The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1878-06-25

EEIt is question which is puzzling
a good many Americans just now, why
the moment the Mexican revolutionists
become organized and commence to
march against Mexican cities, the whole
available American force this side of the
Rio Grande is sent across post haste to
head off the rebel columns and defeat
the revolutionists. Why should Gen
Ord fight Diaz' battles, any more than
Russia's or England's, or those of any
other power with which the United States
has friendly relations2 Have American
troops become mercenaries, or is Amer
lean blood to be split free in defense Of
Mexico's revolutionary President If
this is not "Mexicanizing" we are at a
loss for proper term to apply to it.

RAt q gathering OF Baptist minis.

wAt gathering OF Baptist minis
ters last week the question "Are there
answers TO mems prayers by the Holy
Spirit ?" was discussed. The report OF
the proceedings says:
Brother Cailhopper Of Keyport, N j.,
told about his own child, who was
thought to he dying with diphtheria,
when the brother was praying, "Lord, il
there be any help for the child, for
Christ's sake send it," and almost imme
diately, an old woman entered the house
and asked to treat the child, as the doc
tor had given it up to death She boiled
some beans in bag, applied them, and
the disease was expelled. Brother Gail
hopper thought that the words of the
prayer were dictated by the Spirit.
Brother Coleman said that he had Q
story to match Brother Cailhopper's :
He, too, had child sick with diptheria
he laid it down dead, as be supposed
But physician worked over it for three
hours and restored ii to life And Bro
Coleman did not pray for the child's re.

&EA Convention OF tobacco dealers
assemblies at Barnesville to-day, the 25th
inst Commenting on an article that ap-
peared in last weeks SPIRIT the Barnes
vile Enterprise says:
"Here is chance to abolish at one
stroke the spectators who come between
the local dealers and the consumers-a
chance to save commissions and to make
the trade independent of eastern influ-
enee. II Is in the power Of the proposed
Convention to make the State Warehouse
not only financial success, but to use il
as an instrumentality that will release
Ohio from the vassalage Of Baltimore.
This action may not be contemplated by
the Convention now, but il is we'll to lay
q afoundation for the future. This Ware
house was built for the benefit of the
Ohio trade, and it is the duty of an Ohio
Convention to consider the matter ant
appoint committee for the purpose. /
any defects exist, it is in the power o
the Convention to remedy them"

BIaine's Attempt at Mexicanization.

During the consideration OF the Sundry
Civil Bill in the Senate on the 18th inst,
Blaine relieved himself of five minutes
worth of poison aimed at Hayes. The
item being considered was an appropra-
tion of $4,000 TO pay the expenses OF the
louisiana Commission, which had been
advanced by the First National Bank OF
New York. Blaine opposed.it in a bristling
speech, setting forth that the only work
the Commission did was to overthrow the
title of Governor Packard, which was
equally as good as President Hayes.
Mcdonald, of Indiana, asked him if he
intended to assail the Presidents title,
whereat Blaine retorted; mo; l only
mean to defend title which rests on
equal ground with his own" The appro-
priation to reimburse the bank was lost,
and unless John Sherman repays it out OF
his own pocket it ought and will be char
ged to the profit and loss account.
An article on the fourth page OF this pa
per should be read in connection with the
above.

LOCAL Wool TRADE,-There has been
some movement in the wool trade dur
ing the past week, and several growers in
this vicinity have parted with their clips.
Mr.. Joseph Close, of st. Cairsville,
has been operating in the vicinity of NAL
aga, paying from 80 to 80 cents. Messrs.
Horkheimere, Of Wheeling, were paying
in the neighborhood of Beallsville about
33 cents. Messrs. j. Braddeld & Sons,
of Barnesville, have been purchasing at
from 80 to 33. While considerable wool
has been purchased, many farmers decline
to part with their clips at those figures,

The New Congressional Districts.
What a Republican Paper Says Of
the "Outrage."
tBucyrus Journal (Rep)

What a Republican Pap er Says of
the "Outrage."
tBucyrus Journal (Rep)
The Republican papers are bowling
over the shape of some Of the new Con-
gressional districts.
They are tho late. Had they joined
the Journal in 1872 in its vehement pro-
tests against the damnable political i'm
quity then perpetrated by the ,Republi-
cans, their protests might now be some
thing better than confessions Of compli
city in previous political crime.
Regard the XlVlh distric. as arranged
by republicans. Wyandot Crawford, Rich
land, Ashland and Holmes, FIVE Demo
cratic counties, each East OF the other in
the order mentioned. A district over
100 miles long, by an average Of about 33
miles and extending within ten miles of
half way across the State. Was ever a
Congressional district more infamously
constructed?
The Journal denounced such political
villainy then, and now it has only to say,
it is only this kind OF political dishones
ty that has destroyed the handsome Re-
publican majority which belongs to
Ohio.
Republicans cannot denounce the pres
ent Democratic dishonesty, when it stands
bright and honest by comparison with
the iniquity OF 1872.
Itisa Republican curse like chicken
come home to roost.
Ifthe party will learn that honesty is
the best policy in politics as we'll as in
individuals, and cease to countenance in
the party, acts from which individuals
would shrink, then the Republicans may
hope to regain what they have lost by
the trickerv of their selfish leaders.
Mr.. Hayes has thrice been confessedly
the forlorn hope of the party; he has
saved it from defeat thrice, from the indi-
vidual purity ofhis social character. No
thieving salary grab nor anxiety for a
nomination, nor intriguing to secure re.
suits, or completely in a disgraceful con-
gressional districting scheme attaches to
him. Let Republicans study his person
al anu political purity and sense of right,
and learn wisdom aud political purity by
his exalted example.
As for this redistricting iniquity, the
party has just itself to thank for 1t and no
one else. e Fs 81 -. 81.
