To our MIND the editorials of the Ft. Wayne Sentinel on the finance question are among the very ablest and most logical {that have yet appeared in public print. We shall take pleasure inreproducing some of them from time to time, as space permits. ! y

I AECOMPTE AND STRINGFELLOW, of “Border Ruflian™ notoriety, are both - members in high standing of the republican party in Kansas. It must {1 Dbe extrenjely pleasant to the “freedom- ~ shriekers” of *56 who ‘still adhere to “7 jhe .republican organization to find themselves in such company.

No ONE knows better than pole-cat Myers that he lies like a thicf when he says that the BANNER was-estab-lihed by eontributions or donations.—— Every dollar advanced in 1866 was applied on sul>sm'ipiion. As for James McConnell, we ean truthfully. aver that for every favor extended us he received over fifty in return. :

Tie BANNER being emphatically a people’s paper, we freely admit into our columns the views of those who are desirous of being heard through the public press, whether their opinions coincide with ours or not. We believe in free speech and a f ree press, and while we have control of press and type, the people shall have an opportunity to be heard. 7

CONGRESSMAN PACKARD has established 'a new semi-weekly paper at! LaPorte, bearing the title of Chronicle, and printed in the highest style of the art. The contents of the new paper indicate a purpose to deal fairly in the discussion of public affairs and to cultivate loftier sentiments in the political world. In this laudable purpose the General has pur hearty fsympathy.

AN “OLD DEMOCRAT” complains through the columns of the Ft. Wayne Sentingl that a professed Democrat of that city, who has been honored b) the party with various positions of trust and honor, lends himself to making underhanded attacks ' upon Mr, ITamilton, the democratic nominee for Congress; From the description given oft the gentleman who is charged with this nasty kind of work, it.is not dificult to guess who is meant. We take it that somebody has been watching Alf. P. Edgerton. )

Tue oNLY TIME at which the subject of publishing a republican paper in this county was discussed with us, was in the year 1868, when a delegation of the most influential Republicans of Kendallville and Albion offered to buy and géiee us the Standard office, “as a means of getting rid of that pestiferous nuisance Myers and of securing an editor of whom they: nzﬁ@d not be ashamed.” If pecuniary considerations could ever have induced us to accept a proposition of this kind, pole-cat Myers would have been kicked ‘out of the county long ago. | Wirn shameléss effrontery, the vile ereature of the Kendallville Standard asserts tlmt‘\ve.lmdbfor years pursued him' with personal assaults, intimating that such “persecution” was wholly without provoeation. Every obseryant citizen of the county knows this statement to be a genuine pole-cat lie, and that since 1866 he llzw'séal*celyt issued a half dozen numbers of his filthy sheet without in some way defaming the editor of the BANNER, What we have said of him from time to timein self-defence, is susceptible of unquestionable proof. That he is the vilest and most infameus liar that ever disgraced the editorial profession, is attested by his neighbors and the unanifmous verdict of the press. That he is a notorious swindler, can be proved by his ' own paper when he deliberately defrauded eastern advertising agents of .the space for which he re ceived pay from them, That he committed a *crime after the fashion of counterfeiters, was pretty clearly established when he was publicly cowhided by Mr. Wéir of Lagrange. _That he is an out-cast, literally driven from his former place of residence in Lagrange county on account of his in§ sufferable meanness and innumerable ‘rascalities, is aftested over the signatures of the best and most influential citizens of that county. That he is politically a thief and a scoundrel, we ~need only refer to his action in 1870, when he “skinned” Gen. Hascall out ~of $5O and then turned around and supported Billy Williams in consideration of $6OO “smouched” from Ede Fisher, Col. Williams and others.— - That he is a perjured villain, and a most perfidious skunk in the bargain, his career as postmaster furnishes - abundant proof. We might prolong this catalogus, but the above may suffice for a partial sketeh pf his pedi-

: THAT FALLACY. e If it were possible for any party in power to enforce by legislation the financial policy- enunciated by Mr. Voorhees through the 15th of July convention, the effect would be to add to' the present veolume of greenback currency nearly or quite eight hundred millions of dollars, first by the payment of the five-twenty bonds and next by the substitution of greenbacksfor national bank notes. i

Now, let us inquire, what is this with which it is proposed to redeem, the interest bearing bonds of the country? A demand note payable on presentation at the treasury, which the treasury refuses to pay. The proposition then simply reduces itself to this, that the government shall attempt arbitrarily to pay a note bearing interest at six per cent., redeemable at a future day, withra note bearing no interest and not redeemable at_ all. 2 [

