THE Legislature has adjourned unit

THE Legislature has adjourned until
next January. This wise action was
performed at noon on Monday, and
we shall be relieved of any more
tinkering with our laws for a good
eight months. However, this body of
has been loaded down with
the clog of an overwhelming Republi-
can majority, and in their deliberations
this has been disadvantage rather than
the contrary. Still, when we consider
the work done as whole the Republi-
cans have much cause for congratula-
ton. Their first act-the reelection of
John Sherman-was their greatest. Then
new congressional apportionment bill
was passed, which is equitable and just.
A law also was enacted abolishing the
boards of local school directors, but the
wisdom of this measure is yet to be de-
termined. A great many measures of
more or less Importance were enacted
into laws, but all more or less of a local
character. There were no viscious laws
enacted, which is cause of congratula-
tion. The greatest fault of the body
lay in its slowness to act, but members
of the Legislature are mortal, and all
cannot see alike. On the whole, clean
record has been made, and the Republi-
cans can 60 before the people and point
fearlessly to their discharge of the trust
imposed.

A Neat and Easy Swindle.

Here is a swindle that is being prac-
ticed over the State. A man carelessly
strolls into store and informs the pro-
prietor that he is d collector of old coins,
and hands him a list of coins of certain
dates and alleged values. He requests
the storekeeper to look out for such
coins, and to keep any he may run across.
Soon after another party strolls around,
buys cigar, and exhibits couple of coins
with the remark that they are pocket
pieces. On consulting his list the propri-
etor finds they are marked $45 each.
Here he will see an opportunity for
speculation, and after dickering, the sec
ond party sells him the pieces. Of course,
number one never shows up, and the
coins are worth no more than their face
value.

IF the Democrats in Congress had
any defined policy in their minds at the
opening of the session, which they in
tended to pursue, it has evidently long
since departed. So far not single
measure of any moment except the free
wool bill, has been enacted, nor are any
now under consideration. Of course in
case of the WOO, bill, it was only for
buncombe that it was passed, and with
the knowledge that it could never be-
come law. The session has been dill
ly-dallied away. Nothing could be done
by the Democrats for fear it would hurt
the party in the campaign, and the mon
ey of the people has been spent without
any effort to give any return in the way
of needful legislation. This fall the
people will call the dominant party to an
account.

The France Medioal rnstitute

The standing and reputation of the
above named institute in both the pro-
fessional and business world is too well
and widely known to require any expla-
nation at the present time. Drs France
& Gilman and their colleagues make a
speciality of chronic diseases and diseases
of the eye and ear, and as their success in
the treatment of these obstinate diseases
is becoming known to the citizens of
Columbus and other cities in Ohio and
adjoining States, their practice is enor
mously increased. Drs. France & Ottman
are educated physicians devoted to their
profession and fully conscious of the
great responsibilities involved in the
practice of medicine. Regarding refer
ence to patients cured, they never under
any circumstances whatever give the
names of patients to anyone, as the
majority of persons are very justly sensi-
tive on such subject. Consultation free

Trouble.

At meeting to elect local directors in
Bald Knob school district, in this town
ship, there was disagreement as to the
time the polls should close. The clerk of
the local board wanted them closed on
Eastern Standard time, seven minutes
after they had opened. Others, who were
in favor of sun time, were victorious.
A big row was kicked up and several
persons came near being hurt, as there
were firearms in the crowd. The affair
grew out of the ill-feeling existing be-
tween the Farmers Alliance and the
Farm Hands Labor Union. = Bellaire

FOR CONGRESS.

To the Republicans Of Belmont County.
You will soon be called upon to indicate your
choice for a candidate for Congress. Two years
ago, by the unanimous vote of your delegates, the
honor of leading ''forlOrn hope in district
gerrymandered so as to give Democratic majority
was conferred upon me. BuG four weeks were al
lowed to make the contest, and in that time the
Democratic majority of 1882 at the proceeding
election, was reduced to 74s, and ran ahead of
my ticket in every county in the district. The
county is now in a Republican district and my
friends think 1 ought to have an opportunity TO
carry their banner when there is a chance of sue
cess. My services to the party in the county and
in the State known to you ALL as is the manner
which discharged my duties in the two elective
positions, Auditor and Representative, conferred
upon me in thirty years of active service by your
votes. do not disguise the fact that this NOM
inatiOn. as an endorsement and approval of
services would afford Inc great pleasure, and if
received pledge my most faithful and laborious
efforts for the success of the patty and iu the dis
charge of the duties of the office in the int rest of
my constituents and my country.
