Four years ago the Republican Ma
tional Committee circulated--the fact
was established, though Mr.. Dorsey de.
MED it--a bogus extract from a pamph-
let issued by, the Free Trade Club Of
London which declared that the sue
cess OF the Democracy was to be desired
in order to bring about free trade aud
the ruis of American manufacturers.
The same card is being circulated by
thousands, with the addition of para
graph praising Mr. Blaine and disparag-
ing Mr.. Cleveland on the tariff issue
It is clumsy forgery. The cause of
protection must be in desperate way,
and its advocates must have a tlattering
opinion of the intelligence Of the lank
and file OF their supporters, when they
resort to such tricks as this.

DISCONTINUED MINERS.
How a Firm That Was Defeatedbv Strike
IS Carrying Its Point.

IS Carrying Its Point.
HAzLEroE October 23.--New complications
have arisen between G. Markle & CO.,
miners and shippers Of coal at Jeddo, and
their workingmen. The latter struck on
July 10 last against form of receipt which
the firm required them to sign before re-
ceiving their wages, and it was withdrawn.
A few days ago the firm instituted a new
method of employing men, viz: Any
stranger desiring work must first go to tho
mining superintendent, who will give him
an order; he then must 60 to the snperin-
tendent Of the store to have it countersign.
ed and he then proceeds to the mining boss
and presents the order with the signatures
Of the above parties. If the mining boss is
in need OF men he puts him to work. Be-
fore the store superintendent countersigns
the order, however the applicant for work is
required TO sign an acknowledgment that
he shall become indebted to G. B. Markle &
Co., at various times while IN their employ,
on one or more Of the following accounts,
viz Merchandise account, butcher account,
rent account, teaming account, blacksmith
ing account, labor account, powder account,
and mine supplies account. The document
authorizes the firm to deduct these items

company's authorized doctor account and
the priest account, and II releases for this
purpose So much of the wages as may be
necessary. The employees of Markle & Co.,
are much discontented and the strangers
who have been employed in Jeddo under
this system learning this called a public
meeting and stated that they were sorry for
what they had done and volunteered to 60
TO Mr.. Markle and demand their papers
back. They accordingly went and asked
Mr.. Markle for the documents they had
signed. Mr. Markle politely refused and
told them he would take care of the old
hands. 1t is thought TO be the intention Of
Mr.. Markle to secure enough new hands, so
that he can say to the old ones, "Sigu this
or leave"

A remedy that can destroy the germs Of
scrofula, and when once settled has the pow
er to root it out, must be appreciated by
those afflicted. The remarkable cures OF
young children and the more wonderful cures
Of those of middle age and late in life, as IL
lustrated by our printed testimonials, prove
HOOPS SARsAPARILLA TO be a reliable rem
edy, containing remedial agents which do
positively cure scrofula and eradicate it from

A Mad President.

A well-known President of South
ern road recently distinguished himself
in Chicago. He was bound for New
York, and when he showed his pass at
the depot gate it was promptly taken
up, the bearer being referred to the
general passenger Office for any ex-
PLANTATION he might want. Only a few
minutes till train time remained, and
he fastened into the general passenger
office fuming with rage. ''What does
this fellow outside mean by insulting
me, sir, by depriving me of my pass,
sir p he demanded, angrily. ''Does
he think / stole it, or that I've been
trying to sell it, sir? l tell you | have
been grossly insulted, and 1 want an
explanation" He was urged to be
calm and to state his case a little more
plainly, and whatever wrong had been
done would be righted. After he had
acquainted the agent with his name, it
was at once recognized as having graced
a pass that had been offered for sale in
a scalping shop q few days before
The matter had been reported at the
office and the gate-keeper had been in
structed to take up a pass bearing that
| name. The Southern railroader then
explained that he had lost his return
pass, which some one had probably
found and tried to sell. He was able to
identify himself without difficulty and
was then given note to the gate
keeper for return of the pass. In the
meantime his train had gone, and, boil
ing over with rage, he appeared a sec
ond time in the agent office, when he
proceeded to heap upon the head of ev-
erybody connected with the road a
choice assortment of Southern invec-
tives. Having thus unburdened him
self, he pettishly tore his pass into
fragments, and, throwing the pieces on
the floor, savagely exclaimed: ''There,
curse you! I'd walk to New Orleans
and back before I'd accept another
pass from your cursed old roadr'
| With that he took himself out of the
| office, ChSc100 Times

The Dead Languages.

The ancient languages, with great
beauty of structure, contain wonderful
remains of genius, which draw, and al
ways will draw, certain ike-minded
men-Greek men and Roman men-in
all countries, to their study, but, by a
wonderful drowsiness of usage, they
had exacted the study of all men.
Once (say two centuries ago), Latin
and Greek had strict relation to all
the science and culture there was in
Europe, and mathematics had mo-
mentary Importance at some era of
activity in physical science. These
things became stereotyped as eduea-
ton, as the manner of men is. But the
good spirit never cared for the col
leges, and though all men and boys
were now drilled in Latin, Greek and
mathematics, it had quite left these
shells high and dry on the beach, and
was now creating and feeding other
matters at other ends of the world. But
in a hundred high schools and col
leges this warfare against common sense
still goes on. -Four or six or ten years
the pupil is parsing Greek and Latin,
and as soon as he leaves the university,
as it is ludicrously styled, he shuts those
books for the last time.
Some thousands Of young men are
graduated at our colleges in this
country every year, and the persons
who at forty years still read Greek can
all be counted on your hand. / never
met with ten. Four or five persons |
have seen who read Plato. But is not
this absurd, that the whole liberal tai
ent of this country should be directed
in its best years on studies which lead
to nothing.-R. w. Emerson.
