SECRETARY TRACY has finally deci-
ded against the people of Portsmouth,
\. H, in the matter of the "Old Iron
sides" and that historic vessel, otherwise
known as the frigate Constitution, is TO
be towed to the Washington Naval
Arsenal, there to be used as a receiving
ship. Our sympathies have all along
been with the people of Portsmouth,
who have always taken a great and pa
triotic pride in the venerable frigate,
and We are sorry that she is to be de-
graded to the ranks of a receiving vessel
She is about the only vessel to remind
us of our former greatness as a marine
power, and she ought to have been per
mitted TO be at Portsmouth in honOra-
BILE state as long as her stauneh timbers
hold together, which they promise to dc
for many years to come. More than
thirty years ago the proposition was
made to degrade the noble frigate, and
it was burst of indignation at that sug-
gestion which drew from DIR. Holmes
one of the nOblest of his poems
OLD IRONsIDES.
Ave. tear her tattered ensign down
Long has it waved on high;
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky;
| Beneath it rung the battle shout,
And burst the cannOn'S roar =
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweep tine clouds no more
Her deck,-Once red with heroes blood
Where knelt the vanquished foe,
When winds were hurrying DER the flood
And waves were white below
No more shall feel the victOr's tread,
Or know the conquered knee;
The harpies of the shore shall pluck
The eagle of the sea
Oh better that her shattered hulk
Should sink beneath thewave;
Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave:
Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail;
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale

CAMERON'S POWER

From the New York Herald
In the whole of Mr.. Cameron's career
there is nothing so striking as the pow
er he welded as political leader or
party manager. In Pennsylvania poll
tics it was the might of a dynasty. 1t
placed the son in the Senatorial seat of
the father. 1t was felt also in national
affairs. 1t has hardly parallel in
American politics save the power once
welded by Thurlow Weed in New Yorf

THE MARTYRS SWORD.
Upper sandusky, o. Letter.

upper SanduSky, o., Letter.
A very valuable relic has been found
near the city. \ part of the sword that
Col. Crawford, the celebrated Indian
fighter, carried during his fatal cam
paign in this region, was unearthed.
The relic was found near where Craw-
ford was burned at the stake, four inch
es from the surface of the earth. A
young son of Matt Walton was planting
corn, and on striking an obstruction
with his planter, he made an examina-
ton. On throwing away the dirt. he
brought forth the handle, hilt, and a
few inches of blade of an old sword He
took his find to his father, who hastily
cleansed it. The handle, hilt and hand
guard were of glittering gold, elegantly
engraved and in perfect preservation.
but the blade had almost rusted awav.
Mr.. Walton brought the relic to town.
The handle of the sword bears a name.
but the letters are almost illegible, vet
it is plain to be seen that the name is
"Wllllam Crawford" 4 most conclu-
sive evidence that the weapon was that
of Crawford is that when the sava. G /.
were taxing their captive to his doom,
ne broke the blade of hiss sword near the
hand guard, SO that his captors might
not kill him with his own weapon. The
spot where he broke the sword was near
a small creek. Since then the creek has
borne the name of "Brokensword."- >
The finding of this relic recalls the trag-
ic and inhuman death of the brave com
mander. 1t was just 10Y years ago this
month that he and his fearless soldiers
were defeated by the fierce Delawares
on Battle Island, only few miles north
of here. They fought bravely and long,
but were powerless. Almost every man
was made captive. The Colonel was
Immediately informed that he was to be
put to death, and was burned at the
stake.

Governor Foraker is serving his second

as to efficiency, vigor, and integrity, the
management of the financial affairs of
the State during his administration hav-

successful. He has made an absolutely
stainless official record, and there are
many reasons why he should be urged to
accept a nomination for a third term.

THURSDAY, JULY 4, 1889.

IT would be idle to assert that the
denomination of Governor Foraker was
not disappointment to many Repuol-
cans of Belmont County, some because
of opposition to third terms, but more
because of opposition to the Governor S
methods. But the disappointment was
only temporary. Men soon saw that no
other solution than his denomination
was possible, and saw, too, that the great
mass of the people, unquestionably IA
vored it, and they recognize the fact
that the masses are wiser than a few
individuals.
Governor Foraker is an able and bril-
liant man, and has warmer place In
the affections of the people of Ohio than
any man of his time. That he will
make wonderful campaign, and that
he will be elected, we are quite san
guine; and that, elected Governor of
Ohio for a third consecutive term, he
will be more conspicuous figure than
he wonld be in the Senate is quite GER
tain.
Governor Foraker is a clean man. and
his administrations have been econOm-
ical and patriotic.
The third term bugaboo should have
no force, as applied to a candidate for
Governor of Ohio. The Office has no
patronage, nor other means of undue
advantage, as possessed by President
of the United States, with the enormous
patronage at his disposal.

THE Indiana Supreme Court has de-
cided that a license to sell liquor is not
a contract but a special restrictive tax
imposed for the good of the State, and
may be changed or even annulled under
the exercise of the police power of the
State. In other words, it is license
only in name and not in effect. This is
in harmony with the decision of the
Ohio Supreme Court that the ia i'm
posed by the State is not license, as
the term was formerly understood to
mean, and as the ProhibitiOnists have
insisted that it does mean.

THAT KANTANKEROUS

Old woman described in the nursery bal
lad, who lived upon nothing but victuaI:
and drink" and yet would never
be quiet" was undoubtedly troubled
with chronic indigestion. Her vlctuals
like those of many other elderly persons
whose digestive powers have become i'm
paired, did MT agree with her. This was
before the era of HOstetter's Stomach
Bitters, or some one of her numerous
friends and relatives would undoubtedly
have persuaded her to try the great spe-
cific for dyspepsia, constipation and bill
iOuSnesS. This would have been meas
ure of self-prOtection on their part, for
she would soon have been cured and
ceased to disturb them with her clamOr.
The most obstinate cases of indigestion,
with its attendant heartburn, flatulence,
constant uneasiness of the stomach and
of the nerves, are completely overcome by
this sovereign remedy. Chills, fever and
bilious remittent, rheumatism and kidney
troubles are also relieved by it. TAT
