Now that Mr. Mckinley is gov

workingmen will be Immediately in
creased. Courier-J ournal.
THE Mckinleyites are disposed to
look upon the republican victory in
Ohio as a vindication of the high tariff
law and fondly imagine that success was
directly due to the efforts of the major

pie of protection Globe.
The one hundred million dollar
decline in the value of agricultural
property in Ohio under the highest
tariff ever known does not appear to
have been mentioned by the republican
spell binders in the Mckinley cam
paign.-Louisville Courier ournal.
1t has been a great victory. It's
fruits will not be fully garnered until
year hence the united democracy of
the Empire state shall restore a demo-
cratic national administration and
democratic congress to Washington,
whence bribery and coercion extruded
them three years ago.-Albany Argus.
Ohio simply stands still. 1t was
the rest of the states which last year
condemned the Mckinley tariff by
more than one million three hundred
thousand majority. That verdict
stands unchanged, as New York, Mas
sachusetts and Iowa shown. Y.
World.
Out of five states that elected
governors four were carried by the
democrats. AS for the one state which
adhered to the party of high taxation
it stands as shining example of the
efficacy of concentrating in one spot all
the fat fried from the protected manu-
facturers. -Chicago Times.
Mr.. Sherman's views on finance
and Mr.. Blaine's views on trade reel
procity saved the distinguished hide of
the illustrious author of the wool sched-
ule and the tin-plate schedule, to men
ton no other of his works of art. In
plain tariff contest McKinley's hide
would have been hung on the fence by
Gov. Campbell.-Cnieago News.
There is ample evidence in the
election returns that ''the people"
want the tariff agitation continued de-
spite the threat of ''our peoples dis
pleasure, and that the insufferable ar
rogance of the political puppets of the
plutocratic pocketbook will get the
right sort of rebuke before this agita-
ton ceases.-St Louis Post-Dispatch.
The mere fact that The elections
are over, aside from any consideration
of their results, is good cause for salts

discharge its various functions without

A CRY FOR QUARTER.
McKinley's Queer Method of Educating
the People.

Mr.. Mckinley, who has been elected
governor of Ohio because he was the
author of the ''bravest and best tariff
bill ever framed" according to the high
authority of the Tribune, sends cut
over the country to-day proclama-
ton which begins with this announce
ment: Il am convinced that the judg-
ment of our citizens does not approve
the constant agitation of the tariff is
sue in the face of the fact that it can
accomplish nothing" That is nothing
more nor less than request for ST.
lence on the part of everybody, demo-
Gratis and tariff reformers in particu-
lar, concerning the merits of this same
'tbravest and best tariff ever framed. y
One would suppose that the more a
tariff of that kind were discussed, the
clearer would its beauties shine forth.
This is the view of the Tribune and
other republican authorities, who in

POOR MANAGEMENT

a Live Mans Ideas of the Way to Run an
Opera.
The hustling western merchant with
a pretty good-sized bank account and a
credit that would make even board
of trade man hesitate to call margins
on him, was in the city to buy some
goods, and the travelling man had taken
him to the matinee.
He fdgetted in his seat little as the
soprano sang her best number, and
seemed to be nervous while the tenor
was dong himself proud with his plain
tive song. In fact, nearly all the sing
ing seemed to trouble him. Finally his
companion asked:
Ever heard grand opera before?"
mo, / haven't" he said in burst OF
confidence" and / want to say right
now that I'd like to have the manage
ment of this concern for about five
minutes"
What would you do?''
''Id run it on business principles;
that's what I'd do! I wouldn't let any
of those people loaf on their jobs; that's
sure! I'd make 'em toe the mark or I'd
know the reason why
why, don't you like the singing?''
asked the travelling man in surprise.
80. yes, the singing's all right, but
it's too blamed slow. I've got an en-
gagement for four o'clock, and they
could finish the whole business by that
time if they were pushed. But they
amt; they just take their time and
draw the thing out. I'd cut down the
time of that fellow with the waxed
mustache five minutes, and if he
couldn't hustle his song to his love
through in that time I'd discharge him.
It's just a case of loaf and lack of live
business management; that's what it
is Id like to see some of my employees
fool around that way once. "-Chicago

JACOB SLOAT FASSETT.

