Knowing and Doing,

The whole of human duty may be
said to consist in knowing the right
and doing it. God has endowed us
with the exalted power of discerning
the right from the wrong. In the alb
sence of this power there can be no
moral responsibility. Intelligence is
one of the elements Of accountability.
1t is our duty to cultivate this power
to the fullest extent, and make prac-
teal use Of it in all the affairs of life.
A knowledge Of the right does not al
ways come to us intuitively. 1t is Of
ten acquired by diligent application.
The means are placed within our reach,
and we are to make an honest, intelli-
gent use of them. The sources of all
knowledge may be reduced to three,
viz: Nature, Providence and Revela-
ton.
From these three sources we are to
learn the law of duty or the law Of
God as applied to man. If we live IN
ignorance Of our duty the fault is ours.
God Justly holds us to rigid account
for willful avoidable ignorance. He
requires us to make faithful use of
our ability and opportunities for ac-
ouainting ourselves with our moral
obligations. The Bible does give spe-

To the Editor OF the Standard:
For the religious interest of your
numerous readers, would say that on
the 22d of February l closed series
of meetings with the Canaan Church
of F. W. Baptists in Athens county.
The Church has been without a pas
tor for years, consequently the spir-
itual interest was quite low, but is
now revived up again Many souls
were converted to God, and there
were many additions to the Church.
Also, on the 11th inst. | closed a series
Of Is meetings with the Madison F.
w. Baptist Church, % miles east of
Zaleski, in Vinton county. The
Church has been greatly revived, back
sliders reclaimed, and quite a number
converted. Fifteen were baptized, II
Joined the Church, and several others
will follow Jesus Christ in the ordina-
ton of baptism at the next covenant
meetings of the two Churches. The
number of conversions in the two
Churches is about thirty. To God be
all the glory! H. j. CARR.

Dangerous Tendencies.

There are certain acts which, within
themselves are perfectly harmless, yet
their inevitable tendency is towards
evil. Take for instance, dancing.
horse-racing, card-playing, and such
like amusements, and in themselves
they are harmless, but they all have
dangerous tendency, and should be
avoided.
We are led into these reflections ON
account Of the Changers Of Franklin
township becoming offended because
we said that Grangerism tended to-
wards Nihilism, or a want of respect
for the rights of property in others.
We desire to say that we have no
personal grievance against any Grange,
or the member of any Grange, and
what we said was intended to have a
general application.
Seven or eight years ago the great
Northwestern States, including Iowa,
Wisconsin and Minnesota, were pro-
ducing immense crops Of grain, es-
pecially wheat. The railroads in
these States were carrying this pro-
duce to market at one-tenth the cost
Of hauling it in wagons. The farm
ers wanted the owners of the railroads
to carry it still cheaper. The railroad
men said they could not do this, as it
would not pay Then the farmers
combined in secret oath bound Or
ganization, as Changers, and they
were the most gigantic monopoly ever
known, for they elected legislators
and judges of their own kind, and
passed laws fixing the prices of freights
on the railroads, and had their judges
ready to sustain those laws. Thus
confscating the property owned by
the stockholders of the railroads, of
course bankrupted them, and most of
the roads went into the hands of re-
ceivers. This brought about the fear
full panic of 1873, which lasted, and
ruined the country for nearly seven
years. 1t was nearly as ruinous as the
lean kline in the dream of the King of
Egypt.
Now we want to put the square
question to Franklin Grange, and
want it. or them, to answer through
THE Standard: Do you indorse the
action of your northwestern brethren
in seizing the property of others,
which was invested in railroad stocks?
IF you answer in the affirmative, then
we have little advice to give, free, to
another class of people.
Nearly all the produce Of the Gran
gers of Franklin township is consum-
ed by men who dig coal and orc, and
do other work about the furnaces and
mines. These Changers fix their own
prices upon their grain and meat, as
the railroads fixed the prices of
freights. Now we advise the laboring
men, not only Of Franklin township,
but of the State of Ohio, to combine
in an oath bound, secret society, and
elect their men legislators, and have
laws passed that the Changers shall
not be permitted to charge more than
say, 25 cents per bushel for corn, so
cents for wheat, 2 cents for meat, etc.
Why not? 1t is an exact dose of
what the Changers have been cram
ming down the throats of owners of

