Emperor giving them validity, while not
abandoning his own rights But a nation
which has once become a treaty-maklng
power is no longer to be held as a vassal,
according to Western notions, and any
attempt OF China to conquer Corea would
now be considered by all nations which have
treaties with the latter, as unjustitiable ag
greSslon. The Omaha reports passing a
Chinese fleet which appeared to be hurrying
to ChemulpO, but its object was unknown.
Since there is Geographic communi-
cation with Corea, it appears likely that
the menaCeS Of China, which had so mnch
effect as to create some opposition even IN
Seoul to the new diplomatic missions, have
not been carried out.
The progressive ideas of the King of
COrea, who, although still a comparatively
young man, has been more than twenty
years on the throne, are unquestionable.
He is a man, too, of marked intelligence
and decision of character The trip made
by Rear Admiral Chandler from Chemulpo
up the river to Seoul, last September, dis
closed not only the military preparations
which have been made for defending the
kingdom, but also the high regard in which
Americans continue to be held there. The
west bank of the river was dotted all the
way up with forts connected by water bat

dozen secretaries accompanying the en-

at that time expressed the special friendship
of Corea for the United States, as did the
new Ambassador, who had already been
selected. There is no doubt that American
influence has been well established in Corea,

CUTICURA REMEDIES.
Baby HunlOrS
And All Skin and Scalp Dis
eases Speedily Cured by
CutiCura.

Our little son will be four years of age on the
2otRnst. In May, 1875, he was attacked with a
very painful breaking out of the skin. We called
in physician who treated him for about four
weeks The child received little or no good from
the treatment, as the breaking out, supposed by
the physician TO be hives in aggravated form,
became larger IN blotcheS, and more and more
distressing. We were frequently Obliged TO get
up in the night and rub him with soda in water,
strong liniments etc Finally, we called other
physicians until no less than six had attempted
To cure him, all alike failing, and the child
steadily getting worse and worse, until about
the Goth of last July, when we began to give him
CUTICURA REsoLvENr internally, and the CUTl-
CuRA SOAP externally, and by the last of August
he was so nearly well that we gave him only one
dose of the REsoLvENT about every second day
for about ten days longer, and he has never been
troubled since with the horrible malady. In all
We used less than onehalf of bottle of CUTI-
CURA REsoLvENT, little less than one box of
CUTCURA, and only one cake of CJ'rICuRA SOAP.

AN APPALLING ACCIDENT.
4 FLOOR GIVES AwAY-A NUMBER OF

4 FLOOR GIVES AWAY-A NUMBER OF
PERSONS KILLED AND WOUNDED.
An appalling accident happened at
Rushsylvania, Logan county, on Friday
night. The Union Schools of the town
were giving an entertainment in Brock
ermam's Hall, which occupies the see
Ond story of building the first story of
which is used for a livery stable. The
hall was 80 by 50 feet in size, and was
packed to overfloWing, as is usual on
such occasions, with children and their
parents and others interested in the vel
fare of the schools. About 400 persons
were in the room, one-third Of them
children. The exercises began at $50,
and two performances had been given
when dull sound was heard, at which
every face blanched. The audience
started to rise but were requested to
keep quiet by Prof. J. W. Ansley, Su-
perintendent of the schools. who was
acting as stage manager. lie had no
more than spoken when the crash Of
breaking timbers followed, and in a INC
ment the audience was struggling in a
heap in the middle of the floor below.
The joists which supported the floor
broke almost exactly in the middle.
The broken ends of the joistS reached
the floor six or eight feet apart forming
an almost triangular trough into which
the people and the benches on which
they were sitting were thrown promiscu-
Ously. Fortunately, most of the chill
dren occupied the three front seats,
which were the last to go down, or the
fatality would certainly have been great
among them. The stage was saved by
the office of the livery stable, which
was constructed under the right side
of it.
Two persons, Miss Emma Stewart and
Mrs. Alexander, wife of Rev. J. L. AL
exander, were taken out dead. Several
others were picked up unconscious. 1t
is supposed Miss Stewart was strangied
or suffOcated by others falling upon Her.
Mrs. Alexander was killed by heavy
stove falling on her head and breast.
In addition.to these twenty two persons
were injured-some being crushed and
hurt internally, and others having their
limbs broken.
The scene was indescribable, and the
only wonder is that more were not killed
outright.
A man below in the stable had just
unhitched horse from buggy and
was putting up the lines when he saw
the floor coming. He struck the horse
a blow with the lines; the animal sprang
forward toward the front door, and both
barely escaped. The part of the stable
over which was the hall was occupied by
buggies, and they standing near the
walls, escaped without much injury.

