AN OHIO IDEA.

Until very recent period Indiana,
ONO and some other states of less
political significance had elections the
month before the presidential voting
that were more fierccly contested than
the later contest. The October vote
was conclusive as to how those states
would vote III November, and often
virtually settled the presidential con-
test. After the Republican party came
into the field it was found that its moral
stamina was unequal to such an ordeal.
1t was demeraliZing and terribly eX
pensive to the party. The October
states have been dispensed with, but
Ohio is to have an election the coming
yeaI that promises to suggest the old
eraS and throw some rays cnto the
presidential panorama. Those who in
terpret the Ohio idea before it fully
materializes find that the state
ticket will be headed by Gov.
CAMPBELL, the present incumbent,
as the Democratic candidate, and
WILLIAM L.. MCKINLEY, the leader
of the Republicans. The tariff will
be the issue, just as it was in
the late campaign, and the state Will be
flooded with oratory and currency. 1t
will be a sort of political duel. The sur
vivor is to 60 on the presidential ticket
of his party. If CAMPBELL is elected
he will be lieutenant to CLEVELAND.
If MCKINLEY carries the state, BLAINE,
HARRISON, MILES and all the other fell
lows must get out of the way. MCKIN-
LEY must be the nominee of his party
for president. Specifically, this is not
quite rational; but it is a fact that NC
kINLEY did make big run in his dis
trict, if he did not quite get there. He
covered himself all over with his tariff
bill; and under it, or by it, or somehow,
he pulled down the Democratic ma
jority nearly $500. But. whether he
could carry Ohio OF not, he could re-
lieve the state and period from any i'm
putation of political dizziness.

1t Pledges Support to Associa-
tions or Retail Clerks.
DETROIT. Mich, Dec. 1.-THE pro-
ceedlngs of the American Federation
of Labor were opened this morning by
the reading of telegram from Birming-
ham, Ala, saying that the executive
board there had been released
on bail, and adding that in that city
there was no freedom OF speech for Or
ganiZed labor. Chairman Gonipers APP
pointed a committee to formulate the
views of the federation Oh the subject
OF the eight-hour day. 1t was de-
cided to elect officers tomorrow.
Immediately after the election
of officers, the convention will
select the next place of meeting. The
request of the striking picture frame
and molding workers of Cincinnati. also
the boycott of certain brewers and 9th
ers, was reported fayorably and referred
to the executive committee. Peculiarly
aid to the striking Beaver Falls, Pa,
sawmakerS was asked for and referred.
A resolution, which was referred,
asked that the Chicago worlds fair be
only day oh which an opportunity was
offered 10 the wageworkers to attend.
1t was decided by the convention to in
Struct delegates TO bring their influence
on all electrical wage workers within
their Jurisdiction to form unions.
a motion was made pledging the dele
gates present to lend their aid IN the re-
spectiYe localities in the formation of
labor unions of retail clerks, with a
view to their utilization with the Retail
Clerks United Protective Associa-
ton of America. The pledge
also included that of devoted at
tention to securing shorter hours
and Sunday closing for retail clerks re-
ferred to the committee on resolutions.
The report of the committee on c0nSti-
tuition was begun. 1t reported that
1t had carefully gone over the constitu-
ton and revised it. The revised YER
sion OF the first tour sections was care
fully read, re-read, amended and after Il
great deal ofdiScuSsion, "a motion to adopt
vas lost, the pOll'vote standing 1.232 10
641, while q tWo-thirdS vote is required
to carry. The remainder of the report
was then reeommittea to the committee.
The report of the committee on the
presidents report was read by James
Duncan. The report expressed salts
faction at the remarkable growth
of the federation. 1t declared
the committee to be ayerse to strikes,
and stated that the best way of avoid
ing strikes was by thorough and conf
plete organization to meet them. The
sentiment of the convention did not
seem to the committee to be sufficiently
strong Ill favor of the holding of
worlds labor congress at Chicago in
1898, and they would not recommend
Ill, .ot, ri ~ ut
time, but the executive committee
would be Instructed to keep in cor
respondence with a view to a possible
cOugreSS.