IT seems to De sort of mixed ques-
tion as to who is commander-in-chief
of the army-the President, or Gen.
Sherman A Lieutenant in the army
was tried for drunkenness while on
duty, and sentenced to dismissal from
the army. President Hayes, it is said,
changed the manner Of punishment to
loss of pay, and reprimand. He sent
to Gen. Sherman instructions to make
the reprimand. Gen. Sherman merely
cautioned the Lieutenant that he had
better not get drunk any more while
on duty. The General is probably Of
the opinion that it does not take two
great men to run such an army as the
army Of the United States.

cifc directions in regard to all the de-
tails of human life. 1t deals with
broad, general principles. 1t lays
down general laws. 1t aims to Ell
tighten the intelligence and educate
the conscience and judgment, and,
with the assistance of the Holy Spirit,
place us under the control of these
powers.
All knowledge should be made prac-
tical. As long as knowledge remains
imperative it is comparatively useless.
1t should be brought to bear upon the
will and conscience and character and
life.
Unless our food is assimilated and
converted into bone and blood and
muscle, we are as well off without it.
1t is much easier to acquire knowledge
than to practice it. 1t takes but a
short time and but little effort to learn
the general laws of health; but to
conform our lives to these laws and
practice self denial in all our habits,
is much harder task.
The acquisition of right knowledge
and the application Of this knowledge,
constitute the great object Of human
probation. We are here for the for
nation of character, for the cultiva-
ton of our powers and the preparation
for a better life hereafter. The only
way to prepare for heaven is to live
right on earth. The man who faith
fully strives to learn his duty toward
himself, his fellow beings and his God
and lives up to that duty, is the true
hero of the world
Let us all patiently and earnestly
seek to know the truth and enthrone
it in our hearts and practice it in our
lives. w. HI. GIBBONS.

IT would seem to require a strong
motive to impel young man, just be-
ginning business life, who had young
wife looking to him for love and pro-
lection, to abandon all hope and cast
himself into the cold and unfeeling
world as a wanderer, to be buffeted
about by the waves Of adversely. Yet
such cases do sometimes occur. One
of them occurred at Columbus, Indi-
ana, on last Thursday. A young
Philadelphia drummer became weary
Of the world, his mind was troubled,
even to the extent that he did not
want to see his young wife again. He
laid down his case Of samples" he
boarded a railroad train, and fled
away from friends, away from those
who would love him, away from him
self-and all because he could not pur-
sue his business and stay drunk at the
same time. This is a cruel, cruel
world!

To the Editor of the Standard:
l am glad to see you hopping into
the Legislature for tampering with
the printing laws. want to give you
little information, pertinent to the
discussion: | was a member of the
Legislature for four years. Two years
of the time | was a member Of the
Committee on Printing, and two years
its Chairman, and during that entire
time no person ever petitioned the
Legislature for any change in existing
laws relative to legal printing. The
bills introduced always came from
some coward who had a grudge against
some printer which dared not man.
ifest in any other way than by at
tempting to sneak a bill into and
through the Legislature, which not
only struck the object of his wrath
but the entire fraternity. If the prin-
ters of Ohio stand together and strike
as you do in the STANDARD there need
be no fear of the present laws ever be-
ing disturbed to any serious extent.
Yours truly,

If the Ohio Legislature desires to
do something useful, let it pass law
to punish or restrain boys from COM
mitting embezzlement. If you send
boy who is in your employ, to the
postoffice to get your mail, and he
opens one of your letters and takes a
thousand dollars out of it, and keeps
the money, you have no remedy. He
came lawfully into possession of the
letter, and it is not larceny, and the
law against embezzlement excerpts per-
sons under eighteen years Of age. If
you send boy to the bank, to make a
deposit, and he keeps the money, you
have no remedy. Boys are pretty
sharp in becoming acquainted with
the law, and they have been taking
advantage of this defect in many
places.

ONE of the worst cases we ever
heard, of the attempt to have the tail
waggle the dog, is the argument of the
opponents Of Gen. Grant. They say
that you must conciliate such men as
Geo. William Curtis, Murat Halstead,
Carl Schurtz, SC. You must not nom
mate Grant, because these men, and
men Of this stripe, will oppose him.
We have very distinct recollection
that these men, and all the other ''liber-
als,' opposed Grant in 1872, and no
candidate ever achieved so complete a
victory. We remember that all these
liberals were with the Republican
party in 1876, and the comparison
between the results of the campaigns
will not encourage the party to make
too many concessonis to the tail of the
party.
We are getting tired of having to
buy little squad of men who never
vote the ticket unless they can control
the entire party. 1t is matter Of his
tory that Carl Schurtz did not sup
port the Republican ticket in 1876,
until he somehow, accidentally or
otherwise, met Hayes at the depot in
Columbus, and had talk with him.
Then he went to work for Hayes,
amp the result was that he is now
Secretary of the Interior.

