THE Cincinnati Enquirer, which. has
taxed its ingenuity to the utmost to in
vent all sorts of ridiculous roorback
stories upon the Republican candidate
for Secretary of State, Hon. Milton
Barnes, has for its latest, that he signed
a petition to the Legislature in favor
of law to prevent members of secret
organizations from sitting on juries.
We are authorized to state that this
story is untrue in toto. Mr.. Barnes
never saw, much less signed any such
d petition in any shape or form. The
charge is maliciously and basely false.

THE New York Public, financial
paper edited by W. NJ. Grosvenor,
goes to the very heart of the matter in
the following:
To treat this matter lightly, as one
involving no moral wrong, will rot
help Mr.. Tilden. For his success has
from the first confessedly depended
upon the support of class of citizens
who do not think it eXcusable to de-
fraud the Government. Is it in any
respect more honest to keep public
money by refusing to make the truth
full return of income which the law re-
quired, than to keep public money by
making false returns as distiller, or
by neglecting duty as an official, or by
defalcatiOn? An honest construction
of the law required every citizen to
make return OF his actual receipt in ex-
cess of those expenditures which the
law allowed to be deducted. If Mr..
Tilden did not do this, and if either by
placing false construction upon the
law, or by making no return, he kept
back money which the law required
him to pay, be defrauded the Govern
ment. Tweed defrauded New York
by false returns and by neglecting his
duty as an official. If his former asso-
ciate, Mr.. Tilden, defrauded.the United
States in ways involving neither more
nor less OF moral wrong, it would be
absurd to elect Mr.. Tilden President
and leave Tweed fugitive in foreign
lands.
There is another matter in this con-
nection worthy of notice. The false re-
turn of income made by Governor Til
den in 1862, was evidently taken by
the Assessor in making up an estimate
of his income in subsequent years, dur
ing which Tilden refused to make re-
turn. So that he not only defrauded
the Government in 1862, but misled the
Assessor into an undervaluation for the
years following, thus perpetuating,
through eleven years, the wrong origi-
nally done to the Government.

WE are afraid it will have to be ad.
mitted that Colonel Barnes, our candi'
date for Secretary of State, is not a
drunkard. lItis doubtful if the keenest
nosed Crusader could smell either whis
ky or beer on his breath. IF our Ger
man friends must have sot for Secre-
tary Of State, they will have to scratch
the Republican ticket. This is not ex-
acuy the Way the Democratic newspa-
pers put it, but that is exactly what it
amounts to. When you get it into
plain English, it does not seem that
the Democratiel newspapers are paying
4 very high compliment to the good
sense Of our German friends.-O. 8.

"IN eleven years." said Tilden, "the
people have paid in taxes the enormous
sum of 81, SOC, O,OOO,O ,OOO." 1t was with a
laudable zeal to diminish this account
as much as possible that Tilden slipped
out the back way when he saw the in
come tax collector coming up the grav-
el walk in front. 1t is absolutely ap-
palling to think how enormous would
have been the aggregate of taxation
had it not been for the ready wit and
patriotism of few Thousand of devot-
ed men like Tilden.-&. Louis Globe

PEOPLE who complain about the
magnitude of the national debt and the
weight of the nation, should remember
that Democratic victory in November
would soon double both. The success
of the Republican party, therefore, is
of momentous importance to the citi-
zens of the North, who have been pay
ing the legitimate costs of the war, and
do not feel now like being sued for
trespass for the damage that was done
when the national army pursued re-
bellious force through the Southern
States, in order to capture if and bring
it back into the Union.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer informs Us
that Tweed is under obligations to Til,
den, "for the reason that the Governor
has not made any efforts to bring him
to justice, and has permitted the Sheriff
of New York to retain his Office, after
allowing the greatest rogue of the coun-
try to go scot free" The Enquirer be-
lieves that "had Gov. Tilden been dis
posed, he could have had Tweed Gagged
long ago."

