The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1882-07-06

Hon GEO. II. PENDLEToN has our
thanks for public documents.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1882-07-06

There is one sign, always sure ev-
idence, of the decadence of a great
political party, and that is its will
ingness to join with the odds and
ends of all other parties to carry the
election. The Republican party has
reached this point, and its eagerness
to bolster up its fortunes by all sorts
of affiliations would indicate its ap-
preaching dissolution, if there were
no division in its W ranks. Great
parties, when in sound health, rely
upon themselves. This is what
gives the Democratic party such te-
nacitv of life and purpose.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1882-07-06

ats choice was the Hon. Emanuel
Shultz q man of whose Republican
ism there is no doubt; a man whose
personal character stands irreproachl
able; a man who as an industrious
mechanic and correct business man
has few equals and no superiors; a
man who knows and feels the peo-
Piles needs"
We will give dime for the ephoto"
of the fellow at the time he penned
the above grandly eloquent and brill
liant paragraph of the abilities of
Shultz to represent the Third Dis
trict in Congress, and if he had just
slipped the pen and inserted the
word intelligent, we would be willing
to advance u price of the picture
to Is cents!

An Uniuue Memorial.

A dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
from Cincinnati says IL will be re-
membered that on the death of the la
mented Garfield the Confederate sol
diers of this city passed series of reso-
lutions which were telegraphed over the
country, and were widely commented
on because of the excellent spirit which
they displayed. Mr.. b. +. Knipe, of the
First Maryland Confederate Regiment,
at present marble cutter of this city,
offered to frame the resolutions in Ten
nessee marble, and the work has Just
been finished. and will be on exhibition
until tomorrow night, when a special
committee of the ex-Confederate Assoc
citation, escorted by representatives of
the Union Army of the Patomac Society,
will 60 to Cleveland and present the
resolutions in person to Mrs. Garfield
on Wednesday, the 22d day of February
The frame is of red variegated Ten
nessee marble, highly polished 1t is
two feet five inches high by two feet
one inch wide. and was cut from a solid
piece of marble. In each corner is the
coat of arms of the United States in
Mexican onyx, and the resolutions
handsomely engraved onparchment, and
protected by heavy beveled French
plate glass. The whole work is in ex-
ceedingly good taste, and there will be
few tokens of esteem for the dead states
man and President that will equal it
in design or sentiment.

HAILED WITH ENTHUSIASM.
Such Is the 0plnion Of the Dodwesille Chronicle
VIII be the Nomination OF Gee. Ciementson.


VIII be the Nomination OF Gee. Clementson.
The Republican judicial convention
which met at Dodgeyille on Thursday
was one of the ablest and finest appear
ing bodies of men ever convened in the
circuit, and the character of the work
performed reflects credit even upon so
distinguished an assemblage While
the proceedings were characterized by
the utmost harmony and unanimity, it
was evident TO all that this had not been
attained through any setting up of
pins OF bargaining, but on the other
hand resulted from the fact that the dele
gates had come together actuated by a
high and noble purpose-to select from
among the number of honored and hon
orable attorneys of the circuit a cam
didate for the exalted and responsible
position of circuit Judge whose election
would place the bench above the sus-
picion of demagogry and insure the
triumph of that chief of all Republican
principles, equal and exact justice to all
men. How well the convention attained
this end, it is needless for us to say.
Wherever Mr.. Clementson is known, his
nomination will be hailed with unbound
ed enthusiasm. A ripe scholar, an ex-
perienced practitioner a just and upright
man, possessing character above re-
proach, he will grace the bench with
dignity and honor, and discharge the
high trust to the great satisfaction of all
right-minded citizens.
Other good names have been men
toned IN connection with the nomina-
ton men well known as possessing a
high order of merit j the position but
to none of them could we have given a
more hearty or conscientious support
than it shall be our pleasure to accord
TO the nominee of the convention, the
Hon. George Clementson.

