Is OUR government able to protect its citi-
zens, or must they protect Themselves If
the government is able to protect them is it
willing TO do so, or must they do as in the
days of our ancestors, take their arms with
them when they 60 to their daily toll? Our
forefathers did this to guard themselves a
gainst savage fee, must their descendants
do the same TO guard themselves against a
hordes of barbarous Bohemians? During the
past few weeks thousands of laborers who
were satisfied with their situations and who
had no grievances of which to complain, no
wrongs to be righted, and who only asked
the right that our laws should guarantee to
every man, the right to earn their daily
bread by honest toll, have been forced to
quit work by intimidation, by threats and
fears of personal violence. We don't have
to go outside of our own state to find this
'lamentable state of affairs. In our own
beautiful metropolis, we have q most deplor-
able example of it. Had these things hap
pened in some European country, we should
have been congratulating ourselves on the
superiority of our republican institutions over
the effete despotisms of the old world and
Enthusiastically returning thanks that we were
not like other people. What is the natter
Are not our laws sufficient for the protection
of American citizens2 If not, why are they
not made so? Are politicians afraid to meet
the emergency like men, lest they should
lose this Bohemian voter II is certainly
high time something wss done to put an end
to such high handed, unwarrantable inter
ference with the rights of honest labor.

Nor being successful in fully consumna
ting the steal of four seats in the Ohio
senate, the democratic members of that
body have fed their native state for the
purpose of blocking the wheels of legisla
ton. This is characteristic of the demo
cratic party; its members are naturally and
constitutionally obstructionists Brave men
are they, exiting themselves from their
homes, and Sinking the duties they were
elected to perform, simply because they can
not enforce the result of ballotbox stuffine
and fraudulent count. Great reformers
they are.

The camping grounds will located mp the
river from the city about a mile and half
and are very beautiful grounds, and the boys
will, no doubt, have rafting good time.
All should attend.
Dick Hayes struck last week; struck out
for Lake Park, and has been boycotting all
the saloons in town ever since. Some of
our courts have decided that boycotting is
a crime. but our advice to Dick is to keep
right on boycotting, courts or no courts. and
hundreds of people will say amen.
Madam Rumor says that frst-class we'd
ding will soon take place i'll the eastern part
of the city, and that the high contracting
parties are one of our business men and one
of our handsome widows. Ii this wedding
should in any way fall through. rest assured
that no blame can be attached to William.
John Tompkins, near Decatur, who mar
ried niece of Robert Orr's of this township,
for his second wife, died last Friday and
was buried Sunday. He had been as well as
usual but had complained considerably of
rheumatism. when, all at once, he threw up
his arms and fell dead. Rheumatism of the
heart as it was Thought.
This year, according to superstitious
people, is TO be year of trouble, cyclones,
wind storms and everything else destructive
of the happiness of mankind, simply because
it came in on Friday and goes ont on Friday.
IL Is necessary. of course, that we should
have q lot of such fools in order to make up
a world. All they are fit for is to scare
timid women and children.
kalamazoo is greatly exercised over their
local beansnappers. Both mayor and mar
shall have issued strenuous orders against
them, threatening them with the direst ven
geance. We can't see for our part why they
should be so agitated, as beansnapper is
nothing more or less than a small boy with
crotched stick, rubber string and his jacket
filled with beans and. in our opinion, perfect
ly harmless.
Charley Delamater. living south of town,
is only seventeen years old. having been
born in March. 1869 and can kick the beam
at $50 pounds with perfect ease. If any
town within two hundred miles of here can
beat that we would be glad to hear about it.
Charley is good boy, good natured, good
worker, neither smokes, chews nor drinks,
and the girls need not set their caps for him,
as he is not in the matrimonial market.
The managers OF our spring fair, after
having received plenty of free advertising in
our iOcdi papers, oy way Oh local notices,
seem to have sent abroad for their bills.
Last year their bills were printed at the
NoRTHERNER Office, and the male bulls,
horned sheep, he hogs and masculine horses
showed up just as we'll as they do this year.
We believe in patronizing home industry at
living prices, and not in going to South
Haven to get out garnishee papers, nor to
Lawrence or Cassopoiis to get the service of
a Cleveland Bay. 1t is bad practice and
ought not to be tolerated.

Excitement in Texas.

Great excitement has been caused in the
vicinity of Paris, Tex. by the remarkable re-
coyery of Mr.. j. L. Corley, who was so help
less he could not turn in bed, or raise his
head; everybody said he was dying of con.
sumption. A trial bottle of DR.. Kings New
Discovery was sent him. Finding relief, he
bought @ large bottle and a box of DR.. Kings
New Life Pills; by tie time he had taken
two boxes Of Pills and two bottles of the
Discovery, he was well and had gained in
flesh thirty-six pounds. Trial Bottles of this

Made Clothing now offered at the
Long Brick Store is without excep-
ton the best, the most desirable, and
the cheapest we have ever offered at
any previous period. Now all the

FREE speech is all right, a glorious priv
ileee and all that. But freedom of speech
ought not to be construed into license to
advocate anarchy. Every man who publicly
advocates the use of dynamite, the destruc-
ton of the lives or property of his fellow
citizens, or the doctrines of communism or
socialism in any form, ought to be adiudged
guilty of felony and placed behind prison

Tue house committee has reported favor
ably on Mr.. Burrows bill for preliminary
survey of the Michigan canal. Should such
a canal ever be constructed it would save the
loss of large amount of property now de-

between the West and East nearly 600 miles.

