IT is said the bill introduced in the Senate
by Senator Paddock, of Nebraska, providing
for the erection of postOfices IN towns of a
certain grade not now provided with public
buildings, will be reported favorably by the
that the more the proposition is considered,
the more favorably it will be regarded. There
are many good reasons why the government
should adopt such policy with reference to
postofice buildings, and, so far as we know.
none whatever against it. 1t is only ques-
tion Of time when it will be done.

The Journals city columns give full reports
of the Prohibition State convention held
yesterday in this city, and which nominated
full State ticket for the assistance of the
free whisky Democratic party in the coming
election. We freely and gladly concede the
high character, the probity, the sincerity, the
single mindedness of many of the noble men
and women who made up yesterdays
singular gathering in Englishs Opera
house; but as the law holds every
actions, allowing no plea of earnestness, or
sincerity or probity to interfere with this
necessary rule of action, it is not unkindness,
but simply the truth, to say that whatever
may or can do will be for the assistance ard
success of the party that is committed,
by its spirit and tradition, to the
liquor power. There is nothing more absurd
meet together and compare themselves to the
Abolitionists, assert that the Abolitionists
extirpated slavery, and then jump to the con-
clusion that the destruction of the rum power
is in some way to come about through their
agency, in a similar parallel. Such history
and logic would discredit a school lad.
The platform adopted is rare and radiant
bit of political mosaic, which must be read
carefully to be appreciated. 1t is to be said
that the convention was well attended, was
full of the enthusiasm of high ideal, and its
proceedings were conducted in manner be-
fitting the character of the delegates who
composed it.

THERE has been good deal of criticism of the
big bronze figure that crowns the dome of the
Capitol at Washington. The figure itself is
spirited and heroic. but the head-dress is anon
alous. A Washington correspondent gives the
following bit of history concerning it:
1.-THE great statue is not the creation of Craw-
ford. 1t is true he made the model, but 1t was

model sent by Crawford from Rome in 1865
entirely different creation. This was
the figure of woman with liberty cap her
head blazed with thirteen stars representing
the thirteen original States. The drapery was
gathered about the waist by belt bearing stars
for all the States of the Union. jefferson Davis,
of Mississippi, was then Secretary of War, and
he refused to accept this model because the

claimed that statue with liberty cap en- the
dome of the Capitol for people half free and
half slave menace to the South. A
respondence ensued between Davis and Craw-
ford, resulting finally, after many protests on
the part of Crawford in the present statue.
The photograph of this statue was received by
Secretary of War Davis, early in January,
1856"

The Register gives space to alengthy
article against Protection from the Phila-
delphia Record, a rank Free Trade organ,
and stamps the argument with its ap-
proval by starting it of with display

present position is in strange contrast to
that it occupied on November ., 1886,
Just two years ago, when it published
the following editorial:

The Registers boasts that IL an "hon-
est" newspaper has been matter Of
ridicule among its readers Tor some
time. Its latest net inconsistent with
this boast is the deliberate garbling
of Congressman McHinley's Atlanta
speech. Here lisa garbled paragraph
Just as it appeared in yesterdays

Committee is responsible for this SANDER
on West Virginia, and that the story as
originally published in the New York
Mail and Express did not state that the
Bulldozing occurred in Calhoun county,
Arkansas. The Nail and Erpres Of Au-
gust %, in which the article appeared,
may be seen at this Office, where the edi-
tor Of the Register and AL others are i'll
vited to inspect it.
What right has the Register to assume
that the lying dispatch was sent out by
the Republican National Committee?
The members of the committee are not
a set OF fools. They are politicians, and
know very well that such publication
would necessarily injure their own cause
in West Virginia. 1t is this latter fact
that makes it barely possible that the
Pittsburgh Times and other newspapers
publishing the dispatch were imposed
upon by shrewd Democratic CORE
spondent.
The Register need not assume that be-
cause the National Democratic Commit

committee does the same thing.

Gen. Golf is nothing il not consistent.
He and his friends have tacily refused
to arrange for joint debate between
him and Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson. This, Of
course, is IN old subject; hut yesterday
when Gen. Golf was face to face with
Hon. Henry S. Walker, at Hinton, he
refused another joint debate, and the
Republican Committee which had Coil
in charge also refused it.--RSgistcr.
The first OF the above statements is Il
deliberate falschood, and we denounce
it as such in view Of statement made
by Mr.. Wilson himself AS to the sec
ond statement, here is Gen. Colts reply
to Mr.. Walkers challenge, taken from
the Registers account:
HINTON, september 5, 1883.
TO Hon. H. $. TdiEcr. Hinton!
My DEAR SIR: | have your favor OF
this date proposing in behalf OF many
persons Joint discussion OF the qucs-
tons at issue in the pending canvass.
have referred your communication to the
Republican committee OF this place in
charge OF the meeting to-day, and | will
be pleased to respect any arrangement
made by said committee and the Demo-
cratic committee relative to the matter
you allude TO. Yours truly,
[Signed.l N.GoFF.
The following letter was addressed by
the Republican committee to the Demo-
cratic committee, in response to chal-
lengc from the latter that General GofI
meet Mr.. Walker in joint debate: =
HiSToN, September 3.
Gentlemen Of tie DeiiOcna'ic Committee;
We do not suppose we could agree TO d.
vide time with YOU to-day for lack Of
time, but at any future time we will be
willing to meet you in joint discussion,
that is, each OF our candidates will meet
his opponent, and we will furnish speak
ers to meet anybody who are not candi-
dates. Respectfully,
[Signedl T. K. Mann,
W. L. THOMSON.
1t may be seen by the above that
there was no backdown. General Golf
himself expressed his Willingness to
meet Walker but the committee very
properly declined to allow meeting,
Henry S. Walker is not General Colts
opposing candidate. II the Democracy
is spelling for joint debate why don't
they bring forward their candidate for
Governor, who is, by all the rules that
govern debate, the proper person to
meet the Republican candidate?

The Philadelphia Record has worked
hard to show that while Protection does
benefit the wage workers in the "pro-
tected industries" these wage workers
are so limited in number that their in
terests should not be considered. This
is really what the two column screed
copied into the Free Trade organ OF this
city yesterday SO approvingly seeks to
establish. But were it not for the elm
tied class" whose wages are increased by
Protection where would the farmer sell
his product, and whence would come the
income OF the doctor, the lawyer, the
newspaper the school teacher? Any
school boy knows that when wages are
greatly and generally reduced in one in
dustry consequent lowering ofthe gen
cral wage standard must incidentally en-
sue. Besides this, to lower the wages Of
any class is to injnre the purchasing
power OF that class and hence the mar
kets for all producers. The Records
view is a very narrow view.

made the statement, that the Times mad

the bogus dispatch, and no one realizes
it more than the'1NTELLIGENcER. This

no State in the Union whose citizens
