Recruits for The Hancock Army.

Special to She Cincinnati Enquirer.
PITTsBURG, July 25.-TO-day the
announcement was made public that
Colonel Henry b. Hays, who has been
a lifelong republican, has espoused the
cause of General Hancock. Col Hays
is one of the wealthiest coal operators
in the Pennsylvania bitumnous re
gion, and Is known at all points along
the Ohio river us Il man OF great liber-
alitv. lie has stood in the foremost
rank of the republican leaders i'll Al
legany county, and has always con-
triuted largely Of his means to insure
the success Of the republican ticket in
times past. He says, however, that
he will soon open an extra barrel for
the hero Of Gettysburg.
He WAS at one time secretary Of the
legation to Denmark, and has gal
liant war record. His change OF polit-
zeal faith will have Il great effect upon
thousands of miners, who have always
looked up to him iii political mat
tiers.
The announcement of his allegiance
to Cen. Hancock fell like n chilling
frost on the Republican party here,
aud as he is Il man Of irreproachable
record and commands the Inspect Of all
classes, they have not presumed to eX-
press any opinion in the matter, but
are waiting alphabetically TO see who
the next convert VIII be.

Surely that is right. But tie dem
agogue that he may deceive the
ignorant masses cries aloud upon
hastings "high tax hoping to
excite prejudice to an honest set
tlement, when the truth is that
tic State credit men in Tennessee,
who constitute the bulk Of prop
.erty holders in the State, are the
persons who from self interest are
really in favor Of the lowest tax
alton that viii meet the obliga,
tions of any adjustment which
may be reache !.
So far as the reputation fever
is concerned, we have no fear OF
the result Tie people will not
allow such a thing to BE- fastened
upon the State. In some locali
ties and with some persons this
doctrine may haYe Il footHold
but the great body Of the people
are as true to honesty as the an
vii is true to the beaten stroke.

The Rad .cals and taxation.

The dover that controls the land OF
country cai control the destiny Of
the people who inhabit it. When the
real estate Of country and its products
are not bound To contribute an oncrous
tax to the Government, the land be-
comes valuable and constitutes one OF
the chief things Of production ana sale.
Before the Radical party taxed the
soil Of this country and its products
with bondholders, railroad monolo.ies,
bank monopoliCs and manufacturing
monopolies, the improved and amin
proved lands Of the West had Il ready
marketable value, and real estate could
be calculated on rs active capital at
values ne sriy double what it will
now bring. Before the Radical Earty
made the farmers and their lands trib-
utary to favored Glasses and mOnOpO-
lists, improved farms were active in
the market from $50 to 500 per acre.
They are now dull sale ut $40 or 500.
Unlm proved lands are now scarcely
worth the taxes. Large quantities OF
them have been abandoned and have
passed from the owners for the taxes.
About the only unimproYed lands
that are sold are those that the Rad
icll party have given to the railroad
mOnOpolies. For the past four years
no people on the earth have been 50
favored with bouutiful crops as the
Western farmers. The f0ur million
of Western have sent into the mar
kets of the world Il greater surplus
than any one hundred millions of agri
culturists OF Europe For these prod
ucts good prices have been obtaiAed,
and if it had not been for the class leg
islation by the Radical party against
the farmers and in favor Of the pro
tccted and favored classes, the farm
crs Of the West would be the most
prosperous people on the earth. But
the fact is that their farms are mort,
gagged and It is difficult for them Il
pay the taxes. They are kept poor
and the non-producers are transferring
all the profits Of the crops to them
selves and are getting richer fast eI
than any other people in the world
With such an immense surplus sold al
good prices the Western should be in
dependent, and the real estate, I'M
prove and unimproved, should be first
in the market at prices greatly above
what it.could be readily sold for wher
| the Democrats were in power. Put
with all the tayors Of abundant crops
under Radical class legislation real es
tate is not worth more than half VIVA
it was before the Radicals obtained con
troll Of she Government.

REPUTATION.

In this issue appears the an
nouncement of w. l.. Davis as
an independent candidate for the
Legislature on the reputation
platform. Personally. we have
nothing to say against Mr.. Davis,
he is a gentleman and comes of
an excellent NorthCarolina stock.
Ills brother, Col. Buck Davis, Of
Warren county, n. c., we know
well. For the sake Of his brother,
if for no other reason, we have
kindly feelings for WE. Davis,
but when he declares Himself
III favor Of reputation there is a
deep aud inpassable gulf between us.
Personally we may be friends but
on this platform there can benothing
but anta-on!sm between us.
We regret that he is so recreant
to the noble and honest spirit OF
the proud Old North State that he
should attempt to plunge Tennes-
see into the terrible vortex OF
wholesale reputation.
Ills candidacy islegitimate fruit
of the seed s6wn in uardeman
within the past two years. Such
Il result may not have been in
tended but nevertheless. the fruit
age is the same and was expect
ed. Now that the issue is joined,
and it becomes either repudi-
alton or settlement of the State
Debt on a basis of honesty to the
creditor and justice to the peo-
pie, we have an abiding faith in
the manhood of the voters OF
Hardeman'that they will unflinch-
ingly meet and defeat the
schemes Of the reputation party.
The great bulk Of the people whe
voted for the Sol proposition are
not for reputation. They will
be true to the State in this houl
of peril and will not sanction q
movement fraught with SO much
ruin and disgrace to the body
polite. Every citizen has an in,
dividual interest in this matter
and cannot become a disinterest
ell spectator of the deep trouble
threatening the State.
We favor fair and equitable
adjustment of the Debt, on how
ever low a basis it can be had, jus
so both creditor and debtor agree
to the terms of settlement To de
mand anything less than such 4;
settlement is virtual reputation
TO the extent that it forces you
creditor to take only what YOU
may offer or not receive any
thing.
This the people will not do
The poorest man in the count!
would not dictate terms of settle
ment to merchant creditor No
If unable to pay the whole &C
count, he would propose a compro
mise based on his ability to pa,
and the equities surrounding tn,
case, and his merchant creditor il
a manly, live-and-let-live principI,
would accept the terms and the,
would part rs friends. Just sucl
a principle should obtain be
tween the State and its creditors
Fair dealing and right-doing ar
the same everywhere among ind
viduals as among communitie
and nations.
We only claim that Tennessee
should come to terms with he
creditors on the lowest, not tn
highest, terms that can be had
This is the meaning and eXten
OF our State credit creed. TIL
appellation of "high tax" as al
Piled TO the State credit party IS
misnom6r. We favor the loves
taxation possible to meet the de
manGs Of any agreed adjustmcn
between debtor and creditor

