MANY MEN OF MANY MINDS.

The returns Of the several county asses

State Board of Equalization, present figures

conscientious men, and in forming their es
Inmates OF values constantly held in view
the requirements of the law, we have cause
for amazemcnt in the diversity Of opinion,
indicated by their returns.

UEATHENS AT HOME.

The editor of the Benton Legal Tender is
opposed to foreign missionary labor until
Americans are brought up to the moral
plane of the average heather. From what
we hear of the heather" he says, "they are
quite as we'll off as are people in the
United States, They are quite as happy
and less meddlcsome, They do not have as
many rapes, riots, shcritf's sales murders,
abortions, robberies and criminals TO the
square inch as in the boosted civilization
of America, a Christainizcd country.
The heathens are not etcrnally
reaching for back-pay and lcgisla-
ting their children into the support
of bOndholding aristocracy as are the ones
who conceived it TO be their duty to beg
from American industry for the support Of
those who, if able to improve the morals of
peoplO, would do well to tackle the Ameri-
can ministry and churches, as a commence
mcnt exercise. With our own country run
ming to crime pauperism, aristocracy, and
all manner Of robbery of industry; with
drunkenness increasing as rot does in an
apple; with the poor-house and iails Of
America filing up faster than are homes,
with happiness with lite-enslaving golden
calf element reaching for the vitals Of that
civil and religious liberty that cannot en-
dure where people are not free and indie
pendent, with laws that are made by the
rich to make men richer and hold the
wealth.producing element Of the country
in continual subiugation to Ignorance,
prejudice and hard times, it does seem to
us as we look by the hight of the lamp God
suspends before US, that America is a field
for all the missionary work that can be done
by those who are powerful to do good.
Those who are powerless for good at home,
are no good or credit to God or to man at
home or abroad"
There is, quite monifestly, a rapidly
growing need for missionary in the sane
tum of Benton Legal Tender The bad
man.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF ALEXANDER COUNTY

DEMOCRACY is sentiment not to be appalled,
corrupted or compromised. II knows no baseness'
covers TO no danger, Expresses no weakness rear
less generous and humane, 1t rebukes the arrogant
cherishes honor, and .ympathises with the humble
tasks nothing but what II comedies; II concede,
nothing but what 1t demands. Destructive only OF
despotsm, it is the sole conservative of liberty, ID
Dor and property Iis the sentiment Of freedom
of canal obligations. II is the law of nature per
yading the law of the land. The stupid the sci.
fish, ,se base in spirit may denounce it as Vulgar
thing; but in the history Of our race the Demo
cratic principle has developed and illustrated the
highest moral and intellectual attributes OF our
nature Yes, this is q noble, magnanimous' sub
lime sentiment, which expands our affections en-
larges the circle of our syrpathes and e!evates the
soal Of man until, claiming an equality with the
best. he rejects as unworthy of his dignity any po
litics mmuni,es over the .humbest OF his fellows
Yes. II IL an ennoblirg principle; and may that

proposal to return the body for 100000.
Amid all these bewildermcnts, Judge
Hilton and others interested in the bones OF
the old merchant prince, have so far re-
fused to compromise with the robbers 1t
is a sorry retrbution that is wreaked ON the
corrupting flesh and rafting bones OF the
dead but no man can think of the manner
in which Stewart, when alive, dug up the
bones of hundreds of human beings, and
carted them away as so much rubbish
withor, foeling that time makes all things
eyeA." To provide the foundation tor a
stable he disturbed the sacred dust OF bet
ter men than himself, causing feeling OF
horror and indignation among the people OF
New York that finally begat violent inter
ference with his ghoulish work, And now,
as if in answer to the demands of reuibu-
tive Justice, his own bones are carried hither
and yon, a shapcless rafting heap, hidden
away in dark and noisome places, the spoil
of bad men; who would sell them for
money! 1t is, as We have said, senscless
retribution that is wreaked upon the
dead; but if there are any living Stewards
let them heed the lesson, and.respect dead
mems bones as they would have their own
respected.

WHEN THE BOWELS ARE DIsoRDEErD.
No time should be lost in resorting to Il
suitable remedy, Hostetters Stomach
Bitters is the most reliable and widely
esteemed medicine of its class. 1t removes
the causes of constipation, or of undue re-
Taxation Of the intestines, which are usually
indigestion or instruction of the bile.
When it acts as a cathartic, it does not grippe
and violently evacuate. but produces
gradualand natural effects, very unlike those
of drastic purgative; and its power Of as
sisting digestion nullities those irritating
conditions of the mucous membrane of the
stomach and intestinal canal which
produce first diarrhua, and eventually
dyscntery. The medicine is, moreover, an
agreeable one, and eminently pure and
wholesome, Appetite and tranquil nightly
slumbcr are both promoted by it.

IT WILL soon be said Of st. Louis as it
once was OF Memphis, that the citizen has
the sensation of living in the midst Of a
continuous battle. The Timcs-Journal Of
Monday says: "The outlook in the way of
hangings is remarkably cheerful. Since
the first of June, eleven murders have been
committed, and already there are several
condemned murderers in the city Jail. 1t
might be good idea to hasten the trials OF
those not yet convicted and hang the whole
batch together. 1t would save time,
trouble and rope"

THE present fiscal year promises to show
a still heavier increase in the balance OF
trade in our favor. The first month shows
a balance of sl5,OOO,OO0 and but a small
part of the cereals, produce and tobacco,h
gone abroad and none Of the cotton. To
these products must be added many manu-
ufactures now being successfully introduced
into foreign markets. But in what shape
does this balance" come to us! 1t is not in
gold, nor silver, nor exchange, nor anything
that makes money more plentiful or the
masses more prosperous. 1t simply changes
our governmental evidences of Indebtedness
from English to American hands-thatand
nothing more.
