The Richmond Capitaz says:

We are not advocating "woman's
rights" as the phrase applies to suff-
rage, but we do insist that it is the
grossesL injustice that compels a
woman to lose all her legal rights and
privileges, and to surrender up her
individuality when she gets married
That such is the case in nearly all
our states and territories is well
known TO those familiar with the
law. The moment q woman is mar
ried, herself aud all that she pos
sesses is passed into the hands Of hel
husband, to be used as arbitrarily as
he may see fit. 1t is true that af
lection, which is generally the found
alton of the martial relation, prevents
the general abuse of this power con.
ferred upon a man over his wife, bu'
under the law as it now is, the abuse
of it is not only a possibility but ;
living fact in numerous instances
What is needed then, is a statute
allowing a woman, when she marries
to retain al the rights and privilege.
belonging to her in a single state
This would not be in the least un
reasonable. No loving, unselisl
husband would object to this law
while the mean and selfish man woult
be debarred from imposing on tn,
helplessness of his wife.

The Eaton Democrat having been
Intercepted as to its objections to
the town of Paris, announces that ii
has but one, and that is that it has
no saloon and will not allow one.
NeU Paris Mirror.
MI. Charles Bloom, editor and pub
Usher of the above concern, you pub
lish a bold, unmitigated and reckless
lie. The Eaton DEMOCRAT has never
been Intercepted about New Paris
as a location for the Home, and con.
s~equently could not have expressed
such a ridiculous objection as you
charge. Where did it Announce it?'
We have always regarded Mr.. Bloom
as a young man of honor and credit,
and a consistent prohibition to which
we have had no word Of censure, but
we think differently now as to his
honor. 1t seems to be very sus
ceptible and of easy virtue, and looks
as if it rested lightly provided he
could gain a point. Mr.. Bloom, you
ought to be ashamed of yourself
Take back your falsehood, go and
sin no more and we forgive you, and
remember that such a course only
rebounds to the good credit of g
public journalist.

The following cold facts are com.
mended to the attention Ct our Re.
publican friends. They were pre-.
pared by a faithful member of the
g. o. p. who desires his party col
leagues to open their eyes to the fact
that they are treading on the brink
of a political precipice over which
the Democracy will surely hurl them
Twelve years ago the Republicans
elected Grant for his second term by
4 majority of more than three-quar,
tiers of a million in q popular vote of
six millions and q half. Four years
later Mr.. Tilden received a majority
of $50, 600 in round numbers, in q
vote of eight and a half million. AT
the last election Garfield received a
plurality of barely 5000 in g. total
vote of over nine millions. In 1882
elections were held in all the States
of the Union; some 10000 0 votes
were cast, and the Democrats had a
plurality ofover 400, 000 Last year
elections were held in fifteen States
the vote was a little over 1000 900;
the Democratic plurality was ~, 600.
OF these States which gave their
electoral votes for Gen. Garfield, can
any one say how the following will
go next fall: New York, Ohio, Indi.
ana, Connecticut? Together these
States had seventy-eight electoral
votes in 1880 and will have eighty
this year.

Bob Insersoll thus deplores the
present situation Of affairs in the Re

Everything is being done to III

didates are being destroyed by theil
small rivals. All the candidates are
attacked with n virulence that is un
accountable and appalling. = < =
The politicians act as though Re
publican success was an assured fact
The truth is, that we will need the
vote of every Republican. We are

ton, attacking each other, furnishing
food for the Democratic campaign

EpaE-ty.o
Cleveland Plain Dealer


AS the time for the meeting of the
Republican National Convention ap,
proaches the troubles of the grand
old party grows in intensity. The
various factions into which the party
in the absence of any overshadowing
purpose has been broken, wage war
one upon another with increasing
ferocity. The friends of the differ
ent candidates pour out the Walls OF
abuse on each Others head, and if
the country is to believe that the
leading statesmen Of the Republican
party are the corrupt and rascaily
men they are declared to be by fac
tionists of their own party, it must
needs be alarmed at the prospects of
another Republican President of any
faction whatsoever.
1t is clear that the race is between
Arthur and Blaine, though as to
which is in the lead is pen to doubt
that cannot be solved until the cen
vention assemblies and the vote is
taken. But it is reasonably certain
that one or the other will be the Re-
publican nominee.
Herein is bitterness and conten-
ton. The country is assured by the
Blaine men that Arthur is q machine
politician, a boss, a man OF low poll
ticai associations and belonging to
that faction in the name of which
Garfield was assasSinated. The
Arthur partisans declare that Blaine
is the 'tattooed MAI" of the politi
cal museum, that he is cratic, I'm
safe, corrupt and a friend of the
jobbers. The Republicans of Ohio
announce that SO unpopular is Ar
thur in the State that his nomina

ton will virtually paralyze the party
in the state and maze success i'm
possible; and they ask with great
force what the Republican party can
expect if Ohio should 90 Democratic
in October, and that it will go Dem
ocratic if Arthur is the nominee they
distinctly concede and announce be-
fore hand.
But the Arthur men retort that
with Blaine, New York is h~opelessly
Democratic, and with it New Jersey
and Indiana. They want to know
what the party can do without New
York, and distinctly warn the party
that Blaine is the n man who most
positively cannot carry it. Moe
than this, the cry comes up from the
stalwart Republicans of Massachu.
sets, that if Blaine is the candidate.
that state, together with New Hamp
shire md Connecticut, are surely
lost to the party.
TO add to the p~erplexity, the In.
dependent Republicans ofNew York
a compact and formidable body o.
voters give notice that they vii
have neither Arthur mol Blaine, anC
if either is nominated they will put
up u third candidate or go over tt
the Democrats.
What is the "grand old party" go
ing TO do? 1t is threatened with de
feat if it nominates Blaine, and if i
does not nominate him. 1t is threat
ened with defeat with Arthur or with
out him. And it is threatened with
defeat if it takes either of them o
neither of them.
Evidently the grand old party is il
a bad way. 1t is between the devi
and the deep sea.

The amount of money in use
among the people has about doubled
in the last six years, or since the re.
sumption of specie payments. In
1873 the amount outside of the banks
and the national treasury was $4G5,
100000 in currency and $4,000 OO
in silver, a total of 1892, 500, OOO.-
Gold at that time WAS held as mer-
chandise and did net circulate. &C
cording to Comptroller Knox's re-
port of November last, the total
amount of oney, gold, silver and
currency, not held in the banks nor
in the national treasury was $916,
100000, nearly double the amount in
1878. Assuming our present popu.
lation to be 50, 600, 600, this is equiva
lent to $16.65 per capita of our entire
population.

in the following order: Lincoln,
Hawley, Senator Sherman, Gresham,
General Sherman. The delegation
is supposed to like President Arthur,

Does the Eaton Democrat object
