TRAMPs IN A HAYsTACK
The Experience OF Carson
Valley Rancher.

! vHIley h3nCner.
About two weeks ago thre
tramps applied at Meyers ranc
in Carson Valley, for food an
lodging. They were exception
ally dirty as to attire, but di
not seem to be dangerous. The
were given a liberal supply c
bread, meat and milk, and il
the course of fifteen minutes de
voured enough provender t
have supplied an ordinary fam.
lily for a week. 1t was nigh
when they finished their mea
and they asked permission t,
sleep in the hay. The kind
hearted rancher granted them
permission and they retired fol
the night. In the morning they
were nowhere to be seen and
the farmer congratulated him
self that he was rid of his I'M
welcome guests. Ever since
that time, however, he became
aware Of a mysterious disap-
pearance of supplies from
around his premises. The in
ventOry Of chickens grew beau
tifuily less, and finally a calf dis
appeared. He was at a loss to
account for these depredations
at first and finally concluded that
the wildcats had rified the
chicken roost and that a bear
had appropriated the calf. On
Thursday last he went out to
where there were several hay
stacks in the field and his bull
dog, which was a few yards
ahead, suddenly began to tun-
mel into one Ct the stacks. He
made the hay fly for few sec
onds and then disappeared. A
later the farmer was
astonished to hear ye]ls of pain
from the inside of the stack and
he dome Of hay swayed back
and forth a few minutes as if
nit with a cyclone and then col
apsed. For a few minutes
everything seemed shaken up
md then the dog came out with
/ man in his teeth. 1t was one
If the tramps and the dog had
lin foul. Dog and man were
by the hay, but the
log didn't need to see in order
O stick to his work. 1t took
hree of the sturdy peasantry
O save the tramp's life. Seeing
hat the other two were not in
he stack, the farmer concluded
hat they would return, and
ying the tramp up in a Germ
he'd he propped the hay stack
Up with poles and left every
hing just as it was, except that
le tied the bull dog inside with |
small cord which was liable |
0 break when he got excited. !
The rancher's surmises were |
orrect, for after nightfall the
wo tramps came back and
into the hay stack.
Are you there, Gully ?" said
ne, and when they were fairly |
inside the dog started in with I
lis meal. The old stack came
lown again and the rancher's
amily came out to see the fun
y moonlight. The dog was
ast seen chasing two half naked
nen over the hills, and they |
iberated the third man to keep
hem company. An investiga-
ion showed that the tramps had
cen sleeping in the hay stack
nd living on the produce of the
ountry. They had killed the
alf and had roasted it, up in
he woods about half a mile
rom the ranch. BY this time
hey are looking for quarters in
Voodford's canyon. |

D. MAcKLEY:-Your paper of this
date received and the complimentary
notices referring to myself noted
Your intimation that do not know
how to spell is "the unkindest cut of
all" as l rather pride myself on that
accomplishment, and as it is about all
the one claim to have [ shall not
yield the point without struggle. If
you had said that Brigham was a
wretched penman should have plead
guilty as every one Of my correspond
ents would have testified against me
if issue was raised. Of course the
word reed is an abreviation of receiv-
ed, and "cuss" was the word | intend
ed to use, and [ think while the word
is simply slang term used for some
thing else, it is correctly spelled,
Now, friend Mackley. if | have dis
covered an editor who does not ride
on free pass | shall feel amply re-
warded for the time occupied in writ
ing to you and and in reading your
paper-unless an investigation dis
CLOSES the fact that you never havr
heen out of Jackson county and never
intend to go out. Your views upon
the R. R. problem would seem to in
dicate that such is the fact, but lest
do an act Of injustice to man who
proposes to refuse all bribes in the
form of free passes. [ suspend judg-
ment and wait for the facts. Brig
ham does not ride upon pass" be-
cause | believe passes are given to
Legislators for the purpose Of placing
them under some obligations to the
corporations, and the fact that
wholesale distribution of passes is now
being made while my bill is pending
confirms me in this opinion. Gen.
Steedman was brave soldier, but the
people of the 33d District seemed to
think that possibly some other men
who served throughout the war were
equally deserving, and [ think there
were some other very good reasons
why the people did not want to be
represented by him. If you will keep
it before your readers that Brigham
will do everything in his power to
bring the managers of railways under
the control Of law and compel them
to give every citizen equal privileges.
and cease to make odious and unjust
between business men of
the same town, between towns SINH
larly situated, and against the farmers,
business men and manufacturers of
the State in favor Of western produce
and eastern manufactures: If you
do not know that such discrimina-
tions are made you should post up on
railway management, and then you
will see the necessity Of some such |
legislation as is propose in S. B. No.

Discrimination,

After we had written our answer to
Senator Brigham's letter, we noticed
that we had not referred to his charge
Of unjust discrimination by railroads,
between different places, and different
individuals In answer to this charge,
and all similar charges, and attempts
to meddle with other peoples business,
and other peoples property, we refer
the reader to the first half the 2Oth
chapter Of Matthew. Volumes of ar
gument could not give more COM
plete answer than Christ gives in the
18th verse Of that chapter, where he
puts these words into the mouth of
the householder:
us it not lawful for me to do what
[ will with mine own?"
That settles it.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1882-02-09

