The Republican leaders are anxious
for large standing army. European ty'
rants know the importance of large ar
mics. Louis Napoleon used the army to
overthrow the Republic Of France and
keep himself in Imperial power. In this
country the People can and will main
tain the laws against all lawlessness. The
good and honest in every community
always outnumber largely the evil dis
posed and when wrong-doers endanger
the peace and safety of society, good
people will soon rally and restore order.
When bad men combine, good men must
and will associate. 1t is this that troub-
les the Republican leaders, and causes
them to tremble. Their corrupt rule
and extravagant expenditures have caus-
ed good men to associate and vote them
out of power. They have retained pow.
er by fraud and lawlessness, and now
clamor for large standing army. They
cannot be accommodated to the extent
they want By the help of few votes
from Texas and the South, they did sue
ceed in making the army $4,000 instead
of 10000. Another year will probably
change this.

Or all the resolutions read by Senator
Wallace in the Democratic State conven'
ton, none called forth greater en'husi
asm than the following;
Thorough investigation into the EIec,
toral frauds of 1875 should be made; fraud
should be exposed, truth .vindicated and
criminals punished"
1t was rather chilled by the conclusion
1t reads: eve oppose any attack upon
the Presidential title as dangerous to oul
institutions and fruitless in its results.
How criminals are to be punished by al
lowing them to remain in high places
and controlling the political affairs oi
the country, was not transparent to the
common mind, and did not receive a
single cheer; but it is correct, neverthe'
less, and will be maintained.-PtttS. Post
We listened to Senator Wallace read
ing the resolutions, and the first install
ment of the above was well received
but the last clause chilled the impulse

In the ffty.six years that haye elapsed

is the sort of thing the Democrats want

THE case of the Akron Gas company
against the city of Akron has been deci,
ded in favor of the gas company, sustain
ing their contract. The Court concludes
as follows:
We therefore hold, as a result of those
considerations, that the proceedings of
the City Council. in passing the ordi-
nance of Nov. 1872, fixing the price of
gas for the period of ten years, the acCep-
tanCe of that ordinance by the gas CON
pany, and the acts of the parties since
then, limit the power of the City Council
and that it is prohibited from reducing
the price of gas for the period of ten
years from that time below $3.50, and
we grant perpetual injunction against
the city, enjoining it from enforcing the
ordinance of Jan. 8 1878, wherein it at
tempts to reduce the price of gas to $l.25
to the city, and $l,50 to the citizens.

JOHN G. THOMPSON ESQ, has been fol
years the efficient chairman of the Dem
ocratic State Committee of Ohio, and we
bear cheerful testimony to his noble and
indomitable work in managing cam
paign and organizing victory. We say
let Mr.. Thompson be continued in the
position. Arduous work will be neces'
sary this fall, and Congress will soon ad'
iourn, so that Mr.. Thompson will be re-
lieved from his duties as Sergeant.at
Arms of the House, and be able to or.
ganize Democratic victory in Ohio. Let

SENATOR THURMAN presented petition
last Friday, from naturalized citizens Of
Rhode Island, asking for the adoption Of
an amendment to the Federal Constitu"
ton which would make any disCrimina-
ton against foreign.born citizens in re-
gard to the franchise impossible. In
Rhode Island no foreign-born citizen
can vote unless he owns real estate,
while native-born citizens, not owning,
real estate, may vote upon registering
their names and paying poll tax of ST..
TIE property qualification is unjust and
un.AmeriCan, but convenient for real es-
tate owners; for, once mans name is
on record as holding real estate of the
requisite value, he need neither register
nor pay poll.tax, but year after year
has simply to walk up and vote. The
discrimination belongs to an age gone by /,
and should be abolished.

HAYEs's Postmaster General Key is
out in an open letter ito the people of
the South" on the Potter investigation.
It must take cheek in this "sCurvy poll
tician" to come out publicly and accuse
the Democracy with wish to Mexican
ize our institutions" because, forsooth,
they want to investigate the frauds in
Florida and Louisiana, that prevented
the choice of the people from being Pres
ident, and made President the man who
was defeated. This man, too, said he vo-
ted for Tilden, and believed he was elec-
ted. Hayes gave him office, and thus
converted him. He fears that investiga-
ton may oust his master and himself,
The mess of pottage seems to have been
powerful with this Confederate General.

JOHN sHERMAN,s BLUsTER.

The letter of Mr.. John Sherman, Sec.
retary, ETC., to Mr.. Potter, Chairman of
the Investigating Committee, is not an
evidence Of profound wisdom or ripeness
ofiudgment. To characterize the letter
briefly, it is bit of mild bluster. If
Weber and Anderson produced the SUI
formation by which the East Feliciana
returns were Cooked the same witness
will not be competent in the case when
it comes before the Investigating Com.
mittee. A man is not competent to tes-
tify in his own behalf when being tried
on charge of perjury. Yet that is what
Mr.. Sherman proposes in his letter to
Mr.. Potter. The allegation is made that
certain testimony is false: Mr.. Sher-
man, without meeting the main issue,
proposes to prove negative. His letter
to Mr.. Potter will not add to his reputa-
ton as lawyer or fortify him in a de-
fense before the committee.-&. Louis

A DEMOCRATIC exchange, in speaking
of what the last Ohio Legislature did for
the workingmen, says:
Laws have been passed preventing the
attachment of wages to the sum of $3.50;
preventing the sale of claims against
workingmen to parties in other States,
where the parties reside in Ohio, and
earned their wages here; also compelling
assignees Of bankruptcy to pay the wages
of labor as a prior lien upon the estate;
also preventing the payment of wages
by mere checks upon some store, pur-
chasing such checks at disCount-and
so on. Where a law could aid the labor
ing man, it was passed; and yet COM
plant is made that nothing has been
done for them. All has been done that
could be done, the Legislature going to
the very verge of sound principles OF
legislation in their favor.