It has been well said that if there ivas any virtue in this theory at the time it was urged upon the country by Mr. I’endleton, when it was cla.ime(l the govern_m‘e‘lit had an option of paying the five-twenty bonds in greenbacks, the act of 1869 and the funding act since have pledged the country by the most solemn ~sanction to the eontrary course. We might as well go back at this late day to inquire into the merits of contracts for beef, transportation, .clothing, medicine and hospital stores for the army which were paid for but never regeived. The bonds and the notes given to swindling contractors have passed } out of their hands and entered as investments into the hands of innocent holders throughout the eivilized: world. Fo take up these evidences of 'in(l(‘b.tod-’ ness with ether evidences of indebtedness of inferior value, would be.a simple swindle to the amount of the difference. A

; ONE CONSOLATION. . While -the financial plank in the Democratic State platform is almost unanimously disapproved and condemned by the democratic press of other States, it is consoling to know that three lines may be found in that particular portiom which affords -an opportunity for a tolerably fair defenge. Being in aposition that makes i_oﬁo wond’rously thankful for small favors, we eagerly transfer to o columns the follox\'ing extract from an eastern exchange: - . The Indiana Democrats, however, after placing themselves in opposition: to the announced doctrine of the Democracy in every State which has held a convention this year, and approved a financial platform: which would at a single stroke cheapen the money of the country by an unpreced:‘bnted inflation, have the grace to say that they “are in favor of a return to specie payment as soon as the business interests of the country will permit.” Ilere was agleam of sense and a proof that the old leaven of Democracy has not entirely failed of its of:‘}ce. As this part of the platform is jhst as binding as any other, sound in doctrine, practicable in fact, and not consistent with any hint at repudiation, we select it out from the rest to stand upon. It isin direct opposition to the pernicious doctrines. of Morton and the platform of the Indiana Republicans who appear to have abandaned with their leader “the old world Superstition. which makes gold the measure of value,” and who believe in illimitable issues .of paper as long as there is any demand for it. lad this single, hard-money plank been coupled with a tesolve in favor of ‘a repeal of the legal-tender act as affecting all future contracts it would have left nothing more to be desired. . A perusal and study of the above ma~kes.us -feel much easier than has been our lot since the 15th. The fouyrth “resolve” is the star of our hope. “We say “hurrah for the fourth!” and spanked be Dan Voorhees for putting in the other. .

el < Bi—— . HOW ABOUT THE OTHER SIDE? - “An observant Republican, who has liad occasion to spend some time recently in several counties of the Third Congressional, District, and who studied the political situation closely,” informs the Indianapolis Journal “that the outlook there is decidedly cheering for the Republican party.”. The Journal boastingly avers that - “In every county visited by our informant, he found more or less Democrats who were disgusted with: the position of the party on the temperance question, and openly expressed their intention to vote the Republican ticket. - The Democracy may yet find that in their extreme anxiety to make favor with the saloon-keepers they have lost in other'directions.” ‘We are somewhat inclined to Delieve that if this “observant Republican” had revealed the whole truth, he would have added to the above that very many Republicans inh that I'(;gion will quietly go to the polls and vote the democratic ticket; and that every vote lost to the Democracy will be more than made up by disaffected Republicans. A

N. 11. WENGER, of Van Wert, Ohio, writes us that a terrible storm visited that city on the 24th inst., which yesulted in the destruction of three buildings and dangerous, if not fatal, injuries to a young lady. The particulars are about as follows: One side of the third story of a brick building, which had just been put up, was blown over onto a new meat shop, crushing it to the ground and breaking roof, floor and everything to pieces.” The falling debris pushed the ouQside wall of the meat shop over onto a small frame building, used by Mr. Wilkinson as a restaurant, and totally demolishing it. A young iady, sister to Mrs. Wilkinson, who was sleeping in the upper story of the latter building, was struck by some of the falling bricks and nearly killed. = The bones of her face were 80 badly broken that a portion of them have been removed and it is thought doubtful whether she can recover. Several persons were in the meat shop at the time hut escaped uninjured. o By i

AT the next meeting of the editorial associatioq we propose to move the expulsion of Polecat Myers. He will then be afforded an opportunity to show who in this county hag heen guilty of “ratting.” st |

