The meeting at Baden Baden, it Is
stated, will be conference, not
congress. The term congress in
diplomacy is applied toan assemblage
OF sovereigns or ambassadors OF the
highest rank, convoked for the pur-
pose OF concluding a general peace,
or of treating of the general political
interests of Europe. In other words,
a congress Is a representative coun'-
Gil OF states or nations, which may
adjust differences determine and en-
force the rules of international law.
The term CONGRESSES applied TO meet.
ings on the most important OCCASIONS;
the term conference TO such meet
ings as that at London In 1871 and at
Constantinople in 1877. The meet
ing at Vienna In 1914 was congress,
as many of the sovereigns were pres-
ent. and all the states OF Europe
were represented, The meeting at
l. dTib Ill loOU was a tohti ooos oht oit
the great powers concerned were rep
resented by ambassadors, England
sending Lord Clarendon and Lord
Cowley. The meeting at Baden-Ba :
den will be only conference to con-
slider the new condition OF affairs and
their relations TO the international
law Of Europe as declared by the
congress OF Paris, the last congress
held in Europe. II the statement is
correct that each nation will be rep
resented by its Minister OF Foreign
Affairs. Russia will be represented by
Gortschakoff. Germany by Bismark,
England by Derby, and Austria b,
Count Andrassy.

PERSONAL.

Like all Americans I am willing to
put price on one Of my possessions,
and having pu. price on TIE Re-
PUBLICAN there came a man who had
the good sense to take ii. Accor-
dinghy with this issue Of THE REpuB-
LrcAN my proprietorship Of it ceases.
I desire to extend to the people Of
Marshall county my warmest thanks
for the cordial manner in which they
have received me, and patronized
my paper. They have so freely sup
ported me that THE REPUBLICAN to-
day enjoys good paying patronage,
something which has not occurred in
the history Of the paper for fifteen
years To the newspaper fraternity
OF Northern Indiana am under es-
pecial obligations for the kind and
courteous manner in which they
have treated me. think that the
guild In this section OF the State OF
Indiana, are the most gentlemanly,
and thoroughly practical men I have
ever met East or West. 1 sincerely
regret that I must part with you,
gentlemen.
The REPUBLICAN is now the prop
erty, and under the guidance OF
Messrs. Siders & Piper, two most
worthy gentlemen, and Republicans,
from the state of Illinois. 1 solicit
for them your most generous sup
port, for they will do their utmost to
merit anything you may do for them.
My future home will be in Fort
Scott, Kansas. My business &C
counts, notes, etc., are left with B. d.
Crawford, Attorney at Law, who win
attend to a settlement Of all accounts
claims, etc., due me. :.

money scarcely to be found in the
very section OF the country where it
should be plentiest.
During this period of speculation
we became almost nation of spend
thrifts, and otherwise sensible people
seemed as childish as the savage in
the love of trinkets and display.
But it is comforting even in this
period Of distress to know that
Shoddy is almost dethroned and will
never regain his brief but disgrace
full reign.
There is comfort, too, in comparing
our own inconsiderable distress with
that abroad
Germany and England are like us
suffering from general business
stagnation, and Russia and Turkey
VII have their turn as the result Of
tt war between them. The famine
in India was and is dreadful because
OF the number that have persisted;
and accounts from Northern China
tell of sufferings so terrible. that when
contrasted with our own full corn
cribs and wheat bins, should make us
feel that we are particularly favored.
With the experience Of the past
there is certainly hope for the fu-
ture. The same generation is not to
be overtaken twice by panic. To
us it seems that energy industry and
economy are needed now as much as
legislation. Again we ought to
stand by, and help each other. The
creditor who insists on driving his
honest but unfortunate debtor into
bankruptcy deserves the execration
OF every true friend OF humanity and
prosperity.
The man who can and will present
ly pay all that he owes should be
helped to do so, but the man who
contracts debts without any proba-
bility OF paying deserves all the
punishment that he can possibly re-
ceive. ~Pay as you go" is the best
motto for every man now. 1t is bet
ter to suffer slight inconvenience
than to contract many small debts.
Relying on the good sense and in
dustry Of the people, we have many
things to make us hopeful Of the
future. The granaries of Kansas,
Nebraska. Wisconsin and Iowa are
full TO overlooking. Minnesota's last
wheat crop is estimated at forty
millions Of bushels, Illinois has near
ly three hundred millions of bushels
Of corn, while our own Indiana is
blessed with bountiful crop. These
crops are being exported and gold
and greenbacks are coming back in
return, and If as men we do our duty.
we are on the eve Of better times.