ATI0NA1 DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1880-06-18

yesterday the House of Lords presented a
really imposing appearance The galleries
were filled with peeresses From the western
window, the only one undraped from with
out, the afternoon sun streamed transversely
across the chamber, throwing q patch Of gol-
den light upon the ladies to the right of the
throne, shimmering upon the gilded carving
above the seat of royalty, and revealing the
colors OF the triple frescoes beneath the roof
The strong effect of light and shade added to
the grandeur of solemn and magnificent
interior.
1t is estimated that five hundred members
were present at the morning sitting, and, if
that calculation may be relied on, very few
short of the full complement of representa-
tives Of the people must have gathered to
greet Mr.. Gladstone in the afternoon. The
Premier had splendid reception. Amid
loud and hearty cheers from both sides of
the house he came quickly along the floor,
supported by Sir T. E. Colebrook and Lord
Kensington, to the corner Of the table where
Sir Erskine May stood ready to administer
the oath. But scarcely had Mr.. Gladstone
taken hold Of the testament than renewed
cheering burst forth. and he waited for its
subsidence, bible in hand. Having been
sworn, he signed the roll of parliament and
took his seat between Lord Harrington and
Mr.. Forster.

WHY DEARER.

We copy the following from the Elksder
(1owa) Journal. No comments are neces-
sary !; it speaks for itself
A good friend of the Journal came into the
Office last week to renew his subscription
and complained that it isn't as cheap as the
Weekly later Ocean or the Toledo Blade.
Why is it, said he. Well, this is why ::
The Inter Ocean or Toledo Blade have each
. circulation Of from sixty to eighty thousand
copies, while the country newspaper is lucky
if it has one-sixtieth of that number. The
city paper has cash in advance for every copy
mailed, the country paper waits from SIX
months to six years for its pay. The city
paper gets from ten to twenty times as much
for advertising as the country paper, and
doing business on much larger scale, is able
to get the lowest wholesale rates on all ma
terial. If the Toledo Blade can make clear
profit of ten cents each on the yearly sub
scription of 70, 900 copies it will clear 81, OOG.
If the country paper can clear twenty-five
cents each on its 1900 subscription, it will
make net profit of $780, When any SUBJ
scriber to this or any other home paper
wishes to make comparisons in the prices of
papers he should take into consideration all
these facts. Give this paper circulation
of 10000 and it will reduce its price to one
dollar per copy, besides throwing in few
saw-mills, threshing machines, chest of tools
and year books as prizes.

ANSWERS TO LAST WEEK.

With class just beginning the
study of written arithmetic we should
not teach all that is in an ordinary
practical arithmetic A class of this
kind ought not to have ordinary practi-
cal arithmetic. They should have no
book at all. But when they have ar
ithmetics. they should be taught only
the mechanical process Of working the
problems. The reasoning powers of
children are not developed; the per-
ceptive faculties are fully alive. They
can see the hooO long before they can
see the aOhy.
Hills "True Order of Study" is a
good work for teachers to read on this
subject. SUP'T.
The first Navigation Act was passed
in 1851, and enforced in 1860.
The Joint High Commission was
composed of distinguished statesmen
from Great Britain and the United
States, who met at Washington, Dec.
9th, 1871, to settle questions of dispute
between the two countries, the princi-
pal one of which was the Alabama
Claims difficulty. This commission
appointed a board of arbitrators which
met at Genoa, Switzerland, Sept. 14th.

THE TEACHERS TEACHER. -
teacher who stands continually before
his pupils with the thought in his mind
that he is the teacher and they are the
pupils has need to take his seat again
on the benches. Such an one has not
learned the secret of success in his
profession. The scholars are not slow
in finding out such a teacher, and esti-
mate him at his real worth. The more
a teacher thinks he knows the wider is
the difference of opinion on this sub
ject between his scholars and himself.
A teacher should not think he knows
everything, for two reasons, that in the
first place, it is a very foolish thought,
and, secondly, there is no truth In it.
A teacher who thinks of himself after
this fashion always has a dull set of
scholars, and the school has very dull
teacher. There are such teachers in
the world as we have pictured above,
We are sorry to say. They belong to
that peculiar class who say they fin
lsued their education when they gradu-
ated from the normal school or college.
They never expect to learn any more
and they rarely disappoint themselves.
We always pity such teacher. He,
or she, ought to begin their A, B, C's
over again. There is not one of those
brlght-eyed little boys and girls in the
primary class but what can teach their
teacher something, and a good many
things too. The teacher should study
