ChiO's Indian Names.

Ohio has more counties bearing In

older western states. Even Delaware

recognition. Coshocton comes from the

MEANING OF THE VICTORY.
improved Business and Abundant Pros
pcrity.


The republican victory in the con-
gressional elections was brilliant and
conspicuous. There was an adverse
democratic plurality of ninety-two to
overcome, a lead which has seldom
been exceeded by any party in any con-
gress, but it was easily blotted out and
q republican majority of ample pro-
portions put in its place. It is a VIC
tory over which the republicans can
well afford to exult- They had heavy
odds to contend against at the outset
because of the tremendous majorities
rolled up by the democracy in 1890 and
1892, and on account of the prestige
thus gained by that party, but they
surmounted all the obstacles enthus-
iastically and grandly, and secured q
ajority sufficient TO give this canvass
a prominent place among the half a
dozen great revolutions which have
occurred in the elections OF congresses.
The election has given the coup de
grace" to the idea that the south must
be solid for the democracy at all times
and under all circumstances. The re-
publican gains in that quarter indicate
that some of the states will be fairly
debatable hereafter like those Of the
north, and that no one party has a
perpetual lien upon the suffrage of
that section. In the present house the
democrats have one hundred and twen-
ty-one of the one hundred and twenty
seven members chosen in the sixteen

ANOTHER BOND ISSUE.
The People to Be Further Burdened by
Democratic Extravaganza.


The announcement is made from
Washington that the secretary of the
treasury-haviug freed himself of the
inglorious Howard case-is about to
ask for bids for 100000 United
States bonds. 1t is learned in advance
that these bonds can be disposed OF in
New York city for their market value
in gold. This is necessary to repair
the inroads in the gold reserve and to
rehabilitate the treasury, which, un-
der Gr. Carlisle's management, has
never been able to make both ends
meet
The effect of this bond issue on the
business OF the country should be
good, though as matter Of fact the
currency locked up in the banks to-
day is, if it were released, more than
ample to meet all the demands of trade,
and if this addition helps in any way
the help will be sentimental. We are
told that these will be per cent.
bonds on 3 per cent. basis, which is
form of financial juggling to begin
with to which the United States can
not well afford to be q party. If per
cent is to be the basis, then it would
seem to be plain common sense that
the bonds should be 8 per cent, for
the government cannot afford to be a
party to a speculation. The fves
issued last February whom the gold
reserve-which, under the law, should
be kept at s1Oo, 900, ,O00-had sunk to

was the largest single carload of baled
cotton that ever arrived in Boston, and
consisted of liz bales. They weighed

of Commerce says that Is bales more

The average capacity of box car is
$4,000 pounds, SO that this load Of cot
ton overrun the standard by 5000
pounds, and is estimated to be so per
cent. more than Is put in the same
space when the bales are packed in the
old-fashioned way.
The increased capacity is produced
by what is termed the Bessonette COM
press, a new method of baling recetly
patented BY this method the bales
arc made round. They are about4 feet
. inches in length and 2 feet in diane
ter, with an average weight of about
500 pounds. and are intended to take
the place of the old-time boX-bales. BY
this method the cotton is taken from
the condenser and is rolled intoa cylin-
drical bale, compressed as it is rolled
up. The air is thus forced out Of the
thin layer or mat, as it comes out Of
the condenser. and is kept out by be-
ing rolled between two ponderous roll
ers of several tons each.
The invehtor claims many advan-
tages in cost and protection of the
fiber, and cotton men think this syS-
tenn of round baling will, in a great
measure, revolutionize the exporting
business. While rs or so of the old box
bales will completely fill car, it is
claimed that ll5 or more Of the round
| can be stuffed into a car.
