Evarts on Halstead.

In his recent sledge- hammer speech in the
United States Senate, Senator William Nj.
Evarts, of New York, referred to the Ohio
Republican editors bombastic illumination
against Logan, Evarts and Teller in charac-
teristic terms. He said the Ohio editors
convention reminded him of parliament of
crows. All of one color, one feather, and all
speaking the same words, ''Caw, Cav, Caw."
The Senator then took up Chevalier Murat
Halstead, the King of the Crows. Unlike
Logan, Senator Evarts did not skin him with
a meat-axe, but with. withering parallel.
II could not understand" said the Senator,
show all this hubbub arose until 1 learned
from the Senator from Illinois (Mr. Logan)
that it came from the editor of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette. Some thought" he
added, sit was the roar of the lion. No."
said the Senator, playfully, ''it, is not the
roaring of the lion at all. will show you
what it is" Then taking up a volume of
Shakspere, the Senator read from the play of
Pyramus and 'Thisbe in "a Midsummer
Nights Dream" as follows:
OAOuV, Iuo 1AANoT. VIII uOb Uu0 ldu16b DC
afeared of the lion? " ''' .
Bottom, the Weaver: Master, you ought
to consider with yourselves; to bring in, God
shield usls lion among ladies', is a most
dreadful thing;fo there is not a more fear
Iful Wild fowl than your lion, living; and we
ought to look to it. 81 @s EH
lSnout: Therefore, another prologue must
tell he ID not lion. Sa
Bottom: Nay, you must name his name,
and half his face must be seen through the
lions neck; and he himself must speak
through, saying thus, or to the same defect,
Ladies', or, Fair ladies' would wish you, or,
I would request yon; Or, would entreat you,
not to fear; not to tremble; my life for yours.
If you think come hither as a lion, it were
pity of my life;no, / am no such thing; I
am a man as other men are; and there, in
deed, let him name his name; and tell them
plainly he is Snug, the Joiner"
This satire on Murat Halstead brought
down the galleries, and even the boys in the
5"pit" cheered Justify. Why don't our neigh
Dor of the Signal give his readers the good
things in this matter said by both Senators
Logan and Eyerts, two of the leading Re-
publican Senators? Come, Mr.. Signal, let
your readers know of the things of the
times. # 81 e ~ q

~ At last the new Post Master for Toledo
has been named, in the person of George E.
Lorenz. The nomination is said to be a good
one and pleases the people of Toledo almost
unanimously. President Cleveland is a
captain and knows to 7 what the people
wish. Mr.. Lorenswas not at al considered
in the light of a candidate for the position,
but il came to him almost wholly unsaught.
Now, that the yexed question of who shall be
2. NJ. of Toledo is settled, let it be hoped the
Democracy Of the future great will unite and
bring Lucas county into the Democratic
column for once and all time to come.

after his fences in the district. Mr.. Hill
frankly says he should like very much to re-

reasons-one that he is chairman of an i'm

Excitement i'm Texas,

Great excitement has been caused in
the vicinity of Paris, Tex, by the re-
markable recovery of Mr.. J. E. Corley,
who was so helpless he could not turn
in bed, or raise his head; everybody said
he was dying of Consumption. A trial
bottle of DIR. Kings New Discovery
was sent him. Finding relief, he
bought large bottle and box of DIR.
Kings New Life Pills; by the time he
had taken two boxes of Pills and two
bottles of the Discovery, he was well
and gained in flesh thirty-six pounds.
Trial Bottles of this Great Discovery
for Consumption free at J. G. Saurs.

- Bob Reece, of Paulbing, was in the
city again on Monday looking after his
chances for Congress. Mr.. .Reece reports
that he will go into the Convention with his
county solid and following from Defiance
county. This may be true, but it is our
private opinion that Defiance county will
come up solid for Mr.. Hill, but we hope all
counties IL the district in the end win come
to the support of Henry's candidate,
Judge Meek;son, who can sweep the district
clean.

