The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1886-09-28

Among other changes the SPIRIT
has passed through recently, is a
change in location. You will now
find us in our new quarters in the
Bank building, and ready to extend
all our friends a hearty welcome.
The ''boys" are happy as clans in
fresh water, and wear disfiguring
smile all the time, and from their
light movements would give the i'm
preston that they are treading on
air. From the angelic smiles that
chase each other DER their counte-
nances, you would take them TO be-
Heavenly beings, transplanted,"
but such is not the case, for there's
Devil" in the group. And-we
didn't intend to tell it-but it is ru-
mored that this last named individ-
ual, on the next morning after the
change had been effected, took the
well-known track to the old quar-
ters, and after going through the
many mystic movements, people OF
his profession indulge in, took po-
sition at an imaginary "case" and
picking up supposed "stick," pro-
ceeded to set in his mind a rather
lengthy article on an unknown sub
iect. He was soon discovered in this
condition, however, and gently led
down to his proper quarters, where,
after numerous explanations, he was
restored to his usual serene and nor.
NAL condition of mind. Force OF
habit is strong thing. However
We will soon get settled in our new
quarters, and Je able to get you up
better paper than ever before.

Berlin, the capital of the
German Empire, is remarkable for
many things, and among the rest for
its excellent city government. The
economic management Of some OF
the institutions which yield reye-
nue. to the city government and thus
reduce the rate of direct taxation,is
worthy of all praise. The gasworks,
for instance, yield an annual net
cash profit to the city of 100000
marks, or $1,O7l, 900, besides light
ing the whole city free of expense.
Counting the original cost of the
gas for lighting the streets at eight
pfennigs per cubic meter, this would
amount to $4,000 marks more, so
that the actual profit on the gas
manufactured by the city is nearly
five and half million marks, or
about 81 800, 900 a year.
The city waterworks, besides fur
nishing the water for all public pur-
poses, fountains, street sprinkling,
flushing sewers, &c, yield a surplus
annual revenue of 100000 marks, the
total annual profit on the water
works is 100000 marks, OF $685.
600. The city stock yard Central
viehof) yields net annual profit of
100000 marks, or $4,000. Thus
these three enterprises alone yield an
annual profit of 6,750,000 marks, or
81 ,666,500. This amount is more
than so per cent of the income tax
of the city, something for the tax
payers to be thankful for.-Tele-

. EAST OHIO CONFERENCE
OF the NJ. E. Church, at Alliance, o.

On Thursday morning, Septem-
Der 10th, the East Ohio Conference
of the NJ. f. Church was opened at
Alliance, O., by Bishop Foos. When
the roll was called one hundred and
twenty members responded. An ex-
animation revealed the fact that
eight members of the Conference
had died during the year. DR.. w.
H. Locke resigned the position of
Secretary to accept an appointment
to the position of Presiding Elder.
j. r. Keyes, who has acted as as
sistant secretary for a number of
years, was elected secretary by ac-
clamation, with I. J. Kurtz and /. X.
RAIDER as assistants. w. II. Has
kell was elected statistical secretary,
with S. Collier, d. w. Chandler and
j. j. Wallace, assistants. r. M.
Freshwater was elected treasurer.
and d. w. Knight and j. f. Fisher,
assistants.
When the Friday morning ses-
sion was called to order and the
business of the day commenced, it
was stated by Rev. w. L. Dixon,
presiding elder of the Cambridge
district, that matters damaging to
the character of Rev. Z. R. Jones
had been brought to his notice, and
he asked that committee of inqui-
ry be appointed. DR.. W. A. David
son was appointed chairman of this
committee. On investigation they
reported no cause of action.
/ A time was set apart for memorial
services on the death of the eight
members. w. II. Dickerson and T.
H. Taylor were ordained as elders on
Sabbath, and report was received
Of the young members on trial.
Rev. j. H. Doan, of the Beallsville
circuit, was transferred from the
effective to the supernumerary class.
On Friday afternoon, the men,
bcrs visited Mt. Union College in q
body, free tickets being provided
by a friend of that institution
About sixty members are graduates
of the College, or nearly one-fourth
of the total number present at Con-
| ference.
Among the amusing incidents of
/ the Conference was the offer of Rev.
j. w. Toland to present 800 to any
one who would get up new joke on
preachers and chickens. The Rev.
did not have the money to pay.
A very pleasant affair was the
presentation of an elegant solid
gold Elgin watch, by the members
L
of the New Philadelphia District, to
their Presiding Elder, Rev. E. Hing
ley. This testimonial of the. re-
gard was not lost upon Rev. Hinge
ly. His speech gave evidence of his
appreciation of the kindness that
prompted the giving. "It's. just like
you," was one of his remarks. The
watch was expected to take the
Iplace of handsome one stoler
from him some time before.
To the Alliance Daily Review
and to Rev. Fl. D.. Stauffer for fur
nishing us the Review, we are in
debted for a list of the appoint
ments. We give the two districts
in which our people are most inter
ested:

The Consnirators Beaten.

