There is no doubt that Gov Mckinley win
be renominsted this fall There IA. however.s
doubt TO his reelection l do not think
that he will be reelected The republican
party in Ohio il not united or harmonious.
Gov. Foraker was defeated in his ambition 30
hold the seat in the United States Senate nov
occupied BY Senator Sherman mainly through
the efforts Of Mckinley and his friends and the
innuences OF the last administration. While For

nation 10 IL certain that he will not dc ANYTHING
that will aid him in his reelection. and this
feeiing IL shared by Foraker's FINE nds. For

II think that the democrats will carry the
legislature also. There are no specially vital
state issues which Will come up. and the tariff
must necessarily be the main issue again As
The republicans only beat ne by about LOO
votes last wear almost certain this wear Of
Carrying the state Lots OF republicans who
are lukewsrm upon the tariff issue have changed
and are nocking TO the standards Of the de-
mocracy. As We believe that we have every
thing on our side the tariff question ne
think that the hight on this ground will inurs
greatly TO the benefit OF the democratic party.
'ohlo Is large manufacturing state, but the
sentiment for tariff reform has spresd yery
extensively and among all classes. Thi. tide Of
sentiment Is advancing instead OF recedinG

Congressman Moses Stevens OF Massachu-
setts. who is one Of the largest wooden manu-
fac:Irers and an authority on the subject, In Q
chat at the Arlington this morning with Tnr
Stan representative said:
Tho wooden trade, like every other businsss
has its ups and downs As everybody knows 10
has not OF recent years boon very prospsrous
and everybody interested has his opinion q 10
the cause thereof. The manufacturers Of heavy
| WOODEN goods have done WELL but the manu-.
| facturers Of light goods have not.
with free wool and fair rate Of duty az
! ~ per cent on manufactured goods, I think
| that business Will be very good. In my opinion
| q bill TO make wool free will pass both houses
| OF Congress at the next session. There win BE-
| no republican Senate TO kill the measure, e. was
the case in the Fifty-second Congress. Nov
that the democrats have come into power opoe
more q great many wooden manufacturers have
been converted to the free wool theory and have
come over to our side. / have always been In
I favor Of the proposition and would not join the
Wooden Manufacturer Associaf ton because they

But all business has its fluctuations. Tsks

manufacturers at Fall River we're not making

per cent The cotton trade has been brisk.
Cotton sold for z cents AID simultaneous With
this low figure the price Of cotton goods went
up and everybody has made money out Of Il.

"False teeth alone can stand Il"
SCIENTISTS hope that the practice Of ssrv4ne

be maintained" said q weli-known dental sur
geon to The STAR representative at an uptown
hotel people eat q lot of hot food and then
will eat iced punch, frequently in altsrnsts
mouthfuls Then they will drink large quanti-
ties Of ice water and wind up their meal BY eat

teeth the enamel Of which IL 90 hard that they
can bite nails but a rule this does not hold
| true with guests at frst~class hotels. The al
| ternate placing Of hot and cold substances in
the mouth, as is well known, cracks the enamel
and causes decay. But the main point IL that
1t also causes leaks, that is, it looseus fllnes
