Paving OF Republican pebts.

OF course bankrupt political party
must have an is2ue. 1t would not do
to 60 before the people and ask to be
given charge of public affairs without
some reason. One Of the issues this
year as raised by Dan Ryan, who is rum
ming for Secretary of State, is that Of
Increased expenditures by the last
Legislature. Mr.. Ryan is making
great ado about this matter. He finds
out that the Democrats appropriated
about $500, 600 more than the Republicans
did Granting that this is true there
must be some good reason for it. One
of the reasons for it Is found in an ap-
preparation Of seo,oOo to pay off debt
contracted by the last Republican Logis-
lature on the amendments. That Legis-
lature. as every body knows, submitted
some amendments to be voted upon by
the people at the November election
last, year. Among these amendments
was one providing for biennial elections.
These amendments were defeated, but
not before they had cost the State Of
Ohio something like $4,000 in the
shape Of advertising. The bill had
to be paid because it was contracted in
good faith. The next Legislature
chosen had Democratic majority, and
| to that body was left the duty Of max
ing provision for the payment of this
debt. This Legislature did it BY making
the appropriation Of 100000. It couldn't
do any thing else, and now Mr.. Ryan
and his organs are charging 1t with ex-
travagance simply because it refused 70
repudiate an honest debt contracted By
its Republican predecessor.

Not Discourared Yet.

1t is wonderful how much pertinacity
and courage are displayed by the aver
age settler in a new country. Up in
Dickey and Mcintosh counties, in North
Dakota, the crops have failed for several
seasons from various causes, and the
hardy Russians and sturdy Germans
who have been holding down claims in
these localities have had pretty tough
times. This year the hot winds have
again cooked the crops, so that there is
nothing left to harvest, and the poor
foreigners have been forced to leave their
farms and look for work in northern
Wisconsin in order to save their fami-
lies from starving during the coming
winter. "But they are not discour-
aged" naively remarks a North Dakota
paper, ''and will cling to their claims,
feeling confident that there is good
time yet in store for them. Chicago

INDICATED.

At the grand larceny of the last tive
Democratic seats in Congress one week
ago twelve Republicans bolted their
caucus and voted against the Republican
contestant and in favor Of retaining the
Democrat in his seat Ever since this
wholesale robbery of seats began the
Democrats have been roundly abused for
filibustering and retarding public legis-
iation. But public legislation from the
Reed standpoint appears to be in oust-
Ing Democrats fairly elected and putting
In Republicans whom the people reject
cd at the polls. The course OF the
Democrats in fhbustering to prevent
these wholesale robberies is now fully
.vindicated by the course pursued By
these twelve Republican members, who

tion Of conscience in daring to defy the

An unusual Phenomenon.

An unusual phenomenon was wit
messed at Neville island Thursday.
During the heavy thunder storm shock
of green corn in lot few feet from
Squire Shanks' residence was struck by
lightning, and taking fire, instantly
burned until it was entirely consumed,
the flames rising several feet above the
top of the corn. The corn was not only
wet by the shower, but was entirely
green, having been cut but few hours.
People who witnessed the sight were
reminded of tle story of Elijah's com
petitive test of the products Of Baal, the
fire coming down from the sky and con-
suming pile fully as wet as was the
sacrifcial altar. Several people in the
vicinity were somewhat stunned, but
not seriously injured. -Pittsburg Dis.

AN oFFlcIous HENcHMAN.