AS was expected, Hon. John Nc
Bride, Democratic cannidate for Sec
retary of State, has been vindicated.
He was charged by Chas. E. Neis-
wander, of Columbus, with aliena-
ting the affections of Mrs. Neiswan-
der. Like an honest man, Mr.. Nc
Bride demanded an immediate trial,
and within a reasonable time it was
given him. He came prepared to
prove his innocence, and there is no
doubt that tt could have been prov
ed to the satisfaction of all.
But. ne.
The parties behind the conspiracy
to Ssnirch Mr.. Brides name would
|Aot have that. On. motion of the
plaintiffs attorney the case was dis.
missed at the cost Of plaintiff. Mr..
Mcbride had no chance toproye his
innocence.
If ANYTHING were needed to COM
plete the evidence that the suit was
vile political scheme the action of
the complainant yesterday has GER
tainly made the chain complete A
full and fair trial was what the con-
spirators least wanted, and they
were nonplused at Mr.. McBride's
manly and courageous stand and his
demand lor instant trial.
What they wished and expected
was to have the election come off in
November with serious charge
hanging over his head that might
deter many good people from voting
for him. They knew that a trial
would show up all there was in the
case and lose to them their disrepu
table electioneering thunder. They
could not endure trial.
AS result John Mcbride is from
five thousand to ten thousand votes
stronger in Ohio than. he was be
fore. If any rightminded man was
wavering in his support he has be
come firm, and many voters who be
lieve in the sanctity of home ant
have respect for mans good nam'
will rally to his standard.
And now how does Mr.. Neiswan
der feel? But the Enquirer will lie
him down easy. He has been yer.
small figure in the affair. The les
said about Neiswander the better
Enquirer.

Ostler 10.

Ostler 10 raised acommotion among
the people before whom II was recited
by the lady elocutionist in Washing
ton. When one comes TO read the
poem one is struck with three things:
1, The tender pathos Of the lines; 2,
Perfdity Of the wife; 8, The thought
that the lesson conveyed is sadly
needed. When IL is possible for the
wife to leave her husband and travel
ing with another man, receive the
homage and adulation ofthe world be-
cause she is a professional beauty or
because she il a dashing actress or is o
song bird, then we say that this poor
world is upside down and those are far
from culpable who may read the
devotes of fashion pain homily on
the subject of perfidity.

from the east usually has q somewhat
difficult time in obtaining employ
ment, unless he chances TO have
friends who are well acquainted with
the various ranches, and who are
themselves old hands at the business.
In the first case his general appear
ance will In ninety-nine cases out Of a
hundred proclaim the fact that he is
tenderfoot, as such he Is in all cases
not a desirable acquisition, men Of
experience being what are particular
ly needed. The fact that living Is so
cheap in the far east, and also the ia.
cility afforded for getting there In the
fall of the year When beef shipping is
going on, has enabled a number of
boys who intend to lay off for the
winter, to spend part os their time in
the east. On their arrival there
they are naturally regarded as cur
iosities, and they are soon the center
of attraction of an admiring crowd
anxious to bear the actual truth re-
garding the free life in the west and
the increased opportunities for max
ing money. In such a situation as
this can the object Of attraction be
blamed for exaggeration? Somewhat
bewildered, perhaps, by the intricacies
of large city, and prompted by the
very apparent ignorance of his listen
ers regarding anything western, he OF
course becomes anxious to crafty theiI
desire, and does so, as a rule, to the
fullest extent. In this way many
boy, together with the able assistance
of the dime novel, is deluded into
coming west, only to find that al
though wages are high and the Life
wild and free to certain extent, YET
there is nothing to compensate for the
entire lack Of the luxuries of home
life. He always has the toughest
work, that which an experienced man
is not expected to do, and after the
novelty has worn offthe ambition fol
COW boy life becomes dimmed. How
ever, after he has become acquainted
with his surroundings and learned
the ways Of the life, in many cases
there is something attractive about II
that causes him to stick to lit, and tt
return to the east again would be
almost obnoxious to him.
