The indications are that Mr.. Gladstone's
Edinburgh speeches have failed to take the
question of disestablishment out of the can
vass. The Scotch newspapers are not
pleased with it and incline to the opinion
that it has not improved the Liberal chances,
and it does not seem to have won enthusiast
tic commentator from the press anywhere
in the United Kingdom The fire had got
too well under way before Mr. Gladstone at
tempted to put it out.

The Fairfield Journal says that now that
Gen. Anderson has begun to make the fur
fly the Republican papers are very unhappy.
The only fur that Gen. Anderson has had
anything to do with making fly belong
ed to Cleaves Democrats. The Republicans
can see good deal of that fly without being
very miserable.

Wednesday night the Advertiser was of
the opinion that the aldermen could not in
terfere to prevent the removal of Officer
Sterling because the Mayors power in such
matters was arbitrary. Yesterday it read
the law and found that the Mayor could re-
move policeman only til the approval of
the pi5scfmen. That is if four of the alder
men said no, the policeman would remain in
spite of the Mayor. The Advertiser still in
sists, however, that it was impossible for the
aldermen to interfere; first, because the law
was changed last winter expressly to auth
orize arbitrary removal, though it admits it
does not authorize them; second because the
aldermen naturally hesitate to obstruct a
power [of arbitrary REMOVAL which they
have been taught to consider essential to the
proper control of the force Ia power which
it admits does not exist; and third, because
year ago the opinion was current in the
PRESS Office that the Mayor should have the
power of arbitrary removal These are very
weighty reasons certainly. But the one which
it is currently reported was assigned by a
member of the board of aldermen, that he
didn't want to have fuss with the Mayor,
weighs ton more than the whole of them.
The relative positions of the two parties in

The country will read with breathless in
terest this morning the announcement tele-
graphed from Waldoboro at no expense to
the gentleman, that the Hon. Edmund Will
son still sticks to the Waldoboro collector
ship. 1t is such an unusual phenomenon for
a Democrat to stick to a Office that we have
little doubt that Mr.. Wilson's adherence will
be proclaimed throughout the country in
flashy headlines and loaded type. A Demo-
crat who in these times when the great
majority of his political brethren are pusil-
lanimously running away from the offices
boldly announces that he sticks and will
continue to stick merits the distinction of a

made mistake. Moreover, IL It be
intended, under false pretense Of
economy, to get rid of Republican Off
cials who understand the duties Of the
different Offices, and afterward, when
the need Of more men appears, to fill
their places with Democrats, the public
will understand the trick perfectly well.
Mr.. Cleveland's Administration will
gain nothing by any false pretense Of
reform, which Is designed only to cover
a disregard Of the law regulating ap-
pointments. .,.- ..I%.,rE

officers whose services are thought to

not enjoy much reputation as a reform

Of the service which has to deal with
frauds against the Internal Revenue
laws. II the object Of the Administra-
ton is to cripple the force by which
such frauds are detected, and thus to
make the collection of taxes on whisky
and beer more difficult, IL has chosen a
short road to reach that end. But in
that case, too, the device will be un-
covered when the revenue returns are
made, and IL will be seen that larger
part of the tax has been evaded through
the inefficiency OF the department
President Cleveland may rest assured
that in any real reform he will have
hearty support. Neither the country
nor the Republican party desires to have
any abuses continue which have grown
up under past Administrations. He will
find fewer than he expects, but wher-
ever he finds one we pray him to cut II
off at once. On the other hand his
performances will be regarded with
considerable suspicion, so long as the
work of reform is intrusted principally
to Mr.. Manning, and he will probably
learn in due time that Mr.. Manning
himself needs reforming more than any
other branch Of the Governmental
Y Tribune.

II you are suffering from general de-
billty, nervous prostratlon, sinking
spells, etc, suDorinduced by impure
blood, weak kidneys and liver, etc, do not
resort to alcoholic compounds, nor use
remedies that cause too great activity
OF tho parts affected. IL Is far more wise
TO use a mild Alternative liko Or. Guy
sott's Yellow Dock and Sarsa-
parilla. THIS remedy contains nothing
injurious TO tho most delicate consttu-
tlon, and its use gradually builds up and
Strengthens, while dlurotlc and cathartio
compounds tear down, wear out and do

We notice by some of our ex-
changes that glass factories at var
ious points are being operated with
natural gas. A furnace at Deliver
non, Pa, it is said has been started
on natural gas and others there are
expected to be run in the same way
at an early day. Why could not our
gas well at Morgantown be utilized
for such purpose? The well is not
a very strong one but Prot. White
and other knowing persons are of
opinion that there is enough to light
Morgantown and to supply some
houses with heat in addition. If
they are correct is not the quantity
sufficient to operate at least one
glass furnace? There can be no
doubt but that our mountains here
abound with the best kind of glass
sand which could be delivered at
Morgantown at a moderate cost.
From Morgantown the facilities of
transportation will soon be of the
very best. Why do not the Monon-
gala improvement Company turn
their attention toward some glass
manufacturers and see if they can
not turn their well over to some
glass man or men and start o new
enterprise in the town? This would
bring capital to the town and afford

The war Of the rebellion has been
over more than twenty years. The
men who participated in it so far as
they are still living are becoming old
and gray headed and still the Re-
publicans are crying against the
south as if the war was not yet fin
ished. John Sherman of Ohio has
puto his war paint and seems in a
paroxysm of rage and is fighting
the war all over again. If Mr..
Sherman had only got worked up
twenty five years ago as he seems to
be now and had possessed courage
enough to become soldier he would
have contributed no doubt toward
ending the strife sooner than it was.
How does it happen that a man of
such violent hatred towards the
south never went into the army but
stayed at home and kept cool until
more than twenty years after the re-
bellion was ended? Mr.. Sherman
must be either very great dema-
gogue or else he is very great cow
ard. Or perhaps he is like the
country man who assaulted the jew
clothier and who on being interro-
gated as to why he did it said it was
because the Jews had murdered the
Savior and on being told that that
occurred more than 1900 years ago
said it made no difference so far as
that was concerned he had only Just
heard of it on that day. We are in
clined to think Mr.. Sherman has
only just heard of the South rebel
lion, this fall. And we are not dis
posed to think it would take him
twenty five years to get his war paint
on and then only one of two conclu-
sions left for us to reach; he is eth
er demagogue and is firing all this
passion against the south in order
to work his way back into the Unit
ed States Senate or else he was al
ways malignant against the south
but was too big coward to go into
the army and fight for the Union.

The Parkersburg State Journal
says that "Probably the most use
less and stultifying organization
that has n present existence is the
party of political prohibitionists. ;"
Now what on earth is the matter
with our republican friends that
they have of late taken to abusing
the Prohibitionists? The democrat
ic party has always been accused of
favoring whiskey and democrats
were never so Incorporate in their
abuse of the prohibitionists as the
republicans now are. This would
seem to indicate that the cry of
whiskcy which the republicans
always kept up against the demo-
Gratis was all hypocris and sham
and the real friends Of the whiskey
traffic are the republicans. Recently
Henry Ward Beecher came out in a
card favoring a whiskey license and
the republican papers all quote his
language approyingly. ST. John and
Dr. Leonard who openly advocate
prohibition are slimed all over with
abuse and falsehood poured out by
republican newspapers and orators.
Why in the name Of the g. 0. p. is
this thus?
