electricians Of the country, asking them
to raise money to put the tombs of Ben
jamin Franklin and his wife in good order,
erect q new fence and bronze memorial
tablet. At present the graves are sadly
neglected, the tombstones going to decay
because of the lack Of cement, and the
fence about them an ugly and tawdry iron
one. He says: "The estimated cost of
repairing tomb and making fence and

1880 hats in old time illustrations will
show the difference.
The everlasting sailor hat is still with
us. 1t Is a good thing, for no hat is SO un-
iversally becoming. We see 1t In the hor-
rid "shiny" style, and, oh, horrorI no
sense of propriety has kept 1t from being
trimmed. The one excuse for the patent
leather sailor was that water would not
hurt 1t. But what is the sense when upon
its glittering surface Is tenderly placed a
bow of soft ribbon and an upright rose.
Somebody has advised gauze quilting on
our maokintoshes, and rosettes on our
rubber boots, to match the trimmed pa
tent leather hat. Don't be deluded into
indulging in one of these ugly things.
They will not last. After all the fash
ion that persists Is the one that has
something of beauty or use to recommend
1t. Ny picture is a pretty round hat of
corn colored fancy straw, having the brim
be-t into double box pleat In front, and
lined with black velvet. In front are placed
a bunch of ostrich tips with two pink
roses on each side to initiate a peasant bow.

place by velvet and roses, aud tho tie
strings are of velvet ribbon. FLoRETrE.

mail service which has been tried In st.
Louis. 1t appears that an average of four
hours is now saved in the handling of
mail, q matter that is of immense i'm
portanee in these days. This electric mail
car in st. Louis makes three trips daily,
and something like 10000 pieces of mail
are handled upon 1t during these trips.
Rather more than ons-half the distance
covered lies outside the city limits, thus
giving vastly improved postal service to
the suburbs Three sub-ofices have been
established upon the route, at which
money orders can be purchased and
cashsd, and letters registered. With this
one car, 1t Is said, about one sixth of the
city Is now provided with this rapid mail
service, the value of which would appear
to be unqusstioned.
The ancient Egyptians praoticed shaving
from prehistoric times. Homer has an IL
lusion to the operation of shaving. The
Romans commenced shaving about 800
years before Christ. The ancient Romans
regarded the first day of shaving as the en-
trance upon manhood and the event was
made the subject of festivities. Alexander
the Great made his warriors shave because
he held that the bsard gave q handle to the
enemy. The Normans not only shaved
themselves, but forced the conquered to do
so. Many who would not submit to such
regulation left their country. In the
early part of the eighteenth century Peter
the Great ordered all his subjects to shave
and those who refused were forced to pay
heavy tax and submit to being shaved
with O dull razor or having the beard
plucked out by the roots.
Texas Is stirred up by an occurrence at
a recent murder trial at Columbus, In that
State. Arthur King was on trial for the
murder of Frank Williams, near Eagle
Lake, September II, 1899. The jury was
impaneled, and, 1t being late in the after
noon, the court adjourned for supper.
Evidently the Texas courts have expsdit-
ious methods which would shock the judi
oial aggregation and the bar of Chicago.
After supper the trial proceeded. The ex-
II O'Clock, when an adjournment was about
to be had. At that moment Judge Beaure-
gard Bryan, presiding at the trial,
was informed that Jud Williams, q
brother of the man for whose murder King
was on trial, had secretly passed flask of
whisky to B. L. Willis, one of the jury
men. Whatever malicious wits may say
of barbarious conditions at the south,
nothing in this instance justified their
jests. The trial was stopped. Judge
Bryan called up before him the juror
Willis and Jud Williams. Both were se-
verely reprimanded and Williams was sent
to jail, to stay there until the further Or
ders of the court. He then said that this
fagrant misconduct would be calculated
to throw doubt upon any verdict that
might be rendered and discharged the
jury. The action of Judge Bryan is uni
versally commended.

FASHION NOTES.


Incons1steney in Trimming.
The dressmaksrs have adopted SO many
of the characteristics of the gowns of sixty
years ago that they have shown some which
were altogether unhandsome. But the
milliners have been more careful and the
dreaded 1880 hat and bonnet has not ap-
peared at all. While big hats show long
ostrich plumes set somewhat wildly, two
or three, or four, radiating from COM
mon center, the hat of to-day displays a
sense of balance, beauty and proportion,
that steers 1t clear of grotesqueness or
awkwardness, no matter how startling its
course may be. A glance at some of the

Ihs ISSUE FAIRLY ON.

