young man came the more savage the old mans express sion of countenance seemed to be.
 "Good mornin', Uncle Buck" the young man called.
 "Look yare, Dill Summers" the old man replied, "didn't 1 tell you not to come on this place ag'in?"
 "Yes, b'Peve you did"
 "Wall, an don't you know it's blame dang'us not to mind what I say?"
 "I've hearn so," Bill replied, "an' I thought I'd come over an 'vestigate" :" "Wall, stop right whar you are Preaching back and taking up a long rihe), UT Pll drap you in yo' tracks like wolf"
 "Does wolf drap teller in his tracks?"
 "I mean" the old man exclaimed, "Pll drap you like you wuz wolf" "Oh, that's it? Now, then, Uncle Buck"
 "Don't call me Uncle Buck. I ain't yo' uncle."
 "Wall, then, MT. Rollins, I'd like fur you ter tell me what you've got ag'in me-"
 "I ain't out maxim explanations" "But 1t wouldn't take you long ter tell me what you've got agin me-"
 "lt don't take me long ter do nothin' 1 set my head ter, fur that matter. 1 told you luther day that you shouldn't marry Liza, an that oughter satisfy you"
 "I know you told me that, an that's exactly what don't satisfy me. Elf the girl loves me, an she lows that she do, I don't see what objections you ken have to our marvin"
 "l see objections enough"
 "What air they?"
 "One is you ain't no Count"
 "What's the other one?"
 "Is that you are coward"
 "How do you know?"
 "How do l know2 Wy, I never seed nuthin' palmer in my life. Tuther week out wander at the sto', you stood with gun on yo' shoulder an let a feller cuss you-let him cuss you oudatiously out"
 ''I didn't wanter kill him."
 "No, 'cause you wuz afeerd ter try. don't want no towards in my family, un'erstan'; could put up with you not bein' no count, but when it comes ter bein' coward, wy, I kain't stand / nothin' O the sort. So now, Bill, you go on away rum yare, an Pll swar ter the Lawd that ef you come round yare ag'in I'll shoot you jest ez sho's powder'll burn."
 "Won't you let me see Liza 'fo' I go?"
 'iNot mint am eff you try ter see hen Ell drap you."
 "Wall, then, I reckon I'd better mosey."
 "Yas, of you don't wanter be trapped"
 The young fellow turned away, and the old man went into the house. Old Rollins was farmer in Allen county, Kentucky. Ordinarily he was peaceable man, but he had record for "drappin' fellers" who persisted in arrsying themselves against him. Bill Summers was an easy going sort of fellow. He had been known to leave growing crop and go prowling about the neighborhood, and 1t was a com- mon saying among the neighbors that he was too lazy to drive 'sstray" hog out of his field. Liza Rollins was a tall, strong girl, with . voice as deep as the voice of man. Despite the hot sun to which she was subjected for she often helped her father in the field -she was rather handsome. Her eyes, it seemed, had caught the mellowness of 6 twilight glow, and her cheeks, when she had romped through the

Commissioners Blacks Report

The annual report OF the Commission,
er OF Pensions shows that il the present
Administration has erred at all in the
management of veterans Pensions,
IL has erred on the side of undue Iiber-
ality. Though President Cleveland has
vetoed many caReless or dishonest pen
slons bills, he has approved more honest
claims than any one of his predecessors
One would suppose from the Republi-
can clamor that the only method by
which soldier ia the Civil War could
obtain pension is through a special
bill, and that dr. Cleveland has vetoed
every such bill that came before him :;
whereas the truth is that provision more
generous than was ever before known
under any government has been made
by general laws for all Union soldiers
who suffered in any way from wounds
received or diseases contracted in tho
late war.
These special bills only cover cases
not coming within the provisions of
the general law, aud nearly all of them,
provide TOR donations that can only be
Justified as charity to deserving people
Gtenty OF Union soldiers who are still
hepuOilcans commend Lae President q
course 10 this matter and express regret
that he has Uot vetoed more Densjon
oiiIs. 80 Union officer who is really
conscientious has failei to reject with
disgust applications made to him to as

Jumpers and deserter3 who, having re-
oueed' themselves to misery by dissipa-
lion, aow pose as patriots suffering from
the hsrdships encountered in, their

1he real cause OF the reckless, lecis-
latleh concerning bSunties has been the
desire OF the Republicans To get nd of
the surplus by distributing it, so that
they may have an excuse for maintain
lSS the existing taEiff. Too many Dem
ocfats have aided this programme be-
cause or cowardly fear OF voting
against any Claim. however fraudulent,

and 1t is most fortunate for the country
that at such lunctuIe it has a Demo-
cratic President who de res to ''be lust

COloaeI Hovey Declines to pesate.

