Hells on Earth.


saws CARLYLE, ssdiffer notably. With
Christians it is the infinite terror OF
being found guilty before the Just
Judge. With old Romans it was the
terror, not of Pluto, but OF doing UNI
worthily, doing unanimously, which
was their word for unmanfully. And
now what is it-what is it that the
modern English soul does in very
truth dread infinitely and contemplate
with entire despair? What Is this
hell? With hesitation, with astonish-
mcnt, | pronounce it to be: The ter
ror Of mot succeeding;' of not making
money, fame, or some other figure in
the world chiefly Of not making mo-
nev. Is not that somewhat singu-
lar helly"
"Succecding' or not, such lives are
failures, veritable bells on earth and
not worth the living. A life of mere
money getting is always failure, be-
cause one never gets as much as he
wants. The poorest people IN this
country are the millionaires, and next
to them those who have S30O,0O0.
There is not scissors-grinder in our
streets so anxious to make money as
those men who have piled up fortune
for years. The disease of accumula-
ton has eaten into them. That is not
a life worth living. There are too
many earthquakes in it, too many
shipwrecks, too many perditlons
They build their castles and open
their picture galleries and make every
inducement for happiness to come
but she will not.
So also life that chiefly strives foI
worldly approval is failure. The
two most unfortunate men in the u
S. for the next four months will bt
the two leading Presidential nominees
Two great reservoirs of maledictlol
have been gradually filling up, an(
about midsummer they will be brim

to them and they will commence t.

will have to stand and take 1.-THE
faisehood, the caricature, the venom
the filth, and they will be rolled owe
in it and choked with it. To win tina
privilege a hundred candidates are
or have been striving.
The same thing is seen on small
or scale in the strife for social posi-
ton. Good morals and intelligence
are not necessary, but wealth, or tn

pensible. 1t don't make any differ

soon as the Board Of the Soldiers Home
act upon his resignation, and his sue

who assembled and presented him with
an elegant, massive, gold-headed cane
as an appreciation of his services. II
was the Doctors sixty-sixth birthday,
and his friends also made use of this op.
portunity to pay their tribute of respect
to him, as he is about to sever his con.

yet been accepted. The cane is a heavy,

EDITOR REGISTER The editor of the
Democrat and Frank Jones are running
for the Office of Sheriff; Gould for the of
fetal patronage and Mr.. Jones for the
salary. 1t is a sort of double headed
candidacy and is being worked in part
nership. Gouldis to lie about Mr.. Peters,
and Jones when asked about it is to cast
his gentle and persuasive eyes heaven
ward and vouch for the virtue and purity
of the liar. While this performance is
going on allow me to ask a question or
two Of this political firm:
1st.-Did you or either of you circu-
late or to be circulated or give
countenance to the circulation of the
Morey Forgery on Gen. Garfield in 1880?
2d.-Did either of you mark or cause
to be marked or countenance the mark-
ing of the figures 1929" on the doorsteps
and sidewalks of Republicans, thus Civ
ing currency to the infamous Democratic
lie that Gen. Garfield had accepted a
bribe of 1929? 9-e4
3d.-How much money have you sub
scribed to defeat James @. Blaine?
4th-How much money have you sub
scribed 10 defeat Gen. Robinson? 4
5th-How much money have you sub

6th-Do you or either of you think you
could, by beating your breasts with wal
clubs and INDUCING in a war dance OF an
hour or two summon courage enough to
say what you want to say and what you
have insinuated against Mr.. Peters, in
such a way as to make you responsible
for the Islander?

eve stand ready and willing to appear
before any Notary Public or Justice of
the Peace in Preble county, and make
oath of "NoT GUILTY." to each and every
question and cowardly insinuation con-
tanned in the above.-ED. DEM.)
Now we appeal to the good common
sense of every honest, every decent re-
spectacle Republican in Preble, if such
q defense of their candidate for Sheriff
is not an outrage, a shame and a dis
grace? Is the person a fit one to fill one
of the first county Offices in your gift,
whose success demands such means?
AS more Of such stuff is promised
through the 4ssmut machines" to prove
that MIR. Peters is better fitted, better
qualified and more suitable for the Sher-
ifs office of Preble county than Mr..
Jones, we advise the decent readers of
this billingsgate journal to get ready to
hide it from their daughters and young
sons, as they have two OF three of its
late numbers.

Two weeks ago a few interrogatories
were sent from Camden to the DEMOCRAT,
for Mr.. Peters to answer. The interro-
gatorfes were in relation to the honest
and faithful discharge of his public trust
while connected with the Revenue de-
partment few years ago. The ques-
tons we're pertinent to his candidacy and
were put in courteous and gentlemanly
language. Instead ofany direct answers
to them, the opponent of Mr.. Peters and
the editor of the DEMOCRAT, are treated
through the Register to a yolley of per-
sonal abuse and low down blackguard-
ism, fit only for the columns of a police
Gazette. Below we givetwo specimens
of the questions:

is a position of honor and responsibility.

Second-Should he be q common liar,

Mr.. Jones Answers

The Eaton REGISTER put some inter
rogatories last week to Mr.. Jones, the
Democratic candidate for Sheriff. Mr.
Jones recognizing the fact that he is ask
ing the support of the people for a re-
sponsible public office, liz willing that his
standing for honesty, integrity and fit.
ness for the place should be scrntinized,
does not answer the questions with a ii.
rade of personal abuse against the editor
of the REGISTER Oh his opponent, nor
have we threatened fire and sword be-
cause such questions have been put to
our candidate. We make no personal
attack on Mr.. Peters or the editor, nor
do we threaten any because OF the ques-
tions being put-we deal with the fitness
of the two candidates. Like a man Mr..
Jones steps to the front and answers
every question plainly and distinctly,
like a gentleman, and also sends a copy
of his answers to the REGISTER with 9
request to please insert them. How dif,
ferent is the case Of Mr.. Peters? We
leave each reader to draw his own com
mon sense conclusions. Below we give
the questions and answers:
Were you ever a member of the To-
bacco ring?"
1st-Please examine the Tobacco Jour-
nal and see if l have joined the ring. II
SO, when?
"Being q cigar manufacturer did you
ever defraud the government by using
Revenue Stamps a second timer"
2d-To find if 1 have ever committed
fraud on the government by using Stamps
the second time, I give you George P.
Durham, Republican Collector of the
Sixth District of Ohio, for reference.
"Did you ever defraud the government
in the manufacture of cigars in any man
ner?"
3d-To find if I ever committed fraud
in manufacturing cigars in any manner,
please drop into my office and there ex-
anime my government books for the last
six years.
"Were you ever a soldier? If so in
what direction did you shoot?"
4th-I was not a soldier. The reason
was, I was born August 18th, 1847, and
only q boy Is years old.
"Where were you when the Draft
came?p
5th-Still a boy, going to school in
Casper township, Preble Co., o.
"Was your nomination the result of a
ring, OF was it the work of bosses"
6th-My nomination for Sheriff was
given me by the delegates of the various
townships, without any Boss or any Ring
work that I know of or can find out. II
there was any, I am willing for the dele
gates to expose it.
