The "Bread or Blood" report from
Ironton had a slim foundation. 1t
originated in the holding of meet
ing to organize the "Workingmen's
Mutual Benefit Association. 1t was
apeaceable and orderly assemblage,
and no desire was expressed, or at
tempt made, to obtain food by vio-
lence. That political pest, the Dema-
gogue, gave currency to the "blood"
part for party purposes.

Mr.. Stones chicken-coop and
corn-crib bill was defeated in the
House last week, and here is the out
come of it, as related by the cores
pondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer:
"Mr. Stone, of Gallia, is on his
high horse because his chicken coop
bill was beaten. He threatens to
turn the Grangers loose with their
plowshares beaten into tomahawks to
take scalps of the legislators"
We believe the bill right, and 1t
should have received the sanction of
our law makers. By making such
breaking mere misdemeanor
amounts to no punishment at all.

West VIRerNIA is becoming note

WEST VIRGINIA is becoming noted
for its administration of Lynch law.
Elsewhere may be found full partlcu-
lars of recent case of mob violence
at Charleston. These transactions,
the country over, are too common,
and are altogether wrong. A mob,
swayed as it almost always is by pas
sion and revenge, is a poor tribunal
for the administration of justice.
The judgment under such state of
excitement, cannot be relied upon for
soundness of action. The innocent
may be made to suffer alike with the
guilty, and it is the duty of all good,
law-abiding citizens to enter their Sc
rious protest against such acts of
outlawry. At the same time that this
is all true, is there not a reason, we
will not say excuse, tor this action on
the part of the people? 1t Is claim
ed that there is. And that claim is
based upon the slow, and oftentimes
inefficient, action of our Courts.
Criminals, it is claimed, have too
much consideration shown them;
they are not treated with that GER
tain, swift punishment, which their
crimes, and the public good, deserve
and require; upon mere technicalities
their trials are postponed from term
to term, until eventually injustice,
crime and wrong go unpunished.
These thoughts are in the minds of
the people everywhere, and they
work out into mob-violence. The
remedy is with the Courts. In all
cases, but more especially in aggra
waited ones, let trial and punishment
be swift and sure, and we will soon
hear no more of the work of mobs.

If there is country thoroughly
and effectually cursed with "dema-

the United States of America.-Bul-
letin.
The Pharasees of old were the
greatest demagogues of which his
tory affords an example, and it was
their practice to appear in public
places, (would have appeared in the
press but they hadn't any and cry
aloud, 81 am holier than thou"
SENATOR SHERMAN has written a
letter favoring the nomination of
Gov. HAYES for President. Consid-
ering all things, the Senator believes
"the nomination of Gov. Hayes
would give US the more strength, TAX
ing the whole country at large, than
any other man."
The following extract from Mr..
SHERMAN's letter is so true that it
needs to be impressed upon the mind
of every friend of the Union:
"Every movement made by this
Democratic House of Representa-
tives is an appeal to every man who
ever voted with the Republican par
ty to rally to its support again, and
to every man who fought in the Un
ion army, to vote with US to preserve
the results of his victory"

about four years old, sorrei. both hind

In the Osage reservation, at $l.25 per
acre, the land lying all in one body.
They started homeward, and on the
first days drive tho horses both died
from the effects Of drinking alkali;
and the party hauled their wagon to

The late rains nave accustomed con-
siderable damage by washing out

many places the ground has become
