oun esteemed contemporarv the New Era

Our esteemed contemporary the Nep Era,
recently raised the question Of the expenses
of the National Guard of this state at the inau-
guration at Washington where IL COM
planned that the guard was sent at great
cost to the state, "to lend importance and
brilliancy to n Democratic inauguration"
The New Era did not know "what this holi-
day show will cost the taxpayers Of Pennsyl-
vania !" but thought "it may be hundred
thousand dollars, or it may be thrice that
sum-" And the NeW Era wanted 10 know
what the people of the state got for this eek
penditure of several hundred thousand
dollars of their money. -" As has been
stated heretofore, the INTELLIaENcER
recognized no occasion for the presence OF
the National Guard in Washington, but
| when newspaper of standing charges that
several hundred thousand dollars of state
money is spent upon :" big military spree
" to lend eclat to political demonstration
1t should have some slight foundation for its
statements. We are informed that the
| soldiers from Pennsylvania who attended
the Inauguration were transported free, that
| the companies found their own ratons and
| the officers paid their own expenses. In
short, that the 'spree " did not cost the state
several hundred thousand dollars, nor 500,
600, nor $4,000.

THE Mugwumps who found Mr.. Blaine too
hard for political digestion last fall, and turned
in for Cleveland, were to he ostracized by
their former Republican associates but their
number and prominence were so great that
the campaign against them has been aban-
doned Noless person than Theodore Roose-
welt at the last meeting Of the Onion League
club, of New York, offered the following
resolution which was adopted: "RcS0l0ed,
That it is inadvisable for the committee on
admission to question candidates for admis-
sion to the club how they (the candidates)
voted at the last presidential election, and
said committee is hereby requested to omit
any such question Tor the future" And so
the wisdom of the anti-Blaine Republicans,
in rejecting their party candidate, has re-
ccived official sanction from the high priests
of the inner sanctuary of the Republican
temple

A Wild Man Captured.

A special says the mystery of the wild man
who has created such CONSERVATION around
Browns station, Ohio for some time, has
been somewhat cleared up. After despe-
rate fight the wild man was caught. He pre-
sented a fearful sight. Hair covered his
body and he was filthy and savage beyond
description. He lived in a cave In the hills
and subsisted wholly on raw food. He liked
gibberish which could not be understood,
and nothing regarding his history could be
learned. He was committed to the poorhouso
at Steubenyille.

Good Cause For Removal.

The postmaster general, it is said, has
told the Virginians who are demanding
tho removal of all Mahone's postmasters
in that state, that they can only be removed
as their commissions expire, unless specific
charges are made against them. This is
understood now to be the policy Of the ad-
ministration. 1t is needless to say that it is
one which it will be very diff
cult TO carry out altogether. 1t is

COyTENDIyG FOR A MASCOT.
Claimant In Chicago Court for Pr
Fredericka Lenze.

FfeUeflCkH TtHLt,
An interesting contest is going on in the
Chicago county court for the guardianship OF
a little girl. This is Fredericka Lenze, the
7-year-old daughter of Emanuel Lenze, who
killed his wife and then himself lately. No
less than six different people have filed petit
tons for leave to adopt her. She Is remark
ably pretty and intelligent little girl, aud
those who have seen her are not very much
astonished at her popularity. But it is now
said that, in addition to her intelligence and
pretty face and person, many people believe
she is "Mascot," and has the faculty of To-
eating gold mines, finding lost article and so
on.

HENRY Nj. STANLEY has made himself
famous as an African explorer, and whatever
he says about that benightei country is
entitled to respectful consideration. He de-
clares that attempts at permanent occupation
will be useless until railway connecting
Suakin with the Nile has been constructed
and that England all through this Soudan
situation has been putting the cart before the
horse. He further says: "If you want to
make something of the Soudan, give the
people of that country chance to rest Stop
taxation stop the kourbash. Garrison Sua-
kin, Berber and Khartoum with few
sikhs. Assist the principal sheikhs with
money for trading purposes, and take all
other measures practicable to foster the
growth of trade. Tax exports at Suakin,
and at no other point Give trial of five
years of this policy, and then if no English
genius rises to rule the Soudan with the
white wand of peace, remove the railway and
pegone out of the country retaining posses

has her foot in the war puddle now aud with
drawal will mean disgrace in the eyes of her
continental rivals.

