A Courageous Challenge.

Many papers have been saying since
the State convention that Ohio Republi-
cans were weakening on protection be-.
cause in their platform they expressed
a willingness to alter the Mckinley law
as future circumstances may require.
The New York Standard, which is the
rankest of all free trade advocates, does
not see any signs of weakness in the
declaration and shames the Ohio Demo-
Gratis for not having equal courage.
Whatever may be said of the intelli.
gence of men who still shout for Pro-
lection, or of the moral sense and good
taste of people who still worship Foraker,
no one can deny to the Ohio Republi-
cans the courage of their delusions.
There is no hint of compromise or
evasion about the action of their recent
State Convention. They're affirm their
belief in protection, declare that the
Mckinley bill is "the ablest expression
Of that principle" and crown it all by
enthusiastically nominating Mckinley
himself as their candidate for Governor.
The remainder OF the platform is of little
account. The fight must be on the tariff
issue, and the Republicans of Ohio un-
hesitatingly take most aggressive and
radical position possible in that question,
and challenge the Democrats to meet
them on field where the challengers
were ignominiously beaten last fall.
This certainly looks like courage now,
though by the middle OF next November
it may appear to have been mere fool.

In the long list of trusts which has
been going the rounds of the press for
some weeks we fail to notice the name
OF the Welsh Tin Trust. This vast and
powerful combination owns the entire
tin deposit of Wales and controls the tin
market CT the United States. For many
years we have been paying $30,OOO,OOO
annually to this corporation which fixes
prices to suit itself and without paying
any taxes or acknowledging any allegi-
ance to our government, enjoys all the
benefit OF our vast demand for tin goods.
1t is difficult to see why the Democratic
press should manifest so much resent.
ment against trusts OF this country while
it apparently ignores the exi.tence of
the enormous commercial combinations
of England which would be given full
sway in our market by the removal OF
the tariff. 1t is the policy of the Repub.
lican party to interfere with and break
up all combinations which tend TO ham.

tai to the interests of the people, and
further legislation may be looked for in
thia same direction. The tin trust can
only be reached by the tariff, and the
Mckinley law has so effectually cut it
off from our market as to compel it to
close its mills throwing $4,000 workmen
out of employment. The CONSERVATION

Welsh Tin Trust is one of the best
proofs Of the enormous revenue we have

One Standard Of Value.

One of the things which the silverites
do not understand, probably because
do not wish to, is the utter hopelessness
of making two metals equal in value by
legislation. 1t is just as impossible to
make 4l2 1-2 grains of silver equal in
value to 25.S grains Of gold by act OF Con.
gress as it would be to make bushel OF
wheat always equal in value to bushel
of potatoes. Some months ago bushel
of wheat could be traded, even, for a
bushel of potatoes, but at present prices
it takes bushel and half of wheat to
buy bushel of potatoes, and legislation
could not change these conditions. 1t is
nonsense to try to have two standards OF
value, and the proper one to adopt is
the one that is in use by the best nations
in the world. Gold must be our stan.
dard OF value. We would be pleased to
see silver advance in price, as it would
benefit our mine owners, but it will not
advance in price to any great extent as
long as overproduction exists, and any
attempt to make it equal in value to gold
by.act of Congress would be futile. OF
course, the United States could adopt
silver as standard of value in the place
of gold, and thus initiate the wisdom Of
the pagan world, but gold would be
driven out of the country, which would
result in initiating prices above one. third,
and every one knows what that would

