Before the trials connected with
the whisky frauds + through with,
new and immense rascalities among
Pension officers are reported, amount
ing to millions of dollars. These
frauds 7 said to be so gigantic that
no man can have any adequate con-
ception of their extent. And, to
make the matter worse, it is alleged
that this swindling in the pension
business has been going on uncheck'
ed for years-the officers at Wash,
ington, who are legally the guardians
of the peoples interests, not having
known that such q state of things
existed. And thus it is, while Grant
and his office holders are scheming
and working for a third term" or s
further lease of much abused power
the thieves are stealing at will and
plundering an already over-burdeneo
and oppressed people.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-12-30

FROM late Washington news we
see that the Democratic House will,
on reassembling after the holidays,
Immediately move to investigate the
whisky frauds. 1t is proposed to ex-
tend the work to the chief head of
thieves, and from matters which
have been recently disclosed, it is
confidently expected to convict the
President, through his man Friday,
with the swindlers. In that event
it is the purpose of the Democratic
party to prepare articles of impeach-
ment against Grant, for the perpe-
tration of high crimes and misde-
meanors. 1t is we'll for the nation
that a change in the lower House Of
Congress has occurred, in order that
the long list of revenue frauds may
be looked into and impartially inves
tigated; for as the matter stood.
there were rings after rings and all
linked together in such a manner,
that no Republican Congress dare
venture a thorough investigation, a:
they and their friends were all in the
mix together. But things have now
changed, and we say give us light
upon the subject. Let us know what
has become of the immense revenue:
which the present administration has
been collected from the people. A:
the ball is now in motion, our motto
is to keep it rolling until the las
thief is uncovered and exposed, ant
if it takes the 'last man and the las
dollar"

The Pittsburgh Commercial, in
attempting to account for the great
number of failures, says:
"The civil wal ard the bad fnan-
ctdl system which it bequeathed, has
had much to do with undermining
the morals of the business world, but
if the great number of bankruptcies
which have lately occurred but lead
to a restoration of the old fashioned
principles of business, the trials and
losses endured will not be without
compensating results"
So, the Republican party gave tc
the United States so "bad a financia
system as to undermine "the NOR
ais of the business world" Ant
now we are told hat the hope for g;
re storation of the old fashioned prin
ciples of business is to be found il
the wholesale number of bankrupt
cies." This is indeed q delightful
view of the matter.

VOTE OR SHUT UP.
National Labor Tribune

There is scarcely an evil under
5hich the workingmen suffer to-day,
but can be removed by voting. I'm
ions upon Unions piled on each 9th
err as high as Mt. Olympus cannot
do what voting alone can do. In
this republican nation where every
man has q voice and votes, there
should be no grumbling about evils
which can be wiped out Of existence
by votes. The bulk of our mel who
are forever prating and grumbling
around with faces as long as a bean
pole about this and that and the 9th
er sort of tyranny, ought to shut up
their empty blather until they car
make up their minds to vote these
evils out of existence.
If they are not men enough to dc
this, they deserve to suffer. What is
liberty to vote for if not to be used
to eradicate wrongs and abuses
Shut up, we say, and no more Of
this. You have each avote, and yet
you let yourself be led by the nose
If there were not such men as you
there would be no tyrants. You
make them. Transform yourselves
and be men, and they will fly from
before you.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-12-30

The vote on the third term reso-
luton in the House indicates that
Grants strength is not confined to a
single State or section. The negroes
are almost a unit in his favor. And
the vote proved that in Maine, Ken
lucky, Illinois, Vermont, Michigan,
the Carolinas, New York, Iowa, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana, Florida, Califor-
mia and Alabama, there are leading
representatives of the Republican
party who are advocates of q thir(
term. What other candidate for
Republican nomination has strength
in so many States?

Do the people realize the heinous-
ness of the crime charged against
Orville E. Babcock? This man, the
military secretary and bosom friend
of the President of the United States
is under indictment for conspiring
with men, since convicted as thieves,
to rob the people of the United
States. 1t is charged against him
that from the White House itself he
engineered a gigantic system ofpub-
lie plumber, and devised methods to
enable the corrupt officials, associat-
ed with him in the conspiracy, to use
their places of trust for purposes of
robbery. Never in the history of the
country has a person so near to the
President, and so actively sustained
by him in all his undertakings, been
tainted with SO infamous a charge.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-12-30

The Eaton Democrat informs it's
readers that the scoundrels. unearth

Register that Democrats have been

ious falsehood. The impudence of
this pestiferous little niDcompoop OF
the Democrat, is only equaled by his
pusilanimity."- Register.
The gentleman who wrote the

else than editing a paper. But would
it not have been better for this SHARP
"Aleck," and more convincing to the

The Washincton Republican. the

The Washington Republican, the
Presidents official organ, of last
week, contains a long article on the
Cuban question. The views therein
expressed are of more than ordinary
interest, as it is understood they are
the sentiments of the President. AT
ter positively declaring it not to be
the purpose of the President to urge
either the recognition of independ-
ence, or to accord belligerent rights,
the article concludes as follows:
evidently, unless the Govern
ment retracts the arguments against
independence AID belligerency on
tanned in the Presidents message,
the alternative of meditation or in
~tervention are contemplated. Inter
vention, however is a European idol.
It is defined to mean that the i'm
pending Government invades the
country in which it desires to sup
press a certain authority whose in
terests it wishes to support. But in
%tervention is an act of war, and has
never yet been resorted to by Re
publics. Meditation may be adopt
ed with q friendly intent to serve
both parties to the contest, and is
now the only ~peaceable resort in this
Cuban affair by the United States.
1.-THE situation accordingly re-
solves itself, presuming that the Pc
sition assumed by the President be
maintained, into one of peace, il
Spain accepts our friendly efforts, OF
war of some kind if an adjustment is
not reached without further vexa'
tious delay. We submit that no 9th
er deduction than this a be made
from the facts as we have presented
them, and we do not hesitate to ado
that the idea of a confederation o
the West India Islands, under
, Spanish prctectorate, would provett
| be a failure. The Spanish authorit.
would continue dominant and prov
vexatious, andthe cruel delays whicl
; have been the curse of our diploma
S tic relations with Madrid, would no
: be abated. This solution woul'
therefore, prove to be unsatisfactory
and in the end might render inter
yention a necessity. Under no Gil
cumstances, however, should the Idle
of annexation be considered. Their
is no reasonable pretext for it, an
as mat. ers now stand, no benef
would be derived from it either b
the Cubans or the United States.

In speaking of the nomination of
GRANT for a third term by Bishop
HAVEN and two hundred other
Methodist preachers, the Springfield
Mass Republican makes a good
point. Suppose" it says, ga Ro-
man Catholic Bishop were to publicly
advocate the nomination of any
Democratic politician for the Presi-
dency next year; what a howl would
go up! How the pious protestant,
MI. THOMAS MAST, would break out
in cartoons! What severe and edi-
flying homilies we. should have from

MoRToN's circular letter of true Re,

and perils of having a political

There is q report in Washington,
which is, however, without official
verification, that the United States
has submitted proposals to Great
Britain. France and Germany, look
ing to an intervention in the Cuban
question. The recent movements o
the English fleet are pointed to as
the evidence that the English Gov
eminent is at least disposed to con.
slider the question, if in fact she has
not already consented to unite with
our authorities in the case.
