Starving Farmer.

Dry, hot winds in portions of the extreme

have played havoc with the crops and
farmers are reduced to eating field rodents,

Military IslamisTn,

There is about modern Mohammedan-
Ism, at least of the military type, moth
ing of the uncertainty and shillyshally
with which modern Christianity is some
times reproached. The prophet under
stood the natural man of Asiatic and
African races perfectly well, and his
mode of procedure is still fully justified
with them. He did not, like some I'M
wise fanatics, promise universal victory,
invulnerableness, or anything of the
kind. The followers of the Khalifa are
quite aware that they may be collective
ly defeated and individually killed. But
that does not interfere either with their
certainty of the ultimate success of their
cause, with their sense of the duty of
offering conversion, tribute or the sword,
or with their enjoyment of the comfort
able prospects of the martyred believer.

curIous AtnospherIe Phenomeua.

A Boston lawyer, who has returned
from trip to Maine, tells of a curious
phenomenon existing at the Livermore
falls in that state. At the foot of one of
the dams the descending water seems to
be driven back with so much force that
half way up the column of water there
is an ever moving line of water. like a
crease in piece of cloth. This has an
effect upon the surrounding atmosphere
that is almost incredibly great. The
phenomenon is not observable at all
times, but when the "wave" is visible on
the falling water objects suspended in
the air at some distance from the falls
are observed to vibrate perceptibly in a
regular movement. The vibration, while
perceptible at the time when the "wave"
can be seen, seems to stop almost in
stantly after the "wave" disappears, and
it seems almost certain that the latter
causes the former.-Boston Advertiser.

a t1ypocrite and a Sneak.

Was there ever a cheaper demagogue,
more impudeat political twister and un-
blushing fraud in Ohio politics than j.
B. Foraker? And is it possible that the
duplicity, brazen assumptions and OBJ
vious double dealing he is now practicing
can again succeed in making him Chief
Executive of our great Commonwealth?
Take this one point: He instigated and
quietly urged the passage of the Owen
Sunday Law. He forbade the Hamilton
County Senators to vote against it, and
they obeyed him. This to make him
self solid in his church in the country
districts. Then, for two years he hob
nobbed with the brewers and saloon
keepers of Cincinnati, pledging them
immunity from the operation of the law
and surreptitiously aiding theRepublican
courts here in abrogating the measure,
for which his German organs lauded
him to the skies as the champion of
Sunday beer and amusements! Now,
after two years. qualification, when the
courts refuse to longer prostitute
themselves for his benefit, he is forced
to show his hand, and out he bursts
with bombastic, raw-beef-and-bloody-
bones letter instructiRg the Mayor
to smite without mercy these Sunday
law violators led into the violation and
encouraged to resistance to the law by
Governor Foraker himself, through his
pet personal organs, the Volksblatt and
Freie Presse! And more than three.

pers of the State-all the Methodist
prints, of course, inclusive-are flaunt.
ing that letter at the head of their col.
umns as an evidence that Foraker is
pure Christian and fearless temperance
law enforcer! While the German Re.
publican papers as fanatically declare
that he opposed the Owen law-opposed
it's enforcement, and is the champion OF
open Sundays and personal liberty, de.
feated in his noble desires therefor by a
fanatical Police Court!
Nearly all his active supporters and
wire pullers in this city are connected
with the manufacture Of our traffic in
liquors, he appointing his henchmen to
office to supply them with money to
bribe, delude and debauch voters in his
interest. Meantime he is using Lamp
son and his famous letter to Mayor
Mosby as a bait for the church and crank
vote in the rural districts; and further
he is planning to deliberately betray
every liberal voter deceived by the Ger
man Republican press, George Cox, John
Legner, Otto Hof and their gang, into
supporting him and his ticket! The Re-
publican program in Ohiois to profess any
thing and everything to all classes to
gain the Governor and Legislature next
fall.-Ctncinnati Southwest.

Qhio's Gar.

In their Constitution of 1902, in their
Constitution of 1851 (now prevailing),
and in their Constitution of 1871, which
failed to be adopted, the delegates of
the people of Ohio were singularly con-
servative in restricting the powers of
their Governor.
In all they denied to him even the GUS
tomary power of forcing a two-thirds
vote on Legislative measure by his
veto. Never, in Ohio, has the signature
of the Governor been requisite to law.
1t has been the studied purpoSe of our
people to make the Gubernatorial office
q modest one.
But now we have Governor for whom
the Constitution has no terror. He SIM
ply overrides it. He is a Car. Mr..
Campbell was right in his Columbus de-
claration that the present Governor of
Ohio is most powerful autocrat that
this, or Ay other country under consti-
tutional rule, has known.
How did this come about?
1t was accomplished by working his
Legislature to deprive the people of the
right of the ballot.
They passed laws for him placing the
cities of the State in his absolute con-
trol-taking from them the right to
elect their own oficers-giving him the
power to appoint and control them for
his own political purposes.
A more shameless invasion of consti-
tutional rights has never been known in
the history of this land.
Then they swelled his salary to $4,000
year on tax-ridden community. Such
little men as Dennison, Tod, Chase,
Brough and Allen had been able to get
along with $4,000, and bad never asked
for more; but our new Gar wanted $s,-
900 and it was promptly given him.
Then to make up the deficits he asked
10 have the taxes on our farms increased.
After milking the cities he seeks to
milk the country.
1t is time to get rid of this in Ohio.
Let us go back to the people, to econ
omy in State administration, to the
neglect of the ballot, and to home rule.
That is what the Democratic platform
demands, and that is what the people
will vote for.

causes the flesh to itch, and if scratched
to swell and remain swollen for very
