Mr.. Woodward did keep Mr.. Koyser's
horse In his stable over night. A reward
of $50 was offered for the capture of the
thief and return of horse. According to
the offer, Mr.. Woodward could have
claimed $25, but he made no charge what
ever, and Mr.. Keyser paid him $1,000 some
two months afterward.-G reenJdck Herald
We stated that we had been in
formed that Mr.. Woodward charged
$500 for returning the horse. The
Herald says he only got SO, and that
he made no charge. but was entitled
to $500, leaving the inference that
he would have taken that amount IL
Mr.. Kizer had given it to him. The
Herald, by its insinuations, has been
trying to iniure Mr.. Woodward ever
since its first issue. 1t states that he
is rich man, and then quotes from
the Bible to prove that it is hard for
rich man to enter the kingdom OF
heaven, and that he should sell his
property and divide. 1t is evident
that the editors OF the Herald think
that it is a crime for Mr.. Woodward
to be worth more money than they
are: but Notwithstanding their abuse
OF Mr.. Woodward, we believe that he
is equally as good man as either
kcDuffie or Downey.

The fiat" money men are constant

The fiat money men are constant
ly denouncing the money class
meaning every man who has accu-
INFLATED anything and tried to take
care of it. They forget, or 30 not
seem to understand that there is
truth in finance as in religion, that
labor is the source of all capital, that
one class is not in antagonism to
another, that labor cannot prosper
where capital is ruined, or capital
thrive where labor is oppressed, that
the two must go hand in hand to-
gether. IF they will take the trouble
to inquire they will find that nine out
of every ten OF these capitalists be-
gan as laboring men, that by indus
try and economy they have accumu-
lated and saved what has made them
rich. Then they talk about usury
being the cause OF hard times, for
getting again that cheap money al
ways makes high interest. Then
they denounce the national banks.
forgetting again that national bank
ing is free, and that il such an i'm
mense amount of money is made by
the bankers, that there would not be
a hundred millions OF dollars lying
unused and drawing nc interest, and
capitalists would not be eager to in
vest their money ia bonds that only
draw four per cent. They say that
everybody was forced to get in debt
and that they now have right to re-
pudiate their debts, or pay them in q
worthless currency, thus declaring
that men have right to deny their
agreements and cheat their cerditors
because they have failed in specula
tons by which they expected to make
money. No man would borrow mon.
rey, or go in debt, If he did not expect
to make it pay, and if he fails be-
cause he errs in judgment he is to bt
pitied and should not be crushed, bu
to give him the right to repudiate hi
debts and to attempt to destroy eve

The Greenback Destroyer says that
the Democratic saloon element caus-
ed the nomination Of the Republican
candidate for sheriff. That state
ment needs no refutation, as every
body that is acquainted with the men
that composed the Republican con-
vention know that it is false; but
coming from the organ OF a party
whose entire county ticket was made
up by caucus before the convention
met, and that had the impudence to
strike the name of the candidate for
sheriff from the ticket a week after
be was declared nominated by the
convention, and substitute the clique
candidate In his stead, 1t is decidedly
cheeky. Many persons will remem-
Der how McDuffie went whining
around town after the nominations
were made telling people that the
Greenback convention at Indianapo-
was careful to select the candidates
equally from the two old parties and
that their convention here ought to
have done the same thing, showing
tn at he cared nothing for honesty or
principle, but only wanted to be
elected recorder, and was willing to
declare that he had belonged to anv
political party provided 1t would
make him votes. Il the Greenback
men Of this county possess any indie
pendence they will repudiate the
action Of the clique, and as a matter
of course they will vote for John V.

qualified to fill the office, in a manner
that will reflect credit on himself and
the men that supporthim.:

A dispatch from Cincinnati to the
inter Ocean, dated August 9Th, says:
Considerable excitement has been
created here by the development that
a manufacturer in this city is engaged
in the manufacture OF large guam
tity Of hand grenades. An Enquirer
reporter called on him and was in
formed that the rumor that no was
making them was true. but whether
they were for communists or not he
dared not to know. He said he re-
ceived an order for 10000 from Cali
fornia parties, and he was making
them, and that was all he knew or
wanted to know. 1t is, however, sus-
pected by some that they are for
communists OF this section. A letter
recently received by an officer OF the
Socialistic Labor party here, from a
leader of communists in Pennsyl-
venia, said that the communist there
were Earned with hand grenades
and prepared to do effective work
when the time came" 1t Is feared
that this system OF preparation for an
uprising is spreading, and that this
is the meaning OF the activity In this
line Of manufacture.

The Chicago Inter Ocean, being
asked why it is now in favor OF re-
rumption, says:
The Inter Ocean opposed the resump-
ton law, and advocated It's repeal. 1t be-
lIeves that law responsible for much of
the distress that has fallen upon the coun-
try; but now that resumption seems prac-
tically accomplished, We regard it as safer
TO GO forward than to turn back. We are
in favor of coming to specie payments,
therefore, because: l. If gold, silver, and
paper becomes of equal value, then the
boarded specie will be in large part re-
leased. and, entering into the circulation
of the country, will increase the volume
of current money as much as would cor
responding issue of Treasury notes. What
amount would thus be thrown into active
circulation is uncertain, but il is estimated
at from two to four hundred millions.
LII this estimate is correct, resumption is
the speediest road TO expansion.
1fit is wrong, the quickest way of de-
termining the error of the resumptionists
is to come squarely to the test. 1t should
be remembered thai the Treasury does not
propose to retire greenbacks when re-
deemed, but to pay them on; again regu-
larly.
We might go further into details and
enlarge upCn the various points presented
above, but it is unnecessary here. If any
person, be he Republican, Democrat, or
Greenbacker, can offer valid argument
against the views entertained by the Inter
Ocean we should be glad to hear 1t.

learned that the wheat crop of the state is

crop is per cent. better than last year,
the acreage Z per cent larger Oats per
