
could wish, yet there is no doubt but
the Republican ticket has been elected
though Governor Noyes' majority will
probably be reduced from what it was
two years ago. The Legislature will
probably DC Republican. The election
in Hamilton county is reported to have
gone Republican. All the members
elect to the State Legislature are re
ported, ut this writing, to be Republi
cana. If this Is true, there is cause fol
rejoicing over the result in that cor
ner of the State. There is no use hunt
ing up excuses for reduced Repuo
lican majority, in this State, if suct
should preTe to be the cause. What
ever may be the result, We are prepar.
cd to accept the situation.
Iowa and Pennsylvania are reported
to have gone Republican by from 30,
coo to $4,000 majority.

.ResunlptLOsHs

The banks in Cincinnati resumed curren-
cy payments in full, on Monday morning
thus gladAsning the hearts of many OF the
business and working men of the city and
of Southern Ohio especially. The Ga
zctte of Tuesday says in relation to the re-
sumption in that city:
The resumption Of the Cincinnati banks
Yesterday resulted as was anticipated IN
our remarks tavoring that course. 1t was
accepted by the pub lie as evidence OF the
winding up of the panic and as making the
boginuing of rapid and full recovery. The
banks left off business in the afternoon
largely stronger than when they opened
their doors. Much currency that has been
withheld was returned to the banks while
there was no Withdrawals except IN the
regular course of business. Within the
last few weeks bank discounts have beer
largely reduced. This, in the face Of rht
financial condition, is pretty conclusive ev
ilencc of the st"t9il1ty Of the busines
classes, and affords assurance of compare
lively smooth sailing in the future. Aftei
little while, Judging from the prescn
outlook, there will be more demand 70
good paper than for money.
