STRANGE CoNDUcT.--We seldom med.
die in the business affairs of our neigh.
bors but we have a word to say to
our Elk county Democrats. The fact
that they elected a Radical, Daniel G.
Oyster, Sheriff, at the late election, is 0
fraud upon the party, disgraccful in
the extreme, and we suspect that nc
decent apology can be made for it
rhe idea of four Democrats attempt
ing to defeat one Radical is as prepos
ferrous as the repeated effort made by
drunken engineers, to successfully pass
two locomotives on single track rail
road, without producing a collision
All human beings, except fools and
drunken men know that such things
cannot be done Then, why should
sensible men actlike idiots Our oppon
cnts played the fool in a similar way
in a number Of counties at the recent
election, but Elk is the only county
where the Democrats initiated them
They may have a reason for doing so
but we doubt it.

Colonel Forncy has been to Washing

the capital and viewing the new gods
which have been erected since his de-
parturc. In one of tho happiest efforts

a picture of the three eras which have

era of Heroism that began with Abra-
ham Lincoln in 1861, continued until
succeeded by the era of Extravaganza
on the advent of Andrew johnson in

has come with Rutherford b. Hayes,

golden fruits. What other Heaven

how much the British Lion may at

victory in Asia, over the Turks, is q
menace, if not also decided victory
over England, Us well as over Germa-
ny and Austria, because the rulers Of
those Empires know very well thai
Russia has territory and population
enough already to make them feel un
comfortable, without acquiring any
more during this generation.
The campaign at the European end
of the line has not proved as success
ful, although It looks gloomy for the
Turks. 1t is true Plevna holds out
and has successfully held the Russians
at bay but the flank movement made
by the Russian Commander and th,
crossing Of the Balkan mountains
again, means either strategy or an ar
rangement for square fight on the
part OF the Russians.
This dashing movement on the part
Of the Russians, implies weakness on
tho part of the Turks, or they are will
ing to make one grand effort in th,
open field, the result OF which is to pul
an end to the present conflict.
II the Russian invasion means th,
acquisition of more territory, that En-

how successful the Russians may prov,
to be, either in Europe, or Asia. Th,

on resumption of specie payment Five
OF these are by as many noted writers

itself, that they were called upon by

not be given before tho publication Of

pcaled to hurried on their hastily-ex-

their essays were forwarded in proof
to John Sherman, with request that
he should review them, which this
elongated financial agony modestly
did. This was q trick of which ru.

Kelley and Ewing should be subjected
