In a Stew.

The Republican party OF Ohio is in
close quarters. Two wears ago. when
the organized Temperance strength OF
about twenty thousand votes was max
ing arrangements TO put aticket in
the field, Republican leaders said to
Temperance lesders: you want a
local option law that's about what
you want amt it? Now You know
the Republican party is the church
party, the temperance party ana the
party OF nigh moral ideas all III one;
you take your temperance ticket out ol
the field and vote for Foster and the
Republican candidates for-the legisla-
ture and We will fix that local option
business for You next winter" Then
the Republican managers went to the
beer brewers and assured them that
anything they (the managers) said tc
"them temperance fellers' was all bosh
and charged them not believe anything
they heard about the Republicans inter
fering by legislation with beer interests
The temperance people were sost-shells
and their votes were needed or the
ID Democrats would get~the legisla.
ture and send a Democrat to the Sen.
ate, so the Republican party carried
the day. Their legislature convened
at the proper time, and along came the
local optionists with thousand yard:
or more of signatures asking that their
bill be passed. Up spoke the godly
Republican managers and explained
that of course l.. O.'s were aware that
there was Republican president to i;e
elected in 1880, and, if they passed the
local option bill, just as like as not the
Dutch beer brewers would kick anC
howl around and 60 over to those
awful Democrats. Just put it off unit
next winter, and the bill would q
through like hirt. The time tha
was to have arriven, has arrove," anc
again the tenacious local optionist is
abroad in the highways and byways O
the halls of legislation, demanding
satisfaction of the bond, and they have
string of names longer than ever
Ye beer brewers also takes his satche
and the train and calls on the law
makers and makes divers and sundry
threats and so far he Is ahead. TIL,
astute managers have hung the loca
option tail on another kite, and those
not Immediately interested in The fgh
sit on the fence and enjoy the situation
Meanwhile the high moral member
mops himself and wonders what the
end will be, and so do we.--Bmler Co

Coz. F'oRNEY, in his bogress,- dis
cussing the Senatorial contest in
Pennsylvania, says: money has
openly bought Senatorships in the
South since the war. and freely in the
Pacific States, all of them tempted by
the successful example in Pennsylva-
MIA. Money controlled electoral votes
on the same principle IN 1876 in three
of the old slave States, and money set
tled the last Presidency; but nowhere
has the business of barter been so re-
morselessly conducted against intellect
and honesty as in this State To buy
votes in the Legislature has been as
common as to buy beef on the sham
bles and they have always been bought
against integrity and honesty

THERE is a great deal of glee mani
tested by the Republican organs be-
cause local option was defeated. They
are positively mirthful, over the way
in which the petitions of three hundred
thousand people were thrown down
and trampled upon. The virtuous up
holders of God and morality seem to
think it great fun to break their
plisited faith with the temperance
people. They chuckle over the thought
of how neatly the reformers were taken
in and done for.-Plaam Dealer.

UNBEcoM1NG as was his coming in,
the going out of r. B. Hayes fairly
equals it in unsavoriness. So thick a
friend as the Commercial of Cincinnati
publishes the facts which show that
Justice Swayne's retirement involved
lower deep than the Stanley Mat
thews contingency. Hayes, it appears,
wants to set up his son in paying law
practice. To this end Justice Swayn's
son is to succeed John G.. Lee the Dis
trlct Attorney of the Northern Dis
trict of Ohio Birchard Hayes was to
be appointed assistant. Its humiliat-
ing to learn that Judge Swayne con-
sented to hasten his retirement to en-
able Hayes to carry out this disreput-
able dicker. Meanwhile Lees term
does not expire until next March and
Garfield was visited by Matthews to
smoothe the way for the younger
Swayne's appointment. Hayes in con-
versation with an Ohioan, said that he
wanted his son to become familiar with
responsibility and this is the way he
gratifes his parental desire, The ap-
pointment of Fred Grant to colonelcy
from a cadet lieutenancy excited the
just indignation of the country, but
bad as that was it didn't involve the
baseness and contempt to judicial
amenity that this astonishing perform
ance reveals Sentinel.

perfect health to obtain the best results.
A WRITER in West Virginia paper
combats the opinion held by many agri-
culturists, that an open country is never
converted into forest through the oper-
alton of natural causes, and, as establish
ing the fact that such change does some
times occur, brings forward the case of
the Shenandoah Valley. When first
settled, about 100 years ago, it was an
open, prairie-like region, covered with
tall grass, on which fed herds of deer,
buffalo, elk, ETC., and having no timber,
except in ridgy portions of it; but, in
consequence of its settlement, the annual
fires were prevented, and the trees
sprang up almost as thickly and reg
ularly as if seed had been planted
These forests having been preserved by
the farmers, cover now large part of
the surface with hard wood trees of a
superior excellence. These facts would
also seem to substantiate the theory that
the treeless character of the prairies of
the west is due to the annual burning
OF the grass by the Indians.
