For Senator, WhoP

The Ohio Senatorial question is just now
exciting the interest of newspaper CORES
pondents and the press generally through
out the country, and is assuming charac.
ter of almost national importance. The
Senate is to be so evenly divided, il is of
the utmost consequence that the Republi-
can party should be represented by the
best talent it can command. We owe no
debts to individuals for party services that
create an obligation for anything in the
way of official preferment that cannot be
met consistently by selecting our public
servants from among the wisest heads and
those best versed in craftsmanship that
the country can furnish. No government
or party can be successfully run on the
principle that offices must be given as re-
ward for party service, without regard to
qualifications or fitness.
The contest seems practically narrowed
down to two ndividuals-SecretaryS Sher-
man and Governor Foster Not to waste
words in preliminaries, Mr.. Sherman's
friends urge his claims ON account of
ability, craftsmanship, great experience in
public life, eminent services in responsible
positions, that have given him national
reputation as one of the ablest financiers
the country ever produced-services such
as made him the first choice for President
of large number of the most influential
men of the nation, and the second choice
of a still larger number, who still think
that the country cannot afford to lose the
benefit of his knowledge and experience
in her national councils. 1t will be re-
membered that he has practically con-
trolled our finances through one of the
most critical periods in our history, and in
opposition to the most determined efforts
of the Democratic party and large minor
ity of the Republicans as well, he has
brought them to successful issue.
On the other hand, Governor Foster is
urged for his personal qualities, his genial,
warm-hearted nature, that makes friends
of all his associates, his skill as politi-
cian-his efforts having contributed largely
to Republican success in the two last cam
paigns 1t is finally urged that the party
and the politicians are under great obli-
cations to him for success and for their
positions, and he should, therefore, be re-
while on the other hand Sherman
is said to be cold and selfish, has long
been in Office, and has already been suffi-
ciently rewarded.
We think we have fairly given the rea-
sons urged in favor of either candidate.
And now, as our paper is more than full,
do we need to say mores Are not the rea-
sons Overwhelmingly in favor of sending
Mr.. Sherman TO the Senate: We would
gladly pursue this subject further, as We
have hardly begun to indicate the supreme
We feel it to be to the State
and nation that Mr.. Sherman should re-
ceive hearty support from the Republi-
cans of Ohio.

Will Education Yield Subsistence.

An education, yes; but what sort OF
an educationf A bricklayer's educa-
ton, an artisans, farmers, would in
deed help him to earn living. A coll
lege education would give him a
social advantage, but it would not, In
itself, increase his chance of earning a
living: it would rather diminish it.
The American colleges are, institutions
for general culture. do not take up
the question here of the amount and
value OF the cultIre they supply. The
point for us to note is that the educated
young American who has not a special
education as a bread-winner Is worse
OF, as to his money prospects,
than the young American who has no
college education ut all. Dig he can
not, and to beg he is ashamed. Two
of the professions at least are fatally
overcrowdeI. The United States, with
population not greatly larger than
that Of the German Empire, graduates
every year five times as many physi-
clans; for the German Empire limits
the number of its doctors. and we do
not limit that of ours. Very many of
our physicians not only wait years for
practice, but never get into practice at
all. 1t Is much the same with the pro-
iession of law. In both professions
there are prizes for few, and failures,
more or less complete, for the many.
The engineering, mining, and other
scientific professions offer a somewhat
better chance, and public life, almost
neglected as profession, win attract a
better class of young men from year to
year. But upon none of these, save in
favored and exceptional cases, as where
a son succeeds to his fathers practice,
Can young man depend for fortune,
or even for Immediate support. They,
too, offer a Gel tain social dignity. Eut
as rule it Is the laborer, artisan, or
tradesmau that has the better chance of
supporting himself; it is the educated
man that has. more frequently, to wait
before he can pay his way.-T. NJ. Coan,
in Harper's Magazine for November.

THr fraud crv has suddenlv collanse

The fraud cry has suddenly collapsed
since the Republican managers pro-
posed to promptly arrest and prosecute
any pereous against whom the Demo-
cratic committee would furnish evil
dence of guilt. Not a single complaint
was made nor the slightest effort to
prove the truth of their charges. Evi-
dence of finsincerity and that their COM
plants were made to divert attention
from their own rascalities and to cover
the chagrin of defeat could not be more
conclusive. Il is one Of the unaccount-
able things that party whose chief re-
lance for success for years past has
been crime and fraud, should suddenly
seem transformed into apostles Of
righteousness. The conversion how
ever has been entirely too radical and
sudden not to excite suspicion Of its
genuineness..

SmOthered In Their Beds.

A Geneva correspondent of the Lon
don Times writes as follows: A strange
occurrence happened a few days ago at
St. Cierge, village in the Jura. The
principal room Of an auberge, there
known as the Cert, was lighted by a
hanging petroleum lamp, above which
had been placed, for the protection of
the ceiling, metal plate. In course of
time the woodwork above the plate be-
came dessicated, and one evening re-
Gently it took fire, and when the inn
keeper and his family retired to rest,
was all aglow-a fact, however, which
they do not seem to have noticed. From
the ceiling the fire was communicated to
the room above, and was first discov-
cred by q neighbor, who, carly next
morning, observing smoke issuing from
the auberge door, gave an arm, when,
as none of the inmates could be reused,
the door was broken open. The fire,
having gone on smoldering without
bursting into flames, had done little
material damage, and was easily ex-
tinguisIled; but all the people in the
house-tlIe aubergiste, his wife and
sister-were dead. After the manner of
people who have often a horl or of fresh
air, they had firmly closed their win
dows before going to bed, and the smoke
having no exit, had asphyxiated every
ne of them.

