Valuable work


Mr. a W Stubs has received the
agency and is canvassing the city for
Houghton's Political Conspectus,
which is complete compendium of
the history of the different political par
ties which haze tlourished in the United
States since the establishment of the
Republic, up to the present time. 1t
gives all the platforms which have been
adopted by the different political or
CARNATIONS; the principal legislation of
the different congresses, the notable
features of the various administrations
a statement of the revenue derived from
different sources; thorough statement
of the national debt from the time of
Washington up to the present; and by
an admirably devised system of charts
and diagrams represents the, political
complexion of the congressional districs
of all of the states, the course of the
great parties which have flourished and
dccayed, and IN short, furnishes in a
comparatively small and convenient
compass all such political data rs every
intelligent voter should be in possession
Of We regard the work as marvellous
ly replctc in information and cheerfully
commend il 10 The favorable notice OF
every lcading man.
Complimentary to President Welch.
We take pleasure in copying from
our exchanges the following well mer.
tied compliments to Professor WEIGH,
president of the State Normal:
Thursday evening Prof Welch deliv.
cred his lecture entitled Something for
Nothing" to good audience, who were
highly pleased with it and its author
This lecture is the close observation of
and continued meditation upon, human
life, coupled with the faculty of putting
thought once conceived into pleasing
form. To attempt to abstract il would
but mar its beauty and harmony; but
every sentence was so fraught with
precious truth that We regret that this
lecture entire cannot be laid before every
youth of our commonwealth Some
thing must he given for everything we
acquire, is a doctrine that once migrated
into youthful minds will eradicate loaf,
ers and criminals from our beloved state
forever.-Sumner County Press.
The lecture by Prof Welch, of Empo
ria, delivered at the NJ. L. church last
Sunday evening, was a mastery effort
For an hour and half he held his audi
cnce spellbound, and handled his subject
with such mastery skill that all were
sorry when it was ended. Should Win.
field be so fortunate us to hear Professor
WEIGH again, the opera house would
have To be enlarged to accommodate the
audience.-Wintield Courier.

The Chicago Times says. alarmed at the
growing popularity of Blaine in Ohio,
some friends of Sherman hurried on to
Washington to make terms directly with
the senator himself. But they found Mr..
Blaine in very placid state of mind, not
at all anxious about his own candidacy,
and quite willing Gthat the canvass should
take its own course without let or him
drauce from him. Dir. Blaine said he had
asked no mans support, had urged no
measures 10 his own behalf or against
Sherman, and that be would hold that
attitude to the end. A correspondent who
had knowledge of the interview reports
that THE senator, as is we'll known by
those who see hin most intimately, is per-
fectly cool, placid, and apparently uucon-
cerned about the campaign, meeting all
who call on him politely and cordially, and
never soliciting support, or even suggesting
word 10 regard to the presidency. His
Ohio friends, therefore, are, like all his
friends IN other states, at perfect liberty
to do just what seems expedient Ia their
own judgment" The senator was aggres-
sive in 1876, but it is now said that he was
forced into that position against his wishes
aud against his taste. He will find, prob
ably. that his present attitude is the more
popular one.

The Proposed Bankrupt Law.

There is an effort making to secure the
passage by Congress of a new bapkrup,
law, which will be just to both creditor
and debtor, and If law of such nature
can be passed. which will bring relief to
the worthy debtor without affording scope
for the interruptions to hide under, it will
be blessing to the people. The great
difficulty is in the enactment of auch a
law without allowing chance for evasion
through some technicality. The last
bankrupt law afforded scope for anv
amount of swindling and by its provisions.
the creditors realized very little, as rule.
after the costs of the proceedings. registers
fees, etc., were paid, 1t also gave dis
honest persons an opportunity to evade
their just dues, by transferring property
to other persons six months before the
time OF petitioning for the benefits of the
bankrupt law. Besides. dishonest
debtor, discharged under the provisions
OF the late law. could resume control of

Tariff Reform.

There seems to be a determination to
defeat all measures of tariff reform. and
no sooner is bill looking TO change In
the existing scheme OF high tariff intro
duced, than il is referred to the Ways and
Means committee, where it is at once
pigeon hoIed and never reported to the
House for action.
Hon. r. w. Townshend Democrat of
the 10Th Illinois district, ia one of the
keenest men in congress, and active in the
advocacy of tariff reform. Some days ago
he introduced bill for the repeal of the
duty on paper and the materials used in
it's manufacture. and for other changes in
the existing tariff laws, and it was referr-
ed to the committee on Revision of Laws,
majority of whom are free traders. Some
days after it was discovered that it ought
TO have been referred to the Ways and
Means committee-at least that was the
opinion of the protectionists. and they at
once set to work to have 1t recalled from
the Revision of Laws committee and
referred to their favorite squelehing com
mittee-Ways and Means, The first to
the rescue was Garfield. of Ohio, who
proceeded to arrsign Townshend for what
he (Garfeld) was pleased to term trickery.
To this Townshend replied in sharp
manner and bitter debate ensued. For
two days the friends of tariff reform. led
by Townshend, fought peRsistently against
reference of the measure to the Ways and
Means committee, but it was hopeless
contest, and after gallant fight the protec-
tionists won. and the measure lies buried
the Ways and Means committee room.
Hon. r. W. Townshend is not easily
sqnelched. however. and will undoubtedly
keep the opponents of tariff reform in hot
water until they arc forced to define their
| true position

safe from annoyance from any to whom
he was indebted before being declared q
bankrupt. lie this feature can be avoided
in the proposed new law, and bill passed
affording relief to those who are worthy OF
it, the benefits would be incalculable. The
great trouble is the enactment of such q
law, which, while protecting the honest
debtor. can safely discriminate against
those dishonesty inclined. The expert
ence of the United States in bankrupt
laws has not been very pleasant, thus far,
and 1t must be good measure which will
be satisfactory to debtor aud creditor. af-

Ex-Gov. Seymour, of New I ork VIII,
has been actively working to secure
better feeling among the Democrats il
that state, says that the great trouble i.
the formation of factions, and that sht
young Democracy commit grave mistake
IN fighting for old men, or hobbies. rather
than for Democratic unity anu success
tie further says the ''quarrels among the
Democrats are over old men, and il is the
height of folly to continue them. The old
men will ali pass away 10 two or three
years at the most, and then the young and
vigorous men who are left will find them
selves embittered toward each other on
account of the men who are dead and gone
and VINO were not worth fighting over. I
spent the early and the best part of nv
life IN espousing the cause of old men. and
many we're the bitter quarrels l had in
their behalf. The wounds received raukIe
to this day, and the animosities engen-
'dered, many of them, have never been
forgotten or allayed. L fought bitter fights
over Clay, Cass. Van Buren,, and others.
and before l knew it they were all dead.
1t is foolish for young men to waste their
time in quarrelng over or espousine the
cause of old men. The Republican COM
batants are active men, | in the vigor of
their life. and will continue to lead or mis-
lead their friends for many years to come. >"
Gov. Seymour, has the confidence of every
Democrat IN the country, and his words, at
this time, will command respectful atten.
ton. and thoughtful consideration.
