shaII the Law be ENFORCED?

No one need be told through these
columns or elsewhere, that disregard fol
the penal law of our State or our munich
pality are daily violated with impunity,
as it were. The fact that tits so is la
mentable truth that cannot have es-
capped the observation of the most casual
observer Why is this 50?
The fault perhaps lies partially in the
fact that good men, who themselves are
observant of and keep all of the require
ments of law, are apparently Indifferent
to the violations of law by those who
are disloyal to the principles and enact
ments that are designed to protect the
morals and the purity of social moral
and christian society for all alike.
The law-making power under our
system of government emanates from
the people, and the power to enforce the
laws rests with the people as well, and
if the laws are not enforced at all, or
with that promptness and certainty
that the best interest of our social sys-
tenn demands, who but we, the people,
are at fault? The power to enforce as
well as to enact laws, is with the people,
and are they not criminally at fault if
they fail to take the necessary steps to en-
force thelaws wisely enacted for thepu
poses we have referred to above?
The Woman's Christian Union Of this
State propose to take preliminary steps
to secure obedience to law, and to en-
force its provisions wherever that mode
Is necessary to secure obedience to law,
and maintain good order throughoutour
State, and we respectfully call the at
,ention of the readers of the HERALD to
he plan proposed by the Union, which |
will be found in another column under |
he head of claw and Order"

There are two thousand stores in
Ohio dealing in farm implements. Sup
pose each store disposed of six Hess
Mills per annum, it would amount to
$4,000 mills yearly, and If there was a
net profit Of $40 permill it would surely
pay to manufacture and place this valu-
able mill on the market.

HoS. j, A. BENTLEY, Commissioner
Of Pensions says; 'In the commence
ment Of the rebellion there were only
s,0S6 pensioners, requiring a little more
than 100000 annually for their pay
ment. On the 3Oth Of June last, there
were 2i4,5is pensions, requiring annu-
ally for their payment $50, 900, ,OOO."
The necessity for this vast annual
payment Is the consequence Of the re-
bellion, and the rebellion had its origin
In the disloyal element in the Demo-
cratic party, a party that failed to put
iis foot upon the neck Of the rebellion
and crush it out when Il had the power
20 do so without the necessity Of four
years bloody war 70 save the life Of the
government. This being fact that cam
not beisuccessfully c0ntroverted &c needs
no argument 70 show that the RESPONSE
bility Tor losses Of life and the immense
suffering resulting from the war and
the necessity for paying millions Of
pension money rests upon the Demo-
cratic party, party that ask the peo-
pie Of this country 70 place them again
IN control Of the government that their |
leaders soughtfo destroy, and that too, |
giving evidence Of repentance |

A BROKEN STRING.

Sing, and to you! No no-with one not,
Jared
The harmony of life's long chord is broken
Your words were light and by light lips were
spoken,
And yet the music that you loved is marred
One string, my friend, is dumb beneath !. oui
hand;
Strike and it throbs and vibrates at youl
will,
Falters upon the verge of sound, and still
Falls back as sea waves shattered on the
strand.
Touch it no more, for you shall not regain
The sweet lost tone. Take what is left, OF
let
Life's music sleep to death. Let us forget
The perfect melody we seek in vain:
And yet, perchance, some day before we die,
As half in dreams we hear the night wind
sweep
Around our windows, when we fain would
sleep.
Laden with one long sobbing, moaning cry,
One faint. far tone will waken, and will rise
Above the great wave voice of mortal pain 4;
Hand will touch hand and lips touch lips
again.
As in the darkness it recedes and dies;
Or lingering in the summer evening glow
Then, when the passion of the crimson west
Burning like some great heart that can not
rest,
Stains as with blood the waters as they flow
Some old forgotten tones may rise and wake
Our dying youth, and set our hearts atiame

Another Spook.

