The Spring Election.

Democrats of Napoleon. are you aware
that the coming spring election is one Of
more than passing notice? For the past two
years We have had Republican mayor, not
withstanding the Democrats have majority
of over lbs In the corporationl Now, why is
thisl There must be some reason for it. It
certainly is not because the Democratic ranks
don't contain the necessary timber, for the
party has scores of available men possessing
all the requirements and qualifications for
the position. This being the case. then there
is no excuse for having Republican mayor
or continuing to have one. The remedy lies
in the coming caucus. Therefore, every
prominent Democrat should make il a SOL
emn duty TO attend the caucus and lend his
efforts towards the nomination of suitable
candidates for every office which is TO be
filed. II this is done, there is no danger but
that the ticket 80 nominated will receive the
undivided support of the party. Democrats of
Napoleon, will You do this much for your Or
ganization7 And what applies to Napoleon
may also apply to other voting precincts in the
county, SO that the exhortstion is appropriate
to all.

Abandoned Farms.

Secure home in New Hampshire where
comfort, health and prosperity abound" is
the alluring title of pamphlet of about 100
pages published by Commissioner Of Agri-
culture Batchelder. Il contains complete
directory Of 1,4OO abandoned farms" with
tenantable buildings, also a complete de-
scription and price of each. There is also
msp-which isnot painted red with "aban-
doned farms" like the Vermont commisson-
er's-and pictures of the picturesque noun
tains and valleys among which the decadent
farmsteads lie. But Mr.. Batchelder himself
with perhaps guarded pen, draws the most
seductive picture of all. The success of the
past is made an argument for the success
possible now, under conditions which have
changed since the Rrandfathers Of the granite
hills raised large and prosperous families and
laid by little money; the ready access tc
the Boston and other city markets is made
to Its best as bait to the buyer, and thu
varying quality Of the soils in the higher al
titudes and along the low, rich intervals be-
side the rivers, is explained.
This is no novelty for New England, but
for progressive Ohio. and especially this ricf
and fertile portion Of it, 1t is most certainl.
30. There is gradually formed feeling o.
discomfort among the farmers of this section
and IL 10 safe to say that half the farmers o.
the Western Reserve stand ready TO sell theil
farms at sacrifice should purchaser SHOW
himself. Nearly every farmer will tell yor
that ''Fifteen years ago held my land a
$75 and 800 an sore. Now would be glai
to sell for from $50 to $75." Although vi
have made speciality of sale bills for manl
years, we have already, during the twt
months of this year, printed more sale bill
than during any three years previous all to
gether. Almost every bill bears this opening
announcement Having decided to qui
the farming business, will offer for sale
etc. We will guarantee that If any one takei
the pains to visit each farmer In this county
he will find more widespread and intens,
discomfort than was ever known before
''Cattle and sheep don't pay," !" they say, ''ant
when we do get good crop, prices are st
low that there is no money In it.

wAl. Graham, the absconding Republi-
locked in Jail and will be tried and sent to
the pen, shortly. Why wouldn't he make
quite valuable adjunct to dime Museum
a Republican official short in his ACCOUNTS
Bowling Green Sentinel.
AL. has received his just deserts, imprison-
ment in the penitentiary for eighteen years
and to pay fine of about $126,0OO double
the sum he embezEled, and he is certainly
pretty much of curiosity, in as much as he
was nabbed by the authorities in New York
where he had gone from Canada on his way
to South America, expecting to find safe
harbor there, brought back to his native
town, tried and convicted, which is little
out of the usual manner Of treating Republi-
can rascals, for Canada any other countries
are full of them, and generally the bigger the
pile of their stealings the more the man in
the eyes of the g. o. p. Now, while we coin
eide with the Sentinel that AL would make a
valuable adjunct to dime museum, but he
can be put to better USE, which is this: Let
the grand old party exhibit him as a ourios-
ity, the proceeds to 60 to swell the Republi-
can campaign corruption fund. II would
pay better than frying the fat out of the
manufacturers or the 100000 raised by
Wanamaker! What capital idea, our Re-
publican friend.

