The Convention and its Nominees.
THE Democrats of Ohio are well |
pleased with the work accomplished
at Springfield last week. A ticket
was nominated that not only suits the
Democrats, but recommends itself to
the people of the entire State. Our
candidates are all strong, able men,
who were nominated on platform
that meets the evils of Republican
misrule in square issue. That Ohio
is put down in the column of Repub-
lican States need not discourage US,
for when the allied forces of monied
power array themselves with the Re-
publican party against the wage work.
ers and people at large and attempt to
perpetuate class tariff legislation for
which there is no shadow of justifica.
tion, they and the party that upholds
them will be repudiated and buried
out of sight by an outraged public.
Again, each day records broader
awakening of the people of Ohio to the
dangers ,of the proposed iniquitous
federal election or force bill, which as
last resort the unprincipled Republi-
can leaders propose to make use of to
perpetuate themselves in power, and
consequently forever burden the peo-
pie with war tariff. By the time the
voters of Ohio are ready for action, the
enormity of this proposed outrage will
be seen in all its reality and the Dem
ocratic party. that stands as barrier
between the people and legislation o
this character, will be appreciated ant
supported as the great party of th'
people and its ticket triumphant.
elected. Republican rapacity will de
feat itself and ultimately result in tn
disintegration of the corrupt organi
zation that goes by the name of Re
publican party. Let every Democra
awaken to the magnitude of the issue
at stake and we have no fears for tn
result.

Her +" Bad Break"

A pretty little German lady who is not yet
thoroughly conversant with the English Ian
guage and its peculiar idioms goes out in
west side society good deal, and her only
source of uneasiness is that in conversation
she will make what is popularity termed "a
bad break" Her mother accompanies her
wherever she goes, and when they return
from party or tea they sit up together for
an hour or more, while the little lady ques-
tions her mother as to whether she has made
any ludicrous slip of the tongue during the
evening. She usually gets along pretty well,
but one evening not long ago she attended a
private party with her mother During a
chat the proposed marriage of young Amer
lean girl to German baron was discussed
The little German lady did not believe in
marriages except between social equals, but
she expressed herself naively in this way: 81
believe that to gain true happiness girl
should marry one of her own SEX" And she
did not know why the young man with the
blonde pompadour fell off of the piano stool
at this juncture until she reached home and
her mother told her that she had used the
word 'sex" instead of ''station. "-Chicago

Look Out for the Small Pocket.

The little change pocket in the overcoat is an
exceedingly handy contrivance of the tailor
but it is an aperture to be watched. The
mendicant who shambles alongside of a pedes-
trian in the evening can hold out one hand
for aims and readily empty the change pocket
with the other if he is an adept in the bust
uess The other day a young man entered a
down town barber shop and as the brush boy
removed his overcoat he remembered that
there was ST. rs in silver in the change pocket.
However, he thought it would be safe and he
had his shave. When he put on his coat
again he felt for the money. 1t was gone
He complained to the boss. The brush boy
had gone out for lunch and the boss said he
was as honest as the day. He thought the
customer had been mistaken. Maybe he was,
but he will take care that it does not occur
again.
At one of the leading clubs the other night
guest checked his coat and went up to din
ner. When he started away he felt in the
overcoat change pocket for the quarter he
had placed there to fee the coat room boy,
but the said boy had saved him the trouble
by appropriating the money while the man
was at dinner. He had also nipped half of
the mans cigarettes. The overcoat change
pocket is handy when the owner wears the
coat, but as stated before, it is an aperture
to be watched closely.-Chicago Herald.

What Is the Tax For?

The Republican papers are experienc.
ing considerable satisfaction over what
they are pleased to call the success OF
protection in Germany, as a proof OF
which they point to the activity of the
iron trade in that empire.
The main reason for this activity, it is
true, is to be found in the orders for iron
proceeding from the government itself,
circumstance which somehow usually
escapes the notice of our protectionist
friends, as does also the fact that i'm
ports of iron have likewise largely in
creased lately.
Then the duty on pig iron is only So. 1C
ton, while in this country it is Sc. ~.
When it was proposed to knock off the
odd cents and make the rate So by way
of avoiding the trouble of making
change, the authors of the proposition
were stigmatized as ''free traders" which
is the most opprobrious epithet in the
protectionist vocabulary. How a self
respecting protectionist can applaud any
nation for charging a beggarly duty OF
So. 10 a ton on pig iron is hard to under
stand.
But then it is equally hard to under
stand why our American protectionists
should applaud Germany for imposing
any protective duty at all. When they
are asked what the duty we impose on
iron is for, they say it is for the benefit
of the American workingman, to keep
his wages from falling to the level of the
workingmen of free trade England.
This being the object of protection, as
the Pennsylvania iron manufacturer
frankly admits in those bursts of gener-
GUS confidence for which he is noted
whenever anything is to be- got by them,
it is not apparent what Germany wants
with it. Wages are far lower there than
in Great Britain, where her chief COM
petition lies, and probably as low as any
country in the world producing iron for
export. On the American theory of pro-
lection, therefore, she needs none, and
our American protectionists should not
waste their admiration on her policy

WHlTTLING CHIPS.

Chubby hands so brown and small
Weld the blade and scantling,
Chips, like driftlets fly and fall,
Wasteful litter one and all,
In flakes about the bantling.
Seventy springs their seed have sown,
Still with knife and shingle
The child, white haired grandsire grown,
His life dream, his memory flown,
Sits whiting by the ingle.
Yet the past held busy years,
Works of wondrous glitter,
But many loss brought burning tears,
And many gain regretful fears,
At best useless litter
And so methought the hopes and schemes
Of many worldly willing,
When all is told, are idle dreams
That lure men on with golden dreams,
Mere chips of mortal whiting.
