THE OHIO IDEA,

In view of the general interest taken
in the contest inaugurated in Ohio, the
query is being discussed both in and out
of that state, why it is that the Ohio idea
keeps itself to the front so habitually.
One of the suggestions is that the state
has been prolific in the material needed
in public affairs. This may be but an
illustration of the old law of demand
and supply. 1t is palpable that the
state has been generous, perhaps to
muniicence, in meeting the national de-
mand. One insists that it has in some
way had the right sort of material in
greater proportion than other sections.
Ii has had bunch of presidents and
national candidates, w. ii. HARRISON,
HAYES and GARFIELD were its citl-
Zens, and the last two natives of
the state. GRANT and the present
incumbent of the White house were
born in the state. The list of Ohio
names of emiRence in national history
is certainly long one, and the fact is
not confined to either party. But there
is nothing very peculiar in the claim
that the ablest men have been put to the
front quite generally. In holly con-
tested state this would be natural. 1t is
not to the diScredit of the state that it
may never have had CLAY. WEBSTER,
BENTON, LINCOLN, or DOUGLAS. Such
men are not often really needed in af-
fairs. Ohio has had a CORwIN, a
CHASE, a PENDLETON. and the average
of a considerable catalogue is one
worthy of some state cOmplacency.
The Ohio idea has had active
legs and been circulating about
and stepping iuto places, to a prOyerb.
1t is too numerous for one, though large
state. Elections have been frequent
there, and the deciding issues are in
variaDly national. The nearly equal
strength of the parties has brought out
the ablest forces Of each. Perhaps one
of the most contributivc factors to the
Ohio idea has beeu this Introduction of
national questions in all state contests.
In the present campaign good deal is
said about the personality of candidates
and some local squabbles, but they will
be pretty much lost sight of as the par
ties get down to regular work. The
MCKINLEY policy will be the engross-
ing question, and local matters will
have small place and cut little figure.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

A writer in the English Mechanic
says: II have waged war upon house
flies in all manner of ways. A very
effective dodge is to put any attractive
substance in soup plate, then smear
some dry rusheS or fine strips of bamboo
with birdlime, leaving them crOSsWays
on the plates. Soak few quasSia chips
in water contained in a saucer. After
standing few hours add teaspoonful
of molasseS, stirring it well. A sip of
this liquid knocks fly down, but they
die far and wide, which is Objectionable.
A bit of carrion outside your doors will
soon be black with them, and, having
previously surrounded it with circle
of gunpowder, you can, with match at
the end of wand, send thousands away
at one explosion.
"A branch of the common elder tree
Just about to flower seems very obnox
ious to flies. l have seen our butchers
in England hang it in their shops, and
have largely noticed how the summer
swarms quilted the horses heads on our
entering a green lane where the elder
constituted part of the hedges"
Essence of cinnamon is said to be
more useful as a spray In hospital wards
than even eucalyptus in cases of ma
laria.
First boil your sponge in strong solu-
ton of borax, then wash in cold water:
then again boil in salt and water, and
free it from the salt by washing in cold
water. Repeat this until the sponge is
quite clean. Lastly add a few drops of
hydrochloric acid and few grains of
iodine to a quantity of water, and per-
nit the sponge to soak therein for
time; then wash in cold water. BY this
means you will have a clean sponge
having the characteristic odor of the
sea.
Put pad of blotting paper under the
carpet where the mark is and pad on
top, and apply hot iron, as is used for
linen.

LONDON. July 17.-Nothing has re-
Gently excited the inner Conservative
circle so much as Lord Salisbury's
declaration that female suffrage ought
to form a part of coming electoral re-
forms. The election agents of intend
ing candidates besiege the executive
of the Conservative association demand
ing to know whether this is an essen
tial part of the government programme.
A host of members of the house of COM
mons have warned the executive that
a female vote plank would not be
accepted by all influential section
of the party without protest.
The premier has long been known to
be inclined to concede the right of suf-
frage to women as probable counter
poise to the democratic tendency to the
principles of manhood suffrage; but
now for the first time he has tried to
commit the party to this momentouS
change of franchise. The council of
the Conservative association at an infor-
NAL meeting to-day, without passing a
resolution to that effect, decided to init
mate to Lord Salisbury that the party
was so divided on the question that
it would be unwiSe to recognize it as
Conservative principle.

A QUEER SCHEME.