Not so Strong as Formerly

The Prairie du Chen Courier after
copying some laudatory remarks on
Judge Cothren published in a local
paper says:
The writer by the foregoing seems to
be inspired by feeling similar to that
which formerly prevailed in these parts.
Judge Cothren has always developed a
respectable vote here. He is power
full political manager, but indications
are that he is not as strong with the
workers and voters as formerly. In the
| last Congressional election he miscalcu-
lated his popularity, and Crawford was
the only county in the circuit that gave
him any majority, and we doubt his
| ability TO carry even Crawford county.
should Hon. o. b. Thomas receive the
nomination on the 23d. It will be re-
membered, that, in every county and
precinct. where Cothlen expected the
most help of .'Greenbackers1 and sin
! dependent Republicans. he was left
furtherest behind at the last election.
He expects "Greenbackers' and Repub-
! lican votes 20 elect him now II is ex-
tremely doubtful If he viii succeed in
capturing enough of them. If either
| Clementson, Wilson, Thongs or Philo
A. Orion are nominated, The chances
are even. that any one of them can be
elected.

finme Life for the Blind.

In an address before the College 70.
the Blind, at Upper Norwood, Henry
Fawcett, the blind Postmaster General
OF England, said that, speaking of his
own experience, the greatest service that
could be rendered to the blind WAS to
enable them to live as far as possible the
same life as if they had not lost their
sight. They should not be imprisoned
in institutions or separated from their
friends. Few who had not experienced
il could imagine the indescribable iov to
them of home life. Some persons hest
tated to speak to the blind about out
ward objects. There could be no great
er error. The pleasantest and happiest
hours Of his life were those when he was
with his friends, who talked about every
thing they saw just as if he was not
present who in room talked about
The pictures, when waking described
the scenery they were passing through.
and wee described the people they met.
When with the blind. people should
ialk With them about and describe cv, ~
thing they saw. The speaker concluded
by remarking that there was plenty 81
good will to assist the blind, but what
was required was better organization.

The Omnibus.

The long coach called an omnibus,
with the entrance behind and the seats
along the side, facing each other, origi-
mated in Paris in 1927, and in 1881 it
began to come into use in London. In
large cities it is found the most econom-
ical form of carriage, except those run
ming on rails, for conveying the largest
number of passengers through the
streets. In Paris the public omnibuses
are numerous and cOmmodious, though
their progress is slow as compared with
those of London. One company has a
municipal monopoly and owns oil the
lines. The omnibuses or tn et al
lines are of different colors, and the
lines are lettered from A to z and from
A b to A z. In 1875 there were in Lon
don about l, 800 omnibuses, employing
nearly 5000 persons. The numher ~as
formerly much larger in proportion for,
IN 1874, one company employed J 100
omnibuses. But large part of the ci Y
aud suburban travel IS now carried on
tramways and underground RAILWAYS.
In New York city one was made in $50
and run upon Broadway In 1873 the
number of these coaches employed upon
various lines was 429. This was a con-
siderable reduction from the number OF
former years, owing to the construction
OF horse railroads, and by 1873 the num-
Der was reduced to about 200.

The King of Beasts.

A recent traveller in Central Africa
says: Lions are one of the dangers
between Zanzibar and the great la~,s.
They sometimes hunt game in packs u

against them successfully. Lions never
venture to attack the adult elephant.
aud even avoid the buffalo, unless they
are more than two to one. In general
they donot attack caravans, and never in
,|av-time. At most hungry lion may
spring upon and carry off stragglel
while passing through the brakes and
lnngles. But it is otherwise at night.
When lions scent the caravan from af,u,
particularly if it contains goats or beasts
of burden, they approach and announce
their vicinity by terrific roars. New I.

Children in all the Mormon schools

numerous Mormon element that desire
the Government to assert itself are SO

What the Surgeons Receive.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The state
ments published of the amounts allowed
by the committee to audit the expenses
of the sickness and burial of President
Garfield TO the attending surgeons are
pronounced incorrect by member of
the committee The amounts allowed
are To Bliss, S25, 900; to Agnew and
Hamilton, $4,000; to Reyburn and
Boynton, $4,000; Mrs. Edison, 1000
Steward Crump, $1,000; other employees
of the executive mansion two months
extra pay. The committee recommend
the appointment of Barnes to be major
general and his retirement on that
grade, and the promotion of Woodward
to be lieutenant colonel. The commit
tee has also agreed to grant Mrs. Gar
field the remainder of her husband 5
salary for the current year. Springer
and Blackburn in minority report will
oppose most of the items.

