Several weeks ago the Republican
Central Committee Of this county
challenged the Democratic Committee
to have DUNCAN and Paine debate, but
the Democratic Committee refused.
Mr.. Paine last week publicly chal-

he does not respond. Has DUNCAN
the ''bowel complaint" or the ''beller

We regret to see that the Columbus
Democrat is no better than the small
er fry Democratic papers, and does
not hesitate to tell lie, when it has
to serve its masters, the Southern
murderers. 1t says:

Judge Chisholm in Mississippi was acquitted.
They insist that he ought to have been hung
The man who killed Chisholm is dead. He
himself was assassinated.
When the Democrat published the
above it knew that it was publishing
a lie. Gully was ON trial for murder
ing Cornelia Chisholm. 1t was the
most brutal murder ever committed
ON the American continent, not ex-
cepting the murders committed by
the Indian savages in the earlier.set-
tlement Of this country. Gully was
proven guilty, beyond any possible
doubt. So says Hon. Stewart L.
Woodford of New York, who was
present at the trial; and yet every
Democrat IN Ohio rejoices at the ac-
quittal Of the foul murderer.

DEATH OF ZACH CHANDLER.

The whole country was startled on
Saturday by the announcement of the
death of Hon. Zach Chandler, United
States Senator from Michigan. Sena-
tor Chandler was conspicuous as an
able leader in the Republican party
since its accession to power in 1851
and as one of the most uncompromis-
ing patriots during the late war, Wig
oreus in his denunciations of disloyal-
ty wherever found, and earnest in his
advocacy of the principles of the Re-
publican party. Under Gen. Grants
administration Chandler was Secre-
tary of the Interior during a portion
of the time, and he was for some years
chairman of the National Republican
Committee. Last winter he was
elected to the United States Senate
aud has since been recognized as a
leading stalwart. He has been active
" engaged in the political canvass Just
closed, delivering his last speech at
Chicago last Friday night, and was
found dead in his bed ON Saturday
morning. The loss of Michigan
stalwart Senator viii be a serious one
to TIE party whose champion he was,
and will be regretted by Republicans
everywhere.

The total above given for the State
is SIG, 368,7Sl less than the value fixed
by the local assessors in 1878, and
$32, 668, 616 more than is shown by the
aggregate local assessment of 1879,
from which it will be seen that the
local assessment of 1879 falls $40, 037,-
397 below that of 1878; these figures
are significant as also showing that as
SCISSORS have very generally concluded
to pay no attention to the decision OF
the Supreme Court upon the statutory
rule by which assessors are presumed
to be governed in the discharged of
their official duties. The value of tax
able property in Pierce county as de-
termined by local assessors for 1879
exceeds the amount fixed by the State
Board of assessment for the same year,
$15,668.
The amount charged against this
county for the maintenance of in
mates of the State Hospital for the In
sane during the fiscal year ending
September 30th, 1879, is 81 ,366.34, and
for the support of an inmate of the
Industrial School for Boys, $50.
The total amount levied in the State
in 1878 as State, county, county school,
town, school district and road district
taxes was $s7,969,8 $50, a decrease of
SOL, 100 as compared with that of the
previous year.
The total Indebtedness of the sever
al towns. cities, villages and school dis
tricts in the State on the first day of
January last was 81, ,67l.40, over
three millions of which was incurred
in aid of railways. The Indebtedness
of counties, exclusive of that of towns,
ETC., at the same time was 81, $40, $780,
70, over million and half of which
is for railroad aid.
The area of the leading cereals
grown in the State the present year is
reported as follows: Wheat, 1,775,-
665 acres; corn, 905,539 acres; oats,
870,976 acres; barley, 1S5,376 acres;
rye, 1895 acres; a decrease in the
acreage of each, except barley, as COM
pared with that reported for 1873.
Nearly nine thousand dollars are re-
quired to pay the demands on the
State treasury of the different agri-
cultural societies of the State, each
year.
The number of marriages, births,
and deaths reported at the Office of the
Secretary of State for the year ending
December 3lst, 1873, is as follows:
Marriages, 9,S46; births, 3,0l6; deaths.
$500. 1t is evident that of the births
and deaths many are not reported ow-
ing to fragrant disregard of the law
requiring such reports.
There are reported, in the State, sol
deaf and dumb persons, 3l6 blind, 1888
insane, 382 idiotic. The numbers
here given do not include those who
are inmates of the different State char
liable institutions.

