A Statement and a Conclusion.

The statement is this from the N. Y. Sum-:
"Every day at 1 O'Clock $3O0,O0O,0O0 sit
around little mahogany table in an upper
room in the Western Union building and eat
plain out substantial lunch. The millions
belong to Jay Gould, Sidney Dillon, Russell
Sage and ex-Gov. Alonzo B. Cornell. All
were country boys and wore shoes only on
Sunday. Mr.. Gould and Mr.. Sage got their
ideas of finance in village stores, and Mr..
Dillon and Gov. Cornell were day laborers,
and thanked heaven when they trudged home
with Sc in their trouserspockets on Saturday
night"
Our conclusion, which at the same time is
fortified by personal observation, is this: it
is the country districts, and not the city, that
produce the men upon whose shoulders rest
the business, governmental social, educa-
tioual and all other important interests of
our country. City training, especially our
graded city school training, is lamentable
failure.
Reader, is it not true? Look around you
and investigate.-Er.

Its Tricks are Known.

The Republican party is in the position of
a conjurer whose tricks have been found out.
Its performances no longer deceive, and
therefore fail even to divert the spectators.
For many years the political prestidigita-
tors of that party went annually through with
the trick of Saving the results of the war;"
But the people at last discovered that no.
body wished to disturb those results, and
that the tricksters paid no attention to them
after the elections were over. 1t was next
announced that only the skill of these same
professors of sleight or hand could prevent
the dreadful Democrats from 'paying the
rebel debt" "pensioning the rebel soldiers"
denying to Union veterans the just recon-
pense for their losses and from destroying
the credit of the nation. A brief period of
Democratic rule, although not free from
mistakes, has proved to the dupes of these
men the utter absurdity of their claim. Not
only have no outrageous measures, been pro-
posed, but more money was disbursed to
Union soldiers in pensions last year than in
any year of Republican administration,
while the complaint of the critics has been,
not that the Treasury is too weak but that
it is too strong.
The standing trick of all the list-veritable
chestnut" that no bell can banish-is the
Republican claim that it is the party of
economy. The iugglery of figures by which
this is sought to be carried through is trans
parent to all observers who are not the
blind-those who will not see. 1t persisted
in, despite the fact that Republican Senate
increased by more than $2O,0O0,000 the ap-
preparation bills passed by Democratic
House, besides adopting Independent
measures that would, if passed, have render
ed necessary a large increase of taxation.
The old tricks are all discovered, aud the
professors of the political black art may as
we'll prepare to go out of the show business.
1t is as fatal to party as to an individual
who lives by legerdemain to commit the
mortal blunder of being found out,

The faith healers have been holding
convention in Chicago. The faith
healers hold that you can do anything
by thinking you can do it. and that
you can always feel just as you think
you feel. If you are sick you can be
cured by thinking you are well. If
you only believe you are well you are
well.
Some tough stories are told at this
convention. One DIR. Teed, related
that he happened where man was
chopping wood, when the man inadver-
tantly chopped his foot Off The doc
tor picked up the foot and placing it
back on the wounded stump, told the
man to believe that the foot was on all
right. The man did so, and the foot
was on as firm as ever.
That was hard tale, but Boston
man came to the front with harder
one. He said that man in Boston be-
ing tired of life, shot two bullets
through his heart. The mans wife
happened to be faith healer and made
haste to tell her husband that he must
not die and that it was physically i'm
possible for him to do so. The man
was persuaded that this was so and got
we'll with two bullets in his heart.
Now we have to suggest the editor
of the Leader as a fit subject for these
metaphysicians to operate upon. If
they can induce him to believe he has
any brains he may have some and a
miracle may be wrought.-Pain Deal

