lilo has a right upon Republican poll
tics, Ohio and national. A good, game
man. Isn't afraid to tell his story.
Don't wonder that no 10 popular with
the Grand Army mon and the soldiers
ha served with all over the United
States. Foraker is very handsome
man. Pleasant manners. Agreeable in
speech, and has q youthful way about
him that lmpresses one 80 favorabIy.
One thing sure. II he has got any
views on a question lie Is not afraid to
announce them. lie is not u sneak.
Isn't that a nice character to have?
In politics, though, he Is just pizen.
Can't SEQ a good thing about q Demo-
crat Wouldn't give a Democrat an
Office to save his HE. Thinks they are
all made for Republicans, or else the
country Is being cheated. Tom Reed,
l.. r. Morton, J. Donald Cameron ought
to have been in New York city to-day
and have had q TAX With Foraker.
Believe me, no will be something IN the
bar fight when the national Republican
convention takes place. Great man TO
talk over the situation with, and II any
Que OF tho gentlemen | named could
yet close to him it wouldn't DO bad
thing In case OF storm in the conven'
liou, White the Ohio delegation will be
for Mckinley, yet in case Of STAN
peds, believe me, Foraker will land 1t,
lie Is great to head stormlng party.

Tho "NIcrern Sesrecrow.

In 1899, when the Democrats were
afraid they were going to lose We't Viz
Rinia, they hit on the buCabOo oil mixed
schools as just the thing that would
irighlen Ignorant Democrats 10 keep
them in line. They said that il tue Re-
publicans carried the state 1t was their
intention to huddle white children and
colored children together in the schoOl''
and, worse than that, white children
would have "nigger" teachers put over
them.
Some Of the ISrELudEScER's readers
will recall a biz poster showing A "nig-
ger" school teacher whipping q white
child. Since then West Virginia has
had q Republican legislature, but tile
"nigger" school teacher has not whip
ped tho white child. That poster will
not be used again in West Virginia.

same scarecrow to Tighten tie disgust

said IN English naval officer First
your monitors, Merrimac and Moni-

have perfected a steel projectile
which seems able to penetrate any

inches bore, takes seven hundred
pounds of powder at charge, car
ries a shot weighing a ton aud can
be loaded aimed and discharged by

by which it is operated, 1t should
always be remembered, however,
that the effectiveness of these enor-
