Is THIS THE PREVAILING STYLE.

Formerly our United States Senators
were grave and much revered SeigniorS,
who were supposed to represent the best
mental and moral fiber of the country.
In later years, since Doodle politics has
cursed this land as it was never cursed
before, We find men in the United States
Senate Of very moderate mentality, and
of no adequate appreciation Of the posi-
ton United States Senator should oc-
Cupy. The following recital Of the social
emenities of Kansas Senator is from
the Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times Of Sunday:
at has never been customary TO asso-
ciate the President with any of those
graceful politenesses Of the softer and
more social side of life. That impression
of him which gains general ground is
that the President is of rugged, hardy,
unromantic type.
"a primrose by a rivers brim,
simple primrose was TO him."
THAT is the worlds notion of Mr..
Cleveland. Yet he can bend like auy
willow if one but brings him a breeze.
Yesterday Senator Martin, of Kansas,
finding an idle hour on his hands, was
escorting Miss Edith Crane and Miss
Georgia Wells about the town with true
| senatorial courtesy. Miss Crane and
Miss Wells are charming actresses, just
now playing at a local theatre. Under
convoy Of Senator Martin the ladies in
vaded the White House. Once there
just to give his fair charges an impression
of the power and range of Senator, th'
| Kansas statesman sent their cards t
President Cleveland. The color lef
Thurber's cheek when the order came t
show the Senator and the ladies in
Thurber sank dizzy and sick into hi
chair while the procession of pomp anC
beauty, Senator and actresses, passed oil
to the President, Then Mr.. Cleveland
being in a Christmas spirit, bestowed
upon each young woman an autograph
photograph Of himself and a red anC
blushing rose. Such is life in the ia

Nimishinen Township Teachers. =.

The teachers of Nimishillen township met
at Harrisburg on Saturday evening Dec. 20,
1894, to hold their fifth session of this school
year. The people of our township are appreci-
ating the work that is being done by their
corps of teachers and are attending the
meetings. The house at Harrisburg was
crowded TO its full capacity and every speaker
was shown proper respect by the audience.
The interest manifested by the teachers was
fully up the standard for which the associa-
ton is known. The following officers were
elected: President, a. +. Schriver; vice
president, ii. 5. Knoll; secretary, NJ. l.. HUT;
executive committee, J. NJ. Coy and II. V.
Summers; marshal, +. Grimminger Eva Coy,
Ada Sha1er and Miss Pricing delivered excel
lent recitations which were well received by
the audience. J. l.. Coy sang n solo entitled

EX.Gov. and Ex-Secretary of the
Treasury, Charles Foster, has just re-
turned to Fostoria from an extended trip
to the Pacific States. He announces a
modified opinion on the silver question.
He is now disposed to favor silver coin
age, but he fails to state the extent of
his conversion. Only few briei years
ago Mr.. Foster was sharp corner in
Ohio's Big Four, and one of the promi-
nent characters in our great array Of
National statesmen. But since he has
lost his wealth, he is not now regarded
as highly in the g. 0. p., as that party
largely estimates its public men by their
social accoutrements and ability to buy
votes. Hence, we may be allowed to in
fer that Mr.. Fosters change of position
on the silver question will not attract
wide attention. Probably the organs of
the single gold standard will not even
refer to it.

A NEW YORK VIEW OF THE CAR.
Isle BILL.
From the New York Recorder.

Briefly stated, the program is this
To substitute bank note currency, to be
expanded, contracted and generally y man
ipulated by the banks, for the govern
ment's own paper currency, issued in
the nations name and regulated by the
nations representatives in Congress as
sembled.
Thus persistent pressure has been
exerted by the international Usurers'
league to enhance the price of gold coin,
decrease the volume of our currency, and
increase the indebtedness of our people.
The Cleveland administration has been
from the start, and is today, the political
creature and catspaw of the Information
al Usurers' league.
The Interior purpose Of the bill is to
force the retirement of all the legal
tenders, compel other and larger gold
bond issues, and transfer the entire
power of issuing money from the peoples
Congress to the parlors of the banks.