2. MUSIC.

That the time will come when mu-
sic will be taught in every country
school, as it now is most city schools,
can hardly be disputed. While draw
ing is the art that most helps man
financially, 50 musical education or
a smattering, yields the largest return
of pleasure, for the least outlay, and
few are incapable of becoming able to
give pleasure to others, as well as
themselves, if their practice and edu-
cation is begun early in life. Without
urging the point with much vigor, as
other things seem to demand place
first. 4 dozen teachers have done
something. We believe the number
is larger, however, from carelessness
in reporting, and will add names omit
ted on receipt Of same. Let the leav-
en- work into all the hundred schools

II is barely possibly that some may
think the advice given in this column
to place pupils, as rule, at the open
ing ola term, where they ceased work,
as superficial, and look down on us
from their thoroughness hobby.
What are the factst
You cannot have a pupil thorough
and disgusted and discouraged at the
same time. The interested pupil is
apt to be thorough. He is more inter
ested in a new topic. Pupils who
have, for instance, ''gone over" to
percentage five times, know less of
compound numbers than those who,
IN that five years, have finished the
book, and reviewed it. Besides, those
who do this, usually berate their pred
ecessor as a sham, thus, Indirectly,
boasting. But the whole is transpar-
ent. Is it proper for a boy Is years
old to know the history to the revolu-
ton, quite well, and nothing later!
Increased interest is the strongest and
central reason for the progressive plan.
In fact, what educator of note ever
thought of any other. A certain gen.
eral was accustomed to close his bat
tie reports with ''The army is safe in
their intrenchments. So the weak
teacher intrenches himself every term
in addition, and whenever danger
Gus set of examples is met, he returns
there for safety. He makes few
in the land of ideas.

HISTORY OF THE U. S. FLAG.
COMPILED BY AMOS ROsENBERGER


COMPILED BY AMOS ROsENBERGER,
MAIDEN ROCK.
"a single rattle will give no sound
alone, but the ringing of the thirteen
together is Sufficient to stsrtle the
bol dest man alive. She is beautiful
IN youth. which increaseth with her
age. Her tongue is forked as the
lightning, and her abode is among the
impenetrable rocks.
The next form of the United States
Flag was the Stars and Stripes. It's
proportions are perfect, when properly
made, the first and last stripe being
red with alternate stripes of white.
The blue field, for the stars, is the
square of the width of seven stripes.
On the 4th of June, 1877, the CONT
mental Congress resolved, 'That the
flag of the United States be- thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white, and
that the Union be thirteen white
stars on blue field, representing a
new Constellation. Previous to this
our national banner was the Union
flag, combining the crosses of st.
George and st. Andrew.
TIE Stars and Stripes were unfurled
for the first time at the battle of Sar-
atoga, on the occasion of the surren-
der IF Gen. RurgOyne.
The Stars of the flag represent the
idea taken from the Constellation
Lyra, which signifies harmony. The
blue of the field was taken from the
banner of the Covenanters of Scotland,
likewise significant of the league and
covenant of the United Colonies
against oppression, and incidentally
involving vigilance, perseverance, and
Justice. The stars were disposed in a
circle, symbolizing the perpetuity OF
the Union, the circle being the sign
of eternity. Both the thirteen stripes
and the stars showed the number OF
United Colonies, and denoted the
| subordination of the States to, and
their dependence upon the Union, as
well as equality among themselves.
The whole was blending of the pre-
vious banners. namely, the red flag OF
army and white one of the navy.
The red color, which in the day Of
the Roman glory was the signal of de
| lance, denoted daring, and the white
purity.
On the 18th of January, 1874. by an
act of Congress, the flag was altered
to fifteen red and white stripes, and
fifteen stars. On the 4th of April
1918, Congress again altered the flag
by returning to the original thirteen
stripes and fifteen stars, as the adding
of new stripe for each additional
State would soon make the flag too I'M
wieIdy. The mex star is added to the
nag on the 4th Of July following the
! admission of the State into the Union

Wisconsin Taken From the
List OF Doubtful States BY
10000 Majority!
MINNESOTA REMAINS FIRM!
A Good Days Work!
Victory all Along the Line!

The result of Tuesdays elections is
a source of qualification to all who be-
lieve in the perpetuation of the gov
eminent upon those broad and liberal
principles which recognize the equali-
ty of all. 1t is a well merited rebuke
to the Democratic party who by its
representatives i'll the councils of the
nation would deprive the United States
of the power to preserve their unity.
The victory of the Republican party at
the November elections has Deen a
glorious one and should remind those
brigadiers who represent solid South
in the halls Of Congress that they may
be met and finally vanquished by a
solid North.
The figures now at hand from New
York give Cornell a plurality of about
$4,000 which may be increased to
Is, 600 or lessened to 10000. The DEM
ocratic State ticket, other than Gov
ernor Robinson, is thought to be elect
ed by 900 majority. Both branches
of the legislature are Republican.
Returns from Massachusetts, indi-
cate that Long, Republican. candidate
for governor, is elected by from l0,-
600 to IL. 900 plurality, and this may
be increased to $4,000 by further re-
turns. The Republican candidates for
State officers are probably all elected,
and the legislature will be largely Re-
publican. The votes show material
falling off as compared with last year.
The prohibition vote amounted to lit
tie, and the straight Democratic ticket
received but small support.
Returns thus far received indicate
the election of the Republican ticket
in Wisconsin by majority of 10000
Milwaukee, the home of jenkins, goes
Republican by 1000; Madison goes
Republican and it affords us pleasure
to state that Hon. II. B. Warner leads
the ticket in the capitol city.
