EDITOR ARGUS The State Con-
vention cannot fad a stronger man,
one moro thoroughly fitted, or one
better known among educators and
public men throughout the State
than the Hon. ID. w. Shaw, of Bar
bour county.
Mr.. Shaw bag three successive
times been in the Legislature, Is not
a candidate for reelection, and
during his whole legislative career
was at the head of the Committee
on Education. Whenever no OPP
posed or championed a Free School
measure he succeeded. He knew
the whole school law, theory and
practice, perfectly. Every man IN
the last three Legislatures, IL he
could direct events, would call for
Mr.. Shaw for State Superintendent.
Norman approaches him in person
al popularity, or SURPRISES him in
sterling integrity. He is known by
his friends among the school men
to desire the Office. 1t is important
that man having such perfect fit-
ness for the office should be given
it. No man could poll as many
votes among the people, irrespective
Of party, as Mr.. Shaw.
Unless this Office is slated by the
politicians MIR. Shaw will get it.
Take him out of agricultural
pursuits and legislative drudgcry,
so distasteful to him, and make
HIM State Superintendent of Free
Schools. The moment his name is
presented to the Convention all op-
posing candidates will be eleminat-
ed from the contest.

SUGAR IN OUR'N.

We fni the following dialogue
floating around among the Republi.
can exchanges credited to Oskalooss
Herald
Farmer--What are you doing,
young man?
Clcrk-Warting on you. Weigh.
ing out your sugar.
Farmer How much are you Civ
ing me?
Clcrk-A dollars worth.
Farmer-Yes. / know but how
many pounds?
Clerk-Twenty-four.
Farmer-Twenty four! Why, it
used to be only fourteen.
Clera- Yes, hut Mckinley did it
Farmer-W We'll, run her back and
give me only fourteen pounds. IL
| took home twenty-four pounds Of
sugar for 81 the old woman would
make me vote the Republican ticket,
and III be hanged if IN do that.
This is very good as far as it goes.
But how was it that the passage of
tho Mckinley bill enabled the far
mel to buy ten moro pounds of
sugar for dollar now than before
the passage of that act ?
This is question that our Re-
publican friends refuse to answer.
1t can only be due to the fact that
raw sugars have been placed upon
the free list. In other words be-
cause of the abolition OF the tariff
on sugar to that extent.
Manifestly, if the abolition of the
tariff on sugar lowered the price of
sugar, that is increased the quantity
that the purchaser gets for 81, the
abolition of the tariff on wooden
cloths, on carpets, blankets, on
kitchen utensils, ETC., would also
lower the price, that is, increase the
quantity that 81 would purchase.
The farmer in this dialogue thus
overthrows the whole argument
upon which the Mckinley act rests.
The Mckinley bill, according to
the statement Of it's author, was
drawn for the purpose of checking
imports, that is. of taxing and pun
ishfng persons who insisted upon
buying foreign goods. But McKIn-
ley's act made notable exception on
sugar. Instead of furnishing PEG
pie for buying sugar abroad it re-
moved all obstacles to its purchase
by reducing the tariff on raw sugar
making it almost free. The conse
quence is that the price decreased
as the imports increased and the
consumption OF sugar has been
greatly augmented. In other words
the abolition of the tariff on sugars
added immensely to the comforts of
the>sugar consumer. The logical
o-clusion from this statement is
that the same treatment of wool
and woolens, of tin plate. of steel
and tho implements made from
steel would be equally beneficial to
the American consumer Courier
Journal.

whatthe Democrats VIII Do.

Senator Roger @. Mills said in his speech
at East St. Louis, Sept %, 1888; "If Grover
Cleveland is reelected President of the
United States we will pass tariff bill that
puts raw materials all on the free list; and
then we will put our own intelligent and
skillful and productive labor in this
country upon plane of equality with the
labOrers of all other countries" This
means that carpenters who receive $2.7 a
day in this country must be placed upon a
plane with carpenters of Europe who get
$l.62 a day; cabinet-makers who earn
$2.41 in America, on plane with cabinet
makers who earn $1.03 in Europe; mechan-
les who earn S2.71 here on a plane with
mechanics there who get $l.50, etc. The
free-trade theory may be very acceptable
in the great manufacturing State of Texas
represented by Mr.. Mills, but Northern
carpenters, cabinet-makers, and mechanics
are not anxious TO come down to the
''plane Of equality with the laborers of all
other countries"

ADOUBLE TRAGEDY.
An InsaneIy Jealous Army officers
Double Murder.

