READ THIS.

The STANDARD has300 more subscribers
than it had one year ago. But we want
to increase the list largely. We have
been to the expense of supplying our
Office with frst-elass power press and
steam engine, and everything else nee
essary to do our work cheaply, rapidly
and well. Most persons who read the
STANDARD for a short time regularly de-
clare they cannot do without it. In
order to get the paper for short time in
the hands of many persons who have not
heretofore read it, we will make the fol
lowing offer, to hold good during the
months of August and September We
will not promise to continue the offer
longer than the ensuing two months
For twenty-five cents we will send the
paper three months. In all cases the cash
must be paid in advance, or credit given
at some one of the furnaces For two
dollars we will send ten copies three
months. There is no postage on the
paper to subscribers who reside in Jack
son county.
If some friend at each of the furnaces
will show this article, and talk a few
werd9 to the men, as occasion may offer
a large club can thus be raised without
much effort

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

We have published the principal part
of the Address of the Republican Con-
gressional Committee, and the great
speech of Senator Morton. We take
pride in placing these important docu-
ments before our readers. We are proud
of the great work that has been accom-
plished by the great and glorious party
with which we have been identified dur
ing the past eighteen years. The Demo
cratic and Independent papers are all
the time crying out that the past should
be ignored-forgotten. No wonder that
a party whose only principles for the
past twenty years have been, to use the
language of its last candidate for Presi-
dent, 'to love rum and hate niggers"
should desire to blot out its record. If
it would bring forth fruits meet for re-
pentance it might in time, to some
party covered all over with treason, and
the blood of million men, and a ma
tional debt of three thousand million
dollars, can never entirely blot out its
record, even with the aid of all the Gin
dependent" papers, and all the thieves
and rascals kicked out of the Republi-
can party.
But the Democrats Liberals and Inde-
pendents cry aloud that the Republican
party has become corrupt, and must be
put out of power. That is a false charge.
The Republican party purges itself of its
unworthy members. Where now are
the Republican salary thieves? Not one
of them could be elected to the Office of
Coroner by Republicans. They are dis
graced, despised and ruined men.
As well might religious men say that
the church must be put down because
bad men get into it. as to say that the
Republican party should be put out of
power because few of its trusted men
became thieves. Are not the great mass
of the good men and women of the land
members of church, and is not the work
of the church for the glory of God and
the bettering of the condition of man.
kind2 Are not the great body of the
pure and good, members of the Republi-
can party, and has NOT the work of the
party been for the good of mankind?
Shall party with such a record be
destroyed, and party with such record
as that of the Democracy be trusted
God forbid.
Let every Republican stand by his
party Its mission is not ended. Treason
and hatred of the colored race are ram
pant in the South, and growing more
impudent every day.
Stand by the party of freedom, justice
and progress, and war against the party
of prejudice, treason and rebellion Stand
by the glorious Republican party.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
BY THE EDITOR.


What strange thing is sleep. Many
wise and learned men have attempted to
explain it, but they have failed. Some
claim that the soul never sleeps, and
that during sleep there is one continuous
dream, only we often cannot remember
our dreams when we awake. This will
scarcely do. Our dreams are often so
unmeaning and foolish, that to attribute
them to an active, living soul, is as ridicu-
lous as the table-tipping of the spiritual
lists
The better opinion now is that in
sound, healthy sleep, there are no dreams,
but that, so far as the soul, or mind is
concerned, there is complete oblivion, or
temporary death. An eminent English
poet once spoke of sleep as
sDead Oblivion,
L never could tell when I went to sleep.
Is it so with others l have often watch
ed for its coming, but it always took me
unawares. 1 think it is so in death 1
think if it were possible to bring one
back from the dead he would deny that
he had been dead, and would claim that
he had only been asleep.
Last Sunday night thought would
write this article on Monday morning,
and l thought l would watch, and for
once see if l could tell just when got to
sleep. lay thinking about it, and con-
templating that death will be sure, and
to me, now certain to be at no distant
day. I wondered how it would come in
my case. Most probably from heart dis
ease, without a moments warning, as my
mother died. In that case I would be in
my full senses to the final moment, and
so would watch this time, and see if
could mark the place where waking ac
tive thinking ceased, and dreams set in
and thus have some idea of death itself
While thus thinking, wakeful as hao
been all day, heard noise-confuseo
at first, but in moment 1 heard dis
tinctly the clock just finishing striking
eleven. l had been in sound sleep
without the slightest remembrance O.
any dream, for the space of nearly ar
hour. But had no recollection of any
state of semi-unconsciousness, between
wakefulness and total Inconsistencies
Is it so with all persons Is it the case
in sickness as well as in full health?

PERSONAL RECOLLECTIoNs,
BY THE EDITOR.

