The guests of the Mountain House
drove over to 'Fiester View between
this place and Sonestown in lum-
Der wagon on Friday and enjoyed a
picnic. They complained of the
jolt of the wagon being a triAe tire
some. The city guests of LaPorte
are not as strong and healthy as
those who visit the Mere. It is a
common occurrence to see driving
into town a whole grist of Eagles
Mere guests IN lumber wagons that
would rattle the bones of a Sullivan
county man SO profusely that ply
sician would necessarially have to be
called to replace them. Those Mere
guests evidently are dyed young
but we are willing to wager our ha.
that they will not die young.

Descriptions of the new postal
cards, which are soon to be issued
by the department, show that the
cards themselves will be beauties.
There will be three sizes when the
contracts have been filled. The
first of these will be much larger
than the one now in use and will be
the one used mainly by business
men. It's size will be sufficient to ad-
NIT of the printing of a business
card at the top and still allow plenty
of room for the message below. The
second will be for brief notices and
the like. For the ladies, who arc
beginning to look much more favor
ably upon these mediums of com
munication, there will be a still
smaller one, finer i'll quality and
more aethetic in appearance. The
old buff color gives way in the three
sizes TO winter shade, which every
body will welcome.

The action OF the Democrats in
West Virginia is go outrageous, that
even their own papers, that is such as
have the independence to do 80, are
condemning them. The Philadelphia
Times In reviewing the matter says:
''The whole proceeding on the part Of
the Democrats has been technical, trick Y
and evasiye Of the plain mandates OF the
law"
at was the duty Of the Legislature TO
eanvass the vote Tor Governor, but that
duty was eyaded because a canvass OF
the returns would have given Golf q
small majority. Next followed LIE lis.
latfye commission to investigate the cleo
ton and decide the contest"
Had the West Virginia Legislative
committee discovered sufficient frauds I'm
the Goh vote to change the return, the
rejection of Colts c aim to the office
would have been iustifiAble; but when it
IL understood that, rs a rule, the rejec-
ton OF GOT votes has been on the weak
est technics al ties the rejection of his RICH /
to the GoveInOrshipi Is not only not justin
able but 1t Is not excusable.
"Why not play fair 10 this Important
matter? The precedent is replete with
danger not only to the party that Us
tablishes 1t, but also to Tree govern
ment."
Whenever these proceedings are,
condemned by the Democratic press
their injustice cannot be questioned,
but we do not suppose that will make
any difference to the Democrats oil
West Virginia, rs they are determined
that Fleming shall have the office and
we suppose he will get il.

IT is certain that Jimmy Hope
should either be brought back to Della

there is in holding one OF these men

was as deeply implicated In the at

probably more 30, and yet the latter ID
Leld in New Castle jail, while 1t il
probable Hope will be allowed to go
free. Neither Of them is wanted here,
but as we have been Obliged to take
one we should by all means have the
other. Unless Hope is brought here
and lodged in New Castle Jail Frank
Mccoy should be discharged, and that
at once. He has already served a good
part Of his time. and as lie is in bad
health we think il would be nothing
more than an act of humanity to lei
him go in peace with the injunction to
sin no more.

THE MISUNDERSTANDING between
this country and Germany has barely
been settled, when England, or at least
On English admiral, grossly insults the
German flag. The German vessel was
lying in the harbor Of Esqulmalt and
1t seems the British admiral wanted
the anchorage for one OF his own ships.
He ordered the German to move,
and as he did not do SO, made prepare.
tons for removing him. AS soon as
the German comprehended what was
about to be done he hoisted his flag
and forbid his interfering with him
This however had no effect, as the Eng
lishman forced the vessel out and had
his own take the place. 1t will require
considerable diplomacy to settle this
matter, and 1t Is possible that II might
result In war.

THERE are hundreds of Republicans
in this city who have not yet paid their
taxes. and some of them will continue
TO delay until it is too late, and they
find themselves returned as errors.
We have very full assessment this
year, and If every Republican will
only do his duty and qualify himself,
30 that he can vote at the election in
1890, we will have 20 difficulty in
sweeping everything before as. The
Democrats are divided, and it is as
true as holy writ that house divided
against Itself cannot stand. The old
feud in Kent county still continues,
and not even the nomination OF Mr.
Bayard for Governor can solidity the
party. All the Republicans have tC
do Is for each voter to do his duty, BY
paying his tax, and victory is assured
