IT is all very well for the democrats to talk about principle, but the laborins classes gre not in favor of tariff reform. However, it IS better to be beaten in 2 good cause than to be elected in a bad one.

RICHARD A. PROCTOR, the great as- uonomer, will take up a permanent res idence at St. Joseph, Mo. It is not likely that he will become intimate with the re- mainder of the James gang.

THE political war is now fairly begun dricks, brings memory of :" seventy-six.' The democrats have acted wisely. lr pleasing themselves, they have pleased dissatisfied republicans. Cleveland may not be brilliant man, but he is a man of reform. After all, the genius of re- formation is the genius most fitted to take charge of the government. Genius is 6tful child of error, doing something to-day which canno, be mended to- morrow. The man of sound judgmen, does not surprise you with his flashes but you at once know that he is the proper man to take charge of an estate.

Its vide spreading branches are supported by many separate stems or trunks, formed by descending aerial roots which on reaching the ground become fixed as props to the great leafy roof above.

The Various Base Ball Games---WaIking
Match Arranged for at
Kansas City.

CoLUXBUs, o., August 25.-0ne hundred
Polish miners from Toledo we're taken to
Buchtel this morning and placed in stone
house to be guarded for the time being from
the striking miners. The latter endeavored
to drive the guard back but were resisted
by the detectives, and it looked for time
as if a riot Of serious dimt nsions was immi-
nent. A crowd of several hundred men,
women and children had gathered around,
and were apparently determined on the
assault and the interpreter who accom-
panied the Polish miners was knocked down
by a striking miner and is reported to be in
a critical condition. Lieut. Hay having
charge of the Piukerton detectives in the
employ of the syndicate telegraphed the
sheriff at Athens that the situation was
threatening and that he would be obliged to
use violence to protect himself and the
property Of the syndicate and the railroad.
General Superintendent Carr, of the Colum-
bus, Hooking Valley and Toledo roads
reported to Gov. Hoadly that an attack had
been in the morning and that
wires had been cut and he
wanted to know if under these circum-
stances troops could be ordered out to pro,
tect property. The Governor was not in
the city, but his private Secretary communi-
Gated with him and also stated that it
would be impossible to furnish troops till
the Sheriff had exhausted all his forces aud
having failed to restore order he could then
call on the State. The Governors guard
of this city has been ordered to

should their services be demanded. Officers
ofthe syndicate applied to the State for arms to
be furnished special constables who should
take the place of the detectives now on duty,
but the arms were refused by the State as
the authorities had no power to give out the
same Representatives of the syndicate state
that the sheriff of Athens county was called
upon at the beginning but refused to have
anything to do with it but changed his mind
and went to Buchtel. where he COM
manded the place. 1t is the opinion ofthe Of
fcials that as long as the sheriff endeavores
to maintain order there will be no trouble,
but should he decline to keep the peace
there will be bloodshed, as they have armed
men employed to protect their property and
say they. will do it at all hazards. No
further trouble is feared, except it should
be tomorrow morning, when another effort
will be made to put the Poles to work. The
general feeling here is that the strikers are
becoming desperate and that they will make
a big effort to have the work stopped at
Buchtel or keeo out imported labor

FUSION And CONFUSION.
The Berkeley County Republican
Convention.
MARION COUNTY POLITICS.
A Review Of The Situation--- Democrats
Hopeful OF Suceess---The Reason
.... For Their Faith.

MARTISsBURG, August 25.-[Exclusive.
Nothing in the political line on a small
scale has equalled the bedlam furnished BY
the assembling of the disjointed Republican
and Greenback clan in Berkeley county on
Saturday last. Inharmonious is sickly
word to convey an idea of the discord which
reigned supreme. The language misapplied
by the Intelligencer correspondent from
this point, in referring to Democratic jars
over which he mourned and said
Softly, Softly,
Say 1t low-They quarrel"
So putting it in the mildest form.
They really "cussed" and "cussed."
1t was to have been a convention but the
performers soon got beyond control. They
whooped for Cleveland and Hendricks,
Blaine and Logan, Butler and Reform. The
Chairman, Mr. Count Hamilton, and ex-
Postmaster Wisner measured parliamentary
swords, and the ex-Postmaster was routed.
He took his seat, Up to this time nothing
but the rejection of committee reports had
been attempted. Demands for fair
count" mo gag law" Want fair play"
fell thick and fast. But the climax
was reached when delegate VIM. Miller
who declared that he was Republican
thoroughbred; had never-no, hardly ever
voted for Democrat in his life,
At last, between breathing spells, ticket
which deserves to be called political
bastard, composed of Republicans, Green,
hackers and Democrats-was declared Sc
ected. Thus the difficult, ugly, tiresome
task was poorly done and will meet its just
reward-defeat.
The ex.postmaster, Wisner, called every
one to order, including the chairman and
he was set down upon.
Postmaster Evans was conspicuously
quiet.
Cleveland and Hendricks and the Demo
cratic county ticket were popular with the
shouters.
Hon. John A. FTutchins, who was in the
city refused to pour oil on the troubled
waters, because he was sick and tired,
completely "prostrated" and needed rest"
No doubt he'll have all the rest he wants
after October next.
County Clerk Dali couldn't be beat and
was endorsed. They are really too sweet to
live.
Farmer Chloane wouldn't down.
1t was often heard: Goodbye, Republi-
can party" October elections will confirm
the explanation.
Yet Republicans never use the word dis
cord, tumults, disgrace, etc, in describing
Democratic meetings. In this particular
business they cant I've excelled.
r. P. H. Staub, Esq, was the sickest OF
the sick. His agony Of conscience was pitt
full Steve. Elkins, come quickly The
curtain falls.

MYSTERIOUS.

ThI ee Men DtOwned Under Somewhat Sim

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, August 2j.-Between 6
and I clock last evening three men were
drowned in bayou connected with Lake
Contrary, local pleasure resort about FIVE
miles from this city. The'bayou is distant
about ten miles, however and the first in
formation of the tragedy was not received
in town until early this morning. The
drowned men were Chas. Nation, Samuel
LAZY and VIM. Askins. Nation lives in this
city. The others lived in the vicinity of the
bayou. The affair is regarded as rather
mysterious, and no intelligent account can
be given. 1t appears. however, that
the men, except Askins, were
all drunk and were probably
a. arrelling. They were in. boat with
q man named LanieS Nelson. Askins was
standing on the shore when he saw Nation
and Lilly fall overheard and sink He
plunged in to rescue them and was drowned
in the effort of the occupants of the boat
Nelson alone was saved, and it IS reported
that this is not the first time that he has
figured in mysterious drownings in the same
locality He undertook to row five colored
men acress the lake about six years ago,
and not one reached the shore alive. All
that is known of accident comes from him
All the men had families Their bodies
were recovered
