Ohio has secured under Mr..
Cleveland three fine diplomatic
places. Edwin Dun, of London,
minister to Japan; Claude Meeker,
consul to Bradford, and James E.
Neal, consul to Liverpool.
The last two were appointed at
the personal request of ex,Govern-
or Campbell, who is power in in
fuence with the present admins
tration. Both were splendid ap-
pointments and the Ohio Demo-
cracy are specially pleased to see
Mr.. Meeker get such a good posi-
tion and to know that Colonel
James e. Neal, whose services as
state chairman are so we'll known,
to get the $4,000 plum to Liver
pool. There will be abroad no two
men who will be a greater honor
and good to the nation than Messrs.
Meeker and Neal, both honest, gen.
ial and brainy men with true Demo
cratic principles.

POOR ED.

The election is now over and "Ed.
Davenport" of the Republican
Gdzette' has taken another lesson
in the duplicity of humanity.
His faith in the sincerity of his
party associates may be weakened
but Ed. will be wiser.
Davenport wanted to be Coun-
Gilman from the 4th ward and
found no trouble in getting the
nomination, all the Republicans
pledging him the united support of
the party, but they were not sim
cere and Edward is smarting un-
der defeat.
But Ed has proven that he is
more popular than his party, and
had it not been for the tacit oppo-
sition Of the Journal he might have
pulled through, but with the Jour-
nal and Ike Kontner and Yerges
and Cal Reber and Mute Collins
against him defeat was assured
from the start.
1t was not in the power of any
one man to defeat such a combina-
ton, a mule couldn't have beat it.

Paying for Reciprocity.

1t will be remembered that Pres
ident Harrison, under the so called
reciprocity sections of the McKin-
ley bill, issued proclamation de-
claring coffee imported to this
country from Venezuela, Colombia
and Haiti subject to an import tax
of three cents a pound, because
those countries were derelict in
meeting the administrations re-
ciprocity ideas in admitting Ameri-
can products free of duty. They
allowed they could not do so as it
would break up their revenue sys-
tenn. The excuse was not accepted,
and reciprocity as to those coun-
tries became retaliation. Well,
what has been the result, and who
pays the piper?
In 1891, before the retaliatory
proclamation was issued, we i'm
ported about 520,000,OOO pounds of
coffee, of which S7,500,O0O pounds
came From Venezuela, Colombia
and Haiti. This was monthly
average of 100000 pounds from
these countries. Under the Presi-
dents proclamation this has fallen
off to about 835,S00 pounds a
month, valued at 100000. This
was the report for January. The
decrease was the effect of the eXac-
tion of a duty OF three cents a
pound so far as the quantity re-
ceived from those countries is con-
cerned. 1t cut down our supply to
that extent. We received one
sixth of our consumption from
them. 1t was what is known in
the trade as mild coffees, and cut
ting off their supply enabled other
countries producing the same
grades to exact higher prices. The
price of mild coffees to American
consumers has been increased at
least II cents pound, the increase
in the aggregate amounting to
several millions of dollars annually.
The retaliatory proclamation has
not only increased the price of cof-
fees from three countries, but has
also affected the price of the large
quantities of coffee that are on the
free list.
1t has been stated that President
Cleveland has called on the State
Department for information as to
our trade relations with the three
countries; and this suggests what
is probably fact, that he may re-
scind President Harrison's pro-
clamation imposing the tax of
three cents a pound. AS the opera
ton of Mckinley reciprocity has
been to add to the cost of coffee to
American consumers, it would
seem to be the common-sense thing
to do to wipe it out. 1t only adds
another to the stupendous failures
of McKinleyism.

BEAT THE COMBINATION.

The election in Chicago on Tues
day was of more than usual inter.
est, from the fact that the Repub-
licans had entered into fusion
with the mal-contents of all parties
and placed in nomination Samuel
w. Allerton, who it was expected
would draw heavily from the De.
mocracy.
There was also a laber ticket
which it was hoped, by the Re-
publicans. would draw heavily
from the Democracy.
In addition to this every daily
newspaper in the city, except the
Times, was against Carter Harri-
son, the Democratic nominee.
The day was fine and the vote
was large but the g. o. p. went
down in the drizzle of disastrous
defeat.

A LEGAL OUTRAGE.

The provisions of the ballot law
which permits judges and clerks

that of governor seem scarcely

THE PRIMARY.

next Tuesday, to decade the postmas-

as rules under which the last DemO-
cratic primary was held. and under it
free and fair expression of the peo-
pie can be had, and the decision
reached should satisfy all. Let every
Democrat turn out and vote for his
choice for postmaster of Texarkana.
As we stated yesterday, we believe
all Democrats who have been acting
with the party heretofore should be
allowed vote in this primary, and,
believing this, fear not to express our
selves though it may not please some
men in the party.
As we gave our choice for postmas-
ter before the primary was called, will
make no partisan fight for or against
any one, through the paper, but go to
the polls and vote as other individual
Democrats.

A Ruinous Loss.

Why is II that people in general are
so prone to disregard loss of strength,
clearly perceptible in bodily shrink
age, failure of appetite, broken rest.
Incomprchensible but true, Sheer
carelessness, an overwcening conf
dence in the power Of nature to recu-
perate-these are suggestible reasons.
One Of the most observable signals of
danger thrown by distressed nature is
waning strength. An efficient tonic
is the best safeguard against lmpend-
ing peril. Among the invigorants
which modern science has developed
and experience approved Is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters and it occupies the
first place. Digestion, renewed by
this genial stomachic, compensates for
drain of vstal force, and n regular
action of the bowels and tranquil con-
dition Of the nerves, both insured by
its use, cooperate in the complete re-
storation Of vlgor. The Bitters rem
edies liver and kidney trouble and
malaria.