BY the reception which the leading
organ of the Democracy at Baltimore
has given to the Attorney-General's let
ter, the Republicans have new weap-
ons put in their hands for the present
campaign. 1t will not be hard to
rouse the old war feeling at the North,
while the Southern newspapers threat
en- display of force, and call the en-
roliment of minute men," If the
fire eaters supply grist for the outrage
mill, there will be no difficulty in turn
ing its wheels.-N. Y. Tribune.

tember, 1876, it was s2,095, ,1S1, ,94l IA.
The decrease in eleven years has been

the entire debt has been paid off under
the management of the Republican

THE New York Times ihtimates to
Mr.. TiIden's friends that if they do not
like its repeated charges that Gov. Til
den has committed perjury and fraud,
it stands ready to justify in suit for
libel. But Slippery Sam will risk no
such defense as that; he would rather
hire his Literary Bureau to write de-
fense of him for the Financial Chronicle.

THE peurile attempt to divert the
charge of perjury from Tilden to Hayes
will make votes for the Republican
party. Its a virtual acknowledgment
that all that has been said of Slippery
Sam under this head is true. Mean
time, preparations are in progress for q
suit to compel the 'reformer' to hand
over to the Government the taxes that
he admits having withheld.

come 'ogrief. The Albany Times, a lead
ing Democratic paper says: mo such
Generalization in the Democratic party

A VERY important matter is likely
to slip the attention of many Republi-
can voters, through mere thoughtless-
ness. Many are preparing to visit the
Centennial about the first of October,
and are likely to miss the election in
that way. Each person feels that his
is an isolated case of absence, and that
his vote will not be missed. Now, be-
fore you decide too precipitately as to
the value of your vote, count up how
many persons you know of in your
voting precinct who are going to be
absent at the same time. Now multi
ply this by two thousand, which is in
round numbers the total of voting pre-
cincts in Ohio. Note another fact :
How many Democrats do you know of
who intend to visit the Centennial the
first of October? This may seem a
small matter, because each absentee
naturally supposes that he is going 10
slipaway and not be missed, and that
all other good Republicans will be at
home to vote. But it is no small mat
ter. We must not be content to carry
Ohio in October. We must carry it
overwhelmingly, "by large major
ity." We can afford to lose Indiana in
October, and feel no Encouragement.
To loss Ohio, or carry it by decreased
majority, would give US desperate work
for the rest of the canvass. To carry
Ohio and Indiana both by round ma
jorities in October, would leave us only
a rollicking rabbit hunt" for the rest
of the canvass. Vermont has done
gloriously, but we have an ambition to
beat these Green Mountain boys. A
gain of ten in each voting precinct will
give us a gain of nearly twenty thous.
and in the State. Let us run no risks
on this by mistiming our visits to the
Centennial.-O S. Journal.

twelve to fifteen cents pound, causing
a gain to the wool growers of Ohio
to hundreds of thousands of
dollars. This advance is believed to be
directly due To relief from apprehension
of reduction in the tariff on wool
which was threatened by measures
pending in the House.-O. s. Journal.

KIND WORDS.
BY NORA DE WE'RE.

Kind words! how they cheer you,
when oppressed by sorrow and Difficult
ties Of every kind they scatter sun.
shine around your pathway, ditfusng
light in every direction.
Kind words are little things to speak
but when spoken in the right manner
they stir up deep emotions in the heart
too large for utterance Kind words
are priceless treasures; they have won
many friend, and conquered many an
enemy
They bring back thoughts of happier
days. They remind you of childhood
happy home They remind YOU of q
loving mother, whose words were al
WAYS kind and gentle.
When you are trying hard to do your
duty by others, and you become dis.
couraged and feel almost ready to give
up to the promptings Of your sinful
nature, how one kind word from some
one will cheer you and enable YOU tc
persevere Kind words bring happiness
to the hearts, and smiles to the faces Of
many persons who, perhaps, have never
known anything but wretchedness and
Woe
Speak kind words to all you meet
They cost so little, and bring so much
happiness with them. Speak kindly
and gently to the poor, for they have
enough to bear without the scorn and
frowns of this world.
Kind words leave no sting behind
them Speak kindly and gently to all,
and YOU will always be loved
