Dec. 18th, 1888

For the past ten days we have greatly en-
joyed visit by Messrs. Hartwick, Broad
head, Schyneks, Stevens, Barkdol and Karr,
from St. Louis city and county. After a
short stay Mr.. Stevens was called by tele-
gram to the death bed of his father, and we
lost him. All those gentlemen are greatly
above the average in intelligence and court
esy, and several Of them occupy important
positions in the community. Al are keen
and experienced sportsmen, and had unusu-
ally good success. During their stay they
killed six deer. One of these was stolen
from them and they took five home along
with large wild turkey and shoals ofquails,
rabbits and squirrels. This game was all
secured by bonafde shooting by the party.
They bought nothing. They received some
surprises and had a great deal of sport.
They had brought quite supply of patent
dogs of the most approved style. They are
large, splendid animals to look at. But
when it come down to work Mr.. Oesch's
"yaller dog" quickly showed them that he
could find more game than they all could
and could hang longer on trail, and just
naturally run away from them and come in
ready for another race when the other dogs
were going round on two legs a time. This
was the first surprise for our city friends.
The second establishment was mixed up
with a little of something like cuss words
when a six-prong buck, a notorious old
stager, led the dogs chase of eighteen miles
in five hours, running through the stands of
three hunters, swan the fish pound, passed
within plain sight of the house, threw off all
the dogs and escaped without scratch.
Our city friends are ready to believe that for
"dorgs" or deer the kingdom of Reynolds is
not to be sneezed at. We hope to see all the
party again.
A few days ago Mrs. Martha Williams died
in her thirty -fourth.year. She was daugh.
ter of Mr.. Daniel Dennison. The writer had
known her for nine or ten years. She never
joined any religious sect, but her life show
ed the best religion. She was of kind splr-
it, a quiet and peaceful neighbor, loving
daughter, an affectionate sister and faith
full wife. For her little daughter Mrs. Luthy
has furnished an excellent home.
Mr.. G. w. Buford some time ago noted
the death of Mrs. ANGUS. Her real name
was Aresman. She was the wife of Mr..
Noah Aresman. Nineteen years ago the
writer became acquainted with Mrs. Ares
man, then Miss Martha Webb, and he re-
spects her highly o-day.
In my last article reported the death Of
Mr.. George Breckenridge, Sr. He was an

One of Gen. Harrison's townsmen,
who says he has hau talks with him
on the subject since his nomination as
well as before it, reports him as saying
that the Civil-Service Law, while not
perfect, is in the right direction and a
law to be executed. II am convinced
he will execute it faithfully" says this
townsman-the Secretary of the Lin
coin League of Indianapolis. II am
convinced that he will permit every
Democrat who bus discharged his
duties faithfully to remain in office to
the end of his term of appointment,
and employees in the classified service
will be continued :he same as if they
were Republicans. There will be no
changes for purely political reasons"

The Signal says, one by one the
campaign lies come home to roost
James Russell Lowell, Ex-MInister to
England, than whom more truthful
man lives not, Gays that some time
ago he investigated the sentiments OF
English manufacturers in relation to
tariff reform in this country. When
that question became so prominent in
this country in tie late campaign, he
again went among them to confirm
his former impressions. He found
that they looked with disfavor upon
any reform of the American tariff, be-
lieving that a reduction, and especi-
ally free raw material, as tending to
give the markets of the world to the
push. energy and genius Of the Amer
lean people. We do wonder if our far
mers will learn in the next four years
that they were humbugged, deceived
and made cat-paws of in the last cam
paign by the robber trusts, corpora tions
and combinations?

We are anXiously awaiting to see the

form) will be the aspirant for the Granite
VILE post office, as our present incumbent,
Mr.. T.F.Walsh, than whom no better.or Ell l.
cient postmaster can be found, supported
the unlucky ticket at the late election, we
believe, and as Mr.. Walsh has been connect
ed with the post office department in local
sense since President Hayes administration,
we hope that no cranky aspirant will attempt
| petition for the office at this place as has
! heretofore been tried on, but it is quite like
ly that Mr.. KInsey during his campaign tour
through this section made some rash prom
ises which we are fearful he will not be able
to redeem.
On last Tuesday noon, while John Brooks
was sitting in an engine house eating his
dinner, at the quarry, blast was fired,
throwing piece of stone weighing % or
60 pounds through the top of the engine

head, and while the blow was not fatal he
was badly hurt. His wife, who had carried
his dinner, was sitting beside him, but es-
capped unhurt.

Says the New York Evening" Post.
There was time when protective
duties were imposed and defended in
debate on the ground that they were
needed. AT present the need Of duty
on any article is about the last thing
to be mentioned OF considered. Dur.
ing the recent campaign we were favor
ed with the views of a manufacturer o.
saws and files at Middletown, N. Y.
which ran something in this way
That although we were making and
selling files at lower prices than they
could be laid down here by English
manufacturers, even if there were nc
duty, yet the present duty of so or &C
or 20 per cent must by all means be
maintained, because the Englshmen
might at some future time be able to
make files as cheaply as we do now;
and then where would our wage-work-
ers be? Also that, although we were
selling saws in foreign markets in
competitor with English makers, and
even selling them there at lower
rates than in our own markets, yet
the duty must by no means be lower
be mair tanned because it is not need
ed. This fantastic doctrine was fully
sustained in the Senate when the par
agraph relating to saws was reached.
Mr.. Vest offered testimony TO show
that American saws were sold at a
profit in Canada after paying Cana
dian duties of 80 per cent, after which
he proposed to reduce the duty on
saws of this grade from 40 per cent to
80 per cent. The amendment was
voted down by the usual majority.
In connection with this vote we invite
attention to the speech made by Mr..
Hiscock In the House of Representa-
tives, but little more than two years
ago, on the uselessness of protection
to the class of manufactured goods
which constitute the bulk of imports
of Central and South America. Moth
ing could be more emphatic and con-
elusive than the showing he made.
The list of articles not needing pro-
lection which he reeited might be cop-
extended without exceeding
the bounds of truth; but, Of course, 1t
all goes for nothing among those who
hold that protection should be main
tanned because It is not necessary.

The st. Louis Ore and Steel Works at
South St. Louis which shut down last spring
on account of the uncertainty of the market
in view of the threatened tariff changes, will
be again be put in operation next week in
several departments, and the mines will be
fully worked after February 18th. These
works will give employment to 1000 men,
most of whom are either idle or working for
low wages at labor for which they have no
special training. Even the assurance OF pro-
lection stimulates and revives the paralyzed
industries. Poplar Bluff Republic.
AS We have heretofore insinuated the
editor Of the Republic in political mat
tiers has as little regard for the truth as
any man we know of.
