The Ohio CRmpnIgn.

While the state campaigns in Massachu-
setts and New York are naturally attract
ing the more immediate attention Of Yer
monters the eyes of the country as a whole
are turned toward the great contest which
is in progress in Ohio, with Mai McKin-
ley as the standard bearer of the Republi-
cans and Gov. Campbell as the Democratic
candidate for reelection. The canvass in
that state turns almost exclusively on nat
ional issues, but there is also much at
stake in the state. a governor is not only
to be elected. but a legislature is to be
chosen which will elect John Sherman's
successor in the United States Senate
Both Republicans and Democrats are
bound to win, while the contest is given a
certain four-cornered character by the ap-
pearance in the field of the Peoples party.
who hope to secure the balance of power
in the legislature and dictate the choice of
a United States senator, and of the Proh-
bitionists, who are mainly anxious to make
show of keeping up their organization.
No candidate in any state has ever made
a more splendid canvass than is being car
ried on by Maj. Mckinley. He is travers-
ing the length and breadth of the state,
speaking night after night on the great is
sues involved, and arousing magnificent
enthusiasm wherever he appears. Up to
this time he has spoken mainly in the
farming districts and to the residents of
the smaller towns. From now on the
larger cities will claim his attention
While not a man of eloquence in the usual
acceptance of that term, Maj. Mckinley is
one who speaks with convincing force.
There is no suggestion of deception, eva
sion or special pleading about his argu-
ments. He is logical and honest, he be-
lieves what he says, and his hearers know
it. So do his political enemies, and this is
why they fear him. The secret of the
strength of the framer of the new tariff
bill lies in his sincerity and in his simple
and homely hut forcible way of placing the
issues before the voters.
At the outset of the canvass the Demo-
Gratis attempted to put the free silver issue
out of sight, and because Mr. Mckinley
met them on this and forced this great nat
iOnal question to the front he was accused
of trying to keep the tariff in the back
ground, but this accusation the Democrats
were quickly obliged to drop In every
place where the Republican candidate has
spoken he has defended the protective tar
iff system, its fundamental principle and
its practical operation in the broadest and
strongest way.
The Democrats are making a less open
and active canvass, but none the less they
are carrying on strong fight under the
surface by their own peculiar methods.

The nenth OF Mr. PnrneII.

Charles Stewart Parnell the great Irish
leader, died suddenly Tuesday evening at
his home in Brighton, England. The i'm
chill, following a long period of depression
and partial prostration, resulting from the
excitement and final disgrace of the last
year of his life. The event was entirely
unexpected to the public. Mr.. Parnell was
a native of Avondale. county Wicklow, Ire
land He was educated in England, and
in his earliest manhood took firm stand
on the side of the downtrodden Irish peO-
pie. He first became member of the
House of Commons in 1875, and under the
events of the next two years became the
acknowledged leader of the Irish cause,
and was recognized as a formidable power
in the House by the English members. 1t
was at this periol that the opportunity of
Mr.. Parnel and his fellow land leaguers
came, and they embraced it with vigor and
determination. The objects which they
had in view were briefly these: lst, re-
ductiOn of rents and refusal to pay if such
reduction was refused; ID, final and en-
tire change i'm the land laws, peasant pro-
prietorship to he substituted for that of the
landlords. In 1881 came the arrest of Mr..
Parncll as suspect By the crown. with
that of his fellow laborers in the Irish
cause-Dillon, Sexton and O Kelly-and he
there for some months. From this time on
the history of Mr.. Parnell is familiar and
is simply that of the struggle for home
rule in Ireland. Some four or five years
ago began the famous, or infamous, series
of articles in the London Times on "Par-
nellism and crime resulting in the APP
pointment of a commission of investiga-
tion. with the final end that through the
shrewdness Of Patrick Eagan, the present
minister from the United States to Chill,
the alleged Parnell letters, on which the
charges of the Times were based, were
proved to be forgeries, the work of Rich
ard Pigott, a well-known blackmailer, who
fed the country, made full confession,
and killed himself
At this time Mr.. Parnelrs star was in
the ascendant, and he stood before the
world almost without peer as patriot in
his country's cause. Then came the
O'Shea scandal the revelation of his i'm
moral relations with Mrs. O'Shea, the di-
vorce trial, and finally his marriage to the
divorced woman, which took place last
June. For a time, following his public
disgrace, Mr.. Parnell made a stout effort
to maintain his leadership of the Irish
cause, but his defeat was complete, and he
has died painful example of man of
magnificent intellectual gifts, capable of
deeds of the highest patriotism, but with
out the moral integrity to preserve the
strength and purity of his own manhood.
Mr.. Parnelrs mother was daughter of
an admiral of the United States navy, and
has for several years past been living at
Bordentown, y. j., in reduced circum-
stances. She was greatly affected by the
news of her sons death, and became hys-
terical, declaring that Mr.. Parnell had been
killed by the malice of his opponents.

A notable career, and one which is I'M
usual i'm England, came to an end on Tues
day in the death of the Rt. Hon. William
Henry Smith, First Lord of the Treasury
and the government leader in the house.
Mr.. Smith was native of London and be-
gan life as a clerk and assistant to his
father in his great news agency business.
1t is from this fact that the statement,
which is not true, gained circulation that
the greats statesman and government ofiic-
ial began life-as London newsboy. He
is, however, one of the few tradesmen who
have ever risen to hold portfolios i'm the

4 had BLOW for Tammany.

