Some of our friends think our article
on the temperance meetings calculated
to create the impression that our peo-
pie have lost their interest in temper
ance. This comes from confounding
the temperance feature of the Colony
with the Worthington monthly tenn
perance meetings. The temperance fea-
ture never was surar Or stronger than
it is to-day. The temperance meetings
lost their interest to Il great extent
during the past year, and 50 decided
had this lack Of interest become that
the President suggested that they be
abandoned. But Il vote WAS taken ut
one of the meetings and it was resolved
to continue them and endeavor to re-
vive the public interest in them. If
the Executive Committee will take hold
and attend to it, they will always be
successful. Judging from the favor
Wit, which the remarks Of Mrs. Sllri-
yer were received ut the last meeting,
the introduction of lady speakers will
be Il decided improvement. Success to
the ladies' and the meetings.

To the Editor Scioto Gazette


1t is well to give at once, if you
have anything to contribute for the
benefit of those that are deserving,
and not withhold your offerings un-
til it is too late to be of service or
acceptable. to those for whom it may
be intended.


I have only one vote to give, but
that vote shall go freely to our solid,
worthy, gentlemanly friend, Col. A. L.
Brown, of Ross county, who I am
pleased to know was nominated by
acclamation for Congress, at Hills
boro. A "single vote" is not much
to offer, yet coming from Democrat
it should be the more priszd. I am
not alone in this Offering; there are
scores of people in Deerfeld who are
loyal Democrats that will cast their
votes for Col. Brown, who is well and
favorably known in this township. In
fact his name is ''household word
here. He is honored as ''man in
whom there is no guile" His gener-
al department as State Senator has
endeared him to many who have re-
quired his services in that capacity,
and as friends of his, we rejoice in his
nomination, and sincerely hope that
he will be elected, as we have un-
bounded confidence in his integrity
and ability to fill the position the
people propose to honor him with. A
majority of two hundred votes in a
Democratic district is quite enough to
show his popularity rs State Sen
ator, and we predict for him in the
coming contest q much larger ma
jority.


We are pleased to know that the
time has come when solid Democrats
with Republicans, will lay aside all
party prejudices and vote for the
man with an unimpeachable charac-
ter. Honest, sober, modest, gentle
manly Brown-long may you live as
our model Representative. B.

A special Columbus dispatch to
the Cincinnati Times of Saturday
night says:


State School Commissioner Smart,
after several weeks has returned. He
informs his friends that the scandal
published in the Sandusky Register,
copied in another paper, had its on
gin in enmity, arising against him
on account of his opposition to an
Ohio schooLbook ring.


Smart lies. The Register has no
connection, direct or indirect, with
any school-book ring. 1t does not
even know that there is such a ring,
and it did not base its structures
upon his scandalous conduct in this
city upon information obtained from
any person in any way connected
with the school book trade. Smart's
conduct here was the subject OF
street gossip and he cannot hide be-
hind any school-book ring, agent or
firm. II he is innocent of the charges
of improper conduct in this city, he
has a remedy in a court of law. He
knows that he is not, and hence his
silly falsehood that choolbook ring
is at the bottom of the charges made
against him. But we have still an
other dose for Smart, and there is no
school-book ring at the bottom OF 1t.

The Scioto Gazette tries to make
it appear that Hon. Henry L. Dick
ey, the Democratic nominee for Con-
gress, was not fairly nominated by
the Hillsboro Convention, and there
fore, very large number of Demo
Gratis will not support him. All of
which is without foundation or truth.
We are aware that there are few
Democrats in the District who claim
that the nomination of Mr.. Dickey
was the result of fraud, but they are
very few. The Gazette will find out
when the election comes off that it
is badly mistaken. We predict that
Mr.. Dickey will carry the District by
a largely increased majority.- Wa
verify Watchman.


The Watchman is undertaking a
very large contract when it under
takes to prove that Mr.. Dickey re-
ceived the Democratic nomination.
Of course there are many Democrats
here who will vote for Mr.. Dickey
because he is on the ticket, but we
have the first one to meet yet who
claims that he got on by fair means.
There are others many of them,
too-who look beyond the mera fact
that the name is on the ticket, at the
trick by which it came there, and
will not vote for him. So far from
Mr.. Dickey being able to carry the
District by an increased majority, he
will shave to hustle" if he carries it
at all, even if he is not forced off the
ticket before the election, to give
place to some person who can at least
present an honest nomination.

patriotic celebration of Centennial Fourth

the delirious indulgence of domestic
jar. The First of May is not awarded
its full dignity among the days that
date the beginning of new eras Other days
relate to arbitrary divisions of time, or cele-

more. The late combination, while it divert
ed grain from Chicago, diverted it also from
New York, and, SO far as the latter city IS
concerned, the diversion promises to be per-
manent.


It will not do to hug the delusion that the
low rates Of all-rail transportation can only
exist during the season Of lake navigation.
The Grand Trunk Railroad must, in the neces-
sity of things, have its terminus in Chicago.
It is now as remote from the great volume Of
business Of the West, as If it had no connec-
ton this side of Montreal. There are twenty
five and more railroads entering Chicago
from the west and southwest, bearing the
products of the great States and Territories
they traverse. The Grand Trunk Railway
has no direct connection with this trade, and
cannot have until it can run its trains from
Chicago md Milwaukee, and thus furnish
these cities with winter route independent
of combinations with the bankrupt roads OF
our Eastern States. When the Grand Trunk
Road is thus completed to the west side of
Lake Michigan, then the Great West will
have the great water route from April to No
vember, and the all-rai1 routes to Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, Boston, and all New En-
gland, without touching New York, or being
subjected to the exactions and extortlons
heretofore SO persistently practiccd.


