The farmers who were led into voting
for Cleveland by the promise that they
would get 40 cents for their wool and
S1.25 for their wheat, the mill man who
was assured that his wages would at once
be increased, and the laborer who was
promised two or three dollars day, are
doing a mighty sight of thinking and
talking too, these days. Their reflections
are speculations as to just the size OF
fools they were, and their talk is an
av oval that they will never again be thus
caught, These times are making lots OF
Republicans, Contrast this year with
last and the reason is not hard to see.

The fact that the State Liquor League
has declared its intention to take part in
the election this fall in behalf of candi-
dat es pledged to repeal laws obnoxious
to the league and to secure the enactment
of laws in favor of the whisky men, may
have had something to do with the NOM
ination of the Guernsey county man by
the Democracy of this county. He is to
some extent affiliated with the saloon in
terest now, and it is not improbable that
he expects to receive the endorsement of
our liquor dealers. But even that will
not elect him Representative.

So universal is the desire for the repeal
of the Sherman law, and the people have
such confidence that the repeal OF that
measure will cause the financial sky to
brighten, that it is probable that things
will assume a more cheering aspect IN
the event of its repeal, even though that
measure may have little to do with our
financial troubles. Just as faith acts to
help man that is sick, just so will the
repeal of the Sherman act give the peo-
ple more confidence. What is needed
now is confidence, and we want anything
that will give us confidence.

The Democrats of this county are not
slow to admit, when approached on the
question, that the only thing they hope
to gain this year is Commissioner, and
that the whole ticket was framed with
that idea. 1t is kind and considerate in
them to give up everything-one office
excepted-thus early in the campaign, but
they will also find when the campaign is
over that it is but wise to also release
their claim on the Office of Commission
er. Mr.. Yost may be a good man, but
he will not be elected Commissioner this
year.

PENCIL POINTERS.

The trouble with these hard time is the
fact that they are only beginning. The
CHRONICLE does not wish to pose as an
aIarmist, but there seems no other logl-
cal outcome of the present conditions. A
Democratic victory has plunged the most
prosperous country on the earth from
prosperity into distress; has closed mills,
thrown hundreds of thousands of work
ing people out of work, wrecked strong
financial institutions, smashed prices and
weakened every healthy business actlvi-
ty. These are the results of prospective
legislation. What then will be the result
should this proposed legislation become
actual? There is no relief to the situa-
ton. If the Democrats in control repeal
theMcKinley bill, a condition hundred
fold worse than the present will be the
speedy and inevitable result. If they do
nothing with the tariff, the present un-
certain condition continues. Oh, what
thick headed idiots the American people
have shown themselves.
The members of the Tacoma Board of
Trade have level heads, as is indicated
by their resolution in favor OF the repeal
of the Sherman law, and unanimous
expression of sentiment against any
change in the tariff. Governor Flower
the Democratic Chief Executive of New
York, also tells the Democracy to repeal
the Sherman law and let the tariff alone
This is just what every man uninfiuenced
by partisan considerations, wants. AL
mills were running, and there is every rea
son to believe that they would at once re
sumo if pledge were given that there
would be no tariff changes for year a
least. But unless this pledge is glveI
there is prospect of thousands in Idle
ness and pinchlng times this winter.

An Eminent Success.

The France Medical Institute, located
at 3S and 40 West Gay Street, Columbus,
Ohio, is having an extensive business.
A News reporter called at the Institute
and found DR.. France and his assistants
in the midst of throng of patients.
Their consultation rooms present hand
some appearance, having been remodeled
and refurnished throughout. The doctor
is a most affable gentleman, and the
patients who visit him at once realize
that they are in the presence of friend;
a man of not only extraordinary skill IN
his profession, but with a heart full of
sympathy and interest that at once gives
new hope and encouragement. The class
of patients who call at the Institute are
not from the ignorant and unlettered,
but from those whose cultured minds
have led them to discern the advantage
of the physician who makes chronic dis
eases speciality, over those who are in
the regular practice They have had
hundreds of patients in Columbus and
surrounding cities, who would bear testi-
mony to their skill if called upon, but
they refrain from publishing their names
and portraits to advertise themselves, out
of consideration for those who naturally
shrink from having themselves paraded
before the public, and they thank them
for their kind consideration.

Commissioner of Pensions Lochren has

well as wronged by the suspension of
their monthly support.

President Cleveland sent his message to
Congress on Tuesday. 1t deals wholly
with the silver question, and of course
recommends the repeal of the Sherman
law, a measure which he calls truce be-

men, He says incidentally that the tar
iff can wait. The message is short and
to the point, and had he recommended
that the tariff be not touched during his
term, it would have been notable doc
ument.

PALo ALTO, June 25.-Y Yesterday was a
sad day at Menlo Park. All that was
mortal of Senator Stanford, one of the
projectors in closing the long link OF
railroad communication between the Pa
citic and Atlantic coasts, the friend of all
Californians and the founder of that
great institution of learning, the Leland
Stanford Jr. University, was laid away
in the grounds of the university at Palo
Alto. The remains were followed to the
grave by thousands, and a more i'm
pressive funeral cortege has never been
seen on the coast. Although the solemn
procession did not leave the Palo Alto
mansion until l o'clock, the crowds be-
gan to gather at an early hour in the
morning in and about the grounds.
Along the wide roads shaded by spread
ing palms and through the grounds OF
Palo Alto the crowds struggled in groups,
centering at the main entrance of the
quadrangle of the university to await the
coming Of the cortege.
Shortly after noon three trains pulled
up at the main entrance TO the quad
rangle bearing the friends and employees
OF the deceased. Rarely has there been
seen such crowd as that emptied from
the coaches. 1t was decorus gathering
no pushing or crowding or signs of i'm
patience. With the rest, the newcomers
had to wait until the hearse passed within
the portals OF the quadrangle before they
could be admitted.
Meanwhile the preparations for the
burial were being made at the house
quietly and without the slightest ostenta-
ton. The body lay in somber casket
in the northwest room-the one adioin-
ing that in which the Senator breathed
his last-and about the coffin great
masses of sweet flowers were grouped,
shedding their fragrance on the air.
During Friday night Mrs. Stanford
rested comfortably and held up bravely.
but at intervals she broke down, and
there were moments when she was over
come by her grief, when her pent-up
feelings found relief in tears. In the
morning she was sufficiently strong to
receive few friends, only her most init
mate ones being allowed to see her. She
made inquiries as to the observance OF
her husbands S last requests, and saw that
they were carried out to the letter. She
had been through the same trying ordeal
before when her son, her joy and her
hope, had been brought home to her an
inert mass Of clay, and she bore UP now.
as she did then, with true Christian forti-
tude, and tried to appear resigned.
Senator Stanford had requested that fhe
obsequies should be of the simplest order.
and his wishes were respected as far as
possible.
one of the most touching incidents in
connection with the funeral arrange
ments was the attention shown to the
employees of the ranch. They were the
truest mourners outside of the family
and all of them were given places of
prominence. They headed the cortege
and occupied seats near the casket during
the service, and tears furrowed their
rugged checks as they listened to the
eulogy of their dead master by DR.. Steb-
bins.
