Serious Danger

Threatens every man, woman or child
living in a region of country where
fever and ague is prevalent, since the
germs of malarial disease are inhaled
from the air and are swallowed from the
water of such region. Medicinal safe

this danger. As means of fortifying
and acclimating the system so as to be
able to resist the malarial poison, Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is incomparably

PLENTY OF MONEY IN USE.


Cleveland Leader.
The official monthly statement by the
Treasury Department of the amount of
United States coin and currency in the
hands of the people shows gain of
50, ,550,9O3 in the circulating medium
in the month of September. This is an
increase of about J per cent. That is
to say, the gain was at the rate of not
less than Is per cent. year, and. if con-
tinued, it would add the vast sum of
S294.000,000 to the amount of money in
use in single year. The rate of growth
of the population of the United States
is now not more than p per cent. a
year, and the increase in the amount of
money in circulation was, therefore, over
seven times as rapid, proportionally, as
the increase in the number of persons
who use it.
What more can the inflationists ask?
Every intelligent man knows that the
tendency of modern business methods is
constantly toward the more extended
use of such devices as the clearing
houses of the banks in large cities, and
the credit system in general trade which
greatly decreases the need of actual
money in ordinary transactions, and less
coin or currency is required to settle
many transfers running into millions
than would have been absolutely neces-
sary generation since to dispose of
trades not one-tenth as great. In pro-
portion to the volume of business less
money is needed than ever before, but it
was never so necessary that tie quality
of the legal tender in use should be
above criticism. The same vast credit
system and complex structure of trade
and finance which render possible the
handling of the worlds business with
comparatively little money makes the
peril and folly of using any but the very
best of coin and paper tenfold greater
than in the past.

COUNTY TICKET.
wATcHFULNEss NECESSARY.

There is no doubt that the Democrats
behind the apparent attempt to elect
Governor Campbell have but little hope
of such an outcome, but are straining
every muscle to secure the Legislature.
They will secretly practice every trick
to gain a vote for their Representative
Democratic speakers, among whom Gov.
Campbell is foremost, are seeking to
spread discomfort among farmers, al
though they have to resort to the vilest
falsehoods to sustain their arguments.
But Democratic Legislature means
much more than mere majority in the
law making body. 1t means the sale of
another Senatorship. 1t means that the
Democrats will grab all or majority of
the electoral vote of Ohio next year. and
high handed methods will not be
sighted, if necessary. 1t means that
the unfair congressional apportionment
will be perpetuated. There is no ques-
tion that the conspiracy is deeply laid,
and the only safe way is for all Repub-
licans to turn out and vote the straight
ticket, and above all, to repulse any
opportunities to vote for the Democratic
candidate for Representative.

BRIEF AND STRIKING STORIES.
Some are Funny and Some are Not.

ARE RATTLESNAKES DANGEROUS!
Railroad Building on the Texas Front
ier" is the title of an exceedingly inter
esting paper by Mr. George W. Raft
er, C. E.. in the Engineering Magazine
for October. One portion of his paper
will be found especially interesting to
the vendors of snake stories. Upon this
subject he says;
Taylor county, Texas, is the natural
home of the prairie dog, and, per con-
sequence, of the rattlesnake also. The
rattlesnake and the ground owl are
found where the prairie dog lives, and
there is a legend to the effect that the
three dwell peacefully together in the
same burrow. This | believe to be
"a myth so far as the rattlesnake is
concerned. When he takes possession
the others go out, if they can get out,
leaving his snakeship in undisputed pos
session. The owl and the prairie dog
probably do occupy the same hole. As
cool weather came on in the fall the
number of rattleSnakes encountered in
localities where the industry of the prai-
rie dog had furnished home for them
was so great that l refrain from men
tioning it for fear of lying under the
imputation of telling snake stories. l
content myself by saying that it was
poor day for snakes when one did not
see at least half dozen in days jour
ney. But, in spite of the large number
Of rattleSnakes, not only never saw a
human being who had been bitten by
one, but l cannot now remember ever
meeting any person who, on close queS-
tioning, could truthfully say he had seen
such case. The habit of the snake of
first trying to get away, and, when he
finds himself too closely pressed, of coil
ing and sounding the warning rattle, is
probably the real season why so few are
bitten. Five feet in length is a large
rattler. and one-half his length is the
limit of striking. presume have come
upon rattlesnakes, and either tantaliZed
them with flagpole myself or witness
ed it by members of my party, at least
hundred times, and, with one except
ion, the snake was willing enough to re-
treat if allowed TO. The exception was
a large rattler in the Sand Hills, who, as
we came upon him, was just preparing
to make dinner of kangaroo rat. He
not only defended his dinner, but ad-
vanced toward the enemy, viciously coil
ing and striking. 1t seems to me that an
angry rattler comes nearer typifying the
incarnate spirit of viciousness than any
other object in nature.

