US that these visitors receive a
favorable impression of this an
gelic city, and we should leave
nothing undone to insure this re-
suit.
have been about the streets of
late and have noticed that In many
places the weeds have encroached
upon the sidewalks; in some local
tiles rubbish has accumulated, and
in front of the houses of some ex.
ceedingly dirty people garbage has
been thrown. Frequently, too, the
shade trees-magnificent peppers
have been neglected and the
branches have grown so low as to
cause Inconvenience to passers
on the sidewalk. On Main
street, near a certain fashionable
livery stable, there Is a very dan
geyous hole in the middle of the
sidewalk.
Now, 1t would be to the best in

REPUBLICAN, journals prate about Gov
ernor Bishops pardons, but they do not
charge or intimate corruption in connec'
ton with them, as was the case In the
pardon by Governor Young, Of Close Of
Fremont, who paid Mr.. June, promi-
nent Republican politician, and intimate
with Young, FIVE hundred dollars to pro-
cure his pardon, which met him at the
Columbus depot on his way to the Peni'
tentiary. Such was the last Republican
Governor of Ohio, who is now Repub-
lican member of Congress elect, from
Cincinnati. AS to character, Bishop and
Young ought not to be named together.
The formeris a moral, christian mar, and
has been throughout his life, and we are
not aware that this was ever claimed for
the latter. Yet Young is representa-
tive man of "the party of great moral
ideas" The same party had Grant
Belknap- Robson administration for
eight years, and talk of trying to restore
it. This administration was the most
abandoned and disgraceful the civilized
world has seen for centuries, This scoun-
try never saw anything like it, and never
may again. Robbery and liCentiousness
was the rule, and decency and morality
the exception. All was done with an ef-
frontery worthy of Satan's imps, and
with an air of sanctity
Their steal OF the Presidency was in
character, and they face that, too, with
the brazenness of hardened criminal
and the piety of an accomplished hypo'
critic. It is the party of organized
wrong, and its need is only limited by
it's audacity. "Ye cannot serve God and
mammon," says the great Master, for
they represent opposite principles, the
principles of rightand wrong, justice and
injustice, purity and depraviiy. Every
act of the Republican party, their whole
policy, give unmistakable evidence that
they worship wholly, entirely, and con-
tinuously at mammon's shrine. Their
tariff policy, their financial policy, their
corrupt model Republican Grant admin
istration, their theft of the Presidency
and numerous other acts. Corroborate the
charge and fasten the guilt.
To meet all this infamy, their journals
resort TO personal attack upon Democrats,
maligning honest men, with view to
withdraw public attention from their own
party infamy and iniquity, Their perse'
cution of Mr.. Tilden, aud their mean as.
saults upon Governor Bishop are fully
accounted for on this principle.

THE SCHOOL Book MONOPOLY.
Next to the Standard OIL Company
monopoly, we would place the school
book ring. We do not know that thie
book monopoly can be reached by legis.
lation; but it can be reached by reqnlr'
ing teachers to instruct without using
books in school, This requirement
would necessitate the employment OF
teachers who were encyclopedias OF
knowledge and who were scholarly
thinkers. With good supply OF black
boards, states and pencils, paper, pens
and ink as we'll as lead pencils, certain
y much thorough teaching might be
done. To all this might be added some
other useful school apparatus
By teaching without books, teachers
would necessarily have to be qualified,
and would be compelled to give each
pupil individual attention. They could
not shufIl, their pupils off home each
day to get their lessons there, and thus
dodge the highest and most important
duty of the true teacher, namely, to as
sist their pupils to get their lessons un-
derstandingly, without excessive and
discouraging labor,
1t is estimated that the school text
books of Ohio cost each year six hund.
red thousand dollars more than they
rightfully ought to cost. 1t is also claim
ed by some that these text books used in
Ohio are inferior in character, and cost
forty per cent more than is asked for the
best.
Monopoly is the curse Of this country.
For centuries monopoly has been the
great enemy of trade and progress-the
robber of the people.

The Akron Beacon politely remarks
that "the Cleveland Herald's missionaries
have found a lamentable lack of light in
some of the public school buildings of
that city, the consequence being serious
impairment Of the pupils pupils."-
Cleveland Herald.
And to help the matter, the pupils are
probably placed with their backs to a
blackboard wall and the windows in
front. We found Eliis arrangement in a
school room not long since on a cloudy
day, and the pupil was troubled to get
light on his book. A change was sug-
gested to the teacher, by which light
would strike the book.

A REPUBLICAN SHERIFF IN TROU.
BILE,

Sheriff Williams, of Armstrong county,
Pa, was on trial last week at Kittanning,
on an indictment charging him with the
corrupt use of morey, bribing &c, to se-
cure his nomination by the Republican
party, and his election by the people,
After considerable argument by the
counsel on both sides, the Court suggest
ed that the indictment be amended, by
striking out that part of it which Charg
ed the use of money at the Republican
primaries, and that part was stricken
out.
The trial then proceeded. The gener.
al drift of the evidence for the Common
wealth was as follows: George Mack
swore that Williams had given him five
dollars for going with lin and introduce
ing him to voters at Cahill's furnace. r.
D. Weaver also received FIVE dollars for
leaving his chosen candidate and going
for Williams. James B. Walker, hotel
eeper, testified that Williams had au-
horized him to pay out money where it
wouu do good, and that he had used his
judgment in dispensing money and whis.
ky to the amount of seventy.hve dollars,
and that Williams had reimbursed him
TO that amount In pursuance to Will
liams's gen raj order, Walker had given
twenty-five dollars to G. w. Cooke to 90
to Parker and fix things up for Williams
there. He had also used other amounts
for the defendant. Several other wit.
nesses testified to transactions of the
same import.
There was much excitement in Kittan.
ming before and during the trial, and
much difficulty was experienced in get
ting some of the witnesses for the Com
monwealth up to the rack.
On Friday evening the case went to
the jury, and at a late hour they returned
a verdict of guilty in manner and form
as indicted. Counsel for Williams ap-
pealed for a new trial. If the motion is
not granted the case will be appealed to
the Supreme Court. Meanwhile the Re-
publican party is not happy in Armstrong
county. The Franklin, Pay Spectator.

