The Columbus Dispatch, one {

The Columbus Dispatch, one of
the most ably edited and consistent
Republican newspapers of Ohio, in
speaking of the frauds, corruptions
and Irregularities which have APP
peared in localities in the North of
late years, admits that the system
is directly traceable to the great Re-
publican frauds of 1876, by which
Samuel J. Tilden was cheated out
of the Presidency, and fraud was
made triumphant by the partisan
vote of the Electoral Commission.
The Dispatch very frankly admits
the bad precedent which was set by
such men as Noyes, Sherman and
others of the national leaders of the
Republican party, and explaining,
it says:
"History in a nutshell! Slavery

Alleged fraud by the friends of the
freedmen, in a protested attempt tc
do them justice. Out of this and
spreading into States that hitherto
had an honest ballot and a fail
count, sprang the Cincinnati con.
test. These things cannot stop, il
fostered, and if not stopped, what
is to become of the country? But
one result is possible! The people
are all right. The scheming mer
who are grasping for political pow.

are assisting them, must be sup.

A Surprise.

The employees and children ofthe
Preble County Children's Home
were agreeably surprised on Christ
mas morning about 10 o'clock, to
see Uncle George Chambers drive
up in front of the Home with his
familiar horse and buggy wellloaded
with choice Christmas fixings. The
children were duly called into their
room and after entertaining their
benefactor for a short time with
songs and dialogues, the gifts were
distributed consisting of candies,
nuts and cakes, which were highly
appreciated. Uncle George was
unanimously voted the best Santa
that had struck the Home, and he
in turn said he never enjoyed any
thing better in his life. The children
voted unanimous for Uncle George
to call again, and he assured them
if he should live they might expect
him again next Christmas morning.
If others of our good people who
have no children of their own to
make happy would do likewise,
they would sleep better and be held
in everlasting remembrance by an
unfortunate class.

All cities, large and small alike, have
their nuisances of the street, and per-
haps among the whole list hone of them
is SO glaringly apparent and attracts so
little of the public attention as that of
vile and profane language. The occa-
sional use of an expletive by an excited
or angry man may be overlooked-at
least by every n but himself-for we
are weak vessels; but something ought
to be done to check the pouring out, es-
pecially by small boys, of cold blooded
profanity and language that is even worse
within the hearing of women and little
children. Whether the officers in~terfe-eo or
not, we do not know; but wen if they do.
they cannot be everywhere, and it there
fore becomes the duty OF every good cit
izen to take action to check this evil, al.
though at the expense of some time and
trouble to themselves. It is not at all
probable that the young boys who com
NIT this offense fully recognize what they
are doing; and a few arrests and repri
mands by a magistrate would very likely
go a long way toward putting a stop tt
an evil that must be recognized by ever,
one who walks through our streets ant
has not become hardened to the annoy
ance by long suffering. The habit o
gratuitously using unclean language i
moreover SO utterly ~inexcusabie that evel
the offenders themselves would in man,
cases acknowledge at least to themselves
the propriety of any step taken to pre-
vent it, and perhaps be led to undertak
an amendment of their own ways.-Ex.

and in one or two instances to dis
creditable scandal. The Senate of
the United States needs no aid from
patronage to add to its power and
prestige. The constitution has in
explicit terms entrusted it with
most dignifed and important func-
tions. Its rights and high privi-
leges r secure and cannot be i'm
paired. It has already consulted
for it's own dignity and it's eminent
position in the government by its
unanimous endeavor to remove
from the sphere of it's action
any possibility ordnance of intrigue
in connection with the presidential
succession. Let it consult still
farther for the honorable estimation
in which it is held by removing
from the duties of the executive
Limitations begotten of passionate
strife and turbulent times by restor
ing unimpared to the presidential
office it's constitutional prerogativt
and by comforting full control of al
administrative agencies and offices
upon the chief magistrate to whom
) the people have entrusted the ad
ministration of the government
: and whom alone they have mad
directly responsible for it.
"By all means let the tenureo
Office law be repealed"
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1885-12-31
The Tenure ofOmce Act.

