A NEW PRESS.

l. This issue of the DEMocRAr is prin-
ted upon a new, frst-class. three thousand
dollar Cottrell & Babcock printing ma
chine, just made at their factory at Yves.
terly, Rhode Island, and shipped to us
on the 10th inst. The machine arrived at
our depot on Tuesday evening in pieces,
and packed in nine boxes. On We'd
nesday morning these boxes were deliv-
ed at our new building from Seventh ST.,
by T. c. Nighman with his powerful
team, for the weight of the machine is
some twelve thousand pounds. being
double strong. and of course it has all
the modern improvements. Mr.. Camp
bell, a competent gentleman. who has for
years been the travelling man of the
company had been on hand some days
awaiting anxiously the arrival of the ma
chine. He had not been idle so that
everything was in readiness. The ma
chine was quickly set up, and. to-day,
in our new and spacious press room, on
the ground floor, it did its first work by
printing this paper. Messrs. Cottren &
Babcock are fortunate in being repre-
sented by a gentleman with the skill and
energy of MI. Campbell.
The Potter press we have been using
the past seven years. though as good as
ever, lacked capacity to perform what
we require.
In our new. more spacious and com
modious rooms, and with new and much
greater steam power, and with our first
class CottreIl End Babcock and other
printing machines. we expect to be able
to perform promptly and accePtably all
demands for printing in our line.

The above was one of those infamous
cases Of persecution that were so fire.
quent during the war. Mr.. Graham was
rendered insane by the constant alarm
in which he was kept. He fancied, and
quite reasonably, that his life and prop
erty were in danger. In such a state OF
mind he vas bedeviled by a party and
as above related shot and killed two Of
them. Old Jesse Miller, in this town
ship, is another instance of insanity
growing out of persecution. His home
was visited by agang from about Sparta;
his life and those of his family threaten
ed. The excitement proved too much
for Mr., Miller and ever since he has
been insane. His age must now be SO
or more.

Mr.. Dawes and his party have been
running the government for the twelve
years last past and they are wholly re-
sponsible for this state of things. 1t is
one of the results of the general jobbery
and corruption that prevails. The peo-
pie of the United States have been and
are robbed by rings and schemes in all
directions. Is it any wonder we are an
overtaxed people?
The following letter reveals the iniqui-
ties of the system. The extract vas read
in Congress a few days ago. 1t needs
no note or comment D.
"In 1870 Congress passed a law max
ing - and quite a number OF cities IN
the West ports of entry. They had been
ports of delivery for years. A previous
act had made other places ports of en-
try, and all of them were about a dozen.
In March, 1871, Twas appointed apprais-
err of merchandise at this port. This was
a new Office at $4,000 a year. .st /,
"Nhen l received that appointment /
told -, who was my Senator that it
was a sinecure, ] afterward t0Ea me
Secretary of tie Treasury to the same
ClCCl anu Il JCdA d6O III BANoNNh
l informed my other Senator that the
law should be repealed and the Office
abolished. .aJ 5 ,
"Nell, an ofhceholder who expresses
such sentiments about his position is de-
cidedly unpopular in the Republican
party, and IN March last 1 was removed,
for what excuse | have never been in
formed butt presume the charge was
insanity. There could be no charge Of
neglect or incompetency, for no officer
was ever more faithful and diligent in
drawing his salary than / was during
those two years, and absolutely there . a.
nothing else TO do" l..-. ,a'i's.' .y-'
The reading of this brought down the
House and the Republican majority re
seived it with roars of laughter, thinking
it a good joke, and that any such con
scientious fool deserved removall Mr.
Boutwell, was Secretary of the Treasury
when this matter was brought to the no
tee of the department and instead Of
rewarding the honest subordinate the
Secretary removed him-of course for
telling the truth. Is it any wonder we
have financial distress {? H7udt

Mr.. Cox-Iknew that l could not get a
satisfactory reply! When l first read the
item in this bill appropriating $4,000 for
protection against moths in the army, and
when 1 read that $350,O00 had already
been expended for that purpose, l won
dered. in my simplicity, why so much
money should be expended for such pur-
pose, when We might so easily econemize
by selling out our old and questionable
army clothes. CASTING about, in my sim
pie way, l remembered that the only pre-
ventlVe of moths was snuff. Then, as an
economist, / LOGGED up the price Of snuff,
and the tariff on snuff. 1 found the tariff
was fifty cents per pound. Every sneeze
was about a cent, to protect American
manufacture from foreign sueezss.

