The nomination of Calvin Brice by
the Ohio legislative Democratic caucus
for United States Senator is one to
which We do not warm. There are two
objections to it which we deem well
taken-frst, that it is carrying out the
undemocratic policy inaugurated by the
Republican party of turning over the
United States Senate to q millionaire
oligarchy; and second, that Brice is
"carpet. bagger" in Ohio, and cannot, by
any stretch of partiality, be considered
a representative citizen of that State.
The Democracy is the party of the
people, and cannot afford to follow in the
footsteps of the Republican party by
encouraging the idea that wealth instead
of personal merit shall be the measure
of qualification for Ueat in the United
States Senate.

THE ANDERsoNvILLE SHERIFF.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, January 1O.-E.
W. Nichols, q veterinary surgeon who
died here today from influenza compli.
cations, had remarkable war history.
He was a member of the Fourteenth
Michigan Cavalry, and was captured
and confined in Andersonville. He was
chosen sheriff OF the court organized by
the Union prisoners to punish a gang OF
comrades that stole their small supply OF
rations. Ten were convicted and sem
fenced to be hanged. Nichols had to
string the men up alone. On account OF
this horrible task, Nichols was Stunned
by other veterans since the war, and

Teachers Association.

Success crowned the efforts of the
members of the Southern Van Buren,
County Teachers association at their
first meeting at Lawrence last Satur-
day. Among the so present were all of
the Paw Paw teachers, with the eXcep-
ton of Prof. Higgins. County Secre-
tary Cornish and that hustling educator
Prof Pattengill also placed their
shoulders To the wheel and assisted in
the proceedings.
The published programme was car
ried out with much enthusiasm. The
papers were all deep, logical and inter
esting, provoking heated and searching
discussions which proved very profit
able and entertaining to both speakers
and audience, whatever tediousness
might otherwise have resulted being
averted by frequent vocal selections by
the Lawrence high school choir.
One of the drawbacks of the occasion
was the almost total absence of patrons
of the school. The manner and method
of teaching is of vital Importance to
the parent through its influence on the
child Much adverse criticism and
misunderstanding would be avoided
were parents better acquainted with
school and school work, and not only
this, but suggestions from parents are
always valuable and, if practical, aid
in bringing about the result so earnest
ly desired-a thorough education. The
next meeting will be held at the school
house in this place on Saturday, March
Sth, and it is hoped that all will attend.

of time extended so that all soldiers
would receive the back pension from
date of discharge. Uncle Sam is too

The disability bill should become a
law precisely as recommended by the

All Union soldiers and sailors should
have pension of one cent month for
each day service, but not less than So. 90
per month. They are as good as the
Mexican soldiers, any way.
Union eX-prisoners of war should be
treated just the same as white folks or
rebels. Pension them at from $500 to
$1,000 per month according To disability.
All the well ones, if there are any,
deserve at least $500 per month and
81 90 per day for during starvation or
confinement.
No widow should be asked to take
less than $500 per month for taking
care of minor children.
