HON. ANDREW Roy, State Inspector
Of Mines, made us pleasant call on
Monday, and we gathered some i'm
portant facts from him.
e'says the superior quality Of the
Jackson county coal is putting it into
market very rapidly. He says that
this year there will be shipped from
this county three hundred and fifty
thousand tons. There are now in op-
Grafton forty mines, besides number
of smaller banks opened by individu-
ais. There are about twelve hundred
miners now engaged, besides about
one hundred boys, and some two to
three hundred men at the outside
work, making some fifteen to sixteen
hundred persons now regularly en-
ployed in and about the mines.
Mr.. Roy says that within the next
five or six years there will be mined in
Jackson county million tons of coal,
and all the country between Jackson,
and Coalton, and Wellston, will be a
continuous town, and the population
Of the county will be increased ten
thousand.
Mr.. Roy is very sanguine about the
vast increase in population, wealth,
and moral progress in our county, and
he is making permanent improve
ments on his farm, between Coalton
and Wellston, and we are glad of that,
as it indicates that he is going to stay.
He is valuable citizen. A new
school district has been formed where
he lives, fine two-story school house
has been built, and William Patterson,
brother of Ex-Auditor Patterson, will
teach their school the coming winter.

To the Editors of the Standards:
Please permit me, through your es-
timable journal, to submit a few per-
tinent questions to Republicans of
Jackson County.
l. Have we, the colored voters of
this county, erred, in supposing that
the Republicans whenever their nu-
merical strength was sufficiently in
tended to carry out the principle en-
bodied in their platform?
g. If such was not your intention,
have you not misled US by your
campaign speeches, and deluded US by
your resolves in convention assem-
bled?
3. Have not the colored voters of
this county been loyal to the interests
of Republicans since the initiation of
the former into politics?
4. Do you desire the continued 10y
atty of the colored element in this
county?
5. If so, how shall we harmonic
your conduct Of last Tuesday toward
our first candidate for county Office? ?
6. What reply shall we make to
Democrats when they tell US that we
are only the slaves of the Republican
party; that it was not your intention
to have negro Recorder from the
first; that it was only farce to mol
lily us? Shall we acknowledge the
corn, in the face of these facts, or
shall we lie for you, and say that you
did your best for us?
Z. Do you hold that we have not
liquidated the debt Of gratituded to
the Republican party for our condi-
ton as freemen?
s. Do you think that we do not
know that the changing of our condi-
ton was more a military necessity,
than mere act of sympathy?
9. Was it not for self interest that
you abolished slavery? was it not at
tempting to usurp all Of your valua-
BILE territories; crushing out free men
and free institutions in its march;
would it not have been more disas-
trous to American industry than
Mongolian immigration?
10. If, then, self preservation i'm
PEELED you, why hold US eternally in
debted for benefits received?
II. Did not the according of citi-
zenship to US contain a larger per-
centage of political policy than it did
of philanthropy?
II. Should not the military services
of over two hundred thousand colored
troops be credited on our side Of the
account for citizenship?
13. Do you remember that we offer
ed our services to our country when
the war began, and were refused on
account of color?
IA. Do you remember that when
you did accept us to recruit your shat

future.

There is a good deal Of enterprise in
the people Of Jackson county, and
they have one paper which is an expo
nent of this spirit, and this paper is
the Jackson Standard.
The county of Jackson comprises
some 500 square miles, more or less,
and now has Is election precincts,
some Of which have the places of
holding elections from 10 to Is miles
from the county seat The polls at
all the elections last week closed at 6
o'clock, and at 2 o'clock on Wednes-
day, or 20 hours after the polls had
been closed, the poll-books were all in
the Clerks office, had been opened, the
votes all counted and taken down, we
had copied them, all the figures had
been put in type, the columns added,
the forms put upon the press, and our

power press humming, and turning
off Standards at the rate Of 1000 per
hour, and at 3 o'clock, or 81 hours
after the closing Of the polls, the 463
subscribers. who get the Standard at
the Postofice in Jackson, found their
papers in the Office, ready for delivery,
with the official abstract.
No other paper in this county made
any attempt to give the returns, and
if any paper in the State gave their
subscribers the official abstract in its
county in 81 hours after the closing
of the polls, let it stand up and testify.

tered ranks, you would not give US
the same pay and bounty that white
soldiers received?
Is. Do you also remember that no
quarters were shown colored soldiers,
that to be captured meant to be
slaughtered?
Is. Do you believe that we have
sensibilities like other people, and
that we feel an insult, though we
do not always resent it?
II. Is it race prejudice that stands
between us and justice?
Is. What course do you advise us
to pursue in the future? shall we kiss
the hand that smites us, and turn the
other cheek?

ries will confer a favor on the MAORI.

Random Thoughts.
BY D. MACKLEY.

