Politics for Personal Ad .antage.

The attempt to unduly drag national party
politics into the affairs of this city, as the TRI-
BuNE is doing, should be condemned at the
ballot box on Tuesday next. It Is Is partisan
dodge for the advancement of personal inter
buked. Democrat.
Post-elec tion politics is seldom
interesting or INSTRUCTIVE, Our ex-
cuse for quoting the foregoing from
last wesk's Democrat Is that It's in
consisting, immodesty and demagog-
ism may be rebuked
When did the Democrat ever fail
to advocate the election Of its party
nominees for city officers? or the
appointment Of any but dem ocrats
to municipal positionf That its
"personal interests" have been ad-
yanced by its "partisau lodges" "
have we not indisputable evidence,
now and for many years past2 The
astonishing thing about the Demo
Gratis above utterance is that it
should come from a mouth glued to
pap teat.

EDITOR FoGo, of the Richland

himself, nor does he prove anything
for his case by calling Mark Bar
mum, of the Wausau Torch of Lib
erty, a "poltroon and liar" There
are many besides Mark Barnum
throughout the state who have read
the history of the Rose Zoldosky
case, and wonder at the vindictive
spirit of the Republican and some
Richlaud Center people toward her,
The indecent haste with which DIR.
Mitchell rushed into print with a
protest against her pardon was a
suspicious circumstance in many
minds. That, with such violent ut

Bold Watch Robbery and 0hsr Grim
isA Matters.

Benz. Earnshaw, OF Wet1el county,
was rearrested Monday night at his
his home. and brought up TO this city.
Since Earnshaw's former arrest and
subsequent release on bail, II has been
alleged that the the bond which was
furnished was OF the straw" order.
that neither OF the men whom he offered
as sureties for his appearance, were
worth the amount OF money necessary.
In order to Insure his appearance for
trial 1t was decided by the We,zel
county authorities 10 hsve him arrested
upon another warrant County Clerk
thompson, OF New Martlnsville, made
the andavit upon which was issued
warrant charging him with the forgery
OF another OF the orders found mon his
person AT the time OF his arrest, OF the
amount OF $3.50.
The warrants were placed In the
hands OF Lieut.. Walter Terrell and on
Ger VIM. Carney, and the two boarded
Tue early morning train over the II. 4
~ Monday morning. They stopped at
burton, and then drove over to Earn
shaw, the little town where the accused
ives. Earnshaw was at home when
they arrived, aud was Immediately
placed under arrest. He offered no re-
sistance, agreeing to accompany the Of
hcers back TO Wheeling.
The trio drove over to Burton Monday
night, but missed the train aud remain
ed there until yesterday morning. The
oihcers arrived with their prisoner at
1920 o'clock. Col. w. w. Arnett. Earn
shaw's attorney, was at once sent for.
and the two held a consultation. Earn
shaw sent word to friends In New Mar
tlnsvllle, aud was detained In Chief
McNichoPs private Office until the
evening train over the Ohio River road
arrived. The men. who were expected to
TO on Earnshaw's bond, did not come up.
and he was committed to Jail to await a
hearing before Justice Gillespy at 10
O'Clock this morning. IL is believed
that the prisoner will be able TO furnish
bond Tor his appearance.
There are great many sensational
features In the case, and the people OF
Nezel county are considerably worked
up over the matter. Earnshaw's politi-
cal enemies denOunce him ia unmeas-
ured terms. while his friends profess TO
believe that he Is not nearly SO black as
he is painted.