ALL OVER THE STAT™

Personal and Political I':xragraplm.‘ Hon. James D. Williams has ‘been triumphantly, nominated for Congress by the Democrats of the Second Distriet. His com"'pet';g; was Hon. Thomas R. Cobb. The fight for the nomination engendered considerable ill-feel-ing, but everything is lovely now.— Williams is a Granger and will be elected by a rousing majority. - The Republicans of the Fifth District bave nominated Hon. B. F. Claypool for Comngress; and the Republicans of the Eighth District have renominated Gen. Morton C. Hunter. ~We are pleased to learn that the Demoecratic State Central Committee has elected Col. A. P. Whittlesey secretary. The Col. is a hard worker.,

lon. Michael C. Kerr is already actively engaged in the canvass of his District. Gen. James R. Cravens is an independent candidate against Kerr, but we don’t believe he stands a ghost of a chance of being elected. ‘ According to .Joe MeDonald, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, the greenback platform is satisfactory to the entire Demoecracy. That’s just wherein Joe is mightily mistaken, @ | : ’

ﬁ(l‘.ov. Hendricks and a number of other prominent Demoerats have been selected as speakers for the campaign. - The Logansport Star prophecies that Senator Pratt will be returned next Winter, as “the State cannot afford to lose lnls.,’ser\'icos.” If the St:;lm cannot afford to stand such a loss, it deseryes to he pitied. v John O. Ilardesty has sold lis interest in the Indianapolis Swun to Messrs. Olleman and Buchanan, real estate agents and rampant inflationists. The Swumn is heénceforth to espouse the cause of the Independent (“Farmerst) party. . % It. was Congressman ITolman who caused that anti-superintendent clause to be inserted in the-democratic platform. As the Judge seldom makes shch blunders, we feel inclined to forgive him. . |

. All the democratie papers along the Lake Shore road disapprove the financial part of the democratic platform.

‘Our thanks are due the editors of the LaPorte Herald and the Lagrange Standard for their magnanimous,courteous and friendly-references to that little “episode” (July 15) which admonished us that it is far befter for an editor to attend ‘to /his business than to pursue the deceptive phantom of political preferment. A People’s convention. will be held at Goshen on the 15th of August to nominate a county ticket. No regular demoeratic ticket will be placed in the fleld in old Elkhart. o : Samuel R. Miller is recommended as the People’s candidate for Sheriff of Elkhart county. A better selection could not be made by scouring the whole county. : ' Secretary of State Curry is hard at work on the rostrum,trying to convince the people that the republican party' should be continued in power. He will find that sort of argument less convineing than in years gone by. e —— OW—- : Columbia City Items.

| ANOTHER DELUGE ! 7 3 ,A % g :" ' Pittsburgh and Vieinity Visited by & l . Fearful Flood. ! Many Houses Swept Ada,y and I'mmensge i| . Damage to Property Entailed, Great Loss of Life Reported—Owver One I Hundred Bodies Recovered. Over 200 Lives Supposed to Hove Been d Lost. - : ; Prrrssuren, July 27.—the Etorin which swept pver the city last night - was the most severe and destructive to life and property that has ever occurred in this vicinity. The rain came down in a perfect deluge, the water coming down the street leading from the hill, with fearful velocity, the current being swelled also by water from side streets. The Union Depot was inundated ‘with water three or four feet in depth. The water in the Pan Handle Railroad tunnel was four feet deep, rendering it impassible for trains. 5 2 :

Considerable damage was done to property on Smithfield and Liberty streets. From all the side streets leading from the hill, boulders were rooted from their position and hurled to the level below, while in many places great holes were opened np in the streets.” Some of the cross streets are rendered almost impassible;, and -will require large expenditures to, repair them. These are Henry, Brady and Tustin streets in the Fourteenth ward. Van Buren, Milténberger, Marion, Pride and Stevenson streets in the Sixth ward are also terribly cut up. Where the iew sewer on Forbes street was recently covered, great ditches are opened. : In Allegheny City the flood was terrible; A sewer. on Madison avenue ahd Vista street burst, inundating the whole upper part of the city. A number of houses were swept away on Spring @Garden street, the water atlilll'lf—\lg @ depth of tén feet, causing a large loss ofilife in this vicinity. The Pittsburgh klcod. | Pittsburgh is situated at the conflul ence of the Monongahela and Alle-. gheny Rivers, with steep hills all about it. Allegheny City is on the opposite shore of the Alleglieny River, to the northwest of the eity. The Lillsides are intersected at irregular intervals with runs or gulehes, which form natural (p}mnnels for any large awaterfall frofn aboyve. The heavy rains of Sunday night filled the gulches, and the water swept down the hills with resistless impetuosity, carrying death and desolation in its course. The area over which this flood is said to have, extended is described at from 20 to 25 miles in diameter, and astonishment is expressed that thie torrents did not sweep down over' the entire city. As it was, the damage done awas confined mainly to the less attractive suburbs of Pittsburgh and Allegheny ~City, including Témperanceville and one or two other neighboring boroughs. The devastated district was filled up with slaughter houses, small manufacturing'establishments, and the homes of the “working classes. The value of the property destroyed is not, therefore, so great as if the flood had reached other and richer sections of ithe city. But this is insignificant as compared to the loss of life. More than 100 bodies have already been recovered; it is known that nearly 150 lives have been lost; and it is-believed with good reason that 200 men, women and children have perished. / Verily, this is an age of flood, fire and fury. The Pittsburgh horror is one of a class over which we can only mourn. It seems to belong to the category of catastrophes which are called unavoidable. When such a storm comes suddenly upon a city, as did this, and Nature provides the channels for a free passage on its way of destruction, there is nothing to be said that will attone for the sufferings it brought with it, not even in the way of. pointing out protection in the future. The flood carried everything before it. Its force was as great, sudden, and impetuous, as that of the Mill River Reservoir when it broke away from its barriers. There was no running away from it. It washed away iron bridges, picked up houses and set them down in new places, tore up stogles in the street to assist in the work of destruction, and even overturned stone walls which vainly endeavored to impede its angry progress. Strong men were helpless as children, and women died from. fright. TPeople who had gone to cburch réturned to find their homes swept away, and might; have gone back to church to thank God they had left those homes in time to save their lives. ; do e

