WElhoticesa remarkable fact in the
Liverpool returns OF, the nationality
of the emigrants from that port to the
United States during the last calendar
month. Instead of the great MAORI
ty being Irish, as usual, the national
tiles of the 'steerage passengers were
as follows: 1928 English, 1879 Scotch,
2,315 Irish, 2,449 from the continent
In like manner, Of the steerage pas
sengers to Canada, 557 were English,
3 Scotch, 1876 Irish, and 3l2 other
countries. This phenomenon of such
an unusually large English emigra-
ton of late, doubtless has Its cause
10 the deranged condition of indus
trial OPP rations in the great cities of
England. Moreover.l the public men
and political economists of England
seem to be anxious to get rid, as soon
as possibles of large portion of Eng

We venture the statement. that the

certain allowances made by the County
Board, no one who has any, acquaint-

his entire honesty of purpose in 9alf
his acts as Commiss. oner. He has
lived in Vauderburgh County for
forty years, and has sustained an un-
sullied character. No man but the
irresponsible and malignant scribbler
for the Copperhead organ ever charged
him with dishonesty or imputed to
him a wrong motive It was only at
the earnest solicitation OF his neigh
bors and the old residents of the
county that he consented to become a
candidate. The abuse of such reck-
less men as those who are conducting
the campaign. In the interest Of the
.Copperheads will do no harm. Such

A Card From Captain Darling.

aEditors Journal:
In the Courier of Sunday, the edi-
tor answers the question propounded
by the JOURNAL, whether Captain
Darling has not made good Sheriff
and discharged the duties of his office
with marked ability" by boldly assert
ing that | am not qualified, and in
proof of his assertion publishes the
affidavit of Judge Robinson and the
proceedings of the Court therein.
My answer to that is the same now
as it was then; that it had been the
custom and habit of the keepers of
the County Prison (and especially
of Democratic Sherifs) toansuffer
prisoners, committed @ for smisde-
meanors and minor. offeuses, to
have, at times, the privilege of going
out into the prison yard, and to oc.
casionally employ them doing work
about the prison, and while | was
conveying prisoners to the State
Prison, the jailor had FINLEY attend :,
ing to my horse; that the horse got
away from him aud he followed aud
brought him back. For that / was
fined fifty dollars He further says:
" We understand that Capt. Darling
had this man FINLEY in his employ as
a baliff and received his pay as such. :"

never was employed by me or any one
else as bald Ct = and neither he nor |
