that it was the popular resort. But the

to us that Democrat would fair as well

however, is not probably the scale in
which they weigh their patrons. We can
assure our friend Gaulding, ifhe will just

that they know very well "how to keep

AN HONEST CONFESSION AND SUaGEs
RIoN.-We are glad to see the Chicago
Republican endorse, as ''one of the mos,
sensible suggestions" it "has lately seen
concerning the disturbed condition OF
the South" a proposition from New
York Republican paper, which insists
that "the Government could better afford
to bring home every carpet baggcr now
engaged in Southern politics, and sci
him up in respectable business, or give
him pension, than to pursue the fatal
policy ofcontinual Federal intermeddling
with purely local affairs. The precedents
already established, or about to be set,
under the new Kuklux bill, are of the
most mischieyous kind, and will almost
inevitable bear prolific crops of evil here
after. Things Of that sort are invariably
doublo.edged, and if they cut Charleston
and Mobile to day, they may next year
be turned with equal effect against Bos-
ton and Bangor"
This very rock we have hitherto en-
deavored to point out. 1t may be fun
justpow to Northern radicals, to witness
the agonies and tortures inflicted upon
Southern people by the negro, carpet
bag and military domination, established
by the centralized government at Wash
ington; but the precedent is what all fore
seeing men drcad--realizing, that if it is
competent for the Federal government to
crush out liberty and municipal law in a
Southern State, the same usurping pow.
er will have the sanction of the prece-
dent, whenever party exigencies demand,
to assume control of the domestic gov.
ernment Of Illinois, or Of any other
Northern State. Do you not see, my
radical friend, that you are sowing dra-
CONS teeth Is there no ground for fear
that your chickens may come home to
roost p Chicago Democrat.

NORTHWESTERN BOUNDARY.

OF the pending subjects ofcontroversy
between the two governments, there re.
mains to be considered the question of
the northwestern boundary line. 1t is to
be remembered that, that line by the
treaty Of 1916 runs by the middle chan
mel which separates the continent from
Vancouver's island, but several such
channels exist Great Britain contends
that the channel of that treaty is the
Rosario straits, the United Statei that it
is the canal De lIaro, the two channels
being separated by the island of San Juan.
This question having once been report
ed on by mixed commission for a sur
vey of the line, the United States are not
content to refer it to another such com
mission, nor has it been deemed conven-
ent even though such tribunal has heen
appointed by friendly sovereign power
instead Of this. 1t has been agreed by
the present treaty to submit the question
directly to a neutral power, and tue en-
pcror of Germany has been selected for
the purpose. The government of the
United States has in its hands much doc
umentary evidence in support of its pre-
tensions not heretofore made use Of, and
on that a. well as on other grounds is

Change of Name.

Our neighbors of Maumee City are dis
satisfied with the name of their place because
Of the "reminiscences of fever and ague 4 form
er days. The mann adopted by the c. mmittee
appointed for the purpose, is that Of Rockford.
In our opinion that change is impolitie and
will not in any sense add to the merits Of that
locality. If no other argument than the change
Of name can be offered to induce parties outside,
10 visit it, aud identify themselves with it's in.
tereSts, tina name Of Rockford alone will prove
an abortion.
The name Maumee City stands alone amidst
the zS,0oO nlm,s in the Post Office Directory 4,
and as identified with the beautiful river after
which it is named, possesses pleasurabls asso-
Citations and significant advantages which infin-
hely surpass the petty feeling which arises in
the minds ofa few travellers, when joculary
rlmrded of its 'shaky' procliyities in former
days.
What is wanted in haumee, in Perrysburg
and at many other points in this valley, is not
the change Of name, but the change of social
and business habits. Let the local advantages
Of these localities be properly advertised and set
forth, and when men Of enterprise visit us let us
efler them encouragement. IL will then be
fund that the reputation offormer days has not
the shadow of weight in determining their ae-
tion in casting their lot with us.

Surrender of The Miners.

The long strike Of the Pennsylvania Goa
miners has ended, by the surrender OF the miu-
ers to the terms OF the companies. Coal owners
alone could not have done it; but the capital Of
coal owners combined with that Of the railroads
was too much for the laborers. The railroads
prevented any outside mine owners from acced-
ing to the terms of the miners, by exorbiIantly
raising the rate Of transportation; and thus,
while they inflicted distress on all the poor peo
Pile of the East by the famine prices of fuel.
they prevented any coal owner from giving the
miners work Till all were compelled by starva-
tion to submit to the reduction Of wages. Ii is
the most cruel subjugation of labor by capital
that has ever happened in this country. II is 10
be remarked that the extreme protective tariff
organs were fercely on the side Of this iniquitous
combination Of corporations to grind down the
reasonable wages Of the miners. This is but
another instance that the advocates OF our pro-
seriptive tariff have no sympathy with the
workmen.- Gin. Castle.