Senator Hoar of Massachusetts,
has introduced a bill to repeal the
tenure of Office act. The constitu-
tionality of this law has always been
questioned. From the days OF
Washington down to 1861 the presi-
dent appointed and removed Off
Gals at will. Andrew Jackson,
however, was the first president to
remove all his political enemies and
place men in Office in accord with
his own political views, and every
president Jackson to from John
son followed his example. The
Washington Post commenting on
this subject, remarks, lit was not
until the administration ofAndrew
Johnson that the settled policy Of
the government for seventy-eight
years was reversed. In 1867, fol-
the first time in the history of the
country, the opposition to the presi-
dent in both branches of congress
was strong enough to control his
policy and override his vetoes. II
was at this time that the tenure OF
office act was passed, and it's i'm.
mediate purpose was to deprive the
executive of any power which he
might constitutionally exercise tc
thwart the schemes of southern re.
construction upon which the Re.
publican majority had resolved
That purpose was accomplished by
taking from the president the con
trol'of officers for whose actions he
was nevertheless responsible. The
act forbade the displacement, dur
ing histerm of appointment, of any
officer appointed with the consent
of the senate, until removed by the
same consent. That, in a slightly
modified form, is the law to-day
The Post adds: at will be re
membered that, consequent upor
the passing of this act, the power
of the presidential appointments
otherwise was largely curtailed and
restricted through the increased
claims of senatorial patronage. Al
this period originated the system Of
senatorial "bossism" which was in
vogue in the several states and
which, during successive admins
trations, led to unseemly conflicts,

1t has been extensively publish
ed that Minister Pendleton and his
wife were dissatisfied with their
residence and surroundings at the
German capital. Some newspapers
went so far as to declare that Mr..
Pendleton had fully decided to re-

case, the story proved to be only a
REPETITION of the "three black crows

Unnnsyerable Argument Fol
Tariff Reform.

The Philadelphia Record, one of
the ablest and most influential pa
pers in the country, advances the
following convincing and unan-
swerable argument in favor of tariff
reform. Every laboring man in this
country should study the tariff
Equestion, and if they do they will
soon learn that the present Repub-
lican tariff system is plannedin the
interest of a few wealthy individu-
ais and against masses. Read the
following from the Record, and re-
fleet on it as a fair statement O fthe
tariff question:
When the workingmen of this
country are convinced that the pro-
tectionist's cry of pauper labor is a
delusion and a cheat the present tar
iff system will fall without a strug-
gle. Workingmen see that wages are
higher in this country than in the
populous countries of Europe, and
higher in Europe than in the swarm
ing hives of humanity in China,
and they readily adopt the assump-
ton of the professional protection
lists that the tariff increases wages.
If this were true the wages of labor
would be higherin tariffridden Ger
many and Italy than in free-trade
England, and higher than in Italy
or Germany. But as wages are low
est in those countries of the world
{ where prohibitory tariffs have been
: broughtto perfection, the suspicious
| at last of workingmen in the Uni
ted States ought to be aroused con.
corning the virtues of protection in
, raising their wages.
Wages were high in this country
/ before there was such a thing as
, tariff, and they were highest under
the lowest tariffs. In different parts
of the country there is great differ
; ence in the rates of wages. In Cali
fornia at one time a days labor il
/ field or mine would obtain as much
q wages as the labor of a week in The
East, and at this time there is {
, great difference in the rates on thu
Atlantic and Pacific slopes under
J, the operation of one and the same
tariff. The field and factory hands
, of Georgia and South Carolina dc
not receive within 500 Of the aver
, age wages of the same labor in thu
l North and West. Iron-workers ives
D of the Alleghanies have for a lons
/ time obtained higher wages in thu
y East for the reasons that labor il
, scarcer in the West and that cheal
! and fertile lands, easy of access, at
), ford to workingmen the power o
resisting reductions. If the tariff
were the prime influence in raising
wages, as its advocates pretend
S would not the rates throughout tn
e country be more uniform?

