Two Papers for the Price Of One.

We have effected an arrangement
by which we are able to offer this pa
per and the Pittsburg weekly Post
both for the sum Of $2.35 year. Ev-
cry man ought to take his county
paper. This goes almost without say
ing. In no other way can he learn
what is going on or has transpired
among the people with whom he lives.
In no other way can he get the pro-
ceedings of the county court, the Cos
sip of the county town, the plans of
the politician, foil returns Of the To-
cal elections, and the thousands of
other local events in the course of a
year which are never reported fully
in the city papers and most of which
are never even mentioned. No indeed
no person should think of doing with
out his county paper. But there are
many things which a county paper
cannot print for lack of room, such
as detailed reports of the proceedings
Of congress and the legislatures, ac-
counts of national nominating con
yentions, both of which will likely be
held next June, correspondence from
all parts of the world, descriptions
of battles, tornadoes, cyclones, great
fires, crimes and executions, with an
interesting and varied assortment OF
miscellaneous information. For all
this YOU must look to the big city
papers; and we want to suggest to
you that among the big city weeklies
there are few that equal and none
that surpass the Pittsburg Weekly
Post. It is IL page, S-column pa
per, printing SO columns OF reading
matter every week, and with such
enormous spree it of course has room
for the vast variety of news sugges-
ted above In no respect is this great
paper surpassed by a single contem.
porary in the United States, In poll.
tics it is staunchly Democratic as
every body knows. but it is great
family paper as well, special atten-
ton being paid to making it as en-.

working increasingly during the 1891
years elapsed to produce the amount
of wealth represented by the above
named ten men.
Or if the wealth of the ten men
was converted into silver dollars and
loaded ON two horse wagons. each
wagon carrying one ton, and each
wagon and team occupying 20 feet
of space, it would require $4,000
teams to haul it, which, when strung
out in line. would make a procession
100 miles in length.
The iniquitous system of class leg
islation in operation has produced
more than 81 900 millionaires in the
country who own fully so per cent oil
its wealth, and as consequence the
national legislation has been almost
exclusively in favor of 10 per cent oil
the inhabitants, known as American
barons; while IS per cent of the pop.

the hands of the protested law max
ers.
In view of the facts that the priv.
legged few are gathering unto them
selves the substance of the great plain
people by the process known as fa-
vorable legislation, in other words
legalized stealing; the farming and
producing classes have been left no
alternative than to organize for self
preservation,-hence it was that the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union. The f. M. b. A. and X. OF

COUNTRY MAIL DELIVERY.
IL Would be the Saving of the Time Of
the People Generally.
Chicago Herald.


One reason why free mail delivery
should be extended beyond the limits
of cities and largo towns is because
it would be in the broadest and best
sense economical 1t would effect
great saving Of time to the people in
the country 1t would take very
much less time in the aggregate for
one man to deliver the mail to a score
or more of farmers than for each Of
these farmers to 90 to the postoflice
and get his mail The farmer could
better afford to pay 3cents postage on
each letter, II it were necessary, than
to 60 after his mail every day or even
every three or fonr days. Whatever
time the farmer would save by free
delivery he could employ SO as TO
save from five to twenty times the
cost of delivery, and what he saved
would go to improve his condition in
some way. 1t might give him daily
paper with the market quotations, or
it might give him any of u hundred
things which he does not now enjoy.
But il is not necessary to increase
the postage on mail matter delivered
by the country carrier service. As
has heretofore been stated IN these
columns, it has been pretty thorough
ly demonstrated by experiments in no
less than 81 States that free delivery
would pay by including greatly in
creased use of the mails. 1t has been
found that the average cost is about
5000 per township. In some town
ships the increased use Of the mails
has not been enough to make up this
5000, but in others it has been more
than enough, SO that on the average
free delivery more than pays SO far
as it has been tried.

A very sad accident occurred in

which will disfigure a child for life.
Several children by the name of
Yorty whose parents are both dead,
live with their grandmother, Mrs.

children, little girl, aged about s
years, was standing in room look

was outside trying to shoot sparrows
with double barrel shot gun. Sud

house, with the gun over his shout

gun hitting the little girl in the
mouth, and, coursing backward, took
her left ear completely off not a part

then let some Bayard lay lance in

charges are being read from the At

The one question vital to the
American people is the truth or fall
sity of this disclosure; whether it
offends this or that nabob of the cap

be numbered with the forgotten dead,

HIS UPS AND DOWNS.
Who Though Poor is Evidently
Gentleman.
Huntington Commercial.

Occasionally there is seen on our
streets a man carrying several sad or
fiat irons, which he has, by process
of his own invention, converted into
polishing irons for the laundry.
His name is b. F. Love, and to see
him in his present deplorable condi-
ton with scant and shabby clothing.
you would not imagine him to have
been man of prominence, one who
had, in the past, filled positions OF
high honor. But such is the case.
Mr. Love is graduate of Jeifer-
son College in the State of New York,
and in his class were the following
eminent gentlemen whom, it is well
known, held prominent positions of
public trust @Horatio Seymour, Stew
art L. Woodford, Roscoe Conkling,
Garrett Smith and others. Roscoe
Conkling graduated first in the class
and Mr.. Love third.
He was a firm friend of James A.
Garfield. who was in Congress in
1859, and exerted his influence to Sc.
cure his election in that year.
Mr.. Love enlisted in the 9th Ohio
Infantry, and served with honor nm
til June %, 1862 He re enlisted in
the 105th Ohio Infantry in August
1862, and served until Lees surren-
der.
After leaving the army he went to
Oil City, Pa, and entered into a
speculation by which he lost $26, 900.
On the 10Th day of April, 1865, the
day upon which President Lincoln
was assassinated, he left Oil City fol
Ashtubula county, Ohio, where he
practiced law for several years, and
also engaged in the patent right bus
mess. After this he stumped the
country in the Greeley campaign OF
1872 and did very efficient work. In
1881 he was engaged as special cor.
respondent Of the Philadelphia Sun
day Mercury and held other posi-.
tions too numerous to mention.
He met the choice Of his affections
in 1872, and was married at Blairs-
vile, Indiana county, Pa. His wife
died six years later, leaving one
child, girl, born in Lexington, Ky,
He is now educating the young lady
at an eastern seminary.
Mr.. Love is man who is thor.
oughly competent in his line of bus
iness, and worthy the patronage Of
the people. He regrets his present
condition and entertains the hope OF
brighter days in the future He says
he is endeavoring to re-establish
himself in his once high position in
society.
He is fifty-one years of age.
