The AMERICAN WORKING PEOPLE,
a monthly magazine earnestly devoted
to the cause of protection to American
industries, and to the interests of the
working people, comes to US this month
full of terse exhaustive articles against
the policy of revenue tariff only. 1t
Is liberal in tone, comprehensive in
grasp, and thorough IN its dealings
with the great questions to government
and society which it undertakes to dis
cuSs. Upon its first page appears a
scene of farmers life and surroundings
under free trade and protection. In the
former poverty indicates the result of
seeking a market across the ocean, and
in the latter plenty and comfort reveal
ed on all sides are a powerful argument
in favor of protection. tits a truthful
picture.
On the second page appears the "His-
tory of Protection" by the editor, in
which the commercial policy of Euro
pean governments to the American
colonies will be rigidly investigated
with view to elucidate and evolve the
truth underlying the antagonistic theo-
ries of protection and free trade. This
history will be carried down to the
present. Glll6 anu IL Is unu6fSt0Ou VIII
then appear in book form. The story
of "Kat;e Kyla" breaks a monotony
and it becomes Immediately interest

The disastrous consequences of Eng
lish free trade in Ireland is portrayed
from historical sources.
The biography of the eminent rail-
way engineer, George Stephenson, is
introduced and furnishes an instructive
and encouraging chapter to working
men.
Its protection articles strike home,
and should be read by all who feel an
interest in the social and political con-
servation of American workingmen
and American ideas. Numerous well
chosen selections intersperse the volu-
minous original matter, and on the
whole we have not lately met with a
more valuable and interesting maga-
zine.

from her feet on the 9Th inst. and was

The Liquor seller mentioned in last

The friends of the proposed r. R.

cure the road and securea terminus at

Ladies have long PLAYED billiards i

Ladies have long played Billiards in
private life, but in Boston, last Friday
night, Madame GARNER, "a neat and
rather pretty little French woman
gave public exhibition of her skill at
the MeIodeon HoIl. She is the wife of
Prof. GARNER, himself, "a crack player, !"
amp her game is described as ''parta-
king more of the sure than the brillant.p

Icar0ms, one-cushion shots and draws
She handles her cue after graceful and
easy fashion. This finishes matters
Women have now done everything
which man can do, from the preaching
of sermons to the playing of billiards.
The equality" of the sexes may now,
therefore, be considered as settled. To
be sure, we should like to know what
equality used in such connection,
means-but never mind. We have no
time for an inquiry. We must take
time, however, to state that at the
House of the Good Shepherd, Ro-
man Catholic asylum in Boston, there
is Steam-engine for household pur-
poses, which is run by Sister Mary st.
Margaret, as engineer; and the good
creature gives perfect satisfaction in this
department of human energy. There
is no reason under the sun why We
man should not manage a locomotive,
ii she can do it; but for all that, W.
have not the least idea that the softeg
sex will ever generally oust the hard; n
sex from that employment. In this
world there are certain matters which
arrange themselves.

CATrLE.-The market closes considerably
drmer than it opened, and with none left over
unsold, the prospects for the coming week arc
regarded as being more favorable than for sew
ersl weeks past; furthermore. it is probable. In

prevailed in the west together with unusual
Scarcity of cars on the Fort Wayne road, that

Col. J. w. Forney has sent to Gen.
Grant his resignation as Collector at
Philadelphia, because he cannot hold
the Office and preserve his independence
as editor. There have of late been
signs that something was going to give
away. The columns of the Press have
for some time contained proof of a con-
fiict, which Col. Forney intimates has
led him to resign the Office to devote
himself to the duties and privileges of
an independent editor. Precisely what
hasbeen the nature of that conflict, be-
tween whom, and about what it has
prevailed, will doubtless be known in
time.

COUNTY.


Comrades, During a previous ses-
sion of Congress, petions were placed in
the hands of your fellow soldiers in or
der to be presented for signature asking
for warrant for 160 acres of Public
Lands. These petitions were not pre-
sented excepting (about 80 nanles) and
the measure was defeated. At this
present session ascertained atmy own
expense tnat a large majority of the
soldiers were in favor of the grant,
and | then proposed and put in execu-
tion form of bill which wasapproved,
and l am happy in presenting to your
notice the following from our honorable
Representative in Congress, John A.
Bingham.
WASHINGTON, d. C. Feb. 5 1927
"Your letter received and will to-day
be presented to the House of Repre-
sentatives. The justiceof the measure
has many advocates, and it shall re-
eeive my earnest consideration in the
future as in the past"
Hoping that the soldiers will act
more promptly in matters relating to
their interests I have the honor to sign
as Your Obt' Servant

There is a peculiar pleasure in setting
foot within the limits of a noisy, busy,
restless town. There is music in the
tap of the hammer, the whirr-r OF the
saw, the steady puff of the engine, the
rapid nervous tread of workmen, that
YOU can never hear in the quietstreets of
a lazy village. We confess this was our
feeli >g while in Bellaire last week. We
called at the Implement Works few
moments, and during our walk through
the different departments, we felt
the force Of that spirit of industry that
win make Beliaire city, If not Bel

Statein manufacturing interests. About
so hands are now employed with room
for 60 more as soon as they get under

A bill has been introduced in the Leg
islature by Senator Knox, from this
District, to provide that a Sheriff shall
pass over money in his hands, as well
as books and papers, to his successor in
Office. This would seem to be the only
natural way Of doing the thing, and the
only wonder is that the present incon-
venient method has been permitted to
stand SO long.
The government sold during October
last $4,000 acres of land in Kansas. In
the same State, 136, 900 acres were 10
Gated under the Homestead act, and
G, 600 sold for cash under the AgricuItur-
al College and Military Bounty acts.
Township clerks in Missouri get for
handling the school money "tlOo per
cent" on all moneys received and paid
out by them, which is construed in
many cases to mean two per cent. on
moneys received, and two per cent. on
money paid.
The Army and Navy Journal, good
authority, shows that it would require
all the much vaunted navy of Spain,
in tho event of a war with this country,
to defend the coast Of Cuba, rendering
it impossible for that power to essay a
coup de main upon our coast. Spanish
iron-clads are shown to be far from in
vulnerable.

DANCE IN A Poor HoUsEi-Consid-
ering that our misery is generally the
result of constrasting advantages and
positions in life, dance at a poor-house
is an affair worthy of some comment.
On Wednesday night Of last week a
large number of the gay and festive. of
this place and elsewhere met at the In
fimary for thespurpose of having a hop.
The Superintendent Mr.. Lowe, having
heard of the affair and wishing to obey
the wish of the directors refused to
grant the use of the halls. By some
means, however, no matter how honor
able, the dancing began and was kept
up until near morning. Without the
least care for this intrusion, and thattoo
upon a family whose religious scruples
made the intrusion doubly unpleasant,
the halls were taken possession of and
through the long hours of the night the
iances continued to plant their gay
-ags in the face of misery. A hundred
wretched, sickly, pitiable creatures
we're through their hours of rest
zept alive to their misery and robbed
