THE TOBACCO QUESTION.

On Monday last the farmers of
Lancaster, Pa, and other business
people of that section, held a meet
ing in relation to the importation of
Sumatra tobacco. The farmers of
that portion OF Pennsylvania are
largely interest in the cultivation of
tobacco, and they are claiming ina
bility to compete with the prices of
the Sumatra product. Summaries
tobacco crop, all of which is produ-
ced by Coolie labor, has increased
from Is, 900 bales in 1874 to l25, 900
bales in 1884, and 80 per cent. of
the increase has been imported into
America. Coolie labor amounts
simply to slave or pauper labor, and
the farmers and growers of this coun-
try cannot successfully cope with it.
These coolies work for nothing and
live on scraps. The American labor
a. cannot do this, and Congress must
recognize that fact.

"EPIDEMIC IN MARTINsBURG.--
There Is much alarm in Martlnsburg,
w. Va, over the prevalence of what
seems to be cerebro-spinal meningitis,
there having been thirty five cases with
in the past few days. Half a dozen
deaths occurred on Saturday and Mon
day. The physicians are at loss to
account for the sudden visitation. -
Repository (Chanabersburg).
We desire our neighbors to correct
the above. We have no epidemic here.
Martinsburg is generally so healthy that
any sickness out of the usual ordinary
aches of life, is noticed, and the rainy,
wet fall, following such dry, sultry
summer, may have occasioned more
than the usual illness. The statement
is incorrect as to the number of deaths
occurring on Monday and Saturday
Ten deaths will cover period OF three
weeks, and two of these were from old
ago and paralysis.

HOLD ON QUAKER.

Again we present our compliments
to our brother of the Berkeley
Springs Neaos and beg to say that
eur remarks had nothing to do with
either his politics, religion or sub
soribers. We wish him NO harm.
We hope he may get rich and pros
per, and add to his list of sabscri-
bers, but in doing that we trust he
will not asperse the characters of
his fellow-citizens, though they be
of opposite political faith. The law
requires the publication of finan-
eial statement, beyond a doubt, by
the County Court--not by the clerk,
and without intending to be unpleas-
ant, we think tho father of the edi-
tor was member of the County
Court and should have had an order
entered to comply with the law.
Are we correct, brother? As you
say you did not mean to asperse the
characters of Messrs. Smith and
Dawson, that removes the only diff
ference between us. So, Mr.. News
eur amiability remains unbroken
and We wish you luck.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Decemo Ger 49,
DR. Vonderbect has extracted a cher
~ stone from the ear of Mimic Heck
Ell, year old child living on Gray,
between Hancock and Clay streets.
The circumstances attending the op-
GRAFTON are peculiar. One year age
the child was playing with some
cherry stones, and put one in her
left ear. She did not say anything
to her parents about it, and they
would not have discovered that any
thing was wrong had not the child
complained Of the ear hurting her.
DR.. Vonderbeck was summoned
several months ago, and has been
on the cas- evere since. When he ex-
tractcd the stone it was fennd that
it had sprouted.

CONGRESH.

Practically, this the great legisla-
hive body of the country has not &C
complished anything in now nearly
two weeks OF existence. In the
House Of Representatives there has
been a miserable struggle for party
leadership under the guise of change
OF rules. Mr. Randall was often and
repeatedly attacked by co-democrats
Of the ultra free trade principle, and
he was thereby forced to defend his
protection ideas, and in ehampioning
his principles forced recognition as
the leader of the House If the tariff
is to be tortured and patched, then
we can look out for ruin and lower
depth of business depression. Capt.
