The claim is made that much credit is
due Gov. Foster and the Republican par
ty of Ohio for the fact that under his ad-
ministration the debt has been decreased
more than million dollars, and that the
balance of the bonds due June 30th have
been refunded at reduced interest. DIR.
Williams, formerly Republican Auditor
of State, on being interviewed on this
point, admits that he had frequently
called the attention of the Legislature to
the fact that the law was being violated
by taking money from the sinking fund
to be used for general purposes; he had
also urged that the tax lew should not
be reduced from eight-tenths of mill
for the sinking fund, and he says if this
had not been done there would have been
money enough topay the debt due on the
30th inst. In fact. that instead of refund
ing more than 100000 of State bonds,
they might have been paid off at maturi-
ty. This, is another view of the Ohio fl
nancial question, and it will doubtless be
discussed when the merits Of the question
enter the canvass. Bee.

Almost Instantly Killed by Picket
in q Friendly TussIe.
Prom Toledo Bee, 1lth. ]

A most distressing occurrence took
place yesteaay afternoon, the only par
ticulars Of which are thus related by a
reliable infer nant, who however, has re-
ceived Them from third parties. These
rumors are to,the effect that Willie Pow
ella son of Mr.. Frank Powell, who is a
prominent and respected farmer residing
near Haskings Wood county, Ohio-had
friendly seziiile with the hired man of
the place. The man chucked Willie un-
der the chin playfully, and in the same
spirit of good humor Willie struck him,
as he thought, lightly across the neck
with q picket which he had in his hand.
The stroke, however, proved to be the
mans death blow, for death, resulted in
five minutes.
The parties were alone at the time, and
the affair was witnessed by no other.
Powell claimE there was no i'll feeling and
that there was no thought or intention of
injury,
\ No arrest had been made. and there was
40 attempt at concealment or escape.

The Utica Observer seems to gauge the
outlook for Foster pretty accurately, The
Republican candidate, says the Observer
--confronts the dilemma of alternating
either the religious Prohibitionists of the
Western Reserve or the lager-loving
Germans of the big cities by the attitude
of his convention on the license question.
The Ohio Republicans have done this
two-horse act successfully for many
years, but the Teutonic mustang and the
Temperance nag seems to trot consider
ably futher apart this summer than ever
before, and the difficulties of stradlng
are immeasurably increased. Even more
discouraging still is the recollection that
Ohio always goes Democratic with a
rush in the years following presidential
elections. These years the Buckeyes select
ed to get even with one another, and the
result has been the election of William
Allen in 73, and of Richard Bishop in IT,
as we'll as legislatures to choose Demo-
cratic Senators Ike Thurman and Pen
dleton. A general impression prevails
that the Democrats will sweep Ohio
again this year-and we fancy that down
in his boots Governor Foster shares this
impression.

A NEW DISCOVERY!
Spiritualism Explained,

- The question of questions,
with thelearned and unlearned,
the materialist, scientist, re-
ligionists, and in fact every
body, is "What is Modern
Spiritualism?" Is tia verify or
is it all a humbug Can it be
explained from a physiological
standpoint and does it come
under the head of Physics, or
does it come from supernatural
causes and without laws or or
der. That the phenomena ex-
lists, is beyond dispute, whether
it will ever be explained re-
mains to be seen. That some
spirits can be seen, handled
and made use Of to a good ad-
vadiase as Wellas explained is
\ also a fact to which all drug
/ gists and chemists can testify.
They need not be named, be-
! cause their name is legion.
! We refer principally to those
medicines through which spirits
/ figure largely as restorative
agencies. Saur's Drug and
Medicine Depot harbors a large
number of healing spirits which
can be purchased for a very
small sum of money and if used
according to directions will be
the emeans of relieving pain and
restoring the health Of the af-
] hicted. This same drug store
has many other things in which
4 it seeks to make itself useful
and to benefit mankind. The
book department furnishes the
provisions upon which hun
dreds OF brains are fed and are
thus kept alive and active. The
large stock Of elegant patterns
of wall and window paper is
another medicine by which
many homes is made warm and
comfortable. Then, too, comes
the many different colored
paints which ale not only a
great preservative agency. but
add to the beautiful as well,
tons of which is sold annually
aid which gives employment foi
thousands of people. This is a
branch of business IN which this
housealso figures largely. Saur's
Drug and Book store seems to
be the depot or store house in
Which everything is kept which
,an be found in any drug and
book house, at prices which
everybody will acknowledge to
be very low. ...rrr

ROSCOE CONKLING
Expresses His Views Of the Attempt
etl Assassination.

NEW YORK. July 5.-Ex-Scnato Roscoe
Hotel. He had quite number of callers
this morning, including politicians, repre-
sentatives of the press, &c. Among them
were Hamilton Fish, jr., and DR.. Henry, of
this city. The ex-senator seemed to
be in robust health, but also seemed
much harasscd by the course of pub
lie events. He had but little more
to say than he had already said for
the public concerning the attempted as
sassination of President Garfield and the
consequences which might flow from the
event 1t was, he said, great calamity for
the Nation. 1t comes when there is q hia-
tus in the Government; no President pro
ten. of the Senate and no Speaker of the
House. There was little more for him to
say than he had said. He, himself, did not
know the latest bulletins concerning the
Presidents condition. He had been
awakened during the night for the rccep-
ton of dispatches but had heard nothing
further since morning.
He was then treasured by the announce
mcnt of a more hopeful condition of Presi-
dent Garfield. The blow to the latter was
a great national calamity, but the people
must wait to see the issues of the event
The ex-senator is strong in his faith in the
future, believing in the strength of our in
situations. He had nothing to commune
cate of messages from Washington.
The Evening critic., 1881-07-05

"They give plenty of reasons why Foster
came ON here the other day." said profound
Ohio statesman of the Democratic faith last
night, but not one of them has hit the
bull's-eye."
THE CRITIC limb suggested that the col
umns of his valuable organ are invitingly
open.
"Well, here it is: This man Davis, collec-
tor of Pittsburg, has powerful
Welsh element at his back Those fell
lows are very independent in their views.
They wear the PARTY collar very lightly ON
their shoulders, and a slight breeze will
blow 1t off. As. rule they vote the Repub-
lean ticket, but you can't pile too many
straws on their backs. They swear by Da-
Wis. He has held the Office for twelve years
now, and they can't see why he shouldn't
hold ii twelve more. Cameron and Mitchell
are both after his scalp. but it happens to
conflict with Charles Fosters views for
this reason: In addition to his other accom-
plishments Davis has grip ON newspaper in
Pittsburg In fact he is the principal
owner, and notice has been served that il
Davis is touched said paper will run
the Democratic flag to the top of its
masthead and proceed to make
things as warm as possible under the
circumstances. Now it happens that
Brother Foster, whose prudence is as marked
as his piety, fails to see the fun of this
paper, which practically controls the Welsh
element, going over into the enemy's camp
The eastern counties of Ohio contain n
great many Welshmcn, and they vote and
Foster wants all he can get this fall In
view of these facts, l make the prediction
that Davis will stick"