Aunt Polly Seel died last week, at the
residence. of her son, Peter Seel, in Mad
ison township. Mrs. Seel was eighty
seven years of age, and had resided in
Jefferson township for more than sixty
years. Her late husband, Peter Seel,
told me that he paid the first tax that
was ever paid in Jefferson township.
The amount was twenty-five cents, and
was paid in the year 1874 two years be-
fore the organization of Jackson county,
and three years before the town of Jack
son was surveyed. Jefferson township
was then bowling wilderness, bears,
wolves and deer being abundant
Mrs. Seel was native of Virginia and
her maiden name was Sly. AS speci-
men of physical womanhood, she ap-
preached perfection. Large, well pro-
portioned and remarkably healthy and
handsome, it is extremely rare now to
see such woman as Aunt Polly Seel was
fifty years ago. I was well acquainted
with one of her brothers, George Sly,
who was regarded as one of the finest
specimens of men who ever resided in
our county. He was not only large, well
proportioned and handsome, but he was
model of politeness and gentlemanly
department.
was much about the house of Mr..
and Mrs Seel when l was a boy. A
warm friendship existed between our
families, partly because my father and
Mr.. Seel were both Germans, and also
because they had been acquainted in
Virginia Mrs. Seel always appeared
more like mother to me than like a
neighbor. No people could be more hos
pitable and kind than the Seel family
| always felt that was welcome when at
their house. 1t is difficult to deceive a
child by hypocrisy Mrs. Seel's hospital
ity was from the kindness of her heart,
and not through any scheming or selfish
policy cannot sum up her character
better than to say she was good chris
tian woman.
Mrs. Seel's children were Betsey, Kate,
Nancy, Anne, George, John, Francis, Pc

We have received printed slip, re
questing US to copy, stating that on the
10Th of this month the Scioto Valley
camp-meetings will commence, but there
is no indication where this is to take
place. 1t may be anywhere between
Portsmouth and Columbus. We think
it is kind of advertising dodge, as one
man is advertised as going to sell a great
many things. 1t says:
He will have the best cooks, attendants, pro-
visions, groceries, confectiOnerieS and supplies
of all kinds, for both man and beast that can
be secured and kept on campground But he
will not sell on the Sabbath day any tobacco,
cigars, candies, nuts, or any thing but what is
absolutely a necessity. He will prepare and
accommodate all who may come with boarding,
lodgings, meals, or lunch, and grain and hay for
horses.
From all which we infer that he will
sell cigars during every week day. Now
If they are going through the mockery of
pretending to worship God through a
sinking cloud of tobacco smoke, we are
not in.

The Cincinnati Gazette got aman nam
ed Boyhton to preach a sermon in favor
of license 1t published this curious ser
mon with much rejoicing. Hon. c. w.
Rowland answered this sermon, conclud-
ing as follows:
Read the license clause, and you will see that
every man who votes for 1t admits, IN the very
terms of the proposition which permit COM
pensation for damages resulting from the
traffic, that he is voting permission to license
business from which damages and evils result.
He can vote for license without this admission.
And who doubts that it is a business fraught
with more evil consequences than all others
combined? 1t has more victims than war, pes
| thence and famine combined; it has made the
earth "wet with tears and white with tombS. :"
Were all the innocent blood which it has shed
collected in one body, it would the multitudin-
Gus seas incarnadine, making the green one
red.'' 1t fills prisons, alnashOuses and insane
asylums; it makes widows and orphans and
brings poverty and shame to millions of our
people. And yet this business demands license.
To grant a license is for the State to mortgage
the health and morals of the people for the
paltry sum which saloonists are willing to pay
for the paltry privilege of dealing out to their
fellows 1'liquid death and distilled damnation,''
| at enormous profits. They want to be armed
with authority of law to conduct their business,
and to this extent give it respectability that
it can't have where it is, made unlawful. Are
you wiling, for the small revenue proposed, to
set the seal of the Stately which she pledges
her resources and her hOnor-to an instrument
granting to any citizen the authority to trans
act such q business? If it must exist, let it do
so without our legal consent. Keep it under
the ban of law. If it be a useful or necessary
business, it needs no license and ought not to
submit to the imposition of any. If it be re-
spectacle, let it come from behind its masks
and let the people see It'll The whole argument
ency. it has no foundation in reason morals.
License has never. done any good. 1t IS per
upon it the seal of your eternal condemnation
by voting "No License"

OLD JOHN ROBINSON.

This veteran manager will give two
grand exhibitions in our town on
Wednesday, August 26, 1874. We clip
the following from one of our exchanges
A vast and appreciating audience again filled
the mammoth pavilion last evening. The
show is undoubtedly one OF the best ever wit
messed in this city. 1t is impossible to give an
elaborate description of the manifold attrac-
tions of this establishment, but it is properto
say here, that the exhibition is the very best
that has ever been offered the people of this
vicinity. Outside the attractions OF the circus
performance, is amenagerie in which very rare
animals are presented to public view, and In
the same department are number OF curiosi-
ties, collected at great expense. The mana

We intended this week to call atten-
ton to the address of the Liquor Dealers,
as published in the Columbus Journal,
but we have not space to notice it further
than to say thatit is queer document.
1t claims that the liquor business is the
main prop of the Government, and pays
a large part of the taxes; and says:
From these figures it will be seen that seventy
five per cent. OF the internal revenue paid into
the treasury Of the general goxernlnenfb by the
state of Ohio is derived from these two single
Now, the most stupid can see that if this vast
sum was levied as direct tax upon the people
than these two, our people would become hope
lessiy bankrupt in a single year.
And further along comes in the funny
part, where it says:
The most fatal results to society and domestic
happiness from dram drinking arise from the
longer resort 70 public houses for their drinks,
iI p1I thsy puy their liquor by the gallon and
