The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-07-01

The action of the Democratic State
Convention relative to the School
question robs the Radical party of
seven-eighths of its political capital,
and gives them a backset that makes
them feel terribly blue.

The resolution on the School Fund
question in the Democratic platform,
and the fact that our Republican
Senator from this District, Hon. D.
B. CoRwIN, voted for the Geghan
bill, is rather a deadner on the Day
ton city ~gentleman's political capital
for the campaign. If it wasn't for
the absurdity of the thing, by es-
pousing the whisky influence, he
might make up q little of the loss;
but alas! who would confide in the
poor old crusade organs professions,
with such a record behind it?
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-07-01

The Republican papers are labor
ing to stuff the people that the Dem
ocratic party is running a Prohibi-
ton ticket. If any man is green
enough to be gulled with such non
sense, after what a Democratic
Legislature done last winter in ex-
punging the statutes of bigoted laws,
VT pity him, and advise all such to
vote the party in power that will
replace the Objectionable temperance
laws again, and open the crusade as
500 as the election is over.

NEGLECTED GENIUS INTHE SOUTH

Augusta (Ga.) OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Praising Mr.. Haynes genius very
warmly, the Boston Advertiser says:
"To be poet in the South is in
some sense a penance. There Is bitter
want Of the encourage uent that every
aspirant for literary fame has IN the
North, as soon as he gives any certain
token Of merit. The Southern poet
sings not to his own people, who, for
the most part, care not to hear him,
but to strangers, between whom and
himself that is not the free sympathy
that is most potent to inspire him, and
it requires a brave heart to perseyere
in his work"
Through good and evil report, con-
fronted with appalling obstacles, Mr..
Hayne has never falierel in his duty
20 art. We dare say, ut future time,
when the South grows rich, powerful
and populous, the genuine singer will
not want for an appreciative audience
and Just reward. At the North, the
prosperous men Of letters have usually
some other means of winning a liyel-
hood besides their contributions TO the
Muse. At the South, man who de-
ponds upon poesy for a living is phe-
nomenOn; and, n some cases, necessity
has compelled several aspirants for
pOetical fame to abandon tleir art for
more practical ways and means Of sub
sistence. Nobody can readily be found
to take care Of a poet family when
the poet himself is wandering on Mount
Parnassas. 1t is to the undying honor,
however, Of Paul IL. Hayne that he has
never forsaken the mistress Of his soul
and, living n true poet, will die with
his lady's favors Unsullied upon his
breast.

LET THE SOUTHERN OEBSMEN BE
INVITED.
New York Herald, July %.

-'NN NAA AANAtAANAf - tt-l
Now that the college races are SUD.
stantially over for the year we have a
suggestion to make for next year. 1t
Is that the boating men Of the Northern
universities and colleges unite in a
formal and cordial invitation to the
Southern universities and colleges to
Join them in the rcgattas of next year.
Boating has not been so much
practised in the Southern colleges as
IN the Northern; but we happen to
know that at several there are rowing
clubs, whose members would, we do not
doubt, gladly prepare thems elves
during the coming season to take part
in next years racing. Others would
be encouraged by the invitation to be
gin, and it would be easy by next July
to collect, on Saratoga Lake or else
where, representative Oarsmen from al
most every prominent university and
college in the South and North.
We make this suggestion not only in
the interest of the Oarsmen, but for the
good Of the wholecountTy. The recent
reunion Of Southern with Northern men
at Bunker Hill had 4 remarkable effect
in the South. 1t persuaded several
millions Of people in that part of our
country Of what no one in the North
doubted, that Southern men would be
cordially received here, and that there
is a possibility of an era Of good feel
ing. The Fourth Of July celebrations
in Atlanta, Augusta and elsewhere
= r 1
given by Boston to the South CarDli-
mans. The Centennial celebration will
bear fruit next year in a grand reunion
of the American people. 1t would be
no small addition to it to unite, on Sar-
atOga Lake, thu oarsmen Of the North
ern and Southern colleges.

INDEPENDENT ArLAsT.

