Solid Truth.

Bro. Eshelman, of the Wayne Coun-
ty Democrat tells the solid truth when
he says:
GAS a general thing the Democracy
support their County papers poorly,
and, as consequence il is from hand
to mouth struggle for existence with
many of them" l.
1t is shame that such words can be
uttered with truth against the DEM
ocracy. Republicans support their
County papers much better than DEM
ocrats do. When the local leaders Of
the Democratic party learn wisdom in
this respect from their opponents, il
will be better for them, the party,
publishers of Democratic papers and
the country.
A great many Democrats seem to
have apprehensions lest the editor of
their local paper should get rich, and
in order to prevent such an unfortu-
nate occurance, send of their money
to mammoth cheap weekly, printed
in some city, the publishers of which
would see their rural patrons and par
ty in Halifax before they would credit
them a cent, or contribute n dime to-
wards the expenses OF a local cam
paign, all of which the Editor of the
County paper has to do literally.
Perhaps the time may come when
things will change-then Democratic
will be more frequent.

Correspondence.

Cores pondcnce. -.....Ly
Quite sad accident occurred here
on last Saturday morning. Albert
Lane, boy but fourteen years of age,
went into the barn owned by Rev.
Lewis Pain, for the purpose of doing
some chores, at the same time having
a loaded revolver in his pants pocket.
While he was at work, a load, in some
way, became discharged, the ball en-
tering the lower part of the abdomen.
There were two other persons in, the
barn at the time, and the boy was i'm
mediately taken to the house. Drs.
Smith and Goucher, of Alliance, were
summoned to dress the wound. AT
latest accounts the exact location of
the ball had not been discovered, but
was supposed to be somewhere near
the pit of the stomach. The wound is
quite serious one, but is not consid-
cred dangerous. This is another warn
ing against boys carrying these dan
gerous weapons. Oh, when will they
give heed to wisdom's voice, and leave
such instruments alone?
The health of this community, at
present, is good. We know of no sick
ness in town.
Rev. Lewis Pain, of Wellsville, spent
a few days in town last week. Also,

no one in his sober senses can for

A Model Republican state.

Iowa is, by way of eminence, styled
the Republican Banner. State, because
it casts more Republican votes than
any other State, in proportion TO pop
ulation. 1t can always be counted on
to give large Republican majority.
OF some Of its Off characteristics
the Burlington correspondent of the
Chicago Times thus speaks: b
els it worth while to tell of our A
out Of SO County Treasurers who are
defaulters? OF the one Democrat out
of all these who was promptly sent to
the Penitentiary according to law, by
virtuous Republican Judge, and at
terw ard pardoned out by Governor
Kirkwood, when three months of his
term had expired, with a long sermon
on the enormity of his crime? Or, OF
43 Republicans, equally guilty, who
have never been published at all, and
never will be p Or Governor Stones
Private Secretary, Onvig, who bagged
$4,000 of the peoples money! OF
Rankin, State Treasurer, who got off
with all thea AgricnlturalCollege funds,
some $4,000, because accidentally Oh
purpose he had given, no bond, and
the fsithful Republican Trustees didn't
ask for any? Or Brandt, Assistant
State Treasurer, who also made off
with more and many thousands Of dol
lars, and, W hen indicted for his crimes,
was promptly acquitted by the Su-
preme Court, not because he didn't do
it, but because the Deputy, aud not
the Sheriff hiInselfi drew tile jury
But why Indefinitely prOlong this
.disgl aceful list3 Enough has been
said to show that Iowa, with a hun
dred Republican majority in the Leg
islature, and ruled by Republicans for
the last quarter of century, is gov
erned from one end to- the other by a
gang of constituencies .thieyes, who,
while their official oaths yet echo from
their lips, steal all they can put their
fingers on. This, too, is done in broad,
open day, without concealment or
subterfuge, knowing well that there is
not the slightest risk of punishment,
provided the amount stolen is lai ge
enough and mounts up into thousands
of dollars; knowing well that Iowa
law, administered by Republican Of
ficials against Republican thieves, is
like the Yankees fish-net, that let
loose all the big fellows aud caught
only the little ones-that there is no
penal law for them"
Such facts-admitted to be such
should serve to moderate the disposi-
ton of hot Republican partisans to
claim for their party all the official
honesty going, and TO denounce Dem
Ocrats generally as thieves.-EnQuirer.

hope to be able to adjourn tomorrow
but if they do they are likely to leave
much business unfinished upon the
calender.
The anti-Third-term Republicans
are becoming alarmed at the prospect
of Grants nomination and are making
arrangements for a grand National
Mass Convention TO be held in st.
Louis in May to head of the Grant
boom.
The Ohio Legislature, which was to
have done it's work in thirty days is
still grinding and sweating away at
Columbus, though nearly three months
have elapsed since they commenced
their sessions. And the end is not
yet. a
The Blsine organs are just repub-
fishing the speech of Bob Ingersoll in
the Cincinnati Republican Convention
of 1876 in favor of the nomination OF
James G. Blaine for President, but
they forget to mention that the pious
Robert is now an ardent Grant man.
Miss JESSIE RAYMOND has ceased
her prosecutions of Senator Hill and
taken her departure from Washington.
1t is q relief to the Senator that the
Senate Journals show him to have
been in Washington at the very time
the gentle Jesse's affidavit alleges he
was with her in Atlanta. This seems
to be an extinguisher upon the con-
spiracy.
