TO BREAK OFF BADHABITS.

Understand the reasons, and all the
reasons, why the habit is injurious
Study the subject until there is no lin
gering doubt in your mind Avoid the
places, the persons, and the thoughts
that lead to the temptation, Frequent
the places, associate with the persons, in
dulge in the thoughts that lead away
from temptation. Keep busy; idleness
is the strength of bad habits. Do not
give up the struggle when you have bro
ken your resolution once, twice-a thou
sand times. That only shows how much
need there is for you to strive. When
you have broken your resolutions just
think the matter over and endeavor to
understand why it is you failed, SO that
you may be on your guard against a re-
currence of the same circumstances. Do
not think it an easy thing that you have
undertaken. 1t is a folly to expect to
break off habit in day which has been
gathering long years.

tional government 10 lawlesB party rule,
o Union of justice and fraternity to a
Union Of force and violence, now is the
time to show his faith by his works. II
is no time to indulge in vain repinings; it
is no time to cry over split milk; 1t is no
time to make some special but subordi-
nate theory paramount to the success OF
a great cause.
The supreme necessity of the hour is
constitutional and honest government -
All other questions are subordinate TO
that. Until that be secured no thorough
reform will be possible, no solid, substan-
tial, enduring prosperity be attainable.
What can any man who has the least
claim to be called Democrat hope to
gain by prolonging Radical rule? But
he does work to that end if he opposes
the st. Louis nominations, or by cold
ness or indifference contribute to their
defeat.
Gentlemen, it is current talk among
our adversaries that Ohio is irrecovera-
bly, lost to the Democracy
| do not believe it, l say in sincerity
and earnestness to every Democrat and
friend of reform, put your shoulder to

FROM THE STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
Judge Hoadly read the following tele-
gram from Hon. John G. Thompson, OF
the State Central Committee, which call
ed forth cheers:
Rooms Democratic STATE CENTRAL

COLUMBUS, o., July 8, 1876. }
To Chairman ofthe Democratic Ratifica-
ton meeting, Opera House, care Geo.
II. Pendleton.
The most gratifying intelligence from
various parts of the State has been re-
ceived by the Committee to-day of large
accessions to the party since the Saint
Louis convention. The committee is
satisfied it is in the power Of the Demo.
cratic party to carry Ohio for Tilden and
Hendricks. AS means of attaining
this desired result, the committee have
determined to inaugurate bold, ener-
getic and aggressive canvass, Our Dem
ocratic brethren may be assured that the
Democracy of Ohio are harmoniously
united and determined on the achieve
ment of victory on the second Tuesday
of October. The fact that such reform
ers as Hassaurek, Stallo, and Hoadly
take part in your ratification meeting to-
night may be regarded as an index to
the popular current which has set in for
Tilden and reform.

HAYES, in his letter of acceptance says;
The resolutions are in accord with my
views, and heartily concur in the prin
ciples they announce,
The last resolution Of the platform
which Hayes heartily concurs in" is as
follows:
The national administration merits
commendation for its honorable work in
the management of domestic and foreign
affairs; and President Grant deserves the
continued and hearty gratitude Of the
American people for his patriotism and
his immense service in war and peace.

CHINESE GRATITUDE.

With all the faults of the Chinese
race it is conceded that they are
shrewd, and it seems that they are not
incapable of gratitude. Through the
San Francisco Chronicle we learn that
the six companies have contributed
$4,000 to the Republican party in
California to defeat the Democratic
ticket. They know that if Tilden is
elected the Bnrliugame treaty will
be abrogated in ninety days. They
know that if Hayes is elected the
Chinese question will subsids and end
simply in au Investigation, as advo-
Gated by the Cincinnati platform. They
have not forgotten that the Republican
party in California and in this State
few years ago haiied.them as " a man
and brother" and George Cooley
Gorham denounced the opposition to
Chinese immigration throughout the
State as a +" Rebel yell" They know
that the Republican party is committed
10 the Buriingame treaty, and that it
is opposed to its modification or abro-
CATION. They know that the great
mass of the people on this coast have
appealed to Grant and his party to
modify that treaty and that he docs not
deign to notice their request. They
know that the Republican party il in
favor of Chinese immigration, other
wise that the treaty would not stand
six months. The mass of Republicans
on the coast are opposed to the China
men; but what do those who control
the destinies of the party care about the
interest Of the masses when these in
tsrests conflict with the capitalists and
corporations of the country, who want
cheap labor. A Boston shoemaker has
moro influence at Washington with the
Administration than FIVE hundred
thousand citizens of the Pacific Coast.
Grant has refused to interfere with the
Chinese treaty, and all the Republican
conventions have endorsed his admin
istration, even to the Carson conyen.
ton.

A La ME- DEFENSE.

Last week, when our reliable contem-
porary announced that Senator Jones
was expected on the next train from
the East, we statsd upon what We con.
slider reliable authority. that he would
not visit Nevada until the Presidential
election was decided. We also refer
red to bis record On the bill to restore
the silver dollar. and to the fact that be
voted with the Democrats aud against
the tools of the boDdholders and
money lenders on that important Meas
urs. and could not now stultify his re-
cord by taking the stump in this State
for tho Republicans. The Virginia
Enterprise, knowing that what was
stated in that article relative to the
conrse OF Senator Jones aud the Dem
ocrats on the silver question was true
to the letter, makes lame defense for
the Republicans who voted against the
bill, by questioning the motives of the
Democrats in supporting it. II is the
silliest attempt yet made by the Enter
prise to excuse the shortcomings of the
Republican party. How 1t is possible
for Senator Jones, Republican, to be
right III advocating the passage OF bill
to restore the silver dollar. aud wrong
for the Democrats to sustain him 10
doing so, is too knotty problem even
for the Enterprise, and in its attempt
to solve it proves that it is entirely be-
yond its depth. The silver dollar was
legal tender for the payment of the
interest. and the principal too, of the
public debt until Republican Con-
gress in 1873, made it otherwise, and it
is but simple justice to all concerned to
make it NO now. The people know the
motives of the party--the tools of the
bondholders--who defeated it, and in
Nevada, if true to themselves they will
surely remember it in November.
