it more and more popular as the pub
lie come to understand it,
! Money sent in an ordinary letter is
reasonably secure. But it may be
stolen, lost or destroyed. There is no
means of tracing it if stolen or de-
stroyed. The Register is safer in
this particular, that a rs"9rd of the
letter is kept and it can be traced to
the thief who stole it or to the car in
which it was burned. But its restor-
alton or value is not guaranteed, and
the sender is put to the expense and
! trouble. In the case of Money Or
der, the government issues dupli-
cate if the original is lost or destroy
ed, and thief will not steal it, be-
cause only the person in whose name
it is drawn can get the moneg for it.
Two instances occurred within
the last month that well illustrate.
A lady sent money order to pay
for subscription to magazine to
one of the eastern cities. After the
limit of time fixed by law had ex-
pired for the presentation of the or
der, the postmaster in Boston neti-
fed the postmaster of Logan that
money order No issued by him,
giving date and name ofremitter ard
payee, had not been presented for
payment. Inquiry was made. The
Order had been lost with other mail
in a railroad disaster. The remit
ter was handed back her money.
Another, gentleman in town pro-
cured an Order with which to pay
an insurance due in a distant city.
He sat down and made some calcu-
lations OH scraps of paper. In clear
off his table, he gathered the Order
with the paper scraps and threw the
handful in the fire. He called at
the Office next day and duplicate
was Issued, the bill paid, no money
lost. The fee is so very small, three
cents under sums Of $3.50. that per-
sons sending money away, should
certainly not hesitate to avail them
selves Of this safe method which tie
Post. office Service affords.

Postal Notes.

The Postofice is said to be good
business guage, the increase or de-
crease Of sale indicating dullness or
activity in business circles. The bus
mess of the Logan Postoftice for the
month Of March is an increase of over
10 per cent OF the business for the pre-
ceding month, and the Quarter end
ing March 3lst, an increase of nearly
80 per cent over the summer quarters
of 1894.
The following summary will give
the reader an idea Of the financial
transactions, but only a postal clerk
can appreciate the actual work, the
pieces of mail matter handled.
No of / cent stamps sold :. 1888
No OF 2 cent stamps sold. 13, 11S
No Of 3 cent stamps sold. .65
No of Special Delivery. ..15
No of Postal Cards. LIB
No of 2 cent envelopes $3.50
This shows an average of about 900
pieces of stamped matter dispatched
from the Office each day.
The excess of receipts of the Office,
for the month over all expenses is
$3.50, greater per cent profit to the
government than that OF the cities
claiming a population up in the hum
dreds of thousands.
There are Al Postoffices in the
county, % Of whose mails all pass
through the Logan Office, aggregating
in the number Of pieces of matter four

The money order business shows
equally an increase. During the

DECISION
Rendered by Judge Pugh Re
garding Use of Canal Property

Cincinnati Enquirer. adt1
COLUMBUS, April 8. s.-Judge Pqgh
Of the Common Pleas Court, to-day
decided two cases in which there
has been wide interest. One
John Walsh, of New York, attempt
ed to enjoin the construction Of the
Colambs, Hooking Valley & Athens
Road through buckeye Park.
Walsh's claim was based on the
rights of property owner in a
highway. He claimed that the state
could not abondon the canals in ia
vor Of railroad, and that if tue
canals were abandoned they would
go to abutting property overs. But
the Courts hold that the rights Of
abutting proprety along highway
and along canal are difernt, and
that the granting of the canal to the
road is practically carrying out the
provisions Of the original grant Of
land by the Government to the eff
feet that the land should be used for
public carrying purposes.

Oh, The Flag.

