We understand that Mr.. Geo. f..

very good attendance. tits neat and

We hope Teacher and pupils will
labor with renewed zeal, and do each
their individual part towards making
District 35 second to none in Stevens
County. In this the Teacher ought to
be aided and supported in every way
by parents and guardians. Instead
ofoffering and adopting resolution
restricting the teachers salary, to the
best possible figure which anyone
worthy the name of Teacher" would
not accept. Let us rather offer a
salary which may induce good teachers
to take charge of the school. The day
has gone by when Stevens Co. is sup
posed to be satisfied with the siitings
of Eastern Schools for teachers, and
Disct. 35 though still in its infancy
ought to be above accepting what any
other Disct. might see fit to respect
fully decline. Therefore we hope the
present committee who offered the
above resolution at the commence
ment of last term may see fit to reverse
1t at the next. Economy is laudable
under almost all circumstances, but
in the selection of teacher for the
young we are inclined to doubt it.

Ortonville is rejoicing over its
prospects of having a railroad from
Fargo, 10y the way of Browns Valley,
connecting with other roads south
from st Louis. This may not at first
sight, appear to be of much impor-
lance to Ortonville, but the sale of a
year or two crops to st. Louis, instead
of the Millers Association, will fully
prove what it is worth. This will give
Ortonville a competition in the wheat
market, that will be of great value to
its surrounding farmers, as, st. Louis
purchases largely for home consump-
ton, and larger still, for its immediate
southern trade, and can we'll afford to
pay agood round price. Our citizens
of Morris will probably see the point
aitera while and connect OrtOnville
by rail.

LIFE IN THE ETERNAL orr.

My sister and came to Rome TO
study. and are obliged to live as eco
nomically as possible. We have two
large, sunny rooms in the apartment of
Marchioness. They are furnished lux
uriously-one as parlor, and looks
upon bright piazza-paved in asphalt
for the benefit of the tribunal opposite.
For all this comfort we pay 10 francs
(sl4) per month, services included. But
the secret of it is that this is not the
new part OF the city, where foreigners
mostly congregate. It is only short
valk from st. Peters, but on the healthy
lilo OF the Tiber, and it was obtained
through an italian friend, and that is
half the victory; for deep down in the
ITALIAN nature is the desire to get the
n~st out of any stranger who may come
within. their reach. Ones first lesson
here is how to avoid being cheated. We
'ake our dinners at a restaurant, or have
lem sent, and make our coffee in the
no"ning, and o'clock supper. In
he shops where we buy our provisions
they look at us as we look at Zulus.
'ur piazza is perfect kaleidoscope of
italian life. Mothers sit together on
he steps of the tribunal opposite all
lie afternoon and gossip and knit, or
'ollow after wee little babies in leading
'trings. Soldiers lounge about, or rouse
themselves at sight of a pretty peasant,
nld boys sit and play mora by the hour,
,Alling out the numbers vociferously,
tud holding up their fingers in rapid
succession. It certainly seems to the
observer the most absurd of all games,
but it is said to cause q great number
of murders, for quarrels always lead to
the knife here. Often I am called to

Benjamine Craig was accidently shot,
but not seriously. Young Hallick,
who was shot by Smith or Gates
yesterday at the edge of the grove das

The crowd had possession of Smith
for awhile, and put rope around his
neck. He admitted being with Gates
when Clingan was killed, but denied
knowledge of the Stubbe murder.
Singularly enough the crowd then let
the Sheriff take charge of him.

The mystery connected with the
murder of Mayor Stubs of Des
Moines, Iowa is probably cleared up
at last. The chase of the two rough
riders and sensational horse thieves,
who were traced from Perry and Angus
on the Fort Dodge road, ended in a
small grove in the southeast part of
Shelby county. There two or three
hundred men stood armed guard all
night, the number steadily increasing
up to the hour of capture. Between 3
and 4 o'clock, the desperate and
hungry men sought to crawl through
the line, but dozen shots forced them
back. Nothing was done by the crowd
till nearly noon, when an inward
yolIey was fired all round the grove
and the circle closed in. At 30 one
of the hunted men fell, mortally
wouded. He was carried outside aud
stated that he was

The Democracy as a Friend of the
COlOred Man.

