the army and driving it out of the Dis
tricJ of Columbia. A pressing invitation
to labor will, he thinks, strike terror to
their hearts as nothing else will. No
doubt Mr. Hines is right. An cpportuni-
ty to labor is just what the Army of the
Commonweal is trying to avoid. All
along the route there have been plenty
of bad roads which might have been
improved by the use of the pick and
shovel by the army. Many farmers
along the route would have been glad to
employ some of the trampers in their
spring work. But they have all refused
to do work Of any kind. They have
preferred to be mendicants begging
their sustenance from day to day. They
would like to continue in that role in
definitely. Anybody who looks upon
this crowd as honest but unfortunate
laboring men, willing to work. but find
ing nothing to do,is suffering from de-
fusion. They are simply professional
tramps. and all the sympathy expended
upon them is wasted. Mr.. Hines sizes
them up correctly.

No historical subject is more entranc-
ing than the story of early French dis
coveres and settlements in North
America. Cartier, Champlain, Castine,
Frontenac, La Sale, are men about
whose names cluster all the romance of
knight errantry, who have made the
tangled and dangerous wilderness
around the St. Lawrence and the Great
Lakes TEEN with memories of adventures
which seem at times too wonderful for
sober history. Parknian's genius opened
this region to the reader, and no one
has ventured to rival him in this field.
In recent work, however, Justin
Wlnsor has supp emented, or rather
reviewed much to good purpose the field
traversed by the older historian. Mr..
Winsor has not attempted in his Cartier
to Frontenac 1854 to ITO, connected
story of explorations i'll the interior of
North America. He rather studies
those operations in their historic rela-
tions. The reader is taken to the sources
of information. and has presented to
him copies of the original charts and
drawings of the explorers-maps of
Cartier. drawings of Iroquois forts by
Champlain, Hennepin's picture of the
buffalo, etc. Portraits of the explorers
also add interest to the work. 1t should
not be inferred that the work is dull be-
cause it deals with the subject critically
rather than descriptively. The stories
of the deeds of Champlain, Frontenac
and La Sale are well told, and in a
more compact and convenient form
than is afforded by the more extensive
works of Parkman. Boston: Hough-

Judge Morrison of Phillips, IN long
letter to the Pennington Chronicle, an
nounces his withdrawal as candidate for
the Republican nomination for Congress
in the Second District. In the course OF
his letter Judge Morrison says
Notwithstanding inactivity on my part,
l have had many offers of support, and
could go into the convention with re-
spectacle following. But the call does not
seem to be general. The people of the
country places have not awakened and
claimed the right to send me or some
other man from the agricultural portlon
of the district. | sincerely thank those
friends who have honored me with their
support Their efforts have been honest
but their mum bers are too few. This is
through no fault of theirs. They have
been working for a principle. but the
time is, not opportune. 1t is my duty to
release chem from all consideration of
myself in connection with the coming
convention, which now do.
it is not quite clear what this princi-
pie that Judge Morrison's friends have
been working for is. An explanation is
needed. There is a suggestion in the
letter that Judge Morrison withdraws
because the people of the country places
have not awakened and claimed the
right to send some man.from. the agricul-
tural portion of the district. With due
respect to Judge Morrison, without in
tending to insinuate any unf1tness on his
part to represent the district, we think
it is altogether to the credit of the
country people that they have not set up
any claim of right to send man to Con-
gress because he lives in the country.
When the people of a district undertake
to discriminate between the city and the
country in selecting Congressional candi-
dates when they introduce the principle
if that is the principle here involved-that
because the majority of the voters live
in the country therefore the COMPRESSION
al nominee should be a man from the
country, then they are in fair way to
ignore the true grounds on which cam
didate for Congress should be chosen.
1t is to be hoped that the country will
never be awakened in the way that Judge
Morrison suggests.

If You Want a Buggy!

Some important reasons why you
should buy, for strictly A Grade Buggy
the Troy Carriage Co.'s work.
1st. Because they make but one grade
of work, and that is the very best that
labor and material can produce.
I'd. Because the guarantee put on the
work is for two years.
Sd. Because.the trimmings are of the
very best of cloth.
4th. Because the Top is full Hand
Butfed Leather.
9th. Because they use as few mallea.
bles in their work as any factory in the
State.
9th. Because the wheels are of Sec.
ond Growth Hickory.
7th. Because for style, appearance,
quality and durability, it can not be
excelled.

sortment of the above work at Anders,

ordered uniforms and expect to receive
them in about two weeks, soon after
which the Rank will be regularly insti.

learn that the committee an the Soldiers
Monument is meeting with splendid
success in the way of subscriptions to

beyond the danger line. Success is a

soon. In order to make this memento
one of magnificent proportions, every

it. We would rather see no monument

would strike the beholder as a carved
monument to the parsimony of it's build

After Mayor Davis took his seat Toast.
master Hughes announced that, though
not on the program, Prosecutor Garrett,
OF Highland county, was present and
had consented to make few remarks,
though he had not come prepared for
the occasion. Mr.. Garrett convulsed
his audience with laughter in his comic
description of the discovery of Hillsboro
by the outside world, after the railroad
was built from Blanchester to that point;
also, by the force of circumstances that
brought DIR. B l.. VanWinkle in our
midst. In closing his remarks Mr.. Gar.

our K. of P. Lodge and the banquet,
and astonished all by his eloquence and
ability as an impromptu speaker.

