One of the first Democrats in Ohio to
leave the party on account of its attitude
on the temperance question is John Wise
man, until recently the editor and pro-
prietor of the ChiIIicothe Adgertiser, one
of the oldest Democratic county organs in
the State. He has always been Demo

not vote with his party so long as it is

The Philadelphia Record very justly
remarks If there is one thing more
idiotic than the practice of railroad Off
Gals in denying that an accident has oc-
Cured on their road it is their other
practice of Insulting reporter who cour-
teouslY asks for particulars. They never
succeed in suppressing the news, but only
give the impression that the accident Is
due to their own incapacity or careless
ness. Such a presumption is not only
natural, but in such cases is generally
correct. -
The Eoening Wisconsin tells pathetic
story of Dir. Gilbert Wright, who quar-
ter of century ago was one of the ablest
and most respected physicians in the
State, but who is now broken down old
man leading hermit's life in crazy
shanty in Waukesha County. The cause
OF his withdrawal from society was that
years ago lie discovered the infidelity of
his wife, and crushed by this misfortune
he left the State and gradually ran down
hill until now he is little better than the
dirty old man" in the ballad. The
wife has a good deal to answer for, but
not half SO much as the man who would
let such thing drive him to the dogs.
People talk great deal about the huge
standing armies of Europe and what bur-
dens their maintenance impose upon the
people, but it is fact that labor is to-day
more taxed for military purposes in the
United States than in any other civilized
country. The Congress, whose session
has just closed, appropriated for army,
navy, Notifications and military pensions,
all military purposes, with the clerical
force employed on pensions, $lG0, 600, 900.
This is the largest sum spent in peace for
military purposes by any nation on the
globe. For the last year reported,
France, 1881, spent $l25, 900, 600 Ger
many, 1881, 800, 600 600 Great Britain
1881, $136, 200, 900; and Russia, 1881,
| $ft1, 800, 000--all the other nations of
Europe spending q much less sum.