'1ewis Green left his sanctum ovei
at New Lexington about a third of q
century ago; he did not care to see
the stars and stripes. A. II. Wilson
was nesting liz 7cme secluded retreat
among the South Perry hills and the
sight of the stars and stripes was re-
puleive to him. The Massie law is a
good law and its provisions should be
carried out. What is more inspiring
or appropriate than flag flying above
the building where the boys and girls
of this nation are being instructed and
educated to become citizens of this
grand republic. What more inspir.
ing sight than to catch in the distance
the glimps of the stars andstripes wav.
ing in the breeze, just as was intended
in the Massie law. 1.-The tax burden.
ed PEOPLE" can't afford it. How much
would it increase the taxes of the
editor of the Sentinel? We would
estimate about one tenth of mill il
it were a tax, but it is not and il
would not cost the economical editor
that much.'
The foregoing is the peroration OF
an article in the Valley Journal,
which attempts to maintain that a
counterfeit flag is just as good as the
genuine.
We admit that this may be true SO
far as Mckay and 7. Allen are con
cerned for they are not able to distin,
guish the difference, but like all other
counterfits it becomes useless SO soon
as it is brought in contact with know
ledge.
But we dent care, and the worship
ers at the shrine of Massie may bow
down before any fetch they will,
Let Nc have flag coat and Tom
Allen blue breeches with stars
galore on, we don't care. in fact we
think it would improve the appear
ance of both.

Acting under legislative authority
and following a custom now estab

the Union, |, William Mckinley,
governor of Ohio, do hereby desig-
nate Friday the 2Gth day Of April

The object of thus annually proc.

that of agriculture and its kindred
sciences; and the subject Of the cul-
iivatIon and preservation of the for

economic Importance.

ties of our public and all other
schools to direct that appropriate
special exercises be held on the 26th
day of April, and that where it Is
practicable, ard if the weather be

For GGvern0r OF Ohio. Mayor
Allen Of Columbus

In the presence of magnificent
Democratic victory in our capital city,
and in the light of the prosperous Hay
den industrial enterprises in Logan
and III the Valley, we recognize in
Cotton Allen, Mayor of Columbus, the
proper man for our Democratic Can
didate for Governor Of Ohio.
His election by two thousand ma
jority in Republican stronghold, is
assurance Of his personal popularity
and credentials for leadership Of a
party that never dies.
He is not politician in the sense
taken of the term by the Office seek
ing circles or the manipulating gang.
He is a politician in the spirit of
good government and the establish
ment Of democratic policy; a man of
fixed political principles, a citizen of
honest purpose and of great resolution.
He has no office holding rec ord to ex-
plain or defend. His business career
is one of honor and success. His So
cial relations are genteel. As our
talented friend Casper Lowenstein
might eloquently put it, "He is
fresh sprung from the vitals of the
people. "
Mayor Allen will receive more
votes in Columbus than any other
candidate that may be selected. His
election is evidence of the truth Of
this declaration. His candidacy
will assure US the election of Sena
tor and Representatives from the
Capital district. This is as inpor-
tant as we think it is apparent. He
will get as many Democratic votes
in the state at large as any other
candidate because he is Democ rat.
His candidacy for Governor will
redeem the Hooking Valley, and
will give hope and strength and
good cheer to the fighting Democ-
racy of the state, who for the past
year, have been resting on their
arms, awaiting an issue and leader.
What say our brethren of the
press?

A. II. WILSON, EDITOR.

THERE is n way of reaching the
heads of corporations who act on the
principle that labor has no rights they
are bound to respect, as President Nor.
ton the head OF the Brooklyn street rail
road, who precipitated the late costly
strike in that city, has found out. He
declared there was nothing to arb-
tgate, and was as stubborn as mule,
when by little Cancellation he could
have saved the business OF the city
many millions, as well as lives and
property. His action so embittered
the public mind that, although the
strike was failure, the receipts of
the road have decreased 40 per cent,
and Norton has been forced out of
the presidency of the company by ag-
grieved stockholders.

