The suspension of large business
firm in Newark is announced as a
consequence of the little irregularity
in the accounts ef the Mechanics Ma.
tional Bank OF that place. 1t is to be
hoped that this is not the beginning of
an experience of failures due to the
samo cause.
1t will be certainly appropriate for
Congress at it's earliest opportunity in
the next sesslon to investigate the
National Bank system under which
such stupendous financial outrage is
possible. The people owe the banks
no debts OF gratitude for their infa :
nous attempt to create panic in tie
money market to defeat the Wood
Funding bill.
The merits of that bill have since
then been attesied by the results of
the scheme that Secretary Window
borro ed, or rather stole from 1t, and
which constitutes about the only sue
cesseul feature of his administration
of the Treasury Department.
The panic that was intended seemed
to have focused itself upon Mr.. Hsyes,
who crowned the imbecility OF his
administration by his veto of one OF
the most thoroughly studied and
statesmanlike measures ever passed
upon by the National Legislature on
the question of national finance.
Now, if this affair in Newark makes
it suppOsable that these national banks
are institutions liable to be unstable at
tho base and rotten throughout the
details of their strusture, SO much the
more need is there for CODVressiC iCnal
action to discover what there is oi
weakness aud danger in the system.
and to determine the question oi
abolishing it altogether.
1t is net to be forgotten that the
National Banks cOnspired to dictate
to Congress, and it would not be in
opportune for Congress TO demonstrate
that the forces of dictatorship in such
matters are on the other side.-lN. Y

RANDOLPH.

Sof ofiOSPohu0hSS'
Last week while George May. in the
westerern part of Randolph, was dis
persing some chicken thieves in the
night, he fell and severely injured his
limb. dislocating the knee cap. Mr..
May is one of the oldest individuals of
Randolph and has the sympathy of
all in his sutferings.
The schools of Randolph are in blast.
w. T.. Moulton of Brimfield teaches
No. 10, and Miss Kate Laubert teaches
the Hollow school.
The Peter Klein heirs have sold the
old farm to Geo. Beal, of Suffield, at
S57 per acre.
OBITUARY.-JOseph Rogers died at
his. residence in Randolph, Portage
Co., Ohio, on the 22nd day of Novem-
ber, after an illness of several weeks.
He has been gradually failing in vigor
since the death of his second wife,
which occurred in 1869, and of late
years he has not been able to conduct
his business.
MIR. Rogers, better known as Uncle
Joe Rogers, was born in Lime, Conn,
| in 1905. He came to Ohio with his
parents and settled in Randolph on
residence where he died, in 1911. On
this place he has lived ever since his
9th year, and has thus experienced the
trials and hardships of the earliest
settlers in this country, then in it's
widest state. Two seasons he spent
in company with Uncle Samuel Red
field and others, on the Detroit river
| fishing. He was married twice. The
first wife was Miss Polly Harrison, to
whom there were three children born,
to wit: Martin, who died one year ago,
in Brimfield, Richard H., and Eliza
beth, both residing in Randolph, the
latter, Mrs. Conrad, resides on the old
homestead. BY the second wife there
was one child. Arabella, who died in
Indiana, nearly two years ago.
Uncle Joe, for by this endearIng
name he was recognized by all who
knew him, was the youngest of nine
children, two of whom survive him
one brother, in his 92nd year, and one
sister, Aunt Lodusca, in her S0th year.
Aunt Lodusca has always resided on
| the old homestead with her brother.
| He was a kind and liberal minded
man, always ready to do what he rec
Ognized to be right, and in this trait OF
his character he leaves no inimical
feelings behind him in the heart OF
anyone, and he was borne to his grave
followed by a large attendance OF
neighbors and friends.
1t is thus man will be remembered,
not by the evil he has done, but by the
attachments he has secured by his
living. He most lives who thinks
the most, feels the noblest, acts the
best" The funeral, officiated over by
Rev. Andrew Wilson, took place on
the 25th, and the body was deposited
in the Sand Hill cemetery. ~

PlCKAWAY ON PROJECTION.
A Live CorrcspomdeMt,sY Views.

The capitalists Of Ohio are engaged
in knocking the foundation from un-
der the grand doctrines Of protection.
Pending an election, the capitalists
tell their workingmen, and the stump
speakers tell the voters, that the sole
object of our present pernicious and
rascally system Of protective tariff is
to protect the workingmen of Amor.
ica from ruinous competition with the
pauper labor of Europe, and tho low
wages that must ensue from such an
Unrestricted competition. Of course.
the monopolies in every branch Of in
dustry make no profits from their pro-
ducts. They are simply engaged in
business as philanthropists, to employ
skilled labor at large wages. But
skilled labor is net always docile. 1t
doesn't always cut the proper caper
for the philanthropic employer. 1t
often embarrassos him in the midst of
his gains by demanding a share of his
profits in the way of wages. Then
the moneyed side of the labor question
loses sight of the grand doctrines Of
protective tariff, aud Immediately
seeks TO avenQe itself OH its refractory
labor by importing other labor. re-
Gently visited the coal regions at Corn

Company had brought in one body

price paid in the Valley; bat they are

tho protective tariff system, whore
does the protection to the miners come

in the system, and to make it perfect
for the workers, as well as the cspi.

