nation, when an opportunity of great

many improvements and inventions
of to-day, and said the increase OF crime
and the disregard of religion make the
present age a momentous one. The de-
mands of the hour are political integri-

manufacturer, recently, and of asking
him why, since the tariff had been raised,
he did not go to making at least the
"black iron" necessary to make Il. Z.
tin plate. The manufacturer replied
that despite the immense rise in the
prices he could not produce &c. tin plate
and even 'get his money out Of it,
Vice President WIEGAND, of the st.
Louis firm which is alleged to
be making tin plate in CONNER
cial quantities, whose statement was
published in these columns the
other day, said that before tin plate
could be made in this country the tariff
would have to be placed two cents a
pound higher than the enormous Nc
Kinley duty, or the latter nearly
doubled. The price has already
advanced S1.25 to S1.75 per box, ac-
cording TO size and will advance
at least one dollar more when
the new duty goes into effect in July.
The question therefore is, will it pay
the American people to pay two or
three prices for their tin and drive all
our canning and like establishments to
Canada for the purpose of allowing a
few firms to make American" tin plate
out Of foreign tin?

MARTINS FERRY HIGH SCHOOL
commencement Exercises, Held in the
Opera House Last Night.

Opera House Last Night
The Martins Ferry Opera House
presented very handsome appearance
last evening, the floral display being un-
usually fine. 1t was the occasion OF the
Goth annual commencement of the Mar
tins Ferry High School. The evening
turned out to be very disagreeable, II
having rained during all day yesterday,
but our good people were not to be dis
appointed by this, and showed their ap-
probation of the occasion by turning
out in full force, filling the Opera House
to its utmost capacity, it being one OF
the finest audiences that has ever as
sembled on such an occasion here. The
programme was quite different from
what has been given heretofore on SINH
lar occasions. Instead Of speech
from each of the graduates but two
of the members of the class spoke-an
essay by Miss Jennie Lyte, entitled
"What and Where is the Beautiful"
and an essay by J. Edward Springer,
entitled "Our Navy" One represented
the classical course, the other the scien-
tific. These essays were followed with
an address by Prof. James Chalmers,
which proved to be quite interesting
and was well received by the large
audience present. Taking it as whole
the entertainment could hardly be i'm
proved upon, and Prof. Mannix and his
assistants deserve great credit, and all
should feel proud of the graduating
class Of the Martins Ferry high school
of 1891.
Immediately after the graduating ex-
ercises were over, the graduates and
their friends retired to the G.. A. K.
Hail. corner of Hanover and Fifth
streets, where an elegant banquet was
held, toasts and speeches being INDUCED
in by teachers and scholars.
The evening exercises were opened
with an invocation by the Rev. Chas.
O'Mara, after which the High school
followed with beautiful chorus. The
first essay of the evening was by Miss
Jennie Lytle, which was entitled,
"What and Where Is the Beautiful, "
and the way Miss Jennie handled
her subject was pleasure to
her teacher and friends. 1t
was lengthy and interesting, and
was enjoyed by the large and refined
audience. At the conclusion OF the
essay Miss Jennie was the recipient OF
beautiful lot of flowers and presents.
The other essay OF the evening was en-
titled "Our Navy" and was mastery
piece by J. Edward Springer, and
showed that Mr.. Springer was thor
oughly conversant with the subject that
he had chosen for his essay. Mr..
Springer was also the recipient OF a
large number of presents and flowers. At
the conclusion of Mr.. Springer's essay
Mr.. C. j. LaRoche followed with a
beautiful violin solo, after which Prof.
James Chalmers, of the State Universe
ty, delivered an interesting address en-
titled Crumbs" A fine piano
solo was then rendered by Miss Rose
Somehow, after which the President
of the Board of Education, Mr.. j. b.
Montgomery, in some well chosen re-
marks presented the diplomas To the
graduates and the High School closed
the exercises with an appropriate chorus
called Good Night Beloved"

THE ALLIANCE SKELETON.

Some allowance may be necessary for
the declarations of McGrath, the deposed
president of the State Alliance, upon the
idea of personal disappointment at his
being defeated for reelection to that
position, but notwithstanding all that.
what AlcGrath says has great deal OF
truth in it. The change of conditions.
personally, gives him the opportunity to
say frankly what he has known all the
time but which it was impoiltic for him
to utter so long as he was the head of
the organization. He admits the grad
ual disintegration of the Alliance as a
political party in this state, and gives as
one of the reasons for it the predominant
ing influence of the anarchistic element
IN the party's control. In reference to
this McGrath said, in an interview pub
lished in the Kansas City Journal:
1.-THE Vincents, he said are Anarchists,
who believe in force and lawlessness and
in denouncing as scOundrels all who do
not hold to their belief. They believe in
desperate measures. They are Union
Laborites, Videttes and Anarchists, al
though must say some of my warmest
friends belong to the Union Labor party.
Noah Allen is jackleg lawyer who
never had any practice until he got at
the head of the so-called protective as
ISOLATION, which is really a swindle, a
systematic scheme to bleed the farmers,
and especially that class that can least
afford to be bled."
And much more is said by him in the
same strain showing the insincerity and
deep seated scheming of Mrs. Lease and
her mortgage protective association
which he denounces as a plan for re-
pudiation.' Mr.. McGrath also says, and
he ought to know, that the membership
of the Alliance has fallen off nearly
fifty per cent during the last year under
the influence of the political wire pullers
who have gained control in its councils.
All of which are the premonltorv symp-
toms of the overwhelming defeat of the
men who have presumed to build party
upon credulity and prejudice.
A vote for any candidate put up for
public office by that following is an en-
dorse ment of all its revolutionary prin-
ciples and methods and an encourage
ment for the continued efforts of that
organization to gain the ascendency, a
contamination no good citizen can
afford to lend his assistance to bring