There seems to be no limit to the cur
ieus freaks by which electricity will
manifest itself. The instance related by
one of our citizens, who spent several
days at Cincinnati few weeks ago, is
one of the most remarkable, and il it
were not for the well known truthfulness
of the narrator its credibility might be
called inquestion. He relates that while
watching the approach of an electric car
he noticed a small boy fall upon the
track Immediately in front oft. As the
boy appeared to be caught in some way
and unable to rise, the gentleman sprang
to his rescue and by one Herculean
effort jerked him loose from the track
just in time to avert horrible death.
An examination of the lads clothing
showed that his trousers were badly
torn about the pocket on the right side
and slightly singed. Just inside the
rail a handful of heavy steel spikes
were found. This explained the cause
The boy confessed that he had stolen
the spikes from some carpenters work
ing near and was making off with them
when he slipped and fell on the track
The steel rail being highly charged with
electricity, magnetized the spikes by
induction and held the boy firmly to the
track until his rescuer wrenched hin
loose by tearing out the pocket. Or
searching the boy thoroughly couple
of dynamite cartridges and bunch O
tow string were found but fortunatel!
he had thrust these into his left pocket
otherwise the electric shock caused b,
the contact OF the spikes with the raj
might have produced disastrous conse
quences, not only to himself and hi
rescuer but to the occupants OF the ca
and the real estate on that square.

A few Fayette county Republicans it
seems have manifested some dissatisfac.
ton that the Common Pleas Judgeship
should 60 to Highland county, and have
made certain dark threats OF what would
be done in case Mr.. Newly or Judge
Gardner received the nomination. The
Democrats have been strenuously trying
to aggravate this feeling as much as posi-
BILE in order to turn it in some way to
their own advantage. One of the silly
stories that has been started is that
should Mr.. Newly be nominated the
Democrats would nominate Judge Steel
and that he would be elected by the aid
OF Fayette county Republicans. Another
scheme was for the Democrats to NOM
mate Mills Gardner and elect him over
the regular Republican nominee by the
aid of the Farmers Alliance. Either of
the schemes are seen to be ridiculous
and impossible. There is good deal Of
confusion in politics just now but it is
not probable that Fayette county Re-
publicans will endorse the nomination
of Judge Steel or that Mills Gardner
would accept nomination from the
Democratic party. Threats made in ad.
vance of the convention only give the
enemy an opportunity to concoct schemes
for division. The Fayette county Herald
probably expresses the sentiment Of
its constituents when it says: "Every.
thing should be fairly transacted and a
suitable candidate chosen, and if the
nomination should not fall upon a Fav.
ette county man there should be no kick
ing, but Republicans in all the counties
should rally to the support of the fortu.
nate man, be he from Highland, Ross or
Fayette."

buildings Too Small.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-While the
Mormons are making pretense Of obey
ing the laws prohibiting polygamy, they
are nevertheless openly drawing the
most distinct lines possible between
themselves and the Gentiles. Their
latest move, as reported, is the with
drawing Of their children from the en-
hghtenment Of the public schools and
the placing OF them In schools Of their
own, where tho principles Of Mormonism
may be taught without hindrance.
Mr.. Foreman, the commissioner Of
public schools Of Utah, has sent Oh his
annual report which aside from the
usual statistical tables contains per
centage Of information which bears
significance. 1t shows that during the
year just ended the Mormons have in
creased the number of their schools TO
more than three times the number that
existed at the beginning Of the year,
Mr.. Boreman says:
"The great increase Of the Mormon
church schools throughout the territory
necessarily ATTRACTS attention This in
crease is traceable no doubt to the fear
of the public schools as shown in my
last report, entertained by the Mormon
church authorities, and in anticipation
of the public schools being made free.
There was bill before congress last
winter TO give this territory free school
system. While it was pending the leg
islature of the territory anticipated the
action of congress and passed an act
making the public schools Of the terri
tory free The act is imperfect and in
definite in its provisions and require
ments but it shows a great advance.
Its imperfections, it is hoped, will be
remedied by our next legislature.
''Since the new law has gone into eff
feet, reports come to me from all parts
of the territory that the schools are
crowded to oyerflowing with pupils, not
withstanding the apathy of many aud
the opposition Of others. 1t also
demonstrates the fact long denied that
the children of the territory We're not
provided with ample school opportunities
and facilities The school authorities
throughout the, territory were not pre-
pared for the wonderful increase in the
number of pupils. he buildings and ac-
commodations Were not sufficient, but
the boards generally are taking steps as
speedily as possibly 10 make the needed
improvements
