THE Athens, O., Messenger. in advo-
eating the election OF Mr.. Foraker to the
United States Senate, argues that the
Republican party OF Ohio has loyalty
stood by Mr.. Sherman for many years,
and owes him nothing more. We'll, has
not Mr.. Sherman always stood by the
Republican party OF Ohio? And has he
not, by long, honorable service, during
which he has proven himself one of the
foremost statesmen OF America, won
the right to continued recognition?
Mr.. Foraker cannot fill the place occu..
pied by Mr.. Sherman in the roll OF
statesmen.

A number OF southern journals arc
enthusiastic for General Golf for Vice
President on the Republican ticket in
1892, and it is pleasure to note that
the suggestion OF the gallant West Vir-
ginia leaders name is received with
favor by the northern press. In an
editorial strongly urging Goif's claims
the Knoxville, Tennessee, Journal says:
And he is n Logical candidate. Ills state NAV
be classed In the list OF doubtful states. 1t Is
really Republican state No man In West Viz.
sinin possesses greater personal popularity than
General Golf. He merits. deserves It,, has It.
His name would Inspire West Virginia with I'M.
bounded enthusiasm. md they would work for
the success OF the ticket rs they have never
worked before: They would be successful. They
would break the Solid South GOff would give
US victory. Give lis Coli for Vice President next
year.
No man has been mentioned for the
Vice Presidency whose name would in
spirc more enthusiasm than that OF
General Golf. 1t has already been
demonstrated that he can carry West
Virginia. His majority for governor in
lSSSwas small, it is true-so small that
the Democratic Legislature was able
to count him out. Since then, how
ever, the Republican party in West
Virginia has largely increased, and will
poll in 1892 thousands more votes than
in 1855; besides which Genera, COT is
stronger than his party in the state.
With Gott on the Presidential ticket
West Virginia will place herself in the
Republican column and the "solid
south" will be broken. No man men
toned for the place would add greater
strength to the ticket. No matter who
ie placed at the head Golf would hold
up his end OF it, but with Blaine and
Golf the Republican victory in this
state would amount to cyclone.

President Polk on Farm Mortgage,

President Polk on Farm Mortgages,
President Polk, OF the Farmers ALI
nncc, does not seem to have proftcd
much by tho lesson OF the recent cleo
ton in Kansas. At any rate he is talk
ing as recklcssly as ever about the
grievances OF tho farmers OF tho west
crn states and making his usual ill.con-
sidcred statements about the amount OF
farm mortgages in Iowa, Kansas and
Illinois. Everywhere" he says, "the
farmer is burdencd with debt" Ills
remedy, MS he has always stated, is the
abolition OF the national banking sys-
ten and the issuing of money direct by
the government. President Polk does
not tell his hearers the whole truth and
his statements are as weak rs tho rem.
edy he proposes.
The proper way to treat this question
is the honest way. Suppose, for in
stance, that President Polk were to tell
how these mortgage debts camo about.
Do they not represent money borrowed
in good faith for the purchase OF land
which would not otherwise have come
into the possession OF the owners; to
purchase machinery, build fences and
houses, to buy live stock, and improve
the land and make it more valuable /?
Did not the man who owned the money
lend it in good faith, and did not the
farmer who borrowed it expect to pay
it when due? II not, were they honest
men? What would President Polk have
them do-repudiate their debts? His
remedy virtually amounts to this, for il
applied, it demands that the govern
ment issue worthless scrip to palm OF
on creditors.
I'll this money" says the Chicago
Tribune, "had not been borrowed. them
dcbted farmers whose cause is so plain-
lively championed by Polk, would not
now be farmers at all, or would not
now have the land. They would be
tenants for other people or working for
so much per day. They would have no
land or live stock; no wheat stacks or
filed corn cribs-nothing to sell except
their own labor" And yet President
Polk asserts that it is wrong to ask
them to pay their honest debts.
What do Polk and his followers mean
by Cheap money!" Simply money
that will not be worth rs much to the
creditor rs the money he loaned to the
farmer in good iaith. Is this honest /?
Our Chicago contemporary illustrates
this point by suggesting that one might
just as truly claim that % farmer who
borrowed 4 hundred bushels OF wheat
should be allowed to discharge the debt
by paying back Il hundred pccks, or q
hundred pints Of wheat, rs to argue tho
payment OF farm indebtedness incurred
in gold with a lot OF shin plasters worth
n few cents on tho dollar" and then
asks this pertinent question: What
right have the farmers to their farms
bought with other peoples capital ii
they do not pay what they owe on
them?
Honest farmers are not asking ior the
sort OF relief advocated by President
Polk, and that is why honest turner's
all over this land are regulating the
third party OF which President Polk is
the head, and which has for its leading
principlothis unsavory financial scheme,
and advocates SO ruinous policy.

The New CoMMANDER-IN-Cm
Attention is called to the fact that
the new commander-in-chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic John
Palmer of Albany] is not a general,
nor even colonel, but just a plain
ordinary captain, whose career as
soldier was a striking one. He en-
listed mt the outbreak of the war, and
was in continuous service until the
last gun was fired. He was successive
ly a private, a corporal, "A sergeant,
a sergeant-major, a second and first
lieutenant, an adjutant and a cap
tain, and he earned his promotion in
every case. He was in every engage
ment in which his regiment partici-
pated, and the fact that it lost over
300 men in battle is good evidence
of the perils it encountered. More

in the army and two Of his brothers
were badly wounded. II would be

other day he was informed that an
unruly COW had wrought desolation
in his Eden, he at once ordered the
animal sent to the pound. Then he
went up to view the wreck, and after
noting the vacant places where the
beets and corn had been, the tram
pled-down squashes and cabbages,
and the demoralized pea vines and
sunfiowers and ascertaining, as he
supposed, the owner of the COW, he
made out n writ against thatindivid-
ual, containing, SO the Fairfield Jour
nal is informed, fourteen different
and distinct counts, including tres
pass, forcible entry, malicious mis-
chief, nuisance, riotous and disorder
ly conduct, and assault and battery
with intent to kill.
1t was then learned that the tres
passer was his own COW, and his ire
cooled as he meekly paid field driv-

A Lengthy Lawsuit.

1t must be a human frailty to de-
light in lawsuits. Some people seem
to find their chief pleasure in being
miserable over them. The Buffalo
Courier cites an instance of litigation
long drawn out which rivals the
famous Iowa calf case. The suit is
that of Pollen against Bushnell, now
before a referee in New York, and tits
enjoying the twenty-seventh year of
it's continuance. During its progress
death has overtaken the defendant,
the original referee, four judges. three
county clerks and the original par
ties in interest. The present referee
has been engaged on it seventeen
years and the present stenographer,
eleven years. One lawyer has been in
it from the start, but he has grown
so deaf that he has to call in other
lawyers to help him. The notes of
one of the stenographers was found
in the Kings country poorhouse, of
which the stenOgrapher was an in
mate, and the lad who was sent to
subpoena him is now Il middle-aged
man. The interest on the sum orig
inally claimed would have twice
doubled it since the case began. The
costs involved are greater than the
original claim, and there is nobody
to whom the Judgment can be paid il
one is secured. But the case may
outlast another generation.
