Currpnt Notes..

On one account, however, we regret that
the lecture to the Winnebago Gransers did
not come off. The address would naturally
have dealt mainly with the elevation of labor
and certain questions connected with capital,
and the suggestions of the ex-President Of
the Southern Confederacy on one, and the
advice of Mississippi repudiator on the
other, delivered to the Honest Farmer intent
upon swindling his creditors, would have been
an entertaining, if not an instructive address
Nation.
The Cincinnati Commercial congratulates
itself as follows on the promised appearance
Of Henry Clay Dean in Ohio: "He is man
who says what he means, and he means the
population of the national debt. He does
no take the trouble to preach up imitation as
an interme diary process. He goes for re-
pudiation first, last, and all the time. He is
comparatively an honest man. When he
talks we shall get at the true inwardness OF
the Ohio Democra cy."
The Hon. F, W. Bird has written a letter
to the Tribune rebuking its attacks on Judge
Thurman for supporting the rag-money party
in Ohio. Now this happens to be one of the
special claims which the Tribune has on us
for respect, its faithful adherence to the doc
trtne of hard money, the one question of
importance-now that slavery has passed
away-which is to be met in the next cam
pa ign. Mr.. Bird says what is wanted first is
not financial reform, but root and branch
reform in the whole public SERVICE" and,
therefore, be would put Democrats in office!
What has the Democratic party ever done for
reform in the last thirty years? Can one
item be mentioned? When attempts have
been made to reform our civil service, whence
have they come? Has one Democrat favored
them? Has not Democracy been q unit in
opposition? The tact is that corruption is
not peculiarly Republican virtue. Even
Mr.. Bird could not have the face to say that
the Republican voters are less honest and
reputable than the Democratic. All parties
believe in honesty, and the present admins
tration, with Bristow in the Treasury and
Jewell in the PosJ-ofice, is quite as honest as
any that have gone before it. A Republican
victory will mean an honest currency, which
is the coming issue. and will protect the rights
of the negro, which is the issue now passing
away.-Independ

JocELYN's MISTAKE. By Ms. j. K. Spendel
Boston: James R. Osgood s. Co. For sale BY
Bailey & Noyes.
Jocelyn's Mistake is story of some two
hundred pages, the scene of which is laid in
England. The characters are few and the plot
is simple, the aim of the author being, ev,-
IDENTIFY, to make the novel description of one
woman-a "femme incomprise," creature
with "great lustrous eyes, straight black
brows," hair which had 10 vulgar glossiness
about it but which was dalk and shadowy,
with blue tints in its depths. "a face which
invited attention by its singularity rather than
by its loveiness."
In SO far as the attempt to portray the he
roine's character is made, it is successful, for
We follow her through scenes in which all pos
sble emotions of the human heart are brought
into play; but after having learned her pecu-

out, eceit and unamiability seem to be among

OF the Democratic speakers in the Ohio
campaign Gen. Ewing ranks next to Allen
and Cary. His lungs are not so good as Al
lens, and his impudence does not equal
Cary's, but as demagogue he holds na infe-
rior rank. The other night he gave the peo-
pie of Findlay lesson in finance, and this is
the closing sentence of his speech:

will address meeting in City Hall, Wednes-

YESTERDAY the Argus man thought it
about time to give the Radicals" another
dig; so he sat dowa and wrote the following
at cantering pace: ga characteristic out
break of the hellish spirit of Radicalism is
seen in Illinois. The trustees of an agricul-
tural society there, bearing in mind the les
sons of the centennial year, have invited
Robert E. Lee TO deliver an address at their
approaching fair. Gen. Lee has accepted,
but the believers in the bloody shirt"-Here
the conscientious assistant deferentially sug-
gested, 'But Gen. Lee is dead, you know"
s.Dead, is it possible?" murmured the Argus
man as pear,y tear stole down his cheek
and fell into his bosom's valley. And he
went to work on an obituary setting forth
that Gen. Lee was a lifelong Democrat, that
he had been known to walk fifty miles to
vote for Democratic presidential candidate,
that he had been subscriber to the Argus
since 1901, and that the subscription was
continued by his afflicted family. But the
Conscientious assistant prevailed upon the
argus man to withdraw the obituary.
The Portland daily press., 1875-08-21

THE Argus continues to shout Indians !;
and we wouldt be surprised to hear that in
his dreams he saw Indians in war paint and
on ponies after him in full tilt, and that the
quiet of the night was occasionally broken
with his cries of alarm. In the palmy days
OF james Buchanan, when anybody who
owned one could click his nigger," and DEM
ocratic journals had sinecure places in the
federal service,-ip those blessed days, there
was great deal OF money expended upon
Indians when Uncle Sam wasn't compelled
to take care of one half as many savages as
at the present time. In one year the Bu-
chanan administration paid 81, ,267 ,543 to the
noble savage, and another $4,926,73S. Add
to this latter sum the difference between gold
and currency and the Buchanan administra-
ton spent more than five millions in single
year to care for half as many Indians as are
embraced within the present treaties.

If it be true that Servia and Greece have
formed an alliance against Turkey, and that
that power fatty declines the Intervention
Of Austria, under guarantee of the Northern
Powers, to restore tranquility upon the basis
of reform in the administration of the
Christian provinces of the Porte, then the ex-
istence OF the Ottoman empire is seriously
threatened.

THIS time Mrs. Harris turns up in Bridg-

THE Cincinnati Enquirer is certainly good
Democratic authority and is privileged to give
an authoritative Interpretation to the plat
form which 1t and its followers framed. The
attention of the Democracy Of Maine is called
to.the Eaquirer's interpretation:
The resolutions of the Democratic State
Cow ention propose an entire change in our
present financial policy. The Democratic
speakers and newspapers Ie'giving good rea-
sons why this revolution should be effected.
Inc Republican orators and Republican jour
nails oppose. Their position is negative and
defensive The Democratic is offensive and
aggressive. The Democrats say there is not
enough money in circulation to meet the wants
of the people. The Republicans say there is
plenty. The Democr ats attack the National
bank monopoly. The Republicans come to its
defence. The Democrats attack the gigantic
robbery contained in the law of 1869, which
changed the terms of the contract under which
the fYe-twenty bonds were issued, to the advan-
tage of the bondholder and the detriment of
the people. The Republicans defend it. The
Democrats condemn the exemption of the
bonds from taxation. The Republicans defend
it. In short, on every point the Democracy are
the assailing party and the Republicans the
assailed.
