The Republicans of Jackson should
go into the Congressional Convention
at Gallipolis with determination to
push Mr.. Bundy's candidacy to sue
cessful issue if possible. But there
should be no bitterness or antagonism.
There should be willingness to re-
cognize the claims Of other Counties
and exercise the strict spirit of cour-
tesy; to perpetuate the most friendly
relations with neighbor Counties, and
especially there should be no half
hearteu work on the part Of delegates.
Our County will go into the Conven-
ton in good shape, and should come
out in good shape. The business of
the delegation will be to secure the
nomination of Mr.. Bundy, if possible.
Only fair, manly work is desirable,
and that is doubtless what we will
have.

The temperance question is, being
kept before the minds Of the states
men at Columbus, and, no matter
what may be the antics upon that
question, the sentiment of the better
class Of citizens will assert itself, and
something in the way of advancement
will be done, or the statesmen will be
left at home hereafter. There is no
use of fooling with such matters any
longer. Of course the liquor traffic
cannot be wiped out, at one fell
swoop, but the existing state Of things
can be greatly improved, and great
advancement made in the good cause.
When the liquor interest once sees
that the people are in earnest in the
matter, the imps Of Satan who run
the business will be very docile, and
submit gracefully. Keep the tax ON
the up grade, gentlemen, with provis-
ion for prohibition where the senti-
ment fayOrs.

We have received a copy of the
Guntersvllle Democrat, published at
Guntersville, Marshall County, Ala.
bama. We learn by it that the
"Wyteh City Land and Improvement
Company" is booming the country
thereabout. And we believe it is q
good country for people wishing to
secure homes or make investments.
Our recollections Of Guntersville are
associated with "booms." We have
had booming times along that stretch
Of the Tennessee River, in past years.
We served as Sharpshooter ON a
gunboat patroling that river in the
spring of 1854, and had a good chance
to view the lay of the country. We
know they can raise good cotton in
those bottoms, for we helped one fine
afternoon, to remove the entire baled
crop cf one man, we believe his name
was Sweden and that of his overseer
Whitecotton. Corn is largely raised
in that country, and minerals largely
abound.

In the issue of December 4th, 1873,
fourteen years and three months ago,
the following item appeared in the
Standard:
"Mr. Wells has been engaged dur
ing the past two weeks in surveying
and laying out his town on the
Bundy farm. He has had nearly
seven hundred lots surveyed. In fact,
he has laid out a large city,"
One would have thought that
locating town containing seven
hundred lots would have been a big
work, but Wells has doubled up on
the work many times since then, and
still the cry is for more room. Harvey
has certainly accomplished mammoth
work, if he should quit to-day. But
he is just as active and irrepressible as
ever. Keep it going friend Wells.

state of the blood, the urinary

that viii strengthen these organs
and at the same time cleanse and

have tendency to cure the major

remedy is Dr.. euysott's Yellow Dock

a painless regularity of urinary and

proven itself specific for scrofula

other treatment, including Hot
Springs, failed. A great point in its
favor is that it contains no mercury

never harm the most delicate con-

The experiences on some Of the
Western railroads are not calculated
to make one feel consuming pride in
American citizenship. One night last
week, at Kingsland, Arkansas, three
robbsrs stopped a passenger train,
captured the engineer and fireman,
built aiire under the express car and
smoked out the messenger, then robbed
the safe, getting away without
scratch. All this time, we are told,
the only man who showed himself
outside of the passenger coaches was
a colored man, who stood on the plat
form and cursed the robbers all the
time they were at work. It does seem
strange that great crowd Of men
will sit quietly by and permit two or
three bullies to flourish revolvers in
the faces Of ladies, when it would only
take one well-aimed bullet to settle a
robber.

