The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1876-09-07

They have been sowing to the wind for
many years over on the Scioto bottom,
and now they are reaping the Nhirlwind.
They have been openly and notoriously
encouraging drunkenness, until they are
reaping the bitter fruits, and now they
whine and squeal, and pretend to think
drunkenness is not SO fine a thing after
all
Recently German preacher in Chilli
cothe kept getting drunk, and most
strange to relate, his congregation got
him to resign. Last week we published
an article from the Gazette of that place
about their Mayor, and the Advertiser
had the following:
THE MAYORS STATEMENT.-An Advertiser
representative called upon the Mayor on Mon
that he meant only to drink a few glasses OF
beer but was overcome and became intoxicated,
He remembers nothing, he says after he left
the saloon where he drank the beer. He ex-
ceedingly regrets the unfortunate affair, and
says that this will be the last oense in that di-
reciion.
our duty in this instance is plain. We SYM
pathize with the unfortunate man who has al
lowed himself TO be dragged down from a high
eminence 10y degrading appetite, and II is not
the Mayor as a man or citizen that we con-
we wish to repremand. We have sympathy
for him personally, but our duty to the public,
interests will not allow us to heed the prompt
ings of mercy or compassion, and overlook this
flagran, offense.
And now comes one of the Chillicothe
papers and has this to say about a Ger
man Doctor poisoning couple of chill
dren:
a
tartar emetic, prescribed by DIR. Wachen-
shwantz, occurred in this city last week. The
cup Of water with directions to give to two Of
Mr.. Strubel's little daughters, aged respectively
seven an9 Yen years, & VINO Mere ii III qoses o.
taken. The children.wer not dangerously Ill
when they commenced taking the medicine,
DIR. Franklin, who was summoned before the
death of the children, appeared to have no
cine. DIR. W. was drunk when he made the
prescription. A legal Investigation was talked
OF, but none was had. This Is the second case
has been charged.
OF course no legal investigation must
be had. He must be unvexed by sump-
tuary laws.
One of the Waverly papers this week
refers to the same case
DR.. c. Z. Wachenschwanz, of Chillicothe, a
former resident OF Waverly, administered an
overdose of tartar emetic TO two little German
children; last week, both Of whom
/ he gave out the dose, and he had no check upon
| the quantity, but thinks IL may have been from
six TO ten grains. This misfortune has happen
/ ed TO the doctor before, and we should think
the citizens would hardly continue giving him
an opportunity to make such mistakes
And now they are vexing the Demo
cratic candidate for Congress in that dis
trict. Even the Democratic papers ad-
NIT that Dickey has always been a
drunkard but now he is a reformer, and
has promised to quit, but he is accused
of still getting drunk, and even whipping
his wife.
The Waverly Watchman, right under
the shadow of the great distillery. says
The first charge that Gen. Geo. A. Sheridan
where he slung about a pint inside his loyal
hide, so that he could lie about drunken demo-
Gratis and rebels with the spirit and the under
And further:
There was more drunkenness and disorderly
conduct in Waverly, last Saturday, than we
/ have seen for many day. This don't speak
very well for the Republican meeting held here
that day; butit was nevertheless, true.
We had begun to fear that all our
Democratic friends had turned crusaders,
until we noticed the following in all
their papers:
Every voter should remember that Barnes,
the Republican candidate for Secretary of State,
was a ranting crusader. Work and vote in
/ favor of the election of William Bell, who is
honest and competent for the position. A man
whom the waves of fanaticism has never
touched.
And the Cincinnati Volksfreund, a
German Democratic paper, declares that
Hayes is utterly unfit for President, be-
cause he does not get drunk.
