OHIO POLITICS.

With the embezzlement of Helman,
the Republican Treasurer of Wayne
county, and the embezzlement ofthe late
Republican Treasurer of Richland coun.
ty, fresh in the recollection of our peo-
pie, there is not much room for Republi-
can partisans to make capital out of the
Fessler embezzlement.--PatNGm Co,
Sentinel.
The Republican leaders are a pious
conscientious crew? While they dog
gedly refuse to indorse Hayes's adminisN
tration, they are swift in indorsing the
fraud that made him President. In Iowa,
Pennsylvania, and Michigan, they ig-
more the administration, but give the
fraud hearty Endorsement while in
Ohio they give the administration an in
dorsement so feeble that it can't stand
alone, but stand firmly by the great
traud.-AHeH Co. Democrat.
There is nothing palmer or more
truthful than what was declared by the
Democratic Stale Convention in reference
to the present stagnation of business af>
fairs. The sentiment fairly meets the
views of every thinking mind in the
land; "The commercial and industrial
stagnation that has so long prevailed
throughout the country, and the conseN
quent depression and suffering, are due
directly to the pernicious financial legis-
lation of the Republican party."-ASAs
land Press.
There is class of communists who
dress in purple and fine linen; who
build and live in marble palaces who
fare sumptuously every day who keep
retiRue of servants; who drink the best
of imported wines and smoke nothing
but imported cigars; and this class has
stolen from the people of this Nation
every dollar that it takes to live in this
luxurious manner. There is the railroad
communist, the broken bank communist,
the credit mobilier communist, the reveN
nue. collector communist, the whisky
ring communist, and then there is the
chief of them all-the Presidential com.
munist There are the communists that
are bawling for large standing army.

The lawyers went for Jay Cookies es-
tate, as appears from the statement of
the trustee, giving an account of the ex-
penses Of settlement, that $84,673 were
expended for counsel fees and for litiga-
ton; the trustee of the estate received
for commissions and special compensa-
ton $33 .207, and the committee of Credi-
tors $4,000. Including the fees of the
Register in Bankruptcy, of the Marshal,
clerk hire, etc., there is a total expendi-
ture of $2l6,795. These figures point out
the manner in which the bankrupts' es-
tates are feeced out Of the moneys that
should be applied to the payment of
creditors. About seven per cent of the
total assets of the estate have been eaten
up in expenses, and the creditors, while
losing the interest on their claims, have
also had their principal diminished.

THE half yearly report of the business
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad to July, is
published. As compared with last year
the showing is: Decrease in gross earn.
ings $65,976; decrease in expenses $780,
961 increase in net earnings $7O 9S5. The
first six months of 1878 compara I'd with
the corresponding period of 1877, make
the following showing: Increase in
gross earnings $l15,541, decrease in ex-
penses $5OO,397, increase in net earnings
$616.478. The lines west Of Pittsburgh
and Erie for the first six months of this
year show deficiency in meeting all the
liabilities of $6O3, 1897, which is a gain
over the corresponding period of 1877 of
SLOPES. This indicates a net surplus
for the year of nearly $5,OOO,OOO.

BALANCE OF TRADE FICTION.

The New York Herald, in an article
favoring free trade in ships-that is, al
lowing Americans to buy ships where
they can buy them Cheapest-instances
the fact that England imports more
than she exports, while we of the United
States export much more than we inn
port" Therefore, England, according to
prevalent notion, ought to be getting
poorer and we richer. Yet the fact Is,
that though both countries are affected
by general depression of trade, in Eng
land since 1873 pauperism has constantly
decreased in this country it has rapidly
increased. Among the reasons the Her
aid assigns for thisis, that though we ex-
port an enormous quantity of agriGultu-
raj products, we sell but a trihing amount
of our manufactures abroad. We have
little foreign commerce, and cannot get
rid Of our surplus products, nor will we
be able to do 80 until the carrying trade
of American products is IN our own
hands. This fact is brought out, incl
dentally, by an English writer, Professor
Fawcett, quoted by the Herald, in his
recent inquiry into the causes of the
commercial depression which troubles
all the world. He remarks that though
England imports much more than she
exports, she does all her own carrying
trade, and almost all that of the United
States and many smaller countries, and
thus earns great deal of money yearly,
even upon the products we send her. HG,
says that in 1876 the United States exS
ported agricultural products to the value
of $465 100000, but that England, doing
the most of our carrying trade, earned
the freight money on almost all this vast
sum. Thus, he says, for the quarter of
wheat which is imported into Liverpool
from New York, and which is entered as
worth forty six shillings, England has to
pay the United States only forty shillings;
the remaining six shillings is received
by the English ship owner and importer.
Here is certainly an important leak, that
we ought to be able to stop, and which
we can stop as soon as Congress allows
Americans to buy ships where they can
buy them cheapest. Before 1860 between
75 and so per cent of our commerce was
carried in American ships; in 1876 less
than 80 per cent was carried; the great
remainder was borne in foreign bottoms,
and the freight was earned by foreign
ers. We lose probably notless than fifty
millions a year by this suicidal course.
Engishmen are allowed by their laws to
buy ships wherever they wish. Can any
good reason be given why the people Of
the United States should not enjoy the
same rights? Why should we continue
to lose the great sum which England
earns by doing our carrying trader

