The Ohio Convention.

The Ohio Republicans have just held
their state conveHtion and nominated
candidates for state officers. Major
VIM. Mckinley, Jr., stands at the
head of the list as candidate for gov
ernor. His nomination may be consld-
cred an emphatic endorsement by the
republicans of Ohio of those tariff meas
ures with which McKinley's name has
become indissolubly linked. 1t viii be
remembered that at the last congress-
;onal election Mckinley was defeated
bv a sharp democratic trick. From
the moment he lost his seat in Congress
il has been a growing certainty that he
would be made the standard bearer OF
republican principles in Ohio. Inc
democrats made mistake when they
comnassed his defeat at the last cleo
t;on but this is only in line with their
General course. The way was all pre-
nsred for Mr.. Mckinley. About all

we are sugar eating people. Sta
tisticians have figured on the amount
of rum we drink, the pounds of tobac-
co we chew, the number of cigars we
smoke, the oxen we swallow and near
ly everything else that goes to make up
the human corpus. Now comes the
statement that last year Louisiana har-
vested 440, 100000 pounds of sugar,
which of course we consumed. But
this was mere bagatelle compared TO
the whole amount, for we imported in
the month Of April last 457 10000
pounds, and this is not far from the av-
erage monthly importation. Besides,
we make a few million pounds of ma
pie and beet sugar. But what is this
SO many? 1t gives several pounds
each to all our healthy citizens Of su-
age. 1t is cheap now, thanks
to the Mckinley bill. No democrat is
mad because he can carry home twen-
ty pounds for one dollar where former
ly the same money would buy only ten
or eleven. Great is Mckinley the fu-
ture governor of Ohio.

New York has been trying to pass
some kind Of law to tax inheritances,
if it did not succeed. OF course this
makes talk in other states in regard to
undertaking the same thing. 1t IS a
very fine idea. The next move is to
tax a man when he comes into the
world. When he gets ready to go he
may not have anything and his corpus
is no good and while he may not pos
sess anything when he arrives there
are certain possibilities inherent in him
which give him a prospective value.
We suppose the taxing of inheritances
is one of those methods by which it is
proposed to encourage the accumula-
ton of property for the benefit OF ones
descendants. 1t has been a common
remark for some time that funerals had
become so expensive that a poor man
could not afford to die, this inheritance
tax is simply the raising of the boat
mans fee in the case of the rich. The
scheme is step towards con-
fiscation. OF course if the state has a
right to take part of what one leaves,
it has a right to take the whole, and
this would bring us on the ground held
by some reformers, that all property
upon the decease of the owners ought
to revert to the state and each genera
ton start anew. We think the state
would make more out of the business,
and the ''overtaxed farmers" would OBJ
tain greater relief if there should be
law requiring every man to make his
will and then demand of the lawyers
ore half the profits of breaking them.

TennJson's Barber Talks.

One Of the most communicative among
Lord Tennyson's Deighbors is the village
barber, who, like most of his kind, adapts
himself to many trades and callings. This
tonsorial artist is also il demand at enter
tainments for the display of his talent as a
conjurer. On a certain occasion he was
invited to give an exhibition before Tenny-
son and small party of guests, and he
tells with supreme satisfaction how he
puzzled the great poet by one of his feats
of prestidigitation. 1t seems that he
counted out ten shillings into Lord Ten
nyson's hand, telling him to hold them
tightly. But few minutes afterward,
when he required the money again, there
were only eight shillings. The look of
establishment on his lordship's face was
indescribable, while the laughter of the
other guests at the situation was unmis-
takably hearty. In this hilarity, it is need
less to say. the poet most good temperedly
joined.
With the license usually claimed by such
performers, the amateur professor of
legerdemain said: II don't doubt yer hon.
esty, my lord, but gave you ten shillings.
l will now try her ladyship''-with the re-
suit, of course, that he found more than he
wanted. At the conclusion of the enter
tainment, Lord Tennyson expressed his
pleasure at the exhibition, and did so, as
the delighted barber tells his friends, il

lage that it can boast Of such talent"-

the personnel of the traffic and operating
departments will be unchanged. The gen

Hay Rates.


Special to the Gazette.
PARIS, LAMAR COUNTY, TEX. ,Sept. 1S.-
Capt r. j. Berry of Brookstcn, one Of the
largest hay raisers, if not the largest, in the
state, can't figure out much benefit TO his
business from commission rates. Capt.
Berry says:
There are about one thousand carloads
Of corn and hay shipped annually from La
mar county. Last week the freight on .
car of hay to Galveston OF San
Antonio was $50 ard $35 respect
lively This week it is $50. Last week
the rate to Huntsville was $35; this week
it is $4S. 1t may be contended that the rate
is lower to Bowie, Cass and Marion counties
than before but not more than one car In
fifty finds a market in these counties. The
largest markets are in Southeastern, South
ern. Southwestern and Western Texas, to
al of which the rates have been raised
from 20 TO 40 per cent.
The principal corn, oats and hay ex-
porting counties are Lamar, Fann!n, Hunt,
Kaufman, Van Zandt, Dallas, ELS, Collin,
Grayson, Denton. Johnson, Hill, McLen-
nan, Tarrant, Bell and Williamson. The
rates from Lamar are from IL to 40
per cent higher than the counties
named, which are her competitors, the
rates from Lamar being about the same as
those from the Indian Territory and but
little lower than Kansas rates. In fact,
Lamar county is hurt on her cotton rates as
bad Last year the compressed cotton rate
was 20 cents to Galveston; this year it is
20 cents, and to all other points the rates
are raised from 3 to q cents per 100 pounds.

This new tariff vii! not go into effect for

tremely bad faith shown by the railway
men III this matter of the cotton rates. 1t
