BONNER ON GRANT.-The following savage ar
| ticle on Grants third term letter is from Bon
ners New York Ledger. While every word is
strictly true, it can easily be seen, by the tone
of the article that there is spite and malice be-
hind it. What the difficulty is, We do not know.
Bonner used to be one of Grants strongest sup
porters We suppose the President did not ap-
preciate Dexter to Bonner's satisfaction, or that
they disagreed on some technical point which
could be understood only by professional horse
jockeys:

Rules Foe Rusiness Men.

In the present emergency, very much can be
done by business men to revive the spirits OF the
people, and tighten the weight of their calamity.
We have hastily written down few. rules, which,
if carried out by business men, cannot fail to re-
store confidence, and make the people feel that
brighter day is about dawning.
1. Always look mad wear o dark scowl on
your face, and NOPE around like a dog that has
been turpentined.
2. Ifyou so far forget yourself as to smile oc-
casionally, make amends for it by being more
than usually disagreable.
3. Eentertain the opinion that no matter how
hard run other people may be, you deserve to es-
cape the common lot, and that everybody should
make a special effort to keep your business lively
4. If customer who has dealt with you reg
ularly, and has always paid you promptly, hap
pens to run ont of money while still owing you
Is cents, dun him every time you see him. Dun
him as he goes into his door, then watch and dun
him when he comes out. You know, he may
have made raise while he was in there.
5. If he fails to pay you within three days,
tell every man, woman and child you meet, that
the fellow owes you Is cents, and you cannot get
any money out Of him. Cause it to be under
stood that he is about gone up; and make him
feel, every time you look at him, that he is a
scoundrel, and has swindled you out of your just
dues.
6. Keep the idea uppermost, that as long as a
man owes you, be has no right to get out of mon
ey. The man who owes him may be strapped,
and the man who owes that one; but he that
owes you, should pay you whether he has money
or not, and whether he can collect or borrow any
or not.
4. If man owes you, watch him, and if be
buys q new shirt or poud of coffee, grumble
about it. He has no business to wear a shirt or
drink coffee until he pays you.
Follow these rules, worry, harass and discred-
it your most faithful customers, because they
have been temporarily embarrassed; make a nu-
isance of yourself generally; and our word for it,
you will get along swimmingly, will make many
warm friends, and will build up good business

CORRESPONDEyCE,
(Fntisn for The Chief)
KEEP A STIFF UPPER LIP.
NJ The SMILING GOPHER


When trouble sweeps yourspirit's chords,
And jangles al its tunes,
And when misfortune darkly frowns,.
Never lay down the spoons.
This motto has been stamped in gold
Boys, don't give up the ship"
Iyouid another maxim add
Keep stif upper lip
Have locusts been upon the land,
And laid your gardens wastess
OF many promised dainty mess,
Have left you not a tastei
Cheer up, though yet a little while
The bitter cup you sip;
Blackberry time is coming on
Keep stiff upper lip!
There still is time for fields of corn
To ripeu ere the frost;
While mush and dodgers do abound,
The country Is not lost.
So, let US hold out yet awhile,
And never loose our grip;
Pawpaws viii soon be getting ripe
Keep a stin upper lip,
And II the chinch-bug takes your crop.
OrIocusts come again.
Or hit blasts BY early frost,
On barns for want Of rain;
Should Hunger come to threaten you,
You have him on the hip
Fur acor.s still abundant grow
Keep stiff upper lipl
Alas, should corn and buckwheat fail,
Potatoes rot and blight
The acorn harvest come 70 naught
And Wild game take its flight,
And Yin<>t and Starvation come,
rofreefs and ftneh, and nipl
Flil back on slippery elm bark
Keep . stih upper lip,

Y preacher named johnson, in Butler
County, Kansas, seduced his two step-daughters,
and both had children by him. There is nothing
wrong in this. Once there was a man named Lot,
who was the only righteous man in Sodom-so
righteous, in fact, that the Lord sent couple of
angels to tell him to "git out'n that ar" Well,
he got drunk-did this righteous man-and fixed
his own two daughters that way.

