PEACE.

Nothing since the war was over has so
emphasized the fact that the country is
at peace and that the issues of that dread
struggle are being forgotten as living is
sues and only remembered as things OF
the past, as the death of General Grant.
Throughout the land his loss is mourned,
and among his pall-bearers are those who
fought against him in battle. Gen. Grant
was the first to cry ''Let us have peace"
and now that cry has been answered.
And why should it not be so? The men
who fought for the ideas of the South
were vanquished, but they were brave
and noble men and were as devoted TO
their cause as those who saved the Union.
To-day they are beginning to recognize
that had things remained as they would
have wished, perhaps they would have
been much worse than they were and
are. The old issues are forever OF the
past, and in the South now that the ques-
ton that once was paramount to all is re-
moved from the realms OF political life,
the people are beginning to divide
upon other issues. What could have
been more unexpected few years since
than that son OF Governor Wise OF
John Brown fame would run on Repub-
lican ticket for the Governorship OF
Virginia against son of Robert
E. Lee as the Democratic candi-
date for the same office? With two such
men il the field for the same Office and on
different platforms it is not possible to
raise the bloody shirt issue which did
duty for so many long years. When new
issues are born old issues perish, and the
past is forgotten in the present. And
so it should be, for to be for
ever dwelling upon the past is to
and lose sight of the
of the present. 1t is a pleasant
thought to know that while the Nation
mourns the death of General Grant
all voices of harsh discord are hushed,
and that among the pall-bearers will be
Sherman and Sheridan, Buckner and
Fitz- Hugh Lee. Let no one in the future
ever reproach a Northern or Southern
man with the issues of the war and
thereby seek to stir up sectional strife
but as the hero of the war is buried so let
the war and its walls be buried.

it somewhat in bad taste and improper
for an Election Judge to solicit votes
from people, he replied that he
was going to do all he could to
help his party His party, it is needless
to say, is the Republican or Liberal
party, and it was the Liberal ticket for
which he was working.
No Election Judge, no matter what his
politics may be, has any right to prosti-
tute his Office in any such manner, and
those who appointed him to Office should
investigate the case. Such things should
not be, whether a man be Republican,
Peoples party man, or Democrat,
and his conduct would be equally as
reprehensible and offensive no matter
for what ticket an Election Judge might
be canvassing. And such is the result Of
having non-partisan Commission ap-
point all election officers. 1t is some
what of a new departure to have the
General Government pay Election Judges
for canvassing and electioneering for the
candidates of particular party. Else
where such proceedings would be char
acterized as an outrage upon all citizens,
and they approach very near to the work
of the Teachers in the Peoples party.
Appointing such men to be Election
Judges is of a piece with appointing a
candidate for Representative to the Legis-
lature to declare the result of an election
in the result of which he is deeply inter
ested. But the names of the great men
who do such things are the warrant for
such proceedings being straight.

MONARCHICAL DANGERS.

Americans all along have been accus-
toned to congratulate themselves upon
the fact that in this country there are no
dangers TO fear from the baleful influences
of monarchical ideas. Such may be the
case, but the new American Minister to
Italy, Judge Stallo, warns American pa
rents who go to Europe against another
danger This danger is that marriage
able daughters OF Americans are liable
to he much sought after by Europeans,
and that fond papas and ambitious mann
mas as are apt to lose their daughters
In recent interview, says the Alta Cali
tOrRid, Judge Stallo expressed himself as
follows: Gentlemen who 90 abroad with
manageable daughters run great risk
know dozen gentlemen in Ohio who
have gone to Europe with manageable
daughters who came home deserted"
The men of Europe who seek in marriage
the daughters of Americans, las rule, may
be termed adventurers. OF course such
is not always the case, but too frequently
it is. Europeans believe that all Ameri-
cans who travel are wealthy, and that
those who travel with manageable
daughters, are especially wealthy and
that if they can but succeed in capturing
the hand OF such daughters, they will reap
great monetary reward. The Alta puts
the case very much as il is, and rather
mildly than otherwise:
The Minister to Rome knows the ways of
the European dude. He knows that this
character of the day looks forward TO a
marriage with an American heiress as natur- (
ally as a beggarly German prince thinks
that the purposes of Providence will not be
fulfilled unless he marries an English prin-
cess. For q considerable class in Europe
the younger sons of English nobles French
counts, seedy German bsrons, bandy-legged /
Italians of doubtful pretensions, soldiers of /
fortune in all the armies of genteel poverty /
in fact, the whole of that class of males
who are of good families, with nothing else
about them that is good-marriage is dis
tlnct career, and an American marriage is
preferred.
With such as these, and class not
quite so high socially, marriage is looked
to as the one event in their lives that is
10 cause fortune to smile upon them. To
such, marriage is what the investment of
the savings OF many years of hard earned
money is to him who stakes his all upon
the purchase of stock in the mining
market. 1t is safe to say that there are
ten matrimonial adventurers in Europe to
one in America. Lady Churchill has
made an enviable reputation, but such
cases are rare. VIII anyone believe for
4 moment that Prince Colonna married

