THE ISSUES
Our State Convention has been postponed to a
later date than usual, and our Republican friends
are very much distressed both about our candi-
dates and platform. They need give themselves
no uneasiness upon this score. When the Demo-
Gratis of Ohio meet In State Convention they will
nominate ticket and adopt platform that
will be indorsed by the people of this State
The Republican papers, and especially For
aker's friends, are manifesting an undue anxi-
ETY. as to the plan of the Democratic campaign
They are determined we shall fight this cam
paign on National issues, and are fearful we shall
not do what they want us TO do. But we will
devote some attention 10 State affairs and to ex
posing the scandaous transactions In the Ad-
ministration OF J. b. Foraker The Democrats of
Ohio will take no backward step ON the tariff
question We are In favor OF Tariff Reform.
The events which have transpired In the com
mercial world since the success OF the Republican
party last fall demonstrate more conclusively
than any argument that can be advanced that
protection as advocated by the Republican party
does not mean or insui business prosperity; in
deed, 1t may mar but not make It. II Is not my
purpose TO go into a discussion OF
THE TARIFF QUESTION.
But In passing can not help calling your attcn-
tlon to the fact that the men like Carnegie who
have received the greatest benefits from the high
protective tariff, and amassed colossal fortunes
are the men who are most conspicuous now IN
their efforts TO beat down the wages of the work

This is no ordinary campaign; the task con-
fronting us Is not one of mere routine. The du-
ties dcvolving on every voter, irrespective of

obvious of those duties is to rcbukc those who
have dehed the unwritten law which decrees
that no man may three times aspire TO the high

When Morrow, the jury briber, was
going through the farce of q trial at Santa
Ross, says the San Francisco Examiner,
the attorneys on both sides passed the
evenings socially together to overcome,
as far IS possible. the tediousness Of the
little town.
One evening they were all gathered in
the rooms of George R. B. Hayes, the
senior prosecuting lawyer. Some one
proposed a game of cards.

years." said Mr.. Hayes, stbut I'll begin
again if you people want to play"
So they gathered about the table with
the chips and cards, and Senator Mcclure
won the cut for deal. 1t was Hayes ante
and consequently his last say.

The gallantaetof Sir Walter Raleigh,
in spreading his cloak before Queen
Elizabeth, to save her feet from the
mud, will always be remembered as an
instance OF kniglttiv devotion. Yet
the act has its parallels, al! the more
noteworthy in that they sometimes oc-
cur when the recipient of Tie courtesy
is no queen, but u humble maiden.
The author Of "a White Umbrella in
Mexico describes such a scene.
Once | caught sight Of a ceremony
not often seen in kacatccas and rarely
met with elsewhere. In tie middle of
the street, upon their knees on the
rough stones, walked, or rather
crawled. two native Indian girls,
dressed in white. their heads bare,
their black hair streaming down their
backs, their eyes afame with excite
ment. Both clasped to their breasts
ii small crucitix. Surrounding them
were u dozen half-crazy devotees,
whose frenized cries swelled the chant
of the Youngest peuitcnt.
Suddenly from out a pulque shop
on the opposite corner darted three
men, evidently poems. With a quick
movement they divided the pressing
crowd, sprang ahead of the girls, aud,
taking their " zarapes from their
shoulders, threw themselves in turn in
in front Of the penitents.

Historic Bachelors.

There seems to be a unsnimity of SEN
timent, says the Philadelphia Press, that
whether marriage is q failure OF not,
bachelors most certainly are not. De.
Tenders and admirers Of single women
are not wanting. Their goodness and
usefulness are fully appreciated by a
large number Of people. But the poor
bachelors have no. a single advocate.
Oh, 1t is pititul:
Near a whole eitvfui,
Friends, they have none.
1 do not wish TO encourage celibacy or
disparage matrimony, but rather to speak
a few words OF defence and comfort for
the unappreciated bachelors. Some peo-
pie think to brighten men into matri-
mony by telling them that no man ever
remained q bachelor without sooner or
later regretting it. Such people forget
that grand old bachelor, ST. Paul, who
does not aeem 10 deplore his situation
when he says; 81 would that all men
were even as myself, 1t is good for
them if they abide evea as L."
We offer for the consideration of those
who regard a bachelor life as always q
failure, or wasted existence, a few prom
inent names from the past and one OF
two of the living who have honored the
bachelor state: Michael Angelo, Bishop
Ken, Isaac Watts, Topledy, Montgomery,