tion? If this would be an outrage as
to the farmer, why not the same as to
any other kind of business? Suppose
you and invest $25 900 each in a fur
mace. When we go into the enter
prise, there is no law in force regulat-
ing the price Of iron. We expend our
money in buildings and machinery,
and when we get our iron ready to
sell, law is passed that we shall not
sell iron at an extravagant price.
Who is to decide what is an extrava-
CANT price? Tt would be rascally-
the meanest kind of stealing, to pass
a law that we should not sell iron at
more than $40 per ton; but this is in
fnitely better than law to have the
price fixed by an average jury.
If this holds good as to farms and
furnaces, why not as to railroads?
Suppose you and | invest our money
in railroads; where is the difference?
What reason have | to complain if
our railroads charge too much on
freight? | am not compelled to send
my potatoes to Portsmouth by cars.
The same road that | travelled with
my potatoes frty years ago, is still
open.
When the first paper was established
in Jackson, in the year 1916, the ma
terial was packed on horseback from
Virginia-so the late Mr. Hebard, one
of the proprietors told me. The pa
per on which it was printed, was
hauled from Chillicothe, over mud
roads. at great expense. Now I have
my great power press, weighing sever
al tons, brought from Massachusetts,,
on railroads, at a nominal cost, and
my engine, and five other presses. |
can telegraph to Chillicothe, and get
ten bundles Of paper sent in few
hours, at cost Of about ten cents per
bundle, of 80 lbs. per bundle. I only
refer to this to show what railroads
have done for the little business in
which I am engaged. How infinitely
more has it done for the great farm
ing, manufacturing and mining inter-
ests, not of this county, not Of this
State only, but of the entire country
| Of course you remember the fable
about the man and his goose. He had
a goose that laid a golden egg every
day. He became avaricious, and
thought that he would get all the
eggs at once; so he killed his goose
and only found one egg in her. H
got no more such eggs, Of course
Beware, in your efforts to grasp what
is not yonr own, that you do not act
in as silly manner as did the man
who wanted all the golden eggs in
one day.
Fraternally Yours,
DAVIS MACKLEY.

they succeeded admirably in running
it-into the ground.
One thing more | wish to say. l
have never asked for patronage" or
a claim to be supported" If the
STANDARD is not worth dollar a year,
no one ought to take it. If it does
not pay the advertiser, no one ought
to advertise in it. If it does not do as
neat job work, at as low price as any
other Office, it does not deserve to get
job work. | set up no claims for sup
port but merit.

CAPT. JOHN HERBERT EVANS, of
Gallipolis, was nominated for State
Senator on last Wednesday. Capt.
Evans is perhaps forty-five years of
age, has served as Auditor of Gallia
county, and is a man Of decided ablli-
ty, and consistent Republican. He
was a pupil in our school at Centre
vile IN the winter Of 1856. His
father was Thomas Evans, so many
years engaged in the goods business
in Centreville.

For the benefit Of any Of our young
gentlemen readers who may not know
just what there is in the cry OF 'Civil
Service Reform, we will say that
Civil Service reform consists in abus-
ing your fellow-man until you get
him out of Office, and yourself in, then
stealing everything you can lay hands
on and blaming the theft on the
man you crowded out of office. The
beauties Of this political doctrine will
at once commend themselves.

OF Age,

BY D. MACKLEY.
A common mode Of expression
when man arrives at the age of 81
years is, that he has arrived at his ma
jority, or that he is Of age.
On the 9th day Of February, 1851
twenty-one years ago, the STANDARD
was issued with my name as editor,
and I then, for the first time, owned
an interest in the paper, although I
had been a regular writer for the pa
per since 1856, and part Of the time
had been editor.
Judge Trip and I bought the con-
Germ about the first Of February, 1851,
for $500, and we got the subscrip-
tions, which amounted to more than
the price we paid. The concern was
about run down. The paper had
been started in March, 1S47, and and
during the IA years, up to 1861, it
had been owned by from five to ten
different parties, none of whom sue
ceeded, financially. When we got
the office, there were only from 400
to 500 subscribers, and many Of them
were friends, who only took the paper
to keep it alive" and who never paid
a cent Of what they owed. There was
no job press, and only an old, worm
out hand press. The type was scarce.
and worn out. Now | have more
than three times as many subscribers
as we had twenty-one years ago, and
they all pay. I have four large fonts
Of type-long primer, BREWER, nonpa-
reil and agate. 1t is all new, having
been in use only year and half.
There is any amount of job type, and
all kinds of material. l have six
presses, all nearly new, and in good
condition. There is Bookwalter en-
CINE, and so many other useful arti-
cles that | cannot enumerate them. [
do not know what the material, sub
scription list, good will, &c., are
worth; but if any one would offer me
$4,000, | would not sell.
Twenty-one years ago Mr.. Trip,
who was business manager, hired T.
R. Mathews to do the work, and
think he paid him $3.50 per year. One
man and a boy did the work. With
all my machinery to do the hard
work, I give employment to five men,
and sometimes need six or seven. Last
year-1S81, the actual cost Of running
the Office was s5.O22.73.
When the Vallandigham Demo-
Gratis, under the leadership Of the reb-
el horse-thief John Morgan, destroyed
the office, July II, 1863, Mr.. Trip
turned over his half-interest in the
remains to me, and have owned it
ever since. l fattsr myself that the
STANDARD has been success, both po-
litically and financially. 1t has been
fearless and independent, always
speaking boldly for what it believed |
to be right, regardless Of conse-
luences.
Do not think that the success of the
Standard was secured at little cost.
It cost close attention and hard work
Little by little it has made progress,
rom year to year. Several years ago
abandoned the practice Of law, and
lave devoted all my time, energy and
means to the paper. l have worked
With my hands, doing the hardest
york about the office, when l was not
BILE to pay boy for doing it. There
re scores of young men-and some
der ones, who have no doubt that
hey could run a paper" A good
lany attempted to run the Stand
