Geo. w. Allen informs us that he
and his brother "Lon," with their fam
lilies took a trip last week through
Geauga and Lake Counties, taking in
Newberry, ChardoB, Fairport, Paines-
Vile, Thompson, etc. The two gen.
tlemen named joined teams, took along
supply of eatables, and having ca
pacious covered carriage they journey
ed leisurely, lunching in shady quiet
retreats drinking in the pure air, and
viewing the interesting scenery along
the route, The Thompson lodges
were described as being far superior
to the Ledge at Nelson, in point of ex-
tent beauty and grandeur. Punder-
sons pond and other sheets of water
received due attention and the entire
trip was one of unalloyed pleasure and
rare enjoyment.
Mr.. w. H. Bradley has completed
the finest veranda In this section, and
in addition has bracketed the cornice

to the peak in front, making it one OF

townsman r. G. Carris, who thus
demonstrates his right to take place in
the front rank as tasty skillful work
man. Who is the next man in need
of his services?
Saturday night our town was again

to be s.dead shot" on toxicological
cases was sent for, and although about
ten grains had been disposed of and
the patient was thoroughly narcotized,
she is this evening reported out OF
danger.

From the present position Of Secre-
tary Sherman, no one would suppose
that he ever favored the "interchanga-
BILE bond" 1t would be Interesting to
learn By what arguments he was in
duced to change his opinions; but he
is ON record rs advocating both tho
Justice and the policy of issuing such
q bond, which would advance the pros
peFity Of the country as much as the
present line Of policy Is likely to retard
Il. On the 9th Of February, 1858, Mr..
Sherman said in the Senate of the
United States:
..4In 1853 we were compelled y to
take away. the. right of the holder of
the greenbacks to fund it. We
ought promptly to restore this right to
allow the note (efeenback) to be con-
vortad 1t any time into some kind Of
bend to be converted into notes (green-
backs). Then there Is no discrimina-
tion. - =. The note-holder may go
to the Treasury and demand his bond.
and the bondholder may go also and
demand his notes. The process
of funding these notes-they pouring
into the Treasufy-Will furnish ample
means to redeem all the outstanding
bonds and securities as they become
re1ee1nable. This privilege will
give fiexibility and movement to the
currency Of the county. If the
money market becomes stringent, IL
currency becomes scafce, the holder
may be willing to surrender his bond
in order to get currency; and why not
give him that privilege? This Is indis-
pensably necessary to guard against
sudden contraction and panic"

The Cincinnati Enquirer makes
some very pertinent and practical sug-
xestions which the Greenbackers will
do we'll to carefully read and seriously
reflect upon before they fritter away
their strength upon independent ac-
ton and nominations which cannot
but fAil to result disastrously to the
very objects which they profess to de-
sire to accomplish. That paper says:
There Is one phase Of this Ohio can
vass which doesn't seem to occur to the
membefp of the Greenback party or OF
the Workingmen's party In the State !;

The great overshadowing issue In
the present campaign is the financial
question, wherein the positions of par
ties are we'll defined. The Democrats
in their platform declare most en-
phatically for the repeal of the Re-
sumption act, for the remonetizatioB
of the silver dollar of tho fathers which
was the standard of value when all the
vast debts of the General, state and To-
cal governments and of corporations
and individuals were created, and in
favor of the issuing by the General
Government Of all the money of the
country, whether Of paper or coin.
The Republicans, on the other hand,
are in favor Of the enforcement of the
Resumption act with all its attendant
evils, opposed to remonetizing the old
silver dollar, in favor Of retiring and
destroying the legal-tender, or green
back currency, and of giving to bank
ing corporations the power of issuing
all the paper currency and of control
ing all the vast financial and CONNER
cial affairs Of the country, There is
no mistaking the issues. They are 80
plain that ''the wsyfsring man, though
fool need not err therein" One or
the other of these parties will prevail
in the coming election and the finan-
cial policy of the country be thereby
fixed. II you are opposed to the Rad
ical policy Of contraction and placing
the country in the hands and at the
mercy of the monied aristocracy and
privileged classes you cannot long
hesitate to choose the course which
duty to yourselves and your country
demands that you should pursue.

A Few Words of Wisdom

For all who are seeking new
homes In the West. If you are 60
ing to change yonr location, by all
means you should keep on about the
''same latitude" as where you for
merly lived, for in this way you
will escape the severe climatic
changes in the weather incident to
the extreme North or South, having
none of these things to contend
with, yourself and family are healthy
and you become producer at once,
consequently soon independent on
the other hand should You listen to
the many glowing accounts of the
sunny South, or the mild climate of
the North, and thus be induced to
try your fortunes there, you will
find the reality is not all your fancy
painted it. If you go South it
usually takes about two years to
get acclimated to the climate, du-
ring which time, not being able to
work, youl self and family are con-
sumers, besides being constantly
exposed to the malarial fevers
which abound there, and the expe-
rience of many is they return dis
couraged, leaving not a few loved
ones beneath the sod in the sunny
South. Therefore, In going West
keep on about the same latitude
which will insure health and happi-
ness. There are most excellent
lands in Northern Missouri on the
line of the Hannibal & St. 10. K.
H., and in Kansas, Nebraska and
Colorado, 'sjust as cheap and good
as the sun ever shone upon," why
not accept certainty rather than
run the risk of losing all ? Through
day and sleeping cars are run from
Toledo, Ohio, via. the Wabash R'y
and Quincy to St. Jo., Atchison and

THE rush from the grasshopper
infested counties of Minnesota and
Iowa up to the non-grasshopper
sections along the Northern Pa
clfic is greater this fall than ever
before. A colony of thirty families
from one neighborhood in Iowa are
now on their way to settle on the
timber and prairie lands near AID
rich. They bring their families and
effects in wagons aud drive their
stock the entire distance. These
people are leaving the prairie and
seeking the timber. We verify be-
lieve that if they were posted with
regard to this Lake Superior coun.
try, many of the grasshopper exiles
would come in this direction, and
settle on our rich timber lands.

RAILROAD building and projuct-
ing in Northern Minnesota is the
order of the day. The grading on
the Brainerd Branch is nearly COM
pleted, and the iron is going for
ward this week from Duluth and
will be laid at once. 1t is expected
the cars will be running before the
end of September. Surveyors are
at work on the GIyndon Branch,
and it is promised that it, too, will
be graded and ironed this fall. A
company has just been organized to
build a railroad from Lake Park on
the Northern Pacific to the Red
River near the boundary line. Now
if the line from Crookston to Win.
nepeg was opened, the State Line
road from the Junction to Superior
built, and the gap of sixty miles be.
tween Superior and Ashland filled
up, our measure of happiness in the
way OF railroad blessings would be
nearly complete.

PREREQUISITES OF SUCCESS In
tegrity of character and truth in the
inner man are the prerequisites OF
success in any calling, and espec-
tally so in that of the merchant.
These are attributes which never
fail to command respect and win
admiration. No one fails to appre-
ciate them, snd if they ''do not pay"
in the vulgar sense of the phrase,
they bring an amount of satisfaction
and peace to the owner that oil the
wealth of Cresus could not yield.
There is no better stock i'm trade
than these principles; no capital
goes so far or pays SO well, or is so
exempt from bankruptcy and loss.
Let every young man, upon COM
mencing business, look well to those
indispensable elements of success,
and defend them as he would the
apple of his eye. If inattentlve and
