CAPITAL EARLE.

We have in the mouse and the magi-
clan, an old East India fable, capital
illustration of "men" and things OF the
present day-wlth terrible application
to the modern politician. The story runs
thus !; A mouse that dwelt near the
abode of great magician was kept in
such constant distress by its fears of a
cat that the m lgician, taking pity on it,
turned it into cat itself. Immediately
It began to suffrI from the fear of dog,
SO that the magician turned 1t into dog.
Then it began to suffer from fear of a
tiger, and the magician, in disgust, said,
3 Be a mouse again. AS you have only
the heart of mouse, it is impossible to
help you by giving you the b dy of a
noble animal" Aud the poor creature
again Became mouse.
1t Is the same with nous ,-hearted
man. He may be clothed with the pow
ers and placed in the position of brave
meB, yet he will always act like mouse;
and public opinion has generally been la
the past the great magician that finally
said to such a person, go back to your
Obseurity again. You have only the
heart of a mouse, and it is useless to try
to make lion out of YOU"
But how Is it tO-dayp In many III
stances we see men nominated and el, cted

discharge the duties thereof, but were

The Columbus correspondent Of the

forts being made TO secure an enabling
act for vote on the removal OF the coun-
ty seat Of Wood COUNTY from Bowling

A new "wrinklc" about the age OF
horses is the discovery Of an Illinois
farmer, who determines the age of all
animals over nine years old by the fol-
lowing novel method: After the horse
is nine years old a wrinkle comes on the
upper corner of the lower lid, and every
year thereafter he has one well defined
wrinkle for every year over nine. Ii for
instance, horse has three wrinkles, he
Is twelve; if he has four, he Is thirteen
Add the number Of wrinkles to nine and

The Status of this question is such, that
il remains for legislative action at the first
meeting Of the General Assembly in De.
cember next. There is no reason to doubt
for moment of its final success. The
measure passed the Senate by decisive
vote, and the House has acted on il twice
so the next reading finishes l.. The feel.
in generally prevails among the members
that the people should be allowed to vole

Let MS put aside as unworthy Of consideration
the threadbare asse rton that Wholesome
money supply will demoralze the people by
engondering speculation. This argument is
based upon the theory that the business men
Of this country cannot be trusted with their own
business.
Currency is credit. This credit Webster de-
fined as the vital air OF modern commerce.
The West to-day, with untold wealth to be de-
veloped stands pleading for this credit With
this credit confidence will be restored trade
will revive, industry will start again her busy
fingers, and The car of progress roll onward as
before. Without II, the sulsn proclamation
must go forth that we have reached the highest