0stsnsIbly Working for the state Yet
Secretly cnnvnssing for The Republican
Ticket.
W. Mcdonald. State Inspector Of
shops and factories by the grace Of q
Democratic Legislature. is playing =
very smooth game this campaign. Mr..
Mcdonald is simply laying his neck on
the block when the Legislature meets
this winter. Mr.. Mcdonald is allowed
$500 year salary and contingent ex-
penses for travelling. he is supposed to
inspect public buildings here and there
through the State in the interest Of life
and humanity. Reports come from
a certain city that all Of his time is not
spent in the service of the State as the
people imagine. Mr.. Med. evidently
thinks the public is made up largely OF
fools and sich, but he will learn later
along that he is the only one who will
be fooled. While in GAINESVILLE the
other day he made . personal canvass o.
the men in the shops he inspected and
lectured to them privately as to their
duty in the political premises. 1t so
happened that he ran across good
Democrat and the two had 1t hot and
heavy as the story goes. Mr.. Mcdonald
roundly abused him and told him what
a crime he was committing in voting
the Democratic ticket He warned
him against such course and reminded
him that the Democrats would ruin the
country il they had chance. The In
spector was very bitter against the
Democrats and applied various epithets
to its members. 1t is time to call q halt
on this officious henchman Of the late
Foraker regime. He is too fresh and
should be disciplined by the Legislature
at the coming session.

Severe ON The Militia.

One of the regular officers who was at
the Mt. Gretna encampment says the fol-
lowing in regard to that camp: II can
not refrain from saying that it looks as
if the state Of Pennsylvania paid $780,
900 for an inspection and two reviews.
Beyond that nothing was attempted
which could not have been better exc
cuted at the armories at home. The
militiamen have the idea that If they
get few Of the movements down fine
which are spread out before them in
Upton's tactics they are in condition to
conquer the world and haven't anything
more to learn. Why, they leave off just
where real warfare begins. Such a
thing as modern battle tactics is un-
known to them. It is in the ability to
rightly handle just such bodies Of men as
that division of 1000 militiamen which
encamped at Mt. Gretna that officers in
the militia are lacking That's the sort
of work that will count in war now,
and that's the very thing that is never
attempted. Army and Navy Journal.

II you are not q politician and want to

less certainly at this season. So when
you see q lot of those big purple beauties
lying in little nests Of white tissue paper.
looking as though they had just dropped
from the tree all ready to be bitten,
don't be deceived. They have all come
from California; they have been handled
in good part by Chinese cheap labor;
they have taken long journey over
Land, and have grown riper on the way,
but they are tremendously good all the
same. Just buy one and try it.
And this contribution to New York's
comfort from California is godsend.

her fruit merchants here, has leaped into
the breach like a constitutional Curtius

Rrice and Quay.

The present campaign in Ohio brings
out strong comparison between Sena-
tor-elect Calvin s. Brice and Senator M.
s. Quay, of Pennsylvania. In the canl-
paign Of 1888 Republican papers were
pleased to term Mr.. Brice as the rain
bow chaser" and grew merry in point
ing out the weakness and inexperience
of Mr.. Brice as compared to Mr.. Quay.
The latter won, as everybody knows, by
the Blocks of Five method and the cor
ruption fund expended in the cities OF
New York and Brooklyn. True it was
by scratch, but he won. Mr.. Quay
then became a great man. The real
managers Of the campaign, Tom Platt,
General Clarks6n, w. W. Dudley and
others were forgotten and ignored. Quay
was the great man. Another year
goes by and Quay turns his manage
ment to Pennsylvania politics and with
what result? In less than six months
he has divided the Republican party
and endangered the supremacy of par
ty that gives partisan majority Of
oearly so, 900, even in an off year. He
has driven from the party dozen in flu-
ential organs and alienated thousands
OF the better element. In short the
shrewdest politicians agree that the
chances of Democratic success in Penn
sylvania are fully as good as the oppo'
sition.
But how Is it with Mr.. Brice in Chic?
A State convention was held which Mr..
Brice attended as a delegate, He had
no slate. He had no choice of men for
position on the ticket or on any
committee. He recognized that ira
ditional Democratic doctrine that
to the people alone belong the right Of
selection of their public servants. In
the voice of the people as expressed in
the nomination of honest Thad. Crom'
ley, the plain Pickaway County farmer,
for Secretary of State, he acquiesced
/ and gave it his most earnest and cordial
Endorsement. The result is shown to
day in harmonious party going for
ward under popular standard, and con
fdent of grand victory. No divis
ions confront US, no factions endange
the ticket and the voice of the part.
and people are all for the farmer candi
date. If any thing shows a favorable
comparison as to ability and wisdom il
party leadership, the hopeful condition
of the Democratic party in Ohio com
pared to the demoralized and disheart
ened condition of the Republican part
in Pennsylvania will furnish illustra
tion to convince even the most skeptical

WHAT IT MEANS.
A Democratic Vote for a Re-
publican Congressional !
Candidate
In Any One of the Twenty
One Districts of the
State
An Endorsement of Tyrant Reed
and Boss Mckinley.
The Duty Of the Hour.

