ohio's Inland Waterwavs.

Philadelphia Record: The State of
Ohio began in 1887 the construction OF
Its system Of canals and still retains
control Of 697 miles of artificial wat
erways. The people Of Ohio have
wisely refrained from the policy adopt
ed in Pennsylvania of selling out their
canals to their railroad companies.
The time has arrived, however, when
the capacity of the canal must be en-
larged, abandonment OF those made
largely useless by improved means of
competitive transportation discussed
and decided upon. A bill is now uu-
der consideration In the Legislature of
that State TO provide for the deepen
ing and improvement OF the two ca
nails that connect the waters of Lake
Erie and the Ohio River, one between
Cleveland and Cincinnati, and the 9TH
er between Toledo and Marietta. the
latter following for 81 miles the course
OF the Muskingum River, which is
navigable for that distance for small
steamboats,.
The enlargement of either of these
canals would realize the long consider
ed project of connecting the Lake with
the Mississippi and the Gulf by all
water transpOrtatiOns. Such a means
OF carrying ore, lumber. coal, iron and
other heavy material between the ex-
treme North and the extreme South
would, by the very fact of its exist
ence, be advantageous In modifying
the charges of competing carriers, pre-
clsely as the Erie Canal has kept down
the charges for transportation between
the East and the West. Having wisely
held on to her canal properties, Ohio
would show still further wisdom by
making them efficient for the origin
al purpose of their construction. They
would doubtless prove of the greatest
permanent advantage to the internal
trade of the State.

RIcHLAND county is the home of
John Sherman. On Saturday last two
farms were sold at auction, quite near
Mansfield, (where John has summer
castle) that brought just SO per cent
less than the same farms would have
sold for ten years ago. Make your own
comments, but remember that all the
legislation that has brought this con-
dition, was espOused, voted for and

Too Late.


Perhaps Tennyson has written nothing
which appeals to the hearts of all who read
his poems more than the lyric of "Too
Late" The burden of the sad refrain comes
home with telling force to the hearts of
those who have lost friends by that dread
ease-consumption. They realize. "too
late" the result of neglect. They feel that
had needed the warning of the hacking
cough, the pallid cheek, and weakening
System. They feel this all the more keenIy
because they see others being rescued from
the grasp of the destroyer, and they think
what is saving others might have saved their
loved one. When the first signal of danger
is seen, take steps to avert the catastrophe.
Be wise in time. DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery will drive away consump-
ton. Do not wait until too late before put
ting its wonderful efficacy to the test. It
succeeds where other remedies fail.

THE New York Tribune rather as
sumes considerable complacency over
the fact that New York will not settle
the contest next year, and further re-
makes that sit has been perceived for
months by capable men OF both parties
that New York, New Jersey and Con-
necticut, with the entire South, could
not elect a President IL the other
Northern States should vote against
them" Surely 1t gets but little conso-
lation out Of that little "if.n Indiana
is Democratic beyond a reasonable
doubt. There can be no more "blocks
Of five" or crisp two-dollar bills used
effectively, since the establishment of
q secret ballot. The Dorseys and
Dudleys have captured it by fraud for
the last time. Harrison's plurality in
'SS was only 2,34s, while the Demo-
cratic plurality in $50 was 1859. The
Democratic majority in the Leglsla-
ture on joint ballot is GO.
Let us look at the figures. The
Southern States have 159 electoral
votes, New York SO, Indiana 10. New
Jersey 10, and Connecticut 6. These
make 226 or three more than enough
to elect, besides Michigan will give the
Democrats 6 sure. All the above are
assuredly Democratic, while Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island, Iowa, Mon
tana are all doubtful. If the Tribune
sees anything In the outlook for the
Republicans we fail to observe 1t.
There is scarcely any doubt that New
York will decide the contest in 1892.
The following clipping is Powell Clay
toms opinion as reported in the Dis
patch, and in the light of the present
seems true forecast of the coming
contest;
"If the President is renominated can
he be re-elected?"
~ doubt 1t very much, in fact I
think there is serious DOUBT about the
election of any Republican in 1892.
The Democrats have decidedly the
advantage. They control the South
absolutely. There is not the least
doubt on their getting every electoral
vote from that section. That is over
half the battle already won. Then
they have New Jersey just as solidIy
as any Southern State and think it
doubtful whether the Re-
publicans, even with the ticket headed
by Mr.. Harrison, can carry Indiana.
That State is far more Democratic
than Republican. More than this, by
The machinetions of Senator Hill the
Democrats have been enabled to get
their greedy clutches on both branches
of the New York Legislature and that
State is made much safer for the Dem
'crats than it has ever been. In
Michigan, by miserable gerrymander,
We have been defrauded out of SO
many votes that even that State may
,e set down in the doubtful column.
