"MR. GARLAND is farmer" says
the Philadelphia Press, speaking of
the tariff commission. Mr.. Garland
is nothing of the kind. He is secre-
tary of some wool-growers' societies
and newspaper man. There is no.
body on the commission represent
ing the agricultural industry; and
this is rather thin, since the agricul-
turalists know as well as anybody
the importance of a tariff for reve-
nue. only.

The Buckeye Mower.
New York Herald I

There is q cloud in the Republican
political skies of Ohio about the size
of the average Ohio mans hand. 1t
must not be inferred from this that
the cloud is small, for the Ohio hand
is to ordinary hands what Jumbo is
to the diminutive specimens of his
own species. There Is nothing in
the Office line in the whole country
which is too large or too heavy for
the grasp of the modern Buckeye
politician. The cloud in question is
cast by q beer barrel.

IN THE STAR ROUTE TRIALS

The Irish adopted the American
potato, and made il their own.
There is another American product
which is being adopted In ireland,
just now, from which no good is
likely to accrue-that is the revolver.
Its use is becoming general over the
land, and murder is following too
frequently its crack. The state Of
affairs in Ireland, where the assas-
sinations of Objectionable farmers
and1andlords are. becoming common,
is to be greatly deplored. To the
cause of liberty of Ireland, however
much the Irish may be exasperated
and have cause for their exaspera-
ton, the world will be slow to accord
sympathy where the effort TO ameIi-
crate the condition OF the Oppressed
takes form in the way of murderous
attacks upon individuals.

ITJticR OhaArYer1

In the north the great bulk of the
colored people will probably vote
the Republican ticket as long as that
party exists. But in the south the
negro begins to vote the Democratic
state and local tickets as soon as he
owns any land, and thus has stake
in good government. There is No
more bitter foe to the csrpet-bag
and negro rule in the whole south
than the negro who has got taxes to
paw on q patch of land.

when he was an aspirant before, be.

why John d. Templeton, of For

arrested by Officer Taylor on Tuesday
night for the larceny OF a watch and
chain, valued at $l3, from a colored

boards at house on Bird street, in

learned that E!.egood left the watch in
his bed room, when he started for work

night it was not to be found Suspicion
at once rested on Annie, because she
had been in the room during the day
and was in possession of the bed room
keys. After visiting several jewelry
stores, in search of the watch, it was
found in the possession of Wilson Scraf-
ton, clock maker in Front street, to
whom the prisoner had sold the whole
rig for $l.5O. The Mayor thought the
evidence conclusive and held the priso- |
per in the sum of $500 for her appear |
ance at court, toanswer the charge.
