n'esolved, That the Republican party havin g
redeemed Its pledge to make the grsenback
collar worth one hundred cents in gold or sill
yer, and having given the country a safe and
ne1ipie currency well adapted to the industrial
needs or the people, we therefore oppose any
radical change in our present financial system
ana congratulate the country on the successful
resumption OF specie payments and the signs of

cooperation of all men OF whatever former

We ask all honest money democrats to can

Blackman and his Courier came out fat
greenback, last week, and runs up the G. B.
State Ticket. His published reason for that
course WAS that the Republicans had nominated
a ticket 80 unexseptionable that no fault
could be found with the candidates from any
quart er. He evidently has slop bucket he
wants to empty somewhere, and seeks to do so
from the G. b. Wigwam.

As to Treating Ones Friends.

The Methodist says kind words for
the "moderstion" reform movement
which aims at stopping the habit of
treating to drinks. But it.would 90 fur
ther and stop the practice of treating to
car fares. at is desirable, we think, to
get under the principle Of good will and
manliness that supports treating. We
beg leave, therefore, to say that it is not
manly and courteous, but just the re-
verse, to pay another's bill without be-
ing asked to do so, or when there is-no
reason to believe that other unable to
pay for himself. The man who pays bis
neighbours Car fare, lunch ticket or con-
cert ticket, without express permission,
does an ungentlemanly thing, a,svulgar
thing, which a well-bred man will never
do without sense of personal humilis-
ton. The welt bred man may do these
things because he knows they are the
custom of the imperfecly civilized peo-
pie among whom he lives. but he will
feel that he degrades himself by doing
them. The principle is a verys simple
one; when you pay another mans car
fare without his r. quest. spoken or i'm
piled, you assume The right to create an
obligation, and this assumption is bad

A New Cardinal.


The Herald's SPECIAL cable despatch
from Rome announces the elevation Of
the Rev Dr.. Newmanto the dignity of a
Cardinal. The Pope's action seems to
have been very warmly approved and the
ongralulalions of the ambassadors at
Rome and of Catholic diguitaries of all
nationalities were heartily extended 10
the new Cardinal at an assembly at Cardi-
nal Howard's palace. In England the
promotion is regarded with much favor,
and the people are anxious to show their
appreciation OF the Cardinals many good
qualities. The Pope's selection is accep-
ted as significant of his interest in Csthc-
licism in England, and is certainly on evi-
dence of his liberality and sound judg-
mert. Cardinal Newman is one of the
most accomplished men and one of the
most graceful writer's in England, but be
was sligi ted by the lats Pope, as. indeed,
was the present Pope himself. Itis sin
eular that both Cardinal Manning and
Cardinal Newman are converts to the
Church OF Rome from the Church OF En-
gland. Y. Herald, 18th inst.

A Poor Girls Hair.

A young and poorly-clad girl entered
barber shop in Vienna, and told the
proprietor that he must "buy her head"
The friseur examined her long glossy
chestnut locks, ana began to bargain
He could give eight forms, and no
more. Hair was plentiful this, year, the
price had fallen, there was less demand,
and other phrases of the kind. The
little maiden's eyes filled with tears, and
she hesitated moment while threading
her fingers through her chestnut locks
she finally threw herself in chair, and
said:
"Then take it quickly"
The barber, satisfied with his bargain,
was about to clinch it with his shears,
when gentleman who sat half shaved,
looking up, told him to stop
"My child" said he, "why do you sell
your beautiful hair ?"
"My mother has been nearly five
months ill. / can not work enough to
support us; every thing has been sold
or pawned. and there is not penny in
the house." {"
"No, no, my child il that is the case
l will buy your hair, and give you one
hundred forms for it,"
He gave the poor girl the note. the
sight OF which dried her tears, and he
took up the barber's shears. Taking the
locks in his hand be took the longest
hair, cut it off and put it carefully in his
pocke,-book, thus paying one hundred
forms for single hair. He took the
poor girls address in case he should
want to buy another at the same rate =

Reduce the Army!

There are nearly one hundred and fifty
Democrats, good. bad and Indifferent, in
the present House Of Representatives.
Which of them will be the first to bring
forward bill reducing the Amy to TO-.
900 men2
This reduction should have been made
long ago. There are good and sufficient
reasons for making it now, wholly aside
from the danger to republican institutions
in maintaining an overgrown standing
army in time of peace. The people have
been paying too much for their whistle.
and is bigger whistle than they have
any use for. So long as the taxes are
where they ate, it is an outrage 10 take
millions of dollars out of the people s
pockets, year after year, for the benefit
of class of would-he arist,crats in
shoulder straps that affect to look down
upon the plain farmers, mechanics, and
business men whose money keeps these
fine military popinjays in bread and but
ter.
Now Hayes has furnished fresh and
cogent reason for this reduction by ve-
toing two bills, one after the other, de-
signed t, prevent the employment of the
paid soldiers of the United States by q
political party to carry elections st the
point of tie bayonet when tue ballot
