Such scenes would be rare nowadays; private
economy scarcely permits them to be. The par
rcDu who has buBlneas with the Department is
prolific with temptations and presents. The
official is aseailed by the eocial aspiration at

all, the society which tempts him to the e1trav-

The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1874-02-26

The following from the Brown County
Nesos, is only specimen of what we find
in nearly all of our exchanges:
As a journalist, we consider it our duty
to give the current news of the day, es
pecially in reference to occurring circum-
stances round about US, which we shall
now do without fear, favor or reward.
Well, the women of Georgetown have
continued singing and praying for two
weeks, and boarding lions in their own
strong-holds. King Alcohol has been
made to tremble oft and again. Women
who had been members of churches for
years, whose voices were ne err heard in
audible prayer therein, were bold when
asked to pray in presence of saloon keep
ers. The delicate and bashful lady who
would tremble like an aspen leaf if asked
to lead in prayer in little social prayer
meeting, became as bold as Luther before
the Diet of Worms, or as Paul pleading
before Agrippa. These saloon prayer
meetings have wrought wonders in bring
ing to the front these delicate feminines,
and we would add scripture saying for
their encouragement, which, as near as
we can remember it, is about this: "Open
your mouths and they shall be filled.
This, however, to a woman may be con-
sidered surplusage advice.
Orators once swayed the destinies OF
nations; the public speaker moulded the
sentiments of the people and made their
laws; Pericles and Demosthenes were the
mind and soul of Athens. But not SO
now. Weak, tender, lovely woman now
sways public opinion; she forms the laws
gives tone and temper to public actions
is the soul and mind of America
especially of Georgetown.

"The financial problems that are now
before the people have been under dis
cussion by the Board of Trade here, and
much interest has been manifested. The
general verdict seems to be in favor of
letting the currency be Just where it is
At meeting of the board, last Monday
evening. Hon. Ralph Leete introduced a
resolution, and supported it by a speech
in favor of a purely credit currency. Of
course his arguments for such an absurd
theory were mere wind bags
We find the above in one of the Iron
ton papers. Mr. Leete is right Nopeo-
pie but the rudest savages ever think of
using gold, silver. iron, glass, leather or
wampum as currency. There is thous-
and times more intrinsic value in a bush
ell of corn than there is in gold or sill
yer dollar. Yet who would ever think
of making corn the currency of the coun
try? 1t might be said that there is too
much bulk in corn. The same applies to
silver. Bankers and business men, when
gold and silver were in circulation, never
thought of using it to any considerable
extent A simple piece of paper, signed
by the bank officer was used.
The only fault we found with Mr.
Bundys speech, was his admission that il
would eyer be expedient to get back tc
specie payments. Let the Government
say that piece of paper is dollar, ant
it is dollar. This has been tested fol
ten years, and proved success.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1874-02-26

O. B. Chapman, editor of the Pomeroy
Telegraph, is a member of the Ohio Legis-
lature, and writing home to his paper
about the woman crusade, and temper
ance generally, says;
The liquor sellers, who have so long
disregarded all warnings, and continued
to sell liquor indiscriminately to mere
boys as well as habitual drunkards, can
thank themselves for all this; and if the
storm of indignation their conduct has
aroused sometimes disregards and over
whelms private rights it is no more than
they had a right to expect. Rejecting
persons have long foreseen and predicted
popular uprising against the liquor
traffic on account of its awful abuses,
and if it las not come in the exact form
expected, it is none the less welcome on
that account.
l understand that the majority of the
Temperance Committee in the House will
report in favor of modifying the Adair
law so as to require ta0o notices to be given
to each liquor seller not to sell to party,
before an action for damages can be
maintained 1t will not, however, pass
the House in that form. There may
possibly be some modification of the law
but none l think that will impair its eff
cheney The Democratic members from
the rural districts have considerable re-
gard for the temperance sentiments OF
| their constituents So far as Republi.
cans are concerned, l know of but one
who is in favor of any material change in
the law. This was as much the state oi
the case before this temperance excite
ment began as now.
