II Might Have Been.


Niron Waterman.
The sun went down In a blood-red cloud,
The wind breathed low, harsh sigh,
And strange, wei-d veil, like a somoer shroud
Hung down from the murky sky;
The house dogs bayed at the angry moon
That shed dim, sad light
And the crickets chirped a doleful tune
To the ghosts above that night.
It was such a night as brave men hate, r.
Wh5n the darkness seems to hide rs
But dimly shapes that congregate,
Or through the shadows glide;
No star to point the traveller home,
No light on land or sea
A night when ghost and witch and gnome
Hold fiendish revelry.
Through Dead Mans Gulch by the haunted
mill
That stands like q specter white.
With its broken arms so gaunt and still,
A f0otmRn passed that night.
He trudged along till from without
The shadows stood a man;
But the footman did not faint nor shout,
He neither turned nor ran.
He stood his ground, brave to defend
His every act and deed.
Till the shadow spoke and said, my friend,
Can you give me a chew of & weed"
The chew was given-each went his way
There wes neither death nor din,
But I've often thought, alackaday
How sad it might have been.

Tie Ohio Campaign.

The most noticeable thing in the Ohio
campaign thus far is the profound conf
dence which both democrats aud repub-
Ucaps express in their ability to carry the
state for their respective tickets Leading
democrats. whether interviewed in Ohio or
New York city, say there is absolutely no
doubt Of Gov. Campbelis election. And
leading republicans talk the same way.
From the talk, therefore. that appears in
the public prints no reliable opinion can bs
formed of what the political situation is
But there are little things which indicate
that the republicans are not so confident as
they pretend to be. Maj Mckinley is not
talking as much about the tariff as it was
expected he would. Indeed, he says COM
paratively little on that subject. The re-
publican leaders boosted when he was NOM,
mated that he would make the democrats so
sick Of the tariff that they would be glad to
let it alone BE is the one who seems to be
anxious to push the tariff into the back
ground. He has found out, doubtless, that
his tariff is no more popular than it was
last fall when he and other republicans were
defeated in their race for congress-
The Republicans are pushing the silver
question to the front, but the republican
position on silver does not seem to be the
popular one in Ohio. The cry for free sill
yer coinage seems to be about as general
there as it is in the silver-producing states.
The people know very little about the silver
question, but they are impressed with the
idea that free silver coinage will make money
more plentiful, and, hence, cheaper. And,
although the idea that more silver money
will be helpful may be an erroneous one,
still it is fixed in the minds of the people.
Mckinley, therefore, is not likely to gain
anything by side-tracking the tariff and
taking up the silver question.
Gov. Campbell has done very little can
wasting work yet. He is quite ill. and is
confined to his home. He will be on the
stump by Sept. l, however, and then the
campaign will be begun in earnest.
1t is impossible to predict. with any
degree of certainty, the number of
votes the Peoples party will poll. 1t is
claimed that the alliance will vote with that
party, but it is by no means certain that 1t
will There are alliancemen who will vote
the ticket Of the Peoples party, and some
Of the alliance papers are openly edvocat-
ing the claims of that party. but. as yet,
there are no signs to justify the assertion
some of the alliance papers make that the
entire alliance will support the Peoples
party ticket. At present it looks as il Gov.
Campbell and the whole democratic ticket
would be elected by handsome majority.

X ssinR Is Not Killing.

Some superannuated scientist has lately
been trying to impress upon the guileless
youth Of New England that kissing is con-
tagious. That is to say it may convey con-
tagious diseases however cautiously and
circumspectly administered. Danger turks
in the crimson lips of the most charming
damsel, he insists. Keep away from them
as you value your lives, he shouts to the gal
liant youths.
Should the most lovely bud in the whole
rose garden of girls chance to be suffering
from what he calls phlegmonis or a con-
tagious form of tonsilitis the rash young
man who ventured to kiss her would be apt
to contract AN invasion of the glands by
hosts of liptothrix bactertium" Whatever
they may be- which this hard>headed and
heartless scientist persists lis normal in the
mouth" and "is the cause Of this most
troublesome inflammation"
Upon that basis he proceeds to warn the
inexperienced youth that when he happens
to be doing any cooling he should be very
careful not to dip his bill in among these
liptothrix and turn them loose to root ON
his glands.
Yet there are many reckless young men
in this great country of ours who would
take tho desperate risk of starting up
whole swarm of liptothrix for the sake Of
looking upon the summer girl when she
is pink and saluting her with resonant en-
thusiasm.
They would fain believe that science is at
fault aud the blooming damsel about right.
Possibly the subject of the pessimistic
investigators interchangeable experiments
was some antique spinster who
had been masticating past mature cheese
and mingling the consequent fragra nee of
that epicurean dainty with the fumes of
onions in his own respiration naturally may
have led him to suspect that their respira-
tory condition was so horrible that disas-
trous consequences might reasonably ensue.
Alarming symptoms might easily be dis
covered in such a case that would lead an
| excited mind to erroneous conclusions.
This Interpretation of the result of the
experiments is fully sustained by the delib-
| crate opinion expressed by the mere youth
full and hopeful and less hardened medical
mind in control of the Chicago Medical Re
| porter. Rigid asspsis is by no means an es'
| 5cnLAAl eloluChb Al JUG OpSIhIAOh Va OoCuIu-
ton, in his good judgment. That he I'M
reservedly declares with cheering enthusi,
| asm-
Moreover he asserts that according to
his perfectly professional and altogether re-
liable views based upon observation in his
practice he is constrained to express the
opinion that ''as light and healthful sys
tenn OF calisthentics, means of innocent
and soulful recreation, a stimulus to intel
lectual and spiritual ambition, the process,
of OSCILLATION cannot be surpassed"
Doctors here disagree apparently as muct
as upon other subjects.
But the western nedico's views are mani
testify far the more plausible aud pleasaa
as well as progressive. So they are more
likely to be generally accepted. 1t will b,
very hard for that cross old doctor to max,
young people believe they can be killed with
kisses
