the relatives of Elias Dennison, to
the number of twenty or more, assem-
bled at his residence, in Beech Woods,
on Wednesday, Oct. 13. The day was
all that could be wished for, and was
very PLEASANTLY passed in conversation
and music. All seemed to enjoy
themselves and none more than Mr..
Denison, who is one of the pioneers
of the county, being in the SD year of
his age. AT 2'o'clock dinner was an
nounced, to which all did ample JUS
tice, after which all repaired to the
front yard. where they were entertain
ed with some excellent music by the
loDker band, until time for departure
arrived, when they all dispersed TO
their respective homes wishing their
hnst and hostess many happy returns
of the event.

Tbs Jail question.

On Tuesday, November End, the
proposition to build a new Jail for the
county will be submitted to vote of
he people. That new Jail is needed
is fact recognized by every person
who has seen the present one. The
grand jury has repeatedly condemned
the building as being unfit for the
purposes of a Jail, which fact alone is
sufficient reason for erecting a new
one. The present structure is foul
and filthy hole, unworthy of even the
name of Jail. A damp atmosphere
renders it unhealthy, and to cOntine "a
Person with weak lungs in such a
death trap is simply inhuman, A
horrible stencil arising from some
source is almost always prevalent, and
at times is unbearable. Added to its
being such ali unhealthy place to con
fine human being in, it is an old,
insecure building, rendering escape
comparatively easy to any desperate
prisoner whose wits are sharpened by
a desire to regain his liberty.
Some will say that any place is good
enough for a criminal. The object OF
all punishment is the protection OF
society and the reformation of the of
fender, and not, as is supposed by
some, to take revenge on the criminal
A man is no less a human being be-
cause he is charged with violating the
law, and he is as much entitled TO the
protection of life aud health as Tia,
most exemplary citizen. But thi.
needs no further comment. To con.
clude, for the health, cleanliness and
safe keeping of the prisoners, a new
Jail is needed, and every voter in Por-
tage County should respond with q
" Yes" to the proposition.

At Charleston.

CHARLESTON, Sept. "a United Press re-
porter who arrived this morning from Wash
ington, and has made a careful examination
of the situation of the city from the effects Of
the earthquake and gives it as his opinion that
the press reports have not been exaggerated,
but rather have fallen short OF the description
of the devastation. Charleston is but a
trembling crust Of ruins this morning, and
her most substantial buildings appear TO hang
together only by the hairs in the mortar.
People are yet terrorized, though the conster-
nation is less than twenty-four hours ago.
The streets begin to assume the appearance
Of life and industry. instead Of sorrow alone.
The railroads are al open TO the city and the
street cars resumed operations at sunrise this
morning. Scenes were disclosed sufficient TO
move the hearts of stone. Rudely improviscd
tents, constructed mostly from bed clothing,
were seen everywhere. Few people slept
indoors. Buildings are deserted AS IL they
were plague stricken. White and black, and
Young and old of all nationhlities
are tented on the common and
eginced signs Of the terrible disas-
ter. Thousands slept with no covering.
This morning the News and Courier an
nounced that charleston is ready for business
despite the earthquake and its r%avages." At
this writing very little has been accomplished
to relieve the city of it's appearance Of desola-
ton. The most alarming feature Of the pres
ent situation is In the shaky condition of the
buildings yet standing. Nine-tenths Of the
brick structures are cracked through and the
theater may fall at any time. Until some time
has elapsed and confidence fully restored,
most of the shattered buildings will not be
entered. Another shock would he more dis
astrous than all those already experienced
and buildings would be easily shaken to
atoms. The damage, owing to the character
OF the structures, cannot be Appropriated. If
the buildings are not reoccupied or succeeded
by new ones, 100000 OO will probably not be
an own estimate. II rebuilt the loss will not
e.;ceei 20 per cent. OF this sum. Business men
SAY 1t will take fifty years to make Charleston
AZ good as it was three days ago. Search for
the dead continues.