CARE OF GERONIMO.
The Chieftain to be Removed From
the NeighbOrhoOd of His old
Haunts.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The Presi-
dent has telegraphed Adjutant- General
Drum, the acting Secretary of War.
vesting him with discretionary authori-
ty as to the present disposition of Gero-
nimo and his band. When the Presi-
dent returns to Washington he will de-
eide on the permanent place of confine-
ment for these Indians. General Drum,
in pursuance of this discretion, to-day
telegraphed General Miles trasferring
this discretionary authority to that Of
ficer. General Miles will remove Gero-
nimo and his bucks at once from Fort
Bowie, which is near the mountains, to
Fort Bliss in the open country. This
precaution is taken for fear that Gero-
nimo might escaped at Fort Bowie,
where his flight to the mountains would
be essay; while, should he elude his
guard at Fort Bliss, he could easily be
captured in the open country.
At the War Department the idea of a
civil trial for these Apaches is scourted.
No witnesses could be obtained to the
numerous murders by these Indians,
because of the difficulty in obtaining
positive evidence of guilt in individual
cases of murder. Indians, like negroes,
army officers say, resemble each other
so much as to make Identification ofin-
dividuals difficult. Besides, in all but
a few cases of murder, there were no
living witnesses left; and, more than
this, most of the butcheries took place
at night, under cover of darkness. A
court martial, therefor, is believed to be
the only proper method of trial. This
view is concurred in by the United
States Attorney for Arizona, who has
telegraphed here explaining the diff
culties likely to be encountered in a
civil trial. The other Apaches-those
already in the hands of the government,
and who were not on the war path with
Geronimo-willb be sent to Fort Marion,
Florida, at once.

A Reminder.

The Republican programme in this district
is evidently designed to induce old soldiers,
irrespective of party, to vote for Mr.. Booth
man for Congress, because Boothman was a
soldier and lost leg in the army. Now, that
argument may do with Republican soldiers
in 1886, but let us see how Republican soldiers
and Republican trickster politicians support
ed soldier candidates in thep past:
In the year 1864, the 10th Ohio Congress
sional district consisted of the counties of
Defiance, Henry, Williams, Fulton, Lucas,
Wood, Paulding and putnam. James NJ.
Ashley represented the district several terms
and was re-nominated that year by the Re-
publican party. Over in the little village of
Kalida, Putnam county, on bed of suffer
ing lay soldier, Col. A. V. Rice, who at the
battle of Kenesaw Mountain left one leg and
received six other serious wounds. A Demo-
crat, and patriot he was the embodiment of
American manhood. The Democratic Con-
gressional convention with great unanimity
selected this wounded and suffering soldier
as a candidate against Ashley, a man who
never smelt gun powder and who used the
war only to advance the interests of Jim.
Ashley. The condition of COL Rice during
that campaign can best be shown by quoting
from his own letters, copies of which we have
found in the files of the Democrat:
On date of September 18th, ga, in a letter
to Robert N. Patterson, of Bryan the Col.
said:
u am yet suffering from my wounds re-
ceived in the assault of the enemy's work at
Kenesaw mountain June 9th. My foot,
though improving, is not sufficiently strong
to bear me and my stump is quite trouble
some when my clothing is on. 1 still keep
my bed most of the time and when / do move
about have to be carried"
On the 18th of that month in letter to J.
s. Norton of Toledo, the Colonel wrote:
"My intentions are, as soon as my wounds
have sufficiently recovered, to return to the
gallant men of my command, whose fortunes
have so long and so proudly shared"
Now, what was the result of that campaign?
Upon the vote of the people at home Col.
Rice carried the 10th district by majority
of $50.
In due time along came the returns from
the front-the army where Col. Rice had
fought and bled for his country-and there,
among soldiers, the vote stood:
Homeguard Ashley. $50
One-legged-7-time wounded Rice. 1896
Homeguard majority. ty.....................1,7 1854
And thus by the soldier vote Col. Rice was
sent to the rear by majority in the whole
district of 1924.
We only print this to remind Democratic
soldiers how their one-legged patriot was
treated by Republican soldiers in 1854. The
war ended before large number of present
voters were born, and is not an issue to-day;
we believe the ballots in 1886 will be cast up
on the merits of the two candidates for Con-
gress; but when Republican manipulators
and schemers seek to cajole Democrats up
on the soldier record let the Democratic sol
diers call their attention to the Ashley Rice
contest and see how the political patriots
for-revenue in 1886 will reconcile the posi-
tions of "then and now."-Defance Demo-
crat.
