The Republican County
Ticket,

Nominated last Saturday, is one
of the strongest ever presented to
the people of this county. From
top to bottom it is made up of first
class men, well qualified for their re-
spective positions, and well known
to the people. The ticket is also
well distributed, and their can be
no ground Of complaint on that
score. The Convention was one of
the largest and most harmonious ever
held in the county, and there was a
general feeling Of confidence among
the delegates that their selection Of
candidates would be ratified by the
people at the polls. The Republi-
can ranks in old Highland were nev-
er more united, and with earnest work
from now till the election, we can elect
every man on our ticket. Let us go
to work and do it.
We shall have more to say of the
candidates hereafter.

To Tourists.

No portion Of the continent Of America
presents so much Of grandeur beauty and
marvellous interest to the Tourist as the
famous Rocky Mountain region Of East
ern Colorado, in the vicinity Of the beauti-
full City Of Denver. The magnifcence Of
the mountain scenery is sequaled only by
that Of Switzerland, and many Tourists
from abroad have pronounced Colorado
scenery superior even to that Of the Alps
The popular resorts in the mountains,
famed alike for their grand Surroundings
and their magical waters, are daily becon-
ing recognized as the most del5ghtuE IN
America for either health or recreation
Hundreds Of people, tired of the resorts OF
the East. are going 10 spend the summer
in the grand old Rocky Mountains enid its
charming parks, majestic snow-clad peaks,
Grand canons. clear sky and magic atmos-
phere. The popular Kansas Pacific kali
yrev. with its steel rails and automatic arr
brakes. is the favOrite Tourist Route, and

It Can Be Done!

Ripley Bee:-When we notice the
fact that the railroad subscriptions
obtained in a canvass of two days
represents over one-third of the
amount required and remember that
a majority of those subscribing ex-
press a willingness to double their
subscriptions if necessary, aud also,
that several of those who will con
tribute most heavily are now absent,
and therefore not represented on
this list, it becomes evident that this
railroad enterprise can be carried to
a successful issue. If so much can
be accomplished at ebb tide, what
could have Ilen, and may yet be
done with railroad enthuiasm in full
flow? Talk this matter up, dream
on it, think it up, act on it There
is no excuse for q failure now. If
our town is to be saved from irretrie-
vable disaster, if owners of property
here ever expect one tenth Of its val
ne, if this place is ever to attain to
any Importance as a comm ercial and
manufacturing point, this road
MUST BE BUILT.

rough
Means Resumption.

N. 7. Herald Gnd. The Cleve-
land platform means resumption ; it
favors a double standard, gold and
and silver, but in the clearest man
ner demands an honest silver dol
lar, worth a dollar in gold. Tt is,
as we said the day after its adop-
ton, an honest platform, and salts
factory to every man who is oppos-
ed to initiation, except to those few
who demand a single standard. We
hope the Ohio Republicans are not
going to be scared by their own
thunder. It was not by being fright
ened that they elected Governor
Hayes two years ago. In the cam
paign Of 1875 Mr.. Schurz and Mr..
WOOdford talked very squarely to the
Ohio voters about the currency and
in favor of resumption, and carried
the State by doing so.

Whole No. 2153.
The Registry Law.

That our readers may be able to
understand the workings Of the
Registry Law, passed by the late
Republican Legislature, we condense
the following important points;
Persons who have resided 36O
days in the county, and 355 days in
the township, village or ward where
they offer to vote, need not register.
Persons removing from one coun-
tytO another, or from one township or
ward to another, and registering, are
only required to reside in the coun
ty 80 days, and in the township or
ward 20 days, previous to an cleo
ton.
In making registration, time Of
residence refers to day of election,
and not to that Of registration, so
that upon registering it is only nee
essary to state that upon election
day the proper residence will have
been acquired.
The registrars are to be appointed
the fourth Monday next preceding
the October election, which will be
on the 18th of September for this
year. The appointments are made
by city councils and township trus-
tees. Registrars must be of oppo-
site politics, electors Of the precincts
for which appointed and suitable for
the position.
The place for registration is at the
usual voting place; the time for such |
is on the third Friday
next preceding every general cleo
lion, between the hours of eight /
o'clock A. N. and nine ?. NJ. The |
time may be extended until next |
day, if necessary.
The registration Of Il voter is not /
a final determination of his right to
vote. The judges of elections are
he only proper persons to decide
that matter.
Every person required to register
must appear personally before the
3egistras on the third Friday next
to the election to be held.
f he is absent or sick, on that day,
le is disfranehised by this act.

