Commissioners of Bel

IT has been held by one of the Circuit
Court benches that, in towns where To-
cal option prevails, the seller of liquor in
violation OF law can not be made to suf-
fer the penalties prescribed in the Dow
law, for selling without paying the tax
that it is incumbent upon the munich
pality to suppress the sale. OF course,
the penalties prescribed in the L. 5. In
ternal Revenue laws attach, if the seller
has not paid government tax as retail
er, and they are not to be sneezed at.
st. Clairsville has such place, and it
should have instant attention. The
proof is abundant, and the facts matter
of common nOtOrietY.

Blood Diseases are cured by
the persevering use of Ayers
Sarsaparilla.
This medicine is an Alternative, and
causes a radical change in the system.
The process, in some cases, may not be
quite so rapid as in others but, with
persistence, the result is certain.

of Lord PalmeTStOn. make some reference
TO it.
Allow me to assure you that. so far as
that Cabinet is concerned. you have been
entirely miSled in regard to matters of
fact. As member of it. and now nearly
its sole surviving member. can state that
it never at any time dealt with the sub
ject of recognizing the Southern States in
your great civil war. excepting when it
learned the proposition of the Emperor
Napoleon Ill. and declined to entertain
that proposition, without qualification,

ROebuck's proposal for the negotiation.
Lord Russell took no part. and could take
none. as he was member Of the House
of Lords. | spoke for the Cabinet. You
will. | am sure, be glad to learn that there
is no foundation for a charge. which. had
it been true, might have aided i'll keeping

TIE State Republican Convention
meets next week.
Among the candidates strongly urged
in many parts of the State, is Congress
man Robert p. Kennedy, of the Eighth
District.
1t is now well understood fact that
Congress will be convened in October.
The Republicans have but two OF
three majority in the House.
Among so many members, deaths
may occur, or members may be unable
to take part in the organization by rea-
son of sickness.
Not one Republican member can be
spared at the organization.
The nomination of Kennedy, or any
other Republican member, would take
him out of the canvass, if he should un-
dertake to hold his seat and attend the
extra session.
The nomination of any member of
the House of Representatives will be a
mistake the Republicans of Ohio can
not afford to make.
There are men in the State whose
nomination would be cordially seconded
by the people.
We are not insisting upon the nOmi-
nation of any particular individual; but
we do insist that a nomination shall be
made that will meet the cordial approval
of the Republicans of the whole State,
and that will not disturb the slender Re
publican majorityin the National House
of Representatives.

additional Editorial on first page.

WE are glad to hear that the PROPOSE
ton to increase the salaries of members
of the General Assembly has attracted
some attention in this county, even
though it is unfavorably received 1t Is
a proposition that the people need IN
formation about, and the only way to
obtain that information is by discussion,
Public burdens. whether from salaries
or fees. should be leSSened. Taxation
is higher than it ought to be. The peo-
pie pay in fees to public officers great
deal mere money than they ought TO.
Corporations get advantages they ought
not to have.
Are these things, in any degree,
chargeabIe to the small salaries paid
members of the General Assembly:
That is a question for the people to con-
slider. We believe they are considering
it.
OF course. the higher the salary paid
the greater incentive unworthy men Will
have to seek such places; but that is a
matter the people have in their OWL
hands. 1t is their privilege and duty tc
see that unworthy men are not selected
if good men can be prevailed upon tC
accept. As it is, men who are capable
of rendering the public valuable service
are debarred because of the meager sal
airy paid.
Many men who have considered thu:
matter carefully, and who are well in
formed of the methods used to pluck the
people, believe it would be good ecOno
my to double the salaries paid members
of the General Assembly. That body
is the People, in general assembly met
1t has greater power than any othe
body in the commonwealth, and We
members of it are paid only $500 year
while men who fill places in county
government, where only clerical duties
are required, are paid five times tha
much? Is that good economy? Tha
is the question presented to the people

LAST winter a travelling man fell up

LAST winter travelling man fell upon
a street of Salem, Ohio, breaking his
knee cap. He claimed the fall resulted
from a defect in the sidewalk, and
brought suit against the town, claiming
damages in $4,000. The case was tried
recently in the Columbiana Common
Pleas, and a verdict of $4,000 rendered
against the town. The Republican ex-
presses intense indignation over the
verdict, and demands that the munici-
pality shall carry the case to the highest
court in the land rather than submit TO
such verdict.

