Looks Like Harrison !

H. c. Payne, of Milwaukee, re-
turned yesterday from a business
trip to New York and Boston.
"Ohio politics is attracting a good
deal of attention in the East" said
Mr.. Payne, "and the Buckeye state
is looked upon as the great politi-
cal battle ground for the present.
There is a remarkable determina-
ton among Ohio Republicans to
elect Mckinley, and leading politi-
clans of states further East believe
it will succeed. It is regarded as
a tariff contest and there is the
fullest belief that the people of
that state will sustain the tariff
principle of the Republican party.
The tariff is to be the issue. The
nominees themselves will be practi
cally lost sight of. Of course the
Democratic party will put forth its
utmost efforts, not because it is
Mckinley, but because of the vital
principle involved, and the belief
that the result will weld an infu-
ence on the presidential election"
"What is the general feeling as
to who will be the Republican
nominee for president next year?
"There is a general belief that
Mr.. Blaine will not permit his
name to be used as a candidate
and that the nomination will
naturally drift to Mr.. Harrison. 1t
is admitted everywhere in the east
that if Mr.. Blaine is a candidate
he will be nominated, but the be-
lief that he will not be in the field
is rapidly gaining ground. There
is an increasing belief that Mr..
Blaine's health would not permit
him to stand the strain of a cam
paign. There seems little doubt
that he is a sick man, and it is
believed that he will remain in the
cabinet and advise the renomina-
ton of Mr.. Harrison.
at is regarded as altogether
probable that the Republican
national convention will be held
the last week in May next, and it
will likely go to Chicago. There
is some talk of San Francisco, but
very little likelihood that the con-
vention will be held there"-Senti-
mel.

The adjournlng of the impeachment
court last Saturday, on account of Gen.
Weaver's belly-ache, cost the people of
the commonwealth nearly $500. One
dose of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera

saved this expense; and we suggest, as
matter of economy and humanity, that
the state provide against future con-
tingencies of this nature, by furnishing
each senator with bottle of that valu-
able remedy. % and so cent bottles for

to his ear.

MEXICAN INFANTRY.

fireworks were set off. These fireworks lasted
Tor hours. The great cathedral of Mexico
formed their center and their background and
lines OF light streamed in the national
colors Of the country about the vast
towers. From the roof sky rockets by
the hundreds whizzed into the black heavens
and great wheels of powder cast a weird
glory of light and shade as their sparks few up
ward about the massive carved front Of the
pile. The old cathedral became almost ghost
like in its shadows light after light blazed
up and went out, and it seemed to me to be
alive and dreaming of its splendid past For
years it was the grand center of the greatest
and richest church on this continent Mexico
poured its wealth into its Golfers. Its walls
alone swallowed up two millions of dollars and
Its interior blazed with treasures Of gold and
silver. From 1t shaven-headed priests
sent forth the orders that governed the
country and it was the center Of the power
behind the throne. Today it is the background
Of the fireworks that celebrate It's fall. 1t be-
longs to the government and its priests and
worshipers hold it only upon the permit of the
republic 1t stands only emblem of the
Mexico of the past on the site of the heather
affairs, which it took years ago from the Mon
tezumas. As look there seems to be remorse
mixed with its sorrow and now out of
its towers and above its massive front springs
great shower Of fire of many colors in the
shape Of a bow, and in it read the rainbow of
Mexico's future. The continuance and the i'm
provement of the republic when purity of gov
eminent allied to the education, both moral
and intellectual, of the people shall make the

sons require more gas than others to produce

Another room was laboratory devoted to
the manufacture of artificial teeth, which are

Getting Even With . Bad Young Man.

She was a pretty girl employed in a down.

boarded in the same house on one of the South
Side avenues and he used to watch her as she
tripped up the stairs. or ate her meals or sat
In the parlor and sang an alto to popular
songs, and he fairly seethed with the bad de-
sire to break her heart But she carried her
self SO delicately and draped herself SO COM
pletely in q certain mantle. the gift of a fairy
had no chance to intrude the odium Of his
terrible badness upon her. And finally his
proclivities for terrible deeds so wrought upon
him that he was put to his wits end. and when
q bad young man about town on a salary of $40
a week gets to his wits end he has found the
very point of nowhere and there is no limit to
what he will do.
So this bad young man went and bought
ticket for the theater, and he inclosed it in a
nice little patchouli-scented note to the young
girl. In it he said something to this effect: 4
inclose ticket No. for C. row at the opera
house." He didn't add Il will occupy No L."
but the girl had bright eyes and she read be-

Now. if the writer had been man enough to
say that with her permission he would escort
her to the theater and throw himself upon the
ground OF common brotherhood and sister,

girl, not being a prude, might have accepted
his invitation. But such an invitation would
not have suited the morbid ambition of the

"The Flag OF Our Fathers."
The Flag Of our Fathers more precious than gold.
No matter how tattered and ragged and old,
IT'S the Flag, just the same, whether ancient or

It's the Flag with its stars and its red white and

The fabric is nothing. It's the thoughts it imparts,
It's the giores about ii that gladden. our hearts,
IT'S each hero, who bravely our banner upholds.
And triumphs or falls to be shrined In It's folds.
We welcome the oppressed, come whence they
may,
But when they do come, let them come to obey
Our laws, and above all to ever he true,
True only to the Flag Of the red. white and blue.
Let them learn that tits liberty that We have here,
Liberty, not license, love and not fear.
Freedom not anarchy, clear peaceful state,
Counting no favors and fearing no hate.
From ocean to ocean one people are we,
One Flag for one people Is all there should be,
For there's glory enough and themes ever new
To be found In our Flag in the red, white and
blue.
Are the banners Of king proper emblems to bear,
Where Freedom and Libertys breathed with the
air:
Oh! our country 10 broad, but Americans see
That but one Flag here noats that the Flag Of the
Free.
