W-"The farmer is living too extravagant.
ly," say the protectionists. "If he would
economize more, and live within his means
he would be all right" In other words the
protected nabobs want the farmer, who pro.
duces all the wealth of the country, to be.
come literal beast of burden, and enjoy
none of the fruits of his toll, that they may
add more to their millions and revel more in
luxury. This is what protection amounts to-
and every farmer, when he puts his hands in
his empty pockets, knows we are telling the
simple truth.

The Democrats of Henry county may
we'll feel proud of their victory last week
The fight was bitter one honest men and
capability against Republican falsehood and
boodle-and right won.
The Democrats also gained complete
victory Notwithstanding the traitors in their
own ranks. The party is cussed with several
of these fellows, who call themselves Demo
Gratis, but in reality are for the ticket which
furnishes the most money. They were up to
their old tricks last week, and were busy all
day of the election stabbing their party in
the back.
The sooner these fellows are kicked, bodi,
ly, out of the Democratic party the better ii
will be for all parties concerned. They are
traitors to the cause and should be 80 treated.
They were sent by the Republicans all over
the county to do their dirty work but they
did not have as much influence as they
thought they had. Treat them as they de-
serve, and thus purge the greatest and best
party on the face of the earth, of the traitors
who pretend to train under her banner when
in reality they do the dirtywork of the Repub-
lican yarty. There are several of these fel-
lows spotted and they will be placed where
they belong, in the Republican ranks, and
they will be good members of that rotten
old hull, as there is nothing too low for them
to do.
This may sound little severe, but the
Democratic party cannot afford to let traitors
train with it any more than can an army ex-
ist that allows its ranks to become honey
combed with traitors and spies.

November Weather Proverbs

AS the wind is in the month of November
so it will be in December.
Thunder in November indicates fertile
year to come.
If there be ice in November that will beal
duck, there will be nothing thereafter but
sleet and huck.
II the geese on Martins day, Nov. IS
stand on ice, they will walk in mud or
Christmas day.
If at st. Mary's it is fair, dry and cold, the
cold in winter will not last long.
When in November the water rises it will
show itself the whole winter.
As at st. Catharine's (25th) foul or fair, sc
will the next February.
AS November 21st, so the whole winter.
AS November so the following March.
If the leaves of the trees and grape vines dc
not fall before Martins day, cold winter
may be expected. ..s

W"A retrospective glance will reveal that
notwithstanding Democratic majority OF
1900 in the county, the recent political scrap
was an uneven one, the Democrats laboring
at disadvantage. There had been mighty
effort months prior to bring about the dis,
integration of the Democratic party by the
INSCRIPTIONS gang who, with the satellites
infested every community in Henry county
scattering abroad by word of mouth and
pamphlets, lies and Misrepresentation of
their ever victorious enemy. The gang was
thoroughly organized and backed up by out
side Doodle. Each shark was allotted his
territory and labored hard to receive the
plaudits of his kind by accomplishing his
share of this coveted disruption. Time
rolled its heavy though agile folds to the
4th of November. The people went to the
ballot box and deposited a mute witness con-
demning the policy and repudiating the dis
graceful methods followed by the Republi-
can party-methods which are alien to Dem
ocracy.

How Diphtheria May be Prevented

How Diphtheria May be Prevented
A striking example of how diphtheria may
be prevented recently came to notice.
Diphtheria was prevailing to some extent
in Lima, and mother and child, the latter
having been exposed to the disease, went
from Lima to Bellefontaine. The Health
Officer of Lima notified the health authorities
in Bellefontaine, of the fact, and the mother
and child, and the family into which they
went were strictly quarantined by the Board
of Health.
The child soon contracted diphtheria, and
the family was treated as though it were a
case of Smallpox. No one was permitted
to 60 into or come from the house, and
as a result no other cases occurred outside OF
that family. One other child, living in the
house, contracted diphtheria, but the prompt
action of the Board of Health, thanks to the
notification of the Health Officer of Lima,
quickly stamped out the disease and possibly
averted an epidemic Sanitary Record
for October.
Such Health Officers are worthy of all
honor. How many families have been
quarantined, or indeed, cards placed on the
houses during the present epidemic of Scar
let fever? Yet this is only part of what the
State and corporation laws require.
The Health Officer who faithfully does his
duty, and who thereby saves many lives
should be amply remunerated. Three dol
lars month ,Uould not be too much.

JOY in standing on the street corners and
abusing the Democratic party with vicious
ness which makes fools laugh and disgusts
sensible peo l,ie. Before election he stood
before a small audience in the Ross House
and calculated, with arms saving the air and
feet executing an Erie Theatre clog: "Gen-
tlemen, am nominated and will get there
it matters not what the e------ -
rebel Democrats to say about me.
They ara liars, all of them" Subsequent
events had proven that he had no very great
penchant for telling the truth and that a
good round majority of Woods voters
sentenced him to ''get behind US Satan"
Doc Jones, another model Republican was
knocked out for sheriff in the same county.
He whispered an incendiary speech to the
convention that nominated him, violently
asserting that he would make the best sheriff
Wood county ever had. This in the face of a
long line of Republican sheriffs was not de-
posted in the craws of the delegates present
without perceptible gulp. Wood county,
long under Republican plutocracy, has
thrown off the yoke and will be 80 no long
er.
The defeat of Jones and Day manifests
what the people can do and this fact will act
as leaven. In 1872 Wood will rank Demo-
cratic.

down his rifle and pointed it out Of the
window at the fox. The window being
low, she found she could not rest tho
gun on the sill and take good aim, SO she
raised it and held it at arms length,
fired and killed the fox instantly. She
then went out and brought her trophy
into the house. The Portland Press,
from which this paragraph is taken,
says that the distance, being measured,
proved to be thirty rods.

Black ROYALTIES in Paris.

King Dinah Salifou, who attracted so
much attention here during the visit of
the Shah of Persia, has been replaced by
anothersable Senegalese sovereign named
Ousman Classy. Parisians, however, are
no longer curious about negro monarchs,
as poor Ousman Classy, unlike his prede-
cessor, is left to languish in his lodgings
in the locality of Grenelle, where he is
surrounded by an encampment of his
subjects. King Classy has fought and
bled in the cause of France, and has ac-
cordingly received the cross Of the Le-
gion of Honor, which he wears proudly
in his white burnous. He rules when az
home over 200 villages, containing pop
ulation Of 100000 sable subjects. Like
most Of the superior types Of blacka-
moors invited to see the exhibition and
to represent here the natives Of the
FrencS colonies or dependencies in Afri-
ca, Ousman Classy is highly intelligent
looking man, and his royal honors, al
though meager and mediocre, sit well
upon him.-London Telegraph.
