Is a nar:d fight the French Je
fctroyed a Chinese fleet.
Democracy is awakening to the
fact that it has toadied to English
free trade a little too long to please
Iribhmen. later Ocean.
Sikce Butler refuses to support
Cleveland, the democrats are again
lalking about the New Orleans
spoons.
The corn cr,op in Mexico is report
ed as a failure, ar d the Mexican Miu
later at Washiugton, I has been re
quested to advertise the fact in the
American newspapers.
In the bombardment of Foo Chow
the Chinese lost 9 men of war and 12
Jurhs. T he French lost none of their
ships but a number were badly dam
aged. The French however did not
succeed in getting posessioa of the
pkce.
m m mi
The French ships of war made
short work of the Chinese fortifica
tions at Foo-chow. The const cities
of this country would all fall a prey
to foreign ships of war, should a war
take place between America and
Great Britain. The fortifications at
Boston, New York, and other ports
along the coast are no better than
those at Foo Chow, in China.
Iirssu is about to send an expedi
tion to find the open polar sea if there
le such a body of water. The party
is to consist of a 6eries of expeditions
on foot with regular supply stations
ft wiwnient distances. It is hoped
that this expedition will solve the ques
tion as to what the region of north
pole is like, whether it is ice or water.
The North Americans says : With
regard to Governor Cleveland's fa
mous discover! that the Presidency
is essentially.an executive office, and
that the opinion of its incumbent on
questions of public policy is of no
importance to the community, the
Xew York Sun makes a good point
when it quotes the clause in the Con
st'tution which directs that the Pres
ident shall from time to time recom
mend to tho consideration of Con
gress 6U"h measures as he shall judge
necessary and expedient. The Dem
ocratic candidate has taken care not
to give the public any inkling as to
the nature of the recommmendations
he would feel it hia duty to make un
der this provision.
Indian Wheat Competition.
Eugl'ind, though preaching the let
alone doctrine to the rest of the
world has not practiced it in India.
In direct violation of her favorite
theory, 6he has continually exercised
governmental interference for the en
couragement of British interests in
India, namely, the extension of rail
roads. A few years ago no one
thought much of Indian wheat as an
article cf commerce. The trade com
ocA in 1S73. when the export du-
ty ceased. Great reduction of freight
owing in a large part to government
aid to railroads, has recently occur
red. Railroads, have, gradually to
be pure, ppproached some of the
whrat growing districts. From the
following table we may judge of the
aatonishiug progress of this industry.

France and Belgium are taking a
oood deal of this wheat. It may be
come possible to land this wheat on
the Pacific coast of the United States
at a less cost than it can be produc
ed in the wheat districts of Californ
ia and Oregon. The Pacific Coast
may yet demand even a higher duty
on wheat to protect its farmers
against the labor of India. It is clear
that any quantity of wheat can be
had in India, and the only . question
is the cost of carriage to the sea
board. Every twenty miles of car
riage by bullock cart is said to add
twenty-five cents per quarter (eight
bushels) to the cost of the wheat at
the coast Bail way transportation
costs more in India than in the Uni
ted States. Time will remedy this.
but even with government aid it will
take raanv years. The United States
with 55,000,000 population, has 120,
000 miles of railwav. India, with
2,"0.000,000 population, has but 10,
0(H) miles of railroad.
ine nrst cost of raising wheat in
India is less than in the United
States, but perhaps not so much less
as represented. It has been recent
ly claimed by English authority that.
wheat can or could be thrown in the
central provinces at from eighteen to
twenty-one cents per busheL This
is denied by the Chief Commissioner
of the province, and the first cost in
districts near the railway is estimat
ed at thirty-cents a bushel or 2.80
per quarter. It is safe to assume, in
view of these facts, that wheat can
be raised in India at a primary cost
so low, and in quantities so enor
mous, that, given a moderate rate of
carriage to the coast, the Indian cul
tivator, whose help costs him but a
few cents per day, will be able to
compete in Europe with the farmer
of America or C.tnada. High rates
of carriage may at first prove an ob
stacle, but this will in the end be
overcome. The.se are, in brief, the
facts about Indian wheat competi
tion. The advocates of Free Trade- are
deducing from these fact3 that the
American firmer must soon compete
with the Indian ryot in wheat grow
ing, and that, by admitting foreign
manufactured goods into this coun
try free of duty, the American far
mer s chances for this probable com
petition will be improved. Like most
Free Trade assumptions there is
nothing in this imaginary difhger.
