An exchange gives its readers the fol-
lowing sensible advice: .'Don't spend
your money away from home. Buy
your clothes, groceries, farming tools,
everything you need at home. Spend
your money with your friends and neigh
bors, and then all get benefit from it.
It passes from one to another, paying

your money at home, and you viii build

No More Subsidies Or Bountlcs.

Subsidies and bunties Of public lands, mon

OF THE
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
The Leading Newspaper
in the West.
Daily, Tri W ekly 8 Weekly

THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, under the guidance
of its former editor, has resumed its old posi-
ton at the head of Republican journals, and
will do battle in the future for the true princi-
pies of free government, and for a purified and
honest administration of National, State and
Municipal affairs
While giving to the Republican party cor
dial and earnest support in all wise measures
and to all fit candidates, THE TRIBUNE viii new
er be the organ of any individual, faction or
ism, nor will it cease to combat oppressive
monopolies or fail to expose and denounce all
corrupt schemes for plundering the Treasury
or the people, 1t will wage perpetual war on
lobby-rings who prowl around the halls Of leg
islatiOn in quest of spoil.
The Recent Elections.
The recent elections, while intiicting tempo
rary defeat on the Republican party, have done
great good in sweeping away fanaticai and side
issues which embarrassed its freedom of ac-
ton, and in crushing out those baleful and cor
rupting influences known as "Butlerisms,"
which poisoned the channels of the public life.
Purified, as by fire, of the evil things which
had infested its garments, the Republican par
ty will enter upon the tremendous struggle of
1876 with renewed vigor for the possession of
the Government and the shaping of the policy
of the nation VIXEN it enters upon the second
oo,,tJ1ry of IFS eYiSfanca

No RepudEatiOn.

THE TRIBUNE will sternly combat repudia-
ton of public obligations in the form of water
ing Or debasing the currency Orany other guise
it may assume. For every dollar out of which
the publics creditors may be cheated by any
form of currency diiution or Reputation the
people will suffer the loss of hundred which

viii fall like blight on State and Municipal
Governments as well as corporations and
individuals. The national credit must be main
tanned pure and unSullied, and, like the virtue
Of Caesars wife, above suspicion.

Plenty of currency for all the legitimate
wants of the country, with Elasticity as to
quantity, and Stability as to value by convert
Utility into coin. An end should be put to the
continual fluctuations in the value of the cur
rency, which inf1icts incalculable injury on in
duStry and enterprise, as it introduces an ele-
ment OfdOubt and uncertainty into all transac-
tons, and makes business little better than
gambling. It is National disgrace well as
evil for the monetary standing OF values to be
kept in such yascillating and changeable con-
ditiOu.

Perias of the Future.

The Democratic leaders, misinterpreting the
real causes Of their triumph, are proclaiming
the result a reaction of the popular mind
against the principles of the Republican party,
and an Endorsement of the fundamental doc
trine of the Democratic party, which means
Estate Sovereignty and all that expression
includes. When that party obtains possession
of the Government, under the resumed lead
ership Of their Southern right wing, steps will
surely be taken in Congress to refund the cot
ton War tax from the Federal Treasury, prin-
cipal and interest amounting to 800, 600 900 or
more. A bill win be passed to compensate the
Democratic rebels for losses and damages sus-
tanned by them while resisting the Union arm
les and lphOlding the ''SOvereign' State right
of secession. And lastly viii come demand
for the value Of the emancipated slaves, who,
under the doctrine of State Sovereignty, are
alleged to have been unconstitutionally lib
Grated. In the meantime, what will become of
the rights and freedom Of the colOred race thus
placed under the absolute control OF their old
masters? Against those perilS to the future
peace and welfare Of the country all true Re-
publicanS must present a solid front against
the danger.

A member of the French Assembly pro-
poses to levy tax on bachelors. They are
to be compelled to pay eight dollars a head,
and thirty-tive is the age at which dispo-
sition to confirmed celibacy may be consider
ed settled. The revenue to be derived from
this source is supposed to equal two millions
of money. We do not know, OF course, what
may be the feeling of the French bachelor
dom regarding this matter They will prob
ably retaliate by proposing a tax on babies.
The most maligned classes Of persons i'll the
world are undoubtedly bachelors and moth
ers-in-law, and the serious question is sug-
gested: If there We're no mothers-in-law
would there be any bachelors, or wouldn't
every man be his own father? The United
States, from its very name, is a conjugal
country. Aud yet the eligible maidens sigh
for fashions beyond the simple lasts Of their
grandmothcrs; the ineligible lament the friy-
olities of the giddy-headed; the divorce court
is neveridle; and things generally are mixed.
1t will not do to tax bachelors in this Re
public. Levy Il tax on eNtravagant daugh-
tcrs and ambitious manlmas, and bachelors
will soon be as difficult to find us volunteers
during Il military draft.

The Little ROhem ienne.


She sits in the sunshine under the WALL
And the roses red their petals let fall,
With fragrance as fresh and color as rare
AS that they offer the proud lady fair,
Over the little Bohemienne.
She hath travelled from far this summer day,
Through the binding dust and heat of the way;
And her soft lashes lock tired lids Ger eyes
As blue the brightest buebird that flies
over the little bohemenne.
Her cheeks dusty and warm as wine
and her small teeth Whitley through her red lips shine
And her dainty head, with its rose-leaf crown,
Is as he breast of the swallow, nrt-br wn,
Watching the little Bohemienne.
Soiled are her feet AMI all 'tattnred her dress,
Which the sunshine touches with soft caresS;
But she murmurs in sleep, with a careless smile,
Up-tossng her bare, dilnpled arms tho while.
80, lm little Bohemenne!"
And the flowers fall down aud breezes creep
To kiss the young maiden in happy sleep;
To offer her homage Migrants do.
To the queen of the realm of nature, true,
Where roiSns the little Bohemienne.

Beechcr on his Love for Nature.

Oh, let me tell you little bit about
myself once in a while. | wouldn't take all
the books of the AleNandrian library for the
comfort l get out of nature. Nay. | had al
most said, would rather lose my Bible than
my world. There is no sunlight that does
not speak to me of God. | sit down GA the
hillside in the summer afternoon, and the
grasshopper jumps over me treshmanlike,
jumping first and looking where he will
land atterward. | sit SO still that the birds
forget me, and sing as though | was not
there. The ants creep all over m. l am
in fellowship with all. am never so near
to Him. This earth is Il cathedral. whose
windows are painted with rare beauty.
Every day is a leaf in Gods outside Bible. L
did not once enjoy All this, but | owe to
Rnskin more than to any theolo"ian. Eyes
| had, but saw not, ears had, but didn't
hear. l have become Hebrazed. | have
gone back to the noble stock to the people
who learned to discover the invisible God
by the use Of things seen.
