UNIONTOWN.

The exercises on Children's Missionary
Day at the q. P. Church were carried out
under unfavorable circumstances, but the
occasion was not without interest to those
in attendance. The serious illness of the
pastor (the Rev. VIM. F. Johnson), who
had prepared special sermon for that
day, prevented him from being present,
much to the regret of his congregation.
Then we had the morning rainfall, and
the leader of the choir was unable to at
tend. Each one, however, strove to do
his best, and the entertainment passed
off pleasantly There was excellent sing
ing by the little girls of the Sabbath
school, led by Mr.. T. G. Price. The tx
ercises consisted of singing, recitations,
scripture readings, and papers concerning
the various Missions of the church. Hon.
T. NJ. Nichol acted as Superintendent of
the Sabbath-school, assisted by Mr.. J. c.
Pollock. Much praise is due the young
ladies, who had the matter in charge, for
the handsome floral decoration Had the
day been pleasant there would have been
large attendance.
Miss Marie Hatcher, who has her home
with Mrs. Abigail Nichols, of this vicinity,
has been very sick for the past few days,
and as yet her condition is not much i'm
proved.
Mr.. Frank Hicks, of Bellaire, whose
marriage was recently noticed, came up
with his young wife last week, and will
spend some time with friends in this To-
cality. Mr.. Hicks is a young men of in
dustrious habits, and his friends wish for
him and his partner happy welded life.
The Rev. VIM. F. johnson was taken
seriously ill with remittent fever on Fri
day of last week, much to the regret of
his many friends. At this writing, how
ever, he is much improved, and hopes
soon to be about again.
We regret also to announce the serious
illness of Miss Mamie Thompson, daugh-
ter of Mr.. Jos. Thompson, of this locality,
and we are glad to state that Mr. Joseph
Bell, who has been quite sick, is now
much better.
Among the good and handsome guns
brought into this locality is one recently
purchased by Mr.. John Taylor, Jr. of the
firm of J. A. Taylor & Son. 1t is of the |
LeFevre line of goOds-cuts up in the
hundred dollar rates, and is finely |
finished gun in every detail. Mr.. Taylor
is a good shot, and fond of the sport.
Mr.. James Taylor is lover of good |
horses, and keeps that kind on his farm.
His friends will regret to learn of the
death of one on Sabbath, for which Mr.
Taylor had refused two hundred dollars
Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Grimes, of this
place, visited last week at Barnesville.-

THE fact that the British war vessels
in considerable numbers are collecting
in Canadian waters in both the Atlantic
and Pacific has caused some speculation
as to the cause of such a proceeding on
the part of the British government. 1t
can hardly be that they fear any serious
result from the Behring sea seal fisheries
dispute. It is more probable that it is
only in pursuance of plan inaugurated
to strengthen and increase the resources
of the government at home and abroad
in the line of coast defenses and this
may be a schooling cruise for the bene-
fit of the naval officers.

THE Democracy of the Sixteenth Con-
gressional district in convention at Orr
vile last week, on the 74th ballot named
Hon. John G. Warwick, of Massillon, as
the man to set up his pegs in opposition
to Major Mckinley. Warwick's nomi-
nation was the final result of fierce
contest which lasted two days and a
night, and in which many candidates
took hand, Hon. John Monnott being
in the lead.
Warwick has a barrel and was
Lieutenant Governor under Hoadly. The
principal object was to name a man
who could shovel out the dollars, the
Democracy recognizing that, even with
two thousand majority to begin with,
they have monstrous task to defeat the
champion of protection. No attempt
was made to find a man, nor could they,
equal to Major Mckinley, but simply to
nominate man to hold the party vote
Brice, the so-called Senator, has prom
ised financial aid, and the campaign will
assume National Importance. With all
odds against him, Mckinley will go in
to the struggle to win, and he is not a
man accustomed to allow himself to go
under. A few years ago he overcame
nearly as large majority, and since
then his popularity has increased, and
his towering intellect has developed it
self. The success of the Democracy in
their attempts to retire the Major here
tofore have not been gratifying, and
they have the tussle of their lives on
hand if they win now.

THURSDAY, JULY Il, 1890.

