100000 out of the country. The immi-
grants who come here will bring only a
very light percentage of that sum.
AlphOnsO Hart, once of Portage, and

The Assistant POstmaster-G General (the
POstmaster-GeneTal, by the way, seems
to be permanently bottled up has again

Col. Frank WOlfOrd, whose reputation
in the Federal army is known of all
men, will be the Democratic candidate
! for Congress in the Eleventh Kentucky
| district. His Republican opponent will
be Capt. David R. Carr, who served in the
same regiment.
The Naval Appropriation Bill retaTds
promotion and abOlishes the grade of

will be brought to bear to amend it. The
| navy now consists mainly of officers and
uniforms, and all of the officers will be
| opposed to reduction.
SecOr Robson was again reminded in
the House the other day that he is a
thief, liar and perjurer. These ac-
cusatiOns are so common against this
Republican leader In Congress that he
takes them with the meekness of a
martyr.
Republican papers are abusing the
brewers on account of the report that
they will support the Democratic ticket
this year. 1t hasn't been long since the
Republican editors stood over their col
umns with clubs to keep out anything
that might be disrespectful to the brew
ers.
The Republican Congress has not had
time to reduce taxation a penny, but it
has taken time to add twenty-five mil
lions of dollars to the yearly expenses
of the Government, unseat half dozen
Southern Democrats and put in the
places of some of them negro penitenti
ary birds.
The laboring men working on the Iron
Mountain railroad, in Arkansas, have re-
vOlted against having convict labOrers
associated with them, and blOOdshed is
expected before the trouble is settled.
Governor Churchill declares that he will
protect the cOnvicts and theimen threat
en- armel resistance.
The work of the American marines at
Alexandria seems to have been confined
to buTying the dead and preventing
lOOting. The English are so grateful
for this assistance that it is possible
they will present each of our brave tars
with brass medal-perhaps modelled
after those awarded to the noble 306 at
Chicago.
The Republican Congressional fight
in the Seventeenth District is now open
again, and there is more hair in the air
than there was before the Convention at
st tClairsVille adjourned. The waters are
troubled. There is need of the services
of some peaceful person with an Oil-can.
We again recommend st. Smith, of
Noble county.
The American Admiral at Alexandria
got up the most magnificent Fourth of
July celebration ever given in the world.
He had the fleets of all nations engaged
in it, and all the steamers decked in
flags. The British good naturedly par
ticipated, and in the splendid salutes
from their war vessels paid us with in
terest for the salute of the British flag
at Yorktown.
BUFFALO, July 29.-Judgment was to-
day recorded for three hundred and
ninety-two thousand dollars in favor of
David COwles, representing the Standard
Oil Company. against the Atlas Refining

three months ago to COwles.
The present year has proved strangely
and unprecedentedly fatal to United
States Ministers Resident in foreign
countries. Gen. JudsOn Fitzpatrick, in
Chilli; Gen. s. A. Hurlburt, in Peru; DR..
Garnet, in Liberia; and now Mr.. George
P. Marsh, in Italy, have all fallen vic
Tins to death since the beginning of the
year, and it is but little more than half
over.
FRANKLIN, Pa, July 29.-Cashier j. N.
Croft of the Exchange Bank, defaulted
to-day to the amount of $4,000 The de-
falcatiOnl was discovered by the book
keeper. he having covered his embezzle
ments by false entries. When confronted
with the evidence he admitted the facts,
and said he had lost the money speculat-
ing in oil. The stockholders raised
100000 to meet the demands on the
bank. They are individually liable, and
represent 100000.
No Republican in or out of Congress
can now venture to deny that the cOun-
try raises more revenue than it needs.
With hundred millions in a lump for
pensions largely fraudulent, nearly
nineteen millions in lump for alleged
river and harbor improvements mostly
jobs, and ten millions more or less for
public buildings mostly unnecessary
and all extravagant, it is patent to the
whole country that every dollar of sur
plus is simply dollar to be squandered.
And with all these gigantic and unpre-
cedented jobs there seems to be difficult
ty in exhausting the surplus.
