CINCINNATI COMMERCIAL

1t will be seen by one advertisement
in the Standard that we propose to send
the Weekly Commercial and the Stand
ard at reduced rates. By another adver-
tisement it will be seen what the Com
mercial is, and what it proposes to do.
This paper, as an enterprising newspa-
per, stands at the very top. In politics
it is utterly unreliable. In 1872 it took
leading part in the Greeley foolery,
but during the campaign just closed, it
did valiant and able service in the right
cause-that of the Republican party, and
without its aid, in so close contest, the
party would have been defeated. For
this good work, we publish its prospect
us, for an exchange with the Daily. 1t
is expressly understood that we are to
send the Standard in exchange, as Hal
stead cannot get along very well without
one real independent, live country paper
to read during his leisure hours.

Now if the publishers of patent inside
and outside papers, and patent cores
pondents, will stop sending US their
trash, they will confer a favor. Nearly
every mail brings us specimens, and
propositions of some kind. One mail a
few days ago brought US four printed
letters, with an urgent circular that we
publish one such each week, and pay
each of these swindlers q dollar apiece
each week. They promise not to furnish
the same letter to any other paper in
this vicinity, but it is to appear in the
Standard as original, and as being writ
ten exclusively for the Standard, while
these fellows admit that they desire to
furnish the same letter to 100 papers, in
different parts of the country. Some of
these patent swindles would occupy two
columns in the Standard.
Finally, we will make this proposition
to these patent writing swindlers: If
you will sign your real name to your ar
ticles, to be published with the articles,
and pay us ten cents per line, IN advance,
your letters will be published Remem-
Der, pay IN advance will be required from
any or all of you

1t has just come to light that three
firms of claim agents in Philadelphia
have been getting up fraudulent pension
claims, and have succeeded in getting in
some 10000 such claims, upon which
they drew each year million dollars, on
forged powers of attorney. Truly the
rascals have sorry time of it under
Grants administration. No wonder the
thieves and plunderers are SO anxious
for change of administration, and dread
a third term of Grantism. Grant has
issued standing order to this effect
Let no guilty person go unpunished.

There has been much activity recently
in the navy yards, and vessels are being
fitted for service There have been ru-
mors of war with Spain. &c. We will re-
ceive the Presidents Annual Message
before our next issue, and can then per-
haps know something about the facts in
the case. We believe that President
Grant is too honest man, and has too
much sound sense, to permit this coun-
try to be involved in war with Spain in
reference to Cuba. Nations, like indi-
viduals. will find that it always pays to
mind your own bus mess.

The Waverly Watchman says that for
the first time, corn sells for more in Pike
county than it does in Jackson. There
are two reasons for this. The very wet
season was extremely favorable for the
growth of corn on the dry hills of Jack
son county, and the high waters destroy
ed a large portion of the corn on the
Scioto bottoms. And then our people
do not destroy any corn by making whis-
ky out of it, while from Waverly to
Portsmouth some twelve hundred bush
els are thus worse than destroyed each
and eyery day

The WaEerly papers are running race
to see which can toady in the most alb
ject manner to James Emmitt. Mr.. EN-
mitt is considerable of a man in some
respects, but we think it will do now to
confine his support principally to the
sustaining and aiding of his efforts to
construct and complete our railroad. He
is man of sound judgment, great ener-
gy, and he is personally honest. Beyond
this, it is best not to go. He has too
much old-fashioned common sense to be
wheedled by hattery.

OHIO LEGISLATURE.

The Cincinnati Times. and several 9th
er papers, urge upon the next Ohio Leg
islature the Importance to the Republi-
can party, as well as to the welfare of the
entire people of the State, that short
session be held That short session be
held. That is all true, but we have little
hopes of anything SO sensible as that
We have distinct recollection of the
fate of the late lamented Constitutional
Convention. If this concern had done
its work in sixty days, it would have
been adopted by large majority; but it
remained in session six or eight months
after every sensible man in the State
had become thoroughly disgusted with
it, and the people felt bound to destroy
the whole work it had done.
Now we look for the Legisture to re-
main in session at least one hundred
days, when forty to sixty would be am
ply sufficient to transact all necessary
business. Each member will have his
pet scheme, and nine-tenths of the mem
bers will not have the most distant idea
what laws are now in force. In fact, but
very few of our smartest lawyers know
this.
If the next Legislature would pass the
appropriation bill, and repeal three
fourths of the laws passed for partisan
purposes by the late Democratic Legisla-
ture, and then go home, it would be
worth thousands of votes to the Repub-
lican party next year, and saving
of tens of thousands of dollars to the
people of the State All that is necessa-
ry to be done, can be done in two
months, at the farthest

Hon. Isaac Welch, Treasurer of State,
died of dropsy last week The Treasurer
elect. Mr.. Millikin, will not come into
Office for month yet. Governor Allen
rendered him the appointment for the
vacancy, but he declined, on account of
his private business. The Governor then
rendered the appointment to A. I. Wi
koff of Columbus, but he declined. Per-
haps the refusal is on account of the ap-
pointee being required to give bond in
the sum of six hundred thousand dollars
and only one month of office for all that
trouble.

