THE Senatorial Convention for the
HarrIsoh-B District will meet al
on Monday, August 9th. 1t
has been generally understood for SOME
months past, both in Harrison and
Belmont counties, that Senator Knox
would be candidate for denomination.
He has consented to be a candidate at
the solicitation of leading men in both
counties, and a general expression of
sentiment that left no question as to his
duty in regard TO the matter. By
courtesy, the Belmont county Republi-
cans have the right to make the choice
of the candidate at the coming Conven-
uon. The matter of the location of the
candidate, however, is one of very
little importance, and not worthy OF
serious consideration. What is wanted
is an able legislator and a strong candi-
date, a man who will poll a large vote.
Senator Knox has been the Republican
leader in the Ohio Senate for the past
two years, at least, and his entire legis'
lative record is one Of which any man
in the State might well be proud. He
can do better service for the District,
and for the State, than any other man
that we can send up at this time. Con.
sidering the mere question of party
success, no safer or better man could
be nominated. He has always added
strength to the ticket in Belmont
county, and in Harrison county hi:
vote has always stood from ion
to $50 a head of the genera
State and county ticket. There hai
been no time in the past when Senator
Knox was SO well liked by the people
of his own county as he is to-day, snC
we have reasons to believe, in fac
there is no doubt whatever, that he j
equally popular at this time in Belmon
county. If th- Convention is to &C
with the greatest " iS'iOm, and for th'
welfare of the party, and for the wei
fare of the general public, it will re
nominate Senator Knox, without hesi
tation and without dissenting VOTE

Who Pays the Bill?

from The Phlla. Press.
1t. is not merely capital that is
jeopardized by such outbreaks. If they
occur on account of the inability of the
civil authorities to suppress a riotous
demonstration, every taxpayer must
help to liquidate the bill OF damages,
and in modern civilization taxpayers
mean not only people who own or rent
houses, but every man who earns an
honest living. The burning of bridges,
depots, cars aud locomotives by a mob
is therefore direct act of hostility to
the entire community in which such
havoc Occuis. Philadelphia had a
painful lesson on this subject after the
riots of 1914, when our own courts
justly decreed that she should pay the
cost of the churches an uncomfortable
mob had destroyed.

have resided in the county $50 days

course, apply to the great mass of vot-
ers in every township anG save them
the expense and trouble of registering.
A person removing from one county

STRUCK OUT.
The Power of the Strikers BrOk-
en- for the Present All Along
the Line.
From the Cincinnati Gazette. ]

From the Cincinnati Gazette.
Our dispatches this morning give
mainly the echoes of the great strike.
Law and order have asserted their
sway, and the mObs are no more. In
Chicago, st. Louis, and San Francisco,
where the communists required the
most persistent clubbing, complete
quiet has been restored, and the police
and soldiers find nothing to contend
with. Now that the troubles are over,
there is no lack of armed forces. In
St. Louis there are 1900 men under
arms. In Chicago, besides the heavily
armed and mounted police, there is
concentrated considerable section of
the regular army under command of
Sheridan, Pope, and Crook. II Pitts
burgh the trouble is reported at an end,
and sufficient military forces are col
lected along the line of the Pennsyl-
vania road to protect the running of
trains which will be begun to-day.
The strikers, however, still hold out,
and declare that the road Can not re-
sumo full operations for want of men.
The raising of the freight blockade is
already beginning to be felt in the
various branches of trade, though it
will take days and, perhaps, weeks for
business to wholly recover from the
interruption. Workmen in the large
citses, assured of protection, are re
turning to their shops and factories.
The most serious situation of affairs
prevails In the mining regions of Penn
sylvania, where, according to the re-
port OF our correspondent, from $1,000
to 200, 900 men are now on a strike.
Labor troubles in that section are
chronic, but they have never been so
widespread or alarming as now. AL
ready great want and suffering are re-
ported, and unless an understanding is
speedily arrived at, there will be actual
starvation among the wretched people
who depend upon the great coal COM
panies for their living. One of the re
suits of the strikes of the miners is a
prospective advance in the price of
coal.
The strike seems to linger longest in
Indiana, the State whose Governor at
tempted to get possession OF United
States troops without complying with
the NJ cessary formalities of law. The
engineers OF the Vandalia road struck
Saturday night, and yesterday attempt
ed to prevent trains from passing
however, they held meeting and re-
solved to go to work mt once. The i
Pittsburgh K Fort Wayne strikers still
hold out, but negotiations are pending
between them and officials at Alliance,
which are likely to bring about an
agreement. !.