It's Too Cheap.

"One of the very best fertilizers is un-
known, and yet it was discovered 200
years ago. 1t is too cheap and easily
obtained, being nothing but lime and
salt water. Wherever it has been used
it has been found superior to almost
any fertilizer on the market, and the
preparation is very simple. Slack the
lime to thin plaster with a strong So
luton of salt in water. The muriate of
lime is one of the microscopic of water
absorbing substances known among
chemists as reagents, and when it exists
in the soil the warmth of the sun, es.
pecially during dry summer, has much
less influence. In countries subject to
drought this treatment of the soil is in
valuable, and there are very few places
to which it is not adapted. Salt is
good fertilizer in itself, as is lime, and
the combination is superior to anything
else that can be used, and is cheaper
than almost anything that can be bought
for the purpose.

On Monday the firm OF Virgins &
Ayres consummated long protractet
and complicated deal for which they de
serve unstinted praise. On Tuesday, Eu
gene Zimmerman, the millionaire Vice
President OF the o., H. & D., took final
and full possession of the Hillsboro Fail
Grounds, paying about $1,000 for the
ground. He will put a force to work al
once fixing up the track and grounds,
after which he will remove his large
stable Of fast flyers from Chillicothe to
this place. The Hillsboro track is to be
training place and winter he adquar.
ters, not only for his own celebrated
stock, but for that of others.
With Mr.. Zimmerman's co operation /,
fair association will be formed, and it
isproposed to have two meetings (spring
and fall) each year. This year the first
will be in August, the second late in the
fall. This will draw here some of the
best horses in the country.
The we'll known John Woods is Mr..
Zimmerman's trainer, and will be in
charge of the grounds.
This deal has been on hand some time.
But, there were peculiar complications.
Part of the grounds had been sold in
city lots, and two houses had already
been erected. To get this ground back
again and reconcile all interests at rea-
sonable cost was delicate undertaking,
and required the most consumate skill
of this well known firm. That it was
successfully accomplished is a matter
for sincere congratulation to the citizens
of Hillsboro. 1t will be worth many
thousands to our business interests
every year.

"Only Waiting"

City Council met Monday evening and
passed the ordinance found in another
column submitting to vote the addition al
bond issue for water works purposes
1t will be seen that, under the best con.
ditions, it will be July or August before
the Trustees of the water works can
secure the necessary funds. Had the
question carried in the affirmative the
first time, the funds would have proba-
bly, been in hand in time to start the
plant and continue the work of laying
service pipes, etc, without interruption.
However, it's better late than never.
One thing seems certain. We will have
plant that we may well feel proud of
when the work is completed. Besides
this, we will have pure, healthful
water from the deep, sandy soil of Clear
Greek Valley, a beverage whose use will
lessen the mortality from Bright's dis
ease, typhoid fever and other deadly
maladies.
The Water Works Solicitor finds in his
rounds that there is very prevalent
prejudice against the lead pipe which,
on account of its durability, the engineer
requires from the main to the curb.
Whether or not there is really any iniu.
rious effect upon water passing through
lead pipe, it is impossible to convince
many people that water delivered thus
is not more or less poisonous. On the
merits of this question we are not quail.
fed to judge. But, under the circum
stances, it looks as if the lead service
pipe must not be insisted upon, if the
maximum of patronage is desired.

Right They Are.

The churches have decided to refuse
the use of their auditoriums to all pay
entertainments. We are inclined to
think they have taken proper course.
On general principles, the House of God
should not be given over to the money
changers. But, more pertinent and
materially important is the fact that, so
long as the churches open their doors
to public entertainments of promise u
GUS character, so long will there be lack
ing an urgent incentive for the erection
OF an appropriate public hall.

FOUR GREAT GENERALS.
Colonel Fitch Talks of Grant, Thomas,
Sherman and Sheridan.

Notwithstanding the many counter
attractions large audience greeted Col.
M. H. Fitch at the First Presbyterian
Church last night. The subject of his
lecture was "Four Great Generals" !"
These four he found in the federal forces
of the late war-U. S. Grant, George H.
Thomas, William T. Sherman and Phil
Sheridan.
The Colonel was eminently fitted to
speak of these four Generals, as he knew
them by intimate acquaintance on the
field. For three years he was colonel of
the Twenty. first Wisconsin in the army
of the Cumberland
He placed Grant first by reason of his
pre-. eminence as a commanding officer
and by reason of his being twice made
the executive head Of the United States.
He believed Sheridan to have the high.
est military training, and best in cases
of emergency. He was active, ever
ready and far seeing He could success
fully change his plans in the face of the
enemy where other generals might have
failed.
- The lecture was really u criticism and
comparison OF the four generals from
observation and not from books, In
comparing Thomas and Sherman, both
graduates and classmates at West Point
and close friends, he thought Sherman
was given the preference, when by rights
Thomas should have been picked out
on account of his military record.
The lecture was most instructive.

Ride" in an able manner. Sheridan will
live longer through that piece of litera
ture than through his actual achieve.
