THE REPUBLICAN, IDEA.

An article from the Commercial Aduer-

both amusing and instructive. 1t can
hardly be called plea for civil service
reform; in fact it partakes of an exactly
contrary nature; and it's plan for uniting
the republican party by giving the half

manner in which the claims of editors

An Insnlted Democracy.

On the evening of the Convention our Democratic
Reporter started out for STROLL and to find out pos
sible how the Democracy regarded the nominations
Passing the headquarters of local statesman Of
strain of 'music' soul-stirring wall which could
only well up from broken heart. Not being caves
dropper the D. R. passed along, but slowly enough to
catch the refrain:
go, Democrat, and butt your head
Against the garden wall!
Go mourn the fate of Honor dead
And weep for Virtues fall!
oh, weep again those days ofold
That nothing may bring back
When Democrats were never told:
There's a nigger on the track!' -
Our D. r. encountered the sad singer shortly after
ward, and inquired the cause of his grief.
"Why, don't you know the Republicans have put 4
damn niger on the ticket for Recorder"
'sThey have nominated a cclored man, but what
ofit?"
$sWhy, it is an outrage! Even the Republicans
won't support him. But it'll be good thing for the
Democrats for the colored will become disgusted
with the professions of the Republicans, and come
over to the Democrats"
''Would you ever of them for ofcs?"
mo SIR, NEVER"
''Is there man in the Democratic party more COM
petent to fill the office, than this colored man?'
"Oh, as to that, he's smart enough"
''Is MT he good citizen-nay, gentleman and a
scholar ?''
'tYes, but then the idea of Niger on the tcket'
''Do you think there is Democrat in this County
who can defeat him ?''
s'Oh yes, lots of em-but-then-I wouldn't want to
run against him''-
And our Democratic friend went away bewailing
ungratefulness of mankind, especially colord
kind, in voting the Republican ticket For, did not

help would have been as black the of spades,'

OBITUARY,


RIcE-Wiliam Rice was born in Monroe County,
near Jackson, jackson County, o. June 3rd 1882 aged
50 years, month and days,
In October 1929 Mr. Rice with others of his native
County, moved to Ohio, and in the spring $780, he
settled ON farm jackson, o., where he re-
maned for more than 50 years, until his death.
He was the youngest of three brothers, who died
within the last months; john the Oldest Monroe
County, West Virginia, James, the next oldest, in
jackson County, o. Thus the three brothers, having
lived to an old all passed away short time
to their eternal home.
Father William Rice united W til the NJ f. Church
in jackson, o. in 1882, and lived consistent member
until his death.
He was good cit .en careful and prudent in all his
business relations in life, pleasant in conversation
and had the respect and confidence of all who knew
him. In his home life, his example a valuable
commentary on that Christianity which he so long
professed and SO ardenty loved. The closing years
of his life were years of great and unwavering
trust in Christ as his personal Saviour.
And when his sun oflife at last went down, there
were clouds of goomor sadness to chill the soul in
passing through the VALLEY of the shadow Of DEATH
His funeral services place at his late residence,
attended by a large number in the community with
whom he had been long acquainted. His body was
inferred in the cemetery in the neighborhood in
which he died. Thus passed away aged citizen a
good man. confding Christian, leaving to his fami-
w. his children-his grand hldren and friends,
example that should give them great consolation in
their bereavement. May Divine Grace sustain his
aged companion, in all the lonely hours oflife and
bring her to a glorious immortality at last.

A Brave LADY.
She Endures the Pain of IL Severe Surgical
Operation Without Taking Chloroform.
rFrom the Oouricr.1

lFrOm the OOur1cr.l
Mrs. Schoonmaker, of Greek Locks, Ulster Co., n.
Y, had the misfortune to entirely lose the sight of
one Of her eyes, through an accident, and endured
painful inhammatory action therein for two long
years; the other eye finally became alphabetically
affected, her general health seriously suffering; in
deed she was mere wreck, walking skeleton In
this terrible strait she consulted Dr. David Kennedy
of Rondout N. Y, who told her once that the in
jured eye must be removed She quietly but firmly
said; "An right, Doctor, but don't give me chloro-
form. Let my husband sit by my side during the
operation, and 1 will neither cry STIR" The
work was done and the poor woman kept her word.
Talk of soldierly courage! This showed greater
pluck than it takes to face hundred guns. To re-
store her general health and give tone and strength
to the system, Dr. Kennedy then gave the "Favorite
Remedy" which cleansed the blood and impaired
new life to the long suffering woman. She rapidly
gained health and strength, and is now well. The
Favorite Remedy is priceless blessing to women.

ssIt's Better than Barnum's."

