Be Loyal to Your Local PAPER.

We know of no improperly less
justitiable than the ceaseless finding
fault with ones local paper. We do
not propose discussing the difficulties
under which newspaper is prepared,
nor do We intend to lay down rules by
which one may judge whether or not
a paper is worth the patronage of it's
constituents. One thing is certain:
The world would be dreadful dreary
place were the local newspapers sud-
denly to die The American people,
we verify believe, would become wild
if all the newspapers should cease
publication for a twelve month. There
are many thousand newspapers in the
land. but by no means as many as
there shall be fifty years hence. Tie
damp, fresh sheet laid daily or weekly
at your door, gives you the world in
miniature. You read its comely col
umns, and feel the pulsations of the
mighty mass ofhumanity and become
en- rapport with all it's movements.
Some people are too prone to depreci-
ate their own local papers and magni-
fy the merits of out-of-town newspa-
pers. AS rule the local newspaper
is as good as the community in which
it is published will support. Occa-
sionally we find cities and villages
which are not properly taken care of
by their papers, but in this day of
fierce competition, there are those
always standing ready with the re-
quisite brains capital to fill wants
''long felt" and if the people will sub
scribe and pay for paper, they can
always be accommodated with prime
article. We do not respect a person
who either himself speaks or permits
others to speak slightingly of local
newspaper. Citizens have a slight
obligation in this matter as well as
publishers. 1t is their duty to be 10y
al to the press. and to sustain it in all
that it docs which is not prejudicial
to the best interests of the communi-
ty.-Nc,r FORK Times

Party DISCIPLINE.

In thorough organization Of forces
only can party hope for success in
a political contest; and strict disci-
pline is as essential to it's continued
existence as organization to its sue
cess. When party is organized
its committees appointed and its
standard bearers chosen, the rank and
file should never swerve from the posi-
tions assigned them in the battle to
be fought. Every man should hold
himself ready to execute the plans
that are adopted by the committees
for conducting the campaign, for on
ly by so doing can victory be hope
for. All personal prejudices as to men
should be smothered, and principle,
and success upon principle, should be
the guiding star by night and the
cloud pillar by day for all their move
ments. Men and parties may secure
temporary triumph by scheming and
trickery but no lasting existence and
continued, success can ever be attain
ed and secured, except by thorough
organization and the most rigid en-
forcement of, and acquiescence in dis
cipline. The prompt discharge of no
duty is, nor should be, however, ex-
pected of any member of the party, if
the duty required be tainted in the
least with dishonor; and no man, who
ever he may be, should be chosen to
an executive position upon any com
mittee who is not known to be fully
competent to the position which it is
intended he should occupy.
Greenbackers, if we would be sue
cessful in the campaign of 1880, we
should organize at once and continue
our organization in its every feature,
not only for the campaigns in the i'm.
mediate prospective, but for all time.
The young men who are now coming
to their maiorities should post them
selves in the history of parties in the
past-study well the questions now
agitating the public mind-give their
thoughts to the solution of such polit-
ical problems as may arise from time
to time in the course of events, and
prepare to assume the control of the
affairs of the Republic, bearing in
mind always, that the price oflibelty,
State and individual rights, is etern-
al vigilance. Love of country-re-
spect for the rights of man, and de-
sire for the continuance and perpetu-
alton of the institutions of government
bequeathed to us by the founders of
the Republic, should be the CONTROL
ing thoughts in all our political ac-
ton. A disregard Of these, and a
lack of vigilance in the organization
of the party will bring ruin to govern
ment and people.

Advices from Pennsylvania give
accounts of an accident to another
Congressman, Representative ]. ].
Mitchell, whose horse ran away with
him throwing him from his carriage,
spraining his ankle and bruising him
otherwise to such an extent that he
has been obliged to withdraw from
the active campaign he was conduct
ing in his district. Congressman are
unfortunate this vacation it seems.
Senator Blaine's similar accident
laid him by for q time, but it eeeurr-
ed so early in the summer that he is
now on his feet again and hard at
work. Alexander III. Stephens, too,
has so overworked himself in his
weak old age that he has of necessity
given up the canvassing into which
lie threw himself with such vigor and
earnestness, and it is doubtful if he
ever gets back the strength with
which he started out this season.

The ScOurge.