BThe vaunted love of the colored man
by the Republican party has been regular
stock in trade article campaign after cam
paign not only locally but also nationally. But
this love after election grows cold 90 an ice
berg and the men who are the backbone of
the party of false pretenses are left high and
dry on the shores of the political sea. Here
iswhat correspondent Of the Atlanta Con-
stitwtion says: 'The colored voters poll 80
per cent. Of the Republican vote in North
Carolina. There are 730 federal Office hold
ers in this State, with aggregate salaries of
$4,000. OF these the ''9O per cent" ele-
ment get the awful arithmetic Of fifteen po-
sitions, with the annual budget of $4,000.
No one can deny the charge of injustice.
The solution is in the negro demanding his
rights from Mr.. Harrison, John Sherman,
Tom Reed and the Honorable Mr.. Oheatham,
M. @. from North Carolina, blonde African,
or boiling the party Of pillage and inconsist-
ENJOY" The neglect shown in this State is
parallel everywhere and in some cases the
actual state of things is far worse. The col
ored man is fit to vote but not TO hold Office
is the logical inference.

rNOur strictures of the week befora mad

wOur structures of the week before made
the Signal of last wsek say some very silly
things concerning the thieving auditor Of
Warren county, who was recently caught In
New York and brought back to the scene of
his rascality, and who received heavy SEN
tence and fine. And having no further argu-
ment than its silly slush to offer it wound up
its effort by rehashing the yellow dog vomit
of "wind-bag" and Judas, two former editors
of the Signal. Now, we wonder if the pres
ent management of that paper will succeed
in playing himself out as his two
predecessors have. He certainly is ON the
way, and with vengeance too. We under
stand he is already willing to part with half
of his business, and when that is accom-
plished the other half will soon follow. Our
advice would be, stick to your legitimate
business and shun ill-advised and evil CON-
pan;ons and let slanderers ply their own
game.

lBThe secretay of war has sent to the
House estimates and plans for navigable
waterway to connect the Mississippi and the
great lakes. There are two separate routes, one
to utilize the beds of the Illinois and Des-
PLANES rivers, from La Sale to Lockport,
and the other channel from Lockport to
Lake Michigan, at point near Chicago.
The estimated cost Of the Chicago route is
$48, ,282, ,76a; via the Sag or Calumet river
route, $46,094, ,213. (These are 14-foot pro-
iects.) The cost via the Chicago route on an
S-foot project is estimated at $26, ,S33, ,153, and
via the Sag or Calumet route at the same
depth, $23,S54, 400. England is building great

wBy an amendment made last week to
section 1107 Of the Revised Statutes Of Ohio,
all orders drawn by the county auditor on
the treasurer must be endorsed by the person
in whose favor the order is drawn, in the
same manner as is required by banks in cash
ing drafts. The treasurer cannot pay an Or
der without such endorsement. Heretofore
orders have been made payable "to bearer"
and could be transferred from one person to
another without any endorsement; but here
after all orders will be drawn payable to "the
order" of the person entitled to the money,
and he can transfer to another only BY en-
dorsing, as is done in bank drafts. The new
law was brought about by the irregularities
discovered in the recent defalcation of the
Republican treasurer of Warren county.

B-General Wesley Merritt. U. s. A., will
contribute to the April number of Harper's
Magazine an article entitled "The Indian
C,mpsiRns," accompanied with maps and
illustrated from drawings by F. r. Zogbaum.
The article gives memorable incidents illus
tratIna the different phases of Indian war
fare in the west. The campaigns referred to
are those against the Cheyenne, Apache, and
Ute Indians. General Merritt quotes and
confirms the portion of a report by General
declaring that it would have been
actually less expensive for our government
if an army of 10000 or 10000 had been main
tanned for the prosecution of these Indian
wars; "and, moreover, the blood Of gallant
officers, soldiers and citizens would not have
been rested on our hands,"

~ Honest tax payers, don't be deceived
by "Interliner George" He will tell you
that he has only drawn so and so from the
treasury, making it appear that he is doing
the work of the Office for less than his prede-
cessors. This is simply done to deceive, and
to strengthen his interests at the coming
election. While he is telling you this he has
his pockets bulging out with accounts
against the county, all of which will have to
be paid from the county treasury in due
time. But that time will not be until after
the fall campaign. Russell is going to take
all he can lay his hands on, just as he did in
the Dow tax matter, and as Republicans do
generally when they have a chance. Why,
look at the Republicans everywhere, they are
stealing themselves rich, and even down at
Washington in the Legislative halls they are
stealing the seats of rightfully elected Sena-
tors and Congressman. Why2 just because
they have the power and the hankering after
reaching out for things. 'Interliner George"
is one Of the same stripe, and again we say:
Honest taxpayers, don't be deceived.

il is. By the middle of July the returns are

be recognized these days by the sad look Of
disappointment on his face. He was prom

bargaired for and yelled yourself hoarse, for
