ORIOLE OBSERVATIONS.
Activity In Baltimore and Certainty
of such Royal Time as Never Be
fore had Anywhere.

The busy notes of preparation are
heard Oh all sides in Baltimore, and the
Oriole will prove an event. the equal Of
which in brilliancy, splendor and extent
was never known in this country. From
Monday morning to the wee small hours
of Wednesday night, there will be one
constant succession of brilliant specta-
cles. The pageant Tuesday night the
18th. will be dazzling in the extreme
The floats upon which the tableuX will
be shown are Of unusually large dimen-
sions, being placed upon railroad tracks
and run over the line of march upon
street car tracks. This enables the con-
struction Of the tableaux npon . very
large scale, and insures 50 steady and
solid transit ~ to afford almost no end
of opportunity fer display. Not only
will the lire Of march be illuminated
from one end 10 the other, but the en-
tire cisy will be lighted by electric, calci-
um and other lights. IL will indeed be
such night as will live In memory for
years to come. The decorations through
out the city will of Themselves be worthy
Of journey 30 look upon. Baltimore
demonstrated her great taste In this line
at the Sesqui-Csntennial last year. and
the improvement, she will make this
year will surprise all. Everybody ap-
pears to be interested in the event, and
Oriole is the talk of the town. The mu-
nicipal authorities will make the recep-
tion to the distinguished Frenchmen the
most noteworthy of any that will be
rendered during their stay in this coun-
try. The most brilliant festivities will
be inaugurated in their honor. and the
grand ball and carnival with which the
three days will end promises to eclipse
all previous attempts at such sort of
thing anywhere in the country. Every
care Wi be taken by the B. & o. TO pro-
vide the best of accommodation for the
immense crowds which will go from the
line of the road to Baltimore The ex-
ceeding low rate of one-half the usual
fare proves very popular, as also the ten
days limit on the tickets.

The Duties of the Living,

The obsequies in honor of the Nations
dead are over, and we now turn to mat.
ters that affect the living. President
Garfeld's work on earth is at an end, but
ours remains to be carried on to the fin
fish. The stern realities of every day
life confront us, and the duties deyolv-
ing upon US as citizens of the State and
of the country must be met as they
would have been met had the noble man
of Mentor lived to ripe old age. The
Republican party has not been buried
with General Garfield, and it must go on
to fulfill that high destiny for which it
was raised up by a experimenting ProTi-
dence. 1t was given mission to per-
form and it cannot shirk that mission if
it would. 1t must 90 ON to the compile
ton of its great work. The party can
not sit down in idle grief. 1t can never
cease to sorrow over the untimely taking
away of man who had won its best
and truest affection. but it can best hon.
or his memory by sustaining the princi-
Piles to the advocacy of which he gave
the best years of his exalted manhood.
The necessity Of Ohio Republicans car
rylng the State is as urgent now as at
any time in the past-we may say, even
greater. Could Garfield have lived,
nothing would have been more grateful
to his feelings than an Endorsement by
the State in which he was born, and to
which he gave his best services through
out his public career. Knowing this
fact, Republicans should accept it as
their duty to keep the State steadily in
line with the party which Garfield hon
ored by his brilliant craftsmanship and
high-souled integrity. There are but
few days intervening between this. and
the second Tuesday of October, and
they should be days of labor to every
Republican. The customary campaign
work has been seriously broken in upon.
1t was proper that men should turn
away from political strife in the hour of
the Nations calamity. But it is now
imperative that Republicans should now
work all the harder. They should deter
mine to win clean victory by electing
their State ticket. They can win i'll
they only put their shoulders. to the
wheel as they did one year ago. 1t is
true that voice which then encouraged
and cheered them on is now silent, but
the party and its principles still live.
What was duty then remains a duty
still, and every Republican should so re-
cognize it. Let us then be up and doing
through the few days yet remaining for
work.-[Cleveland Leader.

The Democratic papers are trying to
make point against Governor Foster
with the colored voters. They say that
Foster and the Republican administra-
tion has failed to properly recognize the
colored element. When it comes to
making specifications, however, they ask
to be excused. Is it to be understood that
Bookwalter will bestow offices ON color
ed men? Is it not the boast of the
Democratic papers and the Democratic
Literary Bureau that of the thousands
of men employed by Mr. Book walter,
ALL ARE WHITE MEN-not single mig
ger" being employed in any capacity ?
The lordly John w. cannot think of per-
mitting black man to come between

GAINESVILLE to Jerusalem-to what Je.

project is concerned, it matters not.

than they received.

