Republicans and Morals.

Last week the lower House of Legis-
lature by a decided majoriety defeated
the Haskell local option.
We are glad to announce however
that Mr.. Rochester voted in favor of
the passage of the bill as did handful
of his cotempories, but the bill is effect
ually strangled.
So as the average Republican leg
is1ator can delude the people into the
belief that he is an spitome Of all the
virtue, morality and sobriety extant,
by loud and vehement speeches all
goes we'll, but when the opportunity
for showing faith by works the true and
hypocr itical character come to the SUI
face, and displays himself in his true
colors.
Sleeper, of Athens, was, during final
action on the bill, down the Hooking
ALLEY, working up sentiment in favor
of the proposed canal steal.
This will give him an opportunity to
continue the deception as to what his
final action might have been, notwith-
standing his previous declaration that
the passage Of the law would wreck
the Republican party:
Hencsforth let US hear no more of
the special affinity of the g. o. p. for
temperance and let its advocates look
elsewhere for recognition and sympathy.

CONTEMPT OF COURT.
A Unique Case Comes to Us
From Nebraska.

1t seems that Omaha has a Judge
Caldwell, who presides over the
criminal court, who does not propose
to have his judicial acts criticised,
hence Editor Rosewater of the
Omaha Bee is in Jail.
Of the circumstances of the case
the Cleveland Plain Dealer SAYS
editor Rosewater of the Omaha
Bee has been fined and sent to Jail
by Judge Caldwell of the criminal
court because he presumed to crlti-
else some of the acts of the court.
The alledged offense committed was
in allowing an article to be publish
ed in his paper charging that some
partiallty seemed to have been
shown by the Judge to certain Grim
inals. A poor man was sentenced
and the son of rich parents was
given his liberty. Both were caught
robbing depot. The word "pull"
was used in the article and this
proved the red flag that aroused the
Judge. The reporter who wrote the
article was arrested first for con-
tempt of court and then the editor.
Although the evidence showed that
Mr.. Rosewater knew nothing of the
article or its publication the judge
found the defendent guilty and
sentenced him to Jail, refusing to
give him chance to appeal" "
If the foregoing is a true state
ment of the facts in the case we are
of the opinion that Judge Caldwell
will find that he has exceeded his
authority and Will most likely dis
cover the fact at too late day for
his comfort.
We have always doubted the right
of Judge to punish for contemp.
acts and words spoken, written or
publishe ed ou. of his immediate pres.
ence while sitting on the bench in
his officisl capacity.
The only case, at all similar, in
Ohio, is the Myers case which does
not go to the length of this and is of
doubtful authority.
In such cases the judge may have
his action for libel against the of
fender, but in that the defendent has
the right to have his case tried by
another and an impartial judge and !
Jury and make his defense.
In contempt the proceeding is
and the defendent is wholly

OBITUARY.

Eva, beloved daughter of Joshua
and Sabina Johnston, was born in
Carroll County, o., in the year 1865
and died at her home near South
Perry, Hooking Co. O., April 20,
1894. Aged "a yrs. 6 mo. and 2l
days.
In early life her devotion and
love towards the members of the
house hold were especially marked
The forgetfulnes of self and re-
membranes others, endeared her to
the family, aud she became the best
beloved of the home. Her character
was remarkable for its purity, her
ideas and purposes were high and
because of her ambitious nature too
often her poor body suffered. In
the wiuter of 1885 she desired to be-
come Christian, and during the
protracted meeting held by Rev.
Thomas liass, she was happily con
verte,l to God, after which she lived
q devoted and earnest Christian un-
til death claimed her.
She was great sufferer for six
months previous to her death, but
she bore her suffering with Christ
ian fortitude and patience.
Her funeral was preached by her
pastor, Rev. Turban .at the U. B.
church, and her lovely form was
laid in its last resting place i'll the
Mt. Olive Cemetery.
Although her place in the home
and society is void there is one more
Jewel added, to swell the number of
the redeemed and blood-washed, at
Gods right hand in heaven.
She was a quiet, lovely girl,
Light shone where ere she went;
And since from earth dear Eva's gone
We know from Heaven she was sent.
A FRIEND.

