come iitigants in the United States Court.
If the public, the litigants and this Court,
and the Federal Executive, and the bar,
are deaf and dumb and blind, the efforts of
the Enquirer will have been partly in vain.
The Gazette says in answer to an official
letter sent to its editor by w. H. +, ster
Secretary Trades and Labor Assembly: We
have never had difficulty wi h composit-
ors about prices, though we have had as
many as three strikes because we let out
side rats run our printing house. One was
strike of Union printers because we took
an apprentice. Another was because We
rejected demand to discharge the FORE
man. The last was because we gave a
regular printer, with family and in i'm
mediate need, case, whereas the
Union demanded that he should
first be formally admitted-a process
which would take time. We struck that
time, and that terminated our relations to
the Union. But the question of price did
not enter in, and while We have not recog-
nized Union prices ours have been as much
in degree, and as much of the time, higher
than the Union rate as lower. We remark
to W. II. Foster and ssociates-whatever
they may be-that this official notification
is to US the reverse of evidence that they
have any surplus capacity over and above
enough to attend to their own business, to
devote to the concerns of the Gazette COM
postors or proprietors. Therefore would
we advise them to stick to the trowel or
hod, and reap that reward which is open to
every one who attends strictly to his own

ure of an engineers services, therefore, is
not always to be found in the expenses of
his office. Rather it must be looked for in
the character of the work performed. A
good deal has been said about the expenses
of Col. Anderson's office. but we have not
heard him charged with bad engineering
or collusion with contractors. Mr..
Thurman, whose subjection to the doctrine
of State sovereignty extinguished his
patriotism, should be arraigned, on his
champion act, by Justice Field, with the
charge of ,nonstrous trespass on State
Rights, and of having made great stride
toward centralized and consolidated ma
tional government, seems great pnliticai
joke. But in reality there is no affair OF
State Sovereignty and State Rights involved,
nor is there any violation of contract OH
the part of the United States. In the case
Of the Union Pacific Company the grant Of
the charter and of ri hit of way, land aid
and loan aid, is made with the condition
that the United States may alter or amend
the charter. This is the contract.

The Enquirer can not let loose of its rag
baby.
Secretary Sherman sensibly held as much
silver as possible in the Treasury, and is
trying to circulate gold in its stead.
Should the Democrats be defeated next
November in New York, they need not put
up candidate for the Presidency.

General Grant who as is known, will
visit indianapolis, has also been invited by
the Grand Army of the Republic here to
visit our beautiful city. 1t is anticipated
that the General will accept the invitation
and honor Cincinnati with visit.

Why does the Volksblatt ask for ship
ments OF coal by our Southern Road before
it is completed to the coal regions. We
think the demand isa childish one.
