BEwARE.-Charles Foster, Governor-elect
OF Ohio, is native of Fostoria, his present
residence, and is fifty-one years of age. Pur-
suing his business as a merchant he never
held any public office until he was elected
to the Forty-second congress. His service
in the house covered four terms, that is,
eight years. He made highly honorable
record, and was specially distinguished for
exposing trickery and fraud. He lost his
seat in congress last year, not because he
had lost popularity, but only because, by an
unfair and outrageous gerrymandering pro
cess the Republicans had been virtually dis
franchised in that section of Ohio. The peo-
pie of the state understood this perfectly
and have now spoken in tone which is I'M
derstood and appreciated by Mr.. Fosters
old constituents. The attempt to make fun
of Foster as a stay-at-home soldier, and the
nickname given him in the campaign, .oi
"Calico Charlie" has resulted in a good
thing for the retail sellers of that kind OF
dry goods, AS soon as Fosters victory wa.
known, the people of his home town, Eos
toria, changed its name TO Calcotown, anC
the people of the state decked their houses
with calico. The demands for the materia
at the stores was immense. This hickman
ing is a little hazardous, for if pushed to-
far it sometimes kicks back. "Log cabil
and hard cider" once made a citizen o
Ohio president of the United States.

Successful Negotiations.

The attempt of Secretary Schurz to deal
with the hostile and murderous Ute Indians
in any way other than by bloody war of
revenge, if not of extinction, was ridiculed
by all military men and distrusted by nearly
all civilians. But the measure of success
which has so signally and speedily rewarded
his efforts abundantly attests the wisdom of
his course, and will do much to check the
hot haste with which it was expected that
congress, Immediately upon its assembling
in December would hand the Indian depart
ment over to the secretary of war. To crown
Secretary Schurz's efforts with complete
success it only needs that the perpetrators
of the late massacre be given up for the
punishment they richly deserve. The re-
suit of the negotiation thus far is reported
by telegraph as follows;
General Charles Adams the special agent sent
ont by Secretary Schurz, has accomplished part
of his mission in securing the surrender of Mrs.
and Miss Meeker and Mrs. Price and her two chill
dren by the utes, who recently killed Agent
Meeker and others. The captives had suffered
no harm or insult from the Indians and they
were given up without conditions. They were
Immediately sent with an escort to Lake City,
Dakota, to proceed thence via Del Norte to Dem
yer, Colorado The Indians are anxious for peace
and desire full investigation Of the trouble.
General Adams will now try to secure the sur
render of the murderers of Major Thornburgh,
Agent Meeker and others. While his negotia-
tons are going on General Merritt will remain
where he is. The Indians terms OF surrender have
been sent to Washington. Adams intrepidity in
going among the Indians, and his skill and judy
ment in obtaining the captive women and chill
dren are highly commended by Secretary Schurz
Mr.. Schurz and General Sherman had a confer
ence with the president the other day at the ex-
ecutive mansion, and subsequently Secretary
Schurz telegaphed additional instructions TO Spe-
cial Agent Adams, who expected to arrive at the
Los Pnos agency the 30th. They all continue t.
think the prospect of an early and satisfactory
settlement OF the Ute troubles is very encouraging

The OLD SToRY.-The Rockford (Illi-

THE OLD SToRY.-The Rockford (Illi-
nois) city council has passed liquor ordin-
ance compelling saloon keepers to take down
their blinds and shutters, and everything
that obstructs full view from the street,
and they are not allowed to sell by less
quantities than the gallon. In this way the
authorities think they are going to be able
to enforce the no.lcense law. 1t is now
over six months since the no-license rule
went into effect, and so far not saloon
keeper has been fined, and all have con-
tinued their sales. As cider is not consid
cred an intoxicating drink, they are allowed
to sell this by the glass; hence everything
is sold as cider They have different
kinds of "cider," each denoting a different
kind Of drink. There is the "plain cider"
meaning beer; the " hard cider" meaning
brandy; the "sour cider" meaning sour
mash whiskey; the "sweet cider" meaning
claret or port wines. Thus there is a large
saloon vocabulary known only to those who
are regular customers. Let one of these
parties be called up to testify against the
saloon keeper, and all he can tell is he called
for "cider and he supposes he got cider.

FREEDMEN IN KANsAs.--The Kansas Freed
mems Relief Association report about five
thousand of the refugees from the South
have found homes in Kansas. Many arrived
destitute, their wants were relieved, employ.
ment was found for them and they were
helped to establish new homes. Many were
settled in colonies, and all are now healthy,
industrious, and happy. Money and cloth
ing have been received from all parts Of
the country and have been judiciously ex
pended by the directors of the association
comprising the governor and other state
officers, whose faithful, wise, and unpaid
services deserve great credit The work is
not yet done, however. Many of the immi
grants must be aided during the winter
and some perhaps will need help until next
years harvest is gathered A large immi
grafton is anticipated this fall and next
spring, and the association wishes to be
prepared for it. Contributions have nearly
ceased, since the exodus is no longer nov
city, and reports of its progress and discus
sions as to its causes and results have gen
orally ceased. The treasury of the associa
ton is nearly empty, while demands upor
it are continuous, and may rapidly ant
largely increase. The officers say that Kan
sas will do its part cheerfully and literally
but they think reasonably that this young
state ought not to be left to bear the whole
burden. They believe that a part of the
current of immigration should be turned il
another direction, but, if that cannot b.
done, her people should have help in sup
plying the needs of the destitute and dis
tributing them where employment may b.
found or homes provided.

