Nenango is the name of new town
laid out on the Nenango mine.. They
have already five families from Ohio,
who will locate there. Mike Cowley
seems to be instrumental in this enter
prise, and he called over the names
of some of the streets to us which we
thought quite romantic. They have
a Broadway, Tenderfoot ave. Woman
Hunter ave-, Big Foot ave-, Rocky
ave-, Bub ave-, Timberline ave-, Cop
ley and Cowley aves. The officers are
as follows: David Sayer, Mayor; G.
B. NJ. c. Steele, Jas. Burns, H. ].
Murphy and Bub Thompson, Com
missioners. Jacob Thompson, Mar
shall; Rich'd Collie and J. c. W. Saw
yer, Constables; Woodward Hughes,
City Attorney; NJ. Cowley, Recorder.
They have two lots set apart for a
court house, churches, town halls, and
50 on. Mr.. Copley is down in the
mouth because he did not get an Of
fee; but the Ohio men were afraid of
him, thinking, he would spend too
much on public Improvements, water
works, etc. They have had several
offers to sell lots.at "a big figure, to
,peculaors, but will not do it.

GLADSTONE ON PARNELL
AND IRELAND.

Premier Gladstone made a speech at
Leeds on Friday last which has stirred
the English people considerably, and
elected much favorable comment from
the leading American journals. He ex-
planned the liberal foreign policy as con-
sisting of two main principles (: "That
every foreign country should be credited
with the same good motives as our
selves until it showed the contrary, and
that every power was entitled to the
same rights and privileges, irrespective
Of size.'' There was much to be done,
he said. in altering and modifying the
land laws of England and Scotland, but
the circumstances in these parts are not
those Of Ireland. He argued that the
depression of trade proceeded from de-
creased purchasing power. He calcula-
ted that between 1878 and 1880 the
country had lost 924, 100000 on her
expors trade, but as much as G100,000,-
600 from bad harvests. Referring to
the fair-trade league, he said that some
persons complained about the American
tariffs. America sent us 93,000,000
worth of manufactures, while we sent to
America from g3O,OOO,OOO to G40,-
OOO,OOO worth. Fair traders wanted
America to cease to be our customers to
this amount. More unfair leaguers he
never knew. He condemned in plain
terms Parnell's doctrine of plumber.
saying "Mr. Parnell is very copious in
his references to America. but in all
those references he has never found time
to utter word of disapproval about the
assassination literature of that country,
which is not American literature. Amer
leans scorn, spurn and loatbe il" Fur
Their scathing denuncIations of Parnell
followed, and, abiding to agrarian
crime, Mr.. Gladstone said: ''What
would happen in England if crime prov
ed beyond the exertions of the officers
of the law? Vast multitudes of loyal
citizens would array themselves in sup
post of the law. But no such thing is
, heard of in Ireland. General cowardice
seems to prevail among all classes who
possess property, and the government is
expected to preserve peace with no NOR
al force behind them. That is great
scandal and evil for ireland. and until
the evil is removed the condition of Ire
land will not be thoroughly healthy.

Bribery ut Albany.

The latest sensation at Albany-that
of "alleged bribcry'-wa not at all
astonishing to the country, because
nobody is ever surprised at anything
that occurs i'll political contest. A
few days ago, Bradley, a member of the
Legislature who is favorable to Conk-
ling, announced that he had been zap
preached" by a supporter of Depew
and offered $1,000 if he would vote for
that gentleman. 1t was Immediately
charged by the anti-Conllling faction
that this was a mere trick to kill
Depew's prospects, which are getting
too bright for the comfort of his oppo-
newsstand the results of investigation
into the matter seem to verify this
counter charge. Depew himself de-
MES point blank that he has used or
authorized the use of funds to secure
his election and Bradley himself has
confessed to falschood and treachcry.
We say there is nothing new about
this maneuver of Bradley and the fac
ton he represents but it is none the
less disgraceful because it is old. The
Conkling side of the contest seems
ready to adopt any method likely to
bring about the desired end, and are
not particular at all about the quality
of means employed. If this bribery
scheme was cOncocted simply to kill off
Depew, Conkling and his supporters
should be made to feel the reaction
promptly; and certainly the investiga
ton thus far puts Bradley in anything
but Il pleasant position. Such tactics
are very apt to be employed in heat
ed political contest, but they should
always fail +; men who are bought into
high places are not the men wanted.
So far as the Albany contest is con-
cerned, it seems as far from its end as
ever, and just how far the farce will
Ice allowed to continue it is impossible
to tell. We see no reason of prolOng
ing the agony. Conkling cannot he

Administration men can make short
work of him if they will but unite on
Depew or some other available candi-
date. Depew leads with some fifty
eight votes, but possibly is not the
man upon whom the party can unite.
The country is getting about tired of
the Albany show,and wants the curtain
runT down.

movements closely, the wearing of a
pistol accustoms a man or boy to
think of that weapon habitually rs his
defense and his attack. To a man
without a weapon. the clenched fist is
the armor and the weapon. The ordi-
nary man thinks always of his fist, if
his physical safety is imperiled. But
the boy who has lugged around pistol
for six years has ceased to think of his
fist, except as grasping the butt of re-
volver. Herein lies the danger of car
rying concealed weapons. They be-
come part of the man, and his momen-
tary anger deals deadly execution by
their aid, when otherwis2 clinch and
a blow at the worst won, have served,
to be followed by the application OF
brown paper to a black and blue spot
and an apology the week after. The
accursed pistol kills and admits of no
apologies.
Sales of pistols to minors by dealers
in arms or by others ought to be pro-
hibited. Sales to the general public
ought to be prohibited and allowed
only to parties licensed by the police
authorities for good reasons to carry
weapons. Parents, school teachers and
all who have the guidance of youth
ought to be vigilant to break up an
evil practice. The pistol begets the
pistol habit, just as the whiskey-bottle
begets the Incorporate habit, and the
stilettO the Italian assassination. II
weakens Il mans reliance upon his
natural powers of self-defense, and al
the pinch betrays him to his own de
structiOn.

