Last Cheap Excursion

OF the G. w. & b. for the Gin
cinnati Exposition.
The Cincinnati exposition closes
Saturday Oct. 9th, and commencing
the Sth, the G. w. b. r. r.. will un-
til and including train No. l morn
ing of 10th. sell excursion tickets
to Cinsinnati and return at half fare
including admission to the Fxposi-
tion the round trip rate from Nc
Arthur June. being $500. Special
efforts have been made to have the
closing days of the Exposition the
most brilliant and interesting of the
entire exhibition. The managers
can congratulate themselves on the
large attendance this season, but it
has been no greater than the ex-
hibit warranted. Here is one of
the finest orchestras of the West,
so instruments, playing the choic-
est music day and evening for a
price which is included in the very
low admission. Here is displa!
to suit the taste of the Farmer, TIL,
Mechanic, the Housewife or tn
Artist in some one of its many dc,
partments, not to mention the Ja-
panese Colony, of which we have
already spoken, sight which the
people go again and again to see
and study and always with renew
ed interest. Cincinnati is full of
visitors from everywhere and its
streets are made brilliant with the
throng and attractive sights that
are displayed to greet them. The
long limit of the cheap tickets now
offered enables eXcoursionists to
spend two days at the Exposition
and have Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday at Cincinnati after it is
over. ThessMetropolis will furnish
abundant entertainment to suit all
tastes.

That Wonderful Rule2

At the head of the examination
for teachers, at each session of the
Board of County examiners, is the
following remarkable piece of legis-
lation, passed by said Board.
"Any applicant detected in Civ
ing or receiving aid in any way
shall be deprived of the privilege
of appearing before the Board for
year."
We, when reading the above for
the first time, supposed we were
reading one of the sections of the
penal code.
We knew that only the Legisla-
ture had authority to pass any such
imperious statute.
When we pause to think that the
Board of School examiners are the
creatures of plain law, and under
that law charged with the duty of
examining all applicants, who may
apply and pay fee of fifty cents,
we must come to the inevitable
conclusion that no power exists in
the Board to make any such rule
binding upon an applicant for any
length Of time.
The Board may refuse to grant a
certificate to any person using dis
honest means to place fictitious
appearance upon their knowledge,
but here their power in that direc-
ton ends.
The law itself has undertaken to
determine who may and may not
be examined, and no power exists
in the Board to vary the require
ment.

Republican Convention.

The Republicans met in the Court
House on last Saturday afternoon
and quietly nominated a county
ticket. Yes quietly, is the proper
word, for there was but a meager
attendance and no special interest
was manifested in the result.
The meeting had not the old
time hustle and vigor. We missed
the presence of such political heros
as f. b. Baird, j. +. Wheeler, and
Charles Monroe, whose presence
always added life, spice and har-
mony, with big III. to such gath
erings and announced to the lockers
on, that although they led u forlorn
hope, yet the fight would be brisk
and sharp. But Baird has gone to
add turmoil to the politics of Perry
county, Wheeler and his political
influence is submerged by the en-
vironments of great city, and
Monroe, alas! has deserted the G. o.
p. and now trains with the prohi-
bitionists, and thus practically left
with no leader save G. w. McClin-
took, very little care was mani
tested as to who should be put for
ward as vicarious sacrifice for the
benefit of the G. o.p.
The following ticket was put in
the field to be beaten in November.
Auditor, j. G. Stone, of Benton;
Treasurer, w. w. Mcdonald, of
Falls; Commissioner, Samuel st.
Clair, of Marion; Recorder, no can
didate; Intirmary Director, Joshua
Jackson, of Ward.
The nominees are all gentlemen,
but in this respect are no better
than the Democratic nominees, and
no Democrat has any reasonable
excuse for scratching any name on
our ticket.

that Foraker has not only made
himself the laughing-stock of the
Democrats but of the sensible men
of his own party.
Our Democratic friends may
think it trifling matter to see CO.

