The Signal has dipped down into the
siums Of Republicanism and resurrected that
antediluvian individual "Old Fashioned Dem
Ocrat" with his numerous aliases, who comes
in such good play when the Republicans find
themselves in tight place. Oh, no, Mr..

fact they are not built that way, especially SO
since you have called them all the bad names
found in the vocabulary of the English lang
mage. In other words, you have slapped
them upon one cheek and they are not going

tN-Post Office matters are very quiet in
Napoleon, with the exception of few squibs
in the NORTHWEST now and then. That paper
seems TO think it should have the power of
naming the next p. NJ. We are under the
impression that the less it says for a candi-
date for that place, the better it will be for
the said candidate.-Signdl.
Now that is too bad, for we had come to the
conclusion to boom the Signal proprietor for
postmaster with all the vim there was in us,
for we honestly believe he is fair repre-
sent ative of the class of men the Republican
party will give place to.
He is entitled to the position because he is
not soldier, for it would be too much like
apeing the Democrats to supplant one-armed
Sam Haag with MANNED Republican soldier.
He is entitled to it because Judas,
now the big mogul of the Republican party
of this county, would in all probability be
made deputy postmaster, in order to draw a
distinctive line between the two parties-the
Democrats favoring soldiers widow and
the Republicans political boodler.
He is entitled to the postmastership, for
he has consecutively voted the Republican
ticket in Henry county for t,Uo years, whereas
some of the other aspirants have voted it for
the past quarter of century.
He is entitled to the position, for it is but
a few weeks ago he threatened to sell his party
out in Henry county-desert it and advocate
peoples movement.
He is entitled to it, because he is raw re-
cruit in the Republican ranks, two years ago
not knowing upon which side of the political
fence to drop, but now he is working as
siduously in harmony with his annex to
build (2) up his chosen party-all for Doodle.
He is entitled to the Office, because three
ffths of its patrons are Democrats, and he
loves them so, using such endearing (?)
names when referring to them. All Demo-
Gratis should make haste to sign the Signals
petition, but we caution them not to run ov-
er each other in their greed.
But why enumerate. his qualifications are
legion, and all Of them will no doubt be
brought to the notice of Congressman Booth
man, without the aid Of this paper. Our old
soldier citizen, D. NJ. Jones, is also candi-
date, as will be others no doubt. But as he
is a disabled soldier he stands but little
chance, for the reason given above. Let the
fight go on, its huge nuts for the Democrats,
as they will see the greedy Republicans in
hot water for at least year or more, and
witness the fur fly and blood squirt quite
lively as the hair pulling progresses.

B-The Signal assumes the character of
the whelp and says we made personal at
tack upon the editor of the Defiance Repub-
tican. We made no personal attack upon
the editor of that sheet, for, we did not
know who its editor was. We merely
spoke fguratively, and as for the ''plain
truths" the Republican hurled back at US,
the Signal knew them to be "plain lies," but
again it acted the whelp and endorsed the
dirty ISLANDERS.

"a" The Philadelphia Record wants to know
how it comes that all changes of wages not
ed in the public prints are downward. Re-
ductions here, cuts there, and lower sched-
ules somewhere else-such is the course of
the workingman's wages from day to day.
The point of this is that the political doctri-
naries who told the laborer last fall how the
tariff kept up his wages were lying to him.

THE HOME RULE VICTORY.

