Better Ventilation Wanted in the
Census Office.

Editor Stdr:-The large number OF clerks oc-
cupying the same room in this office makes a
perfect system Of ventilation necessity. Ia
the largest room there are one hundred and
thirty clerks, when all the space Is occupied.
Several ladies In this room have 10 preparation
petition asking General Walker to make
rules regulating thorough ventilation. The
rooms are closed very soon after the clerks
leave, and when the employees go to their desk
the air is heavy and facilitating. Miss Terry,
who Is much interested In this sanitary ques
ton, suggests that the windows be open an
hour eacn evening, and again in me morning
before nine O'Clock. and ren minutes at noon.
when the clerks can move about Ii every
window Is down from the top there Is no escape
for the impure air unless several clerks are
obliged to SIT near an open window. The very
best appliances for constant change OF air are
needed, for the clerks begin to feel the Ill
effects OF breathing impure air. Gen. Walker is
thoughtful and soiicitouS for the comfort OF
those In his charge, and he Will no doubt see
that there are rules made and methods adopted
TO secure better ventilation. b. b.

that nve weeks ago last Saturday, Tourney and
several others came into his restaurant at
Uni0ntown, and got drinks, and he told him 10
never MIND the pay for the drinks, and without
any provocation Tourney struck him on the left
eye with some sharp instrument and kicked
him In the stomach, and the result was that his
eye had TO be taken out three weeks ago. On
cross examination witness said that he did not
see the commencement OF the trouble and on
his return from the city he found Tim
Regain, Tourney and others there fuss.ng
about game Of bagatelle to decide who should
pay for the drinks and Tourney said he wouldn't
pay for he had not lost the game. He then told
Tourney to never mind the pay. Did not see any
one holding Tourney at the time. Thomas
Berkeley testified to seeing Tourney, Ryan and
Regain In the saloon, and they proposed TO playa
game and asked him 10 keep the game. Tourney
lost the game. and Stephenson told him To never
mind the pay, and Tourney went out. He (T.)

The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1880-10-21
Once More.

Before the October election, the
several local candidates had personal
interest in getting the voters to at
tend the election. These candidates,
of both parties. spent both time and
money in order to get out all the vo-
ters. This was proper. Many men
who do not own buggies, and many
who have no use for horses, do not
feel able to walk three, four or five
miles to the election. These men must
be looked after, and must be taken to
the polls. Who will do this at the
Presidential electson? It will not do
to let the vote fall off now. In the
State of Ohio there were about 700,-
900 votes cast at the October election.
A majority of 10000 on that vote. it
will be seen, is about one vote in 35.
Now, suppose that in township CIV
ing 200 votes, six voters should remain
at home; this would wipe out the en-
tire majority in the State. if all the
townships in the State should thus
fall off.
Now we believe that Jackson coun-
ty can give Garfield from 600 to 700
majority, if all earnest Republicans
will do their duty. 1t must be done,
and the work must be attended to in
each locality. Home rule--local self
government. must do the work.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1880-10-21
The Danger.

Now the great danger is over-con-
fdence. Men who think it a task to
90 to the election will argue with
themselves that a vote here and there
will make little difference-that Ohio
is sure for Garfield any way This
may be fatal mistake. A cores
pondent at Columbus, Of one of the
daily papers. says that he has ascer-
tanned that the Democracy has great
hopes Of carrying Ohio in November.
! The plan is to have the Democrats
everywhere say that it is no use to
make further effort in this State-that
Garfield is sure to carry the State, and
that further work is thrown away. &c.
If they can get the Republicans to
nibble at this bare hook, they think
that many Republicans will become
careless, and not go to the election.
While this scheme is being carried
out. the Democracy is to work secret
ly through its organization, and get
out every Democratic voter.
Republicans Of Jackson county!
you did your duty most nobly at the
October election. Will you not give
one-half day more for the good of
your country? There will be no more
big meetings, and your time and mon
ey, travelling expenses, tavern bills.
&C., are not needed. Go to the cleo
tion and vote. That is all you now
have to do. and Jackson county can
give Garfield 600 majority, and the
State of can give him 10000. and the
Nation can elect him for President.
and the present prosperity of tie
whole country will be continued.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1880-10-21
The Tariff.

