New ORLEANS papers urge the build
ing of more railroads into Texas. Their
city has but one railroad connection
with Texas, and ought to have at least
three, being the natural seaport OF all
that section of the country, That the
trade of Texas is worth looking after will
be seen from the following figures The
trade of Texas with st. Louis alone is
estimated at $4,000, ,00Oannually, Over
the Iron Mountain Railroad alone, going
northward, there went from Texas dur
ing the year ending August 81, 1880,
25l 1884 bales Of cotton, 1850 barrels cot
ton seed oil, 9O,445 head of live stock,
3,4O8,997 pounds of hides 4O2,492 pounds
of wool, 100000 pounds of bones, 1886
hogsheads of pecans, lO5,77l feet of lum-
ber, and 1880 tons of miscellaneous
freight. Over the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railroad, it is reasonable to as
sumo that as much more, or nearly so,
went out of the State northward. These
are rich specimens from Texan trade
bonanza into which the New Orleans
merchants have only to stretch their
iron arms of transportation in order at
least to share its wealth with those who
now fatten on the whole of it.

WILL the Stark County DEMOCRAT pub
lish Judge Davis decision in the Philips
Chinese letter forgery case? There are
many readers of the DEMOCRAT, who take
no other p per, and would like to know
what the Judge has to say about it, after
hearing the evidence.-ALFance Review.
The Stark Co. DEMOCRAT, last week,
had in Davis's decision as well as Hew
tits rejoinder, and also a synopsis of
Davis's correction, in which he admitted
having falsifed in regard to Mr.. Hewitt.
Let the ReUieO go and do likewise. The
two young Napoleon organs, the Rep, and
Review, published the infamous decision
of the partisan Judge, but have not had
the common fairness to publish either
Mr.. Hewitts reply or Davis's own cor
rection. These instruments of base ser.
yilety are pretty cubs to talk to the Stark
Co. DEMOCRAT ......... ..

HARRY Y. ARMSTRONG" of the Mt.
Vernon Republican, has sued State Sena-
tor Locky Harper, of the Banner, for
libel, laying his damages at only $4,000.
1t seems this fellow imagined he could
personally assail Mr., Harper as he
pleased without receiving slight touch
in return In his arrogance and conceit
he paid no attention to Mr.. Harper's adj
monitions, and went on in his course
thinking he was doing it. 1t seems this
Harry" had history before coming to
Mt. Vernon, to lead the party of "great
moral ideas;" and Mr.. Harper, in his
Banner, gave little of his career, show
ing he was not beyond the arrows of
truth. He was touched on the raw, and
badly hurt. Armstrong; character, we
Judge, must be like that of the Irish girl
She had certificate Of character along
and when showing it to the Captain one
day gust of wind blew it overheard.
She wept terribly at the loss of her char
ac-ter; but the Captain finally consoled
her by telling her he would give her a
better one before they would reach New
York. Armstrong also values his char
ac-ter high. We wonder if it is worth
fifty cents. hf

A MEETING of Republican citizens was
held in Providence, r. l., to discuss the
political situation at the South and to
consider the propriety Of forming an
association in Rhode Island that should
aid in building up at the South a pro-
gressiVe party that, among other things,
"will strengthen the National feeling and
the love of the Union in that section"
On which the Boston Post comments:
Any movement on the part of these
Rhode Island patriots which shall have
for its object the strengthening of the
love of the Union in the South, or any
other part of the country, is certainly a
cOmmendable one, but when they talk
about Americanizing" the South and
Christening the ruling class there,
which "has always despised labor and
laboring men" it is respectfully suggested
that they look nearer home. A State
whose ruling class boasts of the fact that
it can and does disfranchise thousands
of laboring men whose patriotism and
intelligence are not called into question
is hardly the one in which to begin to
agitate the question of how to Ameri-
eanize" the South. Only about one in
ten Of the adult male citizens of Rhode
Island can exercise the dearest right of
an American citizen, and seven-eighths
of those who are thus degraded by the
" ruling class are honest laboring men.

THE Philadelphia Press, leading Re-
publican journal, but not overly friendly
to Cameron & Co., thinks it high time
General Garfield should inform the peo-
pie whether there was treaty at Men
tor. We quote;
Did General Garfield sign treaty
offensive and defensive with the stall
warts at Mentor? Did he make terms
with Grant, Conkling, Cameron and Lo-
gan? Was this the price of their snp-
port and of his election? Was it the
secret of the new inspiration which fired
the canvass from that signal hour
These questions have been asked on every
side. In many quarters they have re-
ceived preposterous answers which be-
tray a curious -nisconception of the char
acter and quality of the men. Yet these
wild conjectures and persistent misstate-
ments have been repeated so often that
they have raised a cloud of doubt and
confusion in the public mind. 1t is high
time that the sunlight of truth were al
lowed to pierce and scatter this mist Of
uncertainty.
Whether there was a treaty will prob
ably be disclosed the first month of the
new administration.

