Barns the Stage Driver.

On one occasion Barnes was coming
down from Litchfeld, when an old wo-
man appeared from building at the
side of the road, and hailed the stage.
1t was pretty we'll loaded, as was ap-
parent 10 any observer: Barnes drew
up his horses, thinking he had passen-
ger in prospect.
I've got a trundle- bed, I wish you
would take to Danbury for me- said
the woman
Concealing his disgust Barnes grave
ly replied : Sorry, marm, cant accom-.
modate you, but I've got sawrmill to
take on just below here"
When o. Z. Clark kept a store on
South Main street it was fayorite re-

was in there when au old gentle

Things have changed great deal up
along the Still river, Mr. Barnes, since
you drew stage up there

and hatch their young, uncle:' asked
some one else.

said the old gentlenau.-

rogator, appealing TO the stage driver.

crotches of the trees:'

Barnes in his squeaking voice, but suck.

On another occasion he was seen
crossing the road with a parcel in bis

True euough, he had huge pumpkin

baked on a large old.fashioned earthern
platter. He was sent with it by his
wife to a poor but shiftless family, With
whose misfortune he had no sympathy.
What will they do with t.? asked
the friend.

Danbury, and was trlhe put out with
her husband. One day she was talk

her unhappy state, when Barnes came
along. She remembered him as the

quired what was the English price for the
same class of work. He replied: About
twelve shillings q week This is about
fifty cents day, while the price here is from
three to four times as much And nothing
but the protective tariff prevents the goods
Of the English manufacturer coming to this
country to undersell the American manu-
facturer. If the English monopolist can
secure in this country the adoption of "a
tariff for revenue only" he can drive Amer

wages cannot long hold his own against the
manufacturer who pays only 6fty cents. 1t

the best known TO the trade. and may fit
him like glove, and enable him to travel

argument for his election which will weigh
much with common-sense voters. Can it be
possible that his hackers entertain the belief
that when they are asked what are Han
cocks views on the tariff. the currency and
related public questions, they can with any
credit to themselves or their candidate reply,

no views upon the finances or the tariff. but

The Belfast Journal.

A change in the ownership and manage
ment of the Belfast Journal has recently
been made. An association known as the
Republican Journal Publishing Company
has been formed. and has purchased the
property Of Mr.. Simpson, the former editor
and proprietor. Mr.. Simpson, therefore,
retires from the active management Of the
concern, though still owning controlling
interest in the stock. The editorial chair
will be filed by Mr.. Charles A. Pilsbury.
Mr.. Russell S. Dyer will occupy the posi-
ton Of business manager and local writer.
Both Of these gentlemen are stock holders
in the company and both have had consider
able experience as journalists. The paper
is still in the best of hands and will still
retain its position as one of the best in the
State. 1t will advocate the principles of the
Republican party and in this respect will be
power.
Mr.. Simpson has long held the enviable
position of being one of the best writers in
the state, and his retirement is loss to the
profession. We learn that i'll health has
compelled him to take this step.

The Rebel Flag.

The rebel flag has become very conspIcu-
Gus as democratic banner during the pres
eni campaign
The Hot Springs, (.Ark-l Daily Telegraph
headed its notice of Democratic Barbecue,
Aug. 23rd, with the cut of rebel flag,
knowing full well that more Democrats
have rallied round that flag than round the
Stars and Stripes.
AT Fort WAYNE. Ind. where a Democratic
demonstration was held, Sept. 2sth. the
delegation from the town OF Williamsport
marched in with the rebel flag fying at the
head Of its column.
At Elwood, Ind. Sept 29th. the process
sion. at a Democratic rally. carried two
rebel flags, and on the same day. in Circle
vile, Ohio, rebel flag was conspicuous in
Democratic procession
In Georgetown, almost under the caves
Of the Capitol of the Nation. rebel flag is
kept iying at the head of Prospect Street.
Thus We see that SIX rebel flags have
crept out already for Hancock during the
campaign, and chiefly in the northern
States.
And vet, they tel! Us that the copper
head element of the North will not assist
the South in its sHort to undo the legisla-
ton made necessary by the war and that
they will not aid the South in securing the
payment OF rebel claims. Should the Solid
South and the copperheads of the North
carry this election. there Is not power
enough in Gen. Hancock nor the Republican
party to prevent it United States Senator
Vance, in a recent speech in Warren County
North Corolina. said
The South asks no bold and unfair thing
when she demands her righiful compensa-
ton for homes destroyed, farms laid waste
and pillaged. property stolen, and slaves re-
leased BY the Yankee plunderers who lived
upon and then refused US bounty. And
il is time that the whole North should
understand this II is time that the North
should understand that it must atone. far
as ii san, for all the South has suffered IN
body, pocket and soul. Our time is coming,
boys, and the long purgatory that We have
gone through will only make our paradise
the brighter when We get there"
This is reconstruction with a vengeance
No sane man north can doubt that Senate,
Vance expresses the sentiment of the Solid
South nor can he doub, that the copper
head element North, which is now fighting
so valiantly for the election of Gen. Han
cock, and which delights to show its sympa
thy with the South by displaying the rebls
flag, will hesitate for an instant in aiding
the South to secure all il asks for, shoulC
they ever have the control Of the Govern
plent.
After what the North has suffered il woult
seem as though it ought TO understand th'
temper Of the South and their allies here il
the North. The dark days of the rebellion
ought not to be entirely forgotten when VI
see the same spirit, which was rampant then
again stalking abroad.
Let men who can think ponder over thi
matter. Be wise before If is too late.
