There is considerable anxiety
felt over the fruit prospects of this
section. 1t is feared by many that
the present warm and sunny wealth
er has Drought much Of the fruit SO
far along that it is likely to be in
jured by inclement weather, which
we are very liable yet to have. We
hope, however, that the fears are
groundless.
Toledo is once more barberless,
our kuight of the razor and scissors
having removed with all his effects
TO our neighboring city of Yaquita.
Toledo people will have to go with
scraggley boards and long locks
unless we can get some other fellow
to try his luck here. But jokes
aside, Toledo offers a good location
for a sober and industrious barber,
and no Others need apply.

r Mrs. c. G. COPELAND,
The state tax due from Lincoln
county this year amounts to
S2,254.46 as against $4,r99.25 last
year. The cause of this decrease is
partly owing 10 the smaller state
levy and partly to the smaller
r valuation on the roll. ,,

With every school meeting held

at elections held in districts having
less than 1000 population. BY

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has ap-
pointed Judge Judson Harmon, of
Cincinnati, Attorney General, lnplace
Of Richard Olney, who has been made
Secretary of State.
Judge Harmon was born near Gin
cinnati forty-nine years ago and has
always lived in Cincinnati where he
is known by everybody. His father,
Rev. B. F. Harmon, was Baptist
minister well known throughout the
Ohio valley. Judge Harmon gradu-
ated at Dennison university, a Baptist
institution at Granville, Ohio, IN 1866,
and began the practice of law in Gin
cinnati in 1859. He was Republican
till 1872, when he supported Horace
Greeley and has been q Democrat
since. He was elected superior judge
in 1878, reelected in 1883, and when
Ex-Governor Hoadley went to New
York in 1887 Judge Harmon resigned
from the bench to become the head
of the firm OF Harmon, Colston, Gold
smith and Hoadley, which represents
several railroads and other large cor
porations and with which firm he will
continue his connection. When Judge
Harmon resigned in 1887, Governor
Foraker appointed Judge William
Taft, United States circuit Judge and
formerly solicitor general to the vac.
cancy. Mrs. Harmon is an accomp.
lished lady, the daughter of the later
DR.. Scobey, of Hamilton. They have
three daughters, Mrs. Edman Wright,
ir,, of Philadelphia; Miss Elizabeth, a
recognized society leader, and Mar
joria, the youngest Of the family who
is IA years old.

WHEN the Wilson law put copper
on the free list the Republicans made
proclamation it would kill the copper
industry. i. The new tariff has been in
operation about nine months, during
which time the value OF the copper
exported from this country has been
$11, 1896, 107. This does not look like
killing an industry by free trade,
when we are exporting such a large
amount and meeting the competition
OF the world. The exports Of copper
for the full year will have greater
value than the value of the exports
any year during the Mckinley law.
''The copper industry was never in Il
more fourishing condition." says a
trade paper. And under the Wilson
law.

AT the meeting of the Epworth
League of this district in Toledo last
week Chas. P. Griffin, who aspires to
the Republican nomination for state
senator, was roundly denounced and
condemned for his actions in the last
legislature. His legislative career
was pronounced failure, and the
Republican party convention that
gave him the power to choose his own
delegates was condemned in unequiv-
ocal language, amid applause.

Republicans Calling Each Other
Down.

The Mckinley law during the first
nine months of it's operation produc-
ed surplus over the expenses of the
government of $16, 1926 The Will
son-Gorman tariff during the first
nine months of it's operation, shows a
deficit of $50, 719, $50. Add the two
sums and you get sum showing the
difference between Democratic and
Republican control of the govern
ment. Toledo Commercial.
The statement in regard to the sur
plus under the Mckinley law in it's
first nine months and subsequent de-
ficit is correct. The last statement is
false. By adding these two together
we do not get the difference between
Democratic and Republican control
of the government by any means. 1t
is grossly unfair for Republican pa
per to make such statement because
it is not justified. Why would it not
be much fairer to compare the first
nine months of the Wilson G orman
tariff with the last nine months of the
Mckinley law and not go back four
years? The condition of things Is en-
tirely different to-day from what it
was when the Mckinley law went in
to effect. To be frank and manly
about it the Commercial should ad-
nit what is true, that under the Nc
Kinley law the surplus gradually de-
clined until in its last nine months
there was an absolute deficit and
there would have been still greater
deficit in the next nine months under
the Mckinley law We had reached
the turning point in the United States
and there was no power in congress
to prevent the hard times and the
panic. We might have mitigated the
fall by wiser legislation than the
Democratic party is capable Of, but
we could not have averted much OF
the disasters Of the last two or three
years. Those are the facts and it is
well enough for Republicans to admit
them. -Sandusky Register, Rep.

THE Republican gang of Defiance

THE Republican gang of Defiance
county, who have been bounding ex-
Treasurer Conkle, for political effect,
claiming that he owed the county a
large sum Of money, have been beaten
by the referees before whom the case
was tried, by order OF fcourt Instead
Of Mr.. Conkle owing the county
thousands of dollars the referees re-
port that they find him in debt to
Defiance county in the sum Of $15.97l
The expense Of the case is over $500,
big slice OF which went to examiner
Vortriede, sent into Defiance county
by State Auditor Poe, also for politi-
cal effect.

While the result in Kentucky was
close last November, the Republicans
claim better prospects this year. They
say the Democracy Of the state is so
divided on the silver question as to give
the Republicans an opportunity. The
Republicans have adopted a strong
''sound money" platform and feel that
they will lose very few silverites.
Coming Democratic Convention.
The Democratic state conveStion
meets here June 20, and whether the
Carlisleites for "sound money" or the
Blackburnites for free silver prevail, the
Republicans think their old dominant
opponents will be so divided as to give
yesterdays nominees fighting chance

"The gold dollar is not an honest
dollar it is not sound money As
shown by the average prices of com
modities given in the preceding edi-
torial, the gold dollar was worth 30
per cent more in 1S90-91 than in
1870-73, and on June /, 1894, the hon
est dollar was worth 66 per cent,
more than 1878. In 1S90-91 the silver
dollar, as bullion, was worth 1 per
cent. more than in 1870-73, and on
June 1, 1894, it was worth, not in
America where it is subsidiary to
gold, nor in India where it is treated
as merchandise, but in China, exact.
ly as much as in 1878. At Shanghai
on Dec. 81, 1894, the gold dollar was
worth 105 per cent more than in 1878,
would buy more than twice as much
as it would twenty years before. The
silver dollar would buy per cent.
less.
Which then is the honest dollar
The gold dollar had appreciated
by June /, 1894, 66 per cent. measur-
ed in commodities produced by gold
using countries; December 81, 105 per
cent. measured in commodities pro
duced by silver using nations. The
silver dollar had deprecated by June
/, 1894, 20 per cent. measured in com
modities produced by gold using
countries; 5 per cent. measured by
commodities in silver using coun-
tries.
1t is no longer a so cent dollar, but
a 100 cent silver dollar and 300 cent
gold dollar.
Which is the sounder money, silver
deprecated 3 per cent. or gold ap.
