THE AEMPHIN APPEAL
FOR 1856.

The APpeai enters upon ITS forty
sixth year ripe in he experiences Of
the last, aud full Of hope for a future
or the whole country, but especially for
this this and the nelghbsring States
that shall surpass the dreams of the
most sanguine. All the question
growing out Of slavery, and which left
tnearly three generations have been set
tied, and the states have adjusted them
selves to the new conditions in a spir
it OF unity, peace and concord There
are heretofore, no issues before the
country that are not common to all the
people, and that are not Of an econom
zeal and national character, There arc
no questions before the National Leg
tslature that do not equally affect the
he interestsoi the States and that can
not be discussed from a basis Of per
sonil welfare by the by the citizens Of
all Oh hem. For the future therefore
egisla, on both national and State, is
to be o. a business character, and Is
for that reason to come home closer
aud closer to the individual citizen.
Personal politics is with the bosses, to
be regulated the past, and civil ser
vice reform is to secure to the country
honesty efficiency and Industry in
public places. The political outlook
is all that could be desired. Presiden
Cleveland has made an abiding impress
sion upon this csuutry, and at the close
Of his administration viii have recon.

A novel bet was won and lost In Vine
street resort the other evening. A party
Of gentlemen were indulging In social
glass, and finally the conversation turned
upon the quality of liquors and the ability
of certain persons to judge them by the
sense of smell and taste. One man In the
party claimed that the best judges could
be fooled by the compounders, and. after
the argument became quite warm, made
the astounding assertion that large per.
centage of bar patrons did not know what
they were drinking.
The debate grew hotter and hotter, and
finally the man who had advanced such
outrageous ideas offered to bet basket
of wine that he could confound any one OF
the party so that he could not tell water
from whisky John Hummel. the circus
man, who has had varied experience In
the drinking line, accepted the wager, and
the preliminaries began. John was first
heavily blindfolded, and then number of
glasses, containing water. milk. whisky.
sherry, claret, Rhine wine and gin were
set out on the bar They were handed TO
the blindfolded man one at time. and he
was told to name the liquor after tasting
1t. He got through the list bravely until
he came to the gin. which he called port
wine. Then the man started him back.
but it was soon very evident that Hum.
mel's palate had lost It's power. He called
milk water, and finally was forced to ad-
NIT that oil the liquors tasted alike. and
that he had lost his bet. II was some
time before he was able to enjoy the wine
he had lost. Cincinnati Enquirer.

KOoNTZ, the Democratic demagogue,
who is weighted down with the official
title of Adjutant General of Indiana
has, has given up the contract of break
ing up the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, and starting an opposition organiza-
ton of Democrats. He abandoned it
because he couldn't succeed. The great
organization, whose foundation is fra
ternity, loyalty and charity, has gone
forward Indifferent to the schemes of
Koontz, and even in parts of Indiana
where a considerable portion of the vet
eran element is Democratic, he was un-
able to establisha single Post, and the
one he did establish at indianapolis is
going to pieces. So ends a puny effort,
and probably the last one, to disrupt the
Grand Army on partisan or other lines.

as the law contemplateS shall govern Mr.
Cowen's voting place? Before Mr.. Cow
ems return to st. Clairsville they had been
living in furnished rooms in one quarter
of the city, and upon his return these
ooms were surrendered and Mrs. Cowen
and her child went to another part of
the city, and into another ward and pre-
cinct, to board in the family of Mr.. Cow
ems uncle. VIII it be pretended that he
is entitled to vote in the precinct where
he lived before leaving Cincinnati? OF in
the precinct where his wife and child
have since boarded? OF course not in
the former. He has never resided in the
latter, never intended doing so, nor has
his wife From the very nature of things
the wife's employment is temporary and
her stay in Cincinnati uncertain. Clerk
COwen maintains an Office at Columbus
likewise. Suppose that thirty days OF
more before before next springs election
| it is necessary for the wife to go up there
and assist in work at that office-then
according to the logic of our able courts
and election officers, Mr.. Governs resi-
dence would be established there. Not
withstanding the courts, we do not be-
lieve the law is capable of such an absurd
construction.
Walter 5. Cowen had no legal residence
in the precinct of Hamilton county il
which his wife boarded at the time he
offered his vote, never had, nor never in
tended to. He lost his residence in the
precinct where he lived when he return
ed to St Clairsville, with the intention
of making that his home. He has nc
legal residence in Hamilton county. II
he has not here, he is another Philip No
Ian. We do not believe he is, and are
gratfied to know that the case will be
carried to the Supreme Court, and the
question definitely settled whether or not
mans wife can carry his residence, fol
voting purposes, around in her trunk
We still have faith that streak of COM
mon sense will be found in some court
and that this monstrous wrong will be
righted

mills on each dollar. and the Trustees
shall annually set apart such portion of
the road tax as they may deem best in
payment of contracts for permanent i'm
provement of the roads by macadamiZ-
ing. etc.
The aim of this law is a good one, es-
pecially that feature of it which looks to
permanent improvements. The expert
enees of the present season should con-
vince farmers and towns people alike
that it does not pay to maintain bad
roads. Very many of the former class
for weeks have been unable to get the
products of their farms to market, and
as a result the latter class have been
compelled to pay more for the necessa-
ries of life. This is poor economy upon
the part of both, and it is amazing that
every one can not see it.
The bill needs revision in some of its
details. 1t is extremely doubtful whether
the two days labor can be made availa-
ble TO contractors. As rule, that part
of road work is farce, because men who
are deeply interested in maintaining good
roads will not do an honest days work
upon them. In this county voting pre-
cincts contain parts Of two townships,
and hence there might be confusion in
executing the provisions of sections l
and II. These objections can easily be
remedied by amendments.