The Demo cratic Convention resolv-
ed against national banks, and then
proceeded to nominate national bank
man for Governor. r. NJ. Bishop
helped organize the First National
Bank of this city, served as Director
until within the current year, and is
still stock-holder. That is more ridic-
ulous than the resolution to have paper
money convertible into coin, which
means resumption. The platform, and
the candidate together, are fine
specimen of Democratic inconsistency,
which will bother the party in the
campaign, and defeat it at the polls

IT is tolerably evident that the DEM
ocratic party will not be able to make
much out of the strikes. The COnyen-
tion of the party in this State do not
find it polite to adopt q resolution of
sympathy with the noble rioters. The
only remedy the Democratic states
men had to propose for the evil of the
times was to postpone indefinitely the
return to a sound currency and steady
valuations. Evidently the Socialists
are about to to form third party. The
Democracy cannot afford to go to the
bottom of things with them, so the
bottom of the Democratic party is fall
ing out. That party cannot retain at
once within its fond embrace Wander
bilt, Jewett, Scott and Garrett, and the
mob of strikers with their swarms of
sympathizers. The disintegration oi
the Democratic party seems to have sci
with certainty that it will be contin-
ued with increasing vigor.

THE madness which rules the hour
in the Democratic camp is well Illus
trsted in its direct repudiation of the
Resumption platform on which it made
the canvass last year, and declaring in
favor of an unlimited issue OF paper
money by the Federal Government.
That plank alone should insure the
overwhelming defeat of the party In
October.

Mr.. BISHOP, the Democratic candi-

of Cincinnati by a coalition between
the Republican and native American
elements, and it is a curious circum-
stance that Rutherford B. Hayes was
upon the same ticket as candidate
for City Solicitor, and ran some hun
dreds of votes ahead of Mr.. Bishop.
1t is now in order for Mr.. Bishop to
show whether he was Know-Nothing
or Republican at that time.

Bad for the Auditors.

From the Springfield Transcript.
The late Ohio Legislature enacted q
law extending the term of office OF
county Auditors one year, making it
three instead of two years. But before
the bill was enrolled, some person, who
knew perfectly well what he was about,
stole the eDgrossed copy, and that law
will appear in the volume of laws for
1877 with a lengthy explanatory note
from the Attorney General, in which
he expresses grave doubts of the valid
ity of the law, appearing as it does
from another than the legal-copy. He
says there is no way OF determining the
absolute text of the law in the absence
OF the engrossed and enrolled copy.
This will compel the county Auditors
in this and other counties to go through
the form of an election next Oct ber.
The Democrats of Ohio have Domi-
mated highly respectable Cincinnati
grocer for Governor. His chief politi-
cal prominence heretofore has been as
Know-Nothing candidate for Mayor of
Cincinnati, and his chief title to Dem
Ocratic favor now is that he is rich,
and can contribute the sinews of war.
We have sometimes seen similar NOM
nations in New York; but it has occa-
sionally happened that after the rich
man had got the nomination, he was
quite ready to let other people bear the
expenses of the canvass. Ohio has not
been carried, of late years, by candi-
dates who could not open their mouths,
even if they were Over-prompt in open
ing their purses. 1t is State always
sharply fought from the hustings, and
the candidate who cannot follow the
example of Hayes and Allen, Noyes,
Pendleton, and the long list of able
popular debaters back to Chase and
Payne, who have made the State Cam
paigns brilliant and memorable, is, at
least, an experiment. The platform is
smart and dishonest. 1t yellS Fraud
blends gracefully the two popular
crazes of Greenbacks and Silver de-
nOunces the National Banks, end de-
mands the immediate and unconditiOn-
al repeal of the Resumption Act. But
its most discreditable feature is the
demagogue effort to make capital out
of the strikes. The Convention did
not dare openly to approve either the
strikes or the strikers. But it denOun'
ces the Republican Administration fol
"pauperizing labor" and squarely
charges that the arson, murder. gener-
al lawlessness, paralysis of trade and
transportation are all due to the in
Equities Of Republican laws.
1t is great blessing that all this
comes before the Republican Conven
ton. That body cannot follow in the
wake of the Democrats; ard now, as or
some notable occasion in the past, mus
be driven into better positions thar
some ofits members intend, by the ex
plicit uttefances of its opponents.
Altogether the Ohio Democrats have
done good deal towards holding Re
publicans up to sound finance and de
cent government, and assuring us {
canvass in Ohio Of which we shall no
need to be ashamed.-[N. Y. Tribune

