THE OHIO REPUBLICANS.

From the Cincinnati COmmercial-Ga
The Republican party is not lying
awake of nights worrying about the
wording of the platform to be adopted
at its next State Convention. Its policy
and control in the affairs of the State
have been safe and sound. 1t has made
no promises it has not fulfilled, but has
exceeded its promises In good works. 1t
has so reformed political methods as to
put an end to the violent deeds of mobs
and the frauds of knaves which have
disgraoed elections in the cities during
Democratic administrations. Its policy
has been economy in State expenditures,
the abolishment of thieving in public
affairs, and tightening of the burdens
of taxation. The State has been res
cued from the bankruptcy into which it
was thrown by Democratic dishonesty
and profgacy, and its financial affairs
placed on good basis. If the people
want anything within reason that they
do not happen to see as already accom-
plished, all they need to do is to ask for
it, but the Republican party is not prac-
ticing the old Democratic dodge of Civ
ing promises that it does not intend ever
to make good. 1t has faced issues bold
ly and fairly, sometimes winning, some
times losing. But it should not be forced
into undertaking impossible things, In
important elections, in which there are
many and various classes to satisfy,
there are often questions of expediency
as well as lofty purposes. There is one
plain and self evident fact which some
very worthy people are apt to overlook
while gazing starward in high resolves,
and that party to win an election in
Ohio must get quite large number of
votes

EARLY TOMATOES.

Here is a point for tomatoe raisers.
At the New York Agricultural Station
experiments made in growing tomatoes
without transplanting proved very sue
cessful. Plants grown entirely in the
open ground matured fruit in twenty
five days shorter time than those which
were cared for in the hot-bed the first
two or three months of the existence.
The result, according to the report, is
certainly striking, and suggests that the
check given to plants at the time of
may have been nearly suf-
fcient to overbalance all the time gain
ed by forcing. Expert cultivators say
tlat their earliest tomatoes come from
self-grown plants where tomatoes were
raised the previous year and some of
the fruit rotted OF the ground.

THE GREAT STORM.

New York Mail and Express, Monday.
The weather has been sufficiently un-
pleasant here for two or three days, but
as usual, We have escaped very easily in
comparison with some other parts of the
country, and our storm has been but a
faint echo of the one which has ragged
furiouSiy from tie Alleghany Mountains
in PENNSYLVANIA as far South as North
| Carolina.
Two feet of snow fell on Saturday in
some places in Pennsylvania, While the
wind blew a gale. There was heavy snow
also in West Virginia and Virginia. The
telegraph wires are down in all direc-
tiOns, and railway travel has been delay
ed throughout a belt extending from
Western New York almost to Georgia.
| The worst effects of the storm. howev-
er, as is generally the case with wind
storms, were felt on and near the coast
In Chesapeake Bay it was the worst
of the winter. On shore houses were un-
rooted, trees were blown down, and floods,
assisted by the wind, which blew land
ward, overwhelmed parts of Norfolk and
Portsmouth. The United Steamer Pen
sacola was sunk in her dry dock at the
latter place.
Off shore the effects of the gale were
probably even more damaging, although
it is too soon yet to obtain any but mea-
ger reports. At least one barge and one
schooner are know to have foundered
and it is feared that many others were
lost The steamer Old Dominion, which
arrived at Newport News yesterday, en-
countered tie gale and rode it with great
difficulty.
During large part of March we had
April weather; perhaps it is only to be
expected that during part of April we
should have March weather, but it is
none the less unpleasant on that account

'incinnati Commercial Gazette.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The retention of the Postmaster at
Rushville, Ind, through the failure of
the Senate to confirm his successor, is a
good illustration of what senatorial
courtesy" will do. Gen. Tom Browne
exhibited such changes against the in
cumbent as fully satisfied the Postmaster
General and President that he should
be promptly removed. As foreman of
a grand jury he prevented the indict-
ment of Coy, the tally-sheet fOTger, and
his course in the matter was so gross
that the rest of the jury reported it to the
Court. For this he seems to have been
made Postmaster by Mr.. Cleveland upon
the request of Indiana Senators. Presi-
dent Harrison was doubtless fully ac-
quainted with the case. Yet, when the
nomination of a successor reached the
SenatA the POSt-Of1ice Committee, of
which Senator Sawyer is Chairman, Sen
ator Voorhees, and Turpie, the two Dem
Democrats from Indiana, seeking to
save their notorious friend at Rush
NHlo, WcAI w cCu9uol SdNgCl anu dohcu
that he would not confirm President
Harrison's nomination of a successor
until the committe has investigated the
charges brought against him. This
would have been right, if the charges
had not been nOtOriOuSly true. As it
was, the Indiana Senators made use of
that most pernicious thing called the
courtesy" of the Senate, to accomplish
their unworthy purpose. Senator Saw
yer was the gentleman who thwarted
President Harrison's purpose to give the
people of RuShville new Postmaster.

THE COMING CAMPAIGN.

