hunting and fishing district in Sutherlandshire. That is what a high tariff enables a man to do with money made off et the American people in the iron industry. The Transcontinental Railway company was incorporated at Springfield, 111., Saturday with a paid-up capital of $200,000,000, and will construct a double-track elevated railway from Chicago to Jersey City The exact route has not been decided upon, but the line will tap this citv somewhere—that is, if it is ever built. African slavery was abolished in this cotin’ry byconstitutional amendment some thirty years ago. What is now needed is another amendment designed to abolish wage slavery in Pennsylvania. It is not pleasant for American citizens outside that state to reflect upon some of the conditions which exist in the state where this republic had its nativity. A school teacher of Topeka, Kansas, hugged and kissed one of his young lady pupils. The pupil’s parents had him before the school board, but that body decided him not guilty of immoral conduct, consequently did not dismiss him. The case was appealed to the state superintendent, but that august official stated that he would not assume jurisdiction. The teacher may escape lynching. John L. Sullivan, the ex-prize tighter, is a candidate for mayor of Boston. In anncouncing his candidacy he says: ‘‘lf lam ever mayor of Boston my motto will be: “Treat

the poor right. Give the under dog a chance. Tax the man who can afford to pay. Help the women and girls who will be the mothers of the next crop of citizens. Scare the thieves. Do everything in the open.” A Warren young man who assisted in the inflation of a balloon at the fair in that place became fast to one ot the ropes and was carried up a considerable distance. The rope *as attached to the top of the balloon and the weight of the young man was turning the airship over when the aeronaut cut his parachute loose and safely descended. The ballon then capsized and the youth was hurt by bis sudden fall. Judge O’Rourke of the Allen county superior court, has rendered an important decision in relation to county treasu-er’s fees. The treasurer of Allen county brought suit to recover 25 cents each for notice to delinquent taxpayers, and 50 cents for each levy on delinquent property amounting to $1,200, and in the decision Judge O'Rourke holds that he is entitled to such fees. Other county treasures will probably demand the same fees. Look at every strike that occurs and you will see that it is com posed of foreigners, which is certainly an object lesson and demonstrates most forcibly that foreign emigration should be restricted to the lowest notch if not completely cut off. Our population is increas ing fast enough to supply all demands, and it is not right to allow a lot of the worst element of all the old countries to flock in here and get the places that of right belong to the people that are born and raised here. This is the proper way to protect the American. He was an old man living with bis son and his wife on the farm which for forty years he had tried to keep the cockle burs and jimson off of. He was 100 old to follow the plow or break colts, so said John to him: “Dad, you deed us the farm; we’ll build a room on the sunny side of the house for your own and will keep you as long as you live.” The old man signed the papers and that winter he slept in tbe haymow and got his meals away from the dog from behind the i granary. Cases like this are not so rare as we might suppose. A new counterfeit silver dollar is iin circulation. It is a nearlv exact , imitation of the original, and of silver of the same standard of fineness as the genuine, moreover it is ; five grains heavier. The only way I it can be detected is by placing it in 1 a pde or between two silverdollors, when it will be seen that it is slightly larger.—Exchange. We have a i dollar and if some kind friend will i lend us a couple of “ghnuine” ones I it will greatly aid us in determining its nature. It has been so long since we had a dollar that we are extremely anxious since reading the above to know what she am. Tbe Van Wert Bulletin says: When tbe County Fair opened last week, by some misunderstanding a company of characterless men and women were given a privilege to open a tent show on the Fair Ground. The conduct of the women in this show was a pointer to what patrons might expect. Tne officers of tbe society soon learned that they had been imposed upon, and promptly drove the vile aggregation from the ground. The artists did not leave town but went in search of congenial spirits and soon found them. It was arranged bv some of these friends of short acquaintance, for the girls to give an exhibition in a law office on Main street. More than forty patrons were obtained at 50 cents each, to see one of these women dance with all her clothes off. The mayor of Van Wert was present, and invited and urged other members of the city government to attend the dance and witness his weakness, at the same time, see tbe poor, fallen girl dance naked, because he and others gave her 50 | cents each. And the most ot this sum went to her lazy, besotted, bloated manager. In a law office! On Main street! In one of the finest blocks in Van Wert! Forty citizens present! Some of them men of prominence! The attraction, ■ a weak, fallen woman’s shame! What is to be said now, when tbe mayor sits in the temple of justice and like a vulture beckons the offi cere of his court and the young men ' of the town to such a feast of carrion, spiced with leprosy and Baclehanahan debauchery? Close the gates, fair Van Wert, and hide your head in shame! It Saves tbe Croupy Children. Seaview, Va. —We have a splendid sale on Chamberlain’s Cough
