SPEAKING of the quandary in which
the Ohio Democrats find themselves, the
Pittsburgh Dispatch saws:

1t has been years since the party found itself in
such chaotic condition at this date from a con-
vention. At present there is absolutely nothing
to indicate the mapping out of plan of action by
the leaders. Ambitious asprants for the leading
place on the ticket have been doomed by petty
factions, but not a man has been named who has
commanded anything like unanimous support from
the party organization. Just now the Cleveland
Plain Dealer and a few lesser lights in the array
of party organs are engaged in manufacturing
sentiment in favor of Judge Pearson, whose fame
is circumseribed by the limits of Monroe county.
This system Of bringing out new candidates day
after day is in itself evidence of weakness, but
the organs engaged in it explain their actions
away by shifting the burden of responsibility on
the convention in statements to the effect that
the body will overlook all personal ambitions in
striving for the success Of the whole ticket.

ESSENTIALLY DISHONEST.

New York Tribune.
A year ago a convention of ardent
and robust Democrats assembled in
Chicago for the purpose of nominating
a National ticket and constructing
platform on which the candidates might
be borne to victory. The proceedings
were animated from the outset, and
finally a sufficient amount of heat was
generated to fuse divergent views upon
the tariff into the sonorous declaration
that "Republican Protection is fraud,
a robbery of the great majority of the
American people for the benefit of a
few" a "cnlminating atrocity," and "un-
constitutional" Thereafter, throughout
the campaign, large number of flaming
zealots sat in newspaper offices or trav-
eled about the country proclaiming the
superlative truth and sagaeity of this
deliyerance. And after the election

Ingenious.

Every phase of human life will be ex-
hibited at the Worlds Fair. Even the
criminal industries are to be illustrated
by an exhibition of the tools and imple-
ments of the burglar and poacher.
English gamekeHpers and landowners
were long ago invited to supply the ex-
hibition with the appliances of the
poacher's trade. The London Spectator,
commenting on this invitation, says that
the apparatus of the old poacher was
very simple. and depended for its work
ing upon the ingenuity of the man.
On property where the rabbit shoot
ing was strictly preserved, a boy was
caught with two dead rabbits in his
possession, and nothing that could ac-
count for their deceaSe. \ search of
his pockets revealed nothing but two
small live crabs. the end of candle and
a box of matches.
Under promise of release. the urchin
was persuaded to disclose his method
of procedure
First he selected likely burrow, and
0iI0h NJ o1iiPPou oh Ills CIoIleS, putting
his coat over one hole, his trousers over
another, and his shirt over the third.
He lighted the candle end, dropped little
of the grease upon crabs back, stuck
the lighted candle on it and then put the
crab at an unoccupied opening.
Straightway the frightened torch
bearer fled sideways into the darkness,
and explored the innermost depths;
while the boy, expectant as terrier,
waited outside. Presently rabbit
bOlted into the coat. and boy. rabbit and
coat all rolled over together.
The boy rose from the fray with the
rabbit in his clutches.

Blaming the Dentists.

"Talk about the exports of gold upset.
ting our financial system" said the eco
nomic reformer as he bit crescent out
of doughnut in Park row lunch ba-
zaar. 1T isn't the exporting that is driv-
ing our gold out of the treasury. No,
sir. The trouble is with the pluggers-
the high toned tooth pluggers. They are
ramming cool $1,000,00O worth of gold
away into the back teeth of the Ameri-
can people every year. That means just
so much of the yellow metal lost to trade
and commerce every IL months-lost
completely and irretrievably. This must
be stopped. Let congress pass law pro-
hibiting the use of gold in filling teeth,
and the monetary pressure will begin to
ease up in no time. When our gold is
drawn away from us by business trans
actions with foreign nations, we can get
it back in due time through the natural
processes of trade, but when it is plugged
away in the cavernous molars of our
purse proud dudes and millionaires it is
locked up so tight that a writ of foreign
attachment couldn't reach it. This bust
ness must stop, or the government will
slump before the next shad season opens.

1t would be but businesslike for
farmers to open an account with the
Democratic Administration. 1t could
easily be done. The average prices for
products received during Harrison's Ad-
ministration, compared with the prices
current now, would very fairly show
what each man loses in one year under
Democratic good ~ times. Try it and
you can figure it out pretty accurately.
1t is question of business, not senti-
ment.

Freaks of Lightning.

Three men named Lofts, a father and
two sons, residents of Jackson township,
Noble county, took shelter under large
tree during a recent electrical storm. A
flash of lightning struck George, one of
the sons, squarely in the breast, passed
down his lower extremities, and entered
the ground. He was horribly burned
about the breast and limbs, and remained
unconscious until II o'clock at night
when he rallied and returned to consci-
business. The other son and the father
were stunned, but only for short period

The proposition TO allow banks to
issue notes to the par value of the Gov
ernment bonds deposited to secure their
circulation, instead of for only 80 per
cent. of the par value of such bonds, is
likely to meet with favorable considera-
tion at the hands of Congress. Under
such an arrangement the notes would
be no less secure than now, while the
increase would also prove welcome
addition to our circulating medium.

SPEAKER CRISP predicts that the
special session of Congress will not last
over 60 days, and that the Sherman law
will be repealed without much difficulty.
Also, that nothing will be done with the
tariff until the regular session. This
will give an opportunity to discover
whether the repeal of the Sherman law
will restore confidence, and whether the
tariff has not something to do with the
financial unrest.

Should Have Kept On Digging.

Mrs. H. L. Dutfey, of near Antioch,
called on us Friday. She said that her
little daughter Katie recently had quite
an uncommon experience. While at play
upon the ground near the house she found

ter. Digging into the ground about six
inches she found another and about a
foot deeper another. They were dated

THE money question ought not to be
a political question, and at the coming
session of Congress partisanship ought
to be laid aside and the result worked
out as seems best for the good of the
country. Any monkeying with the
finances of the country is at all times
hurtful, and especially so at the present
when everything seems tending towards
disaster.
