They have a Temperance Lesson up
in Vinton County. A young man
named Richard Malone, jr., at Rad
cliff, in that county, was found dead
on election day. There were sundry
cuts and bruises about his head and
face, and the Prosecuting Attorney of
the county felt it to be his duty to in
vestigate the case, which he did. The
result of his investigation is that the
boy-eighteen years old-drank about
a pint and a half of the simon pure
modern dead-shot whisky-and died.
The bruises were the resultss of his
falling, while too drunk to manage
himself. This should be warning,
but do you know, friends, how it will
work, as an example? Many Of the
young men will look at the picture,
think about it, and go and get
drunk. In the death of this boy some
doggery-keeper has achieved victory,
has gotten in his work. There is one
more home in mourning, and one less
shattered and tottering form reeling
about the streets, and disgracing
his nearest and best friends. Add a
little more strychnine, gentlemen, you
are getting out the right kind Of
liquor, at last.

BRO. Mackley is of those Prohibitionists who
wants to whisky go if its going will benefit the
Republican party but is content to remain If its
remaining will to keep that party in power.-
WarerLy WdtchmaR.
We would much dislike to appear
impertinent, or .discourteous, but any
reader Of this paper knows that there
has never appeared herein an utter
ance calculated to give the most re-
mote shadow of a groundwork for
any such statement as the above. We
have always felt, and persistently said,
that we wanted the whisky to go.
but we do not believe the way to drive
it off is by joining the Democratic
party, which is pledged to the utmost
freedom of the liquor crime. We do
not think it rebounds to the glory, or
prospect of success, of the ''Prohibi-
tion' party, that every Democratic
paper in the State is bowling praises
Of it, and urging that its mission is to
kill the Republican party. Why bless
your souls, friends, the Republican
party is being strengthened, instead of
killed. Were the Third Party to go
before the people year or two more
with the boast that some of its leaders
thoughtlessly made this year, that
they were going to kill the Republi-
can party, the Third Party would
cease to be heard of.

Ex-President Chester A. Arthur

Ex-President Chester A. Arthur
died at his home in New York City,
on last Thursday morning at five
o'clock, of apoplexy. He had been in
very poor health for long time, and
passed away as peacefully as a child
falling to sleep. He was fifty-six
years old. He was a fellow-teacher,
at one time, with James A. Garfield,
and was elected Vice President of the
United States on the ticket with Pres
ident Garfield. His was one of the
grandest lives in the history of this
great country. He was the especial
friend and champion of the colored
man during the days Of slavery, and
was always a true Republican. No
man did more to fill up and organize
our great armies during the war than
Gen. Arthur, and his life and services
must ever be inseparably connected
with the history of the country. He
began going to school as a poor boy,
and as soon as he was far enough ad-
yanced, taught village schools to OBJ
tain money to pursue his studies His
whole life is striking illustration of
the possibilities that lie before the
American boy. The members of his
Cabinet were selected as pall-bearers,
at his funeral.

Arthur Dead!
j. Fl. NJ.

No merry sound of revelry shall ring,
To-day, throughout the gilded palace hall,
Nor voice of cottage pleasure, answering,
From door to door, in sympathetic call;
About the home the woeful tidings fall,
That stamp the heart with trace of mighty grief
Through the dull cloud we look, with sorrow all,
To Deaths angel bind golden sheaf-
Then sthe patriot pride, to mourn a fallen chief.
A gloomy cloud hangs in the Eastern sky,
With quickcned thought we watch its gathering
fold;
While to the Westward pours the startled cry
Which bears the tidings to the gates of gold;
From North TO South, heroic sons behold
The cruel shadows of that sombre sign,
From South to North, the suffering heart hath told
The mournfu tale, along the weeping line
And through the passing gloom read of the power
divine.
For us, the noble manhood fingers still,
The lofty aim, the tender need of praise,
The patriot fire. the man of dauntless WILL
The tender sympathy of childhood days;
Around the grandeur of the mansion plays
That softened ray which bids hope eager rise,
And loyal worth in vivid light portrays
The dazzling splendor of the victor's prize
And points the weary soul to joy beyond the skies.
Not worth the living." Twas the cry of pain,
Wrung from spirit worn with suffering long,
Upon lifes pages we may seek, in vain,
nobler subject for feeble song;
Nations heart-strings, with affection strong,
Twine fondly round this wealth of noble thought
Which. through the surging of mortal wrong,
The stainless banner of the righteous brought
And on lifes battlefield, fame heroic wrought.
Half-mast each banner! Come with song and dirge
As fitting tribute to the honored dead,
While sorrows waves beat with angry surge
About the shadows of his lowly bed
Lay wreaths of immorte lies above that head
Which ever throbbed with pure and noble aim,
Let Freedoms lamp, in faultess beauty shed,
About his resting-place its magic flame
And in souls implan the grandeur of his fame

