1t is now currently reported that
Senator Iohn r. Hankey has purchased
the interest in the B. G. Sentinel
lately owned by j. Nj. Hoffa. Mr..
Hoffa will thus be enabled to ''let go''
OF the property that has evidently been
heavy on his hands, and take charge oil
the Tribune, the controlling interest
in which he purchased last fall. Just
how this change will effect the Senti-
mel is unknown. Editor Brewer is a
strong Sherman man and we would as
soon expect the heavens to fall as to
hear OF his ever forsaking that tried
and true servant of the Nation; but
Senator Hankey is Foraker follower,
and II ever the interests OF the two Sen.
ators should clash, what beautiful
time there would be in the Sentinel
Office. And then there is Mr.. Vail,
who owns quarter interest; il Sena.
tor Hankey should not agree with that
gentleman Sammy might squelch the
Senator. There is one consolation
Mr.. Hankey generally knows what he
is doing and where he is at" and il
Hanley gets squeezed it will be the
first time it ever occurred.

The committee appointed to report
upon the advisability Of putting an
electric light plant in the new court
house made their report on Friday last.
They had Investigated the different
plants in various counties and many
private ones, and found that consumers
in the city OF Toledo and elsewhere
paid 81 to IL cents per thousand watts.
The bids for supplying machinery for
electric lighting were all rejected, as 1t
was found that machinery could be Sc
cured at private purchase for less
money than that offered by the bidders.
AS yet nothing definite has been done
regarding the matter.

The people OF the north part of the
county would be greatly pleased if the
time should ever come that the county
Commissioners will have done with
building court houses and will have a
little time to devote to some much
needed improvements in roads. We
have called attention to the need of a
fence on the side OF the road approach
ing the Maumee bridge, predicting
that sooner or later some one would
get hurt there. AS yet no fence has
been constructed but last SATURDAY.

dumped over the embankment and
three persons badly bruised, and mar

Commissioners see that the fence Is

ging along and nothing being done. II
is said there is no law under which
anything can be done. That's very
s trange. If it was a road running into
Bowling Green the people of that city
would IuIorm the Commissioners that
If there was no law they should make
o ne, and the law would soon be found
no the road soon repaired. The line
of townships through which the Pike
road passes pay large taxes and cast d
large vote and the citizens OF these

selves heard later on II some steps are
not taken very soon toward reclaiming
road that has become wretched
thro ugh the neglect OF the county

The following paragraph is taken
from an article written by Rev. Chas.
Scadding OF Toledo:
There are some people, yea, many
people, always looking out for slights.
They cannot carry on the daily inter
course of the family without some
otfense is designated. If they meet an
acquaintance on the street, who nap
pens to be preoccupied with business,
they attribute his abstra otion to some
mood personal to themselves, and take
umbrage accordingly. They lay on
others the fact of their irritability. A
flt OF Indignation makes them see i'm.
pertinence in every one they come in
contact with. Innocent persons who
never dreamed of giving offense, are
astonished to find some unfortunate
word or momentary taciturnity mistals.
en- for an insult. To say the least, the
habit 10 unfortunate. 1t Is far wiser to
take the more charitable view of our
fellow-beings, and not suppose slight
is intended unless the neglect is open
and direct. After all, too, life takes
its bues in a great degree from the
color Of our mind. II we are frank and
generous, the world treats us kindly
If on the contrary, we are suspicious
men learn to be cold and cautious to-
ward I'd. Let person get the reputa-
tion OF being touchy, and everybody il
under moro or less constraint, and il
this way the chance OF an imaginary
offense Is increased.

Congressman Southard has only had
one term, (not yet ended) in Congress.
He has been faithful to his constituency
and is deserving OF a second term.
Every effort should be made to insure
a denomination by acclamation at the
convention. II there is any other per-
son who is dying to serve his country
in Congress, just let him continue to
die until Southard's second term has
expired.

In an article on the political situation
the Commercial says-'Among good
citizens of the Republican faith there
ara no factions in this (Lucas) county.
All are Tor Southard and all for McKin-
ley.' Well, if that is all you know OF
the situation, neither Southard nor Nc
Kinley had better trust their campaign
work to you. The Commercial man
had better get out of his den and walk
aroune two spares, keeping open his
eyes and ears, and if he don't see and
hear something that will
change his belief it will be because he
is deaf and blind and almighty dumb.

The Toledo Blade, which endeavors
to pose as leading daily newspaper OF
the State, frequently asks the question,
WHO killed Mrs. Peaney ?" While
this question is an important one. the
mystery surrounding which should be
solved, would 1T not be well for the
Blade to emulate the example OF the
Cincinnati Enquirer and with It's repor-
torial staff and the use of its surplus
cash, set about to solve the mystery
and bring about the conviction of the
purpetrator of that foul and bloody
crime ? The Enquirer not only asked
s'who killed Pearl Bryan" but with
praiseworthy promptitude they found
the guilty ones. But the Blade, with
childlike simplicity, meekly murmurs
- Who killed Mrs. Peanev ?"

MIR. Frank S. Waterhouse, who has
been absent In Kansas and Arkansas for
the year past, has returned heme for the
summer in improved health. Mr. Wat
srhouss thinks that Kansas will come
out Republican in the national contest
He says a mum Der OF the Kansas farmers
who were in debt have paid up good
part of it, and, while they are not
pleased with the prospect, still they will
probably stay with the party. There are
but few Democrats in the State but they
are. for the most part, gold Democrats.
There are lots of Populists. and these
are chiefly the Ensn who have not paid
off any Of their debts. and when they as
certain that they can get but three dol
lars hundred weight for their choice

In Arkansas the people are free silver
all through, but they are fortunate in a
very prainy leader, Senator Jones of
that State. Arkansas. however, was al