respective precincts, members of the

THE 10TH DISTRICT.

A comparison of the vote of the four
counties composing this Congressional
district, will enable our readers to Judge,
each for himself, as to General Wiley's
chance of an election. In the following
table we give the vote last year and the
year before, and it will be seen the ma
jority for Tilden was 879, while Bishops
majority over West was 2,19l, and Bish-
op over West and the Greenback and
Labor candidate was $50, Gen. Wiley is
undoubtedly stronger than either Tilden
or Bishop, and his majority will be at
least double that of Tilden.

WHEN General Wiley, in the glow of
robust health, marched off to the war,
he was cheered on by Republicans, as
well as by Democrats, and assured that
he should be remembered by prayerfuI
gratitude if he fell, and that he should
be honored if he returned alive. He re-
turned, having left at Mission Ridge
leg in attestation of his bravery and pa>
triotism. Now, that he stands in the at,
titude of candidate for Congress before
the people of this District he should res
ceive the cordial support of those Res
publicans who applauded him as he
marched forth to battle and promised
him so much in the future.

DENNIS KEARNEY, the leading agitator
communist, or something else, has arriv-
ed at Boston from San Francisco. His
intent is supposed to be to show people
how to do it in the East. Mr.. Kearney
and many others ought to learn that the
only correct rule by which to run gov
ernment is JUSTICE. The public policy of
this country is required by our Constitu-
ton to be in accord with justice, and this
includes equality Of rights. Just laws,
and all equal before the law, well ex.
presses the principle. Laboring men
and honest business men are specially
interested in public affairs being care
fully managed, and run in the line of
equal and exact justice. Restrictive laws
and special privileges are in the interest,
and for the benefit of the favored few,
and to the injury and robbery of labor
and honest business. Manipulators and
schemers control the public policy, in
this way disturb values by initiation and
contraction, by protective" tariffs, &C.,
and thus pile up their gains, ending in
revulsions and paniCs and ruin.

TIE outrages upon Mohammedans in
the Philoppopolis district, long account
Of which was telegraphed recently, are
reported as still continuing. The aggres.
sors are Roumanians and Russian sold
iers, and their atrocities, as reported by
an Englishman who travelled through
the country, are equal in horror to any
committed by the Bashi-Bazouks upon
Christians in the early days of the re-
cent war. 1t is expected the foreign en-
bassadors at Constantinople will take
hold of the matter, and make such rep
resentations to the Russian authorities
as will bring these troubles to speedy
conclusion. vsr mT

THE Potter Committee have suspended
investigation until August 10Th unless
sooner called together by the Chairman.
Gov. Palmer, the only witness examined
made significant admission. Having
been asked the question, whether the
election in Louisiana was fair, he said it
was not, and further stated the feeling
was general that both Tilden and Mich
oils were elected. Having learned that
some Republicans had access to the com.
piling room of the Returning Board
quarters, he asked the same privilege,
but was refused. He further stated the
colored people voted the Democratic
ticket of their own free will, on account
of the misappropriation of school funds
by Republicans. Governor Nichols was
more respected by the colored people
than any other Governor he knew of;
and even more than Gov. Packard. The
evidence adduced from this witness
forms an important link to that which
has 80 far been elected. r-

young men that write for the Rep. in the
absence of Mr.. Vance, at Washington,
serving John Sherman. For instance,
neither A. McGregor nor the Stark Co.
DEMOCRAT ever designated the boys as
"Lincoln hirelings," nor any other OPP
probrious terms. A. McGregor was a
delegate in the Democratic National
