The Democratic party, as repre-
sented in the Ohio Legislature, would
submit to the people proposition to
80 amend the Constitution as to per-
NIT the licensing of the traffic in in
toxicating liquors. The Democratic
party is still courting the saloon infiu-
ence. Take whisky out Of politics,
and there is no interest left for the
Democratic party. The only hope the
Democratic party has of gaining
strength, is to find something as
mean as itself to recruit from. As
there is nothing outside of a saloon as
bad as the Democratic party, it natur-
ally peeks In behind the screens, in
its search for recruits.
It will take England long time to
gain enough along the Nile to make
up for the loss of Gordon. He was a
man of almost inestimable value to
his country, conscientious, and thor
ough in his work. 1t is very evident
that the Government sent him to
perform certain great work, then.
by refusing to adopt his plans, or re-
spect his calls for aid, left him to
fight his own battle as best he mi ght
Now those who scorned the sugges-
tions of Gordon have the exquisite
pleasure of contemplating the horri-
BILE butchery of Gordon and his brave
followers.
One of the meanest men we remem-
to have read of is citizen of Cleye-
land, Ohio. and his name is King.
The story is that he married very
estimable young lady of Warren,
Ohio, and after living with her for
some time, he became tired of her.
and wanted a divorce. He left her.
but fearing his case might fail, for
lack Of ground, he employed dis
reputable attorney to telegraph to the
lady to come to Cleveland, ostensibly
on business connected with the divorce
case. The affair was so planned that
she was compelled to remain in the
city over night, when the attorney
registered her name as his WIFE 1t
was proven that they did not room
together, yet the husband had the
charge of adultery entered against
his wife, and had her arrested. Thus
he attempted to ruin her character in
order to obtain a divorce. This fellow
will never be adequately punished in
this world, because the human mind
crnnot conceive Of any punishment
mean enough, or horrible enough, to
meet the requirements Of the case.
So
Some things occur in this wicked
world that present strange mixture
of the solemn and the ridiculous. and
such an occurrence was that at church
in Greene county, a short distance
FROM Xenia, few days ago, or rather
a few nights ago. A great revival of
religion was in progress at that place,
and word began to go abroad, as to
the wonderful interest manifested
This glorious series of meetings drew
a preacher from Indianapolis, who
volunteered to teach the good people
of that neighborhood some new les
sons in faith. The people bore with
him for few nights, but finally be-
came tired Of his peculiar methods,
and strongly intimated as much to
him. On a certain evening the Indi-
ana preacher appeared as usual, ready
to conduct the meeting. Some Of the
brethren informed him that it was
desirable that he vacate, without any
unnecessary delay in the matter. He
declared his intention of staying until
the Lord told him to leave, and kneeled
down at the mourner's bench and
began to pray. Then the brethren
tried to sing loud enough to drown
his prayer, and he tried to pray loud
enough to drown their songs Of praise.
It was an amusing contest, and was
not made any the more serious when
one of the brethren piously kicked
over the mourner's bench at which
the imposter was kneeling. Then
the lights were put out, and general
row was engaged in, and now the con-
gregation is worse off than if the In
diana preacher had not come.
The Chillicothe Leader to incline to
the opinion that Lawyer Campbell, of |
Cincinnati, is very much prosecuted
man, and that his methods were not the
cause of the Cincinnati riots, but that |
the trouble was caused through sin
fammatory articles in the nespapers,"
or something Of that kind. All that
the press of Cincinnati demanded was
that the Courts be made the mediums
of administering Justice, rather than a
picnic for the lawyers at the expense
Of taxpayers. The Courts had be-
