IT is an old, familiar saying, that
"there's no fool like an old fool. "
But when it comes to two old fools,
it would seem to be still worse. A.
M. Orbison is an Indiana man-said
to be wealthy. He is married man.
He married, great many years ago,
but in 1869 be procured divorce from
his wife, after living with her for
twenty-five years, and raising five chill
dren. The divorced woman went to
Michigan, where she resided until last
week, when her former husband went
back to her, and they were married
again.

with the horrors of the preceding day.
On last Sunday drunk man named
Gideon B. Carson, at Waynesville,
Ohio, beat his wife to death, and he
was found drunk in bed with the
corpse. At Chillicothe, on Sunday
morning, two drunk men, (colored) got
in to difficulty, and one of them
named VIM. Golden, received shot
in the head, which will perhaps end
his career.

THE Cincinnati Gazette is constant

THE Cincinnati Gazette is constant
ly making an ass of itself about the
postage on newspapers under the pres
ent law. 1t claims that the law dis
eliminates in favor of county papers,
because papers go free Of postage in
the county where they are published.
Let us see. The JACKSON STANDARD
goes to any subscriber who resides in
Jackson county free Of postage. Does
not the Gazette go to any subscriber
who resides in Hamilton county free
of postage? Where then is the dis
elimination? This whine of the city
papers can only be accounted for upon
one theory, and that is, that they rem
der themselves so obnoxious at home
that they have no circulation there, to
any extent, and must seek circula-
ton abroad, where they are less
known.

A Timely Pause.

A Timely Pause.
Some time ago the Democracy Of
South Carolina hit upon novel
scheme for the practical disfranchise-
ment of the colored men, without the
aid of the whip and shotgun. In
more senses than one, the Democratic
party believes in making the ''nigger"
useful. Yet, while he may be very
good man when considered as basis
of representation, he must know his
place. He must recognize the fact
that ''this is a white mans Govern
ment." And if, after being used as
basis of representation, he shall per-
sist in keeping himself before the peo-
pie, even to the extent of wanting to
vote, he must beeput down.
Considered as basis of Congress
sional representation, there are none
too many colored men in South Caro-
lima to suit the Democracy-but if a
great body Of those colored men get
in their votes, and vote their senti-
ments, it will bode no good for the
Democracy of the Ralmetto State
Hence some means must be found fo1
killing off the colored vote, which
would have less of the appearance OF
outlawry than the means heretofore
employed.
So the Democratic leaders in the
Legislature Of South Carolina, at,
tempted to pass law providing thai
no man should vote who was unable
to write his name upon the registry
list. This was Of a piece with tht
blind stupidity which characterize
most of the schemes Of that party
These men could see nothing but th'
long-hated Niger, and as he hat
been uniformly kept down and de
prived of the means of acquiring al
education, it was thought that such
law would practically solve tie grea
problem Of getting rid of the coloret
vote.
But that law was defeated. TIL,
reason for its delay lay in the discov
cry that in some of the counties Of tn
State at least two-thirds of the whit
voters would be disfranchised by sucl
a law, while in the State at large
some estimates place the number o
whites who would be disfranchised a
high as twenty thousand. This littl'
scheme bid fair to rebound upon then
with much the same results with re
gard to State affairs, as did the Flee
toral Commission with regard to Ma
tional affairs. They paused in tim
to prevent the recording Of anothe
great Democratic mistake" "

JOSEPH SHOEMAKER, of Wintrowed,

JOSEPH SHOEMAKER, of Wintrowed,
ILL.,, sends us a dollar to renew his sub
scription to the STANDARD, and says:
Jonathan Trexler, the oldest man
in Jasper county, died Jan. 29th. He
was born Nov. IA, 1871, in Westmore-
land county, Pennsylvania. He re-
moved, with his parents, in 1894. to
Scioto county, Ohio. He served in the
war Of 1912. He removed to Jackson
county, Ohio, in the year 1915, where
he continued to reside until 1858,
when he removed with his family to
this county, where he resided until his
death.
Mr.. Trexler had eleven children,
sixty-seven grand children, and thirty
four great grand children.
''He never made any profession of
religion, always relying upon his hon
esty and upright character as being
sufficient to meet the appreciation of
his Heavenly Father"
We believe the wife Of DIR. J. B.
Johnson, of this place, is a daughter
Of Mr.. Trexler.

railroads. They (the Grangers) dare
not complain, or even make wry
faces. The Golden Rule, consistency,
their own precedent-everything slaps
them in the face, when they attempt
to squirm.
We think all this has tendency
toward Nihilism, and we think our
Granger friends will see it in that
light, when it is proprosed to apply it
to their property. They see it quite
differently, no doubt, when they are
applying it to the property Of others.

