United States Senators were elected in
several States last week. Don Cameron
in Pennsylvania, O. II. Platt in Conn,
Gen. Logan in Illinois, Roscoe Conkling

To the Edi tor of the Standard:
Once more we sharpen our pencil and
sit down to have a little talG with your
many readers, for we see you are very
busy at work, trying to make a living.
Yes, we all must work, Or bread will not
come to sustain us. How many there are
who think if they had nothing to do how
happy they would be. How very much
mistaken they are. Let them try it for
while, and they would soon realize that
| it is far better to wear out, than to rust
out. Every one ought to have some
kind of useful employment; if they do
not, and let the canker of discomfort get
in their minds, they will suffer far more
than they would from honest toll in
some labor of love and duty.
Well, here we are in midwinter, with
plenty of snow, and such jolly times that
both old and young forget the sterner
duties of life, and take to sport, as duck
does to water. We have had good sleigh
ing for over six weeks, and today was
the first day it has thawed enough to
make the caves of houses drip.
We had big fire here in Leon New
Years night; Is store houses were laid
in ashes. Most of the goods were saved.
The part of the town that burned was
old, and was not much of a loss. 1t will
be rebuilt with good brick buildings next
year. The thermometer was 900 below
! 0, when the fire occurred, and about half
that were at the fire got either feet,
hands or ears frozen, some badly. The
coldest days were the End and 3rd of the
new year. The mercury was 260 below
| zero on the Sd. I tell you it was chilly
then.
I wonder how the mongrels feel, now,

The Democrats that welded this party
for power want to get loose from them,

A bill has been introduced into the
Ohio Legislature, for local option. That
is, that each township, or election dis
trict, may by vote decide whether intoxi
eating liquors shall be sold therein. Mr..
Paine will send us the bill, and we will
publish it, and make some comment
upon it. We have no idea, however,
that such bill will pass this Legislature.
One of our exchanges says:
The temperance people of the State
continue to pour their demands into the
Legislature for stringent laws in refer
ence to the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating liquors. So far the petitions
in question have had no more effect on
legislators than so much water on
. uck's back, and it begins to look as if
attention whatever would be given

We do not want to be captious, or to
beIfnding fault with our neighbors, or to
be making charges against our political
opponents, but during the past year
there has been an amount of lying, and
political persecution going on IN this
place, that must be fully ventilated be-
fore another election. The raid against
Auditor Patterson has been so malicious,
and so costly to the taxpayers of the
county, that the men, and the party: en-
gagged in this dirty work, must be fully
exposed. That task we will reserve for
q future occasion.

We believe we never knew the people
Of the entire country so fully aroused to
the enormity of the liquor curse as they
are at the present time. We indorse the
following. by a correspondent of the N.
Y. Tribune:
"If Congress deems it expedient to ap-
point a committee to go South and inVes-
tigate the reported election frauds; if it
considers that the yellow fever scourge
justifies the appointment of a commits
sion to examine into the cause and pre-
yention of such an epidemic, why should
not the Legislature of any State in the
Union provide for an investigation of the
liquor traffic2 Will you not suggest that
committee be appointed whose duty it
shall be to report the number of saloons
and drugstore saloons how much mon
ey has been expended in the traffic; how
many deaths have been caused by its use;
how many wives have been made wild
ows; how many orphans left; how many

and justice demand for humanity. The
eyes of the public would then be opened
to the great question now before the men
and women OF the Nation for an intelli-
gent readjustment of all matters connec-
ted with the liquor traffic.
Firmly believing such an investiga-
ton in the end would be the means of
saving our people 80 per cent in taxation,
and of largely increasing the values of

doubling the rate Of increase of the
wealth of our entire Nation, L present

"FINED FOR THEIR FOLLY.


Most of the journals speak pretty
harshly of the twenty-four Princeton stu
dents who were arrested and fined in
Trenton on Saturday night for rowdyism.
If we do not comment in precisely the
same tone upon this piece of youthful
indiscretion, it is because we know how
easily young men are betrayed by oppor-
tunity into acts of folly, and because,
moreover, kindly remonstrance in such
cases may do more good than harsh re-
proof We are sorry to hear this story
of Princeton, partly because we thought
that the demon of misbehavior had been
allayed there by certain unfortunate
events, which have not yet passed from
the public memory. We were not alto
gether correct, it appears, in this view.
But we do not see how we can be other
wise than correct in our conclusion that
here are twenty-four young men who do
not adequately appreciate their advanta-
ges, or sufficiently comprehend the diff
ference between sensible and idiotic con-
duct. 1t is not entirely consolatory to
be told that there will always be in every
large collection of young men, some who
are not remarkable for wisdom. Human
infrmities are not the less lamentable
because they are so general. Nor does it
make the matter mucn DoGtef TO say tnaL
it was a mistake to send these lads to
college at all. 1t is sad to think that in
this country there are hundreds of poor
youths who would think it blessing for
which they could not be too thankful to
Divine Providence, if only they could be
permitted to study in the well endowed
and learned halls of Princeton. 1t does
seem hard that such chances should be
vouchsafed to the giddy and reckless and
indolent, and denied so often to the so.
ber and painstaking and industrious.
"The magistrate at Trenton warned
these young men that if they were again
brought before him charged with repe-
tition of their offence, he must send them
to prison for thirty days. A month in
Jail without any wine or bad spirits or
pipes or cigars would be worse than early
prayers and recitation and lecture, to say
nothing of the loss of character which
the punishment would involve. 1t would
probably be followed. or ought to be, by
expulsion from college, and what that
would probably be followed by, we need
not say. If these boys think it best to
abandon the prospects of lifetime for
the sake of drunken lark, one can only
bewail their infatuation, and pity the
homes to which they will bring mortif-
cation and sorrow"

John Hopley has at last been removed
from the Postofice at Bucyrus. One of

from the Postothce at Bucyrus. One OF
the Civil Service reform papers says:
Hopley, of the Bucyrus Journal, held
the Postoffice at that village for eight
years, and last week his successor was
appointed by the President and confirm
ed by the Senate. Hopley, in some way,
got it into his head that he was to have
life lease of the Office, and is mad about
his i'll success in securing reappoint-
ment. While there are so many patriots
willing to serve their country in an off
cial capacity, eight years of service ought
to crafty the ambition of an ordinary
man.
Hopley was an excellent officer, and
came fully up to the kind Of man that
Hayes spoke of IN his letter of accept
ance, where he says that all such officers
should feel secure, and should not be re-
moved. Perhaps by this time Mr.. Hop
ley has got it through his wool that
Hayes is sham and fraud.

We present this morning, in the course
of turning Cincinnati inside out, another
phase Of life in this great city, which is
worthy OF grave consideration. The ex-
tent of the retail liquor traffic WILL no
doubt, surprise most people and startle