GRADES FOE KANSAS WHEAT.

The announcement was made few
days ago, and is still going the rounds
of the state press, that the wheat COM
mittee of the Baltimore Commission and
Flour exchange has established grades
for Kansas hard winter wheat as follows:
No. hard winter wheat-Shall consist
of the hard varieties, and shall be sound
dry and reasonably clean, and weigh not
less than fifty-eight pounds to the
measured bushel. Winchester standard.
No. hard winter whest-Shall be sound
and reasonably clean, unfit TO grade No. 2
hard, but weighing not less than fifty-tive
pounds to the measured bushel Win
chester standard.
For the Baltimore market the grades
thus fixed are probably all right and
will very likely prove satisfactory to
that market, but they are not to be ac-
cepted in Kansas in lieu of the grades
established by our own grain inspectors.
There is this that can be said in favor of
the Baltimore grades. however: they fix
the weight of Kansas wheat at from two
to five pounds less to the bushel than
has been attempted to be fixed by some
other out-of-the-state boards. But the
standard of quality and weight for
Kansas wheat as fixed by the state
board will be adhered to in the home
narkets

From the Kansas City Journal, 9th.
A week from today ends the political
campaign for the year, and the result will
tell on the business of the country in two
ways. II will allow everybody toattend
to business, and confidence will be at
fected more or less.
New York and Ohio will be the states
most influential as to national politics
and finance. If the Republicans carry
New York it means almost conclusively
that the next administration will be
Republican-so far as the presidential
office is concerned. If Ohio Is Republi-
can it tells the story of permanency in
finances, and that the business of tine
country can go on expanding. money
seek investment in new directions and
new industries and a season of general
prosperity follow.
In Kansas the result will be the meas
ure of the growth or stability of the
new movement, and as the vote is,
so will the country discount the ~
ture of the Alliance as a factor
in national policy or parties.
In Iowa and Nebraska the result will
simply measure the force of a different
-prohibition-and its place In
the political horoscope Of the future.
1t is fact that years of practical OBJ
servation has established, that assured
Republican ascendency in the legislation
of the country inspires business, COM
mercial and financial confidence. And
it has always been a mystery why bust
ness men will rejoice at Republican sue
cess and vote other tickets. Yet they
do that very thing year after year. Pre-
iudice Is after all more potent IN human
affairs than self-interest-for 1t so often
blinds US to what is for cur best interest.
Voters-"the people"-are but aggrega-
tions of these preiudices, more or less,
and it is not always that wisdom Is found
in majorities. More often wisdom comes
from reaction than action. Last fall
we had the action Of prejudice, and
next week win tell US how Tar reaction
has gone.

THE REAL SITUATION.

AS the day of election approaches and
the situation in the townships of the
county becomes more clearly defined it
grows very certain that the fight for
sheriff is between Ault and the Alliance
candidate and that the Democratic nomi-
nee for sheriff, Mr.. Mosbacher, is not in
it. This may prove somewhat astonish-
ing to some people 10 the city. probably,
but yet it is not surprising. The Demo
Gratis, outside of the city, with the ex-
ception of the German settlements, are
mostly Alliance and for Slower. With
the exception Of three townships Mos
hacker is hardly mentioned as candi-
date. In at least twenty-five townships
the fight is between the Republican NOM
inee, Ike Ault, and the calamity candi-
date, Slower. Mosbacher TO hold
his own, would have to carry
the city by at least two
thousand. an utter impossibility, as
all will agree, and nobody denies that
the city is really the other way and Re
publican by at least seven hundred votes.
So it will be seen by everyone that Mos
bacher is not in it, And it will be farther
seen that every Republican vote cast
for Mosbacher is half vote for Slower,
the Calamity candidate. There is no
mistake about any of this. Any Repub-
lican in this city who has thought of
voting for Charley Mosbacher out of
will find, if he looks up the
as it really exists, that his vote
will not be for Mosbacher, but against
Ault and in favor of Slower. For Slower
has Ault to beat and every vote that
Ault loses helps Slower just that much.
