SOME LITTLE THINGS.

The little spring
IL q tiny thing.
But its flowing give life to the willing earth
The grass grows greener along its way
The flowers are brighter, and bless the day
That gave the sweet spring its birth.
The seed is small
That the child lets fall,
Yet the mother earth holds it to her bosom dear
The sunbeam glistens above its bed,
And soon TO the day it lifts its head
The future oak tree liz here.
One little word.
If in kindness heard
Has power far more than ever The spring can bear
1t lifts the sorrow that weighs the heart
1t takes from the bitter thought the smart
And gladdens the home Of care.
One act OF love
May an angel prove,
And smother the flame that malice would kindle
again.
t takes the venom from angers dart,
And brings together those long apart
To thee. is The lesson plain?

THE statement having been circu-

made in limestone regions where the
water is bad, Mr. o. 5. Bliss, the best
authority on butter, testifes: 1.-THE
story about not doying to wash butter
in lime district with hard water is
the merest bosh, and about on par with
the statement of a learned professor at
the last meeting of the Vermont
Dairymen's Association, to the effect
that he could pick out the butter made
in saltwater districts. Some of the
most reputable butter districts in the
United States are in the limestone
regions, where all the water is hard,
and all the butter is washed with hard
well water"

SUBSTITUTING SILVER FOR PA
PER.

/ Secretary SHERMAN is reported to
have said, a few days ago: "Let the
Government buy the silver bullion at
what it is worth, and coin silver dol.
lars and issue them freely to every
body who will surrender a paper dol
lar. That is a fair and voluntary ex-
change that robs nobody. The silver
dollar ought to be received by the
Government and made a legal tender,
precisely as the paper dollar now is"
Suppose this scheme to be carried
out, what would be the result? The
Secretary's opinion, the reporter tells
us, is that $50, GOO, 600 in paper would
be surrendered and $4,000, 600 silver
dollars be taken in its stead. The
truth is that q few of the new coins
would be called for as curiosities; the
rest would lie idle in the Treasury
vaults. They would be nc more val
liable and a great deal more incon-
yenient than paper dollars for home
use, and as they would be worth
lntrlnSlcally only w per cent. OF a
gold dollar, they would not be availa-
bic in the payment of debts abroad.
To manufacture SO, O00, 900 of them
would cost $45, 100000 in gold, the
Iinterest on which, at even four pei
cent, would amount to 81, $4,000
annually, and be no inconsiderable
addition to our national burdens.
Besides, the moment it became set,
tied that the greenbacks were re
deemable in silver dollars, and moi
in gold, they would sink 10 the leve
of silver, and thereafter the premium
on gold would iuctuate with the
price of silver. We should still suf
fer, as we do now, from the evils of :
currency which is not in harmony
with the currency of the world, and
our restoration to sound financia
health would be as far off as ever
If we are going to have the silver
dollar at all let us have it out ant
out, and not in the h~alf-hearted fash
ion proposed by Secretary Sherman

Gen. Taos. EwINe, in reply to a
rote addressed him rs to whether he
will permit his name to 60 before the
Democratic State Convention as a
candidate for Governor, promptly re-
plies that he "does not want, have
not sought, and shall in no way seek
TO be nominated, butifthe Democra-
cy of the State should call on me to
head the fight this fall, 1 would not
feel at liberty to decline" We have
no doubt in our mind that this set
ties the question as to who will be
the nominee of the Democratic State
Convention on the 25th inst, and we
may also add, the Governorship OF
the State for the next term. Gen.
EWING would sweep the State like a
tornado, and thousands who never
voted the Democratic ticket, would
roll up their sleeves and go to work
for his success. Next to the lament
ed VALLANDIGHAM, we believe he has
the strongest hold upon the produc.
tive and laboring classes of Ohio, Of
any man that ever lived within hel
borders, and if not very much mis-
taken in the sentiment and feeling Of
the people of Preble county, a ma
joriity of her votes would be cast fol-
him in October next.

DIFFERENCE IN APPRECIATION.

