increased in material wealth and pros
perity. We have been spared from
plague and famine; and the appointed

THERE are some lessons of the recent
local election so plain that no man can
misunderstood them. The first, and the
important one, is, that there must be a
radical reduction of fees and salaries of
county officers. Except for the enor-
nous emoluments of the Sheriff s office
Mr.. Patterson would not have made such
frantic efforts to capture it. If the net
compensation of that office was but
$500, as it should be, instead of $1,000,
candidates could not afford to expend
$4,000 or more corrupting voters, in a
vain effort to capture the office. The
entire body polite feels the debasing
effects of such condition of affairs.
Indeed, it is astonishing how many men
are susceptible to such influences, and
more astonishing that men who are sup
posed to have some notions of self-re-
repect are seemingly insensible to the
fact that there is anything wrong in ac-
cepting money for supposed political in
f1uence.
The County Republican convention
pronounced in favor of reduction of
fees and salaries. This can be accom-
plished at the ensuing session of the
Legislature if the People petition for
and demand it in downright earnest.
The probabilities are that it will not be,
unless there is energetic. action by the
People. Representatives in the Gener-
al Assembly can not fairly be expected
to carry through such measure unless
assured that the People are at their
backs, and that they will uphold them
against odds.
An astonishing feature of the election
was the result in Pease township, espe-
cially in Bridgeport precinct. Along
the river, from end to end, it is a hive
of manufacturing. Back from the river
its farmers and gardeners enjoy the
benefits of superior markets. All
owe this condition of affairs to
Protective Tariff. One month be-
fore the election a new law had gone
into operation. 1t was deemed a salts
factory enactment to protectionists. That
entire community owes to protection all
it enjoys and all the prosperity it has
enjoyed in the past. The issue was
distinctly made. Yet the voters lower
ed the standard of Protection right in
the shadow of their mills. Why? Is it
possible that a candidate for Sheriff
could so demoraliZe the voters as to
cause them to wholly lose sight of the
tremendous importance of sustaining
a political organization that had afford
ed them such opportunities for advance
ment? Apparently many people down
there were more intent upon electing a
Sheriff than in upholding a great princi-
ple-more intent upon getting few
dirty dollars from candidate than the
steady hum of machinery and constant
and profitable employment.
Except for her Congressional candi-
date, Bellaire and Pultney township
did well. Under the circumstances, the
city and township ought to have given
Poorman at least 500 majority. That
was an occasion when local pride should
have put party politics in the rear.
''The embattled farmers" did well,
and, altogether, the result in the county
at large is gratifying, indeed.

CURRENT TOPICS.

THE able Gazette has labored edito-
rial on the causes of defeat in this coun-
ty. The editor concludes that, if all the
Democrats of the county had voted and
several hundred Republicans had not,
the majority for our State ticket would
have been less than one hundred. and
the greater part of the Democratic tick
ct elected. Sage conclusionl worthy an
editor whose party is in the minority
berating his partisans for scratching.
Not in twenty years has a So o-called Dem
ocrat had ghost of chance for Office
in this county except by scratching.
For seventeen years so-called Demo
Gratis have had control of the Auditor S
Office, while the county has invariably
given Republican majorities. For six
years that party controlled the Clerk S
Office and the Probate Office under the
same conditions. Yet, while under the
most remarkable combination of circum-
stances ever known in the county the
editors candidate for Sheriff was able to
gobble the votes of about 200 Republi-
cans of Pease township, great outcry
is raised because some 25 Democrats of
Warren township and st. Clairsville pre-
cinct respectively, voted for the Repub
lican candidate, and thus prevented
what would have been the most scandal
Gus rape of the ballot-box in the history
of the county. Never before was so
bold and desperate an assault made upon
free elections in this county. Every man
who contributed in any measure to de-
feat it did good government and Socie-
ty such service as men rarely have the
opportunity to perform. The triumph
of Patterson and his methods would
have been an everlasting reproach to the
county.
Mr. Scott's canvass was clean and
manly one. No one accused him Of
haunting saloons, or of carousing with
drunken men. Not one of his associ-
ates upon the ticket had cause to COM
plain that he was conducting purely
personal canvass. No citizen of the
county had occasion to find fault with
his methods. No slipping around in
gum shoes at night on his part.
In the face of PattersOn's known
methods, the Gazette has the audacity to
cant about his popularity. Fudgel In
the light of the election of two weeks
ago. Patterson would be beaten 500 if a
candidate to-day. True, the county mar
rowly escaped the everlasting shame of
his success, but to-day the people would
reject him with an emphasis that would,
perhaps, penetrate even the dull brain
of the editor.
This is the third attempt within dozen
years to capture the Sheriff s office by
the lavish expenditure of dirty money.
Two of the candidates ruined them
selves morally and financially. 1t re-
mains to be seen what will become of
the third.

The Aspiring Girl.

She is bright and ambitious; she
looks out at the workers in the world
and thinks that if she were among them
she would make great success, and
that the reward of fame-money4
would come to her in plenty. Now, |
do not want to say word to discourage
the one who thinks she is doing right in
walking in this path. 1t Is hard one
to travel, and for the traveller there is
not the gentle protection. the kindlS
consideration which is her lot at home. :
But ought you to go? May not the
lifework for you be in the home? May
not the reward of industry be sense
of duty done, and the love of those
around you? We are all too prone to
accept these rewards as commonplace,
and only what should come To US,
whereas they are, my dear girls, the
brightest jewels that shine in the crown
of woman. Look at home. On the
WORK that is 'itng for YOU there. DO
not underestimate its value. Whatever
it is, do it with willing heart and q
quick hand. Think it your pleasure to
do it we'll.
Make 1t your delight to be so success
fui that the home people will praise
you. And if sometimes you give a
thought 10 the big, gay world, where
each is for herself anu God for all, be
ashamed of the sigh that you give. re-
membering that You are working where
God thinks it best for you to do so: and
that you only merit displeasure when
you scorn your work, or do it as do
those who think eye-service of value
Don't, don't, dear girl, rush away from
your home. Think it all out first and
see where mother needs you. Then,
after all, you get better reward than
any other worker. for you receive the
