A. j. NOllman & Co., who now occupy
the silk mills at Wortendyke, N. j., have
ordered large flag of Muzzy Brothers,
New York, and will throw it to the
breeze, with the inscription on the bot
tom, Protection, Harrison and Morton. -
This will be the first Republican flag that
has ever tioated over the Wortendyke
works, since their erection in 1854.
The grand old flag, as it proudly floats
over the large mill with the stirring
word protection on it, will undoubted-

A good deal is said in the Democratic
about President Cleveland's

many respects it has been rather re-

Of Erie county, New York, and ran for
the district attorneyship and was de-

A KIND OF GOODBYE.
To the Editor OF the Eagle.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
COL MURDoCK:-It is usually con-
ceded that woman always has the last
word, but such a thing can't be possible
with an editor However, 1 should like
to make a few remarks if you will allow
the space in some unimportant corner
First, every article that l have ever
written has been provoked, and although
there are many who couldn't be per-
suaded to take part in such public dis
CUSTOM" they are doubtless restrained
through fear OF the weapons of sarcasm
and ridicule.
AS lady said in speaking of your re-
ply to Mrs. NJ. E. Lease, ''that you first
abuse women and then abuse them
again for resenting it." Yet It's cow
ardly to keep silent because it is
disagreeable to express opinions that
are in opposition to the opinions
of another. And what l have written
has been from the conviction that it was
duty to defend the cause of equal SUI
frage which involves the fundamental
rights of half the people.
AS women are.better than men" why
not treat them as well. The most ex-
treme suffragist only asks for equal
rights.
Admitting their superiority it neces-
sarily follows that their influence would
be for good in the political world as well
as anywhere else.
Then the laws will be more Just to
women than they are now; when women
excepting four states) have no right to
their own children, to say nothing of the
injustice of taxation without repre-
Sentation."
As to the case of cruelty reported in
last weeks EAGLE, it is known
fact that man seldom
strikes an equal and if equality
has no restraining influence on some de-
mons, the women would soon enact
law that would send such men TO the
penitentiary where they belong, instead
of excusing wife beater without even |
fine, which was done this spring by a POI
hceman.
| again heartily agree with YOU that |
women are better than men and for that |
reason men should not pretend that they |
can or do represent women; neither |
should men be allowed to legislate for q |
superior and better class of being.
Yours for justice and equality,
STEPHEN ST. CLAIR.

The indications now are that Governor
Hill of New York is preparing to per-
form the Sampson act 1t is clear to
the unbiased in New York state that he
cannot be reelected governor this year,
though it is admitted that his grip upon
the party machine of the state is so pow
erful that he can secure his nomination
in spite Of the protests Of the conserva-
tive element in his party who recognize
that if the party is thus handicapped the
state will be lost to them beyond hope.
Governor Hill, it is said, is aware of this
state Of case. but is believed to be will
ling to sacrifice himself and the party at
large in order to avenge himself of the
great wrong he feels was done him by
Mr.. Cleveland in his policy of double
dealing carried on few months ago in
relation to the nomination for president.
The governor is represented as being an
amiable enough sort of person when
everything is favorable to him, but
when he is crossed or an effort is made
to thwart him he becomes an ugly Gus
toner to contend with. The Republican
outlook in the empire state grows more
Hatter1ng constantly.

A number of Democratic papers of
late have published, with gusto, state
ment from Justice Miller of the q. S..
supreme court, alleged to have been made
by him several years ago concerning the
tariff, and they evidently datter them
selves with the notion that the judge
may possibly decline to support the Re-
publican ticket. The judge is not pol
itlcian, but like every good, patriotic cit
izen he naturally feels interested in the
welfare of the country and its credit as
affected by the character of men chosen
to administer the government. In an
interview short time ago in regard to
the success of the Republican party and
the relative merits OF its candidates as
compared to the Democratic, he said of
the former:
''Its candidates, think, are better men.

CROP AND WEATHER BULLETIN

Secretary Mohler of the State Board of
Agriculture has just issued his crop and
weather bulletin for the month Of June,
in which he says: Reports now in from
about six hundred correspondents, rep
resenting nearly every county in the
state, clearly indicate that the expections
of the early spring, based upon the fay
orable condition then are about to be
realized, a good wheat crop being al
ready harvested, also fair oats crop.
and corn has never been IN more prom
ising condition at this date.
The secretary further says reports
from assessors throughout the state
show that one million one hundred and
fifty thousand acres were sown to wheat
all but 10 per cent of which has been
harvested, the average yield being placed
at seventeen and half bushels per acre
and the aggregate yield is seventeen and
a half bushels for the state. The wheat
generally is well filled and plump in
berry.
The acreage planted to corn is placed
at something over seven million acres,
and the condition of the crop at this
date is excellent, only slight damage be-
ing reported from few localities from
insect depredations.

The Democratic presidential ticket is
composed of chronic Office seeker and
holder and superannuated ditto and
bond holder. 1t is contrary to the prin-
ciples of laboring people to encourage
with their votes the monopolistic ambi-
ton of such people, therefore Cleveland
and Thurman will not receive the sup
port of any labor organization or mem
bers thereof. On the other hand the Re-
publican candidates stand irreproachable
in their personal relations to society and
upon platform that speaks out i'll I'M
equivocal terms in behalf of every
worthy citizen, and particularly for the
best interests of those who eat bread by
the sweat of their brow. Self-interest,
therefore, if there were no other consid-
erations, naturally suggests to whom the
laboring people will give their support,
not only for chief executive, national
and state, but for those who shall con-
stitute the law-making branch of the
government as WELL
