We understand that the question
as to whether we will have five
months school ornot in this district,
will be voted on at the coming cleo
ton. Now voters, you are all aware
that the present term is entirely too
short, and it is your duty to vote
for an increase of the present term,
and use your influence in securing
votes for it, and we will have what
Grant district should have had years
ago.
The majority Of voters seem to be
in favor of clecting a county super

We were informed that some of
the Hopewell boys, while returning
from church last Sunday evening,
were shot at by some Of their num-
Der who were ashort distance behind
the rest. When the first shot was
fired the boys in front stopped, and
whether this was fred in their di-
rection or not they do not know,
but when the next was fred they
distinctly heard the bullet whizzing
past their heads. 1t seems as though
they were not accustomed TO such
| play as this, and they waited for
those behind to come up. No one
behind seemed to know who done
the shooting, aid for what purpose
it was done those in front did not
know. Doubtless some one Of them
can give an account Of IL vt the

MAKE IT APRIL 80.

Detroit Free Press.
The centennial anniversary of the in.
auguration of George Washington as
the first President of the United States
has come and gone. The day was de-
clared National holiday, and in most
of the States, by the operations of the
laws thereof, was made legal holiday.
This special mark applies only to the
Both of April just passed; but it would
be an excellent thing if it were made to
apply to the Both of April in every
fourth year hereafter, and if this were
fixed as the date at which the Presiden-
tial term should begin, and upon which
the inaugural ceremonies with the ex-
ceptiOn now observed as to sunday
should occur.

GOOD-BY, BUFFALOI

Boston Herald.
According to the report which Prof.
HOrnaday is preparing for the SmithsO-
nian Institution, the American buffalo,
which formerly roamed over our West
ern plains, may said to be extinct. Ac-
cOrding to his Investigations, there are
now less than $50 buffalo in all the
American continent, where, less than a
quarter of a century ago, they ranged
the plains in countless thousands, show
ing a rate of determination that seems
almost incredible. The buffalo has dis
appeared faster than Lo, the poor Indi-
an; doubtless because his carcass sreck
oned of more value commercially.

THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1889.

WITHIN two months the Republicans
of Ohio will enter upon political cam
paign of tremendous Importance. Bel
mont County will be an important factor
in the struggle, and it is important that
the Republicans of the county shall be
in position to make an aggressive and
vigorous fight. The CHRONICLE will be
found useful helper in the good Cause.
We hope to largely extend its circula-
ton. and to that end offer it in clubs of
ten and upward from the 4th of July
until the 9TH of November for 25 cents.
This low rate ought to add one thous-
and, or more, to its circulation, and it is
safe to say five thousand more persons
would weekly have the opportunity to
read Republican paper. Brethren is
there anything else you can do likely to
produce such good results? One thous-
and, or more, campaign subscribers can
easily be procured if Republicans at each
post-ofiice in the county will appreciate
the mighty help this increased constitu-
ency will afford in the campaign.
The cash must in all cases accompany
the order.

THE constitutionality of township To-
cal option is to be tested A case was
argued in the Supreme Court on the 26th
ult., and an opinion will be rendered al
no distant day. Four causes are set uI
by those who deny the eonstitutionality
of the act:
l. 1t is an act of general nature and
not of uniform operation throughout the
State.
II. 1t is delegation of Legislative
power to the people.
III. 1t authorizes the people to sus-
pend or repeal law, namely, the Dow
law, and enact in its stead another.

fic, when the only power the Legislature
has is to regulate it.

point will be looked forward to with in

Grosvenor represent the State, Ferguson

THE VOW OF WASHINGTON.

