Two YEARS ago, when the nonina-
tion of "John B. Longley' was pend
ing, he declared that if he was not
nominated, he would turn the power?
of his? paper against the ticket. He
and his satellites are declaring now,
that if they "cannot nominate their
ticket they can beat the one that is
nominated" He should openly declare
in favor OF the Democratic party, as he
did when he held an Office at the hands
of Republicans, by supporting Horace
Greeley for President, in 1872, and
thus have wider scope for his present
persistent abuse of our Republican
President Grant. The Republican par.
ty of Belmont County need no covert
enemies such as he, in their camp
They can easily afford to rid them
selves of an incubus who, under the
the specious plea of reform, done what
he could to enrich himself, and to SOW
dissension in the ranks of the party.

Aword Of Caution.

BELLAIRE LETTER.

BELLAIRE, u, July III, 1910.
Mr.. A. G. Bro Wn, A. B., of West
Liberty, West Va, is making an at
tempt to establish select high school
or academy, in Bellaire, for the teach
ing of Latin, Greek and the other more
advanced studies. No successful effort
to teach anything of this kind has ever
been made here for any length of time.
Our public schools have no provisions
for anything higher than the common.
est education, and there is no prospect
of their improvement in this respect.
The advissbility of doing everything
that can be done to secure the estab-
lishment of Mr.. Browns school here
will be apparent, and we hope our citi-
zens will not be backward in rendering
their support.
There is considerable sickness in our
city. In the lower part of town sew
eral are afflicted with typhoid fover,
while all over town complaints OF sick.
ness resembling cholera are heard.
Most of this is probably chargeable to
indiscretion in ealing and drinking;
but still no little proportion of it could
be avoided if the proper care were
taken by our officials, of the condition OF
our streets and alleys. These are in q
shameful condition. Half OF the gut
tiers in town are filled with stagnant
water covered with that ugly green
scum which is so deleterious to
health. Decaying vegetable substance
and other offal is allowed to remain in
the alleys, and nothing whatever is
done to preserve the cleanliness OF
healthfulness of the city.
There is now being built in this city,
what will be, when completed, the
finest hotel in the county. 1t is the
Centennial Hotel, at the corner OF
Union street and Central Avenue, op.

What Does ID All Mean.

The Cincinnati Times calls attention
to an advertisement in the Enquirer an
nouncing a meeting at Lafayette Hall,
in that city, "for the purpose of organ
izing a newEatholic Independent Mill
tia" AS the meeting was fixed for
Sunday afternoon it must be that the
case was urgent and that the troops are
to be needed at once. The question
naturally presents itself, what are these
Catholic warriors going to do? What
foes are they marshaled to fight? Who
furnishes their arms, the Archbishop
or Uncle William Allen? These ques-
tions have come to us already from
several points in the State, notably from
Niles, in Trumbull county, where a
large Catholic military organization
drills regularly and zealously behind
barred doors and darkened windows.
People in Niles are anxious to know
what it is all about, but they get no ex-
planation from the Catholics.
Looking round for the meaning OF
this dark lantern military movement
we find the following suggestive para
graph quoted from the FreenlG1a's Jour-
nal, the acknowledged head and front
of the Catholic Democratic press in the
United States:
There is, nominally, within the
Democratic party secret organization,
ramified, less or more, through most of
the States of the Union, and proposing
to come to head next year, in the
general election, Federal and State.
Here is indeed richness. While the
Pain Dealer and other Democratic or
gans have been bowling "dark liant
ern," "grip" and "pass word," claim
ing that there was a Know Nothing
organization in active working order
among the Republicans, there has been
going all the time this silent organiza.
ton within the lines of the Democracy
itself. The cry of "dark lanterns" and
"Know Nothing" has been the wild
barbaric chant with which they have
sought to drown and conceal the noise
of preparation in their own camp
Now, the question of the moment il
whether this ''secret organization with
in the Democratic party" and the
Catholic militia of Niles and Cincin
natl, are parts of the same army? Are
they all brethren in arms or are there
two departments to the Democratic
machine, the civil and the clerico mill
tary. The Plain Dealer might per
petrate an unusual feat of enterprises by
revealing some of the secrets of the
allied camp. Ever since the P. ID
backed down Oh the Leaders, challenge
to show that there was any Republican
secret society for "the purpose of op
posing foreigners and Catholics" W.
have suspected that it was only trying
to raise dust TO obscure something
that it did not wish the enemy to see
Meanwhile, where is Father Gilnour'
militia? Is he going to be behind TIM

The Republican Convention.

