DEAR SIR:-Haying just been perus-
ing the Shelton Sentinel, new compel
itOr for journalistic honors. l tiud a very
readable paper, and being aware for the
last six months that such a paper would
see the light of day was not surprised;
but was astnnished TO read that it was
issued to fill long felt want, by cor
poratlon of old citizens OF Shelton, who
stand at the very head of the list of in
tclligent, progressive, public spirited and
wealthy men Of Mason county. Yet not
one of those intelligent and public spir-
tied persons that are doing so much 10
fill long felt want had the courage to
stand godfather 10 it, Now there are a
good many people in Shelton that feel
very much indebted TO those live men
that have done SO much for Shelton in
particular and Mason county in general
and expecting to do so much in the future,
that they would like to thank them in
person. But perhaps it had no father nor
no mother, merely a freak of nature in
None of her peculiar political throes, and
that it expects to exist under the care Of
a wet nurse. And by the way it throws
out the>sop to the saloons it will no doubt
wax fat and grow to large proportions,
as the saloons>~are heavily interested in
chaste and refined literature, which be-
lieve the Sentinel will be replete with.

OATSOP ALLEY Otpt. Il.
Mr.. EDITOR Il see by a great
many of the Democratic papers that
when ever they meet with Republi-
can and the war times are discussed
they say that it's too old, too long a.
90 to remember but they are always
ready to discuss the war tariff, or the
"robber tariff as they signate it.
Now, it seems to me, that one is about
as old as the other. Whenever they az
range for Democratic love feast, they
always go great ways further and call
up the ghosts of Jefferson and Jackson
to preside. Now, claim that we have
perfect right to go back further, to
the foundation of the government
We find there was just as much differ
ence of opinion on what principle the
government should run on, as there is
at the present time. 1t took several
years to reconcile these differences be-
fore the compact was acquiesced in by
the thirteen original colonies, and no
question assumed more Importance
than that of free trade and the tariff,
and if we study it up and compare the
years when We approached the nearest
to Tree trade with the year when We
had high tar:ff-according to the fig
ures and reports of the various bureaus
of vital st..tistics-we will find that We
had the greatest prosperity when We
had the highest tariff. That ought to
satisfy any one, after century trial,
that a protective tariff was what we
should have and we need no better ev-
idence than the report of the immigra-
ton Office, which states that we are
receiving over four hundred thousand
immigrants yearly, from the free trade
perhaps they come here
to be oppressed by our high tariff.-R.

Political campaigns are in progress in
Maine and Nermont-the governorship be
ing at stake in each case-but one would
hardly suspect it from the quietness with
which those States pursue the even tenor Of
their way. There is scarcely a ripple upon
the surface of public affairs The fact is
the republicans know they are going to
have their own way in both States, and
they are not making any fuss about it. The
democrats only made their nominations as
matter of form, and cant be expected TO
drum up much interest when they feel sure
that they are foreioomed to failure. Pine
Tree and Green Mountain republicanism is
one OF tho things that can be depended on.

An Election Law Necessary.

Ex-Judge Thurston of Nebraska president
Of the National republican league, talks
earnestly and to the point TO a Tribune re-
porter about the proposed federal election
law. Judge Thurston has travelled over
straightforward miles through the United
States during the past year, and has had
unusual facilities for studying the political
situation. He hopes and believes the Senate
will pass the federal election law. He says,
what every body knows to be true, that
the negro is not permitted to vote In a
large part of the South. BY intimidation,
violence, bloodshed and fraud, his
right Of citizenship is denied.
This fact is not only conceded
it is cxultngy proclaimed by the
| democratic party of the South, aud the
nation is openly defied, Says Judge Thurs
| ton The negro Of to-day was born in this
| country; he is a native American; he has
| always shown himself loyal and devoted tc
| our government. His citizenship was
awarded him on bloody fields by the judg.
ment Of bayonets. The republican party
was sponsor at the altar Of his baptism into
freedom, and it is responsible for his safety
and equality at every ballot box opened un-
der the stars and stripes The election
law is measure guaranteeing to every
American citizen, in every State in the
Union, the right to cast and have counted
one free ballot at each congressional cleo
ton. This law will not be enforced wher
elections are free. 1t can only be used L
prevent crime. No man complains of Law
against larceny, but the thief As Judg
Thurston says, no man or party will pro
test against so just qpd harmless a measur
unless he or it is meditating political crime
This talk that the South will boycott
Northern commerce if Congress insists upo

pronounces all nonsense, just as the South

since his utterance, have pronounced it

Why is # that the negroes do not gene
rally vote at the state elections in August
that in 1888, for example, there were only
a., no votes for the republican candidate
for governor, against l55, 913 for the demo
cratic, although there are nearly as many
negroes as whites in the State, and every
negro is counted as republican Simply
because the negroes recognizes the fact that
'it isn't healthy for them TO vote, New
York Evening Post.
No, there isn't anything healthy about