WHO Is REsPONslBLE.


1t was Republicans, not Democrats,
who endeavored to create distrust as to
the future prosperity of the country
prior to the election, by predicting a
stoppage of mills and mines, and dimin-
ished business in every department of
trade. A panic as disastrous as that of
'79 was predicted by leadiug manufac-
turers if Garfield was defeated. 1t was
the staple of every speech. 1t was
adopted by the authority of the Repub-
lican National Committee and proved,
as was anticipated, the most effective
campaign weapon the Republican party
employed. The business scare was
adopted in every State and was heard
from every stump, and filed the Repub-
lican press from the New York Tribune
to the least of village organs. Hundreds
of thousands of workingmen were con-
vinced by their employers that the pros
tration of business, if Hancock was cleo
ted, would inevitably carry want and
poverty to their homes, If it did not
mean this, why did Harry Oliver say, to
quote his amended statement, that he
would not be able to pay good wages if
Garfield was defeated" Else why did
B. F. Jones assert should the Demo-
Gratis win, look out for panic rivalling
that of 1873, and IF Garfield is defeated
the bottom will fall out of the iron trade"
Mr.. SChoonmaker said the same thing in
relation to the coal trade
Now the reverse ought to be mani
tested that Garfield has been elected,
If these representative Republicans were
sincere in their pledges that prosperous
times were dependent upon the election
of a President, that full wages and con-
slant employment follows Republican
success, and the reverse occur if the De-
mocraCy should win, upon which repre-
sentations, more than any other Garfield
owes his election, there can be no harm
in reminding these gentlemen of their
promises and predictions.
We believe they purposely misled the
workingmen of the county; that they
knew the success of one or the other
party would not accelerate or retard a
panic; that the business of the country
does not depend upon the operations Of
government but that they took a mean
advantage of their money and power to
control votes and drive the labor ele-
ment through fright to support the Re-
publican ticket. Already we hear from
different sections the discomfort inevita-
bic from unfulflled pledges, and it is
altogether beside the question to claim
that it arises from reminders of promises
made prior to the election.
Business success and prosperous times
lie beyond the operations of party. Mills
will suspend, business men will fail,
workingmen be thrown out of employ
ment as we have always insisted, all the
same, no matter who is elected President
or what newspapers may say. We have
to do with false prophets who prostituted
business to politics; and repel the hypo-
critical assumption that the success of
the Democratic party means ruin to our
institutions, disaster to business or re-
duction of wages to the workingmen.
The men who said so prior to the cleo
ton did not tell the truth, and they
knew it.-PiH8 Post.

HANcocK's majority over Garfield in
Kentucky is 43,5l5, with one county
(Magofin) unreported. In 1875 that
county gave Tilden 4SO votes and Hayes
1876. Hancock's majority in the State is
about 1900 less than Tilden's, and Gar
fields vote is more than 5000 larger than
that of Hayes, In 1876 the Greenback
vote was 1,944 this year it is more than
1000. The Prohibition vote has fallen
from SlS in 1875 to 257 this year. The
total vote of the State is over 1858, 1872, an
increase of more than 1000 over 1876.

have grown rich on politics, would have

starved in any other pursuit.
Were you really great man, did you
possess the moral courage equal to your
intellect, l should expect you as Presi-
dent to kill off the faction that elected
you. AS party made up of measures
without principles, and each measure
shaped to benefit some one class at the
expense of the industries many, in it's
jealous greed it shuts us out from the in
tellectual progress of the world; and
while in Europe statesmen are discuss
ing grave questions of political economy,
and the people are clearing away such
barbarisms as tariffs, land tenures, civil
service reform, and corporated monopo-
lies, we are shouting ourselves hoarse
over political differences no man can
define, while the combined few are ac-
cumulating property through processes
scarcely one remove from open theft.
The Republican party is a dead weight
on and hindrance to the conscience and
intellect of the people, 1t ought to be
killed. DOM PIATT.

REV. HENRY CLAY DEAN, of Missouri,
formerly chaplain of the United States
Senate, puts it this way: What elected
Garfield was the combination of Beecher,
who, for two decades, has polluted ltera-
ture, and who was caught in crime, with
Conkling, who has been prancing for
years with another mans wife, and In
gersoll, who read a writ of eiectment
against Almighty God and a Jail delivery
to hell-this it was that defeated us and
elected Garfield"
