ABOUT as bitter contest over politi-
cal spoils as Mr.. Cleveland will ever be
called upon to decide is that over the
Chicago Marshalship, which he has just
given to man who does not live in
Chicago. There were sixteen applicants
for the position, all from Chicago, and
all buzzing in the Presidents ears, early
and late, buta still, small voice came
up from a Democratic Congressman,
who told the President that if he was
after good man to fill the office he had
one, who, like the President himself,
had been the sheriff of his county, and
who, in county that ordinarily gave
two thousand Republican majority, had
been elected because he was the right
man in the right place. 1t cannot be
denied that the President has exhibited
more backbone in making this appoint
ment than has usually been accorded
to men in his place, because the ele-
ments at work upon him in the inter-
ests of other candidates embraced the
whole leadership of the Chicago Democ-
racy, to say nothing of a vast amount
of outside Democratic pressure from
Indiana, Michigan, Missouri and Wis
consin.

Hon. l.. G. DENNIS, the "little giant
of Alachua," who by his ballot box
frauds in Florida, made Hayes President,
died in Jacksonville, Florida, a few days
since. He made bet that he could
drink two quarts of whiskey at once,
and did it, but died in ashort time with
delirium tremens. He was captain of a
Massachusetts, infantry company dur
ing the war, but located in the South
after the war. He was the engineer of
the fraud in Arthur precinct, No. 2,
that returned 200 frad ulent votes for
Hayes,and thus gave the State to Hayes.
For this work Hayes offered him an in
significant revenue appointment in
Ohio. He declined to accept nothing
for something, and from that day to
this has been furnishing damaging
testimony against Hayes, who aside
from being a fraud appeared to have
been fool.

We are indebted to Pompeii for our
great industry of canned fruits. Years
ago when the excavations were begin
ming a party of Americans found, in
what had been pantry ofa house, many
jars of preserved figs. One was opened,
and they were found to be fresh and
good. Investigation showed they had
been put into jars in heated state, an
aperture being left for the steam to es-
cape, and then sealed with wax. The
hint was taken, and soon after canning
was introduced here, the process being
indentical with that in vogue at Pom
peii twenty centuries ago. There are
many ladies among us who can toma-
toes and peaches for domestic use, and
do not realize that they are indebted for
this to the people of Pompeii.-New

An Ohio Episode.

In what 1t calls IAN Alabama Epis-
ode" the esteemed Tribune Is extreme
ly and editorially excited, not TO say
dreadfully distressed, over the expul-
sion Of colored clergyman and his wife
from a railway car down In Alabama
and a subsequent attack by the eonduc-
tor upon the "Northernefn who had re-
monstrated against the expulsion. 1t Is
true that the conductor who had so
misconducted himself was summarily
brought to justice and fined $25-which
the unsatisfied Tribune characterizes as
"the meagre punishment which public
law in Alabama held reserve for this
brutal exhibition Of Southern lawless-
ness"
But from the news columns of the
same esteemed Tribune of last Sundays
issue, printed on Saturday afternoon,
say within three days or so, we clip the
following interesting telegram:
Turner Graham and his wife, negroes,
were killed by mob armed with shot
guns, after midnight of Thursday.
Graham was a barber, aud he and his
wife were addicted to drink and were
quarrelsome, although harmless to 9TH
ers. They had been away during the
early part Oh the Higni, anu WHtu tnty
had returned the mob riddled them
with shot.
And did this happen down in Ala
bama? Not much. And is it accom-
panied by a bloody-shirt blast over
''Southern lawlessness@ Still less.
This "episOde," which is mildly headed
"A Quarrelsome couple Killed by Mob,
as if that were the quite conventional
disposal of quarrelsome couples, hap
pened out i'm Ohio, in Osgood, Darke
County, where of all places in the coun-
try darky, even if quarrelsome, ought
to get off with his life, say for instance
fine of$25. This same Darke County
gave Mr.. Blaine 1890 votes last tall and
Mr.. Foraker 3,9l5 in the GubernatOral
contest in which he was so badly beat
en- in 1888. But we have looked in vain
in the esteemed Tribune for any bugle
call or bloody-shirt howl summoning to
justice, even for a fine of S25, one of the
lawless Ohioans who SO summarily dis
posed of the colored couple because
they We're "quarrelsome," although
the despatch says harmless to Others"

