"Labor on, labor ever!" Let
every one strive earnestly and judic-
lousy for the prize, and it may be
gained-but if you wait till it falls
into your lap unsought, death will
overtake you with all your desires
unfulflled, all your designs unac-
complished. Look within yourself
for the source of success, follow your
calling patiently, be temperate and
frugal, trustworthy and reliable, and
you will leave the man who blindly
waits for something to turn up" a
long way behind on the road. And
bear in mind that even if any large
measures Of success should not at
tend your exertions, still these exer-
tions will, in most important sense,
prove their own reward. The idle
and unenergetic man, who is always
wishing and waiting instead Of act
ing-is always the unhappy man
Work, then, with all your heart and
mind, for reward of some kind YOU
shall surely reap.

1t is thought the yield Of corn per
acre in this State will scarcely reach
that of 1882, which was the best for
a quarter of century. The yield
of wheat is somewhat less than last
year, and also less per acre. 1t is
estimated that the total crop of the
State will be from 100000 to
100000 bushels.

THE CHOLERA.
Death Rate in Cairo Decreasing.

This dreadful scourge is still
spreading. 1t has appeared in Ro-
setta, and the railway traffic between
that town and Alexandria is sus-
pended. Some suspicious deaths
have occurred among the Egyptian
refugees in Syria, and to cases of
cholera are reported at Smyrna.
1t is also spreading among the Sus-
sex Regiment at Ismsila, where 20
men died in three days. The deaths
among the British troops up till
Tuesday numbered eighty-four, and
the total number of deaths through
out Egypt since the first outbreak of
disease to August I'd was II, 900.
The report that cholera has appeared
at Rostov is denied. An analysis has
been made of the water of the Nile,
which shows it to be infected with
putrid matter. All garrisons except
Alexandria are affected.
There have been very few deaths
reported at Alexandria, but there
will probably be larger death re-
turns when secresy is no longer pos
sible. If the epidemic attacks the
British troops there a camp will be
formed outside Rosetta gate and
another at Ramleh.
The number of deaths in Cairo Oh
Thursday was 5ll; Friday, 277
Saturday, 1922; Sunday, $50; Mon
day, 275; Tuesday, 800; Wednes-
day, 237; making a total of 2,07:
during the week. The general healtl
of the British forces at Cairo il
good. The cholera is less virulen
there, and the cases under treatmen
are more hopeful. Father Patrick
acting Catholic chaplain to the Brit
forces, is dead. Twelve Englisl
doctors are arrived. The Govern
ment is considering project for tn
partial burning of other dangerou
parts of the city, like Bulack. Th
number of deaths on Thursday dur
ing the twelve hours ending 8 P. M
numbered $50.

A Startling Discovery OF Bold and
Audacious Scheming TO Keep
Rapidly Decaying Party
i'm Power.

A New York City dispatch dated the
10th, says that Dorsey's seven-cohm
expose in the Sun of that date of the
secrets of the campaign of 1880 and Gar
fields methods is the political sensation
of the hour. He charges Garfield with
treachery to Sherman in the Chicago
Convention; that Conkling taunted him
on the spot with the fact; that the New
York bankers raised S400, 900 for Indiana
in October on the written pledge from
Garfield that the operation of refund
ing the fives should be given to a New
York syndicate at commission which
leave them millions of profit, and that
Jay Gould contributed Sl50,000 on the
written pledge. of Stanley Mathews
nomination. Many half-breeds are un-
masked, and the whole narrative, is of
the most scandalous political character.
We will give the expose in full in. our

THE Eaton Democrat gives the fol-
lowing cogent reasons why not only
Democrats, but why every honest Re-
publican should vote for Judge Hoadly:
The Republican papers are endeavor-
ing to make capital out of the fact that
Judge Hoadly was once a member of
their party. 1t is true, that is rather a
dark spot in the political life of Mr..
Hoadly, but as he got out of his bad
company without being smirched with
the star route robberies, the whisky
ring swindles, the salary grab disgrace,
the Belknap peculations, the "Boss''
Sheppard District Columbia plunder,
the returning board scoundrelism, any
Carpet-bag rascality, or other similar
Republican jobs or theft and crimes, we
regard the truth of it as a strong reason
why, not only every Democrat, but
every honest Republican in the State
should support him for Governor.

One Of the most remarkable sasessthat has even
been brought to the notice of the public is that of
Mr.. ]. s. Beach, OF Stone Bridge, Ulster Co., N. Y.
Mr. Beach had suffered since October, 1874 from the
peesence Of Calculus or Stone in the Kidney. No
less than seven physicians were employed at different
times, to whom Mr.. Beach paid hundreds of dollars
for medical treatment, with only temporary relief
from his agony.

Hoadly and the WOrkingmen.

On Saturday evening large Work
ingmen's meeting was held at the State
Capital, under the auspices of the
Workingmen of Columbus. gotten up
for the purpose of discussing the con-
vict labor system. A correspondent of
the Ne,Ds-Jouanay says: The platform
of both parties has plank pertaining
to this system, but the one in the Re
publican platform is evasive, and only
tries to throw dust in the eyes of the
workingmen, while that of the Democ-
racy is bold and outspoken in favor of
the abolition of this nefarious system.
A telegram was sent to Judge Hoadly
by committee of workingmen, asking
him to be present. The Judge respond
ed favorably and gave the workingmen
his presence.
The Judge went at his work in good
style, and the way that he handled the
question of convict labor was vocifer-
ously cheered time and again, but what
seemed to strike terror to the hearts of
the Republicans present was the charge
that he made against John F. Oglevee,
the present State Auditor, and the Re-
publican nominee for the same position,
as well as chairman of the Republican
State Executive Committee, and that
was that he, Oglevee, did, while mem
ber of the House of Representatives
from Clark county, in the sixty-second
general assembly, vote against resolu.
ton to investigate the present system
of convict labor as carried on in the
penitentiary. A number of Republi.
can workingmen were present, and said
that was the way they wanted to hear 6
man speak, and he would catch theil
votes.
This question is one of vital import
ance to every workingman in the State
and as Judge Hoadly has taken decided
stand against the slave convict labor hi
should receive the vote of every honest
laborer in the State.

ISN'T it becoming rather monotinous,
this Republican palaver about the DEM
ocrats using money, millions of it, in
the campaign. Every body knows that
it is not so, that the money is on the
other side, and that that is the side it is
being used upon. The Democrats are
out of power, do not hold any of the
Government positions; do not control
the National banks; or any of the
avenues from which political money
could come. Whereas, the Republicans
do and the Hubbell Committee takes
advantage of it, and collects large sums
as campaign corruption fund, which
has been sustained by facts. The Dem
octats having money for campaign pur-
poses is all Republican wind, blown off
to cover up their own iniquitous deeds.
Let the people have let up.
