Doth the pallid winter bring,
But for me the emerald seasons set
Withits diamond dews, the spring!

well for $780, 600 and most OF the S15O, 900

Post knowing that the wood was his
only security, obtained the restraining

the pier to tish and GRAD and disturb Ghe

sou and Bennett OF the Zion Cnapel III
regard TO the rumor.
BoJn these gentlemen said that they
had no idea how such a dmo could
have gotten abroad, as there was not a
grain OF truth IN it, and that 1t must havs
been the fabrication OF some evil minded
person inimical To them.
while IL is true tnae often noisy and

Bennett continued, they never annoyed
us either &C worship or at any other time,
otherwise we would have reported the
matter TO the police and had II stopped

The Standard Watch Company Shut
Down.

Down.
The suspension of the works of the
Standard Watch Company in Lafay-
cite is not in any way the result Of
the tariff question, though we sup
pose the Republican organs will in
dustriously labor to make it so APP
pear. 1t is a very unfortunate hap
pening. 1t will stop the circulation
of from four to five thousand dollars
weekly in that section of the city.
The consequent suffering will not fall
upon the company's employees alone.
The butchers and bakers and ultim-
ately the real estate owners will feel
the pinch, too, il the shut down lasts
any length of time.
But the explanation given by the
company's officers is altogether salts
factory as to the of the cessa-
ton. They cannot get the money to
go on. Debts are paid to them in
notes, and they can discount neither
these mol their own paper. There is
no fear of tariff changes anywhere.
Give them the cash to pay their
weekly charges, and their machinery
will whirl away and their men will be
kept busy.
This case is merely a type of hun
dreds all over the country. Tariff
Humbug! The tariff has no more to
do with the present situation than
has the fear of an earthquake or q
repetition of Noah's Flood. But the
Republican newspapers which have
been SO busy intensifying the panic
are very largely responsible.
