The Western Horseman's Christmas Number.

The Western Horseman in its Christmas number surpassed all efforts of previous years. It is truly a magnificent production both in its contents and the mechanical work. The cover design is a beautiful one in colors with two jolly children driving a spanking team to a cutter. Many of the great horses of the country are written up and their pictures given. The pictures of a large number of drivers who have given horses records of 2:20 or below were given. Among them were Tom Steward and Jim Hazleton both of whom have had their headquarters here. The pictures of William H. Pauley and Henry Fry of this city and Porter Copeland of Warrington should have been in that galaxy of star drivers. Messrs. McMahan & Stuckey are making a great success of the Horseman. The REPUBLICAN wishes them continued prosperity.

They reported a fine time at the entertainment, but the fact has leaked out that they attended the exercises given by a German church, and stayed till the close without understanda word that was said. The young people of the city are having a good laugh at the expense of the trio.

A Good Letter From Tennessee. FRANKLIN, TENN., Dec. 28, 1894. GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN—Please find

enclosed $1.00 for paper, please send to Franklin, Tenn., box 73. We have bought a nice farm two miles from Franklin and have moved to it.

We all have good health and are well satisfied, this surely is a fine climate, today is the first cold we have had, pastures have been green and stock has required no feed up to today. Glad to hear of the great Republican victory everywhere. Tennessee has joined the procession. The "Solid South" is "all broken up." If you are ever in this part of the country come and see us. Give my regards to all my friends, especially the REPUBLICAN.

Ever yours respt., JOHN H. MYERS.

Are Our Moral Standards Shifting

One of the evidences of a moral shifting is that so many people suppose that private and public affairs have two standards: that it is wrong to use an employer's time for private gain, but right for a public officer to draw his salary and then leave the regular duties to a deputy that it is wrong to secure a privilege for one's self by bribing a city council, but right to subscribe money to a campaign fund to buy votes for a party's advantage or that a distinction may be made between the privg^e and public character of public men. J-inericans seem rather more prone than formerly to consort with Thomas, Richard and Henry, if thereby they get aid or amusement. The leading idea of a book which is said recently to have sold a hundred thousand copies in the United States seems to be that, if you can contribute to the entertainment of people, they are to receive you and make you a friend, no matter what your character. The scoundrel Svengali is courted by three respectable Englishmen, and allowed to acquire a fatal influence over their protegee, because he can play a folding flageolet. Think of the Svengalis in American politics, perfectly well known to be consorts and partners of thieves and unjust persons, and yet accepted in political and even personal fellowship by honest men!—Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart in January Forum.

The Lexow investigation and the work of the Civic Federation in Chicago and municipal purifiers elsewhere is opening the eyes of the people to the enormous number of crimes committed by municipal officials. People have been too easy but they have awakened and there is a day of reckoning at hand for public officials who have proven themselves to be corrupt in office and spoilsmen. They are going to catch it from United States Senators down. People should have the same standards for public officials as they have for private men with whom they do business. When a bad man gets on your ticket spot him.
