If This De Treason, Etc.

AL men of common sense are dis
gusted with the fool twaddle of mug
wu:nps and cuckoos that Grover Cleve-
land is the greatest, wisest, purest states
man that ever did or ever can exist--the
one infallible and immaculate mortal of
the world. One doesn't have to dislike
Mr.. Cleveland to know that these par
ticular admirers Of his are merely the
belly crawlers and sycophants of power
whom Cleveland himself in his inmost
heart must utterly despise. There were
great men before Agamomnon al there
are men in this republic today just as
capable Of filing the office of president
as Grover Cleveland. 1t is not neces-
sary to make him president for life, with
power to name his successor, in order to
save the country. All that is needed is
to send ont the foolkiller armed with a
willow wand to mash the soft heads OF

Playing Tor the Presidency.

Mr.. james E. Campbell, Democratic
candidate for governor, was little late
with his fireworks ON the Monroe doc
trine. The Republican statesmen have
been demanding self-respecting and
vigorous foreign policy for years, and
have enforced their demand when
clothed with power. Early last spring
Ex-Governor Foraker made a notable
speech on the Monroe doctrine, and Mr..
Campbell later effort in New York was
little more than an echo of Governor
Foraker's, plus some noisy jingo and
buster. The only reason in the world
that Mr.. Campbell's utterances on the
Monroe doctrine have arrested attention
for Il second is that he is Democrat,
and people find it odd that, in view Of the
feeble and shameful record of the Cleye.
land administration in the domain of
foreign affairs, a Democrat should, even
for purposes of lf-advertisement, lift
his voice in favor of maintaining the
dignity and prestige of the nation.
Campbell's Monroe doctrine bluster is
nothing more or less than an appeal to
the masses for popularity and promi-
nence in connection with possible presi-
dental nomination.

CONCERNING MR.. FORAKER
And the Part He WIN Take In the Ohio
Campaign.


Campaign.
Several eastern newspapers, the edit
ors of which seem to think they arc
well up in Ohio politics, are taking
great delight just now in trying to
make it appear that Ex-Governor Joseph
B. Foraker is displaying great activity
and some nervousness about the result
of the November election. For want OF
something better to say these papers to
which we have referred are indulging
in their usual style Of criticism concern
ing Mr.. Foraker and are accusing him
already of doing things that he proba.
bly, never dreamed Of. One says that
Mr.. EUralier proposes to jump upon u
stump and fight the whole war over
again, and others contain illusions to
past campaigns in which Mr.. Foraker
has been tho most prominent man.
1t may bo well TO say to these eastern
editors that up to the present time in
this campaign Mr.. Foraker has not de.
parted from his rule of being strong
and hardworking good citizen. He is
very busy with his practice in Cincin.
natl and the spare time he devotes to
politics is certainly to his own financial
detriment.
When the proper time comes Mr.. For
aller unQuestionably will take an active
part in the Ohio campaign. He will do
this for the Republican party in general
and for Governor Mckinley, General
Asa Bushnell, the Republican candi-
dates, and for himself in particular.
We can not see that Mr.. Foraker is to
be criticized for having such a program.
He is Il man to whom political ways
come rs naturally as the aquatic instinct
to ducllling. In that respect he is like
very large number of men in any state
or community and as it is not consid-
cred dishonorable to be leading politi-
clan or leader of large portion Of the
people, we fail to see why Mr.. Foraker
should be held accountable for anything
he may do i'll that line, provided it is
honest and just, as it certainly will be.
The eastern editors are certainly an
ticipating their own Nightmares by
starting out with denunciations of Mr..
Foraker. The news that Mr.. Foraker
is offending to his own private business
and that his part i'll the campaign will
only be that of leading Republican
may deprive the eastern critics of the
chance to use some material. If they
wish to be just they will Immediately
cease their ti-Forakerisms and wait
until the Ohio man has done something
which they can construs as handle for
a protest.
We have not entered into this defense
of MIR. Foraker because he happened to
be the man whom the large majority of
the Republicans of Ohio have declared
shall be the successor Of Senator Calvin
S. Brice. We have not intended to re-
fer to Mr.. Foraker's political ambitions
or to the ambition his friends have for
him. We have looked at the matter in
the abstract for the sake Of giving justice
where justice is due.-Columbu Dis

THE WATERMELON NET.
A Convenient Contrivnnco for Carrying
Home tho Mnssivo Frnit.

