Be Happy.

THERE are many people in this
world who are afraid to be happy, who
go moring about with the accumulated
mold of SourneSS clinging to them so
closely that nothing short of an earth
quake or resurrection could shake 1t
off, thereby denying themselves the
pleasure of seeing the laugh-side OF
nature that trills and ripples all over,
Just like the sunshine. Surely there is
10Y enough in Gods workshop to
sweep out all the sadness if we would
but seek it. Shall l tell you when
you may hope to find this antidote for
sorrow? When the angels have en-
larged and purified your own heart.
When pain, fear, woe, anguish,
hunger, thirst, have penetrated
through every corner. When you
have WINGED under the necessity of a
lifetime.
When you have lived long enough
to detect the mockery in the keynote
of living.
When you depend less upon the dis
position and acts of others than on
your own. When the rooms in your
head and heart are all rented to re-
spectacle tenants, whose articles OF
agreement will be to keep the furniture
and drapery in repair, and whose lease
will only expire with life. When for
getfulness, selfshness, envy, malice,
hatred and all the catalogue of deadly
sins will be rare visitors instead of
fixtures. When love, joy, hope, care,
thoughtfulness and above all charity,
have taken possession and will thus
secure to you the full and unabridged
edition of happiness in this world, as
well as in world No. 2, and will open
up thousand avenues-a thousand
outlets toward Gods suffering child
rem, and the poor whom we have al
ways with ye.-E1change.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

Next week we will urge, in detail, why
every man on the Republican county
ticket should be elected. This week we
will only say that the Democratic party
in this county are ashamed to talk about
reform at home. They know that the
last Democratic Treasurer Of this county,
and the last Democratic Board of County
Commissioners, loaned themselves large
amount of public money, and sunk ten
to twelve thousand dollars in private
speculations in Iron Valley Furnace and
the Citizens Bank. The people who had
to pay this over again in taxes have not
forgotten it.
The people also remember that for the
past eighteen years the Republican party
has had full control in this county. The
officers have not rnisapplied dollar oI
public money. They have built beau
tiful and substantial Court House, Jail
and Infrmary, have paid for them all
without oppressive taxation, have paid
all the old railroad debt, and now the
county does not owe one dollar in the
world, and taxes are being reduced
Here is genuine reform. The people o
the county propose to trust this party.

Rev. Robert Williams.

This useful and eminent servant of
Christ departed this life on Sabbath
evening, Sept 10th, 1876, at his residence
near the Moriah Church, in Jackson
County, Ohio, at the mature age Of IS
years. He was u native of Anglesea,
Wales, was raised in the Welsh Presby-
terian Church, (Calvinistic Methodists),
and entered the ministry when about 20
years of age. Served the Master as
special missionary to the Welsh people
and sailors at Dublin, Ireland, for some
years, and in the year 1886 emigrated to
this country, and settled in Jackson
county, Ohio, where he labored faithfully,
with unequaled acceptance, among his
countrymen there, until his death. He
was esteemed as the father Of the
churches in the Jackson and Gallia
Welsh Settlement, and he being the
pioneer minister Of his denomination in
the Settlement, it is proper to state that
his ministry was marked with great sue
cess, and under the blessing Of his Divine
Father the Church prospered and in
creased in numbers to the extent that
there are at this time twelve church or
carnations of the same communion in
the Settlement; principally constituting
what is known as the Jackson and Gallia
Presbytery, as well as eight other minis
tiers, all of whom with one exception)
enjoyed his ministry before they respond
ed to their call to the sacred office, and
all Of whom now mourn his loss as their
father in Christ. While his health had
been quite poorly for a number Of years,
he was, Notwithstanding. regular and
prompt in all his engagements. He |
preached regularly at least twice every |
sabbath until the last, unless prevented |
1y sickness. and indeed oftentimes filed |
ais pulpit when in justice to himself he
vas not able to preach. Father Williams

d the cause of education, and admired

JUDGE HARPER.

We did not intend to say anything
more about candidates for Judge, but the
Democratic papers keep up their persist
ent lying about Judge Harper, and we
will make brief reply.
Judge Harper went west, and noticing
that the Democratic papers appeared to
be disposed to make low, coarse attacks
upon him, told his friend Judge Thomp-
son, that he did not desire bitter news
paper quarrel in his case, and it would
perhaps be we'll to say so to the Republi-
ban papers in the district We received
such a request from Judge Thompson.
We supposed the STANDARD was the only
paper SO notified. We had been in Ports
mouth, and had expressed ourself pretty
freely, and pretty roughly, on the Bris-
tow fraud and foolery, and to Judge
Thompson among others. We supposed
that was why we were cautioned. We
felt sensitive, became offended, and drop
ped Judge Harper. He and Judge
Thompson at once came here, and assur-
ed us that we were mistaken.
That is all there was of it, Now it is
charged that Judge Harper wanted to
run-not as a Republican, but independ.
ent-told us to drop him out, &c. Judge
Harper is running on the Republican
ticket. as the regular nominee-has al
ways been Republican, is proud of it
and every Republican should vote for
him
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1876-09-21