upon the dried skin of some luck
less convict, or to string human
hide upon wire, to form a walking
stick as elegant as yard of petri-
fed Wienerwurst, but IL is u mo-
mentous question. The eyes of the
Nation are upon us, and this skin
problem has got to be solved, for
the glory of Ohio. We cannot have
ratttle-brained dudes running about
over the great State of Ohio, poking
under peoples noses sticks covered
with rotten human flesh, and re-
joicing in the possession of such
horrible trophies. The very nature
Of the times, the influences of the
hour, demand that we should give
our earnest, prayful attention to
this question of State. True, there
are other things to engross our at
tention, but we must not lose sight
of the question as to whether the
chief end Of man is to become II
razor-strap. This is the great issue
we have sprung upon the Demo-
Gratis. The dudes of Ohio, if they
must have canes made of mems
skins, should be compelled to keep
them covered with carbolic acid.
This is another phase of the great
question. And so we might go on,
enlarging upon this great issue, but

Meeting of the County Democratic
Committee.

In the hurry and hustle attend
ant on the soldiers reunion last
week, we forgot to mention the
fact, that the Democratic Central
Committee of the county met on
the 25 ult. and organized by the
appointment of J. b. Riason, of
Perry township, chairman, and w.
T.. Engle, of Falls, Secretary.
After organization the following
Executive Committee was appoint
ed: John Hansen, V. G. Lowery,
ID. w. Wright, and VIM. Waner. of
Logan, and George Widner, of Ma
rion township, John Short, of
Ward, John Hansel, Of Washington.
The committee then adjourned to
meet on call of chairman.
Immediately on adjournment of
the Central Committee, the Execu.
tive Committee met and organized
by the selection of the following
officers, viz. V. c. Lowry, Chair
man; ID. w. Wright, Secretary;
VIM. Waner, Treasurer.
The machinery of the campaign
is now in condition to do effective
work and we shall expect good re-
suits.

An Interesting Exhibit.

The Treasury Department has
published statement showing the
population, net revenue and net eX-
penditures of the Government for
the last fiscal year, with the err
capita of revenues and expendi
lures. The population is given Mt
5s,420,000 and the net revenue ut
$33G,439,727, being u per capita of
5.76 or .0G greater than the fiscal
year of 1885. The expenditures
were $242,4s3,l3s, per capita of
4.l5, or .24 less than that of the pre-
vious year, and this result is shown
by q Democratic administration
which we were assured by Repub-
lican crOakers, was not to be trusted
with the control of the machinery
of Government.
1t now looks to O man who re-
tains possession of his senses as II
the Democrats were fully equal ia

must decide whether he will cast
his lot with the republicans the
democrats, or the prohibitionists
If he votes the republican ticket he
votes for the perpetuation of the
principals of a high tariff which
eats up the pittance earned by the
sweat of the brow; if he votes the
republican ticket he votes for those
who robbed him Of his birth-right
and who do not intend that it shall
be returned unto him; If he votes
the republican ticket he votes for
the party which upheld the great
est swindles ever perpetrated in
any country or at any time. If he
votes the prohibition ticket he
virtually casts his ballot in the fire,
for ali the result it will have at this
time. While, IF he votes the ticket
presented by the democratic party,
he votes for the principals of re-
form and that a "public Office is q
public trust;" for the principles of
a like regard for American labor
ing men and American capitalists;
for the principles of economy in
the administration of the govern
ment and the holding of the public
land for actual settlers only. With
these pictures before him what does
the thinking man do? He casts
his vote for the democratic ticket
state, district and county.

A Real Treat.

The singing of the choir at the
Presbyterian church, on Sabbath
last was real musical and devo-

tally the morning Voluntary was
exceptionally fine, and we know
we but echo the sentiments of the
whole congregation when we thank
the ladies and gentlemen of the
choir for the pains they are taking
to make the musical part of the
service so attractive. Please ladies
and gentlemen let the good work
continue.

The Mexicans are growing very
bold again. Two of their police
men pursued culprit across the
Rio Grande, shot him on American
soil and then dragged him back in
to Mexican territory. And all this
without any regard to the laws of
the United States. If these Mexi-
can outrages continue we may
have to take Mexico across our
knee and spank her and send her
to bed.
