their fortunes, hail them as cham
pions of monetary truth and shout
loud hosannas in praise of the
statesmen, who, with such cOnsum-
mate ability and such wonderful
success accomplished these mar
velous works, which are all paid
for 10y those "hewcrs Of wood and
drawers of wateT-the toiIiug mil
lions Of the United States? Sur
rounded by the spoils brought by
these wonderful Napoleons of
finance, how Wall Street sneers at
this estimate of gold and silver
made by Alexander Hamilton in a
report to Congress in 1871. "To an
null the use of either of the metals
as money is to abrdge the quanti-
ty of circulating medium, and is
liable to all the objections which
arise from comparison of II full
with the evils of scanty circula-
ton" If New York Republicans
do not indorse Mr.. Hamilton's ideas
of "honest money!" l am certain
that Ohio Democrats will heartily
agree with Thomas Jefferson, who,
in Il letter to Hamilton, approved
his report, saying: 81 return you
the report upon the mint. | concur
with you that the unit must stand
on both metals"
Those whose who gather the usu-
fruct, the believers in Mr.. Sher-
mans financial ideas, the enthusi-
astic, impulsive, warm admirers of
Mr.. Harrison or his monetary poll
cy, may declare Hamilton was
wrong; that he advocated reckless
legislation that such doctrine leads
only to wild imitation and results
i'll dishonest money; but the Dem
Ocratic party is not yet ready to
give up the teachings Of Thomas
Jefferson to follow the lead of any
disciple of the money changers.
The sage of Monticello is silent in
his tomb, but his words still live in
the hearts of his followers. The
noble Hendricks of Indiana, the
courtly Pendleton of Ohio, the bold
and brilliant Bogy Of Missouri, the
sturdy and sincere Beck Of Ken
tucky, have also joined the silent
majority, but their denunciation of
the demonetization of silver is not
by the Democrats they
so faithfully led for so many years,
and the Democrats of the West
will not abandon their teachings.

regard so long as the legal tender
quality of the silver exists for the
very reason that it is its own re-
dremer, and as such will not be
subject to such sudden or great
changes in value as mere com
modify. These predictions of evil
come with bad grace from the
men whose fraul of 1878 still CON
tiuucs fresh in the minds of the
people,
The weight Of the silver dollar
is another source of contention
which is to q < eat extent mythical
for the reason that no weight can
be adopted that will exactly repre-
sent the ratio between gold and
silver for any given period. Both
metals fiuctute in price and the
best that can he done in the mat
ter is to find fair average, adopt
that as the Stc,Rda3'd and leave the
fiat of the law to do the rest. We
do not fear either initiation or de-
probation for neither can go SO far
as to seriously affect business.
Therefore let us have unlimited
coinage but without putting the
government in the position of n
purchaser of all the product of all
the silver mines of the earth.

st. Valentines Day.

The history of st. Valentine is
familiar to all our readers, and the
occasion of his anniversary has
been utilized for ages by love.sick
swains and swainesses for an excuse
TO send silly verses, upon the sub
ject of love and matrimony, pre-
sided over by scantily clothed GU
pids, whose arrows were thought {
to pierce the hearts of the recipient.
But in this practical age when love
and marriage rarely go hand in
hand, the nude, winged god and
his arrows have about gone out of
business, and in consequence st.
Valentine and his day are grow
ing into disrepute.
The advent of the alleged comic
valentine containing some hideous
caricature and verse or two
sharpened with spice of yituper-
alton pepper of illnature, the salt
of meanness and SANDER has has
tened the day of departure. There
was never any real use for the
comic valentine, save as sluice
gate for the maliciousness of the
low and vulgar and we are glad to
see that the signs of the times in
dictate that the people in general
are becoming more refined and
thoughtful of the feelings of their
neighbors.
AS there is not any use for the
"Love token" the low, vulgar,
mean, malicious and vengeful sort
had best be tabooed and the old
Saint and his day forgotten. We
are glad to know that the privilege
of sending an insult through the
mails one day in the year, was but
little used in Logan this year, be-
cause 1t speaks we'll for the good
sense and refinement of our people.

What Your Paper Does.

A good, live, hustling, epterpris-
ing newspaper is a very potent fac
tor in building up city. The out
side world judge of town more
from the character of it's newspa-
per than from anything else.
"Show me a town with poor news
papers and | will show you a dead
town" is worthy saying Of a very
worthy man. Every good word
your home paper says for your
town, helps to build it up and
whatever helps the town helps ey-
cry person in it. You may not give
the paper one cent of your patron
age yet that same newspaper is
helping you to make money every
time it is published.-Ironton Re

The Cannl.

The fact that the Hooking Canal
has not paid expenses since the
State has had control, since it's
abandonment by the lessees, is well
known.
One reason for this is that it has
not been kept in condition for the
rapid and easy plying of boats la
den with freight. The fact that it
has been Il source of expense in
stead of revenue to the common
wealth has made the canal many
enemies, or has furnished an excuse
and ara ument for its entire aban-
donment which it's enemies and
those who for private reasons de-
sired its abandonment, were not
slow to sieze and use.
The high water this week has
broken its banks in several places
and will render necessary a con-
siderable appropriation to make
the passage of boats possible.
Under the circumstances the
abandonment will again be urged
ON the Legislature. Whether it
should be abandoned or not is
question upon which men may
honestly differ, but unless we can
have an it respond so that it may
he remunerative part of the pub
iic works, there had better be none,
as to restore it to the condition of
recent years, only, will be waste
Of the money of the State.