PUBLIC OPINION.
WILL HE APOLOGIZE?

Cleveland Leader
If Governor Campbell and the Demo-
cratic party were not hopeleSsly dull
they would acknowledge the truth re-
garding tin plate. 1t is already an
established fact that we can make both
terne and tin plate of as good quality
as is made in Wales, and over thirty
mills are now in process of construction
in this country for that purpose. Gov.
Campbell has been presented with box
of as good tin plate as ever was used in
the United States, and if he will take
the trouble TO read the testimonials that
accompanied it he will see that the trade
generally is well pleased with the Amer
ican product and that the mill has more
orders than it can fill.
Under these conditions he ought to do
the manly thing by the people and the
Republican party and admit the facts.
Unless he is dull beyond all comprehen-
sion and frightfully stupid he must see
the faulty OF longer attempting to
maintain the untenable and absurd
position that we can not make tin plate
in the United States. The evidence in
support of the protectionist and Repub-
lican position grows more overwhelming
every day, and as the Governor has
promised to apologize if proved to be in
the wrong, the apology ought to be
forthcoming at once. 1t can do the
Democrats no good for them longer to
maintain their know-nothing policy on
this subject. The people are not to be
duped about it. They can recognize
facts, and the proof of our ability to
make all kinds of tin plate is abundant
and satisfactory.
However, we have no hope that the
Democrats will admit what must already
be clear to them, or that Governor
Campbell will own up. The same old
lie will be repeated until the end of the
campaign, although every intelligent
man will know its falsity. That is the
only principle the Democratic party was
ever known to stick to campaign after
campaign--the belief that lie continu-
ally reiterated is as good as the truth.
The Republicans can take comfort, how
ever, in knowing that no one is likely
to be deceived by it, and that in the end
it must react strongly against the Dem
Ocratic cause

EVERY man who has a dollar saver

EVERY man who has dollar saved
would be injured by free coinage of
silver. On every dollar the laboring
man has laid away in a savings bank or
building association, twenty to twenty
four cents would be lost. He has paid
in dollar worth 100 cents and he would
receive in return dollar worth seventy
six to eighty cents. On him more than
any other would fall the evils of on
deprecated currency. A man who is
now receiving ten dollars week, under
free coinage would receive the value of
about eight dollars. Those who deal in
the necessaries of life could put up the
price on them much more easily than
the laboring man could force up his
wages. The former would be a quick
process, while the latter would take
time and effort. To none others would
free coinage be so disastrous as to the
laboring man depending upon his weekly
wages for support.

LINCOLN'S DRESS.

j. C. NicOlay in Century.
There, as in his fathers cabin, or New
Salem, or Vandalia, or Springfield, the
man Lincoln never gave a fraction of
thought or a moment of care to any
question of dress. He followed tn e
ordinary fashion and wore what the
tailor, halter, and boot maker made for
him. And so clad, the humblest citizen
stood in his presence without awe, and
the highest dignitaries with perfect re-
spect.
The world has yet to learn that Gener-
al Scott, or Lord Lyons, or Bishop Simp-
son, or Prince Napoleon, or Archbishop
Hughes, or the Comte de Paris, or Chief
Justice Taney ever felt humiliated by
the dress or want of dignity of President
Lincoln in State ceremonial or private
audience. Inc eyes OF THESE mon 1unro
not upon the tailor's suit of broadcloth,
but upon the President and the man,
and in such scrutiny Lincoln ontrank-
ed any mortal who ever questioned him
eye to eye in his long and strange ca
reer from New Salem to the Blue Room
of the White House.
AS with his dress, so with his manner.
Tempered and modified by the gravity
of added years, and an ever widening
experience among varied social classes
and conditions in many parts of the
Union, it nevertheless retained to the
last strong impress of the essential
characteristics of the frontier -simplici-
ty, directness, and sincere heartiness.
He never learned and never used mean
ingless or misleading conventional phras-
es. He would say 81 am glad to see
you" He would never say 81 am charm
ed to see YOU
He always greeted his visitors with a
cordial shake of the hand and winning
look or smile, unless, as very rarely hap
pened, his mind was weighed down with
a preoccupation of overwhelming care
and suspense. He always listened with
patience, even when the request OF his
petitioner might be frivolous or foolish
That he was fond of wit, and jest, and
laughter the world already knows. He
gave others courtesy, kindness, and con-
sideration to the last degree, and never
by word or look assumed that he de
manded them for himself.
