Lyndon, and quits work at midnight.

went to the shed and lighted his lamp
on the front of his wagon, and backed
the wagon out of the shed as usual,
and then went into the barn for his
horse. On returning to Glitch in" the
buggy was missing, and a brief invest

wagon was descending ground, and that
instead of stopping when he run it out
of the shed as he supposed, it had kept
on over the precipice, down so feet oil

A Correspondent Of the Chicago Eve.
ming Jo,a,sa! writing from New York says
the question. appcrmostin meme minds
there IL twill Hayes succeed In his admin
istration policy.' The correspondent
then proceeds to answer the. question
thus himself.
The general opinion here Is that he
will not, simply because no man was
ever successful in running two parties
for any length of time, and no Pre srfS"
those who carried him to victory-with-
out sooner or later arraying them In a
united opposition to him. Any one who
has held an elective Office, and has en-
deavOred to conciliate and win the re-
gard of both parties, can tell President
Hayes that the thing can't be done.
The almost invariable result is
that the man who endeavors to
do this either goes over to the
enemy or becomes q stronger party man
than ever. He deserts TO the camp OF
those with whom be has been toying. or
tails back fnto the arms OF his own gen.
erals, and more than ever is guided and
Influenced by their advice and counsels.
IL may be that President Hayes will sue
tessfully steer between both courses and
demoralize the Democracy while he at
the same time holds the Republican
party well In hand. We sincerely hope
and pray that he may do this. II he
does, however. he will happily disap-
point all Republicans hereabouts, who
have ever taken an active part In politics.

A NEW TENPEUANCE MOVEMENT
IN OHIO.

A very enthusiastic temperance re-
vival is in progress In the state Of Ohio.
IL Is not, like the crusade OF few years
ago, o women's movement: II Is engin-
eered by men, and both sexes take q
like interest in its progress and success.
Hundreds Of persons, men and women,
boys and girls, are signing the "pledge, y
and enrolling themselves under the
temperance banner. In some towns not
less than eighteen hundred names have
been placed upon the list OF those who
have foresworn the flowing bowl and all
its mischievous and dangerous pleasures.
Two gentlemen, Moody and Sankey
fashion, arc making pilgrimage Of the
state and description OF tier labors
and its results. from local paper Of one

all classes Of soclety--laborers, mechan.
les, merchants, lawyers, doctors, preach.
ers, university students and teachers, and
last, though not by any mean least OF
most unimportant, saloon-keepers and
grog-sellers. The exercises, led by the
"Reformers," are varied by addresses by
well-known citizens, interspersed by the
singing of songs and hymns, sometimes
in chorus and sometimes by leading vo-
| calists IN solos. At one meet
Ing the enthusiasm became wild when
one Of the prominen. saloon keepers OF
the place went forward, signed the
pledge, and announced that he had re-
solved to renOunce forever the business
OF selling whisky and that his saloon
would be turned over TO the temperance
lecturers to sell at auction.
The sale took place the next day on
the public square of the town
and Was attended by large
eoncourse of men and women. The
biddiEg was very spirited and the casks
bottles, glasses, ETC., were disposed OF ir
a very short time. The first glass solo

lister in the town bought bottle and
glass. and many other persons bought
articles to keep as "souvenirs" Of the
great temperance movement.
The departure Of the lecturers from the
town was the occasion of public demon.
stration; hundreds OF people escorted
them to the railroad station, and as the
train moved off, "Hold the Fort was
sung in deafening chorus. The practical
result Of the revival was the formation
of a "Christian Temperance Union

place in their affections that the saloon

ton, many Of whom lie had so long and
tavorably known. He said he was
deeply honored and touched by their
kindness. and that he should cherish
with gratitude the resolutions OF their
visit as charged with the protection of
Germans in France.
He had endeayored 10 discharge the
duty imposed upon him, not only In the
interest of humanity, but in manner
satisfactory to the German government,
and in way to secure the appreciation
Of his own government, and without
wouading the sensibilities OF the French
nation.
Much OF his success was due 10 the
Kind manner in which the government
Of the National League OF France had
enabled him to perform his duty, which
was delicate and responsible one. lie
was thousand times repaid for all his
labors and anxiety by the tokens Of ap.
proval he had received from the German
government as We'll as his own, and by
the warm and cordial thanks he was con.
tinually receiving from his German lei

Mr.. Washburne then thanked the com
mittee as the organ OF the German
American residents OF Washington. Col.
Wickham Hoffman, who was secretary
OF legation at Paris ut the time OF the
seige, was present with Washburne when
the committee called.
NO ACTION TAKEN.
The Cabinet adjourned about 1890.
without, 1t seems, taking definite ac-
ton with regard to South Carolina.
The impression prevails that at least
another session will be held before the
government announces its determination

The bill, known as the compulsory
education bill, was defeated in the house
Of representatives a: Springfield few
days ago, after discussion of SIX hours.
The debate was an able one, not few Of
the most prominent members participant
ing in It. MIR. Albright, Of this district.
was one OF the most earnest advocates OF
the bill. and made speech In ITS favor
that was praised by all who heard it.
Mr.. Watkins, OF the Mound City district,
spoke against the bill. His speech was
ingenious and eloquent. Alter the roll
had been called. Mr.. Albright changed
his vote and moved to re.
consider. This will give the friends
and enemies oil the measure
another opportunity to air their elo-
quence and arguments about it. On the
main question we are opposed TO the
principles of the bill, and we strongly OBJ
iect to its details and miserable phrase
ology. The gentleman who wrote it was
not careful In the construction Of bis
sentences, and certainly did not know
what machinery the enforcement OF hi
bill would require. II 1t were enacted

have been better pleased to know that
the report was uniounded, and he was in
m inqulsltlve state Of mind about the
matter. On the morning after his arrival
he visited the white house accompanied
by Secretary Robson, and found Sena-
tor Morton on hand ready to receive his
dividend Of credit for the unexpected
distlncn whjah h1H beAsl}en the old
platform bloltkr. .ltis VDld, on the an-
thority of al eye witness, that the presi-

In the face: Colonel Thomp-
soil. l heard You make speech
in 1916. admired you then,
ana have watched you since with
great satisfaction and pleasure. You
were an old Wing, and like old Wings.
Then, again, you married a Columbus
lady, and got to know more intimately
OF you as man in that way. You be-
long to school Of politics which has
always commanded my fullest cent?
| dence. and your name naturally occurred
to me when was endeayOring 10 select
a cabinet that would receive the appro-
baton of the country. Your appoint
ment was the only one that was made on
my own hook. without the advice of pc
ltical friends" They say Morton's lace
looked exceedingly troubled when This
last sentence was delivered, especially
because the president had chosen snch
an opportunity to humiliate him. This
statement of the case, however, was q
decided relief to the secretary, and opened
his eyes to the fact that Oliver
had been shining in borrowed
jewels. The sequel remains to be told.
When Major Cash (late paymaster in the
navy died, Mr.. Morton saw fine open
ing for his son John, and at once be-
gan his opportunities on the president.
Mr.. Hayes was not disposed to be un-
civil, and referred the vacancy with The
name of the applicant to the secretary Of
the navy; urging him to decide the mat
ter. Mr.. Thompson, on investigation,
found that this branch of the service was
crowded already beyond the limit fixed
by law, and realizing the Improperly OF
inserting another wedge, he reconl-
mended the promotion OF II. Clay Good
loe, in accordance with the civil-servlce
reform rules, and son John was con.
signed to the waste-basket, where he
now remains. When this daring ex-
plot is known ia Indiana they will
wonder how long Thompson can. live
with his head in the lions mouth.