In view of the obstruction tactics re-
sorted to by the Democratic Senators in
opposition to the passage of the Federal
election law, the Republicans are now
considering the feasibility of passing a
bill making new apportionment to take
effect at the coming Congressional elect
ion. 1t is thought by Superintendent
Porter that the totals of the census re-
turns can be footed up by the middle of
August, and such being the case, it will
be perfectly in order to make the new
apptrtionment. Already bill has been
drafted on basis which will add fifty
members to the present number of
Congressman. The North having made
greater strides in an increase of popula-
ton, would receive the greater number
of new members, the lions share of
whom would be Republicans. In this
way the effect of the gerrymander in
Ohio and Maryland would be nullified,
and the next House put practically out
of the reach of the Democrats. Of
course this proposed plan, against which
the Democrats cannot kick on any legal
or technical grounds, causes the Democ-
racy no little worry. Such a speedy
completion of the census count, was
wholly unlocked for by them, and they
are all out of sorts not knowing what to
do. The Democratic leaders are getting
into sorry position, and are ready to
acknowledge themselves checkmated by
their adyersaries. Verify, in these days
it is not pleasant thing to be a
Democrat.

there are some one or more persons, whose

1t is natural for such persons to take es-

remedy to others. The praise that fol-
lows it's introduction and use makes it
immensely popular. While it is intended
especially for collie, cholera morbus, dys-

cure chronic diarrhea. If such be the

SOME figures on the Fiftieth Congress
ional vote of South Carolina, Georgia
and Mississippi explain why the Demo-
Gratis of those States are fighting so des-
perately against the Federal Election
bill. In each of the seven Congression-
al districts of South Carolina the average
vote was about 5000. In each of the
seven districts of Kansas the vote aver
aged almost 10000. In each of the sew
en- districts of Mississippi the vote av-
eraged 1000, while in each of the seven
districts of New Jersey the vote averag-
ed about $4,000 The average in the ten
districts of Georgia is about 5000 and
that of the ten districts of Tennessee 3d.
600. The difference between the size of
the votes in South Carolina, Georgia and
Mississippi and that of the three States
they are contrasted with represents
about the size of the negro vote that is
kept out of the ballot boxes by intimida-
tion, or not counted after deposited.
wonder the Democrats of these States
are rabid in their opposition to the bill.
If it should pass there would be a full
vote honestly counted of several times
the size of the present with very differ
ent results from the, present fraudulent
returns.

JUST whether the Louisiana Lottery
is to have new lease of life seems a
question of doubt. Governor Nichols
vetoed the bill and the House passed
the bill over his veto, and the Senate in
tended to do likewise, but was prevent
ed by the illness of a member whose
vote was needed, and who has since
died. However, a resolution was pass
ed by the Senate censuring the veto of
the Governor as unconstitutional and
denying his power to refuse his sigma
ture, and in this the House concurred.
The lottery people claim the bill to have
passed, while the ants dispute this, so
that the matter is sure to get into the
courts and make rich harvest for the
attorneys. The U. S. Supreme Court
will probably in the end be called upon
to decide whether for the sum of 81 ,250,-
900 per year this gigantic swindle is to
be perpetuated. 1t is reported that ex-
President Cleveland has been retained
on behalf of the lottery people.

A PLEA FOR JUSTICE.

Is There Necessity for Governmental As
sistance to the Farmers of the Country?
If So. Let the Way be Found.
The new departure in the financial
affairs of the country advocated by Sem
ator Leland Stanford, of California, and
ably pla ed before the people of the
country by your paper and others advo-
eating the cause of the farmer. meets
with the due consideration of our Farm
ers' Alliance and the thinking portion
of the farmers of the country. At first
glance such a proposition appears to be
fraught with many objections, and in it's
practical aspects seems to offer nearly
insurmountable difficulties But such
obje tions careful consideration of
the subject gradually removes, and the
justice of such a financial departure
from the old routine once clearly dem
onstrated, the difficulties in the way Of
carrying the Senator's proposition into
practical effect can not be considered.
Is there a necessity for governmental
financial assistance to the farmers of
fording such? are the points first to be
settled. Who, acquainted with the
interests of the country, can doubt the
necessity of some steps to be taken to
relieve that industry from the onerous
burden now resting upon it?
More than perhaps any other section.
of the country is the South interested
in this question Left by the war with
desolated fields, destroyed homes, de-
pleted of farming stock and farming inn
elements, the Southern farmer has since
abored in the hopeless task of restoring
these losses The soil was left, all else
vas destroyed. HIS hands were ready to
restore the ravages of the past. but the
means were wanting to aid his industry
and toll. The procuring of the neces-
sary funds for his operations proved an
absolute impossibility in many sections
of the South. and when such funds were
procurabie, they could only be had at
an interest destructive of any hope for
a remuneration of his labor.
The Government loans, readily placed
with the banker and capitalist at low
figures, were in their turn doled out By
