Golden Words.

The Democratic Governor of New
York is no Communist. In his proc
lamation to the rioters, he speaks
these patriotic words, and they
should have weight with every true
American citizen
The law recognizes and protects
the right Of all men to refuse to
work except upon terms satisfactory
to themselves, but it does not per
nit them to prevent other men from
working who desire to do so. Unless
the State is to be given up to anarchy,
and its Courts and laws are to be
defed with impunity, its whole pow
rer must be ezerted to suppress
violence, maintain order and protect
its citizens in their right to work,
and the business Of the country from
-lawless interruption within Cur botdl
ers. It is no longer a question Of
wages, but of the supremacy Of the
law, which protects alike the lives,
the liberty, the property and the
rights of all classes of citizens. To
the maintenance Of that supremacy
the whole power of the State will be
invoked if necessary.

FincastIe.

On our way to Sardinia last week,
we made a brief stop in this pleas
ant little village, situated in Brown
county, about 2 miles south of the
Highland county line, and about II
miles south of Hillsboro. 1t is a
small, quiet, rather old looking place,
of perhaps $50 inhabitants, with two
stores, a carriage shop, tavern, &c.
There is a good, productive country
around it, and we learned from DR..
Carey, one of the oldest citizens, that
before the war there was considerable
trade and business in the village.
DR.. Carey now keeps the principal
store, and is pleasant and well-in-
formed gentleman, as we'll as a good
Republican. The post-ofice is kept
by Mr.. Bell, also a staunch Repubi
can, though not an ardent admirer
of the Presidents Southern policy.
The new Cincinnati and Eastern
Railway runs about 2 miles south Of
FincastIe, and there is a station call
ed South Fincastle, where the peo-
pie can now take the cars for Cincin-
natl and ship their produce to that
market. The village also receives a
daily mail by railroad, and the peo
pie already begin to feel as if they
had a more prosperous future be-
fore them, since they have secured a
railroad connection with the outside
world. No doubt the road will IA
pidly develope and improve the
whole region adjacent, and Fincastle
will share in the growth and pros
perity of the country around it.

Liberia and the South.

b
A strong movement seems to have
commenced among the colored peo-
Die Of the South, in favor Of emigra-
bon to Liberia. We clip the follow
ing item from an exchange:
The colored people of Charleston,
South Carolina, to the number Of
1000, held meeting last Thursday
to promote migration of the cOlOred
people from the United States to Lii
IBERIA The speakers argued that
there was not room in this country
for both the white and the colored
populations, and that in the South
the colored people must continue to
hold an inferior position A joint
stock company, with a capital Of
100000, was started for the pur-
chase Of steamers and to be used in
.pFoaing the proposed emigration
1t would not be very strange, II
this movement were to spread
throughout the South, and lead to a
very large emigration Of the colored
people to Liberia, where they can
live under a government Of their
own, and in the full enjoyment Of
equal rights, 'with none to molest
or make them afraid" Should the
emigration assume large proportions,
it would cause a serious deficiency OF
laborers in the South.

True as Gospel.

Every real workingman will en-
dorse the following, from the Ham
ilton Telegraph;
The platform of the Ohio work
ingmen's party IS too narrow and
contracted for a true worHngman to
stand on. Take the labor plank, de-
manding that eight hours constitute
a DAVIS work. The farmer has the
right, If any man has, to be called a
workingman. OF the 65O,OOO voters
in Ohio, at least 25O,OOO are farmers;
and yet not one of these farmers can
endorse this plank. If carried out
by the farmers, it would place q
mortgage on every farm in Ohio
within a year, and make business for
the sheriff of every county in the
State. Clearly the farmer can't stand
on the eight-hour plank. The man
who labors with his brains must Ia
Dor more than eight hours in the
dav if he would thrive. Mr.. Hal
stead, of the Commercial, goes to his
Office at 2 o'clock in the afternoon of
each day and remains until the pa
per goes to press at 3 O'clock in the
morning-working from u to 13
hours every day. Thos. Millilin is
as much Of a workingman in his
way, as Billy Booth is IN his; yet If
Thos. Millikin and Billy Booth had
restricted their daily toll to eight
hodrs the day, the one would not
have madeft1e lawyer he now IS
and the fother would not have
been the workman he now is
It may be asserted as an axiom
that the man who is content to labor
but eight hours a day never expects
or even wants to better his condition
in life; and the workingmen, in de-
mandiug a reduction of the hours Of
labor, have closed the doors against
the admission of the vast majority
of workingmen, in every avocatiOn,
who are ambitious to advance in life,
and who know that advancement can
only be gained by long, continuous
and hard labor. The workingmen' s
party has arrayed the wOrhngmen
against it.

