Private DalzelI on the Ohio Fight.

PRIVATE DALzELL thinks that the Re-
publican factional fight in Ohio Is likely to
disrupt the party. In speaking of the mat
ter the other day, he said: Foraker felt
the power Of the Federal administration in
his contest with Sherman, and, therefore, the
reyulsion from Harrison which he expert
enced when the Cabinet was formed without
him is intensified and fmplacable beyond
description. He wants Harrison's scalp,
and OF every other man who gets in his way
to that end. When Mckinley quietly-for
he has fur on his feet and does everything
ouietly-rewarded the Sherman men with
places at his disposal, and as gently ignored
and repulsed tho Foraker men, the quick
eve OF the latter took it all in and q vow to
destroy Mckinley was registered alongside
of the one to trip up Harrison. When man
like Foraker gets mad, he gets mad all over,
and his wrath Is not the idle VaporlngS OF
a fool or a coward, for he is neither. He
and Mckinley equally divide the Republi-
cans of Ohio between them.
SHERMAN is out of the winds Tor six years
to come" continued the Private, "and will
let these two young giants light 1t ont.
Either can muster about as many followers
as the other. Harrison is McKinleys sec
ond, Alger for Foraker. Alger would spend
"a million to divide the Ohio delegation with
Harrison and Foraker would cheerfully do
it for nothing. 1t is to be no childs play.
Mckinley and Foraker were ideal soldiers
in their boyhood and when such men light
they fight not for fun but fight to kill.
Private DalZell expects the internal strife
to have an effect on the vote OF Oh1o IN No
vember, although he thinks the Republicans
will carry the State. - l.. ID. b.

UP IN A BALLOON.

A BALLOON of this kind provided with dyn-
amite bombs would be new and powerful
agent of war; it would be troublesome
enough if used only for discovering the posi-
tion of an Philadelphia Ledger.
THE story of the German balloons may be
pure fiction. If true, the fact is q disturb
ing event for the Russians, who have no
such means of spying out their enemies ON
their enemies territory Washington Star.
THAT is a queer story from Warsaw about
balloons, supposed to belong to Austria Oh
Germany, lowering over Russian fortresses
the passengers coolly taking observations
and completely controlling the course of the
airship.-Ne,0 York Recorder.
THIS @rial spying is a source of great an.
noyance to the Car, and he may organize
and send a balloon battalion after the spies.
In that case the vision of the poet of Locks
ley Hall of "Airy Navies' graphing in the
blue may be realized.-Ne,0 York Journal.
THAT is wonderful balloon story which
comes from Warsaw, in far-of Paland. in

which that Chicago company with a large

If half the stories be true which come

THE SEASON OF MOVEMENT.

We live in a world of worries, and we art
apt to see the darker side of life when
undergoing the trials involved in change
of dwelling But before long the trees
will be in leaf, carpets will have been put
down, birds will be singing in their merri-
est manner, order will have been evolved
from chaos, and new surroundings will
have assumed a home aspect.
After all, the characteristics of the
home inmates make the home, no matter
whether the yard be large or small,
whether the fuel used be coal or gas OF
whether the residence be rural or urban.
1t is of course annoying to find that a
favorite vase has suffered demolition, a
long-smoked pipe has been miSlaid, half
read book has vanished into thin air or
dust, or that the internal economy OF the
household chronometer has suffered from
travel and change of climate. All
these are included in humanity
woes and sorrows, but they are but a
transition state and clear away among the
comforts of the new surroundings. If a
man want an occasion for the exercise of
chivalry he will find it in the use of his
muscle to arrange matters to suit his
spouse. If woman desire to show her
love and devotion under trying circum-
stances she can easily do it by so arrang-
ing that her husband may, as soon as pos
sible, be surrounded by his few but neces-
sitous wants.
There is some good in everything if one
takes the trouble to look for it, and a
housemoving is no exception to the rule
May those who stay within the walls that
know them, and those who have fitted
into novel environments, alike live long
and prosper, is the wish of THE DIsPATCE.

the newspaper criticisms have been con-
trolled exclusively by ignorance and pref
udce their course in awarding Thomas a
position of authority and eminence was all
wrong, and he by his own act reduces
himself to deserved obscurity. But this
revives the case of Epimenides once more.
For Mr.. Thomas being thus shorn of his
high authority cannot thus pronounce the
worthlessness of musical criticism; and
musical criticism being restored. to its
place in the public credit, he, by its past
verdicts, must resume his pedestal, which
starts the operation from its original point
again.
Rather than pursue these fatiguing al
ternatives around the circle any longer,
let us reach an easier conclusion to the
effect that Chicago brewers must be turn
ing out heady and quarrelsome beverage
to celebrate the Columbian year.