EVERY one Of the city papers we pick up
is filed with complaints about the census.
All the cities are filling off from the popula-
ton they had claimed and reasonably ex-
pected, and the newspapers and people are
charging the fact to incompetency and care
lessness on the part of the census enumera-
tors. St. Louis does not exceed her popula-
ton of ten years ago, but little, nor does
Chicago, or Louisville, or New York City,
and rough things are being said about it.
There is certainly incentive enough to the
enumerator to perform his duties diligently,
for he can earn rs high as "a per day by close
work, and the greater number of names he
overlooks the greater his loss. We trust our
citizens will do all they can to assist the
enumerators in securing an accurate census
ofDallas. The smalness of the area covered by
our corporate limits, will knock Dallas out Of
six or seven thousand population in the count,
but we can certainly get the names of all we
are entitled to within the corporate limits
We trust the enumerators will be up and do
ing all the time. Every house in the city
should be visited and every man found in his
district by IN enumerator Intercepted.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS

The New Orleans Picayune, in comment
ing upon the death of the late Hon. Gerard
Stith, ex-mayor of the Crescent City, after
paying meritcd tribute to his moral worth
and to his standing as a citizen, reviews briefly
his career and his work as mayor. 1t says:
"Suiice it is to say that Colonel Stith car
ried into that struggle all the courageous zeal
of his ardent nature, and brought out of tno
resentment and no riches beyond the graft
tude of city well served His mayoralty
was success. His administration was char
acterized by energy and spirit Of enterprise
coupled with economy. There was always
something to show for the money that was
spent while he was mayor. We recall among
the Improvements instituted during his term
the first paving of the streets with square
blocks. Indeed, in so many particulars did
Colonel Stith distinguish himself while presid-
ing at the city hall that his administration
is by general consent regarded as one of the
most satisfactory that has ever been known to
New Orleans And so can it be said of Mr.
Caldwell, of New Orleans, who put down
the first pavement in that city. The measure
of paving the streets then hal been vigor-
ously advocated by enterprising members Of
the city council and by business men as well,
but there was such an opposition on the
ground of wasteful expenditure of money,
there are short-sighted people everywhere,
and at all times, that it was abandoned.
Mr.. Caldwell being alive to the importance
of the matter and its genuine economy, al
though it would necessarily cost something,
at his own expense paved square of the
street in front of the old Gaiety (now the Va
rieties) theatre, on Common street. The
people, as seon as they saw the pavement
down, began to appreciate its usefulness and
necessity, and their opposition vanished and
the pavement went into general use, and, to a
great extent, saving to the city, and to the
great advancement of real estate values on q
paved street, for all preferred store or q
residence on paved street. The consequence
is that the administration Of Gerard Stith,
now in.his honorable gravein Virginia, is re-
membered and pointed 10 with pride, be-
cause of the improvements wrought for the
city Hereunder, and lis memory is honored
and his name spoken with reverence And
the enterprise of Mr.. Caldwell, in giving the
city paved streets, is referred to as an epoch
in the. citys history of which it has cause &c
be grateful and glad. Even "Boss" Shep
herd, of Washington City, although under
his administration, rings Aourished, and mil
| lions of the peoples money were squandered

he did the capital in the way o.
paved streets and sewers, although

at fearful price, recognized and
acknowledged. True economy is to do that
which is necessary to be done, and which
eventually will have TO be done, promptly.
The longer it is deferred the more it will
cost. We have an illustration right here in
our city. A house, that is a portion of IL.
fell down not long ago. The necessity for
repairs existed for some time prior to its fall.
Had they been made promptly, the expense
would have been less than the cost of re-
placing the tumbled down walls and there
would have been no law suit or law suits for
alleged damage done to goods by the fall,
Dallas needs sewers, must have sewers. 1t is
only question Of time when the work will be
dom. True economy dictates that it be done
now, because it can be done more cheaply
now than to wait, and wait True economy
demands that it be done now for the sanitary
good of the city; that the health of the city
may be preserved; that the veins of the
people Of the city may not be filled with
blood poisoned by the noxious efiluvia and
foul emanatons Of the very ground we
walk upon, saturated as it is, with
the filth that is daily accommodating. The
physicians of this city are alarmed at the con-
dition of public sanitation, and there is not
one of them who will not say that there is
danger unless steps are taken to make public
cleanliness first duty. Why, the entire city
is ours, d with horrible smells and poisonous
efuvia arising from decaying animal and
vegetable matter. The earth is saturated
with this matter. Every rain carries it
through the soil until it seeps into the very
water of our wells, the water we have to
drink and cook with. The accumulations Of
years has filed the earth and only perfect
system of sewerage will remedy the evil and
free the city of the foul contagion on which
its people are forced to feed, breeding all the
ills human flesh is heir to. Now will false
economy prevail and the sewerage question be
laid on the table, or will humane and wise
policy obtain and the city be severed, even
though it does cost some thousands Of dol
lara

OUR article of yesterday on city sewerage

to the sanitary condition of Dallas. Malarial

Others. What 1t will accomplish in tho flu
ture as the handmade of death remains to be
disclosed. We are apprised that one of our
leading firms on Main street, in the heart of
the city, will have to abandon an otherwise
desirable building on account of the fearful
and disease-breeding cesspool of filth, human
excremen., ETC., with which the rear lot now
reeks. This is only illustrative of the condi-
ton of dozens of other places. To clean up
these premises the disgusting matter has TO
be carried through the stores and offices, and
furniture, books, papers, clothes, ETC., have
to be saturated with the sickening smells.
We have no alley ways or rear exits
for scavenger carts, etc., and hence
the great necessity for sewerage. The
truth of the business is there is but one side
10 this question, if life and health and de-
cency are questions of any moment. To the
politician, to the worse than niggardly, &c
the misanthrope, there may be other inAu.