A FUGITIVE FROM THE GALLows
no BE RE URNED TO HIS DOOM.

EAsToN, December 20. - Yesterday
Detective Johnson ofthe District Attor-
ney's force, started for Memphis to bring
back to justice Allen c. Laros, who es'
capped from the lunatic asylum at Har-
risburg few months ago. Laros is the
young law student who, on May 81, 1876
dropped couple of ounces Of arsenic
into the family cofee-pot. His father
mother and boarder named Moses
Shrug died from the effects Of the dose,
and all the other members of the family
we're taken sick, but recovered, Allen
was arrested shortly after, and his trial,
which lasted twelve days, resulted in a
verdict of murder in the first degree,
and he was sentenced to be hanged.
Before the death warrant was issued.
however, a commission to examine as to
his sanity was appointed, resulting in
finding him insane, and he was sent to
the asylum to be treated Just before he
escaped he received information that
District Attorney c. M. Anstett was about
to move for the execution of the death
warrant on the ground thet the murderer
was no longer insane. His description
was telegraphed all over the country,
but no trace ofhis whereabouts was re-
ceived until a dispatch from the Chief of
Police Of Memphis brought the news
that he was in custody in that city. 1t
is thought here, in fact it is stated on the
of District Attorney Anstett,
that he will be executed as soon as posi-

THE Northern Pacific Railroad is max
ing progress. The road is now open to
Bismarck, and in another year will be in
operation one hundred miles further
west, giving easy access to the Black
Hills region. At meeting of the direc-
tors in New York the other day, bids
were received for building two. hundred
and FIVE mileJ, from the Missouri river
to the Yellowstone, which ranged from
$4 900 to $4,000 mile--or about one.
third less than most of the Western
roads cost. 1t was decided, however, to
build only one hundred miles now, for
the construction of which cash will be
paid, the money to be raised on a first
mortgage on the new hundred miles of
road The remaining one hundred and
five miles, to the Yellowstone, will not
be contracted for until more careful sur
veys are made.

A SCHOOL case has just been decided
by court in the State of New York in.
volving the right of parents to select the
studies which their children shall pursue
in the public schools. The court holds
that the trustees of school district may
prescribe what studies shall be pursued,
ald may regulate the classification of
the pupils, but that the parent may Sc
lect from the branches pursued those
which the child shall study so long as
such selection does not interfere with
the course prescribed, and that the child
cannot be excluded from one study
simply because Of being deficient in an.
other. In the case referred to the pupil
was refused admission to a public high
school because of his deficiency in
knowledge of grammar, which his father
had forbidden him to study. He had
asked to be permitted to pursue only
those studies in which he was sufficiently
proficient to entitle him to admission to
the high school. The court held that a
rule requiring his exclusion was unrea>
sonable and could not be enforced.

The N. Y. Tribune has been compell-
ed to take back all its charges as to the
expenditure of money by the Democratic
National Committee to buy up Return
ing Boards. We thought the Tribune
would have to do it. Hear it:
"Mr Cooper was the Treasurer of the
Democratic National Committee, and
there was nothing out of the way in his
furnishing money in reasonable amount
to an accredited agent of the party, at a
time when money was needed for law
yers, messengers, telegraph bills and
other legitimate expenses. We are as
sured that Mr. Cooper has preserved
careful list of all the payments which he
made as Treasurer of the National Com
mttee, on account Of these drafts from
Southern agents; that he is perfectly will
ling to give it to the public at any time,
and that there is nothing whatever in
bis connection with the business that re.
quires either concealment or explana-
nou, and We do mol doubt that This assurance
IS strictly correct"
Zach Chandler would hardly consent to
show up the financial operations of his
especially if he was the party
that paid the bribes the cipher kilograms
show the Returning Boards were in the
market for.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS rejubilant over
the fact that United States promises to
pay (greenbacks) are at par with gold
Greenbacks might have been at par
years ago had the administration in Re-
publican hands not been under the con-
troll of money spectators. Had green
backs been taken by government at par
for tariff dues and all other purposes,
they would have been at par long since.
The spectators in money controlled the
financial policy Of the government and
thus prevented simple justice to business
and laboring people. We know of no
government, save ours, in Republican
hands. that ever purposely degraded
and deprecated its own promises to pay
for the unholy purpose OF favoring mon
ey grubs and giving them cheap gov
ernment bonds. Justice has at last
come, in spite of Republican leaders,
and yet they claim great credit, and glo-
rify Sherman. 1t is now near thirteen
years since the war closed, and only
now are greenbacks at par with gold !
And the Republican party has been in
power all the time All this speaks
their shame, and not their glory

ing his innocence of the murder of LANG
DON in 1862. His name will live-long in
the history of the State, in connection
with his negotiations with Republican
politicians including the present Cover
nor and the Governor elect He was
used and guaranteed immunity; an in
dignant public compelled the disregard
of the pledges; then it was sought to
save him by sharp practice with the
Pardon Board. This too, failed. KEHoE
was a bad man, but if situations had
been reversed, we doubt if he would have
acted so criminally and then so treach-
erously, as some of the State officials
with whom he was brought in contact in
the memorable negotiations of 1875, and
the later plottings,-PttS. P0StI9th.
