it,:


Young Men of the West and the South:-We
can clean all of those Eastern pirates ont of
homes and the property they have stolen. We
can unite and whip them to reason and to
comprehension of the right. We can leave the
country northeast of the Allegheny mountains
to pay the national debt. We can unite and
make the Southwest the garden of the world
We can open the Mississippi river and float
our billions of produce down its waters to mar
ket. We can send our surplus products to
foreign countries by way of Southern cities.
With the proceeds We can line the West and
South with new railroads, open new mines, and
make the East bowling wilderness ia which
will roam the ghosts of the witch-burners and
of those Puritans who made fortunes in supply
ing the South with slaves stolen from the coast
of Africa. We can do all this. and you will
take this for your repast in the near future if
you do not burn your ill-gotten bonds and LET

is to be widow 1t is to be ten

poorest and most humble women you
meet, and feel your eyes fill at q to-

1t is to have your dear fashionable
friends console you afterthis fashion;
"oh, well, it is a dreadful loss. We
know you feel it, dear" And in the
next breath: "You will be sure to
marry again, and your widows cap
is very becoming to you" But it Is
more than this to be a widow. It is
to miss the strong arm you have
leaned upon, the true faith which
you know could never fail you,
though all the world might forsake
you; it is to miss the dear voice that
uttered your name with tenderness
that none other could give it. It is
to hear no more the well-known foot
step you flew to meet; to see no more
the face that to your adoring eyes



seemed as the face of the angel Of
God; to feel no more the twinirg
arms that folded you SO lovingly
the dear eyes, that, looking into your
own, said plainly, whatever it SEEM

If the object of the Potter investigation was to attack MT. Hayes title to the presidency, it will certainly prove a failure. The strong ter Gen. Key do not over state the feeling of a large majority of the American people regard | ing such an attempt. Mir Potter disclaims | any such intention, and we are inclined to be- lieve in his disclaimer

 What the Democracy really mean, is to throw strong back-light on the rascalities of Republican rule at the South especially on those connected with the electoral count in Florida and Louisiana. In anticipation of the old Song of the Bloody Shirt, next fall, they propose to show that there is a good deal more dirt than blood on the typical garment. All the new evidence they yet offer is the confes- sion of the Carpet Bagger. That political person naturally hates the President who righteously squelched him, and his quickened conscience is working powerfully in the inter- est of the Democracy. We never believed him he when lied on the Republican side, and, now that he is retracting hisoldlies and telling new ones, we believe him aslittle as ever. We trust him, only which he tells us what scoun- drel he himself has been, and now is. Will honest Republicans continue to complain of Hayes for going back on" the Southern Republican after the perusal of this precious collection of autobiographical matter now be- ing edited by Potter & Co?

 Incidentally the Democracy mean to dispar- age Sherman, Matthews, and the rest of the "visiting statesmen" by showing the kind of pitch they handled while the electoral count was making in Louisiana. The Apostle Paul probably disliked to be reminded of the fact that he held certain peoples garments while they stoned Stephen. So Messrs. Sherman and Matthews are nettled when they are shown to have looked on approvingly while Wells and. Cassanave, and the rest counted in Hayes. Probably the picture Mr. Sherman drew of those patriots on his return seems to him lit- tie high colored today. Still, no one expects evidence that will convict Mir. Sherman of di- rect cemplcity with fraud--unless it be some newly discovered evidence of Carpet Baggers, such as would not now hang dog, North or South. How then is Republicansm, North, to meet these disclosures of the rottenness of Re- publicanisnl, South? Certainly not by denying it norby denouncingan Administration for not fostering rascalty in the interest of partisan ship! The Southern policy of the President is polite as well as honest. Whatever doubts there may be in the mind of the politician whether honesty is the best policy in his bus- ness, as general rule, there can be no reason | able doubt in this particular case. The Car pet -Bagger is such monumental fraud" that no party can sustain him and live So long as Northern Republicanism fails frankly to adoptthe sound policy Mir. Hayes has inaugural ed, and to cut itself completely loose from the dead body of Southern Republicanism from its Andersons, Packards, Kelloggs and Patter- sons-it will continue to stink in the nestrils of an intelligent people.

The New York World is par er-
cellence the leading democratic jour.
nal of this country. 1t does the silver
business thus:


Those who have deluded themselves
into the notion that this scandalous
movement means simply the remone-
tization of silver will do we'll now to
consider whether it is in human ma
ture that q desire merely TO see two
kinds of metal used as money instead
of one kind of metal, should so ex-
cite the passions of great people.
Where 30 formidable an effect ap-
pears an adequate cause needs to be
found and the true significance Of
the silver movement must be sought
in the insolvency of great masses of
our population, who have madly per-
suaded themselves that their individ-
ual fortunes can be redressed by ad-
Indicating the whole nation into
bankruptcy. Ifthey are now to have
their will Of the credit and the hon.
or of the American Government, it
may IS we'll be plainly understood
that this bill, which has already been
openly described and advocated and
advocated by its most conspicuous
representative in the Senate, Mr..
VOORHEES,, as measure in behalf of
labor and the rights of labor against
capital and the tyranny of capital,
must inevitably lead to a systematic
and sustained assault upon property
in all the forms of credit, private as
we'll as public, What that will lead
to we prefer to leave our readers to

The Cincinnati Times, the leading
Republican paper Of the Presidents
own State, thus sums up and sets out
in brief sentences the logic of the
Louisiana trouble from the beginning
of it under Hayes. 1t is so good ,and
so true, that we copy it here editori.
ally to endorse it:


l. 1t Was perfectly correct to use
all the influence of the Federal Gov
ernment to protect the Louisiana Re-
turning Board from violence while q
President was being elected.
:. The President being elected, it
was no longer right to interfere with
the affairs of Sovereign State even
to protect its government from being
overthrown by mob violence.
3. But, at the same time, it scas
right to interfere with the affairs Of q
sovereign State by sending Com
mission to assist the mob violence in
overthrowing the aforesaid govern
ment.


4. But, the Returning Board hay-
ing elected President it is no long
err right to interfere in the affairs of
sovereign State to protect them fr
violence, so they are left to be sen
prison by packed jury.


5. 1t being observed that the Re-
publican North is cup on its ear" so
to speak, over the matter, it is con-
cluded to announce through the press,
that the President is getting . good
ready to be Indignant" on the SUBJ
ject.


6. He writes letter, and, in con-
sequence of the disgust of part of his
Cabinet, concludes to write another
with little bit moro indignation in
it.


z. The point over which he is in
dignant Is that the new Louisiana
government, established by mob
force, did not keep the bargain which
it made with the Commission in re-
turn for their help in overthrowiug
the legal government.
8. The net result is that the people
are SO diabolically disgusted with
that which the honest work Of the
Returning Board brought upon them
that it somewhat overshadows their
sympathy for the Board in the midst
'of their atrocious prosecutions.

plete their triumph by kicking him

"Here in our own little town we
have had a sad and truthful illus
tration of woman's injustice to
her sex. A man who held a
deputy county Office married a
woman of bad rcpute and brought
her here. The wife during the
the four years she renamed
here lived q pure, good life,
striving amid difficulties to
show to the world that she want
ed to lead a different life than
the one she had left. She was
never known to thrust herself in
any ones path, never even speak
ing to any person; always kind,
gentle and modest, And not one
woman in the town ever went
near her; not one of the many
Christians said to her we or l
will help you, but left her alone
to her sorrow and temptations,
and l trust Christ may have
found her wherever she may be.