Home the Massive Fruit.
The invention of the watermelon net
was due primarily to u change in the
shape OF watermelons. Years ago the
great majority of watermelons were
much longer than they were thick.
Then whom man carried home the
watermelon which be had bought the
dealer took q turn around one end of it
with stout cord, carried the cord
along to the other end, and took an
other turn there, and the connecting
length of cord between the loops
served as handle, while the shape of
the melon kept the loops from slipping
Off. But with the change of the melon
to the shorter, chubbicr shape now
prevailing this plan was no longer pos
sible, and so the net came in six or
eight years ago.
The watermelon nets, says the New
York Sun, are made of iutc twine
called melon twine. They are of one
size. They are big enough for any
melon, and with small melon in net
it is easy to take up the slack. They
are made altogether by hand. at odd
times, by people accustomed to net
making. They are sold at wholesale at
two dollars a hundred. The melon
dealer used to charge five cents for a
net, but now most dealers give the nets
away.
Notwithstanding their bulk many
melons are carried home by the pur-
chaser. The suburban resident may
spot a particularly fine melon and take
1t right along with him in n net; man
living in the city may do the same
thing. Whatever the circumstances
under which man wants to take a
melon with him the net is a great con-
venience; it beats carrying the water
melon under the arm out of sight.
But while many melons are thus car
ried in the course of the season, still
the great majority of waternclons are
sent home just like other things, and
SO after all the sale of watermelon nets
amounts to only few thousands an
nually.

rhE WOOL INDUSTRY.
Protective Duties Benefit woolgrower
Free Wool Is Ruin.

Protective Duties Benefit woolgrowers.
Free Wool Is Ruin.
The wool tariff act of March 2, 1867,
gave adequate protect to our chief
wool product under &C 8 ions then ex-
listing. Under it the pr.Ts of wool were
fairly remunerative. Sheep increased
from 20, AT ,65l in 1870, producing 100,-
1o2,9s7 pounds of wool, to 80, ,65G, ,626 in
1884, producing 80S, 900, 900 pounds. In
four years, from January, 1880, to JAN
uary, 1884, sheep increased in number
"a per cent. Then unfortunately came
the tariff act of March 8, 1883, reducing
wool duties. Under Il sheep declined
in number 5o,626, 62e in 1884. with a
wool clip of 9os, ,o0o, 900 pounds. to only
AZ, ,43l ,188 In 1891, producing 2S5, 900, ,O0C
pounds. In view Of the injury resulting
from the reduction, the tariff act OF
Oct 1, 1890, known as the Mckinley
law, increased the duties on wool, and
American flocks grew in numbers to Al,
273,553 in 1893, producing 34s, 53S, 1sa
pounds Of wool. Then again in the
midst of prosperity came disaster. With
the result Of the election of 1899 came
the certainty Of free wool, subsequently
enacted In the Wilson German tariff act
Of Aug. 2s, 1894. The result is shown
in the reduction of sheep, in wool prod.

The Man and His Price.

Here is pretty direct information of
the charge that Campbell is Brice's hired
man. There is no more truthful man
in our list Of acquaintances than Mr..
w. A. Koons of the Tuscarawas Tri.
bune, and here is what he says:
We have the information from one Of the del.
egates from this county 10 the Democratic
state convention that not until Senator Brice
agreed to pay all the campaign expenses and
give him $4,000 did James E. Camsbill consent
TO make the race for governor this fall.
We had heard that the price was $780,
600, but $4,000 is enough to nail the
truth that Brice is dealing in Ohio De-
mocracy as he does in railroad stocks,
just for what he can make out Of it,

 In the course of the evenings fes- tivities Hartford young man, Frank Gladwin, who formerly resided in West brook, and was visiting at his old home missed $2 from one of his pockets, and accused some of the crowd of talk ing the money.
 Some of the guests, who had been partaking freely of Saybrook's cure for snake bites, became engaged in a wordy argument over the matter, and one, O'Neil, who halls from New Haven, announced that he had been in the prize ring and was fighter. At this he was invited out upon the lawn by Edward Coulter of Saybrook, who for merly ran the hotel.

It was three hours before O'NeiI fully re- covered consciousness.

NEw PRISON DIRECTORS.
Sketches of Those Who Were Named Yes

Sketches of Those Who Were Named Yes- terday by Governor Coffin.
 A few words about the four new state prison directors named last Thurs day afternoon by Governor Coffin and sent to the senate for confirmation, are as follows:
 James w. Cheney Is one of the best known men in Manchester. He is con- nected with the great silk works of the Cheney Brothers, occupying an impor- tant position there. He has never sought public office, but was elected to the general assembly in 1871. He has given his time first to business and after that to maintaining the re- publican party in that town. For years he has been active in its town com mlttee and his hard and enthusiastic work made Manchester the banner town of the state in 1894 MT. Cheney has many friends in Hartford and is a member of the Veteran City Guard, having been one of the charter members of that organization.
 Thomas Dudley Wells is the editor of the Waterbury Republican and is known all over the state as clever writer and a courageous fighter He has been especially active in the effort to secure an honest secret ballot law and corrupt practices act. He repre- sents the better element of the repub- lican party and will make an excellent member of any state board.
 James Mclaughlin of Stafford Springs is the editor of the Stafford Springs Press, a well known and excellent Tol- land county newspaper. He is one of the influential men of his county and is we'll qualified for responsible work. He was one of the two Connecticut citizens selected to conduct the taking of the census
 John W. Marvin of Deep River is one of the well known residents of Mid dlesex county. He has long occupied a prominent position there in business and political circles. In 1871 and 1872 he was member from Saybrook of the lower house and in 1856 he represented the Twenty-first district in the senate.
