Oni: condition that cannot be turned aside, and which does receive the condemnation of every honest citizen, is the one this great country is in to day regarding its hnances. How humiliating it must be, to recognize the wave of the hand of our monied aristocracy. ut it will Leever thus as long as we continue at the single standard. Tin; health commissioners of Chicago have roistered a vigorous kick agimst tlie telephone company oi' that city. The trouble has originated over an order, that when i;sog the line tlie render of a inessage shall place his lips close to the transmitter. The health officers are sure microbes will be transmitted to the phone and dire will be the results. Tnr.KE is a great hubbub in Wall street over the gold situation. Toe United States have risen to the needs of eery emergency to date, and it is not now unreasonable to expect the early advent of a gre'at silver tongued orator who will quell the disturbance on the surface of national linancial affairs ami set the minds of the fearful at rest. Sii.vkk is r. antagonistic to gold, bhe simply tl .es recognition in the national este ; on an equality with gold and as the peer of gold that the two, standing :ite more together before the American people in happy reunion, may promise the restoration of a solid linancial system which can ue built only on the firm foundation of the double standarel. Tiikki: are people in this world who are not stupiel but malicious, who take pleasure in wounding the feelings of others, or in gratifying themselves at the expense of others. The real basis of good manners is a kind and sym pathizing heart, llespect, consideration, line feeling have everything to do with oiling the wheels of this world. Lati: reports give hope for the inde pendence of Cuba. A president has been elected, Spaniards are deserting the ranks of the Spanish army and the fighters for freedom are winning vie tory after victory. The nations of the world may not be surprised at any time to learn that Spain is defeated and that a new republic has actually beeu born on au island of the sea.

On: neighbor of the Monticello Democrat, got up a iirst class roast to order, against what he calls "quasi democratic papers with poimlistic ideas," telling them it is about time they fell into line. It begins to appear that newspaper men are not sticking close 10 the party text. This is right. A little more airing of the actual necessities of this country, and less party, is what we need. Kvi:i;v successive day exemplifies and enforces the wisdom and necessity of keeping partisan politics out of the ci!y t Hi mess. II me.-.t, economical management of the public interests is the important and essential thing. The city property Lei. nig:: to the people. The Javr and ordinances are for the protection and good of the people and not lor the interests of political hacks of any part v.

There is no partisanship or politics in -Old (ilory."' It is simply the inspiration to a love of country. It is the emblem of our country, and there is no land in the universe equal to it, and love of our country i love for (Joel. Tin: true way to bring prosperity to a:iy part of the country is make a home market, as far as possible for h. -nie p.oducts. Tlie establishment of manu factories in any locality is a sure road to wealth to producers all around. Anything that tends t do away with the necessity of transporting the grain, the beef, pork and other products of the farm, and still leaves not only other industrial pursuits untouched, both aids them by bringing the producer and consumer together, and is equal to enlarged facilities and cheaper products to both. Al'l'KNlHcms has got to be so formidable a disease, and the cause of it so j often attributed to grape seeds or other foreign bodies, that many have feared to eat these wholesome fruits.

WiULi: some of our exchanges are talking about old newspapers and old newspaper men, and the troubles that so thickly bestrew their pathway, before complaining any move they should study up the history of the illustrious Chinamen. The oldest paper in the world is published in that country, being in existence over years. One of the pleasant features connecteil with newspaper work in that enlightened country is, that when anything appears in the sheet that s obnoxious to the government, olf etomes the eelitor's head. Up to date nineteen have made thenexits from this world b) this route. If history shall repeat itself ami the present high state of civilization shall suffer a decadence and lapse back to the conditions which characterized the time of the dark ages it will be due to the deadlv microbe. The microbe has intruded his presumptuous self into the most sacred precmcls of private life. He is found in ilesh and fish and he clings to every vegetable that grows. He has checked the time honored and delightful practice of osculation and has given many a set-back to schemes of public beneficence. The latest discovered abiding place for the microbe is the telephone transmitter where he is said to lurk with a purpose so malicious and an influence on the public health so potent ani dire that the users of telephones and magnates of telephone monopolies may well tremble at the prospect. lie who will exterminate the microbe will indeed be a great benefactor to mankind. South Chicago has declared herself in sympathy with the struggling Cubans who are fighting to throw olf the yoke of Spain. This is in accord with the sentiment of American patriots who stand on the broad platform of indepenilence, assert that all men should be held free and equal before the law and that each man should have the rights of franchise anuavoice by ballot in the government of his own nation. Spain has mercilessly taxed her Cuban subjects in order that her own coffers might be filled to meet the lavish expenditure of Spanish government and has failed to return an equivelent. Like the colonists of America the patriots of Cuba have declared against oppression and for independance. As America fought against England, so

Cuba is lighting against pain and the sympathy of every true American should be with the patriots of the Cuban revolution.

