Jackson Standards: The way the Dem
Ocratic managers have been parading the
colored man around, has been sufficient
to cause feeling of uneasiness in the
Republican breast. There was colored
Democrat over at Athens, working for
the success of the Democratic ticket
Last fall there was one in jackson, cleo
tionering for the Democrats, and only
last week there was one made a speech in
the Democratic State Convention. We
hadfbegun to think this thing WAS getting
serious, when the thought struck us that
this was the same colored man at all these
places. The Democrats keep him as u
sort ofs''nest egg.'a Phey,lille TO show
him. I'd But he, ism t pretty, and he always
looks, at such places as though he was
ashamed of hiscompany. Its splendid
showing for the eolored race, that in all
the great State of Ohio, but one can be
fopndmean enough to appear in pnbl'c
/ asa Democrat.

CONSUMPTION of Timber,

We have now about GO, 900 miles of railroad;
the annual consumption for ties or ssepers
alone Is 10000 900, or thirty years growth of
$4,000 acres To fence these roads would re-
quire at least 100 600 miles of fence, which
would cost S45 100000 to build, at least SIS.
100000 annually TO keep in repair. We have
$4,000 miles of wire, which requires in Its put
ting up 800, 900 tees, while the annual repairs
must take 100000 more. The little, insiguifi-
cant lucifer match Consumes annually in its
msnufscture 100000 cubic feet of the finest
pine. The bricks that are annually baked re-
qulre 100000 cords of wood, which would
sweep the timber clean from $4,000 acres. Shoe
pegs are quite as imDortsut an article as
matches or bricks, and to make the required
annual supply consumes 100000 cords of due
timber, while the msuuf'ctu OF lasts and
boot-trees takes 100000 cords Of maple, beech
and birch, and about the same amount Is re-
ouirsd for plsne-stocks and the haudles Of
tools. The packing boxes made iu the United
States in 1874 amounted to $4,000, 900, while
the timber manufactured into agricultural ip-
plements, wagons, etc, IS more than $lOO,000,-
600. The farm and rural fences of the country
consume an immense amount OF lumber and
timber annually, but as we grow older as a
nation, this consumption may, and probably
will, be reduced by the more general use Of
live fences or hedges. Our consumption of
timber is 90. only on the Increase, but our ex-
poItatlon of timber Is also rapidly increasing.
Our slaves go by the million to France snnu-
ally, walnut, oak, maple and pine to England,
and spars and docking timber 10 China and

The cold snap down South is a serious
thing for both the growers and consumers of
early vegetables and small fruits. At Charles
ton, S. c., the cucumbers, tomatoes and
beans are almost entirely killed by the low
temperature, and strawberries, which are
just beginning to ripen, are badly damaged.
The potato crop also is seriously injured,
and the truck farmers around Charleston
estimate their losses by this freeze at fully
S25O,0O0. AT Norfolk, Va, and at other
Southern centres Of vegetable and fruit rails
ing similar damage has been done by the
cold, and the Southerners interested in the
early market business are decidedly blue over
the sudden disappearance of their prospec-
tive gains just as they were almost ready to
begin their shipments.

THERE has been revival of demand for
United States four per cent. bonds in Lon
don; the sale of sixty millions worth on Fri
day, at home, evidences the judgment of the
bankers that tie people will continue their
confidence in this investment. Both in Eng
land and in this country it is difficult to place
large sums on good security where a larger
rate of interest can be realized. The uncer-
tainty which prevails in Great Britain as to
the financial future is of an entirely different
character from that which obtains in this
country. There it is the doubt as to the re-
cuperation of manufactures and commerce; !;
the expenses of the wars on hand or that are
possible, have but slight effect upon the
British mind, from monetary point of view,
in comparison with the continuous shrink
age OF values; the unproftableness of the
great manufactures; the comparative idle
ness Of ships; the question of the deprecia-
ton of silver and the utter absence of any
theory even as to how matters are to be i'm
proved. Here, on the other hand, there is a
universal feeling that, taking the country at
large, we have seen the worst OF the hard
times, and that revival of trade is certain,
and not long to be delayed, unless by politi-
callegislation. to be supplemented by currency
legislation, all the fair promises of resump-
tion, good harvests, low prices and the needs
of an industrious people are to be swept
away by revolutionary, reckless and repudia-
ting action on the part of Congress. The
Democratic party blocks the way to prosperi-
ty; whether it shall permanently impede the
every interest of the country depends not,
and for this we caunot be too thankful, upon
this Congress, but upon the ultimate will OF
the people.

The Army BilI.

The Army bill has passed the House, as
everybody supposed it would, but the ma
jority in its favor is larger than was expected,
result due to the weakness of the Green
hackers, who after loudly proclaimirg that
they we're opposed in principle to the tacking
of political amendments to appropriation bills
voted almost to man for the clause forbid
ding the use of the army at the polls. No
body, however, who has watched their course
had reason to expect anything different.
They are weak lot, and all they have ac-
complished for their party since the session
began is to bring it into contempt and deri-
sion. Most of them are of Democratic ante
cedents, and they are gradually drifting back
into that party, and the sooner they get there
the better it will be for the country. Un-
doubtedly the result of the Army bill will
have the effect to strengthen the "weak-
kneed" Democrats, who were inclined to
yield something, so they are not likely to
give the ''stalwarts' of their party any fur
ther trouble.
The bill will still probably be some time in
reaching the President. 1T must go to the
Senate and will not be suffered to pass that
body without long debate. There is not
much to say. to be sure, that has not already
been well said, but the Republican Senators
will feel, undoubtedly, that it is due to them
selves and to their party to utter their pro-
tests against the attempt to surrender the
ballot box to the Democratic ruflians of the
South and the methods by which it is sought
to bring it about, and the Democratic Sena-
tors will be obliged to make some show at de-
tense of their policy.
The course of the President when the bill
reaches him is no longer matter of doubt.
That he will return it to tho House with bis
veto is certain. Then the Democrats will be
brought face TO face with the great issue
whether one branch of the Government has
the right to coerce another branch of the
Government; whether the President of the
United States is mere fgure-head or wheth-
er he is clothed by the Constitution with
powers which it is his right and duty to exer.
else and which no Congress can directly OF
indirectly abridge.
What the result of the contest will be as
regards this session of Congress is doubtful.
Whether Congress will adjourn without pro-
viding the necessary means for carrying on all
the departments of the Government or will
finally yield the future will tell. The deci-
sion of the people, however, is not in doubt.
The Republican position is impregnable and
when it is fully understood the North will be
solid in sustaining it. If it should be carried
one branch of the Governm ent, which the
Constitution intended should be independent,
would be reduced to condition of servitude
to, and dependence on, another.