The yellow fever not only contin-
ues TO rage in the towns hitherto af-
aicted, but is spreading and commit
ing sad havoc in the country where
it is sparselv settled. Distressing
cries for succor come from the afflict-
ed districts. Cardinal McCloskey
has sent $4,000 to the Cathedral Re-
lief Association at New Orleans. The
people Of the Southwest will have
to depend largely upon the genero<i-
ty of their northern brethren as long
as the ravages of the scourge coutiu-
ue.

What Harmeth it to Know How?

The Book of Books says to all the
sons and daughters of Adams fallen
race, "thou shalt not kill, thou shalt
not steal, thou shalt not commit
adultery, thou shalt not bear witness
against thy neighbor," &c. Now,
these are positive commands, admit
ting of no exceptions or qualifica-
tions, but the command is, that we
shall not do so. 1t is true the COM
mand reacheth to all time, to all
places and to all circumstances and
conditions, but what harmeth it for
us 10 learn, nay to know, how to do
all these things when the occasion
arises or the temptation Is upon us to
do it? If we don't learn how we
can't know how to do them, and as
consequence, can't do them, or at
least not in way SO scientific and
effective. Well, the present genera
ton has not had enough of war.
There are not enough bleeding hearts
not enough mourners around our
hearthstones to satiate the christian
appetite for blood and desolation. 1t
is not christian enough to soothe and
bind up the broken hearted and cause
the woes and tears Of the past to be
forgotten and dried up, but we must
lacerate the wounds afresh. Let the
weeping and disconsolate mother see
afrcsh how her loved son was man

Secretary Sherman's debt state
ment for September shows a reduc-
tion for the month of about $3,000,-
600. The amount of the bonded or
interest bearing debt has not chang
ed materially. In the meantime,
sums found by the accounting Off
GERS to be due by the Government to
our citizens from day to day are not
paid, and do not appear in the state
ment, but wait for an appropriation
by Congress for their payment. The
statement Of the Secretary is fraudu-
lent to just the amount of these as
certained obligations. The Secreta-
~ carefully counts as part of the
debt the bonds issued by him, but if
John Smith or Joe Jones is found, on
examination of the law and the books,
to be entitled, for services rendered
two years or more ago, to ten, a hun
dred or a thousand dollars, no note
is made of that. The only fair and
honest statement of the debt would
be one that would show the liabilities
Of the Government, and we have not
had such statement since Sherman
became Secretary.

From late reports the Republicans
seem to have carried Colorado. 1t is
the first result favorable to them in
all the Fall elections, and the pecu-
liar position of Colorado gives little
significance to it. The influences
which have been and must be detri-
mental to the party in other States
which it controls are felt but little in
new, remote, mining State like Col
orado.

Washington's labor agitator, a
would-be Kearney, has visited the
White House and interviewed Presi-
dent Hayes, coming from his pres
ence Gas does every visitor) with a
self-satisfied, self-approving feeling.
Mr.. Hayes has the faculty of putting
all who talk with them in the extrem-
est good humor with both himself
and themselves. The President told
Cohen that he recognized the rights
of the laboring men and would do
what he could to the end of benefit
ing them, and so sent the tramp (for
this Cohen is scarcely more than
that) from his presence with sense
of the Presidents approval of his dis
graceful actions.

GOOD ENOUGH.

The elections in West Virginia,
Ohio, Indiana and Iowa passed off
quietly. The elections in all these
States have resulted as favorably to
the Democrats and Greenbackers as
could be expected.
West Virginia has come up nobly
in the fight and has elected good, SOL
id Greenback Democrats to Congress
in each of the three districts in the
States. From all parts of the State
we have cheering news for Democrats
and Greenbackers, and the hard mon
ey Republicans and bonded aristoc-
racy have been completely and over
whelmingly defeated.
In Ohio the Democrats gain one
congressman, though the State tick
ct has gone Republican as usual.
Iowa is Republican as usual. We
have not sufficient returns from In
diana to indicate how that State has
gone, but we have TO doubt but the
Democrats and Greenbackers have
held their own.

The President is convinced "that
the advocates Of honest money are
gaining ground steadily" The Pres
ident is right. Advocates of bank
money are growing day by day more
scarce. Everybody, seemingly, saw

made a legal tender for taxes, inter
changeable with bonds, and issued
directly to the people.