There may be some queer conceits
asking acceptance by the next congress
that do not emanate from any political
persuasion. One of these that has en-
couragement from some of the special
lists in interpreting nature proposes to
bore a hole through the supposed crust
of the earth. The spirit that makes
men so persistently determined to ferret
out every difficult quarter on the surface
would penetrate the interior and narrate
the possessions there. Then there is an
impression that there may be vast posi-
bilities of enrichment by the discoveries
to be made.
''Geologisis are agreed, SAYS a writer on
the subject, that the interior of the earth
is largely composed Of metals, chiefly iron;
but also there are other metals than iron,
notably gold and silver. The heavier the
metal, the deeper ii is in the interior, and i'm
mediately about the center must be the met
ais that are more weighty than iron. Geoln-
gist GILBERT, of the geological survey, said
the other day that he would rather expect to
find vast accumulation Of gold at that
point than anywhere else, his notion being
that such of the yellow metal as is found on
the surface Of the earth is only an accidental
detritus. However, there are two or three
substances known even more weiehty than
SO4u anu OllG VI lLGIu - padlllulu. WHICH
has doubled in the market value within the
last year or two, owing to the increased cost
of production
1t is understood that some point in
the West has been indicated where the
crust is believed to be not more than
twenty miles in thickness. 1t has not
been made public just where this is,
but there are some indications that it
may be in the vicinity of the big city on
Lake Michigan. 1t would be premature,
possibly unwarranted, to assume that
there is any feature of the big fair to
be extracted in this way. Still, it would
be potent attraction to the world and
the rest of mankind to come to the ey-
hibit if sort of big artesian well
twenty miles deep should flow liquid
gold or precious metals. Many hands
would be burned before it became cool.
There would be one disadvantage.
Gold would be worth far less
than iron if it were as abundant.
1t might not even serve as a
basis for the stacks of paper currency
some would have printed and called
money. But the scheme is a magnifi-
cent one. 1t is worthy of the worlds
fair and Chicago. If. however, that is
the place, there should be some ordi-
nance or assurance that the tapping of
the lower regions may not induce too
large flow. Cities have been buried
when the outputof the internal regions,
through volcano, has been too rapid
and vOIuminOus. 1t is not remembered
that much of metallic value has ever
been extracted from the lava of vol
canoes. 1t is possible they do not go
deep enough. But it would be a great
thing if heat could be brought up to
take the place of fuel. The Republi-
cans, no doubt, will oppose any appro-
priation for the boring, as the new con-
gress will keep them quite warm
enough.

KAISER AND QUEEN.
Their Recent Meeting Pleases the
Germans

Germans.
BERLIN. July 1.-THE kaiser's visit
to England is still the subject Of popu-
lar discussion. Every prominent Incl
dent connected Herewith is commented
upon in cafes, clubs and street gather
ings as animatedly as when the en-
peror was in the height of enjoyment of
honOrS which were being showered
upon him in the insular kingdom. 1t is
a matter of fact which has become con-

SEXTON FOR LEADER.

LONDON, July 17.-Mr. Sexton has OBJ
tanned the support of several Irish
bishops, and is increasing the adhesion
of members who will support him as
leader of the Irish party. on Mr.. Nc
Carthy's withdrawal. The personal
friends of Mr.. Dillon lay stress upon
his reluctance to lead any section, if he
fails to reunite the party. He is dis
posed to JOIN his brother IN America
and to abandon political agitation
for a time. The bulk of the lib
erals, if consulted, would select
Mr.. Sexton before Mr. Dillon. During
the progress of the Irish land bill Mr..
Sexton added Immensely to his reputa-
ton as a tactician. He is the ableSt de-
batter in the party and is now recognized
as an adept in the quiet, judicious hand
ling of affairs.
The council of the Irish Tenants
association met in the conference room
of the house of commons to-day and
voted $4,000 for the relief of evicted

inability to attend the sittings in the
house, but he finally assented to remain
at his work until the opening of the
next session of parliament.

that some way be provided by which he who

French Deputies Pass Vote of
Confidence.

PARIS, July 1.-THE chamber of
deputies was crammed to the doors this
morning in the expectation of hearing
the debate on the passport regulations.
M. Ribot. the minister of foreign af-
fairs, opened the discussion by declar-
ing that the government had not re-
ceived a single complaint from any
commercial house as to the alleged
restrictions placed upon their COM
mercial travellers. The govern
ment, he said, was not indiffer-
ent to the subject, was quite
ready to take any measures necessary
and would know how to do its duty if it
was feared that Frenchmen were not
treated upon the same footing as other
travellers in German territory; but, he
added, idle reports ought not to be made
the subject of barren agitation. After
debate the government was sustained
by vote of confidence which was car
ried by $40 to 103, and NJ. Laur's motion
in regard to the passport regulations
was subsequently tabled.
