Ex-Governor Hendricks is represented as
saying that the electoral commission having
gone according 10 law the result will be the
election Of Mr.. Hayes. He did not think the
commission acted according 10 the spirit of the
law, the decision will not be satisfactory to the
country, and the longer the people think upon
it the more It will be condemned Mr. Hen
bricks argued that the Democratic party is
gradually growing stronger, and will continue
TO do so, and predicted the defeat of Morton
in Indiana two years hence. In regard to
Louisiana Mr.. Hendricks said "The state
ment that Hayes will recognize the Nichols
government in Louisiana is absurd. He could
not do II without stultfying the methods to
which be will owe bis place To recognize
Nichols would be so say that Packard was
not elected by the votes in Louisiana, and
yet that he himself Hayes was.'
General Andrew w Dennison, for eight
years Postmaster Of Baltimore was found dead
in his bed on Saturday morning. He retired
in excellent health on Friday night. II is
supposed tina, ApOplexy was the cause of his
sadden deaih.

In the words Of a Southern journal, "the

they perjured themselves shall have found that

trous than honest defeat

A Curious Underground Railroad Acci-
dent.

In the open country where nnfenced road
crossings are frequent it is easy for cattle to
stray upon the track and it is not surprising
that accidents from such causes should take
place. But that disaster should occur up
on an underground railway in the heart of
CRATE city, seems almost incredible. Such
however, was the actual tact, recently, in
this city, the scene Of the accident being
within the central tunnel of the Harlem
Underground Railway, Forth avenue, near
57th street. The New York and Boston
express, train was at that point approaching
the station at AID street, half a mile distant,
when the engineer discovered four wbild
bulls upou the track. The passengers were
greatly terrified and Jared, but no person
was injured. All the animals were killed. 1t
appears that thay belonged to herd of wild
Texan cattle which was being driven across
the city; and on passing the level ground
near the Grand Central Depot, in front OF
the tunnel railway entrances, there four an
imals suddenly wheeled and dashed off in
to the middle tunnel on full gallop and
encountered the locomotive as stated. II
is evident that the entrance to the under,
ground railway need to be better guarded.
Perhaps some ingenious person can devise a
system Of gates to be operated BY the cars.

We have in our midst number of
mechanics and laboring men out Of
employment. A large number OF
them have families dependent on
their days labor. They seek employ
ment from day to day and probably
may secure means enough to half keep
their families. They have too much
pride to let this be known. We hear
them wishing that they were dead in
order to relieve them of seeing their
children starve inch byinch when it is
beyond their control to render them
any assistance which must be the case
if something does not transpire by
which they may gain means of live
lihood. There are families in our
midst that are living on ten cents a
day and some days less. The commu-
nifty at large do not know the suffer
ing amongst us, and will not believe it
until the coming winter when they
will hear of families that are supposed
to be in good circumstances being on
the verge of starvation.
There must be something dore and
!. the time to do it is on 9th Of October
at the ballot box. This is where al
stand on equal footing, and where We
can help suffering humanity. Pay ne
attention to the paid politicians ant
political demagogues, but from nov
until the election work for the Nation
al Greenback ticket. Let every far
: mer, merchant, mechanic and labor
} ing man who has the interest of hi
: family at heart study over this matte
and vote according to the dictations G
their own conscience.

The Economy of Farmers.

Probably no class of people are compel
led to be more economical than farmers;
but in the end they enjoy life quite as we'll
as any class of our citizens. A merchant
may dress better than farmer; but could
we read the anxiety of his mind-how he
is to support his family in style-how he is
to pay his notes at the bank-how he is to
collect doubtful debts; and many other
things-we should decide that the farmer,
with his new suit of clothes once in three
years, and his plain style of living, takes
more real enjoyment of life than the mer-
chant or professional man does. But far.
mers should live within their incomes,
however small they may be. 1t is in saw
| ing or taking care of what you have that
most affects your income. Just think OF
the reckless folly of leaving farm wagon
out exposed to the sun and rain, winter and
summer, as some farmers do. It seems
that such farmers are partially demented
Not only wagons but all kinds of farm i'm.
pletements are left by many farmers &c
be ruined by sun and rain. It is the mos
important branch Of economy to keep imple
ments we'll painted, and under cover wher
not in use. A rich farmer may be able tt
afford to be careless in this respect, but no
the farmer of moderate means. Nor car
farmers afford to use the old style, cumber-
Gus farm tools that do poor work and re
quire much more time to do their worl
than new implements do; and here also il
economy in buying the best implementl
that exist, because "time is money" to sa,
no thing of the superior manner in which
the best implements do their work, b.
which crops are increased. But in all O
your efforts to economic, don't neglect I,
give your children good common educa.
tion at least. 1t costs but trife to sent
them to the district schools now every
where established, and see that they Attent
regularly, and that they learn their lessons
No farmer living can afford to rear fami.
ly Of children without fair education
But one of the best aids in giving children
general knowledge of what exists in tn
world and what is transpiring therein ar
the newspapers and magazines of the day
and you will find it economy that pays wei
to subscribe for them literally, as no far
) mer exists who has repented of laying be
fore his children a numerous supply of tn
, best current news and literature of times

