4 lnborer's most valuable possession,
aside from the strength of his arm and the
skill OF his hand, is one which he does not
always estimnte at its full worth. 1t is the
privilege of the ballot and the attendant
right OF citizenship TO meet his fellows
peaceab,y and petition against grievan-
ces. His vote should not be lightly
thrown away nor yield at any time to the
mere demand Of his employer, whose coer'
cou M ay te Sc, down ninety.nine times
out of hundred to motive inimical to
the wage. winners interest. The employer
who essays TO coerce the votes OF those
who are upon his pay roll invades a pivil.
ege with selfish aud sinster purpose, and
should I've met by the aroused indignation
Of men who are less than men II they fail
TO stand upon their rights. And it lie i'm
material whether this coercion is by the
chef himself or by his lackeys; whethe
il il open and lnsolent or bland and insd-
ious. II amounts to the same thing.

EpIroR RJoURNAL:-Allow me TO con-
gratulate the JOURNAL upon its bold ana
straight forward manner Of attacking The
"powers that ben in their schemes Tor I'M
posing burdensome taxes without benefit
The one man power ditch law for Wood
county, compared with the Illinois law,
shows plainly the design of its trainers. In
Illinois the law provides that petition
must be signed by 4 majority OF land
owners, or land owners representing three
Hfths of the land TO be benefited before
the action shall be had toward lis con-
s,tuction. Such law In Wood county
would deprive the ring OF its power to
plunder the Taxpayers, They don't want 1t.
Wonder If the JOURNAL noticed the ex-
trene "modesty" OF young man at the
Republican convention. The young man
with 40 much modes,y is deserving OF a
little free advertising. After the Chair
man had been chosen he said "Mr. Char
man, I move you, sir, that committee o'
one, &c., &c, be appointed on Rules" &c
Carried. "Mr. Chairman, move you, sir
hat committee of one, &c.. &C., be ap-
pointed on Resolutions," which was
adopted. "Mr, Chairman, move you
air, that a committee Of one, &C., be ap
pointed to appor,ion Senatorial Delegates.
"Mr. Chairman, ! move you. sir" ant
not having the attention OF the Chair h'
paused for breath and some ono made th'
motion for the Central COMMITTEES.
At the afternoon session he got in two
motions out OF four for the adoption o
committees reports with his high sounding
preamble; "I move you SIR &e. 1t moved
a good many to inquire what won!d thu
| convention have done without him2 Thi
was the same man who bears the dislinc-
iion of being elected a delegate to th'
State Convention to represe Mt the town
ship without getting the vote of singh
man in his township delegation. He bear
the distinction of being the "coming man
for Auditor OF State, after Foster is choseI
Senator. Such ability ~ should not b
ccutined to the limits of the court house
bnt should be coextensive with that o
the state or nation.

The Ohio Democratic papers are all
simultaneously attacked by loss OF memory
on the subject Of license. Three times a
license proposition has been voted down
by the people OF Ohio. The last time In
1888. This proposition was to repeal the
snii-iicense clause Of the state consli tuition,
and leave the whole matter In the hands OF
tile legislature, thus giving II power to
pass license law Of any character found
desirable. The Total vote oil the state at
that election for governor WAS 7l8 1863; for
this constitutional amendment, 99, ,23s; for
the prohibitory amendment, 323, 3,l29
There is no reason Tor believing that q

CAPTURE or ANDRE.
Execution put Him Through.


DR.. G. B. Dickson, under the nom dc
plume Tarachioanal,, says that no Incl
dent Of the Revolution effected more than
the capture Of the Brili-h spy at Tarry-
town, on Thursday, Sept. 25lh, 1880, the
same forenoon that Benedict Arnold es-
capped 10 the British man OF war at Hobo
ken, opposite New York City. The escape
occurred about 8 o'clock and the capture
at 10. Andre was brought to Gen. Wash.
ingtou's headquarters at Tappan. and i'm.
prisoned, and n court martial sentenced
him 10 he hanged Gen, Washington
tried all in bis power TO effect nm exchange,
saying an Andre Tor an Arnold, but Gen.
Howe then in possession Of New York
would not listen to his proposition, and on
Thursday, Oct. 9th, he suffered The penalty
and Gen. Washington in signing his dea III
warrant shed tears. His little prison still
stands to mark his fate.

THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET,

CToledo Blade, 2ith)
The Blade announced, months ago that
II would not support for the Legislature
any man who would not pledge himself to
vote for the Submission Of an amendment
TO the constitution OF the state prohibiting
the manufacture aud sale uf intoxicating
liquors.
The Republican convention OF Lucas
county made IT'S nominations for the Leg
isalure, and the Hids, a week ago, asked
tile nominees to define their position on
this question, which, up 10 date, lhoy have
declined to do.
The Blade will, therefore, support
neither Of them.
Mr.. Brumback is very respectable
young lawyer, who stands well enough as
u citizen, and is well enough as far as he
goes lie has neither the age or exper-
fence necessary to properly Gil 80 import
ant place, and Is Ivy no means the sort of
man who should be sent TO iepresent so
important y county as Lucas III the Legis-
lniure. However, us the men who ought
| to 20 TO the Legislature will not accept,
the service Of Nr. Brumback is, possibly,
well enough. But as he has accepted the
support Of the beer element of the party,
and spit in The faces Of those who refuse to
he governed by five breweries and 800 beer
shops, the Blade cannot and will not sup
port him.
To ssy that the nomination of Herman
Baumbach was q surprise TO the Republi-
cans Of the county is putting it very mild
". In view of Mr.. Baumbacl's business
and affiliations, IL was 40 insult to the
party, and il looks very much as though il
was deliberate aud premeditaied. At all
events the Blade will not stultify itself by
supporting the nomination. II he is elect
ed, which he will not be, those who nom
mated him must take the responsibility
1t is rather bitter pill which the Blade
will not swallow in the interest Of Repub-
licanism. but this one is altogether too
bitter. Those who were instrumental in
nominating MIR. Baumbach mistake the
temper OF the people. Those VINO are op.
posed to the absolute supremacy of the
liuuor business should not be asked to
vote for such u man, and those who feel but
little on the subject, but who, nevertheless,
have an interest in business other than
liquor, should not.
II this nomination was intended as a bid
for the German vote II was n grave mis-
take. There are no people on earth who
have stronger love for home and decent
Influences. and the better class ot Germans
resent the selection ot Mr.. Baumbach M a
representative Of their race. The Germans
, do not all admit the supremacy OF the beer
keg, nor are they all slaves OF the faucet
In view OF the fact that the Legislature
! to be elected this fall has the election OF an
United States Senator in place OF Hon
, John Sherman, the anti rum voters in the
, Republican party were disposed TO be very
moderate and considerate. 1t would have
been wise for those in the management to
have, at least, refrained from ontraging
them. This they have done in the nom
, ination of Mr.. Baumbach, a man whom
they cannot support, aud who will be OPP
) posed by the better GLASS of citizens, Amer
lean and German. Mr.. Baumbach shoult
, be defeated by most emphatic majority

Now that the principal colleges through
out the country are one after another maxi
ing the study of Greek optional, the Cleve-
land Penny Press asserts that there 10 no
longer any excuse for maintaining 1t as a
pa rt of high school instruction in our
common schools. The necessity for \
knowledge Of Greek in order to gain ad-
mission to the colleges was the last argu-
ment that remained to the advocates OF
that study. A movement has already
been started by the Board of Education OF
that city to abolish Greek in the high
achool.

No,ura, Gas Mt Pittsburgh, Pa.

The coal business in this city is in very
condition. To Use common
expression, 1--WE are all in the dark" in re-
gard to the future. Natural gas is taking
the place of coal in mills, foundries, glass
houses and dwellings. in fact, everywhere.
Ii is cheaper makes better iron, better
glass in fact, makes everything better. Our
streets are being torn up in all directions,
LAYING pipes and making ready for sup-
plying everybody. The only Thing to fear
is great monopoly. In 1888, coal for
the Bedford avenue water works cost the
CITY S44 900. In 1884 the natural gas
company offered to furnish fuel at $42 900.
There was no competition then, there il
now, and the same works are supplied this
year at $4,000, Just one-halT. Another
instance: The Yonng Mems Boarding
House paid for coal for the year 81 500
and ST. 900 for gas light, besides the cost
of putting in coal aud removing ashes ;
this year natural gas does the whole joh
for 81 200. There are many more in.
stances. Just look at Beaver, New Bright
on aud other points. You can burn ms
much natural gas as you please for 81 90
per month. Who wants coal after this?
one hundred millions of dollars invested
In natural gas. The city has very string
ent laws in regard to laying gas through
the streets, the cost of which is about $780,
600 per mile. The difference between
natural gas and coal is n handsome profit
besides doing better work. Many Of tht
large worksh have their own wells, other
will IN soon as they can make the neces-
gary arrangements. You will perceive b,
this what advantages we have over any
other city M manufacturing mart, and
what is still better, doing away with th
abom Unable SCOT and smoke that mad
this the dlriest city in the Union. Tn
change is already very noticeable /; strang
ers ARE asonished at the difference and asl
what we have done with the smoke.

A LONG FIGHT ENDED.
The Contest Between the N. Y. 50 Tribune,
and the Printers Union.

by Telegraph.
New YORK, October 31st.-The officers of
Typographical Union, No. 6, to-day signed
an agreement with the New York Tribune,
Withdrawing all their charges of bad faith
and broken contracts, suspending their boy
cotting, and pledging themselves to advise
all labor organizations and request from
them a similar action. This is the result
of an adjustment which these officers have
reached on the basis first agreed upon with
the Tribune during the hight of the Blaine
campaign, in September, 1884, but after
ward rejected by the Typographical Union
itself. The Tribune remains out of the
union, as it has been for nine years past.
with It's own foreman, and makes absolute
| Iy no change among its employees most of
whom have been non-union men for many
years and intend to remain so. 1t agrees
| to continue paying its present wages to its
weekly hands, which are nearly in all
! cases above the union scale, and to advance
! its rate for piece composition to 46 cents
per thousand ems. This is the price named
/ in the memorandum to which it agreed last
! year, but which the union afterward re-
iected.
In speech to his men this afternoon. an
nouncing the agreement, Whitelaw Reid
thanked them for their conduct to their
employer during the long struggle, and
Salu tnat III consideration OF their splendid
loyalty he should do more than the union
| asked, or he had agreed to a year ago. He
therefore advanced the price for piece COM
position above the union scale to A cents
per 1000 ems. Over one-half of the Ti-ib-
mes printers are Democrats, politics not
being allowed to interfere with It's relations
| to its employees.
1t is said that the Typographical Union
apprehends general movement among
other newspapers for a reduction to 10
cents per 900 ems, and that this was their
reason for accepting the terms they rejected
a year ago, and being willing now to adjust
their difficulties with the Tribune on the
basis Of its remaining non union Office.