What YEOnId Req

Dubuque Telegraph: What would
capital be without labor? It would
be as barren as a mule. It is labor
that makes it productive.
And what would labor be without
capital ? The truth is, the two must
go together, to make either profta-
bic, and such sort of stuff as the
above is mere demagoguery. Get
rid of these political demagogues-
in nine cases out of ten purely office
seekers-and capital and labor will
soon regulate their differences, and go
to work, reaching results that would
be profitable and satisfactory to
both.-TGal Jour.

The Presidents Southern
PoIicV,
In his speech at Plymouth, N, H,
last week, the President said:

In his speech at Plymouth, N. H,
last week, the President said:
eff there is any sentiment that
has guided what we have done, it
has been a common nationality. It
has been our desire to do something
for the people of all the States. We
have felt that the war should end,
and that peace should spread thro'
all our borders. There
are differences about the policy and
the means of accomplishing the de-
sired end, but we do believe that all
good people everywhere desire a
reconciliation, that the laws are to
be obeyed, and that the rights of
each and every citizen should be re-
spected, whatever his race or color.
That being done, we may be citizens,
not of a country or State, but of a
free and united country"

Mr.. Bishop and the Crang-
eTS,

GISs
The Urbana Citizen thus explains
why Mr.. Bishop, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, is not pop
ular with the Changers Of Ohio:
At the Charleston, S. c., session
of the National Grange a Commit
tee was appointed to select a per
manent location for headquarters of
the Order. The selection was re-
stricted to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and Kentucky, with it is said a pref
erence for Ohio. The Committee
selected Cincinnati, and but for the
persistent effort of the now Demo
cratic candidate for Governor Of the
State, who alone of all the Board Of
Exchange made a public speech
against the Order and in opposition
to giving any encouragement to the
Committee, and used all his infu-
ence to that end, the headquarters of
the Patrons would have been loca-
ted in that city.

A Sign orthe Times.

Baltimore Gazette.-One Of the
most encouraging signs Of the times
is the extraordinary volume Of freight
now passing over the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad. There were 1910
loaded cars on the road between
Cumberland and this city yesterday,
and if the business of the road con
tinues to increase (as at this season
of the year it is most likely to dO,)
it Will soon be able to give employ
ment to a much larger force. The
fact only shows more conclusively
than ever it Is wisest to let business
regulate itself

The following is the so-caIIed
"Workingman's ticket, put in nom
nation in Cincinnati. Hamilton
county, it will be seen, has only. four
of the candidates, but why in the
world they did not nominate
that prince of workingmen, that
''horny-handed son of toll, the great
and only Sam Cary, for Governor, is
something that no fellah can find
out.
For Governor, L. H. Bond, of
Cincinnati for Lieutenant Cover

WONDERS OF THE TELEPHONE. -
Talking by telegraph is the last new
wonder of the age. The n. Y. Tri-
bune thus tells how it is done in
that city:
The currents of sound in these tel
ephones are carried by a single wire
in either direction. All that it is pos
sible to do in ordinary conversation
between two people sitting within
two feet of each other in a room can
be done at a distance of five or ten
miles, or even a greater distance, by
simply raising the voice and speak
ing a little slower than naturally.
The telephone instruments them
selves are very simple, consisting of
two wooden tubes, one of which is
placed at the mouth, the other at the
ear. The extension of these tele-
phones all over the city in place Of
electric telegraphs is thought to be
only a question of time.

The trouble about the Judgeship,
among the Democracy of the Brown,
Clermont and Adams judicial dis
trict, seems to grow worse instead
Of better. Fourteen leading Demo
Gratis of Brown county, among them
W. W. Ellsberry, John D. Marshall,
J. R. Moore, W. J. Thompson and
others, are out in a card, in which
they deny the statement of Judge
Downey and the President Of the
Convention, that any rule was adopt
ed by the Convention, preventing
delegates from changing their votes
more than once before the result Of
the ballot was announced. 1t is upon
this ground that Judge Cowen
claims his nomination, his friends
asserting that such a rule a0aS adopt
ed, while Mr.. White and his friends
deny it. It is a very pretty quarrel,
as it stands, and will probably re-
suit in the election Of Republican
or Independent Democrat as Judge.

