SIXTEEN Deputy United States
Marshals have been killed in the
Indian Territory within the last
year. Here is an opening for the
Whites, the Morrises, the Holts and
the Irondale contingent, who were
so willing TO wade in blood up to
their kneetops in order that they
might enjoy the spoils of Office. Let
Harrison send them to the Indian
Territory. No one will catch them
in an open field and fair run.

THE ERA,s pRoFrNnITY.

kingwood, or rather Preston county has three
weekly newspapers, and they arc all good ones
The Journal Is tho Oldest the ARGUS Is next and
the New Era Is the baby, but little over six
months old. But as you see, its a very large
baby for It's age and as full OF good instructive
matter as an egg is of meat. Tho Journal man
has had more experience as an editor and of
course is very wise, and writes profound edto-
RAILS; the Argos man IS tho handsomest OF the
trio, but his paper stands for the party that does
not need convincing argument to perpetuate its
power. so he Is not growing rapidly gray over
bis editorials. But we, OF tho New Era between
the kicks and cuffs administered by tho journal
and ARGUS, arc developing into hrst.class edi-
tore, and begin 10 feel that we can hoe our own
row.-tEra.
1t Is true the ARGUS has not the
art of manufacturing polished and
epigrammatic phrases like the Era.
but by dint of perseverance and re-
iteration it hopes to be able to pro-
duce an impression which the Era's
fine sentiments and well turned and
embellished periods cannot efface.
Of course the Era must be measured
by its prodigious extent of knowl-
edge, and the consequently greatly
increased number and variety of
ideas and illustrations which it has
at its command. If the ARGUS be
less pedantic than the Era our
neighbors need lose no sleep on that
account, for we pledge them we will
keep the flies off them when the
tumblebees begin to roll.

WHAT is PROTECTION,

The President of the Brooks Lo-
comotiYe Works at Dunkirk, in this
State, Mr.. Edward Nichols, has
notified $50 of his men that their
services arc no longer required,
owing to the dulness of the times
and the decrease of business. These
works are among the largest in the
country. Mr.. Nichols is stong
Republican protectionist, and last
year he appealed to all his men to
vote for Harrison on the ground
that Mr.. Cleveland's election would
compel him to reduce his force one
half and decrease the pay of those
who were retained. The men were
told that tariff reform meant ruin
to their industry, and they believed
the story. They are now wonder
ing at the result and asking them
selves whether they would not be
better of if they had voted against
such protection" as they are real
izing. ~. I. HorM.

UNITED WE STAND.

We have over fourteen hundred
Democrats in Preston county, and
out OF that number we are sorry to
say the ARGUS does not receive the
support of one half Of them. This
is not just it is not fair. The AR
Gus is fighting the battle of Democ-
racy, and it expects the cordial
support of all true Democrats. If
we had this support it would enable
us to enlarge the ARGUS and make
it more useful as an exponent Of
Democratic principles. We appeal
to the Democracy Of Preston county
to come forward and give us their
earnest support. Where is the
Democrat in Preston county who
cannot afford to pay one dollar and
fifty cents a year for the ARGUS? II
there are any such, if they will send
us their names we will send them
the ARGUS free.
Now go to work fellow Democrats
and solicit your neighbors to sub
scribe for the ARGUS, the only
Democratic paper in the county.
Remember, brethren, united we
stand, etc.

ORGANIZE

Now is good time to form organ

There is such a thing ~ organizing
victory. It has been truthfully said
that the French were beaten in the
last war with Germany before the
frat gun was fired. The Germans
we're prepared while the French we're
not. The same is true Of political
campaigning. Educate the people
upon this tariff issue. In the man

the tariff upon their industry, nci-

HOW PROTECTION PROTECTs.

have already cabled how the firm
OF Higgins, carpet makers, after in
ducing their employees to walk in
Republican professions and vote the
Republican ticket so as ito protect
American industries, promptly
locked them out as soon as the cleo
ton was over, because they would
not accept twelve per cent. reduction
Of their wages. The Brooke Iron
Company, the Reading Iron Works
and the Pottsville Iron and Steel
Company have followed their shining
example, and ordered wages to be
reduced from five to seventeen per
cent. or their works to shut down.
Politicians cannot be held response
bic for the weather-although they
always claim the credit for it when
1t benefits a country-but the mild.
open winter has been disastrous to
almost al kinds Of business here
and the cutting of wages is becom-

In November last the Norwegian bark Kate
Barnie lay at the Brunswick wharf taking
naval stores for Rotterdam. While there the
commander, Capt. L.tIowarsen, was married to
Brunswick lady, Miss Cornell. An ANNOYING
feature Of the marriage was that it caused the
Captain TO lose every3member of his crew, who
deserted, saying IL was bad luck 10 bring a
bride on shipboard. Another crew was gottens
and Capt. Lowarsen sailed for Rotterdam. The
ill-luck feared by thu sailors seemed indeed to
follow them. for on she voyage the vessel was
wrecked and Abandoned. Her commander and
his bride, together with sthe crew, were pick ed
up aud carried TO New York by passenger YES.
sol. Capt. Lowarsen now found himself with
out a vessel, and with young bride to claim
his attention, and as the quickest way TO solve
the dilemma, Mrs. Lowarsen returned TO her
fathers house in Brunswick to await the smil.
ing OF fortune again upon her husband
Lowarsen crossed the water to his old home in
Norway, believing that there he would be able
to secure another vessel His quest has been
successful, and news now comes that he is in
command of the Norwegian iron ship City of
Agra, purchased by him recently in Grinsby.

Olsen, of Parsgrand, Norway. and others This
vessel Is described as being officially ranked Al
