graph of June 18th contains the address
Of Hon. ]. R. Clymer, Of Bucyrus, Ohio,
delivered before the Missouri Press Asso-
citation at that place, on June 9th. The
address is worthy Of the talented and
liberal gentleman who delivered it, and
who, we trust, will soon be restored to
health. The address concludes with;

Good advice. There's said to be honor
among thieves, and surely there ought to
be fair play among members Of the same
Republican party. From the swearing
we hear tell Of and the threats freely
made, "the party ofgreat moral ideas" has
its troubles also.

THE STARK COUATY DEMOORA1

a - ~ ~ @AANAA WV ~ = N~@%-N - NNNAA a
Did some little service during the late
Presidential campaign, to go no further,
both through its columns and otherwise
Wemay be pardoned for this reference,
since, Of late, slanderous tongues have
been busy with detraction, claiming we
we're extravagantly paid for all work done
for the party. Let us state one instance.
After the October election last fall, ur-
gent appeals came from our State Execu'
tive Committee to resume active work in
the county, as the Republicans were hold
ing meetings and organizing all over the
State. This induced a meeting Of our
committee and friends. 1t was agreed
that it was important we should resume
active campaign work in Stark county,
and endeavor to hold our own at least.
Our speakers were all ready to take the
held-toind was plenty and cheap. But
where was the money to come from to pay
for horse and carriage hire, bills and
po ting the same, and printing the tick
ets2 This was the serious question.
We at once said, the STARK COUNTY
DEMOCRAT Office would print the bills
and the tickets without charge, and would
see the bills for meetings were posted,
provided rigswere furnished for this pur-
pose. This was readily agreed to, and
campaign work was resumed.
We did our part of the work promptly
and faithfully-printed and posted the
bills for the meetings-printed and fur
nished each precinct in Stark county
with Tilden and Hendricks tickets in
abundance and in addition, as our COM
mittee did not, ae haze paid for all the hO-
ery rigs which were got TO take around The
bill posters, amounting to some $35.
We do not propose to put all this in
dollars and cents, and do not mention it
to boast or blow, but merely to show our
friends that gas is more plenty than dol
lars-wind work more abundant than
other necessary and indispensable work.
This is only one instance, and next
time our friends hear detraction, let them
remember this one case.

TIE LERDO MOVEMENT.
CAPTURE of El Pd8o-Alarm on the american
Side.

WASHINGTON, June I6.-The Collector
of Customs at El Paso, Tex, in letter
to the Secretary of the Treasury dated
May 20, informs the department Of the
capitulation ofthe city Of El Paso, Mexico
on the morning of the 18th of May, to
the partisans of Lerdo de Tejada, under
the immediate command Of P. z. Macho'
70, Colonel of the Second Regiment
Mexican Infantry, who is acting under
the authority and instructions of General
Escobedo. The taking Of the city was
accomplished between the hours of I and
6 o'clock A. M. All of the principal city
officials were taken prisoners among
them Rafael Varios,, Collector of Gus
toms, and nearly all his subordlnates
lose MaMesa, Gefe Polilico Mayor and
others, fifteen in all. 1t appears that the
uprising is general throughout the State
of Chihuahua, in accordance with a well
matured plan some time since perfected
and of which this movement is only a
part. 1t is authoritatively stated that
Quite large body of men will assemble
at this point (El Paso, Tex for the os>
tensible purpose of entering Mexico to
develop the mines. hut really their object
is altogether a different one, AT present
the Collector writes, there is no undue
demonstration; but at the same time, a
feeling of great insecurity prevails be,
cause of an expectation of an attempt at
counter.revolutions and fears of conse"
quent outrages and depredations on this
frontier. One G. Merando, who was
made Mayor ofthe city by Colonel Ma,
choro, publicly declared that he could
drive every American out Of the place. II
an attempt is made to carry this threat
into execution trouble will ensue. The
absence of troops on the American side
at the present time is greatly deplored'

BETWEEN eccentric laws and playful po,
licemen the respectable citizen of New
York often has hard time of it. The
other evening, while man and his wife
were enjoying the evening air on their
own steps, some rufians came along and
seizing the woman by the foot, such a
disturbance was raised as brought an of
fcer. The young scoundrels then fed,
and the gallant officer so we'll understood
his business that he not only did not
pursue them, but fell to clubbing the cit
izen on the steps, and knocked him into
the street, and kicked him around until
it was perfectly safe to drag him off to
the police station, with the assistance Of
another officer. The wife followed, and
they were both locked up. Repeatedly
the man said he was fatally injured, but
wide-awake police justice the next NOR
ming fDed them, for what is not CLEARLY
shown, and in default of payment they
were locked up, The victim of the club
bing died. The officer was crested, and
the Coroner Investigate the affair, after
the manner of nvestigating such things
in New York. The result is perefeCtly
natural one. The murderer was released
on fifteen hundred dollars bail, while the
widow Of the murdered man was locked
up as a witness.