The latter half of the nineteenth century has been an age of development and evolution, and the last decade has particularly marked transitory conditions in the sphere of women. A great change is taking place in the feminine world, and civilized nations may as well awake to the fact and acknowledge it. Satire and derision, levity and sarcastic humor seem rather to accelerate the changes that are taking place than to retard them. Society is confronted with new cognitions and new problems have already presented thenv-eives which will puzzle the most learned of the wise to solve. Women are going to wear a new apparel. Women have already attended theatresin bloom er costume. A great wave of refoim is passing over I ho intelligent and c:i - hghtened women of tins ageand a cata-1 . , cljsin threatens tint will engulf all present conservative ideas ol propriety anil give to posterity modes and cus tohis that have never been il reamed of in the philosophy of our contempor - aries. - - ' IJi si.v is most carefully planning for commercial ami military supremacy m tlie far east and she is forming re-! Jations with China most admirably calculated for the development of thoe plans. llngland looks uion these things with no small degree of dissatisfaction and no doubt would pay libeially for someth.ng in the form of a counter-irritant. Wm hi: the Cubans ars struggling for liberty in Cuba the Irish patriots of America are fondly working to achieve the independence of Ireland, with the better average education by which the w rld is blessed and the higher intelligence by which men an now pi impted added to the incentive by wh::h the Irish people are driven to seek mnv and j better conditions of national life.au Irish republic may yet, and in the not distant future, lloat its banners to the breezes of t tie old world. H-Mi'Lovi of the Wabash railway system are now considering the advisability of enforcing tlie re ins.atement of certain elischarged employes w ho are members of various railway men's unions uniler threat of a general strike.

The cause i of serious differences between the employers ivid employes are too deep rooted to be moddie'd bv strikes or I at least by strikes of the character witu ; which this country is most familia". The people who are constantly before the public with grievances are of the masses of people who hold the b.dane'c of power in all forms of elemocratic government and to change the whole order of social, political and economic conditions th?y have but to use their intelligence and the ballot. 31 a;!!;'.

OUJi CITY SCHOOLS. AGAIN ON A WORKING BASIS.

Ilinv Tart'iit ( im .M 1 1 Ttacln-i in Their Task. St-ln ,hi is Well 1 ;M ti ijWith the N school is now in lull blast again and with an enrollment of scholars of which all of us are proud. There is no place on earth where more pride is taken j 111 tlie schools of a city or in the work accomplished thereby than right here in Plymouth. Jhit we must not forget that the superintendent and teachers have a large undertaking mi their hands, and that eaeh parent and citizen can aid them nuterially in the work, and that when we have paid our taxes for school und library purpose; our j Work is not vet done, but that by inI idling into the children's minds a love f,,r tlH'ir studies, and teaching them ! nlxdi-n and respect for the teachers 1 r?! UL'f of assisla" " - VV ' n , I it is wuh pleasure we note the lap'e j enrollment of scho-rs this year and the , .Jendid manner in which all seem to have been equipped with books, etc., j which are necessities. 2s ex t to these a 1 prompt and regular attendance is j necessary to insure good results. Many J childien fail to do the work required ! fr no ot.ier cause than absence. If it 1S necessary for your child to be absen ur a len' "tes late, try and send word tu t,,e tachtr m advance, and do "ol nS tIlü hir t tni !l. ......... I. Tll .i It m home should he find himself tardy, and so lose the whole half day s session. It j is better to be tardy than absent, but lar better to be neither absent nor tardy. The 1nii:im:nii:nt will take pleasure in printing i. list of all such pupils and we hope the boys and girls will labor to make the list a large one. A newspaper should bean educator and one way lo be an educa'.or is to encourage education, fins we propose to do in every way possible. Hoys and girls oiten have grievances, parents have grievances, yvs, and teach ers sometimes have grievances K. How shall we m Aiia-e Uieiu'.' If vour ,,ny or (U10S t Laie of 'voe, feeling that he or she has beeu wi justly discriminated against or has been unjustly treated or punished, do p.ot ask Las class mates or other children, for their version of the matter, but go. at once to his or her teacher and hear both sides of the story before judging.!

