Is the chosen favorite Of the Almighty
In the monarchical line Is Menelek Of
Abyssinia, "Lion conquerer Of the tribe
Of Judah, chosen Of God, king Of kings
Of Ethiopia" Menelek warns his broth.
ers on the thrones of Europe that If they
continue to parcel out Africa among
themselves there will be trouble, and
they would better hunt soft spot on
which to fall. Tho Almighty intends
this lion conquerer to enlarge the bound
aries Of the present Abyssinia till they
include all the region anciently known
as Ethiopia.
This is the Ethiopia Of the Bible. Its
boundaries extended from Egypt on the
north to Khartoum on the south. Meme
lex assures his brothers Of Europe that it
also reached from Nyanza' lake eastward
TO the sea, though this claim is rather
hazy in view Of the fact that If itzeyer
did thus extend to the sea it was before
the time when geographical lines were
laid of with the precision they now are.
The simon pure Ethiopians were not
black. They belonged to one Of the
ancient dark skinned white races, per-

Dom Piatt.

Anything connected with Journal
lists personality does not matter perhaps
ono way or the other to the general pub
lie, and probably less is known of the
personality of journalists than Of any
other men whose work is constantly be-
fore the public. When. recently, at the
age of seventy-tWo, DOM Piatt retired
from earthly scenes, prominent newspa-
pers announced that he was an unbeliever
In religion. They forgot, maybe never
knew, that this stormy, fiery soul was
nurtured in the faith of the Roman Cath
Ollie church, and that the veteran news
paper writer died true son Of mother
church, whether he had always lived
such or not
Another phase Of belief in Mr.. Piatt's
case was that he was Spiritualist.
Years ago 1T must have been twenty.
there were in Cincinnati q number Of
men, most Of them above the ordinary in
intellectual power, who for some reason
concluded to investigate Spiritualisrn.
They were also mostly unbelievers in the
current theology. Among them was
William Cory, q wealthy and eccentric
citizen Of Cincinnati, who had been adu-
Gated in France and imbibed socialistic
principles. Another was F.. B. Plymp-
ton, Of the editorial staff Of the Cincin-
matt Commercial, q gifted writer and q
poet. DR.. Napoleon Bonaparte Wolf
was still another one Of the friends DR..
Wolf was Spiritnalist when tho others
began looking into the matter, and it
was ut his house that the seanees were
held. All the rest became believers.
DR.. Wolf was in the advertising medical
line, and whether as unbeliever or Spirit
ualist, managed his consumption RENE
dies so shrewdly that when he died q
few months ago he left an estate Of
nearly million. Into the strangely as
sorted company came Dom Piatt at the
most brilliant point in his. career as a
journalist. His caustic wit and savage
ntterances made him power 10 the
newspaper world.

true to their Spiritualistic convictions.
All are dead now. and Dom Piatt was
the last of them, but Spiritualism never
softened the ferceness Of his luminosity
or his fights against shams and hum
bugs. His sayings were noted far and
l wide, and some Of them passed into the
American speech to its permanent en-
richment. There was one Of his caustic
remarks that he himself valued especial

His Strength.

Since General Jackson was first
elected President of the United States
there has never been candidate for
that office in either party who owed
his nomination so much TO the rank
and file and so little to the leaders at
Grover Cleveland. He was nominated,
says the Record, at Chicago because
the voters at home, in the fields and IN
the shops, insisted upon 1t with a We.
hemence that did not brook refusal
They forced his nomination and they
can be relied upon to ratify their own
choice by electing HIM. There is prob
ably not man in the country who
does not believe in Grover Cleveland't
honesty and his fidelity TO his public
duty as he understandable. That is the
secret of his strength.

No une who has this by him, and takes

THE CONVENTION.

Henry county's representative DEM
ocraey has met, deliberated, acted and
adjourned. The result Of its work
stands at the head of our editorial
columns, a monument on which every
loyal Democrat In the county will be-
stow his endorsemen mt and for which he
will cast his ballot in November.
The convention was entirely free
from bitterness and what is commonly
termed factional fight, in other words,
there were no lines drawn on nation
ality.
Strife on all sides was apparent but
it was of an enthusiastic nature, born
OF honest nd conscientious apprais.
ments of each candidates merit and
claims to the office.
All of the candidates were men who
would have served with credit In any
office TO which they might aspire.
They are men whose Democracy has
never been questioned and whose ar
dent labor on behalf of the party, as a
fact, is common property throughout
the party.
And, realizing the fitness of each
other for the Office, it was but natural
for those defeated to bury their good
natured antagonism with the an
nouncement ofthe nominating ballot,
and shout for the ticket in which we
all have common interest.
The convention, while not quiet, was
of O harmonious build to satisfy the
tastes of the most conservative in
politics. 1t was not prolonged, yet a
vast amount of effectual and laudable
work was noted at its close; and all
differences, however slight or great,
were healed, and hands joined in
good fellowship, and all else lost sight
of save the success of the entire ticket.
Henry county's Democracy and the
prospect for signal success were never
in a more salutary condition.
Victory for the entire ticket was the
cry that closed Saturdays convention.
