It will DO seen, therefore, TINT IN the hvo
yeara since 1870 the value Of greenbacks Inns
undergone no permanent Improvement In
March, 1870, they vera worth Ri to no cents
oil lilo dollar, mud, except M stalled, during
the temporary scarcity Of lcgat-tcnt'crs tlnr-
ing the panic their value Inns rensainod with
in those figures until tho present time. Sub
Htantially, during the fIvo ycars the country
l,as not grown ono cent nearcr to specie pay

that they 1nny DO forced upon creditors i'll

That they aro worth hut ii or III ccnta even

OF the demand md nro consequently Cheap.
Az there seems 10 10 no probability of tho
demand growing up to the supply, tho next
best thing il to reduce the supply to the de-
n,a,n1. The man who wants grcenbacks to

thinks himself or horself perfectly competent
to perform that kind Of simple, easy, gentcel
work. An 10 the carpenters, 1t is ccrtain Tint
there has mover been 10 much employment
for them in Chica8o except after tin tiro, as
there in this year. There IN n largcr
amount Of building tl.an in any ycnr
previous to tho fire or si,lcc 1872, mud
tho sasf,, blinds, door, mud stair-building
establishments havo increased in number

of replies from carpenters seeking work sin,
ply shows that, no n,a.tcr how much work ID
furnished, tho floating population pouring
into this city from nil parta seeking work OK
cect's any possible supply.
This IL, iii fact, the Whole explanation OF
tho silly effort Of tll;s lsohomnn to foist MI
exaggeration Of C',cago'a poor and unem-
ployed upon too-willing cars. There is 10
city in the United States outside of New York
which nlwnys l'as 50 largo n floating porula-
ton as Chicago. The circumstance is to 10
accounted for by Chicagos prosperity,
growth, and enterprise. There is "a feeling
everywhere that Chicago IL the place to turn
when change IL to be made and people catl-
not find employment elsewhere. There IL q
confidence throughout the Union TINT thcrc
Ia better prospect for remunerative employ
mcnt in Chicago than in my othor city. Tho
consequence is that the people oil. Of work
clsowhero Aock l.cro anl arc always In excess
Of the opportunities. 1t WIS SO when Chica.
70 was not half as largo as it il now !;
it will 10 10 when Chicago shall grow to
be twice rs large as it is now. When
Chicago ahall reach n stopping place in ita
growth, aud settle down into the slow and
sleepy condition OF Louisville, We shnll not
havo this large floating population OF employ
nlont-scekers, which is renewed from week to
week Of places are found then people osearcl,-
Ing for situations will not como to Chi
cago, ~ they do not now 60 to Louisville,
but they will 60 TO son,o live city where tho
chance OF employment is better. The timo
for this, however, seeu.s to bo far distant +;
and, meanwhile, wo slsnll always llnye large

we beioyc, was mover before seen in America

the execution Of !hirty-ciglt Sioux Indians
ct Atankato, Mimi, in 1852. In tho se1turlo
hanging at Fort Smith, four of tho doomed
mon wero whites, ono negro, and another n
Choctaw Indian. Tho crimes for which these
,nurdercrs paikl the penalty Of their lives are
sketchcd III our dispatches, and 1t is worthy
Of noto that, while all tho murders wero of
tho most brutal aud fiendish type, in each
caso tho evidence was absolutely conclusive
Of guilt mud tho punishment WAS richly
nlcritcd. Nothing less than this awful
jointuro Of rctribntivo justice, 40 well ar
rnngcd with Wow to securing the end
sought, could haye served to striko terror to
tho hearts of tho rnurderous hortlcs which
have infested Western Arkansas and the nd

