Every Republican, before he casts
his vote, should consider whether the
interests of the country would be bet
tered by change from our present
financial system to that proposed by
John 8. Savage, the Democratic can.
didate for Congress, and tho Demo
cratic platform Of this State. Would
il be better 70 abandon our present
financial system, (ths best we ever had J
for that is the proposition of Mr..
SavAge-andP place it under the control
and mercy Of political parties, to b'
used 40 a Measure 60 obtain political
control. That is just what it would
be ae every election; that is just what
the Democratic financial party would
result in. Supplying q great big ma.
chine, in the hands Of a political par
ty, to be nsed in it's own interests, just
whenever the leaders demanded It's aiG

The Gift Concerts in aid of the
Kentucky Library are not at all spec
uIative. The institution is chartered
by the State of Kentucky, and every
dollar of the profits goes to the build
ing up of the best Library in the Uni
ted States. The first prize in the next
drawing, which takes place Nov. 31st,
is $250,000. 1t is reliable institu
ton, and some one will get that mon
ey. And that there may be no doubt
as to the honesty of its management
we cite the fact that the best banks in
Louisville endorse it, and that 6 Ov-
ernor Thomas E. Bramlette, of Lou
isville, is the general manager. An in
stitution so fathered is certainly de-
serving of confidence.

Our neighbors of the Register
don't seem to like our temperance
principles nor our advocacy of them.
It is not to be expected that the advo-
Gates of the liquor traffic would be in
favor of the restrictive policy, nor OF
temperance; hence, we are not sur.
prised at the anti-temperance policy
of the Register. The Register men
undoubtedly understand by this time
that we are neither ashamed nor
afraid to advocate temperance and
the restraint Of all that can intoxicate.
We fail to see anything wrong in this
policy, and feel pretty certain that if
all persons were, practically, free
from the use ofall intoxicanting drinks
our poor-houses and prisons would
be relieved of more than half their
miserable inmates, and that crime
would be reduced in our country nine
tenths of its present alarming magni-
tude. In view, gentle friends of the
Register, of all the Wickedness ano
crime resulting from the use of intox
icating drinks, is there not good cause
for every philanthropist to use his
best efforts to discourage the sale and
use of the prime cause of largely the
greater portion of this widespread
curse? We advocate temperance be
cause we believe it to be better an(
more humane than intemperance. W.
suppose the Register men give th'
weight of their influence to the re
verse of this because they think it better
than temperance. We have no apollo
gies to make for our stand on the TEN
perance question.

Venerable Minister.

A Worthington contributor to the

Sabbath Rev Mr. Cowen, of Urbana

five years ago he was the regular pas
tor of this Church. Not one present

arately, taking money and Watches
The ladies were not disturbed. After
getting through, the driver was order
ed to put out his lights and unhitch his
horses. This done, one man was left
to guard the party and the other three

ed for the next stage, and the remain
ing ones were met and gone through
in the same manner. Several invalids

is true:
Mr.. j. Q. Smith, Republican candi-

- The Republicans of the Second
district, in Hamilton county, have
nominated Hon. Job Stevenson as
their candidate for Congress. Before
entering the campaign Mr.. Stevenson
addressed a note to Hon. Mr.. Banning,
the Democratic candidate, to enter in
to joint canvass and discussion of the
questions at issue. Banning, know
ing his inability to contest with Ste
veRsOn from the same stand, declined
the invitation, under the trite old max
inn, that "discretiOn is the better part

an election is of the most fiatt erina

They Try to Make the People Be
lieVe q Lie.

The Democratic orators and editors
of Ohio are trying to make the people
'believe lie that they may be damned
They are trying to make them believe
that through Republican management,
the country is on the verge of bank
ruptcy; that there is no money in the
country, and that every branch of bus
mess is depressed and ruin stares ev
cry business man in the face; that
prices are ruinously low, etc.
Now, before you believe these dole
full tales, just stop and look around
and see whether they are true. Some
men are in debt, and there never was a
time when this state of things did not
exist, and it is probable there never
will be su ch a time until the Millennium
day comes. There is not an article the
farmer has to sell but what brings a
fair price in cash, and there is plenty
of money to buy everything a man
has to sell at fair price. Money is
scarce with many of US simply because
we have nothing to exchange for it.
There is a mean purpose in this per-
petuaI outcry about hard times and the
scarcity of money by the Democrats
and grumblers. It is to make the peo
pie believe that they are on the brink
of starvation, and that the Republican
party is to blame for it. Upon this
false hypothesis the Republican party
must be put out of power and the
Democratic party put in. That is the
secret of the outcry of ruin, bankrupt.
cy, etc, by the outs, and that is why
we say they try to make the people
believe lie that they may be damned,
for the experience of the country
during the latter part of Democratic
rule in this country, was equivalent to
being damned, and we have nothing
better to expect of them now, should
they be restored to the power they
abused.

AdmOnitiOn to National Banks
WASHINGTON. Sent D.

The Comptroller of the Currency
having recently ascertained through
reports of examiners of National
banks that certain National banks are
in the habit of drawing drafts on their
correspondents in New York, at sixty
or ninety days date, acceptance waived,
has advised these institutions that
such issues are violations of sectien
90 of the National Bank act, which
prohibits the issue of such notes.
Such transactions subject the National
bank to forfeiture of it's charter, un-
der section SO of the National Bank
act, and it is the intention of the
Comptroller to commence proceedings
if necessary, to prevent such practice.
Other National banks are in the habit
of furnishing their depositors with
checks drawn one day after date, in
stead of on demand, for the purpose
of evading the internal revenue law
requiring a two cent Stamp to be aflix-
ed to such check. The Comptroller
will ask for an amendment to the act
which will prevent such abuses.