The citizens of Victoria county, Tex,
have issued an appeal "to the charit-
ably inclined people of America" to
send relief to the sufferers from the re-
cent great storm on the Texan coast.
1t %recites that mot alone were the ac-
cumulations Of years in many instances
swept out of existence by the fierce
hurricanes, but growing crops were de-
stroyed in the fields" A famine is
now threatened over a considerable
region of country. Men, ONE and
children are suffering for want not only
of food but Of clothing. 1t will only be
necessary for the facts TO be made
known and substantiated to secure the
relief needed as fast as means can be
systematized for forwarding it. The
supply which flowed into Chicago after
its great fire in such quantities that
they had to be estopped, the aid extend
ed to Memphis during its memorable
scourge and the assistance rendered
the sufferers from the Mississippi floods
testify to the spirit of helpfulness which
animates the people of this country.

is cAsTLEREAGH COME AGAIN.

1t is hard to credit the story that
m from London, that the last days
of the nineteenth century are TO see re-
peated one of the greatest political
crimes of the stained record of the
eighteenth and yet the evidence is very
strong that Salisbury and Churchill
are preparing to renew the tact cs of
Pitt and the infamous Castlereagh. 1t
is to be hoped that the suspicion now
pointed against the Tories, though we
must admit that it is well grounded,
will fail Of veriication. If it shall be
confirmed, there will be added another
black chapter to the history of the re-
lations between the two islands, which,
Mr.. Gladstone says, every book and
nation in the world regards as ''miser-
able for Ireland and dishonroable for
England"
Castlereagh and Pitt encouraged the
rebellion of 1898. The former desired
it to explode" in order that the re-
sort of the Irish to violence might be
made a preteXt for the establishments Of
the Union. He and his official supe-
rior connived at outrages, encouraged
cruel evictions, ana did all IN their
power to excite the people to revolt.
Almost if not quite a year before the
rebellion broke out. the government
had the evidence of its organization.
and might have prevented it. But, in
stead, Castiereagh, with devilish adroit-
ness and NH humanity, dashed the peas
antry into fury in order that the plot to
overthrow the English government in
Ireland might be consummated. Cas-
tlereagh wanted blood letting, and he
was gratified. The rebellion came and
the union was established.
There is evidence that Castlereagh's
tactics are being repeated by the pres
ent Tory government; that, notwith-
standing Sir Michael Hicks-Beach's as
sertion to the contrary, the Irish land
lords of Kerry are receiving encourage
ment in the evictions that are now be-
ing pressed. The military, at least, are
helping the local constabulary, and that
could not be without the assent of the
government. Winter is coming on,
and when it comes thousands of Ii sb
families will be without homes and
food and means of gaining a livelihood.
IF the conservative government is real
i anxious to create English public
opinion against Ireland by STIR
ring up the Irish tenants to
the commission of outragcs, there
is promise of success for them. The
people of Kerry have been driven to
violence, and the dispossessed farmers
of Wexford are holding indignant
meetings, sur. precursors of the hurt
ing of somebody. Churchilrs instiga-
tion Of the Orangemen IN the north TO
the murderous assaults which have
been made on the Catholics strength
ems the suspicion that the Conserva-
itves are eager to force the Irish people
into re"olt. A terrible winter of blood
shed might retard the cause of home
rule, but the end will be fatal to Sails
bury and Churchill, The closing days
vt the nineteenth century are not con
genial times in which to play the dark
games of Castlereagh. The union can
not be maintained by the black arts
which created it.

The claim that Mr.. Edmunds defeated
Blaine has never been anything but a specious
pretext trumped up Rs the most convenient
excuse available by men who want to see the
Senator defeated so that his place may be
given to another man. Charlotte CORES.
pondent of the Burlington Free Press turns
the guns OF these men back upon themselves
in a way that is positively cruel from its ef-
fectiveness. His exposure of the dodge
will have an Illuminating effect in good
many quarters
"Mr Edmuuds is held personally responsible for
the defeat Of Mr.. Blaine. This Is the only charge

sented That quarrelan rivalry retired one Of them

out Of the nomination for the presidency once, and
finally when he nominated II carried the state OF
New York against him. There Ia no fact in political
history better kuswu and understood thsn this. II

governor. Do the friends Of Blaine remember the
campaign In New York Conkling tO-iay aa 10 1884,
