The census of 1880 gives the mum.
Der of persons engaged in g%ainful oc-
equations as 17,392,O 70 or 47.31 pei
cent. of total persons over ten years
cid. These ere engaged in the four
chief lines of occupations as follows
Agriculture, 7,67O,O0O; professional
and personal services, 4,074,00O;
trade and transportation, 100000;
manufacturing, mechanical, and min.
ing industries, 3~,837,OOO. In 1870
the number engaged in occupations
was 12,5O5, 900. OF those in 1880. q
647, 900 were women. The number of
persons over 10 years Of age is &c.
761, 200, leaving 16.359,000 unac-
counted for. The latter number is
about equal to the number attending
school or physically incapable of la
Dor. The census shows an increase
over 1870 of about 80 per cent. in
population, but an increase of SO per
cent. in the number engaged in occu
pations. This increase in number in
occupations over the gain in popula
tion is accounted for by the growth
of the system.

The interest bearing national debt
of Great Britain in 1884 was So, 2O3,
600, 900 ind the annual interest
charge $142. 1852, $50. At the same
the interest bearing national debt of
Russia was $2,Os2, SOC, 900, and the
annual interest charge $143, 369,625.
Thus the aggregate interest paid by
Russia is lore than that paid by
Great Britain, although the interest
paying debt is less by one third
That marks the different credits of
the two governments in the money
is much larger, its actual amount be-
ing uncertain.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says:
The next House of Representatives
of the Ohio Legislature will have a
hundred and ten members, an in
crease Of five, the. following counties
having the benefit of the gain; Bel
mont, Columbiana, Montgomery,
Muskingum and Trumbull. In a
political sense the gain is a stand
off, with Belmont county as good
fighting ground for both political
parties. The next house of represen-
tatives will be Democratic, in the
opinion of the best posted political
leaders of both parties.

And now it is stated that Senator
Sherman will not be a candidate for
re election to his present seat in the
u. S. Senate, but will go to the Pa
cific slope and allow Ohio politics to
take care ofitself, at least, so far as he
is concerned. He will then pose be-
fore the people as the most available
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for the Presidency in 1888.
In the meantime Blaine is setting up
his pins to secure a solid delegation
from Ohio to the next National Re-
publican Convention, to have him
self once more placed at the head of
the ticket.

The New York San, in explaining
to enquiring minds the meaning of
its term, "Turn the rascals out" says:
sit was meant to apply to every ras-
cal ard plunderer connected with the
government" but not that nj 1.-The
main purpose was TO take the control
of the Government away from the
Republicans and put it into the hands
of the Democrats. Not only should
thieves and plunderers go but all
posts of power and responsibility
should he filed by members of the
successful party who are in sympathy
with its purposes and desire its wei
fare" Correct. Any other policy, had

have rendered any change in

Id most certainly have failed to
= any change whatever.

Yard in elections in past years, parti-
culaVly in 1882. After reading the
testimony in the contested cleo
ton case of Buck VS.. Dudley, taken in
the Fall of 1883, there is no doubt in
my mind that the vote ofthe yard was
practically coerced and controlled by
the foremen, either with or without
orders. The men were obliged to take
their ballots in a folded form from a ia
BILE presided over by one or more of the
foremen, hold the ballots in sight
while walking to the polls, one hun
dred feet distant, between men station
ed for the purpose of preventing any
change of ballots on their part, and
the ballot deposited without the voter
having had the opportunity to see or
know its contents or to exercise n
choice whom he should cast his bal
lot"
~ find that the same foremen who
conducted this proceeding are still at
the yard in the various departments.
Great complaint is made to me of such
proceedings in other years, but 1 have
already read sufficient of this sworn
testimony 10 satisfy me that the men
who were engaged in that proceeding
as foremen, directing and controlling
it, should be cleared out of the yard /;
and ifany similar proceeding or any
thing like it, or any attempt to coerce
the vote of the employees of tho yard
by foremen or superior officers should
take place hereafter, whether in the
interest of the dominant party or
otherwise, l will apply a similar rem
edy."
appointments in place Of the per-
sons discharged will be made temper
arily, and upon trial until efficient
men shall have been obtained. In this
connection ] desire to say that the
bureau officers here complain greatly
of the delays and the extraordinary
expense required to do work at the
Mare Island yard. l ask your special
attention TO these matters in the hope
that you will cooperate with me in
an effort TO bring the yard to greater
efficiency, and to eliminate these OBJ
jectionable features from it,"

Adyices from Washington say that
it is the Presidents plan to dispose of
his appointments in one department
at a time, taking great care that the
appointments are properly made.
When those of the diplomatic and
consular service r all made the

pose of the whole by the 1st of July.

Secretary Whitney has written the
following letter to Commodore Jno. H.
Russell, commandant of the Mare

coercion of the vote of that ward by
the fore men at past elections:

The report of the Superintendent
of Public School in Boston discusses
the experiment Of manual training
for boys. Two hundred boys, from
ten different grammer schools, have
been under instructions in carpentry
two hours a week since September.
They we're selected by the masters
from among those fourteen years of
age or older who hail the permission
of their parents to take the i%nstruc-
ton. "The experiment has already
gone far enough to prove that work
of this kind can be joined to the Or
binary grammer school work with
good effect" says the Superinten
dent and he advocates the provision
for industrial training for boys.