The Band took a notion that it had
better tizzle, and therefore, proceeded to
do so. But some one had energy enough
to suggest that stock company be
formed with three hundred shares of
one dollar each, to furnish stamina for
the boys'of the band. This is rapidly
being carried into effect. We must have

GAINESVILLE is a contrary place. She
is not going to support Swaney She is
not going to support Wagner. She is
not going to help the Removalists. The
Removalists had better beware. Some
of these fine days they will be badly
beaten, and GAINESVILLE will do it. Nine
tenths of her people want the county
seat to remain where it is: and situated
rs they are, they possess enough infu-
ence to defeat Bellaire, if st. Clairsville
cannot.
Our schools have been greatly dis
turbed by the hot weather, the fair and
the show. But underthe splendid man
agement of Prof. Yarnell, all has been
done that could be done. By the
way, we have a very peculiar school
board here. One of its doctrines IS, that
literary societies, so essential to educa-
tion, shall be excluded from the school
house-and may they get all the honor
from it possible.
The net proceeds of the fair were
$4,000. A meeting of the directors will
be held soon. which will afford opportu;
nifty for the annual complaints of the
dissatisfied.
The yearly meeting of the Friends
closed on last Thursday, with larger
attendance than ever before. The
Friends come from all parts of the coun-
try, and. as result, excellent speakers
can be heard. Even Ireland had its rep-
resentatiye in knee-breeches and knee.
buckles of long ago. The fine grounds
about the church drew together large
number without the denomination of
Friends.

The Duty OF Republicans.

Every man who loves the principles
for which Garfield battled wheR living
every man who cast vote for him in
1880, and every man who cherishes the
memory ct the assassinated President
should be at the polls on the second
Tuesday of October. When living
James A. Garfield was devoted to the
Republican party. He was the great
exponent Of its principles and never fall
tered when It was needed to strike a
blow in their defense. He was q Re-
publican of the Republicans. earnest,
sincere. and honest.
Belmont county can best honor the
memory of-the eountry's dead hero and
statesman, for whom a majority of her
citizens cast their votes last year, by
keeping the canse which he advocated,
ever in the ascendant. This can only be
done by initiating his earnestness and
devotedness to principle, and by turning
out NEXT TUESDAY at the polls and
casting vote for Charles Foster, the
representative of those principles.

County Seat! County Seat!
From Bellaire Daily Independent. Oct 8.

FToih DtilalIe Dally independent, Oct 3.
REASONS WHY EVERY ONE SHOULD VOTE
THE OOUNTY-sEAT-REMOv TICKET.
Every remoyalist should vote the tick.
ct, for we can only gain our rights by
demanding them emphatically and per-
sistcntly.
Every Democrat who favors vote on
the county-seat question should vote
our ticket. BY so doing he keeps faith
with his fellows and puts his vote une-
quivocally on the right side.
Every one who does not want the pub
lie money squandered or improvements
at st. Clairsville, before vote on the
removal can be taken, should vote the
Removal ticket, for Patterson is the on
ly candidate for Commissioner who fa-
vors vote of the people.
The people who furnish hundreds of
dollars annually TO carry on the county
seat contest should certainly vote the
county-seat ticket, and relieve them
selves of this voluntary burden.
Every one who believes we need new
county buildings should vote this ticket,
for we should certainly first settle the
question of permanent location, and
then build.

WHEN Congress meets in December il
is probable that an active discussion
will arise on the subject of our surplus
revenues. One party will want to con.
tinue the tariff and internal revenue
taxes, as at present. and apply the sur.
plus, as now, to the liquidation of the
public debti second will seek to have
revenue and expenditure equalized by
the reduction of internal revenue duties.
and third to revise and reduce the
tariff duties on foreign goods. Mean
time, the surplus of revenue is very
large and steadily increasing. For the
three months ended September 80 the
reduction Of the public debt has aggre-
gated 81, 100000, and there is an avail
able cash balance in the Treasury now
of $160,000,000, the total cash in the
Treasury being S250,OOO,OO0. There is
an increase of receipts from internal
revenue of S14,0O0,OOO for 1881 over
1880. with 100000 gallons of whisky
now in bond. all of which will pay duty
before the end of the fiscal year. These
facts, with the reductions in the interest
charges effected by Secretary Window,
seem to give assurance that. provided
there be no reduction in taxation, we
may go on paying off the public debt, as
we are now doing, at the rate of S5OO,eOO
a year. Il BALTIC American.
