When a preacher attempts to take
part in politics, he generally shows
that he is outside of his sphere The
notorious Talmage preached a politi-
cal sermon on the Sunday before the
State election in the State of New
York. He said: "You have no right,
for political purposes, to assail a mans
moral character" We suppose that
it would be best not to inquire too
closely into the moral character of
even the preachers in and about
Brooklyn, where Talmage and Beech
er flourish most. But how would this
apply in business? About how many
banks, or merchants, or other business
men, will consent to the doctrine that
they have no right to inquire into the
moral. character of the men whom
they have to employ to take charge of
important business?

We are for Miss Lille Darst, of the Circle
vile Herald, for En- crossing Clerk of the next
Senate. She is a lady Of the industrious, com
mon sense sort, and we hope both our Senators
Will Hook to her rStandard.-l1ro Register.
The Dayton Journal is the only newspaper
man who does not endorse Miss Darst's candi-
dacy. She deserves well of the press and would
fill the clerkship in the same businesslike man
ner in which she conducts the newspaper busi-
ness. Col. Pond, cast our vote for Miss Darst.
We find the above in the Marietta
Register. We see similar articles in
most of our exchanges, Of both parties.
We have read Miss Darst's paper ever
since she has been editor, and we are
personally acquainted with her. She
is a brave, independent woman, and
fully competent to perform the duties
Of clerk.
We take this subject as text for a
few remarks. Why not permit wo-
men to vote and hold office the same
as men? Did not Mrs. Currie make
as good Recorder as Scioto county
ever had? Yet she could not be
elected to that Office, and Judge
Towne, man, had to be elected, and
then let Mrs. Currie do the work in
the Office, and receive the fees. Every
voter in the county knew that he was
not voting for Judge Towne, but for
the woman; yet his name had to be
used. 1t was like the old fiction in
the English law, where the real par
ties were not known, but John Doe
and Richard Roe were the itigants.
Is there sufficient manliness, cour-
age, and common fairness in the Ohio
Legislature, recently elected, to sub
NIT to the voters of the State, an
amendment to the constitution, tc
strike out the words white male,
when applied to voters? Every officer
who takes an oath to support the con
stitution of the United States, anG
the State of Ohio, has to swear lie
They are in direct conflict. One say
that colored men shall vote; the othe1
says they shall not. This should bt
remedied at once, and while doing
that, give the women chance.
We authorize our Senator, Mr.. Pol
lard, to vote for Miss Darst.

From Iowa.
HARITON, IOWA,Oct. 30. 1879.

CHARLTON, Iowa, Oct. 30, 1879
To the Editor of the Standard:
Well, we have met the enemy, and
they are ours, and the ex-rebels will
now take back seat. We are glad
to know that our native State has
hoisted the old stars and stripes, and
has proved by her votes that once
more Ohio is on the safe side. Iowa
is still as Republican as ever. John
H. Gear, the Republican candidate for
Governor, beat the Democratic candi-
date 10000 votes. How is that for
high? Say, you poor seedy northern
sympathizers, how do you feel now?
Go off and soak your head a while,
and learn that the people know what
you mean when you say you will help
wipe out the war records of the union
loving people.
Everything looks prosperous out
here. Crops are good, and prices are
on the advance, which has been sad
thing for the Greenbackers, as they
have dwindled down to no party at all
since the election. 1t is real funny
to hear the Democrats cursing the g.
b. party for going to the Republican
ranks on election day.
There were four tickets for Cover
nor in this State, Republican, Demo-
cratic, Greenback and Prohibition,
and the Republican majority over all
the rest will be 25,00O We still claim
the banner. Next year we will roll
up almost a unanimous vote for either
Grant, Blaine or John Sherman.
Grant will pass through the State
next week, and thousands will flock
to see the great chieftain. Brother
Mackley, give us a hearty shake, and
accept the thanks of a Buckeye boy
for helping to redeem his native State.

Cats.

You may think the above a strange
heading for political article. So
it is.
We have seen boys who were in
clined to mischief, take a cat, climb
upon fence, take the cat by the feet
and tail, hold it with its back down,
and then let it drop. 1t would never
fail to turn in its fall, and invariably
light on its feet, unhurt. 1t made no
difference as to the distance of the
fall. Sometimes the boy would climb
upon the shed, or corn crib, and let
the cat fall distance Of fifteen or
twenty feet; it made no difference;
the cat lit squarely on its feet every
time, and walked OF ran away without
the slightest injury.
It is also said that you cannot kill
cat until you have tried it nine times
that a cat has nine lives. We tried
it once, and became discouraged. One
night we found cat in our office, and

met with so complete an overthrow

thrown. The Democratic papers are
still claiming all the State officers in

seven State officers elected, are Repub-

The New York papers have a good
deal to say about the tremendous
overthrow of the rebel Democracy all
over the Free States. The Herald is
an independent paper, quite fair in its
editorials generally, but it rather leans
towards the Democracy. The follow
ing hint from one of its editorials, the
day after the election, has a general
application: -
Well. this is a good time for the Democrats to
consider whether it is worth their while to go
making idiots of themselves. 1t is not
much of a snow storm, but it is enough to
snow them under once more.

Linda MackelIar.

