.UNFAlR."

The Springfield Globe-Republic is very un-
fair when il seeks 10 create the impression
that Copgressman-sle Little ran near 1000
votes behind his ticket-Xenia Gazette.
The GLoBE-REPUBLIC sought to create
no impression at all. 1t sought simply to
correct false impression.
By that ingenious advertising which
some men are so lucky in obtaining, Mr..
Little was represented to be so popular as
to have carried the Eighth District by a
surprising majority. But the Gazette
knows as well as the GLoBE-REPUBLIC does
that this was fulsome foolishness; and it
was not judicious advertising to copy it in
Xenia, without explanation. 1t was q
misrepresentation of the normal Repub-
Hcan strength of the Eighth District in the
interest of one man. The GLoBE-REPUBLIC
corrected it, in justice to the great body OF
Republican voters of this district, none Of
whom we're what the Gazette calls kick
ers" except the two or three hundred
in Mr.. Little's own county. We
quoted Mr.. Blaine's vote to show that
Mr.. Little's majority was owing to the
Republican strength of the district
and not, as was falsely advertised, to Mr..
Lrttle's strength at all II that was ''un-
fair" the truth is Unfair.
The Gazette says that Little ran ahead
of the state ticket in the district. No; he
ran a few votes ahead OF the head of the
state ticket; but lust so did the other can
didates on that ticket, as the Gazette omits
to state Robinson ran considerable be-
hind the other names on the state ticket,
and the real Republican majority was es-
timated By the vote for Flickinger We
shall publish the figures some day for in
struction The whole duty OF . newspa-
per is not discharged in personal pufs; a
part OF its duty IS performed in puncturing
puffs.

The Rlel war Is getting 10 be quite a
war after all and unless something is
done at once to satisfy that gentleman,
the disturbance is likely 10 grow into
serious and to the disadvantage of the
Canadian government. A late dispatch
from Ottawa has the following to say OF
the situation.
In the house of commons this after.
noon Sir John Macdonald said he regret
ted that he had to announce massacre at
Frog Lake, about forty miles north Of
Fort Pitt. A telegram had been received
from Inspector Dickens, commander of
the mounted police at Fort Pitt, giving
the names Of the following persons as
having been killed: G. T. Quinn, In.
dian agent, half breed; John Delaney,
farm instructor miller named Gowen
lock and his wife; Rev. Father rorfar
and Lamarchand two lay brothers. Mrs.
Delaney was taken prisoner and carried
of. The tate Of Cameron, the Hudson
Bay company's agent is unknown. There
were thirteen families at Frog Lake, and
it ls thought the number OF killed is
much larger than that given. Inspector
Dickens is said to be son Of Charles

law Is voted by large number OF native

hold on to it. The men who wanta drink

advices show that the farmers are pro-
curing copies Of the law and will take ad-
vantage of the facilities extended to them
as soon as they become sufficiently nc
quainted with its working. The law has
been much lnve,ghed against, but it is
believed after all, its effects Will DC of
great benefit. Donald AlcFadden Of Val