EAGLE Pass, Tex, September 1O.-The
little town of Leona, Mexico, seventy
miles south of here, was the scene of a
sensational double trajedy last night. The
mayor of the town is Julian Cerdentes, a
young man of fine personal appearance
and ability. He was paying his respects
to and was supposed to be the favored
suitor of Miss Anita Lopez, daughter of
wealthy land and mine owner. Cerdentes
had rival in Lieut.. Rafael SOles of the
Mexican army. The Lieutenant became
insanely jealous of Mayor Cerdentez and
had threatened to kill the latter and Miss
Lopez if he ever saw them together. He
carried his threat into execution last night
at fandango given by the society people
Of LeOna, which was attended by the eou-
pie. SOles met them at the door as they
were leaving the ball room and emptied
his pistol at them, killing them both.
Their slayer made his escape in the confu-
sion that ensued. A detachment of his
own company of soldiers has started in
pursuit of the fugitive officer. Lieut. Soles

STILL ON THE BEACH.
Cause of the WhaIeback's LOss--At
the Wreck.

the Wreck.
EMPIRE CITY, Ore. September 10.-A
heavy northwest ground swell is running
and every breaker sweeps over the deck OF
the Wetmore, which is still on the beach.
All possible hope of getting the whaleback
off has been given up. Captain O'Brien
took ifeboat, and with several of his men
this afternoon started for the scene of the
wreck, but learned from Captain Loch, of
the life-saving station, who had Just re.
turned from the wreck, that it would be
impossible to board the steamer. Captain
O'Brien, when questioned as to the cause
of the accident, said
1t was due to a dense fog and a supposed
heeling error of the compass. An observa-
ton was taken on the day of the accident
which placed her thirty-fiVe miles off shore.
1 steered her one point to westward of her
usual course owing to the dense fog and
can only account for her going ashore by
a heeling error of the compass.
Half an hour previous to her striking be
hauled her a point further off, and the
course she was steering when she went
ashore was a true OF south half west, or a
magnetic course of southwest by south
three-quarters south. He was steering
this course, to be sure and avoid the rocks

WHITELAW REID.
The Campaign Opened in Ohio
The Speakers.
Reid's Tribute TO Harrison and the
Old OhIOans Who Have Done
Noble service For the Country
An Enthusiastic Reception.

WooDsDALE ISLAND PARK, Ohio, Septem-
Der 1O.-The anniversary of PeTy's victory
on Lake Erie was chosen by the Ohio league
of republican clubs to open the campaign
in Ohio. Hon. Whitelaw Reid arrived in
Cincinnati early this morning and at 10
O'Clock left for the park on a special train,
with Governor Mckinley, Ex-Governor For
aker, Hon. H. Clay Evans, of Tennessee;
Hon. Bellamy Storer, General H. H. Hous-
ton, Of Kentucky; Hon. j. A. Caldwell and
others. The speakers received an enthusi-
astic reception at the park. Hon. White
law Reid was the first speaker introduced
He said campaign opened by such an en-
thusiastic gathering as this could have but
one ending in Ohio.
Mr.. Reid paid tribute to the character
of Lewis D. Campbell, of olden days, to
Salmon P. Chase, of Cincinnati; to Edwin
NJ. Stanton, of Steubenyille; to NJ. Ewing
and Tom Corwin, all Ohioans, who had
done service to their country. Take out
these men and their history, j" said Reid
land what have we left of the soul-stirring
history of Ohio for the last third of a cen
tury?"
Referring to political subjects, he said {:
"Our opponents are just now in deadly
trouble because they said the president is a
cold man. Well, have no doubt he often
cast a chill on them. His grandfather's
hat also gave them trouble till they found
it was not only a good fit, but the whole
country knew it,"
Continuing, Mr.. Reid endorsed the pro-
visions of the Mckinley bill and concluded
by predicting that after the campaign the
republicans would be able, like Commo-
dore Perry, to say: 1--WE have met the
enemy and they are ours" (Applause.)