THE dispatches from Washington
tell good joke upon Senator Wallace
of Pennsylvania. Wallace does not
like Randall, Speaker of the House,
and also a Pennsylvania. When
President Hayes sent the nominations
for Supervisors of the Census to the
Senate for confirmation, portion of
the Pennsylvania quota were Demo-
cratic. One of these Democrats was
supposed to have been nominated upon
Randall's recommendation. Wallace,
in order to get even with Randall, Sc
cured the rejection of the whole batch
Of appointments, taking out the name
of the Democrat who is obnoxious to
Wallace, and putting in place Of it
the name of republican. Now Wal
lace wonders what Randall is laugh

ONE Of the most disagreeable things
which can happen to mortal is to be
awaked suddenly from a sound slum-
ber. How drowsy, how utterly aban-
doned, worn out and helpless one feels! /!
A person who, while reveling in the
beauties Of dreamland is suddenly
aroused to realization Of his or her
earthly surroundings, is apt to feel as
though he or she has not had a mo-
ment's slumber in fortnight. Con-
sidering the unhappy state of feeling
upon being aroused under ordinary
circumstances what must have been
the character Of the emotions which
pervaded the breast Of Mrs. Walters,
of@Hamilton county, Ohio, when she
was awakened by her husband, Mike,
slashing her across the neck and breast
with huge knife, in an attempt to
cut her throat? Mike was jealous Of
her, and wanted to kill her to show
his love. But the lady's ''big brother"
took the knife from Mike, and Mike
took to his heels.

Our Granger friend was in our
Office on Saturday to get the leaves of
his Granger book, extracts from which
we published last week. We asked
him if there was not something in
that book that he would not let us
publish. He said of course there was.
Now we would ask, why? Many
years ago we read in an old book
something like this: Men love dark
ness rather than light, because their
deeds are evil. He that doeth evil
hateth the light, neither cometh to
the light, lest his deeds be reproved;
but he that doeth truth cometh to the
light, that his deeds may be made
mantle t that they are wrought in
God, &c.

SOME two years ago Capt. Porter
ran a boat up the Ohio river and stop
ped a few miles below Gallipolis,
where he landed The boat had yel-
low fever among its crew. The dis
ease spread, and between thirty and
forty Of the citizens of that neighbor-
hood died. After this the boat was
burned. Now Capt. Porter has a bill
before the Ohio Legislature asking
$4,000 damages for the loss Of the
boat, and the citizens of the county
have petition before the Legislature
for between $4,000 and $4,000 for
the amount Of public money actually
expended in consequence of the fever
plague. The Gallipolis Journal rath-
er discourages the allowance of both
claims, as setting bad precedent.

THERE was an enthusiastic gather
ing of Republicans at Columbus on
last Thursday night, at the meeting
of the Republican State Central Com
mittee. Speeches were made by Eg-
gleston, Grosvenor, Gen. Beatty, Gov.
Foster, Adjutant-General Gibson,
and others. Judging from the tone
of the speeches, there were none there
who would not do their utmost for the
success of the nominee of the Chicago
Convention. A general good feeling
pervaded the assembly, the names OF
the different candidates for the Presi-
dency were loudly cheered, and taken
all together the meeting boded no
good to the rebel Democracy in the
coming campaign. With Sherman,
Blaine, Grant or any other Repub-
lican, Ohio will wheel into line next
fall, and present a solid front to the
enemy. In fact the Republican party
of Ohio will ''stand like a stone

Putting on 4 Bold Front.

