corrupt-which seems happily left the
material of both parties pure for a
new party-their management was in
the hands of old Democratic opera

4 Huge Democratic Joke.

At the Democratic County Con-
vention, of Franklin County, held
here last Saturday week resolu-
tion was passed endorsing the
course of Mr.. Holman in Congress,
and instructipg delegates to sup
port him in convention for renom-
ination. In the District Convention
last Wednesday, with Mr. Holman's
county attached to Franklin, reso-
lutions we're offered by an aspirant
for Congressional honors, and were
adopted as follows:
Resolved, That the veto of the
President, of the Currency bill was
in direct antagonism to the interest
of the people, and merits our entire
disapprobation.
Resolved. That we will vote for
no man for Representative in either
State or National legislature who
approves or endorses this veto"
As Mr.. Holman voted against the
bill, and supported the President
in his veto of the bill we suppose
Mr.. Holman will not get the sup
port of the ''unterrified" in Frank
lin county IT is about the hugest
joke that has been perpetrated, and
we suppose it will be of personal
interest to AIr. Holman.-Brook-

The first instance on record of
the human voice coming out victo-
rious in contest with steam
whistle occurred the other day in
New York. The steamer j. B.
Schuyler was just leaving her dock,
when the passengers called upon
Commodore Hancox for a speech.
Hardly had the Commodore begun
to talk when another and q rival
boat began blowing its whistle to
drown the speakers voice. Tho
Commodore put on more power and
SO did the whistle. The contest
waxed warmer and warmer every
minute. but still the speakers voice
was heard above the din. The
whistle made one grand effort, it
was its last, it collapsed, leaving
the Commodore master of the field.
Hancox's auditors are having q
gold medal prepared costing $500,
which is to be presented to him in
commemoration of the event.

Grant and . rn,-a FERN.

All the Indications at the White
House are of leave-taking. The
President has bought property in
Washington to build n residence. He
has promised his family trip TO
Europe on the expiration of his term.
He has never responded with more
than sphinxine eountenanee to the
many wishful compliments designed
TO bring from him an expression of
opinion. Nor has he any personal OBJ
jects other than the salary, to be de-
rived from the Presidency His
worldly affairs are IN good condition.
He does not derive the pleasure in
office, with his means and long mill
tary and civil restraint, which he
could get in retirement. He is m
American, besides, and has no aspi-
rations to reverse the precedents he
has fostered, and antagonixe the posi-
ton he took in his last inaugural,
TIA: he believed republican govern
ment would uproot every other kind.
If anything could put in such a
man head the idea of usurpation, it
would be the style of prognostication
adopted by his opponents. They as
sumo that he has both the opportunity
and the wish to destroy the liberties
of his country l am sure that he
has not the first, and | do not believe
he has the second He is bound to
the bulk Of his Office holders by
very limited acquaintance, and IN his
Cabinet et-council there is not one man
with hold on the heart of the coun-
try. The General of the army is his
friend, but not his political indorser,
and is himself not unwilling to have
the Presidency. In the same roll is
Hancock If the materials of usur-
patton do not lie in the public desire,
there are no sufficient Instrumental
ties tor that performance around the
President.

The LfStnk lst~sures or Uncle reun,s
Cabin.

From Proceedings OF the Old Aboiitsonists.
Levi Coffin, a Quaker, who was
president of the Underground
Railroad, next spoke. He was
thankful that he had the opportu.
nifty to aid slaves to make their
escape from the land of whips and
chains to a land of iberty-Canada.
Where he lived. in Wayne county,
Ind, IN 1886, three branches of the
road centered; and he had taken
the fugitives in and clothed and
fed them He went to Cincinnati
in lS47, and there had as high as
one hundred and eighty.nine in his
house in year. He Was often
threatened, but his dwelling was
never searched. During thirty
five years he had aided over 5000
slaves on their way to freedom.
The Anti-Slavery Society of Women
met at his house and made clothing,
and he collected money sometimes
to help the negroes along, but
oftentimes had to take out of his
own pocket enough to supply the
deficiency. The ladies wele their
main dependence then, and they

Applause. After the war the
Aid Society was organized, and
much done for the freedmen.
As the speaker descended from
the platform he remarked that the
audience would probably like to see
his wife, Aunt Katie" as the fu-
gitives called her.
There was general clapping of
hands as Mrs. Coffin came forward
and stood beside her husband.

