One of the most daring robberies ever com
mitted in this part of the state was reported
on Wednesday by Rev. Father Weining OF
Troy Grove. About clock Tuesday NOR
ming his residence, five miles south of Men

approaching his bed pointed two revolvers at
his head and demanded his money and other
valuables He pointed out where all his mo-
ney was-abeut S50-and to other valuables
in his bureau drawers. While one thief took
possession of the plumber, the other kept his
pistol leveled at the priest head. The for
mer first took two shotguns and two revolv
ers, all loaded, and went out; then returning
he secured all the booty worth taking, and
then the two babe their victim reverential
good night and departed. Father Weining
has not the least suspicion who the culprits
were but think they were acquainted with
the premises. The shotguns were left under
the porch.

Highlands, opposite this city, at 5 o'clock this

obstrueted and trains delayed.
Following is a corrected list Of the injured.
James German, fireman, right leg broken and
left arm bruised, was sent home to Jersey City

"And, therefore, you consider the Southern
question an issue of the future"
Therefore | conclude" said Senator Mitchell,
that this issue will not be diSposed of in time
to take it out of the next presidential contest,
and | am very glad that Mr.. Blaine had the truly
patriotic courage to present it so plainly to the
people at the time when all ears were turned to
catch any word l. of advice or warning which he
thought proper to utter.
General Logan made this subject a strong
point in his letter of acceptance. | wish Mr..
Blaine had done the same. But 1 assume he did
not in difference to the apparent Indifference at
the North in regard to it. But this Indifference
has never thus far found place in the
hearts of our people. The industrial and
commercial activity of the North has been so
great and so constant that economical politics
have forced this fundamental issue into the
background. Had the people clearly perceived
this peril no side issues could have led them to
disregard it. fractional and personal differences
would have been silenced, there would have
been far less voting in the air. and we should
not now behold the Democracy coming into
power, with the solid South supreme in its
counsels and controlling in its administration

while all concede the election of Mr.. Cleve-

victory is in favor of the Republican party and
policy by a very great majority, so far as any
election worthy of that name under republican

l asked if there may not yet be a "solid North

Mr.. Mitchell answered that 1.-The horrible work
of the Ku4Klux-K Khan, the midnight scourgings
and murders of innocent citizens, the persecu-
ton of ministers of the gospel and
self-sacrifcing school-teachers, the Infamous
black codes, the massacres of citizens for
their Republican faith, the suppression of
Republican majorities by the Mississippi
plan, by murder, and arson, and all conceivable
systems of ostracism, ard fraud, and force, and
intimidations at elections, so called, tissue bal
lots, cunningly devised laws to prevent colored
Republicans from voting, the suppression of the
freedom of the press and the right of political
diseussion-all these were not sufficient to re-
mind the freemen of the North that the only
way to defend and secure their own political
rights against this aggression of the solid
South was to meet it with a solid North"

BUFFALO, Dec. l6-The typographical union
has been greatly surprised at several moves made
by the publishers during the past few days, and
by newspaper Offices which heretofore have been
the strongest union offices in the city. About a
week ago the proprietor Of the Daily Times
warned his men that hereafter the advertise
ments, instead of being set by the piece, would
be set by the week, thus cutting off about $40 a
week expense. Yesterday James N. Matthews,
the proprietor of the Express, posted a notice in
his composing room that, after Jan. 3, the price
of composition would be reduced from thirty
five cents, the present scale, to thirty, two cents,
He asked those not willing to accept the reduc-
ton to give him one weeks notice, as he has
given them three. The Courier, though non
union, pays the full scale, but in the job depart
ment the men have been cut down. Some com
plant was made at the action of the Times, but
wise counsel prevailed, and the men yielded
The union men say that the action of the EX
press will cause n strike. A big meeting of the
union was held on Sunday, but the action taken
could not be learned.