Gen. Grant has an income of $780,
900 a year and Mrs. Garfield $21,-
600. But every washwoman who
buys q pound of rice to feed her poor
children has to contribute to the sup
port of these favored people. The
government leyies a tariff on rice, and
poor women have to pay this tariff,
and thus q part of their money goes
to pension rich men and rich wild
ows. Stop and think about this.
Was Lincoln right when he said we
had ga government of the people, by
the people, for the people2" Don't it
look more like a government of the
few, by the few. for the few, at the
cost Of the people?

Hopes are entertained that Gen.
Grant will be able to preserve the
lives ofhis physicians if cholera don't
visit New York this summer. If Con-

would be secur even against cholera.

The Colicciorship.

We have noticed in the Cincinnati
papers several interviews with al.
legged leading Democrats and states
men of D.: yttn relative to the Col
lectorsh;p, in which it is strongly in
timated and implicitly threatened un-
less Montgomery county gets the ap
pointment, she will Ego Republican"
next fall. Our somewhat extended
acquaintance with the Democracy of
Montgomery county warrants us in
saying that if the interviews referred
to exp: ess the sentiments of Mont
gomery county Democrats, then we
have been greatly misled in forming
an estimate of the character Of the
Democracy that prevails in that eoun
W. We are 10th to believe that 'of-
fee" is the pillar upon which the
Democracy of Montgomery county
rests. The Democrats of Preble. coun-
ty may have their preferences n to
who shall fill the offices; if they get
their choice, we'll and good, if they
fail to get it, they vote the demo
cratic ticket call the same" Any
other course would not be regarded
here as democratic, and we do not
believe that any different feeling ex-
lists in Montgomery county.
We have had the pleasure recently
of mingling with many of the "bone
and sinew" Of the Montgomery De-
mocracy, and to a man, they repudiate
the silly imputation heralded through
these interviews, that the vote of the
county depends upon who shall be
appointed Collector. They say that
the office will he in Dayton, as it has
been heretofore, and that the idea
that whether this man or that man
fills the office, will affect the vote of
the comfy is absurd, and that Mont
gomery county will do her duty in
October, without reference to who
may be appointed Collector of Inter.
nal Revenue. We advise Jul Demo-
cratic friends in. Dayton who assume
to speak for the party, not to attempt
to frighten the "powers that be" into
giving them the Collectorship. 1t
comes with a bad grace from the
county that has had the lions share
of the honors and cmoluments of of
fee. They should, with becoming
meekness, be willing to give way for a
time to those more "poor and needy"
and not, through the public press,
advertise the Democracy of their
county as being in the market, and
to be bought at the price Of one little
appointment. We protest against
the Dayton statesmen fixing so low
an estimate upon the intelligence,
honesty and steadfastness Of the
Montgomery County Democracy, and
we do not believe that either Presi-
dent Cleveland, Secretary Manning
or Senator Payne will be influenced or
swayed by any such political trick
cry. in the appointment of a Collect
or.

It is said hat a young Democrat
having expressed in the presence of
the President a fear that the Demo

would be short lived, Mr.. Cleveland

rule in this country"

A practical and ingenious brain
has ciphered out the appalling fact
that if Cleveland were to displace all
the Republican ofice-holders and fill
their place with Democrats, at the
rate of one hundred per month, it
would take him sixty-one years and
five months TO complete the job.

AT THE PARK.

Thousands of people assembled at Agri-
cultural Park yesterday to see the second
stock parade. The grand and special
stands, the quarter-stretch, paddock, and,
in fact, the track fer half mile, was
crowded with spectators. The parade of
stock not only embraced, as a general rule,
finer animals than were ever exhibited be-
fore, but it was fully twice as large as that
of any former year. The line of stock was
over two miles in length, and it is safe to
say was equal to any show of the kind ever
witnessed in America, and goes to show
that at no distant future California will be
able to compete in this line with the COM
bined Western States. Those who have
not witnessed this immense array of
blooded stock should not fail to be at the
Park Thursday morning as that will be
the last day on which all can be seen, al
though there Will be another display on
Saturday. The horses, over 200 in number.
make line extending entirely around the
| track, and the cattle make a line of nearly
the same length. Those who witness the
parade must not think they have seen all,
for on the south side of the Park are to be
found numerous pens of the finest and
most improved breeds of sheep, goats and
swine, while many hundred coops in the
same locality contain specimens of the
finest breeds of poultry.

THE TWO HERITAGES.

When Carl Schurz, then Cabinet off
Ger, visited California a few years ago, he
remarked to one who accompanied him
down the mountain from the Summit. as
the debris question was being discussed,
Gold is the heritage of the people, and
must come out of the bowels of the earth
for their use.' A few hours later, as he
viewed the destruction worked by
hydraulic mining, he added, : The
rivers are the heritage of the
people and must be preserved for
their uses" When it was shown to him
that in the pursuit of one heritage by the
people certain methods employed de-
stroyed the other heritage of the people,
the official contented himself with saving,
" 1t is troublesome issue" But it is clear
that the heritage that is doing no wrong to
the people must be maintained in its in
tegrity as against methods to obtain the
other that are destructive of the first.
