Some were living IN mud shanties. They

also visited the home OF Abe Buzzard's

NEW ATHENS.

Services were held in the Presbyterisn
church each day last week and the sacrament
was dispensed on sabbath. The pastor was
assisted in these services by Rev. NJ. E. Beall,
of Bridgeport. Sabbath evening Mr.. Beall
preached forcble discourse on the subject
of missions, to which much interest Was add
ed by the fact that he expects soon to engage
in this work, having been assigned to Mexico.
On Monday morning he also addressed the
students in chapel, on the subject which lies
so near to his heart. Mr.. B. is graduate of
Franklin, and leaves many friends in this
place who wish him success in his new field
of labor.
Col. Jake Kemple, of Wheeling, delivered
lecture in the M. E. church on Friday eve,
the 18th. 1t was brimfull of fact and fun,
and the audience were delighted. .
Several persons went to Cadiz Monday eve
to hear Maj. Dane lecture on up the Rhine
and Over the Alps with Knapsack.' AS
many of your readers have heard Mai Dane
eulogy is Unnecessary. But as he is to lecture
in st c. again soon, every man. woman aud
child in st. G. should make this journey with
him. 1t will amply repay all fort necessary
to do so.
Prof. Buchanan went to Cleveland on Friday
on business trip.
We noticed the beaming countenance of the
popular Cadiz restaurateur, Wheeler johnson,
peering over the robes as he drove through,
with his wife and little girl, the first of the
week, on his way to see his many friends in
st. Clairsville.
The literary societies of Franklin College

CONGRESS has been in session close
on to two months. The country
was told that all the leading meas
ares would he matured during
the holidays, that all important bust
ness would be promptly transacted and
an early adjournment would be reached
A resolution Was passed sympathizing
with ODonnell, which did not help him,
made the country ridiculous and de
strOyed the political prospects of Hew-
lit, one of the Democratic possibilities
for Presidential nomination. In addi-
tioD to this d resolution was passed ap-
prOpriating million dollars for the im-
prOvemeDt of the Mississippi River
This is all the Democratic Congress has
done except to seriously disturb the
business of the country. So much has
been said about tariff legislation that
business men do not know what to do,
and they concluded to do as little a.
possible. Democrats are split on the
tariff question, and it turns out that Oh
ly one Democrat on the Ways and Means
Committee knows anything about the
details of the tariff, aud its chairman
is now talking about horizontal re-
duction. This is all the Democratic
House has TO show after IA session OF
six weeks, and sorry showing it is
and more sorry 1t will become, we fear,
as time passes. Meantime the great
industries of the country are suffering

IT is not necessary to clad with iron
the integrity of the Republicans. Their
naked integrity is all that is necessary
to enable them to handle the millions of
public money. For the % years that
they have had control of the govern
ment they have collected and disburscd
over ten thousand millions of dollars,
while the loss from peculation is far
less than it was during the "a years the
Democrats were in power previous the to
war, when they collected and disbursed
less than twelve hundred millions. Tive
Democratic thieves, Swartwout and
Hoyt, alone stole, under Van Buren's
administration, nearly three million
dollars, saying nothing about several
hundred thousand dollars stolen by
other Democratic officehOlders previous
to the war. The government has not
lost one-fifth as much money during the
Republican administrations, although
more than eight times as much was
handled by above eight times as many
officials. The stealings of Tweed and
his gang of Democratic thieves in New
York amount to somewhat in the neigh
bOrhOod of fifteen millions. No wonder
Mr.. Payne had to be candid. and say
that he did not dare to trust even Dem
OcratS with "ironclad integrity" with
the handling of millions of the public
money.-Cleveland Leader.

SENATOR WILLIAMS, of Kentucky, is
outspuken as to what should be done if
the Democrats come into power at the
next presidential election. He says:
1--WE must not put distractions in the
way of cleaning out the whole thing;
am for clean sweep; l am for house
cleaning from garret to cellar; am for
cleaning out the rats in the treasury
who know where the choice cheeses are,
and where Dest hiding places are. The Wa
ter must be turHed, and the Democratic
president must take big broom and
clear the whole platter. That is practi
cal sense; that is 4 necessity"
standard Oil Payne, in his banquet
speech at Columbus, last week, favored
very much the same kind of "ciVil ser
vice reform" in these words:
For twenty-three years the dispensa-
ton of Federal patronage has been in
the hands of the Republican party. Ap-
pointments have all been made from the
adherents of that party, and mostly
from the class of active politicians.
During this period money by
the thousand millions has been collect
ed and disbursed, and the books kept by
these partisan agents, furnishing an OPP
portunity and temptation for pecula
ton, fraud and concealment to which |
should dread to expose even the iron
clad integrity of Dem 'crats. Inevita-
bly,, corruption and great abuses have
crept in and hstRe been covered up; fa-
yoritism, protegism, nepotisIn. imbecili-
ty and senilIty have obtained secure
lodgment; decentralization has followed,
and the public believe that fetid mass
exists, permeated with rottenness and
gangrene. Now, can this service he re-
formed and by what process? l answer
YES. And the process is: First, by elect
ing Democratic President-and that is
assured the present year, unless wisdom
and mad sess from the gods are permit
ted to block the way. Secondly, by Il
pitiless and radical Overhauling and
purging of the present service. An Au-
gean Stable cannot be cleaned with a
toothbrush! You must turn on the
hose. apply the hickory broom and scrub
brush, disinfect the premises and give
them wholesome atmosphere for hon.
est incumbents. By this means reform
is practicable, and until accom- nlished
no stable settlement of the question can
be obtained.
