XIIK INDItPKNDKNT V.ITEK. There is a disposition on the part of sumo of our Democratic contemporaries, who are highly elated over the recent magnificent Democratic majority, to favor a Democratic campaign in 1392 on a platform, to use a softened l’aruellism j • To sbeol with the Mugwumps.” This would be a sad 1 y mistaken and nn-Dcmocratic indlcy to pursue. "Mug wump” Is an uliav of the Indcpcudcut Voter, and it is he who d *sidos political questions. This is very clearly out lined bv Senator Caiu.isi.K in his article in tlie current number of the .Vorth Anuri' tin lierittr. which was recently synopsis!/ed iu thes' columns. There is no stauncher Democrat on the face of the earth than John l». Caklim-e, and lie says; “There is a great bodv of conservative voters in this country about equally divided between the two political parties, hut uot Iilind followers of either, and «t *« Meg «•*;> ulu.tllu A»M Ih.

While neither party can afford to abandon its principles for the pur pose of securing this vote, yet ueither can .iffonl to drive it away by the advocacy of harsh and extreme measures.” Let the Democratic party pursue the Democratic policy of legislating iu the interest of the people, taking no ac count of anything else, and continued Democratic victory is assured, lho in dependent voter gave the Democrats their victory at the last election. r«l»K OLD HO A It.

RHODE ISLAND'S MYSTERY. Hie Strange Disappearance of Prof. Ban croft. of Brown University. Providexce, R. I., December 19.—; rhe disappearance of .1. Whiting Ban •rof. Professor of English Literature ia Brown University, is getting to bean in teresting mystery. A man known to almost every man. woman and child in the city of Provi lenee vanished as completely as though | the earth had opened and swallowed him up. and the most persistent search ind inquiry reveal no trace of him. There is not a highway or a byway. « railroad route or water route leading from the city, where diligent and per- j sistent inquiry has not been made; nor is there any egress from the town through which Mr. Bancroft could pass j without meeting some person whe know him. Outside of the number of people , who would recognize him instantly, the man's personality is so striking that he . would in nine cases out of ten attract j the attention of even a strunger. His . (lowing burnside whiskers, almost snowy white, his heavy mustache, just | a tritle darker, aud his keen grey eyes are his distinguishing facial character istics. Add to this a noble carriage, j head well thrown back, a stride rather than a walk, a figure nearly, six feet iu ! height, and it seems almost incredible , that he could have escaped the n >eof | everybody. Benjamin F. Child, the Chief of Police, has exhausted all the resources j of his department. Handbills contain- , ing an accurate likeness and full de-1 script ion of the uii-sing man have been sent all over the United States. The . telegraph has been employed whenever | and wherever there appeared the re-1 uiotest possibility of discovery, and ioo ; students of Brown I niversity hav* scoured Providence aud its outskirts so j thoroughly that scarcely a shred of h:s j clothing could have remaiued undiscov ered. Xo person who knows Professor , Bancroft believes he would remain away from his home voluntarily if his | uu-utal faculties were not impair ed beyond the point of recognizing ! localities. He was retiring almost to timidity, and in constant dread lest he ! should trespass on somebody s good ■ nature or wouud somebody s feeling-. ; His domestic relation- wen* perfectly , happy, and so far as Mrs. Bancroft or ‘ her daughter knew, there was nothing that could cloud his home life. There has been no hint as yet of mur- , der, for if murder had been committed the only possible object would be rob- j bery. and eveu the few disreputable characters in Providence knew that j Mr. Bancroft never carried anything on : his person of value to tempt them to commit a serious crime. It seems in credible that a man so often seen aud recognized should disappear so com pletely. KNOCKED Ol T AGAIN. Det-lalon iu South Dakota’* Original Pack age Ca«e. Pieuue, S. 1)., December 10.—In tin; j celebrated original package case of tbe | State or South Dakota versus lieorge I H. Chapman and Wm. Koller. on a writ : of error, the Supreme Court lias reu- j dered a decision agaiu-t the defendants. This was an action where the defen- | dants were* iuformed against in the Lincoln County Court for keeping a common nuisance by selling Intoxicat ing liquors as a beverage. The Court holds that in order for the defendants to receive immunity under the decision of the Supreme Court of the i'uited States in the case of Busy v*. llordiu. commonly known as the • Original Package Case." they must show In the tirst place, that they art foreign Importers, or agents of a foreign importer of beer or liquor-; second, j that as such agents they received an ; importation of beer or liquor from an- j other State or country; third, that they . are, as such Importers or agents selling j this, importing by the original unbroken j package lu which it was imported: fourth, that they arc not making their ! house of business a tippling couceru or rendezvous of persons, bringing it with- j iu the police power of the State to de- I dare a nuisance. The Court further holds that when , bottles of whisky or beer, each sealed j up lu a paper, were boxed, and these j packages marked with the address of | the agent, the wooden boxes, and uot | the bottles, constitute the original pack age within the meaning of the decision j of the Supreme Court. TWO STOKES CLOSED. A Seuswtioual failure Yesterday iu Wilken berre. Wu.kssbarkk, Pa..

