The hard times have had one good effect which should have been produced long apo-the removal of great many people from the towns and cities, always over crowded. to the broad, unoccupied lands ot the far West. The sales of land by the government, and the railway travel in that region have been much larger during the last year than for many years previous In Dokota alone the government sold, last year, over $S0O,000 acres, seven times as much as the previous year. In Kansas Minnesota, Nebraska, Wyoming. and Colo rado. the sales have been remarkably heavy It is estimated that 5,00O,000 to 0,' 100000 more acres of land have been disposed of there in the past than in the preceding twelvemonth, and the deniarc | for land continues active. When the hosts of unemployed lsborers who cling to tho cities, despite their enforced idleness, shall have gone to tilling the soil, one oi the seri ous troubles of the day will have been na
 turally and permanently adjusted. Neces sity teaches what argument and illustration never can. Political economists and news
 paper scribes might advise the poor and un
 employed to go west until they had growi

THE BUCKEYE STATESMAN

There rs not the slightest probability
that Mr.. Matthews will yer attempt
to deny their authorship And how
can he so explain them as L show that
they were not written with a guilty
knowledge and o full appreciation OF
Anderson's ~disgraceful conduct 1t is
manifest that Mr.. Matthews knew what
Anderson had done and that he tried
TO procure u reward for the dishonest
acts of that individual in the shape of q
satisfactory Federal office. So devoted
was Mr.. Matthews to the work Of re
warding Anderson that he continued
TO correspond with the latter after hav'
ing been insultcd by him, addressing
him as +" My dear sill" and signing him.

the frequent interviews with Anderson
look bad for the Ohio Senator. But il
is not Of much consequence what Mr.
Matthews wrote or did il he acted fol

serious question, and VIZ hope it will
be satisfactorily answered by future

CLOTHED IN SHAME.

-
Stanley Matthews has had the good
sense TO accept his fate, TO stink away
back to Ohio, to say nothing about his
arrival, and to try his best to escape
public attention. OF course be knew
that the Anderson letters finished him
politically and his refusal to go before
the Potter Committee was obviously
to spare Hayes the revelations of bottom
facts. Stanley Mdtthers in his fall has,
hoperer, dopn tro good traits. lie has
sho'cn loyalty to his companions in fraud,
and he has sholcn that he still is capable
Of the feeling Of shame. A career of error
is not hopeless so long as The offender
shrinks from exposure and disgrace. He
,could not go before The Potter Committee
because he did not wdntto lie, and he kneU
that he could not tell he ruth without con,
ricting Hayes Of completely in the frauds
that counted him in,
Bat John Sherman cannot stink
away out of sight, and probably would
not do so II he could. He has that
brazen temperament that has enabled
Henry Ward Beccher 10 stand up and
OUTAGE the evidence Of bis own letters
and now that the wrotchcd f~abricatioDt
of the jerks testimony have broken
down, he is clothed with new shame
for he is more than suspected of having

dices of Mrs. jerks, as he attempted
to conquer those OF J.. Il. Anderson and
Il. T.. Weber. When a man seeks out
the witnesses before they testify, and
hampers with them, the public mine
with unerring certainty accepts thai
fact as an additional evidence of guilt
II after all interviews between counse
and witnesses are over the witness
makes such ludicrous failure in her at
tempts to " exonerate" him, it shows
that John Sherman's case is hopeless
Mr.. Weller's suggestion that the tru,
defense Of Mr.. Pickwick IN a breach
of.marriage-promisc action should have
been ga hallbi was hardly more alb
surd than Mr., Sherman's defense, tina.
Mrs. jerks wrote the letter. The com
mon sense of nine out OF ten American
people is convinced, that Sherman
wrote that letter and Sherman ha
never ventured to deny it. The reasoi
that he gave for not denying the cop,
was, that he feared that the origina
or a Photographic copy might be pro
duced and even now that Weber ha
sworn that he himself destroyed tn
%letter, Sherman still does moi venlur,
to deny that he wrote it. He still
fears that IL is being held back as

now stands John Sherman, convicted
in part, on his own testimony of tn

THE CAMPAIGN.

The political campaign in our State
will not be fairly opened until the heated
term is over. SO far everything looks
favorable for the Democrats. We seek
o verdict from the reason of the people;
we do not appeal to their passions
we leave that for u adversaries to do.
The calmer and cooler our fellow-citi-
zeEs view the situation the more likely
will they be to support sound Demo
cratic measures, and vote for an honest,
capable candidate, like Mr.. Dill, for
Governor. The recent astounding de-
velopments of Republican frauds in
our State and National affairs, must
affect popular opinion and make a
decided change of votes in our favor.
The Republican party best succeeds in
a season Of fierce excitement, in unset
tied times, when a spirit OF absorbing
pa~rtisanship prevails. Then ever great
peculations from the public funds pass
unnoticed, but in q%uieter, in more rea.
sonablc, and in more peaceful periods,
corruption becomes apparent.
1t is useless for the Republicans to
assert that great frauds have not been
perpetrated By them in every depart.
ment of the Government. They have
kept themselves in power only by the
lavish expenditure of millions o. dollars
which they have been stealing from
the toiling taxpayers. This money
has been making Tor them votes, many
Of them illegal votes, and il has been
owing to It's use that the elections Tor
the past eighteen years have in many
localities gone against us. Oar pres
ent great debt is mainly attributable
to the gigantic villainies of tho Repub-
lican party. In our State Legislature
and the National Congress bills pro.
viding for the shameful disbursement
Of great sums of money have been
rushed through by Republican MAORI,
ties until the very perpetuity OF our
tree institutions are seriously imper'
rilcd. One would suppose that such Q
damning political record would make
the guilty leaders of the Republican
party hide their heads with shame, OF
abscond TO some foreign country. But
, this is not the case so bold have these
infamous scoundrels become that they