PANACEAs FOR POVERTY.
IheTrue Movement for the Relief OF the
Masses Under Way.

Masses Under Way.
Chicago Times.l
A popular magazine announces a series Of
articles upon "The Poor in Great Cities.n A
scrutiny OF the prospectus indicates that
much will be said Of the hard and dwarfinr
life of the very poor, but nothing of the
causes which have made hunger, cold, dull
toll, and squalid lodging their lot. Possibly
this is just as well for the editor since
magazines circulate chiefly among the
classes responsible. Widespread interest
perhaps not wholly untinged with the NOR
bid-in what General Booth has rather in
accurately called the Submerged tenth" is
q notable feature of the life of to-day 1t is
something of n "fad," indeed, and it's
fashionable vogue is rather to be regarded
as an unhealthy symptom. Yet when Mrs.
Grun dy has declared Summing parties bad
form, when sweet girl graduates no longer
organize clubs of working girls for the study
of calisthenics and Ruskin, and when uni
versity extension shall no longer be re-
sarded as panacea for all social and
economic ills there will remain smaller
body OF enthusiasts, yet band of effective
workers toward the end of abolishing pow
erty rather than healing the hurts it causes.
A comprehensive survey of the work be.
ing done for the amelioration of poverty
leaves the observer with a depressing sense
that fundamentals are being neglected. An
ounce OF cure IS nelQ to De worth pound OF
prevention. The men of education and un-
doubted purity of purpose who go into East
London to live at Tonybee Hall and spend
their days in doing what they may to bright

away the dense fabric of oppression-the op-
preston OF landlord, capitalist, privileged

melancholy region. They are English gen.
tlemen" believing that the duke must have
his city rent roll, his Scotch deer forest, and
his wide expanse of gorse and heather
on which to kill something every bright

To share the life of the poor-though only
the neighboring poor know how far the dem
izens of the quiet, scholarly halls of a col
lege settlement are from sharing their gaunt
and sordid lite-has in it an element OF ro-
nance, and withal does not force them to
do violence to their associations and tradi-
tions. To band together in a systematic
crusade for the abolishment of the law of
entail, for the enforced division of the great
estates, for q heavier taxation upon ground
rents, for relentless pruning of u treasury
budget crammed full of appropriations OF
the peoples money to private ends would
be to offend British conservatism and to
brave social ostracisnl. Temperance coffee
houses, model teuementS, university SETTLE
ments, Toynbee Halls, "tee-to-tums," and
the like help well-meaning people to satisfy
their consciences without offending their
prejudices. The true movement for the re-
lief of the masses is under way, but does
not work from above downward.

NEW YORK, March 3L-At a special meeting

Francis Worcester Doughty on Evidences
of Man in the Drift" The lecturer exhib-
tied a number of curious objects of purple

heads and those of various animals. There
were several tablets made of q mixture of
iron and clay. One of these, e. large one,
was covered on one side with q substance
which looked like parchment or skin and
was painted.
On all these tablets were pictures renre-
senting various scenes, which, the speaker
said, would probably prove to be hiero-lyph-
les or Inscriptions in some heretofore un-
recognized language. Some OF the heads
exhibited were manifestly those OF Indians;
others had strongly marked Caucasian feat

Warwick viii BE Missed, Too.

ANOTHER Buckeye Congressman who is
serving his first and last term is John &.
Warwick, who defeated Mckinley by bare
300 in district with 1000 Democratic major
ity, and who has never been heard of since.
In tine newly arranged district the 1000 ma
jority will be on the other side of the fence,
and Warwick will not even be a candidate
for reelection. The Republicans in this dis
trict are in considerable confusion them
selves now that Mckinley is no longer in
the Congressional field, and strong Demo
cratic candidate would have fighting
chance of success.
But Warwick knows better than to risk his
barrel in such an uphill contest, and the
Democrats will probably nominate b. +.
Weybrecht, who is quite young man: but
very popular in that end OF the State. Wey-
brecht was elected to the Ohio Legislature
last fall on the returns by plu-
rality of 26. but this margin was
so narrow that the Republican menu
bers promptly unseated him on general
principles. His party friends now propose
to make campaign issue out OF the sum-
mary bouncing and run him for Congress;
Judge King, of Youngstown, thinks he will
be the Republican nominee in the district,
but Mckinley is understood to favor the
nomination of T. r. Morgan, the wealthy
manufacturer, and the Governors influence
may prevail.
