CHICAGO, Sept. 17.--Gen. w. S. Rose
Grams, of California, was in the city yes
terday and expressed the opinion that
his party would carry that state and gain
two Congressman at large this Fall. He
thought Pacheco, who had a majority of
only $50 in the Fourth District two years
ago, would be defeated by Tully, demo-
cratic candidate, who is identified with
the labor movement. The Third is a
reliable democratic district. In the
Second, Congressman Page will be re-
elected by the republicans. Gen. Rose
Grams has no doubt about his own elec-
ton in the San Francisco district He
quoted Gen. Ben. Lefevre, of Ohio, as
authority for the statement that the
Buckeye democrats would elect twelve
members, and that the outlook for a
democratic majority In Congress is very
discouraging.

settlement are numerous, and there is
much floundering in the business. One

OMAHA, Sept 1S.-Two companies OF

suddenly ordered to Fort Douglass, near
Salt Lake. They left Omaha today. 1t

Fort Douglass is from anticipated trou-
bles with the Mormons during the APP

under the supervision OF the Utah Com

Sixth Infantry are at Fort Douglass, and
the chances for war, with the above re-
Inducements to tine garrison, will be
small.

Democrats at Syracuse today. Folger's
political experience and official career in
the Legislature, on the bench as Chief
Justice of the Court of Appeals, and in
President Arthur's Cabinet as Secretary
of the Treasury, have set him before the
public as man of weight and judg.
ment, and he will have the full support
OF the republican party Of the State.

PARENTAL DETY.

THERE is no obligation resting upon
man which can be eyadad or laid aside,
that will produce more disastrous re-
suits, involving the general wel!-being
of society, than the duty which parents
owe 20 their children. The duty is of a
two-fold na.ure-moral and legal. The
former is by far the most important of
the two. There is no power by which
man can be compelled to perform this
moral duty, at least not in this state OF
being, so that if father or. mother
have not parental affection which moves
them to the performance of this impor-
tant duty, then the child of such will
grow up in ignorance, and become vi
elator Of law both human and divine,
and per consequence the victim of its
penalties. Thousands of boys all over
the country are in the broad way that
leads TO the penitentiary or the galIows,
simply because their parents have been
neglectful of the duties and obligations
above spoken of. Oh, how it will make
the hearts of that father and mother
ache when they learn, for the FIRST time,
that their BON, their SON, is in the
clutches of the law, and his liberty, or
may be his life, be demanded to atone
for its violation and how that mother

L0ANISC SCHOOL FIND.

WE publish a communication in
another column, calling attention to
the ruling which the Beard of School
Land Commissioners has made with
reference to l0aning school funds
The facts about the matter seem to
be as follows:
For some time past, ewing to money
being plenty and The rate of interest
having gone down. the Board coHld
not keep ali the school, university
and agricultural funds leaned as bor-
,rewers could obtain money on easier
terms from other money lenders. The
last Legislature, in order to make the
terms sufficiently easy to keep all the
funds leaned, passed an act tchanging
the rate of interest from 10 per cent
TO 8 per cent. and also changing the
security to such loans from real estate
OF not less than three times the val
ue of the amount loaned, to real cs-
tate ef not less than twice tho aIa0uut
loaned. The Board now rules, as we
are informed, that in no case will
they make O loan unless the real es-
tate offered as security is of not less
fhanltbree times The value of the
amount loaned. It seems to Us that
the mere fact that the Legislature
changed the law 50 as to require real
estate security Of not less than to;ce
the value, instead Of three times the
valne of the amount loaned, Il
conclusive of the fact that
the Legislature intended thai
under some circumstances the
Board might make leans upon securi.
ty of twice the value of the amonnt
loaned. But as the Board now refus-
es to make loans unless the security
is three times'the. value of the amount
loaned, such refusal amounts to vir
tuaI notification of the act of the last
Legislature.