The Pistol Habit.

Dwight, a l7ycars- boy of Spring
field, Mass, shot and killed his half
brother, Charles ID. Kidder, man 81
years old, with a family. They had
angry words over criticism of the
boys action because he allowed his
father, who had been ill. to 90 out, as
the elder brother thought, too soon.
An alteration occurred in front of the
elder brothers house, when the boy
drew pistol and shot him dead. On
this habit of carrying deadly weapons.
the Springfield Republican has these
words, which fit other localities. and
are not amiss here
A young man just ut lifc's threshold
has slain his brother, under circum-
stances perhaps of provocation, but
which would not have led to serious
consequences if he had not had a re-
volver in his pocket. The crime is de
plorable and brutal it cuts off the
head of family in his prime, loads a
youth with a burden of penalty and
remOrse, and wrecks the peace and I'M
covers the privacy of two families, all
whose other griefs and discords were
trivial to this. Young Kidder has car
ried pistol, he says, since he was IL
years old, and he attributes his pres
ent miserable plight to that evil habit.
The trouble is exactly this,-and it
is very slightly apprenticeship car
rying of a pistol engenders the pistol
habit. Just as the wearing of "A watch
accustOms busy man to time his

Sunday Trains.

The superintendent of the Central
Vermont road is sound on the subject
of Sunday trains, and has lately writ
ten letter on the subject for which
the public will thank him. 1t was in
reply to n request from the Grand Army
Post at BrattlebOro for a Sunday train,
and was us follows:
at is entirely useless to apply for
Sunday trains, because our rules re-
garding such trains are positive, and
we cannot under any circumstances
vary them unless in case of distress,
like death or destruction of property
know you will, upon reflection, see
the propriety of our taking this stand,
as we should otherwise run into an en-
couragement of all sorts of Sunday
gatherings which inevitably cover a
great amount of drunkenness, swear
ing and carousing. The public, so far,
fully sustain lis i'll our position, and
even those interested in camp meetings
and other religious gatherings, espec-
tally desire that we should not vary
the rule. You can readily see that I'M
less we have such rule we cannot
easily discriminate between religious
meetings without getting into trouble
at once

A tribute to the value of the revised
Testament is paid by Rev. Josiah Ty-
Ter, missionary to South Africa who
has lately returned to this country.
Mr. Tyler has for several years been
engaged in TRANSMITTING the Bible from
the original Greek to the Zulu Ian
guage, and, having literally been at
the root of the matter, is qualified to
give an opinion on the revision which
is of some value. After careful eX-
animation of the revised Testament he
tcstifics to its excellence. The present
version, we believe, required about
fifty years for its introduction and
adoption. If the new version is to be
adopted at all, it will be done in less
than fifty years, since the facilities for
its introduction are vastly superior to
those which welcomed the version of
King James.

Endorsing Garfield.

Senator Sherman made speech to
had something to say about bosses and
Garfield's administration-asf follows:
There are some things, my country
men, about Ohio pOlitics-we have no
room in this country for a leader who
commands and dictates. We are a
great people. Our conventions are
gathered from all parts of our broad
state, brought here as free men. There
never has been and there never will be
room for a primate or boss. The man
who attempts it had better make his
will beforehand; and, fellow-citizens,
congratulate you upon the suspicious
opening of the Administration OF
James A. Garfield. We know office
seeking is undoubtedly the proper pur-
suit of mankind. There may be some
disappOintments, because there are
fewer places to fill than men willing to
fill them. But, in the main, the gen
eral principles and policy of this Ad-
ministration are i'll harmony with the
aspirations of the Republican party.
The people of Ohio are satisfied with
the Administration, | believe, as it now
stands. | believe | can say, in add
vance of the resolution that has been
or will he offered, that Gen. Garfield
has the emphatic approval of the Re
publicans of Ohio in the course he has
pursued thus far. Let him further adj
vance the public credit, let him punish
all who do wrong, let him give us an
administration pure, simple and Re
publican, worthy of a nation like ours,
and we will send him our approval
twice over again. But, my country
men, we have something to do in this
task we have got to emphasize our
approval by indorsing this Admins
tration in the election of the Republi-
can ticket thiS fall

jefferson Davis has published his
book, "The Rise and Fall of the Con-
federacy." Coming from such a source
it will he accepted as an official account
of the Southern side of the great re-
bellion. In it he criticises the Union
generals very severely and some of the
Confederate commanders. He believes
in secession to-day as much as ever,
and regards it as a necessity for sue
ccssful government. In the book he
points ont many errors which have
spread concerning the internal man
agement of his side of the rebellion.
This is his last chance to strike blow
for the confederate states and he
makes the best of it. The book bris-
ties with denunciatOry attacks and is
characterized by bitter, sullen spirit
which is uncalled for after twenty
years of peace.

The Germans of the country are
aroused, for President Garfield has
touched them in a tender spot and they
consider themselves liable to be i'm
posed upon. The President has in
mind the appointment of Mr.. Kahls,
of Indiana, rs consul general to Berlin ;
but the German press here have united
in an effort to prevent Kalls' nOmina-
ton, opposing him on these grounds
He has voted with temperance people,
is i'll favor of female suffrage, and an
tagonizes the German interests on the
liquor question, etc. When the Ger
mans beer is molested, he very quickly
ferments; and so the opposition to
kahls is very natural.
