If THIS be true how the blood OF
every true Democrat must curdle as DC
thinks of it. The Washington cores
pendent of the Springfield Republican
says that it having come to the ears OF
President Cleveland that ex-President
Arthur contem plated a European trip,
sent for him and asked him if he would
accept diplomatic mission to several
European courts. 1t matters not that
Mr.. Arthur kindly and gracefully de-
clined the offer, preferring to go abroad
as a private citizen, it shows DISPOSE
ton creditable 20 Mr.. Cleveland, but
very alarming to the office-seeking
Dem ocracy.

HERE is something else that must
add somewhat to the grief of the aver
age Democrat. Both Miss Cleveland
and Mrs. Hoyt are thorough Republi-
cans. To be sure,it is in the family, but
Democracy would feel more at ease II
they were real-going Democrats, the
more of the Bourbon type the better fol

The following was adopted BY

Whereas, The Center Point Com
mon Council passed resolution on
the 18th day of February, 1885,
which we construe compels the sub

adopt the new work of the Wheel

gal and contrary to the constitution
of the B. Of. +.
Therefore, We, the members of

tiously adopt the said new work, I'M
til such time as it is ratified by the
proper authorities. 1t is therefore,
Resolved, By this lodge: That we
condemn the action of the said Com

and by laws of the B Of +.
That we absolutely refuse to be
governed by said action although we
desire the consolidation Of the two or

The homestead law is the father
of the mortgage law. Without the
former there would be no necessity
of the latter. What was intended as
q benefit to the people turns to be a
burden upon them, both in money
and reputation, for it costs both to
maintain the mortgage law. The
exemption provides a way for a man
to avoid paying his debts, the mort
gage cuts off this provision. A few
take the benefit of the exemption
law, with how much credit to them
selves we need not say. The many
bear its burdens and reproach il it
has any or entails any. There will
be thousand mortgages costing a
thousand dollars, given IN Pope
county in 1885, to cover property
that would stand for itself with out
an exemption law. This thousand
dollars comes out Of the pockets of
the thousand men who give the
mortgages. 1t would be saved but
for the exemption. 1t costs the peo-
pie in reputation more than In money,
for all know the verdict of public
opinion in regard to the act of sched-
uling. We can conceive OF no more
powerful reasons for abrogating a
custom or law than those present
ed here, those saving money to the
people and preserving their moral
Integrity and reputation. Let the
legislature take some steps to have
an expression upon this important
matter,

Whereas, 1t has pleased our Heaven-
ly Father to remove from our midst
our worthy brother, William Crober,
who was born in Franklin county NOW
known as Logan county,) April the
23d 1852. Was married to Elizabeth
McEyer, January 9th A. ID. 1870, they
lived together fifteen years. one month
and one day. In August 1883 he Joined
the Christian church, after which he
lived a CONSTANT Christian until Feb.
9Th A. ID. 1885, he was called from his
labors and suffering, to receive his re-
ward that Is reserved for the faithful.
During his illness for several weeks he
bore it patiently and calmly, lie never
murmured ut his condition, and when
conversed with about death he said he
had no fears of death. He leaves a
loving companion and six children to
mourn the loss of an affectionate hus-
band and loving father. We would say
to them, .aiNe courage, for God says 81
! will be husband to the widow aud a
father to the fatherless.'
Resolved, That while we sincerely
mourn the loss of our worthy Brother,
that we tender our coincidence to his
family in their sad bereavement, and
that the members of this lodge wear the
usual badge of mourning for period
OF thirty days. And that a copy of this
resolution be spread upon the minutes
of this lodge, and one sent to the Wild

Abollshing Official Bonds.

Correspondence of the Democrat
What kind OF an insane craze is it
that is selling upon the people? Idle
as that are wholly Incompatible with
all sound business principles, with
all sound and wholesome views OF
public safety, and directly anLago-
nistic 10 all well established customs
of political economy seem to germi-
nate in the minds of our legislators
and editorial writers with a sponta
neity which makes us wonder where
it will end.
The measure, for instance, recent
ly introduced in the House by our
member, Hon. G. f. Tobey, and
warmly advocated by the Gazette, to
abolish official bonds, is directly IN
point.
| cannot conceive Of more dan
gerous measure. / know of no safe
guard which the common people
need more than good strong bonds
TO protest them from loss in this di
rection. To say that officials have
defaulted, and their boudsmen es.
capped making good the loss in q few
instances, is no argument against
the policy and wisdom of requiring
bonds. Such state of affairs only
shows a dereliction of duty on the
part of those whose duty it is to in
spect and approve The bonds and
keep them in custody.
II our State Treasurer's bond is
rendered invalid because the custo
dian Of it permits it to be tempered
with and altered, is that any argu-
ment In favor Of not requiring any
bond at all of the next Treasurer?
Why, Mr.. Editor, that manager OF
Railroad company, Telegraph com.
pauy, Insurance company or other
private corporation who would for a
moment advocate abolishing the
bonds of employees entrusted with
the funds Of the corporation would
be bounced by the directors too
quick TO talk about. He would be
regarded as a crank, and no bust.
ness would be regarded as safe in
his management. If the general as
sembly wants to make it crime
punishable by Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for an official to mis-
appropriate public monies, let them
do so, but let them go slow about
robbing the people Of the privilege
of reimbursing themselves under
good bonds for such losses.
What would it avail, for instance,
il a collector should abscond with
the revenue for year, to follow hum
up and inearcerate him in felons

be done, but which would not save
