A PROTEST
AgRinst Changing the KuieS for tho Gov.
ernment OF pii0tx Oh the River.


ernment OF Pilots Oh the River.
WASHINGTON, August 26.-Lctters have
been received here from St. Louis and
other localities protesting against Il change
in the rules for the government Of pilots
on Western rivers. The Indications are
that the petitions from Wheeling
and Pittsburgh will meet with con.
siderable opposition from this source,
at the next annual meeting OF the Board Of
Supervising Inspectors. Attention is called
in these letters to rule No. 9, which, II It
had been observed by hepilots Of the Sci
otto and Lomas, would have prevented n
collision, admitting that rule No. is in
the slightest degree defective. In view
OF the prominence which has been
given this subject Of the rules in
connection with the recent terrible
loss OF life on the Ohio river, and the as.
strtion made by certain pilots that the
change made in the method OF signalling
passing steamers under the new rule was
the cause OF the disaster. Rule No. .,
which has not been changed and is not
complained Of, is here given. It's proper
observance makes a collision impossible.
This rule Is as follows:
Rule .. Should steamers be likely to pass
near each other, and these signals should
not be made and answered by the time
such boats shall have arrived at the dis.
lance Of 500 yards from each other, the en-
gines OF both boats shall be stopped; or
should the signal be given and not proper
ly understood from any cause whatever,
both bouts shall be backed until their
headway shall be fully checked, and the
engines shall not be again started ahead
until the proper signals are made, answered
and understood. Doubts or fears OF mis-.
understanding signals shall be expressed
by several short sounds Of the whistle in
quick succession gg~...

plTrspunGH, August 27.-Yestcrday a
gentleman who is member OF the Anal.
gamatcd Association, in a conversation
with a reporter said: "I hear it from the
best authority that the backsmiths at Viii
son 4 Walkers arc now working on iron
that has very recently been brought into
the mill. Now, when these men went TO
work it was with the understanding that
they we're to work long enough to use up
some iron remaining when the strike was
inaugurated, and, and when this was done
they were to stop, but il iron come in and
they kent at work the resumption was TO
be permanent and not temporary, as was
understood
The gentleman in question further said
that this report, il true, was not of much
importance in itself, but it was merely
another illustration Of the willingness with
which the strikers resume work upou auy
sort Of an adjustment which allows them to
return to the. mill and still retain their
standing in the organization. The associ.
alton officials when spoken to upon the
matter were not inclined TO give any def.
mite opinion in regard TO whether the nc.
ton OF these blacksmiths was in conformity
with the rules OF their organization. i

that Il secret meeting oil the district was
being held but inquiry proved that the re.

We, the Republican County, Convention

and allegiance to the principles Of the Re-
publican party. .., ,.L,.i.
Re@lred.- That we are in favor OF equal
rights, equal burdens and equal benefits to
all the citizens OF the State.
Second-That the Free Schools must be
maintained rs basis OF National security,
and the funds collected for that purpose
must be sacredly preserved for educational
purposes alone.
Third-That the Bourbon Democrats.
who have been in power for ten years past
in this State, have disregarded their prom.
ises and the interests OF the tax payers.
They have increased the number aud pay
Of the officers; have held frequent, lengthy
and expensive sessions OF the Legislature,
have enacted absurd and inconsistent
laws, have violated the Constitution by in.
curing State debt prohibited by it, and
iai]ing to provide for the payment thereof,
except by the reassessment and increased
value Of the real estate OF the people, thus
making the industrial and producing
classes bear the greater share OF tho bur.
dens OF Government. IS
Fourth.-They, the so.called Democracy
OF the State, have robbed the children OF
their vested inheritance, by diyerting the
School Fund from its legitimate purpose,
in order to meet the demands OF their
own blunders and extravagances, and have
for partisan purposes, violated the Consti.
tuition by increasing the number Of Sena'
torial districts. s. Z
Fiith.-That we firmly believe in the
right OF petition. and therefore demand OF
the Legislature that they give the people oi
the State an opportunity to vote on Con.

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1882-12-08

The most successful thinkers are usu-
ally frugal in their habits OF eating and
drinking; vet this is not always true, as
in the case of Dickens and Bayard Tay-
Tor: but these men died long before
their time. Careful living would,
without doubt, have enabled them to
extend their lives many years, and to
give much ripper productions to the
world.
Sir Isaac Newton was q close stu
dent. and lived to be more than four
score years of age. He used to say
that he could not think clearly until
more than five hours had elapsed after
a meal. The most eminent men OF our
time are very careful ivers. A. 1.
Stewart, the merchant prince of Ameri-
ca, lived frugally, and Jay Gould, the
richest man on the continent to-day, is
said to be the most abstemious. Com
modore Vanderbilt was exemplary in
this respect, as were Horace Greeley,
Abraham Lincoln, Salmon p. Chase
Edward Everett and John 9. Calhoun
1t is said that when Henry Ward
Beecher expects to make an unusual eff
fort in public, he postpones a meal, if
it comes near the hour of his lecture,
and waits until he Is rested afterward
before he eats anything; and he has
every prospect of being hale old man.
We might mention Ralph Waldo En-
erson and Bronson Alcott, whose wis
dom takes in the very important con-
Germ of caring for the needs of the body
in the very best sense. /
People cannot eat their loaf and
keep it at the same time. They cannot
squander their vital force in high liv-
ing and continue to give their best eff
fort to the world. A man ought to be
able to write his best after he is seven
ty, for then he has had experience
enough TO show him how to begin to
live. When we think of such men as
Humboldt, Longfellow and Whittier,
doing their best work in the evening of
their lives, we feel conscious of lack
in the abridged existence of Dickens,
Poe and Byron. We feel satisfied
when men die of old age; but mourning
memory fingers long at the grave of ge-
MUS cut down by dissipation before its
time.

Is the Pig u Nuisance!

Is the pig nuisance in the village?
He is, and he is not, just as he is man.
aged. On the farm, he has his place
yet, as an indispensable worker, and
cheap source of food and fertilizers
But in the village, where esthetics some-
times Interfere with profits, people are
getting fastidious, and avoid the pig
pen as nuisance. 1t would be nuis-
ance perhaps under the ewes of the
dwelling, managed III almost any way.
But at the back end of the village lot,
where the barn, if there is one, is loca-
ted, there the sty may be safely placed
without offense to eye, ear, or nostril,
and with decided profit. 1t is the cheap
est source Of good pork, ham, shoulder,
sausage, head-cheese, and lard, that
villager can have. As manufacturer
of fertilizers for the village garden, the
pig cannot be beaten. He turns every
weed, sod, vegetable, fruit, and all
kitchen waste into gold. "Ah! but he
squeals!" Then feed him more, and he
will be quiet as lamb, all day and all
night. "Ah! but the pen is unsightly!"
That is your fault, not his. Even the
sty has it's esthetics, and it may be made

you like well, he smells badly, any
way" No, sir. Not il yor take proper
care of him. Give him sheltered bow
or for his nest, and plenty Of straw or
leaves, anfhe will keep his bed ~ clean
rs parlor. Give him plenty Of muck
or peat, garden soil, head lands, or alb
serbents of any kind, and he will so
thoroughly observe the Mosaic law in
regard to animal wastes, that no neigh
Dor of yours shall mistrust that q pig is
within n mile of your premises. The
health committee of the village will
never smell you out, or enter complaint
against your sty. Do not lay your sins
OF commission ut the door Of the dumb
beast. He has his esthetic side, and on
ly requires a fair share of attention to
be made ornamental as well as useful.