The Chicago Tribune sees a great
deal Of significance in the new era that
has dawned upon the States where
once King Cotton held undisputed
sway. Southern planters have expert
mented in the way of diversity of pre-
ducts, and the experiment has proved
a wonderful success. If it had
been predicted ten years ago that
any of the cotton-raising States would
in the year 1875 have a surplus of ee-
reals. the existing facts and prospects of
the time would hardly have borne out
the prophecy. Yet such is the situa-
ton. Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas,
Mississippi and Alabama will this year
have enough and to spare. In addition
to this unprecedented grain yield, the
old staple, though reduced in acreage,
has, by a more thorough system of
cultivation, rewarded our planters as
never before, and they boast of an in
dependence that has heretofore been
unknown to that portion of the
country. They claim that with. their
surplus of breadsuffs they can OBJ
tain the means by Which they will
be enabled to hold their cotton, take
advantage Of the market, and sell for
cash instead of following the practice
that has almost universally obtained of
mortgaging their crops early in the
season at ruinous figures. How far
this state of facts will influence the
prices Of grain in the West, is matter
which the Tribune leaves for future
devclopement, remembering, doubtless,
that sufficient unto the day is the evil

New York to receive a book package

postmaster was acting in the line Of
his duty in accordance with the law.
Judge Spence, Assistant Attorney
General for the Postofice Department,
states that there may be some plausi-
bic ground for the position taken by
the plaintiff in this case, bit that a
decision in favor of the maudamus

there were several important amend.

der obedience. a number have
been arrested in Havana, Matanzas,
Cardenas, Puerto Principe, Glen

are noUinformed whether the next step
will be a wholesale execution, but IN
les such be the programme, it is in
the highest degree improbable
that the unfortunates Will be
cured Of their gambling propensities.

The WAR ON THE NATIONAL
HANKS

General Cary, the Democratic candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor of Ohio,
IN his speech at Miles, Ohio, said
''Our system of National Banks is a
stupendous swindle" Tbereupon the
Radical press and the so-called "Inde-
pendents" of the North and West be-
gin to 5elabor him with harsh words,
and befoul him with unclean epithets.
Gen. Cary disclaims any assault per-
sonally upon those interested in the
National Banks. He says: eve have
nothing to say against the bankers
themselves. 1t is the system we op-
pose" We Will add with very great
sincerity that we wish the National
Banks had more good sound Demo.
cratic Presidents, Cashiers and Direc.
tors. We wish the South was able to
own more Of the stock Of national
banks, especially of those located in
its midst, for then the South would
thus, both directly and indirectly, re-
ceive more Of the benefits of the sys.
TEN. While it is an established factor
in our financial system we wish to see
The South generally and the Southern
capitalists Individually receive to the
largest extent its benefits. Neverthe-
less that does not change the character
Of this banking system. Its advocates
have become red hot IN their denun-
citation of the platform of the Ohio
Democracy. They have overdone the
argument. A little more welding in
their logic would have secured a tight
or and more permanent hold
upon the popular mind. The
Democratic press and speakers of Ohio
have driven these advocates Of national
banks into a defense of their pet sys-
tenn Of national finances. The latter
come out from the contest lame and
halt. The Chicago Tribune, in its anxi-
ETY. to sustain the present bank monop-
oily, announces this startling result:
"If the bank note circulation be with
drawn and greenbacks be issued, then
the whole 500, 100000 Of currency will
become irredeemable in any form.
Profound logic this, to come from a
truly loyal administration Journal.
The conclusion is that greenbacks are
an 'irredeemable currency" Then
why are we daily treated to such pa
thetic homiies about the sanctity Of
the plighted faith Of the nation and the
sin and iniquity Of reputation?

THE committee appointed by the
Delaware Fruit Growers Convention to
confer with the steamship companies
IN regard to the shipment of peaches
to Liverpool, have reported that they
called upon the authorities ofthe Amer
lean Steamship Company, and they
favored the project. The company
would allow the growers to fit up the
steerage forward cabin with their re-
frigerators, which can be done with
five hundred dollars for each vessel.
This portion of the ship would hold
$4,000 or 10000 baskes, and a COM
partment Immediately underneath could
be fitted up which would carry 5000
additional. They would charge the
growers for the shipment ofthis amount
of fruit to Liverpool about two thou
sand dollars, and give them the privi-
lege of sending out an agent free Of
charge with each consignment.

THERE has been bad management
somewhere about the finances in Ten
nessee The State Treasury is empty,
and there is no way to replenish it ex-
c,pt by converting the Legislature, and
it is thought very doubtful if that body
can do anything about it. This and
various other weaknesses of Demo-
cratic management induce the Hon.
w. q. Brownlow to predict a Republi-
can revival In East Tennessee which
will sweep the Democrats from power.
-NelC York Tribune.
Tue Tribune should know that Brown
low has never been a success as a
prophet; and the idea Of the Republi-
can party ever sweeping anything again
in this State is really quite absurd, you
know.