We fear the Government of the
United States has not been, in the
years past, striving to maintain that
proud position among the great pow
ers of the earth, which justly belongs
to it. We are getting behind; we
have no kings to be shot at; we have
no quarrels over boundary lines; our
squabbles over the fishery question
have long been settled; the Indian
wars in the West have become mere
running skirmishes between squads of
soldiers and half-starved savages.
Something must be done. We must
wake up, and put on bold front. All
the great powers Of the earth are
arming, and contriving new schemes
for the destruction of human life
new engines of warfare. They are
placing themselves squarely upon a
war footing, and watching each other
with eagle glances. They are setting
afoat stately ships, and in many ways
showing their teeth"
1t is pleasure to note that at last
our Government is waking up to the
Importance of the occasion. Reports
from Washington say that the Secre-
tary of the Navy is exceedingly anx-
ious to get some strong ships afoat at
the earliest possible moment, and a
Commission is to be appointed to look
after the unfinished iron-clads, and
report whether they should be finished
or abandoned.
Finish them, by all means! Get out
the monitors; steam up; go to sea;
carry the glorious stars and stripes to
the uttermost part Of the earth; flap
the glorious old flag in the faces of
the nations Of the world; and if we
cannot pick fight out of any of
them, let us pack the monitors full of
brave seamen, send them to cruise
upon the briny deep, until some Brit
ish steamship comes along, runs them
down, and browns the whole navy"
Let us place the country upon war
footing at once

SENATOR THURMAN did one thing
last week for which he deserves the
thanks of every loyal man in the
country. He put temporary quietus
to the Fitz-John Porter bill This
bill is partisan generally
supported by Democrats and opposed
by Republicans. The grand aim of
the bill is to make treason respectable.
While discussion upon the bill was
going on in the Senate, Thurman gave
notice that in few days he should
call up the Geneva Award Bill. After
some little discussion, the Porter Bill
was tabled.

THERE is another innocent abroad.
His name is Garcelon-Alonzo Garce-
lon-and his present place of residence
is in the State of Maine. Garcelon
has heretofore been a sort Of monde
script politician, recently Greenback
Dem ,crat, or something of that sort
He was elected Governor of Maine,
and while in that exalted position he
became surrounded by wicked, design
ing men. Why, the Governor was
the very soul of honor and embodi-
ment of political purity. During his
term of office there chanced to be a
general election in his State. At this
election the Democratic party was
cleaned out" from A to lizard
Then the bad, designing men conceiv-
ed a wicked scheme for counting out
the men who were elected, and count
ing in the candidates who were not
elected-which means the Democratic
candidates. All this time the good
innocent Governor was seated in his
private office, signing commissions fo1
Notaries, pardons for criminals, and
transacting all and singular the heavy
run of business which rests upon the
shoulders Of the Governor of State
Therefore he did not know-he had
not even the faintest suspicion OF
what was going on among the bad
men around him. No, not the least
suspicion-none, whatever For he
said so, before a Committee of the
Maine Legislature, few days ago.

The Democratic party should put
Gov. Holiday, Of Virginia in a glass
case and cart him around over the coun-
try as a natural curiosity. He is a living

form is possible within the Democratic
party. The country was recently treat
ed to the strange spectacle of the Gov
ernor of the grand old Commonwealth
of Virginia begging the Legislature of
the State, in public message, not to
shirk paying the State obligations.
We are afraid Holiday has got into
the wrong crowd.

THE G Chinaman-'the new niger -
bids fair to equal his predecessor i'll I'M
portance, and the bitterness OF the
contest destined to be waged over him.
Whether or not he is the mean, filthy
and disgusting creature his enemies
claim him to be, we do not care to
argue-never having had an opportun-
ity to give the matter personal in
vestigation. Admitting that he is ig-
norant, have we not people of other
nationalties among us who are as ig-
norant. Would the Democratic par
ty of this country have the cheek to
accuse hin of ignorance? Admitting
that he is mean, is he meaner than
men of other nationlities? Admitting
that he is filthy, is he more filthy
than other men? Are there not
thousands of men in this country and
native-born Americans, too, who would
not dare laugh at him on account Of his
filthy habits? Again, he is charged
being subject to loathsome disease
leprosy. Who can tell the number of
young men in this country who can
not consistently denounce him on ac-
count of his being subject to disease:
1t is not that we are in favor OF
flooding the country with Chinese
but that we believe in the exercise Of {
broader, more charitable feeling to-
ward mankind. The time for narrow
race prejudice is, or ought to be passed
in this country.

Ex-Sen. Henderson made an "argu-

the assertion that if Grant is elected

and fifth. This seems to be a favor
ite argument with the enemies of
Grant, but just where the reason or
sense Of it comes in, it seems rather

a few days ago, bringing lot of i'm
migrants, among whom were seven or
eight persons dressed in peculiar uni
form, with red bands around their
heads, and calling themselves ''the

and in other ways made an odd dis

some length, but we surmise that
their real OBJECT in leaving tie 'old
country was to escape from the fool
killer.
