RAvnNNA. WEDNESDAY. Sept. Is. 1889.
AS the date of the DemocraticCo County

AS the date of the Democratic County
approaches, the interest in
the issues involved In the coming local
is a gratifying index to the
felt by the citizens of Por.
tlge County in the importance of Sc
curing able and efficient men to per-
form the duties of the various offices
within the gift of the people. From
the ranks OF the Portage County Dem.
ocracy can be drawn dozens of capable
honest men who are in every particu'
lar the peer of any whose names APP
pear on the Republican ticket, aud in-
1initely superior to certain ones o. their
candidates. 1t is evident that the peo-
pie have awakened to the idea of hav-
ing the offices filled by the best men.
irrespective of party. The popular ex.
preston at the polls for a number of
years past fully evidences the truth of
this assertion. It is matter of great
satisfaction to every intelligent voter
that the magic of party name no longer
controls the action of the people at the
expense of reason and common sense (;
that merit and qualification for the Of
flee now dictate the choice of q very
large percent of those whose verdict is
called for at the polls. To say that this
or that individual shall be elevated to
the responsibilities of Judge, Clerk OF
Courts, Auditor, Prosecutor, or other
office, because, forsooth. they are un-
compromising Republicans or Demo-
Gratis, is, happily for the good of the
public, relegsted to the position of the
ancient saws of those numerous twist
men" of old, who were celebrated in
their day for their imitation of mean
ingless nothings. that passed current
for high types OF" wisdom"
The effects of an election to fill town
ship, municipal or county offices are
entirely local. They concern the voters
directly and Immediately. In this re-
spect they differ widely from a STATE
or National election. The people o
Portage County will soon be calico
uuon TO choose from among their mum
ber individuals whom they desire to
conduct the affairs of certain county
officers. 1t is MEN they have to deal
with, and not Democrats, Republicans
or Prohibitionists. They cannot inn
bue any candidate with principles OF
honor or cIothe him with business
capacity if he does not possess them
by simply yielding him the blind ODE
dience to party dictation. The assur
ance of correct administration of the
particular office comes not of knowing
that the aspirant is a dyed in the WOO
party man. That fact furnishes NJ
security for his competency or honesty
He will not divest himself of any faults
or elevate himself to the standard o
business integrity by reason of being
honored with u party majority
Thanks to the intelligence and sount
sense of our people, the day has passed
when it can be truthfully said that 1
nomination at the hands of any par
ticular political party of Portage Coun
ty is equivalent to an election. Afte
the Democratic nominees have beer
placed in the field, the fight will b.
made on these issues by the people
who have repeatedly signified theil
contempt of party name in this clas
of elections.

TORONTO, ONr., July 31.-A special dispatch
to the Empire from Ottawa says: ''The latest
account Of piracy by the United States author
tiles in Behring sea continues to be much dis
cussed in official circles. A'dispatch has been
received at the fisheries department from Mr..
Baker, MP, giving additional particulars Of
the seizure Of the Black Diamond. It appears
that the vessel was seized when 20 miles from
land. Mr.. Baker says that strong feeling Of
resentment and indignation has been engen-
dered among the inhabitants Of British Colum-
bia by this wanton outrage and that a meeting
Of citizens Of Victoria is to be held to express
their indignation. This dispatch was under
consideration by the council yesterday. Until
the official report is before the government no
action can be taken, and the minister of Gus
toms accordingly telegraphed to the collector
at Victoria to forward full particulars without
loss OF time. Collector Hamly's reply was re-
ceived by Hon. Mr.. Bowel last evening" but it
appears that the information which he has to
give is no fuller than that already published.

Indians Call on Gov, Lee.

RICHMOND, Va, July 3l.-Among Gov. Lees
callers yesterday were delegations represent
ing the Pamunky and Mattaponi Indians, who
came to have talk with him about certain
rights possessed by these tribes ON their reser-
vation 1t seems that none but those who are
of pure Indian blood or q mixture of white and
Indian blood have any right under the treaty
to reside on such reservations, and the delega-
tion called the attention of the governor to the
fact that there are now on their reservation
persons who have negro blood in their veins
and are not entitled to reside on the reserya-
ton according to the law. The governor as
sured the Indians that he would take the mat
ter under consideration and see that all the
rights possessed by them under the law should
be accorded them.

Other Roads VIII Meet the Cut.

CINCINNATI, July S1.-The representatives Of
the roads affected by the recent cut by the
Pennsylvania road to s5 fare between Chicago,
Cincinnati, Louisville, and New Albany have
determined to meet it, and have sent the neces-
sary preliminary notice to the interstate CON-
merce commission. 1t will take effect August
2. 1t includes also $3.50 rate between Chi
cago and Indianapolis. The roads interested
are the Cleveland. Cincinnati. Chicago and ST.
Louis, the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton,
and the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago.
The last two named form the Monon route
from here 10 Chicago. Various motives are
assigned to the Pennsylvania for making this
cut and refusing to give a reason to the other
roads in the Chicago and Ohio river division.
Among them is that the Pennsylvania will use
this to aid in making low rates to the Milwau-
kee G. A R. meeting

Indians with Forepaugh's circus viii probably

sleep in the same car, and during the night the

sumed their abuse and, fearing trouble, the
negro fed. The Indians pursued him out of

Tolliver then drew his revolver and shot an
Indian named Looks Bad in the arm and an
other named Red Ear in the breast. The
latter will probably die The negro was taken
