The Union says:

The great moral lesson which the dem
ocrats have been learning the republicans
is to always get what you can and keep
what you get
We are sorry that the Union omitted the
word "of" in this sentence, as it was I'M
doubtedly it's intention to make sit read:
The great moral lesson which the demo-
Gratis have been learning of the republi-
cans, &c" No other possible construc-
ton can be given the sentence. as no one
would suppose for moment that an ''edi-
tor of seven years experience" with all the
mental culture and scholarly traits wifi CHI
render the editor of that paper remarkable
for his high educational attainments would
for moment use the word '1earn" in the
sense of imparting knowledge Our err
rand boy, Little Argus" knows that the
proper word would be 'feach" Hence
our Interpretation must be the right one
and we give it simply to assure all people
that the Union has finally acknowledged
the truth

During the last two or three days there
has been very strong pressure brought
to bear by Wall street ON Secretary Win
dom and the treasury department in order
to have the treasury come to the relief of
the money market. The secretary is charg
ed with needlessly locking up money, and
that his devices for using the surplus reve-
nues for the redemption of bonds are not
adequate. A good many persons who do
not sympathize with the policy of shaping
government transactions with a view Of
relieving the money market, one way or
another, are inclined to think the secretary
made a financial mistake in the one hun
bred and fifth call. They think that in
stead of giving three months notice to the
holders of the twenty millions thus called,
he should have called smaller amounts at
intervals of two or three weeks. So far as
the continued skies are concerned, there is
no law requiring three months notice to be
given. They are subject to redemption at
any time BY the method adopted the
holders of the twenty millions are entitled
to three months interest or one hundred
and seventy five Thousand dollars. More
over, by inaugurating the policy of giving
three months notice it is probable that it
viii be adhered to in the redemption of
the entire lot of the outstanding one hun
dred and seventy-eight millions of contin-
ued skies, 1t is intimated in well inform
ed circles in the treasury department that
no action in regard to future redemption
of bonds win be taken without the concur

II Conkling and Platt had not resigned
President Garfield would have been alive
to-day. If they had not resigned the dem
ocrats would not have had a majority of
the senate. If there had not been a re
publican assassin there would have been
no assassination. Republicans must look
to the acts of members of their own party
for the cause of the present condition of
affairs. They must not cry outrage to
democrats.

tie is the ground on which republicans
build their claim that they should have the

they bought and paid for it the country

Tt would be well for republicans, while
setting up their baby cry about the demo
Gratis choosing one of their own number as
presiding officer of the senate; that the
democratic majority, which made that
choice possible, was due to the resigna-

Zens shown such a reluctance 10 hold of

pointed to serve on that body. The first
board refused In toto to have anything to
do with the position, and could not be in
dueed at any price to qualify tor the I'M

their last meeting that one man, having the

suggestion is a good one. For the same

In answer to the many inquiries as
ident Garfield to employ DR.. Bliss
during his last sickness, the fol-
lowing story is told: Crump, the Major
Damo at the White House states that one
day DR.. Bliss had just left the President s
bedside, when the latter, in a familiar way,
asked
"Crump. did ever tell you about the
first time I saw Bliss p
OF course Crump said no, and the Presi-
dent then went on to tell how he was on
his way afoot to enter Hiram College with
$50 in a memorandum book that he
carried in the side pocket of his coat. It
was all the money he had in the world,
but, strange to say, he took off his coat,
carried it upon his arm, with the openings
to the pockets turned downward, and, of
course, lost it on the road. When he dis
covered his misfortune he went back q
mile or two, and saw boy hanging over a
gate.
'Have you seen memorandum book q
asked young Garfield

with money in it p
Eyes"
'fThen it's mine" and the future Presi-
dent described his property, which was re
stored to him, money and all.
The boy who hung on the gate after
wards became doctor, and his name, &C
cording to Crump, was Bliss.

AudlGnche: We are informed that
Messrs. Cove and Corutbers, the smel.
ter and foreman of the Varkuff Com
pany, left South Mountain few DAYS
ago very suddenly and unexpectedly.
Their departure is mystery. They
have repeatedly expressed their faith
in the enterprise in strong terms, and
have been represented as very compe-
tent and able men; the Company has
met Its obligations promptly, and, to
all outward appearances, everything
has been running smoothly. Can it be
another instance of incompetent men
coming here to manage the mines, and
that they lacked the nerve to stay and
test their work by firing up the fur.
mace? If so, they have made mis-
take, for as soon as run is made at
South Mountain, so soon will the pros
perlty of that camp be assured.
During the week bullion from the
Seventy-nine mine has been melted by
}. N. Trask and A. L. Simondi, to the
value OF $3,342. Simondi has also
cast, for the stormy Hill, a $2,15l
brick, and from the Golden Cord one
valued at $1237.27. We believe none
of the ore from which this money was
taken milled less than $50 per ton.