A thrilling dispatch comes from In
dianapolis, that before Gen. Ben Harri-
son again becomes candidate for Presi-
dent, ex-Gov Foraker will be consulted.
And then the dispatch says
Harrison stands better in this state
today than he ever did. For time it
seemed that Mckinley would have a
goodly following here, but the ex-Presi-
dent himself stamped that out. 1t is
realized that Ohio's present Governor
will have terrific time in securing a
solid delegation from his own state, with
the chances largely against him, 1t is
not considered that Mckinley will be in
the contest to any appreciable extent,
and il is the intention to attempt to so
arrange matters that Foraker may be
looked to to protect Harrison's interests.

the silver question in the following un-

of Dec. 26th

Joined President Cleveland in his unholy
ane lawless effort to establish and make
permanent in this country the single
gold standard, they should alter their
tone considerably. Just as surely as the
Republican party abandons the position
it has maintained on the tariff and be-

A HAPPY NFw YEAR.

A happy New Year to all our patrons
and friends. A year full of the solid
comforts of life, and Of the more whole
some inspirations of better life. A year
of better times for all those struggling
against what seems an adverse fate, and
year Of better hopes for those in which
all there is of life is hope.
Old '94 Is near the grave, and the new
80 that is to be, before this ink is fairly
dry, will bring, we trust, comfort and
cheer and blessings more abundant than
came to us in the dreary '94. All the
signs of the times seem full of hope and
promise that it will.
In this great bounteous new land Of
ours, the newest great Republic under
the eye of the Almighty, there Is food
enough, and work enough for every man
and woman and child, we're the laws
equitable and the bounties equitably dis
tributed.
If our land is filed with tramps, if
pauper houses and insane asylumns are
full to overhowing with the destitute
and unfortunate, if our cemeteries
are filed with suicides, it is
largely because of mans injustice to his
fellow man, which, for over a quarter of
a century, has found n cruel expression
in unjust laws. And yet the people are
afflicted with no Sultans, or Cars, or
Kings, or Shahs, or Grand Moguls, and
the laws under which we are now living
are the direct product of all the people,
each citizen of the Republic casting one
free ballot. Our rulers are of our own
creation, and if party fettes have
shackled freedom and intelligence, and
blinded the masses, so that they can no
longer see the true way, it cannot be
charged to kingly craft, but solely to
the false leaders of our own creation.
The people are omnipotent and now,
on the threshold of a new year, let us
all, with firm foot and heroic resolve,
aim to the best and highest endeavor
for the common good, for ourselves, our
fellows, our common country and our
common humanity.
A Happy New Year to all.

tallow candles. And in the White House
electricity is cheaper and better than
tallow candles, as tsliow candles shed
too much grease on the carpet, and the

the White House carpets.

Nealtlly Eark on Trees.

After few years nature does her
best to get rid of the external bark.
Few operations are more useful in COM
paratively old orchard trees than to
scrub or wash the bark in the winter
season, according to Meehan's Monthly,
which says: Some few people think that
this old bark in some way protects the
trees from low temperature, but any OBJ
server may note that it is not until a
branch is several years old. In the ap-
pie tree, for instance, it is ten years old
before the rough bark appears, and if
protection from cold be the province Of
old bark the young branches would re-
quire that protection much more surely
than the older and stronger portions OF
the tree.

THERE is cause to fear that Canton is
to have serious epidemic on its hands
from the rapid spread Of diphtheria.
Owing to the large amount of travel be-
tween that city and Alliance our authori-
tea should be on the alert to prevent
the dreaded disease getting foothold
here. Alliance Review.
No fear whatever, Don't try and get
up scare, neighbor. There are only
about 20 cases in town altogether, and
the disease is not here in malignant
form. We hope the Review will make
the correction, and that paper is cer-
tainly too fair minded and honorable to
attempt toinjure Canton by getting up a
diphtheria scare in Alliance and the sur
rounding towns, when there is no scare,
even in Canton.

THE New York Post which is recog-
nized as the personal organ of President
Cleveland, calls upon Secretary Carlisle
to resign, The Post says Carlisle
is failure as finance
minister. This is outrageously
unjust in the Post. Secretary Carlisle
has, in every instance, since he has been
at the head of the Treasury, carried out
the policy of the President, just as advo-
Gated by the N. Y. Post. If he has failed, {,
he has failed because he has been badly
advised. Surely those who have made a
policy for Secretary Carlisle, are in dis
reputable business TO cry failure and let
loose the dogs of war, because the policy
has not produced the results its authors
predicted.