The Government now says to man

petition of cheap goods By an enor-
moua duty" II an attempt 10 made
by Congress to change the duty, by

manufacturer is thoroughly protected.

interests are mutual; bat when he
imports cheap labor to run his mills
the laborer bowls all alone, aud be-
gins to realize that protection doesn't

ners at Corning and the rolling-mill
troubles at Cincinnati will begin to
create some suspicion in the minds Of
workingmen about the beauties of the
protective system.

Parties and Party Obligations.


The New York Express INDUCES in
the following sensible talk upon this
subject:
Ii is an error 10 suppose that party
relations can be thrown aside at will.
Ii party is worth anything it is
worth preserving. AS we understand
them, political organizations are the
result OF combinations between men
of identical purposes. The association
is mado TO give strength aud vitality
TO political views. The opinion OF
many is of more consequence than
the opinion of a single individual.
Hence party relations. If founded in
honesty and the principles embrace
living issues, they cannot be deserted
without breach of faith. The defeat
of an opponent does not atone for an
abandonment of principle. Success
won by political apos,ac is no success
for a party. 1t only shows that dis
honest politicians have crept into .
party for political purposes, and are
ready to abandon it when these pur-
poses can be more easily attained in
some other way. These are the class
of politicians who advise oitizsn's q
movements and Independent cam.

office. They care nothing ior the par
ty, and had as leave disrupt it as pre-
serve it. In the army these people
are called deserters, in religion they
are known as apOstates, in society as
vagab0nds, and in politics as traitors.
They never fail to inspire distrust, and
are usually regarded with contempt
Not unfrequently these compromise
movements are put up as halfway
houses, asylams of refuge for desert
ers from one party to another. 1t takes
away part of the stigma of spostacy
and encourages the traitor to believe
that he is only half way despised. Blu

querading. Very often q politician
gets up d citizens movement to enable
him to sell out his party to some in

shield of independence he hopes the
more readily to play the traitor. But
a party man from principle never does
these things. He prefers to face de

worst an opponent who has the ceur-
age of honest, though hostile conyic-
lions,

ATWATER,


We have had one week of winter,
but yesterday it relented little and
the roads got little plastic, with
solid foundation.
John Stickles has sold his drug store
to Preston and McKonney, of Deer
field, who will take possession this
morning,
Michael Maloney died yesterday
little after noon. He came from Kent
= week or two ago and it is reported
that he had diphtheria while there,
and he did not recover his strength
after being moved. He had sinking
spells for q few days and died in one of
them. A few minutes after his death
a daughter Of Mrs. Holman, about ten
years of age, died with the same dis
ease. Mrs. Holman and another daugh-
ter are down with the same disease,
and it is uncertain whether they will
recover. People believe this disease
to be infections as well as spontaneous
(sporadic.)
The Atwater Glee Club have expect
ed to give a concert in the Town Hall
on Saturday evening of this week.
Mr.. Craig is principal of the school
at the Station. The school has been
going on about three weeks. w. C.
Myers school in the South district has
been in operation two weeks. We
have adopted the itinerant system,
without any precOncerted plan of do
ing so. Most of the districts have
teachers that never taught in them be-
fore. 1 think it will work we'll.
Phelps, Thomas & Co., of Atwater
Station, have got a patent on an inn
proved fastening of dash rail for car
riages and buggies. These rails seem
to be in good demand, and probably
will be used extensively by carriage
builders. They make the bronzed and
nickle plated. The latter sets off a
buggy very much, and they will last
much longer than the rails that have
been in use, on account Of their being
secure y fitted and fastened.
The best article on Church govern
ment 1 have Sc n lately was written
by Rev. John Faville, Of Waupun,
Wis, and is in the last Independent,
Nov. 24th. It is sensible. 1t is what
many out of the church can endorse.
He says the Methodists should look to
the New Testament and not to John
W. sley for their doctrines. In other
words, 1.-the power to construe and
apply law is confessed to be greater
than that of the legislator" That
the living church has rights, and that
legislation must be for the sons, not
the fathers, God bless them) of Meth.
odism." 1t means the Church should
be run in the interest Of people now
living, and not in the interest of those
who died nearly century ago. Ifany
conversions are made they must be
from people who are alive, and liv-
ing church can say how it shall be
done. And Furthermore, he says DIR.
Thomas should be allowed to come
back into the church. All this looks
plausible. and every new interpreta-
tion we get of the scripture, should
have its place in the discipline of the
church. And if other Biblical schol-
ars think as DIR. Thomas does, how can
the uneducated ministers turn him
out? q give it up" w.