Ireland's worst enemies are the men who
plan assassination in her name Things
which have come to light in America with
in few days show how fearful are the diff
ticulties against which Mr.. Parnell and
the patriot host behind him have had to
work. Thuggism, hypocrisy, brutal sell
tishneSs and treachery have dogged the
steps of the Irish leaders.
While statesmen and orators have been
slowly building up the fabric of Ireland's
liberty, towards and paltrOOnS have been
plotting at a safe distance, and disclO-
sure of their ugly work is the chief dan

PROTECTION IN THE SOUTH

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
An interesting article in the Columbus
(Ga.) Enquirer on the subject of cotton
shows that that crop, if made into cloth
in the South. would yield 81, ,OO0,OOO,O0O, in
stead of S3OO,OOO,OOO, and every dollar of il
would remain in the localities where the
factories are located. Mnntgnmery's So
OUO,OOO of raw cotton, ii turned into cloth
there, would be worth Sls,O0,00O0, making
an additional Sl2,0OO,OOO to be distributed
among the home people.
These are the facts that are making tell
ing progress iii the South. And yet the
same papers that state such facts In their

A PIUTOCRATIC PARTY
ON the st. Louis Giohe-BeniqGrat,

From the St Louis GlOhe-ljemQGrat,
A few of the Democratic papers, in re-
ferring to Brice's election to preside over
the National Committee, pretend to be
surprised and indignant at the choice of
plutOcrat to run the party. The indig-
nation may be timely, but there is no
room for surprise. The Democracy has
always been run by the plutocrats. From
1900 to 1861 it was run by the slavehOlding
plutOcracy, and during every year since
that date when it has had any chance at
all for success, men like Brice, Barnum,
German and Scott have led it.

THE EFFECTS OF HIGH LICENSE.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
The council of the Law and Order So
ciety of Philadelphia says that there is
less than One-half the drunkenness in that
city now that there was before the high
license law went into effect. \ year ago
there were two hundred dives in full blast.
High license has killed them ALL To-day,
says the Record, one can walk through the
streets on which they were thickeSt and he
will not find even the semblance of such a
place. Fourteen months ago the saloons
were open all over the city on Sunday, but
now Sunday in Philadelphia is practically
a day of prohibition except for those who
purchase supply on Saturday to keep in
their houses until Monday. In 1887 5,773
licensed saloons, and perhaps 1000 unli-
cenSed, were engaged in business. Now
the number of licensed saloons is only !,
POS, and the prOprietors of these places are
prompted by self-interest to see to it that
there is no selling without license. An
examination of the COlSt record shows
that police arrests for all sorts of crimes
have been reduced forty per cent during
the year, and commitments to the House
of Correction fifty per cent.

AT the election in Pennsylvania, Tues

Those gold-laced and stuffedwith-dig
nifty officers who have been sitting upon
courts martial in Washington lately de-
serve to be handed down to pOSterity as
the most complete set of nincOmpOops in

permitted rascally contractors to build the
Washington aqueduct tunnel i'll manner
SO faulty that it is total failure, though
it cost the government millions, is only
sentenced to pay fine of $500 in monthly
installments; an officer who left his ship
without permission in order that he might
report her unsafe condition, so that she
might be promptly and economically re
paired, is sentenced to two years suspen-
sion; while another officer who made a
pass at Governor Beavers distinguished
prObOscis during the Inauguration cere-
monies last March, is sentenced to dismiS-
sal from the army. The President has
mitigated this last sentence materially,
and in so doing very clearly expressed his
contempt for the court-martial.