To begin with, 6uch a proposition is,
not likely to be met with favr by
admission into the United StaUs"
, rn :.w 'J
ducts, including wheat, for food trfl
ducts aud necessities of life coukl not
remain dutiable and manufactured
articles free. The market for 92 per
cent of the agricultural products
raised by our farmers in the Western
aud Xortthern States would thus be
open to foreign competition, and our
farmers would be li;U!e to an attack
in their strongest and most profitable
market.
On the other hand, the abandon
meut of th Protective system in
manufacturing industries would alike
afl'ect disastrously the American far
mer's interests :
First, American laborers and arti
sans and their families who now
make the manufactured goods in the
Uiiitel States purchase American
grain anbWerican provisions.
Secoufl, German, or Belgian or
British laborers aud artisans who
would, under a Free Trade system,
make the manufactured articles for
the American farmer, may, and prob-J
ably would, be supplied with this
cheaper food from Iudia and other
lands.
Third, The men thus banished
from the mine, furnace or factory in
our own country are told by the
Free Traders to seek the land ; in
other words to increase the produc
tion of wheat of which the supply is
already superabundant, and in the
production of which our farmers are
said, with some truth we have seen
to be in dunger of bsiug compelled
to compete with the cheapest labor
in the world.
The abandonment of Protection
will in no way help the farmer as the
Free Traders claim. It will stop
immigration, and hence lessen the
ever-increasing demand for food at
home, while it will leave him in a
much worse position than he now is
in the matter of Indian or Bussian
competition. Ex.
ADDIT10XJ1L LOCUS.
On last Thursday, the young folks of
Mifflin and Lewistown, held a pic -Lie and
dance at Macedonia. The day opened
pleasantly and by 12 o'clock all the parties
from both towns had arrived there, they
immediately prepared dinner, of which they
all partook at the same table. After
spending a very pleasant time demoralizing
the eatables on the table, they immediately
began to dance, which they kept up all af
ternoon, without intermission, and did not
cease until a shower of rain coming up in
the evening drove them out of the woods,
the Milflin foils took to their carriages, the
Lewistown people to their boat. Every
body was sorry .to leave ao soon. It was
the most sociable crowd that has been at
Macedonia in many years, and Lew istown
and Mifflin people treated each other as old
friends and acquaintances, and alt will be
glad to meet under similar circumstances
again. There were about fifty couples pres
ent. In olden times preachers and other
church going people carried weapons to
church to defend themselves against Indians
and outlaw white men that sometimes
wonld appear during preaching times to
disturb or break np the meeting. In this
day of professed civilization it is getting to
be a common practice for blackguards to
frequent camp meetiug places and use foul,
abusive langusge against whomsoever they
please, and if the party against whom it is
hurled does not please to take it, aud utters
a remonstrance the blackguards propose to
assault their person, and in many instances
do so. It is not proposed that preachers
and other decect well behaved church go
ing and camp meeting loving people, should
shoot the offenders against them and their
meeting, as the fathers did with the Indians
and other outlaws of oldea times, but the
murder that was committed at Newton
Hamilton demands that the blackguards
that assemble there be compelled to behave
themselves. ,
A commission in lunacy has adjudg
ed Mrs. Aon Harrison, of Conshohoo-
ken, insane. Some months ago she was
discovered in a pen with pigs quietly
sleeping.

FURTHER PROCEEDINGS.
On motion of Judge Walters, it
was resolved, "That Capt J. J. Pat
terson and Louis E. Atkinson, can
didates for Senate and Congress res
pectively, are empowered to select
their own conferees."
.rndsre Walters stated that a can
didate for District Attorney had not
been placed in nomination by the
people of the party ana mat inere
fore he would nominate John T.
Xourse, for the vacant office. Mr.
Xourse was nominated by the Judges.
Judsre Books brought the question
before the judges, "that Mr. Weiin
er, who had just been elected an Au
ditor, holds the office of Justice of
the Peace, and that under tne law
he is disbarred from holding two
offices. The chair suggested that no
action be taken on the question, that
in all probability Mr. Weimer will
put himself in communication witn
the county committee.
