One of the most horrible wholesale
murders of this year of murders oc-
CURED about seven miles south of jack
son, Mich, on the night of Nov. 22.
Jacob ID. Crouch, the wealthiest farmer
in that county, aged "A years, was found
lying dead in an alclove leading from
the sitting room of the homestead.
In another room his daughter and
her husband, Henry White, were
cold in death, while in a third
room Moses Polly, a visitor from
Transfer, Mercer county, Pa, was lying
dead in his bed, all four having been
killed By balls from a revolver. From
the fact of all having been shot in the
same place it is possible one person is
the author of the horrible deed. A col
Ored boy and white maid, who were up
stairs, slept through the whole affair.
The boy said he heard at one time a
humping sound, but as the night was
very windy and stormy he thought
it was produced by the elements. The
murdered people show no signs of a
struggle. Crouch was the richest farm
er in that county, and owned a ranch
in Texas valued at 81 100000. The
murderer was undoubtedly actuated to
commit the horrible deed for money.
The whole community is terribly agi-
tated over the affair.

The Currency.

Differing from most Eastern journals,
the Brooklyn Eagle has the following
views on the currency question:
''The Eagle favors the issuing of
treasury notes, dollar for dollar, for the
amount of bank notes the banks should
return to the cgovernment--shOu with
draw from the circulation. If all the
national bank notes now out were with
drawn the government would then
have, of its own notes outstanding, say
$3.50, ,000, 900 in greenbacks and 1920, ,OOO,-
600 in treasury notes. The volume of
the paper currency would be the same
as at present, and the government
would be responsible for the redemption
of all of it in gold coin. The RESPONSE
bility of the government at present for
the redemption of the greenbacks and
the bank notes-for the maintenance of
specie payment, as the term isis but
little less than this now."
The objections to these views are
those so often stated and familiar to the
people that it is not the province of the
government to engage in the banking
business. These objections apply with
all the force that is in them to the issue
of greenbacks, and that form of curren-
cy has proven so satisfactory to the peo-
pie that the weight of the arguments
against it is broken. 1t is not plain
what method congress will adopt to sup
ply the vanishing national bank notes.
1t is by no means certain that coin GER
tificates will not supply all the paper
currency the people may require.

SINCE the new Democratic Auditor
has taken charge in Hamilton county,
he has discovered a systematic plan
which had been adopted in the office
during the administration of his Re-
publican predecessor to defraud tax
payers out of large sums of money. The
valuations of property as fixed by the
Board of Equalization were raised, and
the tax calculated on the fraudulent ap-
praisement. The purpose seems to have
been to secure commissions from the
defrauded taxpayers for "discovering"
the error in calculating their tax. The
Signal will have nothing to say of this
damnable business, as it originates from
Republicans, the hollier than thou fel-
lows.

Some Representative Republicans.

A dispatch announces the arrest of
ex-senator Spencer at Austin. Texas.
Mr.. Spencer belonged to the list of car
pet-bagger senators, and represented"
the State of Alabama several years ago
in much the same way that Dorsey rep
resented Arkansas about the same time.
He was supposed to know great deal
about the star-route frauds and Dor
sey's connection Herewith, and when
those trials were going on at Washing
ton the government made an attempt to
bring him forward as witness; but
although the marshals hunted him
from one end of the country to the 9th
er, the fugacious ex-senator could not
be found. 1t was supposed he had par
ticular reasonsfo desiring to keep what
he knew about the frauds to himself.
1t is curious to recall in this connec-
ton how many Republican senators
and representatives who were thought
fit to take part in the work of making
laws for the country have been arrested
and otherwise dealt with for violations
of these laws. Ex-senator Dorsey of
Arkansas, indicted for implication in
the star-route frauds; Senator Kellogg
of Louisiana, indicted for the same of
fense; Assistant Postmaster Gen. Brady,
also indicted for the same offence;
Bowen and Whittemore, members of
congress from South Carolina, turned
out of their seats for violation of the
criminal laws; Senator Patterson of
New Hampshire, turned out Of the SEN
ate, and Oakes Ames of Massachusetts,
formally rebuked by the House for deal
ing in the Credit-Mobilier bribes, and
Representative Matteson of New York,
turned out of the House for bribery,
and Chester Arthur himself, President
by accident, was turned out of the New
York Custom House by John Shermen
for ways unbecoming an official in high
trust. All these were Republicans. The
Democratic party, as everybody has
heard, is shocking bad party; but, bad
as it is, it is too good a family for such
statesmen as these to find places in.

JOHN p. MARTIN, member elect of
the Board of Public Works, with Henry
Weible, the Democratic member who
came in last year say there will be no
civil service business in the public
works. The two Republican members
asst year gave Weible nothing. The
boot is now OH the other foot, and they
propose to give the places to Demo-
Gratis. They will have control, and will
put Democrats in charge along the Ohio
Canal, over which George Paul, the Re
publican member, has supervision. The
change on the canals will take place on
the 1st day of next February. So truly
says the Jackson Herald.

A NUMBER of farmers have reported
to us that they get very unsatisfactory
results in feeding the unripe corn to
hogs and cattle which they desire to
fatten. AS over two-thirds of the corn
crop of this county failed to ripen this
season, and as considerable portion of
it is so soft that it is frozen too hard for
stock to eat, we would advise farmers
to cook their corn before feeding. Fix
up some big pans or kettles and throw
the corn in on the ears, with enough
water to cover it and boil it thoroughly
and feed warm, but not hot. Ifyou can
mix in quantity of oats and potatoes
it will improve the fattening quality of
the food. Farmers who have tried this
plan are well satisfied with the result.

THE Cleveland Plain Dealer thinks
that Ohio will be the battle ground next
year. 1t is going to be no ordinary con-
test. The Republican party is going to
stake it's very existence on the issue in
this State and fight for its life. Let the
Democrats of Ohio prepare for the con-
flict. Previous political battles in this
State have been the merest skirmishes
compared with the contest of next year.
It is we'll to understand this now and
get ready. Organize the party every

The geographical nomenclature of the
new Northwest affords some interesting
matter. One of the most illustrious eX-
amples of the softening influence of
civilization is found in the case Eltopia,
town in Washington Territory. In
its original form the name of this place
was Hell-to-pay. This was successive
ly modified to Ethiopia and Eltopia
to meet the requirements of increasing
elfrespect, and very likely it will get
to be Eltopolis before all the corner lots
are sold.