Linda's father left the sick-room a
short time, when suddenly she turned
to her faithful, pious attendant, and
said: Margaret, take my hand. |
am on my way to heaven" Margaret
knelt down beside her and weepingly
cried; God be with your Il love
my sisters so, and | love my dear IA
ther so. God bless him for all his
kindness to me. And | love you, too,
Margaret" Then raising hand to
heaven. she said: Jesus take me up"
And without pang Or struggle, and
with a single gentle breath, she passed
away. Margaret exclaimed: Lord,
take the soul of this thy servant into
thy holy habitations.
This was the beautiful closing on
earth Of the benefcent and active
life of Linda MacKellar, daughter of
the senior partner of the firm Of Mac
Kellar, Smiths & Jordan, typefound-
ers, Phila., Pa.) Quick, impulsive,
and energetic, every good work under
taken by her was thoroughly perform
ed. The last child left in the home

Of her deceased mother as its head
in the church, in the Sunday-school,
and in the world, she had filled her
part well. No sun was too hot, no
winter day too cold, no night too dark
to deter her from filing her post of
duty. Singularly guileless, her life
seemed the very embodiment of truth
and purity; while mental force and
decision were tempered with a touch
ing, child-like confdingness.
Within two weeks that stricken
family circle lost three members-twc
of them grandchildren, one of whom
was conveyed to the grave at the same
time as Linda Mcclellan. She may
truly be said to have died, in her beau
tiful young womanhood, martyr to
her loving care and attention to he1
little nephew, who had been taken in
to his grandfather's house to save him
from diphtheric disease that had at
tackled his sister; but too late, as he
brought the contagion with him.
Comforting exceedingly was the
question addressed by Margaret to the
father the day after: "Would you
begrudge her to the one that's got
her?"

contrary, and ran from one corner to
the other, and finally got behind
large box and refused to come out. In
trying to get it out, we hit it an un-
fortunate blow on the back of the
head, with an iron poker. 1t jumped
around for minute or two like a
chicken when its head is cut off, and
then it lay Timber and still. We had
no doubt that it was dead, and threw
it out of the window. It fell about
sixty feet and lit in the middle of the
street. Early next morning we went
out to take it away, but it was not
there. Looking around we saw it
quietly sitting on the steps of the
Isham House. Going to it we dis
covered that it was apparently as
sound and well as any cat in town
Now for the application. The
Democratic party is like cat. You
cannot kill it, even in nine attempts.
You may cut its tail off, and both tail
and body will wiggle. You may
break it's back, or its neck, or cut it's
head off, and it is as lively a cat as
lever. We admire this disposition of
the party to look upon the bright side,
and always be hopeful. The recent
crushing defeat of the party all over
the country, would discourage any
party not possessing the lives of a cat.
Any ordinary Democratic fnancier
can explain to you just how it occur
red, and can derive very much comfort
from the defeat of the party. For in
stance, many Democratic editors have
made the discovery that if you take
the counties which gave Republican
maiorities and not count them, then
the Democratic party would show
majority. No doubt in the world
about that. Then they have discov-
cred that if you refuse to count the
votes of the ''niggers," Ohio would
give Democratic majority. This is
the Democratic plan adopted in the
rebel States, but, unfortunately, it
cannot be carried out to any very great
extent in Ohio.
We would like to make some fur
ther suggestions to these Democratic
cats. If you could throw out the
votes cast in Ohio by the Welsh
voters, you could have the State.
Again; if you could throw out the
votes of all the members Of the
churches, you could sweep Ohio by a
big majority. If you could manage
to throw out the votes Of all the hon
est men-men who earn an honest
living-men who pay their debts, you
could have bigger Democratic ma
jority than was the majority of Brough
over Vallandigham in 1853.
It is difficult to accomplish all this.
And then schools, and churches, and
other means Of education and enlight-
enment are progressing, and three
fourths of the young men who each
year arrive to the age to vote, are vot-
ing the Republican ticket. No matter.
The old cat will still be on its feet.
There are old Democrats away up the
creeks who have been voting for Gen
eral Jackson every year for President,
since the year 1924. They have no
doubt that Jackson is President yet.

The earth is bright to me
With mellow tints the bending skies unfold;
And the hearts currency
Is coin'd of holiest words, loves purest gold;
While fragrant flowers are blooming at my
feet,
And all things here are beautiful and sweet.
Dear Home, what scenes of bliss
Arise in peaceful visions to my sight!
And mornings dewy kiss
In beaded beauty flashes in the light
While like a feather'd nest on boughs above,
My own sweet home is soft with downy love.
o Church! my other rest,
So fondIy CHERISHED, to my spirit true,
Thy pastures green are blest;
And thy rich music thrills with raptures
new,
Till overborne with throbs of gratitude,
1 find still higher bliss in doing good.
So blest, and yet my eye
My spirits eye-discerns another sphere,
Where brightly, fragrantly,
Bloom fadeless flowers that never blossom
here:
Though earthly flowers are full of love to me,
Yet take me, Jesus, to that land and Thee
Another Home is mine
Fairer than this, though this is wondrous fair;
Where life is love divine,
And earth Is miasmas breathe not in the air;
more than jewelld throne is this to me,
Yet take me, Jesus, to that home and Thee.
Another Church see,
A holier church, blood wash'd and pure and
It's day eternity,
It's songs and scenes forevermore are new:
All things below are beautiful to me,
Yet take me, Jesus, to that church and Thee.
The Lord in mercy bent
To hear the prayer from lips all undefled,
And Swift-wing'd angels sent
To gather home His own devoted child;
The Lord himself his own hath taken up
Where sight outblossoms all her budded hope.

House Of Representatives at its first
session, appears to have got out of
prison once more, and last week made
application to the Supreme Court at
Columbus for admission to the bar,
but the Court refused, ON account of
his want of moral character.

moral character being necessary for

funny to those who have any ac-
quaintance with Democratic lawyers.
