try. The man who invests his mon
ey in an establishment that makes
plows, threshers, mowers, woolen
goods, etc, is a local benefactor.
There is no mistake about him. All
such enterprises naturally stimulate
the growth and add to tho wealth
of the communities in which they
are established. Every dollar kept
at home has its advantages, more or
less, for every citizen. The most
wealthy and prosperous cities and
towns in the world are those that
work on the cooperative plan-that
aim to build up their own merchants,
mechanics, manufacturers, laborers,
etc. Every cent diverted from home
is so much taken from home con-

Foolish IntoIerance,

Judge Hilton, of New York, ex-
ecutor of the merchant prince, A. T.
Stewart, has brought down upon
himself a great deal of merited de-
nunciation for refusing to admit
Jewish guests to his Grand Hotel,
at Saratoga. Such bigOted intoler-
ance is almost incredible in this en-
lightened day. The Jewish citizens
Of New York, among whom are some
OF the wealthiest and most respect
able men in that city, have declared
their intention to withdraw their
custom from Stewards dry goods
house, and a maority of the Jewish
merchants of Cincinnati have follow
ed their example. Judge Hiltons
excuse is that the Jews are obnoX-
ious to a certain class of guests at
the Hotel, and that he must either
exclude them or lose money. If he
cant keep a Hotel and admit all re-
spectacle people to its privileges,
who are able and willing to pay for
them, be had better "step down and
out, and let somebody else play the
role of landlord.

A Democratic "Rolt. +"

The late Judicial Convention in
the Adams, Brown and Clermont
district, was not harmonious. "On
the contrary, quite the reverse" AT
ter a great number of ballotings, and
very stormy time generally, the
Chairman decided that Judge A. T.
Cowen, of Clermont, had received
the nomination, and the Convention
adjourned sine die. Thereupon the
friends of Hon. G. A. White in the
Convention, met and nominated that
gentleman. Mr.. White publishes q
card in the Georgetown News of
last week, in which he claims that
be was cheated out of the nomina-
ton, and announces that he is can
didate.
The News, however, adheres to
Cowen, and says he was regularly
nominated, and is entitled to the
support of the party.
If White and Cowen both run,
there is very nice opening for a
Republican to slip in.

The ArtfuI podger.

Bro. Leeds, of the Brown county
News, in order to raise a "hue and
cry" against the financial policy o.
the administration, boldly asserted
few weeks ago, that Secretary
/ Sherman intended to have 'about
all the grcenbacks withdrawn and
burned up By the 1St Of January,
1875" and to "Place in their
stead his four and a half per cent.
bonds" We called Bro. Leeds atten-
ton to the resumption law, which
expressly tor5jds the amount OF
greenbacks being reduced below
S3OO,OOO,OOO, before the 1st of Jan
uary, 1879.
Finding himself in a tight place,
he tries to squirm out of it by say
ing:
eve did say, and now repeat
it, that it is the object of Sherman
to retire the greenbacks before Jan
uary, 1879, down to three hundred
millions, and then and thereafter to
wipe out all the remaining"
No, sir, yOu said no such thing.
You said that Secretary Sherman in
tended to withdraw and burn up.
about air. the greenbacks, before the
1st of January, 1879. That is a very
different thing from what you now
say. You now put in the qualifying
clause, "down to three hundred mil
lions, which you then omitted alto
gether. There is a considerable diff
ference between destroying "a5out
all" the outstanding greenbacks, and
destroying all except 'three hundred
is there not?
The next time you make an asser-
tion, be careful to know that it is
tr7se before you make it, and you
will avoid being compelled to exhib-
it yourself in the character of the
''Artful Dodger."
