WHEN you are told that John
Mcbride is not friend of the labor
ing man and the farmer stop and
think whether he ever endorsed
the Bohemian oats, and Red Line
wheat swindles, as was done by his
opponent, James s. Robinson. On
the subject of the above named
swindles the Lancaster Eagle truth
fully says:
"It would appear that the Bohe-
mian Oats sharks who have been
going over Ohio swindling the
farmers out of vast sums of money
carried certificates of character
signed by ]. S. Robinson, the Re
publican candidate for Secretary of
State, Jas. Il. Lowry, Chairman of
the Republican State Central Com
mittee, and other leading Republic
cans of Kenton, Hardin county.
The swindling concern itself was
composed of eight or ten Hardin
county Republicans, with head
quarters in Kenton, Gen. Robin
sons home, and he could not but
know all about the rascally busi-
ness in which it was engaged, as
the farmers of Hardin county were
robbed of not less than 100000.
The certificates signed by Gen.
Robinson and other leading Repub-
cans, including Warden Coffin of
the Ohio Penitentiary, enabled
them to bamboozle the farmers in
distant counties out Of their money.
1t is altogether likely that the men
who have been robbed and
swindled by this scheme will re-
member the men who were directly
and indirectly engaged in the bus
mess when they go to the polls.
Some Fairfield county farmers were
no doubt bitten by the sharks"

TarltOn, Ohio.

ED. DEMOCRAT:-Tarl isrSit-
uatcd at the head of as beautiful
valley as there is in the State, be-
ginning below town to widen and
unfold as we proceed down Salt
creek, and after we reach about
three miles the valley stretches off
to the right into the Pickaway
Plains, that for beauty and grand
eur cannot be surpassed anywhere,
and as for quality and depth Of
soil, is not equaled in the State.
The farmers are mostly wealthy,
as we'll as educated, comparing
well with any farming community.
Their dwellings are nicely con-
structed with a beautiful lawn or
nicely constructed yard in front, or
around the house, decorated with
rare and well selected flowers.
Their wives and daughters take
great pride in making their dwell
ings both beautiful and attractive,
and besides they know how to
dress and beautify their appear
ance. But a few years ago all
country girls were known by their
dress, their walk and behavior, in
town, "and this remark applies to
almost all girls" but their educa-
tion and training has made them
inferior to none and the expert can
not distinguish them from the most
refined city lady.
The farmers keep pace with the
latest improvements in farming
implements. They are paying
great attention to bettering the
grade of their horses, cattle, sheep
and hogs. A marked Improvement
can be seen in the roads also. AL
most all of the principal roads are
nicely graveled, and where TWEEN ty-
years ago you would have to drive
through mud knee deep you now
pass over dry shod. That which is
most needed is Il railroad, no well
regulated farming community can
do without it, they can not compete
with those who have one; too much
time is spent in hauling grain ten
or fifteen miles to market, Now
Mr. editor you have our advanta-
ges and dis advantages, we want
our disadvantages remedied and
we will be as "Happy as big Sun
flower"
The honorable body, the Council,
of our town, will vote for prohibi-
tion soon.
Two young men of our town were
arrested for shooting quails last
week, but they claimed that they
were "flickers."
We are working for the proposed
railroad from Lancaster to Ham
den, and expect to get it.

THE canes said to be made of hui
man hide, obtained from subjects
in the Columbus Medical Colleges,
it seems are distributed among the
Foraker family. The Cincinnati
Telegram says that w. Il. Bundy
sports one of them. The number
of cattle and other quadrupeds rep
resented in these wallSing-sticks is
unknown, but they will serve to
cane Foraker out of office, all the
same. Too many political pardons
and too much confidence in the
oaths of murderers, horse thieves
and burglars, are, likely to bring
Foraker to grief.-McArthuw En-

DIR. SHEPARD, who is running
for Congress in this district, is a
sheep owner, after all, notwith-
standing he lives in the suburbs of
Columbus. He owns two sheep.
The way he came to own them was
this: He was very fond of sleeps
kidneys, and made up his mind to
raise them himself. so as to have
them fresh every morning for break
fast; accordingly he bought a pair
1f sheep for the purpose, supposing
they would furnish fresh kidneys
Just the came as hens furnish fresh
eggs. OF coursefhe Is just the man

Ex GOVERNOR HoADLY, who
was on the bond of the knavish
assignee of the Archbishop Pur-
cell estate, has offered to pay
over to the creditors his share of
the bond, amounting to $62,5O0.
Judge Hoadly did not transfer his
property as soon as he heard of AS
signee Mannix's rascally transac-
tions. He believes in the inviola-
bility of bail bonds, and by this
act he surrenders the last of his
private fortune, leaving his chill
dren with no heritage save the rec
ord of a father with an untarnish-
ed name.

