A woodpecker Of unusual size has
been bent on destroying u of I'm
Gle Vas3ar's finest shade trees. Mr..
Nas8ar made Up his mind that to
save the tree the bird must be slain.
lie borrowed a gun of young Geo.
Freeman with fixed ammunition.
Securing u secluded place by the
fence Uncle John waited for an OPP
p%ortuaity TO try his workmanship.
The bird soon returned and Mr..
Vassar placing the gun through the
fence blazed away. Having butone
hand the gun kicked high, over
went Mr.. Nassar and away went the
bird chipping in the widest glee.
Mr.. Vassar SAYS he don't see why in
the world the boys load their shells
so heavy. But nothing daunted the
old veteran and he was in the act, of
laying for the birdy a second time,
when Uriah Wood happened along,
and as a neighbor naturally would
inquired Of Mr.. Yassar why this u,i-
usual noise. He SAYS | am going
to shoot that pesky wooapecker Sit
ting on yonder tree. Uriah has #
record on ducks and in the kind
ness OF his heart offered to dispatch
the bird. Getting in good range Uri-
ah pulled the trigger, a terrible explo-
sion took place, the bird fell dead
at the roots Of the tree, and the
glass just jingled out ofa window
in the west gable Of Ben. Crum's
house. Ben. hallowed to know why
the boys were firing al him. Vassar
answered that they proposed to
shoot him out of Che house If they
couldn't get him out any other way.
Ben said that was all right, but they
would have TO replace those glass.
Everything has been amicably ar
ranged. We would suggest to the
old vets. to call on some Of the
young nimrods the next time they
want a woodpecker killed.

miniStTatOn and the Democratic majority in Con-

The men who abandoned the Republican party
in 1884, and continUc TO aCLere to the Democratic
party, have deserted not only the cause of honest
government, Of sound finance, of freedom and pur-
" OF the ballot box, but especially have deserted
the cause of rtfOm in tlie civil service. We Will
not fail TO keep our pledges because they have
pfoEtn theirs; or because lhelr candldate mas
broken Bis We Therefore repeat our declaration
of 1884, tC-wit: "Ihe reform of the civil service
auSpiciouSly begun under the Republican Admin,
iSratiOn, should be completed by the further ex-
tension of the reform system already established
by law to all the grades OF the ice to which it
lSappllcabie. The spirit and purpose Of the reform
should bc observed in all Executive appointments,
and all laws at variance with the object of existing
reform legislation shOJld be repealed, to the end
tliat the dangers TO trec institutions which TURK in
the power of official patronage may be wisely and
effectively avoided"
The gratitude of the Nation to the defenders Of
the Union cannot be measured by laws. The legiS-
latiOn OF Congress should conform to the pledges
made by 4 loyal people, and be enlarged and
extended as tO provide against the possibility that
any man whU hOnOrstbly wore the Federal uniform
shall become an inmate of an almS-hOuse or de-
pendent upon private charity. In the presence of
an Overtiowing Treasury it would be public sean
da to do less for those whose valOrOuS service pre-
served the Government We denOunee the hostile
spirit shown by President Cleveland in his numer-
Gus yetoeS of measures for pension relief and the
action of the Democratic House of Representatives
in refusing even consideration Of general pension
legislation
The first concern OF all good government is the
virtue and SObriety of the people and the purity Of
their homes. The Republican party cordially
SympathiZeS with all wise and well directed efforts
for the promotion of temperance and morality. In
support OF the principles herewith enunciated, We
invite the cooperation of patriotic men of all
parties, and especially of all wOrkingmen, whose
prosperity is seriously theatened by the free-trade
policy of the present Administration.

POLITICAL POINTS

STATISTICS prove that since 1860 the
wages of farm laborers in the United
States have shown an increase of nearly
80 per cent, while the wages of farm
laborers in free trade Great Britain have
increased only half that percentage
less; severe scalp wound.
a PENNSYLVANIA paper calls atten-
tion to the fact that in Philadelphia
10000 homes are owned by working
people, while hundreds of them are as
well situated in Pittsburgh and Norris
town. This result is due to protection,
which guarantees such wages that every
man who desires it may become his
own landlord. In Leeds, England, a
free trade city, with a population of
over 250,000, not a single laborer or me-
chanic owns his own home. This is the
condition to which the free trade theories
of Cleveland, if carried out, would re-
duce American labor.
THE following beautiful passage from
Gen. Harrison's recent speech to an
Irish-American Republican Club from
Chicago has been much quoted and
commented upon: "If you could forget
Ireland, if you could be unmoved by
her minstrelsy, untouched by the APP
peals of her splendid oratOry, unsympa-
thetio with her heroes and martyrs, l
should fear that the bonds of your new
citizenship would have no power over
hearts so cold and consciences so dead.
What if sprig of green was found
upon the bloody jacket of Union sol
dier who lay dead on Missionary RidgeS
The flag he died for was his flag, and
the green was onlya memory and inspi
ration"