Just Like a Democrat.

During rally in the Allen Hayes
campaign, a young Ashland gallant
said, referring to VIM. Allen, who
was then passing, "There goes the
next Governor Of Ohio" A fair CON-
panion to whom the remark was ad-
dressed took exception to it. A bet
OF four sheep was the result, the
young man, as events proved,
losing. He put off paying, however,
and in the Haves-Tilden contest lost
a similar wager. Still he neglected
to deliver the sheep, and making a
third venture Of the same kind on the
result of-the Electoral Commission,
again lost. The young lady then de-
manded the IL sheep. The young
man still procrastinating, the young
lady went to his Ashland store, the
other day, and bought S25 worth of
queensware on the galIant's account.
A few days later she was surprised to
have the goods replevined. and now
a suit in resistance is on the tapis.

First Won DIS.

One month ago we did not think
we should ever edit a paper in
Indiana But learning from Mr..
Caldwell that THE REPUBLICAN Office
was for sale, we came here and for
the first time saw your beautiful city,
were pleased with its appearance and
its people, bought the paper, and we
are here to stay.
Henceforth we expect to be iden-
titled with you: what we believe to
be your interest shall be our interest,
and the paper can succeed, must
succeed and shall succeed, il industry
and determination to furnish such
a paper as the people Of Marshall
county need are worth anything.
Politically the paper will continue
to be Republican: but while con-
tending for the principles of that
party, we shall not hesitate to con-
denim whatever we may believe to be
wrong whether emanating from
Democrat or Republican.
We are strangers. We have no
feuds to settle, no enemies to con-
ciliate, no friends to favor, no po-
htical or other axe to grind.
In the language OF David Crockett
we shall try to be "sure that we are
right then go ahead" regardless Of
consequences, believing that right
will make might" and that while we
are benefitting you we shall at the
same time do we'll for ourselves.

The Chicago Inter Ocean, the
leading greenback organ of the West,
says: 1--WE want to impress upon
our readers the fact also that there
is such thing as making money too
cheap as well as making it too dear.
The gold schemers made il too dear,
and thus property dropped to a
nominal price; the advocates OF an
illimitable paper currency might
make it too cheap, and thus unsettle
and confuse values. What we need
in money is a stable and fixed value
so far as possible, in which violent
fluctuations in either direction will
be avoided. This we say, while
maintaining steadfastly the position
held by this paper for years, that
greenbacks compose the best curren-
cy ever known in this country, and
that they should continue to form
the principal circulating medium, in
such quantities as are necessary and
convenient for the necessities OF
trade and commerce.

TO act with or without warrant OF
law, and for whom anarchy and con-
fusion give supremest satisfaction.
We know personally how earnestly
many noble men ia the South are
endeavoring to bury the horrid
skeleton Of civil war, and 10 lead
their States into channels where in
dustry and quiet can restore wealth
and thrift, and we know that such
men regard with aversion all at
tempts to revive and renew political
prejudices and animosities. Alex
ander Stephens in speaking in the
House on Tuesday upon the reviving
OF Carpenters picture of Lincoln,
reading the proclamation which Mrs.
Thompson presented it to Congress,
feelingly alluded to his desire for
peace and fraternity among the
States, covered a ground which we
haye heard many Southeners take
since Mr.. Hayes Inauguration and
we feel assured all such must dep
recate the recent proceedings in
Louisiana. The President and Cab
met have evidently determined to
interpose their power between the
convicted and their prosecutors, and
there is no doubt that such action is
what the rampant covet as a
means OF creating further agitation,
not only now but till after the cleo
tons in 1880. There is a deep laid
plan in all this action but we hope it
may "gangagles." = JUNIUs.
Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1878-02-21

The idea that the Republican party
is divided in consequence OF certain
peculiarities of President Hayes is a
mistaken notion. The President may
be little out Of his line in some
things. and he has his followers, but
the Republican party is unit on all
vital questions affecting the preserva-
ton OF the union and the property
Of the country. We do not hesitate to
say that it will live long after the men
have passed into oblivion who to-day
are shifting sail in order that they
may strike some popular lead and
slide into Office. No member OF the
Republican party from principle, has
carse to be ashamed of it to-day. Its
history is covered all'over with glory,
and the memory Of its great achieve
ments will live as long as time,

The Hard Times.

