The effect of the passage of the
silver bill is beginning to be felt in
every department Of trade and bus

the fine improvements now being
made ins Eaton, by Edison, Filbert,

and others, and the Catholics are
about to build a fine Church. Give
US plenty of Greenbacks and silver

there will be prosperity and good

DR.. A.. JONES, of Wilmington, Ohio,
who was an applicant for the Super
.intendency of the Dayton Insane
Asylum, writes us a very extensive
missive upon the subject. The DIR.
has been reading some ofthe Day
ton Journals foolish statements
about the meeting of the Board, and
seems to have his mind all torn to
pieces over the matter. We are very
sorry about it indeed, and equally re-
greet that We cannot accommodate
the DR.. by publishing his commu-
pication. If the Journals state
ments and our denial of them "mys-
titles" the Dr's mind, that is his mis-
fortune and not our fault. We have
but one word toadd, which is, that if
the DR.. or any of the other gentle
men who were applicants for the po-
sition, is green enough to swallow as
truth what an opposition JOURNAL
says about the meeting of the Board,
the SUPPLEMENTARY of the Institu-
ton would not be the place for him.

Republican State Convention.

The magnates Of the Republicans, great
and small, have had conference at Chica.
20 and determined to hold their State
Convention the 26th of June. As usual
there is any amount of talk about the
grand principles Of the party and the
certainty of carrying the State, aud there
was a general bracing up of one anothers
nerves by mutual assurances of the
undoubted success Of the party at the
coming fall election. The majority of the
leaders apparently favored a straight
ticket and no alliance. To phrase it
another way, they claimed that the
National party now 10 the field would
make greater gains from the ranks of the
democracy then from the members Of the
republican party, and therefore between
the democrats and nationals the republic
ans as the third party would be able to
win the race.
The ;ubilation exhibited over this estim-
ate of affairs is manifestly more appar-
ent than real; and because this informal
conference puts on good face and tries to
exhibit great cheerfulness, it does not so
clearly follow that after all they feel as
much confidence as is pretended. 1t is
very easy to say if one party looses by
detection a much larger number than
another does from the same cause, the two
parties having been previously approxim-
ativey equal in numbers, that the one
which relatively sustains the greater loss
will probably be the defeated party,-but,
the uncertainty of the amount of loss from
each, by the accretions of the third party,
is an element which is not easily deter
mined, and which is more likely to affecl
the chances Of dominant party
than the previous minority one. A
minority which is constantly gaining
10 the nature of things, is much
less likely to be sufferer for such causes.
The dissatisfaction which creates party
loss is against the party in power, against
the party administering the government il
such manner as to create the dissatisfaction
The minority have no such responsibility
to carry, and are not burdened with the
catalogue of grievances which form the
basis of the formation of a third party.
There exists no reason therefore for any
detection in their ranks except of those
who become sore heads, or of demagogues
who care nothing for principles and ally
themselves with projects which bears The
best appearance of giving them notorietS
and serving their personal ambition.
The democracy OF this State have poth
ing whatever TO fear from the republicans
making straight ticket and a square
stand up fight. The democracy themselves
have rejected all entanglng alliances, have
nominated an excellent ticket, and they gC
into the contest with splendid prospects o
success. There is not the slightest objec
ton to the republicans comparing notes
and encouraging one another; on the con
trary all the signs of the times" indicate
that they need to encourage each other
aud then they won't feel any too good
The democracy are in earnest at a
events, and have every reason to believ
their ticket will be triumphant.

fit in such matters, but the real gist of the
premises is whether or not there is any
sincerity or good faith in the order, whether
the president and heads of departments
mean to keep vigilant watch to see that
subordinates really exercise without con-
straint their own choice, or whether it is
10 its practical operation merely a pre-
tence and sham.
There is no reasonable doubt but better
service would be given to government
employment, and better feeling exist in
official circles, if federal ohiceholders
could feel certain that their tenure of Office
was not bound up in an obligation to
devote per centage of their pay to an
electioneering fund. and that they are in
truth relieved from the management of
caucusses, committees, and conventions.
except SO far as it might be their own
volition to act as private citizens in such
affairs.
The difficulty ia carrying out these prin-
ciples arises from the opposition of the old
time managers of the political machine.
The one distinctive advantage which the
republicans have had oyer the democrats
in regard to political contests has consisted
in their undeniable facilities for raising
money by assessments upon the Office
holders, and the loss of any considerable
portion of campaign funds in consequence
of official independence is serious fea-
ture in the probabilities of party success.
They have undoubtedly had AMI expended
much larger sums Of money on state anC
national elections than the democrats, and
for that matter, more than the democrat
ever did when the government and it,
patronage was in their hands. For thu

FROM j. A. TYNEs, A WELL KNOWN
CITIZEN OF WILSON, N, C,-My wife had

covered with dandruff, and caused her
hair to fall out and get very thin and
turned grey, but after using London

cured and the grey hair restored to its
natural color, the hair stopped falling
out and is growing beautifully. BY
telling of the effect it had on the head

VIII the President pers1st?

