Do our eyes deceive our ear
sight? Are visions about? The
Daily Graphic, Republican in poll
tics, has the fairness to say, right
out and above board:
"In this campaign it were well if
Republicans would concede to their
adversaries a monopoly of the fab
rication business. Let the follow
ers of Hayes tell the truth as much
as possible, and get along with just
as few lies as will support life.
They might drop, for instance, as
improbable language, that new
yarn about Tilden having had $25,-
600 of the Credit Mobilier steal;
and that other one which alleges
that Hendricks was the Vice Presi-
dent of the reasonable knights of
the Golden Circle. What's the use?
And that grossly improbable story
that 'in a recent speech Zebulon 3.
Vance, Democratic candidate for
Governor of North Carolina, said !:
L am sorry that I laid down my
arms in 1865; am in favor OF re
enslaying the negro, and if that can
not be done at once, my idea is to
adopt a plan which viii bring about

deprive the negro Of educational

The Chicago Inter-Ocean has re
ceived the following important an
nouncement from Castle Rock,
Minnesota:
To the editor of the Inter-Ocean:
Edwin Miller Strickland is the
name given to a son born to Leo
Miller and Matte Strickland at
Castle Rock, Minnesota, the 18th
inst. The new social order pro
poses to compound the terminating
surnames Of parents in their chill
dren, and perpetuate the name of
the mother instead of the father
Every child would thus bear its IA
theirs and mothers name, but in the
next generation the fathers name
would be dropped. This arrange
ment is claimed to be in harmony
with nature, and far more just than
the present system. The cares and
responsibilities of maternity is be
lieved by friends Of social freedom,
give the mother a title in her chill
dren that the father can never pos
sess.
Our readers will perhaps remem-
Der that year or so ago Mr.. Leo
Miller and Miss Matte Strickland,
of Michigan, both believers, as we
understand it, in the social heresies
peculiar to Woodhullism, and op-
posed to what they call the "degra-
dation of marriage" resolved to
make a new departure and go into
a sort Of partnership without sub
jecting themselves to the legal re-
straints of the marriage tie. A
contract was signed, therefore,
whereby the parties agreed to live
together so long as both should
agree, but the partnership might be
terminated by either party at any
time when the yoke grew burden
some or the union unsatisfactory
1t was said that the parents and
friends Of Miss Strickland were
much panied at her course; but en-
treaty was of no avail, and the two
young disciples of Woodhullism be
gan their experiment. They moved
to Minnesota, where they have since
been living quietly and without
attracting much attention. Now
comes the above announcement
