Is There a Panic Impending!

The statement of Jay Gould some
weeks since that the present era of wild
speculation would result in panic and
consequent depression in trade has been
widely commented on, and opinions
differ as to whether he is a true or false
prophet. That many of the present wild
speculations will fall and involve many
in ruin unquestionable, but that the ruin
should become general and involve al
most every one we do not believe. After
such an era of prosperity as we have
been passing through reaction is bound
to come, and those who have flown their
kite too high will see it break loose from
them, and beyond their control. Dur
ing the years of depression from 1878 to
1878 money was boarded up in almost
countless amounts, and capitalists feared
to invest it. When affairs changed, and
the "boom" set in, capital sought invest
ments of all kinds. The millions of capl
tai that had been locked up for years
sought investment, and there was more
money than could find employment in
legitimate business ventures. When the
field of legitimate business of all kinds
was taken up, the balance of the money
left still sought investment, and the re
suit is that many things are over done.
People who had money were as anxious
to have it invested as they had been anx-
ious to hoard it before, and the result is
that many injudicious investments have
been made, and some wild speculations
INDUCED in. These latter must necessari-
ly fall, sooner or laler, and with their
failures the legitimate business Of the
country will suffer somewhat, but we do
not believe that there will be any general
disaster. Times may close again, but
there is no reason to believe that we will
pass through such a series of years as
those following the panic of 1878. The
country has all the elements of prosperi-
ty-good crops and a good foreign de-
mand for them, and as long as this con-
tinues there can be no very hard times.
The bursting of speculative bubbles will
carry fortunes with them, but those
venturing their property in this manner
must take the chances. The legitimate
business of the country is in but little
danger, and we believe our prosperity
will continue for number of years.

A Democrats Opinion Of Thomas C,
Platts

The Oswego Palladium in referring to
the nomination of Thomas G. Platt for
Senator, by the New York Republican
caucus, says:
His election to that office on Tuesday
next is a foregone conclusion. 1t will
be a disgrace to the State of New York.
Platt is third rate local politician, a
lackey of Conkling's; a packer of eau
cuses and conventions; a distributor of
corruption money for the machine; a
cunning, unscrupulous trickster, and,
probably, the most obnoxious man to the
intelligence and decency of the Republi-
can party that Conkling could have Sc
lected. Indeed it is scarcely to be doubted
that Conkling chose him because of those
marked qualities, and because he could
not have fixed upon man who would
more thoroughly outrage the sensibilities
of the antimachine republicans. He first
found out which among the machine
candidates would be the most offensive
to the ants, and then deliberately
rammed him down their throats. Platt
will be as senator, what he has always
been in all his political relations, tool
of Conkling and chief scullioD of the ma
chine.

Nen-Partisan Humbug,

Governor Fosters assertion in his Mes
sage that in his appointments he has
sought to exclude mere partisan reasons,
is cheeky in view of the facts. Governor
Foster has made no appointments that
were not made to fulfill partisan ends.
The pretense of reorganizing the public
institutions of the State was set up as a
shield to cover partisan grab for spoils,
and nobody knows that better than Mr..
Foster The state public institutions are
almost without exception in the hands of
the Republican party from the head Of
fetal down, and this as result of Gov
ernor Fosters non partisan appointments.
The assertion that they were reorganized
in the interest of better administration
and because Ito quote to Governor) pub
lie sentiment demand it, is sickle non
sense and shambling hypocrisy. Public
sentiment, demanded no such thing,
but hungry and needy Republican place
hunters did. Tke institutions were
reofganized to turn Democrats out and
put Republicans in and that fact IS well
known toSeverybody. But then it is in
the nature o. the Republican party to be
dishonest as well as INSCRIPTIONS. =

A Horrlfying Spectacle-A Mother
and Father Witness the Burning
of Their Children, Unable to Res
cue Them.

ROCHESTER,, IND, January 13.-At two
O'Clock this morning there was an ex-
tremely distressing holocaust on the
west bank of Hemlock Lake, thirty five
miles south of Rochester. The family of
James 0. Buckley farmer, were aroused
from their slumbsrs by the kicking of a
colt in the stable. Buckley, his wife and
four children were in bed downstairs.
Two of their children, boy aged eight.
and girl ten years old, were asleep
upstairs.
The six persons on the ground floor
had barely time when awakened to es-
cape with their lives and few bedclothes
around them from their house, which
was enveloped in flames. The house and
every thing remaining in it, including
the two sleeping children upstairs. were
burned to ashes.
The frantic parents and brothers and
sisters of the fated children were power
less in their endeavors to rescue them.
They heard their piteous cries when they
awakened surrounded by flames, but had
to stand and witness the burning mass
fall down and crumble with the two
bodies.
They were four miles from any vii
lage, and no help could reach them.
Besides the creInated children, all the
wearing apparel of the family. $500 in
money and lot of grain in the barn
were consumed in the fire. 1t originated
from a defective chimney flue.

