Sherman May Lose His Seat

There is always political fight ON hand
in Ohio. And the fights are generally in
teresting. There are so many men there,
both among the democrats and republicans,
who are sufficiently prominent to command
recognition from their respective parties,
that it would be strange if there were peace
in political circles for any considerable
length of time.
Foraker, Mckinley and Sherman are
having a sort Of triangular fight for the
seat in the Senate which Sherman has occu-
pied 50 long. Foraker wants it. and so does
Mckinley, aud Sherman doesn't intend to
give it up if he can help it.
The legislature which is to be elected next
fall will choose Sherman's successor. For
aker is advocating a change in the federal
constitution that will permit the election of
senators by the people. And the proposed
change seems to meet with a great deal of
favor. 1t is urged that under the present sys-
tenn too many men buy their way into the
Senate, but that if senators were elected by
the people money would not be factor in
senatorial elections. There is force in this
argument. and it strikes the popular mind
favorably.
But as the constitution cannot be changed
at once Foraker proposes that the state con-
vention shall name the man whom the leg
stature shall elect senator. In this propo>
sition he shows his -shrewdneSs He is a
better politician than Sherman, and is pop
ular with the rank and file Of his party. If
it should be agreed that the state couven-
ton should name the senator he would get
the prize, probably. But Sherman and his
friends will never agree to anything of that
kind.
But what is MoKinley's claim to the SEN
atorship? It seems that at the Chicago
national convention Sherman promised him
to stand out Of the way in the next sens
atorial fight when a republican could be
elected, and to do what he could to have
him elected senator. This promise was
made when Sherman, being a presidential
candidate, feared treacbery from Foraker
and needed McKinley's assistance. 1t is
now said that Sherman is trying to evade
his promise to Mckinley. He and his
friends would like to help make Mckinley
governor and get rid of him in that way.
The fight between the three men is a very
pretty one and grows in interest. 1t would
not be surprising, however, if Sherman
should be the successful candidate A very
long head has Sherman.

Color is Not a Valid Claim.

One OF the best answers to the solicitous
inquiries as to whats best for the advance
ment Of the negro is found in the statistics
Of several southern states, which tell of the
property accumulated and the education
acquired by many Of the most industrious
Of them. That's the way for the negro to
advance. MAKE move. There's nothing
like it. That's the only way the white man
can get ahead.
When the negro editors assembled in Gin
cinnati recently they INDUCED in great
deal Of loud lamentation at the alleged in
crease of the so-called southern outrages,n
and what they are pleased to call the wrongs
of their race. On every available occasion
the professional negroes make bcsi-
ness of finding grievances for their brethren
to resent, and live by bemoaning their woes
and matchmaking the greedy politicians
who get offices and refuse to divide with
them. Offices are really about the worst
thing they could get Whites come to
be utterly worthless for the active work of
making living after few terms of office
holding. Negroes grow even worse because
OF their natural incidence. Work is the
best thing for them. Quiet self-reliance
and work will give them standing they
could not acquire in any other way.
Let the negro remember that public
office is bestowed upon aspirants for one of
two reasons. Either the appolntee is in
favor with the appointing power or his
qualifications are so superior as to render
his services very desirable if not indIs-
pensable. 1t is far better to rely upon
pr ctical qualifications But it is we'll to
bear in MUD that those who appoint prefer
their own friends. Merely being a negro
doesn't render an applicant essentially de-
sirable, and the sooner the negro realizes
that the better for him.
If be wants to ''claim his own" the very
best course he can adopt is to go to work
aud own something to claim.

THE LOST WAIF.
The Str ange Midnight Experience of

an xpress Messenger.
From the Detroit Free Press.
The night express went laundering out of
Hopkinsville, KY, at z o'clock sharp. The
passengers had made themselves comfort
able. and everything seemed suspicious for
quick and safe return to Nashville, Tenn.
The express messenger busted himself about
his packages, getting bis car in order, after
which, having nothing else to do he
sauntered to the open window and looked out
at the rising moon. What glorious night
it was. The full moon came up from be-
hind the trees and hung over their tops like
ball Of fire. How sweet and peaceful
everything looked. The thoughts of the
young man went back to home and mother.
Whipped in delightful dream he sank
down on the box nearest to him, but sud-
denly he jumped up in alarm, for he had
heard a remarkable sound-a poor faint lit
tie voice crying Papa"
Oh. what cruel trick for the bows to
play on him. He must find the little one
at once. de searched every nook and
corner, and looked behind every box. but
no baby was to be found.
What was he to do? He felt certain that
he had heard the voice. and something
must be done. All, he had it at last He
rung the bell with all his might, and the
conductor came hurridly to know what had
happened.
The passengers were all excitement: win
dows went up, heads were poked out, and
every one had a surmiSe, fully one,half of
them thinking it must be robbers.
When the conductor returned he told
them that the express messenger had heard
the cry of a child IN his car, and he inquired
if any child were missing. This threw all
mothers present into panic of fright. But
trey soon recovered when they saw that nil
their own darlings were safe, and every
woman expressed the greatest sympathy for
the little stranger in the express city. They
even volunteered to go and assist in the
search for the little lost waif, but to this the
conductor would not consent
The young man in the express car was
meanwhile doubling the evide ce OF his own
senses, for had he not heard the voice? He
could swear to it. Slowly be sinks down on
the same box when, merciful heavens. there
was the voice again, crying Mamma"
All, he has it now. The voice comes from

Republican politicians of North Dakota
have started a great bugaboo scare over the
imaginary efforts of the democrats to cap
ture political control of the state through
an alleged whisky ring in st. Paul and
Chicago. Such ring, if it has any exist
ence. could easily find a much more desir-
able field for the expenditure Of its efforts
and its funds then North Dakota will be for
some years to come. But some sort of a
clamor is necessary to revive and retain
party allegiance So there it is.
