AS NATURE PROMPTS.

The above is the title of a new novel
by that accomplished artist, essayist
and poet, Miss Kate Kaufman of
Springfield, Ohio. 1t is now in press.
Miss Kaufman is brilliant and fas-
cinating writer, both in prose and poe
try, and we expect to see the most in
tense and soul absorbing novel of the
good round year. There is said to be
many incidents in the woof of the story
that are based on fact, and one of the
heroes is from real life. When the vol.
ume appears we shall hope to see it,
and then our cordial views shall be fur
ther expressed. Ohio has produced
some very brilliant women, but none In
our memory have made lasting fame
in fiction. We look to see Miss Kauff-
man pitch her white tent on flames

NOTWITHSTANDING the magnificent
crops we have gathered, East, West
and South, with a large foreign de-
mand, and all the conditions favorable
for big business boom, the Mckinley
bill still holds the Nation down. Bust
ness failures increase, and there are
labor cuts everywhere. The National
treasury has been looted of $142,000,00O
left there by Grover Cleveland, and the
Republican Secretary of the Treasury
is flying around like a foolish pup chas-
ing his tail, trying to make both ends
meet. The business failures in the
United States during ths week number
250. which is II more than for the same
week In September last year, before
the full force of the robber tariff was
understood. The total number of busi-
ness failures from January /, 1891, to
date runs up to the enormous aggregate
of 8,s12, which is 1895 more than for
the same period last year. 1t is any
wonder that patriotic men are every
where shouting, shoot the robber

FALsIFYINa HISTORY.

We have had repeated experiences with
both free trade and protection. Without
exception free trade has brought us busi-
ness paralysis, idleness, poverty and dis
tress, while protection has uniformly
brought business activity, the employment
OF both labor and capital, the develop
ment Of our industries and consequent
wealth, prosperity and happiness.-lM Mo-
Kinley at Athens, Ohio.
We never have had experience with
free trade In any form, as every intelli-
gent man In America well knows. This
being the case, the dismal picture
drawn of business prostration under
that condition is necessarily false in
every particular. This country never
saw such panic and such business
stagnation as it experienced in the
years between 1873 and 1879, and there
was high protective tariff in force
every minute of the time.-[Chicago

AN INDEPENDENT ESTIMATE OF.
EX-GoVERNoR FORAKER.
[Rrom the New YORK snn. 1

Forgery Foraker stepped into the
Ohio campaign with his usual impu-
dence last week, and for some reason
gave good deal of his harrangue to
personal abuse of Calvin Stewart Brice.
Colonel Brice will survive the attacks
Of a man notorious throughout the
country as the principal or accomplice
in a detestable conspiracy to ruin the
character OF some of the best known
Republicans of Ohio. What credence
can be given to such a person as For
aker, whether he talks about men In
In his own party or men in the Demo
cratic party2 1t is, in fact, disgrace
to the State of Ohio and an evidence of
a low tone ofmorality on the part of
many of her citizens that vulgar and
brazen character like Foraker has not
been punished by general public con-
tempt and ostracism for his sneaking
and cowardly conduct In connection
with the ballot-box forgeries. Be-
trayer Of his friends, assassin of reputa-
tions, reckless of honor or truth in the
persuit of his coarse ambition, dripping
with slimy intrigue and conspiracy,
Foraker is still the idol Of some of the
Ohio Republicans, and is still striving
to supplant John Sherman, the expert
enced and accomplished statesman, to
whom he has been false more than
once. Whatever happens in the Ohio
canvass, this wretched, wriggling For
aker should be stamped upon and
crushed out.

Nor satisfied with maligning the pri-
vate character of Gov. Campbell, the
local morning Republican organ, to-
gether with other Republican sheets Of
the same stripe, are manufacturing and
spreading malicious stories concerning
his private business affairs. There Is
nothing in political matters 80 detesta-
BILE and contemplate as that style Of
alleged journalism. If that course Is to
be continued by our local contemporary
we want to know it, as there are some
things In the personal affairs of Major
Mckinley, the evidence Of which is
within reach, that might shock the sem
sibilities of those who think the major
beyond censure. Gov. Campbell and
Major Mckinley set out by hoping the
campaign would be confined to the dis.
cussion of principles and measures and
that personalities should be avoided.
Republican organs have violated this
understanding. Major Mckinley will
do we'll to whip his snarling ours TO
their kennel.-[Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Col. A. l.. CoNGER, of five trusts,
who has Just reduced the pay of 700
workmen in his highly protected estab-
lishment at Akron, is very anxious for
McKinleys election, as well as the
other trust sharks. Col. Conger is
also very friendly to Blaine, all on ac-
count of the post office controversy in
Akron, in which Conger's candidate
was not appointed. A tremendous
pressure was brought to bear upon
Blaine to induce him to make just one
speech In Ohio for Mckinley, but
Blaine refused to do it. Finally Blaine
in order to keep himself il line with his
party, sent Conger the following letter:

represent honest differences between the

MCKINLEY, Sherman and Foraker
may take the stump every day from
now until the day of election in defense
of their high tariff theories and yet the
fact will remain to stare every Ohio
citizen in the face that during the past
ten years farming lands have declined
in Ohio to the enormous extent of two
hundred and fifty millions of dollars.
This fact furnishes an argument
against the protection humbug that Is

THERE is to be but one joint debate
between Gov. Campbell and Major Nc
Kinley-at Ada, on October .. Inc
reason why there will be but one is be-
cause the chairman OF the Republican
State committee is afraid to risk more
than one contest, having absolutely re-
fused to arrange for series OF debates
Chairman Neal of the Democratic com
mittee made vigorous effort for q
series of joint debates, but the Major

few days ago, passed on a road in
Madison county a camp of vagabOnds.
They were two men, two women aud
three children They had two old COW
cred wagons and two horses. One
Of the horses was dying. The animal
was unable to hold up It's head. Flies
had come to the banquet of death. This
scene of desolation was saddening in
the extreme. The women and children
were hollow-eyed. Their uncombed
hair hung in strings, like small snakes
tied about their heads. Their garments
were in tatters. One could see their
naked ribs. The men claimed to be in
search of work. They said they had
crossed the continent in quest of a
chance to earn that competence which
the human being needs.
