We have often wondered how Chris
party-a party whose corner stone is the
idea that the strong may control the
weak-that one part of mankind has the
right to live by the unpaid toll of another
part-that might makes right. For TWEEN
ty years past the Democratic party has
hated everything that is fair, or honest,
or good. The party has hated the church
the preachers, and all that is moral, or
elev ating.
Listen to the Ohio Statesman, the only
Democratic paper published in Columbus:
"While there is no doubt that preach
ers are, as rule, better than other men,
yet it behooves them, as a class, ~ avoid
the very appearance of evil, since SO much
is made out of even the slightest indis-
cretion upon their part [Steubenville
Gazette"
Criminal statistics show that the pro-
portion of preachers who are guilty of
criminal practices is more than twice as
great as that of any other ordinary occu
patton. And not only this, but society
is so organized that preachers find immu-
nifty from exposure and punishment
where ordinary men find no favor.
preachers sin reflects on his whole con-
gregation and consequently, in accord
ance with well understood social princi-
pies the man is shielded by the members
of the congregation as they would shield
themselves. This is not rejecting upon
Christian theories. but is simply a refer

For the Standard
Success.
"Think truly, and thy thought
Shall be q fruitful seed"

''Think truly, and thy thought
Shall be fruitful seed.'
In perusing the graduating addresses
found in the last weeks issue of the
Standard, l was forcibly reminded of the
one prevailing idea in each, namely, sue
cess. | do not know whether this was
intentional on the part of the writers or
not, neither do 1 care, but through your
indulgence, 1 wish to suggest few
thoughts on the same subject. The pro-
ductions, so far as l am capable of know
ing, were certainly meritorious One
writer conveys to US the idea. that perse-
verance, patience, long and constant ef-
fort, are the means by which we are to
become successful. How true it is, that
our lives are full of disappointments !
Failures to attain our end Discourage
ments, that shake our strongest purposesl
And the result of our utmost efforts,
seem but a cruel mockery of the real.
But we are to work on. Success is ours
if we but try again. Many are the re
proaches we shall meet. Unjust accusa-
tions will be hurled against u.s. Our aims
misinterpreted. Snares and temptations,
like the beast of prey, lie hidden along
the path to emincnce. Does our brother
aim at success Would we see him reach
his goal? Then in the spirit of true phi
lanthrophy, let us aid him in the strug-
gle. At least, in the name of God, let
US say or do nothing that shall detract
from his progress. o what rendings of
the heart to feel that we are misjudged !!
To feel that brotherly sympathy for
which the heart yearns, is denied us !!
But though earthly friends forsake US,
God will be our strength, and our every
disappointment and failure will ultimate
ly crown us victors in the end. The
youth of our land are either to becom e
blessings to it, lights in the world, and
ornaments to society, or blinded by the
vices of the world leap headlong into the
yawning gulf of destruction. Are we to
have a country over whose prosperity
and welfare, the "Stars and Stripes" shall
proudly float in the years to come? If
so there is work to do. Our boys and
girls shall perpetuate our glorious gov
ernment. Upon their shoulders shall
rest ourresponsibilities And shall they
assume them unprepared? Nay verify
but upon their impressionable minds, let
US make deep the impress of morality and
principle. Show them the true purpose
of life. Not to be daunted by obstacles,
or overcome by difficulties. Teach them
that perseverance and effort have their
reward. And 1 want to say right here,
that until the children are properly
trained, with minds morally and relig
iously cultivated, that the earth will yet
resound with crimes unparalleled, and
vice and folly shall stalk rampant through
the land. Instruct them then in the
ways of right. Teach them that patience
and labor are the means to proud success,
and then at last when they shall view
from the giddy height, the rugged path
way, from whose difficulties they have
just emerged, they cannot but exclaim,
truly, Rome was not built in day"

VIM. F. Owens went to Kentucky

VIM. F. Owens went to Kentucky last
week for Mr. Kinnisons horse, but the
Kentuckians refused to give him up un-
less they received hundred dollars
The thief is a Kentuckian. Six years ago
he committed burglary at Pine Grove
Furnace, and was convicted, and sentenc.
ed at Ironton, by Judge Harper, to the
Penitentiary. A short time ago he es-
capped, and a reward Of 5000 was offered
for him. The Kentuckians took him to
Columbus, and got the reward. Mr.. Kin
nison sent Handy Barton and Allison
Nelson to Kentucky, and they succeeded
in getting the horse on payment of fifty
dollars.

REVOLUTION.

The rebels, and other Democrats, pre-
tend to be backing down little from
their attack upon the title of Hayes.
This is all a sham to prevent 6 solid
union of the Republican party. Only let
them get majority in the next House,
as they have in this, and see if they do
not, (they then having the Senate) hoist
Hayes. The poor silly Republicans pre-
tend to think that if the Democrats put
Hayes out, it will be revolution. Why
Was it revolution to impeach Andrew
Johnson? The Senate came within a
vote or two of putting johnson out. No
one then thought of violating the con-
stitution or laws by SO doing. The Dem
ocrats can prove any thing. Suppose
they prove that Hayes was counted in
by conspiracy, and that after he got
into Office he carried out the conspiracy
by rewarding with Office the rascals
who did his dirty work. We have no
doubt the Democrats can prove this,
whether true or false; but good
many people will believe that it is true.
When the old stalwart Republicans
wanted Hayes to protect Packard and
Chamberlain in the offices to which they
had been elected. the Hayes apologists
replied that the Democratic house re-
fused to make appropriations to pay the
army, and he was powerless. They ad-
mitted that the House had the right to
withhold appropriations, Now suppose
both House and Senate refuse to make
any appropriations whatever, or in any
way recognize Hayes as President.
Would he be in any better position than
were Packard and Chamberlain when he
abandoned them? There was no pre-
tense by the Hayesites that the rifle clubs
were guilty. of revolution. How can they
now turn right about, and howl ''revolu-
ton" when dose of Hayes own medi-
cine is crammed down his own throat2

Human Goodness.