THE blowing Up Of saloon at
Fredericksburg, last week, endan-
gering the lives of men, women
and children and causing wanton
destruction of property, is an act
that should be condemned by every
law abiding citizen of the state.
True, it is alleged as an excuse,
that the saloon-keeper had viola
ted the law. Two wrongs, however,
do not make right and the tenn
perance people will succeed much
quicker ia their aims if they sup
press the hot heads within their
ranks and compel a strict adher-
ence to lawful methods. The laws
now on the statute books, if
enforced, would be sufficient to
close every saloon in the state

CoRRIGAN's FINE WORK.
Garfield Park People in a New
Row of Stumps.


Row of Stumps.
CHICAGO, Sept. 25.-Immediately after
the last race at Garfield Park to-day, the
jockeys were arrested, charged with vio-
lating the city ordinance prohibiting
the racing and riding of race horses
within 400 feet of public boulevard.
Their names are Hoggett, Higgins, Hen
messy, Keith. Weber, Griffin, Jackson,
Monohan and Easley. Bookmaker Al
Hankins was also served with state
warrant charging him with gambling.
The warrants were sworn out by JO-
seph w. Hamlin, an attorney of Hyde
Park, southern suburb. All of the
boys and Hawkins at once appeared be-
fore justice OF the peace and were
bailed out. This move was not wholly
unexpected, as quiet rumors have been
circulated for several days that such
action would be taken. 1t is not def
nitely known who instigated the pro-
ceedings, but it is supposed to be the
gan and the Hawthorne track. More
trouble of similar nature is expected
tomorrow. The Garfield track adjoins
Garfield park. Results Of to-day's

WORK OF ODD FELLOWS.
The Grand Lodge Fast Finishing
Its Business

ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 25.-The Sovereign
Grand Lodge of ODD Fellows to-day
voted down a proposition made by
Lieut.. Gen. Underwood to the effect
that members could become eligible to
the degree of patriarchs militant with
out going through the encampment.
A resolution was presented to re-
move the headquarters OF the
grand secretary from Columbus. O.,
to Baltimore, Md. 1t was referred
to committee. 1t is stated this res
olution will very likely be favora bly, re-
ported and pass. Efforts were made to
have another convention of the degree
of Rebekah next year, but the move
ment was overwhelmingly defeated.
The report of the committee on patri-
archs militant, on complaint of Frank
lin Ellis, was also considered. Ellis is
grand representative from Ohio, and
the grand lodge of that state preferred
the charges. Some time since when the
Office of the captain general which Ellis
held expired he assumed the duties
OF lieutenant general without any other
formality OF election except the applica-
ton of law. Shortly after this he issued
an order assuming command of the
PatrlarchS Militant. Gen. John C.. I'm
lieutenant had expired, had Ellis de-
posed and ordered his arrest. The grand
lodge of Ohio took exceptions to this
and entered complaint against the ac-
ton of Gen. Underwood. The COM
mittee recommended that no action be
taken in the complaint.
1t was decided to adjourn tomorrow
at 3 O'Clock. At the request of the jur-
isdiction of Wyoming, authority was
given to take steps to recover the prop
erty confiscated at Fort Washington, w.
L. The motion to hold biennial instead
of annual sessions was lost. The prop
osItiOn to extend the insurance clause
to the patriarchs militant branch of the
order, was rejected. 1t was decided to
allow the lodges to use the widows and
orphans fund for the erection of an Or
phans home and to allow all lodges to
make weekly payments to ill members;
the minimum payment to be two dollars
per week. The [. o. o. F. Building and
and Loan associations were given cold
shoulder by the lodge and it was deter
mined to deny the use of all emblems

The English Team Shows Up Well
After the Voyage.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Sept. 25.-Nearly
10000 persons went 10 the grounds OF
the Germantown Cricket CLUB. Man
helm, to-day, to see Lord Hawkes. team
of English cricketers play with an
eleven selected from the best Philadel-
pha players. The Englishmen were
first to bat and made very brilliant
showing, in fact. much better than was
expected, as it was thought they would
show the effects of their recent sea
voyage. They completed their first
inning at 4: 80 o'clock. with total of
259 runs.
In the half hour left to the Philadel-
phia, stumpS being down at 5:15, it
made twenty-nine runs without the loss
of wicket. In the short half hour that
the visitors were in the field their brill
liant fielding and team work elected al
most continuous applause. The field
ing of Philadelphia was not up to the
mark. Several noteworthy individual
plays were made. but the general team
work was not what the spectators an
ticipated. The "demOn bowler" Woods,
had no terrors for Coates and Scott. the
only two Philadelphia batsmen who
faced him, they hitting his bowling
freely. Play will be resumed at IL
o'clock tomorrow morning. Summary
