EDITOR JoURSAL:-We feel thauful
to write of beautiful weather, bod
roads, prospect for more than half fop
of peaches, community in healthypn-
dition, farmers busily engaged inbre-
pairing to plant-and many, very hny
other things which bespeak pro3eri-
ty, progress and enterprise for oIvil-
lage.
Among the which, is just compiled a
photograph gallery, opposite the lost-
office, said to afford the finest lidt of
any like establishment in Gallia cohty ;
the best looking gardens; n singig So
ciety, the benefit of which, may ap-
preciated by attending our neetigs at
the Crown City NJ. E. Church.
There remains but one thing Indirect
opposition to a pleasant society h our
village-that is, unity of purpOsdn en-
cOuraging morality, christianity nd all
| their proper attributes. Dendncing
all indulgence tending to corrpt the
morals of our nature, which at best, is
bordering on depravity. This ian be
done, if those of our members fbl anx-
iOus for our future interests in peace,
prosperity, cOntentment and happiness.
Since the subject of dreamingls being
scientifically discussed amongu', we
would feel thankful for the yays OF
some ''matter of fact" and sciatific
gentlemen through the columns q this
paper, regarding the probable case OF
this phenomenon: "What part II the
encephalon is in an active state, sring
the absence of consciousness ex-
ternal impressions, &c. 2"
We want the views of any goo rea-
soner, who has previously give the
subject other than physiological con-
sideration. HOPE.

ENGLAND, in its early history, had
its Star Chamber, a secret council,
where fine, Imprisonment and mutila-
ton were inflicted on mere oral pro-
ceediDg, without hearing the accused,
But even in that age Of semi-barba-
rism, the thing became so odious to
the people that parliament, in the
reign of Charles l., was compelled
to decree its abolition. And yet, in
this the Centennial year of American
liberty, and in the bright light of the
close of the nineteenth century of
Christian civilization, 3S Democrats
voted, in effect, 20 establish such pro-
ceedings in the American Congress
Ohio furnished six of these 80 votes,
viz: Cowan, Hurd, Neil, Southland,
Vance and Walling. At the next
election, all of these disciples of the
despotisms of the remote ages should
be replaced by men of more enlight-
ened views. In this land of freedom
we want no Star Chamber.

The Indiana Democratic platform
must be q sort of an india rubber
concern. 1t is certain it is being
stretched to suit both infiationists
and hard money democrats. Says the
Washington correspondence of the
Cincinnati Enquirer:
The New York World rejoices over it
as defeat of the Inflationists, and such
men as Hurd, of Ohio, are happy, while
greenback men like Vance, of Ohio, and
Franklin, of Missouri, think they can
stand on it. Gilbert Walker, of Virgin
ia, says the platform is Rag Baby with
a metallic helmet. Judge Bright, of
Tennessee, says it is Rag Baby with a
gold eye.
All of which signifies that the peo-
pie are to be hoodwinked by mean
ingless utterances, and that there is
no hope of currency reform at the
hands of the Demo cratic party.

The Indiana Democracy had a
grand old time last Wednesday. The
occasion was the meeting of the State
Convention. A lunatic asylum is the
abode Of order compared with it.
Confusion confounded reigned su-
preme. And all about who should
be Governor. The convention was
divided between two factions, one for
Holman and the other for Landers.
They stormed and bullied each other
for some hours, until worn out, and
then, for the sake of the spoils in
prospect, joined hands and nominated
a third man. The platform believes
in the ancient doctrine, that gold
and silver are the true and safe ba-
sis for the currency"

CONGRESS passed a bill reducing
the salary OF the President to $25,
600. President GRANT has vetoed the
bill, and mainly for this reason: when
the Presidents salary was fixed at
$25, 700, Congressmen got only Sc a
day, or, at 120 days for the session,
$720 year. Now their pay is $5,-
600 year, or seven times as large as
it was, while the Presidents has only
been doubled. The Presidents ar

THERE came very near being a riot
at Brownstown, on the Kanawha, last
week. The hands employed on the
government locks at that place, struck
for higher wages. The contractors
refused to pay higher wages, and
went to Richmond and had car
load of negroes, fifty in number, to
come out. The whites determined
to compel the colored laborers to
leave, threatening to hang them if
they refused. The Sheriff of Kan
awha county was applied to for as
sistance, and he went up with one
hundred men and prevented further
disturbance.

GETTING the wrong pig by the
ear" is the way the correspondent of
the Cincinnati Enquirer expresses it.
1t happened in this wise. Some over
jealous Democrat started the story
that President Grant had ordered the
payment of Government money to
carry New York for the Republicans.
Here was O mine of richness for a
Democratic Congress. A man by
the name of Davenport was the re-
pository of this startling informa-
tion. He wascalled before the Com
mittee on Expenditures, and his pres
ence was greeted with smiles-all
was lovely in the Democratic mind
there was to be an explosion which
would astonish the country, and
strike dumb the Radicals. Well,
Davenport testified, but, instead of
duplicating Gen. Grant in any wrong
use Of money, he made the hair of
that committee stand on end by max
ing revelations, sustained by docu-
mentary evidence, showing that as
tonishing election frauds have been
perpetrated in New York for years
by the Democratic party. The scene
at this moment must be imagined;
the pen is inadequate to describe it;
the pencil of MAST might picture it.
1t is no wonder that members of the
party are found voting for secret ses-
sjoas

Silver is rapidly taking the place
of fractional currency. At Washing
ton, the first day, $4,000 was paid
out; at Cincinnati, $I1 1895. 1t should
be remembered that this is not an
addition to the circulation OF the
country; it simply takes the place of
SO much of our present fractional
currency. Hence the necessity of
not boarding it, because it is some
thing new. Don't sink it in your
pocket; keep it going, else we shall
soon find scarcity of change, and
business matters embarrassed there
by.

The Democratic Central Commit
tee of Gallia County is composed, we
believe, of five members. Well,
this body of five men met at the
Bulletin office, last week, and ap-
pointed delegates to attend the Con-
gressional Convention, and then as
sumed the power to instruct them to
vote in said convention for VANCE.
And this was done in the name of
Democracy, which Webster defines to
mean government Of the people. :"
What farce! A caucus of five
men presumes to speak for the
eighteen hundred Democratic voters
of Gallia county, and then call the
thing Democracy: "a government Of
the peopler' Shame on such per-
version of a grand, old name!