American children.

Lord Dufferin, in a speech at the Mon
treal Normal school recently said:
confess if there is any criticism which l
have to pass upon the youth Of this new
country-I do not say of Canada espe-
cially, but Of the continent Of America
il is that l have been struck by the abb
sence of the Difference and respect for
those who are older than themselves to
which we still cling in Europe. ! have
observed, il travelling on board the
steamboats, on the st. Lawrence, chill
dren running about from one end to the
other, whom, more than once, | have
been tempted to take up and give good
whipping. have seen them thrust
aside two gentlemen in conversation,
trample on ladies dresses, shoulder
their way about, without thought Of
the inconvenience they were occasion
ing, and, what was more remarkable,
these little thoughtless indscretions did
not seem to attract the attention Of their
parents. When | ventured to make an
observation on this to the people with
whom have been travelling, was always
told that these little pleasing individuals
came from the other side of the line.
Well, only hope that this may be so;
at all events, without inquiring too
strictly how that may be, trust that the
teachers of the schools in Canada will
do their very best to inculcste into their
pupils the duties Of politeness."

IsraeIites and Their National Plat
form of Relief

At the session of the Union of Hebrew
Congregations, held at Cleveland, July
IA, Is and Is, the following resolutions
were adopted:
|. Because we believe with mistaken
faith and frmness in one indivisible and
eternal God; we also believe in the
common fatherhood of God and the
common brotherhood Of men.
2. We glory in the sublime doctrine Of
religion, that the righteous of all ma
tions, without distinction of creed, will
enjoy eternal life and everlasting happi-
ness.
3. The divine command, the sublime
passage of the Bible. Thou shalt love
thy fellow-man as myself" extends to
the entire human family, without dis
tinction of either race or creed.
4. Civil and religious liberty and the
separation of Church and State, are the
inalienable rights of men, and we con-
slider them to be the brightest gems in
the Constitution of the United States.
5. We love and revere this country as
our home and fatherland for US and our
children, and therefore consider it our
paramount duty to sustain and to sup
port the Government, and TO favor by
all means the system of free, unsecta-
rian. education, leaving religious institu-
tions to the care Of the different demon
nations.
6. We expect the universal elevation
and determination of the human family
to be achieved by the natural means of
science, morality freedom, justice and
truth.

The mortality report TOR Charleston,
South Carolina, for the week ending
Sunday, July 10th, is remarkable doc
ument, and contains no explanation Of
the statistics there presented. There
we're fifty one deaths, twelve of white
children, fifteen Of colored adults, TWEEN
ty.four of colored children and none
whatever Of white adults -Four of the
colored children died Of commissions,
three of the colored adults and one col
ored child from consumption and the
remainder of the deaths occurred from
q great variety of diseases, none Of
which gives any explanation Of the
cause Of the remarkable fatality among
the colored as compared with the white
population. Four Of the white children
and only one Of the colored died of
diptheria, and this disease, with con.
sumption and commissions, as before
noted, was the only one occasioning a
total number of deaths exceeding three.
There was not, in 1870, any great differ
ence between the white and colored
population of Charleston-certainly no
such difference as could account for the
different rates of mortality exhibited for
the week quoted The white population
was 22,749. and the colored 26.l7S. The
death rate, on this basis was, for whites
one in 1895, and for the colored one in
go, the mortality among the colored
population being considerably more than
twice az great in proportion as among
the white.