A RESOLUTION.

THE Resolution declaring the Re-
publican Gazette and the Valley
Journal "Republican Papers" was
timely, was funny, was pertinent. 1t
needed something, and this was the
most on hand, to give these sheets
character. Their politics was indeed
much in doubt, the paper progeny,
SO to speak in the absence of previous
license to be born, needed identified
ton. They had to be called "Repub-
lican' in order to be Republican,
The dog Snyder is Snyder, because
he is called Snider.' says Rip Van
Winkle. The Gazetteand tho Journal
are Republican because the committee
calls them so. 1t is often charged that
Green runs the Gazette, which is not
admitted nor denied, and the suspic-
ion that such may be the case has
justification in the occasional smart
things that appear in that paper.
The Journal however, needed to be
born again. 1t was started in fun by
a school boy, it was suckled by cal
amity Johnston, it was put onto the
present keepers because nobody else
would own it. 1t Ishmaeld around
for awhile, and finally got notice by
opposing Mr.. Vickers for Elector,
which was virtually opposition to
President Harrison. and has the no.
teriety of having defeated him. 1t
was radically hostile to Senator Sher-
man on finance, and to Gov. Mckin-
ley on Tariff, and to drive a clinch-
ing nail in it's republican coffin, it OPP
posed the election of Gen. Grosve-
nor. With this record in the politi
cal turf, of course it was'ent in the
herd book, it wasent clean cat, it
couldent get seat in Bench show.
So the announcement of the commit
tee, like jury verdict, put the in
FAINT paperlet on the Republican party
The resolution, like blanket, will
cover up NANCY hair, and hybred
ears, and Lafe Eggelston, like a fa-
kir at a circus, can point out to the
gaping hero these two curios, saying,
''These are Lions, these are Repub-
lican papers"

The Pressure Removed.

WE breath much more freely
than we have done for a long time
In fact we are not oppressed with
the weight of determining the cause
of the hard times and the relief
causes us to rejoice with "exceeding
great joy
The veil has been lifted and the
pressure has been removed by the
Hon. Mr. Sleeper. of Athens, who
made speech OH last Thursday
night in the Opera House, favoring
the canal steal and the building a
hundred thousand dollar railroad on
its site and across the country from
Columbus to Athens.
The Hon.. Sleeper is statesman,
having learned state. craft at the
feet of Gen. Grosvenor, and re-
publican, and who has now gone
forth to scatter the wisdom of ages
among the hoodlums of the Ohio
House of Representatives, and hay
ing an evening off he generously
devoted it to the benefit of the citi-
zens of Logon, by telling them what
they want anl some other things.
In the course of his lecture he
told our people that the g. II. V, g.
T. ky made a sum of money every
two years equal to the original cost
of the road, and assured our people
that all the trouble, hunger and fl
nancial distress in this valley is
directly chargeable to the Hooking
VALLEY Railway that has embraced
this vale in pitil.n like coils, which
are as destructive of financial life
and prosperity as the simeon of
Arabia.
Hitherto Republican small fry |
have been charging all these evils
to Cleveland and the Democratic
party, but the charge is denounced
as false and malicious by the Re-
publican roarer from Republican
Grosvenor and Republican Athens,
who charges that all the distress in
this valley is caused by the Hook
ing Valley Ry., and as every valley
of our land has it's railroad the in
ference is plain.
Tell tin Columbus and publish
it on the streets and avenues of
Washington, that at last the truth
has been proclaimed namely, that
the railroads cause the hard times,
and that this reproach has been
lifted from the Democracy.
Let us rejoice, and sing praises to
Sleeper, for there is none in the
land so great and good as he at find
ing out things.
But Sleeper is not content with
the destruction and distress wrought
ii this region by one railroad, that
cost $4,000, 900 but he wants TO
atflict us with another that is to
cost 81, ,oOO,O 900 for no other concelv
able purpose than to steal what the
Hooking Valley Ry. don't want or
can't take.
We can stand the Hooking Val
ley Ry., and the Hooking canal, but
if the canal is turned into another
robber such as Sleeper says the e.
II. V. q 7. is, we will be forced in
TO bankruptcy.

