STRIKING CONTRASTS.

Presented in the Iuaction of Preside'st
Cleveland and the Prompt Course of
Governor Foraker aud President Grant.
Cleveland, the Democratic president, has
shown himself heartles not only in his treat
ment Of Union soldiers but in every case OF
suffering that would appeal to the heart Of .
man Of any feeling. Regarding his neglect
Of the citizens of Cha lesion after the terrible
earthquake, had rendered hundreds home
less, a prominent citizen Of Charleston said:
Il don't know what to make of Cleveland.
Here is a city absolutely destroyed-a city
which may be considered one Of the brightest
gems in his diadem, royalty speaking, abso-
lutely prostrated and the president never
lays down his fishing rod moment to say 9
word of sympathy. The least he might have
done would have been to issue proclama-
tion expressing his sympathy for the city and
calling upon the people. IL he had done his
duty he would have left off fishing and vis-
tied Charleston His presence here would
have done more to cheer the people than any
thing elsa Or he might have returned to
Washington for day or two and found out
what might have been done to help Charles
ton.
king Alfonso visited his subjects when an
earthquake visited them, and King Humbert
went into the cholera hospitals Of Italy.
Queen Victoria telegraphed her sympathies
to the people Of America on this trouble; but
President Cleveland seems to know nothing
about the earthquake in Charleston. 1t is
reserved for a Democrat president OF the
United States, elected by southern votes, to
ignore the greatest calamity that has ever
befallen the south and to enjoy himself
catching trout, while thousands of his fellow
citizens in Charleston are standing on the
verge Of eternity and have lost all they have
in the world
In striking contrast with this was the &C
tioG of our own gallant Governor Foraker,
concerning which the Chicago Inter Ocean
says:
Governor Foraker, Of Ohio, don't stand
around and yell for scissors to cut red tape
when the people of Charleston are suffering
for shelter. The Washington administration
acted like great boobies The idea that the
United States government could furnish but
'sev-nty five shelter tents is ridiculous. CIV
.rnor Fn-sksr sent 800 by express and If be
we're to maet with Trouble and have to pay
for the tents be has shipped, the people of
the whole country would make up the
amount in nickel subscriptions. They like
Just such pluck and decision"
While Chicago was yet burning Gen. Sher-
idan orie'e ed alrthe tents availabls and 100, 900
government rations sent at once His action
was at Oncs approved at headquarters. Pres
ident Grant attended the relief meeting at
Washington, and gave 81 900, and telegraphed
Boston. where fund was being raised TO

Science is sometimes sensible and practi-
voted to statistics, and figures, and mechan-
ical devices and contrivances, and usually
considered TO be one of the most solemn and
ponderous of journals, talking in this way:
Probably there is not the remotest corner
or little inlet of the minute blood vessels OF
the body that does not feel some wavelet
from the great CONFUSION produced by
hearty laughter shaking the central man.
The blood more lively-probably its chem
ical electrical or vital condition is distinctly
modifed-it conveys a different impression
TO all the organs of the body as it visits
them on that particular mystic journey.
when the man is laughing, from what it does
at other times And thus il is that good
laugh lengthens a mans life by conveying
distinct and additional stimulus to the
vital forces The time may come when
physicians, attending more closely than they
do now 10 the innumeTable subtle influences
which the soul exerts upon its tenement of
clay. shall prescribe TO the torpid patient
$50 many peals Of laughter, TO be under

do that for more Objectionable prescriptions
"a pill OF an electric or galvanic shock.
The point of this joke is that it is true.
There are on record instances in which a
good hearty laugh has saved a persons life.
But il was neither a simper nor sneer-it
was good, thorough, convulsing earth
quake of laugh, such as only an honest
man, engaged in an honest vocation, can in
dulge in. Many ailing people would do
well to try the laugh cure. And the man
who can discover a really good joke, old or
new, and can get it off reasonably well,
should administer it to his invalid neigh
bors.

Sszsral hundred young men of Spring
field will cast their first votes on Tuesday.
November the I'd. These young men should
consider carefully the history Of the parties,
now asking their suffrage. and their decla-
ration of principles upon the issues in the
present campaign, before determining with
whichspolitical family they will take up
their abode. We know that a careful, i'm
partistI study of the past and present of the
PARTIES will result to the advantage of the
Sfpublicans, and we therefore urge upon
these young men to make the examination
thorough. 1t is important to you, young
man. and important to your neighbors, your
town. your state and your country, that your
first vote be cast upon the right side. DO
not be deceived by any local pressure. t.
the effect that the labor troubles in Spring
field last spring should in any way be laid
to the charge of the republican party. That
trouble was precipitated by one man who is
nov supporting the republican ticket, but
who is in no way responsible for the prin-
ciples of the republican party and with
whose views on the labor question the
party is IN no sense in sympathy.
Make up your mind, young man, calmly
and without prejudice, and then If you IA
yor honest government, honest elections,
equal protection to all citizens, you will vote
the republican ticket

FRIDAY EVENING. ocTosER IS. 1885.
The Wigwam Meeting.