The Lynchburg (Va.) News says
that, although the lynching of Hen
ry Mason, colored, recently, for the
murder of Mrs. Hammersley is the
first occurrence of the kind in
Campbell county, the very name of
slynch law" was derived from a ma
tive of that county-old Col. Lynch,
who was in the habit of admins
tering summary punishment to
marauders and miscreants of every
description without paying any at
tention to the ordinary processes of
law. Hence he was called Judge
LYNCH" and this, it is said is the
true origin ofthe terms "lynching'
and "lynch law"

In November of 1884, Mr.. Blaine
made his dismal speech at augusta,
about the ruin which impended by
reason of Cleveland's election to the
Presidency. In November of 1885
the State Bank Examiner of Maine
reports that the amount of deposits
in the savings banks of that COM
monwealth has increased by 3d.
1874 during the past twelve
months, and that the number of
depositors is 3,718 larger than it
was a year ago. That his own State
should go on prospecting in this
way under a Democratic Admins
tration, is perhaps the unkindest
cut that MI. Blaine has ever receiv-
ed.

In Georgia colored people own
GOO, 900 acres of land and pay taxes

their taxable property is put down

66,429 of the 1908 pupils in the
public schools are colored. In Geor'
gia taxes paid by the colored race
are almost as much as the sum de
voted to the colored schools of thai
State.

A Genuine Reform Administers.
ton.

l1Ons
The people of this country are be-
ginning to learn what "Cleveland
and REFORM" so often heard a few
months since, really means. A re-
form that reforms is so strange to
the people that it requires time to
say that the people will like it when
they comprehend it. In this con-
nection we may cite the fact that
the cutlery business of this country
is in a bad shape at the present
time. Within the past eighteen
months no less than a half a dozen
manufacturing establishments en-
gagged in this line of business have
failed. These failures were brought
about wholly by German manufac-
turers sending over goods which
were undervalued 20%. In many
instances these foreign goods were
stamped with English lettering for
the purpose of imposing upon the
public. 1t has been the custom, both
in England and Germany for Amer
lean Consuls to certify the invoices
as made by foreign manufacturers.
The constant practice has been te
undervalue these invoices, and home
manufacturers have suffered by
this rascally mode of competition
The Government has had an exper
abroad for several months eXamin
ing into these things, andthe result
of his Investigations has already
placed several importing houses 0.
this country in an awkward posi-
ton. In one case a New York firm
has been obliged to pay the Gov
eminent the amount on it's under
valuation, and others will be com
PEELED to walk up and settle in lik'
manner. But the strangest thing o
all is hat while some of thes'
frauds have extended over a periot
of many years, they remained I'm
detected until a Democratic Secre
tary took hold of the Treasury De
partment. Perhaps after a while GU
Republican brethren will confess
that a little reform where there i
as much need of it is a good thin
Z after all.

farm tools. The doctor is in for
his share of the gouge; new surgi-
cal instruments and chemicals are
accidentally or otherwise invented
or discovered, and "saw bones" is
in 200 to 10000 on prime cost. The
widow with her half dozen children
is caught on her sewing or knitting
machine 200 to 5000 the butcher
is for his share of the patent" as
he too, wants to be up with the
times with a new machine to con-
vert cats and dogs into delicious
sausage and weiner worst. The
medicine sharp is a royal free blow
er to sell sweetened water and green
persimmons for the cure of all all
ments, including females under all
conditions. The preacher is not
exempt. His cork screw that is so
useful at times is a part of that
blessing bestowed on the needs OF
society by Congress. But how you
ask can we clean off what has be-
come a nuisance to the whole coun-
try? 1t seems right and necessary
to reward the inventor with the
privilege to make his own inven'
ton, as a compensation for his la
Dor and brain. That is not to be dis
puted, but value should and coulc
f be fixed by the patent office on each
and every article and a royalty fix
ed that the patentee should no
charge over and above the cost o
producing, and then made free t.
f all manufactors, on payment of thu
established fee or royalty to the &C
tual inventor. The facts are w
have no monopolies in this countr.
that competitors will not overcome
and do, except copyrights and pat
ents. ANTI-MoNoPoLY.

Providence, R. L., will celebrate
its respectable antiquity of $50 yrs.
next summer. The middle of June
has been fixed upon as the date for
the celebration, although it is gener-
ally supposed that Roger Williams
founded the town Of Providence on
the 2eth of May, 1886. The point is