The manufacturers of the East are
having the most trouble with the Poles,
Hungarians and Italians, whose poverty
at home rendered it possible to bring them
over in large bodies under contract. This
is the Chinese system applied to Euro
peans; and they have caused much more
trouble than the men whose places they
were imported to fill. Such form of i'm
migration is not the natural result of vol
untary effort, and is, consequently, not to
be encouraged. The manufacturers are
responsible for most of the difficulties
they have brought upon themselves.

HORSE THIEVES TAKE Two HORSES
FROM A MoNoNGALlAN.-The Waynes-
burg Republican of last week gives
the following concerning the theft of
two horses in the east end of this
county
son Thursday night of last week,
two horses were taken from the pas
ture field of Alpheus Sine, who re-
sides just across the West Virginia
State line, near Blacksville. The
animals were valuable, Mr.. Sine con-
sidering them worth in the neighbor-
hood of $500. One was large bay
weighing some 1900 pounds and the
other a fine black with left hind foot
white and weighing over 1000 lbs.
The thieves were seen by several per-
sons and Mr.. Sine had little trouble
in tracking them to this place. But
as all trace of them seemed to end
here he telegraphed description OF
the horses to all the nearby towns,
and offered reward for their recov-
cry and the apprehension of the
thieves. Suspicion, however, rested
upon one Jno. Pounds, whom it will
be remembered was sent to the Peni
Tertiary some years ago from this
county for the crime Of bigamy. Ac
cordingly warrant was taken out
for his arrest and placed in the hands
of Constable John Robson, who in
!, company with some others proceeded
to the neighborhood of Pounds ole
stamping ground, a few miles east o
: town. There was found the Sbay
, horse, but the thief, be he Pounds OF
who he may, with the other hors'
was not to be found. We under
stand the warrant is still in tn
! hands of the officer, and if Pound
: is wrongfully accused the prope
/ course will be to submit to the arres
} and prove his innocence. 1t is as
serted that he in company with a
!. unknown person, were seen in tn
neighborhood of Blacksville on tn
| night of the theft, but as to the trut
of this statement we have nothin

Our YIsIToRs.-During last week
and including the early part of this
week the members of the West Vir-
ginia Conference of the M. P. Church
and about one hundred teachers of
this county, were the guests of
Morgantown. Both bodies have been
pleasant visitors. The members are
of the learned professions, conse
quently are intelligent and agreeable
folks. We have met many Of each
and without exception they are gen
tie, companionable men and women.
Associating with them inspires a
high regard for them personally and
for their respective professions. The
labors of both go hand in hand.
Either without the other would lack
co-adjutor of incalculable strength.
The earnest efforts of these profess
ions assisted by the Press exert a
power for good on the world that is
recognized by but few; yet the three
combined direct and control very
largely the thought and action of
the civilized world. These callings
as a rule enlist the services of the
best men and women of the country.
The meetings here were full Of inter
est as the councils of any body
of Intelligent men and women must
be. We doubt not it was as profita'
BILE to them as pleasant to us. The
teachers left on Monday evening
after the examination and the minis
tiers yesterday. To both we are in
debted for courtesies. The teachers
in body visited the New DOMINION
office on Wednesday to witness the
operation of printing newspaper by
steam. We appreciate the compli
ment paid us in this and only regret
our inability to entertain over lOl
visitors at one time. We hope tt
meet them all again.
