You're Another One.

A disgusted Democratic tobacco raiser
reminded us last week that three years
ago one pound of tobacco would buy two
Of sugar, now it takes two pounds of to-
bacco to buy one of sugar, also that ten
pounds OF tobacco would buy barrel Of
salt, now twenty pounds will hardly do
it.-New Era.
Yes; and the same day sick Repub-
lican reminded us that this wonderful
reduction in the price of tobacco had
taken place since Foraker's election.
He also called our attention to the fact
that in New York City, IN State pre-.
sided over by Democratic Governor,
everything that the farmer has to sell is
a far better price than in any city in Re-
publican Ohio. Putting this and that
together" he was at loss to know what
the Republican farmers of Ohio had
made by electing Little Breeches Gov.
ernor.-People's Defender.
And we beg to remind you, Brother
Eylar, that Governor Hill and Governor
Foraker have no more to do with the
state OF the market in their respective
states than Bill Macy's toes have with
the London Times. The forces which
govern the market lie far deeper in the
problem OF demand and supply than
the feeble influence of State Governor.
It is but natural that the New York pro-
duce market should offer higher prices
than those of cities in the interior, as
New York is shipping point and lies
nearer to the seat of demand. Some.
times the market is perceptibly affected
by a change in the national administra-
ton, resulting from universal distrust,
but to assert that the governor of a
State is responsible for the good or bad
condition of the market in his territory
is to show ones ignorance of the real
laws governing the market. Such acsn-
clusion must arise from superficial OBJ.
servation of causes and effects, and the
terms superficial and Democratic are
synonomCIs.

It was announced when the consoli-
,lat.on OF the News and Herald was ef-
fected that tie name OF the paper would
be changed at some time in the future,
and the proprietors consider this an ap.
propriate time to change it. With this
ISSUE the HIonLASD News goes into its
fiftieth year, as a steadiast Republican
journal. The last, number was 53 of
Volume 40, the extra number being ad-
ded to keep the beginning OF the year
in the month OF April, where it was
fifty years ago.
Retaining the old heading OF the News
has occasioned good deal OF misunder-
standing on the part of advertisers and
subscribers, and to correct false i'm
pressions is one Of the purposes of the
present change. The proprietors Of
both papers constitute the NEWS. HERALD
Company, and the subscription list is
combined from the names on both sets
OF books. 10 advertisers large list Of
subscribers, with a reasonable rate for
space, offers q special inducement. The
patrons OF our job Office will take notice
that We possess the entire equipments
OF both offices, and employ one of the
best job printers in Southern Ohio, and
yet are prepared to do work as cheaply
as any Office that does honest work on a
reasonable basis of prices.
We have been studying the wants Of
our readers in general, and our efforts
have been rewarded by very percept.
ible increase in our subscription list. In
the future we shall continue to labor
for the benefit OF our patrons, that the
paper may still be conducted in their
interest as we'll rs our own. We shall
endeavor to have our news pages char.
actcrized by thoroughness, our political
columns by vigor and justice, and the

At the count Of the public money in
Washington the funds were two cents
short. At the count at the sub.treasury
in New York there we're Eve cents too
much. This leaves a credit for the Re.

The struggle between labor and capi-
tai has not yet reached terminus.
The strikers are not willing to obey the
orders of the clear-headed Powderly,
and thus the organization is crippled
by internal dissensions. Irons is an in.
veterate "blowhard" and has done the
knights much injury in promulgating
his rash idea that universal strike by
the order was necessary to adjust the
difficulty. The persistent attempt of la
borers to injure capital recalls the hoary
smile of one biting off his nose to spite
his face. A serious wound to capital
must be fatal to the labor which de-
pends upon it.

The great political evil OF the age is
the use Of money in elections 70 pur-
chase votes. The test Of mans
strength as q candidate is too often his
command nf money to buy off bitter OPP
psnents, or soften the animosities Of
the rabble with the flowing bowl. Many
a man is financially ruined by the steady
drain on his pocket.book in one or two
campaigns. The result of this nefarious
practice, should it continue to extend its
influence as it has in the last five years,
is not a pleasant subject to sober think
ers. It means the downfall OF all the
grand principles which underlie our
government, and the triumph of Doodle
and corruption over all the privileges
and institutions that the patriot holds
dear.
Neither party can claim immunity
from the blight of this national curse.
Both arc guilty Of crime against citi.
zensfip. The subterfuge of party or
gans is to charge the opposing party
with the wholesale use of capital to gain
office, without denying that its own fol-
lowers are guilty Of similar offense.
But that is not the fair way to treat the
subject. Every true citizen will openly
condemn political deviltry in any Of its
various phases, and the newspapers
should express its contempt for the vii
liany of modern electioneering in dou-
ble-leaded italics. The editor who at
tempts to screen his comrades in crime
is king of the knaves who find shelter
under his shield.
There are men now holding Office in
the United Statas, in the State of Ohio,
in Highland county, who owe their sue
cess at the ballot-box to the able assist
ance Of the almighty dollar. There are
more OF these men than the public sSs-
poets. The present lamentable state of
affairs is traceable to three sources:
First, ravenous desire for Office; sec.
ond, the profigacy of one class of voters ;
third, the wretched poverty of another.
Only two offices in our knowledge fol.
low the old habit of hunting up their
men. One Of these is, Road Supervisor,
in country districts; the other, Solicitor,
for the Incorporated Village of Hills.
boro. Wherever the salary of an Office
is ample, the candidates for it are more
so. There is very large class OF citi-
zens, or rather, inhabitants, who set no
value upon the privileges Of citizenship,
and thus become the eager followers Of
the candidate who rolls the biggest bar.
rel OF Doodle. As this class becomes
larger or smaller will the present danger
increase or diminish. The last division,
the smallest and most pitiable, is made
up of those whom the pinch OF want
drivesinto the bondage of the politician,
and who barter their rights for bread
ami butter.
1t is high time for the better element
irrespective of party, to rebel against
the management Of "the rascals in both. v
The sooner the good people of the
country redeem their lost supremacy in
the political field, by routing the rabble,
the better for all. Managing committees
in county, state and nation should
pledge themselves firmly against the use
of Doodle, and organize to prosecute all
violaters of the law.

Southwestern Ohio Normal school.

The prospect for large attendance
next term at the Southwestern Ohio
Normal School is more promising than
at previous sessions. The principal,
Supt. Isaac Mitchell, has satisfied the
educational public acquainted with this
enterprise that the Normal at George
town, Ohio, is an exponent of the true
educational idea.
The pupils soon catch the spirit Of
energy and earnestness, a characteristic
OF this institution, which urges them to
rely cheerfully on themselves, to make
themselves useful and agreeable in the
world; to be thoughtful, to argue WISE
ly, to unfold their talents, to shine, to
conquer, and to possess.
The great prosperity that has marked
this school during the past two years
has enabled the principal to make valu-
able additions to his teaching force and
facilities for reference and illustration.
The expense of boarding being re-
duced to minimum for those desiring
it, brings course of excellent educa-
tional training within the reach of every
young man and woman.
Teachers and prospective teachers
who feel need of more teaching power,
also prospective business men, mechan-
les and farmers, who can net devote
much time to going TO school, will fnd
here that which will throw light on the
road to modern mastery.-Cin Cincinnati
