FineSse and SLrataonn,

FineSse and Stratagem.
The Charleston Is. CO. Ne,es and
Courier comes openly to the defense of
the frauds by which the Democrats have
carried that State. at says they have
but choice of evils" and that, "un-
less they resort to finesse and stratagem
In converting minority into MAORI
ty, the negroes will rule.
This is all that has been charged
against them. Is is this very thing =
this strategy by which they defeat the
popular will by which they "convers q
minority into a majority, for which
they have been held up for public con-
domination.
O'Connor converted minority into
majority. Tillman converted q mi.
nority into a majority. The NeaOs de-
Tended both acts. And the Demo-
Gratis filibustered, delayed public bust
ness and solidly sustained the frauds by
which it was done. They claimed the
Democrats we're lawfully elected. They
will make the same claim before the
people this fall. But the NeaUS and
Courier admits In effect that they were
elected only by the " finesse and strata
gem which converted a minority into a
majority"
For "fnesse read "perjury," for
tstratagem " read theft" and the
fnesse and stratagem by which the
thing was done are perfectly defined.
And the Democrats of the North,
after they have sworn and sworn again
that the thing was all fair, honest and
above board, are put in very bad posi-
ton by having one of the parties to the
perjury and theft admit the crime and
claim it as a virtue, because It is neees-
sary to save them from negio rule.
Nothing can justify the wrongs
they defend. The majority is the ma
iority. It's right of numbers is para
mount. And any finesse or stratagem
which defeats it is a crime against free
government. No necessity is a defense
for it. And no picture of necessity can
gloss it over It is crime-a high
crime. The Republican party has done
something toward defeating it by purg-
ing Congress of some of the people
whose claims rested on this finesse.
But its work will never be complete
until this fnesse and stratagem are
made impossible Detroit Post.

Prof. r. L. Cumnock.

The next entertainment of the Lecture
Course will be given Thursday evening of
next week by Prof r. L. Cumnock, the
elocutionist and dramatic reader. He has
achieved unexampled success in almost all
the principal cities of the United States.
Every one should hear him. He viii un-
doubtedly give one of the best entertain
ments of the course. We give very few
press notices and will follow with others
next week, showing what others think of
him:
His presentations were to the life, his
facial expression wonderful, and his elocu-
ton throughout faultless.-ChicagoT goTimes.
Many good readers have come TO us from
the West, but Prof R L. Cumnock, of the
Northwestern University of Illinois, who
read at the Church of Christian Endeavor
last night, surpasses them all. Instead of
program of dialect pieces, anecdotes from
newspapers, and hackneyed elocutionary
selections, he delighted the assembly with
inimitable interpretations of classical En-
glish.-Brooklyn Daily Times.
Prof. Cumnock's reading in Lyceum
Hall, last Friday evening" was well attend
ed, and probably the most successful en-
tertainment, in point of merit, which Nor
ristown. has been treated to this season.
We never witnessed so thorough and CON-
plete blending of smiles and tears as the
Professor wrought in an audience compos-
ed of our best people.-Morris Co. On, j.
Chronicle.
Prof R. L. Cumnock, of the Northwest
ern University, gave a most delightful en-
tertainment at the Methodist Episcopal
Church, to a large audience. Mr.. Cum
nock's selections were largely of a humor-
Gus character, and while everybody expect
ed something really very fine from the
elocutionist, no one was in the least disap-
pointed. The happy faces and expressions
of satisfaction from the audience as they
left the house testified to the fact. The
reader said goodnight to his audience
while they were grinning, smiling and
roaring over the rendition of the Georgia
Sermon" and while, like the parson in the
account of the Foxes Tails" we may
seem to exaggerate little by saying It,
we wouldn't wonder if many are smiling
yet-Beloit (Wis) Daily Free Press, De
cember 3, 1881.

SxTY-sN Ohio editors, with thirty
wives and eleven children, went down to
Tennessee, last Friday to enjoy themselves
in warmer and more pleasant climate.
According to the account of an unfeeling
reporter who accompanied them, they
were hundred and ten shivering, hungry,
thirsty, and generally miserable mortals
when they arrived at Chattanooga, where
they learned that all Tennessee was shiv-
ering and budding itself together in a vain
endeavor to get warm. Then the sixiy-six
wished they were home sitting around
their editorial stoves, and the thirty three
occupied themselves with scolding the
eleven, and nagging as many of thessixty-
six as they had legal claims to.-Cleveland
Herald.
If We were ever disposed to envy editors
free to get away on December vacation
and excursion, we were not anxious to
share that kind of misery this year; and
at home, between the glowing CRATE and
the summer warmth of well fired furnace,
that particularly cold December day was
as comfortable as any other.

Serious Accident.