The KFires in the 'Mi'chigau Pinérii-s. (From the Bay City Tribune, July 22.) :

The continued dry weather of the past few weeks has left the woods to the north of us about like a tender box. .Whilerthis state of affairs has not effected us here in the city, great damage “has been done in the woods, and great alarm prevails. The fires are raging throughout the entire section, and unléss rain falls soon there is no telling what disasters may occur. A special dispatch from Aleona to the Tribune, dated 3 o’elock this afternoon, conveys the information that in that vicinity fires are raging furiously, destroying timber, fences and crops. One house and one lumber camp were burned. ' At thelatter place, ten sheds were destroyed. laynes &Beardlost some- 500,000 to 600,000 feet of skidded logs. Probably 200 men aré out fighting the flames, but they seem unable to rceomplish mueh, so dry is everything. In the vicinity of Standish a house or two was burned. Greatdamgge has been done to standing timber, and already the losses foot up hundreds of thousands of dollars.

A SAp AccipENT.—A fatal runaway' occured on Friday evening last, and from the attending physician, Dr. Crum, we have learned the following particulars: Mrs. Jacob Kauffman, of | near Sycamore Corners, in the Hawpateli, had been to town marketing, aceompanied by a Mrs. Burton, her two daughters and a young boy, who was driving. . While returning home, and when about two miles north of town, the team became frightened, and commenced running; all got out of the wagon before the horses got under full headway excepting Mrs. Kauffman.— She was a large, portly lady, and, being unable to jump from the wagon, remained on the back seat. When the horses were under full headway, she arose, facing the back of the wagon, and was thrown out, striking on the top of her head, She wasimmediately picked up and carried into a neighboring house (Mr. J. M. Best’s) for dead. The Doctor was summoned, and pronounced her seriously if not fatally injured. She died the same night, remaining unconscious to thelast. The deceased was much beloved by all who knew her, and leaves a kind husband and four small children to mourn ‘her sudden and untimely demise.— Truly there is but one step between life and death. The horses ran a short distance further when they brought ‘up in a fenee corner without any otg‘er -damage, £ SN

The following appears in the Indiana columns of the Louisville Commercial: “A disgraceful affair occurred at Salem, Washington county, Monday night, it being the destruction of the printing office and material of the Salem Free Press, published by James H. Taggart. The fPre.s-s is ‘a weekly paper of the independent stripe, and, as its name indicated, was opposed to rings "in general, and especially the Court-house ring of that county.— Eight weeks ago the Press commenced publication, and, so far as we are able to learn, was conducted in a dignified manner by its proprietor. It severely criticized ' the rings of Washington county, and fhere are not a few about Salem who believe that the mob was’ instigated by -the friends of the ring ticket. It is said that the mob were in disguise and did their work quietly, completely gutting the concern and scattering the type broadeast.” , On Friday evening a storm passed over Fort Wayne of terrific danger.— Not less than three buildings were struck by lightning. One was the dwelling of Mr, McKay on west Main street. The Gazette thus describes thefearful freaks of the bolt; - The lightning struck the main flne ot the building and shivered it in twain down to the second floor. The ﬁgid then left the chimney, passed out through a stove pipe hole over a gas jet, and passed across the room striking the south wall. It did not stop here, but forced an outward passage, tearing off two feet square of plastering, lathes and weather boarding. In its course it shivered to atoms a looking glass, and set the curtains on fire. When the lightning emerged from the chimney, it apparently divided, and one -stream passed out of an open door in a"straight line across the hall, and tore a hole through the west wall of ‘the building. The gilt paper in the front room was blackened and the apartment filled with smoke, pieces of lathes and plastering. The roof was damaged cousiderably around the ehimney which is a total wreck. No person in the house was injured, as the inmates were all in the rear of the -ggiﬁ!ding when the bolt struck the 80, i : en 4