Herman Oelrichs, prominent citizen of
New York and man with wide influence
among the German population, is so much
dissatisfied with the condition of the Dem
ocratic party in New York city and state
that he has resigned his position on the
Democratic National committee Mr.. Del
rich's letter defines his position in unequiv-
Ocal terms, saying in substance that if there
is and can be no Democrat out OF Tam
many, and that the standard of Democracy
is the approval of Tammany's men and
Tammany's methods, he can no longer act
as representative of the party.
Tammany and the Democrats have re-
ceived few harder blows than the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Oelrichs and his abandonment
of the party at the present time. Among
the better classes of the Democracy his in
tluence has been great. This is especially
true of the Germans of New York city,
with many of whom his word is law. 1t
is believed that his action will greatly in
tiuence the few remaining Germans who
have not abandoned Tammany and its rep
resentatives. The Democrats will feel the
loss heavily in another way. Mr.. Oelrichs
has always been a heavy contributor to
the Democratic election funds, as well as
an ardent worker in the interests of his
party. 1t is little wonder thai the Tam
many men are SO discounted at his resig-
nation

The Argus is very much troubled this
week because the investigations made hy
Senators Morrill, and Mcpherson show that
the new tariff. has not increased prices
along the Canadian border. The trouble
with the Argus is that it carefully ignores
the fact that the greatest benefit claimed
for the tariff by the protectionists is that
it gives the American market to Ameri-
cans, and thus benefits farmers and manu-
facturers by increasing the amount and
sale of their products without raising the
prices of the necessaries of life.

applause. At the close of Gov. Campbell's $
final speech both he and the major were
escorted to a carriage, and side by side
driven to the depot between lines of admir-

1t was a clear and decisive victory for
Major Mckinley and the doctrine of pro-

lffom the Sprlngneld hepuohcan.l
All the "straws" in the stream of New
York politics are running Fassett's way
just now. The detection from the Demo
cratic ticket of Lieut-Goy. Jones, and the
resignation of Herman Oelrichs from the
Democratic national committee because of
Tammany domination indicate a lack of
harmony within the Democratic ranks that
even Gov. Hill has never encountered, and
when such Independents as Seth Low fol-
low George William Curtis in announcing
their opposition to Flower, il means that
the Democrats have little to expect from
Independent sources, despite the attitude
of the New York Times. In the Republi-
can ranks, on the other hand, the very
last breach seems to have been closed.
The Buffalo Express, which at first de
nOunced Fassett's nomination because it
meant evidently the rule of Platt, now de-
clares that the wisest choice was made,
and that Fassett is more likely to dominate
Platt than to be dominated by him.

state government to pass into the hands of

of the Saratoga ticket" Mr.. Jones also
declared that the present Tammany regime
in New York city is more INSCRIPTIONS
and corrupt, and possessed larger powers,
than that which existed under: Tweed!

The KeeIey Cure for Alcoholism.

DR.. \. Il. Rice of Springfield, Mass, a
physician of good repute, 30 years in prac-
tice, and a member of the Massachusetts,
medical society, who has recently been to
Dwight, ILL.,, to investigate the Kelley cure
for alcoholism, has returned thoroughly
convinced of the efficacy of the treatment.
DR.. Keeley has been making his expert
ments with bichloride of gold for dozen
years. He now has 500 patients under
treatment, hundreds of inebriates have
been sent away cured, and by January l
the number under treatment will reach
1000 month. Patients from all parts of
the country, men and women old and
young, continually flock to Dwight. The
treatment is simple. Four times a day the
patients bare an arm, form in line and
march around to receive hypodermic in
lection of the bichlOride. Between times
they are given teaspoonful doses of liq-
uid mixture, the composition of which is a
secret They are given whiskey whenever
they want it, but after 4S hours of the
treatment their stomachs reject it and the
craving ceases-never TO return, if DIR.
Keeley's claims are well founded. About
three weeks is the time required for full
cure. The charges for the treatment are
S25 a week. Those who have taken the
treatment are enthusiastic over it and wear
button to signify their membership in
the club of cured inebriates. Such in
brief is the story brought home by DR..

One Year of the New Tariff.
LErnnn the RnStnn InnrnnI

One year after the enactment of the Nc
Kinley law finds all the predictions of the
Democratic calamity orators unfulfilled.
So far from raising rates all along the line,
as was falsely asserted, the law has re-
duced them, on the dutiabe list, from A
per cent to Ala per cent and on the entire
list from % per cent to 20 per cent. So
far from ''strangling our foreign trade"
the first year of the law shows a gain of
$32 100000 in exports and of S21 ,000,00
in imports. So far from raising the cost
of the necessaries of life, it has reduced II. .
and the Springfield Republican, one of the
most vehement opponents of the bill, ad-
mits that ''prices are lower than ever"
New industries have been established and
old ones have been strengthened Oppor-
tunities for employment have been in
creased, good wages are assured to labor,
and prosperity is the rule everywhere 1t
is not singular that the Democratic orators
and newspapers dislike to be reminded of
these things.
