Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1874-05-28

A question has arisen in the minds
of many members of the House,
whether that body really has right
to pass vote of censure upon any
Cabinet Minister, as proposed in
the case Of Secretary Richardson
for his action in the Sanborn affair.
The argument is that the Secretary
is responsible to the Executive, ap-
points him, and that Congress can
haye no control over him except
through the Executive. On the 9th
er side, it is argued with equal force
that, as the Presidents appointment
cannot have force and effect until
after confirmation by the Senate,
the appointee, even though he be
a Cabinet officer, is amenable to
censure.

GOOD SHOWING.

In one respect, at least, the coun-
try stands on much better footing
than it did year or two ago. A
comparative statement of the value
of the imports and exports ofleather,
and hides, and collateral articles, for
1873, compiled from the annual re-
port of theBureau of statistics,shows
a falling off in the value of imports
of those articles for the past year, of
$780, 1923 from those of 1872, and
an increase in the exports for the
sameperiod, of 50, ,546,475. The ex-
cess in value of imports over exports
amounts to $29,926,5S4, against
$50, 4O5, ,24S in 1872, showing diff
ference in favor of the past year of
the large sum of $40, O,47S,S44.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS

The certainty of the adjournment
of Congress on the 22nd OF June
has already given a feeling of great
relief to the entire country. 1t is
now probable that no financial bill
will pass, and the certainty of that,
also, would go great way in restor-
ing confidence to the public mind.
If it had been known, three months
ago, that Congress would adjourn
finally in June, without legislating
or the financial question, the Spring
business would have taken an un-
wonted activity. 1t was the uncer-
tainty that prevailed that paralyzed
every branch of industry and CON-
merce.

ROWLAND RETURNED.
The Mansfield Shield and Bonner

The Mansfield Shield and Banner
says:
r. NJ. Rowland, late County Treas
urer of Richland County, returned
home on Sunday night last, and
has since made satisfactory settle
ment with his bondsmen and the
county. He paid over in cash $4s,-
600, and between $35, 900 and $4O,-
600 in cash will be realized from the
$40, 900 assets in the hands OF III.
Dickey, Esq. on the first of June.
The assets not yet realized by Mr..
Dickey consist Of gas stock, pa
per Mill stock and Mansfield Ma
chine Works stock. There are $4,-
900 secured by McVay, Allison&Co'
by mortgage upon real estate; $3,-
600 by Rowland in real estate, and
all his property given up to the
bondholders to make them and the
county safe. $9l, 900 are therefore
made up as good as cash, and the
value of the stocks are estimated al
$4,000. Less than $4,000 remain
to be made up, and if property Sc
cured to the bondsmen be not fore
ed to sale in these depressing times
it is very probable the bOndsmer
will come out safe and whole. Al
all events they will have less thar
81, 900 each to pay.
Judge Dirlam, dismissed all suit!
pending against Rowland and hi
bondsmen, and entered decree
closing all claims of the county
and city against them. The settle
ment seems to be satisfactory t
lparties all round.

RED WINGED CROWS.

They have red-winged crows in
the vicinity of Garrettsville. That
is to say, there is something in the
bird line at Garrettsville that looks
like red-winged crow. The Gar
rettsville Journal announced in q
late number the fact that red
winged crow had been seen near
there. But the next issue of that
paper was frank enough, to say that
the red winged crow was an every
day crow, which young man had
caught, and sewing red flannel on
its wings let it fly again, and the
ornitIologist of Portage Co. were
greatly excited thereat.

There has been a riot in the
French quarter of Shanghai, the Chi
namen attacking the foreigners and
burning several of their houses,
The origin of the trouble was the
action of the French in laying out a
road through a Chinese cemetery.
Suppose a colony of Cinnamon re-
siding in Paris should calmly go to
woak to destroy Partisan cemetery.
Would it be an extraordinary thing
if their conduct led to riot?

LAW RESTRAINING.

The law restraining and regulat-
ing cattle, hogs, ETC., from running
at large is more binding in its pro-
hibitory sense than many people are
probably aware of. According to
its provisions, a field of corn with
out fence or any barrier whatever
around it, is protected as fully as
though it had one built half way to
the moon. Farmers for years have
had great reason for complaints
against town people, and their own
neighbors, for the depredations OF
cattle running at large.

FIGURING UP THE COST OF THE
CENTENNIAL BUILDING

PHILADELPHIA, May 22.-At q
meeting of the Centennial Commits
sion, to-day, the chairman of the Fl
nance Committee reported that the
contracts for the art gallery and
museum will soon be given out.
This will cost 81, 100000, which is
provided for by an appropriation OF
this city and State. The conserva-
tory is to cost 100000, provided
for by the city appropriation, and
the machinery hall will cost $780,
900, also provided for. The main
exhibition building will cost 81, ,000,-
600, and the agricultural hall $780,
600, the two latter being only partly
provided for, which, with the grad
ing and contingencies, make a total
amount unprovided of nearly 50,
100000.
A resolution was presented by
the committee authorizing the abon
donment of the plans for the main
building, and the adoption of a
plan. After some dis u.s.
sion the whole report was recommit-
ted.