Changing the Deal.

MADISON, Feb. 24.-No. 235 s., bill
10 provide for the conveyance of persons
committed to any hospital for the insane
by relations or friends, came up in the
Senate on the order for engrossment.
This bill was introduced by the joint
Committee on Charitable and Penal
Institutions, to provide for class of
eases frequently met by those handling
insane persons. 1t has often happened
that insane persons will willingly go to
the hospital accompanied by friends but
not with an officer. This bill provides
that any suitable person may be design
ated by the court to convey such persons
to hospitals and receive compensation
therefor.

that he was outgeneraled. and a scape-

BUCKING THE BIENNIAL.
The Marvellous Biunders Of that Much Madded
Bin still Under Discussion.

MADISON, Feb. Especial Cor. Mil
waukee Sentinel: The Finkelnburg bill
to provide the time for the meeting tor
the first biennial Legislature and to regu-
late the distribution of stationary to
members and Others furnished the oc-
casion for an extended debate in the
Senate this morning. The bill provided
that the first biennial session should be
held, in 1884. The point was argued by
Senator Wing and Flint, who supported
an amendment offered by the latter that
the first session be held in 1888, and by
Senators Hudd and Filkolnburg who
talked in favor of the 1884 provision.
In support of the latter it was cuntended
that the Legislature could meet in 1881
and again in 1886, notwithstanding
Senator Cameron's term of office viii
expire March 4, 1885. In several states
having the biennial system. United
States senators are elected long before
they take their seats, and il was there
fore allowable that Senator Cameron
successor be chosen in 1881. fifteen
months before he could take his seat
Besides, the people appear to be anxi-
GUS TO secure the benefits of the biennial
system as soon as possible. The Sup
RENE Court has decided that the Legis-
lature must fix the time of meeting, and
it was argued that the people would APP
preciate the relief all the more if the
Legislature should decide that there be
no session in 1888, instead of waiting
until 1884. Senators Wing and Flint
claimed that the Legislature elected un-
der the biennial system in 1882 should
meet in 1885 and again in 1855. in which
latter year Senator Cameron'S successor
would be elected. A vote was taken on
Senator Flint's amendment, resulting
in its defeat by vote of Ii to Is. A dis
cussion then ensued as to the stationery
clause, which gives chairmen of com
mittees 80 worth, the chief clerks and
sergeants ''such quantity rs shall be
necessary To the discharge of their du-
ties" and the reporters 500 worth.
Senator Rankin thought the allowance
to chairmen too small. Ii they are TO
have anything. make it large enough
for their work. If this stationery bust
ess was n steal. as some think, why
not fix the amount large enough 10
make it more than petty larcency?
There appeared to be wide difference
of opinion as TO whether, under the
amendment, members of the Legislature
could dodge the constitutional prohibit
ton, by drawing stationery as commit
tee chairmen. Senator Flint argued
that the intention of the people who
adopted the amendment was that $500
should be in full for all services of the
members. and that chairman of COM
mittees do not cease TO be members for
the purpose of securing this plumber.
A motion was then offered and carried
that the bill be referred 10 the Commit
tee on State Affairs with instructions to
report thereon.

The Wrong Patti,

The similarity in the names of the
famous cantatrice and the Troy pugil-
list was recently the cause of a ludicrous
mistake The story. as told by one OF
the lookers-on, is as follows:
Marcus Mayer, PATHS agent, stood
conversing the other day with a group
of friends, when well-known sporting
man, who is an enthusiastic ldmirer OF
Ryan, joined the group.
MIR. b" said one of the gentleman,
''let me introduce me to Mr.. Mayer,
PATHS agent
Forgetting the cantatrice, but remem.
bering the pugilist, the party introduced
said, bringing his hand down on May
er's shoulder, you've got d-n good
man. and he'll win the fight
The effect of this mistake on the little
party present can be better imagined
than described. -New Orleans Times