An old physician, retired from practice,
having had placed in his hands by an
East India Missionary the formula of a
simple vegetable remedy for the speedy
and permanent cure of Consumption,
Bronchitis, Batarrh, Asthma and all
Throat and Lung Affections, also posi-
tive and radical cure for Nervous Debil-
ity and all nervous complaints, after hay
ing tested its wonderful curative powers
in thousands of cases, has felt it his duty
to make it known to his suffering fellows.

relieve human suffering, will send free

The editor of the Scioto Gazette
wrote to Prof. Orton, inquiring his
opinion regarding the probability of
finding natural gas in Ross County.
The Prof. answers that he does not
believe boring for gas in that region
would be profitable, as it would be
necessary to go at least twenty-five
hundred feet, and case the well at least
fifteen hundred feet. All this may be
strictly true-probably Is 50. But
there is another reason why the bor-
ing would be unproftabte. That is
the fact that no gas would probably
be found after getting down there.
The idea that because oil and gas are
found in one locality they may be
found in another, is a good enough
one to theorize about, but not ii very
safe one to invest money on. They
have an abundance Of oil and gas at
Lima, Findlay, and other points in
Ohio, but the capitalist who invests
his money in boring in Southern Ohio.
will be pretty apt to get bored.

There has been much nick-naming,
in the political field, and the terms
"Mugwump, Dude" yellow Dog, "
and other dignifed appellations appear
quite frequently in the literature of
party politics. A great many men
have been led to inquire What is a
Mugwump?" "What is a Dude?"
and so on As near as the average
observer can determine, if there were
no Dudes, there would be no Mug
wumps. This latter term applies to
men who have ventured to demonstrate
with the more INSCRIPTIONS class of
politicians regarding some of the po-
litical methods that have obtained
For this remonstrance the offender
has been labelled "Mugwump," and
kicked out of the party. Unfortunate
ly, this class of politicians-or rather
voters-has become so numerous as
to be troublesome. By reason of this
class remaining quietly in their homes
during the last Presidential campaign,
the Democratic party carried New
York, and elected its candidate for
the Presidency. But away with the
Mugwumps. We cannot hope to get
them all back again. But there is
another class on the way out Of the
party, this time under the title of
"Yaller Dogs" Of course whenever
Republican objects to any nonsense
in the party management, he becomes
"Yaller Dog" and must go. Then
it is reasonable to infer that after a
while the Dudes hope to be the sole
possessors of the Republican machine.
And it is quite refreshing to watch
the conduct Of this latter class during
the conduct of campaign. Political
wisdom pours from the Dude like oil
from a cracked lamp. He commands
his servant to do this and that thing,
and expects him to do it. And the
voter is his servant! We recall many
instances where the Dude has been
sent to address the masses. One not
ably in this county, but year or two
ago, when the Dude was sent here to
educate our people. We stood in a
crowd of old Republicans and listened
for minute or two, when little
squad with mutual "Good Lordr'
walked away This class of politicians
is very effective in a campaign-ef-
fective in keeping voters at home.
What the Republican party will have
to do before another Presidential cam
paign, is to throw away all these
titles, file little of the brass off the
Dudes cheek, talk little calm reason
into the Mugwump, and in short act
like men.

A humorous thing occurred in one of
our general stores on last Thursday even
ing. a smooth-tongued, gentlemanly
drummer was discoursing upon the
beauties and advantages of a certain kind
of lamp burners, when the merchant
seemed a little hard to convince of their
merit. "Well," said the merchant, at last,
lets see the cut of your burners" The
catalogue was hastily opened, and the
drummer pointed with pride to a large
picture Of the favorite burner. AS soon
as the merchants eyes fell on the cut, he
exclaimed: "Why, l have handled lamps
with that burner on them, and it has
throaOn1 off as utterly worthless That
drummer had to go back, and start on
something else.

In the Ministerial Association in
Portsmouth, soms OFF the speakers de-
clared that the people of Ohio should
have a chance to so vote as to show
that 'they are not satisfied with the
Dow Law" A great deal of the talk
about the Dow Law is idle wind. Very
few people, perhaps, are satisfied with
it, considered as the end of legislation
on the liquor traffic. 1t is only one
step toward the ultimate breaking
down Of the traffic, and the sentiment
which sustains the Dow Law will con-
tinue to grow and intensity, until the
traffic will be overthrown. Will a
farmer permit field of weeds to

The Chillicothe Adoertiser seems to
think the Republicans should give
thanks to 1.-The almighty dollar" to-
day. The inference from this is that
a majority of the people of Ohio at
the recent election desired to vote the
Democratic ticket, but enough Demo
Gratis were bought to change the tide
Of victory. We don't like that view.
We are used to being told Of the
grand old Jeffersonian and Jacksonian
Democracy, and we don't like to hear,

Some of the Democratic papers find
fault with Judge johnson because he
did not resign before the election, and
thus give the Democracy chance to
get control of tine Supreme Court.
They had about as much chance of
getting control of the State of Kan
sas. Besides, our observation is that
the Democracy do not have very good
luck with manipulating Supreme
Courts. The best thing the Demo-
cratic party can do is to keep out Of
Court.
