PENCIL POINTERS.

1t is really pitiabIe to note how anxious
ly Democratic organs scan the signs OF the
times for evidences of returning prosper
ity to the country. They take an observa-
ton hourly over the sky to see if there
is not one break somewhere in the clOnd.
They peer so deeply into the gloom that
they strain their eyes, and then mistaking
the glow from their own lurid imagin-
ings for the returning sun, they clamor
with tears in their voices at the people to
believe that nothing is wrong, that the
commercial horizon is again suffused
with the roseate hue of confidence and
hope, and that the country is just as well
off under Grover Cleveland as under
BENJAMIN Harrison in that eliminating
year of W onderfll prograss-1S92. But
the people are not to be so duped. They
are learning with bitterness the true
meaning of Democratic times. They
are retrenching their expenses, depriving
themselves of luxuries, and looking about
for provisions to store their larders
against winter which promises more
scarcity and suffering than any in the
memory of this generation. And they
are not forgetting the authors of these
deplorable conditions.
1t has been pointed out that the Re-
publicans in Congress are in a position
to secure great concession from the ad-
ministration on the tariff question. The
administration needs the votes of the
Republicans in order to carry through
the repeal of the Sherman purchase
clause, and the Republican minority is
largely in favor of repeal. But that mi
nority is not in favor of radical changes
in the tariff, and that is where the rub
comes in. If they give their votes to
repeal, and thus help the administration
out they are in position to demand
something from the administration in
return, and that demand ought to be that
the administration pledge itself to make
no radical charges in the tariff laws. To
expect that no change at all be made is
perhaps too much, but it is by no means
too much to ask that no sweeping chang
es be made, and in the present emergen-
cy it is fair to presume that such con-
cession could be secured. With it settled
that no great alteration in the tariff
would occur, business would resume with
a rush.

The only hope Democratic candidate
in this county has of election is that he
may slip in by scratch, but it will take
a great deal more than a scratch to land
any Democrats this fall. Aside from the
fatal weakness of the candidates them
selves, this is not Democratic year in
Belmont county.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1893-08-24

Democrats are the most persistent
kickers about hard times, but now one
might listen whole day to Democrat
talking and never hear word said
about this being a Democratic admins
tration. In truth, there is not a Demo
crat in the country who is willing to ad-
nit that we are living under a Demo
cratic administration.

To Depors Consumptives.

Since the great majority of the medical
fraternity Of Massachusetts have 'sccnt-
ly subscribed to the belief that consump-
tion is {; contagious disease, it has been
borne IN upon many besides those direct
ly interested in consumptive persons
through family or other ties That the
proposed work of the new Invalid Aid
society, one of the latest of Bostons
benevolent institutions, is business as
well as benz volence. A moments reflec-
tion convislces every one that if q disease
whose annual harvest in this country,
and especially il. this district. dwarfs all
the other diseases. including even the
epide1nics wherever there are such, is
communicable, as now appears. then it

Need of an International Agreement For
Their Marking or Removal.
A Washington dispatch anent the res
olution of Congressman Cummings pro-
viding for an international agreement
for the reporting, marking and removal
of derelicts in the north Atlantic ocean
says:
Secretary Carlisle, in letter to the
committee on the subject, says that the
necessity for such an agreement among
the governments concerned was empha-
bized by the international marine con-
ference held in Washington in 1889. He
believes the resolution a proper one and
recommends its passage. Accompany
ing his letter are extracts from the re-
port of the commissioner of navigation
ON the subject.
Commissioner O'Brien in his report
especially invites attention to the sub
ject of derelicts and other distractions
to navigation. He refers to it as mat
ter of International concernment and
one Of great Importance. President Mink
of the American Steamship association,
in a letter to Mr.. O'Brien, says that he
is informed that the commissioner is
making heroic efforts to get rid of dere-
licts off the Atlantic coast. He is re-
joiced at this, as the members of the as
sociation are complaining bitterly at
these unlighted and unmarked obstruc-
tions. They have been 30 frequent of
late that no captain feels easy in going
up or down the coast.
Mr.. Mallory says that precious car
goes and still more precions lives are
greatly threatened every time vessel
passes between the United States and
Europe and along the North American
coast, and they are not iiifrequently de-
stroyed. Charts have done much for the
safety of commerce by showing the posi-
tions of 332 vessels abandoned ON the high
seas and by marking the drift tracks Of
139 of them. But they have utterly
failed, and this is an alarming fact, to
show the tracks of 695 dere1icts which
have been reported. tits another alarm
ing fact that they have tracks and do
drift. They are here today, yonder to-
morrow. They are q rowing feet that
always hover upon the pathway of COM
merce. They are more dangerous than
fleet of pirates, because they are vast
ly more numerous, because they strike
even more by night than by day and be-
cause they are more merciless when they
do strike. To destroy them is the only
effective way of dealing with them.

Northfield Fair Natter

At a meeting of the directors OF the Dog
River Valley Fair Association held on he
18th day of January, 1893, careful revision
was made OF the rules, regulations, premi-
um list, purses, ETC., and such changes
made in them as would tend to increase
the interest, and benefit the patrons and
exhibitors of the fair. The HERALD AND
NEWS being always ready TO disseminate
matters OF interest and To promote public
welfare, it is assumed that it win allow a
little space for a brief mention of few
changes that will take place in our next
annual fair, which will be held Sept. 10,
20 and 81, 1893. First, all premiums award
ed in the Floral Hail will not be subject to
pro rata, but will he paid in full on the
afternoon of the last day of the fair Ma
ny OF the premiums in The above depart
ment have been increased, while in the
classes of Fine Arts and Domestic Manu-
lectures liberal sum OF money will be
appropriated, and every meritorious arti-
Gle duly entered and on exhibition will re-
ceive premium, the amount of each pre-
MUM to be fixed by competent judges.
Suffice il, that the Association will keep
abreast of the times and not be caught
mapping" in point OF liberality in any de-
partment.
In place Of two purses for colts, three
colt stakes have been made, for one, two
and three-year-old colts, that promise great
success and will be we'll worth contending
for, as the entrance fee, together with the
Society's added money, will make a much
larger purse than is usually offered at To-
cal fairs. Entry fee will be paid in INSTALL
ments, the first becoming due about Jan.
Is, the last and fourth about Sept. Is. The
program of stakes will soon be out, and
everyone interested in the development of
the youngsters will be supplied with one.
-Four liberal purses have been offered for
trotting and pacing, much larger than il
has been the custom of the Society to
hang out, and it is believed that they will
receive the entry OF every good horse with
in the limits Of the Society, and the result

lance have been made, and all for the pur-
pose of making the thousands that annu-
ally throng the Associations grounds.
