THE SEVENTEENTH DISTRICT.
Ohio State Journal.
Since the denomination of Col. J. D.
Taylor for Congress in the Seventeenth
district there seems to be unanimity
with his constituency on the merits of
this gentleman, who has had the inter
walls in his congressional service and
still done so well. Colonel Taylor
served few weeks in the Forty y-seyenth
Congress after the death of Dr. Upde-
graft and through the Forty-eighth Con-
gress. He then suffered an interregnum
of two years on account of the Demo-
cratic gerrymander of the State and was
returned to the Fiftieth Congress. There
is no doubt of his reelection. when he
will have had two consecutive terms.
which will enable him to make more of
a record and better serve the interests
of his constituents. He will then be in
the peculiar situation of having been a
member of four Congresses and had only
two of the terms conSecutively. Each
time Col. Taylor has gone to Congress
ne has gone as new member. The
next time he goes as an old or reelected
member, and will have more influence
in the House and the departments. In
the event of the next Congress being
Republican or change of administra-
tion, or both, Col. Taylor's advantages
will be as great as have been his disad-
vantages in the past. AS to his reGlec-
ton there is no doubt.
That Col. Taylor is good runner is
shown by the following Republican vote
of his old district for the past sixteen
g..

HOW SMALL IT IS.

Cincinnati COmmerciaI-Gazette.
Those who imagine that Mr.. Sherman
or Mr.. Blaine is in fixed fury to be
President are mistaken. 1t is true Of
both that they have been so near the
great Office and have seen how small it
is after all in some respects, and how
unsatisfactory and full of tribulations
and hardships, that its glory has for
them largely departed.

A "BICYCLE TROOP" is the latest fad
in military progress. In all seriousness,
military authorities are considering the
advisability of mounting soldiers on BIZ
cvcles, and the idea has many strong
supporters. A company of this eharac-
ter could make decided success of
wheeling into line, but what sorry fg-
ure they would cut charging across q
corn-stnbble field or through newly
cleared patch of timber.

VANDALs have been committing dep
relations at the court house, and other
vandals about the premises of residents
of town. The rear door of the court
house corridor has been forced open on
two occasions, evidently by a jimmy, and
depredations committed upon various
gardens. The presumption is that the
court house door was broken open by
some one accompanying some of the nu-
merous lewd women who tramp the
streets at night plying their avocation.
The authorities should devise some
means to protect the public from these
brazen creatures. Never before in the
history of the town have they been so
numerous nor so bold; and the effect is
plainly seen upon the youth of the town.

FACT VS.. THEORY.

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette
No more effective OF convincing answer
could have been made to the loose dec
larations of the free traders that ''the
prices of clothing are enhanced to con-
sumers to the full extent of the duty"
than was made by Mr.. Mckinley in his
admirable address on the tariff. The
President has made similar assertions in
his message, Mr.. Mills had framed his
bill in response to these declarations, and
in his speech in defense of that measure
had pictured the case of Il poor laboring
man vino had worked ten days for 81 a
day, and who, when he went to buy a
suit of clothes for SO, found that the
price was $40 The suit could have been
bought for go had not the robber manu-
facturer secured from Congress duty
of 100 per cent. on the suit.
When Mr.. Mckinley discussed this
phase of the question he denied most
emphatically the assertions Of the Presi
dent and Mr.. Mills, and affirmed that
workingmen could purchase clothing as
cheaply here as in any other country.
At this juncture Mr.. Leopold Morse, of
Boston, interjected the remark: "They
do not buy of me-" To Mr.. MoTse's
surprise, Mr.. Mckinley at once pulled
bundle from his desk and exhibited
suit of clothes, saying: "Here it is, rob
ber taxes and all, and the retail cost OF
lis Just SIC In order to be sure of the
goods, knowing the honesty and honor
of the gentleman from Massachusetts,,
the gentleman went to his store and
bought the suit l hold in my hand the
bill: y. A. Williams, bought of Leopold
Morse & Co., to one suit of all-wOol
clothes, S10.' And l never knew before
of gentleman engaged in that business
selling without a profit. This is the
very $40 suit of all-wool described by
the gentleman from Texas, which can
be bought in Boston, Chicago, New
York and other cities for $40 at retail
40 per cent cheaper than it could have
been bought in 1860, under low tariff
and low wages"
Here was fact against theory truth
instead of fiction. 1t was a repetition,
in a more effective and tangible form, of
the excellent argument of Mr.. Burrows,
of Michigan, to show that the duty had
not perceptihly raised the price of blank
cts. Here was a Democratic Represent
ative from cultured Boston, ready and
only too willing to join in the false cry
that the duty on woolen goods doubled
the price to consumers, and when con-
fronted with indisputable evidence, based
upon the certificate of the firm of which
he is a member, that the assertion is
false, he is dumb. Surely such argu-
ments ought to settle the matter in the
minds of all honest men.

CLEVELAND no longer affects any con-

He has abandoned the catchwords in his
letter accepting the nomination in 1884,
which recommended an amendment to
the Constitution disqualifying the Pres
ident for reelection. His desire is to
strengthen the ticket with a nominee
for the second place who will appeal to
the heart of the party. He discards
Black, Stevenson, Morrison, Rosecrans
and other aspirants, as if they were so
many intruders on his preserves. Every
influence has been and will be used to
persuade Thurman to accept this COM

A BRYAN, O., man was walking along
a narrow plank walk, either side of
which the mud was uncomfortably deep.
He met a hand cart containing the mail.
Either he or the cart had to go into the
mud, and it resulted in the latter being
forced from the sidewalk. The Bryan
man has since been arrested for obStruct-
ing the United States mail and has been
taken by United States Marshal to To-
ledo for hearing. If the present ad-
ministratiOn would pay more attention
to the inefficient clerks who are obstruct-
ing the mails by their gross incompetent
cy and less to the man who refused to
be crowded into the mud by a hand
cart which had no more right to the walk
than he, it would be subject to much
less ridicule and impress the people of
the country that there was some excuse
for its existence.-Cl CleoelDnd Leader.

SHERMAN AT CHICAGO.

Cincinnati Commandments.
The number of votes for John Sher-
man on the first ballot at the Chicago
Convention has been carefully estima-
ted, and will fall little, perhaps twen-
ty-live, short of three hundred.
There is no reason to think that any
of these votes viii be in haste to leave
Sherman. On the contrary, all are be-
lieved in as stickers. There will be a
small increase of votes on the second
ballot.
1t is not likely that the Convention
can be stampeded for anybody. There
has been an effort to work up Gresh-
am movement to have that result, but
that storm seems to have spent its force.
The assumption that Indiana is ripe
to run for Gresham is met by the asser-
ton that it is much more likely that Il
linois viii divide and give Cullum a
a show than that Harrison's force shall
be broken.

BRILLIANT, o., March 1.-THE annual
revival was begun at the NJ. E. Church on
Sun One year ago, when the last 1e-
viyal was held, the adherents to that doc.
trine were meeting ina school room in the
Poole building. Tbs revival proved 10 be
q hrayest, for the enlisted were quite
numerous and the increase Of forces proved
beneficial, for in a short time they con-
cluded they must have a church. So thsv
went to work and the result is, they are
holding their revival in a church, which is
an honor to themselves and a credit to the
community. We hope to he able to repeat
this in behalf Of the Disciples congregation
at the end Of the year.
