' So fnr, country, although in peril of dissolu­ tion at least once, has triumphed oyer the political and national storms of veius the past, and seems to be still but a fou,. yea, vigorous ypnfh, destiued for fin im- — mortal maiiho^ Her principles ^ liberty and viv- , tne, uj »n which"'she started, are sound. Her association of^sts with a central government, sofyj ble, and her constitution well ada ^ to the preservation of her principles Our Republic- is founded upon the virtue, intelligence and industry of the individuals composing the whole commonwealth. As long a? the mor­ als of a nation, as fi whole, are sound, it must endure. Should, however, great wealth, luxury and licentious­ ness prevail to a great extent, so - as to overcome themajority °f the- peo­ ple, then the foundations of tbe this great Republic will be uudermined. Too much luxury must weaken in­ dustry; immorality and licentiousness must weaken" virtue, A craze for material things as above moral and' intellectual wealth must lead to, - na­ tional decay. A devotion to the sen­ sual above the spiritual and educa­ tional, must injure any people. Out common school system is a great safe­ guard to liberty. Above all, the Ghristiar religion, and the religious devotion of our people, is the greatest anchor of hope foi* our country’s ’survival. When religion giyeS way to skepticism, and intelligence to1ig­ norance, and the Sabbath is destroyed then we may well tremble for our Republic. 1 Unlimited immigation of irreligi- ous and ignorant peoples is a great menace to liherty. A thousand mil­ lions of dollars spent yearly for alco­ holics drinks that curse our people, is another great menace. Civic and legislative corruption and bribery is a third serious menace to the perpetuity of free institutions. Under this head also comes the bribery of the voters, undermining the purity of the ballot and the will of the honest citizen. Luxury, infidelity, political corrup­ tion, intemperance and immorality are the ever gnawing worms of de­ struction at work at the toots of the tree of civil and religions liberty, that threaten the ultimate downfall Of our glorious Republic. FEARLESS AND INDEPENDENT. The Chicago Record-Herald is a mspicuous example of lhv success till which the public rewards fearless mpartisanship in tbe caldmns of a real metropolitan daily- paper. I t is j indepent newspaper, itt which men id measures are invariably viewed holly from the standpoint of-the ihlic good and not from that of tbe ferests of any particular political irty. I t is the very reverse of (utral—fearless and outspoken on all leStions of the day* hut presenting 1 editorial opinion upon Independent dgrneot and entirely regardless of ditioaU Affiliation#. Partisanship is irred as strictly from the news col­ ons as from the editorial pabe. All ditto#! news is given without irtfeau coloring, thus enabling the •der to form correct conclusions for raself. In the ordinarily partisan swapaper political news is ordinary* f colored to such an extent as to she it difficult if not impossible for is reader to secure a sound basis for tdlHgent judgment.

Cincinnati; August 20th,—Great Itan, Chief of the Mystic 'Order of Itan-Nic*Nioppas proclaimed the date of September 8th for the annual night pageant of the Nics, Symptoms of Unusual.activity have for some time been tuanuest among those suspected of belonging to the order. Not long since, quiet citizens taking ap even­ ing stroll, were astonished by the un­ expected procession of the Hies, mak­ ing a pilgrimage to the new lodge, cave or den, whichever it is. The streets were suddenly illumined by the blaze of torches and-.columns of red fire, revealing hundreds of curi­ ously .clad, masked figures, marching arm iu arm, dancing, singing and keeping brisk time tq numerous bands of music, which enlivened their pro­ gress, .They vanished as mysteriously as they came and none were adventu­ rous enough to follow'them. By­ standers professed to recognize among the frolicsome crew, staid business men,‘merchants, brokers and more than one political leader. The Fall Festival Association, io a man, is said to be implicated in tbe doings of the Nicks; at least that is what other peoi pie say, for the Nice never say any­ thing in public, anil the identity of each one is maintained ‘n’TprOfound secret. One of the events of the Fall Fqntu’a! is the annual parade of the Mystic Order of Itnn Nicnic, which draws thousands of visitors to Cincin­ nati on that day. Although of com­ paratively recent origin, their ifaght Pageant surpasses anything of the kind given in America. Creat Itan has been graciously pleased to an npunce, that there Will be a series of twenty floats of allegorical design, illu­ minated by 5600 incandescent lights. Tbe subjeot illustrated is one familiar to all, even to the children, whose special delight is this beautiful pa­ geant, for them a realization of Fary- land. Bands of music will accom­ pany each float, which will ■be sur­ rounded by outriders in costume,’and grooms carrying torches. A word to the wise—come early, if you wish to ure good. places, for the fame of- the Itan-Nic-Nic pageant is great in the land and thousands will come to Cincinnati on September. 8th especial ly to see it. romantic marriage . The * marriage of Mij. Houston Cherry and Miea Clara Jackson was quite a surprise to their many friends, A telegram was received last Satur­ day that they were married a t Niag­ ara Falls. The marriage of thiB pop­ ular couple was not only a surprise to their friends but to their parents also. They had gone to this famous resort on an excursion and rather than wait until fall, as it is Stated they were to be married then, they were married shortly after their arrival. Mr, Cherry is the sou of David Cherry, a prominent Greene county farmer while Mrs Cherry is tbe daughter of Andrew Jackson and she has for sev­ eral year# been a teacher in the pub* Ho schools. The couple have ar* ried home and are receiving congrat*. ulations from their many friends. It is stated that the couple will go to housekeeping on a farm belonging to the groom’s father.