NEW MEXICO.

The opposition to the admission
of New Mexico as a State comes
principally from those in Congress,
with the approval of their respective
state gov ernments against further
increase of The United States Sen
ate's members by allowing addition,
al small states to be represented in
that body. There is no little spirit
of jealously prevailing, that the east
is diminishing its power and infu-
ence through the rapid growth OF
the western States and Territories.

THE STORY OF SCHLESFTG - HOL
STEIN.

THE STORY OF SCHLESWIG- HOL-
STEIN.
This question is breaking out again like
chronic case of smallpox. As it is of the high
est Importance that everybody should know
what the SchlesWig-H olstein fuss commenced
about, here it is in a nutshell. Denmark
originally owned the Schleswig province. and
got sWindled out of 1t in some way, some say
through England. This was in 1854, and the
AustTians and Prussians becoming the owners
of it, began to quarrel over their booty, and,
when the fight was over, Austria found herself
bowed down with weight of woe at a place
called SadOwa in 1866. Then Napoleon, through
document which is known by diplomatists As
the treaty Of Prague, induced Prussia to agree
that the Schleswigers should be permitted to
declare their preference for or against snnexa-
ton to Prussia at the polls.
1t is useless to inform our readers of what
they know nothing about, that the Prussisns
have from time to time continued to do nothing
OF the kind. They are said to pay not the
slightest attention to any wishes Of the poor
Schleswigers, but to punish such as continue
to evince desire to adhere to their Danish
nationality. This is hard onthe SehlesWigers,
but perhaps not harder than it is on the
Alsatians, and it is becoming uncommonlT
warm there. The Danes who have continued
to remain Danish have been expelled by the
Prussians, while the Copenhagen Government
has directed its representative at Berlin to ask
for an explanation. In the event of persist
ence on the part of Prussia, Denmark, it is
thought, will proceed to rebaliate by expelling
Germans from the Danieh provinces, and then
the ball will commence and the band will be-
gin to play.
1t is suggested in the English press that
Russia and England will take the part of the
Danes against Prussia, which will allow
France, with her grievances, to come in and
recapture Alsatia and Lorraine and her trsdi-
tons of the Rhine. It is really curious how
so small matter as the possession of petty
province should endangeT the peace of nearly
all Europe, but It is on the cards. If it does
occur some family relationships will be badly
smashed up for a short time. England Is
allied to Russia and Prussia by the closest
personal ties of the reigning royal families,
and the refuge afforded to the man of Sedan,
his widow, and their son, the future Emperor,
will not make France much of an enemy to
England. If it comes to a scramble among
the great Powers, it would seem that Prussia
must be left alone with Austria, and that
Prussia's difficulty will be Frances opportu-
nity.-S. LO1ris Republican.

OLDEN THES.

Who among our eXtravagant young ladies
in these boastful times ever gave her lover, as
Cleopatra did, a pearl dissolved in vinegar Cor
undissolved) worth S4OO,OOO Then there was
Paulina, one of the ton in Rome, who used to
wear jewels when she returned hervisits worth
100000. Cicero, who was comparatively q
poor man in those times, gave 81 500, 600 for
his establishment on the Palatine, while Mes
sala gave $4,000, 600 for the house of Antony.
Seneca, who was just a plain philosopher, was
worth 1920, zoo, 900. Tiberius left property of
nearly $3.50, 900, 900. Cesar and Marc Antony
both owned wonderful fortunes. Why, they
talk about mans failing in New York for a
million dollars as if it were a big thing.
Caesar, before he entered any Office, when
be was a young gentleman in private
life, owed S4,CGO,OO0, and he pur-
chased the friendship of QusesOr for
80, 500, 600. Marc Antony owed 81, 800, 900 on
his Ides of March and paid before the Kalends
of March. This was nothing, he squandered
S72O, 100000 of public money. And these fell
lows lived we'll. Esopus, who was a play
actor, paid 100000 for a single dish. Cali
gula spent 500, 900 on a supper. Their wines
we're often kept for two ages, and some Of
them were sold for twenty dollars an ounce.
Dishes were made of gold and silver, set with
precious stones. The beds of Heliogabulus
were of solid silver, his tables and plates were
of pure gold, and his mattresses, covered with
carpets of cloth and gold, were. stuffed with
down from under the wing Of the partridge.
It took SSo, 900 year to keep. up the dignity
of Roman Senator, and some of them spent
5000, 900 year. And yet we talk about the
extravaganza OF modern times.
