The Next President.

Two of the leading New York papers
have been endeavOring to point out the
next President, each one in different
way. The Times has sent letters to
over 400 points in 81 states, asking
what was the public opinion as to the
nominations of the two parties. The
answers show that for the republican
nomination Mr.. Blaine has strong
lead over any of the other numerous
candidates named, being mentioned as
the first choice of lob localities, while
President Arthur follows with 81, and
Edmunds with 81. Grant, Senator
Sherman, Logan, Lincoln, and Harri-
son follow at a long distance. with
votes numbering from - to -. On the
democratic side Tilden leads, being
favored i'll l2l localities, followed by
Mcdonald, who has 72t votes, Bayard
5I4, Hancock %, and Butler 203.
All this is interesting reading in a
dull season, but we should like to
know how many of the above letters
were addressed to practical politi-
clans" before we set down Blaine so
far ahead of better men in this Presi-
dental race. We doubt if either
Blaine or Arthur can be the next Pres
ident.
The New York Herald takes another
way of forecasting the presidential no
roscope, interviewing three well-known
editors -Mr. Dana of the Sun, Mr.. Reid
of the Tribune and Mr.. Hastings of the
Commercial Advertiser. Mr.. Hastings
believes that the tariff is to he the is
sue. Mr.. Dana, on the other hand,
thinks that issue ''nonsense," and rec
ognizes only one issue for the next
presidential campaign, and that is,
"Turn the rascals OUT Mr.. Dana is
very positive that Mr.. Tilden will not
be candidate for the presidency and
says emphatically Mr.. Tilden "is posi-
lively ont; no power can get him i'll
again" He adds ~ know that under
no circumstances will Mr.. Tilden ac-
cept the nomination, no matter how
unanimous or pressing it may be-"
Furthermore, Mr.. Dana thinks well OF
President Arthur, among the republi-
can candidates, and speaks very high
! ly of Postmaster General Gresham.
| Mr.. Hastings thinks Mr.. Arthur is the
strongest republican candidate. 'In
fact" he says, "there is nobody else
If there is, where is he Cornell is Il
dead dog. Blaine is ont. Sherman Is
out. Conkling is out and means to
keep ont. Really, Arthur seems to
have a walk over Mr.. Reid believe,
| Mr.. Randall has the best chance among
the democrats. He regards Mr.. Blaine
as not a candidate, and speaks highly
of President Arthurs administration
but hardly thinks that men now talked
of will he nominated by either party.

entered the furnace to construct a new

TUESDAY.
The telegraphic deadlock continues
without important change in the situa
ton. The public is fast losing patience,
and legal measures to compel the
Western Union Company to resume its
proper position as a public servant are
being resOrted to in Boston and other
places. De1ectiOns in other depart
ments of Western Union employ
threaten to still further cripple the
service. And yet the officials of the
company urbanely announce that ev-
erything is going smoothly, that bust
ness is being handled with reasonable
promptness. But at what cost

SATURDAY,.

There was no great change in the
status of the strike of telegraph oper-
ators Saturday. The companies re-
ported that they had filled the places
of many strikers and that work at the
important points was going on smooth
they are still seriously embarrassed,
and that they are putting better face
on matters than the facts would war
rant. The strikers claim that large
proportion of the men and women sit
ting at the instruments are mere "dum-
mics" or persons who can do only the
most imperfect work.

MONDAY.

MONDAY.
The telegraphic situation threatens
to become much more serious. There
is no sign of surrender on either side,
and the determination of the cOmpa-
MES to defy and ignore the strikers is
likely to call forth some reserved blows
from the Brotherhood. The public ser
vice through the country is in about
the same condition as on Saturday.
The most serious aspect of the situa-
ton is the determination of the Broth
erhOOd to still further cripple the tele-
graphic service of the country in case
of continued defiance on the part of the
companies. The second move was
made on Saturday, when the Gold and
Stock Telegraph operators at Chicago,
all members of the Brotherhood, were
ordered to strike and the country re-
ceived no quotations from the grain,
produce and other western markets.
In ordering general strike of the com
mercial operators of the country, the
Brotherhood acted in the hope that this
might be a sufficient demonstration of
its power to induce the Western Union
to yield. 1t is now evident that there
will be a long fight and a test of endur-
ance. The Brotherhood proposes,
therefore, one by one to bring its re
served forces into the struggle. The
proposed moves in brief are as follows {:
A strike of the cable operators will
soon be ordered. These men are all
enthusiastic members of the Brother
hood, and, it is learned, that for a very
excellent reason they have been di-
rected thus far to remain at their posts,
but they are ready to go out mt an
hours notice. The railroad operators
may at any time lie ordered out. This
has not yet been dDue because the
Brotherhood has no desire to iniure the
railroad service or any interest outside
that of the telegraph companies, unless
compelled to carry their point. Again,
there is danger of an order to the most
skillful band of operators in the coun-
try to quit work-the men who man
the Associated Press and other news
wires. These men are all mem
beers of the Brotherhood and paid good
salaries by the concerns leasing the
wires. 1t il stated on the authority of
the Executive Board that these men
will be ordered out only as a last re
sort.
Operators on private brokers' wires
for the same reasons would he included
in any such order to the press opera
tors Lastly, it is learned on the high
est authority in the Brotherhood, that
a very important proposition is under
consideration. 1t cOntemplates moth
ing less than the prompt organization
of a rival TO the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. Offers of almost I'M
limited capital have been made, and a
movement is on foot for the prompt
equipment of a new telegraph system
between the principal cities of the
country.

A WHITE OAKS MAN
Shot, and Dies.

A few short months ago n car
penter named X. S. Hedges, came
to White Oaks with his family,
and settled among us, working
hard and steadily at his trade. un-
til one day last week he started tor
Carthage on business. A few
evenings ago he was attending a
saloon bar for friend who was UNI
derthe influence of drink. During
the evening the saloon-keeper and
Il miner known as Freddy" got
into an alteration and Hedges
stepped between the beligerents to
stop the fight, when he received u
shot from Reddy's pistol which
shattered one leg near the thigh,
and wounded the other. Reddy
fled and has not been captured.
Hedges was taken to comfortable
quarters, where his leg was am
putatcd, but the shock was such
that death alone could relieve
him, and he died on Thursday
morning.
What renders the death most
sad is the fact that his wife is left
penniless in a strange community,
and with an infant scarcely six
weeks old, a dependent wholly
upon Him who is husband to the
widow aud q father to the orphan,
and those from out of whose hearts
the precious teachings Of the Mas
ter are not shut out.

We learn that a sergeant impli-
Gated in the lynchlng Of Pearl near
Lincoln, last winter, has conclud-
ed to turn ''informer," and that in
consequence his associates in the
crime have deserted, so that at
the hour of trial, Carey-wc mean
the informing Sergeant, will stand
alone to confront the majesty of the
law, which should frown deeply
and darby upon him, first for defy
ing it, and then for ''peaching ON
his pals"
TIE grass product Of this imme-
date vicinity Is greater than many
of the most observant imagine ii
to be. At present there are about
20 machines to the southwest Of us
and as many more to the north
east all employed in cutting grass,
Each machine will easily clip 30
tons, which will aggregate 1900
tons. The value of this hay, in
the aggregate, would or will be
$50 per ton, or S45, 600. Fully as
much more grass will be saved in
other parts of the county, making
an aggregate tonnage Of 5000 tons
and SOC, 900. OF course some hay
will be sold cheaper, but our esti
mate is 81 per ton lower than the
lowest bid accepted at TT, Stanton.
The late rain had adamaging cfec
upon grass already cut, but no
particularly SO, if it w0s at once