NEW JUVENILE Mx3iAzISE.-The first num-
Der of WIDE AwAKE, fse>, New Magazine for the
Girls and Bows, is on our table, and "Fide
Araksp it is, too 1t is thoroughly modern from
cover to cover The number opens with a .dain-
ty frontispiece from the dainty pencil of Mary A.
Hallock, followed by poem, ''wide Awake, .
from the pen of Mrs. Louise Chandler Moulton,
which fairly fills ones ears with the uproaring
glee of June morning. 1t is one of the finest
poems she has written. The first serial, "The
Cooking Club ofTu-Whit Hollow" !" By the editor,
Miss Farman, is story quite out of the beaten
track. The author has grand chances for fun,
and for some sharp domestic lectures. 'rhe
White Chrysanthemums," by Mrs. Moulton, is
an exquisite little story and as exquisitey illus
trated by W. L. Sheppard. "A Poets Home"
by Hezekiah Butterworth, is a description, ac-
companied by an illustration We are glad to look
at, of Longfellow's home. There is an entertain
ing paper, full of pictures, concerning "A Queer
People," the people Of old Japan. ssYellow Jack
cts Fright" by Mrs. Sol Eytinge, is something
much better than fairy story, and full of the
fun that really exists, no doubt among the low
er races of creatures. Toms Opinion" is an
English serial of school-bsy life, well-written
and dramatic. "a Baby Lion" by Patty King
man, is accompanied by two ful,-page pictures,
that win delight the baby men and women.
''Young Riek," !" the serial by Julia A. Eastman
well, it promises to be quite as full of rolicksg
fun and vivid characterization as anything Miss
Acott has ever written. When "YouRg Rick"
finally gets his hands on those two cats, may we
be there to see. Other brief papers follow: "A
True Story" "Nu-Er-Ching," "Cry-baby Joe,'
etc. The editorial defnftments are ine. Miss
Ella Farman, the editor, is one of our rising wr-
ters, and her work upon this number clearly in
dicates the possession Of that varied talent need
full to q conductor Of children's magazine.
There are good times ahead for the girls and boys
whom she takes riding on "The Magic Carpet"
George Macdona AIDS double Story" is begun in
the supplement.
The best of our American writers have prom
ised contributions for the magazine, and we cor
daily commend it to both old and young.

Crooked as a snake are the ways, and uneer-
tain as q viper's friendship the sentiments in
dulged in by the "ex-Confederate President vet
present rebelhearted JEFF Davis. A few days
ago he was making Union speeches in the South,
and received praise therefor; how he is travelling
through Texas as the ''honored ex-Chief of the
late rebellion" breathing words of treason.
There is no more truth in JEFF Davis heart than
in q scorpions, and his speech is as treaeherous
as an Indians words. He is lurking and un-
hung assassin, who would stab his country if he
could-the spirit Of Benedict Arnold material
lied, resurrected and haunting the centennial
season of free America.