IA The severest rain and wind storm that
ever struck Columbus visited that city on
Saturday. Buildings were unroofed, trees
uprooted and other damage done. The most
serious damage was the complete obstruction
of the large rolling mills. The building was
300 feet long by ITO feet wide: many of the
workmen were injured, but none killed out
right. The storm was also severe at Newark,
Delaware, Marion and other points.

scattered all over the South, the most inn
portant being in Alabama and Tennessee.
The number of new machine shops, iron
works, foundries, bridge works and similar
enterprises is very large and steadily in
creasing. Several new coal mines have been
opened. During the last nine months the
industrial growth has added to the number
of manufacturing and mining enterprises in
the south forty-two ice factories, ranging in
cost from $4,000 to $4,000, fifty-six foun-
dries and machine shops, one Bessemer steel
rail mill, sixteen miscellaneous iron works,
five foundries, nineteen gas works, twenty
three electric light companies, eight agricul-
tural implement factories lib mining
and quarrying enterprises, nine cot

BANKS AND SILVER CIRCULATION

In the month OF September there was
an apparent contraction OF national bank
circulation to the extent OF $3.50 ,250 in
consequence of bond calls. The imme-
diate actual contraction is, OF course, not
rs much as that, as the actual contraction
does not take place until the notes are
returned to the Treasury and destroyed.
There is no provision to secure the return
OF the notes except through the ordinary
slow, routine process OF redemption, and
the return Of notes unfit for circulation.
The banks take no steps to return their
own circulation. 1t will be several
months before these notes, which are re-
tired so far as the figures go, will be ac-
tually received at the Treasury Depart
ment and destroyed. The new silver
certificates, which are being issued, are
expected to take the place to some extent
OF the notes of the national banks that
have been retired. The estimate now is
that the amount of silver to be coined
the current year will reach 500, 900, 900.
Under the new silver certificate law it is
expected that most OF this will go to cir
culation in the form of certificates. While
this is not so much as was to have been
expected from a Democratic Administra-
ton, it is far better treatment than was
ever experienced under Republican rule,
by the friends Of silver.

CROAKING STATESMEN.

Republican statesmen are determined
to see no business prosperity or good of
any kind so long as the Democrats are
in power. In his jeremiad at Cincinnati
the other day, Senator Sherman shut his
eyes and declared: "Prices have fallen
steadily. Industries once fourishing are
now languishing. tits felt by every bust
ness man, farmer and laborer that dis
trust and a want of confidence followed
the election Of Democratic President. -
But the Senator overlooks one branch OF
business which has been entirely broken
up within the last two years, and that is
the business of waving the bloody shirt
and alarming the country in the interest
OF politicians. The gentlemen who used
to live by that kind OF work are all bank
rupt. According TO commercial and all
other kinds OF non-political statistics, all
other trades are looking up, notwithstand-
ing the mournful statement OF Senator
Sherman.

THE CHICAGO STRIKE.

The sudden ending of the great strike
among meat packers in Chicago, and the
fact that the strike ended ingoriously for
those who inaugurated it, will be OF
great benefit to the working people OF the
country this coming winter season, and
it will have the effect OF making men
look twice before they leap at the conclu-
sion that they have their employers ut Il
disadvantage and can therefore force them
into certain concessions which the law OF
the 5000 men who took part in the strike,
fully one half OF them lost their work.
and the other half lost a full months
pay, while the packers lost nothing.
The sending of depuattion from
Richmond was good move on
the part of the K. OF L., and the
action OF Mr.. Barry in conceding right to
the employees and wrong TO the strikers
will have the effect Of strengthening the
hands of the Order for future good, and
will gain to it friends all over the country.
While acknowledging the right and JUS
tice OF the strike, the DEMOCRAT now
more than ever believes it should be con-
trolled by central National power, and
never delegated to localities, to enable
men to bring odium on the whole Order
for the misdoings OF part of it. These
men in Chicago had no grievance and the
Richmond delegate very soon ac-
certained that part, but they
believed they had the employers
in position to force them to a
concession OF their point, and they were
wrong. The recent convictions in Chi
cago doubtless had deterring effect on
the rabble, as did also the presence of
large armed force, in fact, the absence OF
Martin Irons and the presence OF u
Barry is all that saved it from repetition
OF the horrors and outrages of East St.
Louis. Men who have families, and
those who are thrifty and look ahead for
themselves, will be careful this winter
how they place themselves in jeopardy
by following the action Of few harum
scarum men who have no tie to bind
them, and who delight in creating
trouble solely for love of it. The action
of the packers in adopting the November
scale OF payments voluntarily, which in
creases the earnings OF workmen ten per
cent proves they had no feeling in the
matter other than that of right, and they
maintained their rights. This is the first
instance on record of any moment, where
the direct action of the central power OF
the Order has forced the men to resume
work, and it will be OF untold good to the
laboring interests of the whole Order,
inasmuch as that it proves to them that
they cannot be wrong and expect the
countenance of the Executive Committee
and through them that OF the Order.
