FINANCIAL INITIATION.

The Democrats Of Ohio have made 9
very grave and probably fatal mistake
in ous Of the, planks Of their platform.
adopted ssths recent State Convention.
We refer to that clause relative to the
currency. The blunder made In dis
cussing the school question was CON-
OF minor importance. and
when we consider the position OF Ohio
in the approaching Presidential contest.
il seems rather unfortunate f6ey should |
leave themselves open to such criticism.
The Buckeye State is conceded by all to
be the hattie ground wherein the first
contest Of the campaign of 20 will be
waged. The great 'tidal wave" Of last
November, which changed the political
complexion Of the next Congress. will be
either arrested, or else sweep on with
irresistible force. according as Ohio goes.
for in the next campaign that States
holds the key Of the position. The
financial panic Of 10. and the copse-
quent disastrous condition Of tho Eastern
and Western States, gave rise TO great
many theories, some Of them obviously
absurd; among others, that Of imitation,
or increasing the volume Of paper cur
rency. Many will remember the clamoi
raised, chiefly by Indiana and Ohio. fol
the issue Of tho ~. 900, 900 reserve, and
the action Of the President In refusing to
act unconstitutionally even to insure
present relief, which was in itself rish
and proper. This insane notion II seems
il still in the heads OF that branch OF the
Ohio Democrats, who had the making Of
those resolutions. They are either ignor'
ant Of, or else ignore this truth en-
larging the paper currency Of this coun'
try correspondingly depreciates its value,
and while possibly affording temporary
relief, has most paralyzing effect on all
branches Of trade and industry. Re
trenchmsnt, not enlargement. Is the or
der Of the day, aud on the importer
question the Republicans Of Ohio have
taken stand by far more manly and sen
sibla than their Democratic brethren
The intelligent part Of the latter party
who are more apt to think for themselves
will hesitate before endorsing by theil
votes such ignorance and incoherency Of
expression. The Democratic leaders
seem to have forgotten this, and trusted
too much to the blind following OF thu
masses, and taoit acceptance of what
ever financial doctrines they soc fit 4

Democrats on this question indicate
disastrous defeat.

STEAMER MATCH OFf.-A good many
dispatches have been passing between
the Monumental and Eureka fire engine
companies of Virginia City and Stockton.
California. during the two or three days
last past. The chances now are that no
match will be made between them, as
neither company desires TO leave its own
town, for fear of possible fire in their
absence. The Monumental boys offered
the Eurekas' $3.50 if they would come to
Virginia City, Carson or Reno, and the
latter offered the Monumental boys $500
If they would come to Stockton. Neither
proposition has been accepted, and thus
the matter stands at present, with every
chance for the whole thing to fall Vir-

witt street, pausing at each house to ring
the door bell When it was answered he

known in the vicinity lived there. At last
he stopped before a cottage which gave to
the eye an impression Of humble comfort
and refinement, if not of grandeur, and

the ring promptly. The old mans face
lighted up with pleasure, and taking from
his finger diamond ring, the blazing soli-
taire in which weighed nineteen and FIVE

The Latest Lottery Swindle

Mr.. A. S. Dexter, of Omaha, has writ
ten a letter to the Chicago Journal Com
merce, in which he paid his respects to
James NJ Pattie, the lottery man, who has
pitched his tent in Laramie City lately,
from whence he is flooding the country
with circulars, etc., i'll regard to his latest
scheme. Mr.. D. says in his letter:
Jas. NJ. Pattie's operations We're on
more gigantic scale than any within the
recollection of the oldest inhabitant. by
the aid of circulars, newspapers and duped
citizens. he managed to swindle the people
of the United States out of more than half
million dollars, running two lottery
schemes, one the Redic Opera House-the
drawing, by the way, never came ofi-and
the Orphan Asylum scheme. The income
of this man was stated Mt from five to fit-
teen thousand dollars a day, nearly all OF
which was absorbed by him. The idea of
| paying prize never occurred to him. The
drawings, if any took place were falr
enough, butgthe figures were always manp-
| ulated when they were sent to the printer.
! Thousands of circulars were signed by
duped and interested men. telling of the
| integrity of this man, who has been the
author Of more astounding and audacious
schemes than any other in the business.
He was arrested when leaving Omaha,
brought back and put under bonds for his
appearance in September. He then left
Omaha in the night to avoid another arrest

The Unhappy Village.

Show me two villages, one embowered in
trees and blazing with all the glories Of Octo-
ber, the other merely trivial and treeless
waste, or with only single tree or two, and |
shall be sure that in the latter will be found
the most starved and bigoted religionists
and the most desperate thinkers. Every
wash tub and milk can and gravestone will
be exposed The inhabitants will disappear
abruptly behind their barns and houses,
like desert Arabs amid their rocks, and
shall look to see spears in their hands. They
will be ready to accept the most barren and
forlorn doctrine-as that the world is
speedily coming to an end, or has already
got to it, or that they themselves are turned
wrong side outward. They, will perchance
crack their dry joints at one another, and
call it a spiritual communication. - Ihore9~.

/ From the Virginia Enterprise.
The State of Nevada, with 55, 900 people,
has 900 licensed places where liquors are
retailed. This is at the rate of one liquor
dealer to each sixty-one Inhabitants. 1t is
estimated that the receipts of these liquor
saloons average forty dollars per day, Or at
the rate of sixty cents per capita. The
| number of licensed liquor saloons in the
leading towns and cities of the State is as
follows:
Virginia, 200; Gold Hill, so; Carson, 81 /;
Reno, 80; Elko, "a; Eureka, 10; Austin,
%; Hamilton, II Phoebe, 40.
There are $50 places in Storey county
where liquors are retailed. The aggregate
receipts of these saloons are $4,000 daily.
This is at the rate of $500, 900 per month, or
$3, 600, 900 yearly. To produce this amount
the daily labor of 2, 800 miners at four dol
lars per day would be required. In the sa-
Icons OF Storey county is therefore spent
daily in the purchase of liquors sum equal
to that earned by about all the miners in
mate of the money daily squandered in
Storey county in pandering to the popular
vices of drinking and gambling. There
are in the county twenty licensed gambling
games, which are sustained at an average
daily cost Of 500 each, or $4,000 daily.
This does not include the winnings of the
games, which doubtless aggregate as much
more. But we will place the expenses and
profits OF these games at So, 900 daily. We
have, therefore

Making Profanity Pay.


There is an Anti-profanity Society in
Nashville, says the Clarksvili (Tenn.) To-
5aeeo Leaf, which charges its members five
cents Tor swearing. The price is shocking
ly low-one dollar for plain oaths, two dol
lars for mixed, three dollars for twisted,
four dollars for doubled and twisted, is
cheap enough, with a liberal discount for
large orders and special occasions.
The society lately gave the Woman's
Mission Home $2.2O, as the result Of their
months work. They will have to have a
more stringent assessment law, or some
new act for the collection of the revenue, or
the unfortunate class this tax is to save
from sin will perish. It is new idea to
make one crime neutralize another in that
way--an alkali against an acid, These
boys win have, however, to sweas more or
sin will outgrow their efforts.