The Odd Fellows Hall has been
nearly completed. The idea was at
first to place wooden pillars under
the roof, in the center Of the room, to
support the roof, and for this sarpose
turned popular posts were brought
here from Chillicothe. But it was
found that these would not do, and
"hog-clain" had to be fixed across the
room. The new hall will be comfort

There is perhaps no calling in life
in which man receives so much ad-
vice-without the asking-as in that
Of editor Of newspaper. This advice
freqently takes the form Of positive
instruction. Especially does this kind
of advice come from men who are
constantly and persistently seeking
Office. We have had some amusing
experience in this line. A man comes
along with the salutation-''here, why
don't you come out for ---- for the
Office of ?" We modestly ask
why we should do so. Because you
are running a Republican paper, and
people will expect it. "What people
-who?" "Oh, the personal friends Of
the candidate" All, yes. But the
very fact thatsa man is running a
Republican paper. is the reason why
he should not be bound to any partic-
ular candidate. There are frequently
a number of good men seeking the
same position. The journalist has the
right to advocate whom he pleases,
looking Of course to the best interests
of the party he represents. But it
should be borne in mind everywhere,
and always, that the editor is not the
tool of the politician. He has high
er calling than that. Let us give an
illustration: Along comes politician,
and informs the newspaper man that
he must support this man, or that
man, or "your friends will go back on
you" Now, that politician perhaps
controls one vote and sees perhaps one
hundred men of this party within
weeks time. The editor talks weekly
perhaps to from eight thousand to ten
thousand of the best people in the
State. Where is the "going-back'
processp The newspaper man has no
interest in the scrambles for Office
his duty is to work for the success of
his party and the public good, and
there is not man living who is i'll a
position to dictate to him.

JACKSON. MARCH 8. 1888
For a long time Jackson has been

For long time jackson has beer
disgraced by total disregard Of the
Sabbath by few business men anC
saloon keepers. It is not our business
to criticise individuals or read any
moral lectures to business men or dog
gery-keepers, as to their conduct. W.
simply express the conviction that thi:
total disregard of the Sabbath is dis
graceful, and ought to be stopped. A
portion of our business men close theil
places on Sunday. Others openly
carry on their trade with as much as.
surance as though their stands were
in Patagonia, instead Of Ohio.
The BARRIERS of Jackson have taken
the lead in the matter of Sunday
closing, and had an attorney draw up
the following paper, which was signed
by all the BARRIERS in town save one,
and that one will perhaps close, with
little help from the authorities:
"Whereas, the Statutes of the State
!
declare it to be unlawful to do COM
mon labor on Sunday, and desiring to
be known as good citizens, we, Bar
bers Of Jackson, Ohio, hereby declare
our intention not to open our shops,
nor pursue our ordinary business on
Sunday from and after March 4th,
1888.
JOHN L. Doss.
Ed. BERTsCH.
VIM. DUHADwAY.
W. G. LAMBERT.
JOHN P. SWAN"
Now that the good work is begun,
let it go on until every business house
and doggery in town shall be closed
on the Sabbath. There is not shad-
ow Of reason for keeping any Of
them open, and there is no excuse
that should exempt them from the
law. The excuse that these places
must be kept open for the purpose Of
furnishing supplies to the people, is
only an attempt to justify a direct
of, and total disrespect for,
the laws of the State. It does seem
strange that in town where there is
such great pfeponderance Of moral
and religious sentiment as there is in
Jackson; in town that is putting
forth its efforts to induce strangers to
come and find good homes; in town
noted for its educational advantages
and social culture, there should be a
defiant dissertation Of the Sabbath as
regularly as the day comes around.
Ii is high time an abrupt stop was
put to all such conduct. Let the
Of the BARRIERS be carried
out in other matters. and, to speak
plainly, and to be thoroughly under
stood, let the authorities compel the
closing Of business houses on Sunday.
The keeping open Of such places is
not business-it is a direct violation
of the Statutes of the State. Let it be
stopped.