LANGLING FREE TRADERS.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
The latest wrench which the Presi-
dents hedging policy on the Tariff has
received comes from that stanch and
outspoken Democratic Senator Vest. A
few days ago he declared:
Mr.. Cleveland, by his message, for
which | sincerely honor him, has chal-
lenged the protected industries of the
country to a fight to determination. The
fight is to the death.
1t is not long since Mr.. Watterson
declared that he supported the Mills bill
not because of the protection which it
contained, but because of the revenue
reform" which was in it. 1t was not
what the country wanted, but the best
that could be got, and for that reason
he supported it. Mr.. Watterson has
never been anything else than blatant
free trader.
Mr.. Mills is on record as opposed to
any tariff legislation that is not in the
direction of free trade-which has not
free trade as its final object Now he
turns about and says the bill which
bears his name is not free trade meas
ure because it contains SO much protec-
tion.
Mr. Cleveland in his message declared
the present protective system ''vicious,
illogical and inequitable," and entered
into a labored argument to prove his
assertion. An honest and sincere man,
who had reched the conclusion that pro-
lection was vicious system designed to
place intolerable and wholly unnecessa-
ry burdens on the people would natu-
rally be expected to advocate its repeal,
root and branch. This the President
pretended to do in his message, but
when he saw the drift of public senti-
ment he began to tack about, and in
his letter declared "We are engaged in
no crusade of free trade"
Could anything be more jangling and
out of tune than all this? Does not ev-
cry intelligent voter perceive that Mr.
Vest stated the exact truth when he
declared 'Mr. Cleveland has challenged
the protected industries of the country
to fight of eXterminatiOnr' Yes, and
the challenge has been accepted and ''the
fight is to the death of protection,
but of free trade.

THERE is no occasion for worry about
setting the tower clock of the court
house at the alleged central standard
time" whatever that is. The sun has
furnished the people a much better
STANDARD" for thousands of years, and
will still do business at the old stand
for other thousands, notwithstanding
the railroads.
Suppose the railroads shall, after a
while, conclude that it is best to have
but one time instead of four or five, and
fix that at Portland, Maine, or at San
Francisco, must we, then, all set our
clocks at Portland or San Francisco
time? Down at Martins Ferry most
people have adopted Philadelphia time
(railroad time East of the river.) viii
it be claimed that the polls can be law
fully closed at that time? We think
not. Then why not keep the true time,
and make an end of this absurdity the
railroad companies are trying to force
upon us?
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1888-09-27

SPEAKING of time, these lines from
dodgers circulated through town on
Saturday announcing a train for a po-
litical meeting at Wheeling, serve to il
lustrate the absurdity of railroad adver-
tising:
Trains will leave st. Clairsvifle depot at s:i5
and 6;I5 P NJ, lrbc Is 50 miIildes so'oer than city
time"
So? Then why not have the adding
done before giving the announcement
to the printer, so it would read:
Trains Will leave ST Clairsyille depot at :2l
and 6:5'. city time?"
The advertisements named were print
ed and circulated wholly for the inform
alton of the public. Why confuse peo-
pie with the absurd railroad time, and
compel them to cypher out the real time
the trains left? People are Indifferent
as to what time railroad companies
compel their train men to keep; and an
experience of four or five years should
convince railroad managers that they
can not compel the public to accept the
time they have adopted, and announce
ments like that quoted should be put in
plain terms, that will be understood at
glance by plain people, without any
subtracting or adding.

SAMUEL RANDALL has been renomi-
mated for Congress, Notwithstanding the
opposition of Cleveland, and the Repub-
licans of his district have decided not
to make any nomination against him.
Such action by the Republicans is a prop

man who had the nerve to stand out
to the end in opposition to the free trade
doctrine of the President and his party
in favor of maintaining the industrial
interests of America.

THE Senate, on Friday, passed the
House bill making the Department of
Agriculture one of the Executive de
partments of the government, and the
measure is in the hands of the Presi-
dent for approval 1t makes the new
Secretary of Agriculture (who is to be
appointed by the President, by and with
the advice and consent Of the Senate),
a member of the Cabinet, to receive the
same salary as is paid to other Cabinet
officers 1t will be remembered that the
late Congressman Updegraff, of this
District, was one of the earliest champi-
ons of this measure, and his earnest and
able advocacy of it had much to do with
bringing it to the attention of the coun-
try, and of finally engrafting into the
laws.
