By the assassination Of the Gar Of
all the Russias, the Czarowitz becomes
the Gar. He is described as a fine
specimen Of physical manhood, about
thirty-six years Of age, and a trained
soldier He was married in 1866, to
the Princess Dagmar, of Denmark.
Whether the murderous scoundrels
who, for years, have been plotting the
destruction Of the Czar, will be better
pleased with the vigorous soldier who
succeeds him, remains to be seen. It
is probable, however, that it will not
be long until every unhung Nihilist
will be ready to admit that the assas-
sination Of the Czar was a very great
blunder, in addition to being horri-
BILE crime. It has thoroughly aroused
the great body of the Russian people
against the order, and should the new
Czar-as is probable-give every con-
victed Nihilist ''a short shrift and a
ready rope" the masses of the Rus
sian people would sustain him.

WHEN the outstanding bonds be-
come due, if there is no law by which
they can be refunded, it would be a
capital idea to pay them off with the
Legal Tender reserves and the tons Of
silver piled up in the United States

astute Secretary Of the Treasury, could,
with the aid of some Of that excellent
fibre paper, and some of that beauti-
full and patriotic green ink, utilize the

CARRYING Concealed Weapons.

We believe there were some four
teen indictments found by the last
Grand Jury against parties for carry
ing concealed weapons. Some six or
eight Of these parties have been ar
rested, and most Of them plead guilty
and were fined, some as low as one dol
lar, and others much higher. These
parties were nearly all mere boys, or
at least boys just grown to early man
hood. They were miserable looking
set, green, shabby, ignorant and
gawky. It was rather a sad and dis
couraging looking sight. The boys Of
the lower class, at the present day, try to
copy after the men Of their own class;
first, by smoking cheap cigars; next
beer, next whisky; then revolver or
metal knuckles.
Judge Tripp read the sections of
the Statute making this an offense,
and called the particular attention Of
the parties interested to the severity
Of the Statutes. For the first ofense
the fine may be any amount not ex-
ceeding two hundred dollars, or i'm
prisonment not exceeding thirty days,
or both, at the discretion Of the Court.
For the second offense the fine may
be any sum not exceeding five hund-
red dollars, or Imprisonment not ex-
ceeding three months, or both, at the
discretion Of the Court. The Judge
pretty strongly intimated that this
dangerous practice must be stopped,
or the full penalty would be inflicted
We spoke recently Of the murder
committed in Georgetown, Brown
County. We have since read a full
account Of the affair in Brown County
Neaos- 1t appears that the murderer,
Ed. Young, was boy Of only eigh-
teen years Of age, while the three 9TH
ers Of the party were from eighteen to
twenty-five years Of age. He killed
two Of them, and wounded the third.
They were in doggery, drunk, when
drunken quarrel commenced, about
nothing, when the drunken boy, de-
sirous Of proving that he was man,
at once drew his revolver and COM
menced firing.
Parents should be careful to exam
inc the pockets Of their boys clothing,
and check the first attempts to con-
tract this murderous habit.

Mob Law.

We have always been opposed to
mob law, or lynching, but we are not
sure that we are right. The pretense
Of getting justice done in our courts,
as the law is now administered, is so
miserable farce, that the only way
to check crime, and protect the indi-
vidual, is the way it has been done in
the western territories.
We might refer to the farce of pre-
tending to enforce the liquor laws of
Ohio, in proof Of what we say, and we
might refer to individual cases of 9TH
er crimes.
A man near Chillicothe, on the Sab
bath day, took a gun and deliberately
shot and killed a colored man, without
the least provocation in the world.
Recently he had his trial, and was
convicted Of murder in the second de-
gree. This was doing pretty we'll;
but the Judge promptly set the ver-
dict aside, and it is safe to say that the
murderer will never be punished.
Col. Montgomery, near Gallipolis,
waylaid a man he did not like, shot
him as he rode past, and the murdered
man fell from his horse and piteously
called for help, while the murderer de-
liberately walked away. The man
died in less than two hours, in great
agony, having been shot through the
bowels. Last week q Gallia County
jury acquitted the murderer. What

The Sovereign State of Kentucky
not only produces fine horses, but she
also. produces fine statesmen. A few
days ago, a couple of City Coun-
cilmen in Lexington became involv-
ed in a dispute in the Council
Chamber. With a great flourish one
denounced the other as "a coward" !"
To call a man a coward, in Kentucky,
is to destroy his peace of mind entire
ly, unless the affront be wiped out in
blood. "The coward met his SANDER
er a short time afterward, and struck
him in the face. The ''brave man"
then attempted to draw a pistol to
shoot "the coward" But "the cow
ard" promptly drew bowie-knife and
went for the ''brave man" who pro-
ceeded to make himself scarce" The
friends Of each are now anxiously
watching them, but no gore has been
spilled as yet.

A GLAss-BLowER at Pittsburgh was
accused Of circulating scandalous re-
ports about a young lady named Mary
Myers. Mary went to the glass works,
armed with good cow-hide, and when
Joe Blanchard, the alleged slanderer,
came out from his work, she went for
him in the liveliest possible manner.
The joke Of the affair was that when
Joe attempted to retaliate, the other
glass-blowers crowded around and
would not allow him to hurt the irate
Mary. If Joe was guilty, Mary serv-
ed him right. Circulating scandalous
reports about females is entirely too
common among the lower class of
fellows who hang around street cor
ners and church doors.

Death of Gar of RuSSia.