The Republican Convention which
meets at Belmont on Saturday, so far
as we can judge from the character Of
the delegates from the various town.
ship, will be one of the largest and best
delegate conventions ever held in the
county. Men of sterling worth, hav-
ing alone the best interest of the grand
old Republican party at heart, and
earnest desire for an honest and cap
able administration of our public af-
fairs will be largely 10 the ascendancy.
The work before them will be of no
ordinary importance. Their political
enemies have put forward State tick
ct, upon platform subversive OF the
true interest of the citizen, and in favor
of tree trade, unlimited greenbacks,
the abolition of the best system OF
banking. payment of the bonded debt
in paper, and of almost every other
heresy, which tends to weaken our ma
tIonal credit, aud destroy our home in
dustries. Their opponents in the coun-
ty have placed ticket in the field
wholly unworthy of the support of the
decent members of their party, and
composed mostly Of men who are re-
pugnant to the best elements ofsociety.
However this may be, it should not
lull Republicans into a feeling of secu-
rity, nor lessen their anxiety to place
in nomination strong ticket with local
as we'll as general force in the county.
After the question of fitness for the
place, is settled in the minds OF dele
gates. then it should be determined
how much general strength will this or
that candidate bring to the support OF
the ticket, and what does ne deserve at
the hands of the party for long and
faithful service in its behalf. When
these questions are well and carefully
considered, we have faith that the men
who will assemble at Belmont, will in
a spirit of harmony, unite upon tick
ct that will commend itself not only
to a solidified Republican host, but to
the better sense of the honest men OF
Democratic ranks, and one which will
bear the standard of victory from the
outset. So mote it be.

OUR Confederate financiersinsistt that
Northern greerbacks indefinitely null
tiplied would not become as worthless
as the Southern graybacks, because,
they tell US, the greenbacks have the
whole country for security and the
graybacks were baseless. This is false
view, and deceitful above all things.
The French assignats had as good land
as there is in the world, and they became
worthless. The Confederate notes had

We are now prepared to put all the latest
improvements on old style Wheeler Dc Wilson
sewing machines, at but trifling cost. With
these improvements an old machine would
work as well as new one of the latest style
and we would guarantee it just as long as a
new machine. The principle of the new ma
chine is the same as the old, but changes have
been made which increase its efficiency, while
at the same time less care and skill are requir-
ed in its management. Seams are crossed
with ease. The work guided with scarcely an
effort. Nearly double its former power. No
under tension to manage. Every joint can be
tightened as fast as it wears.

New Process Of Making Sugar.

A recent French process consists in
obtaining sugar from molasses by the
addition to the latter of certain salts
which provoke crystallization. Tae
plan is to add TO spent molasses-con-
tanning, say fifty per GENT. OF sugar, fif-
teen per cent. OF salts, and twenty per
cent. of water, crystalliZed sulphate of
magnesia in the proportion of twenty
per cent. by weight together with q little
water, to make solution Of the sui
phate marking ten degrees, Baume. The
whole is then subjected to centrifugal ac-
ton in machine having perforated sides
or very fine wire cloth The sulphates
of lime and potash precipitated are re-
tanned, and the liquor is then filtered
through charcoal, and boiled in vacuo.
After cooling, certain quantity of
pounded sugar is added to form nuclei,
and the syrup is lastly subjected to the
ordinary temperature of filings, the
heat being alternately raised and low-
cred. After few days capitalization
becomes exceedingly abundant, and con-
tinues to increase for some. time, after
which tho hydro-eXtractor is employed.
The capitalization of the sugar results
from elimination of the potash, the salts
of which are prejudicial, its place being
taken by the magnesia, whose salts are
favorable.

Poor Cassie! How worn and faded she
looked in that dingy morning wrapper,
in those dingy rooms. How unlike the
bright happy girl Of ten years ago.
Forcing back the tears, she walked
hastily to the bureau, and among skirts,
and pinaIores, and stockings, commenced
a search for the desired handkerchief.
What was it that arrested her attention,
and sent her thoughts back to her happy
girlhood? Only a little pearl box, lined
with blue satin. She opened it with a
sigh; reposing there lay the forgotten
rose-buds, withered like her own fair
hopes.
