In Troubles Within the last six
months number Of Germans living in
the eastern part of this county have
gone back to their native country, to
see relatives and in few cases to get
some money due them on estates to
which they were heirs. Now comes
word that they are having trouble in
getting away from Germany on account
of an order issued by the government
to have all such persons enrolled for
service in the army. One of them writes
that he is watched daily, and that lie
had to mail the letter sent Al miles from
where he is stopping, and that he has
been notified to appear for enrolment
for service in the German army. Their
friends are very much excited over the
outrage, and If the German-American
are detained will apply to Washington
for relief. Our minister to Germany
will no doubt have chance to look
after the matter Homes Co. Furmer.

ALLEGED CURES BY PRAYER.
Several Apparently Well Authenticat-
ed Casesin Otsego County, N. Y.

ONEoNTA, N. Y, Feb. 6.-The eff
cheney of faith and prayer as cure for
disease is no longer doubted in the
town of Milford, Otsego County. The
cures are wrought through the instru-
mentality of Miss Alice Benjamin,
daughter of cabinet-maker in that
town. For ten years Miss Benjamin
had suffered from spinal difficulty.
She was bedridden and had been given
upby physicians. A few months ago,
being member of the Baptist Church,
she made up her mind to try the prayer
cure. She prayed INCREASINGLY several
days and nights, and to the astonish-
ment of all she arose and has been in
good health since. @
She has since visited the sick and ap-
piled the prayer cure with success in
the following cases: Mrs, Fanny Cook
was in the last stages of consumption.
Soon after Miss Benjamin and she be-
gan to pray Mrs. Cook began to i'm
prove, and now has her place again in
the village choir. Mrs. Gertrude
Marcy, who resides near Morris,
brought with her from Hudson few
years ago a crippled child, her ankles
being twisted so she could not walk.
Miss Benjamin took her case in hand,
and the girl was soon running about
with other children. - .a.

GLADsToNE's POLICY.
Substance OF His Address to the Elect
ors of Midlothian.

LONDON, Feb. 4.-Mr. Gladstone will
tomorrow issue his election address to
the voters Of Midlothian, giving the ele-
ments of the policy upon which he asks
that constituency to return him to the
House OF Commons to fill the vacancy
caused by the fact of his accepting office.
In this the Prime Minister will state
that the new Government will institute
an inquiry into the entire land question
In ireland, and into the question wheth-
er there exists any necessity for the in
PRODUCTION of any specially coercive
measures I'm legislation for the Irish peo-
pie; but the main policy of the Govern
ment, the address will declare, shall be
to endeavor to reach the source and seat
of the mischief generally admitted ex-
lstent in that country. The following
Is one of the sentences contained in the
address and one which indicates pretty
plainly the outlines of the Irish policy
decided upon by Mr.. Gladstone:
although the difficulty of the task
makes it impossible to anticipate sue
cess with confidence, we shall draw
comfort from the knowledge that we
are engaged in great work of peace"
Mr.. Gladstone has issued his address
to the electors of Midlothian. In 1t he
says that there are three questions con-
cerning Ireland which demand the at
tention of Parliament-the question of
social order, the question of land reform
and the question Of self-government.
The desire for self-government, he says,
must necessarily be subject to the law
of imperial unity. The Government
hopes to find safer and more effectual
method than coercion to remedy social
troubles.

Downfall Of Man Who Was Once a
Political Power.
New York Letter in Philadelphia Times |

New York Letter In Philadelphia Times.l
A gentleman tells me that the aver
age public life in New York is ten years.
The remark was called out by seeing
Tom Murphy pass along the street.
Just think what power this man was
only a few years ago in politics of New
York and the nation. He was the
chum of nearly every leading man who
has made the history of this country for
the last quarter Of century. He was a
rich citizen when Gen. Grant took him
up and made him collector of the port
and started him into the controversy
which resulted in the appointment OF
Johnny Davenport as chief supervisor
of elections to prevent frauds in New
York. In those days he was welcome
guest in the houses of the bravest and
best in the country. He sat as hon0red
guest at all the great feasts, and he once
told me that his political experience
cost him over 100000. Be that as ii
may, he was poor when he left public
office. He is much poorer now. Only
the other night I saw him undertake to
get bed at q hotel, and the clerk would
not give it to him without payment in
advance. AS poor Murphy turned to
go away, the clerk said: "We have had
him on the list for a long time" He is
getting old and seems to be respondent.
How or where he lives none Of his old
associates seem to know, and most OF
them shun him. 1t looks little hard
that a man who once held his place in
life, and who was always open-handed
and free-hearted to a fault should spend
the last days of his life in poverty and
sorrow. But the world seems to get the
drop on man here in New York often
er than any other place in the world
and when it does they throw up their
down again. l have seen forty exam.
pies of this fact to-day, many of them al
most as touching as that of Tom Muir
ply. There are more old political hulks
scattered along Broadway than in all
the places in the land put together.

OLD ROsY'S DISCOVERY.
Uncle Sans Books Have Never Been
Balanced.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The Post to-
day says: "As the result of Register
Rosecrans' investigation of his bureau,
since he took charge of it, he has pre-
pared a bill to facilitate the business of
Treasury department. which, if it
meets with the approval of the Secreta-
ry of the Treasury, will be submitted to
Congress. Under the law the Register
of the Treasury is the chief book-keeper
of the government, and the books of his
Office are supposed to show the exact
condition Of the national finances.
Astounding as it may seem it is nev-
ertheless fact that the books of the
Treasury Department have never been
balanced. Accounts have been left on
the books from year to year and instead
of being closed up at stated intervals by
the proper debtor, credit entry, as the
case might require, they stood on record
as assets of the United States. On the
other hand. the names of many public
officials can be found on the books as
debtors to the Government, while as an
actual fact they have received certifi-
Gates of non-indebtedness, and do not
owe the United States a cent"
The bill which General Rosecrans has
prepared, provides for an entirely new
system of keeping the accounts.