T h ic k H a ir CINCINNATI FALL FESTIVAL PLEASE PASSTHE PETITION. t We are informed that a petition is ‘in circulation asking the state auth- j orities to condera the reservoirs ’west ;of town belonging to the Hagar paper !Company, these basins being used to :deposit the wash water from the com- pHuy’s plant, For several years the j-eompany emptied this water into !Massies creek and during the summer | mouths when the water was low it be- jeame very stugment. To do away (with this the paper company haa con­ structed two large reservoirs and. are allowing all’waste Water to empty iu-: to tbe a. There is i# the lower bfiBin a drain which carries the water-way after it has passed; through several feet of filter, composed of straw, and sand; I t seems that,the objection -to these haeins is tlm$ they breed mos­ quitos which are nuisance tOBny town or neighborhood. The- question now arises, where did our mosquitos come from before the basins were construct ed, and are the mofquitos that sing each night to residents of hundreds of cities over the country all* bred on tbe. banks of Maefries. 'creek? We have not seen the petition but we .learn that the £5tate Board of Health will be asked td do fway with these basins in order tbat, |ve will have - no morejmosquitos. Sjlrihgfield has just beeu having a plagup of pleas and i t certainly couldn’t hn|?e been possible for these little fellows to have been reared it^tliese basius'also, Now really which is the worst* a, mosquito'ot a fly? How about a pesky fly during the afternoon nap? Or whats more vexing to a baldheadedman in a Sun­ day'pew than a fly? Will someone please, pass ths petition to ask the Sjate Board of Health to.exterminate the fly and not leave it here to tor­ ment raau or beast. R. F. D. SITUATION. STRUCK A STUMP. The Xenia saloonists have struck a stump again, since their places were raided several weeks ago, They were supposed to be selling soft drinks, that is those which contained no more than two per cent alcbol. The offi­ cers raided the different places and sent the samples to the Dairy and Food Commissioner at Columbus for analysis. The report has been re­ ceived and in every instance it tvas found that there was more than two per cent, some of the samples having nearly six per cent alcohol. Seven saloonists have been arrested, charged with selling and furnishing intoxicat­ ing liquors, their bonds having been fixed at $200 each. With the officers and Committee of One Hundred after the Saloon inen of Xenia it looks as though they Will have rough sledding, Some of them have at present two aud three cases each in the courts. ‘ The Dost Office Department has is- sued orders several places that all rural routes not having 1Q0 boxes must be discontinued within 10 days, Our postmaster has received an in* quliy as to how many boxes" each route now hftB, and he says the next thing will be an order to raise each route to 100 boxes or discontinue. Now there are plenty of. houses on each of our three routes to make out 100 each, and it stands all those who have boxes in hand to see that each house gets a box pr get qne for them if they cannot afford ope. Seyeral farmers say. they would not ’do away with the routs if they had to buy ten boxes, and more than that, several farmers have already purchased boxes for .their poor neighbors -or tenants.' Now all farmers who appreciate rural delivery, help your poor neighbor or if you have no poor -neighbor hand money to rural carrier or postmaster and they will see that someone*gets a box that needs it. .You only do the small end of it anyhow. All Uncle Sara asks of you is to provide a suit­ able‘box to receive your mail find he will deliver it about 311 times per yeay reserving only New Years and 4th of July. Our three routes lack about 94 boxes of making 100 each. No. 1 lacks 26 with 35 extra houses without boxes, No 2 lacks 40 with 42 houses without boxes and- No. 3 lacks 28 with 45 extra bouses.

Harry Owens is in serious danger of becoming a . literary celebrity, with little effort on his part. A few weeks ago he prepared an article for a local publication, describing the predica­ ment of a certain young man, tinder rather embarrassing circumstances. The article-did not appear in print, but ca'me under the observation of a number of Harry’s friends, who ap-, predated it so well, that now when anything really good appears in any of the local papers, its authorship is immediately attributed to Harry.— .

The well man Was only too Anxious to avail himself of every sug­ gestion and said So, The friend then informed him that he had dreamed if the hole was pulled up the tools would come with it, Strain did not under­ take to pull the hole up.
