The authorities at Washington have been
formally notified that the American flag has
been wantonly insulted and hauled down in
Canadian waters. The notification will prob
ably be fled away in the State Department
among the Presidents private" papers. The
Secretary of State has shown no disposition
to deal with the dispute between American
and Canadian fishermen. Even small power
like Mexico is too much for him.

Dear Sir-In order to reach the German voters in
more effective manner we are preparing reading mat
ter for them and have arranged that they may
respond with in their language. 1t is also
| contemplated to bring about organization among
themselves to parallel and In unison with the
| main organization. For these purposes you are re-
spectfuly and earnestly requested to give us small
number of addresses of German Democrats in your
county well considered to locality and activity at
your earliest convenience Respectfully,
EB HENDERSON, Chairman
| Mr. Henderson wants 'fhe doubtful fell
lows" and his instructions are not to fail to
understand that doubtful fellows must be
had Just what the cash price of 'the doubt
full fellows" may be expected to be Mr.. Hen
derson does not say, but they must be had.
The talk of Republicans leading voters to the
polls and forcing them to vote against their
| sentiments is of course, merely a
negative way of telling Democrats how to lead
up tAejr purchased men and vote them ac-
cording to the terms of the bill Of sale. The
| Dem ocratic workers are instructed to chal-
lenge or have challenged all the Republican s
| possible, and to organize a sufficient force to
see that Republicans are intimidated wher-
ever possible and democrats allowed to take
active control of the election. This is the
| Democratic game, wherever they feel strong
enough to play it. They are preparing for it
in indianapolis, and will prepare for it wher-
ever they can put it in operation, under the
| impetus of such man as 'Sim" Coy who is
the directing force of the Democratic cam
paign
These schemes and plots the Republicans
must meet. They must be met by organiza
| ton; by unfinching work and determination;
by the law, and by the immediate arrest and
unrelenting prosecution of any and every
scoundrei who attempts fraud or intimidation.
The "gerrymander" is as much as Repub-
licans should be asked or expected to stand
If that is to be supplemented by fraud and
intimidation tactics, on the Democrats be the
responsibility.
The effort to capture the German vote may
we'll be left to Germans themselves. There
are too many elfrespecting men among Ger
man Americans to permit such shameless
proposition to vote them as so many sheep to
succeed. But it is well for Republicans and
the people of the State to know the plots of
the disreputable Democracy

some extent.
The bark season is about over, and
the mountain timber men are getting
ready to commence the crosstie bus
mess for the winter season.
There seems to be more money in
the timber business at the present
time than anything else; grain and
all other farm products are so low
that there is not much to be made at
farming. But one consolation that
mountain farmers have is, that when
they get their fall work all done they
can go in the timber business for the
winter.

hauled out of this part of Back Creek

In the election of the q. s. Sena-
tor, no Republican should support
Camden. In many Of the districts
and counties the fight was made on
anti Camden grounds. His re-elec-
tion by the Democrats would make
this State entirely Republican. 1t
is question whether the Democrat.
ic members of the Legislature will
support him unanimously, but most
likely they will. The pressure that
pulled many members through by
small majorities will be exerted to
accomplish the end in view. The
Republicans have a fighting chance
in the Legislature, and should use it
to make the best possible record.
This done, the next Legislature will
be Republican.

Mrs. Henry Civilians. Though young
in years (being yrs, and IL days old),
she will be sadly missed by old and
young. Her beaming coal-black eyes,
which gave a brilliant expression to
her otherwise charming features, her
salutatlon, how dye do,n many
other charming qualities seldom pos
sessed by one so young, cannot but be
missed. But more than this will she
be missed by her aged father, loving
mother and affectionate brother. The
circumstances connected with her
death are of most painful nature,
adding much to the sadness oft. Yet,
1t is a consolation to know that it was
divinely ordained, and now she lives
in the house of many mansions"

Jacob Yost is subject of congratu-
lation to every Republican in
Virginia. The magnificent run
which he made IN the Tenth dis

the history of the State. Confront
ed with majority for Lee of about
$500, Yost boldly and bravely met
the issues, not deigning to occupy
au equivocal or doubtful position,
and the result has been a glorious
vindication both of his manliness
and of his sagacity. His majority
will be about two thousand. The