The party necessities involved 10 the
coming fall elections begin to be urgently
felt by the leaders and party wireworkers,
and consequently they are diligently ap-
plying themselves to the question of ways
and means. Great pressure has been
attempted 20 be brought to bear upon
President Hayes to make him modify his
noted civil service order, OF at least to
allow it to practically become nullity by
refraiuing from its enforcement. The
latest caucuses of the republicans in con
gress aud the meetings of the Republican
National Committee appear to have been
particularly directed 20 the accomplish
ment of this object, and strenuous efforts
were made on their part to obtain some
official expression which would be under
stood as virtually resembling the obnoxious
order. 1t is only a short time since it
was given out to the public as the result
OF these conferences that the President
had substantially agreed to let bis civil
service order become q dead letter. The
offensive attacks of men like Howe and
ConkliDg were to be ignored by the party
as being purely the expression of these
gentIemen's personal dislike, and not the
general feeling of the party at large. But
If later intelligence is worthy of credence
this rosy view of the matter is not literally
true, and is intended to deceive the public
and misrepresent the President. Those
who enjoy his confidence and are supposed
to best know his real views maintain that
not only has the order been constantly
enforced but there is no design to do other
wise. The President still holds to the
opinion that the order is correct in prin
crIe aud productive of positive good.
That our readers may know precisely what
its import is we insert the order in full:
No officer should be required or per-
mitted 90 take part in the management OF
political organizations, caucuses, conven
tons or election campaigns. Their right
to vote and to express their views on Dub-
lie questions. either orally or through the
press, is not denied provided it does not
interfere with the discharge OF their official
duties. No assessment for political pur.
poses on officers or subordinates should be
allowed,
In regard to this order, the most Iibera,
construction which the president himself
attaches to it is his explanation that II is
not to be understood as denying an office
holder the right to speak or write in favor
Vi MS party--as was openly done by sever
al noted officials, for instance John sber.
man In Ohio last fall,-but that it doe,
positively restrict officeholders from tak;n,
part in caucusses and conventions and
relieves them from compulsory contribu
tons to campaign funds.
An honest adherence to this constructio,
would relieve the government officials from
all enforced leves for political purposes
and would do away with the disgracefu
prac'ice OF exacting a proportion Of thei
salaries I"r partizan purposes as the pric
OF official position.

Bustle and Hurry.

There is an element in modern life which
is radically hostile TO the cultivation or even
the retention of fine manners. This is its
extreme hurry and its constant hustle. Fine
manners require calm grace; and calm grace
is not easily preserved amid the hubbub,
jostling, and anxiety of the existence of to-
day. Fine manners require time; indeed,
they take no note of time. A person of fine
manners may himself always be punctual
but he can scarcely preserve his fine man
ners while laboring to compel other people
to be so. Fine manners are absolutely in
compatible with fussiness. Fine manners
take their time over everything. This is
not TO say that they are inconsistent with
exertion or even great energy. But the ex-
ertion must be equable the energy must be
uniform, not spasmodic or hysterical. Watch
different orders of persons proceeding to
take the train from one place to another.
Persons of inferior condition of life appear
to be deeply tormented with the idea that
they will fail to catch it. They arrive out
of breath, though they are ten minutes be-
fore the time fixed for starting. They hustle
over the taking of their tickets, they scram-
BILE for place in some carriage or other !;
the whole business is with them one of haste
and disquietude. People of higher grade,
buI hIlli VI Mudu - OIuludTlil tcllntu II Inlu-
die condition of life, do not manifest so
much incoherent solicitude as all this. But
they are fidgety and uncertain. They trouble
themselves and their neighbors instead of
taking the matter quietly and as mat
ter of course. People of fine manners do
not exhibit these symptoms of gratuitous
distress. They take all reasonable care to
be at the station in time, but as they cher
ish an immovable belief that five INMATES
are always and invariably of the same
length, and that the hour-hand moves no
faster even if their own pulse does, they are
content to abide by the law of cause and
consequence and entertain no doubt that
having given themselves an abundant inter
val for traversing well-ascertained dis
lance, it will be accomplished in the perioC
duly allotted TO it. There is perfect repost
in the taking of their tickets in the dispatch
of their baggage, in the selection OF thei
places. Persons who do not understand
that this method of procedure is secon,
nature with many, and first nature will
some half-playfully denominate those the,
see practising it as "cool hands" Blu
where in the world is there any necessit
for heat, or for that feverish trepidatioI
which accompanies the smaller movement
of people who have not learned, TO use a no
inapt phrase TO be met with in a moderl
poem that there is nothing so tedious a

Some Plain Truths.

They were seated together, side by side,
on the sofa, in the most approved lover
fashon-his arm encrling her waist.
"Lizzie," he said, "you must have read
my heart ere this; you must know how
dearly love you"
"Yes, Fred you have certainly been very
attentive" said Lizzie.
"But, Lizzie, darling, do you love me I?