MAssILLoN. The Independent says: The
primary election last Saturday was red
hot. The friends of the different candi-
dates worked hard for tn success oftheir
friends, with the following result in this
city: t,.-.
Senator-Folger, S75; Coates, 80; Hun
ter, 80. Representatives-Stanley "a
Porter, 274; Whiteleather, 1888; Smith 204,
Sherif-Johnson 445. Clerk-Arment
269, Wilson 176. Prosecuting Attorney
Lewis 445. Treasurer-Miller 100, AL
len 200. Auditor YoCkey 230, Ramsey
2lO. Commissioner-Clay 273, Wingard
l47 Coroner Slusser 3l2, Zerbe 126.
Infarmary Director-Meyer 445.
The hottest fight was over the candi-
dates for treasurer, and the way in which
the wire pullers worked, and the collos-
sal lies told about opposing candidates
by the ticket peddlers and wire-workers,
would make the devil tremble for the
permanency of his title as the father Of
lies.
If Saturdays work is not argument in
favor of the delegate system loud enough
and plain enough to reacn the dullest
comprehension, then there is no use to
argue that question any further.

e0vHnNOn TILpnN gaid the other day,

GOVERNOR TILDEN said the other day,
in his Manhattan banquet speech:
Evils in government grow by success
and by impunity. They do not restrain
themselves voluntarily. They can never
be limited except by external forces.p
These wise words apply with peculiar
force to our situation in this county. 1t
is true that tame submission to wrong
only perpetuates it, Successful fraud in
making nominations one year induces a
repetition the next, and so continues.
We confess astonishment at the easyaub-
mission TO the acknowledged fraud by
those who ought to grspple with the out
rage. II is time Democratic sentiment
was aroused in such a way as to demand
redress al once.

CoIAMB1ANA Co.,-Thos. Naughton of
Leetonia was indicted for selling liquor
and when Marshal Roller arrested him
in January 1875 he shot the marshal and
fled. He placed the pistol against Roll
lers left breast, and the ball passed
through the upper lobe of the lungs.
For a long time it was feared the wound
would prove fatal. Naughton last week
was arrested near Wilkesborro Pa. in a
coal bank. The officer who made the
arrest got the $500 reward, and the cul-
pirt is in Jail at New Lisbon. His trial is
set for to-day, before Judge Meyer.

Getting Their Rights {.

In Minnesota and also in Connec-
cut. bylaws recently enacted, a
married woman can make any con-
tract that she might make if unmar-
ried, except that the husband must
join in the deed of her realty and
the wife may bring her husband into
Court, and compel his performance
to an ordinary contract with her.
In many of the other States, the
wife has absolute control of her
seperate property, but they gener-
ally prohibit contracts for the trans
er of property between husband
and wife without the Intervention of
trustees. The denial of the right of
suffrage and of holding political
Office seem to be about the last rem
nants of formidable list of disa-
bilities formerly imposed upon mar
ried women, under the English
common law maxim, that man and
wife are but one and that one the

The Northern Pacific Branch
Railroad.

For the purpose of securing the
land grant to the building of the
Tacoma and Puyallup coal road, the
Directors of the N. P. r. r. repre-
sent that coal road to be q portion of
the branch over the Cascade noun
tains provided for in their charter.
For the purpose of securing the
support of the Oregon Senators and
Representative to the bill extending
the time on their grant. the same
Directors privately assure them that
the profits derived from this coal
road and the coal mines will be ap-
piled to the construction of the road
from Kalama to Portland. Tergiv-
ersation and fraud has marked the
transactions of that company from
its inception to the present time.
Whatever the promises to the Port
land people may result in, no man
acquainted with the topography of
the country believes that the COM
pany has or ever had any intention
of extending the coal road beyond
the coal mines, which are fanked
on the East by insurmountable hills
without an outlet in that direction.
The coal road doubles back upon
the line of the road to Kalama in an
acute angle, and is not in the direc-
ton of any surveyed line across the
mountains. To claim or receive any
portion of the land grant made to
the N. P. r. r. upon the pretence
that this branch forms any part of
the road for which the grant was in
tended, would be one of the great
est swindles ever perpetrated upon
the Government and the people. A
recent meeting of the stockholders
of the Company was held in New
York, called specifically among other
things, ito decide on ways and
means, by mortgage or otherwise,
of finishing and equipping the Com
pany's branch to the Puyallup coal
fields, and extending the road from
Kalama to Portland. No allusion
is made, either in the call or the
published proceeding, to this section
OF 1Cad as ,ls embraced in
their charter, for which the grant
was made, and it may be that they
have abandoned the purpose at one
time entertained of claiming it as
such; but they will bear watching,
and our Delegate to Congress is the
man sent there by the people to
watch after their interests.

where cents are contributed by them
for the support of the Government.
Slaves in their own country, with
their lives and property under the
absolute control of their masters,
with no other rights than brute
beasts, here they are secured in all
the rights of person and property of
the most favored citizen, and in re-
turn for these privileges they exhi-
bit no other respect for our laws
than to avoid the penalties and no
regard for our moral and civil insti-
tutions. They form in every town
an ulcer upon the body polite, to
breed contamination upon all within
its influences. Poor Cinnamon!
White men who had committed
the wrongs upon the poor Indian,
which they have received at their

breathe the free air of any civilized
community. Indians, living upon
the bounty Of the whites, fed and
clothed by the Government, mingle
almost daily in our streets unmoles-
ted, with the kindred blood of our
citizens qpcn their hands, of women
and children tortured and slain in
mere wantonness. Was ever
such forbearance exhibited under
such provocation to violence by any
other people? Yet our correspond
ent tells us that it has become pro-
verbal here that the inferior races
"have no rights which white man
is bound to respect"

THE SEWING MACHINE TUMRLE.-
Several important patents have fail
ed of renewal, after one or more
renewals in the past, and sewing
machine manufacture is practically
open to the world. At once the
leading makers advertise to sell ma
chimes at just half former prices;
and similar reductions must be an
nounced soon by makers at large.
This downfall Of long existing mo
nopoly will immensely help poor
people. The sewing machine has
become essential in almost every
home. It has cost too much money
hitherto; henceforth we may antici-
pate its general sale at prices which
people can afford to pay.