The Workingmen, or, Greenbackers,
(which in convention assembled at juno
iion City last week:
Resolved, that we demand the immed late
repeal OF the School Book monopoly"
Well, you need not hold political con-
vsntion to do that thing. There is no law
creating a school book monopoly in these
United States. The press is free, and types
are cheap. The way to "repeal" book
monopoly II to print more books Tribune.

Of the Tribune. There are two pub

The Plethora of Money.

There has been hardly day for years
when some superficial chap has not rung in
our ears this clap-trap about the plentiful
ness of money. If we can believe these fell
lows, bank notes and greenbacks must be
rolling in wads in the cutters of Wall
street, and bank vaults, in imminent danger
of explosion from the pressure of idle mon
ey within them, ought to be hooped imme,
diately.
A great many people-here and there an
editor-who open their mouths and shut
their eyes and swallow anything and every
thing, that tickles their palates, asking no
questions, have swallowed the "plenty of
money" lingo; butnot long ago gentleman
in Hartford owning valuable property, to
test the matter, advertised in one of the
daily papers that he wished to borrow
S., 900 on first mortgage security, the prop
erty-worth twice that sum-to be apprais.
ed by a committee of five properly chosen
by borrower and lender. The only response
he received was from a man who misread
the advertisement and supposing that the
advertiser desired to lend $4,000, came al
once to borrow it. AT the same time the
Hartford papers were ringing the change!
on the plethora" of money at the banks.
Now what are we to think when day af
ter day this ding dong about vast amount
of money lying idle in the banks sounds Il
the peoples tortured ears? Why, there ar
only two things to think. Either tn
whole cry is hoax and this "vast amount
in bank is not in bank or safe or treasur
vault, or by some iniquitous bank law Q
money monger's trick, it pays better to lie
money lie idle: than to lend it at a reasonabI
rate of interest or invest it in business

The Tribune is glad THE PRESS has
become an "organ," and no doubt the
the Herald is also happy. Well we
are willing to make the tax payers
feel better than either of them. In
order to do this we make the following
proposition to Mr.. John w. Over
myer, our worthy County Treasurer,
who was the first officer in Perry coun-
ty who dared stand by the tax payers
in opposition to the Herald and the
court house ring: We will publish
the Tax Notice six weeks, which is the
time the law requires, for FORTY DOL
LARS.

The Herald and the Extra 800 Grab.

1t is being denied that the Herald
refunded the extra one hundred dol
lars paid for publishing the Commis-
sioners Report. We have it from two as
responsible men as there are in Perry
county that it was paid back, and these
men know. This report was gotten
up for the purpose of showing that it
was all right for the Herald to pocket
this money. The money was refun-
ded and our County Treasurer and
County Auditor deserve the thanks
of the tax payers for their promptness
in having it done.

eve Must Promise Them That Their
Only Salvation is in the Democratic
Party, Which Is The Greenback Par
ty and Their Friend"

The Democracy are billed to hold
a meeting in this place on Saturday
next to tell the honest workingman
his duty. They propose to tell the peo-
pie that the Democratic party is pure,
and it is the duty of every business
man and laborer to vote the ticket at
the coming election. They will de-
nounce the Resumption Act in bitter
terms. The late Democratic Con.
gress did the same thing, and after re.
ceiving the support OF the public they
laughed at the nice trick they had
played on the Ignorant workingman.'
They have deceived you once and will
double deceive you if you place conf
dence in them again.
