Mr. Munson is one of the best citizens of our county and Las large business inter ests at Philipsburg. His qualifications are above the material ordinarily found in the seat of an associate judge, and his nomination is a credit to the Democratic party and will add strength to our coun- ty ticket. Mp i Itis all right to talk about Blaine's foreign policy ; that only tends to divert attention from his infamous policy at home. What do the laborers here care what his feelings are toward England ? We have abundant evidence of how he feels toward us here, He is one of the heaviest stockholders in the coal and ore mines at Elk Garden, West Virginia, and within the past two years this com- pany have imported the majority of their laborers and their mines to day are filled’ with foreigners, principally Italians. This is the policy in which we are inter- ested, and if Mr. Blaine expects to get the labor vote of this country ho must do better than employ foreign talent in the works in which he is interested. iniy o that no money is wror ceptance in another column, more $100,000,000 PER ANNUM.

John gave the bov a break- fast and for so doing was promptly in- dicted under laws which John A. Logan had previously introduced and engineer ed through the Legislature. It does not appear that the indictment was vigor ously pushed, as 8t. John was of a good family and a member of the bar, It con- tains three counts, the gist of the action lying in the last, which charges the de- fendant with having given sustenance to a starving mulatto boy. The indictment clearly shows how persons connected with the “underground railroad” were brought before the bar of justice even sf- ter the anthor of the law had entered the Republican fold and when that party was in sole possession of both National and State governments and had been for two years, i Elsewhere we give many reasons ad signed by New York workingmen for their support of Mr. Cleveland.

If this happened once a week it wonld be often enough. Coming, as it does, twice or thrice, it imposes more labor and exposure than all other mili- tary duty, and year after year of it tells There are two ways of meeting this trouble ; one, by relaxing the regiments of guard duty to some extent, and one by enlarging the number of men upon whom it is imposed. Its proper perfor. manos, 80 far as security of buildings and stores is concerned, or even the re. striction of travel to certain directions does not require full aniform or even 14- pound musket. ‘To take charge of all public property in view, when nothing can be seen by the naked eye but a 20- ton gun and a cobain pump, hardly de. mands that a man should pace majesti. oally back and forth from one to the Jie other forever.