A few days before the October cleo
ton. a Republican came into our office
and asked for the two platforms. and
said that a Democrat had told him
that if he found that the Democratic
platform was in favor of tariff for
revenue only, while the platform of
the Republicans was for Protection,
he would vote the Republican ticket.
All an honest laboring man, as well
as every shrewd business man, need
know, is the position Of each party on
this vital, all-important question.
For instance, take the tariff of 81 per
ton off pig-iron, and it is about one
third of the present price, or fourteen
dollars per ton. Now if man can
get $50 per day for labor at an iron
furnace, he would have to take S100
per day. or the furnace must stop.
Suppose that every furnace in Jackson
county would bow out tomor-
row. Not only would all the hands
at the. furnace be thrown out of en-
ployment, but all the markets for the
products of the farms would be blot
ted out. The merchants would have
little call for goods. The mechanics
would be idle, and general distress
would spread over the land.
Laboring men are beginning tol
wake up to the importance of this
question. Until the present campaign,
the Irish-the great labor element of
our population, have almost solidly
voted directly against their own inter .
voted the Dem. c'atic tick !
ct. Now they are looking to their
own interests, and they are coming
over by the score We personality
know many IriShmen who voted the
Republican ticket for the first time, e
at the recent October election.

Identity of Interests.

We spoke recently of the good re-
suits that may always be expected
from people of any community work
ing for each others mutual interests.
This is the theory of protection to
American industry. The American
people are so we'll convinced of the
benefits resulting from protection,
that perhaps no administration will
ever come into power not pledged to
protection.
Let US apply this to local affairs.
The way to build up any community
is to work together. Take the furna-
ces and coal miners in jackson county,
and let the owners and hands work in
concert, and you will soon see the
beneficial results. Let the owners
sell goods as cheap as the other mer-
chants, and then the hands will buy
goods where they get employment,
ind whatever profit there may be on
the goods, will, to considerable ex-
tent, be divided with the purchasers

The Irish Troops Forght Nobly.

It is a good sign that the indus
trious, honest voters, of all nationali-
ties, are rapidly leaving the Demo-
cratic party. 1t is to the interest Of
every voter to vote in favor of good
government, and especially in favor of
that party which advocates and prac-
tices sound financial doctrines. The
Democratic party has lived by decep-
tion, and many good, honest voters.
have been led to vote with it, through
the belief that it was party having
for its object the welfare of this eoun-
try. A great majority of the Irish
voters have heretofore voted with the
Democrat party. These voters are
rapidly learning the true inwardness
Of that party, and are leaving it, in
large numbers. We believe these men
will not regret the change they have
made.
Some of the best work done in the
recent campaign in Indiana, was done
by the eloquent Irish orators who
stumped the State for the R publi-
cans. And this work has to some ex-
tent been recognized, as will be shown
by the roll of the new Legislature of
Indiana For the State Senate, in
Steuben and DeKalb Counties, Fran
els Mccartney; House, Marion Coun-
ty, Stephen McSheehy; Delaware,

hearted man claims that it WAS the
work Of the enlightened, patriotic
Welsh citizens of the county, always
true and reliable; another says it was
the work Of the honest, industrious
Irishmen, who have just come over to
US, of their own accord and sense of
duty; another says the patient, honest
Germans must not be forgotten; an
other says the colored troops fought,
as usual, nobly; another says that the
old residents" the native Americans,
did it, and so on.
Well, we al did it. Our principles
are correct, and all that is necessary
for continued vindication Of those
principles, is honest investigation.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1880-10-21

THE tactics Of the leaders of the
Democracy did not pan out very bril-
liantly. The most silly and idiotic
maneuvers were resorted to. and it is
strange that men Of sense in the ordi-
nary affairs Of life should act in so
silly manner. The 329 foolery was
never before equallpd for stupidity.
1t must have cost thousands Of dol
lars to get these figures marked with
chalked Or paint in hundreds Of places,
in every city, town and village in the
United States. The petty thieves who
did this little, nasty work, dare not let
their names be known.
Another order appears to have gone
ont from headquarters, and that is, to
have all the boys shout for Hancock.
A friend who has travelled a good deal.
informs US that he can scarcely pass a
house anywhere on the road that the
boys and children are not heard to
shout ''Hurrah for Hancock" as soon
rs they see person on the road.
1t is hoped that after the Novem-
ber election, there will be fewer (polit-
ical) fools than there are now.

And his light breath, coming, going, gently famed

Warmly nesting at my side
Like little sleepy bird.

Years have passed me by since then
Long the little bed has stood
Empty, silent; yet, again,
Thrilling deeper than my pain,

Through life's midnight dark and dim.
