Judge Foraker, who has been renomina-
ted for governor of Ohio by the Republic
cans, was defeated two years ago by the
present Governor HoAdly. His defeat was
due to three causes. The brewers and sa-
loon men were arrayed against him by a
pledge on the part of the Democratic leaders
that the Scott law taxing their business
should be repealed. That pledge was kept
substantially though not literally. The leg
islature dared not repeal the law, but the
Democratic Supreme judges were prevailed
upon to declare unconstitutional. The
wool growers toe voted almost solidly
against the Republicans on the strength of
pledge that the tax on wool should :. b.
creased. That pledge was otz,kept. The
Prohibitionists ran an indepen dent ticket
and their strength came almost entirely from
the Republicans. This year the wool grow
ers will undoubtedly all be back in the Re-
publican ranks, and the ProhibitioRists
after seeing the temperance legislation
swept away by the Democratic judges at the
command of Democratic politicians are like
ly to take good care not to assist the Democ-
racy to remain in power, while the repeal of
the Scott law and the large loss Of revenue
to the State in consequence have produced

The Republicans of New Hampshire have
had happy deliverance from a repetition of
the senatorial contest of two years ago which
engendered great bitterness in the party,
the bad effects of which have not yet passed
away. Mr.. Blair is not an ideal senator and
some of his opponents would undoubtedly
have filled his seat with greater credit to the
State, but for one reason or another he was
the favortte of the majority and a bolt against
him for no better reason than he was not
the strongest man that the Republican party
of the Granite State afforded would have
been unjustiiable, and very likely disrupted
the party beyond repair.

The Fairfield Journal seems TO be develop
ing remarkable propensity for getting into
"scrapes." A few weeks ago it vigorously
berated prominent Democrat of this city
fer not recommending Tabulator Chase for
commissioner of internal revenue, calling
him amongst other things "Blaine Demo-
GRAFT" A week later, having discovered that
the Democrat referred to did recommend
the Tabulater it retracted all its previous nm
kind remarks and gave him a first class puff.
Last week it charged that Garcelon and his
council were befogged in the count-out by
Judge Libbey's advice. This week it takes
1t all back and says that Judge Libbey did
not advise the council. Next week we i'm
agine it will have to make room for another
retraction, for we find in it the following
paragraph:
Capt. Chase will appoint L. f. Murphy of Angus
ts to be deputy collector of revenue in place of j. L.
Stoddard it is rumored. Mr.. Murphy is gentle

manufacture small booms occasionally. The next
greatest effort of the Captains life should be to inn

The way the Democratic newspapers of
New York are treating the Prohibitionists
to strawberry lemonade, patting them on the
back and telling them what an important
part they can play in the gubernatorial con-
test, If they will only nominate ticket of
their own, is highly amusing and reminds
us forcibly of days gone by.

switzler, the new chief of the bureau of
statistics, when he assumed his Office called
the clerks around him and and made set
speech of half an hour or more, giving his
personal history, the way in which he had
risen to eminence, etc., and told them he
was going to be one of them. He didn't
want any body to knock when he came to
his door, and he intended to call on his men
at their residences and make himself gener-
ally at home. He intended to be the boss
of his bureau, but wouldn't be offensive
about 1t. He made some gallant remarks
about his female employees and wound up
with the classic remark: "That's the sort of

BELLFONT MENTIONS.

-EDIToR TINES: Seeing your re-
quest for correspondence, have con-
cluded to mention few of the numer-
Gus doings, in and near this place with
an occasional diversion tn subjects of
general interest.
The steam thresher of Deatz &
Summers has recently been thawed out,
and is now threshing at j. C.. Jones,
two miles southeast of this place. He
has probably the largest crop of wheat,
oats and barley, raised by any one farm
er in Ford county.
From what we have learned the
grain crop of Wheatland township last
year will approximate TO the following
figures: of wheat, $4,000 bushels; bar
ley, 5000; oats. 5000; corn, 1900;
and of sorghum, there is so large a
quantity that no proper estimate can
at present be given.
Several car loads of wheat have
been shipped from this station to Kan
sas City the last two weeks and more
is to follow.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Southworth
and two children, have recently return
ed from Silverton, Colorado, where they
have spent the last two years, and have
been visiting friends until few days
ago, when they occupied the house Of
o. 0. Beardsley. They have concluded
to settle permanently in this neighbor-
hood.
w. o. Southworth. brother of the
former, has returned from Montana,
where he has been engaged in business
the greater part of the last five years, is
visiting his parents, Capt. S. S. South
worth.
w. C. Seward, who bought farm
near Leon, Kansas, year ago, has
rented it to parties from Kentucky, and
will return to his old homestead, one
milo north of this place.
MIR. Melvin, brother-in-law of Mr..
and Mrs. Minus, arrived from Middle
bonough, Mass, on Friday morning,
having been detained sc hours by snow
drifts on his way. lie will make his
home at this place.

He had check where roses bloOmcd;
mouth around which dimples ran
And which all ..hand me downs consumed.
His mustache black, was silky fine:
His seeth were white and all intact
A lucky thing, and lust in line
What can we say this young man lacked:
Lacked not in tee4M or mouth, nor cheek,
Nor wits, nor form; but here he stood,
And 10. in accents soft and weak,
Petiticred fcs supply Of food.
And while the blush was rushing red,
That he must beg, or work his way
Alternative to him most dread,
Heard her those words SO cruel say.
Cleft was his heart, hut bravcly he
The food did eat-he was strong willed-
Then turned away in deep dependency,
Els heart all void, his stomach filed.

Trees.

There is much in the simple mono.
syllable trees. Trees add to the beauty
of the landscape, and furnish material
for our comfort. Why should we not
cultivate trees? Trees furnish us shade
and break the severity of the hot south
ern winds and the rigorous cold northers
Trees adorn our homes and protect us
from the scorching rays Of the sun.
Without trees we are without beauty
and without luxury. Let everybody
plant trees. Now is the time to com
mence. If you have no land of your
own encourage some one who has land
to plant trees. If you will be judiciou,
in the selection of trees you can depend
on their successful growth. Morris
Collar has several varieties of home
grown trees. These are the ones to
plant. Call and see him.

A bill has passed both Houses of the
Nebraska Legislature and is now before
the Governor. making it unlawful to
sell or give tobacco to minors under
sixteen years of age. A similar bill is.
We think, before our Legislature, only
it makes it penalty to give tobacco to
''sinor,' which would be to boys I'M
der twenty-one and girls under eighteen.
We are of the opinion that tobacco
does more injury to the individual using
it than does liquor, yet it is not pro-
ductive Of so much misery to others.

Fred Black, young man, died from
an overdose of morphine Friday night
last. He had been imbibing freely and
had taken the morphine to quiet his
nerves. The deceased has two brothers
in the city. The unfortunate ending
is sad warning. The funeral took
place on Saturday.
The statement in the Democrat that
the door of the room occupied by Fred
Black, was barricaded. is untrue. A
chair was placed against the door, to
prevent its being blown open. Black
was suffering from wounds and was in
great trouble. To alleviate his pains
he used morphine, but he ovcrdosed
himself.