1T would seem from the evidence of
the architectural experts now being ex-
amined upon an investigation of the
Capitol architect, Mr.. Clark, that the
reign of shoddy commenced in this
country good many years ago. From
this testimony we are informed the
very wall of the Capitol, which we as
sumed would stand in the wear and tear
of centuries of politics and politicians,
have long been in state of disintegra-
tion, decay and destruction. The iron
dome, weighing $500, 200 pounds, is
about to fall upon the heads of the un-
fortunate visitors in the rotunda, with
out moments warning, because of the
shoddy material with which it was
composed, the shoddy printing that
was put into the paint, and the shoddy
labor with which the iron beams were
joined together. Even the bronze fe-
male that surmounts the dome to rep
resent the freedom shriekers,is warped
out of all shape and looks as though it
had just emerged from case of second
ary ricketts,.

STRANGERS and outsiders pass their
Judgment on town by papers that are
published in it,. If few struggling
lads" appear, they say the town is dead,
the merchants have no business, or lack
enterprise and spirit. If on the other
hand, attractive advertisements filling
column after column meet their eye,
they form very different notion of the
town, and they say it is live town,
with energetic and progressive mer-
chants, and thatit means business. 1t
gives confidence to the outside world
in the business of the place, not attained
otherwise. There is no channel which
the life blood of a town SO quickly flows
as through the ad vertising columns of
its newspapers.

EX-GovERNoR Chas. Foster was a
delegate to the Republican State Con-
vention at Springfield last week. He
was q Foraker man. Seneca county
had eight delegates in the State Con-
vention, seven besides the Ext Governor.
Foster invited the other seven to his
room before the balloting for Governor
commenced. There he gave in his
arguments in favor of Foraker's nomi-
naUion. The seven Seneca county dele
gates listened courteously to Mr.. Foster
in Difference to the positions he had
held as Republican, his standing in
the councils of his party and his liberal
donations to the campaign funds in the
past. The meeting of the Seneca county
delegates was ended and they went to
the Convention to cast their ballots for
Governor. Result: Foraker one vote,
cast by Hon. Chas. Foster, Ex-Gover-
nor of Ohio -1l6in Nescs.

THERE are some Democrats who
think President Cleveland is moving
slow in turning the Republicans out to
brouse. They should stop and think,
he has been i'm office but little over
three months, yet in the single depart
ment of the internal revenue he has
appointed Democrats in 60 out of the
"a districts, and the remaining "a will
be changed in a short time. The re-
naming collectors to be changed are
one each in Colorado, Delaware, Florida,
Indiana, Maryland, Missouri, Montana,
New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio
and Wisconsin; five each in Illinois and
New York, and three in Pennsylvania.
Before many days there will not be a
Republican revenue collector in the
country.

A Democrat asks us: "Are not the
issues OF the war dead? We answer no,
not 50 long as the second Office In the
country is occupied by q notorious cop
perhead and sympathizer with the
Southern Confedeacy.-Signdi.
The Signal goes at things and makes
big sounding assertions just as II its
readers read nothing else than what
was contained in that sheet. But its
readers are intelligent and take no stock
in its dead war time phrases. But, as
the &gndihas much to say concerning
positions given to people in the South
by President Cleveland, we will refresh
its mind somewhat by giving few Of
the prominent notorious copperheads
and sympathizers with the southern
confederacy" who were appointed to
high official position by Republican
Presidents, and that too at time when
war wounds were yet fresh. The list
could be augmented, but the following
will be sufficient to show the Signal
how silly 1t appears in the eyes of its
readers, who think and read for them
selves:

THE Republicans Of Ohio have de-
elared, in letters SO plain that all may
read, that theirs is not a national but a
sectional party-a party of hate, that
tears open old wounds, incites neighbor
against neighbor, that few of their
leaders may again reach their hands in
To- the public treasury and fill their
capacious pockets.