Very Remarkable Recovery.

Mr.. Geo. V. Willing, of Manchester, Mich,
writes; my wife has been almost helpless
for five years, so helpless that she could not
turn over in bed alone. She used two Bottles
of Electric Bitters, and is so much improved,
that she is able now to do her own work.
Electric Bitters will do all that is claimed for
them. Hundreds of testimonials attest their
great curative powers. Only fifty cents bot

DIR. w. B. Wall, of Tustin, takes the
cake in this valley for the season in or.
ange raising. As the season has closed
the Doctor now foots up his accounts
which stand as follows: On twelve and
a half acres of ground, upon which he
has 1850 trees, nine years old, he picked,
shipped and sold $3.50 boxes of fine Or
apges. After all his expenses were
paid his net profit on the entire crop
was 5000 cash. This was a net
profit of over $3.50 per acre, and
equal to ten per cent interest
upon $67, 900. He sold 1000 boxes on
the trees and shipped the rest through
the Orange Growers Protective Union.
He would have done still better had he
shipped them all in place of selling part
on the trees. II there is another orange
grower in Southern California who can
beat this for the season, our columns are
now open to him and we want his re.
port SO much for low pruning and
shallow blowing. "--GSanta Ana Stan

One of the most remarkable events
connected with the law of trial by COM
bat took place in England in the present
century. The statute remained unre.
pealed, as it probably would have been
left up TO the present day, If the follow
ing had not occurred: One Abraham
Thornton was in 1877 accused of the
murder of Mary Ashford, but the charge
in some way breaking down, he was ac'
quilted at the Warwick Assizes. An
appeal being made, the trial came on
again at the Court of the Kings Bench;
and Thornton's counsel, availing himself
of this old forgotten and unrepealed law,
declared his client ready to maintain his
innocence in single combat against the
brother of the murdered girl. Strange
as it may appear, there was no way out
of the difficulty. Unquestionably, the
law was still in existence though obso.
lete for centuries, and the lawyer in
sisted upon the right of an appeal to 1t.
William Ashford was a mere boy, be.
sides which such proceeding would
probably not in any case have been al
lowed, there was no alternative but to
discharge Thornton. An act was, OF
course, at once passed to prevent any
thing of the kind happening again.
Public feeling was such that Thornton
went to America, where he died not
long af ter. In this curious way did

San Luis Obispo is booming right
along. The Tribune says that the cleo.
trio light plant has been ordered from
Boston aud will arrive here in about four
weeks. Pending its arrival the wires
will be strung and other preliminary ar
rangements carried out. Thirty-tive
lights have been subscribed for, and
probably more will be secured by the
time the system is in vogue. As the
city is at present cramped for finances,
there is some talk of having two or three
masts erected in suitable locations to
light the town, the expense to be borne
by private subscription. This, we think,
is an excellent idea and II generally en-
tered into could be carried out at a tri-
fling outlay to those Subscribing. 1t
would cost in the neighborhood of Sl25
a month to run three masts, and these
would suffice to light almost the entire
town, and do it in more satisfactory
manner than could be done with gas for
the same amount of money.

The San Bsrnardino Times says: Early
last Saturday morning, as young man
was feeding pet bear, which was
brought from Mojave to Calico about a
year ago, and has been kept chained in
the street ever since, there having been
platform erected for his convenience,
little girl, daughter of W. H. Rey-
holds, who has lately come to Calico,
ran up to see the bear eat his breakfast.
1t seems that although the bear does not
object to being fed by men with whom
it has become acquainted, still it has q
natural grudge against females, and
upon the girl getting close enough it
made spring and grabbed her, and be-
fore she could be got away clawed and
bit her quite seriously. The girls
wounds were dressed Immediately, and
the probabilities are that she will re-
cover, as at last accounts she was on
the mend. The bear was Immediately
killed

be running in sixty days
The price OF these lots is exactly one-half
OF the sum asked for those adjoining on the
east, and which are unimproved.
The success OF the Homesteads OF the
Southern California Land Company is
strictly owing to the lo,o rate at lphich they
place their properties before the public and
the fact that they offer only frst-cIass city
locations. The high prices asked by middle
men for lots are avoided. The Company
desires to see the subscribers to these prop
critics gain handsome profit after the di
vision of the Homesteads.
The sale of this tract is on the homestead