The declinatiOn of Congressman Ho-
vey, the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor OF Indiana, TO meet Representa-
tive NSatson. the Democratic nominee
for the same Office in joint discussion
OF the issues OF the campaign is not sur
prising- On the contrary, it is an exbi-
Dition of prudence that will no doubt
commend the General to the considera-
tion Of those who regard that virtue
highly. "a man who fights and runs
away may live to fight another day. - is
an old adage, but one who runs away
without lighting has the advantage OF
saving the strength which would be ex-
pended IN the encounter
There are various reasons why Gener-
al Hovey was wise in refusing to discuss
the pending issues with his antagonist.
Colonel Matson, the Democratic candi-
date. has 8 sledge-hsmmer style of
discussing points that has a very pull
Ver.zinG effect on an opponent, and
when the opponent is as fee
BILE, comparatively speaking. as
General Hovey, it behooves him to
stand from under" 4 defeated car
didate is better than a dead map. and
the probabilities are that after one or
two meetings General Hovey would
have been SO effectually scarified as to
be beyond the reach of relief.
Such a duel or words would have been
as disastrous 10 his partya as to himself.
General Hovey also deserves to be COM
mended for his course on that account
as showing his deep interest and pro-
found love for the high tax theories
which his party represents. A discus
sion Of the tariff question on so high a
plane as candidate for Governor would
have been compelled to occupy wouId
have exposed the fallacies OF the o-called
protection. It's well enough to al
lege that robbing a man of his earnings
benefits him IL the assertion can 90 un-
cOntradicted, but when Sd able a dispu
tant as Colonel Matson has a chance Ia
follow with the facts, the deceptlon
would be exposed, and that would be
disastrous not only to General Hovey's
ambition, but to the hopes of his party.
Taking it for all mall. this refusal Of
General Hovey to rzeet Colonel Mat.op
was the wisest thing he could do

THE Republican campaign liar says
the PIttsburg Post, has hung himself
with his own rope again. lie worked
himself into frenzy about the conflict
between Democratic factions in New
York and the result is that David Ben
nett Hill was re-nominated on Tuesday
by reclamation. The fgments about
the bitter warfare between Governor
Hill and President Cleveland have been
Dissolved into thin air. The fact of the
matter is that no such strife ever ex-
listed. Mr.. Cleveland has not concern
ed himself with the gubernatori-
al candidates of New York as was right
and proper. And the warning factions
in New York will bury the hatchet and
all turn 10 for Cleveland.
The &ugwumps may fight against
Hills election. Thsy probably Will.
But this has nothing 10 do with the sup
port of Cleveland by either the Hill men
or the Mugwumps. They are all for
Cleveland. Mr.. Hill is a strong man,
strong enough to carry his State without
the support Of the Mugwumps or George
men. There is no reason 10 doubt that
he will come In with handsome major
ity in November. And as Cleveland
and Thurman will have the support OF
all OF Hills supporters, and that OF the
Mugwumps and George men as we'll,
they are doubly sure OF big plurality
ia the Empire State.

Plain Words that Anybody May Under
stand.

The Democratic party does not advo-
| cate free trade, but it believes that the
interests OF all our manufacturing and
other Industries would be advanced,
that the wages of all our laborers would
be increased and the general welfare of
the whole country would be greatly
promoted by repeating, AS FAR as possi-
BILE. the taxes upon raw materials, and
reducing or repeating the taxes upon the
actual necessaries of life; and upon
these simple propositions it proposes to
stand or fall in the great contest now
before il. We believe that such "A policy
would so reduce the cost of production
in this country as to enable our manu-
facturers TO compete successfully with
their foreign rivals not only in our home
market but IN the markets abroad, and
especially in the markets of the great and
growing States and Republics of South
America and Mexico, which, although
they lie at our very doors, now make
their largest purchases in Europe; that
il would secure for our laboring people
in every branch of industry more steady
employment, better wages and greater
opportunities for the Improvement OF
their condition, ard that it would do
more to encourage the building of ships
and Jherestoration of the American car
ryiug trade on the high seas than all the
subsidies and bounties the most extrav-
agant Congress could grant. Whatever
may be said TO the contrary, we know
that all labor is paid for in the markets
where its products are sold, and that
the more these markets are restricted
the less demand there will be for labor
and the less wages IL will receive.
What would become, for instance, Of
the laboring men and women OF New
York il the laws were so arranged as to
prevent the products of their labor from
being sold outside of tn e city, or outside
of the State, even How long under
such circumstances would they continue
to recsive their present wages
The illustration which these questions
suggest applies with a. much force to
the whole United States as to single
city or State. If the sale OF your pro-
ducts is confined to the United States
on account of the greater cost of pro-
duction here than elsewhere, or for any
other reason, there is necessarily less
demapd for your labor, and consequent
ly lower wages, than there would be
under other circumstances. Taxes
upon raw materials increase the cost of
production, and at the same time de-
crease che wages of labor, for the evil
dent reason that the man who pays high
prices for his material cannot also pay
high prices for his labor and compete
with the man who pays lower prices for
his material.--Joltl Griffin Carlisle.

DURING the past two weeks we have
talked with a number OF prominent
Democrats from all parts OF the county
who were here in attendance at court,
and all assure Us that the prospects o..
the Democracy for large and full vote
were never brighter. There are no
disensious this year OF any consequence
and the National and county tickets
will have about the same vote which
will be largely increased over last year
and our majority in November will not
be far from 1000. Cambria county's
natural majority is about 900 aud a
Presidential campaign Is advantageous
to the county ticket in bringing out a
full vote. The committeeman in each
district should see to it IN time that ar
engagements be made to get out every
Democratic vote.

less than 40 bushels an acre. The cotton
