Over confidence is as fatal sometimes
to a political candidate as to a conceited
commander Of an army. Burgoyne in
the Revolution and Packenham at New
Orleans are examples Of the latter. Rob-
ert Burns touches off Burgoyne:
Burgoyne gA'ed up like spur an whup,
TIL Frazer brave did fa nun,
But lost his way 20 misty day,
In Saratoga Shaw mum.

HEALTH AND UNHEALTH-Bichat
says: We cannot buy health; we must
deserve it. John Locke over two hun
dred years ago said: Prevention is bet
ter than cure and far cheaper. Says
DR.. Oswald in Popular Science Monthly,
Prevention is the only possible cure; if
a violation Of the health laws of Nature
has brought on disease, all we can do
by way of curing that disease is to re-
move the cause; in other words to Pre-
Vent the continued operation of the pre-
disposing circumstances. Suppressing
the symptoms in any other way means
only to change the form of the disease,
or to postpone its crisis. Properly speak
ing, disease itself is a reconstructive pro-
cess, an expulsion effort, whose Interrupt
ton compels Nature to do double worS;
to resume her operations against the
ailment after expelling worse enemy
the drug.
DR., schrodt says; Apart from the ef-
feet of wounds, the chances of health
or disease are in our own hands; and
if people knew only half the facts points
ing that way, they would feel ashamed
to be sick, or to have sick children.
DIR. Oswald recommends fasting in
troubles arising from surfeit, indicated
by vomiting, restlessness, etc. Drugs
only complicate the disorder. He rec
ommends ripe tree fruits as summer
diet for scrofulous child and tells Of
grape cure in southern Rhineland for
dyspeptics; living for days together on
ripe sweet grapes.

WHY do not our Republican friends
here publish the opinion of Attorney
General Nash in regard to the non elec-
ton Of a County Treasurer to fill the un-
expired termP The ablest lawyers in
Canton favor the opinion that the law
requires the election of some one to fill
out Mr.. Sullivan's term. This matter
ought not to be 80 difficult as to be a
doubtful question and admit Of two opin"

Gen. w. c. Wickham, the most prom
inent Virginia Republican, announces
his purpose to support the Democratic
state ticket, and the New York Times in
a very able editorial, denounces him as
a renegade ard a 'hypocri'e, and char
acterizes his purpose to endeavor to re.
suscitate the Republican party of Virr
ginia after the fall election, as "a piece Of
impudence that will be appreciated out
side of the state if not within its borders
where he is better known Freedom Of
opinion seems to be embraced in the
Times vocabulary. General Wickham
has served the Republican party faith
fully and ably without seeking reward;
and, as is we'll known, has impaired
more respectability to that party in Vir.
ginia than any man in the common
wealth. urt.a .o.

Gov. Foster, in closing his speech at
Youngstown, said:
/ do not know ofs prouder thing for a
man to be able to say Of himself than
that be has belonged to this grand Re.
publican party; that he has kept step to

The Governor should tell US how he
liked its march along the Star route.
Also as to its keeping step to the music
Of the Virginia Rspudistionists. And
suppose, when his hand is in, he ex.
plains how 1t was that he stayed at home
during the war, selling dear calico to
soldiers widows.

JUDGE BLACK, in referring to the stir
ring events just prior to the outbreak Of
the war, says: II held that what the
Southern men Of that time called 'allegi-
snce' to the state, was an sbsurdity that
the word was feudsl one and expressed
the duty ofa vassal to his lord. 1t had
no proper place in our political vocabu-
larry. Obedience to the laws is the duty
Of an American citizen"

THE Queens speech prOroguing Pars
Lament on Saturday was a brief produc-
ton, the only reference of interest being
to Irish affairs. The hope is expressed
that after all the trouble the new land
act may prove of benefit, and the con-
dition of affairs in Ireland will shortly
be such as to enable the Government to
abate to some extent the exercise of its
powers in Ireland.

GOVERNOR FOSTER boasted here Of his
liberality in appointing two Democrats

Two years ago the vote on Governor
in the state was: Charles Foster, Re.
publican, 1856, ,261 ; Thomas Ewing, Dem.
ocrat, Sl9,132; A. s Piatt, Greenback,
9,129; g. T. Stewart, P Prohibition, 4.145
Foster over Ewing, l7,129; Foster over
oil, 1856. 1t will be seen by tho iorego-
ing that two years ago Mr.. Foster had
nothing to brag about in an ag regate
vote of about $4,000. The margin may
be overcome by good work on the part
ofthe Democracy this year. 3

Treasurer for the full term, was elected
Sheriff six years ago over Col. Jarvis by

ciated as worthy and capable. As Coun-
ty Treasurer he will be equally so.

Mr.. FOSTER in his speeches mentions
not the Star route fellows, Brady & Co.,
who saved the Republican party last
year. The Republican party seeks and
obtains Its salvation through the foulest

approve 1t all. And yet they claim
theirs is "the party of great moral ideasl"

A VERY VITAL IssuE.

At the meeting of the Cleveland Trades
Unions at Haltnorth's, on the goth ult.,
the principal speaker, William T, Lewis,
took for his theme the effect of the pris-
on contract system upon the labor of the
country His remarks were listened to
attentively and elected frequent applause
showing that this is most important
question with workingmen and that as a
political issue, it is one of the most inn
portant now before the people. Mr.
Lewis said, as we quote from the Lead
er's report; .
The system now in operation through
out the length and breadth of the United
States is deep injustice to the laboring
man, and crying evil in the reputation
of the government. 1t was system Of
spoils and robbery which deprecated
the skilled labor Of the country, The
articles of all descriptions manufactured
in penitentiaries are produced at lower
prices than any man who had learned
his trade could afford to work for and
the attempt of the trades to compete
with this class would not, in the nature
of things, do it. The penitentiaries not
only utilized the labor Of grown up con
victs, but turned out armies of appren-
tices who took mems places. .
This puts the case none too strongly.
1t is an undisputed fact that the system
of hiring out convict labor, as now prac-
ticed in Ohio, is not only species Of
slavery that is reprehensible from a
moral point Of view and demoralizing to
the prisoners, but it's an injustice to the
free labor of the state, and highly injur-
ious to the workingmen.-Plain Dealer