What Is Public Opinion.

THEEE is nothing that is more
difficult to ascertain and to announce
with the assurance that one is right
than that which is called "public
opinion" yet there is no sentiment
or feeling that is more universally
spoken and written of than this same
"public opinion.
The uncertainty arises, not SC
much from a general diffidence on
the part of the public to give ex-
preston to entertained opinions, as
in the liability to continuous and
sudden radical changes.
| Notwithstanding, however, this
ephermal quality. there are times
| when, and subjects upon which opin
ion seems as steady as the sun in its
course, and as tenacious as the hate
OF an indian.
In our time we have an instance
of public DEMOCRATIC opinion, in
the almost universal demand for low
er rates of duty on the common
uecessaries.
Nor does it signify to them at
this time whether Cleveland favors,
or Hill opposes the change. For
their personal differences End dis
sentions, or which of them comes
off victorious, the mass of Demo
Gratis care as little as it Is possible
for men to care.
But tn. revision OF the tariff is a
vital question, wholly independent
of all men whether in or out of pub
lie life, and for this reason 'spublie
opinion is stable on this PROPOSE :
ton.
Representatives, Senators. and
President are regarded only as 4
necessary means to the desired end,
and each is being closely watched
and will be held to strict account
when they ask continuance of pub
lie favor.
The Representative or Senator
who is vain enough to believe that
his personal popularity will enable
him to disregard the wishes of his
constituents in this matter will
make a mistake that will bring his
political aspirations to fatal ter
mination at no distant day.
The tedious and exasperating tar
diness of the Senate upon the Tariff
bill is standing and dangerous
menace TO the party, and the Sena
tors who are causing 1t will have to
answer for their disregard of duty.
If there is no chance for COM
promise on the schedules, or on the
income tax, and no vote can be
reached in reasonable time the /
Senator's had better adjourn and
come home and go to rasing beans .
for their next winters feed

acts, "my part of the play is over,

eloquenting Sylvester took the floor
He recited the same speech he bat

Mr.. Yiekers be declared the choics
of the convention for judge &c
which "surprising" proposition Mr.
Vickers bowed his smiling and gra-
cious thanks. Of course Mr.. Nickers
was declared the choice of the con
vention. 1t was part of the play.
Then holding tight to Old Har-
mony the suave Sylvester modestly
and timidly, mind you, suggested
that the old officers, Lafayette
Eggleston to be continued chairman
of the committee and Mr.. HullS con-
tinued secretary.
The claws of The Boss showed out.
Pursell from paper in his pocket
presented for executive committee
of five and the three most anti Nc
Kay men in the country, viz: John
+. White, DR.. Campbell and Gus
Baird, and stopping moment to
enjoy the agony of the crushed and
deluded wretches, he, with the pat
ronizing impudence of Lucifer offer
ing an apple, said, in effect, he
would give the poor wretches rep
resentation, and named Weitzel and
Dollison, The one elected by the
least majority on the ticket, the
other defeated for second term at
an election where political lines are
seldom tightly drawn.
Then Pursell offered a Resolution
pledging support to Gen. Grosvenor.
This was a bitter dose to. the
McKayites, but they had to take it,
and did.
As wind up of the farce Judge
Vickers presented as kind of healing
ointment, salve for salvation,
resolution that the Gazette and
Journal be considered Republican
papers. Pursell burst out laughing,
unable longer to control himself.
But the dignity of the Boss must
be displayed in the closing scene, and
he gave his benediction with all the
JUNCTION of Grand Lama.
He toyed and played with the
McKayites like a cat before she de-
vonrs them, slobbered and salavered
over the facinated creatures like an
Anaconda before swallo wing them.
He shook hands all round. wanted |
to hug Mckay and expressed de-
sire to kiss Tom Allen whom he has |
frequetly published in his paper as
possessing Aquarlan tastes, and
feeds on things vermlculate.
So we have the same old gang to
fight. The same old procession to
pass. Lafe Eggleston holds the
reins, the Purselians are in the
wagon, the McKayites, what's left
of them, can walk, or if they ride,
must get on the tail pole of wagon.