A BILL was presented in the New York
Legislature Wednesday providing for the re-
submission to the people of tho question
whether or not the convicts i'm the state
prisons shall be employed at contract labor.
At the last state election the people voted
against the system, and now since it is apparent
that 81, ,000, 900 annually will have to bo ex-
pended to support the convicts, it Is believed
they will reverse their decision. This ques-
ton of contract labor is one that needs care
ful consideration. II permitted, 1t must be
so regulated that il will not come into con
ilict with the regular labor Of the state and
such regulation requires nice discrimination.
1t is very doubtful whether the submission
OF an abstract question like this to the voters
of the state gives it fair trial. Many vote
on the question without intelligence, and as
many more refrain from voting on it at all
1t would seem to be a good plan to place this
regulation of contract labor in tho hands OF a
| commission that would bo held responsible
| for its proper working.

The st. jackson banquet and ball
Thursday night in the Mccarthy

ised. In fact the crowd was much
larger than the managers antlc;pat.
ed. 1t is a fair estimate to say that
one thousand persons were fed in
the banquet hall. OF course it was
not strictly a local affair, and from

stewardship of the Haweaters, the

fully displayed Thursday night.
The repast was elegant and the sup
ply OF delicacies was unlimited, and
if any one went away dissatisfied it
must not be ascribed to lack of prep
aration or torethought of theJackson
Haweaters, for whatever his weak
nesses are politically, he knows
how to entertain royalty. The
crowd was SC dense in the banquet
hall that it interfered materially
with the speech making. The kids

Natural Gas.

A Mr.. Carr of Carr Brothers
GAINESVILLE, and Mr.. Burgess O
Logan, presented an ordinance
to the Council OH last Tuesday
evening, providing for a franchise
of the city for the purpose of sup
plying natural gas for heating
purposes.
The Carr Brothers, we are told
are interested in the oil vel
across the river. The scheme
presented to the Council does moi
provide for time at which work
shall begin, but is simply an op'
tion for all time upon the town
An eterprise that will develop
natural gas and supply it to the
city, should be en-, outraged, but
a plan to get an option upon the
town of Logan was very properly
rejected by our Council.
A number of our Logan citi-
zens, for months past, have been
contemplating engaging in this
enterprise and are only awaiting
the action Of the Council to grant
by an ordinance the right to the
use of the streets.
Messrs. Carr & Burgess should
present a contract to the Council
that they will within a reasonable
time, say six months, commence
operations, and that within a rea-
sonable time, say one year, pro-
duce natural gas, or forfeit the
rights 10 the use of the streets If
a Logan company proposes to do
equally as literally as foreign

be given the Logan company.

enterprise from business men
who will put up forfeit for the

occurred at South Bend, Ind.
The Oliver Chilled Plow Works
at that place have been employ
ing about 1000 Poles. These
men were obtained under a con-
tract labor system, and the Poles
substituted for other men because
they work cheap. Tuesday the
Poles went on a strike, destroy
ing thousands of dollars worth of
property. A dozen or more lives
have been lost.
This is the element the Syndi-
cate is colonizing in the Hooking
Valley. An ignorant, communis-
tic. desperate element, disregard
ing law, and liable to break out,
burn and murder.
Take away the Poles and give
men who have built churches
and school houses a fair chance
to make a living.

Obituary..

Mrs. Mary Louisa Heft, nee,
Ruff, wife of Mr.. Daniel ?. Heft,
departed this life Jan. 5th, 1885, at
her late re:idence in Logan, Ohio.
Deceased was born June 4th, 1858.
at Lima, Allen Co., O. In early
infancy she was brought and given
to the Lord through the Sacrament
of Holy Baptism. and when about
IA years of age she was confirmed
in the Ev. Luthern church at Lima,
O.. by Rev. A. S. Bartholomew.
Her father having died, she, in 18
SO, came with her mother, brother
and sisters to Logan. On April
18th, 1871, she was married to Dan
iel P. Heft. This union proved to
be a h Apply one and the Lord bless
ed it with six children, 3 boys and
8 girls.
Mrs. Heft, although of a rather
weak constitution, always discharg

with Christian submission and fidel

On Dec. 3Oth, 1884, she gave
birth to her sixth child. She had
expressed herself beforehand to-
ward her husband and friends that
this time she would not recover
from her confinement, but expected
to he delivered from all earthly
trouble. What she had thought
and should prove, alas, only too
true. The Lord did deliver her
from all earthly sorrows and pains
and has taken her, as we have good
reason to hope, unto Himself in
Heaven. This occurred Monday
afternoon, Jan. 9Th. at the age of
32years, 7 months and ! day. Her
funeral took place Wednesday

attended by friends and relatives.
