ST. PAUL, June 5.-A Pioneer Press
special from Tacoma, Wash, says Mgr
Satolli states through DIR. O'Gorman that
there are pending diplomatic negotiations
to bring the Greek church of all Russia,
now under personal control of the czar,
into the keeping of the Vatican. Father
O'Gorman is professor of ecclesiastical
history in the Catholic university at Wash
ington, and here and elsewhere during the
tour of Mgr Satolli and party has been
the spokesman of the pope's ablegate.
Churchmen take it for granted that If the
czar is to place his state church under the
control of Rome it is in the interest of
1.eo's hope to effect the disarmament of the
great nations of the world and secure ulti-
mate universal peace and the arbitration
of International quarrels.

The Law on the Subject,

We have repeatedly called attention
to the matter Of destroying brush,
briers, thistles and noxious weeds In
general. The following section Of the
revised statutes of Ohio is very plain
and there is no mistaking Its meaning:
SEC. 4730. The superintendent of
any improved or macadamized road,
supervisor of county and township
roads, or street commissioner of any
city or village, shall, between the 18th
and 30th day of June, and between the
1st and 10Th days of August, and be-
tween the 18th and 30th days of Sep
tember of each year, cut all brush,
briers, Canada or common thistles, or
other noxious weeds growing within
the limits of any county or township
road, improved or macadamized road,
street or alley, within their jurisdiction.
Such superintendent or supervisor
shall be allowed $1.50 per day for all
necessary labor, to be allowed by the
trustees and paid by the treasurer Of
such township out of the road fund
then in his hands. The superintend.
ent or superior of any such roads may
allow any land owner or tenant to cut
and destroy any such brush, briers OF
weeds, growing on such highways,
along] the lands abutting on such
highways owned or occupied by such
landowner or tenant, and before such
work is performed allow and fix a
reasonable compensation therefore,
which amount shall be credited on the
road tax ofthat year assessed against
said premises.

Time Extended for Pensioners TO

Judge Lochren, Pension Commmis-
sioner, has extended until October 10th,
1898, the period within which pen
sioners whose pensions have been sus-
pended may make proof Of their right
to receive them.
The Commissioner says In regard 10
the order "It has been thought that,
because Of the persistent misrepresen.
tation by certain classes OF newspaper
and pensions of the action and inten'
zion Of this bureau, many pensionerI
may have been misled and discouraged
from presenting such proofs as they
could furnish, or from asking for 6
medical examination.

tend the time within which pensioDen

tain their pensions, If they are in fac
entitled to them"

DENYING THEIR RECORD.

In order 10 let themselves down easy
Republicans are telling the people that
their party passed the Sherman silver
law In order TO prevent the passage Of
free coinage law by the Democrats.
Well, let us see how this taIIies with
the record ofthe Republicans. In the
platform Of 1890, adopted by the Re-
publicans Of Indiana, the home Of Ben
Harrison, was this plank endorsing
the Sherman law:
We cordially commend the action OF
Republicans In Congress on the subject
Of silver coinage. Ex-president Cleve-
land, by message to Congress, strongly
opposed all legislation favorable to sill
yer coinage, and the law recently en-
acted was passed in spite of persistent
Democratic opposition. Under its
beneficial influences silver has rapidly
approached the gold standard OF value,
farm products are advancing in price,
and commerce Is feeling the impulse of
increased prosperity. twill add more
than S50,000,000 annually of sound
currency to the amount in circulation
among the people, and is long net
prudent step to,Oard free coinage.
Thus it appears that instead Of being
passed to prevent free coinage, as the
Republicans tell US, 1t twas passed in
spite ofpersistent Democratic oppo-
sition." But now, since the enhancing
picture ofprosperity drawn in the plat
form is not real, the Republicans are
eager to repudiate it and lay the blame
to Democrats. Instead ofsilver "rapid-
ly approaching the gold standard" it
has been falling away, and the country
has been only too sadly reminded that
commerce is not feeling the impulse
of increased prosperity" How absurd
ly untrue also that "farm products are
advancing in price" under the benign
Sherman law.
Then how absurd 1t is, in the face of
all this evidence, for our Republican
friends to go back upon the Sherman
law, when it is shown that the law Ia
clearly Republican measure, praised
in the press and applauded upon the
stump. Its repeal has been de-
manded by President Cleveland and
the business interest through the land.
For the condition of the country to-
day the people are indebted to the Re-
publican party, which has brought it
about through bad legislation, such as
the passage Of the Sherman law and
other measures, and much as the Re-
publican leaders may 90 back upon the
record they have made and try to shift
the responsibility upon the Democrats,
the people will hold them responsible,

honorable in the political sky of to-day.
His record is one of important steps,
though free from even the taint of sus-
picion. In other words the Democracy
of Ohio present for the consideration
of this great commonwealth new and
pure man to whom they point with
pride and ask for votes. They make
this request not only on the merits of
the man himself and the most praise
worthy platform on which he stands,
but also that his election will turn the
insidious face of McKinley-the work.
ingman's enemy,-to the wall; his elec-
ton will turn down the iniqnitous
methods by which Mckinley and the
Republican party have thrown salt in
our eyes, at the same time robbing our
families.
Lawrence T. Neal will be elected; he
will prove Wellington to Mckinley.
Our next Governor was born In Par
kersburg, West Virginia Sept. %, 1874
and was educated in a private school
of that town. At the age of IS he
graduated and engaged for1 year In
mercantile business. Not liking the
business, he entered the law office of
Hon. VIM. H. Stafford at Chillicothe
and was admitted to the bar In 1866.
In 1869 he was elected City Solicitor
of Chillicothe but declined re-nomi-
nation having been elected representa-
tive to the Legislature from Ross
County In 1859. Desiring to engage
more actively In the practice oflaw he
declined denomination.
In the year 1870 he was nominated
for Prosecuting Attorney at Ross
County after positive refusal In open
convention to accept the nomination,
and was elected. He did not, however
serve the full term of which he was
elected, having resigned the office in
consequence of his election to Congress
He was elected to the Add congres:
from the 7th Dist. in 1872; and re-elec
ted in 1874, by a majority nearly double
that received at his first election. He
was delegate to the Democratic
National Convention in 1880 held IL
Cincinnati.
The congressional district having
been changed ,and Ross County thrown
into district with Republican ma
ljority of 1000 it was thought that Larry
would be scared off the track, Not SO
however. The intrepid congressman
accepted denomination and went af
ter his opponent SO aggressively tina
he chopped his majority from 200
down to 10 votes.
In 1888 he was delegate to tn
Democratic National convention II
ST. Louis and served in that body as tn
Ohio member on Resolutions commit
tee. He had the honor of drawing
and offering in committee an amend
ment to the platform as proposed OIL
the tariff question, which by its adop
tion harmonized the conflicting ele
ments on this question, and he may b
fairly considered as the author Of tina
part of the platform as it came from
the committee and was presented {
and adopted by the convention. H

platform which favored revision Q

THE convention had to take Larry
Neal as last resort. Practically, the
campaign in Ohio is ended. The elec-
tion of Mckinley is assured by the
largest majority ever given to any
candidate for governor in this state

Should the Republicans bank much
upon such palaver, the Democrats
would sweep the state by the largest
majority ever given candidate Of
theirs for governor. On the contrary,
the Republicans will have to work hard

the chances then are that he will be
defeated.