To the Editor of the Standard:
thing may be said to be good when
it serves the purpose for which it is in
tended. A house is good when it secures
convenience, comfort and health to the
inmates. A horse is good when he car
ries the rider with ease and speed and
draws the wagon and plow strongly and
faithfully.
But man is greater than a horse. He
is an animal, but he is more than an ami
NAL. He possesses a higher nature, is
subject to higher law, was made for
higher destiny, and must therefore pos
sess more exalted type of goodness. He
is endowed with intelligence, conscience
and moral freedom. Man is to be NOR
ally good. He is good when he answers
the object of his creation. See his pow
ers are to be employed iii the way de-
signed by the Creator
The will, the judgment, the memory
the reason, the affections are all to be
called into active, healthful exercise in
the true work of life. 1t is not enough

negative goodness. We are to be active
ly, earnestly, good. We must strive in
telligently and vigorously to overcome
all the evil of our natures to cultivate all
our powers to the greatest possible ex.
tent, and to do all the good within our
power. An infant is innocent, but it
cannot be said to be morally good. In
nocence is only part of virtue. True
virtue is not a gift but an acquisition. It
is achieved only by conflict on the great
moral battle field Of life. No one is nat
urally good, but all have the capacity for
the measure of goodness required of
them. Wealth, learning and talent be-
long to the few, but true moral worth
lies in the reach Of all. 1t depends on
no contingency of birth or surroundings.
1t is for all who honestly and heroically
strive for it and look to God for strength
and victory. 1t is the crowning glory of
human character. How the genious of

ence to the inherent faultiness Of the
preacher system. Preaching for the
most part, is but a method Of living by
ones wits. That which the preacher ex-
changes for the substantial things of life,
which he receives from his lambs, is too
often but airy nothings-buta an exchange
of buzzard for turkey. This is not saying
that men cannot be preachers and yet be
honest and useful citizens; it is only
saying that as rule they are not. The
preacher of the period has all the dis
honest instincts of the professional office
holder He is selfish and inconsiderate
of the interests of those whose bread he
eats He lives high and idly, and too
often is but social pirate. He cultivates
the arts of the ordinary confidence man
and makes his attainments in this line
secure his indulgences about as unscru-
pulously as anybody. His methods are
identical with those Of the patent medi-
cine man. He labors to make we'll peo-
pie believe that they are sick and that
his medicine is all that will save them
from death. On the whole the genteel
preacher who swings his switch cane
leisurely along our streets and saunters
in and out of our homes while honest
men are at work is most obnoxious
character, when you get at his true in
wardness."

LEON, Iowa, May -, 1877

LEON, Iowa, May %, 1878
To the Editor OF the Standard:
Home again. Yes, here we are, back
once more, on the boundless prairies of
Iowa, and we turn our gaze once more
back to the friends we left back among
the hills in Jackson county We GER
tainly do not begrudge them the domain
they occupy. Our stay among them was
brief, but we found them pleasant, and
certainly wish them all the pleasure that
can be obtained in such hilly district.
We think they fulfill the Scripture in
earning their bread by the sweat OF their
brow. We return thanks to all for the
kind treatment we received while with
them.
Our crop prospect is all we could wish
at this time of the year. All small grain
looks splendid, and if nothing happens
to it the yield will be larger than in
former years. The corn crop is little
late, owing to the cold and wet weather
for the last three weeks, but there is yet
plenty OF time to plant and raise crop.
| New potatoes are coming into market al
ready, and there will be a large crop Of
them. The meadows and the prairies
are all covered with a dense crop of grass.
So you see we are in no danger of starry
ing, if we do not get big price for what
we raise; but we want to tell you about
the temperance movement in our town
and county. Our temperance society in
Leon now numbers 400. There is not
a drunkard left in the town. Drug stores
are not allowed to sell it, and we do not
have any kind of saloon in the town.
While | am writing there is a big tenn
perance meeting going on across the
street in the opera house, which is
crowded to its utmost capacity, and
many can not get inside, and it will hold
1000 people. Men who have been hard
drinkers whole lifetime, have placed
their names on the pledge, and are going
to stick to it, God helping them. But
there are breakers ahead we fear, for we
notice the willy politician leading the
movement, and trying to turn it to q
good account in his favor. The Demo-
Gratis even now talk of nominating a
temperance ticket. This is their only
hope in Iowa. AS the most of that party
are famous for imbibing freely, it must
be great sacrifice to them to become
sober men, but we have no doubt they
will lose their faith in Democracy if they
live sober until the election this fall; so
we have nothing 10 fear from this, unless
they fall from grace when they find their
scheme fails, for fail it must in the