! The sword was sheathed: in AprilS sun
Lay green the fields by Freedom won
| And severed sections weary of debates
Joined hands al last and were United States.
o City sitting by the Sea.
Flow proud the day that dawned on thee,
| When the new era, long desired, began,
And, i'll its need, the hour had found the man!
One thought the cannon salvoS spoke:
! The resonant bell-tOwer'S vibrant stroke.
The yoiceful streets, the plaudit-echOing halls,
And prayer and hymn-bOrne heavenward from st
PaulS,
/ How felt the land in every part
The strong throb OF a Nations heart.
! As its great leader gave, with reverent awe,
| His pledge to Union, Liberty, and Law!
] That pledge the heavens above him heard
/ That vow the sleep of centuries stirred;
/ In worldwide wonder listening peoples bent
Their gaze on Freedoms great experiment.
| Could it succeed OF honor sold
And hopes deceived all history told.
Above the wrecks that Strewed the mOurnful past
Was the long dream Of ages true at last?
Thank God the peoples choice was just
The one man equal to his trust,
Wise beyond lore, and without weakness good,
Calm in the strength Of tiawleSS recttude!
His rule of justice, order, peace,
Made possible the worlds release;
Taught prince and surf that power is but trust,
That Freedom generous is, but strong
In hate of fraud and selfish wrong,
PretenSe that turns her holy truths to lies,
And lawleSS license masking in her guise.
Land of his love with one glad voice
Let thy great SisterhoOd rejoice;
century'S suns DER thee have risen and set,
And, God be praised, we are one nation yet
And still, We trust, the years to he
Shall prove his hope was destiny,
Leaving our flag with all its added stars
Unrent by faction and unstained by wars!
LO. where with patient toll he nursed
And trained the new-Set plant at first,
The widening branches of a stately tree
Stretch from the sunrise to the SUNSET sea.
And in its broad and shelterng shade
Sitting with none to make afraid,
Were we now silent, through each mighty limb,
The winds of heaven would sing the praise OF him.
Our first and best his ashes lie
Beneath his own NiTginian sky.
Forgive. forget, q true and just and brave,
The storm that swept above thy sacred grave!
For, ever in the awful strife
And dark hours of the Nations life, WORD
Through the fierce tunult pierced his warning
Their fathers voice his erring children heard!
The change for which he prayed and sought
In that sharp agony was wrought;
No partial interest draws its alien line
'Twixt North and South, the cypress and the pine;
One people now, all doubt beyond,
His name shall be our UniOn-bOund;
We lift our hand to heaven, and here and now,
Take on our lips the old Centennial VOW.
For rule and trust must needs be ours;
ChOOser and chosen both are powers
Equal in service in rights: the claim
OF Duty rests on each and all the same.
Then let the sovereign millions where
Our banner floats i'll sun and air,
Fro theAN prnln 1If1-I Ia 1nHS tn SE1FG coli
Repeat with us the pledge a century old!

STRIKING A POPULAR CHORD.

STRIKING A POPULAR CHORD.
Pittsburgh Commercial-Gazette.
Justice Harlan, of the Supreme Court
of the United States, was the first speak
er at the centennial banquet given in
Chicago. In responding to the toast,
washington and the Constitution" he
referred to the fact that foreign Gov
ernments are throwing upon our shores
vast hordes of men who have no proper
conception of the philosophy or spirit of
American liberty, to the serious menace
of our free institutions and the integri-
tv of our civilization. He struck pop
ular chord when he said: 1--WE can per-
form no better service for our country
than to see to it that the right to shape
its destiny shall not be bestowed upon
those who are unworthy of it. Let Us
raise our voices in favor of such further
enactmentS, constitutional and statute
ry, as may be necessary to guard our
American civilization, and keep this
country, for all time, under American
control"
In saying this, Justice Harlan had no
thought of rejecting upon that very
large, influential and valuable class
known as naturalized citizens. He took
care to commend to the thoughtful con-
sideration of that very class the dangers
which threaten the country from the
coming hither, through the cOnnivance
and by the aid of foreign State and To-
cal authorities, of startling numbers of
worthless characters, as well as criminals
from foreign jails and penitentiaries, all
of whom will, sooner or later, be de-
manding the privileges of citizenship,
and taking part in the making and un-
making of our laws.
There is no more important question
before the American people to-day than
the strengthening of our naturalization
and immigration laws to the point of
completely guarding our institutions
against the-assaultS which are constant
" being made upon them from the
worthless characters" referred to. The
city of Chicago, in which Justice Har-
Ian raised his voice in such emphatic
protest, furnishes abundant evidence of
the truth of his remarks and of the ne
cessity which exists for applying the
remedy which he proposes.

RUTHERFORD B. HAYES and Grover
Cleveland were side by side upon the re-
viewing stand and in the carriage that
took them to Madison Square, and they
were frequently associated during the
great patriotic demonstration at New
York. If the younger man who has more
recently vacated the great Office held for
a time by both could be assured as noble
a place in American history as that Gen
eral Hayes will certainly hold he would
be fortunate indeed.
