THE farmers of Belmont county,"
says the Rellaire Herald, "do not want
a farmer to represent them" Well, that
depends on who the farmer is. The
Hon. A. T. McKelvey successfully rep
resented his fellow farmers, as well as
the other citizens of this county, for
four years.

THURSDAY, NOV. u, 1891.
THE SENATORSHIP.

The meaning of the unprecedented
Republican majority in the Legislature
is as easily interpreted as the election
of Mckinley There was an irresistible
undercurrent at work in the campaign,
and it turned Democratic counties up
side down in the sweep of the popular
demand for something patent to an ob-
server. and silently though no less i'm
peratively expressed at the polls. The
election of Mckinley means protection
to home industries. The Republican
Legislature means the triumph of an
honest dollar and the demand of the
people for the reelection of John Sher-
man. The latter issue was wisely and
of necessity kept in the background
during the campaign, but at the ballot
box the tones of the demand were made
clear, The people want John Sherman,
and they elected enough Representatives
to send him back to the United States
Senate.
For thirty years Sherman has been a
leader in the Senate, and in that body
no man ever made more brilliant
record. In that time he has ever been
foremost in his advocacy of measures of
which time has proven the wisdom, and
upon which the people of the whole
country have placed the seal of approx
al In his political career ne has exhib-
tied soundess Of judgment and
breadth in the grasp of affairs that has
indisputably raised him to the rank of
the foremost linancier of the country.
This distinction he has enjoyed for years,
and no one thinks of contesting his right
to that honor to-day. His record fur
nishes wealth of inspiration to the
young men cf to-day, those who ad-
mire GOODNESS of Judgment, breadth of
mind, conscientious discharge of duty
without regard to personal popular ia
vor. His retirement from the Senate
at this time at would be nation
al calamity. His reelection will still re-
tain for Ohio distinction she has long
cherished, representation in the Senate
by one man only, but that one the peer
of any one in the Union. Not only do
the people of Ohio desire his reelection,
but the Republicans of every State ex
pect to see him returned, and the Leg
islature must not prove recreant to its
trust.
IN his annual report Secretary Rusk
estimates that the increase in value of
agricultural products over last year will
be no less than s700,000,000 In the
first three months of the present fiscal
year our exports of cereals have amount
ed to S760,000,000, and the outlook is
that our surplus products will largely
exceed any previous year with steady
and remunerative foreign demand. At
the same time the new tariff has check
ed the import alton of articles which we
ourselves produce, such as tobacco, bar
ley, and all live stock. He estimates
that our pork raisers have lost s260,000,-
COO in the last ten years owing to the
prohibition of pork by foreign countries,
most of which is now removed. The
report presents rosy outlook to the
farmers, and lesson in the benefcent
effects of the Mckinley tariff.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 5.-Frank McLain.
who makes his living cleaning alleys aud
acting as general scavenger, was arrested
yesterday afternoon for the murder Of the y
months old son of his wife, to whom he was
married last August, and last night two
mobs made vain searches for him in order
to lynch him.
Monday evening Mrs. Hargrave and
Mrs. Stewart, two neighbors, were called
in by McLain, who told them that the baby
was dying. They found that is left leg
had been broken Just below the hip and its
body was covered with bruises and cuts.
Yesterday morning the child died. and Nc
Lain appealed to the county for aid in buoy
ing ii, and cof1in was furnished.
NcLain had three daughters by for
mer wife His children told in school Tues
day that their father had taken the
baby by the heels and pounded it against
the door. The story was spread by the
school children and the police were mott
fled and arrived at the house just i. time
to find McLain making preparations for
burying the child himself without calling