Scarcely in the history of Springfield has
there been such meeting as was beld in
the wigwam Thursday night. The people
were there in immense numbers and the en-
thusiasm was unbounded. The reference
of General Kennedy to his Decoration Day
Grafton and his position upon the question
of anarchism, communism and socialism
was only such as good citizens heartily en-
dorse. The original manuscript OF that
much-referred-tO Grafton was produced and
read from, and the sentiments and utter
ances attributed to General Kennedy were
found wanting. His denunciatiOn of such
sentiments was strong and forcible. but
there was never a word referring to the
.~orkingmen of Springfield as entertaining
and advocating any such sentiments. The
speech throughout was a mastery effort,
and will add another boom to the republi-
can campaign. Many incorrect impressions
regarding the views of the general on the
local situation were set right, and the hun
dreds Of workingmen who were present
.rrsnt home more enthusiastic than ever for
the republican cause. In the protection OF
their rights the workingmen of Springfield
will find no more enthusiastic advocate
and supporter than General Kennedy.
Through all this controversy the GLOBE
REPUBIIc has maintained the position that
the laboringmen of this city and country
have a right to protect their interests
through organizations, and General Kenne-
DIV planted himself squarely and unquali-
fiedly upon this principle of organization
last night. This forever puts at rest these
silly stories, and all republicans, working
men and all. will be found voting the repub-
lican congressional ticket The campaign

A wrangle then occurred about motion

decided that should any nominee receive a

he should be declared the nominee of the

Mrs. J. Ellen Foster. Of Iowa, has proba-
bly, the best regulated head of any Of the
Christian temperance women of the coun-
try. She is thoroughly educated lawyer.
and she has made the several and varied
phases of the temperance questions study.
Consequently her judgment in the matter is
intelligent and mature, and what she says
is not merely testimony, but evidence At
Pittsburg. recently, Mrs. Foster, in public
meeting. declared that she did not believe
in third-party prohibition, republican or
democratic prohibition. 1T must be con-
stitutionaI prohibition" she said. This
cannot be secured through the state legisla-
lures. They are composed of politicians,
and the statutes of the state will not stop
the manufacture and sale of intOxicants I'M
less the whole people demand it. The peo-
pie must be made to realize first that con-
stitutional amendment is necessary, and
then the people must demand Of the legis-
Iature that the matter be submitted to a
popuIsr vote. This cannot be accomplished
in a day, but it surely can be done. The
work is already making the speediest pro-
gress. Ii is noteworthy fact that as We
are about TO celebrate the hundredth anni-
yersary of the signing of the constitution,
there is a wonderful constitutional amend
ment agitation sweeping all over the coun-
try She predicted that in 1890 the ques-
tion as to the adoption of constitutional
prohibition would be submitted to the pso-
pie of the country and prohibition over
whelmingly adopted. But" said Mrs.
Foster. this question of constitutional
amendment must be kept out of politics"
Exactly, if people desire that constitutional
prohibition shall prevail.

pemocratlc Financial Management.


In the general indign4tion over the horri-
ble outrages in the way Of skinning dead con-
sicts in the peniteutiary, under the Demo-
cratic management, We must not lose sight
Of the effects Of that administration on the
business management of the institution.
Governar Foraker presented this aspect Of
the case in a very clear aud forcible manner
in his speech, showing that while under Gov
erner Foster the penitentiary paid S53,000a q
year TO the state, over and above expenses:
for the two years it was under Governor
HoadIy's administration the expenses wera
s2Sl, ,26i 81 more than the receipts. On this
subject Governor Foraker said:
You will observe that the expenditures
exceeded the receipts by the enormous sum of
S2Sl, ,36l 81. Of this sum, however, $40, 200
was expended for permanent improvements:
deducting this amount We have left a
balance of sos, ,O6L 81 as the net loss, for
which the state did not realize one dollar.
It seems almost incredible that there should
be such different results under Republican
and Democratic administrations But there
are the figures, unquestioned and unques-
tionable A net gain Of $5S,O per snnum
under Fosters administration, and a net loss
Of slO2, $50 IS for each year Of Hoadly's, or a
difference against the state and tax payers
Of SI04, 5000, plus 5000, or the sum of
sl55, go 66 per annum. In other words, had
the institution continued as under Governor
Foster the sum of $40, 200 might have been
expended for permanent improvements, and
the state would have been better off than it
is by the sum Of S3ll ,O6l b In other words,
two years of Democratic rule cost the people
Il Ohio S3l | ,O6l 32 in the management of the
c-nitentiary alone"
Governor Foraker stated that these figures
were obtained from Mr. Lang the Demo
cratic clerk, who served through the Hoadly
administration at the penitantiary. Seeing
the disastrous effects this exposure of the
trouble would have on their party, two Dem
ocrats 18th more gall than wisdom denied
that tbsSs figures had been obtained from Mr.
Lang. MIR Lang promptly swore to an afTi-