SCRIBNER FOR JULY.-The contents of Scribner
for July have been described as follows: "Kear-
ney at Seven Pines" ballad by stedman, illus-
number of Seribner. Next we have a profusely
| illustrated sketch of "The City of the Golden
Gate" by Samuel Williams, one of the best
known editors of San Francisco, who writes ap-
parently with discretion, as well as enthusiasm.
Not the least interesting part of Mr.. Williams
paper is that in which he describes John China
man-but his article is lively and readable from
beginning to end. Col. Warnings Farmers Va
cation" is this month descriptive of "The Blight
of La Manche;' he gives us very bright and
racy article, with great many illustrations.
DR.. Hollands "Story of Sevenoaks" is continued;
Frank R. Stockton writes about "The Girl at
Rudder Grange" Mr.. A. B. johnson, private sec
retary of Charles Sumner, presents some more
i'Reccollections" of the Senator; ]. B. Drury has
an essay on Darwinism; Francis Gerry Fairfield
prints an Appendix to his paper on Spiritualism;
and among the other contributions we note
story by Prot. Boyesene, author of "Gunnar" and
''The Norsemans Pilgrimage" something about
"The Middle-aged Woman" by Mrs. Davis; and
poem by Miss Houston a daughter of the eel
ebrated Sam Houston.
In Topics of the Time DR.. Holland writes about
"Old and New" now consolidated with ScribHer;
international Copyright" "The Parochial
Schools" and an american School of Art" The
Old Cabinet contains "a Confusion of Terms;"
Thought in Art;p "Ths Plea of Humility" and
'sThe Pickpocket's Excuse" Home and Society,
Culture and Progress, The Worlds Work, and
Bric-a-B Brac have their usual variety. The pub
fishers promise that there will he no falling off
of interest in the Summer months

Il Senators Ingalls, and Harvey have failed
to secure the removal of George T. Anthony from
the Collectorship. We look upon this as being
better than if they had succeeded. 1t insures
their influence against Grant for third term.
With their influence and patronage, they would
have been formidable workers in securing a del
egation from Kansas in favor of Grant. On the
other hand, Anthony could not control the dele
cation of his own County in favor of Grant, or
the delegation of any other County except Lyon.

n In the days of Jackson, the Democracy
used to boast that he had, at New Orleans, de-
feated the veterans who, conquered Napoleon;
forgetting, in their enthusiasm, that Napoleon
was not conquered until almost. six months after
the battle of New Orleans, The battle of New
Orleans was fought January 9Th, 1915, and that
of Waterloo, on the 18th Of june, 1915. But an
Ohio paper gets things mixed still worse, by
stating that, at the battle of Bunker Hill, the
Americans repulsed the veterans Of the Peninsu-
lar War and of Waterloo!

OHIO PoLrrIcs.-The Republicans of Ohio nev-
er had a better prospect than the present of
winning glorious victory; but they are in o fair
way to waste their opportunity, and make Will
liam Allen Governor two years longer. Almost
their whole fight is waged against the financial
planks of the Democratic Platform, embraced in
the following resolutions
That the contraction of currency heretofore by
with a view Of forced resumption specie payment
has already brought disaster the business of the
ruin. We demand that this policy be abandoned and
that the volume of currency be made and kept equal
par with gold to be brought about by promoting the in
dustrss of the country and not by destroying them.
tenders and giving national banks power furnish all
the currency will Increase the power of already dan
Ing the people without any compensating advantage and
that oppose to this policy the demand that all the
tired; and legal tenders be issued IN their place.
TO- That the public interest demands that the Govern
ment should cease TO dscredt its own currency, and
should make its legal tenders receivable for all public dues
except where respect for the obligation of contracts
qures payment in coin and that favor the payment Of
at least one-h half the customs in legal tenders.
IL The extinction of the present national banks, and
Of discount and deposit only under such regulations
the State may respectively prescribe and paper cur
renc such as may be issued directly by and upon
the faith of the National Government
That part of the platform will meet the appro-
baton of the masses. Talk until you exhaust
yourself, about initiation, reputation, and all
that, these resolutions embrace the sentiments
of the Western people. They may have been in
tended for just that thing; but whether for bun
combe or in earnest, the sentiment is endorsed
In these times of financial depression, with thou
sands of laborers out of employment, they regard
the policy of contraction as the cause, and will
not endorse any policy that seems to be in the
interest of gold spectators and money lenders.
Very many Democrats in Ohio denounce this
part of the platform. But let it be borne in mind
that Democrats will not vote against their ticket
for such slight causes, while thousands of Re-
publcans will bolt their party rather than sustain
the contraction policy. The Republican defeat
in Ohio, last Fall, was mainly owing to this
financial question; and the people can no more
be frightened with this buggaboo of reputation
and initiation now than they could then.