OHIO'S SHAME

OK LAST Sunday, at church service
in one of our state Institutions, the
penitentiary, two of the officials, il
the presence of 1900 convicts in the
chapel, got intoa a regular dog fight
hitting kicking and biting each other
like wild beasts.
Deputy Warden Playford, at the
invitation of the Chaplain took posi-,
ton beside the minister, and was
about to speak some words of farewell
to the convicts, his term of
office about expiring, when he was
grabbed by another deputy who at
tempted roughly to pull him out of
the pulpit. Playford knocked Strack-
house down, the two clinched and
fought like wild beasts over and
around the ladies on the reserved
platform, the convicts bowling and
cheering on the fight.
Now good christian, republican
reader, this was not in darkest Africa,
this was not among pagan savages,
this was not outside of the pale of
civilization, it was in our own Ohio,
at church, during religious service in
state institution.
Shame on the Governor of any bar
barous tribe in the farthest jungles
of heathe endcm to have this happen at
even a canuibal council meeting!
What can be said of the Governor of
our own. our proud, our christian,
Ohio.
Governor Mckinley, clean out that
gang in management of this state in
stitution or resign. Ohio has lofty
pride. No whitewashing will do in
this case. We have had all the dis,
grace to our state the people will
stand.

REPRESENTATIVE Rochester voted
for the Haskell, local option law. The
Bill was defeated, as Sleeper of Ath-
ems claimed it should be, because its
passage would hurt the Republican
party. Our little Phil is christian,
by his vote he shows he is in church
but out of the republican, party.
Phil, we congratulate You. The
church is better place to be in, un-
less it be the chapel of the peniten-
tiary, than in the republican party.

Respect for the Sabbath.
Communicated.

Communicated.
, God has formed us to love him, an
endowed US with a nature fitted t.
this end. He has SO constituted u!
that whatever is beautiful we admire
and love. 1t is our nature, and thu
Divine Creator, the giver of every
good and perfect gift posses in him
self all these attributes.
He deserves our love, our obed
ience, our worship. 1t is our duty
to worship him, and it is both proper
and desireable that there should be
special times for worship.
A day is set apart for this. This
day is called the Sabbath, and means
! a period of rest. We need this rest
for body and mind. But the day is
not set apart for mere idleness. 1t
is counted sin for one to be idle
unless unable physically to improve
his time.
The Sabbath is a day for mental,
moral and religious improvement.
The mind needs rest and change
from one thing to the other, other
wise it would be overtaxed and the
result would be very serious.
The oheif advantage of the Sabbath
is an opportunity for moral and re-
ligious culture. Business men have
little leisure for religious thought
and for self culture, and if there were
no pause, no cessation from toll,
thoughts of higher life would soon
fade away, and men would know and
care for nothing beyond.
The government has perfect right
to regulate conduct on the part of
the people; but it does not enforce, as
it should and is bound to do, the con-
duct of the people ON the Sabbath,
saloons are kept open by closing the
front doors and opening the back
ones, and many other degrading
things are practiced on the day we
are commanded to keep holy. Some
people do not care for the Sabbath, or
in what manner they spend the day.
1t is high time that the authorities
should see to it that the laws for tie
keeping of the Sabbath are strictly
obeyed, and the condition of the
country, morally, would be greatly
improved.
The worship of God should mol al
ways be private. There should be
places of worship where the public
and those who need most moral and
religious improvement, may come in
and enjoy these services.
Christ came to save those who are
burdened with sin. This was his
mission, and it is our duty to do all
in our power to follow his example,
and help the poor, the lowly. and the
wicked in this world.
The worship of God builds up tn
best character in any people.
No intelligent mind can, for
moment mediate on the wonderful
works of God and not feel that he is
worthy of the alteration of every
being. ''Oh. that men would praise
the Lord for his goodness and his
wonderful works to the children of
men,"
