econ BY NEW ERA.

OF the New ET0 Will be its last. II
and the Journal having been com
bined in one. Or rather the Jour
nal continues and the Era drops
I out OF existence. The power be-
hind the throne OF the Era now
having control Of the Journal, there
is no further mission for the for
mer and it will besimply closed out.
Messrs Heermans and White have
purchased the Preston County Jour.
nal Of w. NJ. o. Dawson and the
new firm is White & Heermans.
James W. White, formerly of the
Fra and Edward Heermans, son of
Frank Heermans, Esq, Cashier Of
tho Bank Of Kingwood. Mr.. G.
Y. Bishop Of the Era has retired
from the business, tho new firm
having bought out his interest. He
is closing out the stock of Stationary
and the paper outfit will DO sold or
merged into the Journal outfit.
The new firm has had charge Of the
Journal since the first of the month,
the final arrangements were made
last week but not in time for an
nouncement in the papers. Nego-
tiations have been pending the past
six months and the new departure
is no surprise to few parties who
keep posted on such matters. the
ARGUS for instance, but the matter
will be quite a surprise to most OF
the people of the county, and it is
very doubtful ii Mr.. Dawsons
friends will be satisfied, since it
leaves them in bad shape and Just
when they were on top again to.
1t looks like they were sold out
completely and they may abide by
it and they may not. 1t all de
ponds on the course of the new firm
of public sentiment mouldcrs. If
they can please and unite all fqc-
tons OF the party, land they will
have a hard road to travel if they
do) all we'll and good, otherwise
some of the Dawson element may
start Republican paper, this time.
Mr.. Dawson will feel in honor
bound not to do so, but his friends
are not bound up the same way.
The price paid for the Journal out
ut, building, good will" ETC., is
$500. Mr.. Dawson, retains his
Stationary Store and the use of the
room for one year and the privilege
OF three. He will continue to run
ltand settle up his business, col
Letting all subscriptions and ac.
counts up to July LIST. Era sub
scrlbers who have paid ahead will
receive the journal in lieu thereof.
The editor Of the Journal says his
main reason for selling cut, is that
he has too much on hand and has
confined himself so long and so
closely that he is breaking down
and needs rest. This is true, for
Bro. Dawson has been great work
er and has achieved much through
his own unaided exertions. lie is
one OF the best newspaper men in
the state and has made the Journal
the best local paper in the state and
the fraternity loses a live man, but
we believe only for a time, for we
do not think, be can remain long
out of the editorial chair. He has
several flattenng offers, but will not
accept anything else for the present.
OF the new firm, Bro. White is a
good al around newspaper man and
has had lots of experience in the
business, while Mr.. Heermans is a
graceful writer of acknowledged
ability and we wish them success in
everything but their abomniable
politics and cordially extend the
right hand Of fellowship.

WIDESPREAD INDIGNATION ALLEGED.
LONDON, March I5.-The Nei0s, comment
ing on the lynching of the Italians in New
Orleans, says: "Italy IS Indignation is shared
by the whole civilized world. In nearly all
such cases in America disease and corrup-
ton are at the root Of the evil. The Ameri-
cans are at once the most patient
and the most impatient people in
the world When they have grown tired
of any grievance they move to their re-
venge with the swifuness Of the hawk. The
people of New Orleans could have soon dis
covered which of the jUrymen in the Italian
trial had fingered the murderer's gold, and
it would be better to keep the jail intact
for them"
The Post says that Saturdays occurrence
in New Orleans will form a deploreble page
in American history.

version of the battle in Chile. From this it

opened fearful fire at close quarters. kill

estimated at 800 killed and 400 wounded.
Their account of the battle cannot be pro-
cured at present.
President Balmacedi admits the gravity
OF the disaster, which places the province
of Tarrapaca entirely in the hands Of the
insurgents. The president says, however,
that the government has 10000 troops at its

GERMANY AND OUR HOGS.
Secretary Rusk Challenges the Asser.

Secretary Rusk Challenges the A8ser-
tions Of DR.. Won Boet.icher.
WASHINGTON, March Is Secretary
Rusk said to-day that he could hardly be-
lieve that DR.. voa Boetticher, speaking in
the German Reichstag, had, as reported,
said that the American sanitary regulations
were inadequate and that the prohibition
against American hogs would there
fore not be removed. "The last meat
inspection law passed by congress-" said
Secretary Rusk, provides for the most
thorough and complete system of inspection
possible, and it will be more thorough than
that now in force in any other country in
the world. Not only will cattle and hogs be
examined Immediately prior to slaughter,
but have the power to cause post mortem
examinations to bs made, and microscopic
examination on all export hog products.
DON'T WANT To BE SATISFIED.
"If that will not satisfy the German gov
ernment it is because it purposely proposes
not to be satisfied with any system OF in
spection. This government has long and
patiently suffered the imputation placed
upon its eat products by foreign nations
TO exist under cover of just such pretexts a'
are said to have been made
time has about arrived when this unjust
discrimination or prohibition against oul
meat products and false statements as u
their purity as excuse for such prohibition
must cease. Such statements as are imputed
TO Dr. Won Boetticher will no longer be per
mitted TO go unchallenged by this govern
ment, and such redress as the laws of thi
country permit TO be had, should, in M
Judgment, be enforced"

pEMocR ATS AND TIE TARIFF.

Senator Germans Plan for the Next
Congress.
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Cor
man is credited with the statement that the
democratic policy in the next congress
touching the tariff would be to offer no
general bill, like the Mills bill for instance,
but to pass several bills through the House
of Representatives reducing duties on GER
tain articles in putting certain other articles
on the free list some OF which reductions
and repeals Of duty could be carried in the
Senate. The idea is to secure such reduc-
tions as can be passed through the Senate
and not TO GO to the country on the tariff
issue, at least until the attempt shall have
been made to reduce or repeal the duties on
certain articles of general consump ion.