Economy is an excellent thing. That
is, it is very comfortable to be able to
say to one 5 self, Il will do without
this, that or the other luxury, rather
than run the risk of being bergar in
my old age, or even find it necessary
to live without what is usually deemed
a necessity, rather than run into debt.
But exaggerated economy, or rather
meanness, is something which must
render its possessor wretched, and
something too which IL often found in
people who are too selfish to forbid
themselves anything they desire. They
eoyet rich food and fine dress, case
and idleness, but they deny to those
who minister to their wants their we'll
earned price, and always forget "the
laborer is worth his hire"
From the lips of such people you
hear nothing but complaints. Every
one is oyerreaching them. The dress
maker has sent in frightful bill; the
cook has no right to such wages; the
abominable landlord thinks no rent is
too much for his house; it is impossi-
Bile to have anything done without be-
ing cheated.
In fine, they want all the people
have to sell, and have within their
souls miserable desire to get it for
nothing. Always accusing people of
their own vice, they salve their own
conscience, and when they do get
something for nothing, fancy them
selves happy. But it is only fancy.
They can never know the pleasant
warmth that fills the heart when a
generous action has been done at its
prompting. Never can they feel the
pleasant independence that follows
liberal and ungrudgiDg payment Of
those to whose toll or trouble one is
indebted
Lie is a constant battle to them,
and many spcndthrift is happier
than those who forget that they have
no right to economic at the expense
Of other people, and whoever willingly
takes the money of fanother to add to
his own purse is, at least at heart, Il
thief

APPOINTMENT OF SUPERINTENDENT
AND AGENTS.

APPOINTMENT OF SUPERINTENDENT
AND AGENTS.
The different religious denomina-
tions were asked to nominate superin-
tendents and agents to represent each
the conditions being that the nom
inees must be fully indorsed as to their
thorough business qualifications and
good moral character. The religious
denominations responded, and in time
the change of superintendent and
agents was completed. This was an
important advance in the right direc-
ton. Under the former system part
nerships between the agent and trader,
or agent and contractors; receipting
for supplies never delivered; over es-
timatlng the weight of cattle deliver
ed by the contractor; taking vouchers
in blank to be filled with fraudulent
sums; carrying false names upon the
rolls; paying employees for whom
employees at higher or lower salaries
than provided by law, and using The
difference for other purposes; farming
out the appointments controlled by
the agent; using annuity goods for the
d@Ciio VI With tIlc
Indians; selling them their own goods:
wing with others to sw;ndle Indians
out of the annuities after distribution,
having Indian concubines. and allow
ing similar license TO employees; and
many other abuses had tecoIne so
general that an honest and moral
agent was the exception. Under the
c4cp eneh $ha
exceptional eases ,aod when discovered
the remedy is at once applied. IRE

RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES REPRESENTED
IN THE INDIAN SERVICE.
One of the merits of the new sys-
tenn is the entire absence of partiality
or preference in the denominational
selection of agents for the Indian scr
vice. The experiment of appointing
agents on the -conmendation of
prominent UNCONVENTIONAL associa-
tions was made first in Nebraska and
Kansas. These were appointed by
the Executive on the recommendation on
of two societies of Friends, the ap-
pointees being In all cases recognized
members of one or two other of these
religious bodies: and while duly sub
ordinate and responsible in all Off
cial respects TO the Indian Office, IN ,in-
tanning close correspondence with
committees of their respective soei-
cites appointed for that purpose So
fortunate were the results of this sys-
tenn of appointment in Kansas and Ne
braska considered that it was decided
by the Executive that all the agencies
in the States and Territories should

recommendation of some religious
body. The agencies We're then ap-
pointed among the prominent denom-

or the missionary societies represented
such denominational views These
associations or societies were request
ed to place themselves In commuui-
cation with the Department of the
Interior. to make nominations of
agents for the agencies assigned them,

SO presents itself and the opportunity
is offered.
DECREASE OF WARS, MURDER, AND cRINEs-
1t is too early in the progress of the
new experiment to expect large results
In this direction, yet something has
been accomplished. The Board of
Indian Commissioners report that
nearly fve-sixfi.s of all the Indians
of the United States and Territor es
are now either civilized or partially
civilized. and the records show that
under their present treatment they
commit smaller number of serious
crimes against the whites than an
equal number of white men in any
part of the Western country commit
against each other Fourth Annual
