ONE of the gentlemen who accompa-
MED The Woodstield and Caldwell Bar
excursion over the B. Z. & c. Railroad
to Zanesville few weeks ago, overheard
orIef conversation between the z ines
vile hotel keeper and q colored man
who was applying to him for work. The
incident has political significance and
will bear telling. The hotel had been
suddenly filed by the crowd Of hungry
lawyers, and the colorei individual no
doubt thought it good time to put in
for q job, waiting at table. He asked
or the job, and the hotel keeper surpris
ed him by saying;

In his speech, which he never deliv.
cred but which he is now extensively cir.
culsiing under cover Of his frank, Con-
gressman J. D. TAYLOR complains that
the Democratic committee allowed his
bill. which be had introduced in the ses
sion, to "sleep the sleep that knows no
waking"
We believe it Is usual for members
who introduce important measures which
they wish to see enacted into laws, TO
follow up their bills before the c,mmi.-
tee. Did Mr.. TAYLOR ever ask to he
heard before the committee on his bill ?
Did be ever even appear in the com nit
tee rooms to urge the merits Of bis pro
posed rneasure7 1t was introduced, as
be says, early in the session, and he
must have had ample time to bring it to
the attention of the committee, But II
a member do not take enough interest in
his measure to follow 1t up, he ought not
complain Of q want Of interest in others.
The truth of it is, Col TAYLOR never
expected his bill to pass. Like score
of others, it was probably dumped into
the House for political effect, or to make
his constituents believe he was doing
something, and never thought of 1t after
wards. Hundreds of such bills are cart.
ed into the committee rooms every ses.
sion OF Congress, and 1t is said many
OF them are found to be exact copins OF
one another. Members who want little
chesp note riety and get their names in
the Record. have been known to gather
up old bills and re-introduce them. o.
course, no attention is paid to the bills
after wards, but the member has made his
point, and he can complain at the neg
lect of committees at bis leisure.

How Watch Cases are MADE

In 1875, thirteen men comprised the
entire working force used in the manu-.
facture of the James BosS' Gold Watch Case.
Now over fue hundred are employed, and the.
number is constantly increasing. The rea-
son Of this increase is this: In the James
Boss Gold Watch Case all the metal in sight
and subject to wear is solid gold, ,whilethe re-
mainder, which only lends strength to the
case, is of stronger metal than gold,
giving gold where gold is needed, and
strong, elastic metal where strength and
elasticity are needed, a combination pro-
ducing watch case better than solid gold
and at oNE-HALF the cost. ~ ,.
Over 100000 Of these cases q :
have been sold, and every jeweler in the
country can testify to their quality and
merit. ,

THE very absurd charge is made
against General WARNER, in certain
quarters, that he opposed the tariff on
wool. At first blush 1t might be sur
missed that the report had its origin in
Col. TArLoR's speech on that subject, but
on reflection we are reminded that no.
body ever reads that speech, go We must
conclude that the story arose from some
other source--probably from the necss-
sities OF the campaign.
Let any one who has any doubt IT his
attitude on the question, read the Gene.
rails tariff speech-and everybody ought
to cead It Who would be informed on the
subject. The principle he announces in
that speech will stand the test of all crit
icism. That principle is, that all tariff
duties should be levied with reference tc

Blaine's Libel Suit.

Perhaps now that the public has heard
the first blast Of the trumpets in Blaiue's
suit for libel against the Indianapolis
Sentinel, it would not hear much more.
That will be good enough suit until
after the election, and then it will be for
gotten.
We base this opinion upon several
features Of the case, and first upon the
fact that it Is very doubtful whether any,
thing said in the Sentinel's article is re-
ally libellous. That article says: "There
is hardly an intelligent man in this coun-
try who has not heard that James g..
Blaine" did certain things, and then it
simply refers to scandalous story. 1t
does not retail that story; it does not
say that the story is true, and, in fact,
the Sentinel does not of it's own author.
i ity allege anything whstever against
Blaine. We doubs il any such inde6uite
allegation as to what is known by intelli.
gent people has in it any such substan-
tial basis of hurt as may make it libell-
| Gus.
But IL there is no intention to push
the case, why does Blaine initiate suit
and so certainly 6x attention upon the
subject7 Perhaps because he prefers to
fix attention in that way. He is certain
that the story will now 60 around, and
desires that It should 60 around associa.
ted with the declaration that he has taken
steps to punish the offender. That has
a bold, indignant and innocent air that
generally looks well. Perhaps, also, he
has been told that it is about time to be.
gin to be aggressive.
II is commonly thought that, since a
complaint has been made In this case,
and as complaint is part OF legal pro-
ceeding, therefore every one has right
to publish the pretended libel as embod.
led in the complaint; and, in fact, many
journals which certainly do not intend
to libel Mr.. Blaine have nevertheless
thus published the libel. But they are
mistaken as to their privilege 10 this par
ticuiar II the article is libel all who
have published it as included in the com
plant are as amenable to the Law as the
original publisher.
Preliminary proceedings, like CON-
plant, do not protect the publisher up
on the theory that they are part Of the
record Of court. Mr.. Blaine, il he Is
sincere and earnest in his defence, ought
to push his case and get verdict before
the election. It-might help hin.

OPPOSED TO BLAINE.
A Leading Colored Man Announces
for Cleveland.

PHfLADELrHrA, PENN, Aug. 9.-wm.
Still, one OF the W, w,althiest and best
known colored men IN this city, a CO.
worker with Garrison, Phillips and Lu.
creta Mott in the anti-slavery cause. and
the author of the book, "The Under
ground Railroad" has announced himself
for Cleveland and Hendricks. Mr.. Still
is an extensive retail coal dealer, and
lives In good style at No. 244 South
Twelfth street, where he was seen by q
representative of the Post, the new
Democratic paper in this city, and was
asked 1t it was true that he intended to
vote for Cleveland and Hendricks. "Such
Is my determination" he replied "And
whv shouldn't / An honest national
administration is what every citizen
should want to see, and ] recogniz, the
fact that the time has come for change.
1t doesn't do for one party to remain in
power too long, and there could not, be
better time to make the change than
now. The Democratic party have pre-.
sented an exceptionally good ticket to
the people, and, as between Cleveland
and Blaine, don't think We should hesi-
tate as TO which we should give our sup.
port to-"
You don't shate, then, with your race
their general distrust Of the Democratic
paity2"
"Not the lesst. Why, it's all foolish
ness to suppose that the Democrats
would autagonize the colored people.
Revolutions never GO backward. and
parties out OF power never degenerate
they grow And, besides, the Demo.
cratic party of to-day Is not what It wss
20 years ago, nor is the Republican party
the same either. One represents pro.
gtession, the other corruption. But the
corruption Of the Republican party is the
natural consequence Of long lease OF
pow.r, and this is why We should have q

adherents to the democratic side An
independent republican club has been
formed, consisting Of hundred mem-
bers, who are doing as active work 90

candidate for the Presidency. Among
these gentlemen are Mr.. Daniel Drake
Smith, who is an officer of leading

The members Of this association Join.
ed with the democratic workers on
Thursday evening in holding Cleveland

and most enthusiastic political meeting
that has been held In Englewood in many
years. Mr.. Henry A. Barling presided,

The entire crowd then retired to the

alluded to that part OF Senator Dawes
