peculiar charm about those calabis-
tic words. Away out where land is
cheap; where the grain grows spon-

Isn't it romantic? Beyond the Mis-

delightful! But before we start let
US read the following item:
"Within eighteen hours travel of
Chicago, and in the very heart of the
greatest grain growing region of the

Western Nebraska is in q terrible
state of restitution, caused by the

That the late Democratic Legisla-
ture done q great many things it
should not have done, and left some
things undone that it should have
done, is probably true, but it don't
lie in the mouth of any supporter Of
Grants administration and his rob
berries, to undertake to criticise or
Tebuke it. Democratic papers have
denounced the wrong doors of their
own party, and when the proper time
comes will endeavor to attend to
them. But we would like to see
when and where any of these howl
ers about Democratic corruption"
ever said a word against their own
party's shortcomings? Until they
do, the people will not be apt to take
their "virtuous Indignation very
close to heart.

1t is amusing to see how wonder
full indignant the supporters of the

over the imaginary corruption and

had the manhood and independence
to ever have uttered a word against
the robberies and corruption of their
own party, the honest masses might
think their howls were sincere, but
the thing is too thin to deceive

their professions of honesty, and
there is not a man with a spoonful,

THE LATE OHIO LEGISLATURE

"The doings of the late Legislature
of Ohio, and the progress of Demo
cratic reform under the lead of Will
liam Allen, have heretofore been al
luded to in these columns" but, as
"there is a suspicion" among the
"pap suckers and advocates Of a
third term for the $4,000 sa~lary-grab
President. that the millennium was
not entirely iaaugurated in the short
space of one term of Democratic leg
islation, we are inclined to show from
facts and figures, that it done so
much better than any Republican
Assembly in Ohio for the last fifteen
years, hat the taxpayers should
feel grateful toward it.
The length of the Goth General
Assembly, which was Republican,
was twenty-four days longer than
that of the 61st, which was Demo
cratic, a saving of at least twenty-five
thousand dollars to the taxpayers of
Ohio. The Goth General Assembly
appropriated 81, go ,223,9 IS, while
the 61st was only $4,971,S41,56, a
difference of II in ia
vor of the Democratic Legislature.
Should the taxpayers feel grateful
for this, or should they vote for q
change and again place a party il
power, that increased their taxes in.
stead of decreasing them? The levy
of State taxes authorized under the
Republican Legislature Of 1873, fol
the county of Preble was SCI, 621 GA
under Democratic Legislation o.
1864 it was, $54,679,15, a difference
to the taxpayers Of Preble county
in favor of Democratic legislation, Of
$6,9 -. In Montgomery Co.
there is a difference of $19,751,20
and in Hamilton a difference Of
$102, 792,4S! Surely there is moth
ing in these facts that justifies the
howlers for Grants third term, il
branding the late Legislature al
"rotten" and "steeped in infamy.'

the rip-raps in the river at the outlet of the
lake will now admit of. Among the things
contemplated is the building of dam in the
river with a view to raise the water in the lake,
by means of flush boards, some three or four
feet. This would give the company an oppor-
tunity to draw off six or eight feet of water on
the level. The lake itself is in area not far
from twelve square miles.

Democratic Abuse Of Mr.. Blaine.

From the Belfast Progressive Age.]
1t would be interesting to know what the
Democratic papers expect to accomplish by
their constant Misrepresentation and abuse of
Speaker Blaine. They are merely gnawing
file. Their bandying his name about atern-
ately as candidate for the Presidency and U. S
Senator, making him the author of personal at
tacks upon their candidates, representing him
figuring in Republican county conventions to
secure support for U. S. Senator and being
beaten, and placing him at the head of an i'm
aginary political ring, is simply display of
lmpotent rage. The effect of this misrepresent
alton and abuse, if any, is only to place him
higher in the estimation of the Republicans of
the state.
Attacks of this character were never more
undeserved. The Democrats never had more
magnanimous opponent. His practice and his
influence has always been in the direction of
giving them as the minority party more than
they could justly claim. As to the personal at
tacks, they are not Mr.. Blaines mode of war;
fare, as everybody knows who has observed his
course, both as an editor and political speak
er. And to represent him as having written,
or dictated, or inspired an article to be put forth
over the name of another is mean and con-
temptible. His methods of political warfare
are far different and far more effective, as the
Democrats have found to their chagrn AS to
the U. S. Senatorship, he has no need to run
around to town or county caucuses. Whenever
Senator is to be chosen, If he desires that Of
fee, he will find nobody in the Republican par
ty in the state in his way.
AS to Mr.. Blaine as public man, there is
not a statesman in the country with cleaner
political record. During the time he has been
Speaker in Congress he has been as light set
on hill, and his opponents with all their mar
row watching have been unable to detect any
flaw in him IN Credit Mobiler or salary grabs.
If they have discovered that he has become the
possessor of moderate wealth, they have been
unable with all their prylng to discover that it
has not been by fair and honorable gains.
When he left the Speakers chair he was more
popular than when he went into it, and nc
Speaker ever left the chair with so earnest a
testimonial as to honor and faithfulness as he
The shafts of political malice and envy which
the Democratic papers in this state are amin G
at him will fall utterly harmless at his feet
No man in the country unites the qualities of
the true statesman and the sagacious and higt
minded politician to a greater extent than he.
Among the probable candidates OF the Repub
lican party Tor the Presidency he stands to-day
pre-eminent, and no stronger name in our view
can be presented. The Republicans of Maine
will support his candidacy With a will. In the
