LABOR REcoRD.-Labor is organ
lied in the State of New York. Its
highest body is the State Trades
Assembly. 1t is not organized for
political purposes, but has for its
sole object the advancement of the
condition of the workingmen in all
things. 1t has for years applied to
the great political organizations for
assistance and consideration. 1t has
received these only from the Demo-
cratic party. Organization in this
branch of endeavor has had its
effect, as it does everywhere; and so
it came about that in 1882, as a re-
suit of organization, and for the
fist time, it presented well defined
contention, with which it appeared
before the two great parties of the
State-the Democratic and the Re-
publican. The Republican party
gave no heed whatever 70 its re-
quests. The Democratic party lis
tened, and, believing in them, en-
braced them in their platform of that
year. Upon this platform Grover
Cleveland was placed by the Democ.
racy of the State, and upon it he
was elected to be Governor. His
faithful adherence to the pledges
AM promises of that platform is
known to all men, and so faithful as
to be regarded the beginning OF a
new era in politics, when candidates
would regard the Obligations of form
ulated party utterances.

A Whipping Post for Drunkards =?

A striking illustration of the danger of
being too Jealous in ones advocacy of
Reform, was that of a citizen of this
place, who, a few days ago was discussing
the temperance question with a number
of friends.
This man emphatically expressed the
opinion that "it is necessary to have a
whipping post for drunkards, and have
them publicly fogged" or words to that
effect. If the citizen aforesaid will amend
that declaration, and say that the brute
who sells liquor to drunkard-or to any
body else-ought to be led up in the Court
House Square and publicly thrashed, we
will agree with him fully. But the joke
about this citizens declaration is that in
less than a week from the time of making
it, he was on roaring spree. Are we to
infer from the declaration, and subse-
quent conduct, that the man knew just
what was necessary to meet the case?
A great many very good people believe
that it would scarcely be too harsh treat
ment to arrest the poor wrecks who are
reeling about the streets, and make an
example of them by punishment at the
whipping post. We are in favor of a
whipping post, but we want it used in
this way: Arrest the poor drunkard, ey-
cry time he gets drunk, and if he will not
tell where he got his liquor, whip him.
But if he will tell where he got his liquor.
arrest the devil who sold it to him, tie
him up to the whipping-post, and give
him such "larruping" that he will ever
afterward be afraid to attempt to make a
living by poisoning his fellow-men for
money. And if it could be so arranged
that the drunkard might do the fiogging,
all the more righteousness would there be
in it. That is the kind of law that would
suit the case all around. On these condi-
tions, we are enthusiastic for a whipping
post

Death of John M. Martin.

John NJ. Martin died on Sunday after
noon. He was IS years of age. He was
born in Franklin township, some two
miles from Jackson, and came to town in
early life, and lived here until his death
He was engaged in selling goods for
twenty-five to thirty years. He was
Treasurer of Jackson county from 1884 to
1911, and Recorder from 1861 to 1867, and
Postmaster for several years, some ten to
twelve years ago. In early life there
were no better business man in Jackson
county than the deceased. He was affa-
BILE and polite, and had many friends.
He was a good citizen, a pleasant neigh
Dor, and kind husband and father. His
wife died few years ago. She was a
daughter of the late John Stinson, one of
the pioneer settlers of Jackson county.
Mr.. Martin raised a large and respecta-
BILE family, five sons and three daughters
still living. One son, Charles, was killed
in the late war.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1884-01-24

sPulled 'em Up the Grade! 20

While party of friends were engaged
in telling anecdotes around comfortable
fire, on last Saturday night, the subject
turned upon railroad experiences, when
one of the company told how the old
Jackson" broad-gauge engine on the
old s. & H. V. road NOW the Portsmouth
Branch.) was made to run on Cannon
balr' time, up steep grade, on the lower
end of the road, between Jackson and
Portsmouth, and draw a train of cars
loaded with pig iron.
We believe John Andres, now Il police
man in Portsmouth, was fireman, or, at
least, was working on the train. The en-
gineer concluded he could run up the
grade without slip by starting at the
grade ON fast run. To keep the engine
down, they carried quite lot of the pig
iron and piled it in the cab At the point
where the pull was to begin in earnest,
Andres was to seize the safety valve and
hold it down. When all was ready the
boys mounted the engine and "let her go.''
She ran at the grade beautifully, and as
the critical point was reached, the engi-
neer opened wide the throttle, Andres
seized the valve-balance, and held on like
fate. But the old engine didn't go up
with the speed due to the arrangements.
When the boys came to investigate the
cause of the sudden failure, they .foa1ld
their qwarter-rods broken. The pig iron
worked all right; the holding of the safe
ty-valye worked all right, but the cylin-
ders were not stout enough.
