The United States is the richest
sountry in the world. We have richer
men and more of them. England does
not claim but $40, 900, 900, 600. We
Stained $50, 900, 900, 600 of property IN
1880. England has been gathering
wealth for thousands of years, and We
have more money than she has, although
it is but a little over a hundred years
since We left her here in the wilderness.

After a good deal of investigation,
the conclusion is reached that Ferdi-
nand Ward, the partner of ex-President
Grant, quietly slowed away two or three
millions of dollars in places where he
can lay his hands on it when he gets
out. All the circumstances point to
this conclusion. If this is the case he
should quietly stay in for the rest of his
natural life

DEMOCRATIC POLITICAL NOTES.
certstn Great Truths.

From Governor Cleveland's Letter Of Accep-
lance.
When an election to Office shall be the selec-
ton by the voters Of one of their number to as
sumo for a time a public trust, instead Of his
dedication to the profession of politics, when
the holders of the ballot, quickered by a sense
of duty, shall avenge truth betrayed and
pledges broken, and when the suffrage shall
be altogether free and interrupted, the full
realization of a government by the people will
be at hand.
If 1 should be called to the Chief Magistracy
of the nation by he suffrages of my fellow
citizens, l will assume the duties OF that nigh
Office Eith a solemn determination to dedicate
every effort to the country's good and with an
humble reliance upon The favor and support of
the Supreme Being, who l believe will always
bless honest human endeavor in the conscien-
tious discharge of public duty.
A proper regard for the welfare of the work
ingmen being inseparably connected with
the integrity of our institutions, none
of our citizens are more interested than they
in guarding against any corrupting influences
which seek to pervert the beneticent purposes
Of our government, and none should be more
watchful of the artful Vaccinations of those
who allure them to self inflicted injury.
Tn laboring classes constitute the main
part OF our populations They should be pro-
tected in their efforts peaceably to assert their
rights when endangered by aggregated capital,
and all statutes ON this subject should recog-
nize the care of the State for honest toll aud
be framed with a view of improving the con-
ditlon of the workingman.
l believe that the public temper is such that
the voters of the land are prepared to support
the party which gives the best promise Of adj
ministering the government in the honest sim
pie and plain manner which is consistent with
its character and purposes.
Laws unnecessarily interfering with the hab-
its and customs of fanny of our people which are
not offensive to the moral sentiments of the
civilized world and which are consistent with
good citizenship and the public welfare, are
unwise and vexatious.
The selection and retention OF subordinates
in government employment should depend up
on their ascertained fitness and the value of
their work, and they should neither be expect
ed nor allowed to do questionable party ser
vice.
A government is not by the people when a
result which should represent the intelligent
will of free and thinking men is or can be de-
termined by the shameless corruption of their
s~uffrages.
The craftsmanship they require consists in
honesty and frugality, a prompt response tC
the needs of the people as they arise and the
vigilant protection of all their varied interests.
A government is not by the people when one
party fastens its control upon the country and
perpetuates power by cajoling and betraying
the people instead OF serving them.

An Illustration

?
The strict observance of the doctrine
that the candidate, whatever he may be,
ought 10 be supported for the sake OF
the pasty, which seems TO. be the staple
argument OF the friends OF Mr.. BLAINE,
leads 10 the most extraordinary results.
We find among our exchanges the fol.
lowing paragraph taken from the st.
Louis Globe Democrat of the 23l of
May. 1884 alluding TO Mr.. BLAINE:
"IIe is an unclean man. and the peo.
pie will not have him. He stands self
convicted of proslituting the high Offices
be bas held to bald up private fortune.
OF cohabiting with corruption for dis
honest money. His record would damn
him."
II the Globe. Dcm6crGt said this and
believed it, its present support Of Mr.
BLAINE is travesty Upon decent and
honorable politics. Tue more resolute-
ly it argues that candidate whom it
thus describes is the free choice Of the
party, the more injury it does to the
party, and the more it tends to relax the
party allegiance of original and con
scientious Republicans. Tue more loud.
ly it denounces as "dudes and Pnari.
sees" the Republicans who can not sup
port the candidate, the more dishones'
and Contemptible does Its own position
become.
Yet that position Is in strict accor.
dance with the new doctrine Of Republi.
can orators, that the nomination purifes
the candidate, or dlopenses the voter
from moral obligations. A view o
party which holds that journal OF {
man, believing a candidate TO be unfit
ought still TO support him for the high
est official trust of the government, Is
view which makes party fetch as ig'
nofantly worshipped as that OF an Afri-
can tribe. 1t is truly amazing that in
telligent ani honorable men can suppos'
that other men of the same kind can b'
persuaded by an appeal 10 support thu
party TO vote for candidate whom thej
condemn upon grounds Of official integ
rity opd for % vhooo oIonfiOp nd pSiOpnpX
whatever can be pleaded. In the same
way those who for the sake OF p1litica
preferment vote, and ask others to vote
for candidate of whom they hold the
opinion which is expressed by the Globe
Democrat, can not hope to gain increas
ed respect for themselves or gieater con
ffidenee in the party whose action they
Justify.

Chas. Albus browns Himself in a
We'll on Monday Morning.

1t is our lot this week to record an
other of those sad events which have
been so prevalent in this vicinity Of late
Charles Albus, who lives some three
miles up tie creek from this place,
drowned himself in the We'll hear his
house, on Monday morning OF this week.
The facts, so fer as could be obtained at
the inquest, were about as follows: Mr..
AIbus hal had severe attack Of typhoid
! fever, and at the time OF the commits
sion of the rash deed, was pronounced
by the doctor. to he convalescent. On
Monday morning Mrs. Albus, his wife,
went out to the garden, which was some
distante from the house, 10 get some
vegetables, and pick some berries, for
dinner, leaving him at the house in bed
He advised her to send the childten over
to a neighbor's house so they would not
make noise about the house to disturb
bin in her absence. She said that she
would take them with her. She accor-
dinglv started on her errand, accompa.
aled bv the children. She was absent
some half an honr. or probably little
more, and on her return to the house she
found his he'd empty and he nowhere to
be seen. She became alarmed and sent
for SOME Of the nearest neighbors, who
came and searched the premises for the
missing man, but TO no effect As d last
resort they turned their attention TO the
we'll The well was about twenty feet
deep and contained about ten or twelve
feet of water in it. They procured a
grab hook ard began to grapple around
in the well The hooks soon caught in
his clothing and they hauled him to the
surface. He had, apparently, gone into
the we'll feet-foremost, as his feet were
downward when they hauled him up
They laid him out on the porch and sent
for an officer to hold an inquest. r. E
Tilford, by whose kindness we we're
made acd tainted with the facts, was ac-
cordinely summoned and an inquest
held, but nothing further was developed
than what is above stated He was a
Young man, only about 25 years of age.

years. He leaves wife and two small
