The Turf, Field and Farm" has begun
its 30th volume. Il was established at
time when the literature of sport was at
discount in America. 1t at once made war
upou the prize RUG and other debasing
pastimes, and thus commended itself to the
favor of gentlemeh. II employed first-rate
talent and presented legitimate sport in
way which won for it patrous among the
wealthy and tt refined. 1t has done
much to elevate the literature of sport, and
has paved the way 70, whole cloud of i'm
itators The numerous other sporting
journals now in existence would never have
been started had it not been for the puri-
flying work of the Turf, Field and Farm.
The pioneer journal has always been pa
per of earnest convictions, and it has fought
many stubborn battles tor the right, not one
If which it has lost. 1t is fea-l les, as we'll
as able in the discussion of every subject
which comes within its line Articles from
practical breeders, and dissertations on the
turf, boating athletics, the stage, the rife,
dogs, &C., from a weekly feast which is
worth double the price of the paper. AS
an exponent and defender Of legitimate
sport and faithful chronicler of sporting
news, the IT 1rf, Field and Farm is with
ont rival. 1t is published at 81, Park

Editor Of the Ne,c Dominion:
DEAR SIR An editorial in the
Morgantown Post of the It'll, at
tempts to convey the impression that
] had sought to prevent the detail of
an army officer as instructor Of mill
tary tactics at the University, because
the position is at present filled by my
nephew, Major Ison.
| denounce the insinuation as I'M
just and false, and no one knows the
injustice and falsity of it better than
President Thompson himself
The record of the Board of Regents
will show that a resolution was adopt
ed. on my motion, authorizing the
President of the Board to take any
action he deemed necessary to secure
a detail.
President Thompson made spe-
cial visit to Washington last May,
trying to secure a detail, and he in
formed me on his return that he was
convinced that no detail would be
made. This was months before Ma
jor Ison was appointed, and before
he or his friends ever thought of him
in connection with the position.
l am not aware that single mem
Der of Congress knows that l have a
relative at the University in any ca
pacity, and ] am sure that none of
them know it from me. That a Dem
ocrat, and as the Post kindly says,
San Confederate soldier" would
have sufficient influence with the
present administration to neutralize
the efforts of President Thompson
and the Hon. George G. Sturgiss, is
an absurdity.
Major Ison will doubtless fee
thankful to the Post for the insinua-
tion that he holds his position under
such circumstances, and may well
pray, "save me from my friends"
Respectfully,
j. A. ROBINSON.

WHERE AREWE DRIFTING:

Yes, countrymen, that is the ques
ton, where are we drifting? and
where shall we anchor? Shall it be
in the haven of repose, of peace and
constitutional liberty and Govern
ment? or shall it be in the malstrom
of disquietude, hatred, blood and
selfish Imperialism No less than
all these direful questions are upon
us as people to be solved during the
year of our Lord 1880.
Once before, In our existence as a
Government, we heard the more than
accused cry by few fanatics, for
higher law than the Coastitntion-
but BOW, for the first time, hear the
thrice accursed and reasonable cry
for Government stronger than the
Constitution. Yes, Grant and a
strong Government. What does it
mean but the overthrow of Constitu-
tionaJ Government, and the estab-
iishment in its place of miserable
shoddy one man Government, the
most hideols of all Imperialisms.
Blaine, Sherman, Washburne, all
Republicans of the deepest dye, won't
do for President because they might
give some heed at least to the man
dates of the Constitution, which they
would each and all, if elected be
bound to take solemn oath to "pre-
serve, protect and DEFEND" No, that
is not strong enough for these polit-
ical vampires, but they want none
but Grant and strong Government.
Yes, stronger than the Government
that our fathers made for US, and
under which we have lived
and prospered for century.
None but Grant will do to
inaugurate this more than hellish
and traitorous scheme, to rob fifty
millions of people of their liberties,
purchased by the blood of their sires.
Yes. none but Grant, THE God of
Battles" is their blasphemous cry,
for they know their man, and his
fitness for the accused work. They
have his last twelve years of personal
and official life before them, written
In blood SO indelibly, that we're they
to say sout id spot" it wanldn't
be out. Ricers of water could moi
wash it ont. They know that when
he first was elected to public. life he
boosted that he had never read thu
