Rockport, Mass, Aug. 22.-The con-
trast in the condition prevailing on
shore this morning and those of yes
.terday were most marked and those
participating. or watching the war
smaneuvers Of the navy searily today
found things favorable to the squad

ing on the New England coast, be-
tween Portland, Me-, and Province
town, Mass, while Rear Admiral Hig-
ginson and his vessels defend the
seaboard.
This morning a fog SO thick that
the water of the harbor could not be
seen from naval headquarters shroud-

| 1t was not long after sunrise that the
fog set in. It was a dense cloud i'm
penetrable to the eyes, beyond a dis
lance of ten or a dozen feet.
Defense Well Guarded.
Aside from the fact that, the Kear-
L ~ TT E mL %@Hf Z
sarge, at least, was still at anchor
off this place, little was actually
known here as to the positions CT the
various ships of Admiral Higginson's
squadron. Scouts had been reported
off Portland. The cruiser Brooklyn
skirted the end Of Cape Cod early in
the forenoon and went across to Ply
mouth. Thus both ends Of the line OF
defense we're said to be we'll guarded
and, as the naval experts here felt
reasonably sure that the Alabama

TIC SOTTOWS OI negro SuttraglStS.
The editor of The Chattanoo.
ga Times is travelling in Ohip.
and writing letters to his paper
in which he relates some of his
pertinent experiences. Among
Others he relates conversations
he has had with some represent.
alive and influential republi-
cans concerning the negro vot.
ers. He finds from their con.
fessions that the negro as
voter is no better esteemed in
Ohio than il Virginia or Mis-
sissippi, and that, "but for the
looks of the thing" Ohio would
be as glad as anybody to dis.
franchise the colored brother.
Ii seems that the negro vot.
er IN Ohio is as unsteady and
elusive as in the south. He
insists upon being taken into
account and being paid for his
-oyalty to the party that he
loves because it gave him his
freedom and his ballot. Now
that he has the latter. he wants
it to net him certain cash re-
turn every time he uses it tor
the party. And even at the
best the republican witnesses
testify that they are not al.
ways sure they get the good s!
There dre many places in
Ohio, aud elsewhere in the
north, where the white me- of
the parties are SO evenly bal.
auCed that few negro votes
will make the majority either
way Wherever that is the
case, the colored voter immedi.
ately becomes the lit" of the
situation and the party he
loves has to outbid the demo
Gratis in order to hold him to
the idol of his gratitude! All
this "demoralizes politics" and
"debauchos elections" say the
good republican brethren, and
so, according to the editor OF
The Times. they are coming tc
look with less of horror and
feeling of outrage upon the

Generally this feeling of dis
gust with the negro as d voter
will pervade all sensible circles
in the nation. He is hardest to
deal with when he knows he
has the advantage politically
and can with his ballot make
or unmake party fortunes. Il
is no wonder the Ohio brethren
are sickening of his influence in
politics ard when they gel
really sick enough to cure the
trouble in the only sensible

F0UGHTT0 A FRAGILE
And Even The Home Paper Did not Like
To Chronicle The Event.

1t is never pleasure to a
newspaper to print matter re-
tiecting on its community and
hence it is hardly necessary for
us to say that we regret to re-
cord the fact that a riot in
which clubs we're used and
violence done occurred last
Sunday just on the outskirts of
our city. A city which prides
itself on its schools and
churches can hardly be benefit
ed by having it heralded to the
world that it endorses Sunday
baseball with it's accompani.
ment of whiskey, profanity and
violence. And yet that is Just
what last Sundays perform
ance means. And it was all so
unnecessary and could have
been so easily avoided. 1t is
undoubtedly true that Monroe
City sent down a hard delega-
ton, including in it proba bly,
about thirty negroes. 1t is
probably also true that they
made a deliberate attempt to
steal the game. And yet there
was no necessity for what fol.
lowed and we think our boys
are thoroughly convinced of it
now. This whole thing is
wrong. The Herald has moth.
ing TO say against Sunday
games. If our boys had really
wanted to play ball on Sunday
and if that had been all they
wanted they could have had
quiet games at Stewart S Park
and little Oh nothing would
have Teen said against il. But
the leaders in this matter want
ed TO rub it in on the church
people, so they got up a petit
ton to the City Council and
circulated it among those who
they knew did not want to sign
it and they even had the un,
blushing etfrontery to present
this petition to our Ministers
of the Gospel. They aroused a
great deal of antagonism by
this course. This was what
they wanted, They tried to
make the City Council go on
record in favor OF Sunday base
ball, when they knew all the
time the Council would never
object if they played an order
ly game and disturbed nobody
Having worked up all this
feeling they go just outside the
city limits and rent ground and
now comes last Sundays per
formance. The rank and file o.
the boys meant no harm ano
are guiltless. But a number
have made records that viii
rise up to vex them in the flu
ture. There was no more
necessity for this than there
was for last Sundays perform
ance.-Palmyra Herald.-Th'

Catholic Picnic.

Wednesday we attended the
Catholic picnic at Stoutsville
and found it to be one of the
most perfect, complete affairs
of the kind that it was ever our
pleasure of attending. The
music which was furnished by
the Monroe City Band was
good. the stand erected for the
purpose of catering to the inner
man had plenty of fried chicken,
ice, and everything that would
tickle tire palate of an eplcure.
The dancing Pavilion was
large and evidently from the
number participating in the
terpsichorean pleasures proved
that dancing is neither a past
or lost art in Monroe County.
There were many very grace
full dancers there. In fact it
was proven that youth, beauty
and grace go together and it
may will be said that just as
truly as the State is noted for
red apples Monroe County is
noted for lovely women. From
what we learned before k aving,
financially the picnic was as
great a success as it was soc al.
ly.
The Monroe Citv ball team
went to Palmyra Sunday to
play ball and it ended IN a free
for all fight. A citizen from
Monroe City told US that it
kept the engineer busy that
evening whistling the Monroe
boys off the track all the way

some of them did not wait for
the train but walked.-Hunue-

CAPITOL BUILDING, SALEM, OREGON.
A Letter From the Executive Office Of Oregon.

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Letters of congratulation and
commentator testifying to the merits of
Pe-ru-nn as catarrh remedy are pouring
in from every State in the Union. DR..
Hartman is receiving hundreds of letters
daily All classes write these letters, from
the highest to the lowest.
The outdoor laborer, the indoor artisan,
the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the
preacher-all agree that Pe-ru-na is the
catarrh remedy of the age. The stage and
rostrum, recognizing catarrh as their great
est enemy, are especially enthusiastic in
their praise and testimony.
Any man who wishes perfect health must
be entirely free from catarrh. Catarrh is
well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent.
Pe-ru-na is the only absolute safeguard
known. A cold is the beginning of catarrh.
To prevent colds, to cure colds, is to cheat
catarrh out of its victims. Pe-ru-na not
only cures catarrh, but prevents. Every
household should be supplied with this great
remedy for coughs, colds and SO forth.
The Governor of Oregon is an ardent
admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it continu
