Parkersburg Sentinel: at is with
in the power of congress to relieve
the country of present distress, and
distribute SIZE, OOO, 900 within TWEEN
ty-four hours after it assemblies on
August 9TH, if common sense bust
ness methods be adopted
alt can be done by the passage OF
a bill, which can easily be aceomp-
lished the first day, authorizing the
treasury to issue to the national
banks at once the 10 per cent. OF
circulation now withheld from them.
The greatest advantage of such a
law would lay in the fact that the
money so issued would instantly
reach every city. town and village
in which a national bank is located.
1t would go into instant circulation
to the people. Relief being thus
afforded congress could enter upon
the weighty tariff and silver quest
ions"

The persistent attempts of the
Gazette to teach its readers to be-
lieve that the Democratic party is
responsible for the duIlness of trade,
the scarcity of money, the breaking
of banks and the unsettled condition
of business throughout the country,
shows a lack of decency that de-
serves the severest criticism. Our
fair neighbor is well enough posted
to know that the Sherman law and
the high tariff laws passed by a
Republican Congress and approved
by a Republican President, are the
great cause of the financial troubles
now existing If the Gazette was
honest in what it says, and could
rise above demagogy, it would say
TO its readers that the laws of which
the people complain are all of Re-
publican origin, and that the Demo-
Gratis have had no meeting of Con-
gross by which these unjust and
unfair laws could be repealed or
modified. Congress will meet on
the 9TH inst, and as both the Sen
ate and House, and the Presidency,
are in Democratic hands, the people
may look to them aud expect ready
relief in the repeal of all bad laws
enacted by the Republicans. If the
Democratic party fails in its duty
to the people then the Gazette will
have a right to complain of the
party, but not until then. People
Conformation will place no credence
in the utterances of the Gazette, as
these articles are prompted by a
desire to play upon the fears of the
ignorant to gain a little political
capital for its party. Lying and
base misrepresentation of facts will
accomplish no good results, but in
time will recoiI back upon the
head of the author, to trouble and
annoy.

Golden words of Truth.

Speaker Crisp says; eve enjoy
much freedom to which the people
of other lands are strangers, but we
do not enjoy all that the govern
ment should allow us. If there are
thousands of unemployed workmen
in our land; if the agricultural in
terests languish; if trade aud COM
merce are restricted; if there is a
lack of confidence in financial cir
cles, so far as human laws are re-
sponsible you can charge it to the
Republican party. There are laws
on our statute books to-day which
are a restriction to trade. They
are Republican laws. There are
laws which have destroyed the
peoples confidence and have upset
the finances. They are Republican
laws. The Democracy's represen-
tatives in Congress must unani-
mously vote against the passage OF
those laws To-day great Demo-
crat is our Chief Executive. Bust
ness distresses and uncertainty have
prompted that great Democrat to
call together Congress. And 1
confidently hope, 1 honestly believe,
so far as the effects of its legislation
is concerned, that Congress will
pass such laws as will restore popu-
lar confidence and enlarge the
opportunities for the extension OF
trade and commerce"

A dispatch from Chicago, under
date of July 2Sth, to the Wheeling
Register says: "Dr. T. P. Carpen-
ter, of Poca, W. Va, told Judge
Clifford and a jury this morning
how he was robbed of $500 worth of
by three men named Peter
son, Cunning and Walker, the lat
ter having been friend of his. At
Poca, June 9, he met Walker, who
was accompanied by the other two
men. They wanted beer, and he
gave them twenty cents to get it.
DR.. Carpenter fell asleep, and when
he awoke, the men and his jewelry
were gone. After DIR. Carpenter
told his story, Walker pleaded gull
ty, and said he and his companions
took the jewelry and divided it up.
The other men refused to plead
guilty, the case was not finished"

LAW BREAKING BY FISHERMEN.
Collector Mt Cleveland Is Going to Put a
Ston In If

CLEVELAND, Aug. 1.-The United
States revenue steamer Perry. lying at
Erie, has been ordered to report to Col
Iector of Customs Gary at this port i'm
mediately. The collector is very much
in earnest and he intends to see to it
that the fishermen within thelimits of his
district pay three-fourths of a cent per
pound on all fish caught in Canadian
waters. He is no longer in doubt as to
what to do. "A letter from the secre-
tary of the treasury makes his course
very plain.
Many fishermen in this district, it is
thought, have of late shown a DISPOSE
ton to ignore the authority of the
United States as vested in Collector
Gary. Within the last few days they
have left for their fishing grounds and
returned with their fish, paving not the
least attention to the customhouse.
They have not taken out clearance
papers and have made no report of their
cargoes. They have explained their
action by claiming that they only went
as far as the boundary line and were
therefore still within this district It
is claimed that the fishermen in assert
ing that they do not fish in Canadian
waters virtually admit that they
are defyipg the laws of Ohio, as fishing
III the lake at this season of the year is
forbidden. The revenue cutter will
keep close watch over the fishermen,
and whoever is found eyading the law
will experience much difficulty in es-
Gaping severe punishment.

The Evening Netcs, of Washing
ton, d. c., says that Capt. ]. J. S.
Hassler, of West Virginia, the eff
ficient chief clerk of the Interior
Department, takes as naturally to
his new duties as a duck to water.
He got an inkling with regard to
them during his four years service
across the hall in the capacity of
appointment clerk, SO that he lost
very little time in making himself
familiar with the details of his work.
He is never too busy to be polite.
1t is seldom that he is idle in his
Office. He is one of the most sought
after of all the officials in the De-
partment, and if a favor is desired
by tho clerks they usually go first
to Capt. Hassler, confident of at
least being received kindly. The
Captain is always in a good humor,
and has lost none of his old time
popularity in the Department dur
ing his enforced absence of the last
four years.
