The Gallipolis, McAfthur Logan and
Circleville papers, have much to say
about railroad now under process of
construction from Gallipolis through
Macarthur, to Columbus This company,
like most railroad companies, need
money more than anything else. Some
of the stockholders have been working
on the road to pay their installments.
We suppose the company will have done
well if they can raise means to get the
road graded, the bridging done, and the
ties laid down. Then they will be about
half done getting railroad. They must
have iron and rolling stock. In former
times the company could have mort
gagged the road to get noeans to put down
the iron and stock the road. Now that
is impossible The papers above men
toned, blind as bats in the sunlight, have
been lending their aid to the Grange vii
lainy. No man who has sense enough to
keep out of lunatic asylum, will loan a
dollar to railroad company now.
The Galiipolis and Macarthur road will
not be finished in the next twenty years,

The New York Tribune closes an edito-
rial about the recent Granger railroad
decision as follows;
1t would be useless to speculate upon
the consequences of decision which is
not final. There is fair prospect that
the arguments may be heard at the Octo-
Der term of the Supreme Court, and
meanwhile it is understood that there
will be no vexatious prosecutions for
penalties. But it is impossible to con-
template without uneasiness the opening
scenes of this conflict between two blindly
embittered parties who ought to be close
friends and allies. If the Potter law is
to stand, the railroads of course are at
the mercy of an angry and excited ad-
versary, and ruin stares them in the face.
No capitalist will trust his money in an
enterprise whose profits may at any time
be swept away by the act of legislators
who have no interest in his fortunes and
no special knowledge of his business
Whatever may become of the owners of
the existing roads, no further develop
ment of the railway system of Wisconsin
can be expected under the present state
of things. and the farmers will have no
better facilities for getting to market
than they possess already. But it is not
to be supposed that the railway compa-
nies will surrender their property with
out struggle, and if they cannot beat
the Commissioners in the courts, they
will put their money into local politics,
with the same result which we saw in
New York under the old directory of
Erie. The Potter law makes the owner
ship of certain number of members of
the Legislature as necessary to railroad
company as rolling stock

of August Some one must print the
tickets, some one must pay for them, and
the question is, who is able OF willing to

Democratic or Republican party will stir
in the matter in political way, hence
it Is necessary to know where our tickets

nothing will be done. Will some one

"The colored population, especially
the voting part of it, will hardly fail to
understand who throttled the Civil Rights
Bill, which was always treated as a piece
of empty sentimentalism, except by
Sumner, and never intended to be made
operative. Fred Douglas is now advising
his brethren at the South to vote against
the white Republicans of that section
who refused their support to the Bill
1t appears they don t need this advice as
they had made up their mind to do that
same thing"
The above is from the Marietta Times,
and is bid for negro votes. The Times
insinuates the lie that the Democrats
favored the Civil Rights Bill Every
Democrat in the House voted against it,
while all the Republicans save fourteen
from the South, voted for it. The four
teen recreant Republicans ought to be
defeated.

DEATH OF COL. STANLEY.

We notice a dispatch in the Cincinnati
July Sth. stating that Col. T. R. Stanley
is dead
We first heard of Timothy r. Stanley
about the year 1916, when he was mem
Der of the Ohio Senate from Lawrence
county. In the fall Of IS4T he removed
to Jackson, where he engaged in the
practice of the law The writer of this
became acquainted with him at that time,
and read law with him during the sue
ceeding two years. In lS4S, and 1850,
he was elected Prosecuting Attorney of
jackson county, over Levi DUNCAN. In
1858 Eagle Furnace company was organ
lied, and Mr.. Stanley taking stock, was
chosen manager, and removed to the
Furnace. After a time he went to Nc
Arthur, where he engaged in the prac-
tice of the law, and remained until the
war broke out, when he was appointed
Colonel of the 18th o. V. l., and served
in West Virginia. When the three
months service expired he re-organized
the Regiment for three years. and went
into the field as Colonel. He was brave
and efficient officer, and his conduct in
battle won him the promotion of General
by breyet He commanded as General
during a considerable part of his ser
vice
We should have mentioned that Mr.
| Stanley served as State Sanatar from the
Vinton county district after his removal
to Macarthur. He took an active part in
politics, being Wing. and after the dis
banding of that party, he was a Republi
can.
After the war Col Stanley removed tc
Chattanooga, where he engaged in bank
ing. His wife and daughter died aftel
he went south. He again married. Rev
T. w. Stanley of Portsmouth is his oldes
SON.
Col. Stanley was member of the NJ
E. Church, and jealous worker in ever,
reform. He was active in favor of Sab
bath Schools, temperance, freedom, &c
He took an active part in the campaign
in favor of the vote for our railroad
The files of the STANDARD twenty-fv,
years ago show that Mr.. Stanley was on
of the leading citizens at that time.
He was over go years of age at tn
time of his death

Persons who attended the editorial
convention in jackson three years ago
will remember J. j.. Piatt, who repre-
Piatt resides in Cleves township, near
Cincinnati, but he is most of his time at
Washington City. He came home to
spend the Fourth of July. His little
son, ten or twelve years of age, had a
vial of gunpowder, which in some way
was exploded. A piece of the glass
struck the boy on the neck, cutting the
jugular vein, and he bled to death in a
few minutes.

