Some of our delinquent subscribers
may think that we are importunate, in
SO often urging payment. Let such read
the following, which is a specimen OF
what appears in a good many papers
these days. 1t is from the Holmes Coun-
ty Republican:
A WORD TO OUR DELISoUENT SUBSCRIBERS
Friends, about five hundred of you owe
US 81 each, couple hundred owe us 81,
and few, we blush to say it, have never
paid a dollar on their subscription to the
Republican since its first issue 1t is
only 81 each to most of you, but it is
from $500 to $4,000 to us, and we need
the money. We believe you are all
honest, we will know it if you settle
these accounts and enable us to pay our
debts. We know times are hard, but il
is not as hard for each of you to pay
your little bills as it is for US to do with
out the large amount due us. Sgnalize
the beginning of the new year; the Gen.
tennial year. by paying for the Republi-
can. To many of you we have mailed
the paper regularly for the last year and
paid the postage and you have not re-
mitted US one cent. If your conscience
will let you rest in such case, you must
have blank of a conscience. We are
talking to those who know themselves to
be in arrears, and to each one who owes
US we say, we mean you.

Last week we wrote-The editor would
better strike out for Iceland, etc. What
surprises us now is to be criticised be-
cause we did not write had better strike
out for Iceland" There is no error in
speaking and writing more frequently
made than this of saying had better 60, "
had better stay at home" etc, indstead
of would better go, or would better stay,
and yet no more fragrant or inelegant.
1t certainly is not necessary to defend
would better" and yet we are told a
professor" criticised our expression
Marietta Register.
A year or two ago the Register criti-
cized us for saying, had better lei" :"
We admit that such expressions are not
in accordance with the rules of Gram
mar, but they are sanctioned by common
sense. and ease of expression.
Would better stay at home" is about
as uncouth as old Thomas Ewing's idea
which he started a short time before his
death, that "Ohioan" should be "0hian. "
Several papers attempted to introduce
this word, "Ohian," but they soon saw
how ridiculous it was, and abandoned it.

The Jackson STANDARD has been pro-
pounding questions to US in reference to
the right of inmates at the Soldiers
Home to vote. As long as it occompa-
MED its interrogations with epithets, we
declined to extend an answer. As it
puts its question this week in a respect
are now and always have been in favor Of
soldiers voting at the Home when they
considered that their permanent place Of
residence, and claimed no other voting
place. If they had a residence else
where, and claimed a right to vote at the
place from whence they came, then we
are of opinion they should have no right
to cast a ballot in Montgomery county.
They should not have the right to vote
at two places, arbitrarily deciding at the
time which one they will choose. No
other citizen of the State has that right,
and we do not believe it should be exer-
cised by the inmates OF that institution.
We believe, in brief, in giving to the lat
ter all the electoral rights enjoyed by
other citizens of Ohio, and no more
Portsmouth Times.
Mr.. Newman dodges the question.
What we asked him was, how he, as Sem
ator, voted. If he will answer that, we
will publish the law against which he
voted. That will show whether it per-
mitted these crippled soldiers to vote in
two places. Come Mr.. Newman, how
did you vote when the law referred to
was passed2

We have yet to notice the paper pub
lished in the l1th Congressional District
which disapproves of the vote of its Rep
against the million and a half
Centennial Grab.-[Gallipolis Bulletin.
We think Col Vance did just right in
voting as he did.
Now will his paper, the Bulletin, an
swer US fair question: Did Col. Vance
subscribe $500, or any other sum, tow
ards rebuilding the shops at Zaleski, and
then "squeal," as the gamblers call it,
and 60 back on his word, and refuse, or
neglect, to pay? Answer.
We have been led to make the above
inquiry in consequence of seeing the fol-
lowing in one OF our exchanges:
During the Congressional campaign in
Vinton county, in which the two candi
dates for Congress, Col. Vance and III. s
Bundy were taking part, Vance had
much to say about idle men out of EN-
ployment and somebody asked him tc
assist in rebuilding the car works there
and show his real sympathy in that way
He declared it to be a good idea and
promised to give as much as Mr.. Bundy
for that purpose, neither having any ii
nancial interest therein. Bundy was also
solicited and subscribed $500 and paid it
Vance also subscribed $500, but refuses
to pay it. At least, that is the story the
papers tell. Which now shows most
sympathy for the idle and suffering peo
pie?