Lawrence 7. Neal. the next governor
of Ohio, is a Democrat of Democrats.
His faith in the sound, common sense
of the voting masses is as fixed as the
everlasting hills, He believes In the
men of the shop and the plow and their
rugged intelligence when it comes to
the final solution of the grave ques-
tion of governmental practice. Hence
his sublime and unwavering belief that
the people of Ohio will carry on to sue
cessful completion the work 30 well
begun last fall Of emancipating their
state from the clutches of the monopo-
lists and class servers. His calmness
of conviction carries with it zeal and
enthusiasm to the Democracy of Ohio
and is worthy the man who has been
chosen to lead Democratic hosts to sig
nal victory.
In his ringing, robust speech of &C.
ceptancs before the Ohio Convention
Mr., Neal sounded the keynote of the
campaign when he said: ..
Ohio is becoming a final battle
ground for protection. Gov. Nc
Kinley and the Republican party, with
a desperation born of despair, have
appealed from the voters of the whole
country to the voters of Ohio upon this
issue. Their appeal will be in vain.
Mckinley and McKinleyism are alike
doomed to irretrievable defeat. This is
an assured fact. 1t is as certain as
anything can be that has yet to
transpire. The people of Ohio will sus-
tain the judgment of the people of the
nation and will forever establish as a
principle, not under any circumstance
to be varied or abandoned, that public
necessity alone must mark and pre-
scribe the constitutional limits for the
imposition of taxes upon the citizen or
his property by either state or federal
government.

NO TIME FOR REPUBLICAN FooLlNe.

The Pittsburg Despatch admonishes
its brethren of the Ohio Republican
press, who are trying to make 1t appear
that Lawrence 7. Neal will be antag-
onized by President Cleveland in his
canvass for Governor Of Ohio, TO stop
their fooling and get down to business.
The Despatch says: I
While reports of this kind may be
expected among the tactics of fierce
campaign, it has been demonstrated
that MIR. Cleveland Is too broad man
to allow his personal differences with
any candidate to interfere with party
success. An attempt will likely be
made to create some feelings in this
matter, but the great mass Of Ohio Re-
publicans will not depend on petty de-
ceptions and the tricks of politicians
for success. The entire country will
watch the Ohio fight with the deepest
interest because the battle is to be
made upon the question of a protective
tariff and free trade, questions of ma
tional importance. The followers of
Major Mckinley are satisfied to fight
1t out along this line, and Mr.. Neal,
who has the courage to stand by his
convictions at all times and places,
seems equally willing. Consequently a
strong and vigorous campaign may be
looked for, and whatever the verdict
may be, 1t will likely have an influence
on Congress when the matter of tariff
legislation is reached later along.

GIVE US A JOINT DEBATE.

The News DEMOCRAT joins the
youngstown Vindicator in calling for
a series of debates between Hon. Law
renee T. Neal and Governor Mckinley
to take place at the central cities of
the State. The conditions, too, are en-
dorsed, in order that no Republican
brass band may be allowed to interfere
with Mr.. Neal in his arguments, as it
did with Governor Campbell, when his
Joint debate with Mckinley was on.
The Vindicator says:
Keep away the turmoil and the noise;
the exhibition of hired marchers ana
shouters and let the debates be con-
Quoted on the lines of reason, not i'm
pulse, noise and show.
Mr.. Neal is g thorough tariff re-
former of national prominence. Gov
ernorMcKinleyr represents the high tax
alton school. Both are eminent gentle
men. There is no good reason why
either should refuse to meet the other
it debate, except 1t be the reason OF In
ability to cope.
The advantages of such debates are
clearly apparent. They would draw
ont information as to the real merits of
the questions at issue not given in set
speeches. They would show the weak
and the strong features of both sides,
aud give splendid illustration of the
abilities of the men who are asking the
suffrage of the people.
BY all means let there be series
of debates.

