LOUISVILLE.

Mrs George Anderson died at her home in Mar
tins Ferry on Saturday last, and was buried at
Plainfield on Tuesday. Deceased was an old lady,
well and fayorably known here, as nearly all her
early life was spent in this vicinity. Her daughter,
Miss Mary Smith was laid to rest in Plainield ce
etery during the autumn, and the family have the
sympathy of all in this their double bereavement.
On Wednesday of last week Emmett Williams
became suddenly i'll at the home of his father, VIM.
Williams. For time he was partially deprived
of both his power of speech and sight. Thursday
he had recurrence of the attack, when he be-
came alarmed, and placed himself under treat
ment with DIR. Estep. By speedily applying rem
edies when noting symptoms of an approaching
attack he has thus far succeeded in warding them
off, and at present is much improved.
Mrs Ella Boyd was also taken severely i'll on Sat
urday, and for a short time her life was almost
deSpaired of. However, she soon rallied and is
now much better.
A number of others have been on the sick list,
but are now cOnvalescent. Among them are Mrs.
Ella Hatcher, Miss Flora Michiner, Mrs. F. O.

THURSDAY. DEC. "a, 1891.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Christmas and the holiday season are
green oases in the years progress. Just
like the green and cooling shade of the
deserts islands, they stand in the midst
of their environing days and weeks and
months. The oasis trees and bloom tell
of hidden springs bubblingup vital and
sparkling from the bosom of earth. So
the putting aside of usual business, the
giving of generous gifts and the eating
of ehoicer food, mark the place where
the stream of Divine feeling, the current
of love, of peace and good will, appears
above the sands and fructifes and
beauties this everyday and work-a-day
life.
The significance of the Christmas fes-
tival is not so much in its origin, though
that be the birth of the worlds greatest
name, as in its observance. Ponder on
its origin as much as you will, if you
neglect its observance, the day will be
barren of fruit as a frozen bud. But
observe it in the light of its holy origin,
and according to custom, and you will
make others happier as well as yourself
better.
To all our patrons, we heartily wish a
Merry Christmas.

THE Constitution of the State gives a
two-thirds majority of both branches of
the Legislature the power to increase,
reduce, or rearrange the Common Please
Judicial Districts. This is matter
which will demand the careful consider
alton of the General Assembly, for as
they are now placed, so will they likely
continue to remain for many years to
come. Since Ohio is Republican State,
it is manifestly unjust that two-thirds
of the Judgeships should be filled by
Democrats. Among the first acts of the
Legislature attention should be given
to this matter and final disposition
made of it, lest something should
happen. Action should not be delayed.

AS THE day for the election of a
Senator draws nearer, the Foraker organs
more and more indulge in vituperation
of Senator Sherman. They are now
desperate and are resorting to every
means to compass Sherman's defeat.
But Honest John still moves on regard
less of their efforts. The contest has
assumed the phase of pack of little
terriers barking at great big English
mastiff.

IT has just been revealed that the
State Institution for the blind at Colum-
but has been running without the ser
vices of an oculist The report of an
oculist, hired to make an examination,
states that a large percentage of those in
the institution are suffering from dis
eases which might be cured and their
sight restored. The report comes in the
nature of surprise that such an insti-
tuition could be so conducted, and that it
had not previously been discovered.

PRESTON B. PLUMB, United States
Senator from Kansas, died suddenly
from apoplexy at his Washington home,
Sunday morning. Senator Plnmb was
a man Of remarkable energy, and did a
vast amount of work His death is at
tributed directly to overwork.
He has represented Kansas in the
Senate for fifteen years, and has ever
been a conservative and reliable legis-
lator, though looking well after the
interests of his constituents. The Gov
ernor of Kansas has the appointment of
his successor, and the Governor is a
Republican. There is much suggestion
from everywhere that Mr.. ingalls, be
appointed. For the brilliant ex-senator
to take seat beside PETER, by whom
he was deposed, would no doubt be a
striking instance of poetic justice, but
the course of the sarcastic Kansan has
not commended itself to stalwart, old
line and all-the- time Republicans, and
they could pick filter man.

THE appointment of Mr.. Elkins as
Secretary of War is one which will
greatly strengthen the administration.
Mr.. Elkins is the keenest sort of a
business man, and one who has made
for himself vast fortune from nothing.
He has not been much in politics except
as manager for Mr.. Blaine, and his
appointment is therefore taken as evil
dence that Mr.. Blaine does not intend
to stand in the way of President Har-
rison for second nomination. Mr..
Blaine, however, has Lot yet withdrawn,
and Mr.. Elkins' appointment does not
compel him to withdraw. 1t is perhaps
logical that he should, but it is quite
possible that he should not. The Re-
publican sentiment of the country is for
Blaine. He will get the nomination if
he wants it.
The appointment of warm friend of
Mr.. Blaine's shows at least that the
President and his Secretary are on the
best of terms.

older poets and literary men of this
country, celebrated last week the eighty
fourth anniversary of his birth. The
name of the Quaker Poet is revered
wherever English literature is known.
He wrote verses that appeal to mems
hearts. Besides being master of fine
sentiment and exquisite poetic form,
Whittier was a generous humanitarian
and part statesman. His earliest lit
erary work was done as editor of a
journal advocating the doctrine of pro-
lection to American industries, and
before and during the war he was one
of the ablest champions by speech and
song of the negroes freedom. The
