Ohio County Grunge News.

Editors IntellISeneeE
Presuming that n few Granger items,
as you torn them, might be acceptable
from Ohio county, is the reason l am seat
ed to write 10 you, and right here l might
-ay to you that you arc in danger Of in.
sulting some Of your non.professing
Granger friends, by printing under the
head Of "Granger Items" all the news OF
the farm. These friends are still in q
great state OF trepidation for fear this
Grange movement will be success.
Their Conscientious scruples" you know
keep them from joining in with us TO
help pull the wagon up the hill. Once
up, however, they will be with us. But
il is only mere matter OF time until all
the better portion Of the farming com.
munity will be in the Grange. We
have five Oranges in this county, and all
are prospecting. In Marshall county
they have three times that number, l un.
derstand. We make haste slowly here,
but think VIC. are building on solid
foundation. The first Grange is Fair
view No. "A. The last organized is State
Line, near West Alexander, not yet num-
bered, whose number will be nearer 400
than 800. Your friend D. I. Atkinson is
Master. While there has been only
one Grange organized in the county in
the past nine months, those already or.
ganized have largely increased their
numbers; in fact the most OF the time for
the past six months has been taken up in
Instrdcting new members, and very little
Grange work has been done. During the
coming summer all will be ready 10 set
tie down to solid work.
Steps are now being taken to organize
county grange, by electing three delegates
who with the master and his wife repre-
sent the subordinate grange.
They have two stores doing business in
the county, one at Potomac and one at
Point Mills on the Hempfield Railroad,
both arc in n prosperous condition, and
are considered success. II the Potomac
store which is chartered is not in good &.
nancial condition 1t is their own fault,
for they have done a remarkably fine
business, probably handled more goods
than any store in the county outside the
city. The Point Mills store, with which
am better acquainted, has more than
met the expectations Of its projectors-is
conducted on a cash basis, with the man
Sgers under bonds.
All grangers with whom talk, with
scarcely an exception, are enthusiastic in
the belief that the Grange is big thing,
and are much stronger IN the faith than
when first going in and when Oranges
have gone down, 1t is not the fault Of tho
system, but Of the men taking hold.
Yours truly, "I5."

Tor Instance.

COLLEGE, BOYS AND YouSG LADIEs.-
AT most colleges they publish college
paper, or magazine, of some sort, more
or less regularly. They used to publish
one up at Bethany called the Stylus, and
they occasionally issue one from the
West Virginia University called the
Bulletin. We now and then see casual
publication from Washington College.
These papers are edited by the young
men Of genius who are found in every
college. They have a paper at Yale
called the Record, which is edited by
some Of the learned sophomOres. Col
lege papers are much given 10 So
ciety notes. The editors know all
about society. Hence we are not
surprised that the Record should dis
euss New Haven society quite freely.
We are rather surprised however to see
IL declaring that the young ladies there
are all old maids, and that they are
neither pretty nor entertaining. This is

MISCELLANEOUS NEws.-Congressmah
Payne Is held up to odium by certain
Democratic Ohio papers as bloated ma.
tional banker and Seven.millionaire.
A New Jertey Republican organ ex.
presses the opinion that the delegation
from that State to Cincinnati will not be
"held in the hollow Of any mans hand"
A leading Western paper unkindly re.
marks that Mr.. Bayard Taylor has never
written any poetry yet, but perhaps he
may be able to acquire the art between
this and the Centennial opening.
It seems that the Washington lawyer
who took Bradley Barlow's $4,000 to
keep Congressional committee Of his
contracts, wrote the report Of said com.
mittee. The practiced lobbyist Of that
sort reduces things to a fine point.
That "big bonanza" in the Nevada
mountains, which was struck, last year,
was the richest treasure in history,
probably. The Consolidated Virginia,
which is the stock name for the mine, has
Just divided It's thirteenth monthly divi.
dend Of S1,OSO,00O gold In % months,
the mine has taken out S300O0,O00 Of
treasure, and divided Sl7,2S0,0OO OF
profits.
Mr.. Curtis has been saying number Of
things, this last fortnight, that have the
true inwardness in them. Here is one
that good Republicans, who want their
party to win, this year, might proftably
paste in their Centennial diaries" and
read over, slowly, every morning, after
family prayers: Fine professions q reform
rilh candidates WhO are themselves eOnstituent
parts Of &s thing TO DO reformed will mol carry

We hope there will be no agitation for
change in the whisky tax. There is no
evidence that the present tax is too high.
The argument that, once upon time, a
tax Of 81 gallon did not yield as much
as one Of so cents has been a good deal
oyerworked, as an argument for the re-
duction below 20 cents. We believe that
this and all the internal revenue taxes are
collected with great success under Mr..
Bristow, and at a very small per cent OF
expense. The internal revenue is one Of
the best discoveries Of the war which ne
cessitated it.
They have been legi stating on libels in
California this winter, and the Senate
has passed very good law, which re-
quires the libcler to come into court and
prove good his statements, or publish
full retraction. This is much better
than any effort to naturalize the French
idea of compelling every man to sign his
own matter in the newspapers, which, we
are sorry to see, tho California Senate is
also disposed to put in the form Of en-
actment. There is general willingness
among the press to accept the former
measure, but general and just dcnuncia'
tion OF the latter.
The country will be greatly surprised
at the announcement that majority of
the House Territorial Committee are in
favor Of admitting New Mexico; it be.
came evident, some time ago, that the
influences" behind this impudent scheme
were OF unusual potency. But it still
seems impossible that the honesty and in
telligencc Of the House should surrender
to them. Happy thought: A bicenten-
NAL State will be wanted in 1916. Save
New Mexico for that!

