The Democrats of Stark county must
feel rather discouraged at their cf-
forts to find an honest man.
A FOOL at Steubenville, Ohio,
made a wager that he could crawl
through n drain 800 feet long. After
seeing him enter the spectators wait
ed couple of hours to see him
come out. Then they commenced
to dig for him. After digging up
800 feet of the drain he was found
almost dead. He should go to Lou
isville and marry the woman who
attempted to lrcss chicken by sat
urating tho feathers with kerosene
oil and setting them on fire.
THE Tribune says the death of the
President now would not make so
much difference as it would three
weeks ago, for the public has come
to know the Vice President better.
Yet General Arthur l. the same man
now he was three weeks ago. The
inference to be drawn from what the
Tribune says, therefore, Is that the
inoendiary course and narrow rarti-
sanship of such sheets as the Tribune,
might have caused trouble. if the
President had been shot dead by his
assassin.-N y. Com. I'D.
A MONTANA paper says: f" A few
days since loud noise was heard in
the mountains on the west side of
The Bitter Root, the report resem-
bling the firing of cannon and rever-
berations. The noise was caused by
the falling of high peak on one of
the mountains about opposite Cor
wallis, and was so loud that II was
distinctly heard at Eight-Mile, below
Stevensville. Probably thousands
of tons of rock, the foundations of
which had been crumbling for ages,
came down in the grand crash"
IL Tioga county objection was
made to the issue of a commission
to Mr.. Cass, the Superintendent of
Schools elected by the School Direc=
tors Convention, upon the ground
that he had bought the votes of pi-
rectnrs. The State Superintendent,
Prof. IIigbee, after investigation, has
issued the commission. He says,
in his report on the subject, that no
testimony was offered justifying him
in Withholding it, though he con-
demns severely the practice which
was shown to have grown up of the
Suprintendent-elect paying the ex-
penses of the Directors incurred by
their attendance at the convention.
THE Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution
saws: Hundreds of families have
been broken up, and many innocent
women and young girls have been
hurried of to Utah to be sealed to
some lecherous saint in the great
temple dedicated to lust and concu.
binage. And yet the General Gov
eminent permits the villiany to go
on. 1t imprisons men in every
State for bigamy, and Furnishes Sc
verely the nameless crimes it per-
mits in Utah. 1t throws open the
doors OF the Capitol and permits a
noted bigamist to hold a seat in
Congress, and not an honorable
member is possessed with enough
courage to kick him out and down
the steps, or to attempt the enact
ment of a law which will prevent
such disgrace and crime.
Now that Mr.. Conkling has been
beaten, his opponents will be wise if
they put an end to the abuse that
has been showered on him for the
past two months. Nothing can be
made by it-much may be lost.
The Republicans of New York are
not so numerous that 4 following
such as Mr.. Conkling has may be
defied and insulted. They have
been beaten, but they don't propose
to be kicked. If any attempt in
that line is made there will be trou-
ble, in which somebody besides the
Stalwarts will get hurt. They fought
Tor what they believed was right.
They supported a leader whose 10y
atty has never been questioned, and
whose reputation has not a stain,
though he lived in an era of corrup-
ton. They expect fair treatment,
and propose to get it. They are
more loyal to the principles of Re-
publicanism than most of the lead
ing men opposed to them.-M Y.
