| We could not but think As we listened
TO Senator Thurman at Bellalre last satpr.
day, how much Of a reputation he could
have made for himself as q national states.
man had he employed his acknowledged
talents on the side Of the country during
the war and since. But dufing the war
he was arrayed against all the acts Of
Mr.. Lincoln's administration, from the
first call Of troops down to the enlist.
ment Of colored men as soldiers antl the
issuing Of the emancipation proclamation.
He allied himself with the men who met
at Columbus on the sth day Of January,
1851, and resolved to oppose the war,
and with the men who met at Chicago in
August 1885,, and resolved that the war was
afailure. He was always against the clun.
try. When Tod and Brough, Of Ohio,
and Dickinson and Dix, Of New York, and
Logan and Douglass, Of Illinois, and even
Cushing, Of Massachusetts,, ceased
to be partisan Democrats and be-
come American patriots, he still
refused to say word or DO an act for the
success Of the war. And since the war he
has steadily antagonized every measms Of
reconstruction, including the adoption Of
the amendments. II he could have pre-
vented It, not a slave would ever have
been emancipated, nor dollar Of govern
ment money been issued, nor bond sold,
nor man,put in the field, nor an appro-
priation voted, to preserve the Union.
And yet this man Is called statesman,
and would no doubt feel insulted II wit.
ten down, as he aetually was, an alder and
abetter Of the rebellion. He now wants
to be President Of the country that his in.
fuence would have dismembered had 1t
not been for the words and deeds oi the
men whom he has steadily de-
nounced on the stump in every campaign
since 1851. He has really no part ur lot
in the glory Of a saved country, and he
has no more right to be President ui 1t
than JEFF. Davis. For him the grand song
Of a thousand years" had no charms dur.
ing the war. He smiled Jerisiyely when
the boys In blue and the maidens in white
sang at the great meetings OF the war those
words,
"Lltt up your eyes, depending frsemsu,
Fling 70 the winds your needless fears!
He who untuIled YOUR beauteouS banner
Says II shall wave a thousand JearS"
And still more derisively did such Ohio
men as Thurman and Vallandigham smile
when these same singers applied the fol.
lowing words Of another verse Of that
"song Of thousand years" to them:
"RebelS At kOp.et Go hide your lacesl
weep Tor your crimes with bitter telIsl
You could not bind the blessed daylight,
Though you should striTe for thousand yelr'.'
Thurman strove TO "bind the blessed
daylight" all through the war. It came
at last in spite OF him, just as the busi- |
ness prosperity Of the country has return
ed without any aid or encouragement
from him. Such q man deserves
nothing whatever at the hands OF the
country, and least Of all does he deserve
anything at the hands Of the great State OF
Ohio, which he misrepresenB in the
United States Senate.

WHEAT was again excited yesterday at
Chicago, and closed with feverish under
tone. The price here is now from 81 O5 to
Il 10, according to quality. Adealer from
out the Baltimore road informs US that
they are paying 81 O5 at points near here,
for instance at Glen EaSton. He says that
there is great deal OF grain in the hands
ottho farmers. 1t is useless to speculate
as to what will be the upshot of the
present rise in wheat. The news from the
other side OF the ocean has been favorable
to high prices in this country. On the
other hand, there is the element Of in.
creased ireights to contend against so far
as producers are concerned. The railroads
are now charging 80 cents per hundred
from Chicago to New York, and q cents
TO Baltimore, and Il lake navigation was
nearer its close they would probably ad.
vance the rate to 40 cents, in which case
the price Of wheat would correspondingly
decline in the hands Of holders. Ocean
freights are also tending upward. High
freights, mean, Of course, increased cost
for delivery in Liverpool, aud increased
cost there means more active competition
from Russia and the whole Black Sea and
Mediterranean grain country.