The Republicans of Ohio will have to
meet well organized opposition next
fall, having at his back all the money re-
quired to meet its demands. The mon
ey-bags of the Standard Oil Company are
forging to the front, and mean to use
that element for all that is in it. The
purpose is to return Senator Payne to
the Senate.
Belmont County will naturally be Sc
lected as one of the counties TO be fought
for, and it behooves Belmont County Re
publicans to prepare for a stubborn fight.
True, the County gave Harrison over 800
plurality last year, but it has made fiops
in the past that astonished its wisest and
best-informed politicians, therefore it
will not be safe to bank on the splendid
vote of last year.
The first essential to success is an ex-
ceptionally good County Ticket-a tick
ct, from top to bottom, composed of men
of known integrity and capacity for af-
fairs-a ticket which will instantly COM
mand the confidence and support of the
Republicans of the County. The party
has not always been fortunate in this re-
spect, therefore these words of warning
are timely.
The loss of the General Assembly this
year would be very great misfortune.
Not only is a United States Senator in
volved, but our election laws would be
imperilled, the control of our benevolent
and reformatory and penal institutions
changed and abused, as has invariably
been the case under Democratic manage
ment, and, possibly, serious financial mis-
management, as under the Hoadley ad-
ministration. We have on more than
one occasion differed with the Republic
an majority in the General Assembly
which will soon close its existence; but
in every essential it is greatly superior
to any so-called Democratic Legislature
Ohio has had in twenty years. Gener-
ally, the majority has been prudent and
conservative, and has manifested a pa
triotic purpose to legislate for the best
interests of the whole people of the State.
This is especially true of the House.
At the organization of the Senate, two
years ago, some of the Republican men,
bers bolted the caucus nominations and
prevented their election. The member
from this district was among the boilers,
and some feeling against him was ex-
pressed at the time, by individuals not
familiar with the methods that have long
prevailed at Columbus, but that has dis
1t is the custom, prior to the
of new Legislature, for few
about the state house to ar
range states for either branch. The Sen
ate broke the slate arranged for it. That
was about all there was of it. 1t gives
us pleasure to state that Senator Glover's
votes upon measures pending in the body
of which he is member have invariably
been upon the side of the People.
The Republicans of the County should
canvass the situation carefully. If they
do, we have confidence that their con-
elusions will be for the best interests of
-he party and of the County, and that,
when the time comes, ticket will be
made that will meet the cordial appro-
patton of the people.

PRAYER AND THA NkSGlNlNG.
OBSERVANCE OF THE CENTENNIAL OF
WASHINGTON'S INAUGURATION


RECOMMENDED.
By the President Of the United States Of
AmeTica-A Proclamation:
A hundred years have passed since
the Government which our forefathers
founded was formally organized At
noon on the Both day of April, 1889, in
the city of New York. and in the pres
ence of an aSsemblage of the heroic
men whose patriotic devotion had led
the colonies to victory and independ-
ence, George Washington took the oath
of Office as Chief Magistrate of the new
born Republic This impressive act
was preceded at 9 o'clock in the morn
ing in all the churches of the city by
prayer for Gods blessing on the Gov
ernment and its first President.
The centennial of this illustrious
event in our history has been declared
a general holiday by act of Congress, to
the end that the people of the whole
country may join in commemorative ex-
ercises appropriate to the day.
In order that the JOY of the occasion
may be associated with deep thankful
ness in the minds of the people for all
our blessings in the past, and devOut
supplication to God for their gracious
continuance in the future. the representa-
tives of the religious creedS, both Christ
ian and Hebrew, have memOrialiZed the
Government to designate an hour for
prayer and thanksgiving on that day.
Now, therefore, l, Benjamin Harri-
son, President of the United States of
America, in response to this piOus and
reasonable request, do recommend that
on Tuesday, April 30, at the hour of 9
O'Clock in the morning, the people of the
entire country repair to their respective
places of divine worship to imploIe the
favor of God that the blessings of liber-
ty, prosperity and peace may abide with
with us a as people, and that His hand
may lead us in the paths of righteous
ness and good deeds.
In witness whereof l have hereuntO
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States of America to be affixed.
Done in the City of Washington this
4th day of April A. D. 1889, and of the
Independence of the United States the
18th.
By the President:
BENJAMIN HARRISON.

ANOTHER one of President Cleve-
lan's appointees did not wait to be re.
moved, but resigned informally and the
authorities CT the Post-ofiice Depart
ment would like to know where he is.
1t was John &, Thompson, a railway
postal clerk and son of the late John c.
Thompson, during his time Democratic
leader in Ohio. The young man has
been making too free with registered
packages entrusted to his care, and,
when he found that exposure was inev
liable, took himself off and with him all
the books and papers relating to his
work. His previous reputation was
rather shady, but Judge Thurman Sc
cured him his late place in the belief
that he had reformed. The rascals are
turning themselves out.

THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
President Roberts, of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad, is reported as saying that
he does not regard the present outlook
for railroad business as very bright, and
he favors severe retrenchment in expend-
itures. 1t is to be hoped he will not be-
gin by discharging section hands, cut
ting down the wages of those retained,
and neglecting track repairs, while the
salaries of high officers are left untOuch-
ed. That is the usual way of economic
reforms in railroad management, in
which stockholders are not benefited to
an enormous extent. Railroads that are
the most sorely pinched for means often
display the most brass ornaments. High
salaried officers are retained; they go
upon frequent and costly junkets in pri-
vate cars, and keep up high grade of
official display while stockholders are
losing money, track and machinery are
going to wreck, and overworked en-
poly6s are kept out of their hard earned
wages. These, however, are not the
conditions or the methods of the Penn
sylvania road, which is probably run
more nearly in line with general bust
ness rules than any other railroad in the
country, and has the reputation of be-
ing the best managed of all.

BUSINESS PROSPECT.
incinnati Commercial Gazette.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The mild winter, which has been gen
eral, has left large stocks of coal on
hand everywhere. This means a dimin-
ished demand for coal tonnage and a
dimished demand for the products of
the mines. AS compared with the con-
sumption, there is an enormous over
production of coal, a circumstance that
no coal trust or syndicate can overcome.
Then turning to the crops, there is
another discouraging outlook. Seed
time in the great Northwest is passing,
and we read of disastrous prairie fires,
which mean, of course, dry weather
Dakota has been terribly affected in this
way, and we read of farmers in that
country sowing their seed in dust. This
is not all, nor is it the worst of it. Ev-
erywhere in the West there is call for
rain. The conditions for planting corn
are not unfavorable. 1t is easy enough
to plow, but it is not so easy to make
grain that is in the ground grow. But
in this regard farmers may live in hope.
As it is, however, the prospects are not
favorable.
The provision trade is not encourag-
ing. Packers are looking at losses rath-
er than pOcketing profits. There are no
speculative movements. The question
is reduced down to one of supply and
demand, and the latter is not up to the
former. At this time the seasons trade
could not be footed up in the aggregate
except at loss.
The effect of this runs through every
branch of business. There is every
where, on every hand and in every
branch, an over supply. This discour-
ages speculation, and in the absence of
this trade dragS. money accumulates,
and there is in all the markets plethora
of capital.
This reSults-which is Fortunate
from an oversupply. 1t is better to suf-
fer from this cause than from a scarcity.
There is scarcity of employment, but
there is plenty of bread and meat PeO-
pie may not get rich, but they need not
starve.
Under such circumstances it is not
worth while to grOwl or complain. The
earth and the mines have produced abun-
dainty, and it is only necessary to wait
patiently for the equalization of matters
for growth in the demand that will
catch up with the supply.

additional Editorial on first page.
WE again beg to remind members

WE again beg to remind members of
Congress that Postmasters of the third
class, at least, should be authorized to re-
tain a sufficient amount of box rents, say
from $500 to $500, to be used in furnish
ing their offices.
The cities are provided with extrava-
giant buildings, furnished luxuriously
with all conveniences, while third class
offices have to put up with such conve-
niences as poorly paid Postmaster can
afford to supply.
The government can afford to do this,
and the people would appreciate it more
than anything else that can be done for
the postal service.

4 DIRTY ORGAN.

The old crossroads method of journal
ism. which maliciously and recklessly and
falsely accused its antagonists of all man
ner of things which the editor was una
BILE to prove, which defended all things
done by its partisans, whether right or
wrong, and concealed the truth from its
readers, when its utterance might hurt
some of its friends, has weakened the
press in great emergencies more than all
else combined. That style of journalism
has almost disappeared, thanks to an en-
lightened public opinion and the aroused
conscience of the people; but in the Ga
zette office it prevails to an extent never
before known. In other professions such
a course as that paper pursues would drive
the individual pursuing it speedily to the
wall. At the Bar no member will risk his
professional standing by making state
ments which he knows he can not main
tain. No decent man in any calling will.
We have recently had occasion to ex-
pose and discuss abuses in the transac-
tion of public business in this town and
township. We have endeavored to per-
form that disagreeable duty in dignifed
manner. No severe words have been un-
necessarily uttered nothing purposely
written to wound the feelings of any one,
especially of persons not in any way con-
neeted with the controversy. We have
stated the frozen truth. IfWhat has been
said seems severe, it is severe because it
is true.
No attempt has been made by the ac-
cused to combat or disprove the accusa-
tions of official abuses, malfeasance and
embezzlement. On the contrary, their
newspaper organ has concealed the facts
from the people, dissembled, and malici-
ously and wickedly lied. That S all there
is about it, and all the people know it
1t will now be in order for that degraded
publication to announce that the most
blameless and useful man in st. Clairs-
ville-naming him-is thief and pick
pocket. What remedy would such per-
son have? True, he might chastise the
worthless libeler, and have the satisfac-
tion of paying fine. That S the kind
of organ the Democrats of the County
have.

THE Gazette made a serious mistake
last week. 1t conspicuously printed the
words "Three Hundred Dollars at the
head of several of its columns, as though
defying the people whom its friends have
robbed It should have added to these
words S169. The latter sum represents
the amount its Business Manager" is
charged with having pocketed from the
town scales while having charge of them.
The Gazette is entirely too modest.
