RAILROAD NEWS.

We have the great pleasure to an
noanee to our readers that the railroad
news from Springfield is most cheering
1t is quite probable that $3.50 900 will be
subscribed in Clarke county this week.
Then there will be 500, 900 more to raise
This can be done, if every man along the
line will do his duty. jackson county
must raise $4,000 more 1t can be done
We have subscribed what we felt able to
subscribe-in fact more than we felt able
to pay; but we have not the least doubt
that if the railroad is once put under
contract, the increase in our business will
more than pay our monthly installments
And then what little real estate we own,
we believe will be doubled in value, and
thus we will receive FIVE times the
amount of our stock Then again, we
have full confidence that If we feel una
BILE to pay out, or for any other reason
desire to get rid of our stock, we can at
any time after work shall have commene-
ed, sell it at handsome premium. We
make this statement to show that we
have confidence in what we say. We
claim to be cautious man. We are
careful, and therefore do not make large
profits on our investments, but we never
failed to realize on our investments.
Now we want all our neighbors to go
in with US with their money, and let US
have the road. We feel very hopeful
The enterprise is now on its feet-it is
out of the woods. 1t may fail. That de-
pends upon each one of US. 1t will not
build itself 1t will take money. Let
every man who has no money, but who
is able to work, take fifty dollars stock.
He can easily pay the amount in install
ments. Let those who are able, take
more, as their ability will permit. All of
US have the utmost confidence in our Di-
rector for this county, H. L. Chapman.
We all know that when the President of
the company, Hon. James Emmitt, un-
dertakes any enterprise, he puts it
through. If we all do our part, the men
and teams will be at work in short
time

The PRESS AND PRIVATE CHARACTER
The verdict of S25, 900 damages against
the proprietor of the Chicago Times, in
behalf of young woman whose charac
ter had been damaged by false publica-
tion in that paper, ought to receive some
attention from the press, and ought, at
the same tine, to be regarded as warn
ing. Forged letters were sent to the
Times making scandalous charges against
young woman. The letters were ma
licious, of course, and intended to injure
and annoy the young woman in question.
Names of well-known and responsible
citizens were forged by the unknown
person who wrote the letters, and thus
the publisher was deceived. 1t. may
have been that the object of the forger
was to get the publisher into trouble
without regard to the woman, but how
ever this may be, the letters should not
have been published at all Even if true,
and the editor knew them tie be true, he
should not have printed them. This is
where the mistake was made. 1t is no
part of the business of a newspaper to
give currency to such matters, as pur-
ported to be reported by the writer of
the forged letters On the contrary, it is
violation of the privileges of the press,
and the publication of scandals of that
character serves to convert the press
into an engine of mischief. 1t is true
that there is demand for papers that
publish filth, and this is the reason there
are so many Objectionable publications.
If the patronage of such papers were con-
fined to the slums, they could not live,
but people who call themselves respecta-
BILE, and who profess to denounce such
publications, buyssthem because they are
filthy. Hence, the lower the paper, in
this respect, down to a certain point, the
greater its circulation. This is proof of
a very bad state ofsociety, and it accounts
for the existence and prosperity of papers
that pick up private scandals, dress them
up in the most offensive and corrupting
language, and scatter them among the
people.
The object of the law is to protect So
ciety and individuals against the cor
and this is the only protection there is,
since society, instead of suppressing, as
it might, actually encourages the publi-
cations referred Cincinnati Gazette.
The trouble is that so many irresponsi-
BILE, low, dirty dogs get a few worn out
type, procure a cheap patent outside, and
then think they must attack all who are
their superiors. They are utterly worth
less and irresponsible. The laws against
libel in Ohio are but little security
against the attacks of such scoundrels,
and the only remedy is for the injured
party to COW hide these low puppies

to the difference between the Republican

When a scoundrel is detected in the Re-

with the Democrats. The late Demo
cratic Legislature of Ohio appointed a
committee to investigate the conduct of
several members of the party. whose
votes had been bought. The committee
