The last Harper's Weekly has q striking
picture Of scene from real life these
days. A political loafer makes his appear.
ance in front Of mechanic at work, fresh
from the "Hotel de Rum" across the
street, and addresses him thus:
Political LOdfr-Hurrah for changel
Busy Worknidn-Times are better; work
is plenty. / don't want a change for your
sake.
As fitting addendum to this picture,
and as corroboration ofit-we append
the following paragraph from the Bellaire
Tribune OF yesterday:
Every manufacturing establishment in
Bellaire Is now at work, and combined
they are turning out more manufactured
goods than ever before. The working
classes are all employed, getting very fair
wages, and the merchants are enjoying q
prosperous and profitable trade. There
has never been time when everything
looked so favorable here for the growth
and prosperity OF the city, and We ask the
people Of tho county outside the city to
visit Bellaire and take look ct her pro-
ished at their extent and variety.
This Is the story that can be told in re-
gard to almost every locality in the coun.
try. Times are better and work Is plenty,
and why should the country be turned up.
side down politically merely to put q
great lot Of bummers in Office who have
become hungry and ravenous for the
spoils after their long fast.
THE change we want is not change Of
this sort, but rather Of the kind indicated
by Secretary Sherman in his great speech
at Cincinnati on the Soth Of last month,
in which he said: eve want to change
this Democratic Coagress into q Republi.
can Congress, in harmony with the
spirit Of the age and with the general
policy Of the Republican party; Con-
gress that will, while closely scrutinising
the public expenses, be Just and liberal
for the necessary purposes, and economi-
cal, careful and prudent in Its appropria-
ton Of public money. We want to com.
blne activity aud industry and good times.
We want to foster our. industry, extend
our trade, and fill our vast area with tliriv.
ing, industrious people, native aud natur.
Allied"
This Is the sort Of q change we want,
and not change that will put a vast
horde Of hungry bummers, the half Of
whom cannot make living at any honest
employment, into office. And least Of all
do we want a change that will bring to
the front that dangerous class Of dead
beats who are lying in wait for Demo-
cratic success for the purpose Of robbing
the government Of untold millions Of
money. We quote further from Secretary
In regard TO this class Of men:

The story OF The Poor Mans Friend.

The story OF the Poor Mans Friend.
A good many persons will read with
deep interest the article which we publish
to-day from the Cincinnati Commercial in
regard to VIM. H. English, the Demo
cratic Candidate for Vice President. Well
may 1t be said Of Mr.. English that no man
ever known to the public in this country
has such record as this. From all &C
counts he is the champion mortgage grab
Der and tenant ejector Of the nineteenth
century. The case as told by the records
Of the courts in Indianapolis is summed
up as follows by the Cleveland Leader:
During the short space Of two years, aa
shown by court records, he elected seven.
ty.two poor families from their homes.
And this was not done for non,payment oil
rent due but because the tenants failed to
pay their rent in advance. The modern
Shylock watched them as hawk watches
his prey. As long as they had work, were
we'll, and were likely TO be able to pay
him. they were unmolested. The mo.
ment that adversely beiell them, English
united his prosecutions with their mis-.
fortunes, and drove them out OF house and
home. His rapacious NAV spared neither
sex nor age. He had pity for no one. His
memorable grasp fell wherever there was
misfortune and suffering.
1fany man, after reading the article IN
our supplement, can vote for William H..
En- glish, he must dose upon the principle
that inhumanity and rapacity are worthy
of being rewarded. During the last few
years he has made hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars by ioreclosing marriages on prop
erty which he had sold to poor people
and for which he had received part pay
ment. Every poor, hard working me-
chanic who came within his reach was
robbed. General Joe Geiger recently
said that II this man English were not
punished hereafter, 1t would be simply
because he had not soul enough to be
damned" The people will not leave his
case for the future. He Is deserving Of
punishment here and In the next world
too, but II the voters do their duty in No
yember they will see that he then re-
ceiyes genuine foretaste Of what is In
store for him hereafter,

SENATOR THURMAN AND THE WORLD.
From the New York World, October 10, 1873.
Senator Thurman lets up Gen. Garfield,
Of Ohio, in this amiable fashion:
aoakes Ames swears that Garfield got ten
shares, and Garfield says that he did not
do anything Of the kind. There was a
good deal Of talk, but no proof against
him, and am compelled TO say that Gar
field gets out OF 1t better than anybody
else, and on the whole, there was not sui.
ficient evidence to fasten the corruption at
his door,"
After considering all the testimony, on
the whole, we concur in this view Of Mr..
Garfeld's connection with the Credit Mo-
hitler.

THE SUFFERING CONDUCTOR.
From The ALbanp Arnns.

From The dLbdnp Argus
There is no greater display of imbecilitV in any
insane asylum than on most railroad trains. What
wonder then, that the conductor occasionally loses
all patience and answers rather Curtly. Only the
other day an old lady on her way to Montreal, with
a dozen bandbOxes and bundles would frantically
gather them up every time the train stopped at q
side station and rush for the conductor and ask If
that was Montreal if she had to change cars and
every time was told: No, no, no; you've got 200
miles to 90 yet keep your seat" The conductor
was growing livid over this continual yexation,
and would probably have jumped the train and
fled in terror but that q junction was reached
where that coach was set off and another conductor
took his turn at the rack of torture.
A conductor who leaves the city In the morning
and returns in the evening, got Oft at small sta
ton not far out the other evening on his return
trip. He was approached by grim; visaged indi-
vidual, who addressed him N tone that showed no
left me this mGrnipgi. The conductor responded
was in the depot here" AWell, my dear sir, you
must recollect that the depot never goes out |
never load my passengers on with gtretcher. II
You want to ride with me yOu must climb on the
train" The angry man was completely nonplu ssed,
and remarking: i" Well thats So" he turned and
walked away, apparently satisfied

THE CAVES OF BORNEO.

The recent explorations of the caves in the
island of BOrneo do not seem to have accom-
pishcd particularly valuable results. The ex-
istrncc of caves containing fossil bones has been
proved, and at the same lime the existence of
man in the island with the fauna, whose re-
mains are entOmbed in these caves. But, both
from the recent nature OF this fauna, and from
the fact that the race Of men whose remains are
associated with it had already reached an adj
vanccd stage of civilization, the discovery has
in no way aided the solution of those problems
for the unravelling of which it was originally
promoted. No light has been thrown on the
origin of the human race-the history of the
development OF the fauna chaTacterzing the
Indo- Malayan sub-regIOn has not been adj
yanccd-nor, virtually, has any evidence been
obtained toward showing what races OF men
inhabited BOrnrO previously to the immigra-
ton of the various tribes of MaaYan stock which
now people the island. Furthermore, the pre-
sumption that the northwest plrtion Of BOrneO
has too recently emerged above the waters of the
sea to render it probable that future discoveries
will be made of cave deposits of greatly higher
antiquity than those already examined, has been
strengthened,
