AN SURANCE PRESIDENT GETS
HIS DESERTS.


New York, January at. S. Lambert
ex.president of the Mexican Popular Life
Insurance Company, convicted of swear
ingto false reports, was to- day arraigned
for sentence. He spoke for two hours
and half, claiming that he was bounded
down by certain members of the press,
and witnesses against him were inter-
ested. He made bitter attack upon
the head of the insurance department,
charging ignorance and corruption, and
finally asked the court to remember his
family and pass light sentence.
Judge Brady then said; With regard
to sympathy, DR.. Lambert, you have
asked the court to be lenient in sentence
and spare your family, to do something
which you should have done, and if you
had, you would not stand before me
charged and convicted of perjury. You
have arraigned the press for writing
about your case. 1t is the right of the
public at largeito know through the voice
of the people, "The Press that you
have received your just deserts for your
crime. don't believe, DR.. Lambert.
that you believed that these checks were
cash. ltwas your duty to know the true
condition of your company, and if you
had you would have had mercy on your
family. The sentence of the court, DR..
Lambert, is that you be confined in the
State prison for five years at hard labor
The prisoner stood a few seconds, half
dazed, then bowed and took his seat.

WE are not musician enough to know
the difference between the wedding
march in "Lochengrin," and Tommy
make room for your Uncle"-but never
theless, we do see a remarkable propri-
ETY. in the course of the Repository under
its new management. They prefer not
to say much about the split in the Re-
publican party and the war going on
against the Hayes administration. They
started in fercely on Massillon bridge
and heating the Infrmary; but those
guns being spiked by plain statement OF
facts, they are now thrown back upon
John Sherman and forced resumption,
and accordingly, in the last Repository
they set sail rather happily in that di.
rection, claiming this financial storm is
not much of storm after all that times
are pretty good trade is reviving, and is
already excellent, especially in Can
ton. This is just what the shermans,
the Grants, the BabCocks, the Chambers,
and that ilk have been saying for years.
1t must be admitted this "happy family"
is not as happy as they we're, for the suf-
fering people will not now believe them,
and then the trouble with the Hayes ad-
ministration and the old "bloody shirt"
leaders is waxing fierce and furious, tear
ing the party to tatters.
But the new Repository regime may 60
on with the dance tune of Tommy make
room for your Uncle"

METER INTER VIEWED.

Cincinnati, Dec. 2S.-Mr. Albert Net
ter, of the recent banking firm of Meter
& Co., Of New York, who is at the Grand
Hotel, this city, stated in an interview as
to the rehypothecating feature of their
business, that twas simply question of
interest; that one firm in New York has
to-day SI2, 900 900 borrowed on such Sc.
curities. 1t got the securities for the
money loaned on them and in turn re-
borrowed money on them from insurance
and trust companies. Mr.. Meter stated
that the money they owed was not to
widows and orphans but to Wall street
sharks, who have gotten every dollar
that we had and who have cornered us
until we were compelled to lay down or
quit. There is no truth in the report
that l had absconded with SIoo, 900.

York,

COMPLY WITH THE BOND.

Now suppose that gold had depreci~
ated instead of silver, what then? Does
anybody believe that the bondholders
would have been satisfied to receive it in
payment No, but they would then have
insisted on payment in silver, just as ey
now do upon payment in gold; would
have denounced payment in the latter as
dishonest, as bitterly as they now de-
nounce payment in silver. The more
the question is ventilated, the more evil
dent does it become that the bondholders
have nothing to complain of; that they
have been treated with great tenderness,
have already made great profit out Of
their investment, and have no right to
ask Ior expect of the government any
thing more than a compliance with what
is nominated in the bond.-St. LOHfS
Dispatch.

The Republicans of the 18th Congress
sional district want the silver dollar.
They said 80 in their Congressional Con-
vention. But they don't want a silver
dollar worth ten per ceht less than gold
dollar, and 7 per cent less than paper
dollar. The spirit of the Bland BILLS that
of reputation. If the reconciliation of
the 4l23 grains silver dollar will enhance
its value and make it equalto the gold dol
lar, then we are for the 4l23 grains dol
lar, first, last and all the time. But moth.
ing of the kind will occur, and there is
no getting round it. Let us be brave
and Just and honest, There's such
thing as National, as we'll as personal
honesty. Try it on. Buckeye State.
This is the usual twaddle Of the John
Sherman. Hayes organs. 1t is all in the
interest of the monied power that has
been running our government through
their instruments, the Republican party
leaders. Who demonetized silver and
thus deprecated it? Was not the silver
dollar of 4l2! grains dollar of full value
before denonetizationP Was not our
Public Debt contracted before demoneti-
zation, and while the silver dollar was
a lawful dollar in payment of debt to
any amount2 Why is it, that, in the
party creed, everything is le
gal and right that robs and plumbers the
People but all is wrong that aims to Sc
cure justice to the People ?

WE observe with unfeigned regret that
the Democrat has undertaken to use its
own phrases, "the defence of the County
Commissioners" This is not becoming
in the press, which should be, as no one
better knows than the accomplished vet
eran at the head Of the Democrat, the
champion and defender of the people
and their rights against all Comers and
attacks Repository.
That is just where ove are and our COL
umns have been quite successfully used
in vindiCating honest officials, chosen by
the people of Stark county to serve a
second term of three years Truth is
the only shrine at which we worship,and
for many years we have been defending
her portals against the diabolism of the
John Sherman crew, and their obseuui.
GUS organs and tools from Washington
and elsewhere. The Stark County DEM
oCRAT will continue in we'll doing.

BONNER, of Wall street, is one of the
Jeremy Diddlers and respectable mar
ginal utilizers. A man who steals mil
lion by circuitous law is no thief, he is
not of those who take trihing amounts.
He belonged to class who dominate
Wall street, and who denounce all who
differ in opinion as to what shall consti>
tute legal payment for government obi
cations, as corrupt repudiators. The N.
Y, Sun publishes several columns of
" abstractors" since IS73 and states;
Out of this list about three hundred
and fifty bank cashiers and presidents,
business men, confidential clerks, public
officers, church wardens, and even cler-
gymen who have sold themselves to the
devil, the larger part sold themselves
very cheap. More than two hundred
were content with sums ranging from
$1,000 to $4,000; only fifty held them
selves at from $4,000 to 100000; not
quite forty at from sIoo, 600 to $500 oco
while less than thirty secured the heavier
prizes of crime. There are ten or a doz.

erations" cover more than a third of the

Gov. ROBINSON of New York is out
with an admirable message. Under his
administration reforms continue, the
Penitentiaries are self sustaining under
new superintendency, the outlays for the
canals are much lower than heretofore.
The public schools, he says, cost the peo-
pie much more than double the sum re-
quired to pay the entire expense of the
State government, executive, legislative,
Judicial, civil and military, One of the
costly abuses is in the large sums requir.
ed to pay for High schools, and for in.
struction in the sciences and in those
branches ofstudy required in the learned
professions.