About two o'clock on Sunday the
Emperor Of Russia was assassinated in
the streets of st. Petersburg, thick
glass bomb, filled with Nitro-Glycer-
inc, was thrown at his carriage and
fell behind it. The bomb exploded,
shattering the hind part Of the car
riage. The Emperor got out, when
another bomb was thrown, which fell
at the Emperor's feet. 1t shattered
both his legs, and tore out one eye.
He died in less than two hours. Two
other men were killed, and several
wounded.
This was the work Of the Nihilists,
people whose ideas are spreading in
this country.

Chancellor Howard Crosby, d. d. Ii. d.

Some year or more ago we had oc-
casion to notice the performance of
this fatulent humbug, and now he
comes again to the surface, and few
weeks ago delivered temperance @
lecture in one of the Eastern cities,
which has caused all the liquor sellers
and drinkers to dance with joy. This
humbug takes the ground that pro-
hibition is not only impracticable, but
that it is sin against God; that mod
crate drinking is right, and in accord
ance with the will Of God, and is not
only sanctioned, but even commanded,
in the Scriptures.
Many of the whisky and beer pa
pers, like the Cincinnati Commercial,
have published Crosby's lecture, with
warm approval.
Wendell Phillips has thought prop
er to answer the humbug, in the N.
Y. Independent, and next week we
will commence the publication of his
article, and may be able to complete
it in one issue Of the STANDARD. Be
sure and read it.

THERE was one incident connected
with President Garfield s Inauguration
which was typical Of the simplicity Of
our institutions. During the delivery
of the Inaugural Address Gen. Gar
fields mother occupied seat upon the
stand, Immediately behind the speak
er. What tumult Of strange feel
ings must that mother have felt upon
that OCCASION! Here was the boy
whom she watched over with such
tender care, in his infancy, and who,
when he became old enough to labor
performed such simple, rough work as
he could do, to aid in her support.
Here was this poor boy-this indus
trious, dutiful son, surrounded by
thousands Of gentlemen and ladies',
statesmen and soldiers-himself the
central figure Of attraction. She sees
him take the oath Of Office as the
highest officer of the greatest country
in the world. How nobly has this
son repaid her for the care bestowed
upon him! And how hard it would
have been, upon this occasion, to con-
vince the good old lady that Republics
are ungrateful! There are thousands
of boys to-day who have much bet
ter prospect for future greatness and
usefulness that had Garfield, in his
youth. How many Of them will make
as good use Of their opportunities as
Garfield did?

HON. @ Abram S. Hewitt has writ
ten letter to Hon. Marshall Jewell,
proposing to uid him in the search for
the scoundrel who wrote the Morey
Letter Forgery. Before the election,
Mr.. Hewitt asserted, most positively,
that Garfield wrote the letter-that
he recognized the signature as Gar
fields own handwriting. This offer
Of Mr.. Hewitt will probably recall to
some Of Sherman's soldiers a little
incident that occurred in front Of Fort
McAllister, at Savannah, Georgia.
The rebels had planted a wilderness of
torpedoes in front of the Fort. After
the Union forces had stormed and
captured the Fort, the rebels were
compelled to go under guard, and
search out and remove the unexploded
torpedoes.
Hewitt's little bomb, however, was
exploded before the election. Now he
affects great anxiety to find the man
who planted it. The guilty party has
probably ridden away on one Of Bar

SOME anxious person recently wrote
to Halstead, Of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, asking information as to a
certain game at cards. Halstead al
ways gives desired information, OF di
rects his correspondents where they
can obtain it. In the present case,
not knowing anything about cards, he
referred the anxious inquirer to Dea-
con Richard Smith, Of the Gazette, as
a person likely to possess information
Of value upon the subject Of cards.
This is probably an attempt on Hal
stead's part to get even with Smith for
the latter's vigorous blows against the
wickedness of Cincinnati. Halstead

To the Editor of the Standard.
at present located in the Southeastern part of
the State. 1t has been cold here this winter. The
ground roze about the 11h of November and has not
thawed any SINCE There have been several snow
storms here-known ''blizzards' in the West. The
wind would sometimes blow three four days hard
from the north and northwest, when the thermometer
would fall to 25 degrees to Ss degrees below 1t
was cold then. 1t has been good sleighing since
Christmas. But the roads have been filed to the top
of the fences with There about 80 inches of
snow now on the level In the woods it will average
three feet The ice will average from 80 inches to
feet the millponds and rivers 1t turned little
warmer yesterday-but the prospects are that there
will be good sleighing for two weeks yet.
There were 90 days, commencing November 18th,
that did not thaw. The snow that fell the roofs
last November is on them yet. There has been great
deal of suffering in Western Minnesota, and Dakota.
Trains on some of the roads have been suspended
nearly two months. Great suffering on account of
the cold and the want of fuel. The exact amount of
suffering cannot be ascertaned yet there has been
communication with some localities for several
weeks. The people have up 160 miles of railroad
to get the ties for fuel In other localities several
families would move into house and take the 9TH
for fuel. great many houses have been found
since the storms with all the inmates frozen to DEATH
Some, cut off from communication, had to kill their
horses in order to sultan ife There many

Dakota and Western Minnesota that many should re-
ce1ve but little attention. But the ABOVE receive
from good authority. And doubt the suffering is
far greater than reported yet. 1t will not be known
until the railroads opened and communication to
the various points have been reached.
For all the winter there will be large emf
grafton to the West this Spring Western Minnesota
and Dakota are developing into grand country. And
it will be but few years until some of the best farms
in the West will be found located in the above places
