A Great Bluff at Intimidation. !.

The NORTHWEST was apprised through the
medium of third or fourth party that Mar
tin Bernat was the man whom, il has been
alleged. an attempt had been made to rob on
the Bryan Pike last week and Of which
this paper gave an account with the omission
of names. Word has also been received
through the same source that Bernat de-
nies the attempted robbing. This way of
doing business indicates that the two fellows
in question have been TO him and played a
game of intimidation. He will not give the
names and seemed ill at ease when asked to
do so. That an attempt to rob him was made
there is little doubt, as he himself was loud
in asserting until interviewed by the perpe-
traitors. However, he is the ''doctor" and as
he is indisposed to take action in the mat
ter, it will probably end here.

THE WORLDS HOLIDAYS.
'Pwo Occasions That Are Universally
Observed Among Civilized

OuIlbt LIldo dilu Nv" N@A
Day have a common interest
with every civilized nation ex-
tant. The one originates in
Divinity, while the other is, to
a certain extent, the creation
of man alone as means OF
measuring time; the one, the
birthday of Christ-the other,
the birthday of another year.
For 1890 years both have
been observed, still the inter
est and JOY attendant to their
return each year do not
wane,-instead, they are al
ways on the increase. In A
merica, where civilization has
reached it's acme, where all is
being got out of life that is
Gin it,, these great days re-
ceive due respect in many diff
ferent ways, more marked IN
cities than in a town like Ma
poleon. For, instance, in Gin

citizens Of the Queen City, as
sembled together fully 5000
fatherless and penniless waits

present and a bag of sweet
meats. "Christmas is a day.
said Cincinnati's people,
"when both rich and poor
should take comfort in MAX
ing Others happy" And this
was their way in SO doing
Napoleon is not a metropo-
lis like Cincinnati; also our
"penniless' and "fatherless"
are few in numbers, yet there
are ways of making each other
happy. With this end in view
Saur & Balsley are making
preparations to place it with
in the reach of all to manifest
token Of friendship by the pre-
,sentation of esteem in a tan
gible form. The object of this
firm has always been to fur
nish it's patronage with the
largest assortment of holiday
goods in it's line that the
county contains, and, as busi-
nes has increased so have the
facilities until, during the Hol-
hdays Of 1891 they will give
you an opportunity to select
from an immense and tasty
stock.
To enumerate or 60 into de-
tails is impossible and even
an attempt to so do would con-
sumo much space and then do
the stock itself an injustice.
You must call and examine

life, which, although dear to

chased at a mere nominal fig

A Washington correspondent says
that: "Help me Cassius, or | sink, "
was the substance of comm unica.
ton from Mckinley of Ohio, to the
National Executive committeeof the
Republican party, which met there
last week. The story, as it is told,
is that Mr.. Mckinley sent an urgent
appeal to the committee for large
sum of money to be used in the
Ohio campaign and that he sent
along with it very broad intima-
ton that unless it was Forthcoming
the jig was up with him and the
Legislature in that State.
ale is also said to have suggested
that the committee might easily
raise the money by putting the
screws on the manufacturers spec
tally benefited by his tariff bill.
And that was not the only appeal
for money presented to the commit
tee. Mr.. Clarkson told his COL
leagues that unless good sized bar
rel of cash was rolled into Iowa,
that state would take its place per.
manently in the Democratic column
and Secretary Fassett presented
bills for considerable amount left
unpaid from last years disastrous
campaign.
"But these were minor things
and excited but little interest COM
pared with the resignation of Quay,
not only as chairman of the two
committees, but as a member of the
national committee; and the resig-
nation of Dudley as treasurer of
both committees.
In this connection the Cumber
land Ddttg Times, referring to the
political situation in that county,
says "Is it mere coincidence
that Mckinley, fearing defeat in
Ohio, calls out Cash as, and the
Plutocrat having seen again the

zon of Allegany county politics