The people of this place were astound-
ed one day last week to see in the Gin
cinnati papers dispatch from McArthur'
stating that w. A. Tolley of Portsmo nth,
and for many years resident of this
place, had been indicted and arrested for
adultery. 1t appears that he had been
too intimate with Miss Earhart, who
some years ago resided in this place.
1t is TO be hoped that the charge may
turn out to be untrue. There is a good
deal of sympathy for Mr.. Tolley's fam
lily. His wife is good woman, and for
her sake, as well as his, it would cause
general satisfaction to learn that there is
some mistake somewhere, and that the
accusation is untrue.

Many OF the baser sort Of Democratic
papers deny that the man whom the
party highly honored at Washing gton
City this winter, had named his son after
John Wilkes Booth, the murderer of
President Lincoln. But that he did so,
no man with any regard for his reputa-
ton for truth will deny.
Last week the Washington Tribune,
the only Democratic daily in Washing
ton, said:
As friend and defender of Mr.. Nor
rison, and a well-wisher of the Demo
cratic party whenever it acts with decen-
CIV, we Join the New York Tribune in de-
manding the removal of this admirer Of
assassins from the Clerkship of the prin-
clpal committee of the Democratic
/ House. Such beastly. barbarism as this
Hambleton has been guilty of should not
be tolerated in a cleaner of spittoons in
a bar-room. Occupying a representative
position as he does, his retention would
cost the Democratic party half a million
of votes. just such a thing as this
would turn the National election. We
assure the Chairman Of the Ways and
Means Committee that this matter shall
not be allowed to rest until he takes ac-
ton in the case. We have proofs, and
shall present them, that this Clerk is
guilty of the infamy charged.
Whereupon Hambleton resigned.
Thus the rebel Democracy has discovered
that it must go slowly until it gets more

NOTES ON JACKSON COUNTY.
ny d. NACKLEY.


But a small part Of the lands in Jack
son county was bought by the early set
tiers for several years after the county
was settled. the pioneers squatting on
the public lands. Up to the year 1885.
when the Welsh people commenced
coming to the county, nearly
half Of the land in the south part Of the
county was owned by the Government.
When the land was fresh, il produced
pretty fair crops, but there was no mark
ct for grain at home, and there was no
means Of transportation. The immense
amount Of timber, especially oak. with a
crop Of mast or acorns nearly every year,
made pork plenty and cheap, but il
would not pay to haul il to Portsmouth
or Gallipolis, from thirty to forty miles
over the mud roads. Hogs were so wild.
running in the woods, that they could
not be driven to market. / think now,
that money might have been made by
raising cattle and horses and taking
them to an Eastern market The range
was so good in summer that horses and
cattle became very fat before fail, and
the corn, hay and fodder that could have
been produced from the virgin soil, would
have made it practicable to have winter.
ed stock cheaply.
When iron furnaces were being built
in Scioto aud Lawrence counties, from
the year 1925 to 1885, it was discovered
that there was an abundance Of the best
iron ore in the south part Of the county,
and the vast forests had not at that time
been destroyed to any great extent The
difficulty was that our county was too
far from the Ohio River to haul iron
there, or goods out to the furnaces.
About tho year 1895, Rogers, Hurd &
Co. Of Lawrence county, purchased q
quantity of public lands in Hamilton
township near the Scioto county line
and built jackson Furnace the mex
year They hauled their iron 10 the Ohio
River at Seiotoville, "A distance OF perhap.
twelve to fifteen miles.
About the year lS4S, company wal
formed to build Keystone Furnace. ia
Bloomfield township. In this company
were John Campbell, now Of Ironton and
John Mcconnell and his brother Sam
uel Mcconnell, then Of wheelersburgh
and others. They hauled part Of theil
iron to Gallipolis, and at times took Il
down Raccoon Creek in boats
These two were all the furnaces bull
in jackson county prior to the construc
tion of the Scioto and Hooking VALLEY

construction Of this road, and the grea
impetus given to the development Of th'
iron and coal business in the county.

