Invalids Should Remember the Date

We wish again to call the attention of
our readers to the return visit of Drs.
France & Ottman, as announced by their
large advertisement in this issue of our
paper The cry of beware of the fraudu-
lent travelling "quack," which very justly
gained prominence few years ago when
the laws of our State permitted this
species of gentry to ply their vocation,
has out lived its application. The recog
nized fact that it is beyond the ken of
possibilities for any one man to master
all the branches of the healing art, has
caused the best men in the profession,
both in Europe and America, to devote
their entire energies to perfecting them
selves in special branches Drs. France
& Ottman, who present their credentials
from the best medical institutions in the
country, have spent the past ten years
in the constant investigation and treat
ment of chronic diseases. The TACT that
they refuse to prescribe for any disease
outside their specialties and ask only those
to visit them who have failed to get relief
from their family physicians, entities
them to confidence. Large numbers al
ready throng their parlors at each visit
Every invalid should carefully read their
mammoth advertisement and visit them
at their parlors.

MINORITY REPRESENTATION.

Cranks are often the initiators of
reforms, which when adopted by con-
servatiye men, they repudiate and strive
to overthrow. The late Peoples party
of Ohio at its convention indorsed
good plan for choosing Legislature.
Let the State he divided into districts,
from each of which, say five representa-
tives are to come, making five names on
each party's ticket, Let each vote cast
for each first name on ticket count
five: each vote cast for second name
count four; each vote for a third name
three, and so on. If there were then
500 Republican votes and 450 Demo
cratic votes, the Republicans would
elect three representatives and the Dem
ocrats two. Under the present system
the entire five elected would be Repub-
lican, and the 450 Democrats, though
counting up almost as many votes as
the Republicans, are unrepresented.
The present system of allowing no
representation to the minority is unjust,
and is the parent of corruption. 1t is
Numerically opposed to the plan of
representative government. The rule of
half is often more tyrannous than the
rule of the few, or the rule of one.
Apply the principle of minority repre-
sentation to all elections, and you do
away with the spoils idea in politics,
and of course, with nine-tenths of its
dishonesty.
Though the Peoples party is the first
political organization to adopt this plan,
they are not its originators. 1t has been
used in the election of college trustees
and elsewhere. But even though it
have poor sponsors, the plan itself de-
serves consideration. In these days of
improvement in everything else, why
not improve on our confessedly bad
system of representation

THE TWO CLAIMS.

Public interest demands John Sher-
mans return to the Senate. Personal
ambition is the basis of Governor For
aker's aspiration to that position. This
is the Senatorial question in short.
Ohio needs John Sherman for reasons
oft repeated-his ability, his sagacity,
and his experience. The United States
Senate needs him because the old men,
men with cool level heads the kind
of men wanted-are perhaps fewer than
ever before in that body. The people
of Ohio need him because he gives the
State weight in that dignifed legislative
body, and this young man can not do.
The people of the whole country need
him because he never did and will not
sacrifice public interest to political
buncombe. They want him because he
is statesman, fnancier, and because
he bears with him more weight than any
other man in the Senate to-day. A
reelection is due John Sherman because
the State of Ohio never honored him as
he has honored the State. He has been
eminently instrumental in giving Ohio
tie enviable reputation she enjoys
among all the States, and for Ohio to
retire him now would be as inexcusable
as an ungrateful act of child to an
aged parent.
Governor Foraker has been twice
honored with the position of Ohio's chief
executive. He wanted it again and the
people would not give it him. He was
sent to Chicago in '8S as supporter of
Sherman. He turned out TO be more
for Foraker than for the man he was
instructed to support. For the last six
or eight years Foraker has been allowed
to try for everything he wanted, and
now it seems that it is about time he
earns something before he tries again.
The people of Ohio owe him nothing,
and he should wait until they call him.

BEST OF REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPERS.
THE TRIBUNE FOR 1892.
Boswell G. Horr on the Tariff. :.

Boswell G. Horr the Tariff.
The Republican party, triumphant in 1891, wher
ever national issues were at stake, renewS, aggres
siyely and bravely, the fight for 1892. The New
York Tribune, the ablest, most reliable, and best
OF Republican papers, leads the way.
During 1892 Boswell G. HOrr, of Michigan, the
witty orator, will continue in The Tribune his re-
markable articles on the Tariff, Reciprocity, Coin
age, and Currency. These topics are all under
standable; the Republican policy with regard to
all OF them Is ri=ht, patriotic and iupregnable;
but dust has been thrown into the peoples eyes,
and the air has been filed with fog by lying and
tricky Tariff-refOrmers. The Tribune prints from
one TO five exceedingly entertaining articles every
week explaining these questions
Mr.. H0rr begins at the beginning Of every sub
ject, and makes it SO clear that everyone can un-
derStand and no one can answer him. Ask any
neighbOr what he thinks of Mr.. Horrs writings.
He will tell you they are genial clear, entertain
ing and perfectly Unanswerable. A speciality is
made of answering all questions, asked in good
faith on the Tariff, Reciprocity, Coinage, the Cur
rency, and the projects of the Farmers Alliance.
The Tribune is the best national Republican paper
to supplement your local paper during 1892.

masked men who were on board the train,
the express car blown open with giant