Corporations Without a Heart.

1t would not be a pleasant task to re-
view the list of influences which led to
the great strike. Some of them-mOre
important than has been popularity I'M
agined-have had little notice; and
they lie so far back, or so deep down,
that they are not likely to be talked
about. That the railroad force of the
country has been very badly democrat
lied, is evident enough; but if we
should say that its decentralization has
come mainly through its rulers and en-
ployers, we should be met with pretty
universal credulity, if not with indig-
nant protest.
The example which directors and
managers have set to those in their en-
plOy has not been a good one. The
men who have done the hard work of
the railroads have looked on and seen
others get rich by illegitimate means.
They have seen whole boards of direc-
tors drop off gOrged from schemes that
have LETT the stock interests without a
drop of blood in their veins. They have
seen stock watered, tempered with,
robbed. They have seen railroads
which had absorbed the livings of fruits
full widows and orphans managed solely
for the private interests of their presi-
dents and directors. They have seen
roads built with bonds that we're lies,
and were known to be lies. They have
seen roads in ruinous competition with
each other, while they were compelled
by this competition to do their work at
small wages. They have been made to
work upon the Sabbath, and have been
practically shut away from all religious
instructions 10y those who, with sancti-
mOnious faces and conveniently Obtuse
consciences, have ''taken sweet counsel
together, and walked to the House of
God in company" The railroad cor
porations are very few that have mani
tested the slightest interest in their en-
ployes, beyond getting out Of them
what it was possible to get for the con
sideration agreed upon.-Dr. j. g. Hol-

Wood Fires.

We grant, as has recently been said,
that an open fire is "incOmpetent to
heat our houses - but we believe it can
be made such an important factor in
the culture of children, that we have no
hesitation in urging others to try it. In
houses that are wholly warmed bv fur
mace, the family circle is likely to be-
come impaired. The children take their
friends to their own rooms, and the
mother rarely becomes Intimately ac-
quainted with their associates. Around
the wood fire, all naturally come to-
gether what interests one, comes in a
little while to interest all, and the chill
dren learn to be open and free. The
fire warns the heart as well as the BODY.
A wood fire lit early in the evening
when the boys get used to coming in
from the cold and snow to find cheer
full hickory fire blazing on the parlor
hearth, with the room not too nicely
furnished for them to use, they will not
want to leave it for any outside attrac
tons. The moment the familiar wbis-
tie is heard in the evening, let some
kindling wood be thrust under the logs.
The pleasant sensation produced by
blazing fire, if repeated winter after
winter, amounts to a good deal oS hap
piness in boys lifetime, and will
never be forgotten. 1t is difficult to
overestimate the value of this central
gathering-place for the whole family.
Wood fires are not dusty, and when
used not for heat, but for cheer. and
only in the evening, are not COSTLY.
The moderate heat of a furnace or
stove is sufficient for the parlor by day.
and but little wood in the place is
necessary to make it comfortable at
night. Indeed, the register often has
to be turned off and the doors have to
be closed to keep the heat of the house
from rushing into the parlor. The wood
fire ventilates, and thus, not only are
the feet kept warm, but the head re-
mains cool. Half cord of hickory
wood lasts us about month, and we
use it on Sundays after church, and on
other days if we have friends to dinner.
or the children are to be at home. In