No portion Of the continent Of America
presents so much Of grandeur, beauty and
marvellous interest to the Tourist as the
famous Rocky Mountain region Of East
ern Colorado, in The vicinity Of the beauti-
full CITY Of Denver. The magnifcence Of
the mountain scenery is equalcd cn,y by
that Of Switzerland, and many Tourists
from abroad have pronounced Colorado
scenery superior even to that Of the Alps.
The popular resorts in the mountains,
famed alike for their grand surroundings
and their magical waters, are daily becom-
inc recognized as the most delightful IN
America for either health or recreation.
Hundreds of people, tired Of the resorts OF
the East, are going to spend the summer
in the grand Old Rocky Mountains amid ITS
charming parks, majestic snow-clad peaks,
Grand canons, clear sky and magic Amos

The Isaua.

The question resolves itself now
into whether a man who desires to
work shall be allowed to do so. The
railroad companies say that they
have an abundance Of men offering
their services, and there would be no
difficulty in running trains were it
not for the intimidation of the strik-
ers. It must be obvious to every
ones mind that if there is q single
man in this country desirous Of pur-
suing some honest livelihood for the
purpose of supporting himself and
family, he has the right to call upon
the entire force Of the State, if nee
essary, to protect him IN go doing.
This is self-evident. The right to
do so lies at the foundation Of all
society, and any State is unworthy
of the name which refuses to so pro-
tect its citizens IN the commOnest
rights Of man. It forfeits its right to
the allegiance of its subjects, and
has no claim to the name of q gov
erDment. If we permit one man to
be prevented from following q legiti-
mate vocation where viii the thing
stop If we allow this great prin-
ciple to be infringed upon there are
no bounds to be set anywhere.
The question of the wrongs suffer
ed by the railroad employees is not
an element in the discussion. Tt is
whether men are being prevented
from earning money to support
their families. If one such can make
such claim justly, he is entitled to
have the entire strength Of the com
munity exerted to right his wrongs.

Mr.. Bishop Declines to
Bleed.


It is noticeable that the Enquirer
and the Democratic papers general
ly are not in a high state of happi-
ness in regard to their candidate for
Governor, and it is shrewdly sur
missed that the reason of their luke
warmness is to be found in the
facts set forth below by the CORE
spondent of the Enquirer, in a re,
cent letter from Putin Bay. 1t
seems there was a meeting Of the
Democratic State Committee and
candidates at that place, to make ar
rangements for the campaign. The
Enquirer man says:
'It is understood to night that
there is a hitch. or misunderstanding
between Hon. R. NJ. Bishop and the
most prominent members of the
State Central Committee on the sub
iect of Mr.. Bishops assessment for
campaign purposes. Mr.. Bishops
idea is that any money contributed
should be applied solely to and for
the purpose of carrying Hamilton
county, which he considers the cen
tral point in the contest.
"The Committeeman indicated
claim that Mr.. Bishops nomination
agaS made atp0n the assurance that
he aoould contribute an ample sum
for the campaign purposes, and look
after Hamilton county besides. II
Mr.. Bishop fails to meet the views
of the committee tomorrow, there
is a possibility Of serious trouble
ensuing"
It seems then that Mr.. Bishops
scealh was the great inducement
which secured him the nomination.
He was expected "to look after
Hamilton county" and the State be-
sides. Now if the Democrats expect
to carry Hamilton county as they
did last fall, by the use Of money to
pay "repeaters" for voting the Dem
ocratic ticket "early and often,
after the manner of Mr.. Eph
Holland and his gang-we say if
that is to be the style of campaign,
it will be expensive-especially as
the Republicans intend to make il
legal voting dangerous, by enforcing
the Registry law this fall. No
wonder Mr.. Bishop declines to
shoulder the campaign expenses in
the remainder of the State, and
Hamilton county besides. The Com
mittee certainly ought to be satisfied
if he "looks after" Hamilton county
alone, and if he does that we are in
clined to think he will have all he can
attend to.

