The Postal Notes in Bad Odor.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-There is
great dissatisfaction in the Postoffice
Department as well as out it with the
new postal notes. and it is more than
probable that the present issue will
be recalled and new design adopted.
The present note, which looks more
like a Chinese wash receipt than a
Government obligation, is said by
experts to be so easy of imitation that
it will beimpossible to suppress coun
terfeits. In fact several successful
alterations have already been report
ed. The notes are printed on poor,
soft paper, and the figures written
upon them can be readily changed or
erased by the use of acids familiar to
forgers. The giving out of the work
to New York parties, when there was
every facility for having 1t done here
under the eye of the Postmaster Gen.
eral, is acknowledged as a mistake
The purpose in taking the job to New
York was to have it done cheaper
than it could be done by the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing. 1t is
likely that the $4,000 books issued to
the various postoffices will be recalled,
and the Government will have TO Or
der corrected design, as it did in the
case of the fiye-cent nickeIs.

With the September term of Court
just closed, the official labors of Col.
J. w. Veitch as States Attorney for
Garrett county virtually end. Hav.
ing the confidence of and trusted by
the people, twice has he been select
cd TO iii this important position
without opposition by the popular
vote of the county and that that con.
fidence has not been misplaced and
that he has fulfilled all expectations
in the discharge OF the arduous, diff
cult and perplexing duties of the Of
fee, and acquitted himself with cred
it and to the entire satisfaction of
every good and unprejudiced citizen,
is evident. In the performance of
his duty he has been prompt, econo-
mical and conscientious mindful of
the interests and welfare of the peo-
pie and county always without fear,
favor or Partially; ignoring light
and trivial complaints, calculated to
incur expense without any good re-
suit, and prosecuting with rigor and
effect crimes and misdemeanors of a
grave and important character. Hon
esty of heart and purpose mark his
official career. Where a reasonable
doubt existed as to the guilt of per.
son. the person received the benefit
of the doubt. Where convinced of
his guilt, then he was earnest in his
endeavors to secure for the offender
AUST and proper punishment. Dur
ing both terms of Office he has at all
times exhibited signal fitness for the
position one fact being remarkable,
that not single indictment prepared
by him has ever been quashed by op-
posing counsel. His work concluded
with the trial of John Smith for the
murder of Josiah Harden, elsewhere
reported in this paper, and it was a
fitting termination of his labors. he
being highly complimented by all
three Judges composing the court,
and all persons in attendance at the
trial, for the mastery manner in
which it was conducted and tried, and
the force and ability displayed by him
in his arguments.

Life's Labors.

What great thing it is to live. and
to live to do good to others! How
few there are who appreciate their
blessed opportunities, and improve
them accordingly. Life means earn
est and active work. One should love
his life work, and labor intelligently
with some good end in view. Each
day should see some noble action per-
formed, and its evening find each trav-
eler one days journey nearer home.
He should enter upon the race with d
brave. heart, and keep up his courage
until the end. Yet how many there
are who fail in this world either
through laziness, inattention or ill
health. An unwell man or woman
can never love life or its work. At
heart they cannot do as much as the
one possessed of daring soul and a
healthy body, who loves his work.
This was true of Mr.. j. W. Reynolds,
of New Lisbon, Coiumbiana county,
Ohio. Through hard and incessant
toll, and close application to business,
his health had become greatly impair
ed. He had become confirmed in
valid, and the general debility of his
system was alarming. He could not
sleep well neither could he work.
A friend recommended that he try
the famous PERUNA. AT first no
great change was noticeable, but he
perseyered. He took eight bottles,
and as result was completely re-
stored to his former vigor and
strength. He says he now feels like
a new man, and is daily seen about
the streets of his city. He enjoys the
best of health, and says it is all owing
to PERUNA. He loves his labor, and
takes pride in his work, and is I'M
ceasing in his praises of the great
remedy which restored him.

In letter to the Cumberland Neacs,
of a recent date, "a Reformer" says /:
'In the present campaign many per-
sons are very DESTROYS of learning
what part the Reform Democrats in
tend to play. That they constitute
an important factor in the politics of
this State no one will deny. They
can now make or break the ring. If
they swallow the ring ticket. then we
will have four years more of the rule
of the canal ring in the politics of this
State, the city of Cumberland, and in
the Dem ocratic party at least of this
county. Those who are satisfied with
theexisting condition of things should
vote for McLane, Roberts and Turn
er. Those who desire a change can
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1883-09-29

only secure it by Republican success.
AS united and methodical action is
extremely desirable, it has been sug-
gested that the executive committee
of the Reform club in Cumberland
call convention, at an early day, OF
the anti-ring element. Let antl-rlng
primaries be held in each district and
delegates appointed to attend a con-
yention in Cumberland. Such con-
vention could thoroughly organize
the Reform element, and make it
much more influential factor in poll
tics than it is at present. The crisis
has been reached, and fair play and
an equal chance in the party must
and will be had, and the ring must
be made to understand that unless
proper concessions are had the party
will be defeated in State as we'll as
county. The anti-ring element is
stronger to-day than ever before, and
as there is little hope of reform in the
present unjust and irregular basis OF
representation in county conventions
from the party as now constituted,
this important matter should form an
especial feature for discussion. So
long as such numerically insignificant
district as Orleans, Oldtown, Flint
stoneand Rawlings-casting not more
Democratic votes than one Cumber-
land district-have as much power in
conventions as the city of Cumber-
land with nearly 1900 Democratic
votes, nominations will always be
dictated by the ring. In this there
must be a change, and the anti-ring
people must do it. But by all means
let us have the convention"

When farmer stands up to talk,
farmers are likely to listen, and we
commend to the attention of our agri-
cultural readers the following remarks
by an Iowa farmer named Samuel
PEBBLES, who evidently thinks as he
sows, and reads when he rests. In his
nominations upon the tariff question
he has settled down to the following
conclusions
A tariff for revenue only, lift means
anything, implies the following ef-
feet:
A general reduction of the existing
duties on imports.
To be followed by larger impOrta-
ton of foreign make fabrics.
To be followed by falling off in
the demand for those made at home.
To be followed by the closing of
American workshops.
To be followed by relatively great
er number of men engaged in agricul-
ture.
To be followed by an increase in the
supply of farm products, with no COR
responding increase in the demand.
To be followed by reduction of the
farmers profits.
1, for one, do not like it.
Perhaps (says an exchange) some |
robust philosopher who raises theo. |
ries instead of corn will raise in his
place on the call of the States, and
prove that Samuel PEBBLES dosen't
know what he is talking about. Up
to the present time, however. Mr..
PEBBLES appears to have clear ma
iority.
