SATURDAY. FEB. q, 1885.

Our neighbOr desires us to set him
and ourselves right with reference
to our allegation about "malignant
hate" We have this to say: We
did not mean that our neighbor hated
us or any other individual malignant
ly. We did, however, assume from
his unfounded statements and unjust
charges that he had and still has
very strong hatred for the Republi-
can party. If the Democrat has no
hatred for the Republican party, if
the untrue statements it contained
were not wilfully made, then we
withdraw the charge of hatred, &c.
Our neighbor says the law-Acts
1867, chapter 300, require road super
visors to give bond. Now does he not
know that this act was a local law
applying to three or four of the south
ern counties of the State. Again he
refers the people to the Revised
Code. Sec. /, title County Commits
sioners. Now we respectfully submit
that this section does not require road
supervisors to give bond. 1t is ap-
parent that our neighbOr is mistaken.
as anybody who can read may see by
referring to the two sections of law.
Our neighbor refers to the good
condition of the Johnstown road in
support of a former allegation upon
that subject. This road, as is we'll
known, was not improved by the
present board of commissioners un-
less we are wrongly informed. Our
neighbor says he only proposes to
state facts. Now if he will do that
there Will be no war of words or con-
troversy, personal nor otherwise.
What we have heretofore complain
ed of is that our neighbor has made
what we conceived to be so many
misstatements. We have not intend
ed to be offensive in any sense nor do
we propose to be in the future. Next
week we will take up our neighbours
articles in relation to county affairs
and show how consistently he has
stated facts.

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 14.-The Pitts
burgh Manufacturer has the follow
ing in this weeks issue: There can
he no question that the labor situa-
ton in connection with the rolling
mills and nail factories of the west at
the present time is more serious than
it has been for many years, and that
there is growing belief among many
clSSeS of iron works that necessity
exists for concession in the rate of
wages. They are even questions
whether the policy that has been pur-
sued in the past in maintaining the
rates of wages on a $3.50 card has
been a wise one in view of the in
roads of steel, and the constantly in
creasing number of men in certain
classes of employment in the iron
mills that are thrown out of work,
There are all sorts of rumors and but
little definite information as to the
intention of labor in the near future.
Indeed it is questionable if they
themselves know what they purpose
doing, or haYe reached any conelu-
sion as to the line of policy they will
pursue.
1t is rumored that the lodges are
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of max
ing 10 per cent reduction of the
scale, but there can be doubt that the
gravity of the situation at Wheeling
is alarming the boilers of that dis
trict, and that they will take some
steps to meet or counterfeit the grow
ing substitution of steel for iron.
Their plan would be, if feasible, to
compel the payment of such increas-
ed wages in the manufacture of steel
nails and other forms of steel that are
being substituted for iron as to max e
it Improbable to continue the use of
steel, but probably extreme difficulty
would be found in enforcing such
rules at the present time, and wisdom
would dictate concession in wages
in connection with boiling and sim
liar classes Of employment that are
affected by the introduction of steel.
This substitution is more marked
in connection with nails and sheet
iron probably than other branches
of iron manufactured. Already the
Riverside and Bellaire nail mills in
in the Wheeling district have built
steel plants, while the Benwood have
one in process of construction. Many
mills also have found such demand
for steel nails that they have been
compelled to purchase slabs from diff
ferent steel works. Some of these
mills are contemplating the erection
of steel plants in the near future.
While no sheet mill has as yet erect
ed steel plant to manufacture slabs,
large quantities of slabs have been
purchased by these mills, especially
those manufacturing fine stamping
irons, and what is of still more inn
portance to the industries of this
country, much of this steel has been
imported, the soft and tough Ger
man basic steels supplying most of
the demand.

Lumber Statistics.
JUNIUS.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, Feb. 14.-The
Northwestern Lana6ernaan will pub
lish this afternoon an exhaustive re-
view of the lumber produced in the
Northwest. The white pine lumber
cut in 1884 was 500, 533, 1854 feet as
compared with 1924. 7S9,S86 in 1888,
the single production in 1884 was
1888, $4,000 against 1864, 756.639 in
1888. There are on hand at the mills
3,515, 1853, 416 feet of lumber. 43 per
cent of the entire cut. The lumber
at the distributing markets makes
the entire stock on hand nearly 6,OOO,-
900, 900 feet.

When the B. & O. decided to make
lower rates than ever before for any
inauguration, it did so in the full
conviction that such concessions to
the public at such times should be
complete and without reservations
whatever. On other lines it would
seem that certain trains are consider
cd entirely too good for the average
Washington passenger, and that a
reduction in rates means simply that
slow train time can be had at a less
figure than usual, but for first-class
and modern time the old rule Of not
only the regular fare, but doubled,
should be eXacted. In other words,
on the B. & o. every train, both linn
tied and Others, is open for the con-
yenience and comfort of Inauguration
passengers, no extra charges being
made of any description, and no at
tempt made at eXclusiveness. On
other lines Inauguration tickets are
not good on limited trains, and the
reduction in rates is not considered
to apply to them. These facts it will
be advisable to remember when the
time for the purchase of tickets
comes.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1885-02-21

Compare carefully the time sched-
ule of the B. d O. with the much
Wanted and so-called "limited" time
schedules of other lines, and note
points which must be of interest to
the visitor to the Inauguration, as
they directly concern his pocket-book.
Observe that the B. & O. "Iimited
express trains" not only equal in time
those of rival roads, but not infre-
quently excel; and this, notwith-
standing the cool manner in which
"extras" are demanded, upon the
assumption that all the earth cannot
produce such facilities. time, and all
that sort of thing, you know, as af.
forded on lines where the "lmit"
generally refers to the extent of the
passengers "ducats." On pictures.
que B. 4 0. no extras are demanded.
nothing above the usual fare exacted.
and one simply pays his money and
takes his choice of trains to the inau-
guration, and is not told he cannot
go on the "limited."

