Sun Down Mckay.

We would call him "Sunset, "wert
it not for the fact that, that soubri-
quet was long since applied to a dis
tinguished gentleman of Ohio and
New York who wore the title dur
ing life.
Strange to say e'Sunset" Cox
earned his title by glowing dis
cription of stormy sunset. which
description was published in the
Ohio Statesman, May 10, 1853, and
Bro. Mckay takes his new and
unique appellation by the same sort
of literary effort published in his
paper of September IL, 1894.
Some passages in McKay's des-
cription are glowing as the scene he
describes, as the following extract
will evidence.
"Just before the sun sank from
view there was all immense span of
clouds representing an enormous
suspension bridge with number of
piers and about it one could see the
shapes of men and beast with but
little stretch of the Imagination" "
Accepting the description as true
we are filled with wonder and curl
ositv.
We wonder how a SUSPENSION
bridge looks when set on piers.
We wonder what the men were
loafng about the bridge for at that
time OF day and We wonder what
kind of beast it was he saw.
Was it canine, bovine or porcine;
or was it in semblance of the beast
with seven heads and ten horns de-
scribed in the Apocalypse?
We have no doubt that the s'lit-
tie stretch of imagination" that he
saw with the men and beast pre-
sented remarkably fine appearance,
and that taken altogether the scene
was magnificently beautiful.
From the whole account we are
of the opinion that the surveyor had
just got firm grip on Jim Davis
ssfeld notes" or taken to new
brand of liquor.

The Sugar Tax.

A great deal has been said and
written about the so called Sugar
Senator's" the most of which is the
veriest rot. The President and Sec
retary Carlisle always advocated tax
upon sugar, and the fact is that the
thirty million dollars revenue, which
will be derived this year from that
source by the present law, could not
have been provided from any other
scource where the burden would fall
more lightly on the people. Even
with the tax imposed by the present
law the sugar ''trust'' has almost fif.y
per cent, less protection than it had
under the Mckinley law, so that if,
as Governor Mckinley charged in his
Bangor speech the other day, the
trust had a grip on the throat of the
democratic majority, what must have
been the hold of the saccharine monster
upon the necks Of the republicans
when they gave it all it asked for in
the Mckinley bill.
The widely circulated charge that
Senator Brice was specially interested
in the affairs of the sugar trust is false
as any false charge that was ever
made against a public man. The
sugar schedule was most important, of
course, as it was that, the Admins
tration and its friends were obliged to
look to for a very large amount of
the revenue necessary to conduct the
government. and had not the Admin
istration regarded it as absolutely
necessary to tax sugar, Senator Brice
and many other democratic Senators
would have been willing to vote for
Iree sugar.
The sugar tax, however, is a small
item of expense to the working man
of the country when compared to the
benefits derived from free wool and
the greatly reduced tax upon woolens
and manufactured woolen clothing, as
provided in the new law. The aver
age working mans family will spend
in year for woolen clothing at least
fifty dollars, and upon this the saving
will be over fifty per cent, or twenty
five dollars, based upon the fifty per
cent reduction in duties, while his
family Will consume annually about

gar. The planters politics, their
principles seems to be regulated by

We are glad they have resolved
to join the Republican party. That
is where they properly belong
When the Democratic legislature of
Louisiana prohibited the state lottery,
most of this same gang passed res
olutions and joined the Republican
party. The sugar boodlers and the
lottery gamblers are fit companions
and their proper place is in the Re-

to join.

Free Wool and the Farmer.