AN ERROR CORRECTED.

From Cadz Republican of this week.
Some of the newspapers of this district
and one OF two irresponsible correspond
ents, challenge the following statement
in the congressional announcement made
by the friends of Gen. d. A. Hollings.
worth:
"The Republicans of Harrison county have, in
recent years, aided in comforting equal congress
sioRal honOrs ON Hon. l.. Danf0rd, of Belmont
county, Hon. J. T. Updegraif, OF Jefferson, and
Hon. j. d. Taylor, of Guernsey"
In quoting the above sentence, the
words ''aided in" are omitted by some OF
the writers, and in all cases, they are
either obscured or wholly perverted.
A moments honest reflection should
satisfy these garblers and would be hair
splitters that Harrison county Republic
cans have at least aided in comforting
upon Col. Taylor the Congressional hon
Ors which he has received. They voted
for him to fill the vacancy in the 47th
and for the full terms of 4Sth and 50th
congresses. Harrison county, in 1884
was in another district, and of course
could not aid him by her votes, although
her present candidate, on invitation,
took part in the canvass and we do not
remember that any objections were then
urged against him on account of his
residence.
Such quibbling is unworthy the candi-
date whom these carping friends seek to
aid. They do not and can not success
fully deny the real point OF the statement
that, so far as the Republican voters o.
this district are concerned, "equal con-
gressi0nal honors" have been conferred
on Col. Taylor.
He was nominated in 1882, and since
then has received the uninterrupted and
unchallenged support of the party-six
years. Hon. L. Danford was nominated
in 1872 and received the same support
until 1878-siX years. Hon. J. I. Up
degraff was then elected, and twice re-
term and he never entered upon the third
term to which he was elected This is
all there is of the story, and it shows
clearly that hOnors are even except that
Col. Taylor has had the advantage of an
extra short term. The Republican par
ty is not an insurance company; it does
not guarantee elections. Mr., Taylor's
home organ, the Guernsey Times, ad-
mits that Gov. Foster and Gov. Foraker
have each carried the counties of the
district in which he was defeated in
1884, and as Harrison county was not in
the district that year, her Republicans
at least are not to blame for his defeat.
BE manly, gentlemen of the press, and
don't undertake to sail under false col
ors. If a majority of the Republicans
of the district unbiased by improper in
fluences, shall decide to continue Col.
Taylor in Congress for fourth, fifth, or
longer term, the Republicans of Harrison
county will cheerfuIly acquiescr. Her
candidate is not of the cut-throat species
who, in defeat, seeks to lead factions.
But, meantime, let the canvass proceed
"decently and in order" Truth is a
shield that TO candidate can afford to
abandon.

TIE Louisville Presbytery at its meet

faith that q union of the Church North
and South would be out of the question
unless the Northern brethren adopted
their ideas on Presbyterianizing the ne

North is not likely to accedc to the de-

therefore the prospects of a union are

THE selection Of delegates at large
from Ohio to the Democratic National
Convention is likely to develop into a
fight between the Doodle and anti Doodle
factions of the Democracy. The .'Old
Roman" Allen e. Thurman, who had
the manhood TO assist in the prosecution
of the Democratic tally sheet forgers, is
a candidate, and the boodlers are in
arms to defeat him. The Democrats
have an opportunity to say that they
are opposed to forgery and ballot
box stu ling as a means of carrying
elections. The record of the party does
not give much hope that they will
improve the opportunity. Doodle has
its grip on the machine.

THE Bellaire Independent has for
some time shown symptoms of free trade
mania, and seldom misses an opportuni-
ty to make a stab at the Republican
doctrine of protection to American in
dustries. Its latest is a fling at the
the wool growing interests in this wise:
"The debate on the tariff goes on, and
will go on for several days. There has,
SO far, been nothing new said. The Reps
all wall over the proposed reduction on
wool The wool-growerS are, as class,
the wealthieSt men in the country, but
they are not satisfied; they want more.
They will not be satisfied unless the trib-
ute, which every person wearing Woolen
goods pays them, is largely increased. a
great political party having the interests
of the whole mass of the people to con-
slider. ought to consider carefully whether
it is wise to legislate in such way as to
make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
Possibly prompted by the same spirit
of love for the Republican party as is
displayed in the above, the Independent
is engaged in villifying and misrepresent-
ing Congressman Taylor and for 1.-The
sake of the Republican party would
have him defeated for denomination.
The Republicans Of the Seventeenth
Congress District are not likely to seek
guidance from a journal that accepts
'sGroyer Cleveland" as the model states
man of the age, and free trade as the
panacea to cure all ills.