These are only a few of the ways in which a parent can assist m the training of his llirtt-l l i Ii I 'l '! Mlwl :ll'i cnliiimlc tn.ll . e 4l worthv of more than a passing thought. There is one more thing to which the writer wishes lo call attention. Do you visit the schools? If not why not? It is your right, your privilege and your duty. You piy taxes to build anil maintain the schools and you have intrusted the training of your child to a person within that school, and yet you J never go to see if that child is being properly trained. Ye, visit the schools and lend to them an encouraging hand. If you are pleased with the way the child is being trained commend the teacher. There is a great deal in knowing that an effort is appreciated. It costs you nothing and may aid. the teacher a gret deal in fulfilling his or her duties. if you are not satisfied then fee the superintendent and talk it over with him anel adjust the matter in an amiacable manner. Thus will the most good be accomplished and our duly to the rising generation be best fulfilled. Court Note.

0 A Has ! I. The persistency in which fictitious news has been made up at this p'.ae-e md sent to the leading journals of the country has finally led to what many pople predicted would be the case, if it wi;e kept up that is, some one of the journals would in time take measures to asertain who it was that so long ami so often not only fooled Unpublished themselves, out very greatly annoyed the citizens of the town in having such preposterous stories going about the country, dateel at Warsaw, every erne of which were false from beginning to end there not even being a scintilla of fact on which lo base the "cock and-bull" stories that have been sent for fully live years past. On Saturday a representative of the Cleveland (0.) Press arrived in the city to investigate the last story of which the paper was the victim-the one in which the particulars were given of the kidnaping of a girl by a young man who owned a line cottage on an island in JCagle lake, at this place, and which on coming to light was about to end in the lynching of the young man, the ground work having thus been laid, it will be observed, for an other dispatch to the Press, giving the particulars of the lynching, just as soon as it took place. The publishers of t Iiis paper were asked about the latter in a telegiam, and of course replied that there was nothing of the kind going on here. This led to sending the representative out and he was not long in eliscovering the author of the wholly made-up story. Just what will be i o ie in the matter remains to be seen. In Marshall county over a year ago a similar state of alliairs existed. Fictitious sews was sent to the leading journals of Chicago and elsewhere, and finally the correspondents got the newspaper into difficulty by representing the smallpox as prevelent at Plymouth. This uecame serious, and a libel case was foreshadowed at once, and it is said that the authors of the false news was compelled to run away to avoid an indictment. Sinse that time Plymouth and Uourbon have been comparatively free from "news fakes." We are noj sufficiently informed as to the law, but we presume there is some sort of punishment for any one who would take money for furnishing news, not a worel of which is true, on the ground that it partakes of swindling, at least. We do not know what course is to be pursued in this case, and for that reason wo refrain from giving the name of the author of the story eminating from this city, although it is said that the young man confessed that he was the individual who sent it.

A M;m Out Swlmmlnj I Atticked by 9 Milton Shane, of Pablo, was recently swimming arend out-dde tho surf and en oying hims 'If In the water as only .a expert swimmer can, says tho Floriela Times-I'nion. When he was about six hundred yards from tho beach, llcati g on his back, he was attacked by a si. ark. Shane immediately realized his danger and e erted every o:Tort to fight tho fi-di off and at tho .imo time reach, the story. Put tho shark was ierri us, and m often a re, ulsed would rjturn again to tho attack. The youn man, by clear-headedness and bravery, was ab e in some degree to evade the monster'9 cttacks. but not altogether, as at every dart of the fish part of the. unfortunate swimmer's f o-di was torn away. Hut it was a struggle for very life, and finally theycung man reached shallow water, and then the beach, almost exhausted from exertion and loss of blood. It was found that his thigh bore no less than twenty-six separate wounds mado by the shark's teeth, which, oving to "their peculiar formation, tore away tho flesh at every incision. A sea captain, who exH.mino 1 Shano.s hurts, paid that judging from tho marks tho fhark could not have been less than t?n leet lonr.