December 19.—Mr. Jusiin McCarthy, leader of the opposition to Parnell, to-day made a speech in this dty in behalf of Sir John Pope Hen nessey. the aiitl-Parnelllte candidate for the House of Commons from North Kilkenny. In the course of his speech Mr. M ’Carthy earnestly deprecated such iUm i- that whi. li recently waited iu partially disabling Mr. Parnell.

Iiaproven-.ent* Going Ou at That Point— The Timber Industry. Spectet Correspondent* of the Register. Davis. W. Va., December IS.—Situ ated at the confluence of Beaver creek and Rlaekwater. in the Canaan valley, on the mountain top. 3,100 feet above the^sen level. i< the hustling town of Davis. It is ouly about five or six years since what is now the thriving town of Davis, with a imputation of l.ooo souls, was a veritable wilderness of spruce pine and hemlock, so dense as to be almost im penetrable to man. There are already several substantial industries established here, sufficient to insure the permanency of the town. These industries are various in scope and several in number. One of Fayerwoather & Ladew’s tau ueries is here. The number of men employed by it varies with the season, from 230 to 500 or 000. More being en gaged in the bark peeling season than at any other time. So the importance of such an enterprise in a small towu is easily understood. There Is what seems to be an almost inexhaustible supply of hemlock bark in this section, to say nothing of the chestnut oak bark with in easy reach by rail. Nothing is al lowed to waste about the tannery, but what appears to lie worthless in one de partment is taken to another, put through some process or other and comes out in marketable shape. For instance the hair from the hides, the •‘fleshings,” etc., are all utilized in some way. • The Rlaekwater Room and Lumber Company’s plant here, consisting of a boom across the river, saw and planing mill, box factory, clapboard factory and a private standard guage railroad five miles long, reaching to a part of their timber, is one of the finest in the State. The sawmill cuts in eleven hours 50,000 to 60,000 feet of lumber. This Is per haps the greatest cut made by any siu gle circular saw in the State. Their box factory, saw and planing mills are all replete with modern appliances to facilitate u-ir business and its Import ance to the town can be estimated from the amount of‘ its pay rolls, which ag gregate from Ss.Ooo to S10,000 per month. This industry is one of tin* perma nent fixtures of the community. The company owns or controls about 25, 0u0 acres of timber land, literally cover ed with spruce and hemlock. Their timber resources are supposed to be of sufficient magnitude to keep their en tire plant actively engaged for at least fifteen years yet. i no ciap ooaru inuusiry uescrves especial mention, because it Is a new idea. This being the only place where they art- made. The boards are made from spruce and are used instead of patent siding or weather boarding. These meet with ready -ale in Boston, where the liner ones are shipped—the seconds being used nearer home. Throughout the different buildings occupied by this company tilings are so arranged as to be just as convenient as possible and every scrap Is utilized, either for fuel or something else. The sawdust ami shavings are burned. The '-.■ark is removed from the slabs and the remainder goes to the wood pulp mills. Odd strips are made into lath, and every available piece of wood converted into merchantable stuff. This company em ploys about 3o0 hands, all told. The Beaver Creek Lumber Company has its buildings under headway fora larg1 saw-mill of about the same ca pacity as the Blackwatcr Boom and Lumber Co.’s mill. The buildings will soon be completed, and the machinery will be placed at once. The lirm is building a standard guage railroad about eight miles in length to reach its timber fields. This road will extend to Stonoy and perhaps across the divide to Red Creek, the latter being the dividing Hue between Randolph and Tucker counties. This company owns about 10,000 acres of timber land, and is one of the im portant, permanent industries of I>;i\ is. Resides the factories already men tioned as indications of permanent pros perity, there are the immense coal and coke works. The coke is purer than that of Connellsvilie, but not quite so strong. it is now pretty well known that the road will won be extended su a? to roil nect the ore fields of Virginia with Pittsburg, and these coke works are on the line, it is proposed to use the coke in the manufacture of the cheap Vir ginia ore into iron anil steel, thus com peting with the Alabama mauufac re rs. This will necessarily revolutionize the iron and steel business of the whole country, because both can then be made cheaper than in Alabama and the otiier Southern States. There Is unquestionably a brilliant future for the country along the West Virginia Central railroad. TIIKIK OWN GRANDSON. CocfniUn i>f » School Teacher Thai lie Committed the Anna nil. Xi w< astui:. Ink., December IS.— Lincoln Uossett, a grandson of his vic tims. is in jail here for the burglary and assault upon the old couple, Asa \Y ar nock and wife, at llorney creek, last J Friday night. He had been working at El wood, when* he had become deeply involved, and, knowing that the old people had money, walked all the way to their house from El wood, a distance of forty miles, to get tho wealth, and all the way back after committing the rob bery. The old lady recognized him iu her room and told Ills father, who is a l Hi red Brethren minister, and the !att"rat once began to hunt the matter down, lie confronted the young man with the facts to-day. and he broke down and confessed all, stating that this was liis third attempt to rob the old people. The father brought him here this evening and turned him over to the au thorities. Y oung (Sosset has taught school in this county for several years, and has heretofore borne a good reputa tion.