denied empha;ically that the continu
ous fallof prices resulting from the
adoption OF gold monometallism has
benefited England OF any other coun-
try, or that any large body of the
business men in London are $50 un-
scrupu!ous as to desire that the debts
owed them by foreign nations should
be artificially augmented by change
in the value of the currency in which
they were paid" This statement of
the injustice done debtors by the con-
traction of the currency through the
adoption of gold nionometallism, and
of the reluctance Of business creditors
to profit by this injustice, was loudly
applauded by the buisn ess men pres
ent. One after another the bugbears
presented by the gold monometalIists
to frighten the country from rever-
sion to bi-metallism were disposed Of
by Mr.. Balfour, and in the end he
said he did not believe the common
sense of the nation would long toler-
ate such state OF things as now ex-
lists.
The fact that he spoke not merely
his individual opinions but as the
head of the Conservative party was
made clear by his bringing in the
names of the Liberal leaders as hav-
ing taken the position of gold mono
metalists and presented reasons
against reversion to bi-metallism,
which were ridiculed by Mr.. Balfour.
Now that the leader has spoken ont
clearly and strongly there will be BIZ
metallic echoes of his speech from
the Conservative platforms in every
part of Great Britain.
Thus in Great Britain and Ger
many, as we'll as in the United States,
the monetary question promises to
occupy the most prominent position
in the coming political contests, be-
cause it is the one that touches more
nearly the interests Of every person,
no matter what his rank, station Or
avocation.

Buckeye Mileage Tickets.

The subject of interchangeable
thousand mile tickets has of late
been receiving much attention at the
hands Of General Passenger Agents,
each with view of making his book
the most attractive by embracing the
greatest possible number of rail
roads and other public transporta-
tion lines, such as steamboats,, omin-
bus lines and electric railroads. The
Hooking Valley people have not
been back ward in their efforts in
this direction but on the contrary
have been continually adding new
lines until their mileage tickets of
today covers more than sixty trans
, portaticn lines, embracing territory
as far south as Evansville and Louis
| vile, West of St. Louis Chicago on,
the Northwest, Toledo IN the North,
Cleveland, Buffalo, Niagara Falls
and Salamanca on the east and
Parkeasburg Southeast. The great
number of these tickets sold shows
concfusively that they are appreci
ated, not only by Commercial
Travellers, who are continually on
the road, but by those who make
occasional journeys and are so en-
abled to use within the years limit,
one thousand miles of transporta-
tion. All books are sold at rate of
cents per mile, twenty dollars per
thousand, thus saving the purchaser
one cent per mile over the regular
local rates of fare. Parties interest
ed should call on Mr.. G. w.
Schwenke, agent of the Buckeye
Route at Logan. for a list of lines
over which these tickets are good or

INTERESTING LETTER.
A Well Known Business
Man Writes Concerning
Intrinsic Value.
Cor Portsmouth Times.


EDITOR TINES: A friend asks us
the question, "Whicl, has the greater
intrinsic value, gold or iron?" With
your permission we will answer
through the medium of your paper.
The term intrinsic value as applied to
anything meaus its utility and bears
no relation whatever to its price or
commercial value. To illus rate:
The intrinsic value of silver, aside
from its money use, isjust as great
with the price AT sixty cents per ounce
as it was when we had free coinage
and it sold for 81 20 per ounce. The
intrinsic value Of barrel OF -four is
nov just the same as when it sold for
$1,000 To determine the relative in
trinslc value OF gold and iron let US
ask ourselves this question: Which
metal could mankind do the best
without? Gold is very great repre-,
sentative of value in civilized society
IN the form of money, but it is only
because men, or governments if you
please, have agreed to make itso. Let
the governments Of the world cease
coming it into money and what be-
comes of its intrinsic value? Its use
for every purpose, except perhaps that
of filing decayed teeth, could be dis
pensed with without loss to mankind,
except to the owners of gold mines
and bullion, whereas iron has a value
in itself considered Iron fells the for
est, tills the soil, annihilates time and
distance and underlies the whole econ
omic structure, and man has never vet
discovered substitute for it. There
fore we conclude that the intrinsic
value of iron is greater than that of
gold because it is Of greater utility to
man.