One letter is the cordial and digni-
fed expression of courtesy of man
whom reverses cannot disturb, the
other the absurd and petulant COM
plant of a man who never stood half
a chance of winning and lost the
support of a large portion of his party
by his foolish and injudicious cam
paign speeches.
The public will see at glance what
would have happened had conditions
been reversed. Had Campbell been
elected governor of Ohio the people of
that state would have had an execu-
tive whom democrats and republicans
alike could have respected as a man;
had Fassett been elected governor of
New York the people of the Empire
state would have had needless, indis-
Greet young man liable at any moment
to bring reproach upon them by some
monumental blunder or exasperating
break
All of which leads to the conclusion
that before a man aspires to govern
millions he should learn to govern him.

WOULD RULE BRAZIL.

The Deposed BourbOns of Italy Casting
Eye Toward the Throne of the De-
posed Dom Pedro of Brazil-They are a
Hungry Set and Would Find Fine Pick
ing Out of the Rich Revenues of the
Western Empire if They Could Get There.
PARIS, Nov. 12.-The deposed Bour-
bons, who used to rule over the two
Sicilies before Garibaldi drove the son
of Bomba from the throne. seem good
deal more excited over the Brazilian
situation than Dom Pedro himself.
Neapolitan Bourbons are getting to be
a hungry set. Their means are rum
ming short, and they no longer have a
kingdom to squeeze for living. If
one of them, as grandson of Dom Pedro
/ of Brazil, should be elevated to the
throne on the ruins of the Brazilian
republic, as suggested in the Lon
don Times, the whole family would
come in for a rich share of Brazilian
spoils, which they badly need. The
grandsons, children of the Princess
Januaria, are about as hopeless speci-
mems of royalty as Europe has pro-
duced in the present century. The
elder, Louis, upon whom the advocates
of restoration, appear to have conferred,
has a morganatic wife, whom he would
doubtless cast aside, if elected emperor
of Brazil, to give place to some
woman of royal degree. No Euro
pean nation even among the Balkan
states, would think of accepting him as
a ruler, and those who know him best
say that, as a successor to Dom Pedro
he would present a contrast likely to
startle the Brazilians. AS he is about
As years of age, he no longer has the
plea of youth for his follies. The
friends in Paris of the Brazilian repub-
lie express no apprehension that the
country who elected Dom Pedro will
accept in his place the royal off
springs of Italy.

A Horrible Death.

Tuesday evening Mr.. j. Fl. Grimm
received telegram from Pittsburg,
stating that his son, Chas. D. Grimm,
had been killed, and asking what
they should do with his remains, but
giving 40 particulars of his death.
Mr.. Grimm Immediately went to
Pittsburg. Mr.. Grimm returned
Wednesday morning with the re-
mains. 1t seems Charley had gone
to Pittsburg some time ago to pro-
cure a position, but being unable to
do so had at last resorted to rail
reading, and procured position as
brakeman on the Pittsburg, Cincin-
natl and Western railroad. He had
made one trip and was on the second,
as forward brakeman. His train was
following another up steep grade
when the one ahead broke into, and
the rear of il came back down the
grade with terrible force, striking
the engine of the train on which
Charley was. When the cars struck
the engine; it is said. they split in
two, piling up on either side of lheen-
gine,and it is supposed that the force
Of the collision knocked Charley
Under the car where he was found.
This car was loaded with matches,
which ignited and sci the car on fire,
nearly cremating the body. Only
few bones were left to tell the sad
story; these were brought home by
Mr.. Grimm, and were inferred in
Greenhill on Thursday afternoon,
from the M. E. Church. Charley
was about 81 years of age, and was
well known throughout this city.
The community will be shocked to
hear of his sad fate.

must have the streets for business
purposes. The country folks need
not be scared about being ordered
off of the streets. The merchants
who are tax-pay ers of the town, will
see that fair and equitable treatment

letting them stand for hours is very
different from persons delivering