FOUR CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR.
From the Columbus Press.

ftOh Ine COluLhOds FIesS.
Most all Ohioans know how McKin-
ley and Neal look, and the balance of
them will know how Macklin and
Bracken appear in cuts before the cam
paign closes. All the four nominees
for governor are abstainers from in
toxicating liquors, a fact that is re-
markable, considering the degeneracy
of modern politics. Besides that they
are all four men of clean lives and es-
timsble personal records with no stain
on their character.
Mckinley belongs to the G. A. r.,
knights of Pythias and to the M. e,
church. Neal is member of no organi-
zation, save the great Democratic party
of which he has from Doyhood been a
staunch advocate as Mckinley has
BEEN of the Republican party from its
organization. Rev. G. p. Macklin, the
Prohibition nominee, is minister of the
gospel of United Brethren denomina-
ton, we believe, and was once Metho-
dist. Mr.. e. s. Bracken, the Populist
candidate, Is editor of the Columbus
"Sun," the organ of the Ohio labor or.
ganizations of which he is a prominent
member. All the nominees are mar
ried and have families but Neal, who

a Stark county boy, in his rejOinder to

the pension question. He is quoted as
follows: "My position, in fact the po.
sition of the whole Grand Army, is
summed up in the brief order that l
issued after my election in September
That order was that all members of the

fairs, are requested, in case they know

lently, to report the case promptly to

OHIO SURE FOR DEMOCRACY.

The Chicago Record, in introducing
an interview with Col. W. A. Taylor.
Democratic nominee for Lieutenant
Governor refers to him as the statisti-
can of his party in Ohio. Certainly
there is no better informed man con-
cerning the men, measures and statis-
tics Of all political parties, either in
Ohio or out Of 1t.
Col, Taylor predicts the defeat of
Governor Mckinley and the sure tri-
umph of tariff reform at the Novem-
ber election, in a two column article
bristliDg with facts and statistics. We
quote in part:
"Flrst and foremost of my reasons
for confidence in Democratic success is
the fact that for many years the Re
publican party in Ohio has been disin-
tegrating and growing weaker. This
is largely due to the decadence of
leadership. Factionsl fights have help
ed to bring about the present state of
affairs. State issues have also cut some
figure, but the principal cause in Ohio,
as in other states, is the gradual edu-
cation of the people on the subject of
the tariff.
"For a great many years the Repub-
licans of Ohio would not listen to argu-
ments directed against the policy of
high protection. Skillful leaders filled
their ears with war talk, kept alive old
preiudices, waved the bloody shirt and
won the battles on the sentiment of the
COS. Democratic meetings were no,
we'll attended. Even the Democrats
were afraid to take an advanced posi-
tion on the tariff question. Franz
Hurd, Lawrence I. Neal and i went Il
convention after convention, pleading
for q bold party stand against the rob-
berry of high protection. 1t is only II

WE extend the hand of sympathy
and gratitude to the men who barred
their breasts on 1924 fields of battle
and carried the old flag in triumph over
every breastwork and across every
blood stained valley and hilltop from
Ohio to the gulf, and we this day make
to these men solemn pledge that, IL
successful, we shall again place in the
hands of their friends their pension
roll. That these friends shall say what
shall make it roll of honor, and not
their relentless enemies who fought
them at the front until they were
crushed, or the copperheads who crawled
in their rear and stung them with the
venom of treason.
The above resolution was passed by
the Mahoning County Republican Con-
vention, yes terday, in vain attempt
to recapture the veteran vote, which
has been so rapidly deserting the Re-
publican ranks, on the new economic
interests that have arisen. AS the

AN HONEST DOLLAR,

The American dollar is the constitu-
tional unit of value consisting of 3714
grains of pure silver, or 4l21S grains of
standard silver. The amount of pure
silver in a dollar has never been
changed since the foundation of our
government. The alloy has been. AT
one ii me the weight of dollar was 416
or Ar grains of standard silver, but in
that dollar there was the same amount
of pure silver that there is in a dollar
today.
Webster's dictionery, latest edition,
says: "The value of dollar is the
unit commonly employed in the United
States in reckoning money values"
Standing for the established unit the
Illinois State Register says:
1t is coin called dollar, consisting
3714 grains of pure silver, 1t has
never been changed, 1t is measure
of value, just as ayard Is an established
measure of length, consisting of three
feet, or as bushel is an established
measure of quantity, containing 32
quarts, or GA plnts, or a pound aver
dupoise Is an established measure of
weight, consisting of 16 ounces. No
one ever thinks of demanding that a
yard or bushel or pound shall be in-
creased or diminished in size, 10 matter
how numerous yardsticks or bashel
measures, or pound weights may be,
nor no matter how abundant the article
they measure may become. An honest
bushel is GA pints; an honest yard is 3
feet; an honest pound is 16 ounces.
Why, therefore, should not an Honest
Dollar remain as 1t always has been,
371l4 grains of pure silver, unless it
can be shown that it does not as fairly
and impartially measure values as it
ever did?