~.The Mayor of Philadelphia has issued a proclamation offering a reward of - $20,000 for the arrest and conviction of the kidnappers of a little boy, Charley Ross. His father continues to receive letters from the abductors proposing to negotiate for the child’s return, but the detectives have not succeeded in obtaining the slightest clue to their whereabouts. The fact that a second case of childstealing has occurred in Philadelphia gives some color of probability to the statement that there is a regularly organized league of villains, whose purpose it is to introduce this new branch of crime.in the Eastern cities. ;Whether this is so ornot, if the scoundrels succeed in these cases in extorting the ransom demanded and in escaping punishment, there will probably be numerous repetitions of the crime. . e :

When the little dears come on Sun- ’ day morning with clean, happy faces, thén the way is paved, then your first mission is accomplished. If possible l seat your infant class in a remote corner of the church where you can talk Joud and earnestly to them without fear of moles’tix_)g&' other classes. Write down all their little pet names in your daybook; have each one respond to the roll call every Sabbath morning; call them little soldiers in the arnl’y ~of the Lord; tell them that you need their help to battle against sin in all its ugly forms, such as lying, stealing and intemperance, thus' prompting them to be brave soldiers and how their open eyes and hearts will swell love to thee. - Win your class by love, rock them in the cradle of love, take them in the arms of love, train them to come in a circle about youy for verily as the walls are round about Jerusalem, so are the hearts of children around a good teacher. T was said that order is heaven’s first law, and it applies well to an infant class. Experience has taught me that the best means to secure attention to the lesson is to have your class answer questions in concert, all speaking in unission. Learn your class to recite after you the ten commandments in verse, and the easy catechism —never forgetting the golden rule—and when all are seated then hear from their lips the sacred beattitudes slowly repeated. Story telling is another effectual mode. of teaching an infant class, telt them “about the building of Solomon’s Temple; for an illustrationtell them when the temple was almost finished the workmen came to very curious stone, different in shape from all the rest, and they could see no place for it, and wondered where it could belong, and at last concluded it was a mistake of the master workmen, so they rejected it. Well, what was the result? When they came to finish up they found they lacked just one stone to fit the place so they thought the rejected "stone must be the one. So they looked for it, and to their great joy they found it and that stone became the head of the corner. Té¢ll the little boys the story of Moses; how he was hidden by hisgood mother among the rushes in the river Nile for fear of the wicked King. Tell the little girls the story of Mary and Mary who lived with their brqgther Lazerus at Bethany and how Jesus often visited this happy family in his long journeys. When the story is ended, bid them fold their hands and repeat with you the Lord’s prayer in concert. - Do not keep your class sitting more than ten minutes without change or exercise. . They are a ner- ‘ vous liftle set, and their nerves need to be accommodated or your pains will all be lost. - If'you are fearful of losing an impression go back a few questions, always having a store to draw from. Lastly, ¢arry your class to the throne of grace. Without me, says Christ, ye can donothing. Do not expect that by asking God to make you a wise teacher He will fill your mind with wisdom without you make an effort yourself. Prepare yourself fully for your task. A teacher once asked a little boy if his mother ever prayed. He hung down his head and said, “no.” That night he asked! his mother to pray. She told him she did not know: how to pray. He seemed sad and knealing down by his bed, he said, “Please God, I will be so much obliged to'you if you will learn my ma to pray.” Oh, how simple, and yet so noble! The angels indeed look with admiration upon a scene like this.— Now, co-workers in the Sabbath School, whether male or female, be earnest, be prompt, be content to sow little seeds and be patient to wait a long time for them to grow; be true to your mission. Oh, if one little seed sown in. faith, would grow a large mustard tree so that ten thousand children arrayed in white would sing under the branches thereof, it would be a heaven indeed and the scene would be like apples of gold in pictares of silver. The past year has revealed to us new light-—days in which memory will linger with delight. New rifts in the clouds arise and we look first at the work to be done then up to God. ' Dear teachers, our places will soon be vacant, and on whom will our mantle fall? Heaven grant that we be not weary in well doing. =~
