The density of the ignorance that
prevails in regard to silver and sill
yer production is really appalling.
An editorial in the Grafton Leader
contains the following statement:
eve can easily see why the PEG
pie of the silver producing western
states should clamor for the I'M
limited coinage of silver, because in
it they have commodity that can
be produced as cheaply as Missouri
can produce corn"
Now if that is the essence of des-
peration in a despicable cause, we
would like to have a specimen in
that line. That statement is so
original that it would be no trouble
to have it patented, and that course
might save the soul of some inno-
cent man who may otherwise per-
petrate it for the truth. We sug-
gest that Taylor quit writing on the
silver question or else have himself
incorporated, He knows too much

evidence of the fact that the office
seeks the man and not the man the
Office. The voters of Ohio will
undoubtedly elect Campbell as their
next Governor. He is an able man
and a brilliant orator, and will
reflect credit upon the people of
Ohio. Bushnell, his Republican
opponent, has nothing in the world
to recommend him unless it be that
he is the owner of millions.
Wood county teachers passed a
resolution favoring a law barring
from the profession all persons who
habitually use tobacco or alcoholic
drinks or profane language. With
such law in operation it might be
difficult to supply all the schools
with teachers but would no doubt
have a wholesome effect on the
morals of the youths.
The weather remains intensely
hot and the sun is scorching the
