World, gives the following as his view

1T is certain, however, that even if the
Land act were perfect there would be no
peace, The people are, to put it mildly, Op-
posed to all English law simply because it
IS English. The disease. in short, can Only
be cured by repeal, and repeal is out of the
question Mr.. Gladstone may tinker and
amend and Lord Salisbury may do likewise,
but the only measure that can allay irish

MURDERED, ROBBED AND BUEEED.-L
week the awful news reached this communi-
~, says the Newport Ledger Of the 14th, that
Philip ACley, shoemaker, once a resident
of this vicinity, and who emigrated tu Ven
augO, Ellsworth county, Kansas, about four
years ago, was murdered, robbed, and his
cabin and body burned on the night OF the
2Sth of December. What makes the news
dOubly awful, is that the deed was commit
ted by young man who was also q resident
OF Newport but went West since about two
years since-William Erwin Graham, son of
Mr. Isaac Graham, of Millerstown. The per
petTatOr was arrested andtaken to Ellsworth
the county seat, and confined in jail but on
the 2d of January a mob surrounded the Jail
and took Graham out, hanging him to = tree
in front of the Court House.

THE BATTLE OF 1SS2.-Perhaps the
most important political battle of the
century is TO be fought in Pennsylv vania
in 1882. A Democratic victory then
viii assure the next Presidency to that
party, while a defeat by a decisive ma
jority will give to the Republicans an
assurance that if they can raise money
enough to buy two or three States in
1882 as they did in 1880 they may still
peTpetuate their power by the same cor
rupJ means that have secured the party
existence in the past, But, Democrat
ic success in Pennsylvania in 1882 will
depend upon the Democratic leadership
in fact, upon the nominee Of that
party for Governor. OF course. organi-
zation, systematic and thorough, is ne
cessaIy, but even that will be no good
If we do not have a leader equal TO and
worthy OF the occasion. None but
bold, brave, fighting, aggressive leader,
of great power, energy and courage will
do-in short, one to whom every Demo
crat may point as proper man. If it
be one sought by the party it will be
much better than one who seeks party
pteferment, or the mere party hOnors.
If the Democratic masses will attend to
this business, and elect none but intell-
igenU and experienced men of ability to
their convention. there will be no trOu-
bic in securing such a nominee, but tom
tit delegates are sure to nominate can
didates of the same order Clinton

AE ISHUNIAN NRETCH.-An eNtraordfna-
y instance Of human ingratitude and de-
pravity is reported frOmsthe little village Of
Ironda'e, a suburb Of Chicago. A few davs
ago Edward Mueller was stricken down with
lhe smallpox, and having no Oue-tO admins
ter 20 his wants was placed i'm most pitiabIe
condition.. Ralph johnson and his wife, a
middle aged lady, assumed the role of the
Good Samaritan, and nuTsed Mueller until
he was approaching couvalesceuce. About
10 O'Clock Friday night johnson fell asleep,
whereupOn Mueller searched his benefactor's
pants pockets, and secured his little mite
$3.50. The-wretch then visited a room in
which Mrs. Johnson was sleeping, and. after
utteriDg threats of death il she made an out
cry yiOlated-her person. Ie-then made his
escape, and has since eyaded capture. In
medlateitiy after be had quilted the place.
Airs. Johnston, who had collected her scat
tered senses, hurried to her husbands bed
side and Informed him of what had occurred.
The poor man was almost frantic. A few Of
the neighbOrs were gathered together and in
stituted search-fOr the villain, but no clew
was obtained.