By the decree Of Tyrant Tom Reed,
the brutal presiding officer of the Nation
al House of Representatives, eight DEM
ocrats have been driven from their seats
in the Congress of the United States.
These Democrats with their pluralities
are as follows: Congressman Pendleton,
of West Virginia, 10; Congressman Cate.
of Arkansas, /, S4s; Congressman Comp
ton. of Maryland, 1s1; Congressman
Wise, Of Virginia, 261; Congressman
Turpin, of Alabama, Is, 1853; Congress-
man Breckenridge, of Arkansas, s46;
Congressman Venable, Of Virginia, 642;
Congressman Elliott, of South Carolina,
1856. The infamous grand larceny
made a change Of sixteen votes in Con-
gress, and gave the Republican party 2
majority, which the people Of the Uniteta
States refused to do at tho
polls. The liberties of the people
were to be attacked and to
do it successfully the bosses had to have
strong working majority at their back.
The grand larceny of these seats suficed
to accomplish that result. Then the in
famous Force bill was sprung and the
wicked and iniquitous tariff bill passed.
BY the passage OF this act the Republic
an leaders redeemed their promise made
to the monopolists of the East and are
now in position to demand their
pay in the shape of an immense
corruption fund for the campaign.
Now what does all this mean? Let us
see. The sum total of the Democratic
pluralities swept away by partisan votes
in the Chamber of Representatives is a
little less than $4,000. But the arbi-
trary decisions of the Republican House
! do much more than that. The number
of Democratic votes cast at the elec-
tions of 1888 for these eight expelled
Congressman is 124, 737. In other words,
to strengthen the policy of fraud and
force, nearly 1876, 900 citizens have been
practically disfranchised, robbed OF
their choice of Representatives by the
decree of one hundred and fifty or sixty
Republicans sitting in the House. The
simple fact is strong enough without
adjectives of characterization. For the
expulsion of Representative the Con-
stitution requires .two-thirds vote OF
the House. These eight Democratic
Representatives have been expelled by
less than one-half vote of the House,
and for no other offense than that they
were Democrats, and that their con.
tinued presence in the House was bar
to the programme of the party OF force
and fraud.
| In the face of these facts can any self
respecting Democrat vote for any Re
publican Congressional candidate who
is pledged in advance to support every
thing we are daily condemning ant
against which we are entering our sol
emn protest We do not believe there
is one Democrat who will commit thi
party treason and betray the cause Q
the people.

Prostituting the Postofice.


The U. S. postal laws provide PEN
atty of $500 for any improper use of an
Official frank, yet recent developments
show that the Republican State Execu-
tive Committee is violating the law
every day. Last week at a certain post
Office in Mercer County package was
received from Columbus bearing the of
fetal frank of the government. 1t was
opened and instead Of being used
in official business, it was found
to contain blank poll books to
be used in polling that town
ship. The books came from the head
quarters of the Republican party, in
Columbus, 0. BY what right do the
Republican leaders of Ohio presume to
use the official frank Of the United
States post-office for campaign purposes9
Are the laws so framed so as to allow
Republican leaders to prostitute them
as they will, while others doing SO are
punished? Is tho whole machinery Of
the post-ofice to be turned over to the
Republican campaign by Honest John
Wanamaker? 1t is a high time to put =
stop to this business Had it been done
by private citizen he would have been
prosecuted and made to suffer the ex-
treme penalty of the law, but when 1t
comes to violation by Republican lead
ers, with John Wanamaker winking at
the prostitution Of the service, it APP
pears to be an right. Turn the rascals
out.