On all sides we hear the cry "hard
times" and people are DISCONTINUED
because OF stagnant business. Es-
pecialIy Is this the case with the
debtor class, and men who are una
BILE to meet their contracts are con-
trasting the present with the time
when greenbacks seemed almost as
plenty as ears Of corn. and are assert
ing that all our ills can be cured by
legislation.
While we have no sympathy with
the bullionists and contractionists,
and believe that wise legislation will
materially tighten the burdens the
people have to bear, we have no
faith that an unlimited issue Of
greenbacks would restore the
country to its former prosperity.
Our present condition is the legiti-
mate fruits of past extravaganza.
The tumult occasioned by the war
made business brisk and thousands
Of spectators were made rich as IL
by magic.
Then all sorts of wild enterprises
were undertaken, rotten railway
bonds were sold. the people became
wild with excitement, and honest
hard working farmers in the West
finding that their property had more
than doubled in value in a few short
years, and not content with doing
well, but believing that IL they had
few thousand dollars with which to
speculate, they could soon become
immensely wealthy, mortgaged their
farms, borrowed money, bought cat
tie and hogs, or something else at
figures, that in their calmer mo-
ments they would never have
thought of paying. and found within
flew months that instead OF making
they had lost hundreds of dollars
but human like they did not stop
but without wisdom battled against
fate until the mortgage became due
and the farm, the earnings OF years
was sold and the money went to the
lender in the East.
In this way and in hundreds o.
other ways which we have not space
to mention now, the money lenders
have been enriched and the produ
cling classes impoverished, until la
borers are out of employment ant

King Alcohol.

EuttOT hepuOHcdn:-
am temperance man. l believe
in temperance, practice it. and rec
comend it. to others. AS physician,
however, 1 pronounce against the
indiscriminate condemnation Of alco-
holic liquors by temperance fanatics.
According to these hair-brained in
dividuals, alchol in all its forms ought
to be swept from the face of the earth.
They cry poisonl poisonl One Of
their fayorite arguments which they
trot out on all occasions is this: Alco-
hol is poison, and when it is intro
duced into the system. all the excret-
ing organs set to work to remove it
as speedily as possible. This is true
only when it is taken in excess. The
same may be said OF water. Drink
too much water and the skin and kid.
neys Immediately begin the task Of
carrying off the surplus, IL the
stomach has not already done so by
the act Of vomiting. Again, they
advance the false theory that all slim
ulation is followed by correspond
ing depression. They should say all
excessive stimulation.
Any agent that only excites the
system up to par, so TO speak, is not
succeeded by a tagging OF the phys
zeal forces. This is what alcohol does
in therapeutic doses, and the same
may be said OF heat and oxygen.
The blood itself is an excitant as
we'll as food to all the tissues, and all
those exterior impressions which give
rise to instructive or automatic ac-
lions may be classed in the same
category. But does Alcohol add any
material or force to the system? This
is the all important and much-dis-
cussed question.
Let US look at its chemical consti-
tuition. 1t Is composed OF carbon,
hydrogen. and oxygen. Are not these
the very elements OF which the adipose
or fatty matters and albuminous sub
stances are composed? The old
theory has been that 1t simply retards
the metamorphosis OF tissue. posi-
lively assert that it adds new mater
ial to the tissues. and prove it by its
chemical composition.
But then they say, il you give it as
a medicine the patient acquires an
uncomfortable thirst for IL. / reply
that such an effect is only produced
by giving II in excess, and not In
medicinal doses. Experience and
observation justify this conclusion.
I lay down this rule for the admins
tration OF stimulents in disease: They
should not be given in doses suffic-
lent to quicken the pulse, flush the
face, or be felt to affect the head. II
this rule is strictly adhered to their
action will be beneficial In any wasting
disease such as consumption, low
fevers, dyspepsia, etc.
While we live temperate lives. let
us be temperate in our opinions and
not endeavor To consign to infamy
one of the most useful articles Of the
materia medica, il not the king Of
remedial agents.

The farce called the trial OF Gener-
al Thomas G. Anderson, one of the
members of the New Orleans Return
ing Board, has ended. and resulted in
what every body predicted would be
the result, in the conviction OF the
accused. The jury was organized to
convict, and had the verdict been
anything else the Democratic disap-
pointment would have been simply
unbearable. The fine Italian band OF
the late Samuel J. Tilden can be
traced throughout the entire proceed

position of Secretary of the Navy by
President Hayes when he was form

always been on intimate terms at the
