THURMAN AVENGED.

Cincinnati CommercialGa
Allen G. Thurman is avenged. The
bosses of the Democratic party in Ohio,
who have bought and sold the party for
many years, have made it a special point
to stand in the way of the national lead
erghip of Thurman, because he would
not allow them to make merchandise of
him.
Three times a candidate for the Pres
idency, he has each time been ignomin-
iously sacrificed by his Ohio enemies
In 1876, at st. Louis, his uncle, Bill AL
len, was thrust forward as a candidate,
expressly and only to wound, harass and
destroy Thurman. In 1880, in this city,
Mr.. Payne was used for the humiliation
of Thurman. In 1884, at Chicago, the
Ohio delegation was organized upon the
promise that Thurman should receive the
solid vote of the State, and Governor
Hoadley was put up to break the dele
cation.
Behind this development, through very
many years of carefully prepared Opposi-
ton, was malignant, sordid, brutal, per-
sonal animosity aimed at Thurman, on
account of his good qualities.
The Doodle faction of Ohio Democrats
took possession of the party, and spared
no crime to gain complete command of
the State. They nominated Hoadley for
Governor against the earnest and bitter
protest of Thurman, and they elevated
Payne to the Senate of the United States
with sheer bribery-over the indignant
and impressive remonstrance of Thur
man-and they sought to elect another
Senator by forgery, and to use the name
of Thurman to help them out; and his
latest public appearance was in trial
of the alleged and indicted forgers.
Thurman is the most obnoxious man in
the world to those who have been guilty
of the criminal rule of the Democracy in
Ohio, and their vicious hatred of him is
the highest compliment ever paid him;
and now the mad dogs, red-eyed and
frothy, that have bayed and snapped al
him, and sought to inhict upon him the
horrors of their own rabid condition
must lick his feet and hands.

IDEALS.

There is one bird that sings like that.
From Paradise it flew
ont the world with wavering plumage gay
When on creations glad awakening day
The morning wore the dew
1t is not nightingale or lark.
or divineT bird,
In mOon-tOuched forests dim with night and dew
In dawnStirred meadows, when the spring goes
through
Its voice was never heard.
Its nest? In boughS of fadeless bloom
Nowhere that We can see.
The winds have never found it, and the rain,
of wasting autumn, beats the leaves in vain
ON that immortal tree
Its age-itS country? No man knows.
Born for the worlds delight.
No bird that goes through splendOrs of the above,
Or homeward comes, down quiet twilight drawn
Has wings for such far flight.
Can no one find it? All the world
Is seeking it-afar.
Each in his turn has cried-''Lo it is miner
o bitter-sweeti still is the joy divine
Farther than flower from star.

f1uence. Her manner was that of exceed
ing refinement combined with strength
Like COrdelia's her voice was ever soft
gentle and low. She had keen w.t.
so keen that few cared to venture against
| its keen edge; but it was always used in
behalf of the right. And even when il
cut deepest, healing balm of kindliness
went with it to cure the hurt.
l copy from an historical sketch of
Mrs. McNeely's life, contributed to the
| Christian Standard by President LOOs,
an old and intimate friend, the follow
ing appreciative and feeling sentences:
"Jane d. McNeely was woman of
rare powers of mind. Her intelligence
was clear and acute; the views she took
of the important questions of human life
were large and noble, and all her inelina-
tions of mind and heart were always
toward that which is good, generous,
liberal and benevolent.
''She was very gifted and brave in ad-
yocating what she held to be right
This was always done with dignity; but
at times there could be seen, in the flush
on the cheek, the keen lustre of the eyes,
and the earnest vibration of the voice,
as well as in the forcible form of the
thoughts, the fire of deep conviction, of
love for the right and hate of the wrong,
that burned in her soul.
"She bore the bereavements which
death often brought into her family and
her own home and left her childleSS, with
tender sorrow, yet with heroic, cheerful
resignation. An invalid through a great
part of her life slender and frail-she
looked on life, as upon death. and the
world beyond, with cheerfulness and
hope-with rare happiness.
"But the supreme glory of the life of
this noble woman was the conservation
of herself to the good of others. 1t was
the not too common case of one nobly
endowed with gifts and fortune, who
ask but little for self, and reioices to
give, to live and labor, that others might
be blessed"
l have in my possession two mono
graphs from Mr. McNeely's own hand,
and with two different objects, which
set forth the causes that called his and
his wife's attention to the work with
which their future lives were to be so
closely identified; and can do no bet
ter than to follow the language of his
narrative. The writer

in this, and omit to state that he earn

view of the school which bore his name |
for so many years. Mrs. McNeely's sis
5er Mary, who was an inmate of the fam
ly for the last few years of her life,
oined very heartily in her sisters edu-
;ational scheme, and contributed her
means to it.

SPEAKING of the Indian Spring, why
would it not be fitting thing for the
Board of Education to change the name
of Beech Hill School to Indian Spring
School? There are no beeches there, nor
no hill. The change proposed would help
to perpetuate an historic spot, and the
name is more musical and in every way
more fitting. This centennial year is
favorable time to make the change.

SENATOR STEWART, of Nevada, pro-
poses to so amend the Constitution as to
provide that a majority vote shall be suf-
ficient to overcome a veto.
President Cleveland assumes that he
is part of the Legislative branch of the
government, and that it is his duty to
veto every measure for which he would
not vote if a member of either house of
Congress, be the reason partisan or other
wise. This is monstrous abuse of the
veto power. AS the law stands, two
thirds vote in each house of Congress is
required to overcome veto. This fact,
and the influence exercised upon mem
bers by threats of withdrawal of recog-
milton in matters of appointments, rem
ders the Executive almost omnipotent in
Mr.. Cleveland has vetoed more bills
than all other Presidents since the or
ganizatiOn of the government.

THE Mills bill has become the finest
example of log-rolling ever afforded by
the annals of National legislation. Ev-
cry Democratic Representative wants to
have the special interests of his own
"deestrict" protected, and is willing to
have the tariff go by the board every
where else. A bill framed, amended and
tinkered in that spirit promises to be a
conspicuous monument to Democratic
incapacity and decentralization.