PLATE AND HERoD.-The Sun and Herald
of New York are thrown into spasms at the
prospect Of the Republicans carrying that
state, and have come to act like cooling
doves in their common cause. They even
copy approvingly from each others columns
The Herald has made specially of resist
ing the Kelly boom, apparently to very little
purpose while the Sun has sought to divide
the Republicans by appeals to their preju
dices. Its latest effort is to incite Jealousy
Of Conkling among the friends of Blaine
and Sherman. Hear it, "Suppose New
York should elect Cornell through the bolt
of John Kelly and his followers. In thai
contingency, Mr. Conklng would carry il
his pocket the delegation from this state Il
the national convention, and there is little
doubt how that vote would be cast. The
election of Cornell would make Mr.. Conk
ling master of the situation. He could die
tate the candidate. His antagonism K

would be in his power to punish both b,
settling old scores, and he is not apt to neg
lect that sort of opportunity"

The NEXT CoNGREss.-The United States
Senate now stands, Democrats, forty.one
Republicans, thirty-four; Independent, one
The terms of twenty-five senators expire
March 3, 1881. OF these, fourteen are Dem
ocrats and eleven are Republicans. Leav-
ing out of account those senators who take
their seat in the next congress and the Dem
ocrats stand twenty-seven; the Republicans,
twenty three. The Democrats are sure of
nine of the new senator's, making their sure
total thirty-six. The Republicans are sure
of twelve, making their sure total thirty
five. The Democrats elect in Delaware,
Florida, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri,
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Vir-
ginia; the Republicans in California, Maine,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Ne
braska, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Vermont and Wisconsin. The doubt.
full states are Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey and Indiana. 1t is probable that the
Republicans will carry them all, which will
give them thirty-nine senators. The Demo
Gratis must carry three of them to maintain
their supremacy. This review shows that
the fights this fall are for the control of a
branch of congress as well as for state officers
and it is the hight of folly to claim that
national questions have no place in our dis
oussinno

MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANCE-A three-years
old daughter of Mitchell Prof, Frenchman, was
lost in the woods near West Jay last week Tues
day while hunting for moss with her brothers and
sisters. She told by one of her brothers to
go home, and started to do So but not returning
in a reasonable time, search was made by hum
dreds of people without success. OF course such
an event would create intense excitement and
anxiety, and hundreds of surmises have been
made as to the little ones fate, many believing,
or affectng to believe, that the child abducted,
murdered, and the body hidden in the leaves.
This seems to us very improbable, as we can con-
ceive of no motive for abducting child OF that
age. The child is undoubtedly lost in the woods
and must have starved to death. So small II child
would easily be overlooked, however diligently
searched for. 1t is sad case and appeals strongly
to the sympathy of ALL especially OF those who
themselves have children

THE DANGER.-We never at any period
of our history had so much gold in proper
ton to our population as we have to-day,
and the volume is sure to go on increasing
for months to come. While we cannot be
blind to thu certain advantages of this con-
dition of affairs, let us also remember that
the sudden aud enormous increase of the
circulating medium of country is not a
sure and certain advantage. II it leads To
transportation and a carelessness in the
matter of legitimate enterprise, there must
assuredly come severe reaction. This was
fully illustrated in the case of Germany.
The flush times produced by the stupendous
French indemnity have been followed by a
reaction, under which that grasping empire
is still struggling.

The COMING RAGE.-The bicyclist craze of
Boston bids fair to eclipse the pedestrian fu-
rore of New York. The ninety-mile run which
ended at Boston on Saturday night was
probably the forerunner of development of
bicyclism in this country There were thr-
ty-one riders at the start, but many of them
fell out while others Joined on the way the
trip out of Boston and back occupied two
days, the rough roads and high winds every
where encountered making it hard journey.
Besides representatives of the Massachu-
sets, the Boston, the Suffolk, the Salem,
the Worcester, and the Providence clubs,
the party had the famous foreign bicyclists
Etherington and Cam of England, and Ter.
ront of France, though the two former
dropped out oil account of the disagreeable
winds. The presence here of these we'll
known riders will no doubt arouse public
interest in the sport never before felt in
America, especially as two other illustrious
experts, Keen and Stanton, are on the way
to join Terront and Cam. These four will
insure as fine an exhibition of their art as
could be asked for; in fact, had Waller, who
made the great record of over fourteen hun.
dred miles in six days of eighteen hours
each, been able to accompany them, nobody
of great bicyclical consequence would have
been left on the other side. When they are
all assembled, under the manager, Ethering
ton, the larger cities of the United States
will be visited, and for brief time even the
walkers will give way to the wheels.

GIVEN UP.-Senator Hill of Georgia, in
behalf of the Tilden men of the South, has
made two unsuccessful journeys to New
York to effect a reconciliation between the
two belligerent factions of the Democratic
party in that state. Mr.. Kelley utterly
refuses to withdraw unless Governor Robin
son also retires, aud the latter pronounces
the whole scheme ridiculous. Upon this
the New York Herald utters the almost
universal conclusion when it says "The
Democratic feeling is universal elsewhere,
aud is rapidly becoming universal here, thai
the state is hopelessly gone unless the loca
quarrel can be adjusted, and that with thu
loss of New York all chances OF electing q
Democratic president next year will vanish