Sardinia.

Last week, in company with our
townsman, Capt. Sam. Amen, we
rode down to Sardinia, Brown coun-
ty, for the first time in 20 years. It
is a very neat and thrifty-looking vii
Iage, surrounded by a fine country,
and since the completion of the Gin
& Eastern Railway, is beginning to
show signs of future growth and
prosperity. We arrived just in time
to see the morning train coming in
| from Cincinnati, little before noon,
and had our first view of train Of
narrow gauge engine and cars in NO
ton. We could really see very little
difference in their appearance from
those Of a stapblrd gauge road. The
passenger cars are handsome and
we'll finished, and will seat about so
persons comfortably, the seats being
only a few inches narrower than
those of the ordinary cars. The
track is we'll laid, but not yet bal
lasted, and trains do not make as
fast time as they will when the road
is in complete order, There is 8
neat depot and telegraph office, and
the citizens say the town seems like a
new place since the road was finished.
The old, quiet, sleepy country village
is waking up to a new existence, and
the people feel a new life stirring in
their veins. New houses are going
up, old ones are being painted and
improved, and everybody seems to
be getting ready for the "good time
coming" which all feel is sure to
come with the advent Of the locomO
tive-the great modern civilizer
The Cincinnati daily papers are now
received at noon of the day of pub
lication, instead of the day after, and
everything seems to have taken a
corresponding step in advance. Not
only does this seem to be So
it is so in reality. Business is grow
ing rapidly, in proof of which Mr..
Feike, one of the directors of the
railroad, and one of the leading citi-
zens of the town, told us that pro
duce had been shipped the day be-
fore from Sardinia station, on which
the freight amounted to S72-a big
item for a village of 200 inhabitants,
to which the railroad has been open
only a few weeks.
As we wished to attend the rail
road meeting in the afternoon at
Taylorsville, we had but a few min
utes to stay in the village after din
ner, and regretted that we had no
opportunity to see more Of the citi-
zens. We however formed the ac-
quaintance of Mr.. Diehl, the mer-
chant, Mr.. A. H. Glenn, who has
very neat little drug store, and is a
cOusin of our t0Wnsmap, Col. Glenn,
and Mr. Kennedy, who keeps the
Woodward House, q neat and com
Portable new hotel, where we had
an excellent dinner.
We started for Taylorsville about
half past o'clock, in company with
Mr.. Feike and DR.. Mclean, much
pleased with our brief visit to Sar-
dinia, and hoping hereafter to be-
come better acquainted with the vii
lage and its citizens.

Burlington Hawkeye: E. n. Fresh
man & Bros. These gentlemen, by
their uniform efficiency, faithfulness,
correctness, and probity as advertis-
tising agents in Cincinnati, have
commended themselves to the press
with whom they have had business
for many years. What We particu-
larly commend now, as we have had
occasion to do, is their thorough at
tention to their work for the adver-
tisers who employ them. No fault
of the publisher escapes their vigi-
liant supervision. An error Of typo
graphy, of omission or of position
never escapes them. They can and
do attend more faithfully to the bust
ness of their patrons than the adver-
tiser himself can. At the same time
they are wholly responsible, wholly
reliable, wholly trustworthy as the
agents of the press, and therefore we
say again, we have found our rela-
tons with them throughout an e1-
tended experience to be exceptional
ly pleasant and satisfactory. We
can not too highly recommend them
to the advertisers of the country on
the one hand, or to the press of the
country on the other hand. They
are entirely reliable in every sense of
the term, and always will be.