Judge Books offered the following
resolution, which was passed :
"Resolve, That the following amend
ments to the primary election system of the
Republican party bend is hereby submitt
ed to the republicans to be voted upon at
the next primary election. The primary
election shall be held in the boroughs of
Mifflintown, Patterson, Thompsontown and
Port Roval. between the hours of 4 o'clock
P. M. and 74 o'clock P. M. and be subject
in all other respects to the rules of the par
ty." The chair appointed W. W. Lan
dis, F. F. Rohm and Joseph S. Wea
ver, a committee to draft a series of
resolutions.

RESOLUTIONS.
We, the Republicans of Jtiniata county,
assembled in conventional Miffluitowu, tor
the purpose of nominating our Congression
al, Senatorial and Counlv ticket, heartily
endorse the conservative and patriotic pol
icy of President Arthur, under which our
government has made remarltable progress.
Reiolred, That we do hereby approve,
endorse and heartily commend the course
of our representative in Congress, Dr. Lon
is E. Atkinson, in sus taiuing by his vote
the protection ot the industries of our
country against the attack of tree trade
democracy, and in his untiring efforts to
obtain justly deserved pensions for maimed
soldiers and their widows.
Resolved, That the course of our Senator
Charles Smiley, and Representative Wil
liam C. Pomeroy receive our hearty en
dorsement and commendation for their ac
tions in the State Legislature.
Resolved, That the nomination of James
G. Blaine for President, and John A. Lo
gan lor Vice President, the champions of
honest American labor and the protectors
of the rights of native and naturalized citi
zens meet." our most cordial approbation.
and we confidently look forward to their
triumphant election.
Resolved, That we pledge our earnest and
enthusiastic snpport to the ticket this day
nominated.
Resolved, That in view of the fine attain
ments, high character and excellent milita
ry record of our nominee for Senator Cap
tain James J. Patterson, we feel warranted
in insisting upon his nomination in the dis
trict. THE NOMINEES.
Louis E. Atkinson, the nominee
for Congress was born iu Delaware
township, long enough ago to be just
entered upon the youth of old age.
He is an able lawyer, is the present
Congressman of this, the 18th con
gressional district. He served in the
army against rebellion as a surgeon,
lost the use of his lower limbs by
rheumatism while in the service of
the Republic. He is a married man
but has no children to attend him in his
prosperous career. In the past cam
paign he defeat exl Judge Pummel, a
strong democrat, and now the dm
ocracy are pu..iea who to run
agumst him to make anything like a
match political race. He starts this
time on the course without having
had a single opponent for Domination
in the district, iu the republican par
ty. He lives in this town.
Captain J. J. Patterson, the nomi
nee for Senate, is about 50 years of
age. He is of the third generation
of the family that have lived in Tus-
crrora Valley, and all people of his
native county know that he is abun
dantly qualified for the office. He
was a good soldier against rebellion.
A. collegiate education did not make
a fop of him, but so broadened his
appreciation of the calling of the far
uier, that he has engaged in Agricul
tural pursuits in his native valley.
Dr. Graham and Mr. Pomeroy are al
so representatives of substantial in
terests in Juniata and it is therefore
a hii?h compliment to the Captain
that he was chosen as the nominee
over such worthy citizens. Dr. Gra
ham entered the canvass at a late
hour, and Mr. Pomeroy while he had
nothing whatever to do with the call
ing of the extra session of the late
Legislature, was a member of that
body, that nndor the forms of law
sat for months taking pay, and dis
regarding the demands of the funda
mental law, which required that they
should pass an apportionment act,
and it is quite an important matter,
that the Senatorial Conference should
take the fact into consideration, that
Captain Patterson was heartily sup-
iorted by many Republicans because
of his pronounced views against what
is called, in the every day language
of the people, "the 6teal of tho extra
session of the Legislature."
Joseph Martin, the nominee for
Assembly, was born in Tuscarora
valley, about 40 years ago. He is a
man of positive Republican convict
ion, and positive expression. He is
a plasterer by trade. He was quite
young when rebellion broke out and
hke many an other stripling of that
day shouldered a musket, and did
service against the men who made
war that a new jovernment might
be set up, with slavery as its corner
stone. He has a sufficient stock of
energy on hand to give Mr. North,
the democratic nominee for the same
office, the liveliest Legislative race
that has taken place in Juniata, in
many years.