The punishment inflicted upon Chicago
at such enormous loss to New York, and to
its railroads, has hardly been felt here in
pecuniary sense, and its repetition. is not
likely to occur. The business ut this point
promises to be greater this year than ever
before, ard the very means employed to
break up the grain trade of this city will
have the effect Of providing protection
against the possibility Of such proceeding
again.


Unless New York Gun provide some new
water route Of enlarged capacity, with deep
water, shortening the time of passage, if not
the distance, from Buffalo or Oswego to
the Hudson, and make that route free, it
may consider the Western trade lost, and
may place the responsibility therefor upon
the insane policy of its railroads, and its
own indifference to e1tortons and monopo-

It is not cur habit to make parade OF the
business or circulation of TIE TRIBUNE, or to
assail that of our contemporaries. The pub
Gshers are satisfied with the measure OF pa
tronaee which TIE TRIBUNE enjoys. It has
been the great advertising medium of this
city for many years, because it is the business
mems newspaper. It is taken and read by
all classes Of people who have any property
or thing to sell, lease, or loan, Or any money
with which to make purchases or investments,
or any useful services to hire or engage. 1t
is patronized by all those who are in trade
and commerce, banking, insurance, naviga~
ton, common-carrying, producing and dis

the same with fragment Of The TR1BuSEs
circulation. In hundreds Of the places
named there are more copies of TIE TRIBUNE
mailed direct to subscribers than our envious
contemporary reports as sold by newsmen.
Thus copies are set down as sent to New
York City, whereas upwards Of so are taken
by merchants and dealers in that city; l
copy is credited to Buffalo, but more than 20

but none is credited on that bogus list.
There arc IS more TR1BUSEs sent to ST. Louis

Whatever may be the Saturday country

true, as rule.

the boys on farm, who generally have most
of the barn work to do, or a large share of 1t,
get slch and tired of being obliged to rouse
up at an early aour in the morning to milk a

A writer in the Kansas Farmer in consid
erlng the question of how to make money
farming, mentions experiments in feeding
stock by men who could not command money
to purchase stock. One feeder took forty
head of three year.old streers the Goth day OF
October to feed for eight cents per pound tor
all the gross weight he could put on till the
Goth OF February. He had great deal OF
soft corn that was not mcrchantable, and
he gave the cattleall they could eat. He fed
them four months, consuming about nifty
bushels of corn to the steer, and putting 27U
pounds weight upon each animal. This made
his corn bring him torty-two cents per bushcl,
and he had hogs following his cattle, which
will still increase his profits.


Another feeder took some steers of the
same man to feed at seven cents per pound
for what he could put on them. OF course
his profits were an eighth less than the other
feeder and his corn netted him about thirty.
SIX cents, while he still had the profits on the
hogs.


These experiments are Of considerable
value, and they answer the objection SO many
farmers have a: hand when the profit of feed
ing stock is mentioned, that it takes money
to handle stock. OF course the open winter
favored the feeders, but if stock Is sheltered,
the same results can be attained any winter.


In this connection 1t may be said that a
farmer, when he decides TO put in crop,
should consider the probabilities as to pro-
fitable disposal of II, or, IN other words, make
up his mind as to what he will do with the
crop when he gets it. A little calculation and
planning before making venture is always
in order.-RurdL NsD Yorker.

From the New York Herald, Republican.


Governor Chamberlain's dispatch to
the Herald contains but little, So far as
the results of the voting last Tuesday are
concerned, and that little strangely
vague. 1t Is more than curious that in
State like South Carolina the Execu-
tive thereof should not be able to furnish
us something more definite. 1t will be
fairly believed by the impartial that the
Democrats who have given the count on
the vote for Governor in every county
are correct. The most striking
point ia his dispatch, however, is
the evident determination to throw
out sufficient votes to give
the Republicans majority. Gov
ernor Chamberlain acts precisely as if
the votes cast were to be but smsll fac
tor in the determination Of the result.
The means taken by the Democrats to
proclaim the actual state of the polls ut
their closing have forced the game of
Governor Cham berlain, and desperate
game it is. He has clearly announced
the startling fact that board composed
in the majority of officers seeking re-elec-
tion to their present posts shall pass upon
the validity of the returns and throw out
districts at will; nay, that enough will
be thrown out 10 settle the result. After
all the parade of troops to "protect
the colored citizens" after all the Repub-
lican jubilation that now every one
could cast his vote in peace, alter an
election without riot or disturbance Of
any kind, we are treated to glimpse
of fabricated charges of "wholesale in
timidstion," sort of sickenIng postmor-
tem and inquest ON the "bloody shirt"
If the troops had not been poured into
the State; if the murders and assaults
and browbeatings of the colored Demo-
Gratis had not been notorious; if the
United States marshals had not had
the whole State in their hands for
weeks before the election, arrest
ing white men right and left, the
country might for all Its suspicion of the
rascals who have ruled in the South until
it is impoverished and almost bankrupt,
have lent an ear to Governor Chamber
lsins ghost stories. They will not be
listened to now. The troops are already


n the State and there is no danger of
any disturbance, but we earnestly entrest
the Republicans who are above winning
by fraud, to join hands with the Demo
Gratis, who only ask an honest count of
an honest vote, to send Representative
men to be present at the canvass by this
suspiciously composed Board.