There is man in Emanuel county,
Georgia, who, forty years ago, sold
his wife for jug of whisky. Sever
al days later he was presented with
the wife of man who had grown
tired of her. The woman first traded
was afterward sold for a bushel of
corn. All hands then settled down
IN the same neighborhood, and have
lived there ever since, surrounded
with descendants who are among the
most respectable people of the county.

The b. & o. is, in every essential.
an American road, ever viewing the
proper functions of an American rail-
way to be to give the most for the,
least money. In other words, the af-
feetatiOns of exclusiveness not a valid
excuse for doubling demands in the
shape of extra fares, and that sort of
thing. To go tothe inaug ration via
the Is. d o. means to have money
enough lett to pay expenses, and a
little more. Also, that the passenger
upon arrival at the depot in time for.
any train, will find his ticket good
for that train. Upon some othce,
roads it will be found different.

From Oyer the Ocean.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-SOme excite
ment was created here to-day espe-
clally in commercial and financial
circles, by the receipt of dispatches
from Berlin announcing thatthe Rus.
sian Government has ordered two
thousand Krupp guns for the purpose
of strengthening its position in Cen
trail Asia. The guns are to be of the
largest pattern and are evidently in
tended for service in fortresses of SUI
perior build. simultaneously with
the above report came dispatches
from st. Petersburg, stating that
SebastOpOl would be made a free port.
The newspapers that have been
publishing reports of Russian agrees
sion in Central Asia hadaroused some
excitement, which Wasintensified by
the news above given. The latest
report published is 10 the effect that
the Government has only Just now
become aware Of the fact that Russian
troops are within forty miles of Herat
IN AfghaniStan, as the newspapers
have been asserting for weeks past,
and that the seizure of Herat by the
Russians is possible at any moment.
The editorial comments assert that
the failure of General Zeloni, the Rus
sian Commissioner for the delimita.
ton of the Russo Afghan boundary
to join Sir Richard Lumsden and the
English Commission at the scene of
their labors, was pretext on the part
OF M. De Giers the Russian Premier,
to gain time in order to fully prepare
his scheme of annexation in Afghan
iStan.
There is no doubt that if the Tories
were in power, with such man as
Disraeli for Premier, the seizure of
any portion of the Afghan territory
would be considered tanamOunt to
declaration of war. Bullying dis
patches would have been sent long
ago from London to st. Petersburg,
but" as one of the editorial writers
sadly remarks, Mr.. Glandstone will
doubtless find some plausible excuse
which will satisfy himself"
The European bourses are daily
more or less affected by reports of
Russian aggressiOns in Central Asia,
and it is certain that there would be
a big crash in the London Stock Ex-
change if the seizure of Herat by the
Russia troops were announced. A
popular cutlery would be raised which
would compel the Government to
vastly increase the strength of its
army and navy. The seizure of Herat
in the near future is almost certain,
and it will have very depressing
effect on the English markets. But
the operators in American products
long for the crash to come, as they
fully believe that the result of the
seizure of any part of Afghanistan
would be the blockading of Russian
ports by the British feet, thus pre-
venting Russia from competing with
America in the English and Cont
mental markets for the grain and pc
troleum trade.

We say calmly "when | die" and
state our wishes, but who of us,
think definitely Of what the speech
means. Sometimes in most incon-
gruous moments, in the hurry of bust
ness, during gay scenes of pleasure,
at time when the stream of life
seems never ceasing and abundant,
comes the sudden startling vision of
personal death in binding letters,
'ThoU shalt surely die" and for a
brief instant the faculties grasp the
full reality of the sentence. while the
spirit with sharpened, agonized sense
vainly wrestles-what is death

The fact that the only other line
from the West must reach Washing
ton by circuitouS route, and that
all its passenger traffic from the
North and E st must combine with
all its Western traffic on the last

favor of the B. & O., which enters
Washington from the West by one

The Jackson advertiser, a progress

the establishment of convict colonies
in Alaska and the general transfer to
that Territory of the scoundrelism of
this great country. 1t is an idea
worth considering. Part of the
scheme is that women convicts
should be sent there as we'll as men.
and that they should be allowed to
marry and settle.

fence That is. the $50 for 10 wears with
interest is equal 10 Si3.33 per annum. The
interior fences will cost twice a. mach.

which really authorizes any man TO let his

Making Bacon.

Bacon is made Of the sides and belly of
the pig. When the carcass is split into
halves and the loin cut off, the thin meat is
made into bacon; sometimes the shoulders
are left on, and then the side is called a
fitch of bacon. To prepare good bacon
proceed as follows trim the sides and If
desired, take out the rib bones; this is an
advantage, and should be done; mix thor
oughly for each 100 pounds of meat
pounds Of salt. pounds Of brown sugar,
and 4 ounces of saltpetre; rub the meat on
the flesh side with salt and lay il skin up
permost to drain for "a hours; then wipe it
with clean dry cloth or brush it with a
whlss, which is better, and turn the skin
down. then rub the flesh side with the salt
mixture, sprinkling little surplus upon it;
lay one piece upon another, all the skin side
down; put board and weight on top of
the heap and leave it for week then brush
as before and rub and sprinkle again, and so
repeat for three weeks then hang the sides
in a smoke-house aud smoke for 10 minutes
daily for 10 days; pack the meat in boxes
with dry bran or chat or cut hay snd keep
it in dry place.
