THAT political renegade. published at
Marquette and known to the afflicted as
"the mining journal, is no longer con-
tent with its seli-assumed position Of
dictator OF the politics OF Marquette
county, Republican, Democratic, Popu-
listic, Rush Culver and otherwise. but
has decided to branch out and tell the
Republicans Of Iron county what they
had better do. 1t may be unnecessary
to inform "the mining journal that the
Republicans Of Iron county have little
respect for things OF its sort and it's
opinions cut about as much ice hcrea-
way as do those OF the treacherous little
sheet that parrots its insanity in the west
end OF Iron county. Thank you, "mr.
Jim RUSSELL" the Republicans OF Iron
county need none OF your assistance in
settling their local disputes. Better

Since that time, THE DIAMOND DmLL

reality candidate for the honor and
that the people OF Houghton county, in

Our contemporary In the west end 81

the next representative OF the Dickinson
legislative district must como from
Baraga county This may be deemed
passing strange by handful OF Iron
county people, TO whom the political
anteccdents OF the Reporter are not
known. Iron county, from which the
Reporter saps a livelihood, Is part OF
the district mentioned. IL Is snid that
Iron county may be able TO secure rocog-
milton In the district convention for an
Iron county man. This fact is we'll
known to the Reporter and IL might be
expected that the Reporter, listening TO
the dictates Of common loyalty, would
lend It's assistance. however humble il
might be, TO the end on bringing about
such result. To those who have made
a study Of the Reporters editorial
policy, however, the reverse is not at all
amazing. The Reporters dictionary con
tains no such word as loyalty :"
royalty" b there but loyalty" has
been omitted, purposcly or otherwise.

The National Guards.

The annual encampment Of the National
Guard, Maryland State Militia, will probably
be held at Bellevue farm, near Frederick,
commencing Saturday, July Is. 1t would ap-
pear as if no place could have been selected
which so well meets the absolute requirements
of a military camp. High and healthy, well
sodded drilling grounds, plenty OF shade, and
fine bathing facilities in the Monocacy river,
which is close at hand, and above all plenty of
pure mountain water. The location of an en-
campment is, however, by no means the great
est essential to its success. ga well regulated
militia is the proper and natural defence Of a
free government is the language OF the con-
stitution, and every means should be taken to
elevate the standard Of the local companies.
For several years Hartford county has been
represented in the First Regiment in the per
sonnet of Company ID. This company, having
its headquarters in Bel Air and being compos-
ed of the young men of Hartford, naturally
awakens more interest in our midst than any
other part of the State Militia, but it seems as
if even that interest is waning. Instead of its
full compliment of men (sixty,) it has upon its
roster only thirty-four men and two officers.
This should not be the case. Company ID. is
and as such, is entitled to the right of the line
in all drills or parades in which the regiment
takes part. II it is to take its position in the
ranks at the July encampment, the date OF
which is only seven weeks off, it is very neces-
sary for every member OF the command to take
active steps at once to deserve their company
position in numbers, in drill and in personal
appearance. 1t must be- distinctly remem-
bered that the line officers cannot do all. Nor
can they accomplish any thing without the
prompt and cheerful assistance OF the men I'M
der them. At the drill Oh Monday night we
noticed many new faces, but the zeal and cal
nestness with which they took part in the evo-
mination to make good soldiers. The address
made by Lieut.. Rouse was an opportune and
earnest one, and should be well weighed by
the men. The inducement held out as a spur
to recruiting is certainly well worthy OF care
full consideration, and we bespeak such for it.
Hartford county has always been proud OF the
company, and We trust that there will
be no cause to make that pride ill-founded,
but that the men will labor during the few
days yet to elapse before the encampment, in
striving to render the company not the thirty
sixth, but the first in the Maryland Militia.
They can do it If they will.
Major Charles B. Mclean and Adjutant X.
c. Massenburg will be in Bel Air on Monday
evening next, June 1st, to review and inspect
the company.

The RIggeaf Fool At Large

Is the Individual who persisteptly neglects his
health and the means of preserving and restor-
ing it. Many persons who are not constitr-
tional idiots do this. They are genuine objectg
of compassion as well as censure. A failure of
appetite, loss of sleep and flesh. impaired diges-
ton, an uncertain state of the bowels and
SYMPTOMS of biliousness are so many warnings
of the approach of disease. To disregard them
is absolute folly, which offended nature in due
time Furnishes severely, if not fatally. That
genial and thoroughly reliable preventive of
bodily mischief in the shape of chronic disease,
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, will, If resorted to
in time, avert those disorders, to the removal
of which il is also fully adequate. Among these
are chronic indigestion, liver complaint, kidney
troubles, constipation, nervousness, Fhsuma'
tism and malaria.