ANOTHER victory was gained Monday
by the Democratic members of the
House, in considering the Army Appro-
priation bill. An amendment, offered
in Committee of the Whole by Mr.. Knott
that the army should not be employed
to control the elections in any State, was
agreed to by very small majority after
long discussion. The Republicans
fought desperately to kill the amend
ment, but without avail, and the amend
ment is to prevent the President from
using the army without law. The House
also decided to fix the army at 10000
men, which provoked another long dis.
Cussion, when a motion to reconsider
was made and lost.

STARVATION IN LABRADOR.

A Labrador correspondent of the Jour.
nal de Quebec gives a heartrending ac-
count of the condition of the people on
the Labrador coast. The fisheries failed
them last year, and the traders who gave
them provisions IN barter for their fish
and oil abandoned the territory, not car
ing to let the wretched people have goods
on credit. Thus, before winter set in,
the whole population was left to starve
or subsist until summer on fish offal, for
crops are impossible ON that sterileshore
Whole families have lived through the
winter on rotten, half.frozen Carcasses of
seals driven ashore by the ice-hOes. 9th
ers have kept body and soul together by
devouring the nauseous flesh of the black
loupmarin, species of seal which in bet
ter times would be Stunned even by the
dogs. Many deaths have occurred from
sheer starvation. Of five families con-
tanning forty souls, in one settlement,
only five survive. Scurvy is epidemic.
The women haunt the shore like spec
ters, picking up the dead seal, while the
men and boys gather sea-moss or shell-
fish. The correspondent, French mis-
sionary, says; 81 know several families
who have eaten not only the salted seal
flesh put away for their dogs, but
even the dogs themselves. Those who
happened to haye stock of provisions
have been obliged to 60 ON short rations
and share with their gaunt neighbors.
The people have been cut off from the
outside world since September. When
they found death staring them in the
face it was too late to make their wants
known. for navigation had closed, and
they we're 200 leagues distant from Que
bee, without any means of overland
communication in winter. The Lieut.
Governor Of Quebec, in answer to this
appeal, has ordered quantity of proVis-
ions to be sent to the coast, and CLOTH
ing, medicine, &C., will follow immedi-
ately.

THE Philadelphia Times, commenting
upon the financial condition Of the city,
says
An annual deficiency caused no alarm,
as, a la Micawber, the obligation could
be met with another, the other having
the peculiar merit of being sight-draft
on posterity. Improvident legislators,
seemingly imbued with the belief that
their good works are for posterity, have
way OF shifting responsibility to sue
Ceeding generations. The
stockholders of the corporation, or what
is the same thing, the taxpayers, have
each year contributed enough money to
run the machine and meet the annual
interest, but the funds have been 80 mis-
applied, that it has been found necessary
to incur annually new loan of nearly
three quarters of a million of dollars,
When considering the growth of the
debt through annual deficiencies, large
holder Of city real estate recently said:
ut has been thought that the highway
robber is an unknown factor in modern
society. This is mistake. He appears
now in disguise. In medieval times he
was armed with the pistol and bludgeon,
but the modern highwayman comes to
you with a simple tax receipt"
1t seems the city debt of Philadelphia
is $73.615351, all contracted within the
last twenty years. The valuation of the
city property is $54S 243525, and the
amount Of tax assessed each year is S.
225. .249. The debt is IS 4-l0 per cent of
the entire assessed valuation Of the city.
According to this the debt is over one
eighth of the value of the property. 1t
would seem by this that Philadelphia is
worse involved than New York city,

WHY doesn't business revive? is a
question often asked. Why should it
revive when the Democrats are plotting
revolution, and the communists are
threatening to make forced division Of

Yes, why should itrevive when Hayes

step looking to reform and greater econo-

LORD JOHN RUSSELL died on Tuesday
night at London, England. He was the
third son of the sixth Duke of Bedford,
and was born in London August IS, 1892.
He was first placed at a private school at
Sunbury, and afterwards at Westminster.
In 1908, when only sixteen years of age,
he travelled in Spain with Lord and Lady
Holland. In 1918 he was elected to Par
lament as Whig for the family borough
of Tavistock. In 1916, on the breaking
up of the Tory party, he became Prime
Minister, holding the Office of First Lord
of the Treasury. In 1866, after Lord Pal
merston's death, he became for a second,
time Prime Minister, with Mr.. Gladstone
as Chancellor of the Exchequer, but diff
ferences arose between the leaders of the
Liberal party, on the subject of reform.
and the ministry resigned June, 1865.
Since then Earl Russell has been an un-
official supporter of Liberal measures.
Lord John Russell won some fame as
an author.
