OHIO REPUBLICANS.
They viii ln,ugurate "a Campaign Of edu.
cationn

COLUMBUS, O., April s.-A Campaign
of education" preliminary to the elec-
tion of next fall is to be inaugurated
without delay by the republicans.
Clubs are TO be organized in every
township and village and special at
tention will also be given to the or.
ganization of young men. The cam!
paign will be carried on right through
the summer with system and vigor
never before manifested in Ohio poll
tics. This is the program of the friends
of Governor Mckinley, who without
question will receive a denomination
next fall. His supporters realize that
he must make an excellent showing at
the polls in order to be regarded as
available material for the next presi-
dental convention. His defeat for re-
election, they argue, would necessarily
Involve his retirement to private life.
and thus remove him from the ranks of
presidential candidates, and hence they
are willing to work all summer in
order that the party may be strength
ened to the last brace.

Every steamer that plies along the
Atlantic coast is refuge for birds that
are blown out to sea, mostly small and
not strong of wing. When disturbed
or frightened by people on the deck,
they fly into the air and fall behind

turbances they become so tired that
they can no longer catch up. After
hopelessly chasing the vessel for
several miles they futter into the sea

A London paper says that a Besan-
con, France. the production OF silk from
wood pulp is very successful. 1t has
never come into common use, one reason
being the extreme infammability Of
the material. as well as its want of dur
ability. In one Of the consular re-
ports, quoted in the LondoL Times, de-
tails of the process are given, and an
account of the formation of new com.
pany at ST. Etienne. but the conclusion
is that the experiments are more curious
than important. and the silkworm will
remain the triumphant producer of silk.

Judge Judd has received many en-
comiums for his highly interesting and
patriotic address at the Utah Univer-
sity on ballot reform. While his idea
that none but native born citizens
should hold the elective franchise may
be regarded as extreme, it must be
conceded that his reasons for desiring
some correction for the evils of alien
voting, and endowing ignorant foreign
ers with the same rights as well inform
"a Americans. are grounded in fact and
consonant with right principle. AT the
same time It must not be forgotten that
there are well educated and well dis
posed aliens residing in this country,
and ignorant and debased natives of
the soil Ballot reform is a necessity,
ana the Judge struck the root of The
matter when he showed that the re-
form must begin in the voter. For
good government in republic we must
look at the true source Of government