Some features in the political career
of Hon. FL. S. Bundy bring out
his high regard for the rights and
opinions of others. 1t is said Of him
that while running his furnaces-al-
though he would work actively for
the Republican ticket everywhere else
he never talked politics to his men,
or gave them the least ground for
claiming that he was trying to cleo
tioneer them. There have been great
cries raised by the opposition to the
effect that Republican furnace-owners
"voted their men," but this never was
said of Bundy, even if it was true of
anybody. He was the friend of every
man-though of course grieved over
he perverseness of the Copperheads.
We are somewhat surprised at the
West Union Scion, published at West
Union, Adams County. This paper
is run by an old Republican editor,
and ought to be gifted with at least
ordinary political discernment. The
paper is partisan of Gen. Enochs,
candidate for Congressional nomina-
ton. That is all right. Enochs was
a splendid soldier, doubtless, and it is
perfectly honorable for the Scion to
support him, as long as it does it in
an honorable way. The last issue
however, contained two noticeable
features. One was long sketch Of

Sometimes ! wonder If I've made
A terrible mistake
In trainin' up my girls to do

They think there's no one good enough
They all want men that's rich;
They want to live in palaces,
And never take stitch;
They'd hang upon me all the days
OF all their natural lives
Before they'd settle down to be
Honest poor mems wives.

 The steamer. Parthia, which sailed Yester-

 passengers a distinguished Celestial. The
 passenger, although wearing the queue &C.,
 cording to Chinese custom, has discarded the
 usual custom of his countrymen, and was att
 tired in g neat fitting suit of black broad
 cloath. A high standing collar of the latest
 fashion encircled his neck, and unlike other
 Chinese, he wore tight fitting pair of gail ters
 Just before the steamer departed yesterday morning he paced the deck with the air of a nabob. The voyager is registered on the passenger list as Chun Lee, Peru, bound for Hong Kong. He is said to be worth, in coin and other property, over 8 million of dol- lars. This fortune he amassed in Peru, in which country he has resided for thirteen years. having arrived there from this city in 1875.
 When he left this city he had but four hundred dollars. This amount he placed to advantage in plantation. He made money rapidly and gradually increased his acreage until now he has large tracts in different parts of the country. He decided several months ago CO V1SlL HIS udb1fo COuAtIy3 uA1O leaving his property in the hands of his man. agers he left for Panama, at which place he ! took the steamer for this city. He arrived here about two months ago, and during his stay has made things exceedingly lively for his friends. Swell banquets and dinners on l the Chinese plan were numerous, all given at the expense of Chun. His friends also en- l ioyed carriage rides and trips to the suburban cities through the Pagan millionaire's liberal ity.
 He made things fairly hum during his short stay, and his friends reciprocated by giving a grand farewell dinner to the distin- | guished visitor. The dinner was had at the | residence of leading Chinese merchant, and ! the tables groaned with all the luxuries that | the Chinese restaurants afforded. | A number of the Chinese merchants were | at the Oceanic wharf in the morning to see | Chun off. He shook them warmly by the hand and bade them goodbye, after which | he boarded the steamer, where he was seen \ by an Examiner reporter.
 | He talks but little English and his remarks | are almost unintelligible. He refused to say | anything regarding himself or his business | interests in Peru. He stated that he was go- | ing to make a complete tour of the Flowery | Kingdom. When asked if he was going to travel alone he smiled slightly and pointed | to mite of Q Chinese woman who was | approaching, and remarked that the female was his wife. He married her in this city | previous to going to Peru. The pair expect | to be gone about four months.

 Ing to Buffalo and Niagara Falls.
 The arrangements for the second annual
 pilgrimage of the Patriarchs Militant of the
 order of Odd Fellows are now being made.
 The excursion will take place the second
 week in September, extending to New York
 by the New Haven boat, arriving there in
 time to go up the Hudson river to Albany
 next day, stopping in Albany over night and going thence to Buffalo at the time of the great fair to be held in that city, and then on to Niagara. The trip made last year by Canton Capitol City of Hartrord and Canton Springfield of Springfield, Mass, was the

GUS of New Haven, Canton Capitol City ot Hartford and Canton Springfield of Spring field, Mass. On returning the cantons will stop at Syracuse, coming by the way of the Hoosac tunnel to Springfield and Hartford. The membership of the csntons includes some of the most influential Odd Fellows in the respective cities, and the organization will be finely represented in the pilgrimage. Major George NJ.