FORT SMITH, Ark, Dec. IA horri-
bic tragedy, in which six people were
killed, occurred near this, city late this
evening, the particulars of which have
just reached here. AT about 5
O'Clock this evening r. q. Caldwell, a
prominent farmer, was driving home
from this city, and when about four
miles out was Intercepted by a foot
man. armed with a shotgun, vino asked
him if either Of his mules would ''ride."
Caldwell told him no. About this
time an old man came along riding a
pony. The footman ordered him to get
Off, but he did not comply promptly,
and the man shot him twice. blowing the
whole top Of his head off. He then
mounted the old mans pony and rode
him about three miles, when the animal
gave ont and he abandoned him. He
then canght a young man driving an
empty wagon and jumped in it. He told
the young fellow to drive for his
life, Or he would kill him. Taking
the whip from the driver, he whipped
up the team, ran the mules to .Jenn
Linn, distance Of three or four miles.
Arriving there he went to the store
of DR.. j.. D.. Stewart, and seeing sew
eral men about the place. drove
them away with his gun, entered the
store and shot Stewart down. He then
walked out. but returned and shotStew-
art again, though it is said the first shot
killed him. From Stewards he went
TO the house of John Miller,
quarter Cf a mile. distant. finding
Miller some distance from the house he
shot and mortally wounded him. He
then proceeded to the house and shot
Mrs. Miller in the stomach, and
then killed Miller's daughter, after
Which he blew his own brains out, inst
as posse OF men who had been sum-
mohed came up to him. Miller is dead.
and 1t is said Mrs Miller can
not recover. While in the wagon
with the young man, he told
him his name was Bill Joplin. He gave
the young man -. saying he wished
HIM to telegraph his uncle in Kentucky
that he was iii trouble, and to come to
him. Joplin has been at work
at Jenny Lind where he fell in
love with Miss Miller. whom he MUIR
dered. He was in the city to-day with

vented the ceremony, taking his daugh-
Ter home with him. Joplin followed them
out later, and. thinking DR.. Stewart had
something to do with breaking up the
match. killed him. The old man he

MAY BE A GOOD EXAMPLE.

South Dakota may be somewh at
cramped by the austerities of the state
constitution in the matter of eXpendi-
lures. So far as this prevents the eX-
tension of state relief to the sufferers in
few counties that have had failure of
crops, this is to be regretted, but the
compulsory frugality with public means
may otherwise be a useful experience.
Politically it might be noted that meas
ureS of economy come to the front as
the Republican party moves toward the
rear. But the disposition in most lie w
states is to eXpend rather too literally
Tor the income. Ambition like that of
enthusiastic young men in setting up
housekeeping, and the eagerness of
many to have Offices come their way,
have something to do with the matter.
That state is equipped like an cid
community with educational and
pubic institutions. They must be
kept in operation and I'D to the stand
ard. The pruning. as indicated, is to
take channels that legislators do not
often have the nerve to enter. For in
stance, it is proposed to reduce the
membership of the legislature from 100
tei0O, or III that proportion. A squad
of state officials, such as emigration
commissioner, veterinary surgeon, rail
road commission, most of the orna-
mental attaches of the legislature-no
doubt useful, too, at times-are. to be
eliminated. Without presuming upon
any suggestions i'll detail, it is believed
that nearly all the legislatures could
find useful field for their activities in
cutting off the suDerfiuities that have
gathered about them in the ailuring
sweetness of their good nature. The
South Dakota example may be profit
able one to direct the mind to at times.

LONDON, Dee. IL All the efforts of
the leagues to haul off the PeninSular
d Oriental mail steamer Nepaut,
which stranded on the plymouth break
water during the fog last night, have
proved unavailing. She went aground
at low water, and as the tide
rose she rapidly filled. 1t is believed
she will be a total wreck. No lives were
lost. Among the crew were number
of Lascars,and when the steamer struck
they became panic-stricken. The Off
GERS and the white members of the
crew were calm. The specie, bag
gage and dispatch bags were
saved. The cargo consisted of 1,300
chests of tea, 1.5o0 bags of wheat, 1000
bags of rice and quantity of indigo,
Jute and other merchandise. it is
thought it will all be lost. 1t is insured
for 9l00,G00. The Nepaul was bound
from Calcutta and MarSeilleS for Lon
don. The Nepaut was bark rugged
iron-screw steamer of 1851 gross tons
burden. She was built at Glasgow in
1876. A dispatch from Plymouth re-
ceived this afternoon says the Nepaul
is completely submerged, and has be-
come total wreck.