THE Democratic ticket is good
for an increased majority this fall.
The Republicans are desperate, but
it is no go. Six hundred majority
to overcome stands like a stone
wall in front of them, and the only
thing they can do is to knock their
brains out against it.

gone.

whites washed inside.
The building of the new high school

many trees in the present grounds.
Superintendent Barbour, of the Rock

The praise of the school board for de-

the highest commentator.
The institute is progressing finely.
Though the attendance is less than it has
been for two seasons, much interest is

Anyone who has ever dealt in lands,
knows that no investment of money will
so surely and quickly yield return, as
such venture If carefully made. To
the absolute safety o. a government
bond, is added profit far in excess of
rate of interest which can be obtained
on any safe loan. In Kansas and Neb-
raska especially lands are raising in value
very rapidly and with a steady growth
which gives assurance of stability. The
good season and the great tide OF immiA
grafton into these states has made invest
ment there doubly safe and desirable
The climate of Southern Nebraska aud
of Kansas, free as it is from the long
RIGOROUS cold winter, added to a soil
unsurpassed for richness and productive
capacity, has made possible the wonderful
development of these states. To the far
mer they hold out special inducements.
Cheap laud. easy term of purchase. good
markets and varied products enable him to
own his farm at smaller cost and with less
labor than is required to pay rent for the
land he occupies here, or the interest on
the money he has invested in it.
If you are looking for q safe place to
invest money, where it will pay you a
large and sure profit, or if you are farm

Above all, now is the time fer garden
parties. Chiswick is delightful seat of the
duke of Devonshire on the banks of the
Thames, which some. years he lends to the
prince of " ales on condition that his high
ness gives two great breakfasts season
The parties on strawberry Hill are bistor-
ical, as well as those at sion house and Os-
terley, the parks OF the duke of Northumber
land, and the dowager duchess of Cleveland
The nearest OF these is ten miles from Lon
don, but people think nothing of driving out
and back between luncheon and dinner
Closer to town are the lodges of the duke of
Argyll, the earl of Airlie, and Lady Bur-
dett Coutts, and, nobest of all, Hol-
land house, with its memories more
stately, even than its architecture, and
more unfading than its far famed land
scape and lawn. All these are thronged
with people of highest rank and Oldest name,
as many statesmen and soldiers and diplo-
matists as butterflies of fashion, wits or
bellies, or dowagers or dandies Even the
queen throws open the gardens OF Bucking
ham palace sometimes i'll July and invites
a few thousands of her greatest subjects to
afternoon tea
These garden parties are unique in effect
and loneliness. The women wear costumes
of the lightest fabrics and most delicate
colors, appropriate in tint and texture for
ball; the men are tina best dressed and
the handsomest in the world; the lawns and
trees and gardens make the most charming
background; there are marques and music,
carpets spread here and there on the grass;
sometimes an archery match or an outdoor
play, sometimes Punch and Judy under the
blossoms for the children. The scene is
worthy of Watteau's daintiest pencil -

Advice to II Young Man.

My son, L observe that YOU are pleased
to be little sarcastic on the subject of
the modern evangelist" You sneer at
him because, unlike Philip. the evanGe-
list, he carefully avoids the way which
is desert, and refuses to preach, save In
the great cities, in the busy centres of re
ligious activity, where there are great
multitudes and much applause, and, as
You hold, some gain. All this is undoubt
eddy true, writes Burdette in the Brooklyn
Eagle The evangelist of today loves u
crowd. He knows the value of huge
audience and rafting fusilades of applause
He will not so into the desert on the
chance OF converting a single sinner from
far away Ethiopia, but don't you see, he
can fire his gospel battery into the whole
regiment of sinners by going to town? As
he does not have the power that certain
old fashioned preachers had some 1000
years ago Of drawing the multitude after
him in the wilderness, he wisely goes
after the multitude But then. my boy.
so do the eloquent preachers of no reli-
gion. So do these learned and unselish
men vino teach suffering humanity that
the evangelist is a fraud and all religion
u sham They likewise seek the city and
the multitude, and not having the faith in
the financial hberaIity of their audiences
that the evangelist has in his, these re-
formers fear to lean upon the much DIES
pissed collection and SO charge fifty cents
at the door. No ticket, no liberal theol-
ogy. 1t is only the gospel that is free.
after all, my son. Now, do let the evan
gelist have his way, as well as the REFORM
ers." Let him 60 where the crowd is. He
won't hurt the crowd. He dosnt teach
the multitude to do any thing wrong.
Herr Most didn't get INTO Jail for listening
to Sam Jones' The Chicago Anarchists
were not the outgrowth of revival
meeting. No Presbyterian elder, no
Methodist class leader, no Baptist deacon
has been indicted for throwing bombs at
the police. There may have been an in
fidel or two, a freethinker, maybe, an
atheist, perhaps, mixed up in that
crowd of Anarchists; | do not positively
know. but there may have been; you can
easily ascertain. But do know that the
deacon and the elder weren't there. None
of Sam Jones's converts were there. The
evangelist may have some odd, rough,
funny ways of teaching, but that doesn't
teach evil. He doesn't persuade men to
do wrong. He doesn't lift up his voice
and cry aloud for free whiskey and nc
Sunday. 1t is true that he gets paid for
his preaching, but it seems to me, my son,
that some kinds of preaching are worth
paying for as well as others.
