Springfield globe-republic. (Springfield, Ohio) 1884-1887, 1885-08-24

The fnsl disposition of General Grants re-
mains, should not be the cause OF petty
sectional squabblc.
II is now though, that because of the
numerous openings OF gas wells throughout
the country that the earth is balloon.
Vote tor Cleveland aud have good times
was the democratic cry. Several people
would be pleased to have the good times
hurry up a little
Senator Sherman is quo ed as saying that
so far as the duty ou wool is concerned, twill
either be restored at the next session or the
tariff on wooden goods reduced
The prosperity that was to follow the
restoration OF the democratic party to power
seems to be confined 10 those fortunate dem
ocrsts who go, offices and the president who
is junketing in the mountains.
Governor Hoadly says that "he doesn't b.
lieve that taxation and regulation are eter-
nal Most people have been educated TO the
belief that death and taxation were about the
only two things to be relied on as always in
vogue.

land in the Adrondscks, his clerk at Wash
ington seems to be possessed Of "devilish
activity" Every drop OF dog day prespira-

looms up with an average of one hundred
rascslly fourth-clsss heads in the basket.
| One thing is gained by the democratic ac-
cidental lift into authority--the oil sories
about Washington can all be revamped with
new names attached, and they are already
beginning TO bloom forth. The small and
sickly boy who haunted the corridors Of the
departments so long, and, suddenly disap.
pesring, has been found with his widowed
mother, and taken into some houored posi-
ton by Secretary Manning this year.
The best results fyr prohibition have beer
gained without third party. Southern pro
hibitonists, who have been held up as th,
champion prohibitonists o. the country
always voted the democratic ticket first ant
then the most OF them joined in with tn,
grand rush for prohibition. Prohibition n,
publicsns have, or oueh to have, sense enough
to know that il prohibition comes at all, i
must come upon some plan by which th'
temperance people of both parties can unite
without sacrificing party affi iations.
Whatever the city council may decide tC
do in regard to the contract for lighting the
city, there should he for the interests of all
! concerned no division on the subject Of max.
ing long contract, say for five years at least
The idea of opening this lighting question
every year for discussion is the merest non.
sense and IS productive of no benefit to any
one. Ia contract is made for FIVE ears botl
the Gas Company and the Eectric Light
Company can afford to make lower price,
than they can for a years contract, and suci
a result would be beneficial to the citizen ia!
payers.
