A WASHINGTON special says: "The
clerks in the Census Bureau are now
engaged in copying the reports received
from Ohio farmers relative to their
mortgage Indebtedness. After fixin g
up all the spaces in the blank form
furnished them there is a wide space left
for general remarks" A clerk said
to-day that in almost every instance
the Ohio farmer has availed himself of
the opportunity to add some general
remarks, and the space for that purpose
is usually filled with severe denu.ria-
tion of Mckinley and his tariff hill.
So general is this that it has attract ed
attention in the Census Bureau, and
the clerks, although Republicans, dis
cuss it among themselves, and some
are apprehensive that it is an in dica-
tion that the Major, if nominated for
governor by the Republican state con-
vention at Columbus next week, will
not prove as strong candidate as Re-
publicans generally believe he will"
Mckinley is the Republican candidate
for governor, now let the independent
farmer assert his rights, and vote for
his interests, by cutting the champion
of high protection at the election in
| November.

IN essence the Alliance movement is
Democratic. 1t is a protest against
monopoly, class discrimination and all
the wiles by which Plutocracy seeks
to intrench itself against popular right.
But the men who lead and the men
who follow it in those states where it
is strongest have always been Repub-
licans. They have been accustomed to
regard alliance with Democracy as
something discreditable, something to
reflect upon mans patriotism and to
cost him his standing in society and
even in the church. Their revolt,
therefore, against the evil courses and
tendencies of Republican rule takes
first the form of an Independent move
ment. But its better purposes and its
righteous desires for relief from the
oppression of Plutocracy party are
essentially Democratic, and in due
time its strength will marshal itself
upon the Democratic side.

Democratic Party Should Reap the
Reward.

The New York World has the follow
ing to say about the record made by
our legislature: "The Ohio Democrats
have furnished an object lesson to the
politicians of both parties. They have
had control of the state government,
Including both branches of the legisla-
ture. An important election will be
held in the state next fall, and the
party will go to the people on a record
made in the discharge of public duties.
The Democratic legislature has fulfilled
the promises upon which the party OBJ
tanned control of the state government.
1t has bestowed home rule on the cities
of the state, it has revised the tax laws,
and it has enacted first rate ballot
reform law. 1t has acted throughout
its recent session in accordance with
the wishes and aspirations of the best
citizens of Ohio. The best public ser
vice is the best politics. The Demo-
cratic legislature of Ohio has won the
confidence of the people by attending
diligently to the public interests and
the party is very likely to reap the re-
ward of virtues"

ANOTHER terrible railroad catastro-
phe is to be recorded. 1t occurred on
the 5th on the Kanawha d Michigan
Railway near Charleston, w. Va. The
train was filled with excursionists for
Columbus and had just passed over a
high trestle. The sleepers had caught
fire during the night and burned so
that the rails spread under. the train.
The engine and baggage and mail car
passed over safely, but the two coaches
were thrown from the track. After
running some forty feet on the sleepers
the forward car toppled to the left, the
rear one to the right, and the forward
car turned completely over, landing
right side up. The other fell some
twenty feet, turning upside down, and
one set of tracks fell on top of 1t, crush
ing the car to splinters. Thirteen per-
sons were killed outright and forty
some wounded, many of whom will
die.

JOHN w. MACKAY, one of the Bo-
nanza Kings, is said to be interested in
the laying of cable between Brazil
and the United States, and he has en-
ployed Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, who
only works for big fees, to secure the
support of the administration for a
scheme by which it is hoped to secure
large subsidy from the United States
for the proposed cable. Mr.. Mackay
seems to have forgotten that the Dem
ocratic party, which controls the
House of Representatives, is opposed to
government subsidies ofany kind. Mr..
Mackay is the reputed owner of many
millions of dollars, if he thinks cable
to Brazil would be a good investment
why does he not go ahead and lay it
with his own money?

AFrightful Railroad Accident.

