Business in the East.

P. d. Drake, of THE ARGUS, who is
travelling in the east, writes from Boston,
Mass, as follows: I have never seen
business men more discouraged than they
are here and all through New England,
especially in the larger cities. There are
failures here every day, and in all kinds Of
business. The universal complaint is
dull times" Added to this is the horse
diseases not exactly like the epizootic,
but something worse. The disease seems
to be in the horses threats, and prevents
them from being used for from one to
three months, This,of course,i is disastrous
to the trade of such city as this, where
everything must be hauled with teams. ]

that are asked me every day, such as
these: What next? Can we go to you ?
What hopes can you western men hold out
to us2 When will we reach bottom 2''

The Republicans to Carry Ohio by
Chemistry.

There is no doubt that the Republicans
are in great fear that they will lose Ohio,
There is scheme being discussed now in
the inside Of the Republicans management
of the campaign to succeed by a new pro
cess of fraud. Down in Alabama the Re-
publicans have been killing the Democratic
vote by chemical process, buying the ex,
ecutive committee men who had charge oil
the tickets, scratching certain names with
an..invisible ink, andthen returning the tick
cts. The negroes voted the tickets, which
appeared to be all right. Into the ballot
boxes was thrown an impalpable, volatile
powder which had its effect on the invisi
BILE scratches, bringing them out and set
ting them perfectly. An Alabama chem
list, through whose agency these chemicals
we're obtained, has been in Ohio lately il
conference with the Republican Contra
managers at Columbus. If the Republi
cans should conclude to resort to such DIES
perate means, they must bny up the mel
in charge of the tickets in each precinct il
which they intend to work the night befor
the election. The Democrats are warned
and will try to guard against that.

A Horse Trainers Nerve,
From the Roundout Freeman.

On Monday forenoon last number of
trotters were being exercised at the driv-
ing park, among them Efie Dean, driven
by the wel-known horse raiser, Alden
Goldsmith. The horses were trotting at a
lively pace and were all punched in heap,
when one of Effie' relns broke, and Gold
smith toppled over backward, and every
spectator expected to see him drop from
the sulky and be mangled by the feet OF
the crowd Of horses behind. This tragedy
was prevented, however, for Goldsmith,
whose feet caught in the front rests of the
thills, recovered himself and then gave an
exhibition of nerve that was. most thrilling.
The mare, released from the restraint ofthe
taut reins. broke into run and few ahead
like the wind, leaving alithe others behind.
While she was going at this rate Gold.
smith crawled over her back until by reach
ing forward he could get hold of the snaffle
of the bit,and then lying upon her neck lie
he brought her up with sudden pulllthat
carried her almost perpendicularly in the
air. He was heartily applauded by all
who witnessed the daring deed.

State Rights ,

The following extract from the Republic
an platform of Massachusetts is respect
fully commended to the attention of Re-
publicans who have, for years, sneered at
State Rights. The Massachusetts Repub-
lican platform says:
That we have no more earnest desire than that
our brethren at the south, without distinction or
exception of race party, may enjoy to the fullest
extent those inestimable blessings to which we owe
all prosperity and personal rights under local
elfgovernment, without the necessity of any inter-
ference from abroad.
The Republicans of the old Bay State
being of the opinion that ''those inestim-
able blessings to which we owe all our
prosperity and personal rights are to be
found under local self-government, -
naturally desire that their brethren of the
south may enjoy them. Attorney General
Pierrepont recently wrote to the carpet
bag governor of Mississippi (Ames, of
Massachusetts, that before asking for U. S.
troops they should fight for their state
rights" A jealous watchfulness of the
reserved rights of the states is the surest
safeguard of republican government.

Wants to Compromise.

Some weeks ago.the deputy collector, for |
this district, seized quite large quantity |
of cigars from various parties in this city
and Observation-Disclosures and dealers
There was no pretence that tho govern
ment had been defrauded out of a single
cent of revenue; on the contrary it was
admitted that the taxes had been paid
in full. The only pretext for the .seizure
was that the steel stamp or die of the
maker was impressed on the box cold
instead Of hot. That's all there was of it.
Everybody admits that the cold impress
sion is palmer, more legible, more easily
read than the hot one, and that there is
not bit more possibility of defacing it
than there is of defacing the hot one, for
one is impressed as deeply into the wood
as the other, and neither can be defaced
without cutting out the wood. That's all
there is of the case. fE
| Now, the cigar manufacturers and
dealers. whose property was seized, and
who had paid in full all the taxes requir-
ed upon it by the government. are served
with the following notice:

him and he has paid all the taxes required
by law upon them. He don't know of any

The St. Joseph Gazette, No., wants to
know of US if all who differ from the policy
of Wall street are idiots and knaves. That
may depend on what is meant by wall
street" which phrase is nowifying from
the lips of rag money journals like the
sheets of saliva from Dickens's railroad
car. If by it be meant the gutter-snipes,
the stock gamblers and the busted" spec
ulators of Wall street, then all who differ
from the policy of Wall street (if that
wall street" has policy, are not neoes-
sarily idiots and knaves. But if by wall
street" the Gazette means the men whose
industry has helped to accumulate the
wealth of this metropolis and whose genius
has directed the employment of much of
the labor of the land outside its farms, we
can certainly affirm that that Wall street
has an honest policy and wise one in res
pect to the currency; namely, fund your
floating debt and use stable currency
and we have no doubt that all the idiots
and all the knaves, east as we'll as west, are
opposed to this policy. The knaves are
opposed to it because they can fleece theil
gudgeons easiest with the help of huct
uating currency. The idiots are opposed
to it because they have not sense enough
to see that paper money, while wealth tt
one citizen as against all others, is debt tC
all as against the one-that its increase
therefore is but an increase of the wors
form OF debt. namely, demand debt, anc

Discovery of Coal.

Mr.. Samuel Bowles, of Bowlesville, on
Rock river, in the southwest corner Of
Hampton township, has, since last July,
been sinking 4 inch drill to find lower
bed Of coal, and he has just been rewarded
by the discovery of vein nearly 4 feet
thick. 1t is 100 feet below the average
surface of the soil, and 136 feet below the
surface of the hollow when the drill wa;
sunk, The location is about mile north
of his residence, and the indications are
that there is coal still lower down. At any
rate it would seem that the vein of Goa
just discovered is evidence that there is tt
be no lack of coal in this region.

A $40 Opinion.

Moline has bought $40 worth of opinion
of Hon. John B. Hawley, which is to the
effect that the state law limiting the
amount of license money for selling liquor
to $500 year does not apply to cities, and
that cities can fix the rate of license at any
sum they see fit. A decision from the su-
preme court on that point would have a
more binding effect. and that can be had
by carrying the Moline cases to that court.