INDIANA IND OHIO.

Mr.. E. V. Smalley, staff correspon-
dent Of the New York Tribune, who has
been canvassing Indiana in behalf of the
republican State ticket, in letter to
that paper dated Indianapolis, Sept. 80,
indicates that the chances for the demo-
Gratis for carrying Indiana are improving
Mr.. Smalley says:
''The one inyariable and never. r.ending
theme of the democratic stump-speak-
ers is the corruption of the Republican
administration. Taking the material at
hand, of which, unfortunately, there is
no lack, in the Santa Domingo job, The
house rascalities, the whisky-rng orera-
tions and the bad appointments of the
President, they ingeniously put it all
together. paint it up in glaring colors,
and set it forth as a frightful monument
of official depravity. Their logic, in
brief, is: Such and such Shortcomings,
wrong. .doings, prohigacy, rascality anu
corruption are shown to have existed uu-
der Grants administration by indispu-
table evidence the Cincinnati platform
indorsed Grants administration Gov.
Hayes says in his letter that he approves
the platform, therefore he approves
Grants administration, and will do
nothing 10 reform the public service.
Moral-Elect Tilden. This is unques-
tionably an effective argument. And
will the democrats win? The chances
seem to be IN their .faror,"
A correspondent of the New York
Herald, who has been travelling over
Ohio, writes to that paper and says, in
his letter dated September "a, that Mr..
Thompson, the chairman Ct the State
executive committee, expressed the
greatest confidence that the democrats
would carry Ohio by majority "all the
way from 10000 to 10000"
The New York Herald correspondent
then INDUCES the following differences
"It is safe to predict that the contest
wi be very close. The calculations OF
the republicans that they have placated
the Germans, whose desertion was the
cause OF their defeat in 1874, is upset by
the vigorous use the democrats have
made Of Barnes connection with the
crusaders. Franz Sigel has also given
partial check to Carl Schurz in the effort
to retain this vote. The greenback me n
| will not count against either party in
the State election. They are mostly
and largely democrats, but will vote the
| regular party tickets"
Our opponents began the Presidential
canvass with great boastings. They
were to carry Ohio in October by 10000
Indiana by at least half as much. To-day
they are uuakinR with fear lest they
should lose one or both Of these States,
the loss of either of which would be con-
fessedly fatal to their hopes of success
in the Presidential election. Let us
press on the canvass with renewed vigor
and we shall win an unpi ecedented tri-
umph.

A COlored Democrat Murder d.


Another case of murder by radicals is
ing colored man, Joe Devlin, who was
a well known democrat and an active
member of the Tilden and Hendricks
club at Winona. Devlin had been a.
member of the democratic club for some
time, and was well liked by all of the
white people Of Winona, Owing to his
influence and the active part he took in
politics unpopular with the white and
the negro radicals. Last Saturday Dew
lin went to Winona, and having trans
acted some business departed for his
home, which was near the line of the
railroad, and some distance from town,
He was not seen alive after that time,
but next morning his lifeless body was
found upon the railroad track, mile
from Winona. The train had passed
over the body, which was frlghtfully
mutilated and shocking sight. As
soon as the members of the Winona dem
ocratic club heard of Devlin's fate they
took charge of the body, and had it de-
Gently buried. The funeral was one of
the largest ever seen in Winona, six hun
dred white citizens, with all the mem-
bers of the democratic club, being in the
procession, and following the remains to
the grave. Not a single republican,
white or black, though many were the
neighbors of Devlin, attended his fune
raj or assisted in the digging of the grave
We are credibly informed that the rad
icai negroes waylaid and murdered Dew
lin, and then placed his dead body or
the railroad track so as to have the
marks of violence obliteratel by the
wheels of the train

toriously corrupt, and in many instances
incompetent, that even their own party
can't stand it. We hope and intend to
elect Hampton and his ticket by an over
whelmpg majority, not by intimidation,
threats, fear or fraud, but by the Justice
of our cause. Our ticket will bring out
10000 voters who have never cast a vote
since the war, and the disgust of the Re
publicans will give us that many more.
Ever since the nominations by the Re-
publicans we have had accessions to our
ranks from among the most prominent OF
that party, while among the rank and file
the greatest Generalization obtains.
These do not pretend to be Democrats,
but Republicans who cannot and will not
any longer stand carpet-baggers, rogues
and thieves in office. We hope, too, to