OHIO STATE JOURNAL.

We have an arrangement with Messrs.
Comfy & Francisco, publishers of the
Weekly Ohio State Journal, published at
Columbus, by which we can send the
Journal and the Standard one year for
81 so. Our many articles copied from
the journal during the recent political
campaign, is evidence of its ability as a
political paper General Comfy, the edi-
tor, is admitted by all newspaper men to
be one of the ablest, if not the ablest,
editor in Ohio.
The journal being published at the
seat of the State Government, renders it
more valuable than papers published at
other places, especially during the ses-
sions of the Legislature

The trial of the whisky ring rascals is
still being pushed with great energy. An
old dispatch was raked up in one of the
trials, purporting to be from Gen. Bah
cock, Private Secretary of President
Grant, and sent from Babcock to one of
the thieves We cannot see anything
criminal. or even suspicious, in this dis
patch, but great cry is raised that Bah
cock is guilty. He denies any compiled
ty in the rascality, and demands an in
vestigation.

Here is an awful warning to young
men who fall into evil habits. Three
men were sent to the Penitentiary from
Portsmouth last week. and the only
cause assigned for their trouble was, that
two of them had been great base ball
players, and the other said that whisky
was the cause of his ruin. Tim Sullivan,
the man who blamed whisky, was sent
up for seven years, and the other two,
the base ballists, for ten years each.
And still men will play base ball and
drink whisky

A Catholic Priest named Ryan, shot
at q man at Caldwell, Noble county, and
has just been tried and found guilty of
shooting with intent to wound. The
young man had joined the Grangers, and
it seems that the Catholics are not very
favorably impressed with this secret or
der, and quarrel grew out of it. If the
Catholics have sense enough to see the
evils of the Grange war upon the busi-
ness of the country, we do not think the
Pope's toe is 30 bad, after all

If persons who write to us on both sides of
the paper do not see their communications in
print they may know that that is a sufficient
reason. We presume that they who, in the face
both sides of the paper, think they know more
than the publishers.and that it is only whim,
or that it applies only to thin paper. But the
Oft-repeated reason is that in the rapid work
required in the type-setting and making up the
forms of the successive pages of daily paper,
the matter TO be printed must be cut into short
pieces or s'takes" for the type-setters. Paper
written both sides can not be cut into
"takes." While in this line we will mention
another ignorant notion, namely: that when
persons write for the newspapers they should
write with pencil. Printers. like other people,
want legible writing. Writing in pencil is apt
to get rubbed out before it gets to them.-Cfn-
cilndti Gazette.
And the Gazette might have added
that the idea is very common among per-
sons who write for publication, that it
makes no difference how they spell, or
where they do, or do not, use capital let
ters, or how much they use authorizations.
These writers never can take the time
and trouble to say jackson county,
Ohio" but they put it thus: Jacks co o."
And this class of writers universally use
the dash for the period. 1t is some sat
isfaction to publish communications just
as they are written, and we now make it
a rule to write private note at the top
of the first page of all communications,
which is addressed to the printer. thus:

CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
SO remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As a remedy,
it is adequate, on which the public may rely
for full protection. By curing Coughs, the
forerunners of more serious disease, it saves un-
numbered lives, and an amount of suffering not
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affec-
tons, which are easily met at first but which
become incurable, and too often fatal, if neg
lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and it
is unwise to be without it. As safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PEcToRAL is invaluable; for, by its timely USE
multitudes are rescued from premature graves
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. 1t acts speedily and surely against ordi-
nary colds, securing sound and health-restoring
sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Influ.
enza and painful Bronchitis, when they know
how easily they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently relied
upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited, and capable of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

Mother Stewart, our temperance evangelist,
having been called to Great Britain by temper
ance friends, with whom she has been in cor
respOndence on the subject for some time, to
spend few months in the work there, will
leave home next week, but will not sail before
the latter part of December. Her friends in
Pittsburg-of which she has a host there-have
invited her to stop and give them a farewell
meeting on the 9th, and the ladies of Washing
ton are arranging series OF meetings for her
there. We learn that lady of means, who
gives her life to BENEVOLENT enterprises, propo-
ses to accompany and assist Mother Stewart in
her work abroad, and to entertain her while in
London. She sails for Liverpool, goes thence
to London, and will probably spend most of the
winter in that city and other cities of England,
and then go to Scotland under the auspices of
the Alliance of Scotland, in the spring. Her
London friend has also deferred an engage
ment tor this winter in ireland, in order to take
Mother Stewart with her in the spring. We
wish her the best of success in her good work
abroad, and hope that she may win hosts of
friends wherever her lot shall be cast, for we
know her to be earnest Christian woman
a born agitator and reformer, who will surely
stir up interest on the subject of temperance,
wherever she goes.

For some time past we have seen it
stated in the papers that Mother Stewart
is going to Europe to lecture on temper
ance. We did not know whether the re-
port was true, but the following, from

the matter
