1.-THE Ohio Idea"


Those democratic papers which have
been in haste to make war upon the ma
tional banks, and take the position that the
government should issue all the paper
currency of the country will encounter a
strong opposition in their own party The
New York World and Senator Bayard
ably lead this opposition and propose to
hold their ground. 10 an article in the
issue of the 3rd inst, the World says ::
mo one can fail to see that the idea is gem
orally abroad that if the government ex-
,inguished the national banks and
manufactured all the paper money
of the land In its Washington fac
tory the government would somehow
save SI3 200, 900 OF annual interest. But
liz le is thought or said of SlS.0O0,0G0 OF
annual taxes which those banks now pay.
There are many voters who appear to
think that the banks have got in some
manner. without paying for them, the
bonds which they hold as the basis for
their business. whereas of course the
banks bought and paid for them, and are
entitled to the legal interest on them like
every body else. 1t is presented that their
net earnings are enormous, whereas last
year they did not reach per centnm on
the average. 1t is said. too, that the banks
are money power" which is certainly
true but we have never heard that as as
sociations they have combined to use that
power in politics for or against either po-
litical party. Banks Of issue as well as
Of deposit and discount. all commercial
communities have demanded and must
have. Can our communities be an excep-
ton 1t Is the safest and most flexible
banking systems safest for note-holders.
depositors and borrowers-which the
country should have, and If a better than
the existing system can be devised let us
BY all means straightway have it."
The World then goes farther and cites
the opinions Of distinguished men in re.
gard to the legal tenders when they were
first authorized by the government, and
among them quotes Mr.. Pendleton OF Ohio
as objecting to the legal tenders, because
Congress had no power under the const
tuition to do what the bill authorizing them
provided for. Nevertheless" says the
World, "the democracy of Ohio under the
fatal influences of "the idea of Ohio"
ask the central government at Washing
ton to emit, in time of profound peace,
under the pressure of no great emergen-
cy, more of that unconstitutional paper
money which Mr.. Pendleton so accurately
described. Ohio protests against the ''mon.
ey power" of some 2, 100 separated bank
: ing associations in the land as dangerous
TO the welfare of the country, but appears
TO see no peril for the nation or its liberties
in a money power enthroned on the shores
of the Potomac in the person of one man,
and he the Secretary Of the Treasuiv-with
bis army Of special agents, marshals, de-
tsc,ives and x.gatherers-armed with
discretion to put out or take back the pa
per money of the republic at will II

stitution any distinction whatever between
such prerogative money and the obnox-
ions fiat money, we are unable to discover

CRAZY TRAIN,

The versatile George Francis Train
lectured to large audience in New
York last evening, and among other
things said that Shakespeare was a
fraud and played out; that the press
was played out; that Recorder Hack
EFT, Surgeon Hommond and District
Attorney Phelps were frauds and
''would be the first men to bangle on
lamp-posts when the Commune began
operati0ns;,' that the standing army
was fraud and would be abolished
when he became Dictator. He pre-
dicted that in sixty days from now
there would not be two-hOrse car
riage in Central Park. He said some
men were sent to stop cannon balls,
and the cpipples were left to propa
gate the race; that Bob Ingersoll was
a fraud, for he divided the money
with the Y. NJ. C. A. IS, and that Tom
Paine was drunkard and Deist, not
an Atheist. At this man rose in
the audience and said that Train was
a liar. Train said lie was every inch

he was s'as good a man as Train
The audience grew excited, women

WALKING IN THE WATER.

A New Jersey man, Of an inventive
turn of mind. undertook to accomplish
the biblical feat of walking on water.
He had made two immense India
rubber shoes inflated with air. Then
he went down to the river, buckled ON
his shoes, and succeeded in walking
fifty yards, and was making bravely
for the opposite shore. when he was
struck by 4 stiff breeze, and lost his
balance. His head went down and
his feet remained above water. and
fifteen minutes later couple of
gunners. sighting the huge shoes,
mistook them for a couple of amphib-
ious monsters and riddled them with
buckshot. This released the air and
the man disappeared. He was found
two weeks afterwards. but he was
dead as the late Julius Caesar, Esq.

THE DANCER OF REPRESENTATION.