81. Democrats
The School Board OF the State consist
ing OF Governor, Secretary, and Treas
urer, have concluded that they are
wiser than the Legislature, aud have
ignered tha amendment made by the
last Legislature to the law governing
the ioaning Of the school funds. The
old law required that real property OF
net less than three times tho value Of
the loan should be given as security for
money borrowed from the school fund.
This Law was amended nc the last Eos-
sion Of the Legislature, 30 as 10 require
as security for loans, real estate OF not
less than double tho value Of the ls-.---.
There were TIVE eijasts in tnhktng this
amendment, ono was TO keep the money
always loaned, 80 as TO secure as large n
revenue as possible for the schools an
other was to remove an unnecessary
burden frsm men Of moderate property,
who comprise the greater number OF
our farmers) who desire to borrow mon
ey. II was often found very difficult,
and sometimes impossible TO give as SO
curity real estate worth three times the
amount that person Inight want'to bor-
rev, whereas property of twice
the value could be given without any
trouble, but the School BOard in their
scisfons have decided that no money
shall be loaned from the University,
College, or commsn school funds, unless
real estate Of three times the value Of
the lean is offered as security. The
pretense that this decision is in the in
terest OF the school fund is toe thin to
deceive anybody. There can be bnt
one object in this evasion of the inten-
ton of the amended statute. and that is
to prevent this School, University and
College funds from being loaned. 1t
was claimed prior to the meeting Of the
last Legislature that there was over
thirty thousand dollars in those three
funds not loaned, and entirely unprs-
ductiye. If that amount can DO kept
there, somebody viii get the use of it
without paying any interest. '

LEBANON NOTES.
LEBANON Dec. Goth, 1882.

Editors Democrat /:
The rumor referred to last week in
regard to the leasing of the st. Charles
Hotel has proved correct. The arrange
ment was made and Messrs. Nixon and
Rilea took possession on Monday. No
pains will be spared on the part of the
new proprietsrs to make the ST. Charles
a first-class hotel in every respect.
A rather a quiet wedding took place
on last Saturday evening. The con-
tracing parties were DIR. Gambertsoa
and Miss Mahala Nossholder. There
had been some rumor that such an event
was likely to happen, but as only the
parties TO such engagements knew to a
certainty, there was chance for the
public to be mistaken. But in this
case the report proved true, and the
parties we trust were made happy in
life by the we'll chosen and binding
words of Rev. M. Hickman, who per-
forned the ceremony.
The festivities for the holidays be-
gin on the evening of the 2lst, by a
grand entertainment, given by the A.

at tho Academy, by musical soiree,

One Of our Republican contempora-
ries says, ''that in 1880 Hancock re-
csivsi in California s0,442 votes giving
him majority Of about 100 over Gar
6sld, and that in the recent election
General Stoneman received about 10
600 votes and has majority over Estee
ofabout 21,000. Ask stay-at-home
Republicans what they know about
t1sse figures" Now We would say
that If stay-at-home Republicans have
- depend upon perverse Republican
newspapers in order to know something
about sthese figures" then indeed will
they never know any thing about them.
California Republican newspapers that
have given any fgurss, at all, absut the
California election, have wil.fully and
with perversity of human purpose,
knows only to Republican editors,
misreprssented the actual results of the
s.sction in that State simply. we sup
pese. for the purpose of deceiving their
readers and keeping their courage up by
saying that while Republicans were
beaten in California, it was rot because
Republicans voted the Democrat ticket,
but because enough of them staid at
home and did not vote at all to thus
give Steneman large majority. To
show this Is true our contemporary
above says that Stoneman received but
10000 votes while Hancock in 1880
received so, thus showing that
Stoneman did not receive any Republi-
can votes. Now ct last accounts the
vote Of California had not been canvas
ssd by Secretary Of State Burns, but
connected returns had been received at |
the ErGRsiaer Office from all the conn
ties in the State except Modoc, and the
fetal vote in those counties for Stone
nan Is 90, ,554 and the vote of Modoc
will raise this to about 81, 1854, thus
giving Ssoneman 1884 votes more
than Hancock received. When Repub-
licans contemplate these figures we
suppose they find no comfort in them
but they evidently find much food for
reflection.