bination Of startling effects was needed in

snlutary in demonstrating the terrible majesty

4A9 Dtll4UEfAk8 VI Cl1tEiluhtl Altfe EcNO4lI-
mated GEanAN, the author Of tho bill which
has bcen notorious under his namo for rcgu-
lifting religious worship in the pcnal and re-
for1natory institutions OF tho State. The bill
provided that no minister Of the Gospel
should DO excluded from any institution sup
ported by Stato appropriations or public
charity on account Of his donominationa1
connections. Tho bill was not wrong in
itself. 1t simply embodied principle which
il recognized by common consent in Illinois
mud somo other States, and which requires
no legislation to assure its enforcement.
There was no opposition to the principle OF
the bill. But Alr. GEauAs excited III antag-
oman both to his bill nnd to himself by pro-
claiming In effect that 1t was demanded by
tho Catholic Church, md TINT, unless tho
Democratic majority in the Legislature passed
the bill, the Church would call upon Catholic
voters everywhere to desert the Democratic
party, with whom they have heretofore acted
almost. solid, md vote agninst it. The posi-
tion which ho took indicated formal alliance
between the Roman Catholic Church and
tho Democratic party, and forecast that the
influence OF the Catholic Church, it suocess-
ful in cooroing this meaRure, would DO
exerted to use tho Democratic party to break
down the pubic school system, md carry out
other sectarian aud dogmatio attacks upon
the constitutional provisions Of tie State aud
tho underlying principles Of popular govern
n,ent.
| 1t WINS this that created public ala1n and
| tho opposition to tho GKonA4 bill and its
| author. Tho more conservative and far
soeing members Of the Democratic party in
Ohio sought to throw Mr. GEanAN overheard
| after passing his bill. They aaw thu. the
attitude which he assumed was cAlcu-
lated to damage the interests Of tho
party; aud, while they were willing
to submit to the dlctation Of tho Catholic
Church In effect, they desired to effaco the
evidence OF such submission. It was tho pro-
gran,me, therefore, to defoat Mr. GEanAa for
denomination. This was the course which
tho Cincinnati Enquirer advised. But tho re-
suit hna shown that the ultra Catholic element
In tho Democratic party Of Ohio is in the o.
ceudant, and does not care even to disguise
ita ims and purposes, At tho local Cincln-
natl Convention Of Thursday tho Catholic
partisans Of GEduAH were victorious, and ha
was reno1ninated In the face Of fierce op.
position to hiu1, and utter noisy and dis
reputable squabble. Tho Cincinnati Enquirer,
| the Democratic organ, now uants to rnpudiata
him, but this will not help tho matter. Ilta
denomination shows than Geghanism prevails
in the Ohio Democracy, and controls II, and

DO the Right Thing.

Whenever you are in doubt which
of two things to do, let your decision
be for that which is right. DO not
wavcr, do not partly: but square up
to the mark and do the right thing
Boy when you divide that apple
with your little sister, be careful not
to keep the largest half yourself
Young man don't sneak out of the
basement door because you want to
escape your fathers eye. Madam
let not the most trillhg deceit pass
current in those little acts which
make the sum of your life. No mat
ter who you are, what your lot, or
where you live, you cannot afford to
do that which is wrong The only
way to obtain happiness and pleasure
yourself is to do the right thing You
may not always bit the mark, but
you should nevertheless aim at it,
and with every trial Your skill in
creascs. Whether you are to bc
praised or blamed for it by others !;
whether it will seemingly make you
richer or poorer, or whether DO other
person than yourself knows of your
action, still, always, and in all cases,
do the right thing. Your first lesson
in this will grow easier, until finally
doing the wrong thing vii! seem an
absolute impossibility.

cd by our leading factories, we were
more than pleased to find that on n
number of articles, such as sash and
doors, our prices are the same, and on
no article quoted by the St. Louis
Gazette of August 10Th are our prices
more than three per cent. over those
of the Future City. Our time and
space forbids further comparisons.
but we shall take occasion at some
future time to look into our home
industries and compare prices with
other markets, and prove by figures
that in a large number of articles we
can manufacture at home at remu-
nerative prices what we have hereto
fore been sending off Cor, under the
delusive idea that we were saving
money by so doing. Vick:SJurg
