Decatur Democrat, Volume 26, Number 13, Decatur, Adams County, 30 June 1882 — Page 2

THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT BY A. J. HILI,. Friday, June 30, 1882. Tins is Gitteau'* day. < ♦ ♦— Tid.iik is an unusually large number of candidates asking to be nomi nated by the Democratic State Con vention this year. It indicates faith in the November election—indicates a democratic victory this fall. It would be a good time to hold elections now. Dissatisfied men want a change, and would be very likely to vote for the change, when untrammelled by bosses with a threat of discharge if they do not vote the ticket dictated. The Yorktown celebration required *7,460.70 for the congressional junketers for drinks and cigars. So far it has not been charged that it was furnished for the democratic members. The amount issued is accounted for by republicans, from the fact that the English and French were great drinkers and smokers, and they wished to entertain them in continental style.

The Journal seems to think that the treasurer of Auglaize county, • was not tried and sent to the penitentiary for taking what did not belong to him. If he will send to that county he can get a transcript cf the conviction and a certificate that the sentence was carried out. This would be the evidence in a court, but would not satisfy the Journal. The editor would prefer the evidence of a newspaper paragraph, when that evidence pleased him better. That however was not the main question at issue beta eon us. The Journal asserted that Democrats were doing the stealing of this courtry, and went unpunished. That whenever Republicans steal they were punished. That was the issue between us. The Democrat asserted that the reverse was the fact, and in proof cited numerous instances of stealing, involving millions of dollars, and instead of punishment, only whitewashing investigations followed, except one instance, the wiskey theives, who were pardoneu aimust as swu rioted, and President Arthur, who was rewarded by electing him to the second highest office within the gift of the people. The Journal is right in not taking issue upon these questions. It is better to plead guilty to an indictment by silence, rather than attempt an impotent defence.

o\t: would be inclined to think, after reading an article in hist week’s limnoral, that mothers desiring to attend public meetings and having small children, should first consult- the editor of the article as to tie propriety of remaining at l.ome or taking their children with th* nt. Men so easily disturbed need be consulted.— Dvratur Journal. The wonderful paragraph quoted above is taken from the Journal of last week, and is in keeping and on a parallel with other words of wisdom issuing from the same source. In fact the Journal is full of surprises. The Democrat is acquainted with those of its patrons and ot its political house hold who exercises a censorship over its columns and never permit it to enter their household until it has been examined for the purpose of ascertain ingjwhether or not it contains sentiments and expressions, the wit and wisdom of the editor, unfit to be read in private families. And there have been several occasions where it has been suppresed for these reasons. In view of these facts the paragraph quoted should not surprise any person. It disposes of a question, the merits of which it did not dare to discuss, by a personal thrust. Endow a hog with reasoning poweis and the faculty of communicating ideas and you will have reasoning from a hog’s stand point. You will not be surprised,because you do not expect anything better, bu. when they come from one with the semblance of humanity they are a continual surprise. The skunk waves his tail in majesty, and if you meet him on the prairie and wish to avoid his perfume you must give him the light of way and pass by o;i the other side. The skunk is a polite gentleman and the editor of the Journal must, reasoning from a hog's standpoint, have learned his politeness from the skunk. Our readers will pardon these coarse illustrations. They would be unnecessary to enable them to compri hend the lesson intend ed to le conveyed, but without them it would be lost as to the Journal. The lesthetieal, intellectual hog would laydown the law about in this way: If you do not wish to be annoyed stay away from public assemblies of public worship, etc. They are intellectual entertainments gotten up expressly for the exhilition of babies, for their enjoyment and for their tired mammas. They have no other source of recreation that affords the same satisfaction. If you do not betray your ig noranee and lack of civility and pt - liteness, do not protest privately nr allow The Demorrat to publicly protest. 11 it does, make it a personal matter; that will suppress it and leave the babies to work their sweet will and enjoy themselves as all babies •light. W omen who bear children arc priveleged above ali others and the more children the greater the privileges. They must go to these places, babies and all. though bedlam be turned loose and pandemonium raised. And if people do . not quit protesting, mothers s’nould stop at toy shops and arm their children with fife and drain. It would add so much to their enjoyment. No one would protest but ignorant, ill m. tured people and the editor of The Democrat.

The Journal did not say this, put it just in this way, but this is the suppositious case, carried to its extr. mu conclusion. The Democrat is compelled to put the case in this way, for itself taking the opposite side, that the two positions maybe properly contrasted. There may be such a thing as rudeness and an innate disregard of the rights and feelings of others, which, under such an interpretation would leave the aggressor the aggrieved victim. There may be, and probably is, such a thing as true js'litcness, which springs from

—« -mm——■■ ——— an innate regard for the rights and ; feelings of others. It is the perfume | of flowers: it makes beauty lovely; it is the essence of the golden rule, •do unto others as you would they should do unto you. It is one ot the | brightest of the Christian graces, which , all should practice and none ignore, a disregard of which lends to results such as The Democrat exposedin aj former number in a manner as unobjectionable as possible. Disclaiming all personal allusion, believing what The Democrat did say in a previous number right, the question is dismissed and placed before the public for them to render their verdict according to the ‘daw and evidence. Whether The Democrat is right or wrong the verdict will be right. There the question is left. It is not the first time The Democrat has been called upon to express its convictions, where to do so, might give pain or cau »e people to take offense. It is an unpleasant position, one that if ignored, would, for the same reason, be a bar to the discussion of any quest on. It is therefore met in a spirit, and with a ■ view of teaching a lesson of unselfish- : ness, and true politeness and recipro- ; cal accord that should obtain, and is necessary to make others happy in our intercourse with each other.