Ought 90 be Rcafen.

New York Herald The Demo
cratic party in Ohio ought to be
beaten in the platform which they
made yesterday. All that is good in
it is so much ancient history. No
one now iustifes the use Of
troops to control elections. What
is the use of stringing words tOgeth-
er about it2 Both parties are op-
posed to subsidies, although q Dem
ocratic committee of the house last
session reported in favor Of a huge
subsidy scheme; so that it is idle to
multiply words on that score THERE'S
very little else in the platform, except
the financial question, and the Ohio
Democracy will never, we suppose,
be right on that. They ought to
have nominated Mr.. William Allen,
instead Of Mr.. Bishop, for Governor.
It is the old mans platform, and he
ought to be the standard bearer

CHEAP TELEGRAPHY.-There seemed
to be a fair prospect some time ago,
that the competition between the
Western Union and the new Allan
tic & Pacific companies would Sc
cure to the people cheap rates of
telegraphing. But a few days ago
the managers of the rival lines met
in New York and consolidated the
two companies into one, and now
we have the natural consequence, in
an advance of rates. It is true the
managers say they will demand only
reasonable rates" but their idea of
what are reasonable rates vii; prob
ably differ considerably from those
of their customers,and tits quiteprob-
able the public Will soon again be
compelled to pay the high rates cur
rent before the Atlantic & Pacific
compelled the Western Union to re-
duce its charges. It really looks as
if the Government may be compelled
to take the business of telegraphing
into its own hands, as it has that of
carrying the mails, in order to afford
the people Of this country the same
facilities for cheap and rapid cores
pOndence as are now enjoyed by
those of Great Britain and Germany,
where messages are sent for about
one fourth the usual charges by
American lines.

COTToN MANUFACTUREs.-The great
depression of cotton manufactures
in England is attributed to the re-
markabIe increase of cotton mills in
India, thus depriving the English
manufacturers of their best custo
mers, to a large extent. In the vi
cinity of Bombay there are 40 cotton
manufactures, where formerly there
were but two.
Our Eastern cotton manufacto-
ries are also said to be suffering a
considerable loss of business owing
to the steady increase of cotton
manufactures in the South, where
the raw material and operatives are
brought together, thus saving the
cost Of transporting the cotton to
Eastern manufactures.

Registration Law.

The new registry law of this
State, applies only to such persons
as have not been bona tide residents
of the State 1 year, the county 80
days, and Of the township, village or
ward in which they reside and offer
to vote, twenty days next preceding
the day Of election. Persons who
have not thus resided, will, under
the law, be required to register their
names in accordance with the provis-
ions Of this Jaw before they will be
entitled to vote. It is important
that those who under this law are
required to register, should under
stand what is required of them, in
due time.

Wealth VS.. Small Means.

We think that the power of money
is, on the whole, over estimated.
The greatest things which were done
for the world have not been accom-
pished by rich men, or by subscrip-
ton lists, but men generally Of small
pecuniary means. The greatest
thinkers, discoverers, inventors and
artists have been men of moderate
wealth, many of them little raised
above manual laborers in point Of
worldly circumstances. And it will
always be so. Riches are oftener an
impediment than a stimulus to ac-
ton; and in many cases they
are quite as much a misfortune
as a blessing. The youth who
inherits wealth is apt to have life
made too easy for him, and so grows
sated with it, because he has moth
ing left to desire. Having no special
object to struggle for, he finds time
too heavy on his hands; remains
mentally and morally asleep; and
his position in society is often no
higher than that of a poIypus over
which the tide floats Elk.

DEAR Sm-Permit me to congrat-
Ulate you on the distinguished honor

the party for Governor Of Ohio, and
the party itself on the wisdom dis
played by the delegates in making
that nomination. With its brilliant
record, and led on by one who was

I need not assure You, dear sir,
that your effective service In the
furtheranee Of al the great measures
Of human freedom champiOued by the
party, is held IN grateful
remembrance, and that you may re-

I'd voters of Ohio as solid for your
self this fall. Respectfully,