We were passing two girls who
were leaning over fence In mutual
converse, when one said to the other:
Il have got something to tell you.
What is it? was the eager in
quiry.

tell you sometime.
What common thing this is among
young girls. How often it is heard.
Il have got something to tell you. l
can't tell You now. but l will some
time" Why not now! Why some
times Little does the careless utterer
of these words realize their sad i'm
port. Some time may never come.
Delayes are dangerous. We should
never put off until tomorrow what
we can do to-day. for the morrow may
never come What we have got
to tell our friends should he told them
now. Only short time ago this same
remark was made by one young girl
to another. She said:
"Oh. I've got something to tell

panion.
..Oh, l can't. But I'll tell you some

Thus they parted. They never met
again in this life. Within twenty
four hours the pleader was taken
violently ill. and was soon dead.
What her friend wanted to tell her
was that she was to have dress trim
med with navy-blue silk; but she put
off the information 10 another time.
and she who thirsted for the words
died. and never knew what was to

MARRIAGE OF A WOMAN TO A Wo NAN

Marancy Hughes was married in
September last to a person who was
known as Samuel NJ. Pollard. Her
relatives opposed the match, and she
elOped and was married without their
knowledge, and a short time after
their marriage Pollard confessed to
her that she was woman; that she
had trouble with her relatives in the
east; had lost her property, and as
sumed the disguise of man for the
reason that avenues for making mon
ey would be open to her in that char
acter which would be closed to her as
woman. Pollard has never given her
any particular reason for doing her
this great wrong, but is believed to
have been actuated by Il foolish pride
III appearing in the character of "a
married man. The victim was asham-
ed 10 acknowledge that she had been
so imposed upon, and shrunk from
admitting the truth. Pollard. with
out actually threatening her life, re-
peatedly intimated that it would be
bad for her if she exposed her. and
so she kept silent until fortnight
ago, when her aunt got an intimation
OF the fact, and questioned her close
ly. and she related to her the whole
story. The victim says that the
woman real name is Sarah NJ. Pol
lard, and that her trunk is filled with
feminine apparel. A complaint was
Iiled yesterday by j. C. Howerton ac-
cusing Pollard of perjury in swearing
when he took out the marriage license
that he was male Tuscarora Ne

DESTROYED BY AN EARTHQUAKE.

The town Cuba received about all
the serious damage resulting from
the recent shock. 1t lies about fifteen
miles from Caracas. and was hand
some, fiourishing place. The shock
of the 10Th entirely destroyed it. The
loss Of life was fearful. No full ac-
count has yet been obtained Of the
number killed. About two hundred
have thus far been taken from the
ruins. Three hundred soldiers, aided
by a larger number of volunteers.
worked in the difficult task of ex-
Treating the bodies. The stencil was
almost insupportable. After the
search had ceased fire was applied to
the ruins to prevent a pestilence.
The President, at the first news of
the disaster dispatched large body
of men to the relief Of the town with
cart loads of provisions. He also sent
doctors and surgeons as we'll as
coaches to bring the people into the
city, and announced that he took the
sufferers all under his private pro-
lection. The destruction of the city
was as sudden as it was complete.
In almost every house there were
victims either killed or wounded. or
both. Fortunately the hour was
early. Had it been two hours later,
when the majority of people would
have been much more dreadful.
Fortunately. also, the day and evening
had been extremely hot. and many
people were out trying to catch II
little GOODNESS in the open parks, and
SO were preserved.
One gentleman. who was in the
park, says he was out looking at the
cathedral. when suddenly. it seemed
to rise straight up in the air. and,
being thrown clear off its foundations,
it fell forward to the ground iii one
mass of ruins.
The river TUT, running through the
city, had been SO hot that all that day
the inhabitants had been unable to
drink it's water; and the fishes were
observed to be very uneasy, jumping
frequently out of the water. where
they were apparently uncomfortable
from its heat. On the banks of the
stream great tishures were opened
which became filled with water that
gave forth such Il stencil that persons
who had encamped on its banks were
obliged to leave the vicinity. Small
hillockS of sand, having the same
smell, werel thrown up IN different
spots. Nearly all the coffee and
sugar plantations for several miles
around Qua and other towns near Qua
have been more or less injured, but
fortunately no lives have been lost