Mr.. Tom. Davidson, son of DIR. Davidson,
in the employ of N. Huckins s. Co., while
unloading a car of lumber on Monday,
met with an accident which near
ly cost him his life, and if he recoy-
ers may leave him with permanent
disabilities. He was standing on the
ground with his back to the car when a
thousand feet or.more of lumber fell over
from the car, striking him upon the shoul-
ders and back and burying him beneath it.
He received severe internal injuries and
injury to the spine, which has produced
partial paralysis of the lower portion of
the body and limbs, which it was at first
feared would result fatally, but at this
writing the symptoms are little more
favorable, and it is hoped he may make a
good recovery. He was carried directly to
his fathers, after the accident, and is being
treated by his father and DR.. McClaren.

Telephone EAhange Secured.

The necessary number Of subscribers to
the exchange have finally been secured,
and the company informs US that men will
be on hand to begin work Dec. 25th, 1882.
We hope, however, the number will not
be allowed to stand at twenty-five. The
benefits of the exchange increase with
every additional subscriber, and in town
OF the size of this it ought to be put into
private homes until the number of instru-
ments in use is increased to seventy-five.
A number more of business houses ought
to avail themselves OF its advantages, and
then the Lorain County Telephone Co, and
the Midland Telephone Co. ought to lose
no time in giving us connection with Cleve-
land, which would be of much greater ad.
vantage to us than any of the local benefits
we may derive from it.

II. has often been said that misfortunes
never come singly, but it may with equal
truth be asserted that good fortunes come
in groups as well. For example, Yelling
ton has had series of years of unexam-
pied growth and prosperity in the midst
of which comes a new railroad, now a new
telegraph line with improved apparatus
such as the most sanguine never dreamed
OF, of,nowatelephone exchange, and last, a COM
pany prospecting with reference to put
ting gas works into our town. If the cor
poration will engage to use it for our
streets, and it can be introduced into our
business and private houses, itmay be pos
sible to have it in running order within
the coming year. We understand that one
or two gentlemenwill be in town the last

Unless we are to have new Town Hall
in reasonable time it would seem that it
would pay to re-seat Horr, Warner d Cos
Hall and make ii comfortable for such en-
tertainments as are worthy of patronage.
In every other respect the room looks
cheerful and inviting, with only the objec-
ton that it is too far removed from the
ground to be easy of access. We have
noticed, however, that this objection is not
so serious but that people can overcome it
readily enough when. anything is offered
worthy their patronage. In fact the objec-
ton Is more fancied than real, and of little
force save with respect to the aged and in
firm, and but for the fact that it is a little
less comfortable than some other places,
there would be very little complaint.

Attention, Bee Keepers.

The Bee Keepers of Lorain County are
invited to meet in the court room of the
new court house at Elyria, Dec. Goth, at 10
o'clock a. m, for the purpose of organizing
a Bee Keepers Society. Two hundred bee
keepers in the county, representing 4,50O
colonies of bees, which have produced
$4,000 pounds of honey this season, and
when we take into consideration that this
has been an unusually poor year for honey,
it looks encouraging to the apiarist. So
let every one interested in agriculture foot
up his summers work and come prepared
to say something on the subject.

The Bogus Subscription Agent.

In October and November, a smooth
faced, well-dressed young man, calling
himself Mr.. Mason, canvassed Wellington
and Oberiin and probably other townships
hereabout, getting subscribers to Demor-
est's Monthly, $2.00 magazine, for 81 80.
One lady who gave him her name came
into the ENTKRPRfsE Office next morning
expressing doubts as to his reliability, and
making inquiries about the agent and the
magazine. AS we had filed the order of
q stranger stopping at the Cottage Hotel
here, for four copies of the November num-
berof Demorest's Monthly, who said that
he wanted them to mail to his four sisters,
an improbable number in one family to
need fashion magazine, we had no doubt
that he and Mr.. Mason were identical, and
that he used the numbers to supply sub
scribers in order to get the money.
Mrs +. S. Wadsworth, who has acted as
agent for that monthly for many years,
wrote to the publishers, and their answer,
which is before us, says they haveno agent
by the name Of Mason, and have received
no names or money from any such person
in this place or elsewhere. He claimed to
have obtained twenty subscribers here,
and how many in other towns hereabout,
we do not know, but no magazines have
come TO these subscribers through the P.
o. yet, and it is not at all probable that
any ever will
We are not at all surprised to have our
suspicious confirmed. We had no doubt
that this Mason was a swindler, and if we
had not been so thoroughly occupied with
other affairs, would have taken pains to
find out the truth weeks ago. We are sor-
~ for his victims, bat the papers are warn-
ing the public every week Of the year

We are not in the habit Of pulling any sort