For several weeks past we have been
disgusted with the silly stuff about SEN
ator Sherman's action in the matter of
newspaper postage This has been con-
fined principally to the mean mendi-
cants, the city papers. We are sorry to
see that some of the rural cocks have
also acted the fool in this matter, as wit
ness the following, from the Bro0n County
Ne,cs
John Sherman, one of Ohio's Q. s.
Senators, tried to get tax of four cents
Sherman has certainly desperate spite
against newspapers. He wants them
abolished, and so he is working to tax
them out of existence. Sherman works
for the Banks and money sharks, and
the papers tell the people of his rascali-
ties, and of course he hates the papers
for doing so. If Grant and his cronies
hold power much longer, there will be
no free press in this country any more
than there is in Austria or Russia.
Senator Sherman's proposition of four
cents per pound would be the
same as the present postage on the
large city papers, and it would materially
reduce it on the smaller country papers.
The talk about that destroying the pa
pers is the veriest twaddle, and any pa
per with the least self respect should be
ashamed of such utterances.

The Grand Jury of Hamilton county
have performed wonderful exploit.
There are said to be at least two thousand
doggeries in Cincinnati alone, where in
toxicating liquors are sold in violation of
law every day in the week, Sunday in
cluded. Well, this Grand Jury, actually
found four indictments against liquor
sellersl This is wonderful progress for
that place. What the Court will do with
these cases is an unsolved problem. The
Gazette recently held that because the
law against selling liquor is not enforced
in Hamilton county, that therefore there
is no such law. We shall see whether
the Judges of the Common Pleas are as
great rascals as the big Police Judge.

Since we wrote the notice of Colonel
Stanley's death we have received q copy
of the Chattanooga Daily Commercial, con-
tanning an obituary notice, from which
we take the following extracts:
General T. R. Stanley was born near
Hartford, Connecticut May IA, 1910, and
emigrated, with his parents, to Marietta,
Ohio. in 1915. Upon the early death of
his father he began life for himself and
obtained such discipline as strengthened
his future character y
"When the war was over he established
the law firm of Stanley, Henderson &
Wheeler, now Wheeler & Marshall,
which dates early in 1865. Later in

The Indiana Republican Convention
resolved in favor of a stringent license
law with local option. The Ohio Repub-
licans will take the same ground.-Cin-
cinuati Gazette.
We know few who will not take that
ground, and if the State Convention
shall take that ground we are out of the
fight for the party for once. That kind
of resolution by the Republican State
Convention would defeat the party by
,000.-JackSon Standard.
Bro. Mackley, your hand on that
Marietta Register.
If a clique of the State Convention OF
the Republicans of Ohio undertake to
and do force through a resolution in fa-
vor of license, they will kill it as effect
ually as the Whig party was killed by an
attempt to carry freedom on one shoul-
der and slavery on the other. The vast
majority of the Wing party were moral,
high-toned lovers of right and justice,
and it was. the few trimmers for office
who destroyed the purest party this
country ever knew.-Pike County Repub-
EcaR.
We fear the Republican State Conven-
ton will not have the moral courage to
do right. The party now has to take
whatever odium may be attached to the
cause of temperance. The whisky men
are mostly on the other side, while hosts
of the best temperance men are luke
warm, because of the cowardice of the
party leaders. Let the partysnet fear to
become the champion Of temperance,
and it will succeed, as it did when free
dom and justice were spread upon its
banners

Nearly year ago we predicted what
would be the result of the organized
effort to crush the great railroad inter
ests of the country. Not another paper
in the United States, that we have seen,
appeared to see the danger. Now, that
the results are coming plainly into view,
the great (?) city dailies are beginning to
wake up. We publish this week an arti-
Gle from the N. Y. Times, and an edito-
rial from the Tribune. Here is another

b,unt way of telling the truth when an
swering questions, which we admire, as
for Instance, the following:
W. G. v. N. asks: l. How is mesmer-
ism explained? A. By the well known
facility with which ignorant and credu-
lous people can be made the victims of
charlatans. 2 Does it have an injurious
effect on those who are operated upon
A. Yes, by allowing themselves to be
deceived. 8. There has been fellow
around who claims to have power to
control which is not mesmerism, but he
calls it animal magnetism and ''mesmer-
ism improved" Is it not mesmerism2
A. They are both humbug.
