At the Higginsville, Exon
federate reunion Col. John +. Crisp,
undertook 10 say q good word for
the memory Of Abraham Lincoln,

Mr.. Campbell, the prospective
Democratic nominee for governor Of
Ohio, draws q pension on account Of
Intestinal disability; and he will be
In q condition TO ask for an increase
when Foraker gets through chasing
him.
The trusts Of the country have
found out by this time that the foes
from whom they have the most to
fear are found In the Republican
party. And the campaign Of educa-
boh VIII NV bNBiu AiA NohBiCes

The Ohio Republicans must carry
the legislature this year by such q
majority that the cOAl-Oil trust can
not elect q United States senator 10
succeed Payne, and incidentally
they will see To u that Foraker gets
at least 3O,OOO plurality.
One hundred thousand striking
labOrers paraded the streets Of Lon
don one day lately. And according
TO our map England IL q free trade
country. There IL evidently some
thing out Of gear in the variety of
free trade logic that II floating about
In this country.
Those Democrats who affect to be-
lIeve that the alleged revolt Of the
colOred voters against the Kepubli-
can party In Ohio will be numerous
enough TO turn the state over 10
Democracy might demonstrate their |
sanity by making an effort to cap

The process of examining the

Commissioner Sparks pronounced |
the claims fraudulent, but the |
claimants got the money, neverthe- |
less, and the government IL n loser |
by just 30 much.
Senator Wade Hampton can not
see that the I rotective sentiment nj |
the south II growing, because he /
thinks that the iron interests Of /
Virginia, Tennessee, and Alabama
would be advanced by lowering of
the duties, which keep their north
ern and eastern rivals In the field.
Such q reduction Of those duties
- would wipe out these northern
Industries would help the south,

OppressOrs. In many communities

there tue slightest apprehension of

southern white IL constantly Op-
pressed with the fear of negro dOmi-
nation, and ever on the alert To pre-
vent it.-Ledr' HTOrfh Times.
The senator, In his anxiety to show
that he has no unsectiOnal feeling
Of consideration for any American
industries outside the south, entirely
OveTlOOks the fact that with low
duties the foreign product would
come In and compete with the south
Itself. Great Britain pays wages
equal to only about one-haif those
paid to irOn-wOrkeTs In the north,
and makes iron twice ~ cheapiy.
The south cannot do more than that,
and labor will never be cheaper
there than now. The sOuth's real
Interests are those Of the whole
nation.
