differently by saying; That people

ment, whether it appear in the garb of
New England Puritanism or in the dis
guise of International Communism
That the Volksblatt, on the other
hand, will decidedly advocate and supN
port all just demands of the laboring
classes land who does not belong to
the latter) and will ever strive to in
vestigate the true causes of all their real
complaints it has given earnest of by
its long and unceaslng opposition to the
taxation of the many for the benefit of
the favored few, as practiced under our
present protective tariff.
AS to my position with reference to
the coming Gubernatorial election,
should have been glad to support that
party which would have come nearest
to the views above expressed. But as
the platforms Of the two great parties in
Ohio are either Numerically opposed 10
these principles or entirely Indifferent to
them | do not see why | should worry
as to whether, during the next two
years, Mr.. Bishop or Mr.. West will sign
the commissions of Notaries and Justi
ces of the Peace and pardon this or that
poor devil or rogue out of the Peniten-
tary. The Office of Governor of Ohio is
of no further significance and the roN
tation of the earth around its axis will
neither be accelerated by the election of
MIR, West, nor will it be retarded by the
election of Mr.. Bishop. The tendencies
of both political parties in Ohio are such
at present that microscopical investiga-
ton as TO which should be considered
the lesser evil, would not be worth the
trouble.
In conclusion but one other word.
am somewhat proud OF never having
called a man robber or murderer for
differing with me on the tariff or on the
currency question. | believe that the
largest possible diversity of opinion on
every imaginable question is entirely
compatible with mutual good will and
courtesy, and that such difference cre>
ates no necessity for personal il>feeling
or vituperation. | shall ever adhere to
this belief and endeavor to act accord.
ingly. 1t shall not be my fault if per-
sonal dissonances should be heard in the
press. | fully reciprocate the good will
which my Cincinnati contemporaries
have shown to me, with such amiability,
on the occasion of my departure for Eu-
rope.
And now request our readers to par>
don the length Of the salutatory, and to
preserve for me their old feelings of kind.

THE La TEST SWLNDLE.


The old story of people who never read
newspapers getting swindled by some
new impostor repeats itself in this city
about every six weeks, and so easily are
some taken in by these travelling swim
dlerS that it really seems strange that
they know enough to get the money
they lose. The latest piece Of this sort
of swindling was reported at police head
quarters on Monday afternoon.
George H. little, an old man'whom
sickness has made almost helpless, as
far as self-support is concerned, came in
and reported that during the forenoon
he had been called upon at his residence,
No. "a Irwin street, by two young men
who claimed to be in distress, and as
having just come from the old country.
They said that their goods were yet in
the custom house in New York, that they
had lot of silk shipped to Cleveland
out of which they had here been swim
died, and they were now in need of
money to get their goods and 60 on to
New Orleans, where they had friends
Each one had a gold watch given him
by his parent when leaving home-one
of the men wept bitterly at the mention
and these they would be compelled to
part with. They were worth not less
than $500, but they would take less-in
fact nything that might be given.
The old man had considerable money
saved up for the future, but the chance
of making something by relieving the
young men and buying their watches
overcame him, and he went to the bot
tom of his purse and gave them all he
had, $3.50.
The watches are worth about S2.75
each.-Cleveland Herald, 2Ist.

40 POSSIBLE GROUNDS FOR wARLIKE PREPARA-
TIONS.
CHICAGO, December IL Official The
mob at San Elizario consists OF about three
hundred citizens OF Ell Paso county, Texas.
No MeXicans have crossed the river to take
part in the trouble. The Mexican authori-
ties have gwen positive orders that no citi-
zens should cross. About three hundred
troops have been ordered from posts in
New Mexico to the scene OF the disturb
ances to aid the civil officers Of Ell Paso
county. This withdrawal OF troops left the
Indian frontier exposed. The statement
that an unusual quantity Of supplies are
being sent to Texas from St. Louis is lncor-
rect, only ordinary supplies being sent, and
for no greater number Of men than is now
serving in that department and assigned to
it. All officers OF the army in position to
know anything about the existing troubles
IN Texas, or the views OF either Govern
mcnt, are satisfied there is no possible
ground for warlike preparations.
