The Need Of Unity.

It is gratifying circumstance
that the Democratic party in Fair
field is being SO thoroughly organ
lied thus early in tho campaign.
The zeal displayed now is pro-
pitious omen for complete success
in November. Still it must be re-,
mcmbcrea that the battle is not yet
won, and however bright the pros
poets are now, good deal is ncccs-
sary for final success. It must be
remembered that tho Democracy in
1876 won against fearful odds only
through the most determined action
and the complctcst harmony Tho
slightest dissension between any
elements in tho party would have
seriously hazardcd tho .rcsult.
Any stumbling by the waysile
would havo boon fatal. This year
we have IN immense advantage
III tho prestige Of former victory ;
but at the samo time certain de-
moralizing forces arc at work that
were not then in existence. Tho
task of choosing candidates is much
moro complicated and difficult, a
hundrod diverse interests being at
work. The people must resolve on
two things: first to select tho best
men to represent them, and second
ly to support the nominees of the
party strenuously whether they DO
the choice of tho individual or not.
This is not time to lot prciu-
dice bias any good Democrat.
Nor is it q time to alienato any
man or set of mon, No loophole

must be left for an independents
ticket. No possible excuse mus
be given f.: the charge of Unfair
ness or tcsertion of Fundamental
Democratic principles. We would
greatly deplore any rivalry or jeal-
ousy between sections or classes.
The people Of Fairfield must bo q
unit. Every vote must be cast
with on eye single to the
good Of tho whole. In this
way Democratic rule can be per-
petuatcd. Any other course
will lead to countless enbarrass
mcnt. Never more than now has
the saying been true, Omitted we

PARADISE AMONG TIN PAGANs.-
Japan seems to be country where
men never lose their temper, where
women and children arc always
treated with gentleness, where com-
mon laborers bow and beg pardon
of each other if they happen to
jostle accidentally, where popular
sports do not inilict suffering upon
the lower animals, where a paper
screen is sufficient protection
against all intrusion, even that of
burglars, and where cleanliness
takes such a high rank among
social virtues as to be carried
almost to ludicrous excess. Japan
ESQ manners are certainly very
different from our own; but the
Japanese are a thoroughly well~bred
people. "Manners are not idle )"
urbanity, gentleness, and considera-
ton for others, are not mere
superficial qualities; when such
national characteristics are found
combined with courage, energy and
intellect, they may surely be
accepted as evidence of an advanced
civilization. Foreigners, after liv-
ing in the interior of japan for a
considerable time, on returning
into "into "civilized society,"" have
even stated that the manners of
their own countrymen appear to
them vulgar and almost brutal,
accustomed as they have become to
a courtesy singularly free from
servile or mercenary considerations,

An Admonition,

Eds, Telegraph:SPermit one who has for
many years been one of your stauneh
friendsIo make some suggestions in re-
gard to your bright, beautiful little city.
Have your people not fallen into deep
sleep? Do you imagine that because you
have one of the finest systems of railroads
and lake communication i'll the country
that you are made up? If so you are mis-
taken.
Railroads. have done all for you they
can, and more than you had any right to
expect. In addition the Pittsburgh &
Lake Erie Railroad is to be done within q
year, direct from Baltimore, and through
the great Pittsburgh coal fields. offering
to pour into your lap the great wealth
which it will carry to Lake Erie. Are you
ready to receive it? Have you q foot of
of private docks, or a coal firm ready to
AXE, handle and sell its coke and coal.
Answer. Not one. $1,000, judiciously
expended in private docks, would pay you
back an hundred fold.
You are the nearest port on Lake Erie
to tide water. Have you a single eleva-
tor to receive and ship the great wheat
and grain product of our vast Northwest.
to Pittsburgh and Baltimore? Not one.
While Erie and Cleveland have perhaps
dozen. You are within go miles of Port
Stanley, Canada; but little over half the
distance from any other port on the lakes.
Have you steamer to make the round
trip in day, to secure the trade of that
great country? Have you coal fleet to
supply her great system of railroads, or
will you still send them to Cleveland, Erie
and Buffalo?
Even your harbor and draw bridge are
disgrace to your city. The Court House
miles back in the country.
The railroad companies have done all
thus far for you in the Harbor, now is your
time to wake up if you wish to improve the
most beautiful harbor on Lake Erie, sec
ond in business in the State. out Of debt
and all that, but fast asleep. Wake up or
Cleveland will capture you. PROGRESS.

