To the Voters Of Columbia County.

MEssRs. EpIToRs.-As the name OF
G. II. Buckalew has been announced
as candidate for Congress, there are
various reasons why every voter OF
Columbia county should make some
effort to secure his nomination.
One very good reason is, that he is
a man of ripe judgment and sterling
integrity When he was comparative
ly young man some thirty-6ve years
ago, he represented this district in the
State Senate. He was then by some
of his political opponents compared to
mountain stream, clear, pure and
cold, uncorrupt and incorruptible
The only difference between Bucka-
lew of thirty-fve years ago and Buck
alew of to-day, is, that he is now a
man of more experience, aud age has
given him more wisdom.
But he needs no eulogy from me,
nor is it for his benefit, that l write
this article. lie is one of those pecu-
liar people who is abundantly able to
take care of himself and if we will
Ilpl give Hitil u CudilCt W hcip thnN
care of us, it will be our loss and not
his.
All men interested in good govern
ment, are interested in having just
such men as he in our legislative halls.
But Columbia county has particular
interest in seeing him elected. She
has not for nearly fifty years, and per-
haps never had representative in
Congress. Yet this county has always
done her full share at helping to swell
the Democratic vote in every contest,
local, state or national. think the
delegates to our county convention
should be unanimously instructed for
Buckalew and they should choose
Congressional conferees who are for
him first, last, and all the time.
A VOTER.

"The peoples law is habitually violated
evaded and defied."
"No free government can long exist
where the organic law of the State
is habitually defed."
"The Constitution of 1874 is not com
munistic. 1t assails no right Of
property, nor does it give counte
nance to principles which would
degrade or demoralize society.
The Constitution cannot wholly en-
force itself, nor could it provide
detailed regulations for its en-.
forcement; these must be provided
by the Legislature"
"In the selection of members of the
Legislature at the next general
election, select only such as are
pledged to the long-neglected
work of Constitutional enforce
ment."-From address Of Consti
tutional Conamittee, 1886.
-:o:-
The people, through the ballot box,
should upon all laws, sumptuary
or organic, have an opportunity to
express their opinion, before be-
coming a settled law. Let all be
equal before law. No monopoly,
no aristocracy.
Democrats of Columbia County: The
above are my sentiments and if noni-
mated and elected, pledge myself to la
Dor in all honorable ways to carry it
into effect. Truly Yours,

Great excitement prevails in Miss

There is scarcely school district in
which the Prohibitionists are not hard

fused. Rev. Sam Jones, Ex-Governor
st. John. DIR. John A. Brook and a
large number of local Prohibition ora

all over the state. They have secured
pledges from three.fourths of the nom

Mink, of Macungie in Lehigh county,
became incensed at his two sons, Thigh

from home, lie was prominent bust

came i'll, and after having remained
silent for nearly a quarter of century
relented and wrote an apology. The

arrival at New York by the Castle

gypsies, bears or monkeys, but it is a

Several tugs coming up to Cape
Flattery were struck Saturday night
by a tidal wave, which ran so high
that the tugs were buried at times.
The commotion lasted about half an
hour. After the waves had subsidized,
the sea was found to be covered with
dead Goldfish, halibut and salmon. The
inference drawn was that the wave
was caused by a submarine eruption.

The Chicago anarchists who threw
bombs among the police on the 4th of
May are on trial in that city. They
have been identified by police officers,
and no doubt will be convicted, in
which case the severest penalty should
be meted out 10 them. There is no
more dangerous element in America
to- day than these foreign born dis
turbers of the peace, The doctrine of
the anarchists is treason in its worst
form.

OWN CnILDREN-FooD WANTED.
ST.. JOHN, N. F., July 20-From time
to time reports have been received here
of destitution and suffering among the
fishermen of Labrador, and last fall
the Government was compelled to send
two relief steamers to Sandwich Bay.
1t was not until Sunday, however, that
any idea was had of the terrible state
of affairs prevailing in that inhospit-
able region. In fact since last Novem-
Der Labrador has been lost land. At
that time the dread Arctic winter set
in and since then communication has
been cut off between Newfoundland
and the main land coast. The flow of
the Arctic ice this season has been un-
precedented, and at present masses of
drift ice and bergs mountain high are
piled up against the coasts extending
some 250 miles out to sea. This mass
of frozen water has reduced the
temperature far into the country far
below freezing, and the SHOWS of win
ter show no sign of disappearing
Belle Isle itself did not open this year
until June 20, aud heavy snow and
sleet-storm was experienced on the 22d.
Lately party of 10 starved and
half-dead creatures arrived here from
Cape Bauld, where they had been dis
covered by some countrymen. They
came from Quebec and Indian harbor
and have been a month getting here
to seek assistance. Four of them are
half.breeds, five French Canadians and
one aSwede. They say for nine continu-
GUS months winter has reigned uninter-
ruptedly. That just as the native ice was
about to break up the Arctic ice came
down upon them and shut up the coast,
permitting noingress or egress. The har-
bors full of packed ice have sunk most
OF the larger vessels and permitted no
fishing while the low temperature pre-
vented the frost from leaving the
ground, and it was impossible to plant
any crops. The fish oil factories have
been idle for ten months past and the
stock of oil has been exhausted for

are living upon their domestic animals,
and among the Indians the state of af-
fairs isl horrible. Rank cannibalism
has been resorted to by the savages,
stealing others children and devouring
them. No attempt is made to stop
them, as the ignorant white settlers do
not know how long they will be able
to hold out before resorting to such
crimes. These men state that there is
not barrel of flour left in the country,
and they were appointed to procure as
sistance. Help must come at once or
the country will be depopulated. The
Ottawa government was promptly no.
titled, and assistance will be pushed
forward overland On Sunday night
Peter Jansen, the Swede, died of the
hardships experienced in reaching here.
The parties say they crossed Belle Isle
Strait on floating ice, having no boat.
