The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1885-12-10

John Cullers, an old citizen living three
miles east of Lewisburg, dropped dead
on Wednesday last while playing with
some children. Heart disease was sup
posed to be the cause OF his death. De-
ceased was about 81 years old. He leaves
two ions and two daughters to mourn his
loss.

Nothing was done about the night po-
lice at last Council meeting, except
"talk," which is cheap. If the Council
want to carry out the wishes of a very
large majority of the property holders OF
Eaton, it will dispose of the night police
business by voting it out of existence. A
night police would be simply a fraud up
on the taxpayers of our village, because
there is nc necessity for any such a
thing at present.

The days when men paid $1.50 or 50
for a necktie, forty cents for a collar and
City cents for a pair of cuffs are past and
gone. Enterprising dealers in gentle
mems furnishing goods have shown that
these were fancy prices and have educa-
ted the public not to pay them. When
an all-silk scarf can be bought for a quar-
ter, an a~ll-linen collar for fifteen cents,
and a pair of all-linen cuffs for twenty
five cents, arguments in favor of high
priced goods of the same quality, or in
%ferior, must necessarily go UNDECIDED.

A daily paper started at Washington
G. H. a short time ago, has gone dead
and the starters of it skipped out leaving
four or five hundred dollars for confding
parties to foot up. Men who undertake
to run a daily in cities the size of Wash
ington G. H., or weeklies in small vii
lagos of six or seven hundred inhabit-
ants, expecting to make money, know
but little about the printing business and
would be better off in some asylum
Owning a press and a few types don't
make a printer by a darned sight, any
more than owning a paint brush and pot
makes a painter However, the fools
are not all dead yet.

A man who will quietly stand by and
see his neighbor swindled, is a partner
with the swindler, whether he receives
any benefit from the operation or not; he
stands silent while his ncighbor is being
robbed, failing to "do unto others as he
would that others should do unto him."
and yet, if e murder was committed un-
der such circumstances, the man who
stood quietly by and saw it done upon
the plea sit was none of his business"
would be tried and perhaps hung as he
should be! Every man owes q duty to
society and his fellow man, and permit
ting a man who is a scoundrel at heart
and a villain in practice, to rob ar I'M
suspecting person, or cheat a fellow man
by falsehood, is in the eyes of the law, a
party to the fraud.
