WHEN dishonest men and a dishonest
party steals tha peoples rights, Just as
they sometimes do their property, honest
men and honest parties must call on the
Government TO protect them in their
rights The rascally Republicans are
said TO be stealing elections, and as the
Democrats cannot prevent them, we want
the Government TO that our Dem
ocratic frienes get full justice. Chester
Times.
This shows radical misconception Of
3 republican form of government The
editor should read the history Of the
formation Of the government and study
the constitution. This is not a monarchy
where power IS centralized, but gov
eminent Of the people, where power is
distributed. The people are free, inde-
pendent and self governing. Each man
is sovereign and each community
should take care OF its own prop
erty, expel its rascally Republicans,
count and keep pure its own ballot with.
out interference or influence from the
general government. It is not the prov
ince Of the general government to meddle
with local affairs. That would tend tc
subvert and destroy the Republic. Tie
Democrats are able to obtain and Civ
justice on that plan they do not ask and
they will not allow any other.

and the Trio Escaped.
Providence, r, l., Dec 19.-That three
smart thieves did not make a large haul
from the Sl4rcr National bank, PawtucSet.
yesterday, was due to the fact that only
about s., eco was left on the counter when
they began operations The bank had been
removed from the rear to the front Of the
building, and the partition separating the
cashiers desk from the lobby had been taken
down. just beyond, a door which separated
the cashiers room from the main banking
room had also been taken away, and only a
light iron gate stood between the cashiers
desk and the lobby.
Enter the Three Strangers.
The bank was thus practically doing busi-
ness out doors when just after II o'clock
Teller b. w. Gardner and Clerk j. +.
Browning, OF the Franklin Savings bank,
being present. three strangers entered. The
cashier had gone 10 dinner and there were
no patrons present Two Of the strangers
opened conversation with Gardner and
Browning, one pretending TO be very deaf
and causing Gardner 70 shout in speaking to
him, thus covering the noise Of their con-
federate's work The third, small, wiry
fellow, vaulted the gate, pissed into the
banking room and seized the bundles OF
money lying on the desk.
He Dropped @1,40O.
Something attracted Gardeners attention
to the banking room, and he turned to look
Don't look that way! Look az me. I'm
hard Of hearing said the talker outside the
counter.
MIR. Gardner did look and saw the third
man grabbing the money He ran for him,
but the thief bolted, sprang nimbly over the
gate, dropping, as he did so, a package con-
tanning 81 400 Gardner went as far as the
door, but having left the two strangers in
the bank he did not follow further.
Made Good Their Escape.
These two slipped out upon his return, and
all three made good their escape The man
who feigned deafness is described as past

H. G. ROBINSON. colored man, who
writes a card to the Morning News con.
tanning some particularly wild statements
concerning the colored people, is not
mentioned in the City Directory. He
uses percentages to show that
the colored people have more
wealth and intelligence than the
community gives them credit for, or
than visual evidence affords. We wish
his statements were true. His percent
ages are Incorrect, because they are com
parative without being relative, and they
show the same lack Of knowledge
that the mistake Of referring to

eloquent and famous Henry w. Grady,
Of the Atlanta Constitution, shows. II.