Last Sunday was one of the most
glorious fall days 1 ever saw. Clear,
still and pleasant.
At half past ten Mr.. Johnson, of
Delays livery stable, started with me
and Mrs. Mackley and our oldest grand
daughter, Miss Mollie Hawk, to the
Sunday School picnic near Columbia
Church. This is between two and
three miles north Of Jackson. We
found several pretty serious mud holes
in the road. We went up the Coal
ton road until we came to the lands
Of Isaac McGhee, and turned square
to the left. Going short distance up
hollow, we went some hundred yards
vp steep hill, past coal bank, and
there found good sized crowd of
people, surrounded in the woods by
horses, wagons, buggies, &c.
The people were singing. l took a
seat back in the crowd, when at once
Caleb Hank came to me and invited
me to the speakers stand. Iobjected.
He said l was on the programme, and
must speak at once. | went to the
stand, and Mr.. ]. r. Brown, president
of the day, announced that [ would
make speech. John T. Moore and
Mr.. Whetsel were on the stand, and
it was then near eleven o'clock, and l
never felt less like making a speech:
so l only talked some five minutes,
when there was singing, and then
John I. Moore made speech, the
most Of which was on the subject of
temperance.
Then came dinner. Mrs. Mackley
had promised to take dinner with Mr..
and Mrs. J. r. Brown, and most
bounteous dinner it was. | had half
a dozen invitations to dinner, and 7
never saw q more friendly people than
that crowd.
After dinner Mr.. Isaac McGhee,
the owner of the land where we were
assembled, told me that all the timber

A DEMOCRAT, who has more CAB
than brains, affected to greatly re-
joice, few evenings ago, because "the
women prayed all day election day for
the success of temperance, yet the
Dimocrats carried everything" Just
so! How many gears did hundreds
and thousands Of colored people pray
for the downfall of slavery-and,
when they were disheartened and dis
couraged with long praying the slave
holders suddenly wrought out, them
selves, the destruction Of the evil.

Last Saturday night was set as the time
for grand outpouring of the masses to
"jubilate" over the fact that the doggery-
keepers and Sabbath-breakers came out
ahead in the recent election. The band
was employed-but didn't toot. The
small boys gathered-but there was no
bonfire. The people of Jackson do not
gather to hear such statesmen as the three
Jims-McClung, Aleshire and Carr. The
bull was gone, and there was no attrac-
tion.
The only signs of Jubilee observable to
the wayfaring man was one poor, little,
sickly piece of fireworks, which Quin
Branson, for joke, shot off from his
peanut-roaster, on Broadway. The fact
is, there is not sober, decent Democrat
in Jackson County, who is proud of the
triumph of the "hellions" who favor un-
limited crime and drunkenness and the
desecration of the Sabbath And there
are few of these representatives of his
Satanic Majesty who have the cheek tc
get up in public and affect to rejoice ovel
it.
This will prove the worst result that
could have happened to the rumsellers
party, and many of them are beginning tt
see it.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1882-10-19

of the original forest had been cut off
to make salt. The salt water had been
run up from town to the timber. He
said that old men who had been en-
gagged in making salt had told him
that there is vein of coal six feet
thick, away down below the Coalton
or hill coal.
After a couple of hours recess we
had more singing, and then short
speech by Mr.. Whetsel, and a speech
by Adam w. Long, more singing, &c.
Now 1 will close by relating some
thing which I saw there that made a
deep impression upon my mind.
As l was going up the road I did
not feel very well, and the thought
that the Republicans Of Jackson coun-
ty, in their treatment of Mr.. Wood
son, had gone back to the barbarism
of forty years ago, and that nearly
twenty thousand Of majority Of the
people of Ohio had voted for drunken
ness and its consequent crime, pau
perism and insanity, felt depressed
and discouraged. But in this gloom
appeared ray Of pure light, as if it
cleaned from the Divine presence.
And it did. I have seen some good
men. I wish there were more Of
them.
But to the incident. While the
good women were busy spreading the
dinner, man near me put a chair on
the ground. As it was on a hillside
the chair was not level. He put it in
better place, and spread a cloth
upon the ground, and a woman sat
down on the chair and put her feet
upon the cloth. | saw that she was
an invalid. She was pale, and he1
hands looked almost transparent. She
was patient, and when her noble hus-
band was so kind and careful with her
she tried to smile, and her thin lips
seemed to be too dry to pass smoothly
over her teeth. That man remained
with his wife all the time. After din.
ner he had her seated in a buggy. HI
stood near all the time. Friends came
and talked to him, and talked to her
but he never for moment went out
of the reach Of her feeble voice. L
always touched me most painfully tt
see suffering woman who was all thu
time and always patient. If they
would become peevish, and fretful,
could not so deeply sympathize with
them [ have seen several Of thes'
! noble, unselfsh women, who tried tt
hide their own sufferings because i
. gave pain to those who most dearly
loved them. There was something 81
noble so God-like in the kind affec
ton of this man, that [ shall neve
forget him, if l never see him again
The last I saw of them, the woman
was sitting in the buggy, and the mai
was carefully leading the horse down
the steep hill. When he had go
down where the road was level ant
safe, he carefully got into the bugg,
and drove down the road. May CO.
bless them with brighter days in tn
future.

The record Of great crimes-espe-
cially murders-in this country is be-
coming absolutely appalling. Almost
daily, the great newspapers Of the
country are teeming with accounts Of
horrible butcheries. Yet the men
who encourage this kind Of thing are
the men who are just now "victori-
GUS" in the great State Of Ohio. But
there will be such a rousing up Of the
people before next fall as will effect
ually establish the fact that Ohio is
not at the mercy Of the doggeries.
