MOTHER is DEAD.

AS the shades of evening hovered
round another dying day, on Decem-
Der 23rd, 1894, they darkened about
our home; and as the twilight fell
they beckoned Mother away.
Mother Weibel was born near Bar
rem Run, Westmoreland county, Pa,
on July 9th, 1907, aged 81 years, 5
months and IA days. Her husband,
Henry Weibel, preceded her in death
about 90 years ago. Unto these par
ents were born ten children, two
having already passed on before,
leaving eight to mourn the loss OF a
kind mother. She became a church
member at the age of 16, and has
been faithful. ever since. A short
time before che departed this life she
prayed God to help her and take her
into His Kingdom. She was laid away
beside her husband to await the
resurrection morn. The long energy
which had supported her so long fled
to Heaven and she sank into the
friendly arms which were extended to
receive her in the Haven of Rest.
And now as as we think of the form
that is mouldering there among the
dead it will be q mournfull comfort
to come at times and think of the
mother who was once the idol of our
hearts. Sad indeed is the loss we
have sustained in the death of our
dear mother; and now while she has
departed and gone, when the cares
and coldnessy Of the world come with
ering to our Hearts, when we learn
how hard it is to find true sympathy,
how few will befriend us in our mis-
fortune, then It is that we think of
the kind mother we have lost. 1t is
true we had alwaysfloved our mother
even in our, most needless days OF
childhood when we weret led by a
mothers hand and rocked to sleep in
mothers arms and were without
care and sorrow. But, alas, her last
hour had come, her vision grew dim,
the last sound of earthly friendship
died on her ears and her soul trem-
bled between two worlds; the cold
sweat was standing on her marble
brow, she looked piteously on her
children and whispered, II am almost
there" One more lingering look and
parting sigh and she was gone, gone
forever to live on High-Mother is
dead.
She was the mother of Joseph
Weibel, of Florida, o., and John G.
Weibel, near the Infirmary, of Henry
county, o.
Sadly in the grave we've laid her,
On earth farewells are o'er;
And dear Mother has gone to slumber,
| Where the weary weep no more.
Too bright flower on earth to bloom,
God sent message to call her home.
/ J. W.

THE worst thief at large in this
country to-day is the highly respect
able, well connected, in fact. aristo-
cratic, gold dollar. He has declared
that his brother, the silver dollar, is
dishonest. and on this groundless
charge has run him into the jail of
demonstration and holds him there,
denying all appeal. Meanwhile in
the name of the law, the robber gold
dollar is plundering all the produc-
tive forces OF the country. He is filch-
ing from the farmer Of the west. He
is purloining from the planter Of the
of the south. He Is looting labor. In
word, his thieving hand is in every
mans pocket. Arrest the rascal and
put him under bonds to behave him

Tins il pretty pointed, coming as


THIS is pretty pointed, coming as it
does from the Chicago Tribune, one
Of the most influential Republican
papers in the northwest: ''Mr. Reed,
preferring victory to defeat, tells the
Republicans to follow that middle
road which the people favor and
which they have SO often rebuked the
politicians for not pursuing. This is
sound advice. II the party adheres
to it during the next two years in
stead Of trotting around with Nc
Kinley chip on its shoulder, daring
the Democrats to knock it of, it will
win. If It falls into the hands Of the
prohibitory protection zealots and OF
those politicians whose brains are
even smaller than the small offices
they long for, only Democratic blum
ders can save the Republicans.

What the Dempcrats of Ohio In
tend to Do.

In the Pittsburg Times, "a Repub-
.lican paper we find this statement
under date Columbus, o., Dec. 30:
1.-THE Democratic party in Ohio will
make the effort of its life to capture
the state at the election next Novem-
ber. 1t will cut loose from Cleveland
and all such national issues as the
tariff, currency and silver, and make
the campaign solely on state issues.
1t will attach the Republican legisla-
lures and administrations on the
grounds that they have multiplied
useless Offices, increased taxation and
added to the state debt.
1t will appeal to the people on the
score of economy and promise re-
duction of debt and taxes and the
abolition of official sinecures. On this
platform the leaders believe they can
carry the majority of the voters with
them, and it is fact that Democratic
victories in Ohio during the past 20
years have been generally won on
state issues, and when the Republi-
cans were most strongly intrenched

THE county elections in Georgia
took place last week, and have result
ed in astonishing gains for the Demo
Gratis. Counties which have been
voting strongly Populistic for the
past two years have been carried by
the Democrats in this election, in
fact every county in the State has
gone Democratic with the exception
of fifteen. From this it would seem
that our Republican friends were lit
tie premature in burying the Demo.
cratic party. The good old party
still lives and will elect the next Presi
dent in 1896.

BRO. RUSSELL, of the Signal, felt
quite grieved last week because the
NORTHWEST had stated that there
was nothing strikingly new in his IL
lustrated edition. We can't help it,
and our assertion is backed by the
fact that at least three-fourths of the
cuts which appeared in the Sigma
were rehashed from the NORTHWEST
Nescs and the Toledo Bee. Many o1
them had appeared in the NORTH
WEST years ago.

causes. One is thar the electric roads

other reason is the less volume of bust