The more the methods and purposes of
the recent prosecution of Parnell are
made manifest the more the Irish Amer
leans are to be congratulated upon the
great victory Parnell has achieved for
home rule in forcing the London Times
INTO such lgnominious defeat. There
was time when that paper could have
retired from the contest with no worse
crime than stupidity chargeable to it;
but that time has now passed forever.
II, when the infamous Piggott was ex-
posed as the william he is, the Times had
openly acknowledged it had been i'm
posed upon 1T could then have retired
from the suit with the semblance of hon
or left, but now it has virtually fathered
his crimes and must suffer the conse-
Quences. The importance of this vic
tory to the cause of home rule can hard
" be estimated. Three years had passed
in what was apparently fruitless strug-
gle against heartless and tyrannical
power. The friends of peaceful agita-
ton were losing hope and spirit and the
men who had always favored more az
gressive measures were again as
Stunning sway. Ii might almost
be said that the supreme
crisis in the struggle of Ireland for rights
justice could never have denied had
come. The wisdom of those who coun-
seled patience and peaceful means in the
attainment of that glorious end has been
fully demonstrated. The warth of the
revolutionist must give way to this sig
nal success. and those friends who were
growing lukewarm in their support are
already ranging to reinforce the common
cause.
Not only are the friends of home rule
strengthened and inspirited but its
enemies are dumbfounded. Seldom in
the history of popular government has q
political party been SO stricken, and its
inherent weakness SO thoroughly exposed.
n cause which must rest upon the vile
schemers of such paid perjurers as Pig
gott cannot long retain hold upon any
thinking people. and the party that
would resort to such means must be in
the last extremity. The downfall
is but an incident in the general
wreck which is certain 10 fol-

In his Grafton at Chicago last Friday,
ex-Secretary Jacob D. Cox had few
words to say about the civil service re-
form. Both parties, he said, put it in
their platforms. Democrats and Re-
publicans alike profess to be reformers.
Yet after twenty years the work of re-
form is, largely, still to be done; and
why? Because, Mr.. Cox suggests, a
long education in demoralizing ways is
to be corrected only by a patient. pro-
gressive education in the other sort Of
ways. Because, in order to get back to
Washington's practice. we must have a
revival of Washington's spirit. On this
point the distinguished speaker enlarged
as follows:
Washington's prompt Judgment in ev-
erything which belonged to the moral side
of public duty removed him at once from
the region of personal intrigue and politi-
cal self-seeking. With him public office
was the most sacred Of public trusts, to be
administered for the good OF the whole
people with earnest, industrious, whole
souled devotion to the common good. He
had nothing but condemnation and con-
tempt for the man who could let his per-
sonal interests or ambitions take pre-
cedeuce of the public service. The prin-
ciple of honor and devotion to duty is a
very broad and simple one, but, when
fully understood and honestly applied, it
is the essence of all right administration
from presidencies to pettiest cierkships.
1t will be found that the essence of every
true reform in administration is to bring
back public service to the control of this
principle The essence of all administra-
tive corruption will be found in the SUBJ
stitution for it of personal interest.

BUSINESS AND STOCKS.

Bradstreets reports general improve
fnent in business during the week. The
iron trade is unsettled with reduction IN
wages in Pennsylvania on account of
southern competition. Textile manu-
featuring in New England is brisk and
the dry goods trade through the country
fairly active. Wheat has made little
change during the week. The Financial
Chronicle notes such an abundance of
money in New York borrowed at inter
est las deposits) by banking institutions
that they have to push to secure loans in
order to keep it ticking. The same jour
nal thinks the coal trade is in very bad
shape and that restriction of out
put must soon be made. In this line it
is to be noticed that Jay Gould. who
made millions in proclaiming the coal
roads worthless some years and who
then bought in heavily and became a
director Of the Lackawanna, has this
year declined reelection, One report
has it that President Sloan and he have
quarreled and that the next move will
be dropping Sloan from the Missouri
Pacific road.
The statement of railroad earnings,

are the following tremendous d eclines,

This is the invitation to stockholders
to look into what they own.
In New York last week sales of the
Joshua Jones real estate showed large
advances over the prices fixed by the ex-
ecutors and demonstrated again that
land on Manhattan island is one of the
safest purchases in the world. One lot
brought $3.50 a square foot. This
piece of real estate is assessed at $4,000
in all by she New York authorities, and
it sold for $211, 900. 1t is interesting to
read that after witnessing the sale real
estate owners had meeting to protest
against undue burdening of their prop
erty with the load of taxation.
The stock market is expected to show
improvement this week by reason of the
abundance of money and the determine
ton of the bankers to force the settle