Panama Hats.

The Jipijapa, or Panama hats, say
the Journal of Botany, are principally
manufactured in Veraquas and Western
Panama. Not all, however, known in
commerce by that name are plated in
the IstLmus; by far a greater proper
tion being made in Manta, Monte
Christi, and other parts of Ecuador. The
hats are worn almost in the whole
American continent and the West In
dies, and would probably be equally
used in Europe did not their high price
(varying from 50 to Sl5O) prevent their
importation. They are distinguished
from all others by consisting only Of a
single piece, and by their lightness and
fexibility. They may be rolled up and
put into the pocket without injury. In
the rainy season they are apt to get
black; but by washing with soap and
water. besmearing them with lime juice,
or any other acid, and exposing them to
the sun, their whiteness Is easily re-
stored. So little is known about these
hats, that it may not be out of place to
give an account of their manufacture.
The "straw" (paja), previous to
plating, has to undergo several pro-
cesses. The leaves arc gathered before
they unfold; all the ribs and coarser
veins removed. and the rest, without
being separated from the base of the
leaf is reduced to shreds. After having
been exposed to the sun for day, and
tied into a knot, the straw is immersed
into boiling water until it becomes
white. 1t is then hung up in shady
place, and subsequently bleached for
two or three days. The straw is now
ready for use, and in this state, sent to
different places, especially to Peru,
where the Indians manufacture from it
those beautiful cigar cases, which some
times bring as high as 800 each. The
plating OF the hats is very troublesome.
It commences at the crown ard finishes
at the brim. The hats are made on a
block, which is placed upon the knees.
and requires to be constantly pressed
with the breast. According to their
quality, more or less time is occupied in
their completion - the coarser ones
may be finished in two or three
days, while the finest may take
as many months. The best times
for plating are the morning hours and
the rainy season, when the air is moist.
In the middle of the day and in dry
clear weather, the straw is apt TO break,
and this, when the It is finished, is be-
trayed by knots, and much diminishes
the value.

Gold In Newspapers,

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Call writes of the discovery of small
flakes of gold on the surface of the paper
upon which it is printed. He says: /
had observed, previous to last February,
that the. Call often contained golden
nuggets. but from the sixth of that
month to the end it was rare to have a
number withoutits golden show. From
the paper of the sixth I took ifty-six
pieces of gold, the thickness Of the Call,
and varying in size from that of small
pin-head 10 nearly the size of three
cent piece. think have more than q
hundred pieces of gold taken from the
paper that month. All left hole when
removed, as the thin film OF paper on
the inside was rendered brittle by the
hard pressure when the calender rolls
gave as they fattened out the golden
deposits. In addition to the gold got
platinum, silver, iron, tin and some
lead" The explanation OF the discov-
cry is, says the Call, that in the manu-.
facture OF the paper pulp water is used
that has been passed through q fume
in which miners have washed dirt con-
tanning all kinds of precious metals.
The gold is what is known as "foat
gold" and escapes the miners who still
follow the primitive methods of wash.
ing. Some of the water used is taken
from artesinn wells. The manufacturers
say that they have often noticed sub.
stance that glistened in the water, but
that they supposed it to be mica, as the
wells were bored through mica de-
posits.

The lightning Flash.

The same stroke of lightning that
killed Mrs. George Williams, of Will
Jamestown, Va, burned up two barns
with alarge flock OF turkeys and alot OF
swine.
In King George county, Va, William
Scott, aged twenty -one years, and Daniel
Scott, aged fifteen years, both colored,
were recently instantly killed by light
ming.
Just after leaving the harvest field
near Dayton, Ohio, two boys named
Hovey and Smith were struck by light
ming and killed. They had taken shelter
under tree.
While tying his horse to a telegraph
pole, in Carpe, Ontario, to seek shelter
from the rain, o boy named Sproule,
fourteen years of age, was struck by
lightning and instantly killed.
Albert Robley, of Carrollton, ILL.,, was
almost home, but concluded to stop
under tree near by until the shower
was over. A fash of lightning ended
his career moment aiterward.
When lightning visited Independence
Iowa, it, struck q COW belonging to
Charles Leslie, which was standing near 8
wire fence, killed her, then straddled the
wire, and followed it for half mile,
spintering every post.
After a storm at Louisville, KY, the
bodies of William Prinz, Alfred Jones
and John Ball, all colored farm hands
of E. G.. Miners, were found in field
near tree under which they had sought
shelter, killed by lightning.
In Hartford county, Nd, lightning
struck large tree on the farm OF Mrs
McC cCormick and split it into kindlins
wood. 1t knocked the child of Peter G.
Hermann, a near neighbor, out OF s
chair, and gsve the mother shock a.
if from giant galvanic battery, but ne
one was killed.
