We are on the war-path-we have
delayed our march on to Richmond
until We are completely surrounded
by the enemy-and the only sue
cessfully conquer is to fight. Live
or die, survive or perish-we will go
down heroes to our graves. POliti-
cally we are an American citizen,
with inalienable constitutional rights
to vote for or against whom he
please. We will take no more pO-
litieal promises; we are no longer
tools, to be usec once or twice a
a year, or when needed; we do not
fear any man or party. The present
condition of American politics is al
most too disgusting to be tolerated.
On one side we have wickedness,
blood curdlings and Outragcs on
the other side we have blunders,
thievery, ineapacity and hypOcracy ;
and on neither side is there anything
for the colored man. Our time has
come to speak, think and act--CN-
ored Citizen.

DR.. f. Paddock, on Tuesday, in at
tempting to haul 800 lbs. of meal with
four-horse team from King q
Stevens mill, to his home, found it
necessary before reaching Brass Ball

might draw the wagon out of mud
hole, fact which shows the present
condition Of the roads.
The Hagel Co., having sold their ice
houses in Indiana some weeks ago,
have, in consequence, enlarged their
plans at Salem Station, and will hence
forth make it their headquarters.
They are grading as fast as the
weather will permit, it being the first
step towards erecting five, if not more,
colossal ice houses, probably some time
in the fall. Said houses will be so con-
structed as to embrace three buildings
under one cover, the dimensions of a
single building being 258 fl. long, 80 It.
wide, and 80 it. high. The company
shipped a carload Of ice from Salem
Station on Friday, and the incident Of
loading the car was a thrilling expert
ence with the elevator by Mr.. G. E.
Clark. 1t happened there was some
difficulty in removing a cake of ice
from the elevator, so with his usual
alacrity Mr.. Clark lent a helping hand,
and, ere he was aware. the elevator in
starting to ascend, caught him under
the chin, lifting him from the ground
and still carrying him up. As Elijah
went up to heaven in chariot with
horses, so the eye-witnesses of the
scene thought Mr.. Clark was going in
an elevator. Fortunately, however,
too lads, Gurnsey Van VIE and Leslie
MINIS, were the heroes of the moment.
Quick as thought, they succeeded in
lowering the elevator, so Mr.. Clark
was able to extricate himself, after
having received an ugly wound on the
neck. The community congratulate
him upon his narrow escape, while the
courage and presence Of mind dis
played by his preseryers compel admit
ration.
Salem Station is afflicted with

people who by their ballots placed

that they can enact certain laws, the
benefit to be directly derived by them.
II member of Congress can send
matter through the mails free of pos

less fortunate Individual, who has to
Stamp his letters? If we take the right
view Of The matter, the bill is one that
will not pass the House, and we sim
cerely nope it will not, for several
reasons. 1st. 1t has tendency to
create manifestations Of derision by
the better informed 2nd. The bill
is unconstitutional, as it gives priyl-
leges to few which it does not grant to
many. Ord. 1t would make the tax
of the laboring man just that much
higher, for although our postal depart
ment is nearly self-sustaining, it would
not sustain that drain without its be-
ing seriously felt. We have great
deal of respect for the senator from
the Green Mountains, but we sincerely
hope that this franking bill will meet
in the House the opposition it Justly
deserves; but il it should not, the bill
will receive its death blow by the Pres
ident in his veto.