SENATOR BLAINE is officially announced
by the state Central Committee OF Ohio,
for speech at Bellaire on Friday after
noon next, the 26th, and another at New
Philadelphia on the next day Saturday az
ternoonl, and for still another at Canton
on the next Monday afternoon. At Bellaire
they arc making preparations ior the big.
gest meeting since the war. The whole
country round about is billed with an.
nOuncements that BLAINE, OF Maine" is to
speak. The expectation is that the Mar.
row Gauge, the @. & p, and the Central
Ohio roads will bring to Bellaire immense
excursion trains, and that the highways
and by.ways leading to the town will be
thoked up with people anxious to see and
hear the plumed knight who throws such
a aterritIlc lance into Congressional debate,
and who, as far back as 1875 according to
IngersolD, "knew enough to know" that
prosperity could not and would not come
to Bellaire by printing more money, but
"hand in hand with labor through the
golden harvest fields, aud hand in hand
past the flashing fires Of flaming furnace
doors"
That man is James G. Blaine, and he
will make the weIkin ring and set the wild
echoes flying next Friday at Bellaire.

"there is not Democrat in the land
capable of understanding the A r c

been in power ior nearly twenty years,
and in all that time have shown so lit

the finances OF the country, it is pretty
evident that there is no one in that
party capable of doing what tho coun.
try needs. Why has not that party
when it had plenty of opportunity, re.
lieved the country from financial dis.

TUE New TRAMP LAw.-As the
new tramp law went into effect on
Friday, the 18th of the present month,
we now give brief summary for the
benefit OF those who may not have
preserved the full text The law pro.
vidcs as follows;
"That any person going about from
place to place begging, asking, or sub.
sisting Upon charity and for tho pur.
pose of acquiring money or living,
and who shall have no liked place of
residence or lawful occupation in the
county or city in which be shall be ar
rested, shall be taken and deemed to
be tramp and be guilty of misde-
meanor, and, on conviction, shall be
sentenced to undergo n Imprisonment
by separate and solitary confinement,
at labor, in the county jail or work.
house, for not more than twelve months,
at the discretion of the Court. Any
tramp who shall enter any dwelling
house, against the will or without the
permission of the owner or occupant
thereof, or shall kindle any fire IN the
highway or on the land of another
without the owners consent, or shall
be found carrying any firearms or
other dangerous weapons with intent
unlawfully to do injury or intimidate,
shall be sentenced to imprisonment by
solitary confinement, at labor, for a
period not exceeding three years"
The act does not apply to females,
minors under the age of sixteen years,
nor to any blind, deaf or dumb person,
nor to any MANNED or crippled person
who is unable to perform manual labor.
As the act makes the offences named
n "misdemeanor," Justices of the Peace
can not try and dispose of the cases,
but must bind the parties to appear at
Court for trial. This, il the tramps do
not not clear out, will impose a serious
cost on the counties frequentod by
these pests.

LABOR INFORMATION.

We notice by the Philadelphia Times
that Secretary Evarts had the happy
thought, when he took charge of the
State Department, of giving the Uni
ted States Consuls abroad something
to do by directing them to investigate
the rate of wages paid laborers in the
country where they were stationed,
the cost of living and the state OF trade.
Some interesting facts are furnished
by their reports, which ought to put
American laborers in better humor
with their lot. The most important
point is that the laborer in the United
States is paid better wages and can
support his family more cheaply than
the laborer in any European country.
The condition Of the laboring classes
IS especially gloomy in Germany,
where the average weekly wages OF
the agricultural laborer, without board
or lodgings, are but $3.50, and only
half that sum when be is housed and
fed by his employer. Wages do not
rule much higher than this in Belgium
or France, but the laborers in the lat
ter countries are more thrifty and con,
tented. Wages of all sorts of work.
men are much less in England than in
this country, while the prices of food
are fully a quarter higher. But strike:
and drunkenness render the condition oi
the laboring classes in Great Britain
much less happy than their conditions
wonld allow. Our Consul at Sheffield
estimates that each workineman il
that district on the average loses one
day of each week through drink, which
is equal to loss Of one-sixth the pro
ductive power Of the district, and thii
vice, with its consequent loss, seemi
, to be on the increase. Meanwhile thu
successful efforts Of the Trades Union
to prevent the reduction of wages hav,
disorganized many industries, and th'
condition of almost all manufactures i
very discouraging On the whole
there doesn't seem to be much grount
for the American laborer to grumbl
when he compares his lot with that o