A frightful and most horrible rail-
road wreck occurred at Ravenna, Ohio
at the Erie depot, on the morning Of
the Sd. A vestibuled train was stand
ing at the depot at about 8 o'clock on
the fatal morning, while the engineer
and fireman were making some neces'
sary repairs. During the halt the con-
ductor ordered fireman out and sup.
posed everything was all right, but the
fireman simply went to the rear of the
train and no further. The passenger
train had been standing about eighteen
minutes when the freight train darted
into the rear end, telescoping two
coaches and running third. The
wreck Immediately took fire and the
screams of the entombed and mangled
passengers were heartrending. The
wreck resulted in the instant death Of
nineteen persons and the injuring Of
some forty. Most of the dead were
from Corning, New York, being glass
blowers on their way home from Find
lay, Ohio, as the factories had CLOSED
down for the season. The blame il
laid to the fagman, in not going back
far enough to warn the freight train ir
time. None of the railroad crews were
injured. 1t is one of the most frightfu
railroad accidents which ever occurred
within the boarders of the state. Ra
VIENNA, the scene of the accident, is {
small town twenty miles east of Akron
in Portage county, on the Pittsburg ant
Western and Erie Railroads.

GEN. JOHN BEATTY, who is as fear
less in civil life as he was when facing
the enemy in the field, sends letter
to the Columbus Post in which, after
declaring that Foraker's administra-
ton as governor was the weakest,
meanest and uncleanest Ohio has
known for generation," thus speaks
of Gov. Gampbell:
Governor Campbell may have made
mistakes, but the manliness of bearing,
in attention to public duties, in courtesy
to those who call at the executive Of
flee on official business, in dispassion-
ate and intelligent consideration OF
public affairs, in courageous treatment
of incompetent or dishonest appoin-
tees, in cool, deliberate, methodical
action, and in earnest desire to main
tain the honor of the state and pro-
mote its prosperity, he has had no
superior in the gubernatorial office
within the past fifteen years. He is
not only better than his party, but
stronger, and if Foraker thinks any
body is going to have-to use his own
boastful language-'a glorious feast, f"
"a pleasing time,n "a sort of restful
recreation" !" in dissecting Campbell, he
thinks the thoughts ofa fool.

THE great temperance lecturer,
Cough, formed taste for books in his
early life while he was following the
trade of bookbinder, and years after
when fame and money had come to
him, he gathered a valuable library al
his house in Worchester, Massachusetts,
Many of the books were artistically
bound under his direction, with in.
serted illustrations, autographs, and
other matter. Now the collection and
house are to be sold, so that the prop
erty may be divided among the heirs
of Mr.. and Mrs. Cough.

Gov. Campbell Endorsed.

We believe every Democrat in Hen
ry county will say "Amen" to the en-
dorsement of their County Central
Committee of the administration of
Gov. Campbell. The recognition OF
our chief executive of the state is de-
served, as Mr.. Campbell has made an
upright, honorable and honest gov
ernor. Even his political enemies ac-
cord him that, and the people general
ly look upon him as an ideal executive
official and man. That he is thorough
ly Democratic, and in accord with the
views advocated by his party, his past
record shows, and his party honors him
for the gallant fight he waged against
the blatant demagogue and ballot-box
forger Foraker, two years ago, and for
this, even for no other cause, they are
willing to honor him further.

The sugar bounty is not tariff. 1t
is spoliation of the treasury for special
classes and interests which are no more
entitled to be aided by the govern
ment than the farmers of Iowa in rails
ing hogs or corn or the pioneer settlers
of the frontier in the hardships and
sufferings as the vanguard of civiliza-
tion.-Iowa Democratic Platform.
This is center shot from state that
the tariff and subsidy lords have been
in the habit of fooling. Evidently
the McKinleys are going to have as
serious time in Iowa this year as they
had last. 1t would not be bad thing
to adopt this same platform at Cleve-
land.

