CAMERON.

Everything is moving along here
in its proper channel. Farmers ap-
pear to have their work done and
ready for winter.
John Abersold, a very rcspccta
bic citizen near Cameron, died this
morning. He had been sick all fall,
and got so he could walk about, but
day before yesterday was taken vio-
lently sick again.and ended his life.
On the 4th day of this month |
and several others, of Cameron, were
invited to Mr.. Aaron S. Perry's we'd
ding, four miles from the mouth Of
Captina, in Belmont County, Ohio,
at the residence Of Esquire John
Owens, where AIR. Aaron S. Perry
and Miss Phebe j. Owens were mar
ried late in the evening. After the
ceremony supper,such us is seldom
seen. was served-everything heart
or appetite could wish. Then come
the presents to the bride, which ]
will not try to enumcrate, but costly
and useful they were.
Or. Webb, Of Cameron, has been
very sick the last three or foul
weeks, but is now able to be out.

MIR. HuRD NOT DISCOURAGED,
II hat He Saws of His ReceG: Defeai
asd of the Faturc,

Frank Hurd is not discouraged by
his defest in the Toledo district OF
Ohio. Hc has returned to Washing
ton TO close up some business in
which he is interested here, and is
staying at Wormieys.
Il have no Doubt" he said to
Post reporter yesterday, that my
defeat was mainly due to my views
on the tariff, but the fact that | car
ried the district four years ago and
have failed 10 carry it since does not
indicate, SIS might be supposed, any
backward movement among the peo-
pie on the subject OF tariff. My OPP
ponent four years ago, Mr. king,was
an American Republican, high
protectionist, and the issue was
squarely made. 1t was not so this
year. If there had been straight
out American, high-tarifi' Republi-
can against me, and if it had been a
fair fight between the two sides of
the question, l would have been
elected. But my opponent was a
German who had no convictions on
anything. He is accommodating
and ready to agree TO anything. In
fact, l claimed only the merit Of n
tariff-reformer; whereas he claimed
everything else, and if he regulated
even my one claim he has never been
known to explain why. 1t is true
that Ohio ranks with Pennsylvania
in this, that the Democrats Of that
State are more inclined to protective
tariff than are the Democrats of the
country, all ON account Of the wool
products, and if there is any one
thing in the tariff more stupid than
another, it is the high import tax on
wool"
'You will continue to spread the
doctrine Of progress, civilization and
enlightenment and free trade
! Il shall certainly never desert the
doctrine of free trade. 1t gains
strength by aeitation. The trouble
is to get Che protectionists to discuss
it.. Wherever the issue of free
trade against protection is raised
the enlightened principles of. free
trade prevail. It is proposed to con
solidate number of existing news
papers into one good strong weekly
publication, which will open the
eyes Of Toledo and Ohio and show
, the followers Of the stupid party thu
error of their ways"

1t is said tie leaders of the labor

call an extra session of the t1ftieth
Congress Immediately upon the as

be for the purpose OF considering
legislation in the interest of the
workingmen. Assuming that the
question is of such Importance as tc

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 10, 1886.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 10, 1886.
Again the White House is heav-
ly draped in mourning and workmen
are husily engaged in winding sable
emblens around the marble columns
of The Capitol, Executive Depart
ments and other public buildings.
The White House is looking unusu-
ally clean, having been freshly re-
painted recently, and the best bun
ting has been used upon it in order
that it may not be discolored in wet
weather by the fading Of the cloth
as was the case when it was last
draped. The first announcement of
ex- President Arthur's death was re-
ceived at the White House bf tel
ephone message from the Associated
press. The news spread rapidly
over the city, and the flags on all the
public buildings we're at once placed
at half mast. The President ex-
poets to attesd the funeral in New
York. snd it is probable that COM
mittees will attend representing both
branches Of Congress.
Since President Cleveland owns
real estate in the District of Coium-
bia, he seems to take more interest
in local matters, and has been
brought into more intimate relations
with Washingtonians. He has al
ways had broad views Of the Justice
and necessity of liberal treatment OF
the Capital City st the hands Of
Congress, however, as his treatment
of the subject in his message showed.
In self sought seclusion the Pres,
ident is row working hard on his
second annual message, and it has
already taken quite dofinitc shape.
Other officials as we'll rs the Prcsi
dent have been compelled to 20 into
temporary retirement in order 70 find
quite enough to perform important
work. The sssistant Secretary Of
the Treasury, VI. Faifchili, allows
his office door in the Treasury huild-
ing to remain wide open even when
he would like to avoid disturbance,
and constantly he has a constant
stream of visitors despite the care
of the watchmen. When he has
any work on hand rcquireing CON
ccntrated thought, as is snow thecase,
he betakes himself to his private
home rather than refuse himself td
callers.
The Secretary OF the Treasury
has just broken up an abuse that
has long existed in his department
1t was the substitute system. Clerks
have been in the habit of employing
substitutes anil giving them part O
their wages. Mr.. Manning ISSUED
an order that clerks must perform
the duties for which they were paid
themselves, and required them to ap
pear for duty in person or lie dis
missed. II is useless to say thert
were very few abscntces the deg th,
order went into effect. The srsten
has been greatly abused and ha,
greatly interfered with the cnicienc,
of the force.
1t is too early to decide whethc
the oleomargarinc law is equal t,
the accomplishment of all that i
aims at, hut the first two weeks O
it's operation leads the internal rev
enue officers to figure up an income
to the Government from a millior
to million and a half from thi,
source by the first Of Nov. 1887
