We venture TO say that there are
few American statesmen who are
willing. after realizing the truth of
Senior Eaaerde's remark, to yield to
the visa implied in the observations
of two other South American gentle
men, quoted below:
Senior Nicanor Bolet Peraza, of
Venezuela, thought that the only
barrier between the United States
and the South American countries
was the tariff. 1--WE need your manu-
factnres,'' he said, land we have
great numbers of valuable things we
should like to exchange for them,
but England and Germany take near
" all of them now. We cannot af-
ford to send our products to the
United States and pay the duty.
Remove the tariff and trade between
the two continents will be so stimu-
lated that an era of great prosperity
and unequaled advancement will set
in.o
Senor Jacinto Costellanor, of San
Salvador, said that the wish and
hope of his country was to see rail-
way running from Chicago to Buenos
Ayres without break. Some day.
he added, "it will come, and then we
shall all be rich and prosperous. We
feel that Americans are better than
Europeans, and we would rather
trade with the United States than
with Germany or England. But we
cannot do it,"
"Why?"
"Ah, the tariff"
The abolition of the tariff would
be an awful price to pay for an in.
crease of trade with South America.
Our people will refuse TO be CON-
PEELED to compete with the poems of
the southern NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Let

THERE is world Of suggestion in
the following answer given by Sena-
tor Juan f Valerde, one Of the dele
gates from Bolivia 10 the Pan-Ameri-
can congress, which is now making
a tour through the United States.
While going the round in Chicago
last week, q reporter of the Chicago
Herald interviewed Senior Valerde.
Here is one question with its an
swer:
Reporter-What is the thing that
impresses you most in this country
Senior Valerde-Let me think.
Yes, we are agreed that there are
two things about the United States
that are most surprising. One, the
absence of soldiers the other the
homes of your working men. Our
poems live like dogs, and they would
no more than dogs know what to do

THE ELECTION 0FFENcEs.

We agree with the Statesman that
a vigorous enforcement of the elect
ion laws will purify and advance the
best interest of our citizens. We
however, disagree with the verdict
in the case against Mr.. M. V. B.
Green. We claim, that the inference
of criminal intent was not proper
inference from the testimony intro
duced. In presenting or offering
vote man may have an honest in
tent to do right and yet unintention-
ally violate the law by fact that
can only be known by the voter him
self, viz !: that he is not legal voter
"a guilty or criminal knowledge, I'M
known to the party worker. If a man
offering to vote in Martinsburg is
challenged, sworn and discloses by
his statement that he is a resident of
Hedgesville district, and man fur
nished BY his party with a horse and
carriage, for the purpose of getting
voters to the polls, hauls the suppos-
ed voter to Hedgesville, where a diff
ferent statement is made by the APP
plicant and his vote refused, we claim
that the man who did the hauling,
under every theory of criminal juris-
prudence, should not be convicted.
This was Green's case, and every
reasonable doubt should have been
for, and not against him. Another
thing seems improper to our mind.
That is, the most of these prosecu-
tions are against the ignorant peo-
pie, who usually act on the advice of
some other person. Why not 90 to
the corrupting source? Get there
once and then we will have purity at
the ballot box. Over in Mississippi
a U. S. Court, backed, if you please,
by bayonets, is badly needed. Why
is not voting made free there? Es-
tablish the ballot box-make it open
and free to conscientious opinions
and purposes, and keep it pure by
prosecuting the men who do the cor
rupting, and let the committees who
manage elections so understand.

A NARROW EscAPE.-Last Thurs
day evening, as the second excursion
train, on the Cumberland Valley
Railroad, was returning from Hagers-
town to Winchester, Va, and had
just passed Bunker Hill, two colored
men, Dan. Williams and Charles
Brown, who live near Rest, ", got
into a combat. The conductor i'm
mediately stopped the train and put
Williams off. He, however, boarded
the train again and was put off the
second time. He then threw two
large stones through the car window,
one of which struck young man in
the side, and the other came near
striking a lady who was sitting on
the opposite side Of the car. The
train men, accompanied by dozen
men, tried to catch him but failed.
The conductor succeeded however in
procuring his name and wired the
occurrence to Superintendent Boyd.
The company viii take prompt ac-
ton in securing the arrest of Will
liams. The stones weighed about 4
pounds each.-HGgerstolon Globe.

THF BALTIMORE ELECTION

Mr. John K. Cowen is not only q
man of brains and intellect, but is o
fighter for the right, and sticks to
his cause with the steady, reliable
courage Of a veteran soldier. The
people of Baltimore will owe him
much gratitude when he finally rids
them Of the political ring, that,
through ward heelers, has so long
controlled the elections. He will con-
tinue the fight from sone election to
another, until the people and the
peoples cause comes out victorious.
He is man of earnest purpose and
not the enthusiast for a passing mo-
ment. We trust victory may be his
on Tuesday next, but ifnot, lac will
up and at them again.

A NARROW EscApE.-On Saturday
night last, Prof. j. d. Cox, of He'd
gesville, and U. S. Deputy Marshal
White, who were rooming together
at the hotel, retired to bed about IL
o'clock, after having opened the reg
lister to receive the heat from the fur
mace below. Early in the morning
they awoke almost suffocated by the
gas arising from the furnace. Prof.
Cox, after terrible struggle, sue
ceeded in opening the window, while
Mr.. White rang the call bell. When
help arrived the gentlemen were in a
semi-unconscious state, and it was
some time before the evil effects OF
the gas wore off. 1t was a narrow
escape, and we congratulate them on
getting off as we'll as they did.

THE entertainment, "Kindergard
en-, given at the Central Opera
House last Monday night, was about
the best of the season. The play
was almost devoid of plot, but
there was wonderful vein of humor
running all through it, and the audi
ence never tired of amusement. The
singing and dancing were very
praiseworthy, and the easy and self
possessed style of the performers,
was decidedly taking. The Opera
House was crowded, and good order
was maintained. We gladly vel
come such entertainments, for the
nearer is not imposed upon by them.
