Which the Newspapers Say.

The Cincinnati Gazette can now appeal
to its party friends with some force rs a
stalwart organ. The Democratic Gov
ernor of Ohio has sued it for libel, placing
damages mt $50, 900, and the Democratic
Clerk of Ham lton County has filed speci-
fcations in libel suit to the amount of
$4,000. If Gov Blackburn would send
in his bill for damages now the Gazette
would be as happy as clam at high tide
Mr.. Hayes knows how to make hay
while the sun shines. He has made
$4,000 a year out of his salary and has
made John Hay Assistant Secretary of
State. No such Hay-making as this has
been done under the genial sunshine of
the Presidency since the days of JET
ferson.
Murat Halstead pretends to be very
much opposed to Grant, but he is one of
the committee appointed to arrange for
his reception in Cincinnati next month.
1t is only to help Grant along as dis
tinguished private citizen that Halstead
proposes to burn incense. He probably
knows too, that if the show is we'll
worked up it will bring money to town.

When man in Connecticut is killed
by buzz saw they arrest his family and
hold them until the State Chem st has
examined the mans stomach in search of
arsenic.

The Cincinnati Gazette does not like
the methods our "Conscript Fathers"
have of cleaning the streets 1t says:
"Chicago does not spend much money
in cleaning streets. When it is wet there
is mud. When it is dry there is dust,
and in the latter case the deposits are
carried off IN the clothes and lungs Of the
people. 1t is cheap way of removing
the dirt, but it can hardly be said to be a
good way
Cincinnati takes her dirt differently
She waits for rain to come laundering
from her hill-tops and wash the refuse of
her streets and filthy alleys into the river,
and then pumps it up into reservoir,
mixes it with lager, cocks it into coffee,
etc. Min you, we do not libel the cit
isens OF Cincinnati by saying she drinks
it raw.

The Ohio man must not only have
office while a i've, but he must be allowed
to rest in peace when he is dead. A doc
ter and another man were arrested in
Delaware, Ohio, for an attempt at grave
robbing. They were BETRAYED to the City
Marshal by detective employed for this
purpose.

The brewers of Cincinnati have re-
solved upon a movement which is an i'm
itation, conscious or unconscious, of the
alliance recently initiated by the gas
companies of Brooklyn. All the
breweries of Cincinnati are to be
owned by one stock company, with
capital of SIS, 100000 and will be man
aged by its officers, each brewery having
its proportion of the stock. But the
brewers are more candid than the gas
makers, ard say that they do this to put
a stop to competition, and get more
money for their beer. The gasncompa-
MES made ptthetic complaints about the
Office rents they were paying, and urged
consolidation into large monopoly on
the pretense of economy. The physolo-
gists have been disputing for many years
over the physical influence of beer the
psychologists might take their turn now
and tel us whether it is, morally, bet
ter fluid than gas.

Tom Young, of Ohio, says John Sher-
man will be the Republican Presidential
candidate. 1t does not appear that Mr..
Sherman can run for any Office under his
existing disabilities
The Cincinnati Gazette boldly advo-
Gates the importation of 10000 Kentucky
negroes into Indiana to help the Repub-
lican party next year. We regret to see
that Deacon Smith is getting more in
different to the laws and correct moral
principles every day.

Cincinnati, having been relieved from
che coal-dealers' extortions by the timely
arrival of fleet of fatboats from Pitts
burg, has now to look to it that she be
not subjected to greater imposition in
the matter of beer. The brewers of that
town are discussing project of consoli-
dating their establishments into single
company, for the express purpose Of
putting up the price.
tChicago Tribune.l
This great consolidation, however, will
not reach success without bitter strug-
Gle. The beer saloons of Cincinnati will
consolidate in self defense, and it is not
impossible that they will establish new
breweries in their interest, for beer is a
necessity in that city, notwithstanding
its boasted culture and esthetc progress
As this consolidation is also aimed at the
beer interests of Chicago, Milwaukee,
and St. Louis, there is no question that
the contest will be fierce one, and that
the three cities we have named will rally
round the beer saloons of Cincinnati and
supply them with good. cheap beer. OF
course the consolidation will cut down On
prices, but the result in any contingency
will be cheap beer, which is one of the
great problenys of the day. ANY COM