When Judge Harper was at this place
attending District Court, he called our
attention to certain insinuations made,
that he had seen" us, and we had again
come to his support, meaning, perhaps
that he had paid us, in some way. for
that support. Judge Harper is too hon
orable man to offer us pay for support,
and he knows us too well to dare such a
thing We never received cent from
him, or the promise of any thing, save
and except the regular subscription to
the STANDARD, which he has been taking
for several years.
Judge Harper did see" us. He got
the STANDARD on Wednesday night, and
at FIVE next morning he started to Jack
son, before he got his breakfast, to see
what was the matter. This convinced
us that he desired our support, and
whatever that may be worth, he shall
have it-not for reward, or hope thereof,
but because he is a good Republican, a
able. fearless, upright Judge,
md an honest man.

1t is astonishing to see how the Demo.
cratic papers can figure up gains, and
take comfort, from the crushing defeat
they have met in Vermont and Maine.
Last year the Republican majority in
Maine was about three thousand eight
hundred; now it is about sixteen thou
sand. We carry every congressional
district, and every county in the State,
and the Legislature is almost solid Re-
publican. But they compare the result
with some other election, years ago. If
Ohio should give 10000 in October, they
would compare the result with that of
1868, and shout over a clear gain of
1900.
The Gods truth about the matter is,
that the result in Vermont and Maine
settles the matter, and the Democrats
know it. Hayes will be elected beyond
any peradventure.

RANDOM THOUGHTS.
BY THE EDITOR.

There are plenty of Democrats who al
most religiously believe that if Old Bill
Allen had been elected Governor of Ohio
last year, every man would have had his
pockets filed with greenbacks, and all
would be rich, prosperous and happy.
There were harder times in 1884, under
the administration of Gen. Jackson, than
there are now. There was a much worse
state of affairs in 1887, under Van Buren,,
and infinitely harder times in 1s57-6O,
under Buchanan. We had a Democratic
Governor and Legislature in Ohio, for
two years, and times grew worse. We
have had a very large Democratic ma
jority in the lower House of Congress
since March 4, 1875, and times grow
worse and worse. Now if Vance, and his
associates, have even attempted to do any
thing to make times better, what is it,
and will publish it in large, CAPITAL
LETTERS.
The truth of the whole matter is, legis-
lation, or Government in any shape, has
no more to do with making good or bad
times, than they have with the daily or
yearly motions Of the earth. Would not
any party in power for selfish motives, if
for nothing else, make times good? Both
parties have tried it, and both have failed
Then what is the matter? The war |
found the country in bad condition.
In our own county, as an illustration,
three furnace companies failed, during
the last three years of Buchanan's ad-
and every business man in
Jackson failed. Property was much

The Democrats again failed to bring
out their white flag at their Vance meet
ing. They carried it publicly in their
meetings in 1864 They are ashamed Of
it now. In fact, Vance has been flourish
ing the bloody shirt up in Hooking
county, and the Sentinel claims that he
received six wounds in the service. If
he did, he perhaps got drunk and fell
down and skinned his nose and barked
his shins, if the following, written by
one of his soldiers to the truthful Gin
cinnati Gazette be true:

ton from the Eleventh Ohio District).
was during the rebellion Colonel of the
Fourth West Virginia Volunteer infant
ry, of which regiment l was a member
until mustered out. Now, as it is claim
ed that he is in the front ranks of the
reform party, will give the readers of
the Gazette a short sketch of his career
during his stay with US, or while he was
commander of the regiment His cru.
elty toward his men were past all bear
ing. especially when intoxicated and on
one occasion, when he was president of
court martial, he sentenced two of his
men, for a trivial offence, to wear the
ball and chain for eleven months, or un-
til his term of Office expired. During
the siege of Vicksburg the regiment
made a charge on the enemy's works
he was in such beastly state of intoxi-
cation that he actually cut some of his
men.with his sword, and it was finally
taken from him by the General COM
manding the brigade. When the news
of the Emancipation Proclamation" |
reached us, and was hailed with shouts |
of applause, heIon the contrary, made a |
vigorous speech in opposition, and de- |
President Lincoln in bitter /
terms. He even went so far as to tell |
his men that they were fighting for a
id black republic" After his dis
charge, and Just before the Presidential
election in the fall of 1864, he sent sew
eral packages Of Democratic tickets to

Old Henry A. Wise, who was Governor
of Virginia when John Brown was hung,
is dead. He was a rebel General in re-
bellion, but he did not amount to any
thing. Before John Browns death, he

question of time. One died for carrying
out in practice the Golden Rule the
other died despised, unhung traitor.