From the California (Mo) Monitor:
"Miles Orton's Great Mastodon Shows ex-
hibited in this city last Monday. The
tent was well filled, both afternoon and
evening. We can say of this circus that
it is the best we have seen for many a
year; we have attended Barnums far
famed show and most of the leading cir
cuses, and in our opinion Orton's excels
them all. Mr.. Field, as clown, is hard
to beat. The Orton children in their
trapeze and bareback acts are simply
wonderful. We haven't space to enumer-
ate the many good things of this circus,
but think the ground covered when we
say it's better than Barnum's." Mr.. Or
ton has for this season made many new
additions to his already novel exhibition.
Among the principle features contained
in the present great show are: the Span
ish Circo, Signor Dawn, who juggles with
Burning Balls of Fire, AZel, the atmOs-
pheric phenomenon, Little Allie and
Bernard, sensational gymnasts, in their
terrific descent, like blazing comet shot
from the dread immensity of space, the
School of CANNES, including the only dog
that turns Somersault on bareback
horse, Hagenbeck's Royal German Men
agerie and Thierpark, containing the
monster crocodile, beautiful tigers and
leopards, the Herd of Acting Elks, Luce
ra's Trained Lions, loose on the highway
the Famous Museum, Orton's Own Moral
Circus of 100 celebrities, including Miles
Orton, bareback champion of the world,
Five Great Clowns, the Bicycle Riders
and hundreds of other new attractions,
all of which will be exhibited at Jackson,
Saturday June, 18th.

Can't Learn New Tricksi

One of the sweetest enjoyments of the old-time
Democracy was to curse 'the id Welsh" of Madison
and Jefferson townships for annually rolling their
Republican majorities. In the greed and scramble
for office in past days the Democracy tried anything
and every thing in order to catch Republican votes
They have tried soldiers and civilians-statesmen
and greenhorns. They have for years prayed-in
their way-for ticket composed of Welshmen think
ing in their simplicity that the intelligent patriotic
Welshmen would prefer men of their nationality
even to the sacrifice Of principle 1t has been very
rarely that they could find Welshman who will
ing to down to the level of the
politician, and when they did succeed in finding such
candidate, he has been ingloriously defeated.
Running for Office the Democratic ticket in this
County has become SO monotonous that pretty much
all the prominent Democrats attending to busi-
ness, and allowing politics to take of them
selves. Now, with the Republican majority away up
in the hundreds 1t does indeed looks blue for Demo
cratic hopes Yet the statesman for the occasion al
ways arises. This time he appointed himselfa COM
mittee of one to nominate Democratic ticket. The
committee, - being student of the Welsh Ian
guage, gets it somewhat mixed up with one with
which he has been more familiar, and reporter
may get him a little mixed

Stepping stones constitute the stairways
of life. Some of the flights which we
must ascend, are already built for us, but
there is no royal road by which we may
mount them; we can only toll upward at
the cost of our own efforts, and when we
have reached the top-most step of one, we
have so gained in strength that we can
more easily ascend another. We climb,
not at bound, but step by step; this is
true in the stairway of learning, in the
stairway of wealth, and in the stairway
of fame. In going upward we should in
spire our souls with noble zeal, and let
our motto be, Excelsior" Thus equip
ped, we cannot fail.
1t is, perhaps, well for us that we do
not count in early life, the number of
steps, many of them weary ones, that we
must take in treading the long road that
leads from the cradle to the grave.
In our mental progress there are two
stairways leading from the grand entrance
hall of life.
The steps of the first consist of twenty
six stones, arranged and combined in
multiplied variations.
By it we ascend to the great Intelligence
Office of the world, where we may hear
the news from the continents, and con-
verse with our race through the medium
of the press.
By it we reach the galleries OF fpoesy,
where the perfume-laden zephyrs OF the
South are forever playing.
By it we approach the dimly-lighted
corridors of the past, and wander through
the long passages and darkened lumber
rooms of history, covered with the cob
webs of antiquity.
We may enter the picture-galleries of
forgotten ages, and see the kings and the
beggars, the queens and the slaves, all
alike; listen to the sweet strains OF
Mozart and Beethoven, and the bird-like
voice of Jenny Lind; sit with Plato and
Socrates in the ancient halls Of learning
hear the eloquence of Demosthenes ano
Cicero; ride, side by side with the great
Ceasar, in his wonderful Gallo cam
, paigns. And we can almost be heirs tt
| the riches of all these ages.
The other is but branch from tn,
| Grand Hall, and is composed of tel
stones, arranged and combined in various
, ways. What is most wonderful, is tina
one of these stones is absolutely nothing

THERE was surprise party at the res
idence of John D. Mitchell, half a mile
west of town, on last Thursday evening.
The party was composed of quite a num-
ber of ladies and gentlemen from town.
There was an exceedingly enjoyable time,
the only drawback being the fact that Mr.
Mitchell was detained away from home,
on business.