In 1875, we called attention to the
fact that the Goth General Assembly
which had a Republican majority,
appropriated at its regular and ad-
journed sessions, for General Reve-
hue and Asylum purposes, $4,905,-
223.97, where as the 6lst General
Assembly, which had a Democratic
majority, appropriated at its regular
and adjourned sessions, for General
Reveue and Asylum purposes, only
$4,404, Sl9.19-being five hundred
thousand, three hundred and four
dollars and seventy-eight cents less
than was appropriated by the pre-
ceeding republican General Assem-
bly,. BY way of explanation we were
told, that the appropriations for
these two objects were so much less
10y the Democratic General Assembly
than by the Republican General As
sembly was, because a large portion
of the building authorized by neces-
sity by the Goth General Assembly
had been completed, and that, there
fore, there was no necessity for as
large appropriations. The people
were told by Republican editors and
politicians that if they should en-
trust>the Republicans with a major.
ity in the ed General Assembly and
elect the Republican State candi-
dates, there would be so economical
an administration of affairs that
appropriations would be reduced far
below what they had been by the
61st General Assembly.
Well, the people took them at their
word. They elected Hayes Govern.
for and elected a majority of Repub-
licans to the General Assembly, and
now foot the appropriations of the
cd General Assembly, as made by
the regular and adjourned sessions
For General Revenue and Asylum
purposes, they amount to 81, 99S, 1913.
26-an increase of ninety-three thous
and, six hundred and nine dollars
and th~irty-nine cents over the appro.
priations of the Republican Genera
Assembly of 1923, and an increase
of five hundred and ninety-foul
thousand and fourteen dollars, and
seventeen cents over the appropria
tions made by the Democratic Gen
eral Assembly of 1915.
Do we see in these facts an argu
ment why a Republican majority b.
elected this fall to the next Genera
Assembly, wayne county Demo

BILL KEMBLE, the famous "addi-
ton, division and silence man is
mad. He says Mr.. Hayes was elect
ed Governor of Ohio in 1876 by as
sessments on Federal offioe-holders
in Pennsylvania, and that without
funds from the same source the Buck
eye State would have been lost to
the Republicans last October, and
nearly the whole country swept by
the Tilden whirlwind the following
month. He declares that some of
this money was sent directly to
Hayes, that Secretary Sherman and
Gov. Dennison were importunate in
their demands for funds, and that
during the campaign Carl Schurz
pocketed $500 a week for three
speeches, without inquiring who paid
it. All of which is probably true,
and certainly interesting.

Through the economy and homes
ty of purpose of a Democratic House
of Representatives, the public debt
has been reduced about forty mil
lions. If the House had voted all
the appropriations asked for by the
Radical Cabinet, there would have
been a deficit and the debt would
have been increased. The interest
account has been reduced during the
year more than two millions and a
half. The change in the bond ac-
count has been unusually great,
forty millions of six per cents. having
been Cancelled. The Treasury is in
a much better condition now, which
offsets the actual increase of ten mil,
lions in the principal of the debt
The coin balance has increased a
bout two millions, and the currency
balance three and a quarter.

Il DEGRADATION.

Nothing could be more calculated
to degrade the public service than
Mr.. Hayes order to office holders.
A criminal convicted of felony loses
his citizenship. Mr.. Hayes would
deprive of some Of the most impor-
tant privileges of citizenship every
man holding office under the Gov
eminent of the United States! He
does not denominate them criminals,
but he treats them as if they were
convict felons. They are not to be
intrusted with the same part as other
men in political affairs Of the day.
On this point the brave Gen,
Francis C. Barlow, in a recent letter
to the Times, very justly characteriz'
es the order. "Besides being utterly
futile" says Gen. Barlow, land inef
fectual, the Presidents order is pos
itively p%ernicious. Nothing car
bring the public service into discred
it, and destroy the pride and self
respect of its members, than to eX'
elude them from that activity in pol
itical affairs which is so highly val
ued in this country"
The President processes to have al
heart civil service reform; but in
stead Of elevating the public service
the order he has given is calculated
as much as anything can be, to pro
duce just the opposite effect. Tt
drag men far down toward the leve
of convicts is not a means well a
dapted to their improvement. Mr.
Hayes may be in earnest; but thu
more earnest he is the worse will h
come out, for his energy is all ex
pended in the wrong direction.-N
Y. Sun.

There is a grim humor, if nothing
more, underlying the indictment OF
the members of the Louisiana Retur-

and counterfeited election returns fol

there is no doubt of their having done
the things with which they are charg.
ed, there is little probability of theil
punishment. The Associated Press

are little more than White House ut
terances reduced to order, have al
ready published the fact that Gov
Nichols pledges to the President
were understood to embrace the pro
lection of Wells, Anderson and The
other members of the Board, and We
also have by telegraph from New Or
leans the assurance that Gov Nicholl:
so understands the matter. Wha'
light might be thrown on Mr.. Hayes

ed to alegitimate result, we shall no
know until Wells or Anderson make

with which great ~male-factors have s.
often closed their lives.

The Newark Press says: "This is
Sherman's policy. We would like to
see Sherman and about nine or ten
thousand of his gold gambling coad-
tutors dangling at the end of ropes.
We would walk nine miles to see that
sight. They are robbers. They are
scoundrels. They are worse than the
safe breaker, the counterfeiter, the
highwayman, the forger-worse than
the individual murderer, for they
murder, by starvation and bankrupt
cy, a whole people. There is no use
to plead honesty for such policy as
this. 1t is the policy of the thief.
The object is to bankrupt the many
to enrich the few. For this policy
only the plea of idocy-total blank
and irresponsible insanity a be
pleaded in mitigation of its rank
poison and outrageous villainy.
