THEIR FULL NAMES.

The habit with authors of dropping
one of their names has become very gen
eral. How odd Francis Bret Harte sounds,
for example, yet such is the authors bap-
tismal name. Bayard Taylor's first name
was James; only few others than Viii
kie Collins intimate friends know that
his name is really William WilkieCOllins,
and so is the case with many others
Austin Dobson was Henry Austin Dob
son before he took up literature, and Ed
mund William GOsse is to-day known to
the world only by his first and last names.
Henry r. Haggard" sounds strange to
thousands of ears who knew Rider Hag
gard" Brander Matthews was christen-
ed James Brander Matthews, and Dutiield
Osborne is in reality Samuel Dutfield Os-
borne. Lawrence Hutton is cOntrac-
ton of James Lawrence Hutton: Howard
Seeley is Edward Howard Seeley, Jr.;
Frank Stockton is really Francis Richard
Stockton, while Joaquin Miller is cor
ruptiOn of Cincinnatus Hiner Miller. The
principal reason for this contraction of
names is that one name is undoubtedly
more striking and easier remembered by
the public than two.

AN IMPRESSIVE OBJECT LESSON.

AN IMPRESSIVE OBJECT LESSON.
Cleveland Leader.
\ new and impressive object lesson in
the revolutionary and utterly diSreputa-
BILE tactics of the Democratic party is
afforded in Detroit. The President of
the Board of Aldermen of that city and
two-thirds of the members are liquor
sellers. The liquor law of the State re-
quIreS licenses to be obtained and paid
for before liquor can be sold, saloons to
be closed on Sundays, and empowers and
instructS the police authorities to enforce
the law i'll all respects. The Police Com
missioners are appointed by the Governor,
by law they are required to maintain an
adequate force, and they have earnestly
endeavOred to enforce to liquor law.
This led, in the first place, to conflict
between the liquor dealers Board of Al
dermen and the Police Commissioners,
and later to square issue between the
Board and State authorities. When the
estimates of the Police Commissioners
for the year were presented, the Board OF
Aldermen. or the Democratic liquor deal
erS' majority therein, offered to approve
them if the Police Commissioners would
agree to instruct the police force to wink
at infractiOnS of the liquor laws This
was refused, and then commenced
startling onslaught of the Beard on the
police force. They refused to approve
the estimates for the payment of the sal
aries of policemen, and passed the budget
with this item reduced to S240, The ex-
cuse given was that the police force had
become burden to the people of the
H. NO. oil
force is, indeed, a burden" to law-break
ing salOonkeepers, and to the thieves,
gamblers, confidence operators, cut
thrOatS, and bruiSers that constitute a
large proportion of the patrons of many
saloons.
But this attempt to nullify the laws of
the State and to bulldOZe the police au-
thorities into submission to saloon dicta-
ton, is not likely to succeed. The Board
has been cited to appear before the Su-
preme Court and show cause why man.
damus should not issue compelling the
police estimate to be reinstated, and this
they are required to do forthwith"
They will probably learn before they get
through with the matter the Legislature
and Supreme Court of the State have
considerably more power than Demo
cratic board of liquor dealers presided
over by an un-American foreigner, who
is indicted by the newspapers nearly
every day in the week for numbering the
English language.
This reasonable attack of a lot of law
breakers. clothed with authority by the
Democratic party, ought to be warning
to every community. The alliance be-
tween the Democratic party and the GRIM
inal classes is natural and common
throughout the country, and whenever it
becomes effective, as in Detroit. an assault
upon the agencies that assure safety to
life and property, the observance of law,
and the punishment of crime, is sure to