AUsTINBURG,

Eds. Tel:-Ths gentleman so scurril-
ously alluded to in the NelCS in its last two
numbers by its Austinburg correspondent,
Is one of our most esteemed, honored, and
patriotic citizens and one of the most ready
to lend his assistance in every good and
and worthy cause for the interest and we'll
fare of the community. He is not one OF
the pillar sof the church" as asserted,
and belongs to no church, and as for the
"lottery watch" matter, he never spent a
dollar for any such purpose. The falsity
of those things laid at his door by this
writer 'SaSsacus"-are felt to be base
and slanderous, and tho feeling Of indig-
nation is very general that any paper pre-
tending to any amount Of responsibility or
even decency should give currency to
these things without knowing something
Of the facts of the matter. IL the Nel0S can
not fill its columns with something better
and much more truthful, than the ordinary
products Of this writer, it would be far
better to add patent outside also 10 that
large patent inside county paper. II this
would-be-lawyer and temperance lecturer
would devote the time spent on his cuffs
and collars, to securing patent inside to
his little, silly, concsitSd head, he might
possibly get up an occasional letter con-
tanning enough originality and common
sense to make it readable, The few peo-
pl. that read the Neass here, think that if
the writer would change the authography

Eds. Tel:-The lecture, oyster supper,
etc. furnished by the Webster Post, G. A.
R. as you stated last week was success,
and proved to be one of the most interest
ing affairs We have been permitted to at
tend. Rev. S. L. Binckley had been en-
gagged to deliver lecture at Academy Hall
-subiect-Geo. Washington. The seats
in the lecture room were all occupied.
Comrade NJ. W. Wright was in charge.
A quartette consisting Of Messrs. Luce,
Howard, Brown and Grover opened with
ga thousand years my own Columbia, y
which was followed with prayer by Rev.
Mr.. Williams. Another piece by the same
performers, prepared the way for the lee
ture. The remark when it was concluded,
was, that our knowledge of Washing
ton was very limited. Nothing could be
better calculated to inspire the young man,
and mould his character for true man
hood. 1t would be well, if all the Posts Of
the county could listen to it. The exer-
cises at Academy hall closed with the ''star
spangled banner"
The suppefWas served at the Town Hall,
where the crowd gathered for the enjoy
ment of it-so admirably prepared
under the culinary attainments of Mrs; G..
W. Rhen. After the last table had been
served, Commander c. W. Kinnear
gave notice that the Pumpkin Pie Fair
would now begin operations. Notice by
circular was gwen, that as many as saw fit
to enter a prize contest, might send in
their pies. A committee was to be ap-
pointed to test the merits Of the regular
gradation of 1st, I'd and Sd best, with pri-
zes accordingly-$2 for the first, a copy Of
Whittier's poems for the second, and 80
cents for the third. Some 25 or 80 genuine
New England pies were brought in and
submitted. A committee of five was Sc
lected, and prepared for the onset. The
Rev. Binckly moved the choice Of com
mitted of three to watch the committee Of
five to see that the pies were not all con-
sumed, and Esq. Wright named the three
Pastors, both of which motions we're car
ried, and an escort was deputed to con-
duct the committee to the place Of service,
in the midst of roars of laughter. Much
humor and froIicsome repartee accompan-
led the decisions of the judges. After
which the pies were disposed of at auction.
The first premium was awarded to Mrs.
VIM. Carr-second to Mrs. E. NJ. Curtis
the third to Mrs Woodbury.. The re-
ceipts were generous, and the enjoyment in
the fullest measure.
The funeral of Alzono Marshall, of Kel-
loggsvills was attended by the masons of
KingsYille and Conneaut lodges, as it was
the wish of the deceased that the order
should preside at his funeral The atten-
dance of citizens generally was also large.
The exercises were at the Presbyterian
church, and the discourse was by Rev.
NJ. Shipman of Girard, Pa. G.

There is some little activity at the Har
Dor. The moving of the old salt house of
Hubbard & Co. at the end Of the bridge,
to give the proper width to the road, the
rebuilding of the old burnt out Humphrey

the schooner VIM. Young, together with
the ubiquitous attribute of the good man
at the wheel, the landlord of the Ocean
Dining Saloon-all combine two keep an
antagonism with the usual winter Stagna-
lion. Ed. Fisk and his first officer Cul.
Towne are filling up the intervals of bust
ness by trying their hands at marine
architecture, having pleasure boat of very
graceful lines well under way in their
store room, which will be ready, no doubt,
for spring launching. Paul has been
spending some days at Cleveland by way,
we suppose of disposing of the wintry luli
in trade. The winter, however, is gliding
away and the preparation for summer ac-
tivitiss will soon be heard, and hope and
expectation will bring their full fruition.

cheap or cheaper, than elsewhere. 1t
seems from the reading of some of the
city advertisements, that your city mer-

do, and can buy them cheaper at home than
