That Settles it.

Mr.. Gould has good deal to say IN
the Herald this week, about the Keen
an rascality, and other matters, not
relevant to our charge against him:
but he admits all we charged him with
and much more. In one place he
says: 'rs
THE publishers Of the smut machine
keep great ado about hundred dol;
lars they say we received from Mr..
Keenan, which we never denied, &c.
In another place he says:
"Yes. we got many hundreds Of dol
lars from Mr.. Keenan-we never de-
MED that-but we do deny that we
owe him hundred dollars or one
cent"
OF course not. No one ever sus,
pected that you owed Keenan, any
thing. He had no money of his owr
to loan.
The above admission settles it, anc
we have no more to say.

A Pastor Surprised Card of Thanks.

The undersigned take great pleasure in
expressing their sincere thanks to the
brethren and sisters and many friends of
the Baptist Church Of Jackson, Ohio, for
their kind visit and liberal donation,
made to them on the evening of July Is,
1884. We were not expecting them, some
of the family having gone to bed, when
they came in upon us in body, taking
US as if by storm. making it what may be
termed a complete surprise.
Nor did they come empty=hapded, but
loaded down with the good things of this
life. Among these may be mentioned a
handsome dress pattern, muslins, hand
kerchiefs, collars and cuffs, tea. coffee, su-
gar, rice, flour, apples, starch, soap, canned
fruit, ham, chickens, and last but not
least, nice little sum of money. A strik-
irg speech in behalf of the donators was
made by Rev. E. W. Lloyd, my predeces-
sor, followed by w. d. Walters, the Su-
perintendent of the Sunday School. AZ
ter singing "Joy to the World" Rev. E.
w. Lloyd led in prayer. We had good
time. Such surprises are always pleasant
to pastors. We are profoundly thankful
that it is our privilege to be the happy
recipients of so many kindnesses, and
that it is our good fortune to live in the
midst of such people. May the blessing
of the Lord that maketh rich and addeth
no sorrow, rest upon all, and the set time
to favor this Zion with spiritual blessings
soon come, May we be enabled by Divine
grace to reciprooate this kindness in bet
ter and more faithful gospel work.

History of the Republican Party.

Thirty years have passed away since
the Republican party came into existence.
No thirty years of the worlds history
have produced more thrilling scenes, and
no party ever had such a grand record.
Organized at time when the slave pow
er was encroaching upon free territory,
and for the avowed purpose OF prevent
ing the further extension of slavery, it
has passed through and been victorious
in the greatest war of modern times, re-
stored the rebel States to all their rights,
grappled successfully with all the ques-
tions growing out of the war, reconstruc.
ton, finance and tariff, elected six Presi-
Dental candidates. and is now in the
midst of it's eighth Presidential cam
paign. All these events are graphically
told by Frank A. Flower, in his History
of the Republican Party; its Origin,
Growth and Mission, just issued. 1t is
grand book; its subject matter is grandly
treated, and the work should be in the
hands of everybody. Sent postpaid on
receipt of So. Agents wanted in every

Prohibition Meeting.

On last Thursday afternoon D. W.
Gage spoke at the Court House over
two hours. The audience was quite
small, and several left while he was
speaking. Most Of the time was put
in abusing Blaine and the Republican
party.
On Friday morning Mr. Gage called
at our Office, and we had friendly
talk with him. He contended that
we 1872 persons who voted for prohi-
bition last fal,, were not honest then
or consistent now, unless we now vote
the party prohibition ticket. We
called his attention to the fact that
while 1872 persons in Jackson county
voted for prohibition, only IA, accor-
ding to the report of the Secretary of
State, voted for Schumacher, prohibi-
ton candidate for Governor. We
told him that the attempt of this IA
to co-erce and dictate to the other
1898 men, as honest as they dare claim
to be, looked to US like very small
tip of the tail was attempting to
''waggle" the balance of the dog. I
We told Mr.. Gage that some fifty
odd years ago, when we were a boy,
we had read about some men who re-
minded US of the prohibitionists. We
will quote: e1gg
: And there ran a young man, and
told Moses. and said, Eldad and Medad
do prophesy in the camp. And Joshua
the son of Nun, the servant of Most 8,
one Of his young men, answered and
said, My lord Moses, forbid them.
And Moses said unto him, Enviest
thou for my sake? would to God that
all the Lords people were prophets,
and that the Lord would put his Spirit
upon themr' Numbers, 11-27 & %.
Even the disciples Of Christ had this
same cranky self-conceit. Read:
And John answered him, saying,
Master, we saw one casting out devils
in thy name, and he followeth not us;
and we forbade him, because he fol-
foweth not US. But Jesus said For
bid him not: for there is no man
which shall do miracle in my name,
that can lightly speak evil of me.
For he that is not against US, is ON
our part" Mark. 9-3S. 80. 40.

The Thetis and Bear, two Of the
vessels sent to the Arctic regions to
search for Lieutenant Greeley and
party, found the survivors of the
Greeley expedition, on the 22d of
June, five miles off Cape Sabine, in
Smiths Sound. These consisted of
Lieutenant Greeley and six comrades.
When found they were lying in their
hut, in starving condition, and it
is thought that had the vessels been
forty-eight hours later than they
were, all the men would have perished
Their last meal had been soup, made
Of very small schrimps and strips of
their sealskin boots, boiled One. Ser
geant Ellis, had his hands and feet
frozen off, and died after the party
had been found.
When discovered, one dead comrade
lay just outside the hut, and Greeley,
: who was barely able to support him
self upon his hands and knees, had
been reading prayers to those with
him who were supposed to be dying.
Seventeen of the brave men who went
with Greeley, were either frozen or
starved to death. The vessels are
bringing back the bodies of the dead.
The relief expedition, under Com
manders Schley and Emory, was char
acterized by remarkable vigor. About
the only result accomplished in return
for all this expense and sacrifice of
life, is the satisfaction of knowing
that the United States has reached
point further North than has been
reached by any other Nation.
Lieutenant Greeley declares that
his men discovered, and some of them
were in, an open Polar Sea. 1t is not
probable that Science will rest here.
There will be forthcoming numbers
of foolhardy men willing to dlstin-
guish themselves by being reduced to
a diet of old boots The next expedi
tion that starts for the North Pole
should be switched off into lunatlc
asylum. |

The following correspondence is
not altogether satisfactory. The an

We are not going to charge any can

we can prove it. The charge against

that Blaine will be defeated, because
it is by no means clear now that the

number the Civil Service reformers

At Richmond, Texas, Webb Het-

mob, and shot fifteen times. The
mob then united him, and left him for
dead. Next morning the Coroner
went out to hold an inquest, but the
corpse was gone. Hetton got up in
the night, went home, dressed his
wounds, and lit out, and the last heard
from that neighborhood was that the
officers were trying to run down and
catch the corpse.