The Pool Law.

A we'll known Cincinnati turfman
says: "This law will either kill racing
in OHIO for 1881 or give us the best series
of trotting meetings we have ever had.
1t will break up the purse system which
has had much to do with fixing races.
Istead of giving purses to one good horse
and three poor, we have sweepstake races
and the money will go to the best horses
because associations being deprived of a
share in the pool boxes can not offer SO
much money and the great inducement
to dishonesty will be taken away and
every rascal on the turf will steer clear
of Ohio, or if he comes here he will come
to let his horse 60. The suppression Of
poll selling will not prevent betting but
the better will handle his own money and
not have to pay money to a middle
man.

Defaulter to his Partner.

TIFFIN, o., Jan. 15.-Gerald E. Sulli,
van who was for. some time law partner
with Harrison Noble, of this city, has
been arrested upon the charge of embez-
element, preferred by Mr. Noble. In an
interview at the Jail, Mr.. Sullivan was
found very much troubled and almost
heartbroken. In answer to the question
of what he meant by his past transaction,
his response was that he did not know;
whiskey was the cause. 1t seems that
he had expended, while under the influ.
ence of liquor, some of the firms funds,
which he could not, or did not replace. Mr.
Sullivan has heretofore borne good rep
utation, and is one of the most talented
young men of this city, but this has
struck terrible blow on his family
What disposition will be made of the
case is hard to tell, as Mr.. Noble is pret
ty hard man to deal with under sucf
circumstances.

HOW TO EMPTY AN OVERFLOW
ING TREASURY.

1t is not often that q Government re-

ing ON its citizens for cash by actually
distributing money amongst them, SO
many dollars and cents to the head. The
beneficence of the body polite to its con.
stituent members very rarely take the
special form of direct pecuniary gifts to
individuals. There have been instances
in history of such gratuities, and current
exa nples of them are found in the pen
sion systems of the United States and
other countries. In all these cases, how
ever, the beneficiaries of the public
bounty in the shape of money are certain
spec flied persons in the community.
1t happened in 1886 that there was an
actual per capita distribution of Govern.
ment funds in some Of the States of the
Union. The National Treasury that year
divided among the twenty six States,
nominally as loan but virtually as gift.
what was known as the surplus revenue.
Some of the States made it the founda-
ton of school fund, and Others disposed
of their apportionment in some either
way. Theamount allotted to Maine was
about $1,000,000. This was considered
by the Pine Tree legislators as belonging
to the people Individually rather than
collectively, and that construction was
literally carried out by sending to every
body in the State the sum of $2.40. The
payment was not limited to the heads of
families or householders, but took in oil
the women and children of Maine, as well
as the llen who could bear arms or vote.
Many middle-aged persons, who were at
that time small boys in their first pair of
boots or little misses in pantaletts, vivid
ly recall the receipt of their share of the
munitlcence of paternal Government.
To some it was the foundation of for
tune realized in after life, and it was to
all patriotic inspiration of no insignifi-
cant or evanescent potency, as the annals
of TIVE subsequent wars bear record.
Time has greatly changed since those
good old days of Andrew Jackson and
strict constitutional construction. A
matter of $28, 900, 600 surplus in the Fed.
eral Treasury would now be deemed too
trifiing to make fuss about. AS it hap.
pens, however, we have not even that
much, and there is no probability that
this generation or the next will ever see
an embarrassment of riches in the gener.
al exchequer. The balance is on the
other side We have attained to the ma.
tional blessing of national debt of 60
magnificent proportions as that it is like
ly to stay BY us as a convenient and safe
fund for investment for many q long

crude and simple methods of the fathers
and are in the full flow of new and won

There is law enough now on the stat
ute books to close every saloon in the
State, on Sunday and every other day, if
enforced. Why multiply such statutes?
Why ask the passage of a law which it is
we'll known cannot, or will not, be en-
forced? Temperance people do not seem
to learn by experience. They have been
fighting liquor sellers for forty years
without accomplishing any substantial
good Now would it not be the part of
wisdom to change the mode of attack
Why not fight intemperance forachange?
WHY not make criminal, rather than
a hero, of drunkard? Drunkenness may