George W. Wilson, the nominee
for Treasurer, was born in Walker
township, about 39 years ago. He
is a young man of good business
qualifications and first rate hab
its, and is a successful mer
chant doing business in Patter
son. He wai a good soldier in the
Union army, and will make an efli
cient Treasurer.
Theodore IL Meminger, is a native
of Tuscarora valley. He is about 40
years of age. He has the reputa
tion of having been a good soldier.
He kept store at both McCulloch's
Mills and McCoytown, some years
ago. At the present time he is
engaged in agricultural pursuits.
He is qualified to discharge the du
ties of the Prothonotary's office. It
has been reported that he is not a
candidate in good faith, but that he
is simply a candidate to be used in a
combination Or$r:JL"ud that at a
certain time between his and the
November eleefiftn-be'will withdraw
in favor of a Democrat- Mr. Mem
inger denounces the report as a false
hood. Michael Coldron, one of nominees
for the office of County Commiss
ioner is about 52 Tears of Arret a. nnh-
j Btantial farmer of Walker township,
TJela
Awn ;
ITnor
Vspru
an honest man of practical everyday
business qualification, just the kind
of a citizen in whom the interests of
the county 'will be safe from danger
ous jobbery. He is a native of Ju
niata.
W. N. Sterrett, one of the nomi
nees for the office of County Cominis
siooer is a native of Tuscarora valley
where his fathers lived before him
lor the period of a century, lie -is
about 45 years of age, a man of good
sturdy habits, living an every day
life that is for the general good. It
is hard to tell how Mr. Sterrett could
do otherwise than strive to do the
best for the general good in the
Commissioners' office.
James McCauley, was born in Phil
adelphia, and was reared anion? the
honest stalwart republicans of Fayet
te township. He is in the pi i ne of life
and if he does not make a vigorous,
hard working chairman of the coun
ty committee it will be one of the
seven political wonders of Juniata
for he is a man of no common ener
gy. He lives in Milllintown. He is
au agricultural machine agent.
Charles Mayer, the Representative
delegate to the next Republican state
convention, is a native of Liicaster
county and occupies the place on the
railroad of James McXight, deceas
ed. He is a young man scarcely more
than eotured upon tho old age of
youth. He lives in Patterson.

of Germany, a polite and learned
gentleman, and a fine accountant
He is a farmer in Fayette township.
He is about 4S years of age. Mr.
Weimer his co nominee is a native of
Monroe township, he too is abund
antly qualified for the important du-
1 ies of the office of Auditor. He lives
in Richfield.
W. W. Sharon, the Senatorial del
egate, is a man f Fayette township,
where Lis people lived ytars ago.
He is pjni master at Mc.Vlisterviile
and k ep a tcmjerance house. He
is an earnest but Kcntieinanly repub
lican of about 50 years of age.
How He Got a Position.
"1 applied for a position in a baok
ig house in Wall street six months ago,
and although 1 proved my competency,
tkry would not tske me. 1 had been
down on my luck and looked old and
shabby. Ar. idea strack me 1 got up
a new growth of hair wilb Parkers Hair
Hal-mi. rai ed a decent suit of clothes,
applied again, and thy took me in a
minute." writes a clerk with SiCl'O
salary. The moral is plain. Parker's
Hair Balsam gives a person a new face.
ALABASTINE
A Superior Substitute
for Kalsomine, etc
Alnnnetineisthe.nrs'amimiprpparntion i
made from calcinpd jryusum roek, forappli-
cation to walls with a brikh, nml M fully cov-
ered by patents and perfected by many years
of experiments. It is the only perniauent
wall tinish, and admits of applying aa many
coaU as desired, one over another, to any
hard surface, without dancer of scaling, or
noticeably adding to the thickness of the
wall, which is strenbened and improved by
each additional coat, from time to time. It
is the only material for the purpose not de
pendent upon clue for its adhesiveness.
Atalastine is hardened on the wall by aire,
moisture, etc., while all kalsomines or whit
enmr preparations have inert soft chalks
and glue for their base, which are rendered
soft or scaled in a very short time.
In addition to the above advantages,
AInbastine is less exiensiv as it requires
but one-half the number of pouwU to cover
the same amount of surface wuli two runts,
is ready for use by adding water, and easily
applied by any one.