For more than a quarter of a
century wool has been protected by a
tariff, if such thing as protection in
this particular instance were pos
sible.
During all this time the price of
wool has surely and steadily declined
until the 60 cent article of 1854 be-
came the q cent wool of 1890.
But it required the three years of
the Mckinley law to fully confirm the
fact that a tariff on wool was an abso-
lutte detriment.
Under this law the wool which COM
manded 26 to % cents in 1890 drop
ped to IL to II for this seasons clip
and just before the repeal of the Nc
Kinley law threatened to go still
lower.
Republican newspapers howled and
Republican politicians croaked to the
effect that the placing of wool on the
free list would render worthless every
pound of American wool and send
every American sheep to the butcher
as a free gift.
The free wool clause of the tariff
bill became law little more than a
month ago, and the Projectors of dire
disaster have been waiting and strain
ing their ears for the ''dull thud' that
would mark the final end of the Amer
lean sheep industry, but they have
waited only to meet disappointment
and to find their grim predictions
groundless.
Since the new bill has become a
law wool has advanced from 2 to 4
cents per pound and sheep bring a
better price.
Industries that have been idle for
a year under McKinleyism have
sprung into new life and vigor, and
the indications of renewed and SUBJ
stantial prosperity. under the Demo
cratic policy, are bright as June
sunrise on cloudless morning.
Under these favorable omens let no
Democrat lag, but instead press for
ward until the victory is complete and
the people are free from the dark
damnable nominations of monopolies
and corporate trusts.

Democratic State COnven-
tiOn.

The Democracy of Ohio met in
State Convention in Columbus on
Tuesday afternoon. At the hour of
going to press, the Convention had not
completed its work. Full particulars
will be given next week.
Hooking County was represented
by the following delegation:
w Lowry, w. N. England, Nels
Armstrong, o. w. II. Wright, Col.
S. Wedy, Lewis Green, A. H Wilson
and DR.. Mansfield.
In the organization of the Conven-
ton, the 18th district was represented
as follows:
Resolutions: O. w. H. Wright, of
Hooking.
Central Committee: r. r. Freeman
of Ross.
Vice President: J. M. PEBBLES of
Meigs.
Credentials: Bernard Mechling of
Perry.
Permanent organization: E. R.
Lash of Athens.
Rules and order of Business: John
McNamara of Vinton.
The sentiment of the convention
was in favor of an endorsement by
Senator Brice on the Tariff question,
and the resolutions will be substanti-
ally the Resolutions of the Hooking
County Democracy, adopted in our
Convention on last Monday.
Senator Brice reached Columbus on
Tuesday evening and received a
grand ovation. He is the great Ohio
leader and the man of the future in
his party in this country.
The recent Convention was as
fine gathering of the representative
intelligence of the State as ever as
sembled in the capitol or any other
city within its borders, we have no
time this week to give a notice of its
proceedings,but they will please every
true Democrat.

THE opposition to Mr.. Cultivate
for reelection to Congress in the
Capital District has about petered out
AT first it was proposed to organize
against him on the Punctuation of
the Tariff Bill. This was too scholar
ly for disgruntled voters and was 500 n
abandoned. Then the Sunday News
raised the question of the complexion
of his tea. The News didn't like pink
tea" 1t was above the tone and
strange to the taste of penny royal
tea drinkers, who have risen in public
and society only to smell of black
and green tea. Pink tea was too tony
for the mud carriers, but the japanese
war coming on the issue on Outhwaite's s
tea lost consequence, and Connolly
and his cohorts, three all told, have
sunk into obscurity and silence.
The loudest and lastingest opposi-
tion to our distinguished democrat is
the Brass Band, the Barracks Band.
1t seems this band is about to leave, or
break up, or something. The Journal
and Dispatch are in mysteries over
the apprehended departure from Col
umbus of lot of brass horns and a
drum major. The loss is charged to
Cultivate and because the Barracks
band no longer affiicts the evening air
to the joy of tramp, and loafer
around the arsenal, the greatest, the
ablest, the cleanest, the most useful
member in Congress in the great Par
lament of the American Republic
must, forsooth, be defeated.
Shame on such senseless opposition.
Fight Outhwaite because he is a Dem
ocrat because he is leader, because
he is heroic American man, and
then there will be some honor in the
opposition made to him. Pink tea,
brass band, didn't get Office, and such
stuff !!
Cultivate will be elected by his
usual majority and the democrats W no
oppose him will hide from the scorning
eyes of straight going men.