Ex-President Garfield's Remains
Transferred to a New Crsket.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 6.-The re-
mains Of President Garfield were this
morning removed from the old casket
in which they have lain since conveyed
to Iakeview Cemetery, and placed in a
new bronze sarcophagus, perhaps the
most elaborate ever constructed. Its
weight was 420 pounds, and its cost
about 81, 900. The transfer was made
by Undertaken Jerry Hogan, of this

sentatives of the New York Metallic

Bohemian Oats,

FINDLAY, O., Feb. 8.-There is much
rejoicing over the decision of Squire
Ezra Brown of this city in test case
between one Si Walls and Mr.. Sager,
wealthy Wood county farmer, who
sold Walls ten bushels of Bohemian oats
at $40 per bushel, taking his note for
the same and signing a contract to sell
twenty bushels for Walls and at the
same price, deducting 25 per cent. as
his commission. Sager refused to fill
his part of the contract and claimed
that the Bohemian oats company was
responsible, not he. Squire Brown,
however, held otherwise and claimed
that the agent made the contract to sell
the oats at a set price and not the COM
pany and gave Walls judgment against
Sager for $50. As this is the first case
of this kind in this county the farming
community is loud in its praise Of
Squire Brown and have already formed
themselve into a company to prosecute
the agent of the Bohemian oats swindle
and will fight payment Of all notes of
that company.

The Cost OF a Bnshel of Corn.
Chicago Herald. |


There is q statistican about the Pal
mer House who declares to impress ev-
cry body with economic facts. Said he
yesterday: ''Do you see that man over
there? Well, he's a farmer down near
Elgin. There he goes with friend:
there going to get drink. The farmer
will pay for it. Now, let me see. That
man will sweat two mortal hours next
spring to plow enough ground to raise
one bushel of corn. That bushel of corn
he will sell for thirty cents. He is go
ing in there now to spend the thirty
cents for two drinks. Therefore, the
farmer and the corn have parted. Now,
let me tell you what becomes of the
corn. A bushel of corn makes seven
teen quarts of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ter gallons. The distillery gets its first
profit-forty cents a gallon. There you
are; So for that bushel of corn. Now
the Government comes in, 80 cents q
gallon-$3, ,85, added to the So, makes,
$5,S5. That brings the product of the
bushel of corn down to the jobber and
the wholesaler and, finally by several
stages, to the retailer. By the time it
reaches the latter the bushel of corn or
its product of four and a quarter gallons
has been reduced one-half, which
means eight and half gallons. There
are sixty drinks to the gallon--that is
the average and half gallons
mean 270 drinks at Is cents each
there we have $40 SO as the consumers
price for bushel of corn which the
farmer raises and sells for 80 cents. Who
says there is not industry in this coun-
try? But the farmer we saw just now
spent his whole bushel of corn in the
price of two drinks, and the people who
do not till the soil get away with

The above, in substance was sent to
the New York Tribune from Columbus,
and in reply to same the New York
World says: "The admission that the
Supreme Court is to be appealed to, not
forjustice but for Republican partizan
verdict is as deplorable as it is infa-

All of them were seated at the same
table.
A having a SIS note, handed 1t to B,
remarking that it paid SIS of the SIS he
owed b.
b passed the note to G, with the re-
mark that 1t tpaid SIS of the $40 which he
owed. .l.. --r.
Cpassed it to d, and paid with 1t S.
of the SIS he owed ID.
ID handed ii to F, in payment of the
$50 owed him.
E gave it to F, to apply on account of
the $3.50 due him.
f passed 1t back to A, saying, 'This
pays half of the amount owe you"
A again passed it to B, saying, "Inow
only owe you S..
b passed it again to G, with the re-
mark: "This reduces my Indebtedness
to you, to $40.
G again paid it to D, reducing his in
debtedness to SIS.
d paid It over to E, saying, ~ now
owe you $40.
E handed it again to F, saying, "This
reduces my Indebtedness to you to
$3.50.
Again F handed the note to A, say
ing, ''Now don't owe you anything"
A passed it Immediately to B, thus
cancelling the balance of his indebted
ness.
B handed it to c, reducing his in
debtedness to SIS.
Ccancelled the balance of his debt to
ID, by handing the note to him.
d paid 1t again to E, saying, 81 now
owe you $15."
F took $3.50 from his pocket, handed
it to E, and returned the SIS note to his
pocket, and thus the spell was broken,
the SIS note having paid $3.50, and can
celled AS debt to b, C's debt to F, and
F's debt to A, and at the same time
having reduced BIS debt to G, from $40
to S5, and DIS debt to E, from $50 to SIS.
Moral-"Here little and there lit
tle," helps to pay off large scores.
Money circulates from hand to hand
and business moves. Pay your debts
in full if you can, and if you cannot pay
in full, pay something. What helps
one helps another, and so the round is
made.-American Merchant. er1
The above narrative forcibly illus
trates the good that is accomplished by
keeping money in circulation. Sup
pose that A. had applied the same rea-
soning to himself that the U. s. Treas
ury officials apply to their duties and
that capitalists and bankers apply to
themselves. He would have said, Here
/ have SIS. Money is scarce. If 1 let
this 60 may not get any more for a
long time. / will lock it up in my
safe" Who would have been bene-
fitted? No one. Not even A. himself,
for his debt f$15 would have stood
against him all this time.
