= In the House of Representatives last
Tuesday, a Greenback and Democratic
Congressman would have engaged in
fist fight but for the interference of
other Congressman. Mr.. Weaver, in
a lengthy speech, severely criticised
the Democratic party for its inconsist-
encies on the financial question, and
charged them with incapacity, corrup-
ton, bribery and forgery. Mr.. Sparks
denounced his statements as false. Ii
ar, scoundrel, and other like epithets
were applied to each by the other, when
Mr.. Weaver went around to Mr..
Sparks side of the house for the pur-
pose of mauling him with his fists, but
the interference of Others prevented a
fight. .... .., -..

In discussing the wants and neces-
sites of the Democratic party, the New
Orleans Times makes some suggestions
that are worthy of careful ccnsidara-
ton of the leaders of that party. The
Times says: "What the Democratic
party wants.is policy. 1t hasn't had
any for the last twenty years. 1t hasn't
been sincere in anything. The result,
as everybody knows, has been defeat.
1t has contented itself with opposing
whatever the Republicans advocated"

ENTERPRISE.

Last Tuesday evening brought us
one of the liveliest public meetings we
have ever witnessed in lola. 1t was
in response to a call by Mayor Rich
ards to determine whether our machine
shops shall decay or be repaired and
occupied at once by general foundry
and machine shops.
We cannot enter into detail now, but
suffice to say that ten Of our citizens
propose to subscribe the ten thousand
dollars stock required by the Company
to be subscribed by the citizens on con-
dition that the other citizens of the
city and vicinity give them dona-
ton of 50 800 by way of indemnity, and
as bearing a small portion of the bur-
den. It seems to US this is a very lib
eral proposition. These same ten citi-
zens propose to donate any where from
81 200 to 81, 500 to any number of other
citizens who will bring the ten thous-
and of stock. OF course this is in the
interest not only of lola, but Allen
county and the community at large.
About 1,5OO was subscribed at the
meeting Tuesday evening, and there
has been considerable: since, though
not enough to guarantee the $500 in
good money. $50
Now let this enterprise be encourage
ed. Let there be no faltering or fail
ing; everybody can afford to give
something and in proportion to what
they have. If this be done, We shall
in !: few weeks have what we are as
sured is live enterprise established,
owned, paid for and controlled by
practical and experienced men, with
sufficient capital to back it up. If it
be not done, then we shall soon behold
the splendid structure built but a few
years ago at a cost of Si5, 600 iii ruins
an ugly barn acal upon the fair face of
our city.

Dec. 18th, in rather peculiar manner,
viz: A dance took place under the
management of some of the boys of

alton of which it is due to myself and
others to state that it was arranged
without my consent or knowledge, and
against the wishes of several persons
in the district. An explanation has
been given by the other members Of

In taking charge of THE REGISTER
we presume it will be expected of us
that we make our bow to the public
as such is the usual custOm-and state
what the new management purpose
doing. This we will do briefly: ...
THE REGISTER will continue to adj
vocate the principles and work for the
success of the Republican party. We
will make it leading feature of the
paper in the future, as it has been in
the past, to give the current local
news of our town and county. 1t will
give its hearty support to all just
measures and enterprises for the build
ing up of our town and county, and
will encourage as best it can the devel-
opment of all our resources. The new
management desire that THE REGIS
TER shall be ''independent in all
things, neutral in nothing" and that
it shall advocate whatever it approves
i'm such consistent and fair manner as
to receive the support and encourage
ment of all those who agree with it,
and to merit the respect of those who
differ from il.
The business of the Office will be
transacted, and the paper published,
under the firm name of REGISTER
PUBLISHING COMPANY and its edi-
torial management will be under the
control of w. G.. Allison. The bust
ness management for the present, will
be in the hands of III. A. Perkins, who
is authorized to sign all necessary
papers.
We wish our readers, one and all, a
Merry Christmas and Happy New
Years, and hope our enterprise may
prove to be one of interest to them and
of profit to ourselves. o.. =.

The reasons for our action in dispOs-
ing of THE REGISTER, do not in any
way concern the general public, but it
is due to that portion who have aided
us in the past, to return to them, all we
ran at present, our heartfelt thanks.
And to our friends, one and all, we
pledge, in future years, should oppor-
tunity offer, our assistance in any laud-
able undertaking. Many errors have
doubtless been made during our con-
nection with the paper, but we can
only claim i'm self-defense that our aim
has been to fearlessly represent that
which we thought right.
Taking hold of the paper few years
ago, we found it not in thriving con-
dition. The circulation was not large,
and the material not of the best. By
persistent work, and aided by many
friends, we have more than doubled
the circulation, replaced old material
by. new, and twice enlarged the paper.
1t has been hard, but to us, pleasant
work.
We would urge upon the people of
the county, more particularly of lola,
to aid in all possible ways, the good
fortune of their home paper Encour-
age it all you can, say all the good
words you can, and overlook all the
petty faults that may appear to your
eyes. One good paper is worth a dozen
halfstaryed ones. Support the one
you have: and when demanded, Others
will start without pledges OF support.
In conclusion, to our friends -
THANKS. To those OF opposite feeling
we remain among you. Hoping that
THE REGISTER may continue to inn
prove, and keep pace with the ultimate
future of lola, we remain, Respt.,

What a Washington Bank Cashier Found
in a Dusty Pigeon Hole.

The cashier OF one OF the oldest of the Washing
ton, d. { banks while searching a few DAYS ago
for some misald papers, found in of the dusty
pigeon holes OF the bank vault a sealed envelope
which was marked with the name of former
member of Congress from one OF the New England
States.
This gentleman, who was noted during the war
for his unseltsh patriotism and untirng devotion
to the welfare Of our soldiers died in Washington
during the spring OF 1865. His son, who
holds high rank in the army, sent for when
the above discovery made and the seal was
broken whereupon there were disclosed several
L. S l0-40 coupon bonds for one thousand dollars
each.
The bonds bore evidence of having been issued
IN 1864, and, as the coupons were intact it was
evident that the patriotic owner had retrained from
claiming any portion of the interest as it matured
However, the son, now that the finances are npon
tirmer footing, had no such scruples, and vending
his way across the street to the Treasury, calmly
asked the interest clerk to cut off and cash few
coupons. The interest, without even compound
ing, nearly equalled the principal, and the sur
prised and pleased owner is now probably looking
for a snl,abe investment for his windfa