ALTHOUGH the administration had
an excellent opportunity to define its
position on the question of continuing
the coinage of the standard silver dol
lar it declined to accept it, and has
climbed aud straddled the fence on the
question by deciding that, owing to
work having been p. divided for the
mints for about four months from July
LIST, by acts Of the last Congress provid-
ing for the recoinage of the trade dollar
bullion and the old and abraded frac-
tional silver coin on hand, the ques-
tion is not now a practical one. 1t
might just as well have been honest
enough to have said, lowing to its
probable effect in the important cam.
paigns in Ohio, Iowa, New York and
elsewhere, it is deemed expedient tC
defer action upon this matter until il
is too late for it to injure Republican
prospects," for that is just the con
struction that all unprejudiced voter:
will put upon its cowardly position.

Beware nrRnnanas.

The banana bunch is the harbor foI
the most poisonous aud vicious Of our
spider creation, the tarantula. AS an
exemplification Of the effect Of their
bite and their habitatlon, we clip the
following from the Pain Dealer:
Mrs. Joseph Urmetz, Of No. 10
Rhodes avenue Is suffering intense
agony from the bite of q venOmous Ia
rantula, one Of the little creatures that
so frequently hide among the golden
bananas awaiting their opportunity 10
pounce down on the unsuspecting.
Last Monday evening Mrs. Urmetz
stepped into grocery at the corner OF
Clark avenue and Pearl street. Her
little girl strayed into the street aud
was nearing the car track when Mrs.
Urmetz became frightened at seeing an
approaching street car and started after
the child.
Above the door hung two large
punches of bananas, one of which she
touched with her hat as she hurried
out. The slight shake brought down q
tarantula, crawling down her right
cheek and lodged on her neck, where
it inflicted painful bite. In her ex
citement she struck the reptile with
her hand, smashing it over a larger
space, and every place it touched q
terrible sore spot was left. Mrs. Urmei2
hurried to physician, who said that
the case would have been incurable haC
treatment been delayed fifteen minutes
longer. The neck swelled to an enor
nous size and rapidly spread to the
right arm and side and is now grad
ually spreading to all parts of the body
Any irritation causes the most in
tense pain. Mrs. Urmetz is improving
as rapidly as possible under the circum
stances, but is assured that she will no
be wholly relieved of the pain for sevel
months at least.

JOHN G. SHEFFIELD, of Bellevue, o.,
who was a candidate for state treasurer
before the Republican convention, when
asked regarding Republican chances
for success this year said: "Well it is
pretty hard to say. Ohio of course is
naturally Republican state from any
where from 10000 to 10000. How this
high tariff bill is going to work on the
people, what the Farmers Alliance
will accomplish, and how the new bal
lot law will work, are all uncertain and
will all have an effect. If Maj. McKin-
ley does not carry the state by IL 900 or
over will not consider it much of an
endorsement for the Mckinley BILL"

IF old Republican papers were as
honest and outspoken as the Philadel.
phia Telegraph, one of the leading Re-
publican papers of that city, such
whipper-snappers as Foraker would
have but little following. Hear how

Foraker, a cheap political trickster,
a demagogue of the baser sort, ped
dler of offices for forged campaign doc,
uments-forged to defeat his opponent
sitting in the seat of John Sherman,
would be at once the most grotesque
and the most shameful spectacle that

presented, not John Sherman, but
Ohio, the country, would suffer the ig.

THAT'S very pretty summer story
which alleges that if Mr., Harrison is
called upon to veto free coinage bill
next winter he will decline to again be
a candidate for President, because he
knows that he would not receive the
votes Of those Republicans who favor
free coinage, but it lacks the element
of plausibility. If Mr.. Harrison is not
the candidate of his party the only
reason will be that the party will not
let him.

manner In which they expiated the
crime was electrocution. It is claimed
that death was instantaneous, but as all