From the Torc IIaute Express
And now the currency of Turkey is
added 10 the catalogue Of paper money
scare-crOws to frighten Greenbackers.
The bullion organs presume great deal
upon the ignorance and gullibility OF
their readers, or else they are themselves
ignorant Of the simplest principles of
monetary science.
The excessive issue of Turkish paper
is not and never was legal tender, but
promises to pay coin, which it is out OF
the question to procure, and now that the
Turkish government refuses to receive it,
and demands all OF its revenues to be paid
in gold, why should its paper not become
worthless?
The Turkish Empire is the whole world
to its paper currency. When the gov
ernment that creates or authorizes the
creation of paper money, possessing no
value except that which the law imparts
to it, degrades, demonetizes and refuses
to recognize his own child, it Of necessity
falls into disrepute and becomes worthless,
Just the same as gold and silver would il
all the governments which now recognize
them as money should demonetize them.
These metals would sink to their commod-
ity value, which would be less per pound
than the blank paper which forms the
material OF the Turkish deprecated cur
rency.
Had the Turkish government made its
pap n legal tender, and continued to re-
ceive it for revenues and all its dues, it
would have been at par still.
But Turkey, like other foolish nations,
instead of defraying its expenses by the
use of its own legal tender credit tokens,
borrowed of other nations, gave its gold
bonds, and now to meet accumulating in
terest, it is compelled to disown and dis
card its own child, and adopt a stranger
and an alien, while its own dies Of neglect
and deserton.

FARMERS. ATTENTION,

We suggest to our readers that COM
mittees be appointed in each state to pre-
pare full statement of the financial con-
dition Of the agricultural interests of their
respective states, to be submitted and
adopted by the farmers at their state fairs
this fall. These reports should embrace
the general Indebtedness, interests and
tax burdens, and the average profits of
farm investments after deducting cost of
production, interest and taxation, also
the average net profits of farming now,
compared with the specie payment and
par paper periods before the war, with
such suggestions for congressional relief
as may be claimed effective and practic-
able. After which, these reports should be
forwarded to Hon. H. B. Wright, WASH
ington, D. c., to aid the committee in
making a careful and impartial report.

A Yellow Fever Romance.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
Last year when the epidemic was rag.
ing in Memphis, among the Cincinnati
physicians who rendered their services and
lives to Health officer Minor was young
DR.. Collins, of this city, an unusually
bright and intellectual man, who was
makinga precarious living at his practice,
not through lack of ability, for of that
he had abundance, but from the lack OF
patients,
His services, together with those of five
Others, were accepted, and on certain
evening they all went to the Ohio and
Mississippi Railroad depot to take the
$3.50 train for the South Young Collins,
in taking leave of the Health officers,
who had gone down to see the little band
off, said: doctor, | will either make a
reputation in Memphis or never come
home again" He arrived in that city,
and reporting to the Howard Association
for duty, was given an assignment in a
part of the town where the disease was
carrying people off by the scores.
Among others that he attended was the
family of a wealthy planter. He was sue
CcsSlul Ill bringing HIS CulluIcn tHIuuEH
the sickness, one OF whom was a beautiful
young lady.
Within short time the Doctor himself,
worn down by unceasing labor, was smit-
ten with the scourge, and lay tossing fe.
verishly in his small room. The young
lady, hearing of the circumstance, went
to the house and nursed him tenderly
through his illness.
1t is almost needless to say that by tkis
time the youthful pair became mutually
attached, proposal and acceptance fol-
lowed, to which consent was unhestating.
ly given by the parents. They were after
ward married. the father investing his
son-in.law with handsome interest in
his plantation. DR.. Collins is now one of
the rising young physicians of Memphis,
and is the efficient Secretary of its Board
of Health.

Our Great Need,

The people must be educated. As soon
as this occurs the greenback labor party
will succeed, and not till then, and 1t new
er ought, for what would be the use in put.
tingin men to make laws who are igno-
rant of the very vital question at issue.
The fact is we have had our laws made by
men who are densely ignorant, or who will
fully intended to deceive the people, too
long already, so we should only be lump
ing from the frying-pan into the fire" if
we put in men who are uneducated to the
wants of the people. This can only be
done, through the press and on
the platform, and through club organ
izations. Not wait for large mum
Der to organize, but commence with half
a dozen, or even three or four, and meet,
talk, argue, read, get your neighbors to
read, and the organization will grow.
Time and tide waits for no man, and
1880 will soon be here aud another great
battle is to be fought by ballots, and if we
are successful it must be through intelli.
gence. lfyou can, subscribe for paper;
if not buy one, read it, lend it TO your
neighbor and get him interested and the
result will be the triumph OF right over
wrong. The people will govern instead Of
the Sbylockian money power.
