The Secretary of the Treasury has COM
pIeted all his arrangements for supplying
the United States depository banks with
standard silver .dttElars. He has also, as
previously stated, sent to the National
banks throughout the country instruc-
tions as to how they ,eaaa obtain the coin
from the depository banks, together with
list of the banks aud their locations
For the future there can be aS good rel-

The question.

Shall we regain the next House of Rep
regentatives? This is the vital question.
We shall surely do it if Republicans stick
to the party and work with will. But
we stall fail if our friends follow every
e'wilI-0-the-w -wisp'' that starts up with
brilliant political promises. The hope OF
the nation is in the complete supremacy
and continued ascendancy of the Repub-
lican PARTY. The sooner this is under
stood the Better it will be for the pros
perity for aaa.-lNslo Republic.

General Sheridan has discovered that
the "Medicine Men" among the Navajo
Indians tie their patients to trees, in some
cases, and shoot stones into their bodies
to cure them. The shooting however,
generally had exactly the opposite effect,
and the soldiers who discovered the doc
tors at their work put stop to their treat
ment and asked the doctors what they had
to say. The ''Medicine Men" replied that
they had been taught the practice by a
neighboring tribe, but that they had lost
some of the medicine that should go on
the stones, so that it "didn't work very
we'll" A number of other doctors
were accused, and some of them admit
ted that they had killed good many pa
tients in that way; but, being only ''In-
dians, not taxed" they were let off on
promising to abandon the practice.

departure from this field of operation he
has built, equipped and has now in sue
cessful operation fifty-six miles of road,
and twelve more will be open to the pub
lie by the first day of August, and this
without money. Geo. D. Chapman, of
Columbus, has succeeded in completing
and equipping road ninety miles in
length-from Columbus to Portsmouth
having undertaken it without means; !;
and from first to last he did not receive,
from all sources, more than half the
money that has been consumed in the D.

pacity for adapting means to ends. Now
if these gentlemen, who, without money,
can accomplish such results, why can't
our chief head with his financial strength
and backing, go on and complete the coal
road? It has so often been said of him
that he could command money, and was
made President on that ground, that we
naturally expect something from him.

Attention Veterans.

The people of the great State of Ohio
had kindly provided home for the chill
dren of those of her gallant sons who
went to the rescue of our Government
when traitors sought to destroy it, and
our Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home
was pointed to as one of the most substan-
tial evidences of the patriotism and kind
ness of a grateful people. But the same
spirit, in the same party that opposed its
establishment in the first place, found it
self in the ascendency in the Legislature
last winter, and an act known as the in
famous O'Connor law was passed, which
virtually wipes out the home thus pro-
vided for your children.
/. This law provides that none but the
children of men who died while in the
service, or who have since died of wounds
or of disease contracted while in the line
of duty of such service, shall be admitted
to said home, while the old law provides
that the children of all deceased, INDECENT
and permanently disabled soldiers and sail
ors should be received.
2. That no child can be received while
the mother is alive, under the age of II
years. Or, in other words, after the
mother has struggled along and support
ed her child until it is capable of assist
ing her in providing living for herself,
this law kindly proposes to take it off her
hands.
8. If man is so unfortunate as not to
be on the pension rolls of the Govern
ment, his children, no matter how poor
and destitute they may be, are excluded
from the Home by this cruel and outrage
Gus law.
4. No child will be admitted unless the
guardian or mother agrees to pay to the
Trustees the money received as pension
on account of the death of its father
That is, the State of Ohio will meanly
rob the poor widow of the little mite she
so much needs to buy bread for herself,
under the pretense of charity to her
child, after that child is old enough to
earn its own living .la#
Now remember, comrades, that this
outrage was conceived by the notorious
John O'Conner, who was not only a de-
| serter- and a bounty-jumper, but an ex-
penitentfary convict, and that it was
passed by the unanimous vote of the
Democratic members of the present Leg
islature at it's last session. In it you see
cropping out the same old Copperhead
spirit with which you had to contend at
every step during the war.
But we will give you the old law and
the new, that you may estimate this out
rage for yourselves, and determine wheth.
er you can trust your interests and the in
| terests of your children in such infamous.
| ly treacherous hands. We quote as much
of the two laws as bears upon the impor
| tant points alluded to above:

In the tn OF September issue of the

ton from party signing himself Dick

"that the common sense Of many OF

another COSaJirnaatorY Card.

Mr.. Henry Hsvemeyer, the intimate
personal friend Of Mr.. Tlden, to whom
some of the cipher dispatches were ad-
dressed. has published a brief card in the
Tribune, which, like those of Tilden and
Marble, is remarkable for the information
it omits to give. Mr.. Havemeyer says
he had no knowledge of the cipher or the
character or contents of the dispatches,
and explains bis connection in this way:
"During shols period Immediately alter the
late Presidential election, large number OF tel
egrSms were sent 20 my address for other persons,
and called for BY messenger. The practice was
commenced without my consent, and after few
days discontinued by my requirement. because
their frequency rendered them great annoyance.
Mr. Hsyemeyer had made a similar
statement to 3 reporter, and it was gener-
ally credited in New York, the belief be-
ing that his name and address were made
temporary use Of by the conspirstors.
His card, however, confirms several points.
First, he adu IS that "a large number of
kilograms" were sent to his address Just
after the election. Second, that they we're
secret messages, the contents Of which he
did not know, and intended for other per-
sons. Third, that for some reason this
extraordinary precsution was taken by the
real parties to the correspondence. Fourth,
that these dispatches were called for by
messengers. Fifth, that he did not like
the arrangement and required Its discou-
tinusnce But most significant Of al Is
the omission Of Mr. HaveLeyer to state
by whose instructions tire ciphers were
sent to his address, or who the 'osher per-
sons" were for whom they were intended
and who sent messengers" to bis house
to obtain them. Ii Is obvious that Mr..
Hsvemeyer would have at once disclosed
the pames if he had known that the cor
respondence was honorable, or that his
disclosure would help the desperate case
Of Tlden 4 Co. The inference Is that
Mr.. Hsvemeyer feels little indignant at
having his name used as q cover for such
rascslity, and that he sees the necessity
Of clearing his own skirts, but that ne has
been prevailed upon to say no more, be-
cause further explanation would add to the
distress Of his friend in Gramercy Park.
But eventually be will have to tell who
the parties were for whom be was acting
IS a"blind" in their secret correspondence.
HAvemeyer's card, reticent IS it Is, drives
several nails into Tilden's barrel"