Jesse Simon, OF Youngstown, o., made
thirty-one pounds of maple sugar from
forty trees, in a run of a day and a half
the latter part of last December. Who
ever heard of such an instance before2
We find the above in one of our ex-
changes. We can answer that question.
No one ever heard of such an instance,
because there is not a word of truth in
it. 1t is frst-rate yield for trees to
average four pounds to the tree for the
entire season, generally lasting from the
middle of February until the latter part
of March. For many years we operated
a sugar camp of 100 fine large trees, and
in thirty days run three hundred pounds

A year or so ago two editors in New
Jersey, Lands and Carruth by name,
got into a newspaper quarrel, when Lam
dis went to Carruth's room and shot him
in the head. The man lived several
months with the ball in his brain, when
he died. Then the murderer was arrest
ed and tried. As no man in this country
is permitted to act as juror in a crimi-
nal case unless he is an idiot, of course
this jury acquitted the murderer, on the
ground of insanity. Perhaps the next
insane man who commits murder in New
Jersey will be taken by masked men and
hung on the nearest tree. That is the
only certain way now to insure the pun
ishment of murderers.

Some wicked Radical sent the fol-
lowing from Washington City to the Gin
cinnati Gazette:
There was a scene at the door Of the
House of Representatives q few days
since. One OF the assistant door-keepers
is a Confederate from Cork, and a good
Democrat. Pat. was there when Mr..
Luckey, the Presidents private secreta-
ry, arrived with a message. Pat was in
trouble with a couple Of individuals, and
Mr.. Luckey waited until the matter was
arranged lie then introduced himself,
and said he had a message from the
President Of the United States.

Mr.. Luckey handed him the formida-

United States.

A GENTLE REMINDER.

The Democratic Legislature of last
year did an outrageous piece of work in
attempting to deprive Toledo of the right
of self government. The Democrats lost
votes by that action. The Republicans
are now trying the same game in Cincin-
natl. Let them take warning by the
fate of their opponents and desist. The
people of this country have a weakness
in favor of governing themselves
[Steubenville Gazette.
We did think so, and the people bad
that privilege when they were permitted
to protect themselves from the curse of
by the McConnellsville or
but we remember that Demo
cratic Legislature took from the people
the right of governing themselves. But
then the Democracy is always consist
snt and honest, you know.

A short time ago the Columbus cores

about some of the poor. distressed fel-

fer good place to work, instead of trust
ing to luck, or a convenient oYen-window
or insecure kitchen door for a susie

his answer that he would.
One of the gentlemen of the party,
hearing the question and answer told
the fellow that he had work on his farm
near the city, for at least twenty men,
and would gladly pay good price for
the labor of such men as he

well, my man, have above 200 acres

replied the gentleman.
"Oh, answered the burly, dirty rascal;

two thousand acres" and with a grunt
laid his aristocratic form down to sleep,

Last week we spoke of Bowen's charges
against Beecher. The Church Commit
tee cited Bowen to appear and testify,
but it seems as though he is disposed to
back down. We find the following in an
account of recent meeting in which Mr..
Beecher spoke of Bowen:
Mr.. Beecher had now allowed his voice
to die down to one in which were ex-
pressed mingled sadness and reproach,
when, suddenly bursting forth with his
loudest and most vehement tones: "As
for myself, pronounce the allegations
as false, and, with Almighty God before
me- and the judgment day, srraign him
as a slanderer and liar"
