The Democratic party several
years ago declared against injunc.
tons and warned the people Of this
country that the trusts and corpora
tions would take advantage Of the
injunction business and push il to
extremes just as they have done.
But the people paid no attention to
it and thought il some kind Of
campaign rot. However, they are
fast finding out especially the work
ing people, who get the full force
Of IT, while the corporations escape.

The Republicans are already
backing out on a series of joint dis.
cussions between Dawson and Corn
well, the Republican and Demo.
cratic candidates for Governor Of
this State. The Intelligencer de-
clares that no good ever comes of
such discussions and that no con
verts are made, but that bad feeling
is engendered and more harm than
good accomplished, etc. This may all
be true, but the Intelligencer would
never have discovered it had it not
known that Mr.. Dawson was no
match for Mr.. Cornwell as an ora
tor and speaker.

Some of the Republican papers
that do not know what they are
talking about, are inclined to ridi-
Guile the "mimlc war;" as they call
1t, down at Bull Run, and to claim
that it did no good and was a waste
of money, but we know better, and
we assert that the ten days ma
MOWERS and sham battles there did
the troops and National Guard more
real good than dozen State camps.
1t was hard on the men, but they
were up against the real thing Just
as near as it could possibly be made
without killing a lot of people. We
know what we are talking about,
because we have been in the State
camps and were in the midst of the
fray at Bull Run as an officer in the
Guards, and got all that was com
ing to US, which was plenty.

The Republican campaign book
discusses the "tariffs of other coun-
tues"-.how Germany, France, Italy,
AustIia-Hungray, Russia, Spain,
etc, have settled down to the good
old time policy of protection, very
low wages and extreme poverty in
these countries as compared with
England or Australia or Canada,
in which countries tariff duties are
comparatively low. Strange to say
the wages appear to decline and
poverty to increase as tariff walls
become higher. Russia probably
has higher tariff wall than any
other European country Her
wages are about the lowest and the
poverty and degradation Of her
citizens the greatest Of any country
in Europe. If tariff taxation brings
prosperity, she should now be a
land Of plenty.

or said that has been of any use to
the country, and why, therefore,
should the voters elect him to the

He may be "sane and SAFE" but he
has never shown a vestige of ability

thinks that because the Republican

with thinking that al the Demo.

-Four negresses recently attacked
Seron Young, a farmer at Washing.
ton, n. J., and beat him SO severely
over the head with their pals that
he became unconscious. The wo.
men then fed and so far they have
not been arrested. The man was
cut in several places aboGt the head
and face, but it is not thought his
wounds will prove fatal. The
negresses entered Young's peach
orchard and were discovered by
HIM filling their pals with his
peaches. He ordered them out of
his orchard, but they refused to 20,
and, it is said, he started to eject
them. They resisted this and turned
on Young. lie fought them off for
a while, but weak from the loss of
blood, he fell TO the ground. lie was
found some time later by members
OF the household and is now under
the care Of physicians.

All the Cabinet officers have lett
Washington and the work of the de-
partments seems to run along Just
as well as if they were present.
Cabinet officers appear to be only
useful for about sixty days when a

any better service on the stump
than Shaw and Wilson, their services
could be dispensed with altogether
to the advantage of the Republican

mines and furnaces were in active
operation, unable to supply the de
mand, but now many are closed,
and those that are open are being
operated with reduced force on short

scarce and there was work for all.
Now work is scarce, many wage
earners unemployed and wages re-

Several colonies of Iowa people have
already been planted in the island, and
1t Is expected that If the island remains
the possession of the government at
Washington, hundreds of Iowa people
will get land there and engage in bust
ness The treaty which proposes to re-
linquish to Cuba all sovereignty over the
island is therefore of great interest in
that state.
The settlers on the Isle of Pines from
Iowa are from Spencer, Fairfield, Of
tumwa, Creston and elsewhere. A year
ago 1t was reported that there were 40
families of Iowans, in all about $50 per-
sons from that state. Since then many
other families have settled on the island,
and there are probably 200 Iowa people
there In February last there was or
ganized at Fairfield company in which
a number of the leading business men
were interested to develop plantation
and build a town in the Isle of Pines.

have gone there to reside permanently

These Americans are said to own in

TOWN AND COUNTY NEWS.

Judge Henson held special term OF
the Circuit Court at this place on last
Thursday for the purpose Of passing upon
applications for liquor license at Pocahon'
tas. He granted license to fourteen APP
pcants, the applicants having been
recommended for license by the town
council of Pocahontas as required by the
charter of that town.
Buston & sons and SPOTS Bros. have
agreed with their delivery men that no
orders received after O'Clock p. m. shall
be filed on the day they are received.
This is proper and will relieve the deliy'
cry boys from the heavy burden that
thoughtless persons have been imposing
on them. Persons should remember to
give their orders before the hour desig-
naled.
1t is reported that an extract plant is to
be located at Richands in the near future
and that other industrial enterprises are
in contemplation for that town. 1t looks
like Richlands is to recover from the i'll
effects of the collapsed boom which visited
that place some twelve or fourteen years
ago. There is no doubt but that the de-
veopment Of the coal field near there will
add greatly to the business interests Of the
town. A number of coke ovens are Tow
being built by General Ayers aud hls as
sociates, coal tipple is being built on
Town Hill and another on Big Greek.
Altogether the outlook for Richlands is
very promising.