The body was taken in charge by the po-
lice and a post norton examination proved
beyond a doubt that tie child had been
treated in the most brutal manner imagin-
| able. The face was covered with scars;
| both legs were broken the left ear was
deeply gashed on the inner side and the
| body was bruised in several places.
McLain was arrested at once and taken
to Jail.
News of the brutal crime spread rapidly
over the city, and shortly after dark ex-
cited crowds began 10 gather about the
! county Jail and city prison and at o'clock
over 800 angry men surrounded the two
| prisons which ad,oined each other. The
doors of both were guarded by officers,
who informed the mob that the murderer
! was in neither.
Committees were appointed by the would
be lynchers to search the Jail and prison.
They were admitted by the officers and
shown all through both buildings, but Nc
Lain was nowhere to be found.
Most Of the mob then quietly dispersed.

house, 1t having been rumored that the
prisoner was confined in the basement,
which had formerly been used as Jail.
Here the mob rapidly increased. At lC
O'Clock there were fully 5000 people in the
streets about the court house.
Finally the front door was forced open,
torches were procured and the keys to the
old cells were found in the sheriff's Office.
A thorough search WAS made. but the pris

The mob was good natured and for the

Returns Not All Complste-Russen
Surely Reelected ~ Governor.
Boston, Nov. 5.-Although nearly forty
eight hours have elapsed since the polls
closed in tho state election, there
are still four towns that have not been
heard from at all in the associated re-
turns, and several others whose
complete vote has not been received. The
footings of the governor votes at hand
give: Alien, 200; Russell, l5S, 49l j;
Kimball, Prohibition, s,l56; Winn, Peo-
ple's, 1918. Russelrs plurality, 5,29l. The
four missing towns last year gave Russell
plurality Of l3s, which will increase his
plurality in the state TO 5, 40.
In the legislature the Republicans will
have a majority IN porn prancnes, PROBABLY
four or five in the senate and sixty in the
house.
The entire state Republican ticket ex-
cept governor is elected by maiorities
ranging from 5000 to 1000.
The returns for the Legislature are very
complete. OF twenty-six complete re
turns from the senate, seventeen are Re
publican, among the surprises being the
defeat of Robert Howard of Fall river.
The senate will be Republican. The house
has complete returns from l27 members, a
little more than one-half, and these stand
eighty.two Republicans and forty five
Democrats. Speaker Barrett is reelected
by twice his last years plurality.
The executive council will probably stand
seven Republicans TO one Democrat.

Evil Results Of Measure for the Bene.
At Of sheep-owners.
CALIFORNIA; coyote bounty law,
which was passed in the winter of 1890
81 for the benefit OF the sheep-own-
ers, and which went into operation on
the following May, is operating in a
manner that is filling the taxpayers
and the fruit-growers Of the state with
dismay. says the New York Evening
Post. 1t provides that for each coyote
killed IS shall be paid out OF the state
treasury to the person presenting the
scalp to the clerk Of the board OF SUI
pervisors OF each county. Although
only eleven of fifty-four counties in
the state had been heard from. the
claims of bounty aggregated July ii,
$40. $40. A banking firm In Tulare
county, which had not yet reported.
notified the state comptroller that 1t
held claims for 1000. Were all these
claims based on the scalps of coyotes
killed in California the case would not
be 90 scandalous. But 1t has been
learned that enterprising Californians
are importing scalps from Arizona

furthermore, that the bounty has
called into existence q new and

coyotes. As female coyote can pro-
duce three litters Of seven pups each q
year, she is worth something like $500

evil OF this ridiculous piece Of legisla-

A Lesson for Humanity.

A horses thoughtfulness is told OF
BY q correspondent Of Our Dumb AMI
mails, in front Of whose house. beside
the grass plot team Of handsome
horses drew up. The near horse
munched the grass contentedly, which
the OF horse tried in vain to reach.
Suddenly, to my astonisbment the
near horse raised his head with his
mouth full of grass and held It near
its companion's mouth. The OF horse
accepted the apparent invitation to
eat and took the grass from the other
ones mouth. After turning and eat,
ing Q while on his own account he
repeated this maneuver, and l then
called in the other members Of my
family to watch them. There could
be no mistake about 1t; the horse
which could reach the grass fed his
companion at short intervals as long
a. they stood before the door,"
