Portsmouth Globe.
Every town and city must submit to
some evils, more or less We feel thank
full here that we have not Mayor and
police force who happen to be present
when a woman is sent to assault man,
because the men are too cowardly to do
their own fighting. We are thankful
that our Mayor and police regard their
oath of Office and arrest violators of the
law when they are present. How is it
in Portsmouth? Has your Mayor ever
explained why he, or his police force
which happened () to be present when a
virago 1--WE will not insult the sex by call
ing her woman) assaulted a man, did

WHAT TO DO NOW.

Take up any Republican paper, and
it will tell you there need be no fears for
our good old party-that there is plenty
of time to redeem itself yet, before the
next Presidential election; all that is need
ed is a decided policy, DC. But what shall
that policy be? Take up the financial
question, and just about one half of the
papers, leading politicians, and one half
of the voters, firmly believe that the only
salvation of the country depends upon
the speedy resumption of specie pay
ments, whatever they may mean or
understand by that The other half of
the papers, politicians and voters of the
party just as firmly believe that such a
policy would ruin the debtor class of the
country, cause universal bankruptcy and
ruin, and would only result in benefit to
the creditor class, and those who have
money to loan.
Take the tariff question. Nearly all
the Republican papers, except portion
of the country press, are opposed to a
protective tariff, while the politicians are
pretty well divided and the mass of the
voters are largely in favor of protective
tariff
Now how is the party to adopt policy
upon these questions? 1t cannot be
done. 1t is simply impossible.
The Democratic party is in much the
same condition. We see little comfort
in that fact. And then the Democratic
party has infinitely the advantage over
US in this, that it matters not what poll
cy the party may adopt, or whether il
has any policy whatever, the great mass
of its rank and fle-its organized ignor
ance if you please, will blindly vote the
ticket Witness its vote two years age
for Horace Greeley and "nigger equality y
and its vote this fall for return to sla
very. Greeley openly advocated the ed
ucation of white and black children in
the same schools, and this mass of ig
norance voted for him; the Civil Rights
Bill only renders such thing possible
and yet the whole mass of the party was
furious against this just law. Each indi
vidual Republican thinks and acts fol
himself-has his own policy-is his OWL
leader.
Now what can be done to unite anc
save the party? We do not know
There may be division of the Republi
can party on these questions, but the
Democracy will not divide to any grea
extent upon these questions. At the re
cent elections the Democratic party il
Ohio considered its great victory to be
triumph of the principle of more pape
money, while in New York it regards i
as the success OF contraction and speci
payments. And the party from Main
to Texas shouts over the success of tn
party. 1t is great "Dimmicrat" victory
That is all this mass of ignorance knows
and all it wants to know about it.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
By THE EDITOR.

remarked last week that the geology
of the Black Fork of Symmes Creek had
been an interesting study to me. Long
before read that great work, Lyelps
Geology, had been studying the hills
and streams in jefferson township with
much interest.
I spoke of the very crooked course of
the Black Fork. One of the most inter-
esting points on this creek is what was
formerly known as the Grassy Beaver
Pond, and Maple Swamp" A short dis
tance below Jefferson Furnace the creek
starts nearly due south, and is nearly
straight for three-fourths of a mile.
Here it struck nearly squarely against a
high hill, which whirled it around the
hill nearly due west, where it struck a
hill on the right, and the water was
thrown south again. Where it struck
the first hill it cut its way until bot
tom of more than thirty acres was formed
This bottom was free of trees, and was
covered with grass and rushes There
were patches of wild rose bushes
and at the western part large quantities
of blackberry briars. When the creek
turned west and struck the hill on the
opposite side, it cut out another bottom
of nearly the same size. This bottom
was much lower and more swampy than
the Grassy Beaver Pond, and it was COM
pletely filed with very large maple

We have always held that smoking
cigars was bad business Now listen.
Last Sunday the Office of the American
Express Company in Cincinnati was left
in charge of man named Charles Moody.
One Abe Monroe, lame man who had
once been in the employ of the
Company entered, and he told
Moody that he would like smoke.
Moody had no cigars. They gambled for
cigars and Moody lost He went across
the street to get the cigars, and while he
was gone two men drove up in a shabby
old wagon, took out an old trunk and
carried it into the office, took a small
safe, containing seventy thousand dollars
and put it into the trunk, and left.
Moody came back, and while he and
Monroe smoked the cigars the two men
came for the trunk, saying they had
made mistake, and should have taken
it to the Office of the Adams Express Co.
They picked it up and carried it out, put
it in their old wagon and drove off. Now
there is great exertion made to recover
the money. Good enough for the Com
pany. They might have known that
they would suffer, when they employed a
man who smoked

Murder in Cincinnati is no uncommon
occurrence; but there was murder COM
mitted in that city week ago last Satur-
day night, attended with such fendish
atrocity, that accounts of it have occupied
large space in the city papers.
Herman Schilling was a German who
worked in Freiberg's tannery. He had
seduced daughter of one Andreas Egner
Egner and his son Fred, boy seventeen
years of age, attacked Schilling and beat
him some time ago. At the time of the
murder Egner and his son and one Geo.
Rufer went into the tannery and waited
for the arrival of Schilling, and when he
came they attacked him with a large
pitchfork and killed him, and put his
body in the fiue of furnace, where it
was mostly consumed. When arrested
they all denied any knowledge of the
murder, but Rufer and young Egner have
made confessions. Their stories do not
agree, Egner has been keeping beer
saloon near the tannery. Rufer had
been drinking wine and beer the night
of the murder.

up means sufficient to withstand finan-
cial reverse of many years standing
The seven years of plenty in Egypt en-
abled that country to remain prosperous
during seven years of famine, and there
was grain enough to supply surrounding
nations. If the Egyptians, instead of
storing away their grain for the wants of
| the future, had made it into whisky, and
the people gone to drinking and loa6ng,
they would all have starved when the
famine came upon them
The people of this country have be-
come so extravsgant that there is danger
Of real distress. A man will spend as
much for tobacco, beer and whisky, as
would have decently supported small
family thirty years ago, and a woman
will spend as much upon dress as
would have supported very large family
thirty years ago. Then a five dol
lar bonnet once a year was considered
extrsyagant. Now a ten dollar bonnet
four times a year is not up with the
times. Then eight yards or calico, cost
ing one dollar, was considered good
dress Now it takes thirty yards o.
goods, costing thirty dollars, and fifteer
dollars worth of trimming, and ten dol
lars for making up.

We would regret to say word to dis
courage railroad subscriptions. What is
needed to build railroads is money, and
it takes so much money to build roads
that few are built without aid from the
public-that is, either lands or money
appropriated by the General Govern
ment, State Government, counties, cities
or towns. This, in our Judgment, is the
only equitable, feasible mode of raising
means to build roads, by which all are
benefited. But in Ohio we are forbidden
by the State constitution to thus receive
aid and we must look to private sub
scriptions to raise means to build roads.
And then comes the fact staring us in
the face that great and growing organi
zation exists, whose leading idea is that
capital invested in railroads should be
seized and confscated Under these cir
cumstances we think the prospect fol
new and important railroad enterprises
in Ohio is not fattering.