The bill redistricting the state into
Congressional districts has passed both
houses Of our legislature and now
awaits the Governors sanction to be-
come y law. The bill will give us one
more member in Congress, and a Re-
publican member at that, unless the
political complexion of some Of the
counties change materially. The only
objection to the bill that could be
raised is the peculiar and outlandish
shape Of the districts, and even this is
no very great objection when we look
at it from a political point of view
What we want is a Republican Con
gress, and if dividing our state into
queer-shaped districts will help to Sc
cure it why then we should not com
plain.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20, 1892
Right about face! The national pol
icy of the United States, which has
been observed for more than hundred
years, is now reversed. And why this
sudden change of front? 1t is found
there are in this country one hundred
thousand Chinese. The population of
the United States being over fifty mil
lions, gives one Chinaman to every five
hundred of our population. This in
finitesimal infusion of The Chinese ele-
ment, it is alleged, will lead to the up
heaval of the Government, the over
throw Of our. religious institutions,
disrupt society, tread down American
labor, and produce other untold mis-
chiefs. 1t cannot be otherwise than
humiliating to a citizen of this great
Republic to be told that our Govern
ment rests on so frail basis; that our
religious institutions are so feeble, our
educational and industrial interests so
weak, that we cannot endure the pres
ence of comparatively a handful of
Mongolians.
The vote of the eight members from
Wisconsin on the Chinese bill was
given, FIVE for, and three against.
Guenther and Duester, members from
Wisconsin, made speeches in favor of
the bill. Both of these gentlemen de
clared themselves to be foreign born,
and they came to this free country to
better their condition, as other foreign
ers do. Williams, of Wisconsin, made
an able and argumentative speech on
the Chinese bill. Whatever differences
of opinion there may be as to the
eXpediency of prohibiting Chinese i'm
migration, all who read the speech of
Mr.. Williams will admit that he met
the question fairly, logically and elo-
quently.
Now that the bill has passed, we
shall in due time know how it is re-
garded by the Chinese government.
That most populous empire on the
globe, with its vast industrial interests,
not long ago opened its ports to the
commerce Of the United States, hold
ing out prospectiyely All almost I'M
limited outlet for our surplus Ameri-
can productions. VIII the empire now
close its ports against the United
States? If it does not, then it will
show the Chinese possess more large
ly the virtue of forbearance than is
common to other nations.

At the city convention Oh Tuesday
Afternoon strong ticket was placed
IN the field, and one that IS we'll worthy
Of success. When such man as Geo.
d. Head is placed on o ticket for
Mayor, and the banner carrier for our
party, we may we'll congratulate our
selves that we have o ticket that none
ean scoff al or find fault with. The
fact that the caucuses were we'll and
enthusiastically attended can partly be
attributed to the article in the TELE-
GRAPH last week. We are to have no
grumbling this year, but a good, solid
government that can be relied upon to
do its duty in such manner that no
flaw can he found in the administra-
ton.
Horace Clark received the nomina-
tion for Treasurer. He is a man well
qualified for the Office, and man in
whom dependence can be placed.
Samuel Johnson, the nominee for
City Clerk, is q man we'll yersed in
clerical work, and in whose hands the
business appertaining to that office
can safely be trusted.
Col, III. McDermott received the
nomination for assessor, and we are of
The opinion that he will make a good
man in the place The Office Of assessor
is the most important one to the tax
payer, and rs the Colonel was the NOM
inee of The taxpayers we predict for
him sure election and by good ma
jOrity.
O. s. Newell was the choice of the
convention for Justice of the Peace.
What we need for a Justice is a man
honest, of good understanding, of
legal lore, and one that will do his
duty scrupulously and unbiased by
public opinion. As Mr. Newell has
these qualifications, his election is sure.
John Mcconnell is the candidate for
Marshal No city officer has the
work to do that falls to the let of the
Marshal He must be out in all kinds
Of weather; he must see that our
streets are kept clean of all kinds of
social scum, and be Il constant guar
dian of the city's peace. Mr.. Neon
nell will do all this, and our citizens
may rest assured that he will do his
duty.
Good men have been nominated from
each ward for Aldermen, and our gov
eminent for the ensuing year will be
Republican, as it should, be if all the
nominees receive the hearty co-opera-
tion they deserve Remember that
election comes but once a year, and
men elected for these various offices
on Tuesday next will hold their posi-
tions for that length of time, so see to
il that our ticket receives every vote
that Justly belongs TO it.