SOME PROSPEROUS FARMERS

Saturday was busy day for County
Recorder Schuch and his assistants, as
they were kept hard at work from early
morning until late at night canceling
mortgages, the total of mortgages cancel
es having reached $4,000, the amounts
ranging from $500 to $4,000, but the
greater part were in sums less than a
thousand dollars and were held on town
lots and farming property. Wooster, d.,
Republican.
We invite the attention of the free
traders who are so sad-eyed and sorrow
ful over the condition of the American
farmer and who talk so tearfuIly about
the ruin which the tariff has brought
upon him, to the above item. 1t tells
the story of one days work in the Re-
Corder's office of one Ohio county where
there is comparatively little manufactur-
ing. There is nothing unusual about it. 1t
is just what is taking place at this season
of the year all over the State and the
country. There is no reason for believ-
ing that the farmers of Wayne county
are any more, or any less, prosperous
than those of the State at large. 1t is
fair to assume that their condition repre-
sents the average of the State. That
being true, this fact shows that the av
erage farmer of Ohio is fairly prosper
Gus, that, while he may have incurred
debts for improvements or given a mort
gage as security for the back payments
on his land, he is steadily paying off his
indebtedness.
The competition with the products of
The vast area of fertile land newly open
ed to settlement in the West, which owing
to the development of our railroad sys-
tenn, the farmers of our Eastern States
have had to meet in recent years, has
doubtless reduced the profits of farming
in very many Eastern localities, and
made it more difficult to pay the indebt-
ness incurred before that competition
was felt so sharply. But such facts as
the above show that in the face of this
competition the farmers of this State
are reducing their Indebtedness and are
in a fairly prosperous cOndition.-CIece-

| It is true, as was asserted at the tenn
perance meeting last Thursday night,
that the repeal of the anti-salOOn Ordin-
ance was not directly in issue at the re-
cent municipal election: vet it was un-
derstood by men generally that the three
candidates for Council upon the so-called
Democratic ticket if elected would vote
to repeal the ordinance, and it was not
understood that the candidates upon the
Republican ticket would Nevertheless,
it can not be fairly claimed that the vO-
ters of the town have expressed desire
that the ordinance shall be repealed. -
The question has not been squarely pre-
sented to them. Many Democrats, no
doubt, who are opposed to the repeal of
the ordinance voted for the successful
ticket
In any event, it may be well enough
to make haste slowly. Taking the people
of the town in the aggregate, and even
the strongest advocates of repeal must
admit that large majority are opposed
to repeal. And why are not the women
entitled to a hearing? Have they not
as much interest in the we'll being of the
town as the men? Surely, we are not
ready to turn back the hands of the clock
five hundred years, and treat the women
as the semi barbarians of that time did,
or treat them as they are to-day treated
in Turkey.

THE LIGHT OF EASTER.

Ger all the world in golden bars
In flashing glory lies,
The light that comes with Easter morn
From fair celestial skies:
With harp and trump the hosts of Heaven
Seraphic joys proclaim,
That from the tomb for sinners souls
The risen Jesus came.
In pain and tears the Savior wrought
ON earth saving plan,
Whereby from Satan'S grasp TO wreSt
The precious soul of man;
'GainSt all the foes of feeble flesh
With Jealous care He warred,
Until His bruised and bleeding form
In deaths dark tomb was barred.
From death to life triumphant rose
The martyTed Son of God,
As brightly rose the Easter sun
And east its beam abroad.
In His sad death the night of sin
Closed darkly on the earth,
But in His resurrection was
salvation given birth.
Though clouds of earth hang dark between
The Heavenly world and this,
And vail from sight of mortal eye
ElySian fields of bliss,
The Easter sun still brightly shines
Ger earth's remOteSt bound,
And freely sheds its saving light
Wherever man is found.

THE proposition to so amend the Con-
stitution as to provide for biennial cleo
tons is not calculated to strike people
fayOrably at first sight. The terms of
officers to be elected next fall will neces-
saFily be extended one year if the amend
ment prevails, and that fact will work
against it. The people do not take kind
ly to that way of filling offices.

"NO money shall be d1noOn from any
"cOunty or totonShtp treasury ercept By
"authority Of laoo," says Sec. of Art.
Y of the Constitution of Ohio.
This plain provision of the Constitu-
ton has been trampled upon and deied
by the Trustees and Clerk of Richland
township. They have attempted to drag
politics into it, and to compel the politi-
cal party to which they belong to endorse
their action. The party can not afford
to do it. If an officer violates the law,
he alone should bear the responsibility.
The public will take notice and bear
in mind that these men do not pretend
to deny that they have violated this pro-
vision of the Constitution. They confess
it, in fact; and expect their party in the
township to stand by them. Can they
afford to do it? Do honest Democrats
of the township think they are bound to
uphold officers chosen by them in every
thing they may do? Verify, we have
fallen upon evil times, if they do.
