Out of all the clerks in the In

pointed. Mr.. Mason fred in four
days all Joe Miller appointed in
four years. They areawiul hungry.
The appointment of Gus FLAG is
one of the greatest acts of states
manship ever attempted by Hon. c.
B. Smith. But it is tough on those
other fellows who thought they had
it in their inside pocket.
Hon. Jim Menager now knows
how it is himself. So near and yet
so farI But he must remember il is
all for the good of the party. His
influence is nothing in politics.
The Wanamaker circular to post
masters soliciting patronage to his
store, is tire most disgraceful move
in modern politics, but the Repub-
lican organs can see nothing wrong
about it.
Workingmen who voted the Re
publican ticket last fall under
pledges of plenty of work and in
creased wages, are now kept busy
hnstling around for job at any
price.
Henry Simmons, the we'll known
barber, was an applicant for a pos
tai cIerkship. He is now in the
soup. He was qualified, better
qualified than either of the ones APP
pointed, but his color was against
him. No coIored man stands a
show under the new regime. They
are good cattle to vote the Republi-
can ticket, and hustle around with
the band and the torchlight process
ion, but in the matter of office they
will be excused. 1t isn't their turn
yet. Along in the next century per-
haps the coIored people will learn
that the Republicans have about as
little use for them as anybody except
on election day.

ers arrived at Jeannette last even
iifg, ostensibly 20. work in Chambers
and McKee,s big new window glass
plant. They got into PittSbnre
some time III the afternoon. and
about $50 p. m. started for jean
,nette. The men about the depot
reported that there werc Mt least 20
in the party, but so f;ll. as could be
learned late last evening only ten
men, one woman and two children
reached Jeanette. The reports
from Philadelphia said that twenty
landed altogether, and they will
probably reach the new glass town
today.
About week ago a party of six
more arrived. With the firsttbatch
of % and the last two lots there are
now in Jeanette Al English glass
workers who, it is strongly presum-
ed, have been hired under contract.
When they landed in Philadelphia
they claimed not to know each
other, but any man who could have
seen them playing cards together
last night and calling each other by
the most familiar names. would
soon be convinced that they were
old friends. How many more are
to come the fates and the proprietors
of the glasshouse can tell; but both
uniformly are silent.

By the laws of this country, if we
remember rightly, a foreign-buiIt
vessel, although it may be owned
by our own citizens, is forbidden
to carry the American flag. 1t is
said the steamship company which
owns the Missouri is composed of
Americans, but that ship is COM
manded by British officers and car
ries the British flag, and in case of
a war between the countries she
would probably become part OF
the British navy The high tariff
protection which causes ship owners
to patronizc British shipbuildcrs In
stead of our own, is bad enough OF it
self. but when its further effect is to
deprive American navigators of en-
ployment and swell the war forces
of q rival, at the expense of Ameri-
can capital, it is time to abandon
the idiotic policy.

We, the undersigned sureties of
VIM. r. Tippett, late Sargent of the
town of Point Pleasant, having heard
rumors to the effect that said Tip
petit was largely indebted to said
town aud, that we, his sureties,
would be called npon to make good
a large deficit; in justice to the tax
payers of the town, the said VIM. r.
Tippett, late Sargent, and ourselves
as his sureties, we deemed it meet
and proper that full statement
should.be made. Accordingly, at our
request, the said VIM. r. Tippett
exhibited to us all of the tax tickets
remaining in his hands uncoIlected,
which we carefully listed, and we
find that he has in his hands tax
tickets amounting to s4,863.S2 that
on said amount he would be entitled
to the sum ofs364. 7s, ascommissions.
aggregating the sum of s5,228.6G;
that by the records of the town't that
at the last settlement made by the
Finance Committee of said town
with said W. R. Tippett, Sargent.
as aforesaid, the said Tippett was
indebted to the town in the sum of
s5,O7O45, to pay which he has the
above amount of s5,22s.6O, leaving
a balance due the said w. r. Tip
petit from the said town of s15s.15.
In addition to which, the said town
is indebted to the said W. R. Tip
petit in orders amounting to nearly
$4,000. We make this statement
in justice to Il faithful officer who
has been unjustly maligned, and we
do it ofour own volition, never hav-
ing been requested to do so by said
officer. Respectfully,

The Republican party, says the
Chicago Herald, is the genius of
faction. 1t is itself a faction. 1t
does not and cannot represent the
Union. Its national conventions
offer the scandal of Southern dele
cations whose votes are largely for
sale. Faction breeds faction. The
rupture in New York and Illinois,
in 1880, while it preserved the
nation from third term, weakened
the party to the point of defeat in
1854. The growth OF sections within
the local forces may be deplored by
the Chicago Tribune. But those
sections are natural to sectionalisn.
