Bro. AMBROSE, of Greeley, wants
to know if John Johnson, Republic
an candidate for representative, re-
ceives portion of the salary paid
his father by the Missouri Pacific
railroad company as attorney for
the road. Brother Ambrose con-
cludes that John receives portion
of his fathers salary because they
are both members Of the law firm Of
johnson & Johnson. We do not
know whether John gets portion
of his fathers salary not, but we
are informed, on good Republican
authority, that John gets a salary of
his own from the railroad company;
so you see he is nearer to the rail
road company than we at first sup
posed. John is a full-fedged rail-
road attorney.

The Kansas City Journal has fl
nally succumbed to the printers
union. The fight was "a bitter one,
but united labor won the day. 1t
is only by united action that the
laboring people of this country can
maintain their rights-in politics as
in business. Indeed, it is useless
for the laboring> people to try to ac-
complish anything politically until
they unite. The laborers have been
divided long enough. They have
been trying to gain their rights by
strikes and other means, but, so far,
have made slow progress. Now let
them try the efficacy of united ac-

Deaths Doings.

In the death of Mrs. Lucy Pitzer,
of Bunker Hill, the community loses
one of its most valued members.
She has been patient sufferer for a
long time, but at all timesresignedly
accepted everything as coming from
Him who doeth all things well. We
sympathize with the family, and
trust they will recognize that she
has entered life of endless joy, and
be comforted.
The death of the infant daughter
of Mr.. Raleigh Perrel is another one
of Providences mysterious ways.
But short time ago she was pre-
ceeded by ano' her child, and then
her mother. The heart-broken hus-
band and father is now alone. May
he take solace from the fact that his
loved ones are now together, never
to be dis-united.

The Ex-Secretary's Fsvoriie Son Ex-
- pjres Suddenly at Chicago.


CHICAGO, I'LL, June 20-Emmons
Blaine, second son of ex-Secretary
State James G.. Blaine, died at the
Mccormick mansion, No. l34 Rush
ST., shortly after IL o'clock Satnr-
day morning. Death was due to
blood poisoning, originating in stom-
ach trouble. Mr.. Blaine was taken
i'll immediately at the convention at

son of the Maine statesman and next
to Walker. who died suddenly just
after New Year. 1890, was his faith

lures quite strongly resemble those
of his father. He was Of ruddy com
plexion, with dark eyes and hair
prematurely gray.
The news of Mr.. Blaine's death
was very sudden. Not word as to
his illness had been received in this
city until shortly afternoon Satur
day. Then bulletin announced

almostimmediately by the announce
ment of his death.
Great sympathy is felt for ex-Sec-
rotary Blaine, upon whom the death
of this son, following so closely upon
that of Walker Blaine and his sister,
Mrs. Colonel Coppinger, falls with
unusual weight.

of Emmons Blaine's death reached
ex-Secretary Blaine at the Stanwood

greatly Frustrated by grief. Mr..
Blaine left Chicago ON the 3 o clock

parture bp the IL o'clock train Sat

GOOD VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY.

We have been requested to repub-
lish an article which appeared in the
last issue of the Statesman. cad
yancement's" ideas are good, and we
would like to see his advice fol-
lowed:
~ notice in your paper two arti-
cles in reference to the reduction OF
our corporation taxes on account of
the enhancement of our property. |,
a large taxpayer, for one, am OPP
posed to any such action. Ii our
city is growing, is it not very impor-
tant that we should have more funds
in the same ratio TO run it? The
larger our city grows, the larger
amount it will require to keep us
abreast with sister cities. What we
want is lingo administration.
"Give us a good stone crusher and
a street roller, start at the court
house square and make every prop
erty holder put down good pave
ments as you go to the city limits.
This costs the city, as whole, moth.
ing. Remember you got into power
by the skin of your teeth, and only
by the assistance of Republicans,
and if this administration is not a
progressive one, we will see that
some one else is given chance.
Give us good value for our money.
Do not macadamize streets that are
seldom used to get few votes.
This thing OF allowing US to wade
IN mud on the principal streets dur
ing the entire muddy season under
the plea that few men may have
work is perfectly preposterous, and
would not be tolerated by any live,
wide awake business council. If a
man is able to break stone on the
street he car feed or take stone from
crusher; if not able, take him
where he can be cared for. The idea
of having the business interests of
our city suffer on account of such
un business like methods is all
wrong, and should be remodeled.
Give us good streets and the best
of sidewalks. so that it will be said
that Martinsburg takes the lead in
this line of any town in the valley.
Then, and only then, will you get
citizens Of means to come among
us to reside and help put US where
we belong. No town anywhere is
any better located to- soon grow to
thirty or forty thousand inhabitants
than this, if properly handled by our
corporate authorities. Fer once,
stop talking politics, and talk and
act business. ADVANCEMENT"

B. OF L. Z. PIc-NIo.-Tha Broth
erhood of Railroad Engineers pic
niced at Elkins Park, on Tuesday
last, and the occasion was grand
success socially and financially. The
street cars ran all day and on every
trip their capacity was over-tested.
This was the opening day at Elkins
Park, and showed conclusively how
necessary it is to have park near
this city and cars running to it at
all hours. Everybody is given q
chance to spend time in the woods.
The park is not yet completed but
enough work has been done to show
that it is an excellent place for even
ing excursions and dancing parties.
