General Garfield is the tenth or
twelfth man who has undertaken
this work. One can draw conclus-
ions as to his success, however, from
the failures of others. He, at least,
is in earnest, and, it will be obserY-
ed, does not confuse the question.
The past and its sins he lets alone,
and probably because he recognizes
the fact that those who have taken
advantantage of the law increasing
salaries cannot Bzbe reached
by law, but by public opinion
He proposes simply to begin again
and to begin right.
His proposed method of opera
ton has one advantage. 1t is direct,
and, according to Z parliamentary
rules, includes no debate. Every
proposition thus far made for the
adjustment of the salary question
has been smothered in talk, like
beef-steak in onions, What is
right and judicious has been lost
sight of between the jeers of those
who are controlled solely by the pub
ic demand and the pulling fears of
those who perceive that what is le-
gal is not necessarily honest. Gener-
al Garfeld's scheme will not give
these gentlemen further opportunity
for talk. It we'll give them an op-
portunity to vote, and that is of
more consequence. We hope Gen.
Garfield will conduct his assault on
high salaries with due oircumspee-
tion, and that if he is defeated, it will
be by an. ambuseade. or a midnight
attack, not on the open field, where
we can see who is lighting on the
other side.-M, 7, Post. - g.od,ia /

Mr.. Caleb Gushing, whom the Pres
ident nas appointed to succeed Gen.
Sickles as minister to Spain, is cred
tied with the authorship of an arti-
Gle in Washington paper, attack
ing the position taken by Attorney
General Williams in the Virginius
matter. After deciding that the
Yirginius had no right to carry the
American flag, Mr.. Williams took
the ground that the flag, though Un-
lawfully carried, still entitled the
vessel to immunity from interference
by Spain or any other foreign Pow
er. The article which Mr.. Gushing
is said to have written holds that
this is tantamount to saying not that
the flag protects the ship, but that
the mask protects the malefactor.
To insist upon it would be to license
piracy on the high seas, provided the
pirates hoist the, American flag when.
hard pushed. Whether Mr.. Cush-.
ing wrote this article or not, the po-
sition taken in it is perfectly sound,
and, if it is the sentiment of Mr..
Cushing, it becomes evident that he
ought to have been appointed to Gen.
Sickles' place before now, He
might have saved the American peo-
pie several millions of dollars, which
have been recklessly thrown away
on the Navy. I

former rather diminutive size. Not
withstanding the stringency of f.
nancial matters, and the luIl of bus
mess, the burden of the enterprise
has been assumed, in the hope that
we shall be able, through the
promptness and iberality of our
friends, and the probable increase of
business, to see our way out. But
whatever the sense of the burden
may be, we are not left comfortless.
The size and appearance of the pa
per is a source of decided pleasure to
US, as we presumeit is to our patrons
and the public. In appearance and
workmship, it, at least, has no su-
perior in the county, and In size, we
believe it takes precedence. In these
respects. then, it may be allowed to
be, perhaps, fully up to the demand.
Of its intrinsic merits, perhaps the
reader is the more proper judge.
Modesty will hardly allow of our
yenturing upon that ground. This,
howeveE, We may be permitted to
say, that in a careful selection and
preparation of It's material, and in
the freshness of its shbjectAmatter,
we believe that we need not shun a
comparison with any of our cotem-
poraries. Nomeans will be omitted
for making it creditable exponent
of the progress growth and
and importance-of the chief town
in the county, and embracing the
news of all. parts of the county,
mindful, at all times, especially, Of
its interests and welfare. Its polit-
zeal character and party connections
are too well known to need a word.
Honesty, temperance and virtue
which exalt people-will continue
to receive its best efforts and atten-
tons. Consistently with this line of
policy, we shall not fail to give the
best paper in the county if our abil-
tiles are equal to our purpose. Let
us, then, have such a share of the
recognition and patronage of the
county as our merits entitleu us, and
the intelligence and satisfaction of
the people shall approve, and this
let US have without delay. M ,s

is it strange that he prides himself on
the fact that his eye is yet bright enough
and his own right arm is sufficiently
steady to testify to his valor of years
gone by. Hence, we are not inclined to
condemn the old gentleman for his an
nual sacrifice of marten to convince the
doubling that he can yet beat the young

about. But we suppose that friend
Mackley will still scold, and the General

sight and strength will enable him to
take off bird at sight.
General Moore ought to be old enough

We may be fanatical on the tobacco
nuisance. Perhaps wes are. Still we
think we have some rights. We pay oul
taxes-not very much, but all we ought
to, for the purpose of building and sup
porting court house and public offices
yet we are often driven from these places
by smokers who have not the least bust
ness there, when often our duties require
US to be present.
We are glad that the tobacco outrage

Last winter an effort was made to clear it
from the Senate Chamber at Columbus.
The effort failed, but it was move in the
right direction.
B. j. Loomis, the accomplished cores

Among other incidents he relates the
following:

much, and violation of the laws against
cruelty to animals to describe as beastly,
as an employment and accomplishment.
We had a specimen of this sort (they are
not confined to Chicago) on the Randolph
street omnibus yesterday. He climbed
in where several gentlemen were riding,
and from his short-stubbed, sinking pipe,
commenced drawing the nauseating
fumes, when a gentleman of this city sit
ting nearest him mildly informed him
that his pipe was offensive, and directed
his attention to the injunction plainly
posted prohibiting smoking in the bus;
| The remonstrance was of no avail. If
the fellow had ever possessed the first
instinct of gentleman-that of avoiding
offense to others-his appetite had over

wordy alteration to call for the interyen-
ton of a police officer to whose mandate
the hog succumbed and put out the nasty
fire. / put this on record as case where
a man in the uniform of policeman has
manfully done his duty, as well as to
illustrate the courtesy of that portion ot
the hog family, who travel in railroad
cars and omnibuses with foul pipes in
operation or only less air befouling cigars
lighted. 1t is common experience IN