The first active contest in Ohio on the
question of manhood suffrage was in
1867, which resulted In the submission
of an amendment striking the word
white" from the State Constitution.
The party lines were strongly drawn on
the question, the Democratic platform
declaring that we are opposed to negro
suffrage, believing that it would be pro-
ductive of evil to both whites and blacks
and tend to produce disastrous con-
flict of races" and the Republican plat
form placing the party ION the simple
and bread platform of impartial man.
hood suffrage, as embodied in the pro-
posed amendment to the State Constitu-
tion." The proposition met with the
solid and bitter opposition of the Demo
Gratis, both in the Legislature and before
the people at the polls, and Was defeat
ed. 1t would probably have secured a
majority but for the fact that it was
handicapped by a proposition to disfran-
chise all soldiers who had been borne
upon the muster-out rolls of their CON-
panies as deserters.
But the cham pionship of manhood
suffrage so weakened the Republicans
that they lost the Legislature that year,
and as might have been expected of a
majority gained by such means, the

less than three week after it assembled,
to.wit: in January, 1868, passed reso
luton by strict party vote resembling
the resolution of the preceding Republi-
can Legislature ratifying the fourteenth
amendment.
At the session in 1869 of the same
Democratic Legislature, resolution WAS
passed by Il strict party vote rejecting
the fifteenth amendment. Among the
Democratic members of that Legislature
voting us above stated were w. d. Hill,
of Defiance, and John F. FOllett, of Gin
cinnati, at present Democratic members
of Congress; J.. T. Neal, of Ross, who
was a candidate for Congress in 1882 !;
James w. Newman, of Scioto; A. T..
Walling, since a member of Congress :;
T. J. Godfrey. a member of the present
Senate; J. B. Jamison, the present Dem
ocratic member of the State University
Board of Trustees, appointed by Cover
nor Bishop; Judge May, of Richland,
now common pleas judge, and William
Lawrence, of Guernsey, and Mr.. Scrib
ner, of Toledo, two active and promi
nent Democrats to-day.
In 1869 Republican Legislature was
elected, and at its first session ratified
the fifteenth amendment by a strict party
vote. And not only did the Democratic
members vote against these amendments
but that opposition was accompanied by
a bitterness that was hard to account
for under any of the ordinary rules of
party action, and looking back upon
these incidents from the light Of to-day
their course seems brutal and unpardon-
able. When they were in the majority
their measures we're passed under the
gag of the previous question, and when
in the minority they attempted to delay
action by all the well known dilatory
motions and filibustering practices.

The Liquor Dealers Circular.

The State Executive Committee of the
Ohio Liquor Dealers Association have
sent out circular letter in which they
call upon the faithful to assist in defeat
ing both of the proposed constitutional
amendments relating to the liquor traf-
tic. They say that the "fanatical ele-
ment," meaning the friends of sobriety
and good order, are at work all over the
State to secure the adoption of one or
the other Of the amendments, and that
it remains for the friends of persona
liberty" to frustrate their purpose.
They, therefore, invite these special
champions of liberty, l. e., the liquor
dealers and their Democratic allies, to
vote mo" on both amendments. The
circular says: No doubt in most coun-
ties the ticket will be printed: First
Amendment-Yes; Second Amendment
Yes; and in this case il will be neces-
sary to strike out the word yes and, to
make it more emphatic, to insert no. :"

IN his speech at Hamilton. Monday af
last week, Senator Mcdonald said: 81
am so far in favor of free trade az to be
opposed to any tariff upon foreign mer-
chandize if the Government did not re-
quire the revenue to be derived from it. ~
Precisely, the Senator, like his party, is
in favor of tariff for revenue only,
which means free trade, as the Senator
proceeds to make still more explicit in
these words: Il have said it heretofore
and repeat it now, free trade between
nations, as between individuals, is unde-
niably the foundation upon which COM
merce should rest" These declarations
disclose the true aim and purpose of the
Democratic party in Ohio. Speaking fol
the party, and to the party, Senator Nc
Donald says free trade is the true idea,
and of course there can be no mistake as
to what labor is to expect from the Dem
ocratic party after such an exposition of
Democratic doctrine. 1t means that if
the Democratic party prevails, free
trade will prevail, and American labor
be deprived of all protection. The man

G. w. RutLedge, Esq, KentOn, o.:
DEAR SIR-YOurs of the 23d inst.
stating that it was rumored that myself
and other Republican wool growers in
this vicinity were intending to vote TIE
Democratic ticket, is at hand and has re-
ceived my attention.
la reply | will state that there is net
the slightest truth III such statement,
and VIII assists ia circulating the
report either Intentionally or unknew-
ingly misrepresen,s me. | think it was
4 mistake To reduce the tariff on wool,
and sm emphatieally in favor of the res
toration of the tariff of 1867. Yet | be-
lieve the Republican, party, known in the
past as the friends of protection of
American industries, will prove itself
the same in the future; and though the
many interests united in the tariff bill
caused one of Ohio's distinguished Sena-
tors To vote afIirmatiYely on its passage.
when tho question of the restoration of
the tariff on wool again comes before
the Senate. the wool growerf of our
country will find no hrmer friend than
Hon. John Sherman.
As member of the committee on res
olutions, At the last Republican conven-
tion, secured all asked for, and by q
unaninnua vnta of the cammittae | am
satisfied with the Republican State
ticket and shall give it my hearty en-
dorsement. My desire is to treat every
ono fairly, and |. consider the tariff bu-
siness question rather than a political
one. Respectfully yours,
DAVID HAIPsTER.