When the great fire occurred at Chi
cago couple of years ago, some of the
preachers said it was judgment sent
upon the place for its great wickedness.
Unbelievers laughed at this idea. We
are not so sure about that Every viola
ton of law, whether natural or moral
law, is punished, and that without a
miracle, either.
We look for further judgments to be
visited upon Chicago. We came to this
opinion from reading the character of its
people, as portrayed in such. incidents
as the following, from the letter of Mr..
Loomis
An incident of the fire on Tuesday
night, which is not calculated to mollify
the feelings of the crusaders and those
| in sympathy with them, was the fact
that when beautiful new school house
recently erected at an expense of $50, 600
was menaced by the advancing flames
that surged down in raging fury from
the scene of their afternoons exploits,
and when the sturdy fremen had so
disposed their forces and gone at their
work as to give fair promise of saving
the threatened seat of learning, a mys-
terious order came, emanating from no
one seems to have known where, to
leave the work in hand and hurry away
to position two or three squares away
and protect liquor store. The school
house was abandoned TO its fate, and
when the attention of the fire brigade
was again turned in that direction the
edifce was in flames and beyond the
power of rescue. 1t may placate the
gentle crusaders to know that the liquor
store also was burned with its contents
The last building on the west side OF
State street which was attacked by the
flames was of course made the place of a
s5urdy resistance by the firemen. 1t es
capped with only some slight damage tc
the exterior. Passing that way the next
morning one saw spread across the broad
front windows in glaring capitals, "Great
Opening" One did not need to enter tc
see that the great opening meant an
opportunity for an immense flow of lager
and other stimulants, which thirsty
crowd made way with at a consuming
rate. In looking over the lists of losses
and their amounts as published this
morning, one is struck with the surprising
amounts, considering how nimble is
their business and how quick their re
turns, reported lost by the saloonists
This class was numerously represented
in the burnt district, and the sums sci
down as representing the value of stocks
burned run from five hundred to two
thousand dollars. In great majority
of instances the amount is reported with
a uniformity of precision at just 81 600

BY THE EDITOR.

Did you ever sit down and consider
how we are all akin to each other by
marriage2 Try it once. Take Pike
county, for instance. Mr.. gilmore, in
his "Notes by the Way and his Inter
views with the Old Folks" names great
many persons, and can trace relation
ship with most of them. In his last
paper is this:
while on our tramp, we heard of the
death of Samuel Cutlip, which took place
in Scioto township, July l. He was aged
about 83 years. He was half brother to
the venerable Isaac Cutlip, whom we and
others suppose to be upwards of 120
years of age, and who resides in Scioto
township"
Are all the Cutlips and the James fam
lily in Pike county my relatives2
In the winter of 1882 an old man came
to my fathers house. He was apparently
between seVenty-five and eighty years of
age. He was tall-over six feet, straight
as young man, keen black eye, elastic
step, and lively as q man of forty. He
introduced himself as Joseph Davis, my
mothers uncle. had often heard my
mother speak of her mothers brothers,
the Davis family, after whom 1 was
named. She had last seen them in the
Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, when she
was young woman. but she had neither
seen nor heard of them for more than
forty years. Mr.. Davis informed us that
he had been living for some time near
where my mother resided, in the south
part of jackson county, he came to see
her.
During the summer of 1888 my father
and mother visited uncle Jo Davis, and
he aud his wife and daughter Anice Wis

daughters was married TO o man named

Great wars always produce large guam
titles of touching original poetry. The
late Democratic rebellion originated much
touching original verse, but it never pro-
duced anything to compare with the fol
lowing which is the outgrowth of the
miners war up at Nelsonville. We find
it in the Nelsonville Miner:
TO THE MINERS UNION.
Come all you jolly Miners
Wherever you may be,
pray You give attention
And listen unto me.
The fate of we poor Union men,
For six months out of work my boys
And never struck a blow.
We Miners wanted nothing,
But what was honest and right;
The bosses wouldn't give it,
But got the niggers for to light.
They came to Hooking Valley,
AS it is told to me;
Which did plainly see.
They placed he'muskets in their hands,
With powder and some ball;
To fire at the Union men,
If they did anything at all.
But the Union men they was not rough
But walked with will;
They marched up and down the streets,
ana oack TO NelsonV1lle.
The Operators will not pay,
The fair and honest thing;
FBut turn against the Union men,
And fetch the niggers in.
So pity we poor Union men,
That in the Valley stay;
For we do our best and that you know,
To send the niggers away.
But the bosses they are to blame,
And that you all do know;
For encroaching on we Union men,
And bring our wages low.
For the darkies they have come sir,
And that you all do know;
To take the place of white men,
And him to overthrow.
So pity we poor miner,
That works all under ground;
All up and down the Valley,
And through to Shawnee town.
There's Thomas Pirt, the President,
Of the Union men, you know;
Likewise Sunderland, Secretary,
Which the bosses wan is to overthrow.
They still encourage the Union men,
That can plainly see;
They are as brave and upright men,
AS ever crossed the sea.
